att:bhakta jorge

ASA -  Super bien entender mas de Vd.     Esta en comunicacion con Nimai y Gundica acerca de visitar el Templo?

AgtSP. Pamho Maharaja.

Soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de España.

Espero que se encuentre muy bien en todos los aspectos Maharaja.

HpS - ASA  -  TlgaSP          Jaya Radhe!          Jaya Krsna!     Jaya Vrndavana!      Despues de obtener entrada en la Vraja mandala parikrama, solo un tonto va a dejarlo.    A veces la parikrama pasa por ciudades y fincas en Espana, aveces Peru, pero solament estamos pasando en parikrama en diferentes partes de Vrndavana

Por favor Maharaja le pido que perdone todas mis ofensas hacia Usted y en el Servicio.

ASA =   Nos es igual.

Creo que no he hecho bien dejando a las deidades en la granja, pense que estando aqui en Madrid Mandir seria molesto para ellas, y que alli en Balarama Loka podrian estar mejor, pero me doy cuenta que no era un decision correcta. Creo que no van a estar en ningun sitio mejor que conmigo aqui, seguro que les gusta el ambiente de levantase temprano, el movimiento incesante en el Ashrama por Seva, poder estar donde se realiza tanto servicio...me voy a traer a Gaura-Nitay tambien, mis padres le pueden ofrecer la comida a alguno de los cuadros que tienen, mi madre se lo ofrece muchas veces a una pintura que tiene en la cocina.

Estoy muy ilusionado con traermelas, porque realmente, me las subieron mis padres, subieron Ellas de Torrevieja a la granja para que las cuidara yo y las he vuelto a dejar,  ha sido un error, ademas se merecen unos cuidados mas cercanos.

HpS  -  Pues, puede experimentar.  Llevando a Madrid con Vd. pero observando como pasan las cosas con sus Padres, Ellos, Temple de Madrid y adjustar.  Puede pasa poco tiempo con Vd.  poco con sus padres.   La vida espiritual es un gran adventure!

Muchas gracias por siempre ayudarme a progresar en mi servicio y por protejerme.

Estos dias en Japa Joe, como ya tengo las rondas cantadas cuando me conecto me distraigo un poco mas con los chat,  intentare ser un poco menos molesto para no distraer, y no distraerme, pero es que  es maravilloso este grupo de amigos, con mis mayores respetos para Usted Maharaja. Pamho.

Su intento de sirviente, Bhakta Pablo.

HARE KRSNA.

ASA -    Whoop!       Whoop!       Oink!            Oink!

Querido Guru Maharaja, por favor ,acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias postrado a sus divinos pies de loto.

ASA -  Tom Brown aqui.   TlgaSP      HpSwami no tiene pies do loto.  Son casi ordinarios con bastante picaduras de mosquitos.  Pero es en el sendero detras de Srila Prabhupada por la misercordia de el y siguiedores de SP!!

con la autorizacion de los devotos mayores estoy recitando su Pranam mantra espero que esto sea de su agrado ,deseando que se encuentre bien de salud y siempre esperando sus bendiciones su aspirante a sirviente  bhakta Francisco de Buenos Aires.

HpS - Jaya!      Muy bien!      San Francisco!     Muy bien!      Esta vendador en "hardware store", ferretaria (?), no?        Puedo recordar a Vd ahora muy bien!   Jaya!

Puede hablar de la filosofia de Con. De K. con ellos en su trabajo explicando como "Mi abuelito dijo."

Dear HH Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,

Please accept my most humble obeisances and All Glories to Srila Prabhupaada!!!

I have been "troubled" these last couple of days thinking about family and things in regards to getting married. I have yet to tell my parents about my plan to marry Adrian, but I think they have a slight idea. One of my biggest things throughout my whole life is not wanting to disappoint people, especially those close to me (impossible task, I know!). I also feel like my parents expect things of me similar to my sister, and I am not a thing like her in any way, shape, or form, haha. Anyway... the conversation that will ensue with my parents has been playing in my head a lot, and, although I really have no way of knowing which way the conversation will turn, I am secretly praying for Krishna to turn their hearts in our favor. We are not very "materially" soundly situated, but for our circumstances, I think we are doing very well.. how to explain these things to them so they don't worry?!

