Hare Krishna, accept my obeisances to Srila Prabhupada.


From Santiago again, maybe you remember me.

First of all, i wanted to ask...and give something useful perhaps. This last time i have finished some grades in Neuropsychology and Arts, i mostly write about aesthetic philosofy, and i have the collection of Srimad Bhagavatam...


I am writing to you, because i have an interested in being of use. I have been working on scientific researsh for years, writing articles for the university or for magazines...and i would like to contact your servants to send them these articles for your analysis. I want to help you in you sankirtan with Solaris magazine.


I have also interviewed great people from France, and Europe who may be part of you proyect, architect, academics, artist. Everything is written, for publication.


For example, in my tesis about of Ecology, i contacted with the philosopher Luc Delannoy and his institute Neuro-Arts, or the artist Ettienne de France from Paris, a conceptual artist,... many people; and i would like to give away this material.


Prabhu Carlos Rold has given me his information and the contact of Abhirama waiting for a response...Articles may need English translation and better design. Any recommendation...at your service.

In English there is the phase, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". So, if you don't get a response from Abhirama and the 'Solaris' team, then continue to push them. Maybe even you should take over 'Solaris' and become the editor.

Have you done any reading of Carl Jung?

Reporte de festival Pada Yatra

Hk pamho Jay Gurudeva!!!!!

Gracias a sus bendiciones el festival salió muy bonito, en una atmósfera de colaboración y apreciación.


Me divertí mucho, mi distribución de libros de esas semanas estuvieron muy extáticas, muy agradecida con todo, y también pido disculpas si ofendí a alguien, aun tengo vena de comunicadora, la verdad se presenta con educación y con animo de ayudar, si en algo ayuda este informe a mejorar las cosas, me daré por satisfecha.


Hay una entrevista al que facilitó este servicio y al igual que yo estuvo a full, no todos desean que se publique, estoy segura que Ud. considerará que no hay nada de malo en el video.

Muchas gracias por sus bendiciones y muestras de apreciación. eso es lo que falta en la administración.

También una anécdota fue que llevaron a otro parque parte de la ambientación, permitiendo que el Sr. se detuviera mas tiempo antes de llegar a su destino final.

ASA - AgtSP!!!


Thanks to their blessings, the festival turned out very nicely, in an atmosphere of collaboration and appreciation.


HpS - Super. Those who are chanting the Holy Names want to distribute them.


I had a lot of fun, my distribution of books in those weeks was very ecstatic, I am very grateful for everything, and I also apologize if I offended anyone, I still have a communicator vein, the truth is presented with education and with the desire to help, if anything help this report to improve things, I will be satisfied.


There is an interview with the person who facilitated this service and, like me, it was full, not everyone wants it to be published, I am sure that you will consider that there is nothing wrong with the video.


Thank you so much for your blessings and appreciation. that is what is missing in the administration.


Also an anecdote was that they took part of the setting to another park, allowing Mr. to stop longer before reaching his final destination.


I send you a word and video file, which is in Spanish, I include an appendix in English at the end of the most important thing.

Helping others

Hare Krsna, Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

I follow HH Vaisesaka Maharaja on facebook. He always gives thought provoking advices.

I asked Him personally one question about fear and he kindly responded. Due to His answer was so warm hearted I guess that is worthy to share it within your Blog.


HpS - ASA - Our Blog, no?


____________


Dear Chandramukhi, Bhadram te! Jaya Srila Prabhupada. Bhadram te! Jaya Srila Prabhupada!


Fear is the normal condition of this material world, because although we are eternal spirit souls, we are inhabiting temporary, material bodies, and we don't know when our time of death will arrive. Even the demigods are fearful. This is powerfully illustrated in the following verse from the teachings of Lord Kapiladeva:


mad-bhayād vāti vāto ’yaṁ

sūryas tapati mad-bhayāt

varṣatīndro dahaty agnir

mṛtyuś carati mad-bhayāt


It is because of My supremacy that the wind blows, out of fear of Me; the sun shines out of fear of Me, and the lord of the clouds, Indra, sends forth showers out of fear of Me. Fire burns out of fear of Me, and death goes about taking its toll out of fear of Me. (SB 3.25.42)


Here Krishna is speaking as the inescapable time factor. Time is the force that destroys all created beings. However, devotees realize Krishna in His personal form, as the all-merciful and all-powerful Personality of Godhead. Devotees also cultivate faith that Krishna, as the supreme controller, is always protecting them and maintaining them. Nothing can happen without the Lord's sanction. In order to relieve His devotees from all anxiety and fear, Krishna tells Arjuna the peace formula:


bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ

sarva-loka-maheśvaram

suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ

jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati


A person in full consciousness of Me, knowing Me to be the ultimate beneficiary of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods, and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attains peace from the pangs of material miseries. (BG 5.29)


Devotees who realize the Lord in this way live in Vaikuntha, the realm of no anxiety, even if they are physically still present here in the material world.


