radhe radhe my dear guru maharaja, dandavat pranam

HpS/ASA - Hare! Hare! Our esteemed guide.

🙂🙂🦍🙂

I know i should have written this letter some time ago, but the seva in Kisori Kunj and in the kund were very demanding and time goes very fast, but my main excuse is that I really have not found the right words to express my feelings.

I have not find a bigger expression than "thank you":

Thank you for being here, Radhakund is already very important for me, but your stay here gave me more inspiration to live in this beautiful place.

Thank you for the seva you allowed me to do for you, even when I know I am not qualified to do it, I tried to do my best.

Thank you for all the lessons I got, I heard once that the best teacher teaches with the example, and you are the embodiment of that, the way you do the arati, the way you chant, the way of performing your sadhana, each and every thing you do was a beautiful and a very important lesson for me.

Thank you for cleaning Radhakund with me, now every time I do it I meditate that you are tbere, supporting me.

Thank you also because as a result of your visit I got the association of a lot of godbrothers and godsisters, I met some of them for the first time, I reencountered with some others and I got new ones, the family is growing and each and every one of them became special to me. Thank you also to all of them for their kind association.

Once again please forgive all my offenses and my lack of qualification.

I am now in Mayapur with Haridev for three months, I know it is also a dhama and I am listening maha mantra all the time but I really miss my Radhakunda.

I also want to tell you that Radha Syamasundara are in Spain now, with tbe mataji who used to do seva for them, I took that decision because she was not good physically and mentally and was missing them so much and in my case I was so anxious thinking who would do seva for them while I am in Mayapur, so I think this was the best arrangement for them.

Once again and again and again thank you Guru Maharaja for all your causeless mercy and please pray to Radha Kunja Bihari to allow me to come back soon to Radhakund.

Your (trying to be humble) servant

HpS - ASA -- Thank you so much! We are just the same. Trying to integrate our experiences in Radha-Kunda into our heart!

It seems to us that the simple ones eg. Walking down the same street every day to the Kund. Seeing the same devotees at their doorsteps, are the most important ones.

Thank you for engaging us in cleaning the Kunda!!!!

May you always have such a nice net!

How did Radha Shyama sundara get to Spain???

Respects to The Harideva. Now he should be taking initiation, no?

Just hearing from you brings back so many experiences Eg. Traveling to Krsna-Balarama Temple for programs.

Vipina-bihari and Krsna-svarupa Das service.

Now is here Dhruva, Dhanesvari, and Subhadra-mayi Devi Dasi, Das.

Hope our news is sufficient of our Sankirtan and we educate ourselves to become more practical servants of Braja, Radha and Sri Radha Kunda.

Hare Krishna Gurudev. Pamho. Toda glorias a Srila Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que se encuentre entusiasta en su sankirtana y en una agradable compañia de devotos,

Ahora hace casi un mes desde que partió de España y quería agradecerle que me haya permitido hacerle algún pequeño servicio. Ha sido muy agradable tener su asociación y también haber podido servir y relacionarme con otros devotos como Dhruva, Subhadra, Parasuram y Rukmini.

Se aprende mucho viendo las cualidades que tienen otros devotos y que a mi me gustaría desarrollar. Estoy agradecido por esto.

HpS/ASA - Jaya! Nos es igual! Estableciendo un afecta super para NVM, Sus Senorias y Sus servientes!!

Ha sido muy entenso aqui. Mucho contrasto y similaritud entre "Nueva Govardhana - Montemorelas" y NVM.

Pienso que estamos ganando la lucha con la bruja. Mas y mas gente apreciando la mensaje del Senyor Caitanya por medio de estas esfueras profesional.

Ya hemos vuelto a la rutina (dichosa) del Sat Sanga, piscina para espalda y mente, etc. La verdad es que al cuerpo le sienta bien la rutina.

Es evidente que la rutina de Nueva Vrajamandala es mejor para mi inteligencia y alma, sobre todo la asociación constante con buenos devotos y la presencia de las deidades. Espero que mas adelante pueda disfrutar mas de esa asociación: Estamos dando los pasos necesarios para que esto suceda.

Le envié a Mónica el mensaje que me envió pero no me contestó y no he querido presionarla (sobre todo sabiendo que ya no es un tema urgente). Le he dicho a Marcos que intente averiguar él los contactos de ¿hinduismo? que puedan haber en la UCM, sobre todo para el futuro.

Sigo al corriente de su sankirtan a través del blog y escuchando algunas clases.

