Hare Krishna Gurumaharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

Just wanted to share with you this poem from Rumi. today while reading it, remembrance of you, your presence was perceived, as i was reading it to you.

Hope you like it.

Should everything pass away,

it couldn't happen without You [KRSNA] 🙂.

This heart of mine bears Your imprint;

it has nowhere else to turn.

The eye of intellect is drunk with You,

the wheeling galaxy is humble before You,

the ear of ecstasy is in Your hand;

nothing happens without You.

The soul is bubbling with You,

the heart imbibes You,

the intellect bellows in rapture;

nothing happens without You.

You, my grape wine [non-alcoholic] and my intoxication, 

my rose garden and my springtime,

my sleep and repose;

nothing happens without You.

You are my grandeur and glory,

you are my possessions and prosperity [one backpack etc],

you are my purest water;

nothing happens without You.

It is all Your being, Your gentle good faith or Your seemingly cruelty.

You are everything of mine;

no matter where You are going,

nothing happens without You.

[Siksastakam 8!]

They place their hearts with You,

and You break them;

they repent, You break them again.

You do all of this Yourself;

nothing happens without You.

Were something to happen without You, 

the world would be overturned. 

The Garden of Eden would turn to Hell;

nothing happens without You.

If You are a head, I'll become Your feet,

and if You are a fist, I'll become Your flag.

If You disappear, I'll turn to nothing;

nothing happens without You.

You've disturbed my sleep,

You've effaced my personality,

You've broken every attachment;

nothing happens without You.

Should You stop being my Beloved,

my affairs would be disastrous.

My Comforter, my dear Companion! 

Nothing happens without You.

Without You, life would not be delightful

nor death joyous;

how can I rebel against Your sorrow?

Nothing happens without You.

Whatever I say, O seal of judges,

all seemingly good and evil notwithstanding,

say it Yourself, by Your Grace; 

nothing happens without You.

🐵 🐵 He is interesting person. Thank you. We will look for his biodata. Maybe he is in ISKCON now???!

Read through the biography on Wikipedia.

Seems lot of things unclear about him.

We are so lucky to be sitting at the feet of Srila Prabhupada with his books and examples fresh in first hand witnesses!

Yada Yada Hi Dharmasy... Krsna comes again and again!!

Thank you!

Best wishes in your complete purity of any selfish motives!!!

Respects to [?] Aniruddha Das and the devotees.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru and Gauranga.

This is blog report for a Sunday morning ~ Srimad Bhagavatam workshop on weakly reading on Sri Caitanya Caritamrta. On coming Sunday, we will continue reading Chapter 6 ~~ The Liberation of Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya. verse 6.80 on wards. Thank you to Carlos for willing to do seva of Spanish translation for class on coming Sunday.

It is the mercy of Maharaja, to engage everyone in reading books of Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna Maharaja! Please accept my humble obeisances!

Thank you very much for the wonderful guidance. I was listening to the class this morning and all of a sudden a crazy thought came in my mind. As you had mentioned earlier, "only insane people have thoughts in their mind [head]" So, I'm sure it must be a crazy thought...

Is Mahabharata actually an allegorical story?

Dhritharashtra means someone who is holding on to the kingdom or throne.

Gandhari is considered to be the incarnation of Mati (intelligence).

The names of all the Kauravas mean some kind of devious political scheme.

So, is it an allegory of how a person who is blinded by his political ambition and who covers up his intelligence (blindfolded Gandhari) creates 100s of devious strategies (the Kauravas) to remain in power?

HpS - Krsna accomplishes many things at the same time.

The matches are certainly nice.

I take these things as useful, but look for confirmation of my hypothesis, in statements in the Sastras, as I am reading them in review.

Very nice analysis.

Srila P'pada says that Duryodhana was 'offense personified', no?

¡Hare Krsna! Querido Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

¡Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada y sus significados Bhaktivedanta!

¡Todas las Glorias a los Fieles seguidores de nuestro divino Acarya!

