Todas las glorias a Sri Sri Goura Nitay

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Srila gurudeva, por favor acepta mis humildes reverencias a todo su ser, comenzando por tus divinos pies tan puros y bellos como un loto.

HpS - ASA ---- Ha!   Ha!.....  Ha.....   ha.... carta de un devoto loco.  estamos medio loco, pero al menos lo conocemos.

Es mi buena fortuna la que me ha hecho hallarte, es una suerte que te haya encontrado a ti, que me puedes enseñar claramente el real secreto acerca del dolor y de la felicidad y como superar el estar afectado por ambos.

HpS - ASA -- We are mostly mailmen for Srila Prabhupada.

Pero aun así mi ego y mi ser indisciplinado hacen que tus palabras no logren ingresar en lo profundo de mi ser, es decir, aun no puedo comprenderte. Ellas, tus palabras, debían en realidad impregnarme, pero no logran hacerlo. Por favor ten piedad de mi y de mi ignorancia. Enséñame como puedo llegar  al Señor, por favor, ten compasión de mi. Gurudeva, te necesito tanto...

HpS - If our words don't enter then how can we instruct you??? Take a vow to chant a fixed number of rounds daily with attention for two weeks. Can you do that???????  That will definitely advance you!!   AGTSP!!

Me siento muy acongojado por la salud de mi esposa, ella sufre intensos dolores todo el tiempo debido al cáncer, pero ella tiene una gran fe en ti, por favor,  ruego al Señor Krsna para que usted le de algunas palabras de consuelo, Amparo sabe que lo que usted dice es absolutamente  perfecto.

Amparo hará todo lo que usted le diga...

Praying always for your mercy, your fallen servant amalakarunadas

HpS - ASA --- The path is very, very clear. Harer nama, Harer nama, Harer nama eva kevalau. . .    Chant, chant, chant. Then Krsna will give you intellingence how to advance more.

The actions and reactions are created by material nature, but the the happiness and distress are created by us. Sex is very painful but we look forward to release from the pain, so we take it as pleasure. Hunger is very painful, but we enjoy fasting so we can eat a good feast.

Surrender to Krsna's arrangement, cancer, suffocation, assault by wild street dogs, and have a good laugh playing with Him

Maybe our much respected Amparo was a great ISKCON Sannyasi in her last life and she had a little Karma to finish off so she has done that and now there is no longer and reason to stay her!!

Our respects to everyone. Best wishes for your Sankirtan.

Dear Guru Maharaj

PAMHO,   All glories to Srila Prabhupada !

It brought a tear to my eye to see tears well up in your eyes when you were talking about Srila Prabhupada.  All of the devotees I spoke to were deeply moved by the affection you have for your Spiritual Master.  It is a sentiment I share for you as my Spiritual Master.  I know you do not want adulation so I will simply say that all of the devotees are already looking forward to your next visit to Sacramento.  Thank you for the mercy I received from you.  All devotees are inspired and strengthened by personally observing a great devotee of Krishna.  We are fortunate to have many sincere devotees here who set a good example for me to follow.

HpS - ASA -  Hare Krsna, a pong for your ping, I have always been very inspired over the years by your gravity, honesty, compassion and practical knowledge.

Thank you for politely listening to me prattle on about useless trivia.  You are most gracious.  I was trying to apprise you of current affairs that you ordinarily do not pay attention to.  But ultimately, none of it will help anyone get back to Krishna.

HpS - Well we don't have to get back to Krsna if we can serve him right here. Prabhupada was very much in tune with current affairs, but the essence, no?

It is my understanding that Lord Caitanya did not say he is an incarnation of Krishna.  I do not question that He is an incarnation of Krishna, but how do we know that He is?

HpS - Usually the first test that Prabhupada, our previous saints, the scriptures give is that an incarnation must be mentioned in the scriptures. This is very nice discussion on that point: http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/11/5/32.
Then, He performs actions that no ordinary person can do. In general, we can understand that He is God because He shows Himself to us, maybe just enough to lead us one step in the right direction, no?

