HpS - Thank you. Maybe not lost on the Blog. Do you read the Kapi Dhvaja? Patraka Das translates it into Spanish. You can get his link for that in the "Peru" link on the www.jayarama.us page.

Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare!

We were posting there that while traveling we meet so many people that we cannot keep up with our mail and only answer Blog Posts labeled, "URGENT". Your report is super. We will be in Argentina at the start of July for three weeks. We are fixing the travel plans now. I think mainly BsAs, but short trip to Mar de Plata. Cordoba???

Hari Bolo!!!! Become more pure daily.

Craig's, Cliffs and Sacrifice

5 years, 8 months ago by chas d lind in Special Category A

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

This is a copy of a re-write I just did. It was sent to my brother Craig recently after my Fathers passing (more on that later...so much to say). Also sent copies to others in our family for a hopeful Soul nurturing.

After sharing this story, I found out that Craig just divorced his wife of 40 years. Sacrifice in vanity is dangerous, am not sure if he'll even converse with me, he's become as reclusive as my middle brother that he despises. Glad the devotee's are in my life, we don't have time for this.

It's been a week since Dad left, still in mourning. Have been getting more and more stories coming through my heart, words keep coming to me in new symbolism. Japa takes real focus for it seems there are many more things I need to say. Tulsi-Mala save me!!

Ok, here's our Sacrifice;

HpS - Yes, there are so many impressions from our family stored in our heart, Buddhi, that will come out at the time of death unless we deal with them now!

There was a family in a small Mountain Village and one of their children was sick, so they called a Doctor to check what was wrong. The Doctor examined the child and said the fever is from gangrene, we need to remove 2 fingers. The Mother was objecting, the Doctor said,” If we don’t sacrifice the fingers the arm will be next”. Her husband looked at her and they understood.

After this all was fine and the family decided to visit a relative in the city. After an arduous journey they made it to their relatives, even though there were some quarrels going on in the neighborhoods. The family greeted one another with great joy and they all were reminiscing… when noises were heard coming from the outside neighborhood, sounds of explosions, shouting and rioting.

The family all gathered in the hidden cellar and quietly waited. Sounds of footsteps of thugs walking above their heads was heard, they were very still. The Mother was holding her baby in her lap, the child sensed the fear and was attempting to cry. Everyone gazed, the Mother looked back in terror and she saw that another sacrifice had to be made; with tears in her eyes she suffocated her own child.

Hours later a battalion of the Army came and vanquished the invaders and some peace was restored. The family fled, while other parts of the city were still in siege. Returning to their home they had great relief and nurtured one other through what happened

As the weeks went, the battle in the city still was on, the villagers safe in the Mountains continued life warily. Then one night a village guard observed a couple of invaders trying to sneak-in, taking careful aim the guard put an arrow through one, but the other fled to tell his leader. The news spread quickly and the Lord’s garrison immediately came to the village. They told the villagers their town is the only thing keeping the Invaders from entering into the heart of the country, they must be stopped!

The family and the rest of the villagers knew another sacrifice must be made. Taking their eldest and strongest son’s they gave them to the Lord’s army, then despondently departed for higher ground. A tumultuous fight began as the rogue invaders starting entering the village. Arrows and cannonballs were flying everywhere, along with swords clashing and fires raging . The remaining soldiers and villagers finally succeeded, though there was nothing left of the village, the sacrifice had saved the country.

The Mountain family who had lost a baby now had lost their son’s and their village was decimated. The Mother was so distraught she collapsed and died, the Father was in shock losing his wife and decided to see the Lord of the Land. He took his last child and quickly went to the Lord’s castle. Hearing what happened the Lord offered him anything in his kingdom, he knew his sacrifice, whatever the Father needed he would give.

Sobbing the man cried, “I need my wife, I need my children, I need my village, what is left in the World for me?” The Lord sensed his great quandary and sadness. The King knew he needed greater help. Taking the Father and his child he brought them to a grand hall and in there were many citizens, families and even hurt people from his own village. They were all joyously serving one another with food, sustenance and love. The Lord’s Queen came up to the Father and bowed. Astonished the Father asked the Queen, “How did all these people become so happy?”

The Queen smiled at her Husband and then gently placed her hand on the Fathers Heart and said, “They sacrificed the World and regained their Soul”.

All sacrifices bring knowledge, never stop giving, never give up on your Soul.

Thank you for your valuable time Maharaja, All glories to your service!

