All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Krsna

All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitai

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Dear and Kind Guru Maharaja, firts of all allow me to put our stupid head beneath your most humble feet, we offer dandavats to you and Srila Prabhupada, over and over.  we also ask for the most merciful smack with a cane in the head.

     ASA - AGTSP paoho. Hmmm? What will come next! 

It has long been since our last conversation. Im so sorry for not writing sooner. We've been in the north of chile, kidnap by our family. we try to scape to braja, but our sentimentalism is bigger than our common sense. 

Family is fine, Gopal, Vrinda, Madhumati, Dayamani, Hari Bhakta all trying to survive. our health is not the best, many nerve problems, but getting better. its amazing how much our torerance to frustration has increase.

our  2 younger babies are completly insane, i think they think they are monkeys, the wild kind.  so we try to civilize them, and on that path we may  have become a lot like a gereral of the german army. 

We have tickets to Go back to Vrindavana the first days of may. if Srimati Radharani let us go, we had tickets before and we could not go!

plan is to stay there for a month and move to Rishikesh, we all would like to take a teacher training course in Yoga, Hatha yoga. and then maybe darmashala or Kerela for Tibetan/Ayurveda school and maybe a holy vaisnava safari in family.  

Our family (mom) is buying for us a land with a restaurant and the possibility of a Hotel in San pedro de Atacama, Chile.  very near where our family live in chile, so we can make a living and pay for college for kids (Gopal is 16!!!)  and after 10 years retreat to the holly Dham with a pension.    So we manage to convince family  to let us go for a year to India. and after that come back and make a nice self sustainable eco/turism farm.  its really high in the mountains and theres not much people, few hundred families but so many tourists. no contamination, no buildings, native people.  hope is a good idea.

We read your letters and ask all the time to Srimati Radharani to protect you, we dream about our spiritual master very  often, maybe most of those times out of guilt. but very nice dreams, so many answers.

right now we are writting with one hand and fighting and blocking babies with the other one. 

Hope you are well, so much preach, so much seva, so much inspiration Guru Maharaja. Thank you for being our fuel and source of inspiration.

At your feet,

Cakori Radha Devi dasi

                 HpS - Hmmm.  Very good news, but the Japa!!!  Otherwise you are all going to take birth as Indra and Saci devi in your next life!

Agt SP!

Agt Guru Y Gauranga!

Agt Radha Y Krsna!

Agt Gurudeva!

Pamho Maharaja.....o..

Hare Krsna Maharaja, soy B.Pablo del Parikrama, de España.

Sorry to write so quickly, but I would like to tell all my external situation exactly, because many times I am too introspective.

!6 rondas, 4 principios, Mangala arati ( no 2 days, I was extremely bodily tired ), Gaura arati and so happy, sooo sooo happy, but internally. Externally, I am in a heavy situation, but if but if I stand a little more, it'll all be gone, I explain ...

The government has spent months trying to not pay me my share (lol), can not, but they bother me delaying payments (6 months now), by these and other things, I could not pay a fine who got put Virginia (soon I hope to pay it), but I have to go to prison 60 days, is little little money, but the law is the law...haw haw haw and I don´t want my family money more, . This don´t disturbe me anything, really, except that not rot to go to India to Nrshimha to see Radha Krishna Dham and Sadhus....also is that I will to lose the money of the tickets, but really really that is any important to me. Actually I want go in Damodara more...will see what happen ( sure thing I will do. So I have to think and so I'm always thinking. You have taught me well maharaja. )

Virginia is fully possessed by his situation. In a very critical moment of his life, he decided to put his trust in a number of holes, materialists people, and it will cost much personal suffering that decision...

The only reason I do not go elsewhere is Varuna. It is a great person, very sensitive and it deserves the best. I can not leave him among the "pack of hyenas". Now he have 6 to 7 years, within 4 or 5 years, will take about 10 years, then I will continue my path and Varuna decide on its way.

I have many economic problems mainly because I deliberately decided to work with the family, evil doing. Are completely misguided. My father thinks I'm possessed and every time I start to pray Hare Krishna he show like he were praying with the rosary, but he is looking the tv...jajaja so pity. Is totally possessed for his gross gross desires.

