Letters to the editor

Querido Gurudev:  Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero se encuentre bien de salud cuando reciba este mensaje.

Me alegra saber que vendra pronto a Madrid y lamento que vaya a estar tan poco tiempo.  Parece que el fin de semana no estará en Madrid o NVrajamandala que son los lugares donde podriamos visitarle, ya que el sabado y domingo no se trabaja. De todas formas intentaremos ir alguna tarde al Templo para oir sus clases y ver como se encuentra.

Por lo demas: 3-4-16 sabiendo que hay que mejorar la calidad y tratando de estar siempre alerta para diferenciar las propuestas de Krisna de los trucos de maya.

Deseando poder verlo pronto se despide

su sirviente (aspirante)

Jayanta das

HpS -   Una visita a Espana si ver Jayanta Das es como una dia sin sol!     Ya estamos en Espana fin de semana.    Podemos postar una sugerencia de calendario aqui en el Blog despues de todo.

Hare Krishna Gurudev!  ^-^ AGTSP PAMO

Chanting  a bit more and being more happy.Reading teachings of lord caitanya.

Having some realizations:

After 5 days of  movie-like rain, sun rose ( in my heart too) but not fully/enough yet, need to construir moreKC samskaras ... I Feel my faith is developing more and more ,thank Govinda, and this mantra is so Powerful that I can't handle it, but it rocks everytime.
While was doing a night japa walk ysterdy Realized how I want to be the enjoyer most of the time, but at the end I'm spiritually the enjoyed and can't change it, that was like a trigger clicking in my mind...

Feeling pleased with KRishna and his devotees, we have a good connection and a nice ashrama here at sydney, these young guys are so fired up and inspiring also.
living w the world 2nd book distributor. 
Krishna showing opportunitties to preach.
 

Waking up a bit earlier these days, so they are a bit more successful+peaceful. Heard that authorities will check everyone;s sadhana(those who are not orange) which is good though.

Getting ready 4 my piano auditions next friday to see if they accept me as a music student so i can start studying :)

Wondering about initiation, few people asked me whether I'm or not initiated which leads one to desire/think/imagine how that feels, i guess it must be very wonderful.

My friend the world 2nd book distributor getting initiated on th 3rd next month, I'm so happy 4 him such a mahatma !

I pray to Prabhupada for always remembering Krishna never forget him, in the same way I beg 4 your blessings Maharaja to always remember + glorify you and Krishna with love and with more tongues + ears if possible, so I can remain always absorbed and ecstatic . 
Sorry for my Spiritual mistakes and my Informality.

Hare Krishna

HpS - ASA -  Oink!   Whoop!  Whoop!              You are doin' juss fine!        First get the big rocks in the jar. Then you can pour in fine sand to fill it more.   Then you can add water to fill it even more.   It is like music, no?    Get your basic Vaidhi bhakti fixed. Then add more and more details and then ....    comes Raganuga!! . . . .    See you soon.

Hare Krsna Maharaj,
Pamho, Agtsp

Hello to UG, TB and  BW

ASA -  E=M*C*C, Whoop! Whoop!,  Oink!   Oink!

We hope you all are progressing in Lord Chaitanya Sankirtana.

We deliberatlely did not write to you {HpS and ASA associates] as most our issues are related to dark well and perennial challenges related to it.  there was no relevant news of sankirtana. we are working on it. we are trying to chant 16 rounds daily, morning prayers, reading, 4 rounds and house holder duties in balance way (krsna is helping us a lot)

we are reporting this to  Professor Huber Robinson as there is no better person than him in matter of psychology.
Professor , we went pillbuster and clinical pscychologist  {CP} regarding our anger and controlling problem.

they have diagnosed us  Obsessive complusion disorder [OCD] and problem due to emotion injuries. (on the basis of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory ® -2 (MMPI ® -2))

ASA - Wow!     When I took a test like that I would feel very proud: Look, I am crazy! I need special attention. (Of course, some of this stuff is actually true and helpful (but also sometimes devotees can surpass all this easily, no?))

they say our sub-conscious is craving for affection (inference from Online  Rorschach  Test http://theinkblot.com/ ). Harsh says his conscious mind says he does not need affection. CP says thats the struggle b/w sub conscious and conscious mind.

