hare krishna - fighting with dragons

9 years, 1 month ago by Bhakta Jorge España in Personal Sadhana Reports

hare krishna Maharaj pamho agtsp.

We are here at the manor
singing hare krishna
They say it is the perfection of life; we do not understand very well what that means; but anyway we like to sing and dance and also take prasadam.

the (bhakti-sastri) ends on April 27; we'll be back in Barcelona on May 3.

I have tried to be a good citizen, also good friends here and good cookies too.

my mother visited me for a week, she attended all programs, help in the food for life and even sang japa…

it is wonderful Maybe she becomes a devotee and help me go back to God.

I curse the Lord to steal my heart.
I curse the words of my guru to be the goal of my life.
I curse devotees to be always in my association.
I curse the scriptures to be the filter through which I look at the world.

I bless illicit sex, gambling, meat-eating and intoxication, to disappear from my mind.

I pray for the favor of the Lord can be a curse that from the material point of view seems a misfortune as being poor, ugly or without any education; Or a blessing like beauty, fame and fortune; I do not care what it is, my only interest is your causeless mercy.

a greeting I hope you're well.

hare krishna

HpS - Hare Krsna. We are in the restaurant in the temple in Barcelona. Write more in the DTC in three minutes. It is very nice to hear you survived the Manor program. How many students in your class? To start to finish? Your poem was a little hard to follow logically but inspiring. We have to become Brahmans and then Goswami. When Goswami we feel Krsna driving our chariot. We can do more and more significant service. Were actually get eternally connected to ISKCON. We hope to hear of your next more. Norway, England...

all glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
all glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami
Hare Krishna Gurudeva, I am Trivikrama das, Chile
I am chanting 16 rounds and following four regulative principles
I hope the flu is gone and you better health
now I'm reading "the teachings of Queen Kunti"
It has helped me dont lose courage , facing the day to day
last week I had a traffic accident and I broke my hand
all in all I'm fine, I'm convinced that without Krsna in my life the accident would have been worse, next June fill up one years cooking for the deity, Saturday through, it was a nice experience, the service I do with my girlfriend Francisca she cut vegetables i and helps me clean all , it has given me pleasure to see as time goes enjoy increasingly my service, thanks to your inspiration we have continued in service for now is waiting that service, because I can not cook with one hand, with the cold broken hand has hurt a lot
but with krsna always all good
I apologize for my ingratitude and descordialidad
I will write regularly
Krsna always look after him and once again thanks for everything
your eternal servant
Das Trivikrama

ps.this photo is a offering made I really liked how it looked

HpS - AgtSP. Thank you for your letter. We are in Barcelona. Yes. Could be much worse, no? Will your hand heal? If not then you will have a different perspective on life. You are married? How is your family? Who are your friends? What are your goals? The offering is so, so, so beautiful.

Krsna-kirtana Dasa from Queretaro, Mexico

Hare Krsna! All Glories To Guru Parampara All Glories To Srila Prabhupada All Glories To Hanumatpresaka Swami Please accept my humble obeisanses Gurudeva, i extend my apologize for the absence of letters the past months, after i called you in december marathon there where a LOT of changes one after another, so i needed a little bit stability to structure my mind and heart in order to write. Sri Radha and i flew to peru in new year's day, her brother got diagnosis of 4th level cancer, so we thought we was going to say good bye to him (chant hare krsna, read Bhagavad-gita for him, feed him prasad etc.) wonderfully he recovered at least enought to keep with treatment, we will see next 4 months... i tried but never found the way to go to lima during your visit, still i got big remembrance of you due i was in cusco with some of my older God-brothers, i took A LOT of inspiration from them, about personal confidence and practice of Bhakti, but most of all, a lot of inspiration about Grhastha asram, Sri Radha and me had the chance to experience sankirtana with Gadai Gauranga & Nadiya, i beg so one day i can become fit to worship dvarka silas... also, learned about eagerness from Rohini kumara Dasa & yoga-mayi DD, but the ones that took my heart were Ananda Maya's prabhu Family, meeting them streghten my will to perform a service whithin ISKCON as a responsable Grhastha, we consulted an astrologer and told us the best date to marry was 19 th May, so we are preparing by now, a few more austeritys, accepting service for small-home, deities here in Queretaro, and also we will make 2 yajñas before that day, do you have any suggestion i could add at this? For now, we are back here at Queretaro city, taking more personal responsabilities, going sankirtan almost every day, at least a few hours, trying to improve each day our sadhana (sometimes we wake up but fall asleep after breakfast... or so.) and also trying to get deeper, heartfeeling relationships with the rest of the vaishnavas in general,still we make a special push with the ones that we appreciate. Personally, im inquirying from various sources, specially HDG why ISKCON is more like "small comunities gathered internationally" than an actual INTERNATIONAL - SOCIETY. trying to focus the obvious, a society has plenty of variety, still ISKCON has a lot of tabues about expanding service outside of temple structured thinking models. Again, thank you for your exemplary life, it constitute the very faith i have this movement is the beating heart of Srila Prabhupada, despite of some parts like me being materially ill, it can be fixed just by Sincere work and causless mercy. Your growing servant Krsna-kirtana Dasa HP swami - AgtSP. Paoho. We are on Barcelona. There are a lot of institutes outside of GBC ISKCON, no? E.g. Oxford Center for Hindu Studies. If we keep healthy contact with local GBC, they seem to accept these mature efforts. All of ISKCON's problems seem rather natural to us. We see progress is pioneering our own Sankirtan within the social and institutional life of ISKCON. Have friends, fight corruption. Support sane rules. Send pictures.

Guy Dear Swamiji, PAMHO, AGTSP. I hope that you will consider a trip to Bali for Govardhana Puja have your association, and I can send a ticket for you. I have been reading the small book titled :Lord Caitanya, his life and teachings. Reading about Mahaprabhu’s talks with Sarvabhaumya Battacarya has given me insight, especially after having lived in Indonesia for the past three years. I can see parralells between the Muslims and the Vedantist Mayavadis. I wonder if Krishna created Islam because those who are Muslims don’t have the intelligence to understand the absolute truth. On the whole, Islam seems to be a low class religion (for 5th class men?). I’m thinking of writing a guidebook for devotees visiting Bali from other countries. I want to write the historyof ISKcON in Bali, a comparison of Vaisnavism and Balinese Hinduism, and have a guide for the different Temples in Bali that willincludelocation, history of each temple, and guest facilities. Your servant, Ken HpS ASA - If Krsna wants we go to Bali. Now no plans after July 31st. Is Abhimanyu Das there? Book sounds great. We hear that, yes, Koran is like Tamasic purana. It is for people compelled by ignorance, but has the highest truths for those who want to go up, up, up! Your book sounds wonderful. Send us the Table of Contents! Oink.
