Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

I apologize for taking so long to share the video I made for my grandmother, Gauri dd. About 6 or 7 years ago she asked me to put her photos together chronologically and add music to them. She chose the songs by herself according to her stage of life.

In order to have a better understanding of the video, I will provide a brief explanation:

TITLE: "LO QUE EL VIENTO SE LLEVÓ" (GONE WITH THE WIND)

The names of 2 videos "Rukmini's Lost Years" and "Life is Beautiful" are shown at the beginning of the video.

Both were my previous and first video edits.

Then, it is pointed out that this film is based on the life of Gumercinda Miranda (my grandmother's civil name).

Next, a list of the most essential characters appears.

And now, the biography of my grandmother starts:

BIOGRAPHY OF GUMERCINDA (GAURI DEVI DASI)

She was born on January 13, 1949 in Ayavirí, a small town in the province of Yauyos (East of Lima).

HpS - Hey, HHR was born January 12, 1948!

During her adolescence she moved to Huancayo (city in the center of Peru) where she studied in one of the best schools in the area.

She was a very applied student. After finishing school, she met Eurlando Chamilco with whom she married and had 3 children. The youngest is my mother Tarangaksi dd (Tania Chamilco). In 1994, Eurlando, in his quest to learn more about yoga and meditation, met ISKCON devotees. He was a key piece for Gumercinda and Tania to also join Krishna Consciousness.

Gumercinda's parents even chanted the Maha Mantra Hare Krishna. The whole family used to organize Namahattas at home and many devotees and friends attended.

However, in 1996 came a great test for Gumercinda. She had to face the separation of her husband and the consequences that it brought to her family. In order to heal herself, she decided to visit her hometown and then travel to Argentina. She settled in Buenos Aires, in the province of San Martín. For almost 2 years she was working as a caregiver for an elderly lady. On one occasion, on Andonaegui street, she met ISKCON devotees again. She used to visit the temple and attend the programs. In 1999, she decided to return to Peru, since Rukmini was about to be born.

HpS - It is very important that ISKCON has centers all over the world. People make advancement by contacting different centers during their spiritual career. We should see our centers as part of this international web. We give help to people but we may not see the fruit, yet we get people who have made progress in another center.

During the following years, she used to attend Chosica, Shell and Wilson temples, and she performed different services like cooking, arranging vases for altars, making garlands, cleaning, sankirtan, etc.

She was also active in Bhakri Vriksha and Namahatta programs. Due to her intense service to Sri Sri Gaura Nitay and Sri Sri Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra, as well as the mercy of H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami, she formally received Diksha on February 4, 2015, becoming Gauri Devi Dasi. Everyone remembers her for her enthusiasm, sense of humor, charisma, generosity, among other beautiful qualities.

Thank you so much Gurudeva for reading this letter.

Rukmini dd

HpS - Thank you!!! Is this your first movie? Will you make more:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotte_Reiniger

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva,

AGTSP, PAMHO

more esoteric geetings :Lakshmi Narsingh, Gurudeva or Prahlad Narsingh, Gurudeva

HpS had two questions in (post 14214)

1. What will be your literary contribution?

in the current stage of Harsh Pradhan (HP), he feels without being heavily empowered, he might not be able to write anything which might be uplifting to the common man.

he might write bogus scientific papers, contributing to knowledge in mode of ignorance.

moreover, without being in association of scholarly/inspiring devotees he might just be normal person, who chants, eat prasad, make some money, hear some past times and sleeps.

HpS - Abhimanyu could penetrate the Cakra vyuha but did not know how to get out. So he decided that if he just killed the entire Kaurava army there would be nothing left to get out of.

So, just make all the scholarly/inspiring persons around you into devotees and then you will have good association!

HP sees that he is not as sattavic as HpS, Radhika Raman Prabhu or other scholar he has seen.

HpS - If you think like that you are humble. Sri Isaac Newton's first qualification for knowledge.

however muka karoti vacalam, so any thing is possible...

