All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitai

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

P.A.M.H.O.

Dear Gurudeva,<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/37.gif" title="" />

First I hope all your activities are in order, as I hope your health is improving as well.

HpS - ASA - Ha! Ha! Ha! AGTSP. paoho. Our health is like yours. Guaranteed to get worse, then we die, but our spiritual health is getting better! Thanks to association with sincere devoees like you.

I'm chanting my 16 rounds, now more enthusiastically than before, I regained this special taste by chanting rounds, its been a process that took months<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/02.gif" title="" />, it was costing me a lot to be chanting happy, in the appropriate time, since I was finishing my rounds late… It was as my bhakti was tired. Now, I'm happy to see that even though one might be weak, if one has the desire in the heart, is always possible to get back on track and start with a new energy, but one really must wanna do it, because then one can stay in the path, it was a beautiful and special realization<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a08.gif" title="" />.

ASA - Whoop! Whoop! Then we get so many good ideas how to do Sankirtan!

Im reading and studying the nectar of instruction again, I have a desire to study it further, I would love to really remember easily everything that is in the book, that I hope to achieve by reading repeatedly at least for me who struggle to remember information for a long time, for me is the perfect guide for my life. At night I keep on reading the Krsna Book, a chapter every day, and by this process I've improved my sleep and insomnia<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/24.gif" title="" />.

ASA - The Meeting of Usa and Aniruddha!! (A little scandalous, no?)

I worship my deities at home, and took a deity worship course at ISKCON Suzano, in Sao Paulo - Brasil . I learned a lot in this class, it was based in the Mayapur course. I also participate in some festivals and beautiful conferences with Hridayananda Maharaja, also festivals with some Gurus from Brasil, Dhanvantari Swami and Candramukha Swami. I also get to meet some of my spiritual godbrothers that live in Brasil, Both from Brasil and Peru, all of then very lovely persons.

In Santiago - Chile, I've being able to attend temple a few times a week, friday programs and festivals. I'm allways reading your blog and allways keeping my association with devotees.

Thank you very much Guru Maharaja<img alt="smiley" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />, for your time reading this report, and please once more accept my humble obediences,

Your Humble servant,

Candrarekha Devi Dasi<img alt="" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/38.gif" title="" />

(Santiago Chile)

HpS - ASA - Su su super. 82 days, 14 hours until we get to Santiago. When you meet Krsna with the Gopis, all your desires will be saisfied. You will have no lust only peace and happiness.

Quick Report

12 years ago by Captain Blue Dog in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,

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

Thank you for answering my letter. you could have just as well advised me that the process is not for me.

I will try to follow, but even if I am following I am not qualified to have the association of devotees. It is my hope that through their mercy I will not lose their association. It is almost guaranteed that I will fall down, but I will do what I can. The only reason to be alive is to chant and follow the process. I will look inward and see if I can keep with the process. Then after some time I will try to report back.

Aspiring to be your fallen servant,
Captain Blue Dog

HpS - AGTSP paoho. If the process is not for us, if we are not on the stage of Bhajana-kriya, then we can maybe work on the stage of Sadhu sanga. See BG 4.10 for the stages. There are details paraphrased in NOI-7 or 8. Every body is different. I amy be at Nistha but not ready to work at Ruci. We will always, always, always see higher and lower platforms. Most people where you live don't even think about an eternal life.

They think Budweiser beer can solve all the problems in life.

Jaya GauraNitai!!!

Hare Krishna!!!

Todas las glorias a Sri GauraNitai...

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Maharaja por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

En Uruapan hay un pequeño centro de predica en donde hay programas los miercoles, viernes, sabados y domingos. solamente hemos estado asistiendo los viernes y domingos por cuestiones de trabajo pero en pocos días lo vamos a dejar y trabajaremos por cuenta propia, así tendremos más tiempo para hacer más servicio en el centro de predica y estudiar el Upadesamrta como usted lo ha indicado.

Gracias a la misericordia de nuestro señor Sri Krishna acabamos de terminar la licenciatrura en Psicología, ahora pretendemos dar consuta y algunos talleres a padres de familia y adolescentes.

Maharaja como podemos complacerlo y servir a los pies de loto de Srila Prabhupada si somos tan degradados, seguimos los 4 principios y cantamos 16 rondas pero aun así nos sentimos tan caidos, que podemos hacer?

Ya no hemos podido conectarnos a Japa Joe porque quitamos el internet en casa y la señal del celular no es buena, le pido disculpas.

Estamos contando los días para su visita a México, gracias por esa gran misericordia.

Por favor perdona mis ofensas

su aspirante a sirvienta

Bhaktin Linda Janeth

HpS - ASA - AGTSP It was very nice to meet you in Mexico City. We did meet right? Ha! Ha! Everything went so fast. I remember being introduced to you in your physical form and then seeing you in the programs. This is the kind of Guru we are. Don't expect that we are any substitute for Srila Prabhupada. We only hope to be a help in you approaching him. The Gopis think that they are fallen, have no devotion. That is natural, but as a practical matter, NOI-3, if you are chanting and following principles then your bad habits are under control and diminishing.

Just go ahead.

Who are some of the devotees where you live? Give us a little bio-graphy of them!

Keep working!

Hare krsna dear Gurudeva!!!!!

