Mala ga!!!!!!!!

9 years, 6 months ago by bhaktajosemadrid in Personal Sadhana Reports

     Querido Guru Maharaja, Pamho, TlgaSP.

  Perdone por no escribir antes, asi como por mis ofensas a sus pies de loto. Mis mejores deseos para que tenga buena salud, y todo sea favorable para usted.

   Han pasado muchas cosas en este tiempo, esto es un pequeño resumen.

 Estuve con mi padre y mi hermano en Galicia 14 dias en septiembre.

 Seguimos luchando arduamente con la mente y los sentidos. Aun asi inexplicablemente seguimos sin practicar ningun tipo de sexo burdo, comiendo lo que kali yuga nos deja intentando que sea lo más licito posible, nada de intoxicantes, y no nos jugamos el dinero (tambien tratamos de no especular). La conclusion es que queremos seguir cantando 17 rondas minimo y tal vez asi poder abandonar este miserable mundo porque se hace muy austero vivir aqui.

  Seguimos en Malaga, viviendo en el templo. El principal problema que habia era que un devoto era demasiado hostil. Optamos por intentar practicar una tolerancia extrema, cuando aprendimos a vivir con esa mala energia, se volcio hostil tambien con las autoridades y ahora no vive en el templo; la energia a cambiado totalmente.

   Aprendiendo a no perturbarme por las cosas externas y estar más fijo en el servicio, y ser consciente de Krishna. A veces atacado por la lujuria, ira (más interna que externa) Es más la ira que enfocamos hacia mi que hacia los demás. En fin ya nada es lo mismo que antes. Seguimos mirando a las chicas pero tratando de verlas de otra manera mas espiritual. Gradualmente se va espiritualizando todo.

   A medida que pasa el tiempo me voy dando cuenta de lo agradecido que tengo que estar con Iskcon y con Hanumatpresaka swami. Y lo inepto que soy.

  Necesito mejor organización para leer mas regularmente. Ahora terminando el segundo canto.

  Nuestro servicio en el templo es Mangala arati; preparar el desayuno para Sus Señorias y los devotos mas ofrenda y arati; ofrenda del mediodia mas Arati del mediodia. El jueves vestimos a las Deidades Grandes, y el domingo limpieza de los baños de invitados. Un dia a la semana clase de SB canto segundo, copiamos una clase de SP, u otros para algun dia saber más o menos como dar una clase y poder decir a los demás una fuente de lo que se habla en clase. Hacemos las listas de la compra de bhoga y limpieza....intentamos no dejar la musica, leer, estudiar mientras hacemos mechas de ghee....mantener el asrama limpio....etc.  Hace tiempo estaba un poco perturbado, ahora somos menos devotos pero hay mejor ambiente. 

   Sobre las preguntas que me hizo en la última carta:

      Intentaré ir a India por un més más o menos; a partir de, finales de el año 2016. Si puede ser cuando este usted alli. Ya va siendo hora de ir, y no puedo esperar a purificarme del todo, cosa que puede llevar varias o muchas vidas.

     Pienso que en este mundo es imposible tener una relación de amistad, casado, etc de forma pura, creo que no tengo mejor amigo que Srila Prabhupada y Hanumatpresaka Swami, y aun asi no puedo corresponder adecuadamente debido a mi profundo condicionamiento. Ej: Hace poco estaba entablando amistad con un devoto de 60 años muy convencido de no casarse ni relacionarse con mujeres (brahmacari????) y se ha marchado fuera  del templo con una mujer de 45 años, esa aparente relación de amistad se a roto totalmente. Es muy dificil relacionarse con los devotos. Podemos dar y recibir regalos y prasadam, pero revelar la mente es para hacerlo con devotos maduros en la ciencia del Bhakti yoga.

   Tan sólo soy un aspirante,  tratando de hacer las cosas bien, siento cada vez más afecto por usted, lo cual me hace estar profundamente endeudado y pedir que Krishna le proteja y nos mantenga eternamente a su servicio. 

    Jharikhanda-gaura Das 

HpS - Jaya!    Su carta es fuerte, como reportaje de un soldado en la Battalla de Kurukestra. Aparece que esta pasando tiempo util para Krsna.   Entusiasmo es mas importante que la tolerancia - NOI 3, Utasaha x Dhairyat, siempre buscando mejor las situaciones primero, y segunda tolerando.  Y tercero, niscaya, cantando rondas, 4-principios, fijados.

