Visit to Murfreesboro earlier this year

Hare Krsna!

This is Acarya-nistha Das brahmacari from Chicago Illinois. This was a Sankirtan report from back in June that we had a little trouble posting.

I Recently got to visit Murfreesboro for college outreach cultivation efforts. Some very favorable students at MTSU and we held a small program with some of them. I was privileged to stay with Hanumatpresaka Mahārāja at his ashram for the weekend. I was deeply impressed with Maharajas austerity and simplicity. Felt like Vrindavan in Tennessee. Ecstatic tele- Mangla arati with Peruvian devotees, class, Kirtan and our greatest treasure Krsna Katha.

Mahārāja gave nice talk on BG 12.10 at the weekly Friday program on Bhakti vs Karma Yoga; very relevant for grhastas yet was surprised hardly any questions: perhaps the topic flew over some heads.. Thank you again Mahārāja and we’ll see how we can try to contribute to the preaching there.

Your aspiring servant,

Acharya-nistha Das

HpS - AgtSP. Yes, a little slow in posting. 😀 Two months. We have traveled from the Boro to Houston, Lima, Buenos Aires and back etc. How can we help you? What is your Sankirtan style???

urgent: Sunday feast at Sri Govardhana

5 years, 9 months ago by bhaktanicasio in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

And the last day of His Holiness's visit to Mar del Plata arrived.

The entire community was ecstatic with the transcendental visit. The most intimate day is coming, Gurudev on the farm.

We began with the class of Caitanya Caritamrita given by His Grace Panca Tattva prabhu, who felt a little intimidated by the fact that gurudev was among the listeners. Many questions arose and they were answered by Gurudev, we feel that we abused of his mercy a Little, technically, it would be three classes in one day. If Gurudev's doctor reads this, he would get mad at us. Gurudev seemed calm and happy as always.

Then the class would come with the children of the Gurukula, Gurudev began leading a bhajan with the harmonium and then spoke with the children about the importance of music and celibacy for spiritual advancement.

At noon the class arrived at the Sunday feast. The weather was ugly, so we had to rescue some devotees from the mud. There were people, more than usual.

Many things happened during Gurudev's visit. The Sakti of advanced devotees.

We hope to see you soon Gurudeva !!

You show us that this process is scientific and real!

Trying to follow it !!

Hare Krishna !!

Fiesta de domingo en Sri Govardhana

Y llego el ultimo dia de la visita de Su Santidad a mar del plata.

Toda la comunidad extática con la visita trascendental. Se viene el dia mas intimo, Gurudev en la finca.

Comenzamos con la clase de Caitanya Caritamrita dada por Su Gracia Panca Tattva prabhu, quien se sintió un poco intimidado por el hecho que gurudev estaba entre los oyentes. Muchas preguntas surgieron y las termino de responder Gurudev, sentimos que abusamos un poco de su misericordia, serian técnicamente tres clases en un dia. Si nos lee el medico de Gurudev se enojaría con nosotros, el parecía tranquilo y feliz como siempre.

Luego vendría la clase con los niños del Gurukula, Gurudev comenzó liderando un bhajan con el armonio y luego hablo con los niños acerca de la importancia de la música y el celibato para el avance espiritual.

Al mediodía llego la clase en la fiesta de domingo. El clima estuvo feo por lo que tuvimos que rescatar del barro a algunos devotos. Hubo gente, mas de lo habitual.

Muchas cosas sucedieron durante la visita de Gurudev. El Sakti de los devotos avanzados.

Lo espermos pronto Gurudeva!!

Usted nos muestra que este proceso es científico y real!!

Intentando seguirlo!!

Hare Krishna!!

Urgent: Conversation with political and social leaders.

5 years, 9 months ago by bhaktanicasio in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

The meeting was attended by the international reference of the Vaisnava tradition, Professor Huber Robinson (Hanumatpresaka Swami), who shared a table with the candidate for Mayor Santiago Bonifatti, and the candidates of Federal Consensus Pablo Zelaya Blanco, Sofía Ardusso, Hugo Juárez and Paula Hourcades as community leaders who work in collective contexts and participate in different political spaces.


Bonifatti highlighted this meeting as “a unique opportunity to share experiences and opinions with people who work with young people, with children, in other political parties and mainly with people from other religions such as Catholic, Evangelical and Hinduism. Politics must meet the spiritual gaze, it is a necessity because it is something that crosses us beyond the religion that each one professes. I celebrate that we can reflect on Education and the Sacred in an election year where the priorities that each candidate has are precisely manifested. For us this is very important. ”


Professor Huber Robinson also said: “Understanding the sacred capturing the sacred is the ultimate purpose of education. From the point of view of the Vedic culture, a traditional Asian culture, this world is a madhouse, and this is also commented by other religions. So religion means "religare," like the ligament of one hand, to reconnect; Yoga is the same, reconnect. So education, Socrates said the same thing, means waking up to our sacred nature, where things really have a personal and also cosmic meaning. ”

This event was covered by media and shared in social media.

Conversatorio con lideres políticos y sociales.

En el encuentro estuvo presente el referente internacional de la tradición Vaisnava, Profesor Huber Robinson (Hanumatpresaka Swami), quien compartió una mesa con el candidato a Intendente Santiago Bonifatti, y los candidatos de Consenso Federal Pablo Zelaya Blanco, Sofía Ardusso, Hugo Juárez y Paula Hourcades como líderes comunitarios que trabajan en contextos colectivos y participan de distintos espacios políticos.

Bonifatti destacó este encuentro como “una oportunidad única para compartir experiencias y pareceres con personas que trabajan con jóvenes, con niños, en otros partidos políticos y principalmente con personas de otras religiones como la católica, evangélica y el hinduismo. La política debe encontrarse con la mirada espiritual, es una necesidad porque es algo que nos atraviesa más allá de la religión que cada uno profesa. Celebro que podamos reflexionar sobre la Educación y lo Sagrado en un año electoral donde justamente se manifiestan las prioridades que cada candidato tiene. Para nosotros esto es muy importante”.

También el Profesor Huber Robinson dijo: “Entender lo sagrado capturar lo sagrado es el último propósito de la educación. Desde el punto de vista de la cultura védica, una cultura asiática tradicional, este mundo es un manicomio, y esto lo comentan otras religiones también. Entonces religión significa “religare”, como el ligamento de una mano, reconectar; el Yoga es lo mismo, reconectar. Entonces la educación, Sócrates dijo lo mismo, significa despertar hacia nuestra naturaleza sagrada, donde las cosas realmente tienen un significado, personal y también cósmico”.

El evento fue cubierto en la prensa y tb compartido en redes sociales.

Tambien hubo prasadam y distribución de libros.
