Haribolo. PabloParikrama.

12 years, 9 months ago by PABLOPARIKRAMA in Personal Sadhana Reports
Agt Srila Prabhupada!!
Agt Sri Caitanya y Sri Nityananda!
Hare Krsna Maharaja, Pamho.
Soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de españa.
Espero que se encuentre muy bien  Maharaja, llevo un tiempo sin escribir pero he podido seguir el blog mas o menos.
Yo sigo con las 16 rondas, los cuatro principios,
 
     ASA --   TlgaSP!!!!   Milagro...  Bueno!
 
...pero estoy intentando mejorar mi Sadhana, intentando levantarme siempre al Brahma-muhurta, cosa que aun no hago siempre.
 
 
    ASA -  Si, tiene que hacer!
 
Poquito a poco, creo que lo voy consiguiendo. Sobre todo tengo que intentar no acostarme tarde para levantarme mas facilmente por la mañana.
He empezado a practicar Astanga-yoga. Por ahora solo asanas y un poquito de pranayana. Me esta siendo util para poder centrar mejor mi sadhana y meditacion diaria.
Cuando practico asanas y pranayama me parece sentir, que las actividades del Bhakti yoga, son mas como asanas y pranayama, que como actividades externas.  Me recuerdan a la sensacion de limpiar el templo, vestir las deidades o dar reverencias, y asi.
He bajado un poco la lectura de los libros de Srila Prabhupada, porque he tenido que leer mucho de otras cosas, espero arreglarlo.
La familia esta bien. Varuna creciendo, cada dia es mejor nuestra relacion, y ya era muy buena.
La finca Balarama Loka, va bien, creciendo, ahora es mas grande, y las cosas van danda sus frutos, pequeños frutos pero empezando. En primavera esperamos que sea muy bonito.
Hemos hecho un gran esfuerzo para poder llevar el ritmo de la naturaleza, pero aun tenemos que mejorar en lo mas importante, el Sadhana y las Rondas.
Creo que eso es todo Maharaja. Yo en este tiempo, creo que he madurado un poco.
Me acuerdo mucho de Usted y espero que nos podamos ver cuando venga a España.
Hare Krsna.
 
    ASA -  Jaya!   Tenemos boletos pasar tres semanas en Espana en Mayo.   Tiene que leer regularmente.   Desarrolla un habito, para los libros,palabras, mantras de Srila Prabhupada, entonces va a apreciar su valor!!   Adelante a volver a su relacion eterno con Krsna!!!  Estamos afuera la lucha!

Vyasapuja offering and Personal Report, Nitya Kishori dd

12 years, 9 months ago by b.Natalia Molina in Personal Sadhana Reports, Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

In the occation of your Vyasapuja I want to thanks that I have the mercy of your association, showing me the path, being an inspiration, and a representative of Krsna, of the guru parampara. Thank you for accepting me as your disciple, although I don't deserve it. In this age, we have the biggest fortune, that common and materalistic people like me can have contact with vaisnavas like yourself. Thank you for giving us your association through the blog, reports, webex... It reminds me that real life is in Krsna Conciousness. It reminds me that Krsna Conciousness is deep, intense. That devotional service for Krsna is very serious business. I pray I can make progress in my love (service) for Krsna and Srila Prabhupada under your guidance, in order to be your real disciple.

Report:
Marathon finished. I don't know yet my score exactly. It is not much much, around... 1800 small book, 120 LOB, 20 big books, 17BG... I am ashamed because I didn't my best. I did not work so hard. My mind becomes tired soon and I didn't push it to the limits, only some pushing to the mind. Now I feel sad and ashamed, because other devotees made more for Krsna, and it is not only for the result or honor. But there is a satisfaction when you give everything to Krsna, I see other devotees can taste this, but because I am "miser"(avaro) I didn't gave everything to Krsna, I kept attached to my comfort in mind and body, so now I cannot taste this spiritual satisfaction of having made a big endeavor for Krsna. So I feel sad. I feel ashamed with Prabhu Aravinda, because I think he expected more. He didn't tell anything of course, but I feel sad I cannot offer a better endeavor and result to my authorities and Krsna . Compared to other matajis I did half... But at the same time I am very grateful I could make something for Krsna, I am grateful for each book I gave, I tried to do it with as much devotion as I have. I hope, if I cannot go beyond the limits of my mind and body, at least I can become steady, and do this service all my life, and improve my love and devotion to my service, in order to really please Krsna.

I gave my email to some very interested people in the marathon, and they wrote to me with very nice comments about the books. One person even came the 31th to the temple (but I think he also had a motivation for me as mataji... so I tried to talk to him with other devotees present, and to preach to him very clearly, showing that it was to share spiritual knowledge that we approach people. He took a BG. But I was thinking what to do in this cases?)

Thank you Gurudeva
All glories to your service to Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!!