All glories to SRILA PRABHUPADA & U!!!! ( my saviors)

pamho

How are U?????

HpS - AGTSP. We are feeling a little low on energy and that makes us want to lament and fear, but our intelligence tells us that this is just the body. We are doing well in terms of body management, task management.

It is been 8 weeks and 1 day since our last letter... please forgive us for that...

Our sadhana is not as good as we wish... some days (specially the days after university classes) we get up late (like 6am)... we are still adapting to this schedule; but we will back to our regular sadhana....but for now 16R,4P and MA 80% of the week, worship everyday our dearest Lords and Bhakti Sastri classes on Sundays...

HpS - We have the same bumps when we expand to a new service. Takes a little time to adjust. Of course, we become more expert at Vaidhi bhakti as time goes on.

Health is better by the Mercy of krsna... despite all the pills we can do some service ...

Classes at the university are ok... work is ok...

HpS - We are very interested: What classes are you taking now? How long is the entire curriculum? What will you learn? What official diploma do you get? Are you going to take Sannyasa in a few years?

actually we have to priorize... we want to do many many many things ... 70% are for krsna... so the other 30% has to be delete or changed for krsna!!! we are working on that...

HpS - We are something like that to.

thanks a lot for all Ur support and for sharing the DTC on the Blog... we read it everyday....

We loved what we read on the blog.. "We can die for Krsna or we can die for sense gratification of this donkey. Yet we are going to die. Dying for Krsna is fun!"

we are very happy that U come for Christmas!!!!

always trying to be a useful tool for Ur sankirtan!!!

at your feet

Patraka Das

HpS - ASA - Again happy birthday! Thank you for this letter. Always try to keep the whole world in your picture. Srila Prabhupada wanted to save the whole world, so please work with that idea. Even if everyone else in Peru, South America, the whole world doesn't understand your situation, how will you go ahead.

O.K. More mail!

Thank you!!! We arrive in 65 days 4 hours and 4 minutes. By then we hope to have progressed a lot with Carl Jung work.

What can we do to spread Krsna consciousness in Peru?

Ghostly Influence

12 years, 1 month ago by Bhakta David II in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to your lotus feet.

Thank you for the verse on sleep. I do also have issues with memory. I am hoping those clear up soon.

Thank you for the compliment regarding intelligence Maharaja. I think I noticed that you had noticed my mental condition was disturbed when I came for prasad after being at work.

Regarding ghostly influence from previous life, I do think that is the case. The way I believe that I last died, I would have been ghost afterward. I have been looking into past life information/regression and that is helping.

I am getting great association at Radha Govinda Mandir, and have made much improvement. As I continue my sadhana, I am sure this influence will clear up. Krsna brings us back to where we were so that we may continue.

Hoping to become your servant,
Bhakta David

HpS - ASA - AGTSP.... paoho.... Very nice. Everyone is different. Krsna does not take into account as much, how much is in your hand when you make a donation to Him, as how much is left in your pocket.

One man is giving $10 but has nothing left in his pocket. Other man is giving $100 but has $500 left in his pocket. Do yu best to fight your enemies taking help from Krsna!

Sri Sri Gaura Nitay Madrid

12 years, 1 month ago by bhaktajosemadrid in Personal Sadhana Reports

Acepte mis mas humildes reverencias. TlgaSP. Espero que se encuentre bien de salud.

Bueno, ahora estamos en Madrid desde el dia 30, seguimos 4 principios cada dia más estrictos. Creo firmemente que el servicio a Sus Señorias me esta ayudando y me va ayudar enormemente en el futuro,,,,(Matematico). He bajado de 20 rondas y ahora son 17, ya que quiero focalizarme en la adoración y entusiarmar a los devotos.

Estoy a cargo de coordinar los servicios de Sus Señorias Sri Sri Gaura Nitay en el templo. Tratando de concienciarme y concienciar a los devotos de que la adoración de las Deidades del Templo y prestar servicio es muy importante; claro que uno se puede quedar en casa y adorar a Deidades o hacer otras cosas como Sankirtan con libros, etc....pero el servicio en el Templo es muy Importante.

Tenemos dudas sobre el estandar a seguir, ya que sólo se Bañan una vez por semana, y no todos tenemos cordon Brahminico, y no todos sabemos como seria el baño con 16 elementos, y sinceramente dudo que se pueda llevar a cabo. El ultimo fin de semana Jaya Gopal baño a a las deidades y yo le ayude a vestirlas. Pero veo que sería complicado para todos hacerlo asi con 16 upacharas. Somos unas 5 parejas de devotos para vestir y bañar: Caitanya Caran y su esposa Mela, Yasodanadana y su esposa Ekadristi, Bhadra Vardhana y su esposa Sananda, Dandava y su esposa Carquika, Jaya Gopal y Jharikhanda-gaura y lugo también estan Jara Mara Hari, Jiva Tattva, Janardana, Isvara.

Seguramente iré al Infierno pero quiero servir a Sus Señorias.

Su inutil sirviente Jharikhanda-gaura Das

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP. pfanrh. Muy bien. 1. Krsna, Gaura-Nitai son personas. Si esta pensando de esta manera puede servir bueno. Con el consejo de Yadu Swami y otros pienso puede establecer un buen estandard. Como esta el Jayanta Das, Jaga mohana Das?