HpS - Yezzzzz! !

so the question to Guruparampara via HpS is

What does Guru Parampara wants HP/haD to write about ?

HpS - Try taking notes about everything funny that happens for one fortnight.

2.Take Sannyasa?

may be , but again here we need Asrama Guru ,

we are not yet firmly integrated with ISKCON.

not sure of married responsibilities

HpS - Point your nose in that direction and start walking.

A Sannyasi can live in ecstacy in Vrndavana.

again-- Panggum Langghayate Girim

may be [email protected] might help to find answers to questions

HpS - Who's address is this?

seeking blessings to become Hayagriva Avatar Das

HpS - 5.27PM going walking with stomach ache, and very very very big eye ache from visiting optometrist.

HK, Guru maharaja. AGTSP, please accpet my humble obeisances.

Reporting from the principal base.

I had desires to join the Brahmacari asrama. Before coming here to Bhakti Shastry, Pancatattva Das give me his saffron clothing,

I have thinking seriously about becoming one before during this period of time and when he give me that I feel more exited about being one, but I don't know how to be one, what I have to do to become one.

HpS - Read and reflect on these:

https://vedabase.io/en/library/lob/19/

https://vedabase.io/en/library/lob/31/

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/9/27/

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/7/12/

Talk to local authorities.

Report on the results of your findings.

Basically be a celibate student!

😃

I can be one? I ask Devaki and he ask Dhanvantari Swami, and he said that is good, but it's all that take to be one? Sure I have to ask you first if I can be one.

HpS - Yes, it is good. At least for some time. If you can serve Krsna well in that ashrama and thne go directly to Sannyasa that is also good!! Great.

Whit few to little to add have a nice time in Krsna consciousness. :^D

(I cannot figure out how to put a little tilaka in to the smilely face ''\_(•-•)_/'')

HpS - Neither I!

Thank you.

Always nice to hear news of Maharaja's ashrama.

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

Maharaj please don’t apologize for replying late 🙏, we are very grateful you think of us.

We are learning stick fighting sequences here, long stick and short stick.

Then they will teach fighting with metal weapons (sword, short, medium, flexible, javalin), then finally fighting with bare hands.

We have learnt many variations of fighting positions (elephant, lion, boar, snake, fish, cat, cock etc).

It’s intense (my vit D levels dropped and I developed lower back pain, and a bad tooth filling popped from clenching/ joined 2 Yr diploma 5-6hrs/day).

Now I’m recovering and reduced few classes until my body understands what to do.

The calls for all the movements are in Malayali, as this artform originated from Kerala.

We are making meticulous notes for future students. I’m constantly wondering which choreographies can be made with these fight sequences. Quite professional.

We were working on the film for you with Yogi from Houston, but got a bit stuck feeling inadequate. Have to learn more about filmmaking.

HpS - ASA - AgtSP!!!! Paoho.... thank you for writing us, ASA. Which Yogi???

In a few weeks I go to Mandi IIT to teach 3 credit course. 14 days, 4hrs/day intensive. 1.5hrs yoga/pranayama/yoga Nidra, 1 hr Odissi, 0.5hrs theory, some HW.

We are trying to design a before and after psychological evaluation for students to fill to understand the therapeutic properties of oriental practices.

HpS - Jaya! Bet it reduces Parkison's Disease.

In the meantime I’ve been applying to PhD programs, emailing professors in US (Harvard/Stanford/MIT etc) interested in research psychotherapeutic benefits of oriental practices to see if my proposal will click. Also applying to AFI, USC, NYU. Wherever Krsna gives scholarship and admission, we will go 🙏.

I've been reading SB daily, need to improve hearing. Morning chanting a little disturbed due to early classes here (but strive for 16rnds before breakfast). Trying to figure out a schedule our body can cope with mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. For this week I’m going to skip morning class so I can chant in Brahms muhurta.

YAS,

SM DD

HpS - Thank you so much. I'm sure a lot of people take good perspective on their own service and Sankirtan from your news.

How about your family?

Poppa, Momma, BIG BROTHER et al?

