      Hare Krishna Maharaja, por favor acepte mis más humildes reverencias.Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

      Gracias por responder a mí carta, en la cual me pregunta cual son mis ocupaciones diarias. Le diré que tengo 56 años casi 57 pues los cumplo en el mes de abril, actualmente me dedico a cuidar un matrimonio de personas mayores él tiene 92 años y ella 82 y es ella la que más cuidados necesita, los atiendo todos los días de 10 a 16 h y

      luego por las tardes hago distintas actividades ,visito a mis familiares o amigos etc me suelo mantener bastante

      activa. Procuro hacer todas esas actividades teniendo conciencia de Krishna pero algunas veces me resulta muy

      complicado.

      Me pregunta por mis padres, ellos ya hacen años que han abandonado el cuerpo pero tengo una familia extensa

      tengo 3 hijas y 6 nietas, somos una familia de mujeres. Las niñas van creciendo pero nos hemos juntado con  

      todas casi iguales pues en 6 años han nacido las 6 una cada año y un año no nació ninguna pero otro año 

      nacieron mellizas,

      Mi vida desde que conocí la CDK es totalmente distinta, hay momentos que siento que avanzo y otros que voy

     retrocediendo pero llevo todo con alegria pues me siento mucho más feliz

     Me postro a sus pies 
HpS - ASA - Grrrrrrrracias.  Super carta. Claro, si estamos cantando buenas ronda temprano, entonces cualquiere cosa que realizamos va a ser en la conciencia de Krsna, y todos nuestros asociados va a experiementar esta concienca y puede rechazar o accepar. Mejorar su Japa. Lea el SB. CC. Ofrcer puja a sus Deidades. Mejorar sus rondas, ayuda el mundo y despues de dejar su cuerpo ....  la misma!!!

Confidential Cries

9 years, 1 month ago by hps in Personal Sadhana Reports

On another note I feel a need to confess a lot of things to you. I held back on all this information because I felt for many years that I could fix this problem myself without doing anymore damage telling others, especially devotees. I've done enough damage already, but who really is my trivial soul in this vast ocean, which itself is like an atom floating in another infinite ocean. I think this letter might be too much, or I'm being proud, but I can't think of a good way to trim it down.

I think 2011-2014 were some of the worst years of my lifetime so far. To be truly honest HpS Maharaj, I contemplated a lot of things, to come to grips on understanding what I wanted to do. I actually don't regret that abominable incident I told you of years back. I do not blame anyone else, if it was a trick of the witch Maya then I am grateful. It's simply a reminder of the fallenness of my position, even if I hadn't committed it.  I contemplated leaving ISKCON, attempted castration to become eunuch or to killing myself and forgetting Krsna again. After years of writing, depression and thinking about my qualifications, I told HDG Srila Prabhupada the last time I met him in my dreams: he encouraged me to become a good servant of Krsna, but I replied that I think it would be better to become a good servant of the devotees. He had a very grave pause, then replied "Yes, that is correct."

I can only say that I'm not the servant of Krsna, nor Radha or any of their associates. Not lord Gaurahari or Nitai or their associates. I find my only hopes and shelter in a place among aspiring to be a good servant of HDG's servants, servants, servants, servants, servants eternally. I rest on the shelter in serving vaishnavas. Overcome all material desires and find that eternal desire to love and serve devotees in my stone cold heart. No more than that. I'm sorry I do not even truly desire that aspiration enough. Material life weaves a comfortable illusion of immortality, forgetfulness and complacency in myself. If I died today, tommorow or however, whenever, I pray that I will not forget this desire, ever.

I'm sorry to confide in you this idiotic and brutal honesty/sentiment from my material mind. I just wanted you to understand where I'm coming from, in hopes I can truly desire to aspire to be your disciple and serve your servants, somehow, someday. I thought confessing this would help for me to increase my desire to serve, get to my steady 16-4, and to be fair that you should understand what I think if I want to aspire to your lotus feet. I respect you greatly. Anyhow I'm just an idiot, I wish I could've and could do more. That I didn't have a stone heart and could really be the servant I want to be. Thats what I hope I'm going to school for, trying to be a better student, finding skills to serve.

I apoligize again if I offend you Maharaja. I'm not looking for sympathy or praise, just straight talk.

I want to humbly ask that this not be published publicly.

Please accept my obeisances at your lotus feet,

all glories to Srila Prabhupada

your aspiring fallen servant,

HpS - Well, we can't do that. Pretty much whatever letters we get have to publish unless people ask us not to publish them BEFORE they reveal their secrets. But we will publish in a different section with no name, but you have a little hearty ness, a little sincerity, so work with that. Go on with your Karma, don't let it bother you to much. Be as much a servant of Krsna or the servants of Krsna in consciosness of their purity of relation with Krsna and where than finishes try to be a good person. Then you WILL MAKE PROGRESS and taste the happiness of satisfying Krsna.

