Hare Krsna Beloved and respected Gurudeva

AGTSP

PAMHO

I hope this meets You in really good health ¡¡

HpS - ASA -- We do pranayama rather continuously now, to profundicize our prana!

As I told U, this is my report on the second ekadasi of the month ¡¡

I am like sabotaging myself.   I took a job that forces me to do things that I did not do before like cleaning floor, windows,accommodate things taking orders in order to be humble, tolerant, I also have more opportunity to interact with people. I had to quit this temp job due to I had to catch up on in order to study for the BV exam. I almost covered everything the thing is that I focused more on answering the questions and I just read the translations not the purports soooo I am reading again, because I realized that still I am not taking the SB in my heart I have a lot to heal....

I am taking psychoterapy, my pyschology is a christian devotee he respects our beliefs and also tell me that taking shelter in God is the best I can do, but also give love love love to others to everybody... as i remembered H H Bhakti Thirta Swami said once.. "All the problems that we have, all are just for lacking of love" I realized that even if my parents gave me too much love they always keep me in one secure place and do not allow me to grow so I am an spoiled child... I have to heal that and many many other things...

I am reading right now six canto part 2...Indra¡¡ I feel very identify with him due to he is bewildered with pride, lust and he is always in problems because of that BUT due to Lord's mercy he always return to the right path. First I guess is to be honest with oneself realize how low we are, sometimes we are too bewilder that we do not understand all the hell and trash we are creating I may say excrement that is my case I am creating or created.. hurting others etc, I feel so embarrased for that, so I want to ask for forgiveness, my mom used to say what others can do with your sorry.? I am sorry the damage is done?? buuu ...those words discouraged me, but I guess one thing that I can DO is to pray for the person or people I hurt, because is not me who may help them is Krsna ¡¡ with my austerities for them or my prayers who actually help them.. am i right?? 

HpS - ASA -  Generally, Sraddha sabde, visvas kahe (in NOI)...  just by doing regular service we adjust all of our stupid offenses to others. Maybe you were Indra in your previous life. Now you have chance to participate in Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON!!!!      Esoteric         Have Spiritual Brothers.  Get married to Krsna.    Give Him love. He is very jealous lover.

-[;o)/\___

On this canto I read this staatement: ATMAVAT SARVA BHUTESU: One should feel happiness and distress of others as his own ¡¡¡ JAYA I hope to reach this state one day ¡¡¡

I am in contact with devotees like Patraka, palika, Madhumati dd, yugala, Madhumanjari (skype) , kamalangi from chile ..., lad, abhirama... actually we had a very nice meeting with abhiram last sunday I will help sattva also in august, tomorrow asa sanga meeting in chosica (coordinating your arrival) and finally meeting again Radha Madana Bihari.. I do not have any fixed service yet in any temple I want to read more, heal more and then go and ask for one service what I can do Gurudeva?? Oh I almost forget 16/4 are ok¡¡¡¡

HpS - What is needed!

I talked with my ex coordinator in UAP she told me that yes I may return to teach but it is not already fixed ¡¡ Let's see what Krsna wants...

HpS - Engrish teechr!

See u in FMP and FEP ¡¡ I got all your messages on twitter ¡¡¡

Thanks Gurudeva

HpS - See you this evening!

Dear Swamiji, PAMHO, AGTSP. If Ramal Swami asks me to and you approve I will do it. In the mean time I finished the ISKCON Disciples course and the Teacher Training Course 1 this week. Aghastya Muni, the temple president will give me the initiation test and reccomend me. Would you consider giving me first and second at th same time so I can be able to go start a temple? I also expect to start teaching the bhakti shastri course in July or August. I guess Krishna is putting me to work. Your servant, Ken

HpS - AGTSP!  paoho.  Let's go a little slow (little). First initiation, then some regular Bhakti life, then BhSastri diploma of some sorts, then...    2nd, 3rd...  Initiation.    A photo of your miserable self. What happened to you Bio-logical Mom? Our bio-logical parents both went to their rewards some time ago, but we are sure that our little effort for ISKCON is helping them ENORMOUSLY!!!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Goura y Gouranga Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupad Gurudeva por favor acepte mis reverencias a sus pies de loto

ASA - AGTSP.  Pies de lobo.

