Hare Krishna, Maharaja!

This is Nandalal Das. I was going through "Tava Pache Pache."

Confusion...

Can the senses enjoy without the mind? If they can't, isn't mind the actual enjoyer? If so, do the senses dictate what to enjoy or mind directs the senses to the objects that it wants to enjoy?

If the latter is the case, do senses really have any control over what they can/cannot do, independent of mind?

If they don't, then how can we make any sense to do what it should? For example, how do we make the tongue to only take prasadam or chant the names of the Lord? How can the senses that are to be used to get the mind under control, be used effectively when they are controlled by the mind?

Hare Krishna!

Nandalal Das

HpS - I think I am probably more confused than you. There were no elephants in the town where I grew up, so did not get their sagacious association, but what comes to mind is that the only thing there is, is Radha Krsna rasa lila. They are just dancing and dancing... Then to expand the joy They expand.... even into the material world... to even understanding how material nature works, what moves it etc, is not a slight task.

We like our mind. It dresses up like a polar bear in a candy store and attracts it.

Then it gives "freedom" to the senses to do what they want.

We pretend our dolly, the mind is alive, and the dolly, the mind, pretends that the senses are alive. So, the senses and mind mutually influence each other.

In other Yogas you have to renounce the sense object, then the senses, then the mind, then the intelligence and then you come to the supersoul, and if you slip on any step you have to start all over,

but in Bhakti yoga, because we more or less pray to Krsna, the SUPER SOUL from the very beginning, then He arranges sensuous activities that touch our heart.

So the acts of using our mind to try to control our senses heart touching.

I paint the Rathayatra cart and freak out when I make a mistake!

Does this give some perspective??

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru Maharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada & All glories to you.

Please accept my humble obeisances. (PAMHO)

Paoho...

We have a new computer and we don't have Word yet, so we can't do a web version of the Kapi Dhvaja.

We should get Word when we get back to Nashville from the generous Kumari Manjari Singh.

Basically, we moved from Santa Eulalia in the foothills of the Andes to Punta Negra on the seacoasts of the Lima, and finished filming the movie, packing, editing until the last minute while saying good-bye to Jagat-guru Das and his wonderful family: Carolina, Madhavi and Rasa-rani; and Kunja-bihari Das, Panca-tattva Das and Adi-yajna Das; and flew .... to .... Houston. 🛫

Three very nice devotees took first initiation here in Houston:

1. Devendra Krsna Das,
2. Sumitra Radha Devi Dasi,
3. Jaya-hari Das.

We traveled for two hours to College Station, and again, a very hard but very. very productive program with gads of college students.

Everything is very hard and very productive.

Thousands of disciples visiting from Dallas, Austin, Mexico.

Filming, FILMING, F I L M I N G.... with Abhaya and Thejas:

• Very good interviews,
• Excellent clips of the fire Yajna,
• The complete Gaura-purnima festival.

Calendar

March 19th to Murfreesboro. Get our feet on the ground and the 7th we go to Richmond for Rama-navami festival.

www.JayaRama.US/kd/cal.htm

$$$

We have enough donations to cover the costs of the travel and increment the shooting of our movie.

First editing of 1st movie is very good.

Doing final editing now.

Our after-words to Srila Prabhupada's NoI has been released here in Houston and should be up at Amazon.com very soon. It is excellent. People clamoring to get it! 😦

Uncle Gismo

Our body is dwindling. We really start to feel whining in the knees and hip joints.

We left the old computer with Panca-tattva Das. He deserves better, but everyone says it is still a damn fine computer. Gopinatha Das gave us a new one to use here.

Piggy's Parting Pearls

We would like to write more, but without Word it is a little constrained.

• Off course we Tweet minute by minute updates: huber_robinson.
• Post daily Sankirtan reports from party members at the Blog: www.MonkeyWarrior.Com
• This Kapi Dhvaja goes out fortnightly.

Regular ASA class schedule will start Sunday the 19th. It is in the calendar linked above.

Principal Needed

Very special news is that ISKCON Houston, Goswami Academy, is looking for teachers and especially a principal.

We think it might be a very, very, very nice job for someone or a family from South America etc.

English media.

Salary and accommodation.

Wonderful school and kids.

Contact: Seva Priya - [email protected].

The

All Glories To You Guru Dev

Thank you for your association, thank you for the ASA programs.

A summary of our lives in Cordoba: we are happy to have the association with families of devotees near where we live. They are Prabhu Madhavendra Puri and his family, Prabhu Devakinandana and his family, Prabhu Markandeya rsi and his family, Gaura jivana and his family and other families who also attend weekly programs that we organize for our children.

Our idea is also, in addition to sharing and organizing programs for children, is to intensify our individual and group practice. It is beautiful to be able to share the chanting of the holy name with others.

Our asrama (mountain forest tower) is still under construction. We hope to conclude the urgent quickly.

Hari vamsi dhari turns 6 on March 13 and his physical, social and mental needs are becoming more complex. He attends a Waldorf school which we see is beneficial to his development.

As for our work, we develop it remotely through the internet. basically for other countries and it s basically for photo retouching, image design and eventually videos.

ASA - Making a more beautiful world.

 As a family we are making arrangements to be available to travel and serve on the film project in Spain and India.

ASA - We are looking to make the Spanish itenerary within the next few days, weeks.

I hope you have an excellent stay in the USA and the new stage of filming is successful.

