Letter from a Friend

Hare Krsna!!

Dear Maharaj, I regret because I couldnt saw you more time. But I have been with a terrible pain on my back. I went to the doctor and made column and lungs x-ray plates. Fortunately both positives. I think it was stress and bad position for computer, I am better now but still need to find out what is it. 

So please excuse me. The Simposium was great, hope you and all your collaborators are satisfied with such an important work done.

I undestand you are n Chile now, right?

Thank you very much again.

P. O.

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

HpS - ASA --

Thank you so, so much for your letter!!

Yes, the symposium was intense work, but the result was over the top.  Your inauguration took us right the INCA.  It was incredible. We could see another world of so much power that it makes our's tiny.

We have had bad pain also. We see that it sends big signals through the whole nervous system like a loud noise. It paralyzes of causes convulsions. We fight that because it is humiliating to be just under the control of our body. No respectability.  But if we just let our selves become the pain. Then it is O.K.  Maybe we will die. LEave this body.

Maybe we meet old friends in next body, but for sure the naughty son of Maharaja Nanda, Krsna, is always lurking around trying to play with us.  We are His best friend. He misses our direct association.

We are back in Lima for 19th and 20th.

We really should discuss all this. The program in Lima and now Chile are expanding like anything. It would be nice to do something nice for many people, no?

Difference between brahma bhuta and samadhi

7 years, 1 month ago by bhaktanicasio in Special Category A

Hare Krisna beloved Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I know you are quite busy with your tour and preaching.

We were reading BG chapter 6 and I don't understand well the difference between the concepts of  brahma bhuta and samadhi.

Can you explain further please?

Thank you so much,

At your service,

Nikunja bihari das.

HpS - AGTSP.   paoho.  Yes.   When we stay in our cave in Nashville we can answer letters. The only human contact we have is when we go to our walk with NGD in the evening, but when we travel we are in contact with new people constantly  and need to talk about things.   Letters and personal contact. How to balance.

So nice to write to people, to you.

About 11-men, scholars, professors, are here in our rented luxury flat in Lima for the conference. They are so nice, so much stimulating each other. Then when we go to the public program they, we, all want to hear their public presentations.

Hope this network can contribute something to help the world.

https://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/18/54      -   This comes to mind.  Samadhi means to fix the mind on one thing.    Brahma bhuta means Brahman realization, there is a reality, I don't die, but there is no Paramatma, universal, congnizeable reality eg. Male and Female is an Eternal Reality.   I can know it.  Then if I apply that eternal knowledge I get eternal happiness. Sati, Cit, ANANDA.

Samadhi may mean to fix the mind, in a superficial, general sense, upon the Deity. Then there is no material relation, no sufering. It is  the beginning. Then..  I can meditate, Samadhi, on Krsna's smile, mercy, power.  More like Cit.   O.K?

Espero que este mejorando de lo problemas fisicos.

HpS - Hare Krsna!    Claro mejorado a veces, pero la direccion permanente es mas y mas problemas, la muerte y otro cuerpo... Waaah!!    Waaah!!   Waaah!     Haw!    Haw!   Haw!

estoy seguro que mejorando nuestro servcio y nuestra predica usted mejorara


Quisiera publicar un par de videos de un famoso psicologo clinico que esta inspirado  por C. Jung y ademas cree en Dios
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1sI99wJ23o
el problema principal que  nos encontrzmoz alpredicar es que no se puede demostrar la exitenciade Dios 
con lo que el argumento que usa de que la religion  es buena para mi y par mi familia por lo tanto es bueno para la sociedad.Es una buena manera de evitar e choque entre ateos y creyentes ademas este psicologo es famoso por la manera en la que no entra la polemica.
 Hay una entrevista que se ha convertido un manual que desde mi punto de vista puede ser muy util cuando al predicar nos intentan poner palabras o ideas que no hemos dicho o darles otro sentido  y no perder la paciecia ni el control
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMcjxSThD54
considero utiles algunas de las tecnicas utilizadas igual que usamos tecnologia pra mejorar nuestra vida y nuestra predica tecnicas psicologicas pueden serlo tambien
y en esto dos videos hay bastante tema para analizar si Usd considera que son interesentes
si no lo son pido disculpas por hacerle perder su tiempo y el de los devotos con mis comentarios

asi que soy como un cartero que manda un mensaje de un psicologo a otro

HpS - SUper GRacias.  No podemis revisar ahorita pero vamos a compartir con nuestras amigos aqui y despues esperamos ver y utilizar estas enlaces. Srila Prabhupada dijo que entre todos los filosofos occidental Jung tiene la mas sentido. Y sus seguiradores..... 

