HpS - Still best for pilot is an edited Word file with different levels of Headings. 🙂

Respected Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to your unmotivated and uninterrupted service.

I am striving to maintain my commitment to waking up at 4 AM, attending Mangala Arati, listening to SB and BG classes, reading Srila Prabhupada's books, and bathing Gaura Nitai daily.

ASA/TomBrown-Buck White-HpS - So are we! If it were not for the sincere association of devotees that attend the online program we might not be able to do it! 😲

I have also been reading from Memories, Dreams, and Reflections. Through various case studies, Jung repeatedly demonstrates that there is some meaning and sense behind the behavior of the psychologically ill. That meaning can be unearthed by analyzing the patient's life experiences, the patient's individual unconscious, and the collective unconscious. As I read the stories of Jung's many patients, I often remember how you say something to the effect that insanity is a sane reaction to an insane situation.

While outlining the development of his intellectual methods, in which dream analysis is paramount, Jung describes his connection with Sigmund Freud. He delineates their intellectual disagreements concerning the repression mechanism and the resulting break in their relationship. In the course of this description, Jung regularly asserted that he "was concerned with investigating the truth, not with questions of personal prestige," and therefore decided to distance himself from Freud (158).

Currently, I am reading about Jung's encounter with his individual unconscious (which, in his view, encompassed elements like Philemon, ka, and the anima). In this section, Jung makes some very interesting and explicit connections to the Vedic tradition. I was especially intrigued by his fascination with the guru.

Thank you very much, Guru Maharaja.

Your humble servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi

HpS - Thank you so much. Maybe we can all join in the discussion with Sony Shamdasini in September. He sat in Jung's chair in his library. 😁

The most wonderful thing in the world is to have some deep experience of Lord Chaitanya's world and then to find someone who can appreciate it.

It is so, so enlivening to read your cogent comments on Memories, Dreams and Reflections.

We hope your Sankirtan at Yale and your whole personal atmosphere develop very nicely.

There are no smaller tests for girls, no?

Draupadi was every bit as big a hero as Arjuna, no?

Such happy looking Gaura Nitai. So clean and bright.

Dear Guru Maharaj, Please accept our humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please find attached some photos of the Vivah Yajna.

Our Sincere Apologies...Technical glitches prevented the live broadcast being of much use, so we removed it...we hope to share some parts from the final result soon.

Your servants

Senyora.

Thank you for the news. We hope that the rituals of marriage were efficacious and that you can follow in the footsteps of such galant ladies as Visnu-priya and Rukmini et al. We hope you had clear vision with your husband about the Ashrama before you took it up and can now build on those more and more.

Our Yoga takes tremendous advantage of the social aspects of reality that Krsna gives us in the material world.

Our respects to your Senyor.

HpS - ASA.

asa-e; sankirtan; compassion

Mrs. Smith and Mr. Jones filed a complaint in court that I stole their bones,

But I don't have bones, I don't eat meat, not fish, eggs, nor bones!

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/5/13/5/

It does that surprise me that people are crazy here.

This world is a mental hospital.

It makes me laugh.

They must be in pain.

Let me respond with compassion. Ask them how I can help. Explain that I do not have their bones.

AGTSP!! Paoho & Best Wishes.

We have been trying to give some good advice to one family with marriage issues. We can only see things from our perspective and are sure that this is not the whole picture. (See attached picture of blind men trying to understand an elephant).

It has come to the point where the gentleman feels that he and she have:

1. Tried,
2. Tried,
3. Tried,
4. Tried,
5. Tried,
6. Tried,

and there is no hope for progress in Eka-patni Vrata in the reasonable future.

So, divorce seems to be promoted by his family.

I do not know personally.

They may be quite different than my my current comic impression. Probably are.

My apologies to them.

Our humble observation from Guru parampara and personal experience is:

Divorce us like cutting of your arm. People in India who see value in following the West, should consider that this Western invention has not worked.

When a chaste girl gives herself in marriage with both families as witnesses, it is like she becomes the husband's arm.

Divorce is like trying to cut it off and grow a new one.

The old one suffers unjust pain and the new one is not a replacement.

O.K.

Taking a second wife.

Even the first one agrees, "Yes, he tried... we all tried", then the HUSBAND must still give love to the first one. See that she has Putra dhana, money, cows, jewels, instead of a son.

Keep an eye on her to see that she is being taken care of by her father, brother, ISKCON Temple etc.

And probably they will develop proper affection over the years at a better distance.

(And she and the second wife will gang up on the husband some times).

According to SB canto six the lady should not remarry. She should take shelter of Krsna and figure 1. That my husband has fallen into illusion, or 2. He has taken a second wife and I can look at examples in the SB of how to follow this role.

Prabhupada in the purports to the instructions of Bhisma deva to Yuddhisthira, SB 1.9, suggests Parasara Dharma Sastras for getting happy social life and he suggests that

1st class is Visnu priya and Lord Caitanya.

2nd class is like above, go on with your life and don't get remarried

3rd class, and still progressive, is to get remarried after 6-years.

As we sit here we are in the community of our disciples who got married, had a song, got divorced, and each married a new, excellent, devotee partner. Lady has a had more children, the son of the first marriage seems to be handling everything. They all live in the same community.

... it is probably 99% insane.... but .... this is the Kali--yuga and Lord Caitanya's mercy goes to the most fallen .... IF WE ARE SINCERE.

Our perspective.

Could say other things but everyone involved is pretty cool in our view and can probably figure these details out.

Legally it can be adjusted.

Thank you.

I think if people put there Sankirtan for Guru and Gauranga first these other problems with fall in line easily.

Which of the following ladies were happy in their married life:

• Draupadi,
• Kunti,
• Gandhari,
• Radharani,
• Mandodari,
• Subhadra?