Any Yatra friends and associates?

Where are you camped specifically? In Vraja?

Thank you!

I'm sure Krsna will give you more and more guidance from directly within your heart!!!

Thank you!

According to the last letter, we tried to reintroduce ourselves. My name is Hariseva Manyari Devidasi I agree to a letter requested by my father to his spiritual master Maharaja Hridayananda Dasa Goswami.

I had a bit of his mercy on his last visit to Mexico this year, the last person to enter the room of his divine grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda on the day of his arrival in Mexico City, where thanks to his mercy he accepted me as candidate.

With many desires to serve you

Thank you very much for all the mercy of him 🌺🙏🙏🙏🌺

HpS - Yes, I think we are remembering your association and your participation in all the programs. Was very enlivening.

1. Are you:

3. following 4-principles,
4. up by 4am for Mangala arati, Kirtan, reading SB,
5. completed the Disciple Course and
6. have letter of recommendation from Temple President.

😰 Ooof! Lots of formalities.

Yet, not without meaning. They show Radharani and Her Divine Grace that we are trying to love Krsna.

Thank you.

Waiting for your news.

Thank you.

HK Dear Maharaja, TgaSSGN . TGASP.

 After the morning program we find ourselves with the ordinary demands of the world... which for a person like one, far from face-to-face associations with devotees, cost. However... in one way or another everything possible is done to remember Krisna at every step... humbly: -putting into practice the instructions of the BG.

Usually with my two children we distribute fruit salads with Greek yogurt around the city, vegetarian milanesas and stuffed breads.

Of course, these preparations are offered on our altar, but since said activity implies the demand for our livelihood. It is hard for us to say without blushing that -we distribute prasadam-

There are always unforeseen events and sometimes this activity is interrupted for some reason, there is always something left that allows you to resume the action.

-Karabhajana Muni addresses King Nimi and tells him – "As the Lord is situated within the devotee's heart, He takes pity on his accidental mistake and corrects him from within"-. (The Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Chapter Five, verse 42)

We sincerely wish not to be offensive.

 We have resumed a "perma beekeeping" and orchard project on a 7-hectare property that had been stopped due to government restrictions. Soon we are going to install the first four hives.

 There is enthusiasm during the day to remember and preach Krsna consciousness to innocent people - the taste of water...

We asked some interested people

Would you like to read something about the "taste of water"?... etc.

What you suggest Maharaja is tried to practice and is heartily appreciated. TgSP

So many things to improve

 We feel that our anguish and fear of death are gradually mitigated. And that indeed old age in progress is an ally.

There is enthusiasm when singing the rounds and willingness to be faithful to the commitment to maintain the standard of the 4 principles.

My gurudeva, JPS… all glories at your feet, has written to us. He has said – We need the grhasthas to use their skills, their intelligence and their minds to think how they can spread Krsna consciousness. – His words have refreshed my heart. TgSP.

Children's preaching strategy for people

                      adult and serious

               Living in the world. Without being in it?

Today I am walking in the direction of the carpentry tool store.

We need a saw with a fine finish for cutting wood.

We work in lutheria.

 We walk fast.

 Kala doesn't stop

… Hare Krishna… Hare Krisna… Krisna Krisna Hare Hare… Hare Rama… Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

… There are some workers from the municipality loading a small truck

(A large tree has been pruned)

Good morning

-Good morning

-Not so good for the tree, right?

- Hahaha how?

-It's just a saying... Where will they take all these leaves?

Let's take them to the dump...

-Everything in the trash?

- If all

-And this Rama that has remained here obstructing the way, why aren't they taking it too?

- This Rama is too heavy for us. Soon someone will arrive with a chainsaw to session it and we can take it with us.

-That's good… to God!

… I keep walking and think about the importance of faith.

 I have read that the holy names of the Lord are so powerful that if someone negligently pronounces them... There is also benefit. TgaSP

We arrived at the tool store and the seller kindly smiled, waiting for my request.

It is very nice to remember Paramatma every time we get into relationship with someone. It's nice to be able to sustain meditation in those circumstances. But it's not an easy thing for me.

