Hare Krishna!!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All Glories to Sankirtana movement.

All Glories All Glories to Sri Guru & Sri Gauranga!!

Please accept my humble obeisances to your very soft apple blossom feet!

            HpS - ASA -    A G T S P ! ! !      Who can turn thorns into roses.

......Thank you again and again for allways serve Srila Prabhupada's preaching mission, your constant endeavor is our solace and inspiration for pushing ourselfs in this KC.

Sadhana is going very nice, waking up at 1 am every day for this 3 weeks, (of course sleeping earlier also[i know i cannot hold this standar forever, but i wanted to have a little taste of that, "if there is nice K-Prasad in front of you, you won't think 'tomorrow i can't eat that' isn't it?") chanting 8 rounds before working on SB edition and then a 15/20 min nap before mangalaratika, then finishing 16 rounds and reading, the rest of the day doing very few practical service but trying to focus on the edition (the fastest we finish the fastest we can have SB in spanish), starting next week that will change, because i have to start studying Canto 2, and last class ends at 8, so maybe going bed 9, waking 3, with your blessings; following 4 principles in gross level, it's so hard to follow completly in the subtle level! (please advice me).

             HpS -   Srila Prabhupada said that he had been in the Sannyasa ashrama for many years but still he had thoughts about his former wife.  He said,    that is natural, but I don't go back.   That is intelligence.   So, because of the birth that we have taken we will have lusty thoughts maybe until we die, but if we engage in service then we can let them pass and get back to service.  Maybe when we get to Bhava they won't occur any more.  Hmmm????          But Maya is still there at Bhava but she can't confuse us.  Hare  Krsna.  Minimize the Maya!  Don't entertain her..

......i also wanted to participate in the 4/july vow!! maybe that will give me enought strenght, i have this 3 weeks not taken dinner, i will keep it 'till 4/july, plus 20 enthusiastic rounds and 4 principles! (with your blessings).

          HpS -  Nice experiment.   Monkey and Piggy have not watched any Sherlock Holmes movies, but they still watch BBC documentaries.       They have to PUSH to read the KRSNA book even when they are exhausted!!

....All i wish is to "desire to study Srimad Bhagavatam life after life with Lord Nityananda as my Teacher" that i can some day achieve if i keep taking the shelter of your apple blossom feet (wich personally, don't see any difference in softness with the lotus feet)...    

                 HpS - Does Lord Nityananda watch "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"?

Trying to surrender to your guidance

Bh. Christian

                HpS - Jaya.   It is 5.30PM.   It has taken us 30-years to get the diet that we are using now.    Lots of Ayurveda help etc.       It works.    Hope it is faster for you.        Now,   Yahoo.mail.   Bath... Japa... and then at 7PM is the Dharma Den....   Program in house next to the Temple for new people.

hare krsna maharaj,
thank you for replying to all the posts till now. last post report was noe\de 3129].
you asked us questions like " can you chant four rounds with full attention and concentration?   Whatever it takes.     Of course this is like lifting heavy weights, hard, hard work, but can you do that?        No, two rounds???     What? "

answ: we can chant rounds with good attention provided we happy sleep and no boday ache. but such circumstances are very rare. without them we can some how force is able to listen mantras properly, but there is a lot of scope on improvement. but we feel very uneasy if we dont chant 16 rounds.

            HpS - ASA =   AGTSP.   Paoho.    You are really advancing a lot.  How is your good wife and good son and good parents and good professors and good classmates?      Yes, as we get stronger internally we can chant good Japa with poor physical situation.    Yes, 16-even bad rounds have an effect!

....current sadhana:  drank 250ml wated on nirjala for nature's call. after no water or food. only air and thoughts. did karma yoga till 2am. 

           HpS  -   Was good experience.  "Thoughts"  were better than normal?

...regulalry 16 rounds, every alterante day sansar dava [ we need to expand to nrsingh arti, tulsi pooj, siksa astak, flowe, incense]

           HpS - Not necesary expand, just keep "Wake Up Radha-Krsna!", Gurv-astaka, Kirtan, Japa, SB, Prasadam ....    Make-A-Lot-Of-Money    .....  Evening program for/with family...   If you like to expand O.K.             Tulasi!!!

     .....heavily violated one rule, we wont go in detail. it seems we are repressing it simply without dovetaling. Now for householder issues we are taking help of Urmila Mataji and Anant Rupa pr. Urmila   Mataji recommended us [i] Bhaktyaloka of BVT -- very good commentary on noi 2,3  [ii] non violent communication. things are improving, but dont know if  they are improving at right pace.

           HpS - Ashrama Guru's Ki Jai!!!!      "Right Pace" - We are immortal.   Get the job quickly done, if that is really lots of fun.

Every time we think of becoming formal aspirant. after 20 days, we surrender to our mind. we want to follow 4 rules , but can not maintian dozen of wife and kids.. details we can not discuss.