Querido Gurudeva, orando porque que su energía sea favorable a su Sankirtan, escribo como parte del equipo ASA Carnaval en relación a los 3 siguientes temas:

1- ASA – Enciclopedia: 

En el más reciente Kapi Dhvaja, usted preguntó si podemos trabajar en ASA-enciclopedia.

Por lo que sus sirvientes, nos permitimos reiterar nuestra disposición para hacerlo. Si usted lo desea y es posible, tal vez podríamos tener una breve reunión para aclarar algunas dudas que tenemos a este respecto.🙏

(Por supuesto, en presencia de Abhinanda Prabhu).

2- Vyasa Puja Doc:

En el dtcb28[su] https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14725/ usted escribió:

“now just couple pages of v-puja offerings that need to be opened, cut and pasted into a word file for later editing. can anyone do that? help us?”

Por favor, háganos saber si podemos colaborar de algún modo. 🤓

3- Solicitud de diapositivas PPT´s

Querido Gurudeva, nos gustaría editar algunos videos, incluyendo las diapositivas que usted ha realizado en sus más recientes presentaciones en ISKCON Houston. Para tal efecto, preguntamos humildemente, ¿Es posible que comparta con sus nosotros las siguientes presentaciones?

Hare Krishna! Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories be to Srila Prabhupada and his Bhaktivedanta Purports!

All Glories to the Faithful followers of our divine Acarya!

Dear Gurudeva, praying that his energy be favorable to his Sankirtan, I write as part of the ASA Carnaval team in relation to the following 3 topics:

1- ASA – Encyclopedia:

In the most recent 'Kapi Dhvaja', you asked if we can work on ASA-encyclopedia.

Therefore, your servants, we allow ourselves to reiterate our willingness to do so. If you wish and it is possible, perhaps we could have a brief meeting to clarify some doubts we have in this regard.🙏

(Of course, in the presence of Abhinanda Prabhu).

ASA/HpS - Yes! Usually we have short meetings after breakfast around 9.45AM, and then longer meetings between 3.45and 5.45PM.

2- Vyasa Puja Doc:

In dtc 28[su] https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14725/ you wrote:

“now just couple pages of v-puja offerings that need to be opened, cut and pasted into a word file for later editing. can anyone do that? help us?”

Please let us know if we can collaborate in any way. 🤓

HpS/ASA - Thank you. Nandulal Das did it while we worked on a package for Bh. Maite and Spain.

3- Request for PPT slides

Dear Gurudeva, we would like to edit some videos, including the slides that you have made in your most recent presentations at ISKCON Houston. To this end, we humbly ask, is it possible for you to share the following presentations with us?

A) Epiphany

B) Happy New Year – ISKCON Houston

C) Bhaktivedanta Library PPTs – (Gita jayanti, Etc)

If you wish, you can share the above to the email [email protected]

we can try to share new shows more frequently.

HpS/ASA - Thank you. We only hope that whatever we do glorifies the book "KRSNA - The Supreme P' of G'head".

Look at more Blog Posts.

Chant some Japa (Banking) and go to Rice University program.

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO

You do not need to have the app in order to watch it. Later it is going to be posted in YouTube

He asked me to bring his New cd to Houston nevertheless the cd was not ready yet by the time I arrived to Houston

His New CD is called Mahavisnu. It is really nice to witness how a devotee can do what he likes and at the same time preach.

See You in cyber space

HpS/ASA - Thank, agtSP, him and you. we have not instagram but maybe others do. we watch for youtube.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru and Gauranga.

Maharaja reminded me that I should report on a blog for Sunday morning ~ Srimad Bhagavatam workshop on weakly reading Sri Caitanya Caritamrta. On coming Sunday, we will start reading from Madhya Lila (Volume 1) ** Chapter 6 ~~ The Liberation of Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya. Last Sunday we completed reading the chapter 5 ** Activities of Saksi - Gopala. Thank you to Carlos for patiently translating nicely in Spanish language and tolerating my accent.

It is the mercy of Maharaja, to engage everyone in reading books of Srila Prabhupada.