On my way back… I see that the garden laurels have begun to bloom, and I instantly realize that I have walked for several minutes unconscious and completely forgetful of the Lord in all His aspects.

Please Lord, help me to remember Your lotus feet at every moment... Hare Krisna Hare Krisna. We smile with relief... to regain consciousness and live attentive to "expect the unexpected" (David Carradine)... while I pick some laurel flowers.

A policeman asks us...

- Why those flowers?

- For Krishna

- And who is Krsna?

- The Supreme Personality of Godhead

- Ok you are very well

-             Thank you

 Lutherie is our trade, and while the herpes installed in the cornea of ​​our left eye gives us truce, we modestly use our talent to build some stringed instruments for the satisfaction of Lord Hari.

Right now I am busy making two guitars. They will be auctioned on the twentieth day of the current month, during the meeting organized annually by my former colleagues from the -General Paz Military High School in Córdoba capital- A school with military instruction, where we were interned from the age of twelve to seventeen.

 Some time ago, a civil liability entity was established made up of members of the promotion that collects and manages the funds that alumni contribute after the purpose of providing social assistance to those who may need it.

 This year, among other things for this purpose, the two guitars mentioned above will be auctioned... One large and the other a little smaller, will have a sticker on the inside of the back cover, where the manufacturer usually uses to place its logo. image of Sri Krishna.

- What does the blue boy mean?

 – It means that we are extremely lucky to see you…

Finally Maharaja. Very grateful for engaging me in your service and sending you these lines Capi Dhvaja as you requested.

Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet and forever.

E.N.C das

HpS/ASA = AgtSP!!! paoho A breath of fresh air. Hare Bolo. You speak for me exactly. We are so small, yet, there are (AGTSP) a lot of us. How many? Over a million now.

One million insects chanting Hare Krsna!!

😄

Hari bolo. Hari bolo.

HK Querido Maharaja, TgaSSGN . TGASP.

 Luego del programa matutino nos encontramos con las exigencias ordinarias del mundo… las cuales para una persona como uno, en lejanía de asociaciones presenciales con devotos, cuestan. No obstante… de una manera u otra se hace todo lo posible para recordar a Krisna a cada paso … humildemente: -poniendo en práctica las instrucciones de la BG- 

Por lo general con mis dos hijos distribuimos por la ciudad ensaladas de frutas con yogurt griego, milanesas vegetarianas y panes rellenos. Por supuesto que dichas preparaciones son ofrecidas en nuestro altar, pero como dicha actividad lleva implícito la exigencia de nuestro sustento. Nos cuesta decir sin ruborizarnos que –distribuimos prasadam- 

 Siempre hay imprevistos y a veces esta actividad se interrumpe por algún motivo, siempre queda algo que permite retomar la acción.

-Karabhajana Muni se dirige al rey Nimi y le dice –“Como el Señor está situado dentro del corazón del devoto, se compadece de su error accidental y lo corrige desde dentro"-.(El Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Capítulo Cinco, verso 42)

Deseamos de corazón no ser ofensivos.

 Hemos retomado un proyecto de -perma apicultura- y huerta en un predio de 7 has que se había detenido por restricciones gubernamentales. Pronta mente vamos a instalar las primeras cuatro colmenas.

 Hay entusiasmo durante el día por recordar y predicar conciencia de Krsna a personas inocentes - el sabor del agua…

Preguntamos a cierta gente interesada

¿te agradaría leer algo respecto al “sabor del agua”?...  etc.

Lo que usted sugiere Maharaja se intenta practicar y se agradece de corazón. TgSP

Tantas cosas por mejorar¡¡

 Sentimos que nuestra angustia y el temor por la muerte se mitigan paulatinamente. Y que efectivamente la vejez en progreso es un aliado.

Hay entusiasmo al cantar las rondas y voluntad en ser fieles al compromiso por mantener el estándar de los 4 principios.