HpS - We seem to be contributing a lot to the life of cinematagraphy in Houston.

Keep doing our work and trying to adjust by what results we see.

Thank you very much Guru Dev We hope to be useful in your Sankirtan your servant Ambarisa m Das

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las Glorias a Usted Guru dev

Gracias por su asociación, gracias por los programas de ASA.

Un resumen de nuestra vidas en Cordoba: estamos contentos de tener cerca de donde vivimos asociación con familias de devotos. Ellos son Prabhu Madhavendra Puri y su familia, Prabhu Devakinandana y su familia, Prabhu Markandeya rsi y su familia, Gaura jivana y su familia y otras familias que también asisten a programas semanales que organizamos para nuestros hijos.

Nuestra idea es también, además de compartir y organizar programas para los niños, la de intensificar nuestra practica individual y grupal. Es hermoso poder compartir el canto del santo nombre con otros.

Nuestro asrama (torre del bosque montañoso) sigue en construcción. Esperamos concluir lo urgente rápidamente.

Hari vamsi dhari el 13 de marzo cumple 6 años y sus necesidades físicas, sociales y mentales se van complejizando. El asiste a un colegio waldorf que vemos que es beneficioso para su desarrollo.

En cuanto a nuestro trabajo lo desarrollamos a distancia a través de internet. básicamente para otros países y sobre todo retoques fotográficos, diseño de imagen y eventualmente videos.

Como familia estamos haciendo los arreglos para estar disponibles y poder viajar y servir en el proyecto de la película sea tanto en España como en India.

Espero tenga una excelente estadia en USA y la nueva etapa de filmacion sea exitosa.

Muchas Gracias Guru Dev

esperamos ser de utilidad en su Sankirtan

Hare Krishna querido Gurudev:

Acepte Ud mis respetuosas reverencias. Quería informarle que por encargo de Prabhu Maturesh Sandi he sido convocado por la Madre Murti Mati dd para conformar un Equipo Multidiciplinario para la Defensa de la Infancia dentro de ISKCON PERU este equipo será un grupo de profesionales devotos que constará de: Abogados, Psicólogos, Educadores y otros, con la finalidad de orientar a las padres de familia en la mejor manera de cuidar a sus hijos libre de cualquier vulneración a su integridad física o psicológica sea de parte de ellos mismos como de terceros. En este ámbito de ideas germinales empezaremos a generar directrices en relación a estos temas. Esta es una labor que parte de la nada prácticamente sin embargo tomaremos las experiencias que ya se llevan a cabo en ISKCON ARGENTINA. De manera que le pido sus bendiciones para realizar un buen trabajo ya que no solo se tratara de elaborar documentos sino también de orientación en diversos ámbitos de cuidado de la infancia en el ámbito legal, psicológico y educativo. Este es un servicio adicional que voluntariamente le voy a prestar a ISKCON PERU por que guarda relación con mi profesión de Abogado y contribuir de ese modo que se cuide mejor a los niños dentro de lugares físicos y sociales dentro de la Conciencia de Krishna y como Institución dentro del Perú.

También mi querido Gurudeva y en atención a que en el último Kapi Dviya dijo que si hay un algún error en el archivo www.jayarma.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt le avisemos. Bueno pues hay un pequeño error en relación a mi fecha de nacimiento físico en este mundo ahí dice 2 de febrero y en realidad es 27 de febrero.

Por ultimo Gurudeva vengo realizando en forma fija mi servicio de Pujari en Wilson Mandir. Disculpe mi Ud. Mi lenguaje demasiado formal ya que es de costumbre escribir mis documentos de esta manera por lo que ruego su comprensión.

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurudev,

Please accept my respectful obeisances. I wanted to inform you that on behalf of Prabhu Maturesh Sandi I have been summoned by Mother Murti Mati dd to form a Multidisciplinary Team for the Defense of Children within ISKCON PERU. This team will be a group of devoted professionals that will consist of: Lawyers, Psychologists, Educators and others, in order to guide parents in the best way to care for their children free from any violation of their physical or psychological integrity, whether by themselves or by third parties.

In this field of germinal ideas we will begin to generate guidelines in relation to these issues. This is a task that starts from practically nothing, however we will take the experiences that are already carried out in ISKCON ARGENTINA. So I ask for your blessings to do a good job as it was not only about preparing documents but also guidance in various areas of child care in the legal, psychological and educational fields. This is an additional service that I will voluntarily provide to ISKCON PERU because it is related to my profession as a lawyer and thus contribute to better care for children within physical and social places within Krishna Consciousness and as an Institution. within Peru.

ASA - Very nice! We know that the ISKCON Office of Child Protection has many years of work and as far as we know lots of documentation. I hope Mathuresa Das puts you in contact with them.

Also my dear Gurudeva and in attention that in the last Kapi Dviya you said that if there is any error in the file www.jayarma.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt let us notify you. Well, there is a small error in relation to my physical date of birth in this world, it says February 2 and it is actually February 27.

ASA - Thank you!!! Noted and hope to change soon.

Lastly Gurudeva I have been permanently performing my Pujari service at Wilson Mandir. Excuse me. My language is too formal since it is customary to write my documents in this way, so I ask for your understanding.

ASA - It does not seem too formal! It seems natural.

Today service Nimai - Nitai in Wilson, tomorrow in Nabadvipa!

Respects to everyone, Yamunisvara Das, your family.
