H. H. HpS Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam!

H. H. B. S. Damodar Swami, Ki Jai!

Srila Prabhupada, Ki Jai!

Hare Krsna! Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s Padama Charan that I am so happy to get Guruji Maharaja's reply so soon, and it is the same address written not to write in this blog.

In my previous letter I had asked the differences of "Mantra and Gaitri" and Guruji replied as HpS - We do not understand your question too well. Can you give details? The details are as under : 

1.     Guru

Mantra : Eing Srigurube namah;

Gayatri - Eing Srigurudevaya bidamahe krsnanandaya dhimahi tano guru:

                pracodayat.

 

2.     Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Mantra : Kling Srikrsnacaitanyaya svah.

Gayatri : Kling Gourangaya bidamahe biswambharaya dhimahi tano goura:

    pracodayat.


3.     Nityananda


Mantra : Kling Nityananda candraya svah.

Gayati  : Kling Nityanandaya bidamahe balaramaya dhimahi tano Rama

                pracodayat.

HpS - Hmm? We still do not understand. 😟 Can you send your whatsapp number or e-mail address and we could communicate in some more detail about the Mantras.

 I am now reading Bhagavatam 11:20:30. Narrating the different concepts of happiness in general public and bhaktas spiritual views. Normally everybody thinks that the greatest happiness is the Maya; but the real happiness is worship of Sri Krsna – because He is the only sources of happiness. Actually, even now, I can’t experience the feeling of happiness in chanting Mahamantra and seeing the Murti. When I will get the same feelings which were experience by Gosvamis and other bhaktas? Sometimes tears rolled down from my eyes but could not grapes [grasp] the idea of happiness in my practice.

Guruji! Please guide me if there is any mistake in my practice or in the systems.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - You have tears from the eyes but you are not happy?

One time Hari-sauri Das described that he was traveling as Srila Prabhupada his secretary and when they arrived at the airport many devotees were there and chanting and dancing in great jubilation. Then the same thing happened when they arrived at the Temple.

When they got to Srila Prabhupada's room, Hari-sauri Das said that he wished he had the love for Srila Prabhupada that all the jumping and chanting devotees had, and then Srila Prabhupada looked at him and said, "Oh, you don't want to be my secretary any more"?

Hari-sauri Das felt terrified and said, "No, Srila Prabhupada, I want to continue as your secretary as long as you will keep me!"

Srila Prabhupada smiled and said, "That is love".

So the real test of love is not that we feel some ecstasy, but that we are attached to doing practical service for Krsna. We feel that we HAVE to chant our rounds. That feel bad when we don't do it.

Yes, Krsna, His murti should become so very nice to see afte we do regular service to Them.

Do you have Deitys in your home?

Pictures.

We may have tears, trembling etc or maybe not. It may take some life times to become purified, but we won't give up. That is all we can say. Get advice from others also. Tell us what they say!
