urgent journal access

hare krsna maharaj, pamho

harsh 

HpS - ASA - - - A G T S P !   paoho, thank you, but we can also go to Vanderbuilt University (VU) and at least get free reading access. Maybe printing access for free, but that does take about an hour trip and costs about $15, but we can also do other work the same time, but if you can do it with no strain on your baby-milk-money then that is O.K. If there is some expense we could even pay for it from NIOS somehow or other.

Sri Krsna Sankrtana Ki Jai!

what is your vision?

Hare Krisna beloved Gurudev,
Please acept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Here we are at Eseiza airport, soon mangala aratik in SM, we are heading to Pay Roo, meet with CMDD and her family, devotees , Rupanuga das, and of course Sri Sri Radha Madhan Bihari.

I want to ask you about your current sankirtan work in education and with Carl Jung. What is the purpose of both programs? What is your goal with them?

What kind of programs are more suitable to accomplish your goals?

What we should do in order to help you better?

Shall we read Carl Jung biography? Is this program only to psychologist? or more like a bridge to bring people in general to KC?

Shall we make research about education in our local countries? I found out that Peru is number one in education with the 79% of his population finishing high school. Of course we aim to another type of education.

How important is for us to study Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti vaibhava in order to push education in ISKCON?

We are in good communication with our gothbrothers/sisters in order to organize your south american tour. I'm trying to cooperate with everybody, cordoba, bs as, chile, peru.

Our plan is to make a short visit to cordoba, very very short to bs as so we can go to chile for the symposium.

Please enlighten us so we can help you better.

Trying to serve you.

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - AGTSP!  Paoho. Are you still in Peru? How was the visit with everyone?
You have asked many questions. Would take a long time to answer in some ways. In general the answer is there in the INtroduction to the Upadesamrta: We want to study the literature left by the Six Goswamis (Srila Prabhuapda's Purports) so that we can help Lord Caitanya in His mission of giving the Science of Krsna to the world.
In that respect we have to understand our spiritual level and our material nature. Carl Jung is a good area for us to work. Srila Prabhupada appreciated him. The practical results just go on leading us forward and help us to refine how we want to approach him.

Lord Caitnya took Sannyasa from Mayavadi sampradaya to reach a certain audience.

If your nature reacts then yes, read Jung's biography. Is nice perspective for a devotee. Abhirama Das in Lima has good copy.

Our approach is to re-read the biography, Tavistock lectures and now we have found some of the Jung Journals and some good articles there. We had so much to do with these other education programs in ISKCON such as primary school, but we are reducing that and also the administrative work in Bhakti Vaibhava etc. We now have time to start reading the Journal article. One we read introduces a very nice scholar and he gives references to other Jung works on Oriental psychology and how to realate to it.

So, that is how we shall go ahead.

Main thing is to meet the people, meet the people, meet the people. As we learn about Jung and his followers lets meet with them. That's all:

We remain pure by our Sadhana
Krsna sends innocent people (Jungians et al)
They remain patiente  to understand the actual situation of this material world.

SANKIRTAN

NIOS - Helpful nature

Hare Krsna ,Pamho, AGTSP,AGTHpS, AGTTB, AGTUG,AGTBW

Seeing the condition of brother ass, it remains puzzle how all of you are able to manage your services to Srila Prabhupada. Could be some mystic power!!!!

Did HpS talked to Prof Bandyopadhyay?

HpS - ASA(BW, TB, UG ...) - Yes, we had a very nice discussion. We were arranging for him to meet with Sri Hari Das and Aja-govinda Das while he has in Delhi. Now we will call him with NGD and see what Krsna arranged.

Was HpS able to meet Mr Modi ?
HpS - Even if not, we are getting a lot of practice at doing it and involving a lot more people!

Does HpS has any service, where horse can help?
HpS - You are doing so much help just "growing up". Every time you chant Hare Krsna under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada you are "growing up" and can do more and more work. We expect th next book to be published soon, maybe in Bombay, so Dr. will visit there and you can help him then. They with Goloka Education we can start to distibute it (and the last one).  All your hard work in Kolkatta will give fruit!