        HpS - You are informal disciple.  Others are formal disciples.    Both are good.   Keep working on your problems.      I hear over and over again that so many people are listening to these letters.    I would estimate that there are 25-people with the same problems you have, no details, trying to solve them.  Yes, we are in Sannyasa situation. We cannot deal with certain things.   Others are Ksatriyas.  They cannot deal with certain things that a Sannyasi can.           Prabhupada could not sit in a street side cafe in Paris to wait for the car because they served meat and wine there because he was an Acharya.  He did austerity of standing up.         Ashrama guru, Ki Jai!

..... sankirtana: many people come towards these days both bachelor devotees and phd students to ask many questions, we give them books, make them read vedabase.com.
Hail Bhvai, even a fall man like us can say something. People really appreciate SP purports.

......we got your letter to manipur.  devotee from agartala asks about your welfare, so we asked him to read blog.

..... we have relaized our mind is main culpirt, and we listen and obey to it a lot.
we wanted to ask {if you can reply scientifically/pyschologcally] [ i ]what are mechanisms of mind control?  [ii] what is the science of mind control through maha mantra ? [iii] why when we have inadequte diet its very easy to loose mind control [iv] why does mind feel calm in temple environment}

               HpS -   Did you see the Japa-Joe.pptx that we linked in  the last Kapi-Dhvaja?    We opened the "Two Psychology Schools" link that you gave us.  We read the intro and it was very valuable to know what the schools are now, but seemed too detailed for us to read nust now.   Help us develop our writing, pptx, stuff so that it is useful.     I think 90% of the answers that we have to your above questions are in the japa-joe.pptx.     Tell us what you think.        We are trying to develop these things systematically.    We added like five more slides to the Japa-Joe.pptx and consider it maybe finished.  We have to post that final version and then wait for reviews.          Now we have started a dialog with Carl Jung...  There are so many things we can say, but 90% of the job is now trying to edit them into the right time and place.

Our phd is going fine,we got our guide change , he has roots in  pyschology [bachelor,master and phd]

          HpS - What is his name????       Uncle Gismo is thinking of offering a PhD from.. Doctor of Phalocracia.

...... in Lilamrta we learned that SP asked only question from HDGBSST. We have asked you many questions except the most important one," how can i serve you ?"
trying to follow the Saint,
dwarf

          TB - Esteemed Dwart, you are doing very well serving HpSwami....   You are not giving up in the face of obstacles.   You are becoming a useful tool.   You have already done incredible service,  Kolkatta Museum Show et al.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva:

A G T S P !

PAOHO 

Gurudeva hope this meets U in really good health 

       HpS -  AGTSP.........      paoho.     Brother Ass is 65 years old.  USA years. So, we have limits, but really we are 100 times better than people who never got Srila Prabhupada's mercy.

My sadhana is Ok 1:30 am japa joe, reading SB and BG, 

4principles, 17 rounds and my service after talking with my junta in pujari is not anymore being in charge but I have one day of puja in wilson. So I am focusing on your instruction.

                   HpS - Jaya!    I think Krsna does many things the same time.  Maybe He wanted to get you and LAD to focus less on His Murti and more on other service!

Regarding my protection as a lady I have talked with Rohini kumara prabhu He is now in charge of pujari. I am friend of his wife so I think in him as my protector, He is very kind and good devotee so he accepted , plus we do service together... I am protected now so I feel safer than before. 

Thank  U all so much for your support 

Always trying to be your disciple

            HpS - Aaaachaa!   Interesting.     Very nice.   Then you should have him and Mataji visit. Have programs with them and your sister and mother and dog.  We are just leaving for an evening program.   We are doing pretty well.  Last day in Texas.          1,500 programs about Primary...    School developement here and in Strategy for International development.  Exhausting!            Tommorrow we go to Denver.   Hope the Kapi Dhvaja was O.K.    More news.

Hare Krishna!!!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Querido Guru Maharaja le escribo despues de mucho tiempo,

                HpS - ASA -  TlgaSP!!!  Si!!!!!   !!!

....lo sigo por Internet. 

Hoy hace tres años me dio la misericordia de mi iniciacion, desde entonces han pasado muchas cosas con mi vida pero una excluyente, que Krishna se ha instalado en mi corazon y rige en todas mis acciones de acuerdo a mi karma.

                       HpS -  Super!

Tengo muchas novedades pero me gustaria verlo asi hablamos personalmente, si viene a Sudamerica que por lo que veo no lo tiene determinado aun, el yatra de mendoza esta en una mutacion y Krishna hace arreglos para que podamos servir de mejor manera a su predica.

Hoy tenemos la visita misericordisima de Prabhu Vaiyasaki das, es una gran celebracion!.

Me gustaria si viene a fin de año hacer el arreglo para una visita a Mendoza.

Bueno espero y le deseo la mejor y dulce asociacion de su humilde servidor

Yadupuri das.

