Ambarisa Das: https://youtu.be/ABzSYz9jTmE https://youtu.be/DMYcYymdws0


HpS - Seems to us that a few of these lectures are very important, but then we should only post ones that are like final statements on different topics eg. like the MI classes we are giving now if we can. We will never give BhVed classes again.

What ever effort comes naturally!!

This movement is so powerful!


Second Initiation & "Japa Joe"

4 years, 1 month ago by divya in Personal Sadhana Reports, Special Category A

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to you

All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Guru Maharaj thank you so much for replying to my previous letter

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11930/

Guru Maharaj I had sent the edited copy japa joe in the month of July 15th 2020 through email, and have again forwarded you the copy of it through email today. Please take a look at it whenever you get some time and guide me on how I should proceed with it.


Guru Maharaj the Bhakti Shastri Course with Gopal Hari Prabhu will finish in April 2021 and after that he will be conducting the test.

We are on the last book, Bhagavad Gita and have completed 6 Chapters, 12 Chapters left which will take around 12 weeks approximately Guru Maharaj.


Please guide us Guru Maharaj

Whatever you think is right we are ready to do that Guru Maharaj. 

Yours Servant

Divya Sri Devi Dasi


HpS - ASA -- AgtSP! Paoho. Our life is typical Kali-yuga, any Yuga, catastrophy: 'Dukhalayam asasvatam...", "Kalau doser nidhe rajan...".

Yet there really is one good thing. If we chant HK/HR following the mode of Srila Prabhupada we can get perspective for our Karma, Jnana and Mystic Yoga work. We can worship the Deity!!!


Is it O.K. to finish the Bh.S. program, in April, and then take Second Initiation?


Sama, dama, tapo, saucam.... has your service brought you so a nice Brahminical standard eg. regular program during the Brahma muhurta continuing until 9AM... etc? Understand your Varna and Ashrama in a basic sense?

Of course, initiation as Dvija means initiation, starting that life. We all must continue that until we are Goswamis and acharyas.


We want to look at editing Japa Joe but in hierarchy it seems to come about third or fourth. Don't give up on it. Have other devotee look at your work and make report.

Hare Krsna!!! Next post. :>>> Thank you.

Jung Goes to Yale?

4 years, 1 month ago by hps in Special Category A

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Though I was working on creating the reading course, I found that the professor's expectations for what has to be predetermined are quite high. He wants me to read 1500 pages (in 13 weeks) about four concepts from Jung and the Gaudiya Vaishnava perspective that directly relates to those concepts. Thereafter, I have to write 4 papers on the 4 topics. He wants me to provide the list of reading material tomorrow. Especially since the semester already started, I am feeling that I may not be able to finalize all aspects in time. Please let me know what your advice is Guru Maharaja. Please forgive me for taking so much of your time 🙏


Your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi


HpS - Hare Krsna. This has been very nice effort. I think it is too much, too soon. You might send our regards and thanks to the Professor, and mention that your resources for the course development would have been: Prof. Ravi Gupta, https://history.usu.edu/faculty/faculty-directory/ravi-gupta, and Hanumatpresaka Swami (Prof. Huber Robinson) Wikipedia bio, and they are thinking also that there needs to be more individual, personal reading at your own pace before such a concentrated study was made.

O.K.

Have you read the auto biography?

Jung follow-up question

4 years, 2 months ago by sugopiradha in Special Category A

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Thank you so much. I will read the Britannica article and put "Memories, Dreams, and Reflections" first on the list for next semester. Guru Maharaja, the professor works on interfaith dialogue and theologies of religious pluralism. I was wondering if you could guide me on how I can get started on relating Jung's autobiography with our philosophy (eg., which sastra to focus on) so that I can present a basic course structure to him. Thank you so much, Guru Maharaja.


Your servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi


HpS - ASA -- AgtSP. Paoho. I would suggest you just start with the Bhagavad Gita and SB, and as you read Jung's texts you can note topics on philosophy and metaphysics that the Gita and Bhagavata Purana cover and then consult us and others and then include the relevant citations from these two texts.


I will write a letter to Shonu and Bernardo now.

URGENT - Calendar Change - Mayapura Classes

4 years, 2 months ago by hps in Special Category A, Hot Topics, Calendar Development

Our classes for Bhaktivedanta diploma,

For the Mayapura Institute,

On ZOOM,

Will start next Monday, Feb 1st, from 16-18:30 IST, 4.30 - 7AM Nashville Time,

On Mahārāja Sagara and Lord Rama, SB Canto 9, Chapters 8 to 12.


Then February 15-19th will be Canto 9, Chapters 19-24.


We didn't post this first session on our cell phone calendar so we missed it.

Radhika-nagara Das was sharp enough to remind us. He is only 47-years old, young man!


To avoid the Zoom address going public and risking hackers joining, we will give the Zoom address to just a few people individually and most everybody else can watch it on Facebook.


So . . . who wants the Zoom address, especially for Facebook sharing?


-0-0-


Obviously we will have to concentrate on preparing our teaching material. We will not be able to join the FMP during those days, and our voice and mind will be exhausted after 2.5-hours of lecturing daily.


Thank you so much,

HpS, Brown Tom and White Buck


Hare Krsna
