"GAURANGA" - SOLO IDEAS

5 years, 4 months ago by Gadai in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, gracias por responderme a mi carta anterior.

Sigo aquí en Huancayo, y, también siguen habiendo cambios, pero bueno, seguimos en sankirtan "distribuyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada".

HpS - TlgaSP!!! Pfanrh...

Ahora mi padre esta enfermo, tiene neumonía, fue internado en un hospital de Lima, bueno, este mundo es así, mi padre respeta la Conciencia de Krsna. Estoy predicando a mi familia, por teléfono.

Mi madre se volvió vegetariana cuando comencé a conocer la Conciencia de Krsna, en el año 2003, también canta una ronda del Maha mantra Hare Krsna por las mañanas 7 am.

HpS - Prabhupada dijo que la mayoria de la gente a quien estamos predicando no va a convertir en devotos en esta vida. Pero proxima vida, si. Posible eso es nuestra hostoria, no?

Mi padre tiene 70 años y mi madre 75, entiendo que en un momento de sus vidas dejaran el cuerpo,

HpS - Ja! Ja! Yo 72! y todos

. . . nosotros también dejaremos el cuerpo, cada instante de nuestras vidas es importante para seguir desarrollando Conciencia de Krsna y no desaprovechar la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada.

Bueno le comento que un tío materno nos quiso estafar con un dinero que le dimos para los tramites de la embajada italiana, nos dimos cuenta a tiempo, estamos recuperando el dinero de a pocos, bueno, lo lamentable es que tendremos que empezar de nuevo pero con otro familiar que es mas responsable y serio. Bueno, si las cosas no se dan, entenderemos que es voluntad del Señor Supremo.

En mi carta anterior le comente sobre comprar un auto y trabajar para comprar libros, hacer programas de predica, etc. Bueno, son solo ideas, no es algo que sea definitivo o que ya este decidido, veremos que pasa y como se den las cosas (TENGO QUE ANALIZAR DETALLADAMENTE ESTE PLAN).

HpS - Canakhya Pandita dijo ... Exito proviene de buen consejo, y buen consejo proviene de muchos consejeros.!

Guru Maharaja tengo 3 preguntas:

¿Usted que opina de la Astrología Vedica?

HpS - Es la ciences ... ayurveda, vastu veda.... mas sutil, y entonces es el mas deficil. Es mejor obtener opinion de seis astrolgos en algo muy fina, pero para modo de trabajo, profesion.., matrimonio, momento de muerte, puede ser bien. Tambien tiempos bueno para vijar.

Hay devotos que han aprendido la Astrología vedica pero no lo utilizan para predicar sino para ganar dinero

Encontré una publicación en el Internet donde Srila Prabhupada le dice a su discípulo Sanatana Dasa lo siguiente:

Mi Guru Mahārāja era un gran astrólogo y astrónomo, pero lo abandonó todo. Eso es para los karmīs. A nosotros no nos interesan esas cosas.

Carta de Ś. P. a Sanātana dāsa (3 junio 1975)

¿como entender adecuadamente lo que Srila prabhupada nos enseña?

¿Se puede estudiar Astrología vedica y utilizarlo adecuadamente para el Sankirtan?

HpS ... Otra vez, es dificl relacionar on KC, pero posible. Usualmente Krsna da buen inteligencia a nosotros como relacionar con el mundo material. Prahlada ananda Swami y Bhanu Swami utilizan. Subhaga Swami me dijo que Prabhupada utiliza en forma simple para adjustar sus viajes.

Bueno con respecto al Sankirtan viajero, hay un grupo de devotos serios que quieren viajar en Sankirtan y por ahí algunos devotos independientes que viajan solos. Nos preguntamos ¿con quien viajar???

HpS --- No, se los detalles. Con buen devotos.

Bueno Guru Maharaja, que Nrsimha lo proteja y guíe sus pasos, que tenga un bonito festival de Sri Nityananda. Hare Krsna.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Siempre muchas gracias por su asociation. Cuales libros esta Vd distribuyendo????

ASA Sankirtan Leader's Report

Hare Krsna.

We met Misra-bhagavan Das when we B'caris in the Temple in Berkeley. Some think he's as crazy as a loon, but others think he is the back-bone of Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan army. Never stops distributing books according to his capacity.

Do you do that!! We have to take lessons from him!

HIS REPORT:

Humbles and Glories. Working hard in Radha Kalachandji Dhama. Mi esposa tiene trabajo con la City of Dallas. She is working as an operations specialist.

So far on sankirtan this month 14 people have bought Srila Prabhpada's books from me. Jayapataka Swami asked me to go to Chile. Next month I hope to go and find out why. Though I have been continuing with show business we aspire to go south for awhile and get into the educational field. 

I hope this meets you well. Yours , Mishra Bhagavan Das

Kirtan Event 2

5 years, 4 months ago by jaynityananda in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

ASA-We got this while we were traveling, months ago!

