Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! todas las glorias a Usted!

Espero se encuentre muy  bien de salud! disculpe hace varios meses que no le escribo,desde su ultima visita a Barcelona.

Desde julio ya no estoy haciendo sankirtan con libros, consegui un trabajo que nos permite renovar nuestra residencia legal aqui y estar mejor economicamente. la bebe tiene año y medio es muy curiosa y activa, pushpa cuida muy bien de ella y yo hago lo que puedo para ayudar.

HpS - Super!

Me levanto de lunes a viernes a mangal arotik, realizo la adoracion a la deidad,canto las oraciones guru astaka, nrismhadev y tulasi. Luego me voy a trabajar y durante el trabajo escucho a diario una clase en audio suya.  Canto las 16 rondas durante el dia, algunas son buenas. los fines de semana me despierto mas tarde.

Participando siempre de algun servicio en el templo, todos los viernes en el altar y un domingo al mes.

aqui los devotos españoles estan haciendo los estatutos nuevos para ISKCON(ACK) ESPAÑA,  y tenemos que votar si nos gusta o no nos gustan, no entiendo mucho del tema.

El templo esta como siempre: gundica, nimai, jayalaskmi y algunos devotos nuevos viviendo y  visitantes. todos los domingos harinam por la rambla y fiesta de domingo.

esperamos poder volver a verlo pronto.

su sirviente gadadhara gosai das.

hare krishna!

HpS - ASA --- Grrrrracias.  Reverencias a Gundica y Nimai y Jaya-laksmi...   Todo el mundo.   Espero bien la bebe-ismo. Puede predicar subtilmente en su trabajo?  Tiene un plan por su vida?   Puede ver en el Kapi-dhvaja fechas en Europa (Espana).

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja

Please, accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I'm writing you to tell that things haven't been so well during the last month and a half. It's a little sad because my first intention in coming to Chosica was to simplify my life in order to improve my spirituality but I haven't done it. I know that is mandatory to be patient in this process, and I'm trying it. The thing is that I'm quite stressed for my activities. Labor issues have not gone well, same with my marriage. I cling to my personal saddhana, my reading and my japa like to a life raft. But a permanent melancholy and sadness diminishes my enthusiasm and I think on the verge of a nervous breakdown at any time. My survival instinct compels me to devote myself to solve my personal problems, I must keep my devotional life afloat. I'm leaving my NIMSAR duties in the devotees hands, I'm resigning because there's no chance for me to do things in the way NIMSAR requires. Hope to give better news next time.

HpS - ASA ... Hare Krsna. AgtSP.   Who is the new Secretary for Nimsar?  This is the first time you write to us of these distressing conditions, and we have not heard of any such developments from others.

Of course, by our Karma business can go bad at any time and of course for either husband or wife their marriage situation can become bad also at any moment. We may be acting in the most sane and rational spirit, but forces from the past act.

Of course, for a sincere devotee, and also, of course, Krsna uses these things to give us chance to grow our sincerity, he learns how to realign his family, business, community, in terms of the real healthy center, Krsna. Then everything eventually becomes harmonius.

So, not knowing the details we cannot give detailed advice, but in general, the basic advice always holds true, "Chant Hare Krsna and be happy". You seem to be on the midst of great opportunities. Let Krsna drive your chariot, do the service that you know is correct, and that will lead you onto choices that will just be unavoidably clear. We are not God. He has His plan, become a pure devotee and watch the magic happen. Reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all.

Waiting for more news,

HpS - ASA

hare krisna Maharaj pamho agtsp.

a change of plans. I'm in ISKCON norway since Monday 12.
singing and "apparently" all right this week. I'm helping "Maha-bhavi prabhu" with traduccion of the Bhagabav-gita. Bhagavad-gītā. from English to Norwegian. notes the difference in the words in Sanskrit? this is my work; correct the words in Sanskrit. Cursive letter. fat letter. It's a lot of work; It takes all day. 8-9-10-11-12 finished chapters. one per day. little time to go in Maya but still found the time, I'm very clever. they are the news for now; It's a little late; morning when the alarm wakes me - "I wish I had not been born". therefore Hare Krishna.

Chapter 12 is very good so sweet - very very dear to my.

please accept my obeisances.

Maharaj thank you.

HpS - ASA --- So, you stay in Norway for some time?   Is NOI is Norweigen language????

As I told you on Skype, I am back and safe in Radhakunda. Thanks to Radharani's krpa and your causeless mercy for this fallen soul, I got the letter from Iskcon Vrndavan, Panca Goura Prabhu [is Pancha-gauda, no?  Madhya 18.134] was very kind with me, so I went to Philippines and Radha Madhava, the gorgeous deities in the temple, gave me shelter for the 15 days I was there. At the beginning they asked me for a recommendation letter from you, but when I started doing seva they said it was not necessary anymore. All devotees were very kind and even one devotee working as the secretary of the counsel in Indian embassy helped me a lot to get the new visa. Now I am back here in Radhakunda, just arrived two days ago and I am trying to retake my seva cleaning Radhakunda and here at home working for our Radha-Kunja Bihari.

Yesterday, I had to run to Vrndavan to help Radha Caran with the second initiation process since she entered in a fire suddenly and I told her how to chant the gayatri mantra as you asked me to do.