Pienso es casi cierto Krsna va a bengidar muy bien a Vd. pronto. No buscamos cosas inependientamente. Lo que Krsna envia, acceptamos son entusiasmo: Family, amistad, riqueza etc.

PAMHO

Hare Krsna beloved Guru Maharaj

I really hope and pray to lord Nrisimha , that when you get this report, your health is better, at least that you are not suffering of too much pain. Inevitably, I think of my responsibility at trying to be your disciple in you feeling like this!!

I have to recognize that something I read in the blog got me a little crazy and insecure (not from you, a letter from another devotee) and left  me in a state of mind that have made super difficult for me to be able to openly communicate with you and send my reports as I should. And I humbly ask your apologies for my weakness.

This second half of the year has been very complex. From one side, my daughter Antonia (15) did have academic difficulties at school, which can be resumed as a consequence of her lack of interest in studying, and almost everything in gral. Being she in a complicated age, and loving each other, she questions me a lot (not in a good way…in a fly in the ear way!!!) and is pretty intense with me. So she demands me a lot of “patience work”. With her father we decided to eliminate distraction focus, as internet, that’s why we haven’t been connecting to japa joe. But, she saved the year, so connectivity will come back to our home.

On the other side, regarding my service , since july i`ve been in charge of the temple`s restaurant, cooking, attending people and administrating. We have a very nice project ahead to offer to our beloved Srila prabhupada. I`ve been also doing catering for film productions, distributing prasadam to 300, 200, 500, 150,…. people each time.

Paralel to this, i`ve been helping as a manager in the treasury department of ISKCON chile. This been sort of an ungrateful service. Spite of that and considering the sensitive I am, I decided that as long as whatever the authorities does or want to improve is inside the frame of what Srila Prabhupada stablish for  ISKCON temple`s administrations, im going to help with the service. 

While the execution of my service, I have been able to realize the difficulties I have to mold my character; I lack tolerance and humility and that turns me into a time bomb. I pray to Krsna for Him to help myself in rectifying my anarthas, as in my own way im absolutely incapable. 

Im chanting 16 rounds, following 4 rp and still.....feel so caught...

And maya….maya sometimes make me feel angry at Krsna, she makes me think “oh Krsna, if we already love each other, why do you spect much from me (this includes japa an 4p), why I have to make all this effort for going back to you….why don’t you just come for me??!!.

And for moments I wake up. And happily chant…and, as you said, I trust in that everything that Krsna does is good, and that things will happen in due time.

I have so much to thank to you GM, as you inspire me to go ahead with the process that SP stablishes for us, for going back home, back to godhead. Without your example and tremendous mercy upon this stupid being, I think that the bomb I am, would have already exploted.Thanks!

Hoping to count with your asociation soon..

Aspiring to serve you ,

HpS - AGTSP.  So, we see you soon. It sounds from our distance that you are trying to do too many things. Better to do less and do them in a little more depth, but that is advice from 3,000 miles away. That can be good and bad.

Get advice from a lot of people.

Your life seems to be very normal in many ways and  you seem to be handling it very well. If you just get up early and get your rounds done then everything else will go at the best possible rate: Family responsibility, Church work, Finances, Sankirtan, Learning Humility.  Seems that you are creating more work for going back to Goloka than Krsna requieres. Still, there is no oxygen en Goloka! So you have to learn how to live without air. Do you understand?     Then after that there are other attachments to give up.

INFORME ANUAL + URGENTE: Itenarary Spain

9 years, 6 months ago by jayanta in Personal Sadhana Reports, Calendar Development

Querido Gurudev: Pamho:. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

En estos momentos me encuentro en casa con Yadunandana Maharaja. Estamos pasando la Navidad juntos de manera informal y tranquila.

Un año mas nuestro informe es que seguimos manteniendo nuestro deseo de volvernos buenos devotos algún dia. Mientras tanto estamos en 16-4-3. No  estamos contentos con la calidad de la practica y esperamos mejorar poco a poco. La vida familiar con los niños es un gran sacrificio que lleva mucha dedicación. Estamos tratando de llevarlo todo adelante.

HpS - TlgaSP. Si, pero el resultado puede ser enorme, con la proxima Acharya con el resultado.

Espero que a usted le vaya bien con su servicio a Guru y Gouranga.

En cuanto a lo del viaje a España me gustaría confirmar algunas cosas. ¿A que hora llega su vuelo a Bruselas y en que aeropuerto? ¿A que hora parte de Bruselas para EEUU? Supongo que tendré que gestionar sus tikets de Bruselas -Madrid o Barcelona y viceversa. Cuando tenga toda la información empezaré a hacer las gestiones oportunas y hablare con Nimai Pandit para arreglar las fechas.

