Dear Guru Maharaja

First of all, I would like to apologize for the delay in my report, and also hope that his health this very well.

In this time that has passed without writing the blog (3 months), has been an emotionally difficult stage well,

ASA - AGTSP   paoho  That's because you didn't write to the Blog!!

with many personal and existential questions, but never far from krishna temple and devotees.

time was very weak, reading and rounds, but after applying his advice commencer get enough rest and relax a little, After all,  has been pretty good results.

my sadhana has improved little by little, a lot to improve, but having my deities at home helped me a lot, to take more excitement in my life in general.

Basically my life is in normal

- Rounds: 16 daily, but still ending late at night for various activities, I have to improve

- Reading: Bhagavad Gita again trying to read a verse a day to keep the habit of reading, and upadesamrita on their way to college and home, between my activities.

- Regulative principles: Regulative principles: I am following all the 4 principles, and never abandoned them.

- Temple: I am, not fixed service now, and attend one to two times a week

With my devoted friends, we had a meeting to help us move forward spiritually and materially, after this meeting, we decided to start making programs namahatta in our homes.

A Few months ago started doing namahatta, we all do a program in our homes, We All Have our deities at home, and help us to study, share sadhu sanga and prasadam, the notion is to want to Improve every day, and loving our exchange to improve as people and friends, so Then start to invite more people new to our programs.

members who make our group namahatta there  disciples of bhaktibhusana Swami (Yoria Reyes -), Jayapataka Swami ( Karuna Jagannatha devi dasi - Pia Lillo), Devamrita swami (Ramakeli das-Danakeli devi dasi) and hanumat presaka swami (Raga Sindhu das, Janardana Gopal Das, Nanda nandana das, Candrarekha devi dasi (I).

Well guru maharaja, this is a complete report on all these months, in a next report makes some questions but not to extend the text.

Thank you very much for your time in reading this letter and please accept my most humble obeisances and excuse my bad English.

I enclose with this letter, a picture of my altar in my home, and our group namahatta<img alt="yes" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.gif" title="yes" />

HpS - Jaya!   Bueno.   Bueno.      Claro, mejor Japa temprano  TODO va a mejorar!  Mire la sugerencia de Viaje a Santiago ITENARARIO.   Esta bien?

Hare Krsna Maharaj
AGTSP
PAMHO.
How is your throat infection? I never thought it could be this severe (persevering for so many days).

HpS - ASA - Neither, I.   Three weeks now.  We maybe eat an extra banana once a day but we are also exercising, like this letter blog and walking 45-minutes each night with NGD, so that should not be such a great problem.    Some persistent contamination hanging onto the soul. Some vanity to give up. Obviously its related to envia of Krsna and Guru and Vaisnava. Hmmmm.    Fasting, chanting, fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of liquid, Hari Bolo.

We hope that you would have got mail from our wife. We are sorry that you got mail directly from female with matter of biological details.[same mail was sent to Anantrupa prabhu].

we had one question over prabhupada sannyasa?

We all know that he tolerated his wife and children for many years and tried to induce Krsna consciousness in them. But all the efforts were in Vain. Then at one point he took sannyasa.

But from Lilamrita we understand that Sril Bhatkisiddhanta Saraswati Maharaj came in dream of Prabhupada twice [as i remember] and told him to take sannyas.  But Srila Prabhupada  did not implement those order [please correct me if i am wrong].

HpS - As we remember he said that he was "Horrified" to think if taking Sannyasa, yet he consulted with Prajna kesava Swami, his Godbrother, and he "pulled him out of Maya".  So then he took Sannyasa, no?

In Prabhupada's lecture we heard that he says it was mistake that He did not obey those orders and delayed his sannyasa.

Now acaryas do the pastime which are inconceivable for common man like me. Even i think  i can misunderstand it.

My question: what lessson  should one take from this pastime of Srila Prabhupada.

