Persiguiendo un sueño

Querido Guru Maharaja. PAOHO

Las noticias de su venida son las mejores y las más esperadas.

Hace poco en una clase de literatura, la profesora contó la historia de Ramayana, la conto mal pero me sorprendió que la conociera, otro profesor que hablaba de la creación del mundo y criticaba el dogma católico, luego de conversar con Él  me dijo que los Tahoistas y en los vedas hay respuestas, los profesores inocentes inquisitivos son las mejores personas para predicar.

Por bendición de Krsna pese a todo problemas transitorios, las nuevas juntas, la subida del alquiler, que pongan en ansiedad a devotos, medidas arbitrarias como que las deidades no vayan Chosica en las fiestas principales, etc. vivimos en un templo así que siempre estoy en asociación  con devotos, despierto con ellos y me duermo viéndolos, este años si continuaba con mil servicios como antes, nunca podría cumplir la meta de la pirámide de Maslov, y según creo salvo los estudiantes de las escrituras que son pocos, no tengo mucha asociación de intelectuales y es necesario si uno desea enseñar asociarse con educadores, es por eso que después de pensar detenidamente en nuestra conversación a principios de año sobre estudios, vi una oportunidad de continuar mi formación estudiando educación, es mi deseo, me fascina la literatura y la historia, entonces voy ´por ese camino, ahora ayudo a mantener a mi padre junto con mis hermanos y no dispongo de muchos ingresos, por segunda carrera algunas estales te cobran, algunos tontos piensas que los que distribuimos libros somos ricos no es cierto no es lo único que hacemos, entonces estoy empezando desde cero voy a tratar de ingresar a una universidad, una que queda cerca del templo y tiene prestigio, así podré estudiar sin pagar, es el plan, si Krsna quiere lo lograré pues las matemáticas no son mi fuerte, el que quiere celeste que le cueste, debo fijar mi mente en este objetivo. Es una etapa muy bonita, soy la estudiante más entusiasta, amo el conocimiento y si por el momento no voy mucho a Chosica es natural vivo Wilson, un templo muy activo, observo mi vida y veo algo muy bueno, pero falta equilibrio, mi madre siempre fue un ejemplo de profesora y así me inspiro, no es como la religión católica que mantiene a sus devotos monjes, en ISKCON cada uno debe buscar la forma para sobrevivir, no es exageración. Y la manera más bella de vivir para mi es estudiar y enseñar, Ud. también nos inspira con su empuje constante a la educación, entonces debo prepararme, estar a la altura de las exigencias del mundo moderno.

Bueno soñar no cuesta nada, una vez más pido sus bendiciones sin ellas no hay sentido para seguir.

Estamos refelices por su venida, ojala podamos darle buenas noticias muy pronto!

Hari bolo!

Dear Guru Maharaja. PAOHO 

The news of his coming are the best and the most anticipated. 

Recently in a literature class, the teacher told the story of Ramayana, the counted wrong but I was surprised that knew her, another teacher who spoke of the creation of the world and criticized the Catholic dogma, after talking with him he told me that Tahoistas and the Vedas are no answers, inquisitive innocent teachers are the best people to preach. 

By blessing of Krsna nevertheless transient problems, new gaskets, rising rent, put anxious devotees, arbitrary measures such as the deities not go Chosica in major festivals, etc. live in a temple so I'm always in association with devotees awake with them and fall asleep watching this year if he continued thousand services as before, I could never meet the target pyramid Maslov, as I believe except students from scriptures that few, I have little association of intellectuals and is necessary if one wants to teach partnering with educators, is why after carefully thinking about our conversation earlier this year about studies, I saw an opportunity to continue my education studying education, it is my desire, I love literature and history, then I'll'por that way, now I help keep my father along with my brothers and I do not have much income for the second race some STATE, charge you, some fools think the we distribute books we are rich is not true is not all we do, so I'm starting from scratch will try to enter a university, which is near the temple and has prestige, so I can study without pay, is the plan, if Krsna wants'll make it because math is not my forte, he wants the sky to cost you, should I set my mind on this goal. It is a very nice stage, I am the most enthusiastic student, master the knowledge and if We do not often go to Chosica is natural living Wilson, an active temple, I see my life and see something very good, but lacks balance, my mother it was always an example of a teacher and inspired me so, it's not like the Catholic religion that keeps its monks devotees in ISKCON each must find a way to survive, is not exaggeration. And the most beautiful way of life for me is to study and teach you. Also inspires us with his constant push to education, then I must prepare myself to live up to the demands of the modern world.

Well dreaming is once again ask for your blessings without it there is no sense to continue. 

We are refelices by his coming, hopefully we can give you good news soon! 

