Your servant,

Bhadra rupa das

> HPS - Thank you. Your health news is amazing. He was puncturing for any specific zones or organs?

She mentioned one of headakes were from liver and second type was suppose to be connected with back and was treating also kidney problem.

Needles were from feet till top of my head. I don't know which needles were for what, but it works :) I have seen improvements from first visits.

HpS - Super!  We do lot of self massage. That seems to help us a lot. Basically four principles etc and you can find a simple cure to most diseases. Of course, death in the simplest cure, no?

PAMHO AGTSP

The first sanga was indeed the GBC basically communicating where their strategic plan was at. And we got a lot of feedback that attendees didn't feel that first sanga met its potential. 

The second sanga got rave reviews by just about everyone who attended. 

This next one I'm helping to organize (as I did the last one), and a lot of the discussions will be around looking at the future of our Society and the direction this group of leaders wishes to see us go in. I think it will be fulfilling and lots of good association!

There's no one really "presenting" at this event. 

Ys, Vraj Vihari dasa

Hare Krsna, Prabhus,
ASA - Bhakti-sastri Workshop.

We made it to Mexico. Programs are so nice, so intense but we are integrating them with our regular ASA schedule, Wednesday evening is Bhakti-sastri workshop.

We can't join on line tonight but we have gone through the study material and are very satisfied.

Are we all learning with the perspective that we have to teach this next.

We spontaneously asked Sriman Hari-lila Das if he could join you all while we are gone and he very graciously agreed.

For him, maybe he could look at "Waves of Devotion" by Dhanurdara Swami and include some comments in the evening meeting. For Bhakti-vaibhava diploma we should maybe teach BhSastri NOD two times, no?

The www.jayarama.us/archives/tpp-nod.docx file has nice notes for this second chapter of NOD. The actual text is full of citations from other sources. For BhVai one might look these up in Bhanu Swami's ''Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu''. Especially one verse Prabhupada quotes, explains and uses: smartaya satam visnor. . .  We should memorize this for BhVai, no?

Please post messages on the Blog!!

Hare Krsna Hare Rama

dear GuruDeva... all glories to Srila Prabhupada and U!!!  ______'0__  

PAMHO

How are U????

HpS - Exhausted from this trip to Houston, but happy. Recovering. Learning how to manage my Donkey.

here we are writing again to you... 

For many years we heard a lot about people talking about weitght and that stuff... we really never care until it was our turn... jo jo jo jo

as you may know we were dealing with wieght for more than one year... talking with many specialists and doctor about our weight (we lost almost 30 kilos) and we could not get a good and convincing diagnosis... all they did was trying to push us to do things we dont want to do... we were so frustrated and worried that we almost lost control of our direction....

thanks to your advices and help we could contact our godbrother from Argentina who is doctor and practice ayurveda.... we talked with him and he finally told us what we were supposing... our doshas are unbalanced... Pitta is burning all the nutrients in the body and that does not allow us to gain weight....in addition the body as usual is using its defense organisms in the new kidneys which produce more heat... so practically we are "FIREMAN!!!!" jojojojojo

 So now we are on a diet (for almost 2 weeks)... this diet is for balancing the doshas, specially to lower pitta and rise vatta.... so basically we are eating 60% of everything bitter...dhal everyday, sweet raw fruits, vegetable juice...no dairy products... only eating at fixed times... it's gonna take some time to balance all the doshas but until now we feel much much much better...

HpS - Jaya!   Death in Krsna consciousness is of course the ultimate way to balance all the dosas, no? <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

thanks a lot for all your advices and suggestions... for helping us to keep our principles and for always being there for us....

now we are chanting 8 rounds a day... we hope we can increase them very soon...

your useless disciple

Patrak Das

HpS - It is no problem for me to consider you a more advanced devotee than we are. I guess in general we are all devotees, and have to fight both our fights alone and in the association of devotees. Achintya bheda abheda tattva.  Please send us more news.  We are fixing our schedule for Peru for June.  Chandra mukhi Devi Das should bring back a lot of news from Houston and I hope that the stuff we are doing here an online is useful for you to develop powerful Sankirtan.

Kunja-bihari Das, ki jai.

AgtSP

Agt Guru y Gauranga

Jay Radha and Krsna!

Jay Vrndavan Dham!

Jay Braja vasis!!

Jay Raktak Das!

I´m Budanath das.

My humble condolences, and congratulations.

My concern for the family, especially women and children.

ASA - If Krsna takes someone like that then He takes care of that persons family responsibilities personally!   Good deal!

In music it is demonstrated that the first LP of a music group, marks the whole course of that group of music, it is possible that it moves to one side or another, but it will always be the backbone of its race and its base in the success. I imagine it will be the Muhurta creator of that group of music. In the same way, Raktak Das, Your first disciple, with the high end he has obtained, I imagine that shows the nature of You, and of Your music, Your disciples.

HpS - We can form a herd of pigs together in our Braja in our next life?

I will pray for the glory of Your disciple Raktak Das, and I will ask him to sprinkle some mercy on me. I feel a very healthy envy.

I wish all the best to his family, I will ask Krsna for them.

I'm fine. Going through a very personal stage. I imagine my stars have been and are moving. I need time to sort my thoughts, my life, everything. My principles ok, sadhana, although it could be better.

I need peace and quiet a few days or a season to think. Pray more. Find more Radha and Krsna.

Thank you very much for everything, and again my condolences.

I will not be long in writing to you.

Jay, Raktak Das!!!

Hare Krsna!

HpS - ASA

SATAKA 16
***5 If you yearn for what is above the material and spiritual worlds, then wholeheartedly love Lord Madana-mohana. Don’t live in a crowded city. Live in Vrndavana. Offer respects to all living entities there. Never offend them.

6 In Vrndavana please worship the very wonderful splendor that has all transcendental opulence, that is an eternal ocean of ever-new wonderful, sweet, perfect handsomeness, that is wonderful with mercy, forgiveness, and other virtues, and that has a form that enchants Kama.

......Hare Krsna......