1. Tolerate wife and kids till the age of vanprastha and then leave them
2. Leave them if they are not contributing [as Prabhupada  says it was mistake to delay his Sannyas].

I know I am not Prabhupada, neither I have father like Gour Mohan De, who taught him everyhting needed to understand culturally what is right or wrong.

But I remember we are suggested to follow acaryas. I am not able to understand/identify the foot prints of acaryas i Need your help in understanding them. or May be i such a sinful man that i can not even understand or follow the foot steps.

aspiring to be disciplined by you

HpS - ASA - -    Thank you.  We had warning of letter from you and as soon as we saw even little hint of "biological details" we answered that such details should go to some nice Grhastha like Sri Hari Das in Boise and even them maybe more specifically his wife can talk with these detaisl with yoiur good wife.  We need Ashrama gurus.  Men  need men, women need women.

One citation that I took as a determining point and also saw another Godbrother attracted to it years later is in the BG some place where Srila Prabhupada says that if family can sit together morning and evening and sing some Bhajans together, discuss their purports and the purport of some revealed scripture, then there is no need to take Sannyasa.

Of course, there has to be consensual discussion about how much money to make, how many kids to have, how much fame to have, that challenge is there but if people are basically willing to dedicates some time morning and evening to hearing what Krsna has to say then it sould all be practical.

We all missed you on Japa Joe this morning!!!  Now we go for walk with NGD!!

HARE KRISHNA !!!

HpS - Jaya!   TlgaSP      Claro encontramos mucho en nuestra Foro, Japa Joe, Cada Manana.         Estamos, aun, en Tennessee.  Es un placer no viajar y luchar con internet, todo, tan mucho. Pero esta infermidad casi grave con la garganta, todo.   Adelante.   Si hay cual quiere cosa bueno en esta mundo, que hablar de algo espiritual, es misericoridia de Krsna. Sankirtana es la mas gran manifestacion de misericordia de Krsna.  O.K.  Siente personas esta fin de semana, 14 proxima, 28 proxima!!!                 Oooop.   Todo el mundo esta buscando un gran cambio de filosofia!   Tenemos!                   Tiene estudios sistematicos de SB en su communidad?

Todas las glorias a Sri Sri GouraNitay!!!!!!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!!

Todas las glorias y mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias a sus pies de loto Gurudev!!!!!!

HpS - ASA  - Pies de Lodo.

Nrsimhadeva le de buena salud y proteja cada uno de sus pasos...

Muchas gracias por sus instrucciones, son lo qué más necesito. Bueno, estoy cantando las 16 rondas diariamente y siguiendo los 4 principios estrictamente, estudiando los libros de SP y cada noche contamos pasatiempos con mis hijos, estoy haciendo servicio en el templo una vez por semana, el 11 de junio comienza una maratón de sankirtan para el placer de SP,

HpS - ASA - Esperamos que encuetra a mucha gente innocente enviado por Krsna!

tendré como compañera a Fernanda así que estoy muy feliz!!!!, tratando de ser mejor, no soy una mala persona Gurudev, pero mi inteligencia es de última categoría, estoy entrenando mi mente para que sea más humilde, externamente puedo parecer muy humilde, pero yo sé que soy tan orgullosa con tanto ego falso,

HpS - ASA - Mas hermosa y pura que Nive Blanca!  Ha!   Ha!    Ha!   (Conocemos esta tipo de ego. Cada dia confrontamos en nuestra espejo!)

de qué, no lo sé, no sé de que pueda sentirme tan orgullosa si mi vida ha sido un fracaso, lo único que tengo es a RadhaKrishna y estoy esforzandome por ser cuidadosa en mis tratos con los devotos y reestableciendo la relación con usted Gurudeva por que debido a mis tantas imperfecciones no había notado lo importante que es para mi vida espiritual, sola no soy capaz de hacer ningún avance....

Con el padre de mis hijos sólo mantenemos contacto por los niños, pero creo que así es mejor, aveces hay relaciones que no son sanas y es mejor así...