Estoy ansioso para empezar el programa de esta tarde con él y todos los devotos.

               HpS -  Oooof!   Unas lineas mas!!!!            No vamos a Sud America si no hay razon!!   Hay mucho impetus for Bhakta Rodrigo de Santiago..

mis respetuosas reverencias a Srila Prabhupada.¡¡¡

mis respetuosas reverencias a usted maharaja.¡¡¡

Maharaja, desde Tacna Peru, le informa Bhakta Italo,

           ASA -  Mucho Gusto.  TlgaSP!

mi sadhana esta mucho mejor, voy cantando 16 rondas casi cuatro semanas seguidas, estoy celebrando Bhima ekadasi, deseando todas las bendiciones que ofrece este ekadasi, tambien mis principios estan mejorando, el impulso sexual controlando con los pasatiempos de Krishna

                             ASA - ....... ... . l..     ... ! .

y las gopis, y me va bien lo leo todos los dias, tambien canto 3 rondas ni bien levanto de la cama, de vez en cuando dibujo y estamos leyendo libros en compañia de Abuelita.

            Mi abuelita toma prasadam todos los dias y sigue 4 principios y canta hasta mas de 16 rondas; a veces mira television, ya va asi mas de un año, ella quisiera tomar refugio de usted Maharaja, y desea seguir sus instrucciones; ella es viuda no tendra ningun obstaculo

Vivimos en tacna los dos, y recibimos visitas de devotos, ahora esta aqui Prabhu Advaita

                  asa -   Oooof!   Super... Unos fotos de.  1)  Su abuelita y Vd.     2)  De su arte...     3) De unos amigos con Vd.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada
Todas las  glorias a Usted Gurudeva
 

Querido Gurudeva
Por favor acepte mis más respetuosas reverencias

Aquí Bhakta Rodrigo de Santiago de Chile. Muchas gracias por su asociación por skype y a través del blog. 

Espero que Usted se encuentre muy bien. Para saber de Usted, leemos blog monkey warrior y boletín Kapi Dhvaja.

En mi última carta le contaba acerca de esa Secta en Chile que mató un bebé de tres días, secta que estaba formada por puros jóvenes (hombres y mujeres) y fueron engañados por un falso Guru o falso profeta.

Ahora le escribo a Usted por otras razones:

1-Hace dos años atrás Usted me dió la instrucción de organizar un concurso de Poesía Devocional. Gracias a Krishna pudimos organizar este concurso dos veces: Los años 2011 y 2012.
            ASA - TlgaSP....   Ser o no ser, eso es la pregunta!

Mi pregunta es que tal vez podríamos organizar para este año un nuevo concurso de Poesía Devocional pero a nivel latinoaméricano.
                  ASA - No, se?   Si Krsna quire si!!!
 

                                              La otra alternativa es que un devoto amigo me dió la idea de organizar un concurso literario entre devotos/as sobre Pasatiempos de Sankirtan. Esta idea me gustó mucho.
                                  ASA -  Si,   si,   Muy bueno!
 

¿Qué opina Usted? ¿Tal vez organizar un concurso de Poesía Devocional donde se glorifique el Sankirtan (distribución de libros)?

 
                                                                           2- Prabhu Isaías Correa de ISKCON Santiago grabó y editó la conferencia que Usted dió en el Centro Cultural Palacio La Moneda.

El link para ver y escuchar la conferencia es: (saltar publicidad)

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/10437398/conferencia_hanumatpresaka_swami/?noFBRedirect=1

         ASA - Jaya!

3-Está de visita por primera vez en Chile Su Gracia Vaiyasaki dasa y su esposa. Prabhu Vaiyasaki es muy famoso entre los devotos del mundo por sus conciertos (Kirtan), pero además de ser un gran músico y cantante sus clases de Bhagavad-Gita son MUY, MUY BUENAS. Yo he podido grabar en video dos conciertos y algunas clases de Bhagavad-Gita en el Templo.

4-Estuvimos participando en Conferencia sobre Surrealismo en Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. Varios expertos importantes y un solo burro (yo). En esa actividad pude realizar que para dar una buena conferencia NO basta con saber sobre el tema y escribir un buen ensayo, sino que también hay dar una conferencia entretenida, cautivar la atención del público y no ser aburrido.

Hay que tener personalidad y carisma para dar una buena conferencia y yo más bien soy tímido. Además un buen conferencista tiene que tener una buena estructura mental.

De todos modos, hacemos estas actividades porque el objetivo principal es hacer buenos contactos para Usted y sus conferencias. Eso es lo más importante para mí.

Meditando en todo esto, me dí cuenta que las conferencias de Usted son clases magistrales!

5-No recuerdo quien fue, pero en facebook encontramos esta foto de Usted donde recibe iniciación Sannyasa! Jaya!

6-Espero volver a escribir por otras cosas en 15 días.

Su inútil aspirante a sirviente,

Bhakta Rodrigo