My young brother is a nice person but is with the moon at 0 %, then his mind is like the wind and is totally controled for my father, like a child. Now whenever is laughing like mad, because he thinks I can control his mind ... jajaja. Like me elder brother, he live in Boston, had important job he is boss in chip design in a large company of fools, who has taught him that the world can only advance by slaves ... lol totally crazy because of his position and wealth. I laugh at them, all crazy.

A lot of people, many people have much envy me because I'm very independent and I have very very straight. I always say what I think, and if your  company is unbearable I continued " as a ñu "

Like my town, less that 500 persons, very close people, they only only eat fresh, uuuugggg....if you don´t eat meat, drink, and have pig-sex are crazy, any speak to me becouse I am crazy and I do black magic...my Japa, and chant " Hare Krsna "...black magic...jajaja. Are crazy.

If all goes well, within 1 or 2 months everything started very well resolved. I've spent years enduring this, I will not leave now, even if I get into prison, lol I laugh. Consciously or unconsciously all want to I stay away from my son.

When I finish my "obligation", I'll go to not ever back  if Krsna permits. Only Nama Sankirtana, single, Hare Krsna Hare Rama, Hare Krsna Hare Rama .... o ..

This years en medio I wish doing Sankirtan, preaching and distributing Maha-prasadam from my Nice Deaties.

Sorry for the letter soo long, butI have years without tell You details, are sooo horrible, You are not for that, I think, You give me Krsna, Realitation, and I have one eternal deb with You, I do not expect the stupid fools understand it, either my family or other.

Yours, at Your feet, Your servant B. Pablo.

Hare Krsna!

                   HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. Thank you for Enlglish translation. Helps a lot. Seems you are going ahead very, very well with a big battle. It took the Pandavas years to solve their problems but Krsna was using them.

Japa principles, GOOD morning program and get some good counselors, eg. Jayanta, Jara mara, Dandva, so many there. Yadu Swami. Then it will all have been benefit.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias para Srila Prabhupada!

Agradecida por Su última visita en Santiago. Al esucharlo, pude entender un poco más qué significa realmente ser discípulo. Honestamente, yo estoy muy lejos de ser considerada un discípulo Suyo, pero quisiera convertirme en una discípula.

-16 rondas diarias. Mucho mejor que el año 2013. Completando rondas al día siguiente mucho menos. De un 70% a un 40%. Ajustando para llegar a un 0% de deuda.

-Gayatri mantra. Mucho mejor que le año 2013. Esforzando por cantar en el horario.

-4 principios. Relaciones sexuales dentro del matrimonio reguladas. Desde hace 1 año y 3 meses apróx. (No sólo para procrear hijos concientes de Krsna, pero sin mucha necesidad de satisfacer ese impulso).

    ASA - Oink! These are such silly things, no? So ridiculous for the soul. Like someone addicted to heroin. The sure cure is to the austerity of worshiping your Deities, nice clothes, nice ornaments, nice perfumes, then animal friction seems more and more tasteless. It is actually unnatural, but never stop chanting Hare Krsna.

-Servicio en el templo. Atención a las deidades, 4 veces al mes. Organizando obra para Gaura Purnima.

   HpS - ASA -- Ooop! Touching the Deities? Arati? This will only agitate your illicit desire more! Don't touch the Deities for one year after breaking principles.

-Esporádica lectura de Krsna Book y Srimad Bhagavatam. Ajustando para mejorar.

- No estoy siguiendo ceremonia de Mangal-arati <img alt="sad" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png" title="sad" width="23" />.

-Tulasi crece en casa. Por primera vez alcanza los 10cm de alto <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />. Muy feliz.

-La adoración para Radha Gopinathaji aún espera por nosostros <img alt="sad" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png" title="sad" width="23" />. Falta algo de ropa para ellos.

-Contactando a Prabhu Laksman Agraja para conocer el estudio de BVB de éste año.

Preguntas:

¿Cómo me puedo convertir en una discípula de primera clase?

¿Ud. está satisfecho con mi proceso hasta ahora?

¿Cómo puedo hacer para que mi hijo interiorice bien su conciencia de Krsna, o la acepte en su vida de manera natural?

