HpS/ASA - Super! SUPER! S U P E R ! suppppper. so sorry slow to respond to these reports. we are old and our donkey is lame, but seems we are still moving.

Sankirtan reports to this Blog etc. are so nice.

So many people are getting eternal benefit from your service with Srila Prabhupada. Maybe even something you do will stop the war in Ukraine.

My dream revealing myself

1 month, 2 weeks ago by Nadiya Nivasi Dasi in Personal Sadhana Reports

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to eternal sankirtana. Please accept my most sincere obeisances at your feet. Beloved Gurudeva, very soon I will be reunited with my family, I have many business projects and those of my family, my father wants to go to India, since he met ISKCON he always tries to be a devotee with a regular standard.


My only brother has a good character and my relationship with him is good,

my mother really likes Narashinja,

but her character is sometimes also strong 😬

my family respects ISKCON and understands spiritual life,

my aunt Angela, my father's sister, is also a devotee who gets up early and chants some rounds,

in reality my family gives me a lot of tranquility and joy and refuge, I feel happy.


Today I had a dream with you [ASA 🙂 in English we would say "of you"] that told me not to hide anything from me, how are you? you asked me. And now I want to answer you; Life is oscillating full of experiences, I can say that I am beginning to understand and take the bad things that happen to me in the best way and as a purification to one day return home with the hope that Srila Prabhupada and you will take me by the hand.


HpS//ASA 🐵 😢 😢 😢 We hope Srila Prabhupada continues to do the same for all of us!!!


The path is long for the mind, but the reality is that the life of a human being is short, and I try to see the good and the bad as an episode that will pass and that in the end it will end and only the most important will remain Krsna and Guru.


So I don't know if my material life as so important, to inform you gurudeva.

I can only tell you that I am chanting 16 rounds, 4 principles, ekadasis, 3 gayatris, and associating with some devotees,

my life is always surrounded by devotees, and I know that this is important for my spiritual life,

and that is why I try to correct and do an introspection of my mistakes. And accepting my karma in the best way.


I would like to ask you a question.

When I was in Vrindavan for a few days, I want to confess that I didn't chant 16 rounds. I know it's not correct. My question is, many of the Vrajavasis don't chant 16 rounds. How do you explain this? I mean, how can I understand this? Are they on a different spiritual platform, Raganuga bhakti? Excuse me for asking, dear Gurudeva. Please, I would like to go into more depth about this. Thank you very much,

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.

Hare Krishna.


HpS - As far as I understand if you are born in Braja, it is at the most your last life in the material world.

Maybe you have even come from spiritual Vrndavana just to help KRSNA here and have no material connection, or as above, maybe you are taking one more birth in the material world to get direct connection with Nitya siddha Braja vasis to finish off the details before youi go back to Goloka, back to work!


I have had a few experiences with those born in Braja, and just naturally in their thoughts and conversations they say the Names of Radha and Krsna, Lala and Lali, 1728 times, 16-rounds, a day.


Some are Brahmins, some are gang leaders, but they all have a personal relations with KRSNA like he was someone who just lives around the corner!!


In most of our cases in ISKCON, we need to do some Vaidhi bhakti, follow rules and regulations or else we will probably become contaminated with some Sahajjiya consciousness.

O.K.?


Even internally on Raganuaga we usually see the devotee acts like a Vaidhi Bhakta, following rules and regulations, externally.

HK Maharaj!

PAMHO AGTSP!!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!!


HK Maharaj!! How are you??


HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Dead and Alive!


Well I know you asked me to write to you in some weeks,

so this is a really brief letter.


Well we’ve been speaking for several year now like 4 or 5, and we met like 20 years ago, I follow your advice regularly, been following the regulative principles now again for some time, and been chanting my rounds regularly really early in the morning, so I would like to ask you for spiritual shelter.


HpS - That is the "dead" part as ISKCON diksa guru. We had to give up initiating people because of our old age, yet we recommend people like H. G. Radha-krsna Das here in Houston to do the job and H. H. Yadu nandana Swami in Spain.

Certainly other reasonable competent people to handle the formality and the personal work with practical perspective!

As Siksa guru, I guess we can continue forever if we get off the bodily platform. I mean the Gopis took Uddhava as their Guru, so I guess we can all accept other people as our Disciples as a service, no?