By regularly absorbing your attention in the transcendental sound vibration of the holy name, Bhagavad-gita, and Srimad-Bhagavatam, gradually all fear, anger, greed and other unwelcome intruders will be forced out of your mind. After all, as we know from Srimad Bhagavatam (1.1.14), Krishna's holy name is feared even by fear personified! 


I hope some of this is helpful for you. It is true, the material world is a frightening place, and ultimately our only recourse is to become fully Krishna conscious. Then we will be fearless, knowing that, as spirit souls, we can never come to any real harm.


With affectionate blessings,

Vaisesika Dasa

Iskcon Murari Sevaka Visit

1 year, 6 months ago by nkd1010 in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Dear Hanumat Presaka Swami,

    Please accept my respectful obeisances unto the dust of Your lotus feet.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  

    I would first like to apologize for arriving so late to the NIOS Light of the Bhagavat Program.  We  were held back with roof and chimney repairs that were begun several hours past the scheduled time.  I am so sorry to have missed hearing Your class.


HpS - It was short. My and Abhiseka Das' presentations were more about the history of NIOS and of course the purpose and results.

It was such and important festival.

We really saw our resources for Sankirtan more clearly.

Big or small. Late or timely. We just want to know reality and then try to develop the Sankirtan from that.

The magic will be done by Krsna.


 Thank You for so kindly taking the time to speak with us after we arrived so late.  We are feeling so fortunate and happy to have gotten Your close association for a few minutes.


   In that mood I am humbly reaching out to invite You to come out to Murari Sevaka as soon and often as possible.  Sri Sri Nitai Gaurachandra and Srila Prabhupada are here and They are so beautiful and so kind and They are desiring to see You here.


We are begging for Your association.  This most holy dhama needs to be tread upon again by the lotus feet of one of Krishna’s dear devotees.  Please come.  Our accommodations are the most simple and rustic; but I am praying that You will feel our need and desire for Your presence and that You will visit us very soon and very often.

                  Your servant,

                  Mitravinda gopi devi dasi 


HpS - ASA -- We did Lokannata Swami's Braja Mandala Parikrma for over 7 years. After that any accomidations are luxury lkevel.

😃

Our donkey is old, so we have to plan our travel and movement carefully.

We would like to visit our neighbors.

Murari.

And see about future of Nashville programs.

Try to see about visiting with Kevin.

Hare Krsna!!!

Here in the basement

Hare Krsna, AgtSP


Please accept my humble obeisances

(I'm not shure if this is the proper way of making a salute)


ASA / HpS - Seems great! We offer the same as you have done!


But here I am, now the new temporally base of operations for the sk (sankirtan) is in a place called Villa Carlos Paz a pretty place whit a river and a loot of beutifull birds, the principal base is in San Esteban (aprox 2 hours in car from the new one) and it's also a really beutifull place.

My teachers are for the moment just mahara Dhanvantari Swami, now when we go back to the pricipal base we are going to have class whit Devaki about the meanings of SP of the BG and then a few or so months whit Mitravinda about the Upadesambrita and the the rest (or at least is what i know because the organization here is somthing that It's impossible to understand at least to me) but good new's I give 76 little book's and between 5 or 4 BG a really nice number for just 4 days.


HpS/ASA - There are not two people like you! Your Sankirtan is very inspiring for so many of us.




Now about your health it's somthing that all are going to pass in one moment or other.

Here I see people of all the ages and the old ones are the ones that I feel more compation about, not because their bodies but the life that usually without Krsna consciousness they just know about family, sens and all that, but a materialistic life just will only direct them to the worst destiny and they are not so lucky as the joung ones because even if they can reach some knowledge they usually are too accustomed to a material life to accept Krsna, what we can do to the people that simply dont wan't to hear about Krsna not because they are ateist or somthing similar but because custom and the years have made them become a log that can no longer bend?


HpS/ASA - Try our best to be instruments of the Previous Acharya's like Narada Mooooni who converted Mrgari into t a Vaisnava!


And whit little to few question's more to add i said good bye :D

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja, I hope all the travel to your base have being really nice :D.


HpS - ASA -- Distributing books is super, but also look and see if KRSNA sends people who can also become book distributors!

More News!

Respects to Dhanvantari Swami, Maharaja et al!!
