[10/19/2023 8:23 PM] Trivikrama Das:

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I was not able to attend Tuesday’s NoI session. I had to help our neighbor’s daughter with her college essays. I will watch the recording.

I have throat pain since Monday. It is not getting better. I am hoping it’ll be better in the next few days. Everyone here near the temple has been going through the same symptoms.

HH Hrdayananda Maharaja was here in Dallas. We met him and gave him a copy of TPP. He very fondly remembered you as his old friend 😲

[10/20/2023 10:38 AM] ASA-TB/BW:

Ayurvedic doctor said: Throat pain means acceptance ie. There is something that you can't swallow??? 🤔

Thank you so much for passing the TPP to him. We hope it finds its place in ISKCON Education.

Thank you for the news!

[10/20/2023 10:43 AM] TVKDas: I have never thought of it that way.. We are not sure what we are not able to swallow.. I am usually able to get over things.

[10/20/2023 10:46 AM] ASA-Ape/Pig: Now is time to "get over this material existence"? 🙂

TVKDas: Yes Guru Maharaja 🙂 I am at a point where I can clearly realize the Dhukalayam and Asasvatam aspects that Krishna mentions. But we are still no where close to sustained spontaneous devotional service. At times I am spontaneous about my service but most of the time, I have to force my mind to do things. Especially in situations like now, where the body is weak and only wants to rest... I have to force myself to chant!

ASA-M/P: Yes, but the little man, the homunculous, under all the garments likes to chant. Disease is an opportunity to chant from the soul. NoI 7 in the beginning, but quickly becomes NoI 8! Don't miss this opportunity! Disease doesn't come everyday!

"Hola, Maestro!! Alejandro mentioned that you've found the appropriate land for your community. Congratulations!! Are you considering a space for a Content Creation Department? It should include editorial printing, audio podcast, photography/film/video production."

HpS - ASA: No, no, n o! There is only little interest in the project here. 😕 Some preliminary investigation was done, but no one thinks it too important yet. We keep adding what we can to the equation. Will pass your comment along! I agree, but I don't have a family to feed etc. 🙂

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru maharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances. (PAOHO)

As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

Hare Krishna!!! I hope You are doing ok. Thanks a lof for your words in the bulletin. They give us a lot of strength.

I just came from Huancaya some hours ago. It was a very interesting trip. Many strange things happened. My only conclusion is that Krsna controls everything for good.

Despite everything, we can still maintain a decent sadhana.

My aunt is in very serious health, she will probably leave her body between today and tomorrow.

Thank you so much.

ASA - We think that some people read it besides you and me. 😆 Hope it inspires comments, questions or complaints in the Blog!

HpS - Send her picture ASAP!!

En nuestra carta más reciente usted dijo: “Por favor envía también algunas noticias de tu Yatra, México, amigos, competidores, etc”

Respuesta:

En este lugar de ISKCON, las cosas parecen estables. Aun en medio de un lago de rencillas administrativas y entre devotos, el ISKCON de Srila Prabhupada se mantiene firme y en desarrollo como una flor de loto. Es debido a la misericordia sin causa de Srila Prabhupada, que los devotos, desde sus propias posiciones están luchando por mantener el entusiasmo y continuar en la misión. Observamos que, durante la celebración de los festivales, todos los grupos trabajan de forma armoniosa, es posible que haya un poco de competencia por complacer al Señor, pero aun así, cada uno toma la posición donde es más hábil, felizmente ejecuta su labor y ¡todos brillan como si se tratara de joyas engarzadas en uno de los anillos de los Pies de loto de nuestro Señor!

“Amigos”- Por su misericordia sin causa, luego de su visita a México he recuperado la amistad con varios devotos, entre ellos, algunos de sus agradables discípulos y estamos intentando apoyarnos en diferentes proyectos. (Espero pronto estar en posibilidad de comunicarle los esfuerzos de todos ellos).

