Utah Wedding

10 years, 11 months ago by BhaktaAdrian in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna,

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

I just wrote an extensive letter, and in fidgetting with my new computer I got for school, I completely erased it before I had the chance to send it! Maybe there was something in there I was not supposed to send. I will recap..

                 HpS - ASA -  AGTSP.....   Happens to us all the time!    We are learning to keep two backups of stuff and to make them often...

....We are moving forward with the wedding. I am getting increasingly busier with every day. I am always anxious to know if you will be able to come to Utah!

                 HpS - ASA -   I don't think so, but our future really depends on how we can do some writing.  We are making progress in getting that clear, but have a long way to go.  Right now we are in this quick USA tour which will take us to BOISE for 4th of July.

I am moving forward with my rounds. I have calculated about a total of 3 weeks worth of japa that I have missed, including my last batch of laziness, and all the way back to when I know I was regularly chanting 16 daily rounds. It may take some time for me to get back on top of it (sometimes I feel as though I am moving more backwards than forwards). 

             HpS - For one who does good my friend, he will never become overwhelmed by evil.  In any situation try to do some thing nice.

I am starting school right after the wedding at the police academy here at the community college. I have heard mixed reviews about my choice to pursue a career in this field. Some say it is great. Others tell me I am not enough of a ksatria, and should not do it. I don't even know how much of a "ksatriya" I am, or even have the capacity to measure that for myself. However, it is a decision I made, and perhaps I am stubborn, but I am sticking with it. What is your opinion?

             HpS - If a few people think it has possibilities then give it a try.  Shoot to get something out of it of lasting value even if you do leave it after a few months.

Thank you for your association and feedback!

Your aspiring servant,

Bhakta Adrian

                 HpS -  ASA   --- Just get up early and get your rounds done!     FIGHT  with the desire to go back to sleep, and then "vidya vadu...", Krsna will be able to GIVE you good intelligence what to do. Your plans seem O.K.     Have you had any professional counseling about your marriage? There are good Christian surveys on line that you can take that will tell you and Rebecca what areas are weak etc.  I don't have the details.   The Grhastha Vision Team would.  Try finding their web page. Krsna consciousness should be some hard work but also lots of play!!

    Acepte por favor mis respetuosas reverencias Gurudeva.

   Sea Misericordioso conmigo porfavor.vvSus santos pies son el tesoro que llevo siempre en mi corazon.  Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

                ASA -  TlgaSP!!!!   Muy bien oir de Vd.  "Que pasa con el gran poeta y sin verguenza transcendental Saccinandana?!"

   Gurudeva seguimos buscando a Krsna en el Maha Mantra y cargando libros, distribuyendo libros y leyendo el Nectar de la Devocion: Las cualidades de Sri Krsna.Extrañamos mucho su asociacion.

Kali Yuga ki jay! Las pruebas de Krsna pienso son 10 veces mas fuerte.

             ASA - Possible pero el remedio es 20-veces mas facil: Canta Hare Krsna / hare Rama y sea FELIZ!!!

Gurudeva muchas gracias por sus bendiciones. Por favor vuelva pronto!

>bebiendo veneno y nectar alavez; su tonto sirviente Sacinandana Dasa.

                  HpS - ASA -  Como esta su Mama???

Reporte, Hare Rama

Hare Krishna!!!

Todas las glorias al eterno Sankirtan de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias Gurudeva

Aquí reportandome, 4 principios 16 rondas, aun no logro el disfrute al cantar los santos nombres, me siento muy baja y caida tan dentro de la contaminación material que siento que me asfixia, quiero salir pero entre más lucho más me jala no quiero estar más en este pozo de obscuridad, Maharaja con sus bendiciones podremos seguir adelante. 

En Uruapan se ha terminado la asociación con los devotos, ya no nos reunimos, por el momento la única forma de estar en contacto con los devotos es el facebook pero hace mucha falta convivir con vaisnavas.

A fines de Junio voy a Guadalajara para buscar trabajo e irme a vivir para allá, no le miento en ocaciones me da temor solo me voy con mi hijo, lo que me tranquiliza es que tengo el apoyo de madre Radhika,  mi deseo es estar cerca del templo hacer servicio tener la asociación de los devotos.

GuruMaharaja su isntrucción es lo más importante para seguir en el sendero del Bhakti-yoga.

Por favor disculpe mis ofensas

su aspirante a sirviente

                   HpS - Hmmm...  AgtSP!....   Muy bien....   Claro.   Estamos en estos situaciones menos comodo por nuestra propio estupidez.  Pero...   acercarse con Krsna y  podemos ver una cambio rapido.  Si, no puede ir a un templo, busca un iglesia donde hay buena gente, no?    Esperamos noticias de su viaje a Guadalajar.   Es un hecho, su Japa y 4-principios va a tener un resultado super.   Iniciacion pronto, no?    Mangala arati para sus Deidades?   Envia unos fotos de su altar!

Candra-mukhi DD - Pandava-ekadasi, Shelter for Ladies.

Hare Krsna, Beloved Gurudeva ¡¡¡
A G T S P ¡ ¡ ¡
PAOHO
 
I hope this meets U in really good health ¡¡¡
 
 
Thanks for your association and inspiration. Our Sadhana has improved a lot. Japa joe at 1:30 am has helped us a lot.. Mangal artik is nice.. service is better now. Our sole Bhakti Sastri student Radha govinda dd is young and she is very nice. Her association is helping us a lot.
 
 
I am focusing as U advised me on my BELOVED GAURA NITAY They are so merciful and kind ¡¡ They are helping us a lot ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ We are under Nityananda's lotus feet shelter.
 
