Hare Krsna

Paoho Jay Gurudeva!!

Muy feliz por participar en mangala con Uds. mis hermanos, re hermoso arreglo de Krsna este año, vivo cerca al templo de chosica,  soy vecina de devotos  y puedo ir siempre a cantar rondas, comer prasadham, después voy a trabajar, un día decidí que no debía desviarme de la educación lo cual considero que es mi vocación y muchas ofertas de trabajo y una cerca al templo de Chosica, entonces estoy trabajando con niños de 4 añitos en un nido del estado, es una experiencia maravillosa, a esa edad la gente en transparente como un papel, pura y muy amorosa, cantar, jugar, contar historias, hacer manualidades, cuidar, orientar y amar a los pequeños, es como ser media mamá, una hermosa experiencia, y me queda tiempo para la distribución de libros, lo cual ya es parte de mi vida, puja y estudios.

ASA - Krsna tiene un buen plan para todos.

Por otro lado estamos con NIMSAR en el Encuentro de educación la cuenta regresiva empieza, mi servicio es de recepción y búsqueda de donantes, por lo que pido sus bendiciones para tener éxito en este esfuerzo, esperamos una respuesta próxima de devotos de Ecuador, y tenemos muchas opciones de alojamiento en Chosica, al final los más beneficiados serán todos los devotos de la región, por ello espero que todos puedan tomar muy en serio la necesidad de contribuir en la educación de todos los devotos como única solución para afrontar el presente y futuro con más oportunidades de crecimiento espiritual y material tanto personal y social.

Esperamos que su predica y salud sea favorable. Y cómo encontró India, podremos ir pronto verdad?

Krsna lo bendiga siempre

ASA - AGTSP. I think we go to India in February and stay for two months, then visit Europe on the way back.

Super fotos!

Super, super, super sus programas con los ninyos pequenos. Adelante. Siempre mantener un "journal" de sus dias. Y leer lo despues.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please receive my obeisances dear Gurudeva.

Gurudeva, by your mercy I am improving my sadhana with 16 rounds and 4 principles. Twice a week I attend mangala arati assisting Their Lorships and I continue doing my service in Asa kids. My sons are very enthusiastic in their spiritual life. 8 year old Mukunda chants two rounds and 6 year old Muni starts chanting without finishing a round yet. We have a small program with aratik and after we have a lecture on the bhagavatam. Iam trying to follow mother Aruddha dd’s instructions on homeschooling. We now finish the third canto on the pastimes of Kardama Muni and Devahuti. They brought us to the place where they resided to the floating palace Kardama Muni prepared for Devahuti; the lake Bindhu Sarovara formed with the tears Lord Vishnu shed. This is very entertaining for the kids. Afterwards we have Spanish and mathematic classes. We have ups and downs. There are some days when I feel we are going on the right track and others I think the day was a disaster but I continue with confidence.

Asa Kids Sunday programs are flowing very favorably. We have 18 kids inscribed every seminar sometimes even more. We created a small group formed by mothers which are members of a family and we gather periodically to give classes to the kids such as mridanga and cooking classes with prabhu Uddharana das. A lot of consciousness has been raised regarding children education in ISKCON Mexico and ALL THIS IT’S THANKS TO YOU GURUDEVA. Prabhu Vidagdha and I your servant have the desire to go to the congress in Houston and visit you with our kids. In these coming days we’ll go to the USA embassy to request our visas. We beg for your blessings so we get them and we can be in July with you in Houston. Thank you Gurudeva.

Your Servants Vidaghda das y Gopi Radha dd

HpS-AGTSP paoho. We sent back the invitation letters that M. Lalita-gopi asked for. I think you can communicate well through Govinda pramodini DD en Houston. You education news is very very nice. We remind ourselves, "yad yad acarati sresthas...", our example is the most powerful form of our teaching. If we live lusty lives then we will communicate that to  our friends and students and contaminate them.

Hare Krishna  Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - Hmmmm? Has ido a Peru. Estuvimos en contact en Peru un ano pasado??

hare krsna Maharaj,
Pamho, AGTSP,

Hope you have somewhat recovered from tirededness of Europe trip. I will try to be short.

HpS - Yes, AGTSP!!!!    I think we have, but the material energy is always exhausting, no?   Hope you will be long!

--thank you for much engaging in service, it does give us some good memories to think about in andh-kupam

-- i have got the recordings of conference in delhi, please tell me when we should give you that.

-- my wife is diagnosed with depression and OCD.
HpS - What is OCD (Opulent ??? Disease)?  Living with the head of a psychiatric hospital. Attending psychiatric conferences. We have to comment from the very beginning that everyone involved in the process seems to agree with Carl Jung's analysis that psychology in the West was only born this morning and all these diagnosis, though they may really help, must be taken with a plate of prasadam.