Medité mucho en el concepto de “competidores”, pero para donde quiera que miré solo encontré devotos intentando contribuir en la misión de Srila Prabhupada, así que me sentí incapaz de verlos como competencia, me pareció identificarlos más como “compañeros de lucha”... Sin perjuicio de lo anterior, debo decir que también he aprendido a mantener cierta distancia de algunos devotos pues, aunque de corazón aprecio y admiro su servicio y a ellos mismos, no comparto algunas de sus prácticas o ellos las mías 😊

Desde mi perspectiva ¡ISKCON es enorme! y hay ocupación para todos, por lo que no hay necesidad de competir entre nosotros por un lugar, pues por la misericordia de Guru, siempre habrá algo que hacer. Por mi parte solo aspiro poder ser útil de algún modo, bajo su misericordiosa guía.

Muchas gracias Gurudeva

In our most recent letter you said: “Please also send some news about your Yatra, Mexico, friends, competitors, etc.”

Answer:

In this ISKCON place, things seem stable. Even in the midst of a lake of administrative and devotee squabbles, Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON remains firm and developing like a lotus flower. It is because of Srila Prabhupada's causeless mercy that devotees, from their own positions, are struggling to maintain enthusiasm and continue in the mission.

We observe that, during the celebration of the festivals, all the groups work harmoniously, there may be a little competition to please the Lord, but even so, each one takes the position where he is most skillful, happily executes his work and They all shine as if they were jewels set in one of the rings of the Lotus Feet of our Lord!

“Friends” - Through his causeless mercy, after his visit to Mexico I have regained friendship with several devotees, among them, some of his pleasant disciples and we are trying to support each other in different projects. (I hope to soon be able to communicate the efforts of all of them to you).

I meditated a lot on the concept of “competitors”, but everywhere I looked I only found devotees trying to contribute to Srila Prabhupada's mission, so I felt unable to see them as competition, I seemed to identify them more as “fellow fighters”. Without prejudice to the above, I must say that I have also learned to keep a certain distance from some devotees because, although I wholeheartedly appreciate and admire their service and themselves, I do not share some of their practices or they share mine 😊

HpS - Hmmm. Candravali and Radharani are "competitors"? They regulate Their distances? Hmm.

From my perspective ISKCON is huge! and there is occupation for everyone, so there is no need to compete among ourselves for a place, for by the mercy of Guru, there will always be something to do. For my part, I only hope to be useful in some way, under his merciful guidance.

HpS - We have same realization. ISKCON is no longer and institution, it is now a movement, like Democracy or Surrealism. Even the institution is very big, like the USA or Mexico. We must try to be a part of the big picture, but we must also be part of local team.

Also, we realize, we are constitutionally unique. We have been created unique. No one can do what we do, and not even KRSNA realizes our full potential. We have to discover more and more our potentional for service.

Thank you very much Gurudeva

Your would-be servant

Karuna-Sakti Devi Dasi

HpS - Thank you. go ahead. Develop a great Sankirtan.

🙇

Hare Krisna,

Dandavat Pranam,

I am performing Bhagavata Path in our Mandir on every Sunday we three members by rotation. Today is the last day of Priti Tarpan and I will narrate about Priti Tarpan.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS/ASA - AgtSP.... paoho.... What is Priti Tarpan? Good food?

¡Hare Krsna! Querido Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis sinceras reverencias

¡Todas las Glorias sean a nuestro muy misericordioso Fundador Acarya AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada y todas las Glorias a su Trascendental legado!

Gracias por enseñarnos como continuar empeñados en servicio, aún con dificultades físicas. Oramos constantemente para que la energía de su cuerpo sea favorable para su Sankirtan y oramos para tener siempre su misericordiosa guía. 

HpS - Thank you. One time Raktaka Das said that we were doing very severe austerities to push forward the Bhaktivedanta Institute work in Kolkata, and we thought about it and said, "Not very severe, but at least austere and maybe severe". We take time for sense gratification. We watch the Life of Salvador Dali on Youtube etc.

Try to work hard.

On the other hand, can see that we are really doing nothing. AgtSP!

