Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva¡¡¡

AGTSP

PAOHO

Hope U feel better by now.

           ASA -  AGTSP     paoho.   We are miserable, like you and everyone else.  Feet are swollen.  Head ache coming from answering 25 letters, but is not cold and damp to death like Lima.  Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!

We were really worried for not seeing U at Japa Joe ¡¡¡ Utsahan ¡¡¡

All the members of NIMSAR try to follow your standar because the blessings are when we follow the instruction... Thanks for your inspiration.

As You know we had a meeting in chosica July 28th (Independence day for Peruvians).. The deities were Gorgeous and there were a very nice festival that day on the temple 

LAD suggested that it will be good to have  a general coordinator for education that works with the coordinator of each temple
It was explained that Nimsar is affiliated to ASA, under the jurisdiction of Tamohara Das. In Peru it is expected that  NIMSAR  has the same relationship with the temple that Bhaktivedanta College has with the temple. Independent but integrated with the management of the temple.
 
Regarding to the Introduction of Bhakti Yoga  the authorities suggested including   Courses for disciples
One suggestion is to locate  people according to their propensities
And later there can be courses for Communication, administration, etc..
It is suggested that when we give courses we should wear  devotional clothes.
It is suggested to give training for  monks
P. Jaga Jivan  said that He can invite  Visudha Sattva (Cosmology and other courses)
 
We made the  announcement the begining  NIMSAR courses on September 28th 
 
  P. Jagajivan talked to some disciples from HH HpS, he was concerned about the threat of political influence among some disciples against the authorities, he said that he  appreciate, respect and follow the advice of HH HpS and P. Jagajivan promised to write an  apology to the blog.
The coordinators of each program in NIMSAR discussed about costs of each course,percentage for NIMSAR
Bhakti vaibhava starts in La Paz Bolivia in August 
Bhakti vaibhava in Lima registration, invitation, for August 13th the advertisement will be ready.
We will present calendars,scheduling, Will be presented calendars, scheduling and books of BS, BV, IBY (Introduction to Bhakti Yoga).
 
¨ Next department coordinators meeting on Friday, 2nd  4 pm via Skype.
There is one temple manager, one coordinator and one tutor, in the meeting we will discuss the role of each one.
We noticed the necessity to update the study guides.
The three coordinators of each department will also be part of the commission to create the guide for Introduction to Bhakti yoga.
Thank u all so much Gurudeva for all your inspiration, blessings and shelter ¡¡¡ We feel so blessed to have your guidance ¡¡¡¡
Hope to see U soon

Maharaj I am writing to thank you for japa program which helps me every day.

 also take this opportunity to thank all the devotees who participate in it.

    This program helps me to combat the onslaught of the ravenous senses.

              the chanting of japa is very nice with your association.

        Krsna's mercy. every day the process is a bit more clear.

today I'm listening to bhajans sung by Srila Prabhupada.   Amar Jivan, Hari Hari Biphale janama, Anadi Karama phale are gems. from bg 4.34 cannot argue with the spiritual master. I think that's all.  thank you very much Maharaj.  please forgive all my offenses your fallen servant George.

         hps - asa - agtsp.....   paoho.....   maya tatam idam sarvam....  bg 7.? ....  cited 'noi' 3 to show that enthusiasm means to use everything in krsna's service, by the instruction of the spiritual master.       george is a plenary potentate of the regent of spain, maybe, so we soon expect the king of spain to be joinning 'japa-joe' daily.  the reverse is true.  it is george's participation that has done much to keep us all together from 1.30-2.30am daily.

Report from Czech

12 years, 3 months ago by pnd in Personal Sadhana Reports, Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports
Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 
Month ago I left Mayapur to Czech for 3 months. It is pretty good here, except I am getting more crazy and sad to see how many people are systematically avoiding to remember Krishna, including me. I feel my mind is more peaceful, my theory is that it is caused by the fact that I am cooking myself, instead of eating prasadam cooked by others.
             HpS - ASA - AGTSP.  Paoho.  11.34PM.  If we take rest by 11.45 PM that will be two Muhurtas of rest before Japa Joe.  Brother Ass is O.K.  Got chronic arthitis in the right thigh, feet are starting to swell up, eyes get strain from computer, but seems O.K.   It is soooo nice to hear from you.  On behalf of the hundreds of readers of this Blog, we thank you for setting it up and maintaining it.
It is good to hear that your leave from Mayapur is temporary. Yes, same experiennce, when we cook for ourselves has good effect, but is also good to get Prasad of others also, especially nice devotees.
 