My dear guru maharaja, once again I want to thank you for all your help and causeless mercy. Your (trying to be humble) servant Tungavidya devi dasi

HpS - ASA --- You are so, so, so lucky.  Living on the banks of Radha-kunda constitutes the highest perfection of life. It is a perfection even great sages like the four Kumaras and Narada Muni cannot achieve. Of course, there is the Bhauma Radha kunda we see with our litle, Sadhana-bhakta eyes, but it can be such a nice step toward the Radha-kunda that the Brija Vasis see.

Nectarean Glories of Sri Vrndavana-dhama
by Srila Prabodhananda Sarasvati Thakura
(Translated by Kusakratha Dasa)

Sataka One. 1
1 Meditating on the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Muralimanohara, placing myself at the dust of Lord Caitanya’s feet, and respectfully offering obeisances to the great devotees of the Lord, who are so many oceans of transcendental virtue, I shall now happily begin to praise the transcendental opulences of Sri Vrndavana.

2 I am not strong enough to go to the far shore of the great nectar ocean of Vrndavana’s glories. Who can go there? However, because I love Vrndavana I will now dip into that ocean. I pray that this endeavor may become successful and bring an auspicious result.

3 O Sri Vrndavana, please reveal in my heart Your wonderful transcendental form full of the most confidential spiritual knowledge and bliss. Embarrassed to describe the highest nectar, the Upanisads only say “not this, not this”. Where are you described?

4 Day and night I glorify Vrndavana, which is filled with the wonder of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna’s pastimes, the wonder of the greatest sweetness, the ultimate nectar of Lord Hari, the sweetest, most beautiful auspiciousness and a flood of virtues Ananta-sesa, Siva, and a host of others cannot cross.

5 Think of Vrndavana with love. Roll in its dust. Love it ardently. Please its moving and non moving residents. Worship Sri Radha’s birthplace. With all your heart take shelter of Sri Vrndavana, the best of all holy places.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP

PAMHO

It is very nice to have iur daily association .. sometimes we even crawl for managala artik!

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!  Nice to have yours and the others!     Are you presenting Draupadi on Saturday morning?

Gurudeva.. the authorities from wilson sent me more than 5 emails asking me to be the head pujari again.. I think and think ask 6 brahmanas.. I did not ask U because on that time U said that it is time for us to grow up. I accept.. but I asked them for 2 weeks.. In order to see how can I help, etc

HpS - ASA -- Good decision!

It is a pity GM if I am sincere I am really discouraged. Wilson is old dirty and it is really frustrating even if I clean and clean... It is never clean enough...  as u said admimistration here is a mess..many fancy jewels that I bought are lost

HpS - It is a mess here too.   I heard from Prabhupada's lips that...  [remember?].....  There are problems in our Temples.

<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" />. devotees do not want to do practical,service.. then i think in which way I am helping to the sankirtan movement.

I remembered The Loft it was neat and clean... I really miss that... Anyway I had the idea to celebrate Ramvijaya in wilson. M Ganga has Sita Rama Laksman Hanuman deities so we are going to perform an abhishek, a little program in order to inspire us and inspire the devotees... I am going to give the class.

HpS - Some times we serve in Hell, sometimes we serve in Mahar-loka.  We just serve and then Krsna will put good intelligence right in front of our face what to do!   Don't leave, don't deviate!

In Chosik the celebration is going to be on Sunday.. I will help doimg the flower dress for GN.. is going to be a contest... 

We already bought our tickets to chile ...VP for U and all the Guruparampara... just one week.. we are not goimg to bs as because we are working until the end of January

This is our report. 

Trying to be iur disciple

Cmdd

HpS - Please stick in there for six years like this and as far as I know your return to Goloka dhama is guaranteed.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a su sankirtana eterno

Hare krsna gurudeva, pamho, gracias por sus palabras directas y claras, ahora entraré en un momento de introspección, voy a tratar de levantarme más temprano y cantar bien mis rondas y meditar más en Srila Prabhupada y usted.

Morir en sankirtana o en un templo sin opción a regresar a mi vida de antes, estudiar y trabajar???

Con respecto al viaje a India me refería que queríamos comprarlo en las fechas del 15 de enero al 01 de febrero del 2016, ir para esas fechas y quedarse unos 3 meses.

La verdad y quiero ser sincera que todo éste tiempo desde que  conocí a P. Gadai hace 6 años, empecé hacer éste servicio  maravilloso del sankirtana viajero, pero mi padre nunca estuvo de acuerdo con que yo viaje y siempre me está reprochando y haciendo sentir mal con sus indiferencias  y pienso que tal vez no soy buena hija para él al desobedecer, mi padre sabia que yo nunca ejersería mi carrera cuando era niña un devoto le dijo, y más aún ahora en mi carta astrólogica  sale la carta de kalamrta donde es muy extremo a la vida espiritual, el karma no me dá para estudiar ni trabajar ni tener familia, porque  en mis resultados últimos del doctor sale que tengo muy debil y pequeñitos los ovarios. Empiezo a preguntar si yo estoy ejerciendo el deber correcto como mujer???

Estoy muy confundida a quien debo seguir a mi esposo o a mi padre o a Krsna????, devotos grjastras presionan en establecerme y mi karma de un hipie viajero no me dá.

Perdóneme gurudeva, me falta mucha convicción para entregarme a Krsna, como ud. dijo a LAD ¿Voy a servir a Dios o el Diablo?

Tratando de entender el servicio más sublime que dejó srila prabhupada

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi. 

HpS - ASA --- Habla con unos personas que conocen la situation. Canta HK/HR bueno, y busca inspiracion personal en los libros de Srila Prabhupada.