Do you know Yadunandana Swami?

Very wonderful, really humble person.


The other thing I would like to please ask you is the following: I’ve been trying to make some new friends, specially abroad (maybe in the US) so would you kindly recommend me some devotees to start a relationship?

thank you very much in advance and my very best regards!

Federico


HpS/ASA - What kind of 'friendship' do you want? What kind of service do you want to discuss?

Maybe some readers of us writers will right away want to write to you, right?

Let us go to the next two recent posts?

Thank you!!!!

News from Santiago de Chile

1 month, 2 weeks ago by dpsanchezm in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dear Guru Maharaha, PAMHO, TLGTSP!!!

A few days ago I sent my annual report here in the blog “Reports”. However, I want to tell you about some activities from last year and some plans for 2025.

2024:


HpS/ASA - Thank you for doing both! As we commented in the Post by Dhannista Devi Dasi we are still trying to digest all the letters we received during Guru Puja etc. 🙂


- Main festivals (as as Janmastami, Gaura Purnima): I celebrated at home because I have been living far away for temple. I made garlands for my deities with flowers from my garden.


ASA - SUPER

We thin you have bought Krsna and Radha forever by that one act!


- Home preaching programs: with Nityananda Prana das organize a program for people interested in knowing about Krishna, and occasionally we organize programs with devotees.

- Bhakti Sastri Course: I started the course with P. Radhika Nagara das from Mayapur Institute, but I had to stop it. To return in march.


ASA - Did you return??? Is it fun?


- NIOS Chile: I wrote a review for Solaris and it was accepted. I also participated in Radhika Raman's visit to Santiago. I had the opportunity to do a Little service with my godbrothers: Arjuna das, Jagad Guru das, Priya Sakhi dd, Manjuali dd, Lalita Madhava das. Great souls.


ASA - Academics remember and contemplate these experiences forever.


- I traveled to Colombia to visit my family and Nityananda Prana das really liked the city. We were at a sankirtan on one of the main Street of the city.


ASA - One famous (infamous) devotee from Colombia told us that Columbia has the best fruit, the best coffee and the best cocaine (!! 😯) in the world.

He said that the last one made all the problems.


U. G./T. B. - Why doesn't the USA just legalize cocaine, like cigaretts, and then evaporate all the cartels?

If you are going to kill your self (it says so on tobacco). Then do it in a civilized fashion?

Maybe a stupid idea.


2025: I hope to continue participating in NIOS, reading and grow in my spiritual life, being useful in service. Nityananda Prana has really been a great partner for me. Always, I read your messages on X (twitter), blog and follow the post in ASA and others.


HpS - How have you found WhatsApp, anveSaka, Community, Group?



Infinitely grateful to you Gurudeva for being your disciple. Thank you for all!

 Your servant,

Damni dd


HpS - We feel very honored, undeservably honored, that anyone finds our discipline useful.

AgtSP....

Las Tres Verdades son Una

1 month, 3 weeks ago by sacinandan das in Personal Sadhana Reports

Om ajnana- timirandhasya jnanañjana-salakaya

caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah


Hare Krishna, Gurudeva, TLGASP,

Everything is going well here in Monterrey. The family is getting used to the region and the climate.

There are many turquoise rivers not far away.

Laksmi's earnings have also improved.

The challenges in the family never end.

Kunti is already learning to hold a pencil and is undergoing weaning; Mani Kundali is teaching her to offer and chant.

All my daughters are fine, I'm trying to distribute the Bhagavad Gita with a little sankirtan practice.

In the last 2 months, 20 Bhagavad Gita have been distributed and they are my greatest solace in the midst of the hurricane of the three modalities.

In relation to my sankirtan service, a couple of anecdotes: on Mother's Day a man said: "I already have a gift for my wife, but this Bhagavad Gita will be the extra, she likes yoga and everything from India."

On another occasion, I was talking in a pharmacy for 10 minutes with a saleswoman who in the end didn't take the book.

Then, when I was about to leave, a woman appeared and said: "I'm going to want the book." I was listening to everything you said, I like all those topics about the soul, I was on the other side of the aisle and I threw all the talk away.

Well, something is something.

The next test is Mani Kundali surgery on the morning of May 22nd.

