Bead bag, visions and Boise temple update

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


Thank you for your response to my letter. It has inspired a lot of discussion. Planning to talk more with Radhika Ramana Prabhu and Anantarupa Prabhu about ISKCON of Boise and The Hare Krsna Temple corporation in a few days when Radhika Ramana Prabhu is here in Boise. Anadi (TP) has many questions and thoughts on the matter. I’m just a simpleton when it comes to this stuff.


The cultural conquest in Boise Idaho is on its way though. Fixing our selves with the morning program and simply just refusing to give up and always putting:

 "Vaisnava relationships above managerial relationships." This is our challenge.


We also have a strong selfish desire just to have more like minded association, more locals, more life at our temple. I have had visions of devotees practicing mrdanga off in the distance, devotees working on art projects outside, gardeners and lively, radical morning and evening programs.


“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.” -Carl Jung


We had a very cool young bramachari visit recently named Brhat-Mrdanga Prabhu. He’s a disciple of Kalakantha Prabhu and he is one of the leading members in establishing Krishna Houses through out North America. I got alot of his association and we had a very nice meeting with him and Anatarupa Prabhu about having a Krishna House program here in Boise. We have a long way to go but the relationship with him has really developed and he will be visiting Boise regularly and is a great resource, well wisher and friend.


For now I am just working on getting trained to take over Kamalananda Prabhu’s maintenance position at the temple in January. Big big shoes to fill.


Thank you for telling me that Prabhupada considered Saint Francis to be a Bhakta. So amazing. We are so inspired by reading about his life and watching “Brother Sun Sister Moon” movie. Do you think he is more of an avadhuta?


HpS - Thank you. Other devotees also commenting about Boise. One very powerful comment was along the lines of what they taught us in the first year of Engineering curriculum, "If is works, don't fix it". 😃

Of course, enthusiasm is more important than patience, but without patience it all becomes passion! 👻


Seems St. Francis was more on Lord Nityananda's side than Advaita's.

Now is 5PM.

One more letter and go for a walk to Nila-Madhava Temple?


your aspiring servant,

Nitisara das

P.S. I would love to work with Jaga-guru Prabhu and help serve his vision in any way if it makes sense. I think there is great potential for the DTC films to be played in independent theaters and small film festivals here. From my own experience in the music world..I may have some zeros that could be utilized.


Thank you Gurudeva!


ASA - We will forward a link to this post to him.

Max's song


Dear Guru Maharaja, TgaSSGN . TGASP.


I hope you are well. I feel that you are very well. And said feeling waters this heart with freshness. Surprisingly, sadness invades us due to the supposed planned separation.

All glories to you.


HpS - Agt you. We consider you one of our mentors in life. Thank you.


We continue breathing and remembering at intervals that the oxygenation of our blood is not worth it if the air that enters the lungs is not impregnated with the transcendental vibration of the holy Names.


ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/2/3/18/



Thanks to Krishna and the great Vaisnavas we have managed to notice the busy loneliness of this world. And that the human body has the blessed potential to become like the dagger that can definitively put an end to the dark desire to enjoy envy, or, on the contrary, take us to the darkest regions of creation.


The +1728 /4 are loaded with freshness and enthusiasm. And despite the deficiencies typical of a fallen soul like this... we see progress, and we cannot help but feel infinitely grateful to SP for his incomparable contribution to humanity. We humbly try to cooperate with our grain of sand.

“It is sometimes said that by meditating, one will understand that God is always sitting within the heart, even when one does not know it.” (Practicing yoga in the era of quarrels “The science of self-realization by SP)


And at the end of the paragraph, SP continues instructing us…

“He is present not only in everyone's heart, but also within the atoms. No place is vacant; “no place exists without the presence of the Lord.”


Does it mean then… that by obtaining the mercy of the pure devotee of Krishna, we simultaneously obtain permission from the Lord to see Him everywhere? Without a doubt ¡yes…¡ TgSP

(No wonder then that someone as fortunate as HPS is seeing all the vast Vedic knowledge in one invisible inkblot.) pamho

Basically at second initiation we can start taking our intuition seriously, no? Of course, we confirm it with Guru, Sadhu and Sastra!!


                                                                                    …......