HpS - Pretty telling. It is in Chanakya Pandita, no? If we save our soul we have done our best to save everyone's soul. That is the nature of the soul.

Sri Vyasa Puja for my first Spiritual Masters

5 years, 8 months ago by candra108_mukhi in Special Category A

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, pamho

I was with my co-workers and I started to show them pictures about my family. I got a little emotional, I almost cry, these pictures are really great.

From my father I learn how to be responsible, when I wake up in the middle of the night, my father was almost always reading books, he loved to learn new things, he was very generous, intelligent, but also strict. I remembered when he bought lots of LOB and distributed to his friends from the University, also the programs that he did with your very goodself in Alas Peruanas University. He obtained his PHD at a very old age.

My MOTHER is a real MOTHER she was always taking care of her family she is very sweet and a very CHASTE lady. When my sister was one year old, my father got an scholarship to study a course in seismology in Japan. And my mom was alone and more than one doctor, etc wanted to have an affair with her, but she never cheated on my father. She was really firm and strict with that, and asked for help from her brother.

She is almost dying now, my father is already gone but my heart and intelligence is full from all what they taught me, I feel so so so so proud and bless to be her and his daughter, maybe in other life I may be her mother or father I would like that.

My mother suffers a lot I hope she gets a better destination soon. She will always remain in my heart as well as my dad and U.

Thanks Gurudeva for all your protection. I feel lonely sometimes, but with your support, jokes and association I feel better. AGTSP.

Thanks all this mercy is undeserved.

I am more conscious now about being a good person as U told me on whatssapp try to become an angel now hahaha, well maybe not a perfect angel, but I will do my best. Doing the right thing is always the best option, being a instrument of peace as Saint Francis says

Thanks a lot Gurudeva again, thanks for being my Gurumaharaja. AGTSP

Trying to be your disciple

HPS - Jaya. I think of my parents. That is very good. If nice people think of us after we die it certainly is good for us!! Thank you. Pain is just loud noise, screaming, in the body, nerves. Try to control it for Krsna, and if it is too strong then let Krsna control it. Maybe it seizes the whole body. Body is like a piece of paper. Don't let it consume your whole field of vision!

anandamaya das, karuna mayi devi dasi, gandharva, mataji et al, could start an export service of devotional paraphernalia from peru?

Srila Prabhupada said that we could maintain ourselves selling devotional paraphernalia. Hare Krsna!


Peru is a beggar sitting on a golden throne. Don't sell the throne (breaking of pieces). Let people sit on it to and have their picture taken.

Dress Radha Madha Gopal one last time for one festival in an old set. Photograph, video it and and then make the old dresses into japa bags, book bags, baby vests and hats etc and then distribute them to donors etc. with booklet of the last dressing.

Grow tulsi and make beads on a little hand driven lathe. Saw on in Braja.

Take local bags and embellish them with KC art! ASA can take samples to USA. Krsna Culture in Houston and mass market them.

Hare Krsna!

URGENT: NOI Commentary - File with no audio

5 years, 8 months ago by srinath in Special Category A

Dear Guru Maharaj

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

The last audio file of Text 2 that you sent me (noi-2.5[bss-atyahara to end.mp3]) does not have any audio. Although the file is 10.58 mins long, I couldn't hear anything. Can you resend me the file with your commentary Maharaja?

If you don't find the file, can you please record you commentary for Text 2 starting from "The wealth of the world should be used for the welfare of all living entities" to the end?

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa


ASA - We are just getting to this. Sometimes we can't do everything then we become depressed and take shelter of intoxication (pnut butter and strawberry jam), but step by step we are advancing in devotional service. We really try our best. See how much work we get done and then see our limits. Eg. now we are starting to get a headache. See how many letters we wrote here, then there is Yahoo mail, and Whatsapp stuff. We just can't do any more. So we deserve a rest (light work).

We opened the named file and our copy is also empty. We started to read and record but our only comment is really that ... We can see that Srila Prabhupada cites the complete Iso Text ONe and then paraphrased the Invocation. So, these two texts from Iso seem to be the most important, memorizable. We have used them several times as the basis for courses in universities on Vedic economics. For Bh. Vai we might add Text 15 for memorization. Of course, you can do it as soon as you like and use it for your Sankirtan. Both Iso 15 and BG 15.15 are wonderful for preaching in the heavy scholarly Sanskrit environment.
