Hare Krishna Maharaja, todas las glorias a srila Prabhupada.
El motivo de mi carta es. Cómo puedo guiar mi mente en krishna en el momento que bailo ya que es muy complicado consentrarse por el ritmo o por la gente y pienso todo menos en Sri krishna.
Mis humildes reverencias.bhaktin Indira

Krishna no es diferente de Su nombre o parafernalia. Los ritmos utilizados en los Kirtans de Srila Prabhupada no son diferentes de Krsna. ¡Baila con Krsna!
Querido Gurumaharaja:
Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias!
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!
Muchas veces escribo cartas para Usted pero al final decido no enviarlas y las guardo.
Hace 24 años aproximadamente le escribí una carta que aun recuerdo muy bien, decía:
Querido Gurumaharaja
Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias!
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!
Sigo haciendo servicio en el restaurante Govinda de Miraflores pero por los horarios del servicio, a pesar que vivo en el templo no puedo escuchar las clases de Srimad Bhagavatam y Bhagavad Gita , pero el día de mi cumpleaños la administradora del restaurante me regaló una grabadora, así que tengo muchos cassette de clases de Ud y cada vez que puedo en el servicio escucho Sus clases con audífonos.
Tengo la duda si es suficiente escuchar las clases en cassette para mi conocimiento de la filosofía.
Terminé la carta pero estuve pensando ... quizás no es una pregunta importante e inteligente y no debo molestar a Gurumaharaja, así que doble la carta y la puse entre las páginas de un libro ( unos capítulos del primer canto del SB).
Pasaron algunas semanas y un día las autoridades del templo dijeron: llegaron cartas para las discípulas de SS. Hanumatpresaka Swami, había una carta para mi!!! escrita a puño y letra de Gurumaharaja pues en ese entonces no usábamos el internet.
Al leer la carta además de otras misericordiosas instrucciones Gurumaharaja decía: "no es suficiente escuchar clases en cassette tienes que tratar de escuchar cada día en las clases y también debes leer los libros"
... yo no envíe mi carta pero me llegó la respuesta :)
Bendigame por favor para observar fielmente esa instrucción lo mejor que pueda.
Todas las glorias a Gurumaharaja!!
SS. Hanumatpresaka Swami!!!
Nuestro refugio eterno.
Su eterna aspirante a sirviente

HpS - ASA --- Somos tontos! Esperamos Krsna es adjustando todos los errores realiza nosotros en papel de guru, sannyasis, ser humano!!!! nos vemos pronto.
Hare Krsna Maharaj,
PAMHO, AGTSP
we never understood the importance of ritualistic following 16 rounds and 4 regs.
5.15.3 says
"If one rigidly observes the regulative principle of chanting sixteen rounds of the mahā-mantra every day, his dealings with the material world for the sake of spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement are not different from the spiritual cultivation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness."
for the benefit of readers.
money follower.
ASA - Money follower or Monkey follower, or as in our case, Monkey Money follower?
harsh
HpS - ASA - It was very nice to get your association in Delhi, Noida. It was such a short "busness" trip that we did not have much time to associate with anyone on more brahminical terms. Please don´t give up on us!
In terms of your question our first thought is what we heard ine time from a lecture of something that Srila Prabhupada said that following these rituals of vaidhi bhakti are like the marriage ceremony. It is a formality. The marriage has already been arranged before the ceremony, but it is not without meaning. If the rituals are dictated by an Acharya according to time, place and circumstance they are the practical application of the general principles found in the Vedas, and beyond that there is the aspect of this standard being the contract between us and Krsna by the media of the Acharya. Even if following the rituals has some defect, it is the standard established by our Master and He will adjust for any mistakes.
There are three ways to do things! The right way, the wrong way and the ISKCON way!!
Yes, Sir!!
Okay?
Hare Krishna Gurudeva. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I had a question about JBS deities. In the past, people have asked us to have Jagannath but we weren't ready so we did not accept.
On Saturday, someone brought them to our house. My parents think we are still not ready to worship them because our standard is not enough. I was wondering if you could enlighten us on what standards Jagannath requires and if you think we could be qualified to worship him. Thank you very much 🙏
Your insignificant servant,
Sugopi Radha dd
HpS - AGTSP.... paoho.... Very nice question for everybody. I don't think we have any perfect knowledge on the subject. JBS are 80% merciful as I understand. Gaura-Nitai 100% except for Vaisnava aparadha. Radha Krsna, very strict. Love, Cleanliness, Punctuality, Paraphernalia-Rituals.
Those are the priorities.
You can keep Them in the house and don't have to worship Them by Arcana. There are pictures of JBS in Srila Prabhupada's books.
On the altar, if you are following Japa vrata and 4-principles and can keep Them clean and have regular offerings of Incense, Flowers, Lamp, and Bhoga, then that would be nice worship.
Mangala arati, Evening Arati.
It can be simple eg. Incense, Lamp, Flower.
O.K.??
Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

HARE KRISHNA GURUDEVA, su inútil sirviente, Abhiram Thakur das.
Hare Krsna dear Gurudev,
Please accept our most humble obeisances.
All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.
We wanted to get your blessings on an endeavor. We have been associating with new devotees on Friday and Sunday: one who is a former disciple of Muktananda and another a former LA temple Bhakta (20 years ago). Both are pretty sincere. I asked them if they wanted to read scriptures together at the temple. They seemed relieved almost that I asked them (both are new to Boise) and we have our first meeting tomorrow. Also I asked a few other bhaktin types (Alicia, Andrea, etc if they would like to join a women sangha group and a some seemed enlivened by the subject. Ananta Rupa gave permission for the group meeting on Tuesdays at 7 and now we hope to also seek the blessings/permission from you Guru Maharaj.
HpS - Yes!! AGTSP paoho.
God bless you!
Also, with your permission and guidance, it would be the most practical and most honorable task to follow your current Tave Pache Pache (you are also welcome to say no of course and we will understand). Since I attempted to follow it a few years ago as a befuddling spectator and participant, I am somewhat familiar with the contents. Also when questions arise we could seek guidance from the Bhakti-Vaibava crew: Sundari Radhika, Sugopi, Sreenivas, Radhika Raman and Ananta Rupa etc especially when preparing for the upcoming meeting. Also with your recommendation if you deem fit, we could read 2 verses a week (starting with NOI) for the first 30 minutes, then read the study guide, answer questions together as a group, and have a short discussion (similar to the current Bh. Vai. format).
The main personal purpose is to create a sangha to study together, learn content together, and follow a schedule to study (following the guidance outlined in TPP Preface). The other aspect is the new comers who are really interested need association and especially need association with Prabhupada (then it may stick! who knows...). We are putting urgent in the subject field only because we somehow blurted out this idea to the woman folk this Sunday (it came from the Supersoul or from our desperate mind, who knows?) It may have come out of inspiration after hearing your recent reviews of NOI last week and we had a great desire to do Bhakti Sastri again (we tried to join a Gita Nagari group, but were rejected due to it being over capacity at over 80 students!!). We just know we can't do it alone, but we are hoping in this format and with guidance it may be possible. We apologize for not asking first. We are interested in your thoughts/opinions/guidance.
Thank you so much.
Your aspiring servant,
Kamagayatri Dasi