Mi gurudeva JPS… todas las glorias a sus pies, nos ha escrito. El ha dicho - Necesitamos que los grhasthas usen sus habilidades, su inteligencia y sus mentes para pensar en cómo pueden difundir la conciencia de Krsna.- Sus palabras han refrescado mi corazón. TgSP.

Estrategia infantil de predica para personas

                      adultas y serias

               Viviendo en el mundo. ¿Sin estar en el?

Hoy camino en dirección a la tienda de herramientas para carpintería.

Necesitamos una cierra de acabado fino para cortes en madera.

Trabajamos en luteria.

 Caminamos rápido.

 Kala no se detiene

… Hare Krisna…Hare Krisna… Krisna Krisna Hare Hare…Hare Rama… Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

… Hay unos obreros del municipio cargando un pequeño camión

(Un gran árbol ha sido podado)

¡Buenos días ¡

-Buenos días

-No tan bueno para el árbol ¿no?

- jajaja… ¿Cómo?

-Solo es un decir… ¿Adónde se llevarán todas estas hojas?

-Vamos a llevarlas al basural…

-Todo a la basura?

- ¡Si, todo¡¡¡

-Y esta Rama que les ha quedado aquí obstruyendo el paso ¿Por qué no se la están llevando también?

- Esta Rama es demasiado pesada para nosotros. Pronto llegará alguien con una moto sierra para sesionarla y ya podremos llevárnosla.

-Que bien… A Dios l¡¡

… Sigo mi caminando y pienso en la importancia de la fe.

 He leído que los santos nombres del Señor son tan poderosos que, si alguien, de manera negligente los pronuncia … También hay beneficio. TgaSP

Llegamos ya a la tienda de herramientas y con amabilidad el vendedor sonríe aguardando mi requerimiento.

 Es muy agradable recordar a Paramatma cada vez que entablamos relación con alguien. Resulta agradable poder mantener la meditación en esas circunstancias. Pero no es algo fácil para mí.

Ya de regreso… veo que los laureles de jardín han comenzado a florecer, y advierto al instante que he caminado varios minutos inconsciente y olvidado por completo del Señor en todos Sus aspectos.

¡Por favor Señor¡ ayúdame a recordar Tus pies de loto a cada instante ¡… Hare Krisna Hare Krisna. Sonreímos aliviados… por retomar la conciencia y vivir atentos a “esperar lo inesperado” (David Carradine) … mientras recojo algunas flores de laurel.

Un policía nos pregunta…

-             ¡¿Para que esas flores¡?

-             Para Krsna

-             Y quien es Krsna?

-             La Suprema Personalidad de Dios

-             Ok que esté usted muy bien

-             Gracias¡

 La luteria es nuestro oficio, y mientras el herpes instalado en la córnea de nuestro ojo izquierdo nos de tregua, ocupamos modestamente el talento en construir algunos instrumentos de cuerdas para la satisfacción del Señor Hari.

Justamente ahora me encuentro ocupado en la fabricación de dos guitarras. Serán subastadas el día veinte del mes en curso, durante el encuentro que organizan anualmente mis antiguos compañeros del -Liceo Militar General Paz de Córdoba capital- Una escuela con instrucción militar, donde permanecimos internados desde los doce años hasta los diecisiete.

 Hace un tiempo atrás fue constituida una entidad de responsabilidad civil conformada por miembros de la promoción que recauda y administra los fondos que los ex alumnos aportamos tras el fin de brindar asistencia social a quienes puedan necesitarla. 

 Este año se subastarán entre otras cosas para dicho fin, las dos guitarras antes mencionadas… Una grande y la otra un tanto más pequeña, tendrán pegado en el interior de la contra tapa, donde por lo general el fabricante utiliza para coloca su logo, una imagen de Sri Krsna.

- ¿Qué significa el niño color azul?

 – Significa que somos sumamente afortunados por verle…

En fin Maharaja. Muy agradecido por ocuparme en su servicio y enviarle estas líneas Capi Dhvaja tal como me había solicitado.

Acepte por favor mis humildes reverencias a sus pies y hasta siempre.
