CARTA DE RECOMENDACIÓN PARA INICIACIÓN

Diksa Gurú: Hanumat Presaka Swami

Aspirante: Bhakta Marcos.

Iniciación: Namahata

Hare Krisna, querido Gurudeva. Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, dandavats. Todas las Glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

Ante todo espero que se encuentre bien en todos los aspectos.

El motivo de ponerme en contacto con usted es de informarle que, tras haber hablado con Bhakta Marcos, él me ha expresado su deseo de tomar refugio en usted y que así mismo se lo ha manifestado a usted también.

Le he preguntado por los requisitos para poder tomar iniciación:

• Cantar un mínimo de 16 rondas.
• Seguir los 4 principios regulativos:
  • No comer carne, huevo ni pescado.
  • No tomar intoxicantes, como café, té, sustancias estupefacientes o alcohol.
  • No practicar sexo ilícito.
  • No participar en juegos de azar.

Me ha manifestado que desde hace un año los sigue de manera rigurosa, residiendo además como brahmacary en el Templo de Madrid desde Septiembre de 2013.

Actualmente realiza diferentes servicios en el templo:

• Encargado de la boutique.
• Encargado de compras.
• Limpieza de la zona exterior del templo.
• Colaborador en tareas de contabilidad.

A parte de esto está estudiando el primer módulo de Bhakti-Sastri.

El es muy servicial y muy colaborador.

Hemos comenzado los trámites para la creación en Madrid del curso de aspirantes a ser iniciados, conforme ha establecido el GBC, con lo que estamos a la espera para poder ofertarlo.

Con toda humildad  y si usted no ve inconveniente, por parte de las autoridades del templo de Madrid en general y mía en particular, como presidente de ACK Madrid, no hay inconveniente alguno en que, cuando usted lo considere oportuno, de iniciación Diksa a Bhakta Marcos. Sería un honor contar con un hermano espiritual más en nuestra gran familia de ISKCON.

Muchas gracias por todo.

Su humilde servidor, Dandava Das.

Diksa Guru: Hanumat Presaka Swami

Aspirant: Bhakta Marcos

Initiation: Namahata

Hare Krisna, my Dear  Gurudeva. Please, accept my humble obeisances, dandavats. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

First I hope you’re fine in all aspects.

I want to contact with you to inform you that I spoke with Bhakta Marcos two weeks ago, and He said me he was desiring to take shelter in you. He said me He told you about this point.

I asked him about the principles to take shelter:

• Chanting mínimum of 16 rounds.
• Following 4 regulative principles:
  • Don’t eat meat , eggs or fish
  • Don’t take intoxicants like coffee, tea, drugs or alcohol.
  • Don’t have illicit sex.
  • Don’t play gambling.

He said me He’s following strictly this points from one year ago. He lives in the Madrid’s Ashram from September 2013 as bhramachary.

Now he has different services as:

• Charge of the boutique.
• Charge of shopping.
• Cleaning the public zone of the Temple.
• He works in accounting tasks. 

He is studying the first Bhakti-Sastri’s module.

He is very helpful and cooperative.

We are starting the steps to create the candidates for initiation course in Madrid accordance with the provisions of the GBC. We are waiting to offer it.

Humbly and if You don’t see any problem, we haven’t any inconvenient You give Diksa initiation to Bhakta Marcos, when you want to do it. It would be an honor to have another spiritual brother in our GREAT ISKCON FAMILY.

Thank you very much for all.

Your humble servant, Dandava Das.

HpS  - TlgaSP. Por favor envia copia de recomendacion a [email protected] con su fecha de nacimiento y nombre completo y entonces tiene que escribir personalmente al Blog con sus opiniones del processo.

Jaya!  Esperamos que Pablo esta bien en India!

All Glories to Sri Sri Gour Nitay!
All Glories to Srla Prabhupada!
All Glories to you! 

Please Maharaj, accept my sincere obeisances at your LOTUS feet. 