Hari bolo!

Important! about diksa / siksa guru

Dear Gurudeva,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada Patita Pavana
All glories to ALL devotees!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

Well, this letter is very very important for me, but if you consider that is not urgent, please answer me when you think necessary.

I had special mercy to take association with a great soul last week:  your God-brother, HG Mahatma Das and many strong and deep feelings that never had felt, happened in my heart and still there until now. I don't want that sounds sentimentalism but it's what I feel and my mind can't leave to think about it from I started to know him through his classes, interviews, kirtan until before he left.  And I felt so confused and guilty because of that things.. because I had started to think about our relationship of guru/disciple and because I doubted about my diksa guru - you -  because that feelings was really strong. I can't describe it. So I told him and he calm me saying, among other things, that It's not unnatural to feel affection for many devotees as I can have many siksha gurus, and it is not unnatural to have deep affection for one or more of those gurus. And.. if I really feel a very closed connection with him now or later as a diksa guru, I should present to you honestly. So here I am. I feel that deep connection with him but also guilty because this could have been avoided, perhaps waiting more time.. Anyway, I really need to be honest with you although hurts, because you are my gurudeva for whom I feel so much deep affection and this won't change. But all these days, I am getting up with a very big weighted backpack because of this feelings that I could. Because Also You are in my heart.

I have been followguiding 4 principles, 16 rounds, doing fixed services in the temple (pujari an altar decoration), studying bhakti sastri and still in all of that. I will continue following your instructions trying to serve to Srila Prabupada's mission and getting association with your amazing disciples. I really need to open up to you and to my god brothers and If you please, I would really like to still serve you. I going to still being your disciple until I leave my body because of your mercy I can be someone in this life. Please forgive my offenses. I don't know how should I proceed now... I need your blessings.

Sincerily,
trying to serve you with love and affection,

Bhaktin Belen.

HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. Such a nice letter, thank you. This is why we have "Nectar of Devotion" from Rupa Goswami. If we are going to study chemistry it can be very dangerous combining chemicals without proper guidance. We can blow up our house and our parents with it.

On the other hand Krsna understands that we are fools so He doesn't give us scissors with points, but gives us the kids scissors with rounded points etc.

I think you might like Prabhupada's persprective in SB 8.24-50-53.

Unless we understand that Diksa, Siksa, Pati, Astra, Rasa Gurus are all just representatives of Krsna and that Krsna is our Master, Friend, Father, Beloved then we will find it hard to organize these different relations.

Mahatma Das and I are friends. We have served in different parts of ISKCON so we have not had a lot of detailed asociation, but as far as I know he is a very nice devotee. How are our "Gurus" connecting us to Srila Prabhupada? How are they, Prabhupada, connecting us to Lord Gaurasundara...

O.K? It seems to mee that you should just keep Srila Prabhupada in the center and then you can see all of this disciples as Diksa, Siksa or others types of Gurus clearly. Of course, even in Goloka people are growing their relationships. Some follow Radha, some follow Candravali, some follow Pallika and some are mixing both. Rohini, Balarama's mother, participates in both Vrndavana and Mathura lila.

Hare krishna Maharaj ! Please accept my humble obiansces . All the glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

Maharaj, i hope you are very well! i know you are travelling a lot and you dont have much time! I only wanted to ask because I would like to have the oportunity to meet you Maharaj. As i told you before Ism from Peru but iam living in Argentina, every year I go in the summer to peru to visit my family. I know you are coming to argentina in january and then you will be in chile. i wanted to know, if you will be in peru in Lima, in February , and if so if it would be posible to meet you there?  Iam trying to organize the vacations and my familly is telling me to please go for the christmast and new year because is the time they have holidays also.  That would make it dificult for me to come back for the time you will be here in january

So in order to organize this and maybe stay more time , meaning february in peru i would like to know if you will be there and if it would be posible to meet you there.

Iam sorry Maharaj to ask you this things, is only that i would be sad if you come here and i cannot meet you and also if you go to peru and i cannot be in the same time! 

HpS - ASA - Thank You. If you go to jayarama.us/kb/cal.htm you should see the South American dates all there. If not write again.

Apart from that maharaj, one question, iam still struggling with service, i cannot find a service i can do. I feel that with doing the rounds, worshipping the deities, following the principles i have no dificulty , I enjoy it ! But finding a service i could do i having dificulty, why can this be ? 

HpS - Hmmm! I don't know. Just keep chantng and asking Krsna. It took Draupadi a long time to understand why all the things were happening to her.

I consider myself as a not very sociable person, maybe this is why ? 

Thank you very much maharaj !! I hope you are great!! Iam sorry for any offenses i could have done in this writting!