... MAHARAJA GRACIAS ,SIEMPRE SUS PALABRAS ME DEVUELVEN AL CAMINO ,NO SOY EL CUERPO y DEFINITIVAMENTE ESTE CUERPO NO ES MI HOGAR,GRACIAS GURUDEVA JAI JAI JAI JAI PORQUE SOY UN ALMA ESPIRITUAL ,PORQUE SIEMPRE VOY A EXISTIR,PORQUE CAMBIARE DE CUERPO A UNO MEJOR PARA PODER SERVIR MEJOR A KRISHNA,

JAI PORQUE CONOSCO LA CONCIENCIA DE KRISHNA, JAI PORQUE VIVO EN UN TEMPLO ,JAI GURUDEVA PORQUE USTED SIEMPRE SABE CENTRAR MI MENTE CON PALABRAS TAN SIMPLES Y FACILES DE ENTENDER ,USTED SABE MI ENTENDIMIENTO NO ES TANTO AL SER MUJER TENGO MUCHAS LIMITACIONES,

ASA - SB 1.8.20 "Women in general are unable to speculate like philosophers, but they are blessed by the Lord because they believe at once in the superiority and almightiness of the Lord, and thus they offer obeisances without reservation."   Claro Vd no es una "mujer general", ni tampoco. Devoto en ISKCON.

ADELANTE CON LAS 24 RONDAS,LOS 4 PRINCIPIOS,levantarse 4:00 am cumplir con el programa en casa y prasadam . Gracias nuevamente GURUDEVA por todo lo que yo siento que hace por mi,alguien que espera poder servirlo y desea ser su sirviente. Amparo Hernandez

ASA - 1st initiation, 2nd initiation, 3rd initiation . . . . .      Bailando por Krsna.

Hare Krishna  Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - Thank you!   AGTSP!    Has she read Thomas Akampis, "Imitation of Christ"? It is biggest selling Christian book after the Bible. Is nice. Is hundreds of years old.  You could read it together.

I will look for the book and order it , i google it and i looked really old so i would buy so i can read it with her.

HpS - Pantheism. Chapter 10 Bhagavad gita and Canto Two, Chapter One for him, no?

Neither the hosts of demigods nor the great sages know My origin, for, in every respect, I am the source of the demigods and the sages.

chapter 10 verse 2 right ? i will talk to my dad about that verse but i know that he will just listento me just to be polite.

HpS - No, more the verses that give exact examples, "Among fish I am the shark". Also you can see the panthestic ideas of Prabhupada in the purports and present those to him as you ideas etc.
 

ASA - Prasadam milk for the cats, no? Keep a little register of your Japa for one week and then send it for us to read!!!

thanks for recomendations maharaja i will surely give them prasadam milk is yogurt prasadam better ? 

HpS - As long as it is Prasadam. You can even smear burfi on their paws and they will be forced to lick it off!!
I will do a register of my Japa Weekly okie, thank you maharaja

Pd: Where are you right now , how is your health ? 

Haribol

HpS - We are in Newark, California. Part of the San Francisco area. Health is O.K. for a 67 year old ass. Next Boise.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva!<img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Please, accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope this letter finds you well. We don't have internet at home, I miss read your blog more often <img alt="sad" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png" title="sad" width="23" />. We are excited about your next visit and everything  that  being organized. I want to thank you for all the blessings that we are receiving, there is a lot of service to do and daily I ask Srila Prabhupada for enough intelligence to balance the service and  home duties in the best way possible. We are almost for two months in Chosica. The atmosphere here is very peaceful and friendly, living near Radha Madhana Bihari and the devotees is so good that it seems otherworldly.

