Por favor acepte mis Humildes reverencias a Sus pies de loto [ASA - Lobo]

Yo naci en la mas oscura ignorancia y mi Maestro espiritual me esta iluminando los ojos con antorcha del conocimiento, a El le ofrezco mis mas Humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Jay, Hare Krishna querido Gurudev. En el dia de su vyasa Puja fui invitado a conpartirlo con tres hermanos espirituales , Sudhama Sakha, Pralad Nrisimha, Y La Madre Sita, fue en la casa de ella y con toda su familia, el altar familiar mas lindo que han visto mis ojos fue el de esa casa, sin exajerar.
 

HpS - Su Mama estuvo Senorita Francia anteriorament, no?
 

Me siento descualificado para apreciarlo adecuadamente, asi que voy a glorificarlo con mis limitaciones, Resaltando algunas cualidades Como: Misericordioso, por aceptar a almas caidas como algunos de sus discipulos y elevarnos a la plataforma espiritual, cargando con nuestras actividades pecaminosas sobre Usted por que aunque tan descualifacado como somos algunos de sus discipulos ,se adapta para seguir dandonos oportunidades y nos ayuda a Crecer

Sabio:  Por hablarnos de diferentes maneras a cada uno de nosotros y nos guia en nuestro proceso y tambien predica para todo tipo de personas, mostrando su destreza para que las entidades vivientes puedan apreciar algo de Dios Krishna 

Estricto: Un sadhana ejemplar, Rondas y Estudio de las escrituas Baila para el senor Krishna extaticamente en cada mangalartik Su conocimiento y apreciacion de cada espiritualista o tradicion religiosa muestra a una persona amplia no sectaria, y sincera en su relacion con Krishna y entiende la sinceridad y la fe de otros espiritualistas, pudiendo apreciar experiencias espirituales de otros y nutriendo la apreciacion de Sus discipulos sobre los demas espiritualistas

HpS - ASA - Usted esta muy afortunado!  Pasar festivales religiosos en Nabadvip Dhama con Panca-tattva, Radha-Madhava (Asta-sakhi) en las riberas de Ganga-mayi!
No tiene que predicar mas. Su mente y corazon va a ser tan llena de ecstasis que el nectar va a salir sin abilidad reprimir! Nabadvipa dhama va a predicar Su propia glorias por sus labios.
 

Dear Gurumaharaja, Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja, congratulations with your Vyasa Puja.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to our Srila Prabhupada!

In this journey called life, on this planet called earth, where life is so profane and yet so mystical, you have been drawn to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, and became an heir to his unparallelled legacy. But it was only after you saw academic life for what it was, something to make money with. This teaches that we can only let go of our mundane dreams once we've seen their naked reality.
You visit circles where you enlighten people in your own personal way of teaching Bhagavat-dharma, by using your experiences and vast knowledge and understanding of nature in the service of our Srila Prabhupada ("It is not always necessary to come to a conclusion, sometimes all you can do is get people to open up to new perspectives," certainly is a practical perspective), while at the same time you are working hard to establish a culture and basis for teaching and learning in ISKCON.
You are not one who is famous for going around the holy places of India to speak katha and do kirtan, rather, you sacrifice that for what you see that also needs to be done, putting to good use the qualities you've received from our Lord Krishna. Your working 'behind the scenes' is a humble effort, and that is a fine ornament.
Besides this, you manage to serve your disciples in so many ways, one of which is being present daily at fixed times to chant japa and do a little program together online, another being the blog where you deal with difficulties and idiosyncrasies of your disciples and others who show interest. Next to that, you prepare a nice class for the online community through the Hawaiian yatra. Holding disciples, many of who struggle to keep a steady and meaningful devotional life while not living in ashrams anymore, and some who do even while living in ashrams, is certainly above comprehension for one who's never took up such a duty. The spiritual subtleties of Guru-tattva are at work here, and we are learning along with you.
Just as learning to build a meaningful relationship from a distance. After initiation, the rest of life is there to learn how to balance duties. There are so many little practical pieces of wisdom that i am learning to implement in my life. Themes that hang around for a while, and then get replaced by new ones, in the hope that the old ones are implemented deeply enough.

I do not consider myself a high class disciple. Factually, i didn't even fulfill my vows 100% this year around. In spirit, i am quite dedicated, but it's that life is so overwhelming. My duties seem to become bigger the more i become more awakened and purified, and my ability to deal with them seems to be getting smaller. Waves of guilt wash over me, and i struggle to accept any honest attempts as 'good enough'. Are they really 'good enough?' I'm still terribly inclined to have things my way, and i attempt to change circumstances and others rather than changing myself. I'm just starting to wake up Gurumaharaja, and it is crazy and heavy. Life is heavy. Guru is heavier. Get up early and get your rounds done. Such a teaching. Such a savior.
When o when will be the day that i will call out the names of Gauranga!, Nityananda!, while walking along the banks of the Yamuna, completely intoxicated by love of Godhead, not caring about physical needs?
Thank you for picking me up, Gurudeva. May Lord Nityananda take you by the hand and deliver you at the lotusfeet of Lord Gauranga. And may we, disciples of yours, be allowed to serve you forever on, serving Srila Prabhupada and the previous Acarya's, who are all manjari's and other close associates of the Divine Couple. And may we be allowed to see and understand that, while we are in these embarrassingly limited bodies of ours.

