Hare Krisna maharaja

PAMHO AGTSP

Am  I suffering ?

Or may be I am surfing

May be I am surfering

in the material world.

Right now in Alicante 

Our plan was to perform some Sankirtana (Book distribution) Jagya but as usuall Krisna had some other plans.

Got involved in Yasodanandana prabhu Krisna cusine Lila.

Yadu Swami, Nitiananda prabhu and my good self try to help in the mediation.

Finally we got a win win solution by krisna´s merci.

We are trying to help Yasodanandana prabhu´s family to stablish in Radadesh.

He has a sister in brussels and she would like to support and we belife is a nice place for the children to grow.

Yasodanandana prabhu is allready there. Lets see wich are the plans of the teenager and his flute.

Marta and my self keep surfing in the material world dressing the mess with some bhakti stuff.

Basic shadana 16/4 reg

Dealing with some cyatic nerve pain and geting recover from the 3 years service in Madrid slowly but surely.

Some book distribution

Taking care of the veg garden (we are now 70 % food self suffency, got potatos, and pumquins for the whole winter and plenty of salad and beets, carrots, Kale, cabagge, chard , etc) we eat simply but healthy

Also developing some euro funding projects:

Took some 15 second generation devotees to the slovenian padayatra for 15 days it was a crazy, nice trip. All of the boys and girls restablish their identities as young vaisnavas, many of them cried on the begining because did not want to come and then cried at the end because they did not want to go back home.

These Euro funding and the sankirtan is helping us to get out of debts and hopefully we will get rid of on the beguining of 2017.

Also helping yadunandana swami´s institute and other ISKCON friendly projects to get acces to the funding.

We also got a nice second hand 9 seats van and we are using it in the service of the sankirtan and the devotees.

So Basicaly we have our base at north Spain, taking care of my lovely vrindavan son. 

He will go to university in 2 and 1/2 years then we will see.

Doing some sankirtan and some devotee care.

Taking care of the garden and working with second generation and euro funding.

From the administrative point of view I am under the authoritie of Yadunandana Swami and GBC Hrdaya Caitanya but basicaly running my own organitation www.asociacion-nandagram.org

One devotee asked me if I worship my own deities and then I thought that the devotees are my deities I am not patient enough to worshes but I love to help devotees to fulfill their dreams and to solve their obstucles so for now on I will acept devotees as my deities.

Miss you a lot

Hope to see you soon

HPS - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. Thank you for your letter. First principle is that we can die at any moment. A driver can lose control on the highway and smash your body into mutilated corpse or... first we accept this principle and give our life to Krsna. Then the witch cannot touch us.

Then understand your service to Krsna and Prabhupada. Talk with them.

Then develop your team, friends. Then look at the institution. It may be good it may be bad. Accept it as it is and work to help it.

That was Prahlada attitude toward his father, institution.

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet !!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!!

Thank you very much for your reply to my previous letter...I am trying to understand what you told me...I am reading your answer time and time again..

The last paragraph you wrote :

"Seems to me the only thing we can really do is to pray to Krsna at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada very sincerely. If that doesn't work we seem to be lost."   I find this statement very meaningful..!!!

May I apply this statement for my daily chanting japa?  is this right ?

"Pray to Krishna at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada very sincerely"....this also refers at the time to chanting japa ?

I am thinking to take this thought as a very important instruction for all my life.....for the rest of my life...is this right ?

I have always been wondering how should I chant my rounds ?, what is the intention that I should have to chant, how my consciousness should be ?....because I am always wanting to "enjoy" my japa..." feel good "...and this conclusion that you gave me I think is very good for me...because I released all longing for the "result"......it makes me free to chant my rounds in a fruitive way...with attachment to the result.....but rather becomes a prayer...a prayer with humility....recognizing that I do not control "Krishna's mercy" and I am not the "enjoyer" of my japa.....do you understand me, Gurudeva?

Just pray to Krishna sincerely and humbly begging for His causeless mercy , and try to understand that I am not the cause of the result.....Now, I am trying to meditate in this statement that you gave me when I am chanting my rounds.....it is right ?

HpS - Seems right, but you can sincerely pray for many things in your service of Japa. You can chant in the mood of. "ayi Nanda tanuja kinkaram..."

SB is full of prayer moods!H

With regard to my service....the book distribution, since a time ago I am going every Sunday to Chosica Mandir and I am setting a small table with Srila Prabhupada books.

I am also trying to reception to new people who come to visit the temple, welcome to the visitors, I think this service is quite fit my nature because I like dealing with people and talk with them.

For some years I have a chronic problem in the joint of my leg and this prevents me from walking for a long time, I can not do sankirtan on buses as before, a lot of walking causes me pain, that is why I am trying to distribute some books on Sundays in Chosica Temple and as you say : if we are following the process right then Krishna sends sincere people to give them some books and talk a little bit about Krishna Consciousness !

Gurudeva, for the time being I say goodbye to you..

Please give me your blessings to perform my service and also to understand that I am just a fool and I just depend on your mercy to do something right.

Please forgive all my offenses !!!

Thank you very much for all your mercy !!!!!

Trying to be your disciple !!!