Bhakti vaibhava study is extremely nice for us ¡¡¡¡¡ I have realized that Srimad Bhagavatam is our very means of conquest in this age ¡¡¡¡¡
 
Association with  good devotees like Madhumanjari dd, Palika dd, Sundari Radhika dd ¡¡¡ extraordinary ladies ¡¡¡ helped us A LOT¡¡¡¡¡¡
 
I am pretty busy so Maya can not get in ¡¡¡ I have to finish my Doctor Thesis in education THIS YEAR, also a lot of work in my university and in the temple ¡¡¡ It is nice, helps to keep our heart clean and our conscious up ¡¡¡
 
NEWS: The whole set of Srimad Bhagavatam IN ENGLISH has arrived at our home ¡¡¡ mercy from Palika dd I am paying it in parts I am so happy Krsna Himself as His literary encarnation is at home JAYA 
 
Nevertheless on the other hand I have one concern.    U said one thing to me in your last email ¡¡ 3 ladies alone unprotected ¡¡ Just one nice dog ¡¡¡ 
 
My mother, sister and me .. U are a sanyasi You can protect me with your instruction and mercy BUT here in Peru where can we take shelter??    Who can be take care of us here ?? 
 
Also next on June 19th it will be Pandava nirjala Ekadasi any specific instruction for me for this Bhima ekadasi?? that can help me ?
 
Thank U all so much
Trying always to be your disciple
Candramonkey dd
 
               HpS - ASA - Jaya!   AGTSP....   paoho.  Sorry has taken eight days to answer this.  Too much work.  We have to surrender more to get power to do more service!  Jaya.   From our experience there was no emphasis on Bhima-ekadasi while Srila Prabhupada was here, at least not in San Francisco Temple. It started after he left.   Recently Guru-prasada Swami, Guna-grahi Swami and Bhanu Swami among others investigated this and the conclusion was something like, there is no specific scriptural injunction nor instruction from Srila Prabhupada to do Nirjala ekadasi on this ekadasi.  Of course, every Ekadasi can be nirjala ekadasi as we can do it and must at minimum be a fast from beans and grains, all with the purpose of increasing devotional service, especially hearing and chanting about Govinda. Read the Krsna book with someone else on Ekadasi!
 
I don't know who specifically you can take as social-psychological-practical shelter now that your father is not present, but the basic principle is super important and if you pray to Krsna I think he will give you help. For example you have  a relation with Pallika Devi Dasi. O.K.   She and her good husband may be natural people.    Another practical thing would be to sell or rent your house and buy a house near to the Temple in Chosika or something like that.  There are so many ways to start heading in the right direction, and ultimately because it is Kali-yuga and Varna-ashrama-dharma is so weak, Krsna, Himself, is inclined to become father, brother...   but  better to look for the physical representative he is sending.   Please let us all know your progress in this regard. It is very important.  Temple President should help.

long long time (madhavendra puri das from argentina)

10 years, 11 months ago by Madhavendra Puri das in Personal Sadhana Reports

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to Gaura Bhakta vrinda!

Hare krishna dear gurudev, please accept my humble obeisenses.

Long, long time no writing to you, i m sorry. This year have started in a frenetic activities rythm, to much ocupated allways. Doing much service, working much. 

 With my wife and other devotees we are organizing the sunday feast once a month , and  we call it dasanudasa party. the idea is to recover that spirtit, and its beeing very very nice, many devotees geting inspired, also working much in recovering the senior devotees , giving them their space, improving the prasadam and many areas, many ideas to serve the devotees comunity. 

I continue working with my wife cooking and selling prasadam, much demand of the clients, much work, little bit tired but happy. Thinking about taking staff, to get work more light.

            HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!!!  Paoho.  Very nice to hear from you all...   YES!   Once you know how to do it right, teach someone else!  Don't work harder, work smarter!  Utsahan.

We have also a shop in a organic fair, thats very good, people buy a lot of prasadam and also many prabhupadas books. Also with the need of doing some diferent things,more intelectual, artistic. Also continue giving yoga classes, thats nice, but many people are looking for a psycologhist. Making some programs with yogic people, last week we project the light of bhagavata movie  and do a film discussion , kirtan and prasadam, people very very happy. 

Also with ambarisa, vrisabanu, and many of your disciples we are organizing some programs for your visit, many ideas, maybe doing some preview programs, before your coming.

In february in the nitiananda s appearece day we installed gour nitai deitys in my home, since that time i was wanting to write you but not doing it i send you a photo of them, and if you want ,you con put them some nice name, we get them in vrindavana, and radha carana paint them for us.

 Sadhana: following the 4 principles, strugling to finish my 16 rounds every day, with much much problems to wake up early, also to go to sleep early. Also very very tired many times and that makes me difficult to wake up.can you give me some advice in this point?

              HpS - http://www.jayarama.us/archives/japa-joe.txt     Search in the text file for "GET UP EARLY TANTRA" You have to DO IT!! Then later you can take a nap. After some time you become used to getting up early and getting your rounds done. You get more done, and then you can go to bed earlier also!

Many times very tired of material life, also becoming aware of the varana asharama,  of how grihasta ashrama is like getting very  very tired of this word to finally renounce and attach only to krishna.

             ASA - Jaya!

ohh, gurudeva, sorry for this very long recharged mail. one last thing, maybe some familiar is going to give me a donation of land near the los andes mountains, very nice to develop comunity projects, please give your blessings. 

hope you health is super ok,

your  very bad disciple,

Madhavendra Puri DAS

          HpS - Fourth thing is land. 1) Who am I,   2) Who are we,   3)What is our plan,   4)What land, money, men, tools.  Jaya!!    Get to work!   Send report on how many rounds you have done by 10AM daily average after a few weeks!          Look for Names for your nice Gaura Nitai from Caitanya caritamrta!  Send us options..
