Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!

Guru Maharaja, de acuerdo a lo solicitado "noticias del templo"; hace un mes aproximadamente hubo un cambio en la administración, donde Prabhu Om Kesavaya ya no es parte de la Junta Directiva, sino que ahora algunos devotos Grihasthas estan ejecutando los servicios que Prabhu Om Kesavaya  realizaba. Los programas del templo continúan de manera regular, y la construcción del nuevo templo también. Se realizó Snana Yatra y pronto Ratha Yatra.

           HpS - ASA - TlagaSP!!!!!!  Pfanrh......   Muy bien leer sus noticias. Que es el "nuevo templo". Otro sitio? Misma sitio? Expansion, renovacion del lo que existe?

Éste lunes llega al Yatra SS Bhakti Sundar Goswami, guru diksa de my husband. Nos acompaña hasta el 4 de noviembre, en Ratha Yatra y Kirtan Fest. También tendremos nuestra ceremonia Vivaha Karma el jueves 31 de octubre, donde Maharaja estará presente. Nos hubiese gustado que Usted también estuviera presente, pero, no tendremos esa misericordia <img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/38.gif" title="" />

             Congratulations por su Boda (una torta vegitariano apegado abajo)!!!

La adoración a Radha Krsna aún NO comienza. Estamos atentos a Sus indicaciones de standar de adoración para Radha Krsna, por eso estamos reuniendo lo necesario. Maharaja Bhakti Sundar Goswami nos dió el nombre para ellas: Sri Radha Gopinath.

4 principios, 16 rondas, Gayatri (problema para cumplir con el horario). Continúo con servicios en el templo (gestión cursos y adoración, 1 o 2 veces al mes).

Sukadeva tiene 9 meses y escucha Ohe Vaisnava Thakura por la mañana y Krsna Book por la tarde. 

                ASA - Una regalito apegado para ella tambien!!!  Super! Claro no es persona ordinario.

Espero que Su salud esté bien, y que podamos verlo y escucharlo en enero del 2014.

Muchas gracias por Su eterna inspiración.

Priya Sakhi Devi Dasi y familia.

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp
jaya gaur bhakt vrinda,

               HpS - ASA - Jaya AGTSP.   Paoho  we were writing this letter and then Bh. David came in to say good-bye and it got lost???   David is very nice devotee who visited from Denver. Now is 5.53PM, Thursday, 31 November, he is leaving for Denver. We will answer like one or two more letters here then bath, Japa, Yahoo mail and go for initiation in Temple.

... little update on question asked by u in node 3508
Our son's would be 2 yr on kartik poornima, his Legal Name is Parikhshith Pradhan.

               HpS - So, 17th November is anniversary of Maharaja Pariksit.

My guide has changed, there is lot of progress, but still not yet to give us thesis.

              HpS - Very nice!
india is changing, lots of materialism keeping in, it seems india is 25-30 yrs behind USA. so u can say India is USA of 1985.

               HpS - We remember that at that time there was a lot of impersonalism. Everyone was becoming absorbed into electronic toys. Palm-pilots, etc. Their sense gratification and relations on sense gratification all had this impersonal, electronic nature.

regarding see you in february, we were thinking to come to Mayapura or Vrindavan or lucknow, mostly we would try to bring espousa y hijo also.
will it be possible for u to give date by date travel plan
but can not commit as of now
seems ur india trip is quite short in duration, and may be lots of your disciples may accompany you. so in that we would prefer to come alone, lets us see what  Nrsng Dev,TB,BW plans.
              HpS - Let us stay in touch with details. Even today we had request to stay one more day in Mayapura for Ministry of Education meeting, so we might skip Lucknow and go directly to Delhi/Vrndavana. We really want to see you all then.

We are communicating with female disciple of Srila Prabhupada, who gives classes in e-sanga, on regular basis,  she has accepted us as Siksha Disciple. We are getting lot of help from her, it is very personalize.

     HpS - M. Urmilla Devi Dasi, no?  She is here with us all for the last week on this educational development in Houston. Like six hours a day of meetings.

You both are our eyes to help to move on path chalked by Srila Prabhupada.