Major reason has been her in-laws and her husband. We have removed altar from our home (as that some become stimulus of discomfort to our wife). In march 2015 she threw all photograph of paramapara including yours and Krsnas, and gave it to trash-man.
In such cases we are very much fearful for any stimulus of stress.

HpS - Well I can see her being disturbed with our picture, but what did Krsna every do to cause her distress?

-- we get very much confused about illicit sex, because we get different opinions from you, and grhastha counsellor.

HpS - If s(he)it tells you that to fornicate for fun is O.K. then they are not Grhastha, they are Grhamedhis. Of course, we may not come to the natural standard immediately, and to force it artificially will cause other problems, but we should understand that as long as we are doing unnatural things we will suffer. Of course, Krsna will try to help us minimize the suffering. Indulging in illicit sex in a regulated fashion may be suggested by a Grhastha counselor but of course not encouraged or offered with any deception that you will not suffer, but your suffereing will be educational.

Our perspective, if one enjoy in youth beyond quota one suffers in old age (as simple)

HpS - It would be simple study to match up occurence of Alzheimer's disease with onset and intensity of unnatural sex.

-- we are chanting somehow, and hearing SP lectures on CC (no book reading )

-- we don't KNOW why you are so merciful on person (who is from sinful background, whose associated hover over mental platform). you must have  divine eyes to see us as part and parcel of Krsna.

HpS - Hey, I would say that you are continuing to try to get real mercy from Prabhupada, not because you are so much sincere, although I think you are a very sincere person, but rather because you executed sincere service in a previous life and so now you KNOW that this is the bona fide path. Look up "super cooled liquid" on the internet?  Are you becoming a super cooled liquid.

BLLLLOOOOOP!   One day your whole life changes in a moment.

It comes down to the same thing. I don't live with you enough to give my opinion whether you are crazy or you wife is crazy or your inlaws are crazy or your psychologist is crazy, but when we are together you don't seem to be anymore crazy than we are. The only way to get good evaluation of this is to have sane friends. Work toward good association of any kind. It is even worth risking economic situation to get good friends, no?

We have been in contact with Prof. Samaresh. He went home with blood pressure super high but is recovering. So many good comments on the book and it's release. We are just getting our feet on the ground (with your help, write often) and trying to get priorities for Sankirtan sorted out.
 

We can not control our mind. in our passionate state, we even started instructing you ( remember the MS word instance, (No, so we proabably didn't take it as anything unnatural (certified UC Davis Psychology Department instruction: everyone in this world is a little crazy)) I think its best for us to die young on some battle ground, following some Brahamana.

HpS - Well as long as you are following a Brahmana, live or die it is all good.

HpS - See attached foto.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, pamho, Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

I hope that you are well and that you will have a very good trip . May Lord Nrsimhadeva protect you in all directions.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!   paoho....  We answered another letter on the same topic while we were traveling, no?   Now we can get to this one. We are very busy in Tennessee but at least not traveling every few days!

I continued editing ( slowly) the videos of the NIOS tour 2015. I upload 2 of them for you to see them before I publish. If you wish you can tell us your opinion so we can improve them.

HpS - AGTSP   paoho.  We will look at them tonight when we are at NGD's house. We don't have a good enough connection to watch them from our ASA Office. Thank you.

The image quality is not good as the original video, later I'll fix that.

The full conference at the National Library of Chile is also finished but I could not upload it yet. We will do it soon from better internet connection.

HpS - So much of our effort in these Jung's things was based upon starting a dialog with our contacts in Peru. A little bit happened but now it is like 97% stopped.  We are very much re-evaluating our educational efforts. Our Sankirtan has to go on in the association of devotees. With whom do we share our passions for preaching? Srila Prabhupada? Others?   Without Sankirtan everything else has no motivation, especially in the Kali yuga!

Talking about me, I'm not having a good time. The four principles are ok, but finish with the 16 rounds is 10 times harder than before. I do not feel connection with the holy name ... I'm not going beyond the surface and I can not reach deep introspection.  And I feel stupid and lazy because I know what I have to do to improve things ... but  I fail.

Last night I dreamed  that you phoned us and when I answered I heard you chanting japa. So I thought _ah! is FMP´s  time! And I woke up just before the alarm in time to go to Start Meeting.

Muchas Gracias Gurudeva.

P/D: I attached some pictures from the construction of the asram.
My father came a few days with his truck to help us. We collect stones from the way enough to make the foundation.

HpS - Yes, is very, very nice to see your names in the list each morning.

Text 7  and 8 of NoI talk in detail about this level of chanting, service.