HpS - AGTSP paoho Hmmmmmmmm! I don't k-now the details of your situation. Ha! Ha! Ha! (re)! As far as I understand, you left Hawaii with Adrian with the permission, blessings of your parents. The fact that they let you travel with him and live with him is really a declaration that they accepted you as accepting him as your husband. That is the the way the universe works. When a lady lives with a gentleman they are married.

Booop! Finished.

Of course these things should be done with better arrangements, and in the future, with the power of Bhakti yoga you can do that, but now, here we are in Kali yuga. It's going to be tough, but the other options are also tough. One option still is to live separately and continue with Bh. Yoga and after initiation, when you are more sure of your relationship to get married. That is difficult. Other arrangement is to continue with your Bh. Yoga and get married now and resolve the problems with your Bh.Yoga. That's tough, but it can work. You just have to decide that you are not going to give up on Krsna or your husband no matter how tough it gets. Maybe that will be a proper explantion to your parents!

Adrian and I are supposed to meet with Caru prabhu and Vaibhavi mataji this Sunday to talk about these things also, I just feel very helpless and confused right now about these things. I am also reading a little on Romapada maharaja's website about grhasta asrama.

I guess what I'm trying at is just some peace of mind on this matter. It is hard for me to gain clarity when my mind keeps going back and forth.

HpS - Talk to Caru and Vaibhavi, your parents. Have them call your parents when you are with them and introduce them and have them talk and consult with their advice and then think about it thoroughly.

Also, on that note, I had another question. Sometimes Adrian and I have little disagreements about things which we talk over, but sometimes (I can't be too sure what it is) how he says or what he says or my interpretation of either, but I get very emotional sometimes (aka I cry), and he tells me that I shouldn't be so emotional. I don't know how to respond to that because I know that I am emotional and I don't mean to be, but it is just there.. is there some way to rectify these situations? Some how to lessen my emotional approach to certain situations?

HpS - He needs to talk to his father! [(0:)- An unemotional Lady and an Illogical Gentleman. These are oxymorons. You should just try to relate you emotions to Krsna consciosness.

In other things! We just recently have spoken with Caru prabhu about starting some bhakti programs at the temple for the new devotees. I am kind of nervous about preaching (feeling unqualified), but I am eager to bring more people to Krishna Consciousness and share this amazing philosophy with everyone <img alt="smiley" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 10px; vertical-align: baseline; outline-width: 0px; background-color: transparent;" title="smiley" /> Maybe... I could get clarification on another thing, too... how is it in Krishna Consciousness we are "superior" or "inferior"? I know in all matters we must be humble and know that there is Krishna in everyone's heart, but as far as age or knowledge of the scripture goes, what is more? Can we instruct those that are older than us if they are unaware of something beneficial for their spiritual life?

HpS - Yes, with their permission.

How does this instruction work between husband and wife? Between friends? I definitely understand that it is more difficult to accept instruction from those younger than you and those whom you are familiar with.

HpS - As we read SB we encounter answers to this with examples of every preaching circumstance. In general we can always preach to those who give us their permission. If not we just listen to them to understand their position more and more and if we are KC from the morning program we will react to what we hear spontaneously and they will appreciate that it is Krsna, SB, talking not us individually.

Anyway, I was thinking to have traditional classes on bhakti yoga on the days when we have new guests and when there are just devotees present, maybe some Vaisnava Etiquette classes? What do you think?

HpS - Books are the basis. The science of self realization, the biography of Srila Prabhupada, these are some books that are good for very new people. Then talk about the ideas. Vaisnava etiquette (Vaisnava Sadacara) can mean how to apply basic principles of Varna ashrama dharma in this modern world. Comportment bewtween ladies and gentlemen, four principles, japa vrata... temple activities.

We are also going to be discussing getting a club started at the big university here in Salt Lake City, so I am looking forward to that very much!

How are you doing, maharaja? Where in the world are you now??? Any idea on when you will visit Boise again? Sri Hari prabhu was saying maybe end of July? We are very anxious for your association!!!

I hope this meets you in great health and happiness

your aspiring servant,

reb :)

HpS - Follow four principles, chant 16 rounds, get up early and have a nice morning program. Get married. Have nice kids. Grow old and be a very sweet, wise Granny and die and go back to your real service!!!

