srimate bhaktivedanta svamin iti namine

namas te sarasvate deve gaura-vani-precarine

nirvisesha sunyavadi pascatya desa tarine 

reciba mis mas humildes y respetuosas reverencias guru maharaj le escribo para desearle un feliz dia en su vyasa puja y agradeserle infinitamente por su gracias redamanas en mi vida desde que le conoci en una foto y tube la gracia de escucharle en una clase me atrajo enormeente y me he rendido a sus pies de loto , aun esta presente este ultima visita a mexico, cuando lo vi me portre a sus pies de loto y se me quedo viendo con una furza y un escrutinio que nunca me habia pasado cosa igual en la vida, estube con usted y me dio pena, miedo cruzar palabra alguna con usted solo le escuchaba y grababa en mi celular su conferencia , pero ese dia pude subir con usted al lugar donde estaba comiendo y me puse mas nervioso pero pense dentro de mi si no hablo hoy no se cuando pueda hacerlo , sin envargo no pude cruzar ninguna palabra solo lo admire y me causaba un gran confortamiento saber que estaba hay, el dia siguiente nos levantamos temprano para ir a aeropuerto a despedirlo hay hubo un poco de tiempo para hacer una preguntas antes de que saliera el avion , asi que me arme de valor y pregunte ¿Comò podia acercarme a un maestro espiritual? en realidad yo queria preguntar como podia ser su disipulo, usted me pregunto mi nombre, le dije me llamo miguel, usted me contesto es facil, miguel solo tiene que seguir los pasos que srla prabhupada dijo, este proceso es gradual uno, empieza leyendo un poco y despues se interesa mas por el movimiento y despues lo 4 principios y el maestro espiritual esta hay como tu papas qye te ha llebado asta lo que rs hoy , si que no es dificil llegar al guru hay muchos en los que puedes conocer y llegar a ellos.

temple president

11 years, 5 months ago by harsh_horse in Personal Sadhana Reports

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp

this is regarding formal aspirant, http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/3774.  we have going  o chowpatty and juhu temples.. but were never able to contact admin authorities there.
in mumbai we contact Prana Pr, Ram Giridhari pr and other devotees for counselling....
in such cases any other person apart from Temple president can be authority.
if not.. then we will see

regards,
horse

= = = =

AGTSP! paoho.
This is the GBC and also Srila Prabhupada's arrangement. We have to have a practical relation with ISKCON for Sankirtan etc.  Are you in contact with devotees from Boise or places like that? Can you start to cultivate a practical relation with ISKCON institution?
Maybe Ramagiridhari and Prana Das can make some suggestions.
Chant Hare Krsna / Rama and They will help us!

visiting Wash DC

11 years, 5 months ago by Raulmontreal in Personal Sadhana Reports

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !

Please accept my humble obeisances

Dear Maharaja

First  answer you questions and recomendations.  We are still in Wash DC visiting parents but unable to get books from the DC Temple,  we sent a letter through their Facebook account but no response. As far as we know no devotee lives near my parents place,  the only rides we can get to the temple are from my sisters who can't spare that time, family, work, etc   So we are focusing on our rounds and Gita, bhajans plus watching classes on youtube, we found a good number of your lectures and classes there, jaya !  Also we are putting our faith out in the open and presenting it to my family,  mother is very open and even enthusiastic, she even remembers you from Lima back in the 90's.  We offered prasadam cooked by her and spoke about Krsna and the Gita to father, mother and sister.  We accompanied sister and niece yesterday to the natural history museum (full of people) and after some stroll around the exhibits, including the new Genome hall, we sat and chanted on our japa while sister watched an ice age movie.  The realization flowed to us on the purpose and importance of the Vedic Planetarium project in Mayapur, The Gita Museum in LA and Srila Prabhupada's wish to have a Vedic-Bhagavata dharma  museum or exhibit here in DC  right next to the Mall where all the big ones are. We contemplated the consciousness that this places enhance on people the "matter and science  is all"  really partial view of nature and science,    sad the Wash DC temple had to move out to MD Potomac cause there is no center in DC now and no devotees distributing books on the metros or streets except on especial occasions. (but they do have sponsorship programs)  On a positive note we gave a Gita and a Higher Taste books to sister at home.  We are paying closer attention to the NIOS program,  understanding the methodology etc   we found interesting links to  "Beyond Illusion and Doubt"  and  Life comes from Life,  as well as the careful presentation of Vedic cosmology and philosophy of nature in your essays and powerpoints.    We go back to (caveman) Montreal the 9th,  we live there what can we do,  Toronto is actually the happening place for all things beyond matter and illusion but haven't been there since July.

your humble servant