Horse is very thank ful to all of you for starting ASA and esp BHvai. Horse has been behind the standards, but still as back bencher he has understood a lot.

Horse was thinking about his helpful naturs in general. Then he read http://vedabase.com/en/sb/5/8/10/ . "Material conditions are already established by the superior administration according to one’s karma. They cannot be changed. "

then he was confused to understand the contribution of red cross society, Mother teressa. Esp Ksatriyas are supposed to provide material comforts. Horse understands that SB 5 is for Sannyasis, but what can people with Ksatriays tendency learn from it.

trying to be a monkey,
passionate horse
 

HpS - ASA - Yuddhisthira asked, Bhisma while lay on the bed of arrows which was more powerful destiny or effort. Bhisma responded that the Ksatriya is basically a man of action. Destiny and personal effort at both important, but of the two personal effort is prominent. Without personal effort it is even difficult for destiny to act.

If you are really a Ksatriya then take some Karate classes. I would say you are more like a Royal Counselor. So work hard within your nature. Set some goals like that.

What will they be tell us some good life goals for a person like you!

Mercy! Mercy! Give me your mercy please!!!

Hare Krsna dear guru maharaja!

Please accept my most sincere obeisances

All glories to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtana movement

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to your mercifull instructions

Gurudeva, yesterday we finish the books we brought to Xalapa - Veracruz with the sankirtan party leaded by Jayadeva Hari Das, it was amazing to go out with such powerfull devotees of sankirtan, i found many interesting people, among them, there is one mazon girl who had already encountered with another devotee last year, she took Bhagavad-gita, and will go to the Mexico city ratha yatra this weekend, she is very eager to practice vaishnavism, chanting the holy name. We also did a home program with devotees from a town near from here it was full chanting and taking prasadam, very very joyfull, but at the end of the program i asked the mataji owner of the house about a murti of Sri Hanuman and she offered to give it to me, wich i accepted. Jayadeva Hari got upset with me and told me that it was wrong to ask for a deity, that i shouldnt do that. What can you advise me now that i already did it?

HpS - AGTSP! I don't know! Did you ask for it or did you just ask about where it came from and she offered to give is to you. I don't know? Talk with devotees, chant Hare Krsna and make a simple decision. Can offer to return it and explain what is happening, and see what she says then.

Gurudeva, I heared that you told Govinda Pramodini that you will be in Tennessee for your Vyasapuja, Next week I will do the application for the visa, please give me your permission to go there with the rest of my Godbrothers from Mexico, because if you agree, Krsna will allow me to get the visa and also collect the laxmi required for that travel. Im doing my best in my service, confident that if i do it propperly Krsna will be there helping me.

HpS - ASA - Aaaaaaaaaawk! There is no Temple here. It will be snowing. There will be wolves stalking the streets at night to steal cigarrettes from lonely travelers, hotel rooms will be $55/night, you'll have to rent a car.  Better to participate by Skype from Mexico, no? ?

I have been taking great asociation from you by hearing your classes and recordings i have, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR INSTRUCTIONS! for they are non-different from your lottus feet. Could you please explain me one phrase of yours that impacted my consciousness? The phrase is "When the spiritual life is complete, the so called material life follows; if it doesn't, then the so called  spiritual life is wrongly applied"

ASA - Hansadutta Swami used the analogy often that when you put a garland on your body you don't have to put one on your shadow. It is their automatically. So, when we are engaged properly in spiritual life our material life automatically becomes auspicious also. Of coure, in the beginning our spiritual life is not complete so we have to make a balance of spiritual and material responsibilities, but later we see that they are all spiritual. For example, morning is for my spiritual activities, day time is for night time is for enjoying.

Of course, again, as we advance it all becomes the same thing.

And our material situation may not appear so nice externally. Like Maharaja Pariksit being cursed to die:

"SB 1.19.4: While the King was thus repenting, he received news of his imminent death, which would be due to the bite of a snake-bird, occasioned by the curse spoken by the sage's son. The King accepted this as good news, for it would be the cause of his indifference toward worldly things."

Thank you again for spending your time cultivating the seed of bhakti in our hearts! i will never be able to pay the debt i have with you, with Srila Prabhupada!