Thank you for your reply. In reply to your questions, the kirtan event is in April and September or October, fitting with events in the Dutch Yatra calendar. We prefer Vaishnava holidays, but are not attached to it.

So far we had five hour kirtans where people sing preferably 45 minutes or an hour. Some sang 30 minutes. I prefer longer kirtans for deepening the meditation. We've had the Damodarastakam, but generally we just chant Hare Krishna. We mix seniors with juniors who are in good standing. Besides that we still work on inviting Manu and his good wife (Radhadesh Mellows), Kadamba Kanana Swami or Sacinandana Swami. And perhaps 6 hours is worth the experiment (12-18).

HpS - Long time, but some may be ready. Advertise for early starting time for more advanced souls?

I'm still looking forward to make it to Spain whenever you are there, but so far i failed.

Your aspiring servant,

Raghava Pandita dasa

HpS - O.K. Send news of your April Kirtan experience!.

H. B. S. Damodara Swami, Ki Jai! It is so nice to hear from you. Our vehicle, donkey, is getting older and we cannot travel so much. We will probably go to India in August. Can you host a tour group of Vice-chancellors et al?============================

Dear Maharaj,

Hare Krishna!

Thanks for Your Holiness quick reply.

Please let me know the places which can be selected for cultural experiences during a trip to Your Holiness country.

Regarding hosting of a tour group of Vice-chancellors for a trip within Manipur, I like to request Your Holiness to make me understand more elaborately. 

Your servant

Radhacharan Das

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

HpS . . . AGTSP  Paoho...  USA is like Manipur. There are some places of interest as Narada muni was appreciating the material world as the production of Lord Visnu: https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/6/13/.

The Grand Canyon. Niagra Falls. It is a very big country and things can be very spaced. It is like asking about the places of cultural experience in Europe or India. As for human culture there is not much here. It is a materialistic culture in general. Killing animals and drinking alcohol is so common. 

The events organized by devotees of ISKCON such as Rathayatra are valuable. New York Rathayatra and Los Angeles Rathayatra. When would you visit? How many?  Who?   Best thing would be to travel with a Sannyasi or Sankirtan program during that time.

Our tour of India would be in August, organized by Hertiage Tours from Radhanatha Swami's yatra. They do first class tours. It would be professors and others from South America. Even Vice-chancellors. They would want to see Taj Mahal, Himalyan mountains, and they would also go to Vrndavana, Govardhana Eco-village and meet with Ministry of Education in Dehli... and.. maybe Manipura. It would be chance to establish educational, institutional, links for University of Bhagavata Culture. Maybe seven people. Maybe twenty.

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, pamho

The last 2 days I had fever, I do not have voice but I feel a lot much better. I want to deal with two issues in these letter.

First:

I received early in the morning a letter from a godsister who says that she needs to talk with me because she was feeling really bad. Her life was not as she expected and then I thought who gets the life that wants? hahaha. This is not our place and we suffer because we drift apart from the original source. KRSNA. I haven't talked to her yet, but I do not what to said to her. What to say to a person who has lost faith in Krsna? she signs with her karmi name, and addresses me with Hola so I can infere that she does not want to listen about Krsna, but he is within everything. What can I help her?

ASA - Answered this whole letter and then it got lost!! She must be remembering Krsna if she is approaching devotees. She also wrote to us. Yes, in the Peter Brook Mahabharata, at youtube. part two, bhima kills duhsana, his cousin, then he and draupadi, cover dusasana's face and bhima does a little death dance and then says into the camera, "we were not born to be happy.". Listen with your heart. Every situation is basically in SB. You can give good association. She is an individual and will move forward in her individual way, like all of us, with KRSNA, but we can help!!!

Second:

There is undoubtedly an increasing trend towards leaving ISKCON or at least its standards. In the past I did not understand that but many many devotees are becoming disappointed due to some behaviours of some authorities.

One temple president who does not like me even if I was programmed to do the abhisek in Nityananda Trayodasi asked another devotee to do so. When I received the news I just laughed hahaha. Well if you can not handle that I am straightforward so sorry. And the problem originated when another devotee told him that I do not trust him anyway I do not want to bother you with these issues. But I reacted completely calm, if Nityananda does not want me to do His abhishek is for some reason. On the other hand I have gorgeous deities at home. So I will do the abhishek at home for Them. I guess that had grown up.

ASA- "Don't be surprised who goes, be surprised who stays!".... Draupadi got drug into the public assembly in a terrible situation. NOBODY was going to help her but...… live your live with depth. Dance a new step with Krsna! Radha-krsna! She will teach you. Will you be the Draupadi in your next life?????

Thanks Gurudeva for your support and for your letter about Hermanos Espirituales Mayores.

I guess that we focus on nonesense more than service that is why we do not advance.