Your servant, Nitya Kisori dd

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP   paoho.   Thank you very much. I think that if you go ahead with this attitude you will solve all your problems. You will be able to render pure devotional service unmixed with passion for short term results.   Thank you so much.  Adelante.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Hare Krishna Gurudeva please accept my obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!.
I am sorry that I did not comunicate  in such a  long time . 
We are finally returning to live in Buenos Aires in a month or so, things got much worst  here, and just finished  with many debt but thanks to Krsna we are fixing that , but I think not so good to continue like this  with a child.
 On sunday will celebrate your  Vyasa puja in the temple at noon, hopefully  you be pleased with our service to you, although we know is insignificant.  We continue our service to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai on Fridays in the temple until we get back to Argentina ,are you  going to Argentina this year? I regret not being able to see you  when you  come here , but im happy to have your holy asociation every day at Japa Joe , thank you so much!,  who want to serve, Sarad Bihari Dasi
 
HpS - ASA -  Jaya!  AGTSP......   Thank you very much for the news.  Ambarisa Das and Vbndd are looking toward a rural project.  Maybe you could join that?
What is the news of Mangal-ananda Das???? ???/ ?? ? ? ?   ??

Hare Krishna moving and updates

12 years, 9 months ago by Bhakta Reilly in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Hanumat Preshaka Swami Maharaja,

This is Reilly (the boy from the Boise Temple), happy new Roman Calendar year 2013 another year for devotional service..

I just wanted to say thanks to you for all your help and advice :) me and my family have moved into a new house here in Boise for a few months and surprisingly all my siblings and even my Father have taken a liking to Krishna Consciousness and me and my Father + mother built a big beautiful Altar for our Jaganathha and Guara Nitai deity's. You wanted to have some pictures of it so I included them here as well in this Picasa link to the album:

https://picasaweb.google.com/111461816091526999158/ISKCON? authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCKCx5fTj77bmXQ&feat=directlinkWere also moving soon to The East to reside permanently within this next month (if all keeps going well..) my mother and father are thinking of staying in a temple in Dubai, India or somewhere for a bit, then traveling to Spain or Bali for residence. All is going well and I think I'm going to help my brother with Devotional Service as well. As for later in my life, I'm still not sure what career I'd like and be good at; I think I'll just take being a Householder and we'll do our best to serve ISKCON and be committed partners. But that's still years down the road :) I figure that it's always better to still keep going in Devotional life + preaching than not too, despite whatever happens.

Anyhow, I hope things are going well and I'm sorry for any offenses!

Hare Krishna and happy new year, -Bhakta Reilly G.

           ASA -  AGTSP!!!   Thanks for the news!    You have a nice life.  Thanks to Krsna.             Yes, the association with the wife determines a man's career.  B'caris and Sannyasi have no careers.  They live with one foot in this world and one foot in Goloka.        How about 4-principles and 16-rounds?   4AM Mangala arati/Kirtan  -  SB?   Are they a regular habit?   That's the first part of your career.  More things later.

Empezamos Nueva Vrindavan en Colombia!

12 years, 9 months ago by jambavan in Personal Sadhana Reports, Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Querido Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias! Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada!

Espero que se encuentre bien Gurudeva. Como ve soy muy mal discipulo, le escribo tan pocas cartas!

Estoy en Colombia, hemos comprado tierra para el proyecto de varna-asrama...

El ultimo año en España tuve muy mal sadhana, no estaba cantando rondas, 0 rondas.

Gracias a Krishna estoy mejorando mis rondas en estos 4 meses que ya llevamos en Colombia. Cantando 16 rondas muchos dias, aunque otros dias no estoy todas cantando mis 16 rondas.

Los principios los estoy siguiendo mucho mejor, la vida en el campo es buena para esto, aunque estoy comiendo granos cocinados por no-devotos, como pan y pizza y cosas asi.

Estoy leyendo el Caitanya Caritamrita madhya-lila.

Nuestro trabajo aqui como grihastas ha sido buscar y comprar una finca, pero no es solo para la familia, si no que estamos comprando la tierra lo mas grande posible para que vengan mas familias.

La finca esta a una hora y media de Medellin, en un pueblo muy turistico llamado Guatape. Son 27.000 metros (2,7 has). Aqui esperamos poder organizar para recibir a muchas familias y vamos a poder hacerlo mas grande cuando mas y mas familias vengan.

Ya estamos sembrando frijol, maiz y papa. La tierra es muy buena aqui para cultivar! El proximo proyecto es comprar una vaca.

Aqui le muestro unas fotos de la finca:

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.516602351704837.118180.100000652296677&type=1

Es un lugar muy agradable por la gente, campesinos que sus padres y abuelos y muchas generaciones atras eran todos campesinos. Siempre nos invitan a arepa y queso los vecinos, y un vecino nos regala leche todos los dias de sus vacas. Son gente muy pacifica, tenemos que aprender de ellos, lastima que toman aguardiente!

Seguiremos informando.

Esperamos invitarle para que venga a visitarnos pronto a Colombia, aunque debemos recuperarnos economicamente antes!

Espero que este muy bien, Hare Krishna!

            ASA -  TlgaSP!    Pensamos en los pies de loto de Srila Prabhupada en primero lugar en cualquier cosa realizamos. Eso es el perspectivo para nosotros. SI, eso es la comenza, y despues expandiendo a tierras, agricutura, vacas, sociedad. Entonces solamente puedo comentar si esta poniendo buena esfueza en Nama-japa y Kirtana va a ver cosas expandiendo bien.    Si, tenemos preocupacion no oir de nuestras alumnos. Mas y mas de su lucha con la Bruja.
