Poem

8 years, 2 months ago by Mishra Bhagavan Dasa in Special Category A

The threefold miseries are not fun

I fought the mind and the mind won

Working hard in the hot sun

I fought the mind and the mind won

The best Krishna seva I ever had

We ate pakoras cooked in ghee

Giving up that sanga, I must have been mad

Now what can be said about me

I fought the mind and the mind won

I fought the mind and the mind won

Back to the fight!!!!

Vyasa Puja Offering - Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

8 years, 2 months ago by Gopal C Biswas in Special Category A

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.
    
    All glories to you on the auspicious occasion of Vyasa Puja.

    You live as your realize for Krsna. Never seen you, without Krsna. You always obliged to Krsna
    for everything on your way. You accept Krsna in everything. You appreciate Krsna in everything.
    whether he makes you without food for many days.
    
    You are always in Vrndavana, serving, playing with Krsna and the cowherd boys in the deep
    beautiful forest....serving, teasing boys, chasing Krsna, calling Krsna. You feel Krsna in your
    heart....giving everything to Krsna.

    You float with two stream, one - always in Krsna. Second, you come down to enlighten us for Krsna.
    Very perfect balance, like - Parsurama, you personally very deep in spiritual level for Krsna and
    for other, perform duty by cultivating, for Krsna. Your stage is so high that material things do
    not affect your spiritual level. You float with both the level frequently and easily. You are perfect
    balance of both the level. This shows you are at very high level of Satva.

    When you are in very deep level, you don't want to continue with this material world and
    want to...back to be with Krsna and cowherd boys in the beautiful forest, near the river.

    You are always pass in Krsna's plan, even though he makes you to do a big battle of Kurukestra.

    You as example allows us no excuse for weakness. On the occasion of Vyasa Puja, we beg for the
    strength to become steady in sadhana and service. We are not able to do it without your blessings.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA - Well, your glorifications apply mostly to Srila Prabhupada. We seem to get some taste sometime, but not always in Goloka internally!!     Thank you for your association and example. It gives us impetus.  Aren't we very fortunate to get Srila Prabhupada's association!!!!

AGTSP !!

Please accept our humble obeisances

Dear Maharaja

It's that time of the year when we realize how much you signify and mean to us, how much we've being walking the long way home following your marks in the forest, traces, memories, inspiration, how mamy times we've been lost but found in a whisper coming through you from Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - ASA -  Yeah!   That's thing.   Coming through us FROM PRABHUPADA... and we are messing up the message to some degree, so always good to have other connections also.

 How things unsaid and beyond prakriti between us are as real as the temple walls I've walked by throrugh the years.  In this time of the year we wish we could make visible in a verse the dept and the impact your siksa and association has had in us.  Today my offering is my stead fast commitment to never give up no matter how though the circumstances are or will be.

ASA - Oink!!!  Undeviating, like a boar with his nose in the ground!

And here we are  once more knocking on your door like beggars.  We have a bramachari friend who is doing tremendous preaching in Canada and Cuba and he needs preaching, educational tools in spanish language. If you so kindly could point the way on where or how to get them so we can serve and improve this preaching program in Cuba then our service to Srila Prabhupada's mission could improve much.  

Dandavats dear Maharaja 

forever at your serice

Raul GC   

PS   we may be travelling to Vrindavana, Mathura, Naimisaranya, Kuruksetra this year.  

HpS - ASA -  Wow!  India trip.  Why not check at Krsna.com for resources. If they don't list them on line then contact their Contact adddresses!!!    AgtSP!!!!!

VYASA PUJA OFFERING

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet

Another year here we are trying to glorify U ¡¡

Each year I discover new things in the developing of our relationship Guru – Disciple

Besides your humility, intelligence, renunciation, etc

I have realized that one of the most relevants thing that I admire U is that even if U are an already liberated soul, at the same time U are very human very real ¡¡¡ It comes to my memory when U mention Partha Sarati in your classes that he said that he had the compromise that every single mom must have their sons tonight after the fight ¡¡¡ and as  soon as u said that your eyes started to become full of tears ¡¡¡

HpS - Who wouldn't.  War is terrible, no?

Last year when U were giving initiation to Syamakunda and U remember his father, the situation became too emotional . I was not there but later I got the video ¡¡ It was really amazing ¡¡¡ The way You remember your friend.

I can cite more examples but I do not want to make U uncomfortable.

The only thing that I want to convey is that I admire the way U are your determination, the purity of your soul , a child’s soul. It came to my memory also when U commented in one class that one Maharaja in India told U: “Hanuman Swami U did not grow up ? did you?,” U are like peter pan ¡¡

Radharani refuses to grow ¡

Radharani refuses to know ¡

U are always fresh, happy, pure, and that is why U follow faithfully what your very dear Gurumaharaja asks, your beloved and respected Srila Prabhupada ¡¡¡

You are transparent, authentic, u taught me to continue no matter happens, I have to confess that last year many times I wanted to drift apart ISKCON, but each time I tried, I remember U, your words, classes, gifts and I just couldn’t because honestly I just can not imagine my life without HH Hanumatpresaka Swami on it ¡¡¡¡

I am happy and sad at the same time, because even  though I write in all my letters BELOVED GM, if u were really beloved to me I wouldn’t have failed U the way I did many times ¡¡¡ So

My only desire is next year have the fortune to be in front of You and tell U I love U Beloved Gurudeva

Trying always to be iur disciple again

HpS - Your dog will always love you also (if you feed him). AGTSP!