Your servant,
Raghava Pandita dasa

ASA - AGTSP!!!  paoho.  Thank you for your thoughtful words.

"Rāghava Pandita brought with him various kinds of food for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. The food had been cooked by his sister, Damayantī, who then packed it in bags (jhāli). Thus the stock of food was generally known as rāghavera jhāli, "the bags of Rāghava." "

Food for thought! <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" />

I think you are on the right path and there is nothing to do other than mature youre effort. It is not that you should do something very different or even more. It is just that you should do what you are doing with more concentration, let it become deeper and give you more strength them to go even deeper.

We try to use what we have!!!  Thank you. Think whatever good qualities you see in us is mercy of Srila Prabhupada and you.

En este día de su glorioso Sri Vyasapuja por favor permitame glorificarlo aunque no tengo las palabras adecuadas para expresar todo lo que usted representa en mi vida, usted es el tesoro más grande, lo más valioso!!! 

Con su ejemplo personal nos enseña como servir al M.E. en Vani, usted es el héroe  pues domina a la poderosa mente que es como un océano de condicionadas olas que van y vienen cargadas de conflictos e incertidumbres.

Usted es poderoso en sus austeridades, puede ayudar a tantas almas caídas como esta torpe sirvienta, infinitas gracias querido Gurudev por permitirme continuar en el servicio a Srila Prabhupada!!! con la distribución de los libros.

Usted es la inspiración inagotables como el fluir de las aguas cristalinas de un río que nos lleva al océano de amor por Dios!!!

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I want to thank you on this most auspicious day of your Vyasapuja for giving me shelter and all the inspiration. 

You are known as to be super humble sannyasi, who is friendly to all.

When I first met you in Radhadesh, you just came back from Vrindavan parikrama, I was going down from stairs and when I have seen you, first think which came to my mind is that there is some 'strange' sannyasi. Then on Gaura-arati you were dancing very ectassically and it came to my mind that there is somebody more crazy then me. Following day on mangala-arati that idea got even stronger. 

But when Srimad Bhagavatam class given by you started, I realized there is somebody much more intelligent than me, that I see genius, who is inside of the Srimad Bhagavatam as the programmer lives inside of the program which he is coding. You were giving short summary of whole Bhagavatam, describing various connections between different cantos.

By your huge mercy, you gave me shelter, and I can thus try, although very imperfectly, to follow you.

You are extremely very kind, always inspiring everybody and same time you are giving perfect example how to be a sannyasi and preacher.

Recently I had a dream with you, where you were interchanging with Srila Prabhupada. One moment it was you and another it was Srila Prabhupada. Now when I think about that, I remember when Srila Prabhupada described the real Guru as somebody who is repeating what his Guru said.

I am very happy and fortunate that I could meet you and that I can try to serve under you.

Thank you for everything. And please bless me so I can make you happy by my attempts to preach.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha Das

HpS - Thank you so much for this Blog, your very great help and friendship while we were in Mayapura, for being a very nice devotee of Krsna. You have some challenges in your spiritual life, no? I do also. You have to solve them with the nature and tools you have. I have to use my nature and my tools.

One person is BOLD and BRAVE.

Another is shy and s-t-e-a-d-y. They can both accomplish their missions for Srila Prabhupada. I have two questions:

1) How is you family?
2) How long it take you to buy Audi?

 Respected Maharaja:

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Nrsimhadeva.

On your most auspicious Vyasapuja day, it is very heart warming to think of your grace and greatness.

    HpS - AGTSP!  Paoho. It is very kind of you to see much of any worth in us.

This last year has been quite stressful in Boise. The year before we were served with condemnation notice on the land next to the temple by the University- A great example of - Samsara Davanala lidha loka; out of the blue (sky) came this notice that we should hand over the land to the University. As we struggled finding a lawyer etc. you called us in your caring mood wanting to know how are things in Boise. And I recounted to you what was happening and wanted to know why Bankebihari was doing this to us. You listened very patiently and jovially said, Oh, Bankebihari is playing Monopoly. Everything will be alright.

At that time, it did  not appear to me that you realized the severity of the situation and you were just making light of the situation. But over time that was exactly what Bankebihari was doing. You as one of His confidential servants knew that.

   HpS - I think that I was just trying to offer some positive attitude to see things. Not any secret knowledge, but how could He not do well for those who sacrifice so much for Him and of course He is a GREAT joker!

It was just that I was having a hard time believing it - Why would He play Monopoly at the expense of a neophyte devotee's peace of mind?

HpS - Maybe because He does not want a "piece" of your mind, but He wants the whole thing. Krsna was stealing peoples yogurt. He's stealing your dirt.

Over the course of time you would call just when I would be totally confused and depressed, to comfort me. Those calls were very soothing - tranaya  karunya ghana ghanatvam...

In the dry desert of Southwest Idaho, you have literally been bringing the clouds of mercy and  I am very thankful to you and feel very fortunate for the constant care you have taken care of us.

Maharaja, please bless us on this auspicious Vyasa Puja day of your that we continue to take shelter of exalted Vaishnavas like yourself and get a few drops of mercy from  you.

Your insignificant servant,

Anantarupa das

Boise, Idaho, USA

HpS - ASA --- We can only hope, hope, hope that Boise has a happy, harmonius development, well inegrated with biggest persepectives of the State, Community and Cosmos. See you about Janmastami. Please call us with the news!!  Thank you for the Skype darsana today.