Esperando se encuentre siempre bien de salud.

Priya Sakhi DD

HpS - ASA --- Keep with the Japa but start going to sleep early and getting up early. Mangala arati is the best Deity worship. Have nice picture of Krsna and Dance enthusiastically. Like Olympic stars. Very soon will follow all four principles.

Delayed News from south cone :o)

10 years, 9 months ago by Bhaktina Romi in Personal Sadhana Reports

All Glories to Sri Sri Gauranga Nitiananda
All Glories to HDG Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to you Guru Maharaja.

Please accept my humble obeisances to yours and Srila Prabhupada’s holy lotus feet.

   HpS - ASA -- We got loco's feet.

Hare Krsna.
16 rounds ok
4 pples strictly ok.
Morning Program: No. Firm compromise to fix soon.
Sorry for my delay to write, many feelings like i told you in the meeting in the temple. Frustration still here, but things get better and better. I went  to BalaramaPuri (ParamPadam and Ananta camping project)  for holidays. Here I meet some old devotees who help me a lot to follow Your instruction about prioritize.  They inspired me and told me many pastimes they've past in CK, and how they feel about that. Its make me be more deep and not so superficial in certain issues. I meditate a lot about your visit, about feelings with Krsna, with Holy names… and my stone heart… working on it (many dust accumulated). Guru Maharaja I came from my travel, more reflexive about the situations thats I have to pass to be more deep. Please bless me to never forget feel, never forget be consciousness of the lord.
I want to apologize about the faults in my service, during your visit. 


Thanks GuruMaharaja for enlighten my way to follow the process.
Your disciple who aspire to be your servant
Rati Manjari Devi Dasi

               HpS - ASA --- AGTSP. Old letter. Nice. Thank you, but what's happening now? You are a revoluntionairy. You can't be happy with a dull life.

Begging for your mercy, just like the prodigal son

10 years, 9 months ago by Christian in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna!

All glories to Sankirtana movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

All glories to patita pavana Srila Prabhupada

All glories to their bona fide representative

I pray to Krsna never allow me to get so away from you that your merciful instructions get unable to touch my hard like stone heart.

I tried to feel myself the owner of my own life, after suffering a lot, i realized that the only chose i have is wether to accept Krsna's arrangements or to cry like a baby while i see my life moving along.

I'm so sorry for taking SO LONG without writting, i felt like a child who try to hide from his daddy when he makes mistakes, thinking that his dad is not mercyful and he cannot correct any mistake in life!

Aravinda Prabhu allowed me to move to Uruapan for this 3 months (starting in 15 january) so i could be helped by Murli Manohara Dasa, a disciple of HH Bhaktisundar Gosvami, he is psichologist; im taking almost 2 therapy sesions each week, and i will take a course named "Inner Transformation" he has very present Vedic perspective in his work and life, very advanced devotee and im getting really better, we are also entering to the yoga classes he gives, 2 days/week 2 classes each day, felling more and more the benefits of staying away from Passion mode of nature.

Dear Gurudeva, this months have been of GREAT test,most of them, i failed, now i see something good from the result of those failures:

-Finally i spoke Prabhu Aravinda about getting out of ther ashrama, it was not the best way, but i apologize properly and he said its fine that i expressed that at least, so i will get some devotees support and move forward in my projects to serve Krsna.

-I got removed from BBT's service, (regarding this, even though i know it was because of MY own lack of responsability, i felt used just for the last year's SB edition MARATHON, and then thrown away; im already working in this feeling), maybe in some years when i learn more responsability i can ask for some mercy again =D

-which leads to my desition of stopping philology studies, because i was doing that only for BBT's purpports, so i will wait next semester to enter Pedagogy in Queretaro city (im planning my living there).