We are in the temple room in the preaching center in Miraflores in Lima Peru. We are having a hard time seeing th escreen. it hurts our eyes. Maybe we will have to stop using computer soon. Ha ha ha!! We should go to the next letters. Please come with us. You letter is nice!!!!!

Hare Krsna Maharajá Resiva mis reverencias ( algún día serán humildes Por su misericordia) muchas gracias por sus respuestas son una motivación muy especial para salir cada Día a sankitana.

Ahora hacemos preparatorias aqui en Guadalajara y le cuento q hoy enviamos cartas a Dos universidades y una prepa estan muy motivados con el proyecto y nos quieren dar un espacio para la próxima semana por favor denis sus bendiciones para poder darles libros a todos esos jóvenes,

Sankitana es un néctar le cuento q hicimos una mini maratón para motivar a los jóvenes de el ksetra de Guadalajara y se distribuyeron como 3600 libros y Nimsy mi líder directo de sankitana los ha motivado mucho es un néctar este servicio

maharajá por favor permita me continuar sirviendolos mediante esta labor . Con respecto al saddhana aqui en Guadalajara ha sido fijo es. Un néctar estar fijo por un tiempo pero cuando viajamOs nos queda difícil Su Santidad nos cantamos las rondas pero no cantamos a prabhupada a menos a lleguemos a templos entonces me gustaría saber como podemos mantenernos como buenos sadhakas viajeros, Los cuatro principios han llegado gracias al servicio maharajá he estado firme siguiendolas mas uno de ellos me cuesta mas trabajo por lo q la lujuria sigue hay pero bueno seguimos luchando y espero q por su misericordia se apasigue ese instinto material por favor explique me como mermar ese sentimiento pues tengo un descepo profundo de tomar votos serios como bramachari para servir mejor.

Me informo la madre Radhika la mama de Nimay prabhu mi líder q Ud. Estará en cueramaro a mitad de año y prabhu Aravinda nos va a capacitar en Bhakti sastri si Krsna lo permite , es cierto eso?

Muchas gracias Su Santidad por ser tan misericordioso con este caído solo oro q algún día por sus bendiciones pueda seguir el polvo de sus pies de loto y así ser un perro fiel en la misión de prabhupada.

Posdata: disculpe mi redacción y cualquier ofensa pues no tengo la etiqueta mas apropiada lo único q se hacer es salir a distribuir libros pero espero ir puliendo mi servicio con su apoyo y sus bendiciones. Haribolooooo!

[BRIAN]

HpS - ASA  -    Estimado Brian, un detalle, por favor firma su carta, no?      Muy bien oir de Vd.    El calendario para Mexico ya no esta fijado.    Aravindo Prabhu dijo que va a hablar con otros miembros de la junta para afilar como puede occuparnos mejor durante nuestra visita.

Fijado en B'cari ashrama es desarrolla el habito no habla con sexo opuesto sino para tiempos cortas para metas de Sankirtana.   Y eso tambien en voz alto como todo el mundo puede entender cual es  la conversacion.

O.K.   B'cari para tres anos, pero despues no es una sorpresa que estamos casados com Kardama y Devahuti.   Eso es el mundo material.   Estamos aqiu por que tenemos deseoa materiales.     O.K.   Pasamos el matrimonio UNA VEZ MAS, como Devahuti y Kardama  y nunca tenemos hacer otra vez.   Servimos la pareja divina!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !
Jay Sri Vrindavam Dham !

HpS -  ASA    ---    AGTSP         paoho         It is very refreshing to hear from you!     Please write more often as you can.     Your schedule sounds, good.    You just need to get a taste for reading Srila Prabhupada's books.       That needs association.     What about making a little association to read and discuss Las "Ensenanzas de Caitanya Mahaprabhu"?         Find one study partner.  Divide the book in to little sections and then read them and discuss then together at the Temple or other place.   Can make small notice about your group and invite others to join your reading circle!!!!!

After you get taste for reading then you will be able to advance the theme of Ashrama dharma: B'cari, Grhastha, Vanapra', Sanyasa.      Vraja is only for the Sannyasis.   Ha!          Ha!                          H a r e !