URGENT: NIOS details for Twirl Your Beads

7 years, 1 month ago by srinath in Special Category A

Dear Guru Maharaja

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

I used one of the ISBNs you sent me for the book and the review process from Createspace is complete. It is ready to be placed in the market for distribution.

For devotees in the blog who don't know about the book (Twirl Your Beads), it is a collection of Maharaj's writings from blog, Twitter and Kapi Dhvaja during the year 2017. It has Maharaja's poems, quotes, sketches from his diary, bachelor beans recipes and many full color pictures of Maharaja. Radhika Ramana prabhu edited the book. It is a humble offering on behalf of all of us to Maharaja. We thank all the devotees who contributed to the book.

We have chosen Amazon's Createspace as our printer. We do not have to worry about inventory maintenance and distribution channels with them because they offer an on demand printing service and give us access to amazon.com for distribution. 

Since NIOS is the publisher and the royalties from the book will go directly to NIOS's account, we need some tax information from NIOS before we can place the book in the market. I have sent you a detailed email on this regard about the information we need. I can also give any information that the NIOS board needs apart from the email I have already sent.

I am leaving to India next week on 24th October for my marriage. We have planned to go to Mayapur after the marriage. I will have internet access in most places I am visiting except Mayapur, if you need any other information. I will be back on 10th November to the States.

Please forgive me for bothering you so much during your travel.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HpS - Thank you very much. When we read the book it seems nice. Of course, these are extracts from Tom Brown's Diary so they are not like a finished book.

What about making it available in a Kindle or general e-reader format? Especially for this kind of book it seems better, less expensive. Also you are working on the ASA commentary on Upadesamrta, no?

We have been slow in moving this forward officially with NIOS because of the Viva Kultura program, posting the results on the Web-page and the complications with filing our annual tax report with the IRS. These are still problems but near solution. Publishing good products from ASA through NIOS is very important for us. 

We will send this post to Nitai-gaurasundara Das and I have just looked at your above mentioned letter in detail. The address is 2129 Stratford Rd. not 219. If we can't make the account directly with our non-profit corporation, NIOS, and it has to be in a personal name, I don't know what your income status would be on this. They might take the statement, contract, that you have from NIOS as making you just and agent, or they might take you as earning the income and then making a donation to NIOS. In any case the amount involved is going to be small in the begining and the letters of declaration make our intentions clear.

We will send the link for this post to NGD!

HpS - Very interesting!   You can see his soul!?   As we become purified we can for sure begin to see the Atma, but also we begin to see the shirt under the jacket, no?  The shirt reveals the persons more personal taste than his overcoat, no?

Manjulali DD news - Disciple List

All glories to Sri Sru Gaura Nitay

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my respectful obeisances to you and to all your service for the propagation of Krishna consciousness

Dear Guru Maharaj, it has been several months since our trip to Buenos Aires (ARG) to receive initiation and as you also remember receiving the news of my father who left his body, very shocking news that without His shelter and support we do not have it over.

On the other hand, also the support of Prabhu Lalita Madhava Das that has been a fundamental pillar to achieve little by little to confront so great news and desist a little to the firm attachment of the father, we pray always for the soul of him. I lost an earthly father and received a spiritual father.

HpS - ASA --- You have not lost him!!   You will see him again.

I have been an ungrateful daughter for not writing my report,

HpS - Traveling we have not been able to deal with our mail, but, yes, it is very nice to hear from you more often.  We will see you in Chile is a few days!

. . . but now I have more peace of mind to do it.

I give thanks to Krishna for his unlimited mercy and pour it on this humble maid, I feel blessed to have his beloved association Guru Deva.

I tell you that along with Prabhu Lalita Madhava Das we continue with the distribution of prasadam, we continue in temple restorant service and once a week we cook their lordships, Prabhu Lalita is in charge of the kitchen of his lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitay, cook the offering of raj bhoga daily and bid twice a week.

HpS - Super.  Good food and good music.

Returning to the conversation he had with Prabhu Lalita regarding the meaning of the name you gave me and at his request I publish in the blog the rectification of my name.

His eternal servant Manjulali Devi Dasi

HpS - Thank you so much for the news, and again, we don't answer the mail when we are traveling but then we see people in person. See you in a few days.   Also, we changed your name on the web page and our records. We have not been co-ordinating well with Namacharya Das and there are about four or five names to post: Eg. Loka-bandhu-rama Das, Pandaveya Prsna Das, Nitisara Das.