We pray for your blessings for all to be well, and we deeply trust in obtaining Krishna's favor.

Thank you always, Gurudeva.

Your eternal servant, Sacinandan Das


HpS/ASA - How is your Mama???

If you can just go out on book distribution every day, few days a week, that is great.

Hope she has good consciousness in the surgery and leans more about Krsna's external energy and can preach to the hospital people by her words and actions.

Do you live near Gadai?

Hare Krisna, Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que se encuentre bien de animo cuando reciba este mensaje.

Nosotros bien gracias a Dios. La verdad es que, en general, no hay muchos cambios. Seguimos peleando por mejorar el canto, la escucha, la asociación, etc. y maya sigue proponiendo cosas estupidas para que no tengamos exito en nuestro objetivo.

Bueno, el otro dia vi una foto del Sat Sanga nuestro de hace mas de once años. Asi que ya llevamos doce años con el programa. Le informo de que nos hemos comprado una vivienda en Brihuega (pueblo). En coche, de madrugada, se tardan ocho minutos en llegar a la sala del templo. La verdad es que ya llevo cinco años jubilado y estoy proyectando la ultima etapa de la vida donde la vejez se manifiesta en toda su expresión, aumentando las enfermedades y minimizando la actividad de los sentidos. Esta vivienda nos permitirá visitar a las Deidades y devotos con mas frecuencia. A partir de este verano pasaré mas tiempo en Brihuega para acudir al programa de la mañana y tener mas asociación con devotos que se han tomado seriamente el proceso. En verano será mi residencia principal y en invierno también quiero, en la medida de lo posible, pasar mas tiempo cerca de las Deidades y devotos.

Quiero decirle que leo regularmente el blog y me siento feliz leyéndolo y meditando en las conversaciones que se publican. No siento mucha necesidad de participar hablando. Estoy tratando de mejorar la calidad de la "escucha". También, todos los domingos que puedo me uno a la clase de CC de Upendra y SB de usted. Es una forma de reunión internacional sistemática e interesante. Aprecio mucho los dos programas (blog y clase) y me siento agradecido por ello.

No me extenderé mas de lo necesario y espero, si Dios quiere, que nos volvamos a ver con estos cuerpos o con otros.

Su sirviente

Hare Krishna, Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP and his faithful followers.

I hope you are in good spirits when you receive this message.


HpS/ASA - 🐵

..... 🐖

🐖

... Our spirit is moderately strong. 🙂


We are doing well, thank God.

The truth is, in general, there haven't been many changes.

We continue to strive to improve our chanting, listening, association, etc., and Maya keeps proposing stupid things to prevent us from achieving our goal.



Well, the other day I saw a photo of our Sat Sanga from over eleven years ago.

So we've been with the program for twelve years now.

I want to inform you that we have bought a house in Brihuega (a village).

By car, in the early morning, it takes eight minutes to get to the temple hall.

The truth is, I've been retired for five years now and I'm planning the final stage of life where old age manifests itself in all its expression, increasing illnesses and minimizing the activity of the senses.

This house will allow us to visit the Deities [Radha Govinda-candra!] and devotees more frequently.

Starting this summer, I will be spending more time in Brihuega to attend the morning program and associate more with devotees who have taken the process seriously.


ASA - We who are beasts salute you!!! 🐶

In the summer, it will be my primary residence, and in the winter, I also want to spend more time with the Deities and devotees as much as possible.


I want to tell you that I read the blog regularly and feel happy reading it and meditating on the conversations posted. I don't feel much need to participate by speaking. I'm trying to improve the quality of my listening. Also, every Sunday I can, I join Upendra and SB's CC class. It is a systematic and interesting form of international gathering. I greatly appreciate both programs (blog and class) and am grateful for it.


I won't go on any longer than necessary, and I hope, God willing, that we will meet again with these bodies or with others.

Your servant


Jayanta das


HpS - You are like Clint Eastwood: You don't talk much, but when you talk, your pistol speaks for you!

How are Nimai and Sarasvati growing?

Is The Purnamasi Devi Dasi going to retire from teaching soon?

She could teach in Brihuega, no?


For me, and I think many more people, your association and perspective are essential. Thank you.

Any more writing on The Lives of the Saints?
