All Glories to Sri A.C. Prabhupada Maharaja, Sri Sripada Maharaja, Sri HpS Maharaja

 Gouranga Mahaprabhu, Radha Krsna, Ki Jay and Gourabhakta Vrnda, Ki Jay!

Dandavat Pranam! [The same from us. Manipuri, Bhakta-vrnda, Ki Jay!]

I have read Guruji’s Amrtavani, it is very inspiring but I have not seen the book “Waves of Devotion” I will try to collect it whenever I find. Again I will try to open the site www.vedabase.doc also.
HpS - [No, it is www.vedabase.com]

 

I am continuing my seva activities in the simple form without offering Ana (Bhook), only lights, scents, fruits or dry fruits, tulsi-patra, flowers. I offer prasadam daily before eating with my family. Always it is prepared by my wife from local vegitables in the bhava of Smt. Radharani prepared food for Sri Krsna.

HpS - What Deity you have on your altar. For whom your wife is cooking?

Mataji …. (Mala) leads our team and jointly performs sankirtana. Guruji Maharaja, nowadays I could not open DTC. So I want to know the exact date and place of Guruji’s programme in India. Let me know for information.

Next Sunday, our initiated group will arrange the prasadam of the Sunday and I will read out some slokas from Bhagavatam 8.21.25… (About Bali Maharaja and Vamana Avatara).

In my life time, once I want to take part sankirtan and darshan arati where A.C. Prabhupada started sankirtana and preaching in Amerika. All are depends upon Guruji’s ashirvat and Krsna’s mercy.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Now we are investigating the trip to India for Kartik through Hawaii and Australia. Still not sure of the exact dates.

Tell us more of your reading experiences. Do you have a study partner. That is very nice.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj

8 years, 1 month ago by Gopal C Biswas in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. [Lettuce feet].
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Hope you are good in health.

This body does not get diseases, this body is a disease! I hope we both 'die' soon.

    Materially bad time, while spritually good at my end. Just thought, you are waiting updates from my end.

HpS  -    Very nice to hear from you.    You can see that we have reached the Rural Castle in Spain.  Today Rama-navami.  Did the key to our room ever get back to the Temple?     If we are Krsna conscious then we can use the 'bad times', no??!

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

My second letter from Chile

<pre data-fulltext="" data-placeholder="Traducción" dir="ltr" id="tw-target-text"> All glories to Srila Prabhupada My obeisances Maharaja When I read the letters that I write I think that I must learn a lot of English, so that I can write something more coherent than what the translator translates to sometimes means, it gives me a lot of laughter. HpS - Hare Krsna! Yet, the translator is a good friend if just keep an eye on what it is saying. I thank you for your loving response, it made me wonder what that marriage party would be like with Silk Saree from India, 20-elephants, horses, etcetera, but we are in austerity plans, therefore we will have to leave the horses and castles for another chance hahaha <img alt="blush" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embarrassed_smile.png" title="blush" width="23" /> HpS - Something nice!!!! I hope Maharaja can share that day with us even for a moment, so that he may give us his mercy and always have Krishna in our center. HpS - Maybe we can connect by tele-conference! On the other hand, I want to tell you that I have been practicing tolerance and abstinence from criticism, I have done well, it feels more liberating and I can be a little more loving with those around me. This, by the way that an earlier letter told you that I felt a bit unmotivated, but! HpS - Critic can be very great service. It is better to have an intelligent person for an enemy than a fool for a friend. Canakhya Pandit and Socrates both agree. Even better, criticise people so they can wake up and become your leader again. Children run into their parents bed-room, "Wake up Mommy, Daddy! There is a fire in the house! Help us, we need your leadership!". Criticize like that! Commence to do service in the temple, Wreaths of flowers to their lords Sri Sri Gaura Nitay next to a very loving devotee, who is delicately teaching me this beautiful service every Tuesday after our works offered to Krsna. After our marriage I hope to take more services to please Srila Prabhupada. Finally Maharaja, I thank you for your time to read and respond to my letters, here I am trying to be devout, to please Srila Prabhupada, drawing the attention of Sri Sri Goura Nitay to receive some of his mercy and to advance in my spiritual life, hoping that Maharaja Dhanvantari gave me a little of his mercy accepting me as his disciple and you as my siksa guru. Again sorry for this English machine Maharaja, I hope you understand what I meant. My reverence </pre>

Hare Krsna<img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" />

P.D. : 

I send you photographs of our altar, and a very curious one of our cat called Goura sleeping always next to the painting of Nrsimhadeva

HpS - AGTSP!  Paoho.  They are starting loading now!  Delta 108 to Madrid.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias. Seguimos en Huancayo, le escribi tres cartas cuando usted estuvo en India, bueno al parecer no llegaron.