PAMHO

Dear Guru Maharaja

Espero se encuentre bien. Aquí estoy.

Le pido disculpas por no escribir seguido, no anduve muy bien estos meses, muy poca asociación y sadhu sanga. No estuve haciendo sankirtana tampoco. Me siento muy apenado y triste por errores míos este año y  me comporte mal con algunas personas y mi deseo es remediarlo de alguna manera.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! Paoho. There is no mistake that we can make that we cannot correct.

Estoy pidiendo perdón a cada persona que genere ansiedad y que perjudique con esto. Y cuando Ud. venga aquí en Enero espero poder disculparme personalmente con Ud.

HpS - ASA - Pienso es muy suficiente esta carta. Gracias! Por mi perspectivo, que no es perfecto, Vds. es basicamente una buena persona. Aun buen personas haz errores. Claro, aprender de los errores y no los hacen otra vez, no?

Quiero ser sincero en este proceso, me esta costando bastante, sobre todo ser sincero conmigo mismo, y que decir con las demás personas.

Estoy cantando las rondas y siguiendo los principios pero mi mente a veces  se encuentra bastante agitada. No estoy lo suficiente enfocado en esto y quiero solucionarlo.

Tuve que dejar el servicio de organización de bhajans en Iskcon argentina porque no podía seguir realizándolo por falta de tiempo y stress.

De todas formas sigo sirviendo en la parte de comunicaciones y diseño grafico, y trabajando en la contaduría y administración en el templo y restaurant.

Recien hoy en Radhastami volvi a asociarme con devotos. Dependo de eso.

Feliz Radhastami!

Espero su venida a Buenos aires y poder reunirme con ud.

Disculpe mis ofensas

Gracias por leer mi carta

           HpS - Muy bien! Adelante. Mas reportajes despues de un tiempo. Fija metas practicos!

TLGASP..!! HARE KRSNA GURU MAHARAJA..!!

  

   Yasodanandana Das : Por favor Gurudeva, Acepte nuestras humildes reverencias a sus divinos pies de loto! Llevamos tiempo deseando escribirle un reporte sobre.......no sé  por donde empezar; Gayatri, bastante regulado pero necesito profundizar aun más en su significado, como puedo mejorar? Japa, trabajando duro, siempre mejoro cuando conecto con Japa joe........un dia usted me dijo que son 108 salagram silas y que las adorase con todo el corazón, eso intento. Hemos acabado el dico Salsa-rasa-lila, muchas hora  de trabajo intenso pero muy feliz con el resultado, Espero que a usted y al Señor Krsna tambien le resulten agradable. 

   Un amigo devoto, Kesava Bharati Prabhu, Discipulo de Bhakti Caru swami ha vivido y trabajado en swissa como cirujano por 30 años, ahora vá a abrir un centro de predica en Alicante y nos pide que le ayudemos con su proyecto, seria abrir un restorante-biblioteca dentro del campus universitario de Alicante, Kesava Bharati Prabhu pondria todas las facilidades necesarias para cambiar de ciudad minimo por un año, a nosotros nos gusta la idea, pero que piensa usted?  Nos dara sus bendiciones Guru maharaja?

  Ekadrsti d ,d :   Querido Guru Maharaja, el dia 9 de agosto nacio la pequena Yamuna, vispera de Balarama, el parto fue casi celestial como usted nos vaticino. es muy buena y tranquila.  Nitay y Vrinda solo quieren cargarla y besarla. Son unos devotos maravillosos, predican a la familia y a los amigos de manera sorprendente e inteligente! Son muy entusiastas con las fiestas (julan yatran en casa con los devotos) y  se pelean por bañar a las deidades en Janmasthami  y Radhastami. Cantan a menudo la cancion de Radha jaya Madhava dayite y la de Nrsmhadeva, les gusta mucho. Hacen guirnaldas de claveles de la india para Goura Nitay. A veces quieren comer algo y lo ofrecen a sus deities, Radha-Krsna ,  Jaganatha, Baladeva y Subhadra de tela y Hanumanji de madera de sandalo y  Srila Prabhupada en foto. Nitay dice cosas como "que lo mas bonito de este mundo es el amor por Dios·" y Vrinda recoge florecitas y se las pone a Gopal y a Radharani en el altar y le gusta ayudarme cuando vestimos a las deidades. Fue una experiencia inolvidable para ellos los cuatro dias que pasaron en la granja para el cumpleanos de Krsna, jugando todo el dia con amigos, los hijos de los devotos, felices, en su mundo- Vaikuntha! 

     Esperando llegar a tener un dia la cualificación de Discipulos sinceros a sus pies de loto, sin más.......Yasodanandana Prabhu y Ekadrsti D,d le ofrecen respetuosas reverencias.