…Once: Max, who at that time was helping in the demolition of a dome, said that he had opened the Bhagavad Gita (as it is) only with the intention of reading something… and that by “chance” the book opened in the Chapter 8 text 17 –


“According to human calculations, the sum of a thousand eras constitutes the duration of one day of Brahma. And that is also the length of your night.”

After Max read the text and the meaning. He wrote in his intimate diary...



                                                                                    MAX SONG

The top bricks fell first

It will now be possible to undo the plot that surrounds the pinnacle more easily.

SP-The duration of the material universe is limited. This duration is manifested in cycles of kalpas. A kalpa is a day of Brahmā, and a day of Brahmā consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas, or eras: Satya, Tretā, Dvāpara and Kali.-


Just as the shell of an egg loses its epitome when one of its nimbus is pierced.

The resistance that characterizes the self-supporting shape of the domes or half-point.

It gets weak.


SP-The Satya cycle is characterized by virtue, wisdom and religion, with practically no ignorance or vice existing in it, and the yuga lasts 1,728,000 years. In the Tretā-yuga vice is introduced, and this yuga lasts 1,296,000 years. In the Dvāpara-yuga there is a still greater decline of virtue and religion, with vice on the rise, and this yuga lasts 864,000 years. And finally, in the Kali-yuga (the yuga in which we have been living for the last 5,000 years), there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, with true virtue practically non-existent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years . -


Inside the dome there was a minimum percentage of humidity…

When the remaining segments of masonry began to collapse

A cloud of dust blended beautifully with the Sun's rays.

At the same time the insects on the ground moved in a daze.


SP-In the Kali-yuga the vice increases to such an extent that at the end of the yuga the Supreme Lord Himself appears as the Kalki avatara, destroys the demons, saves His devotees and begins another Satya-yuga.


After a moment... the top of the dome completely collapsed

The unique thunderous sound after the collapse

The vibration of the ground and wind…

He provided the irreproachable vision of the cosmic manifestation, devastating us in a flash.


SP- Then the process starts again

SP-According to earthly calculations, those "hundred years" amount to a total of 311,040,000,000,000 earth years. According to these calculations, Brahmā's life seems fantastic and endless, but from the point of view of eternity it is as fleeting as lightning.


-At that moment Max thought.

When I contemplate this scene I understand that my body…

Just like other bodies formed by various combinations of elements

It will completely lose its shape and appearance.

I notice exactly what is now in front of me...


 SP- In the Causal Ocean there are countless Brahmās that arise and disappear like bubbles in the Atlantic. Brahmā and his creation are all part of the material universe and are therefore in constant flux.- 


                                                                     A PILE OF RUBBLE


The cells that make up the epidermis of this body are shed second by second.

How dry leaves fall off trees during autumn


And, transported by the wind along with the dust of the Earth... they come to an end.

This dome has already been dismantled.


SP- “However, Brahma is directly engaged in the service of the Supreme Lord in the administration of this universe, and, consequently, he immediately attains liberation.”

Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare - Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare


                                                                     …………..


Thank you very much Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet

We anxiously wait to see him in our dreams.

HpS/ASA - Who is your translator?

16/4 done grossly is knocking the outer covering off the shell?




Querido Maharaja, TgaSSGN . TGASP.


Espero que te encuentres bien. Siento que tú estás muy bien. Y dicho sentir riega de frescura a este corazón.


Sorpresivamente nos invade el quebranto por la supuesta separación prevista.

Todas las glorias a ti.


Continuamos respirando y recordando a intervalos que la oxigenación de nuestra sangre no vale la pena si en caso el aire que ingresa a los pulmones no se halla impregnado con la vibración trascendental de los santos Nombres.

 

Gracias a Krisna y a los grandes vaisnavas hemos logrado advertir la soledad tan concurrida de este mundo. Y que el cuerpo humano cuenta con el potencial bendito de volverse como el puñal que puede acabar definitivamente con el oscuro deseo de disfrutar la envidia, o bien, por el contrario, llevarnos a las regiones más tenebrosas de la creación.

  

 Las +1728 /4 se cargan con frescura y entusiasmo. Y pese a las deficiencias propias de un alma caída como esta… vemos progreso, y no pudiendo menos que sentirnos infinitamente agradecidos con SP por su incomparable aporte a la humanidad. Intentamos cooperar humildemente con nuestro granito de arena.