Your, striving to be humble, servant,  David

Hari Bolo, Hari Bolo...

​Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Goura y Gouranga Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupad Gurudeva por favor acepte mis Humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto...

GURUDEVA cantando 24 rondas y cumpliendo principios, estoy ahorita pasando momentos muy difíciles,

HpS - ASA ---  Nosotros tambien!

Maharaja tratando de no cuestionar nada,

ASA - BG 4.34, Significado - Que dice Prabhupada en terminos de "Fe Ciego"?

...tomando cada cosa que pasa como viene de la mejor manera y pensando que KRISHNA sabe el porque de todo ,que hay un propósito ,Gurudeva el dia de hoy tras hacer unos exámenes me diagnosticaron cáncer al esófago,lo primero que pensé es porque? luego di vueltas sin saber como reaccionar y llore estoy sin reaccionar aun ,cante rondas para encontrar respuestas y no hay respuesta alguna solo WOOwww mucha confusión.

ASA - Pasa mucho conmigo. La respuesta era, "su preocupacion y pregunta no es importante". Yo tengo arthritis mas y mas en los manos. Aparece va a ser un aspecto de vida mas y mas fuerte estoy moriendo de viejez, peridendo la vision, oido, memoria, de hecho. Pero eso es bueno. De un enferimidad o otrod Krsna es educadonos, "Eso no es su hogar!!!!!".

O.K?  Si va a morir esta ano, Jai!   Indra era feliz a matar a Vrtasura pero mientras estuve moriendo Vrtrasura estuvo sonriendo (laughing), "Ja, Ja, Ja, Indra, Vd piensa que Vd es el ganador, pero yo voy a dejar esta cuerpo horrible y ir a Vaikuntha y Vd va a quedar en esta mundo material. Quien es el ganador, Indra?  Ja!  Ja!  Ja!"

​MAHARAJA pido a usted unas palabras ,una guía para saber que hacer ,no dejarme engañar ni caer en ilusion,SE QUE MI CUERPO ESTA ENFERMO YO NO,pero a veces olvido eso y sufro como cuerpo,con todo esto mi único deseo es hacer una vida espiritual intensa,buscando que avanzar cada dia un poquito más y entender el propósito de krshna.

​GURUDEVA gracias por siempre estar ahy ,por contestarme siempre con las palabras exactas ,esas que me sacuden y me devuelven al camino correcto sin lamentaciones como lo hizo en mi carta anterior.

​Usted para mi es mi padre ,mi madre ,mi guia,espero ansiosa su llegada a Peru ....alguien que espera poder servirlo y aspira ser su sirviente

ASA - www.translate.google.com  -   Basically you are in the same situation as me or many others. You are conscious of the fact that death may be very near. This is good. Others think that life will continue forever. Like many others you have to take advantage of this good position to increase your Krsna consciousness, Krsna bhavan amrta.

Basically chant 16-enthusiastic rounds and follow the 4-principles strictly. Of course that means you have to get up early and have a good morning program, mangala arati, kirtan, japa, SB, Prasadam, and then your position in the Sankirtan movement will be clear and that is the best way to get the mercy that Gaura Nitai are TRYING to send.

Write to the Blog with news and questions.

Hope you go to Goloka soon. Krsna is so unhappy to be without us.

¡Hare Krsna Maharaja! AgtSP.

I wish your health is good and don’t give to you problems.

Please, I want to ask some questions, but I see that here spoken generally about devotion, and I don’t know if to do mystical questions is correct. I think that mysticism is necessary when our heart don’t fell de devotion…like the science for the thinks that we don’t understand of the spirituality??? I´m in that situation a lot of times. I believe in God yet I don’t understand. I think about his omnipotence, omnipresence, and his powers, the gods, her potency reflection? And think that if we are not the body, her material powers work for us because Supreme God want, then we have a personal relationship with God directly or indirectly dependent of our capacity of see the powers or God in ours and in others…..is ok???