I think we would become formal aspirant by 1 feb 2014.  Jaya!

we wanted to ask you things about preaching.
i. what is motto of our preaching? is to convert people to Hare Krsna faith ?..we are asking this because we are meeting people who already have some spiritual back ground. some body is islamic, some body follows SB but not it line of Mahaprabhu etc etc

    HpS - ONe answer is from the INtro to the NOI. We are learning how to help Lord Caitanya spread the science of Krsna consciousness. So, somebody may know physics from Japan and somebody else from Germany, but if they are sincere then they are all exchanging information. If someone is a sincere Christian he will naturally have lots of interest in ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada's SB, and we in his knowledge.
Those who just take religion from materialistic, nationalistic tradition, we try to help them by quoting from Acharya and Sastra if they want to here this.
They don't have to follow our Parampara.

ii. we give books to people, they hear conception from SB like epistemo from ISO, What is know from SB 1.1.1, 3 aspects fo reality SB 1.2.11, 24 elements etc etc... what is the next step ?and where do we stop.

          HpS - We can give LOB, NOI, BIO of Srila Prabhupada, BIO of Lord Caitanya from INtro to SB. We can give book, Teacings of Lord Caitanya (four dialogs (good for scholars)), then start Bhakti-sastri studies... never have to stop.

iii. we some how are not able to convince people of chanting as yuga dharma, we can convince of ideal sociology, VAD, etc but not chanting.

         HpS - I guess they have to experience it from Prabhupada.

we are reading mathews in bible with espousa, chaptr 6 and 5 are very heavy and helpful to us.

    HpS - Jaya!  Hallelujah!

"

....  I hope we get some more time to read this!

,harsh
      HpS - SUch nice news!!   We hope that you can get in touch with Goloka education, Ramagiridhari and Prana Das when they return to Mumbai. They are in New Mumbai. We have LOTS of work to do.

Can you contact Girivaradhari Das and then find our from Dr. Bandyopadhyay which are the universitys that we should contact first. We need a list of about 40 to start with. Then we can send a promotional flyer to them for the Felicitations volume. Send the news of this to this Blog!  Use Category A for the category.  Thank you so much!!

Hare Krishna!!!

All glories to Sankirtana movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you Guru Maharaja

Please accept my most sincere obeissances to your very soft blossom feet

           HpS - ASA - AGTSP....  Paoho...   Our feet are not swollen any more, but are not lotus. We are trying to be stronger devotees. We can only hope to do it little by little!!

Dear Gurudeva, i feel strongly happy and gratefull to you for having recieved at least one drop from the ocean of your mercy.

I'm feeling very inspired to continue my service to BBT, we are very close to print Srimad Bhagavatam in spanish for the first time in years. Also im searching inside, how to develope serving mode towards the devotees, and also the non-devotees, please instruct me.

I dont want to take much of your precious time, but i will ask you the two Blog questions you asked me to write =D

1st- can you give me the contact of Prahlada Nrsimha Das so i can start exchanging info from vedabase.com?

2nd-(1st part) What is the difference between writing Kirtan and Kirtana, and between Das and Dasa.

2nd-(2nd part) Can you please tell me something about my name, maybe your understanding of what does it mean to execute Kirtana (can it be understood also as preaching, reciting mantras/scriptures, etc. as well as chanting the Maha-Mantra with instruments?).

Again, thank you so much for having visited México although you have so much work to do for your preaching.

Your new former son and allways aspiring servant

Krsna-kirtana Das

P.D. i didn't find the way to change my user name XD.

   HpS - ASA - - 1st: I just sent a letter to Prahlada-nrs. with a copy to you introducing you and explaining that you want to work with him on the web-page. If you can't communicate that way please let us know.

2nd: The Sanskrit is Kirtana, Rama, Bhima, but the last letter, "a" is short so they don't include it when they write it in Hindi or modern Bengali. It is the same thing.

Krsna-kirtana Das means just what you say, serving the mission of Lord Caitanya with Kirtan in public, book distribution, teaching and chanting SB etc. etc. etc. keep on chanting, serving and looking for what is your specific service in the Sankirtana movement. O.K? Now preparing for 2nd initiation. At least one year, normally two, maybe more... then 3rd, 4th...!