                                                                        ……………………………                                                      


“A veces se dice que, al meditar, uno entenderá que Dios está siempre sentado dentro del corazón, incluso cuando no lo sabe”. (Practicando yoga en la era de riña “La ciencia de la auto realización por SP)

 Y al final del párrafo, SP continúa instruyéndonos…


“Él está presente no solo en el corazón de todos, sino también dentro de los átomos. Ningún lugar está vacante; ningún lugar existe sin la presencia del Señor”.


  ¿Quiere decir entonces… que, obteniendo la misericordia del devoto puro de Krisna, obtenemos simultáneamente el permiso por parte del Señor para poder verlo a Él en todas partes? Sin duda que si¡¡ … TgSP


(No nos resulta sorprendente entonces que alguien tan afortunado como HPS esté viendo todo el extenso conocimiento védico en una invisible mancha de tinta.)


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


…Una vez: Max, que por aquel entonces ayudaba en la demolición de un domo, contó que había abierto la Bhagavad Gita (tal como es) solamente con la intención de leer algo… y que por “casualidad” el libro se abrió en el Capítulo 8 texto 17 –


 “En función de los cálculos humanos, el conjunto de mil eras constituye la duración de un día de Brahma. Y esa es también la duración de su noche”.

Luego de que Max leyera el texto y el significado. Escribió en su diario íntimo…



                                               CANCIÓN DE MAX


Los ladrillos de la parte superior cayeron primero


Será posible ahora deshacer la trama que ciñe al pináculo con mayor facilidad.


SP-La duración del universo material es limitada. Esa duración se manifiesta en ciclos de kalpas. Un kalpa es un día de Brahmā, y un día de Brahmā consta de mil ciclos de cuatro yugas, o eras: Satya, Tretā, Dvāpara y Kali.-


Al igual que la cascara de un huevo pierde su epítome al perforarse uno de sus nimbos


La resistencia que caracteriza la forma auto portante de los domos o medio punto.


Se debilita.


SP-El ciclo de Satya se caracteriza por la virtud, la sabiduría y la religión, sin que en él prácticamente exista la ignorancia y el vicio, y el yuga dura 1.728.000 años. En el Tretā-yuga se introduce el vicio, y este yuga dura 1.296.000 años. En el Dvāpara-yuga hay una declinación aún mayor de la virtud y la religión, con el vicio en aumento, y este yuga dura 864.000 años. Y, finalmente, en el Kali-yuga (el yuga en el que hemos estado viviendo durante los últimos 5.000 años), hay una abundancia de contienda, ignorancia, irreligión y vicio, con la virtud verdadera prácticamente inexistente, y este yuga dura 432.000 años. -


En el interior del domo había un mínimo porcentaje de humedad…

Cuando los restantes segmentos de mampostería comenzaron a desplomarse

Una nube de polvo se amalgamó bellamente con los rayos del Sol.

      Al tiempo en que los insectos en el suelo se movían aturdidos.


SP-En el Kali-yuga el vicio aumenta hasta tal punto, que al terminar el yuga el propio Señor Supremo aparece como el avatāra Kalki, destruye a los demonios, salva a Sus devotos y comienza otro Satya-yuga-


Seguido un instante… se precipitó por completo la parte superior de la cúpula

El singular sonido estruendoso tras el derrumbe

La vibración del suelo y ventolina …


Aportó la visión irreprochable de la manifestación cósmica devastándonos en un santiamén.


SP- Luego, el proceso se pone en marcha de nuevo

SP-Según los cálculos terrenales, esos «cien años» ascienden a un total de 311.040.000.000.000 de años terrestres. De acuerdo con esos cálculos, la vida de Brahmā parece fantástica e interminable, pero desde el punto de vista de la eternidad es tan fugaz como la luz del relámpago.


-En ese momento Max pensó…


Al contemplar esta escena entiendo que mi cuerpo…


 Tal como los demás cuerpos formados por diversas combinaciones de elementos


  perderá por completo su conformación y su apariencia.


Advierto exactamente lo que hay ahora frente a mí…


SP- En el océano Causal hay infinidad de Brahmās que surgen y desaparecen como las burbujas en el Atlántico. Brahmā y su creación son todos parte del universo material y, por consiguiente, están en flujo constante.-



                                                      UN CÚMULO DE ESCOMBROS



  Las células que conforman la epidermis de este cuerpo se desprenden segundo a segundo.