HpS - Great. So many people come and never have someone who becomes their friend not stays in contact with them. Your Chosica Sankirtan sounds nice. Find ways to do Sankirtan during the week. Join others.

yes gurudeva

I'm singing 16 rounds daily minimum and most of the time singing in the morning, thanks for your reply.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I hope this letter finds you very well and happy. I want to thank you for all the effort and sacrifice you make to free these souls of the fire of ignorance in which we are trapped. We are eternally indebted to you.

Please excuse me for not writing so often, I remember you always and try to have your transcendental association following your instructions, but I feel ashamed because I can not always comply 100%. Please forgive this flawed soul.

Despite the very confused and sad days, more than ever we stick to the process, for me have been very difficult because, other problems appears (family) but, still, we are trying hard to control the senses, the mind, struggling with tama-guna.

As  Gandharva dasa said, we are studying the Srimad Bhagavatam  I'm also reading at night Venu-gita, I'm delighted, it's so sweet and funny. I'm learning to sing and feel "He Gopinatha" of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. These are saving my life. Also, we are studying the TTC1 in Vaishnava School (Param Padam dasa) that has revived us a lot.

I want to ask your merciful instruction regarding the following situation: We had made many plans to stay in Chosica because, the air here it is more clean than Lima (you said we use poetry...) But lately the air is polluted. I would like to understand the current situation in the jatra of Lima and Chosica..Perú, philosophically speaking.  It is known that Krishna's plan is perfect, but I do not understand, I try to have a spiritual perspective of everything that is going on, but I do not know, we are neophytes, it hurts to see how things are so different from what Srila Prabhupada wrote.

I do not understand what attitude to take in this environment of devotional service, where it is so easy to be censured and criticized, just for doing service. We have seen very good devotees, with more than 20 years in ISKCON, very sadhaners, preachers have been removed and censored. So, please Gurudeva, I beg you blessed me with enough intelligence to see mercy, because in this situation, where exist an absurd paranoia, make service in a favorable way is very difficult and even dangerous.

Thank you very much for your time dear Gurudeva.

May Lord Nrisimha always protect you.

Trying to improve my sadhana, trying to serve

Hare krishna Dear Guru Maharaja.

I hope you are well, ... I'm reading regularly monkey warrior.

Gunagrahi Maharaj sent me this:

Best wishes, Prabhu. AGTSP

Thank you very much for sending me the message of his guru maharaja. I'm very

grateful for his words. I'll write soon.

Doing a review, every day, about topics difrentes and watching my habits that I want to leave ... bad words, criticize others, meddle, talk about politics, eating exes, talk about the opposite sex, on the other hand assistance to mangalartik, japa, class of Srimad Bhagavatam, Deity worship, study, reading. yoga, extra services

I have seen different cycles, and as I have refrained from bad habits and I have tried to keep the good habits, really I perceive something of kindness. Also patterns change for different tracks and I'm looking where I am choosing, still a lot of passion and ignorance, while I can see changes, in my mind, and this brings me confidence in You and Krishna, I have a cycle of 20 days, programs spiritual never leave, but the quality of my abosorcion moves.

And I try to abstain in bad time to talk about dastardly things, I have clearer habits of mind and I'm trying to stick more to Krishna, I realize that one is an obstacle in the service, while I'm not negative with myself, I am taking responsibility

I watched some videos of Carl G. Jung, identify me and I liked the topic of how to work the shadow, I did not see it in detail, but captures some observations

Continue with university studies., In the last exam, the professor of logic put me 10, I know this is mercy.

This morning we were invited to a class of journalism at the Catholic University, to present our religion, Buddhists also came, and we could see better how to present Krishna consciousness

Here in Buenos Aires there are 8 brahmacaris, everyone is doing book distribution in the streets, only I, the brahmacaris, I am serving Sri Sri Gaura Nitai.

Elllos They traveled all year, Rosario, Paraguay, Cordoba, Mendoza, after Govardan they travel to Bahia Blanca, and make marton December in Chile.

Thank Guru Maharaja for His mercy

to serve

Hare Krsna HpS - Thank you news. If Prabhupada personally came to you and asked you to lead his moment what would you do, think?

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a Su Sankirtana Eterno!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, aqui en Huancayo tenemos la visita trascendental de Maharaj Maha Vishnu y los Harinan Ruci, estaran tres dias acá en Huancayo, mucho nectar para purificarnos.

Guru Maharaj aqui le respondo a la pregunta que me hace:

HpS - Claro, mejorar su mismo! Peru achintya bheda abheda, para mejorar nuestra mismos, tenemos que associar con otrs: Krsna, Gopis, Gopas, Narottama Das Thakura, ISKCON pujaris, Sankirtaneros... Desarrolla su caracter pero en el mismo tiempo desarrollar su Iglesia, no?

Bueno Guru Maharaj, en lo personal quizás no pueda desarrollar un templo ó iglesia ó centro cultural, pienso que mejor es desarrollar el sankirtana "La distribución de libros de Srila Prabhupada"..asosiación con Sankirtaneros, pienso es mejor. Atender las Deidades que tenemos en un aspecto personal, pero más atender el Sankirtana....libros.

Por otro lado hace 2 meses perdimos comunicación con Prabhu Jagad Bandhu...

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido, que Nrisimha lo proteja.

Hare Krsna!!

Gadai Gauranga