Sometimes we have no Karma-yoga motivation, so we don't chant serve, because it is not our 'nature'. This was Arjuna's situation, no?  He could not walk away from the fight. His karma was there. So, his yoga had to be there. In Chapter Six, Yoga ladder verse (?) Prabhupada says that in the beginning we are attracted to a certain kind of service, but later we fall in love with Krsna. So, if we can come to the Jnana-yoga level that is more secure than the Karma-yoga level. Then I can serve because I understand this is Krsna's desire, even if I don't feel it 'karma'. Of course, that kind of yoga will gradually give you a taste that goes beyond being a girl. You will become a sexless philosopher.
That is interesting thing for Grhastha ashram or even being someone's "daughter".
"My daughter is a sexless, intellectual", but as it goes on that Jnana-yoga enriches our Karma-yoga and then we become a sweet, philosophical wife and daughter. In he beginning there is natually a little tendency toward impersonalism.

Super fotos!  Become the Prince and Princess of your District.

All Glories to Sri Sri Gauranga Nitiananda.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All Glories to you!
All Glories to devotees.

Please accept my most humble obeisances to your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA - Potato feet. AGTSP!

Dear Gurudeva, I'm Rati Manjari DD, you remember me? jijiji xD

ASA - The second most famous person in Argentina, no?

Hope your health is good!!!!

ASA - At 67-years USA we can really see that 9-more years for this body is a practical and esoteric estimate. Teeth, memory, vision, hearing going, but experience and intelligence increasing. Gotta get ready for service without a gross body, and you?

Gurudev my Japa improve, I can complete it and keep, following 4 principles but my consciousness is so material.
Gurudev we have gave the course of the spiritual scientist which is based on the small books of Srila Prabhupada and give the information of content in a nice and easy way, when we finish to gave the class the students stay in the class room making more and more questions! I am really grateful about that, I can understand how Prabhupadas message can change the life of people. It encourage me a lot!

ASA - \'0'/  Jaya....    ....   You can't do that if you have very material consciousness. Must have only moderately material conscioiusness.

Gurudev in our last godbrothers meeting we talk about keep connected with your preach line, we have debate about which one of yours principal items is more interesting for each one of us, to start to make study groups, it's a initial idea, but I hope we together can make a work team to keep your crops alive during the time you're not in the country and develop compromise and good contacts for get the better places for you.

ASA - Our preaching line is what Prabhupada and the Parampara sends us through different sources. Every sales man has his own technique.

In Bhakti Sastri we have some questions to make to you, can u help us please?

1- ¿How the Maha-Mantra has made accesible for all? We was talking about in the first moment was a secret mantra. ¿Was Caitanya who change the order of the words to make reachable for all?
ASA - We have heard about this in different ways but never read it in any of Prabhupada's books or lectures, letters, even from devotees who heard it from Prabhupada.
P'pada cites the Maha-mantra from the Kalisantara Upanisad. The wikipedia says that it is one of the Upanisads from the Black Yajur Veda. That is about all I know. 

2- The "rasa" of each entity is always the same? Or can evolve? - We always are "the same" and we discover? Or when we obtain prema, Krsna give it to us?
ASA - In NOI the verse 'nitya-siddha krsna prema..." is cited. Look it up and see where it is spoken and then read that section. Send us your thoughts!

 Thank u!

 More questions:

3- You have some estimeed date to visit our Yatra.

ASA - Seems 12 August to 7 September in Peru. Then January in Chile, maybe Argentina then. We would like to live there.

4 - Mangala Arati: the time to make it, the only way is doing it at 4.30am?  can do it at 5.3 or 6.00 this option is possible?

ASA - In NOI Srila Prabhupada says like, up by 4AM and Mangala arati, but in Krsna book he says that we should chant HK during the Brahma-muhurta. So seems we should have Mangal-arati during the Brahma muhurta. Look for Muhurtas on the Wikipedia and tell us your results!

5- GM one devotee make my astrological chart, and told about this is a good time to travel, based on that and my wish to travel, I  decide to go to India next year when you will be there, you agree? What you think about that? I need your blessings.

ASA - I think we will go there after Chile for like three months.

We start again with the congress and visit issues. ;)

Gurudeva please bless me to understand Krishna Consciousness, bless me for understand Prabhupada's mission and for be a tool in your service.  Sorry for my long letter, thanks for your valuable time. The world would be devastating for me if you were not in it.

Who always want to stay by your side. Your practicant of disciple.
Rati Manjari Devi Dasi.

ASA - Monkey and Piggy are still using the pencil bag that you gave us. Whenever we see it we think of you, the second most intelligent person in Argentina!!