HPS - ASA -- Estuvimos notificando mucho que era casi imposible responder a cartas mientras viajando... Oooooof! (sino URGENTE), por que estamos en contacto con tan mucho discupulos, gente, mientras esta giras. Como Vd. cuando esta en la calle con la. gente.

Seguimos con nuestra rutina de Mangal Artik 5 am, lectura de el Srimad - Bhagavatam, canto 1, capitulo 16, siguiendo los cuatro principios y luchando con la pecaminosa mente, [la conosca!]

...16 rondas de Japa, estamos en el Templo Bhaktivedanta de Huancayo, dirigido por Prabhu Vyasa Deva, discipulo de Jayapataka Swami, perdimos comunicación con Prabhu Jagad Bandhu esperamos volver a comunicarnos con el Prabhu.

HPS - Jaya, Jagat-bandhu, eso es nombre para Senor Jagannatha!

Tenemos programas los días miercoles y sabados a las 7 pm.

Nuestro Sankirtana, distribuimos libros en el mes de enero y febrero, ahora con el restaurante, bueno por un tiempo.

Algunas cosas cambiaron, por parte mia,  pensando en más viajes más adelante. Queremos invitarlo a que venga a  Huancayo para esté año, con quien podriamos cordinar si asi fuera??

HpS - Estamos investigando eso. Lima, Arrequipa, Huancayo, Cusco, Chochabamba!  Quien ir con nostros?

Hare Krishna

Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Sriila Prabhupaad! About the question if there is some freee energy or radiant energy like Tesla called it. Devices in human body because pranayama, dance and kirtan can raise the energy level of human very rapidly. Now I'm excited of the link I got from my blessed cousin....       Actually I'm really sorry that there is always these links... net verified data, maybe only way in vast data flow.... the link http://i-uv.com/new-research-shocks-scientists-human-emotion-physically-shapes-reality/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IUv+%28I+UV%29 . The link begins!! ::

Three different studies, done by different teams of scientists proved something really extraordinary. But when a new research connected these 3 discoveries, something shocking was realized, something hiding in plain sight.

Human emotion literally shapes the world around us. Not just our perception of the world, but reality itself.

In the first experiment, human DNA, isolated in a sealed container, was placed near a test subject. Scientists gave the donor emotional stimulus and fascinatingly enough, the emotions affected their DNA in the other room.

In the presence of negative emotions the DNA tightened. In the presence of positive emotions the coils of the DNA relaxed.

The scientists concluded that “Human emotion produces effects which defy conventional laws of physics.”

In the second, similar but unrelated experiment, different group of scientists extracted Leukocytes (white blood cells) from donors and placed into chambers so they could measure electrical changes.

In this experiment, the donor was placed in one room and subjected to “emotional stimulation” consisting of video clips, which generated different emotions in the donor.

The DNA was placed in a different room in the same building. Both the donor and his DNA were monitored and as the donor exhibited emotional peaks or valleys (measured by electrical responses), the DNA exhibited the IDENTICAL RESPONSES AT THE EXACT SAME TIME.

There was no lag time, no transmission time. The DNA peaks and valleys EXACTLY MATCHED the peaks and valleys of the donor in time.

..... so actually Lord Caitanya's theater/studio gets it's funding from net.. blockchain called NEM. Tomorrow I will be testing the Gajendra play's crocodile's head dropping/chopping mechanism. I try now attach pictures.