Seva, study and realizations: Many good things have happened ,Gurudeva. I'm taking the worship course with Gaura Gadadhara mataji, she is very good and inspires us a lot, she is teaching us about brahminical culture, which I like more and more. In addition, recently I finished the Guru-disciple course with Param Padam Prabhu and it has been very good, with many very interesting topics.  I learned more about the position of Srila Prabhupada as maximum siksa guru of ISKCON and I have also learned more about the responsibility that involves receiving initiation, I feel more aware of the line of disciplic succession, so I feel an immense gratitude for all the previous acaryas, Srila Prabhupada and you. Receive initiation and all that involve,  is really the maximum mercy that Krishna can give us through His pure devotee,  it's also a great responsibility and I really do not find big words to show you my eternal gratitude for giving protection to this flea, who is trying to serve you. I know I'm not qualified, but  by the causeless mercy of Krishna, I have a lot of enthusiasm for it. All educational projects that develop inspire me greatly, to the point that I want to pursue a career in the university  that allows me to serve you properly with what is going on here in Perú, Gurudeva. The school project inspires me a lot, Prabhu Gandharva is also excited.

On the prospect of being parents, we have discussed and we conclude that this responsibility would involve a lot of energy, time and laksmi, issues currently not spare us but is ok for two of us. I have 30 and he is 47,  thought we could invest that energy in educational projects. We are not going to have children and this idea is giving us much more determination for our service. Prabhu Gandharva agree and give me all his support so that I suddenly can start a career and simultaneously start the Bhakti Sastri, but first I need to know what you think about this?, I would like to have your guidance and blessings before I start go on with this initiatives.

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP!     paoho.    Looking at your situation through electric cables, three thousand miles away, I would advise that you wait for the Bhakti-sastri until you get first initiation. O.K?  You can do other reading and studying, KRSNA book with other devotees, Caitanya-caritamrta.  Informal.

Career?? It is mostly the teachers that you will have and not the subject, no?  Find good teachers, but some careers we see that might be good would be journalism, history, law, education, communication, publication, social work, psychology. Even try a wide range to start. Hotel/Restaurant - Tourism.

Sadhana, readings: I'm trying to improve my sadhana beginning at 3:45 a.m so i can finish my 16 rounds before 7:30 am, That is the goal, for now I'm doing it at least 4 times a week. We regularly attend mangalaratik and sing for Sri Sri Radha Madhana Bihari. On my readings, before the Bhagavatam, I thought it was good to finish the books I have not finished before, so I'm in Chapter 60 of the Krishna Book (so far I can not believe i have in my hands a book that talks about the Supreme Personality of Godhead hobbies!) and then the teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, where I stayed in half.

HpS - Very nice. The amazing thing is that each time your read the KRSNA book it becomes more intense and you would swear that there are things in it that were not there the last time you read it. Probably Lord Caitanya hears Srila Prabhupada's Krsna book daily, no????

Questions: There are issues that I cannot understand. On one hand always Srila Prabhupada explains the omnipresence of Krishna within His 3 energies, what puzzles me is His personal form. I assume, that He knows everything, just as I assume that Lord Baladeva and His expansions are equally aware of everything, but there are some pastimes in the Krishna Book where it seems not always is like this, for example, during the Govardhan Hill pastime, Krishna blushes as He thought that Lord Baladeva discovered Him observing the chest of the gopis, however Baladeva was smiling at the frightened faces of the gopas. How does the absolute Krishna consciousness  works? and how He seems to have a limited consciousness sometimes? As happens in this pastime, he does not know what goes on in the mind of one of His expansions as Sri Baladeva?

HpS - Ahhh!  Very intesting.  I would say from what we have learned that our modern industrialized culture is very much Jnana oriented. The Britannica also supports this. We believe that knowledge and logical ability is supreme, that is how to understand and control matter and even organize communities and personal relations. Our view, the Vedica view, is that people come first.

Radharani refuses to know,
   Radharani refuses to grow.

         She 'knows' what She needs to know to enhance Her service.   If you were God and were all powerful would you want to 'KnoW'  everything???  Of course, not.  How much fun is it to know what all the wrapped packages are at your birthday party!??  Stupid. Of course, you don't want to know.  So Krsna is not primarily omni-scient.  He is primarily all-blissfull.  (sat)-cit-ANANDA.
O.K?  He knows what he needs to know. His other expansions take care of the details.

Thank you very much for you time, mercy and patience Gurudeva.

I say goodbye respectfully 

May Lord Nrisimhadeva always take care of you.<img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />
