HpS - ASA -- Super!   Jaya, Jagannatha! Esperando tocando la corazon de muchos!   El Alcalde!

Nos vemos 21st Junio. We will make a movie?  Gifts, photo, USB, for Peru, Santiago?

PAMHO!!

Thank you so very much of your letters.

It's sometimes a test of faith, huh, ...........Not too much spare time now, for I engaged in putting up again the 3d-printer, extruding one (watching for powder one, if it could be part of the service, seva).

Still extruder , even though in library is same kind of here, must be fixed. Queue is almost one month long. I have 3d files for very nice version of  Tesla turbine, it is something extraordinary, even though history hasn't treated this invention well, as haven't many of his inventions.

It is quite similar, in my thought, that is Victor Schauberger's implosion effect, in which he says whole nature works, not in explosion. This is still even hair raising, what Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati said about the Vedic Planetarium. 4 stories. movin............. star wars... no.. hehe.... but yes... it means antigravity (at least finally). I know some examples how technically some more hostile forces have made them. Schauberger was finally in 1935 persuaded by one such force to make the box with the fire inside, from vyaamanika shastra.

And I know how your Highness's [My Holiness, Ja, Ja!] own country has made them, not exactly but. It is 3 machines in triangular shaped, 72 meters one side, craft. The machines are mercury whirl type machines(20.000 or some times in a minute), and would cause 88% antigravity.

HpS - ASA -- We had a copy of D. N. Shukla's, "Vastu" 1 & 2, and I remember he mentioned them not so much from the technical aspect but from the social significance. The way he described it was as something like the Ferris Wheel and the 1893 Chicago World Exhibition. The King with family would sit in it and it would go round slowly in  circle and then rise into the air and then come down and everyone would watch and applaud. Then the King and the Family would go and judge the Giant Pumpkin Competition and the rest of society would try it.

Dr. Sukla's comment was in terms of Vedic India had all these things but they considered them toys. Technology was for simple living and high thinking.

The problem usually, if this all is a magnet type craft, is that it would make the time go slower in the craft and in the vicinity of it. That is the theory. But actually Tesla knew still more, for his disciple Ott made UFOs flying with gems and first electricity, but finally even with light, big big crystal and light, says his disciple Ralph Ring, who I tried to contact. With no result still.

Personally..... I guess, Maharaja. I just have to learn to remember right. Thank you so much. So very much of your patience. The green colour. I mean was the patience...     4 stories.... wow.............      everything can be arranged. That's for sure :) Maharaja :). yellow.  To warm it up, I engage us, the people, to do Tesla Turbines and Tesla valvulars with 3d-printers,,,,,valves with no moving parts.......! 

As attachments Tesla Ifo picture (Ott too with real photos, that one), with no own power source, but the source he thought would have been the towers similar to the Wardencliffe tower. But that would still have been too easily centralized power, is my still my thought, at least in present days. But what do I know about these... a little, I know about power. Only my own hate.... but Maharaja I am excited... we are excited. What functions there is Krishna ......   such a nice watch Prabhupada wears.

HpS - Two watches, no???

P.S. It is in Gremlings movie that when they eat first time they develop from those little furry Gismos to the real GREMLINGS,,  hahaha. yes. many thoughts about technology it brings. And that couldn't be but Krishna as paramaatma who gave these signs. Is what I can see from here...   Prabhupada is so great, as are his watches too :) :) :) I have sometimes difficulties to remember though that it is all Lord Caitanya's mercy, so I wanted to participate in culture making too, by a puppetry, and the play is selected to take away the bad dreams. All glories to Lord Caitanya, and Prabhupada. HK

HpS - ASA -- Thank you.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja.

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I hope your body is in good health.

HpS - ASA -- Ha!    HA!    HA R E!     This body IS a disease, but now is manageable for Sankirtan!    Thank you.  Hope yours and your families also.

I share the following concerns with you if you can give me your generous opinion,

1.-We are all told to sing 16 enthusiastic and sincere rounds. I comment this to a devotee (initiated) by encouraging her to sing his rounds, But he told me: I do not feel encouraged to sing, I have done it as an obligation but I feel that this is not right, one must sing of his own free will and not feel obligated. Before leaving, the devotee told me that he read the SBG and that he liked it better than singing japa. I did not say more to disturb him, I just asked him to try to sing 2 to 3 rounds.

HpS - Child does not like to go to school. Wants to play, but parents and teachers oblige him. NOI 7. Of course, this can be done in such a way that it is great fun, but usually some element of fear or greed is pushing us to chant our rounds in the beginning.

This made me think the following: In life many times we do things by obligation if we want something we are forced to perform an action to get it by just thinking or meditating we will not get it (unless it is krsna). Even chanting japa is part of the process of meditating on Krsna.

On the other hand, there are psychological tendencies and pedagogues that say that things should not be forced to do so but should be encouraged to do so, however in Eastern cultures (China, Japan, Korea). It is said that: Discipline precedes the intelligence and for this reason, the discipline was given much importance; Differentiated what is "your will" with "what is your duty".

ASA - Again NOI 7 says so much about this, no?   In sports it is the same thing. We force ourselves to practice believing it will become fun later.

I am not an expert in psychology but I think that many things are being confused and some are taking new trends to justify their lack of discipline, I see that there is a tendency to skip or to obviate the processes and call that spontaneous service.

I do not know what the middle term is here, would there be a psychological damage to say that the rounds are obligatory for an initiated devotee? (Also looking for ways to lift their enthusiasm).

HpS - ASA - Prabhupada says that artificial repression can be worse than the disease, but...   we don't force anybody to become initiated. That is a voluntary thing. Of course, ISKCON institution is not perfect, and there may be force in certain social or subtle ways, but seems that any sincere person can avoid that and then will be making their own choice if they want to chant 16 rounds for the rest of their life.
Even then you can stop and accept the reactions of breaking your promise. It is very clear. NOI 7 -8. So many places, Learning Piano, Tennis, natural attraction usually comes from some formal practice.

2.- At the moment I see a great increase of feminism in the society (there are also cases in Iskcon), the women have obtained many things that they consider freedom and now they want more and more, but also have arisen negative things of all this that do not want to see or to admit.

Particularly I do not like to speak of machismo or feminism, for me it is to identify me more with the body, however I have seen and I see the dangerous thing of not taking care of the "psychology" of the woman and of some way it is notorious the problems that also are being generated in ISKCON.

I think that perhaps these issues should be addressed not only at the GBC level but at the level of Spiritual Masters.

HpS - ASA -- Yes, but there is so much in the SB about this, no?   Right in the begnning we see several points about feminine mentality of Draupadi when Asvattama kills her sons. Of course, The Battle of the Sexes goes on forever, Radharani and Her friends, versus Krsna and His Friends. So, it is also very much fun and sarisfying dealing with problems in terms of properly understanding feminine and masculine needs of the person and their body.

Any items in specific about this??

Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you.

with affection

HpS - ASA --- Thank you very much!!    Hope you all can join the Seattle Conference with lots of benefit.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

ASA - Tom Brown chose this size, color and highlight!

 AGTSP ¡¡¡ PAMHO ¡¡¡¡

I am exhausted ¡¡¡ This ECPE course is at 7 am. So I have to leave home around 5:45 am .Then I have to  give classes at the university... until 9:30 pm. Moroever, on weekends I have university workshops from 8am to 12pm. That is the reason why I am joining FMP at 5 am :( and I will join Namacarya's group on Monday (TLC). I hope this is ok for U..

ASA: We have consulted with the Supreme Absolute Undiferentiated ASA Comando and they say put 16/4/Brahma-muhurta Arati, first and they will back you up with concentrated air strikes and artillery fire whenever you need them to annhilate all of your enemies. Jaya, Super-Girl!

However my course finishes next Friday :) The exam is free just for those who have taken the courses...

ASA - God! Considering what austerity you go through it shoud be!

In addition, the charge of the exam is more than S/ 400, so I will take it on December, I just have to practice, in the last simulation test I do all the reading comprehension correct, vocabulary more less, but the CLOZE part was not so good, I just have to read and read in English, Thus I will read SP's books in English in order to be ready. For instance, in one of my book readings, the vocabulary has words like paraphernalia and so on, and I was the only one accostumed to that vocabulary.

For leading FMP, new schedule: Mitravinda dd leads on Thursdays and me on Sundays .... <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Thank U for your answer to my last letter.. Yes the ladies who take therapy with me, appreaciate that I am vegetarian, sadhana, etc. They are just giving up the idea of controlling everything,  

Now I can say that it has taken  me more than 2 years to completely heal all my wounds. Now I just feel grateful not recentulness. I can see now that I am light and dark at the same time, but now I accept and appreciate both of them as well. I wish that all may feel the peace that I have nowadays. Obviously, I have to continue growing...I am doing Vinyasa yoga, gem theraphy, coaching, pujari, give BG classes once a month, but most importantly I have association with devotees ¡¡¡

Thank U Gurudeva. I have done things in this healing process that I've never imagine that I would do. I see how Krsna is revealing me His marvelous plan... I still have contaminations . For instance, yesterday I almost got mad because one of my godbrothers is criticizing me because I do gem theraphy... but then I just remembered your example about the pearl on your Japa beads...and I feel relieved. I do not feel discouraged anymore.

Carla Pflucker sends her respects, she says you will remember her surmane, jeje.

ASA - How is here baby?

Thank U for be [being] the captain of the boat for this long trip, back home back to Radha and Krsna

Trying to be useful.

HpS - ASA -- Thanks for the news. If any godbrothers criticize your actions then ask them for more!

You have many good friends. Just learn to have a proper relationship with them.

Prahlada had proper relationship with his father!

Hare Krsna, Prabhu,

AGTSP

paoho....

How are your spirits and material machine?

We are based in the Boro until 1 June then we are off to West Coast and Peru until 26th July.

We read and scanned your "A Collection...".  It was very interesting and informative but has covered so much territory that we could not get a precise handle on it to respond well.

We have kept it on our table and finally I would make this response:

Your thesis is: Why take Sannyasa when we already have the Bhagavata Dharma of Harinama.

I would respond that it is in the same line as getting married. If we are Suka-deva Goswami then we won't see naked girls when we pass the bathing Ghatta, but if we have some attachment, then Grhastha, Vanaprastha and Sannysas are excellent helps in accelerating the effects of Bhagavata Dharma. Srila Prabhupad and Srila Bh. Siddhanta followed this path. The two previous followed the Babbaji Vesa, kaupina kantha asritau, path, no?

Even if we have no attachment then Sannyasa, VAD, is still good for two reasons:

1. It is a good example for others.

2. It is just the most natural way for organizing the Sankirtan Party in the material world.

So, that is very satisfying essay for us.

Finally, think I got a clear perspective to offer you. See you soon?  Nrsmha-caturdasi??

You know this Purport, Lila, of Narada Muni and his Sannyasa? http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/6/13

Hare Krsna,

Sukadeva Dasa (Rsi-raja, no? ?),

I posted your Amazon link on our Blog: http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/7880

We certainly invite you to join our Blog and engage in this dialog their. We and our simian community will scrutinizingly respond, or you could outright join our 'Anjana Suta Academy' at www.JayaRama.US, or maybe the most practical for you, we can stay in touch on certain issues by e-mail and then, unless you specifically request us, on certain points, we can post our dialogs to our Blog as appropriate.

1. The English concept of "destiny" is the same as Karma, no?
2. Your Amazon bio-date makes  you sound like a potentially lone fanatic. Of course, actual reading our your books belies that. What about changing it so that you are mentioned as positioned amongst some other contemporary thinkers and allies?
3. In America, even into the early 60's we will find the idea that a man has his "calling in life" as a plumber or Senator. Also they would say that 'Mr. ABC has gone to his reward (died)'. George Washington went out listening the Bible, Krsna katha, as described in the historical journal, 'American Heritage'. 
4. We have an immensely popular show called, "Two Princes: Hamlet and Arjuna". There are so many parallels, Prabhupada said that we could teach Shakespeare in the Guru-kula (we heard from Hansadutta Swami). We will attach our PPTX.
5. What is our strategy? Help? We are very inclined toward the Jungian community from practical experience of their current nature and membership. This entails reading Shonu Shyamdasani's 'Introduction' to Jung's esoteric "Red Book" and then generating our Gaudiya Darsana.

We feel that you are a very busy person whose time is very valuable, but...  can you generate a proper analysis of the study heirarchy of your books and a perspective on their content? What should we read first?

Thank you,
Prabhu.
