Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my obeisances .  

Agtsp.

Is camilo from bs.as again.

Still here in Sydney, and probably moving to govindas ashram (linked with govindas restaurant) in 3 weeks, or hopefully less time. So I'm very happy to have this chance to move to the ashram because I will be able to serve you and sankirtana movement more deeply, basically the way I'm going to live here is doing sankirtana as a service and as an alternative instead of working with the karmis and all that. I'm having a good time and nice association with great devotees here as much as I can, which is really inspiring and auspicious.

I spent one week on new gokula farm, and that was one of the things that made me reconsider that I have to give something to the harinama sankirtana movement. Regards to doing mangalarati in my house, well I did it a couple of days but I couldn't stay awake. But from now on, is being easy to do it due to the sanga I'm having and the sanga I will have. Rounds: now I'm chanting every day and wanted to get them done before my day starts .There was a few days I didn't chant, but fortunately i had completed them in the following days.

                HpS - ASA - Jaya!!!!

I'm realizing and remembering how much important it is to chant ,and to do it in the early morning asap. Reading: well I'm going back to the great bhagavad gita, with my sights set on memorizing verses, for me it is hard to read continously, that's why I think I would have to do bhakti sastri asap. But here is no much chance, cause it is just for bramhacaris. And some devotees had encouraged me to go to mayapur and do it there. I think is a good idea. But also I would like to know if you are going to be there soon or not so soon. so I can travel and see you. .. If you want.

    HpS - Look at calendar in Kapi Dhvaja!!!

Principles : well, actually I'm trying to be conscious that accomplish this principles is the best way to live in peace and bliss. I know that in some cases I still thinking that I am going to fall,but it is hard to stop the subtle sex all the time. And yes, making an effort to avoid the internal meditation on senses objects.

                 HpS - Four principles are moral situation. They make our life peaceful. As soon as we break them it is like eating poison food. We have bad reaction and becomes hard to chant, read. As we read, chant with four principles we get clear knowledge of why they are good and we follow automatically.

Well I hope don't forget anything. I am so new in this, that I don't even know if it is written properly or not, I mean, what I ought report, and so on. Thanks for your time Maharaja, please accept my obeisances and apologies for not being able to follow everything you said, I will try to understand in depth, what is give the best for Krishna. Agtsp, hare Krishna. Trying to be your servant, camilo.

     HpS - ASA -- Is very good news. Please send some news about the Temple, prominent people!!! Find a friend and start to read together and discuss a little. Get few more friends!

ALL GLORIES TO SRI  SRI SRI GAURA NITAI 

TLGSP, AND MY RESPECTFUL OBEISSANCES TO YOU GM! 

I don't want to write so followed gm im selfish on my part, I know that has a lot to respond to the other disciples and much service, but how do you health? :o

     HPS - ASA --- AGTSP. Well, at least a few lines every now and then. We Really wish that we are in BsAs. How is Bharata Das?

 The word arrhythmia is formed with Greek roots and means "one who has no rhythm" their lexical components are the prefix A-without(negation) rithmos (pace) plus the suffix IA (quality, action)

 But you guru maharaja has pace much! I hope that it will improve.

HpS - ASA - Doctor say is mostly just stress. We try to adjust. Work hard but not to hard. Is just like running old machine. New machine is waiting. Good one if we use this one well.

Guru maharaja thank you for your previous letter ... i can't be more happy when I read your answers! I spoke with the authorities to live in the temple, I am happy, I continue with my studies of music, but I live in the temple.

Be all the days in the pujari with the brahmacarinis i learn a lot, clean, take prasadam, read, sing, dance, we laughed a lot! It is nice! ........One last thing gm why am I jealous? Insecurity is?

HpS - Could be many reasons. Basic reason is because we want to compete with Krsna. Good way to fight it is to help person of whom you are jealous with their service, even a little. If it is small thing then don't worry. General Yoga will remove it.

          Once more my respectful obeisances to you gm!  Trying to serve with bad face.. Ter Kadamba devi dasi

    HpS - Jaya! Let's read three more letters! Thank you. How's Bharata Das?

Gracias Guru Maharaja por las baterias!!!!!!YS

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to S. S. Hanumatpresaka Swami. 
Please accept my humble obeisances at the lotus feet of Guru Maharaja. 

This letter is translated with google, also is under the Spanish 

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva, I hope you are well, personally for his mercy'm having many very nice embodiments and this gives me so much enthusiasm and happiness.
learned the Sanskrit word for word and the glorification of the six Goswamis. Srimad Bhagavatam 4 went back to singing and I'm in the cpitulo 7. 