Sin mas y esperando se encuentre bien de salud se despide su sirviente

Jayanta das

HpS - ASA - POR FAVOR, entra en "POST ANNUAL DISCIPLE REPORT" y pone un duplicado de su reportaje encima, arriba, en esta carta alla. 

CALENDAR:  Jet Airways han cerrado sus viajes por Bussels y cambiado a Amsterdam. Entonces, llegamos a Amsterdam (AMS), 30 Mar, 8AM y salimos AMS to Newark, USA, (EWR), 12 Abril, 3.20PM.

Entonces, aparece el mejor es salir de AMS > MAD, como 11AM (<$150), pasar tiempo en Madrid, Madre Tierra, NVM, Barcelona, y salir de Barcelona a AMS (~$100).

Esta bien????    Claro, mas pronto podemos fijar los reservaciones, mas barrato.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP

PAMHO

I always hope U are fine, I always pray for your health ¡¡

I have already posted my annual report but , I could not put some things that I want to inform U also

Sadhana:

I woke [wake] up at 4:00 am

16 rounds Ok, nevertheless, I do not have a record of how many rounds I owe, so I made a vow today in Moksada Ekadasi to chant 20 rounds daily for 3 months ¡¡¡

HpS - Wow!   Super-bhaktin!

4 principles strictly

Everyday reading SB, I join FMP everyday, whenever I don’t is when I have to go and dress GN ¡¡,

I join Hawaii and BS classes

Also BV Godfather

Service:

Head pujari, but I do not have a fixed turn ¡¡ I try to organize more and talk to devotees in general and try to be more social, make a team spirit for GN and JBS so by serving the deities  … the devotees just by seeing them be inspired and do Sankirtan ¡¡¡, etc. One thing is that I do not see Them as my kids anymore , for me the concept of kids had [has] changed, I see Them as my Beloved Lordships and I guess I have more respect for Them. But whenever I see Nityananda’s face my heart just melt ¡¡

BS tutor

Communications for solaris, and the Symposium in June

Theraphy [therapy]:

My phychologist told me “ Claudia, Congratulations U are a [an]  ADULT now, in the past U were very comfortable running,, now you try to face your problems, do not just cry and you try to understand the situation, still we have to work a little more” ¡¡¡ She adviced me to do Yoga and this is helping me a lot, to focus

Job:

I am pretty happy because now I have the opportunity to work as an engineer. I made one practice in Cieneguilla with a biodigestor I felt so good, I do not have any pictures but I was working with the soil making compost ¡¡ jaja It was so funny the smell was not of roses, but being in contact with nature made me feel alive ¡¡¡ happy ¡¡¡

HpS - Jayaaaaaaaaaaa!  You can do the same in Goloka with M. Yasoda.

Thinking to move to the country in the future….

Seva: When I moved to Mar del Plata I left my deities JBS and Radha Krsna with Patraka then when I returned I realized that They were happier with him, so They are with him (JBS)

When Ptrk was in chile Kamalangi ¡¡ Arjuna’s wife, when She saw my Radhe Bankee Bihari she wanted Them ,and asked me to take care of Them, she helped me a lot ¡¡ so I say yes..

So now I serve JBS that U gave me, GN, Laksmi Nrsmha and Radhika is looking for Her Krsna¡¡¡    Madhumati dd went to India so she is delivering me one Krsna for my Sri Radhika ¡¡¡    In Mar del HH BSG told us that Radharani should not be alone even if she was with the flute, plus many devotees told me that, and when I asked U You told me that I had already one RK and that it was not necessary but now I do not have Them  anymore ¡¡¡ so now if Krsna wants He is coming before Your visit, so I want to present Them to U.    Radha carana dd painted Him and choose Him for me ¡¡ I am so grateful with her.

My mother is going to have her surgery on Nityananda Trayodasi, it is kind of interesting, when my sister had a surgery it was also on the appearance day of my Beloved Nityananda ¡¡¡

HpS - !

In attached is a picture of us and Dr Ormeño, he is one of my father's best friends, he is helping us with my mom's surgery he is a extremely nice person ¡¡¡ JAYA.

In General my Godbrothers and sisters are amazing they help , support and put up with me a lot. Thank U so much for iur support and patience

Well that’s it Gurudeva

Looking forward to see U

Trying to be iur disciple

CMDD

HpS - Sounds good. Seems that maybe you can focus on going directly to Krsna, quickly, no detour to husband, kids, society, grandkids, nephews...!