Escribo como parte del equipo de ASA Carnaval, con nuestro reporte de actividades:

*Nos disculpamos por no enviar reporte de la quincena anterior, debido a que usted se encontraba de viaje consideramos pertinente esperar.

ASA - 👍

* Durante su Viaje a Boise. Prabhu Murari Das, amablemente, compartió con sus sirvientes las grabaciones de sus clases vespertinas y las participaciónes en el Ratha Yatra local de Radhika Raman Prabhu y de usted. Ya hemos compartido la mayoría en la página de FB.

ASA - Super, super. We were trying but it was just too much work. Super. Thanks to him. He is a hero. He did very severe book distribution for years in Spain.

*Continuamos transmitiendo las clases sabatinas con SS Hanumatpresaka Swami y Upendra Prabhu. (*Tuvimos dificultades para transmitir las clases del 23 y 26 de septiembre, por lo que si usted, pudiera compartirnos estas grabaciones se lo agradeceremos mucho.)

ASA - We just tried, agtSP, to open the list of classes on GoToMeeting.com but could not get it to open!!! Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Maybe we can work on this later. Also, maybe we can develop a habit of sending link right after classes. The Robot gives us a chance to do that sometimes.

That is 23rd.

26th is PartSarthi Foundation. We have no control over that. Write to the Blog and we will try to put you in touch with their administrators.

This pushes all the speakers to do good work.

*El canal oficial de youtube “ISKCON Ministry of Education” compartió la conferencia que usted dictó en el simposio Viplavah 2019, doblada al español, y ya la hemos compartido en la página de FB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5JU9DikhrM

ASA - Bali-mardana Das!

*En los canales de FB y Youtube los usuarios podrán encontrar una lista de reproducción con algunas clases de Srila Prabhupada (Ingles - Español)

Proyectos:

*Como resultado de su sugerencia respecto a “contribuir directamente en la misión de Srila Prabhupada”. Hemos invitado a distintos devotos para colaborar con proyectos artísticos y algunos otros para realizar clips del Prabhupada lilamrta. Continuamos trabajando en ello.

ASA - Can you give example of what kind of things they are doing??

* Respecto al estudio Stri Dharma, hemos propuesto a Madre Radhika Devi Dasi (México) realizar algunos talleres prácticos y ella ha sugerido los siguientes contenidos: A) Identifica tu naturaleza, B) Aryurveda, C) Educación Sexual D) Aprendizaje con las diferencias de pareja.

ASA - Is very nice. Wish someone had done their Bhaktivedanta work on this topic. Also, Sannyasa Dharma needs the same extract from Srila Prabhupada's books. We need to bring his work into so many detailed areas.

*Guru Maharaja, durante la clase de este sábado, usted mencionó su deseo de realizar la grabación de la lectura del Néctar de la Instrucción. Quisiéramos preguntar ¿Cómo podemos contribuir?

ASA - I do not know exactly. Of course, devotees can try recording, even as PPTX made into MP4, and see if the quality is good. Inspiring.

Aprovechamos para comentar: Observamos que, en las grabaciones realizadas durante las clases, frecuentemente hay ruidos externos o algún tipo de interrupción. Por lo que quizá sea mejor que las grabaciones se realicen de manera independiente (ya sea desde zoom o goto).

ASA - Yes.... Jagad guru Das had much very professional equipment that he brought to Peru

En caso de que desee lectura bilingüe (como el pasado sábado) aparecen dos opciones: 1) Programar reuniones con usted y el traductor para que lean conjuntamente inglés-español o  2) Que usted grabe la lectura en inglés y en otro momento podríamos grabar al lector en castellano, para después unir y editar. Por favor, háganos saber sus instrucciones, deseando ser útiles de algún modo, quedamos felizmente atentos.

ASA - This requires time and people. Nice to try and record the Preface first in the quality and way that we want. Just audio is nice but as movie is also nice.

We might record some. Others might record.

Can have many different editions. El libro vale la pena.