Amual report from vraj

All glories to Rai and kanai

All glories to Srila prabhupada

All glories to you Pamho Dear gm.

Sorry that I don't write ofthen,

ASA - You are like Clint Eastwood also, you don't talk much, but when you talk, your paint brush talks for you.  -[;o)

I try my best to get in fmp with my bad internet. This year was very good full on changes, thanks for your guidance we are following the 4 principles , japa but not much into the temple .....so much work to do, and the crowd its hard for us to deal means we have to develop more tolerance:) we go to other temple and parikram.

HpS - ASA --- Its a fact. It is nice during the afternoon when the Temple is closed to outside people, then at 4.30PM

By the time we are working in cow projects to protect the and regular basis (food and medicines). It's amazing how wonderful and mistreated they are of course in the streets. Also we joined the sublime foundation (its a NGO that is focused in to green transition and selsuficiency working together with Bliss in iskcon ) so if radharani allow us we will start preaching soon in a small level to create awareness about the situation in imfia.

And give easy and useful solution we are invited for ELS meetings its only one week. I want to ask you so may things but I will. ask when you come :0). By the way we spoke with prasanta mataji about any seminar that you could give so we need dates to arrange the programs, everything according to what you prefer to teach. I'm been lit bit sad because I'm leaving soon so I'm trying to keep my mind full busy even if I know I will take vraj with me.

HpS - Afects a lot!  Hmmm.  It can make you go mad.  Better to never leave Braja, just go disappear in the forest and die of exposure, than leave Braja, but....  if you don't go out, how will other people learn of the wonderful land of Vrndavan???  As long as you have any little thought of Braja while traveling outside, the Gopis can keep you on the remote control and you will be connected with Braja.

It's affects a lot, so I'm learning acupressure and biomagnetism to help other. It's not easy so much to study and I have memory deficiency. Please take care I heard your health its not good so I will try to look afther you from far maybe some reiki will be good if you allow me Ys Vraja bhandar Rcd

HpS - ASA - We are posting the details here in the Blog, but we arrive in Delhi roughly the 18th night and leave for Kolkatta the 21st morning. So I guess we will stay in Delhi or maybe squeeze in a trip to Vraja.

Later, the, 25th - 29th we will be in Braja!

Reunión de chicas

8 years, 2 months ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Special Category A

Por favor acepte mis reverencias !
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada ! 

Constantemente nos piden consejos, opiniones sobre algunos temas de matajis,  así que iniciamos un proyecto inspiradas en la gran cantidad de consejos que Ud. publica en el blog. 

Reunión de chicas ASA Méx: 

Este fin de año realizamos  una primera reunión de discípulas y aspirantes. Transcurrió con lectura de cartas del blog sobre: 
*Comportamiento  de las matajis con el sexo opuesto.
*Standar dentro y fuera del matrimonio para las interesadas en este ashram. 

Debemos decir que fue muy exitoso, el 70 % de discípulas y aspirantes del DF. asistieron  con otras amigas. 
Hubo lectura, preguntas, opiniones, experiencias muy sinceras con grandes enseñanzas. 
También compartimos buen prasadam de chicas con palomitas de maíz sin aceite, semillas tostadas, frutas con crema, guayabas rellenas, y un buen ponche de frutas.
Algunas breves Conclusiones:
- SS. Ha dado un buen consejo de cuanta distancia debemos tomar cuando hablamos con los devotos (2 brazos de distancia de preferencia) 

HpS - Interesante. Pienso el estandard en Tailandia, donde hay miles de monjes, es - si la dama y el monje ambos levantan sus brazos el mismo tiempo no toca un o otro. Dos brazos!

- Nos aconseja no susurrar cuando hablamos y evitar pláticas innecesarias en lugares privados con el sexo opuesto. Siguiendo estas indicaciones evitaremos malos entendidos.
- Un año después de haberte iniciado puedes descubrir si deseas o no casarte. Antes es mejor vivir intensamente la vida espiritual sin distracciones. También hay excepciones al  observar este consejo, hay casos diferentes, pero si quieres ser inmensamente feliz mejor vive en el ashram o acampa regularmente allí para trabajar  en  una buena base espiritual. 
-Chicas que están casadas o quieren hacerlo, se han escuchado muchos consejos sobre el sexo regulado en el grhasta ashram, pero nuestro Gurudeva, SS. Hanumatpresaka Swami dice que tenemos que seguir estrictamente los 4 principios incluyendo el cuarto. 
- sadhana, 16 buenas rondas, lectura y estar ocupados en servicio practico es el éxito en cualquier ashram.
- Dudas y más detalles del Grhasta ashram  podemos acudir a consejeros de estas áreas. 

Gurudeva, quedamos atentos a cualquier observación, correcciones y Sus sabías obstrucciones. 
Disculpe las ofensas por favor. 
Su eterna aspirante a sirviente :
Asta Sakhi dd. 

HpS - ASA --- Necesitamos "Ashrama Gurus". B'cari Ashrama, Grhasta Ashrama, Sannyasa Ashrama. Yo no puedo funciona muy bien como Ashrama Guru. Entonces busca unas buenas devotas para guir en la Ashrama!