HpS - Jung, Prabhupada, both say that your sub-conscious mind is very accessible during Brahma muhurta and you can make it more conscious. Sounds like a good analysis, but I would confirm it by our Yoga of B-muhurta, Japa.

due  [OCD]  to we got finicky about things.

we are going to continue treatment optimize the problme of OCD and emotional injuries
_-----------------------------------------------------

we also met a nice devotee [vrindavan das [email protected] ) who works on temperament identification (on basis of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_temperaments)  since  september. he also identified our temperament (based on observation not any test) as majorily as Melancholy perfectionist (64%) , Powerful choleric (26%) and peaceful Phlegmatic(10%).

we applied this perfectionist and powerful temperament in our married life. and have crushed emotions of our wife who is having different temparament ratios.

he asked us to relax our standards, increase our indulgence in sense gratification ( resorts, food, sex etc) to satisfy/ heal our relationship with wife.

because his finding is that Harsh is not peaceful when there is unrest in home.

HpS - God!  Illicit sex!!???       That's only, always, going to increase the hell.   Of course, SB 1.11.31-32, type Grhasta "sex" is O.K. Nice.  Buy your wife candy or flowers, no?   Prabhupada says that embracing between husband and wife is natural. But illict sex only makes everyone feel dirty and cheated afterwords.   We don't have a sub-conscious desire to become meat, fish or eggs. We have a sub-conscious desire to become immortal energy angels!
_____________________________________

practically we see we are tied up in battle between cognition v/s affect. should be v/s want to be.
_____________________

our only hope is NOI preface
""In all spiritual affairs, one’s first duty is to control his mind and senses. Unless one controls his mind and senses, one cannot make any advancement in spiritual life. Everyone within this material world is engrossed in the modes of passion and ignorance. One must promote himself to the platform of goodness, sattva-guṇa, by following the instructions of Rūpa Gosvāmī, and then everything concerning how to make further progress will be revealed.""

till we reach sattva guna we would be needing your help a lot esp in matter of satisfying the SPOG.

regards,

Harsh born in In India with 

human body  & ( monkey and horse mind)

HpS - My experience is that it always helps to chant Hare Krsna right in the middle of the strange problems. Then Krsna can give a little good intelligence and we can move up.
One VERY good psychological survey showed that Hare Krsna males are 100 times more likely to be Compulsive personalities that normal people. Do you fold your shirts and sort them into different categories?

We do.

But we want pharmacists, doctors others to be compulsive personalities. O.K. Is not a bad trait. Just have to purify it. Learn when to relax. We still have to struggle with this at 67 years old. Ha!  Ha!   Ha!    Expect rapid progress but be patient that if this is a deep root it may take even more than one life to extract it.   ....  but....   the effort is eternal!

In general, sounds great you psycho-therapy if you just keep a perspective of Srila Prabhupada's lessons. See you in a few days.

pamho AGtSP

ahora andamos en el norte de chile en las universidades de Viña del mar

me paso algo, un nectar.  GM Sankirtan hace q reamente crea en este proceso, cosas magicas pasan a cada seguno es como si lo que leo en el SB se materializa en las calles,

estaba caminando dejandome llevar como titere en sus manos, GM,

HpS - Pienso yo tambien estoy un titere en los manos de Srila Prabhupada y pienso Vds es mejor titere que mi!

y en una voltie por una calle y no habia nadaaa, sin envargo sentia en mi corazon q debia seguir caminando, ya estaba llegando al final y no pasaba nada asi q me pensaba devolver, pero justo cuando di la vuelta..... una joven me pregunto de que son los libros, justo lo q buscabas!!!! le dije y seguido a eso una sonriza de fierro!!!!<img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />.

ella se empezo a reir y luego cuando vio los libros se puso muy serio y se agarro la boca con la mano, no lo puedo creer!!! me dijo, que paso le pregunte!

acabo de venir de la libreria y estaba buscando estos libros pero solo encontre basuraaaaa, pero tu me has dicho q era lo q buscaba y me los entregaste!! me viste en la libreria? me pregunto, tenia la piel como de gallina y a mi se me puso igual, yo le dije q no la habia visto pero hay una energia suprema q todo lo ve ( para mi es Ud GM!) ella se llevo todos los libros y me dio mas de lo normal!!! luego fui a la libreria y les ofreci los libros, y me compraron algunos mas!!

sankirtan es el Sumun bonus de la educacion Vaisnava GM!! o no?

HpS - "... vidya vadu jivanam .... param vijayate sri krsna sankirtanam..."

. . . en su carta anterior me pregunto q va a pasar con mi futuro, mi respuesta es LO Q UD QUIERA GM!!! por ahora espero seguir en la calle despues de aqui vamos a panama a colectar para el SR Jagannath (nos invitaron al festival) y uego quiero ir a Huston al simposio de educacion  que hace mi heroe Hanumatpresaka Swami, quiza luego a la india o la tumba no lo se!