HpS - Jaya!  Vraja-mandala Parikrama, Ki Jai!   Yes, Krsna is everywhere directly or indirectly, but the more we can see Him directly then easier it becomes to see Him indirectly. If I have a personal talk with the artist, then I can really see his choices in the way he painted something.

Then, our reality is illusion if we don’t have one connection with the source of life…less if we have with the separates reflection of God in the material potencies, the gods, or any illusion if we have one personal relation with the master of the theaters …is ok??? My question is that, then, can we speak with God in the persons, or the gods, without the person in the body feel our relation with God or the potencies?

ASA - If we understand your question, yes. Duryodhana was trying to cause problems for Krsna, but he was actually engaged in his service. An enlightened person like Narada Muni or Vyasadeva might be able to see how Krsna was using someone as an instrument although the person did not know it.

When I try to see my days like that, I only see illusion, not real reality, I feel like one prisoner in one holographic world, where the deviated souls, ours, only live the film in one energetic platform, like the dreams, and we are waiting for the wake up, conscious that that vision make to us wake up when the false dead come to ask us about if we want wake up or not……are all that thinks corrects?

ASA - Again it is pretty esoteric, so it is hard for us to say precisely, Yes or No, but in general it seems pretty correct, and knowing you for a long time I would say that your existence on the yoga level is rather real, BUT it is usually contaminated with our own projections, desires, so the real thing is how it is taking us to Bhakti. Which in the befinning is Sadhana bhakti as disctated by an acharya like srila Prabhupada.

"Bahunam janmnam ante... " BG 7.19    .   Read the purport!!

For me are important that thinks because make me think about my ideas of life….HOW MAY I SPEAK WITH GOD DIRECTLY, IN PERSON, EVERY TIME, IN EVERY PERSON, IN EVERY THING, if not, what about my dream test, my real vision out of the corporal relations of man and women, with senses and wants, with material and spiritual….. If we are soooo fools, sooo poor of knowledge, of spiritual vision, if God save us, if we try to pray for our salvation of that false world…..is the way of devotion???...i am sooo fool, please, help me, save me, I can´t see You in any place, in any person….Can God, the Supreme God, pay our bill in the time of the dream test??? Like always, thanks you very much for all, I remember you soooo many times every day. Always trying to learnt more and more thanks of yours lessons. Your fool follower and friend, Pablo Parikrama. HARE KRSNA.

HpS - ASA - - - Write some poems in English.  Little ones.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, We all are in Yatra and you are much much more ahead
    and you have left/put marks on the path so that we also reach to the destination by following
    those marks.

    Your every comments on letters are very precious for us, while, i have just collected 180 as of, from
    your letters. All are very very precious for me. I am just sharing your 10 comments below:

    1. Our beads are our worshipable Deity.

ASA - Bead bag like a Temple!

    2. Every moment is dying and nothing more. So, can we do it for Krsna? For His applause with His friends.
    3. Living in this material world is like driving Krsna to a party with Him in the front seat next to you
       in the rain. You have to be a little careful because of the rain and other drivers, but it doesn't require
       all your intelligence. Most of your attention is on the converstation that Krsna is having with Sridham.
    4. You are a loser. You have done nothing for anybody. You have nothing to show for your life!
    5. Whatever Krsna wants, that is our service. Whatever the Gopis, Srila Prabhupada want for Krsna, that is our service, eternally.
    6. Krsna doesn't waste anyone's austerities.
    7. Dukalayam asasvatam.  A place that Krsna guarantees will not work! We can never be happy here. We are perfectionists!
    8. If you want a nice husband, nice car, nice house, nice partys, nice friends, nice babies, then.... you are in the right place.
    9. Biggest way to dump the false ego is to help devotees, Karmis, do their service.
   10. Bad Japa is spiritual death.

   Your comments are like instructions or indications for us to atten our goal of life and you always live with me through your marks,
   instructions, indications and sayings.

   Thank you, Guru Dev for continous enlightening for truth.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA --- We have to write letter for your second initiation. It is in our list!!!!     I hope we can hear at 9PM the things we say at 3AM.    The mode of ignorance and the mode of passion.