Your dumb disciple

Krsna-kirtana Dasa
 HpS - ASA -- We are just little messengers for you real Guru.

Poetry, Values, and Youtube

Hare Krsna esteemed Guru Maharaj,

Please accept out most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Very happy to get up at 4, chant, and read monkey warrior!  Thankyou for the profound essay you posted called Brain One. It satisfies many, many silly but not so silly desires to read literature (We look up to the writing style of Dudes like Robert Bly and Brautigan, but their muses are not so great so it's best we stay away until we're more spiritually mature.)  Should we write or draw Maharaj even if we feel there are 10,000 pending tasks to do?

 ASA - AGTSP!     Paoho. Yes.

If it is our nature to make art, should we not suppress it since it might come out our ears or through bouts of frustration, etc?  Thankyou for your psychological and spiritual guidance on this.

Maharaj, you asked in the last letter how the school is! The school just recently re-located to their own building 10 minutes from the temple. Ms. Viji made the investment, it was an old Kindercare and it is very spacious. It's been a whirlwind trying to get a school permit, so at this point the school is half day at the new building and half day at the temple. It is a little hectic and chaotic and sometimes we feel like we're at Sandipani Muni school again since our roles are continuously changing and everyday brings a new surprise, challenge.

I guess we are an admin/secretary/computer lab coordinator/van driver/Values teacher! [Chipmunk Body Building Teacher] 

We are grateful. We are also realizing we are still under a huge learning curve and pray the Holy Names and your mercy and Prabhupada's will pull us through. Through the work we see a lot of things we'd like to work on. Maybe this is what we can write about??? :)) [Super Girl and the Mountain of Tasks]

We are very very happy that the values curriculum is coming along (we teach 6 half an hour classes a week). We are a big fan of a children's workbook called Values of Life which teaches values such as obedience and tolerance through awesome kids cartoons, BG quotes, and Srila Prabhupada's teachings. We also role play and read Vedic stories that teach values. I'm also developing a workbook for the text Nirmala gave you , The Rise of the Sun Prince. We'd like to send a .doc copy to you Maharaj and humbly ask for your suggestions if you will allow us to send!

ASA - Ummmp! Graff,,, Brank -*&*   Grink!    Best is to just give a summary and then a specific example here: Eg. We inspire kids to always plan on returning what they steal later and that way they know that they are not really stealing they are just borrowing.

We get up early and finish at least more than half of our rounds 5 out of 7 days...if we don't were in deep trouble and face anxiety trying to chant most of our rounds after school. We hope to improve upon this aspect by the end of Kartik. We have also been going out on Sankirtan every Saturday with Hari Vilas's wife and Vishvambhar (Aka Bryant). Sundays we attend Bhakti Sastri (they start with BG here) and thereafter teach Sunday School.

Hope your health is good Maharaj. We look forward to future prose works and essays. Thankyou thankyou.
Your aspiring and fallen servant, 
Kamagayatri dd

HpS - ASA -- We look at life this way (and write about it in our TPP-CBs). It is impossible to keep an actual honest standard of pure and ecstatic,   @#$%^&,   devotional service in the current world without really giving up our current body. Therefore, we expect that we are going to get "A Love Injection from God" quick or leave this body and go to Goloka. Of course, the association of other madmen like Lord Caitanya can make it reasonably possible in this material world.

Hmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrrf! We must all get eternal spiritual bodies so we can work together eternally under Srila Prabhupada's direct direction.

Srila Prabhupada standing up whipping the horses as they valiantly run across the massive war of Sankirtan with us and and Bhakti W. C. Fields thrown water melons on peoples heads.

NIMSAR secretary

 HpS - ASA - Chop Itty Chip! Very nice presentation. Nothing can stop the Sankirtan movement. Just go forward, forward, forward. I think the direction of NIMSAR is good. It is the only formal group for education that I know of in South or Latin America. Spain has Cologio Bhaktivedanta. The life of NIMSAR comes from hearing Srila Prabhupada through his books through the lips of other devotees and our own personal preaching and japa of his books; and especially by chanting Krsna's Names as Srila Prabhupada, Lord Caitanya, recomends.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna....   ... . .  Then we will see pastimes that we never read in any of Srila Prabhupada's books.