   There is now electricity in Gajendra. One can see the wire in the stomach now. Another wire is the bicycle wire, which will open already half ready opening lotus. It has 4 planes of petals made from palstic...and from the "flower of life" geometry. NEM blockchain is and especially will be very profitable investment for now. I'm waiting with Tesla technology to have nicer political environment and especially funding :). NEM is at least 4 years investment said one guy, quite savy one. Tent for the theater has been also found and some led laser stage tech (actually most nice with the price and even without, Stairville DJ laser polar 200) into a 4x8 meter whole black snap-on tent. Trikuuta has also lights on top to light up in three stages with dimming circuitry, self made, 3 means the three main peaks. 3 watt leds are situated under plexi glass, in the lake.Started reading CC and we try to keep kirtans with my friend at least few times a week. He got some new drums :) He has been actor, and christian,,,from countryside, which Krishna did after all. Didn't He? Hare Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances

HpS - ASA  -- Thank you for the letters. We find them interesting and practical. We opened the link above. Wish we had seen hard references for the experiments.

Have you looked at SB 3.11.5 and the following verses? We were thinking (speculating), that the Vedic atom is the minumun 'acoustical arc' that can be perceived by a human being in Sukadeva Goswamis time. In "Mindworks", Ernst Poppel left us with the hard science researched information that the minimum sequential event discrimination for a human (American) is one third that for touch, and sound is three times finer than touch. So, if we look at Critical Flicker Frequency of 24-frames per second for movies, then touch can go distinguish events that are only 1/72 of a second and sound 1/216 of a second. The hand is quicker than the eye.

A truti is 1/1, 687.5 of a second. This is much finer that 1/216, but maybe then the average Brahmana had finer senses than now. I know Indian B'cari Brahmana who had blood taken in the West and all the Doctors and Nurses were crowding to see the sample. They had never seen such fine and numerous red corpuscles.

With proper motivation, Krsna-bhakti, then we can access these subtle forces within the body for His service as needed, no?

Please spend a little more time explaining your basic vocabulary for us. Many of your names are unfamiliar to us. Thank you very much.

Hare Krsna!

Personal Sadhana and Mandir report of THOUBAL

8 years, 1 month ago by mukta singh in Personal Sadhana Reports

All Glories to Sri A.C. Prabhupada, Sripada, Sri HpS Maharaja

and Gouranga Mahaprabhu,

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay!

ISKCON Manipuri Bhakta Vrnda, Ki Jaya!   Nila-mani Das, Sadhu-bhusana Das, Ekanatha Das!  Thoubal, Sadhu-sanga, Ki Jai!

Dandavat Pranam, Guruji Swami Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Shree Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that I had read Guruji's letter with asirbad and informed to all bhaktas and matagis of our Thoubal Mandir. Now, I have completed the reading of the book "Maya : The Divine energy of the Supreme" written by Bhakti Purusattam Swami. I have collected the book “Bhakti Rashamrta Sindhu of Srila Rupa Gosvami : Comentary by Srila Jiva Gosvami and Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura translated by Bhanu Svami in English, Volume- I & II”.

HpS - It is very, very profound book. Srila Prabhupada's Nectar of Devotion is an English translation and summary study. Then Srila Prabhupada's disciple, Dhanurdara Swami, wrote a book, Waves of Devotion, that goes through chapter by chapter explaining so many details. We are reading Chapter 12 of Nectar of Devotion this week. Join us. It is available at www.vedabase.doc also.

I have daily mangal arati in my home but in the chitrabot of Radha-Krsna Jugala Murti, Jaganatha-Baladeva-Subhadra, Panchatattva, A.C.Prabhupada-Sripada-HpS Maharaja. Now I have no proper mandir so I managed on the table. My house is under construction, so after completion of the constlruction a better place of worship will be accommodated. In the evening sandhya arati also without kirtan.

HpS - So, very, very nice!   What are you cooking for Krsna each day???

Guruji Maharaja! In some of the replies of different questions in the blog Guruji mentioned that complete 16 rounds should be completed in the morning. In this reply I want to know that in the Nisanta:2 a.m. or so if I want to chant will I start after bathing or without bathing?

HpS - You can complete them any time each day, but in the morning is best. Before Mangala arati is the best. You can get up at 2am if that is practical and then wash your hands, face, mouth, feet and chant. Then take full bath later.

From the last Sunday, out initiated team started Nama Sankirtan in front of the daities of our Thoubal Mandir before starting normal Sunday Programme.

HpS - Who was chanting?

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - We are making plans now to come to India during Kartika.  Now we write the DTC.  We also put the picture here of our first ISKCON deities. Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda in San Francisco temple.