I'm in Buenos Aires Temple Brahmacaris associating with in the previous letter I told him that I was traveling with Panca Tattva to Brazil, but I have confirmed that I will not be able to go. Monday in theory deliver the visa for me to study in India, we will see that ocurre.la idea is to go to the first days of September to Mayapur 

In Mayapur, I am in contact with Sudama Sakha (hps) and Haridas Caitanya (JPS), they are helping me with everything from alla 

thought i was investigating the vegan and have found some points antagonists philosophy of Krishna consciousness and religion in general, I think the devotees who wish to take dairy, this may be right, and makes sense. But I think it is wrong that the devotees are called vegans around thinking what this includes. 

I was also investigating the monastic rule of St. Benedict of Nursia, and Isaias Strip. maybe this made me think that in the future would have to be in ISKCON monasteries clear that as movement preaches, it would be with the same scheme, but this would help in the development of Varna Ashram Dharma that ISKCON needs to mature. 

Thanks for everything 
your servant 
Adi Das Yajna

Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada!!!.
Toda gloria a S.S. Hanumatpresaka Swami.
Por favor acepte  mis humildes reverencias a Sus pies de loto Guru Maharaja.

Esta carta va traducida con el google, tambien esta debajo el español

Hare Krishna Querido gurudeva,espero se encuentre bien,en lo personal por su misericordia  estoy teniendo muchas realizaciones muy lindas y esto me da tanto entusiasmo y felicidad.
aprendi el sanskrito  y el palabra por palabra de  la glorificación de los seis gosvamis. volvi al Srimad Bhagavatam  4 canto ya estoy en el cpitulo 7.

    HpS - ASA - Moooo!   y Bien!!! Hermosa oraciones de Senor Brahma a Senor Siva. Vaisnavanam atha Sambhu!

Estoy en el templo de Buenos Aires asociandome con los Brahmacaris, en la carta anterior le comente que viajaba con Panca Tattva a Brasil, pero he confirmado que no voy a poder ir. Este lunes en teoria me entregan la visa para ir a estudiar a India,vamos a ver que ocurre.la idea es ir para los primeros dias de septiembre a Mayapur

En Mayapur, estoy en contacto  con Sudama Sakha(hps) y Haridas Caitanya(JpS), ellos me estan ayudando en todo desde alla 

estube  investigando  el pensamiento vegano y he encontrado algunos puntos antagonistas a la filosofia de la conciencia de Krishna y las religiones en general, pienso que los devotos que no desean tomar lacteos, esto puede ser correcto , y tiene su sentido. Pero pienso que es incorrecto que los devotos se llamen veganos por todo lo que esta pensamiento incluye.

              HpS - Como yo entiendo, si estamos viviendo en el bosque, tranquilo, como adultos podemos vivir en raizes y frutas etc. Pero ser Brahmanas como consejeros para el Rey, Vastu, y muy fuerte luchando mentalmente con Mayavadis, entonces la azucar y grasa en leche es essential.

Tambien estube investigando la regla monastica de San Benito de Nurcia, y de isaias de Gaza. quizas esto me hizo pensar que en un futuro en iskcon tendria que haber monasterios, claro que como movimiento de predica , no seria con el mismo esquema, pero esto ayudaria en el desarrollo del Varna Asram Dharma que iskcon necesita madurar.

      ASA - Si, nosotros tambien investigando un poco. Prabhupada preguntando de monjes buenos acerca de sus metodos de Brahmacaria y todo en el Occidente, y ellos de India. Ha leido "Imitation of Christ" por Tomas Akempis?

Gracias por todo
Su sirviente
Adi Yajña Das 

                   HpS - Muy bien. Y como esta Hermano Bharata Das???  El Templo? Maha-hari Das??  Claro, hay problemas, eso es el mundo material.

Vivan Guru y Gauranga !

Viva Srila Prabhupada !

Vivan Sri Sri Radha y Krsna !

Mis reverecias Maharaja!, Hare Krsna !

Soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de España.

Maharaja, por favor, me gustaria que esta carta no saliera publica en el Blog, gracias.

    HpS - ASA - AGTSP!   O.K. We have to learn how to get strength from local devotees. We don't think that the traffic lights in the street are great devotees, but we take so much instruction from them. We risk our lives following their instructions: Go, Stop! So learn to understand the good and bad qualties of devotees and then use that to help you obtain the ultimate aim of life described by Lord Caitanya.

Again with Uruguay

Dearmost Srila Hanumatpresaka Maharaja, 

Obeisances. Jay Srila Prabhupada!

My fellow friend, Rasamrita Sesa dasa, opened a preaching center in Uruguay, inspired in the new preach strategies. 

Then, we realiced, again, about how important is Your visit for inspiration and guide. 

Rasamrita`s guru, Krishna Ksetra Prabhu, is happy with this project. 