-Not everything is bad news, thanks to your mercy and devotees blessings, in this SP Marathon, i was able to inspire the birth of a Bhakti-yoga meeting twice a month in Queretaro city, devotees from Mexico and Cueramaro are engaged to go once a month each, so our visits will reduce to once a month wich doesn't takes so much time away. Also i asked my dear brother Aniruddha Dasa to come to the program whenever he wants  =o)

-This leads to the next project wich is, after some more months living in Cueramaro, arround september, starting an olistic centre of all kind of therapies as a preaching center with Krsna west bases, during this months i will be entering skype meetings with mother Alaksya DD (disciple of HH Hridayananda Dasa Gosvami, and the one who invited me to this project) and also her god-brothers and some devotees we are asking to join giving ayur-vedic therapies and so on, for the purpport of establishing mission and vision of this project, start doing the proper arrangements and deals so everybody knows our exact service in the project. is this point ok?

-Last point, even though Aravinda Prabhu already gave me flag to start moving forward and making my own arrangements for life, im little bit affraid to speak with him about my real situation, im formalizing a relationship with a devotee, she is almost same time in the movement as me, and, excuse me to say it, but im very eager to have her as my wife to advance in KC and raising a preaching center in Queretaro along with the devotees, so their guru's and you can go and preach a lot of peopple, actually this is very important to me to speak with you, because no-one else knows this, im very confident into you dear Gurudeva, she hasn´t tell her guru due to "not cause me problems with my authorities", still, we have been having a bit of problems because of holding that as a secret, which reduces communication,(reason enough to stop hidding and tell my authorities about my willings), added to the fact we live in very distant cities with no option of seeing each other by all this time, (maybe she can go to México city for your transcendental visit!). what do you think?

Please gide me and tell me your opinnion in the diferent subjects, and tell me if you should like/hold on more details of any of them so you can instruct me propperly.

One last question... and this one i hope you can tell me whether you would like it or not, i was thinking about taking one month to go to murpheshboro for staying near from you, learning how to serve you best, i wanted to do this before i start the Queretaro project because im confident that will give me streght enough to try to serve you and Srila Prabhupada through this kind of preaching.

Yasya prasadad Bhagavat prasada

Yasaprasadan na gatih ku to 'pi

by your mercy i can achieve Sreya, the maximum benefit!

But without your mercy i can not advance even one inch to the goal of my life.

Your very very very very exempt of good qualities servant

Krsna-kirtan Dasa

HpS - - Jaya. AGTSP. Paoho. This letter is quite old now, no? What is the situation now? I think I answered other letters that you wrote after this. It's nice to look at old letters like this and think, "Wow, things have changed so much".
In general its best to find a peaceful situation and continue with 1st initiation vows for at least one year before trying to enter Grhastha ashrama. Otherwise we are most likely to judge it on the basis of personal gratification rather than what is really good for gratifying Krsna. Then associating with the opposite sex really means the connection of two families not just two people. He and she should get to know the family and friends of each other and look it as them joining to families.

That's just a little advice.

Hope to see the current news from you. We are get better at answering our mail now that we are one place.
You are mad, I am mad, she is mad, Aravinda is mad... Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada!!!!!

Life updates

10 years, 9 months ago by Rashmin dd in Personal Sadhana Reports, Calendar Development

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for your clarification on my last letter. I got it!!

I know you are very busy and I can wait for your reply when you have time. We want to let you know that we are moving from Toronto to Calgary on April 1st. The main reason being that we want to pay off our student loans and will have an easier time doing so whilst living with my parents. Also Yogendra will be going to school in the fall to study education. If you do plan on attending Toronto Ratha Yatra we will visit during your visit and try to serve you and get your association :) 

Our daughter is three months old now and still growing. She is very sweet and everytime I show her our home deities she looks at Lord Nityananda!! I think she recognises him.

                HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. We are finally settling in one place. Thank you all for the news. Who is your baby? Is she Jahnavi Devi??

My rounds are improving but I have so many to catch up on. The four principles are intact. 

I hope I will be able to see you this year. Below is a photo from earlier this month of Audharya and husband.

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali devi dasi

            HpS - AGTSP. We hope the money gets settled easily with an opportunity to preach along with it. Education is a super diploma. Look for good teachers!!!

Very nice photo. Ooof, such a little body. I guess Momma Wolf is ready to rip anybody to pieces who tries to mess with her. <img alt="devil" height="24" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="24" /> So easy to be a devotee. So natural!

It looks like we will be in D.C. for Rama vijay, like the 8th October and maybe Vancouver like Janmastami or Rathayatra.