Como las hojas secas se desprenden de los árboles durante el otoño


Y que, transportadas por el viento junto con el polvo de la Tierra… llegan a su fin.


 

 

                                      Ya se ha desmantelado este domo.


                                         


SP- “Sin embargo, Brahma está dedicado directamente al servicio del Señor Supremo en la administración de este universo, y, en consecuencia, logra de inmediato la liberación.”

   

                                                                    TgaSP


Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare - Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare



                                                                     ……….

Muchas gracias Maharaja. Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias a sus pies

 Esperamos con ansiedad verlo en nuestros sueños.

Trying to summarize my life

1 year, 6 months ago by rohini in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva,

My respected Gurudeva, please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

All glory to Srila Prabhupada!

I always wish you the best for your health.

Om namo Bhagavate Narasimhaya!


HpS/ASA - Thank you, agtSP, for your regular association in the FMS online! Please help us improve it...


Special Priority

for Blog Posts

for Regular FMS associates!


Our "health" is a challenge.

"This body does not get diseases, this body is a disease", WRSPS.

 We need to end this body, but we need to use it to extract ourselves from it at the same time, no?


Yes, my dear Gurudeva, I think it can be my Sankirtan. I am trying to summarize my life of learning by seeing my existence in a broader context; then I allow myself to give greater meaning to my reflections. If I can finish it. I would like to give this report to You, to existence and to my Lord Krsna.


HpS/ASA - You might publish it in 'Solaris', the NIOS periodical. It needs a lot of help.

 

Now I have my attention on Swan Lake (story-ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky), the beauty of its content, the music and its dance and the ease with which it can be adapted to different interpretations.


ASA - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Pyotr-Ilyich-Tchaikovsky/Years-of-fame#ref719301

We have been paying $50/year to be Members of the Britannica.

Accepted by academics, no?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_Lake

Wikepedia is like the plough and Britannica is like the needle?


We wonder how many homosexuals, lesbians, would be so much happier if there was full development of Brahmacari Ashrama and Polygamy in society?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_ilGzPzoVo



Thus, I can see the search for the self. and the confusion that is experienced in the face of this fictitious envelope, well explained in the Bhagavad Gita As It Is by Srila Prabhupada in Chapter 2. How in the human person coexists, the good and the evil, outside and within himself, because everything that exists comes from GOD SB 4.8.3 and how that coexistence is a struggle to achieve the ‘YO’, integrating all the ‘yoes’ that fragment us. And return to Supreme God.

 

An elevation of consciousness with self-discipline, determination, patience… NOI 1-3. Guided by the love, the purity, the offering, THE DEVOTIONAL SERVICE.

 

In all ages great souls have given the message of the purpose of life in different ways. Yes, ART is mainly a good vehicle for the message, even if we are not artists, just by appreciating it we can learn. It is important to have a guide, for me you are my natural guide.


HpS/ASA - 🐷 ❗❗ AgtSP. We certainly try a little. Are your eternal servants!


My sadhana is improving every time, in depth. I am in the first draft, really every day it is created, I need to link, compare, harmonize, expand, the ideas that come to me.

 

What do you think of Gurudeva?


HpS - Thank you. Thank you. We made some humble comments above, no? We only hope to continue these dialogs more and more here.

We are very limited.

We should do one more Blog letter now and go for a walk to the Temple !!!


Thank you.

How is your family?

 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thank you very much for your attention Gurudeva, your time and mercy.

Your disciple

Ante narayana smrtih

Todas las glorias a nuestro Fundador Acarya A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda, autor del libro KRSNA, la Suprema Personalidad de Dios.

(Encabezo preferido porque viene de su inspiración y se ve mucho más especial)


Querido Gurumaharaja,

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias a sus sagrados pies de loto que están salvando nuestras vidas por haber tomado refugio en Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Mencionamos pies de loto porque no queremos preguntar cómo está uno de sus dedos, UD siempre es transparente y el Señor Nrisimhadeva le protege a cada paso.


Estuvimos esperando que llegue a Houston pero posiblemente lo encontremos más ocupado, disculpe por favor, esperamos no molestar mucho.

Estos días estuve releyendo algunas cartas de los usuarios del blog y hay tantas buenas instrucciones, aprendemos bajo la luz que emana sus palabras inspiradas por Srila Prabhupada, nos conecta al parampara, muchas gracias! al mismo tiempo vamos conociendo su posición en ISKCON, misma que hemos observado por años desarrollarse con pulcritud.