Queria contarle tambien que he vuelto a recuperar mi estandar: 16 rondas y 4 principios ESTRICTOS!!!!! y seguimos mejorando o al menos es la intencion.

Lectura del Segundo Canto del SB capitulo 4 y CC Adilila, capitulo 5. Hermoso.

Quiero contarle tambien que la realcion con Agustin no esta bien, y tenemos que tomar una decision definitiva pronto.      Espero que Ud. se encuentre bien de salud. Krsna es muy misericordioso pero personalmente no tengo la vision para ver esto dia a dia. Me despido. Jahnava devi dasi, su sirvienta. Hare Krsna.

ASA - Que significa la palabra "enzima"?
Eso es el resultado de 16-rondas entusuastas y 4-priinncipios estrictas!!. Podemos ver como Krsna esta bailando en entonces bailar en ritmod con El.
Super gracias sus esfuerzas. Ayuda a otros quienes tambien locos, como nostros.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva,

Please accept my obeisances... All glories to Srila Prabhupada, please forgive my offenses and I hope do not make many mistake in my english. I wanted to write about many things that have changed a little lately...My mom and I have started Bhakti Sastri, maybe we thought that it was going to be more dificult, hope your blessings and  and blessings of Srila Prabhupada to finish it well. Our service in the temple for now is guirnaldas, mantra Yoga(kirtan) on Sundays and some Festivals(if Radha Madhana Bihari want)...If we can enter to the pujari would be great, but so far that s everything. We hope you feel better about your health. May Lord Nrsmha protect you as always... HARE KRSNA <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho.  Chosika is in Peru, Peru is in South America, South America is on the Earth, the Earth is a part of Bhu-mandala... Vaikuntha ...  Goloka!      You should realize you walking around in Goloka doing Krsna's business!     We hope that BhSastri is nothing but FUN and ENTHUSIASM...   Send more news as you finish different modules.

Thank you all!  Hope to see you in August.

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja

Please, accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada
By the mercy of NIMSAR devotees I'm back on service. Our differences persist, but we're choosing the proactive way to solve them and if some of them cannot be solved it's fine too. I had a conversation with them and now I realize my position, my perspective about things. This is a great program I won't waste my opportunity because of my bad temper. I'm learning. Sorry for bothering you with my pseudo radical attitude, and thank you for your patience. I'll be sending you pending work in the next days, Gurudeva. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Your servant
Gandharva dasa

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho.  Thank you for your austerity. Austerity of the mind is far greater than austerity of the body.    We still have to get Nimsar up to standard if it is going to be a Branch of ASA.

1) We have to have as list of the Members, Officers and what are the qualifications for each.

2) We have to be approved by the National Council.

We made this Amavasya, 19/Thursday a deadline for this so please send any information as soon as possible.

Utsahan!!! (NOI 3)

MADRID

Please, accept my humble obeisances, dandavats. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Sorry for not write you in all this time!! I hope that you are fine!! How was your trip¿? And your health?

Here in Madrid all is OK, my principal service now is the pujari (Jiva the cooker is teaching me how to dress), cooking and wash the pots of the breakfast.

Some months ago, we were doing bhajans in one of the most importants streets of Madrid (Fuencarral), the experience was amazing but the police don’t allow to do more bhajans in this place maybe in some months we can start again with the program. Dandava wants to develop some programs of this type, for example, now we are starting to go to some yoga centers to chant the holy names.

I continue with Bhakti Sastri and i want to start to be more profesional with the kitchen and create some courses of cooking in the temple.

One of the most important things that i discorvered some weeks ago is that if you aprreciate and love the  people your preach will be better and when the people know that the interest that you show for them is real and you dont look for any personal benefit they will take you more seriously.

Some days ago, i made a big mistake cause in a class i said some words that could do that some new people go out of Krishna Movement, fortunately they still continue with us. Jaramara teachs me that one of the most important things that  we must to do is to try that the new people that are coming to Hare Krishna feel atraction for this movement.

I’m trying to put all my faith in Harinama Sankirtan is the process for this yuga isn’t it¿?

   HpS - ASA - Yes, but that are many postions in the Sankirtan movement and we have to find which one as best for us.

Aindra Prabhu said that nama japa it’s like to take a tablet but nama sankirtan is like an injection… I  find a lot of inspiration in Aindra Prabhu, he has a lot of faith in the holy names. 16 RONDAS ENTUSIASTAS!!

HpS - Some people like Japa more than Sankirtan, some like Deity worship more than either one. 

Your servant Mantri Rama Das

HpS - You report is so nice. There is a letter for Dandava. let us answer it together.