HpS - Las Gorrillas quedan juntas con los ninos y los Gorrillos otro lado con sus mismos. Usualmente como 10 - 20 metros de distancia en el jungle buscando brotes.  Si viene un tigre las madres y ninos gritan, y los machos viene!!!  Y los tigres salen.

Esta bien!

La vida hogarena.

 No es muy Romeo y Julieta, pero proteja de los tigres!!!

(Y hay bastante brotes interesantes   y    asociacion con otros chicas con ninos.  Eso es bien.  Puede ser mas.  Pero es bien.   No empuja el rio.  Canta Hare Krsna accepta la arregla familiar que tiene y trata adjustar como es mejor.  Mejor como todos puede servir a Laksmi y Narayana!  (Tiene 16 anos)).

Una pregunta Gurudev??? una vez yo le pedí refugio, eso fue hace mucho tiempo, yo quería saber respetuosamente si aún después de todo este tiempo y de ser una absoluta tonta y perdida puedo tener la misericordia de servir a sus pies de loto????

HPS - Krsna es el objeto de servicio.  Si podemos ver como unos estan occupado en su servicio podemos ayuda ellos!    Muy bien.  Para formalidades tiene que hablar con Ramakeli Prabhu, no?    Es buen devoto.   Tiene que tomar iniciacion, primero, segundo, tercero!    No sea solamente una Gorrilla, pero advanzar a un Chimpanzee!!!

Me despido Gurudeva hasta mi próximo reporte, sé que debo profundizar, y que tengo tantas cosas que hacer, la verdad es que debo ponerme al día en mi vida espiritual....MUCHO TRABAJO!!!!! Gracias por inspirarnos Gurudev!!!!!

ASA - TlgaSP

Se despide una aspirante a su misericordia

Hare Krishna,

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

It is strange how things turn out. Reb and I have been having a series of fights. We are usually arguing about different things during the same conversation. I'll spare the details (I could go on and on). I suggested to her that we not live together for some time. I thought that was reasonable. Since then, Krishna arranged for it to be so regardless of my choice. Caru and Vai asked that we do that also. That was also something that we had to argue about. I'm not really sure what happened with her, but she won't even talk to me. It  has gone to a further extreme than I anticipated. We'll see how it goes. Nervous, confused, lost, and undeserving of my blessings as always...

Your fallen servant,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS -  Jaya!   AgtSP.     Do you want to exploit her for your peace or do you want to help her?

Hare Krishna your Holiness Hanumat Preshaka Swami Maharaja,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Gouranga!

Maharaja, I have been studying psychology heavily lately and came across all emotions have to relate with 'fear of death'/survival, I remember you discussing this in class lecture last time you were in Boise. After reading it I have felt heavily unemotional and disillusioned lately, now whenever I walk around I feel like theres some sort of empty hole in my mind, devoid of any love/affection for anybody or anything, really. I have started to worry this might be very bad for devotional service, do you think so? Or is Bhakti independent of any subtle mind/intellect/ego's conditions because it is Nirguna and in the Spirit Self, laying dormant inside the heart??

By the way.. that note I wrote you.... do you think everything will heal in a few years time? Should I just kick myself to the curb back into maya over it; or continue K-Con devotional service? I feel so humiliated that I often feel very, very discouraged every day to do any devotional service and see my life as worthless, but I don't want to be a sob story or anything...

-Your Servant,

Bhakta Reilly (Reilly M. Grindle)

HpS - ASA -   Esteemed Bhakta Reilly,
All stupid things we can do we have done.  Again and again, not just one.

  So don't worry too much about profit and gain.
Rather serve you Deities with careful fixed brain.
   Give them a daily bath and rub them dry. Get Them new things from the marke s you pass by.

Of course, by the blessing of Prabhupada, you should keep Radha Krsna, as soon as you 16-4 is steady.  Don't deviate.  They have to suffer.