Gracias de nuevo por su asociación personal o virtual. Es un estimulo para seguir en el camino y mejorar en lo posible.

HpS/ASA - Super! Escriba una resumen del hostoria de su Sat Sanga local, y el trayectoria futuro?

🙂

Please Accept my Humbe Obeisances!

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru And Gauranga!

HK. Maharaj! how are you??

HpS - AgtSP!! What you mean "you"? Ha! Ha! Ha! You mean my body? It has chest ache and eyes failing etc. My mind? Not bad. Other times during the day it has feelings of terror, but the Mantra and BG intelligence keeps us calm and progressive. You mean us as spirit souls? We are in Maya and trying to get out of the sticky syrup!

well I've been chanting the 16 rounds for one month and a half.

May I ask you a question, could you please tell me why the primary relationship Krishna has with Balaram is of brothership? and why not perhaps Balaram is his uncle or cousin?

HpS - Because They are both sons of Vasudeva, no? Balarama mother is Rohini and Krsna's Mother is Devaki. O.K.?? 😐

well thank you very much for everything!

HK!

HpS - Thank you!!

Let us look at more Blog posts together.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; all glories to his divine grace, Srila Prabhupada, our founder acharya; all glories to your good self, you have extended Srila Prabhupada's mercy to useless souls like myself.

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna!!!!

We just want your Dhira association.

I was trying to focus on my mangala arotika this morning, and as ususal my mind was running away with other thoughts. But this time I was wondering about what it means to have a personal relationship with Krishna because of engaging in Deity worship. I began to chastize myself mentally for not focusing on the actual business of Deity worship, and for trying to imagine what it's like to have a relationship with Krishna whilst trying to perform arotika. My mind recalled an incident from the Lilamrita, in which Srila Prabhupada chastized one disciple for the nature of his question, by saying "you have no right to ask such a question." I mentally applied this chastizement to myself, thinking "what right do I have to think about what my relationship is with Krishna? I can't get even momentarily put aside my material desires and attachments whilst performing artotika!"

And yet, I can't help but feel that there is a relationship between me and Krishna, even now, although my heart is plagued with worldly desires and attachments: some of them down right sinful. I began thinking of where would I be if suddenly I was to no longer have any Deity service. How empty my life would suddenly become, how lost and lonely I would feel if I didn't have something as simple and as tangible as Deity worship in my life. Practically speaking my entire devotional career has hinged on such a simple practice as Deity worship. Isn't this proof in itself that a relationship between Krishna and me is already there? The very thought of suddenly losing it would leave a blank and empty space in my life: like a huge hole that suddenly opened up as if in an earthquake.

HpS/ASA - Yeah! I was having exactly the same thoughts and realizations. We have a cordial friendship with our Deities. They are so kind. We just sit together and do simple things. If someone stole my Deities I would not be able to really live!

I guess I'm much more attached to the process and comfort of Deity worship itself, rather than its purpose of trying to please Krishna. I would like to think that Krishna is pleased with me, but given all of the sinful desires lingering in my heart, and given how I have to force myself to get up in the morning, instead of looking forward to my service, I can only pretend that Krishna is pleased with me.

HpS - One Peru devotee was a novice monk in Catholic order for several years and one of his classmates who was by nature very sexually agitated asked their spiritual master in anguish if the sex desires ever went away. The S. M. looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Yes, ten minutes after you die." SP said something similar. We are not sinful because we have sinful thoughts. That is natural from our birth. We are sinful if we don't respond to them with the proper intelligence that we have, no?

Furthermore, I haven't enough courage or good faith to surrender. Without surrender what kind of reciprocation can I possibly hope to receive from Krishna or even your good self? I need to close here, so that I don't embarrass myself further with more foolishness.

Your lowly servant,

BbD

HpS - Thank you. The Gopis are more surrendered than Mother Yasoda. We've surrendered smoking and drinking! What little surrender can we make today? Each little step is eternal!!!

Thank you. Your thoughts are very stimulating.

Hari bool TLGASP Reverencias

Hari bol :D

HpS - AgtSP. Very nice to see you, but "be in the ceremony". What does that mean? To be initiated?

Have you been a Candidate for six months? We forget. We are getting too old to initiate.

AgtSP !

Dear guru maharaja, hoping that you are in very good health and everything else. I am stopping by just to greet and offer my obeisances to you. Have a great Vaisnava New Year and as always a wonderful Sankirtan.

Y.s. madhumangala das
