Hare krisna!!
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
Dear Gurudeva, you are an ocean of good qualities,
HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. We have to follow the example of Mark Twain, "Reports of our divinity have been greatly exagerated".
living example of the causless mercy of Srila Prabhupada. All glories to him, jay srila prabhupada. Jaya Hanumatpresaka Swami!!!
HpS - Hansadutta Swami said, "PRABHUPADA, made his generals out of MUD!"
Feeling huge gatitude and compromise to have your association, your vani and for being part of this wonderful mission, ISKCON, sankirtana.
We are following 4 principles strictly now for almost 2 months. Upastha vegam is very intense and perturbed our japa a few days, but we are struggling to reach 16 rounds everyday.
HpS - ASA - Everybody is different. What takes two weeks for one person may take two years for some onw else, twenty years, next life time. Are we trying our best and making progress. O.K. that's the test. The standard is there, given by Srila Prabhupada parampara!
Maybe someone's partner is not devotee and wants, demands a life within their marriage of breaking the four, principles. "Eat meat or it's a divorce. Drink tea or its a divorce." O.K. Then there may be separation. O.K. Be cool for some time, but maybe it becomes apparent that just as our partner has found a demon to marry we can find a devotee to marry and have sense gratification acording to our stage of spriritual development in relationship to Krsna and make RAPID advancement!
...Intelligence and instructions are very clear BG. 18.37 / 38, Cc, Antya 12.112, but mind is crazy. Feeling separation from wife and children.
I don’t want to become an artificial renouncer but to enjoy a higher taste, when is it going to develop? I do sincere want to advance in devotional service but in an easy way, no as a fanatic.
I have read this article by Matsya Avatara Prabhu which brought some peace in my mind. I sent it to [email protected] in case you want to read it.
SAMA, Our health center is developing very nice, we are participating in the December marathon, almost everybody who goes in gets out with SP`s books. Je je je!! Ayurveda is like a deskise the real medicine is right there next to the entrance door.
Devotees here are very enthusiastic, El Loft is growing, programs are working ok.
Personally I want to focus in SAMA and project my service from there, and im getting rid of this inmense plans to make huuuuge things for krisna which only end in my face being paralized. I want to focus and improve my daily sadhana, morning and evening program and japa.
Don’t forget me gurudeva, I need your light, guidance and kindness for accomplish anything.
May Nityananda Ram always be with you!!!
Struggling in the waves of material existence.
Bhakta Nicasio.
HpS - ASA - Laksmana Das was a Catholic monk for like 6-years and then returned to secular life, then became Srila Prabhupada's servant in ISKCON. He remembers in the monastery when a young monk who was feeling a lot of physical agitation from sex desire for a long time asked their preceptor, "Does this agitation ever go away?!!"
The Preceptor looked very thoughtfully and then said, "Yes, 15-minutes after death."
Ha! Ha! hhhaaa... It is all from Krsna. Make chanting Hare Krsna, hearing/chanting first priority and then moral and ethical life will follow. Please send more news.