                GRACIAS GURUDEVA. HARE KRSNA.

---------------

Yasodanandana Das: Please Gurudeva, Please accept our humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet! We time wishing write a report on ....... I do not know where to start; Gayatri fairly regulated but I need to further deepen its meaning, how can I improve? Japa, working hard, always improved when I connect to Japa joe ........ one day you told me you are 108 silas salagram and that worship with all my heart, I try. We finished the doctor Salsa-rasa-lila, many hours of work intense but very happy with the result, I hope you and the Lord Krsna also will prove enjoyable. 

    A devoted friend, Kesava Bharati Prabhu Disciple of Bhakti Caru Swami has lived and worked in Swissa as surgeon for 30 years, is now going to open a preaching center in Alicante and asks us to help with your project, it would open a restorante- library within the university campus in Alicante, Kesava Bharati Prabhu would put all minimum necessary to change city for a year, we like the idea facilities, but you think? We give their blessings Guru Maharaja? 

   Ekadrsti d, d: Dear Guru Maharaja, the day was born August 9 the Yamuna, Eve Balarama, small delivery was almost heavenly like you I predict us. is very good and quiet. Nitai and Vrinda just want to load it and kiss her. Are wonderful devotees preach family and amazing friends and smarter! They are very enthusiastic about the holidays (julan Yatran home with devotees) and fight over bathing the deities in Janmasthami and Radhastami. Often sing the song Jaya Radha Madhava of Nrsmhadeva dayite and, like a lot. Make garlands of carnations to Goura Nitai India. Sometimes they want to eat something and offer it to their deities, Radha-Krsna, Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra fabric and Hanumanji of sandalwood and Srila Prabhupada in picture. Nitai says things like "that most beautiful in this world is the love of God ·" Vrinda and collect flowers and put them to Gopal and Radharani at the altar and loves to help when we dressed the deities. It was an unforgettable experience for the four days they spent at the farm for the birthday of Krishna, playing all day with friends, the children of the devotees, happy in his world Vaikuntha! 

      Hoping to one day get to have sincere qualification to his lotus feet Discipulos no more ....... Yasodanandana Ekadrsti Prabhu and D, d offer respectful obeisances. 

                 THANK GURUDEVA. HARE KRSNA.

   

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Super news! You are one damn lucky Cuban!!! <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> Your kids may be some kind of super stars as they grow up. AGTSP!

Project with Kesava bharati Das seems nice. I cant tell any details from here, so of course use some care and caution, no?

I have trouble with the Gayatri's also. Srila Prabhupada doesn't seem to talk about Their meaning much, so I guess it is mostly, just chant then and They will manifest their confidential meaning to us.

I hope we are getting enough news out about our Sankirtan to be useful to you. Lets look at a few more letters. We really need your association. The Salsa-rasa-lila is available?

veo que muchos devotos hablan asi como si fuese una relacion muy fuerte
incluso discipulos suyos dicen tener sierto rasa con ud

Thank you for your letter. First, Prabhupada had over a thousand disciples. I was like 1,111 or something like that. So, an intense relationship with the spiritual master does not mean physical or exchange of a lot of individual letters. As need there can be that.

Lord Caitanya had 4 intimate associates: Svarupa Damodara, Ramananda Rai, Sikhi Mahiti and Sikhi Mahiti's sister. Of course, since he was a Sannyasi He never spoke or even came close to SM's sister. Still she was one of the 4 most intimate amongst thousands.

So, the intimate connection with the spiritual master or any devotee is to try to understand their service and help them.

We are trying to serve people by counseling like this, answering letters. It is only possible through the Blog. If you just adjusted your letter a little bit, not naming your material addiction specifically then you could post your letter on the Blog, then this answer could go for at least 15-more devotees to see who have 97% the same problem as you. Then our letter load is reduced from 450 per month to 150 per month.

Of course, these addictions: sex, power, fame, intoxication, mental pleasure, are different for different people. You have to do your own work of using the tools that Lord Caitanya has given us to pull up your individual weeds. Some are very very deep.

Of course, full morning and evening program are essential process. Are you doing that? Are you getting up early and having time for your spiritual life?

We have to force our mind by hard work to taste spiritual pleasure then it will not be attracted by the material rasa which is a shadow.

 One very specific technique is to chant Hare Krsna all the time you are preparing to indulge in the vice, while doing it and then, maybe even one time of going through the experience like this you will see the stupidity of the attraction and give it up.

O.K. Please write to the Blog in a general sense or open an account with another name eg. Captain Peacock.

We will edit this and put it on the Blog but your identity will be eliminated.

Jaya! Hari bolo! Krsna needs lots of help!!!!