En la pasada clase para Spiritual Shakti, la importancia de los lugares sagrados, nos llevó al recuerdo cuando vivimos en el ashrama de Chosica mandir.

La primera vez que pude hablar con UD, me dió dos instrucciones prácticas:

•Un año después de iniciada sabrás si deseas o no casarte; y

• Vive tu vida espiritual intensamente.

Inmediatamente, por arreglo de Krsna o talvez mi destino, el novio me dijo "elige! tu Guru o yo" (fue extraño) pero sin dudar por un segundo lo elegí a usted y me mudé definitivamente al ashrama de madres entendiendo que era la mejor forma de intensidad, yo era muy joven con tantos errores propios de la juventud, hoy tomo la oportunidad para agradecerle infinitamente por esa guía, fueron los años más maravilloso de mi vida lleno de más aprendizaje que frustraciones porque usted siempre estuvo y está presente, hay tantos vaisnavas que agradecer, porsupuesto ha sido el inicio, hace mucho un devoto enfatizó que la vida espiritual no es como comienza sino como termina, ante narayana smrtih. Por favor sus bendiciones para que nuestras vidas puedan desarrollarse con un molde espiritual siguiendo su vani y vapuh y al final de esta vida lo volvamos a encontrar, encontrar a ud significa encontrar a Śrīla Prabhupāda, ese es nuestro camino a Krsna garantizado.

Lamentablemente por el tema de la visa no podremos viajar a Houston.

Porsupuesto también hemos tenido y continuamos con tantas pruebas pero no queremos lamentar demasiado porque las recompensas superan los desafíos.


Envío la foto de la octava cuenta para que me diga por favor si es un error que la tenga separada con un broche remanente de las Deidades, no está apretada, la cuenta tiene la misma fisura por ambas caras, tengo varios años así y posiblemente estoy cometiendo ofensas.

Puede ser que sea la preferida pero es porque las 8 principales gopis me acercan a Krsna.

Asaltantes de ómnibus me robaron mi japa de iniciación en un viaje de sankirtana, está japa la ofrecí a las Deidades del templo Krsna Balarāma de Vrndavan en el 2002.


Mi esposo no suele escribir mucho, pero si leer bastante los libros de Śrīla Prabhupāda y predicar, usualmente también participa de los programas en linea, le envía sus reverencias, él piensa que el acontecimiento del 2024 será que SS. Hanumatpresaka Swami conocerá a su discípulo formal sannyasi.


Actualización

Leímos el kapi dvaja

Futuro lejano

11-13 de enero , ASA/ HpS /Vyasa-puja

11º ¿Programa de Hogar? ¿ Enfoque en español ?

En México el Vyasa-puja también se celebra este día, será muy auspicioso tener su darshan. Pensamos que es buena propuesta en español para este lado del mundo si a uds les parece bien. Muchas gracias.

All glories to our Founder Acarya A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda, author of the book KRSNA, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

(Preferred header because it comes from your inspiration and looks much more special).


ASA - 🐶 🐈 🐻 AgtSP !


Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept our respectful obeisances to your sacred lotus feet [ASA - Lettuce feet] who are [One of the devotees] saving our lives by taking refuge in Śrīla Prabhupāda.


We mention lotus feet because we do not want to ask how one of your toes is, you are always transparent and Lord Nrisimhadeva protects you at every step.


HpS - We had so many suitcases open in our trailer in Tennessee that we tripped over one of them and our toes turned blue from the strike. Now we can rub the toes with not pain, but the tendons connecting the toes make some loud sharp noise when we rub them. Maybe the tendons and their base point on the foot was bruised?


We were waiting for you to arrive in Houston but we may find you busier, please excuse us, we hope we don't bother you too much.


HpS - No bother. We noted in the Kapi Dhvaja (agt Patraka Das and Antoinette) that was BIG move and BIG symposium from H. H. Roma pada Swami, but now we have our roots just getting connected in the ground.


These days I was rereading some letters from Blog users and there are so many good instructions, we learn under the light emanating from his words inspired by Srila Prabhupada, it connects us to the parampara, thank you very much! At the same time we are getting to know their position in ISKCON, which we have observed for years developing neatly.


In the last class for Spiritual Shakti, the importance of sacred places took us back to when we lived in the Chosica mandir ashrama.


