Pranams and dandavats dear guruji 
AGTSP !!

Guruji didn't get a chance to talk to you and tell you about the awkwardness that made ​​daily, please excuse me.

well, i'm working, studying at the university (risk prevention), teaching (Sarod and sitar),learning music and Vaishnava books.
I'm doing a very simple service in the temple every day or most of them, singing songs Vaishnava noon ceremony in the temple (Vrajawasis songs).
Still trying to find out my Ashram, vaishnava seva is the best platform now, humble and respect to all.
From mathura got my current deities , Radha Vrindavan Lala, every day in puja and service for them.
I remember every day to Sri Vrindavan Dham, my daily breathing.
Excuse my mistakes, you know I have low intelligence.
Maha Pranams and service dear Guruji.

Nitay Goura Sundar ki jaya !

Jay Sri Radhe Syama !!

HPS - Yes, really missed your blissful association. Go ahead.

Reflection and India trip

10 years, 10 months ago by nataraj in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dear guru maharaj

Please accept my dandavat pranams, All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

I had a really beautifull darshan of Lord Venkateswara in Tirupati. It was a memorable visit and I was able to see the Lord from as close as 5 feet. I was in bliss and confusion for a while for next couple of minutes. Had darshan of Goddes Lakshmi's forms Alivelu Mangamma, Goda Devi and other deities of Govinda Raja Swamy , Panduranga.

With Gods grace and Guru's mercy I had a wonderfull trip and I will be back in Dallas on January 27th. On the workfront, the company where I am employed with has hired other contractors and I might be loosing my job. I am jhoping that they keep my job. In this trip, I was able to do my rounds better and strictly followed No Onion,Garlic rules. Initially my relatives made some remarks about the habits, but after staying adamant on it, my mom strongly supported my determination and I was able to maintain my principles. I was not really good at doing my 16 rounds  and reading Chaitanya Caritamrita in this trip. I will try to be more deligent next time. I also had the wonderfull oppertunity to the Vyasa puja offerings of other desciples, I felt a strong guilt for not doing anything as service for you and gratitude for having you as my guru.

Looking forward to meeting you in Houston.

your servant

Nataraj 

HPS - AGTSP. Paobw. Such nice news. You are smashing mountains of Karma. Go ahead with Japa as first priority then family job, they will all come into very nice harmony. Wonderful things ahead,don't waste time.

Dear Gurudeva please accept my obeisances . All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you are well with your great service to Srila Prabhupada.

I am Chanting 16 rounds following four principles, the marathon last December I was in the temple all the month, I´m trying to learn from the devotees it was wonderful but also hard . I could not study and my rounds were late for the  services. But yes, as I experienced my faith in Krishna impressively increased and that's all thanks to you.

I received an email from the University which said  that would not be possible to unsubscribe a other year and I must  return in January, inside me , I felt happy, but sad because I do not want to be away from the devotees. I thought of the months I was in the temple and pray to krishna with all my heart to let me live with devotees near the temple and continue with the University .

I knew Govinda, my spiritual sister, she´s from Monterrey has been working on a project with Prabhu Mahasankarshan , we think the idea of ​​living near the temple together and unite forces. We asked several Brahmanas whether it would be good , with the temple president and all gave their blessings.

Sri Sri Madan Gopal Radhe , are too merciful , we are now living together, looking to make an Ashram in order to study or work on our projects, but also search out Sadhana in the temple.

Gurudeva Please pray for us his blessings and not make so many mistakes to remain firmly in Mercer learn to love God by serving you.

Jaya Sita Rama !

               HpS - ASA --- Jaya! AGTSP. paoho. Seems very very nice. I would just say that you can focus on seeing nice ways to introduce Krsna consciousness in your university life. Pantheism, Krsna is the taste in water and the light of the sun, is one way. More advanced, He is the param-atma so people who are attracted to introspection, intuition, art, creativity, meditation can also be stimulated. Of course, direct kirtan, lecture, kirtan, prasadam programs and DISTRIBUTE BOOKS. Even taking Purports and distributing them separately is nice.

Super nice foto!!!  Thank you.

See you Gaura purnima!

Todas Las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas Las Glorias a Usted GuruMaharaja

PAMHO

Primero que nada espero que se encuentre bien de salud al recibir el presente reporte Gurudeva.

Seguimos con 4 principios estables y 16 rondas aunque no muy entuciastas, Maharaja no se que me pasa pero ultimamente me da mucho sueño estoy en plena ignorancia y no me siento bien. Habia encontradó un empleo pero solo estube 2 días porque salia muy tarde y no tenia tiempo de hacer casi nada, ni de estar con mi hijo, de nuevo estamos en la busqueda de empleo.

