HARE KRISNA

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias.

     El miercoles pasado celebramos el Kirtan en un parque grande de Villalba. Vinieron Jajanta y su familia, Hari Cakra, Irina y sus hijos, mi hermana, mi hija, una persona que conocí haciendo Sankirtan que se llevó un libro y yo. Estuvimos cantando, bailando, comiendo Prasadan y compartiendo entre nosostos y con esta persona el placer trascendental de cantar los Santos Nombres. Nos lo pasamos muy bien incluida esta mujer que decía que había notado algo muy bonito y especial al cantar el Maha Mantra. Estoy muy contenta porque está muy interesada y siento que Krisna también está feliz por ello. Quiero hacer esto una vez a la semana aquí en Villalba. Siento que no hay nada más importante que dar a conocer los Santos Nombres y que Krisna me guía a través de S. Prabhupada. Y creo que es porque todos los días, en mi sadhana me entrego a Krisna. Le doy todo mi cuerpo, todo mi esfuerzo, toda mi alma y toda mi mente. Le entrego mi vida porque no quiero hacer nada más que servicio devocional. Ahora estoy saliendo a hacer Sankirtan todas las mañanas de lunes a viernes. También he animado a mi hermana a que lo haga y sale conmigo de vez en cuando. Krisna es maravilloso porque me bendice siempre que salgo a distribuir libros conociendo a personas que están interesadas y que puedo ayudar de alguna manera. Siempre hay personas que se llevan libros y siento como un poquito de S. Prabhupada se va con ellas. Y eso me da mucha alegría. Percibo que él está conmigo en esos momentos y que está contento. También estoy muy feliz de que usted esté contento con todo esto que hago.  Mi próximo proyecto es ir a Segovia, la provincia vecina, a hacer Sankirtan junto con otros devotos. Mi intención es ir por la mañana temprano y estar distribuyendo libros hasta el mediodía. Despues, hacer un poco de turismo con los devotos. Ya se han apuntado dos: Yus y Kirtan y junto con mi hermana  seríamos cuatro. Le mantendré informado.

     Por otro lado, también quisiera decirle que el próximo fin de semana iré al Ratha Yatra de Barcelona con otros devotos: Jaga Mohan, Yus, Kirtan y mi hermana. Me hace mucha ilusión; todavía no conozco el templo de Barcelona y lo mejor: poder estar con el Señor Jaganatha, Baladev y Subadra. 

     Ahora y para terminar me gustaría hablarle de mi hija. Ella se llama Sara y tiene casi ocho años; los cumple en agosto. Es una gran devotita; aparte de llevar muy bien su sadhana, la gusta mucho ir al templo  y siempre está pensando en Krisna. Pone fotos de Krisna por todos los sitios, hasta en su tablet. La gusta mucho oir musica devocional, está aprendiendo a tocar el armonio y ya se sabe alguna canción que toca en los kirtan que hacemos en los parques. Le voy a mandar unas fotos en las que sale ella tocando. Y lo último que ha hecho es pedirle a Yadunandana S. refugio como Sicsa Guru. Maharajas le dijo que sí con agrado porque le estuvimos diciendo cómo es su sadhana y le pareció bien. A mi me dió mucha emoción; espero que siga así. Yo haré todo lo posible para ello. Y como yo la hablo de usted, también siente mucho aprecio y respeto hacia usted.

     Le mando unas fotos de nuestros Kirtan en el retiro y del Kirtan en Villalba el otro día.

     Sin mas, quedo a su servicio.

HpS - ASA ---- Puede ver por que nuestra respuesta es tan lento para esta carta en nuestras DTC.  Gira de Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Huston.       De su carta su vida, hija, todo es super.   Mantenga 16 buenas rondas como base y por el paso de tiempo va a desarrollar una mundo de espiritualidad increible. Ocupa otros en Sankirtan!

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji's padamacharan that I am reporting my personal sadhana and weekly the nama sankirtana of our team along with Banomali Prabhu and his team. Last Saturday, chanting of mala one round loudly with all the bhaktas after distributing malas for new invitees and those initiated bhaktas who came without mala. We  are looking both qualitative and quantitative.

Everything is possible only Guruji's aasirbad.

Yours fallen servant

HpS - So very very nice. How is the University and the Manipuri State?   If you can send some pictures that will be very very nice. You just add them by Browsing your computer at the place below.

Our respects to Vanamali. From the DTC you can see what we are doing.

Hare Krshna Maharaj, 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to you...

Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

I am really happy to know you are doing well, for me, Im doing well too; I am happy here in the temple going to get flowers for our Lordships and also trying to chant more rounds than the ones established and also following the principles, I am on a period of vacation from University but one of my family members passed away couple of days ago and I still feel some pain.

HpS - We have heard that Prabhupada said that that is natural. It is like some family member goes to a foreign country to work for 9-months. The whole family comes to see his boat leave and all feel very intense separation. They will exchange letters and phone calls, but their is a natural separation, but we dont think that the personal associate has ceased to exist!

I have a list of the ones who lead Mangala Arati Kirtan here in Mexico mandir from last week, there is nine of them: Mataji Alina, Prabhu Dharmaraja, Prabhu Ramacandra, Prabhu Adoksaja, Prabhu Mahasankarsana, Prabhu Uddharana, Prabhu Efraín, and Prabhu Hari Gopal

I hope this is useful for you. Please let me know if there is something I can do to serve you.

HpS - It is such a nice list!  Thank you. We hope people send us lists like this from other Temples.
What are the Bhagavatam class verses?

P.S.:Dear Maharaja...I also write to you.. to confirm my assistance to the airport on the 13th of July.

Your insignificant servant Bhaktin Diana

HpS - I hope all goes well and we can exit the airport and meet with everyone.

All Gloritis to A.C. Prabhupada Maharana and Sripada Maharaja

Thank You so much for Guruji's reply and advice from time to time.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's pdmacharan that last Saturday the 2nd July, 2016 Bonomali prabhu and Sadhubusan Das along with other young bhaktas of about 15 came and performed Nama Sangkirtana, Gita Prabachan by Bonomala Prabhu and Sandhya Aarati at the end. This time some more invitees of local area also participated and from our side two mataji and six other initiated members also joined the above mentioned programmes.

Verbally we have decided to continue such functions at the same time and place for one year, then gradually some more new members will automatically join in our Nama Sangkirtana.

Guruji Maharaja, in every reply please advice me  one or more instructions to be done or not to be done so as to increase my spiritual knowledge. Now I am reading Bhagavatam of 6.5.20. Daily, after mangal aarati, I remember some slokas of Gita such as 4:7-8, 9:25,26,34 , 10:8-11, 18:65-66 and Bhagavatam 1:1:1, 2:9:33-36, NOI sloka 1-11, Brahma Samhita 1-5, Namaparadha 1-10 and Gurubandana.

The rules instructed in the book "Guide to Bigginers" for Pujah and Arati is sufficient or is there any more to be performed for personal daily arati?

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

Hare Krsna Maharaja.

Thank You so much for Guruji's reply and advice from time to time.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji’s padamacharan that I am sending the submitting the report of the Thoubal Mandir. The weather of Manipur specially in Thoubal is dry. The farmers eagerly waiting the rain for cultivation. Now it is the time of rain but last month excess rain destroy vegetable and fish in the firms.

The five members who participated the sankirtan in the last Saturday are

i) Myself, Rajen Singh, Jatra Singh, Manithoi and Suraj Singh.

Rajen Singh has taken initiated from Tirth Swami Maharaja in the last Holy.

Jatra Singh and Suruj Singh are the members who are running the Mandir

And Manithoi is local professional narrator of Mahabharata, Gita  and

Bhagavatam.

This time some more bhaktas and matajis also will participate the sankirtana.

Recently, I had read the 8^th sloka of NOI. It highlights something but not clear all. Last time I asked under which direction ( the eight doors) and under whose guidance (Sakhi & Manjari - among the eight) I will enter the Vrndabana Mandir. Another one is where I will stay after returning from Vrndabana  by sidhi (Gamana-Gaman).

The common believe is that “in Nabadwip no women and in Vrndabana no men” can entered. Please explain.

Yours fallen servant

HpS - All glories to Srila Prabhupad. Hare Krsna. So, so ....... ssoooo nice to have regular communication here in this Blog Sanga. Manipur, Thoubal, so important for ISKCON's development.    Thank you for the Mandir Sankirtan news. Please offer our obeisances to all the Kirtaniyas.

Text Seven did you see... Prabhupada paraphasing, summarizing, the verse, "Adau sraddha...". It starts with the paragraph labeled "The conclusion is...".   This is one of our MOST important verses. To adance to Vaikuntha, then Ayodhya, then Mathura, then ... Goloka, we must understand and apply this verse.

It is from Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.4.15–16).  You can find the complete Sanskrit and another translation by Srila Prabhupad in BG 4.10 Purport.   The questions about which Sakhi we follow etc occur at the level of Ruci in this development as I understand.
Waiting to hear the results of your investigation.