HpS - Nuestra GRAN amigo. Hari-lila Das (68 anos), Indu, y su familia y unos otros van al Rathayatra de Panama. Es Houston.  Lalita-gopi y Saranagati de Mexico va a el Simposium de education en Houston. Manana comprara boleto como 3-10 Agosto en Mexico.

Sankirtan!

GM es q hace algunos dias soñe con Ud! y ud estaba con muchas personas y de repente pidio q a todos que salieran y me dijo: TIENE UNA PREGUNTA  POR HACERME?, como siempre siempre que estoy junto a ud me paralice y no le pregunte nada asi q ud sonrio y me dijo sigue sonrriendo, y salio de la habitacion............ pero en relidad si le queria hacer una pregunta pero me parecio muy loca para hacersela personalmente en el sueño, pero se la quiero hacer igual, mi pregunta era como puedo asociarme con vaisnavas como Narada Muni o el Sr Siva en esta vida (Narada Muni es un nectar como mi heroe!) (se que uds tienen contacto con ellos pero es solo para devotos puros?) Jayapataka Swami el año pasado en un parikema dijo q en un arbol esta el Sr Siva y pregunto: quien puede verlo hay esta? ..................<img alt="surprise" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png" title="surprise" width="23" /><img alt="surprise" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png" title="surprise" width="23" /><img alt="surprise" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png" title="surprise" width="23" />

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji's padmacharan that I could not understand the 

" One man is in Manipur and that is all he sees. Another man is in Manipur and he sees it in terms of very practical relationship with India, Earth, Brahmanda!"

Please instruct us the minimum requirements of a beisnava and daily duties for all of us. We the initiated bhaktas a group is doing weekly programe of Satsanga-namasankirtana, Krsna Katha and day to day discussion of a particular topics. All our programe are started after Guru Bandana. Please aasirbad us from the  distance so as to enable us to continue regularly and more better performance and to increase our spiritual knowledge.

<img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif" />HpS - ASA - Jaya!   AGTSP paoho.      We were so busy in Houston Temple for one week. They are starting a Pre-school and Primary school. We helped with that. We gave four Bhakti-vaibhava classes (Canto One - Six Diploma) and several Temple and outside preaching programs. We have changed our ticket. Now we arrive in India on Monday, 4th May, Delhi.

Look at posting here in the Blog for India Calendar.

Priorities are:

1. Chant Hare Krsna as much as you can. At least 16 enthusiastic rounds on beads.

2. Follow four principles strictly.

3. Brahma-muhurta, Mangala-arati, Kirtan, Srimad Bhagavatam

4. Evening Arati, Kirtan, Reading (with others).

5. Help Lord Caitanya in His Sankirtan movement by preaching, distribution of books, giving donations, cleaning temple, dressing deity, distribution of prasadam .....

Hare Krsna!
Who else is there with you in Thoubal?

Thank you.

We won't be able to answer letters from 3rd-27th of May. We will put the details in the Kapi Dhavja.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and U   ____'0_ 

pamho

Here we are! Alive!  

KAPI DHVAJA IS TRANSLATED AND POSTED!!!

We finished our 6th cicle at university and now VACATIONS!!! at least until new cicle opens so we have to wait. In the meantime we are going to travel.

However our true mission remains; 16R,4P,MA with enthusiasm, patience and intelligence. Be useful  in some way in your Sankirtan dear Gurudeva.

regarding your questions...

HpS - How is your family? What are they doing? How is the Yatra? Are you doing Pujari work? What do you learn of practical value in school? Any nice people at school? How are you kidneys...

Family is ok. My dad is 88 years old, so he is very weak now. Mom is taking care of him. they basically are at home... My mom got crazy by reading Teachings of Queen Kuntī, she felt so identified with some prayers.

Unfortunately now i have no direct service in temple but i hope back to do some service in pujari. 

As you told me before we can always learn from others, for example something i like is that at school i learn from a lot of strategies to teach. All my classmates are very nice... They dont call me as my civil name but as Patrak das, they are teachers from diferent schools and methodologies so i learn a lot. I have one friend who teaches in Waldorf schools, i love that kind of teaching.

Kidneys are very very well. But i still have to take a lot of pills. it doesnt matter if i can get up and chant my rounds and read Srimad Bhagavatam... Its so excited!

Thanks a lot for being such an inspiration for me.

yours in service

Patraka Das

HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP    paoho.  Thank you for your news!      It is all very inspiring for us.     Are you developing internally?   Then it will begin to show, shine, externally as it gets stronger. If Krsna wants you can be a great leader for many people, by example, preaching, writing, singing, teaching.

Please send us a Krsna Conscious review of some of the preaching strategies.