...My morning sadhana is still pretty bad. My body and mind is enemy here as I was born at the evening and my brain was always most effective in nightly hours, but I didn't give up, hoping one day I will be able to switch it till end of this life.
             HpS - Try to make little changes.  We tried to go from 25 rounds/day to 32 but couldn't do it.  So now we have been able to keep 26/day!
 
Most of the time I work on my business project and hopefully will be ready soon. Thing which is really good is that I am learning every day something new and most of this I will be able to use in new engine for vedabase.com.
               HpS - Another super project. I see so many people, groups using it.  Having professional librarians help us set up an index will be super.
 
... All family here loves when I cook, so I often cook for everybody here. I was planning to eat more like a raw salts, but seems Krishna has different plan. Normally 8 people come for prasadam. It makes me happy to see how are they unknowingly attracted to Krishna. They are also offering help with cutting vegetables and nephew was also asisting and singing while offering. :)
 
I have very strong tendency to use mind and intelligence in mode of passion and it is hard for me to push myself to read Bhagavatam during day, so I am reading before sleep, but unfortunately not every day. I know that is very bad and slowly improving it. 
 
Funny is that Krishna is the biggest trickster, so he inspires people to write through vedabase.com contact form and ask different philosophical questions, which force me to do research and answer them. Today we spoke with somebody about Vedas and BG and SB as  their essence and bhakti-yoga as ultimate way to re-establish relationship with Krishna.
 
A week ago I went to church together with my two cousins. They moved from roman-catholic to protestant church in last years, so I wanted to visit as see. They sing lot of sweet songs, and mainly they sing about pure devotion, it was very inspiring. Problem was with their class, when priest was talking as it was very poor philosophy, listening to it was very painful. I would like to come more often for singing, but would like to avoid lecture there.
 
Visit of the church reminded me how fortunate we are to have Srila Prabhupada, for bringing us answers for all our questions which is Christan religion unable to answer.
 
It is now more than month I was not physically in association of the devotees. But during this week I will visit devotees on the farm.
 
Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das
                     HpS - Jaya!  Such a nice report.  You are also a journalist.  Read like a paragraph of the Krsna book each day after breakfast, before you start your work.

=====================================================

HpS - ASA

Estimado Discipulo Tonto,
TlgaSP. Pfanrh....   Como su Consejero Tonto puedo decir que aparece muy bien para nosotros. 1) Las cosas importantes que esperan la demas y Vds en la relacion tiene que ser escrito con firma de todos,  2) Tiene que ser un compromiso para un tiempo fijado, por ejemplo vamos a trabajar con miembro de la Junta con 1-hora cada semana de reuniones y dos horasa de trabajo personal HASTA fin del Deciembre esta ano. En esta fecha podemos pensar en como mejor el servicio y continuar para mas tiempo o dejar el servicio.

O.K?    Piensa es buena idea?  Tiene que realizar un revolucion para Krsna en Chosika!!!

Querido Gurudeva, amhr. TLGASP!
Muchas gracias por contestar. Si Gurudeva usted siempre tiene ideas brillantes. Se dice que en las instrucciones del Guru se encuentran las bendiciones. Oro a Nrshimhadev para poder seguir siempre sus instrucciones. Ompurnam Prabhu nos dijo que la Junta Nacional va a entregar una carta de aprobación. He aceptado este compromiso  hasta Gaura Purnima 2014, eso les comunique a ellos. Hay mucho por hacer. Por ahora vamos a ubicar el Plan Estrategico (que el templo tiene) a un plano practico. Asi que estamos recogiendo datos (diagnostico) por medio de entrevistas, luego fichas y encuestas. Ese va a ser nuestro aporte, tratar de organizar lo que faltaba. Ademas hemos presentado un proyecto "Club Radha Madana Vihari", el cual ha sido aprobado y espero luego darle mas informes.

Esperando siempre buena salud para Usted.

                                        Su tonto discipulo Anandamaya das.

HpS - Esperamos detalles!!!!