The first time I was able to talk to you, you gave me two practical instructions:


•One year after it starts you will know whether or not you want to get married; and


• Live your spiritual life intensely.


Immediately, by Krsna's arrangement or perhaps my destiny, the groom told me "choose! Your Guru or me" (it was strange) but without hesitation for a second I chose you and I moved permanently to the mothers' ashrama understanding that it was the best form of intensity, I was very young with so many mistakes typical of youth, today I take the opportunity to thank you infinitely for that guide, they were the most wonderful years of my life, full of more learning than frustrations because you were always and are present, there are so many Vaisnavas to thank, of course it has been the beginning, long ago a devotee emphasized that spiritual life is not how it begins but how it ends, before narayana smrtih.


HpS - Wonderful!!

By the way. Any news of the Jambavati Devi Dasi. We keep the pictures of her deities on our altar, but no news of her for some time!

Of course, Krsna seems to be taking personal care of her.

We listen to your stories as Sankirtan partners. Amazing.

Yet, better things are to come.

Which do we want to be in our next life: Kunti or Draupadi! 😥


Please your blessings so that our lives can develop with a spiritual mold following your vani and vapuh and at the end of this life we find you again, finding you means finding Śrīla Prabhupāda, that is our guaranteed path to Krsna.


HpS - I think that there is just as much chance that I will find H. H. Bhakti bhusana Swami's feet and that will get me back in connection with Krsna.


Unfortunately, due to the visa issue, we will not be able to travel to Houston.


HpS - Oooof! Maybe the CIA will kidnap you and your good husband by mistake and bring you to the Houston Temple as a recompense.


Of course we have also had and continue to have so many trials but we don't want to regret too much because the rewards outweigh the challenges.


HpS - On the other had, as soon as we just put both hands up in the air and call, He Govinda! We just have no problems! [What happened to all those Sarees???]


I am sending the photo of the eighth bead so that you can please tell me if it is a mistake that I have it separated with a remnant clasp of the Deities, it is not tight, the bead has the same crack on both sides, I have had this for several years and possibly I am committing offenses.


HpS - Don't think so. Some good glue?


It may be the preferred one but it is because the 8 main gopis bring me closer to Krsna.


ASA - https://kksongs.org/songs/v/vrndavanaramya.html


Bus robbers stole my initiation japa on a sankirtana trip. I offered this japa to the Deities of the Krsna Balarāma temple in Vrndavan in 2002.


HpS - We heard that Srila Prabhupada said, that replacing sincerely lost beads makes them as good as the ones on which were chanted.


My husband does not usually write much, but he does read Srila Prabhupāda's books and preach a lot, he usually also participates in the online programs, sends his obeisances,

he thinks that the event of 2024 will be that His Holiness. Hanumatpresaka Swami will meet the formal disciple of his sannyasi.


HpS - Hmmm. Interesting. We think Yadunandana Swami is a great Sannyasa guru.

Our respects to him.

After all these years is he still in control of "the coconut"?



Update

We read the Kapi Dhvaja


Distant future


January 11-13, ASA/HpS/Vyasa-puja


11º Home Program? Focus on Spanish?


In Mexico Vyasa-puja is also celebrated on this day, it will be very auspicious to have its darshan. We think it is a good proposal in Spanish for this side of the world if that sounds good to you.


HpS - It seems good so far. That's Thursday and then in the Temple on Saturday focusing in English.


Thank you so much.

Please forgive any offenses

Your eternal aspiring servant

Asta-Sakhi dd


HpS - Ooof, please forgive our offenses.

4.26PM. Seems sun has set.

Is getting dark here.

How are the Mangala arati, FMS, online program?

We are seeing a schedule emerge.

Saturday Class for Cusco.

Thank you all, so much.

More Dandavat Pranam from Manipuri devotees

1 year, 7 months ago by sadhubhusandas@bsds in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaj,


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


{Last night, in my dream, Maharaj [H. H. B. S Damodara Swami? or us?] was present in the Brahmachari Ashram of ISKCON Manipur, and Maharaj was trying to send some messages to your Blog from my computer and you were indicating me to send it.}


Maharaj, it’s you I was seeing in the dream.


HpS - AgtSP~ Amazing. Being able to visit the B'cari ashrama in Manipur is a great honor in any way.