Acá en Uruapan están las cosas muy pesadas debido al crimen organizado al parecer el gobierno ya quiere terminar con todo, la ciudad esta llena de policias federales y soldados, es peligroso salir de noche, pero los enfrentamientos más feos son en las orillas y comunidades cercanas.  Por favor le ruego sus bendiciones para que todo termine lo más rápido posible.

Seguimos en el centro de predica con los programas normales, tenemos el servicio estable de preparar el boga para el programa del domingo.

Hemos descuidado un poco la lectura, pero nos propucimos reanudarla precisamente desde hoy. Gurudeva no me gusta la actitud que estoy tomando, me siento estancada ¿Qué puedo hacer? :(

Por favor Disculpe nuestras ofensas

Su caida aspirante a sirviente

HpS - AGTSP translate.google.com - There is no "magic" solution. You just have to do your best to put your Japa first, four principles second, nice morning [brahma-muhurta] program third and then help the Sankirtan movement as you can.

Do your best to fight THE WITCH and then depend on Krsna.

Of course, this all becomes very easy if you get good association. Physically visit devotees, more important do service with them, even if it is something that doesn't require physical association all the time. Call on the phone.

O.K. Waiting for more news.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Caitania Mahaprabhu!!!

Todas las Glorias a Usted!!!

Querido Gurudeva por favor hacepte mis reverencias, le escribo para reportarle de mis actividades como siempre lo ago mes con mes,

sigo viviendo en el templo de Mexico DF, cantando 16 rondas diariamente, cuatro principios  y asistiendo al programa de mangalartic regular mente, sigo con mis servicios regulares en la cocina de la deidad y ahora retomando el servicio a Sri Nitai Caitanya Candra y Srila Prabhupada, pero con ahora la sorpresa de la visita del Señor Jagannatha, Madre Lalita Gopi DD los trajo consigo de Vrndavan Dham, pero quiero pedir su permiso y bendiciones para poder adorarlos ya que usted mismo nos ha dicho que Jagannatha es para devotos que tienen segunda iniciacion <img alt="ceño" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.png" title="ceño" width="23" />, Gurudeva a mi en lo personal me gusta mucho la adoracion a la deidad y me gustaria en algun momento poder tener su permiso y bendiciones para poder hacerlo mas formalmente, esto lo he comentado con mis autoridades en el templo y ellos me han dicho que cuando Usted considere oportuno estara bien tomar este gran compromiso con Usted y Krishna, es por eso que oro a Krishna y a Usted para que me den las instrucciones necesarias para culificarme para este gran paso en la vida espiritual, Gurudeva estoy totalmente rendida a sus instrucciones, por favor permitame aferrarme a Sus pies y a los pies de Loto de Srila Prabhupada.

Con Respecto a el viaje a España le he escrito a P. Lokanatha en Barcelona ahun estoy esperando su respuesta para poder comprar el tiket de avion esperando el arreglo perfecto de Krishna <img alt="rubor" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/embarrassed_smile.png" title="rubor" width="23" />

Por favor Gurudeva perdone todas las ofensas que pueda cometer en el intento de servir a los Devotos y a Srila Prabhupada

Su aspirante a sirviente Saranagati DD.

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP. Paoho. Nos vemos Gaura-purnima en Mexico?

Second initiation is just like first initiation but we have to be fixed in our Sadhana like a Lady or a Gentleman. Do you want to always live like a formal example for new people? When they come to the Temple they have to see formal examples of how to follow the culture. Jayananda Das was like an Avatar or some such thing but he was doing Sudra service and so his Brahmana thread was black from auto mobile grease. For him second initiation was not necessary.

Vyasa puja offering

10 years, 10 months ago by nataraj in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Dear Guru maharaj,

Please accept my humble obesciences, All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

Belated birthday wishes maharaj, I have been thinking about all the moments we talked and the communications through the emails. I feel really blessed in that aspect that you are patiently guiding this way ward soul with love. I sometimes feel that I dont have that much love as some other desciples of you like Srinivas Acharya das(a close friend of mine).  I think I have a lot of false ego and I try to find the satisfaction and this eventually is making me not love with deepest of feelings. 

I wish I could have helped more actively in book distribution and temple service. I mostly try to clean the temple prsadam hall once a week and sometime occassionally contribute financially to the temple. I keep in touch with the devotees and try to associate them on the phone and internet.

I have not been eating Onion/Garlic for a while now and have been eating mostly satvic food. Reading Chaitanya Caritamrita daily and Harinam.

When I read books, I feel gratitude for what Lord has given me, but somehow I get a lot of questions on veracity of the facts ssometimes.

Please bless me so that I can serve you directly and indirectly and do the things which satisfies you

Please keep this fallen person in your mind and keep blessing me with your grace.

your aspiring servant

Nataraj

             HpS - AGTSP Please write to us about some of the Facts you question!!  We are amazed at your sincerity. You must have been a Pujari in a Temple in India in the 19th century in your last life.
