hare krsna ,AGTSP, PAMHO..

this is regarding two instructions of yours

1. best effort for japa yajna then sankirtana has life

2. internal programme is more important than external program.

...questions ...

1. why we see many devotees focussing on external program?

 

ASA - AGTSP    paoho...   Because they like it.   Because they are on the level of Karma-yoga, not dhyana or jnana-yoga. That's our opinion. Basic thing is focus on something sublime and do it.    How'r Prabhupuda says that Sankirtana is the most important service and Japa is the most essential service.   Jaya! 

 

2. why did Srila Prabhupada always focussed on fulfilling orders of Printing books and preaching books [ it seem to be focussiong on external program].

 

ASA - Yet, can we say he was focused that way if we look at this books. He is living there now as always.   First verse is vaco-vegam....    External, middle and internal are all there!    Serve Krsna with body, mind and words!

 

3. we are not able to understand the priorities of external progam and internal program.. devotees stretch themselves so much for external program that their health suffers and then their internal program suffers.

 

ASA - Acharya gives balance.   At least 16 rounds/day, regular morning and evenning program and Karma yoga during the day.  Do whatever you can do for Krsna nicely, not dog-hard!

 

4. Bg 4.34 that one should serve spiritual master then ask question, is this service sadhana or sankirtana or vapu?

 

ASA - It is just asking questions to remove distress, at first.

 

5. even in ISK there are awards like book distributor of the year , best temple of the year etc... are not these focussing on external programme ?

 

ASA - Yes, but there is also "BG 10-10-11" in ISKCON also.  Life Members who eat chicken and Sannyasis who don't eat Karmi bread!    We must find our position and join the fight.  Some are elefants, some are crocodiles.

 

aspiring to be disciplined by you.

ASA -  SO nice to hear from you!      Can you please cal Dr. Samaresh after 9.30PM if you don't hear from him every day?   Please keep accounts of your NIOS expenses!!

Pasatiempos en sankirtana

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Guru y Gauranga y a su sankirtana eterno

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Hare krsna Guru Maharaj, estámos mucho mejor. Estoy levantándome a las 5:00 am y cantando 16 rondas, sankirtana y lectura, estoy en el capítulo 25 de Las enseñanzas del Señor Caitanya, pude entender que Prabhupada es bien claro al decir que el impersonalismo es ateísmo disfrazado y que los mayavadis son aún más peligrosos que el Budismo, y lo confirmé más aún al escuchar el Caitanya Caritamrta Adi Lila cap. 3 y 4 que está leyendo P. Gadai Gauranga, es muy interezante escuchar a Srila Prabhupada.

Entre la ciudad de Huancayo y Huancavelica voy distribuyendo 110 libros pequeños, 1 enseñanza del Señor Caitanya, 1 Ciencia de la autorrealización y 1 Viaje al autoconocimiento, P. Gadai distribuyó más libros grandes, el próximo viaje es ir a Puno y Juliaca y de ahí a Cusco con P. Adveita Thakur das después de su llegada de la India.

Un pasatiempo de sankirtana; La semana pasada estábamos tristes porque no podiamos salir a sankirtana porque estábamos enfermos pero en la calle una persona a lo lejos Un señor llamado Mariano le llamó por su nombre Gadai, no sé ni como se acordó su nombre, y le dijo que le lleve otros libros de lo que había traído el mes pasado y el señor se llevó 1 enseñanzas de la reina kunti, 1 enseñanzas de Kapiladeva y 12 libros pequeños, al día siguiente nos dimos valor para hacer sankirtana. Gurudeva ahora entiendo que los libros terminan predicandonos a los que damos libros en las calles y que la predica  de srila Prabhupada nunca terminará con nosotros.

Otro pasatiempo es que aquí en huancavelica gente que conocía de vista y amistades de la universidad me llevaron libros, aveces me averguenzo en hablarles pero a la vez me siento feliz de dar un libro que está cambiando mi vida, la mente me predica aveces.

Gurudeva muchas gracias por su asociación mediante este medio, ahí le envío fotos de mis deidades que todavía no tienen nombre.

Un saludo cordial,

Hare krsna

ASA - Jaya Srila Prabhupada.                     Upadesamrta, Srila Prabhupada says that he started this ISKCON movement single handedly and at first there was no response. But he continued with his duty and then people appreciated the importance of the movement and it expanded like anything.

Gurumaharaja; reportes y preguntas

13 years, 2 months ago by Bhakta Italo in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

http://italo

Mis respetuosas reverencias a Srila Prabhupada y a Mi Querido Guru.

Estamos en Tacna sobreviviendo con un sadhana de 4 rondas, y principios  los 4 estos cuatro ultimos dias, programas de lectura, sankirtan de vez en cuando, otros.

ASA - Jaya!   TlgaSP   Pfanrh    Cada aso en esta sendero tiene un advanza eterno!!

Gurudeva mi inquietud es que porque no puedo seguir mis 4 principios tranquilamente,

ASA - No se, pero si esfuerza segur el obstaculo va a ser mas claro obviamente!!  ([0:)-

se me hace una ansiedad y al cabo de unos dias caigo y tengo que pedir permiso a Sri Guru para que me los complazca, claro que ya no es mucho como antes, igual con las rondas cada que canto un poco mas rapido me duele el pecho y canto las 4 rondas al cabo de 2 horas y media.

Ahora ultimo no estoy encontrando  placer en mi servicio como antes, pienso que son los medicamentos que estoy tomando, pero estos me ayudan a no presenciar sutilezas y pesadillas.

En verdad me doy cuenta que soy un desastre tratando de complacer a Sri Guru, mi corazon esta lleno de ansiedades y no puedo escuchar bien lo que canto a pesar que lo hacemos despacio. por favor Maharaja instruyame. 

ASA - Mantiene como esta y aumenta con leyenda del libro Krsna.   Esta semana estamos en capitulo tres.  Envia su reportaje.