Then, at least for one or two days, You could inspire the devotees in educational programs. The last guru who do that was Dhanvantari Swami, and the devotees love it. 

Of course, arranges in academical fields can be made, according to your dates. 

Also, you have already an uruguayan disciple (Syamananda Pandit -who can use 3 different passports-). 

About me: as usual. Doing bhakti sastri with Laksmana Agraja (I waited 18 years for this), working in La Cantuta as communication advisor, and never leaving the rules and goal. 

Consider this for your next trip to SA. 

Wishing You`re well, I remain as Your servant, 

Haribuddhi dasa

     HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. We are just starting to think about South American trip. Param-padam Das has program January in Cordoba. Schools are closed then, no? We are doing Carl Jung now. Please watch for news on that topic. The only thing in education preaching is to meet people and make friends. Understand how their understanding of reality fits into the SB and then help them advance.

You life sounds a lot more peaceful than before! More news as you have time.

Marcos from Madrid

11 years, 1 month ago by marcos in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaja!!
Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
Im Marcos from Madrid! How are you? I hope that you are fine in all aspects of your life!!
Here in Madrid all is Ok now the ashram is FULL of devotees and the Mangalartik and Gurupuja  are superextactic, the association is incredible!! Also we have the association of Swamis like Yadunandana Swami and Bhakti Gouravani Swami and senior devotees like Vayasaki Prabhu, Hari Sauri Prabhu, Akrura  Prabhu, Urmila Devi Dasi... and more!!
The principal reason why i write this letter is to give you a report of my sadhana:
5:00-7:30  Spiritual Morning program
7:30-8:00  I usually read some books now im reading: Brahmacarya in Krisna Conciouness from Bhakti Vikasa Swami
8:00-9:00 Gurupuja and S.B Class
9:00-10:15 Breakfast
10:30-12:30 Differents services like: shopping to restaurant, general cleaning, some phone calls, organize all the services of the day, talking with Jaramara about some plans of services for the devotees of the ashram, etc..
12:30-13:50 Studying of Bhakti Sastri, Playing instruments, reading or rest.
14:00-14:30 Checking if all is ready for the prasadam program.
14:30-15:00 Bhajan and conference
15:00- 17:00 Eating, Boutique, Help to serve prasadam, talk with the guests (its deppend of the day)
17:00-19:00 Boutique, reading, studiying, sometimes going to walk to a park... 
19:00-20:30 B.G class
20:30-21:15 Dinner and talking with the devotees about the day
21:30 Readding Teachings of Caitanya Mahaprabhu
22:00 Sleeping

My principal problem is that some days the rounds are some hard cause the dream attacks, i dont sleep cause i start to walk but its difficult to maintain the attention, please could you give some advices of  how could i regulate this? In the other hand other days the rounds are good and i dont have this problem.

                HpS - ASA -- You are falling asleep some days and have to walk to stay awake? It is common problem. Of course, just try to adjust schedule so that you can be rested during Japa time, but if you are tired then maybe you have to walk. So, many little tricks you can try. Try controling your breathing. Chant a certain number of Mantras for each breath, but main thing is to just be sincere and then Krsna will give us intelligence.

My plan for the nexths month is this:
The first week of August i will stay in the ratha yatra of the Canary islands, and the rest of the month i will go to Santander (the city where i was born) to visit family and friends its very possible that Jaramara will go to Santander in August maybe we can do some spiritual program together. Its possible that some devotees of Madrid come this month to Santander... Bhakta Holidays!! and in September i will return to Madrid. Is it ok?

HpS - ASA - Seems fine!

Some weeks ago i read that you have some problem with the dates of Pablo and me (something of a database)... Can i do something to solve this? Whats the situation about this topic? If you need i think that we could send again our dates or what you need...

             HpS - No, we have the information. I sent it to Namacharya Das. Now he has to post it on the Webpage. Thank you.

In the last letter you give me one advice: "Sankirtan according to your nature" How can i know what is my nature? For me this is very difficult, how could i discover this?

     HpS - Well, you can many different services and see what is your nature. Some people like to do grafik arts for Krsna, some are good at management. Arjuna was a Ksatriya so Krsna recomended he serve like that, not retire from the battlefield and write books.

Also, you can ge the opinion of others, devotees, even there are tests in university or from government about what is your nature.

Astrology may help, although Prabhupada said that it is very hard to find a good astologer now.

We can chant Hare Krsna and BG 10.9-11 will happen.

Hope to see you soon!! Some plans to come to Madrid? We are waiting you!!
Thanks for all Maharaja!! Hare Krishna!!

 

PD: Also i read that you need a Caitanya Caritamrita in spanish maybe this link help you, you can download to your pc, or smartphone.