KRSNA book is full of Krsna and His soldiers fighting with demons like Jarasandha, and not a single soldier of Krsna's getting killed. Of course, dying for Krsna, might be even more desireable.


Thank you very much for the wonderful and very valuable guidance you have given me in your response to my last letter. I was reading it again and again with my devotee friends. Please bless me Maharaj so that I may continue serving Srila Prabhupada more and more enthusiastically.


H. H. Haridasa Maharaj and myself, we are going to Bali on 26th of this month. We may be coming back to India in the last week of January 2024.


HpS - One month.

We remember that Srila Prabhupada said, that first they will laugh at our preaching, then they will try to destroy us, and finally they want to listen to us.

It seems that ISKCON is starting to move into the 3rd phase.

In the first phase we have to tolerate humiliation.

In the second getting killed.

In the 3rd, we really have to know our culture, SB, and be able to give professional advice on that basis!

The speeches of Maharaja Prthu for political science, and Lord Kapila's Sankhya for physical science etc. 👍


Maharaj, thank you once again for your love and concern for this lowly servant of yours. Hope to see you soon again in Manipur.


Your servant

Sadhubhusan Das

HpS - I know of no place else like Manipura except Vraja itself. Both are worth dying for, no?

 Hace tiempo que estoy pensando en escribir, pero la verdad es que la vida nos está haciendo movernos mucho y pensar poco , de mayo a diciembre habremos estado en cuatro diferentes sitios. Espero que la casa al pie de la montaña y con cinco pies de nieve me ayude a calmar la mente.

Por lo demás, cuando tenemos un momento libre, después de terminar las rondas, estamos estudiando astrología y continuando con aprendizaje de mantras para sacrificios de fuego

La finalidad es, la prédica en un principio la la próxima primavera puede ser un buen momento para empezar a dar pequeños seminarios acerca de estas otras ramas de la filosofía Vedica para poder atraer a gente interesada y llevarlos al canto de los Santos Nombres

Me gustan los seminarios que hacen unos devotos de Perú Ramanuja y Devarshi Naradha Prabhu que podría replicar aquí en inglés hay mucho trabajo ya hecho es cuestión de adaptarlo y poniéndolo a trabajar y ver si funciona si no también están las opciones de internet

No tenemos pensado parar en esta vida

 de una otra manera, siempre bajo su inspiración

Y como meta el que usted se sienta orgulloso de nuestro servicio 

Además, estamos haciendo Homeschool para Jahnavi completo y  para Sita es escuela , kindergarten,sin quitarle un ojo a nuestro pequeño Guerrero Arjuna

Así es como

Hare Krsna! Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.


All Glories be Srila Prabhupada!


 I have been thinking about writing for a long time, but the truth is that life is making us move a lot and think little, from May to December we will have been in four different places. I hope that the house at the foot of the mountain and with five feet of snow will help calm my mind.


HpS/ASA - Five, agtSP, feet!



For the rest, when we have a free moment, after finishing the rounds, we are studying astrology and continuing with learning mantras for fire sacrifices.


The purpose is, preaching, initially next spring may be a good time to start giving small seminars about these other branches of Vedic philosophy in order to attract interested people and lead them to the chanting of the Holy Names.


HpS/ASA - From what I understand H. H. Bhanu Swami does the same.


I like the seminars given by some devotees from Peru, Ramanuja and Devarshi Naradha Prabhu, which I could replicate here in English. There is a lot of work already done. It is a matter of adapting it and putting it to work and seeing if it works. If not, there are also internet options.


We do not plan to stop in this life.


In another way, always under your inspiration.


And as a goal, we hope that you feel proud of our service.


HpS/ASA - 😐

We always hope that, by His Divine Grace, we can contribute something unique to Radha and Krsna's pastimes.


In addition, we are doing Homeschool for Jahnavi completely, and for Sita it is school, kindergarten, without taking an eye off our Little Warrior, Arjuna.


HpS - Just imagine what potential you would have had if you had advantage of this philosophy as you grew up! Second generation!

Whatever happened to your two daughters in Spain???


This is how, thanks to your blessings, we are going through this period of life in the most honorable way possible.


HpS - AgtSP!. When we drop a little rock in the still water it sends ripples out. We may be small but Radharani, Lord Nityananda, are expert at using every little screw in the BIG MACHINE, no?


His servant Murari Das,


HpS - No fotos!! Please send some fotos as you can.