I really hope that your health is well ... :) 

Camila, 21 years old, Santiago.Chile .

Maharaj, I know that you answered my letter just now...  and, the only thing that I want to say is : 

THANK YOU . 

I will follow the instruction that you gave me, i'm going to assist to the temple of Srila Prabhupada, and visit also the beautiful deities  <3 . 

                      HpS - When Srila Prabhupada came to Berkeley, San Francisco, in 1975 one reporter asked him, "Are there Problems in your temples?". Srila Prabhupada laughed a little (as I remember) and then said, "This is the material world, there are problems everywhere.". When KRSNA was personally present in VRNDAVANA there were demons who were so terrifying that the girls would have abortions from their roars!!

You have a ladies body. You can realize what a terror and horror that would be.

Well, Krsna is not exactly personally present in Santiago temple and there are not demons that bad. So we can still take shelter of Krsna, see WHY the problems are there by Krsna's arrangement and how we are supposed to help to solve them.

Help ISKCON

Help Vrnda.

Help the Devil!   Become good!

Hare Krisna, my Dear Gurumaharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabupada.

I hope you’re fine.

Thank you so much for you letter. It helps me to have a better compression of my ashrama and more faith in Krisna. What He wants will be fine, I'm sure.

“If Mahoma don’t go to the mountain, the mountain will go where Mahoma lives”. Then, I’m going to find dates to visit. I prefer in South America or Central America. I hope this year.

     HpS - AGTSP!    You can see our Calendar. We thinking of March April for South America, but we may still get to Europe for Dr. Samaresha Book release this year.

The Madrid’s Temple is going very well, a lot of work. After some years worshiping to de Deities, Bhakti Gouravani Goswami told us that the Deities are installed because They have 3 bhoga offerings per day and Kirtan. Our worship standard is still low, but we want to turn up it. For that we are thinking in a initiations plan (Harinama and Bhramana) to get more devotees involved and fix an upper standard.

We have some devotees that are following you and they are very inspired by you. Some of them are Bhakta Pablo, Bhakta Marcos, Bhakin Marta. And there  are others who are inspired by Yadunandana Swami, but he don’t give Diksa, and may be they and Maharaja propose you to be Diksa Guru and get Siksa from Yadunandana Swami, like Carcika and me in the beginning. I suppose they’ll contact with you, because we were speak about that during the Spring’s Festival in New Vrajamandala.

I send you the complete Pablo’s name and birth date: Pablo Fernandez Rodriguez, born November 17th 1978.

                ASA - Thank you!!

Thank you for your association every day in Startmeeting.

On other hand, my rounds fine, I can improve it, I must improve it. My principles fine, fighting. Many time thinking in Krisna’s service help me and save me, but I’m very fallen. With your help and mercy. May be I can go away from this material world. I can’t do it alone. But I have a lot of luck because there are many devotees around of me.

I don’t take more time. Please, let me keep serving under your Lotus Feet.

Thank you, for all. Your humble servant. Dandava Das.

              ASA - Jaya. Thank you for the news. This life is like the Battle of Kuruksetra. Maya is consciously seeing our efforts and plans and making efforts to stop them. That is her job. But Radharani is helping us. We are little guys in between the Black Witch and the White Witch!

hare krisna gurumaharaj,

please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

My postal address is Hipolito Irigoyen 3695, Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires , argentina, cp: 7600

                 HpS - ASA -- Very, very nice report. This is all we need. We are too old for detailed management. We just give perspective and inspiration as we can. We talk with LAD pretty regularly and I think he has started to translate the teacher's study guide for Sanskrit. I asked for a little bit detailed descrption of the project and budget and he said that he was sending it in a day about five days ago. We look for it.
Nimsar, Rasmin, Ransim, Sranmi... Unless we are friends of Krsna and play with Him, what's the use of all of this? So nice to watch the Little Krsna video and read the Krsna book!
