Hare Krsna GuruMaharaja:
How is your health?
HpS - ASA ---- AGTSP!!! paoho. Brother Ass is about the same as usual. The swelling in our feet suddenly reduced over a period of like three days???? Maybe Laksmana-agraja Das' health improved.
In answer to your questions:
2 to 4 days: wake up 3.30 AM
Other days, around 7.30AM, occasionally later.. it depend what time I go to sleep the previous day. Urgent tasks have emerged lately because of that. I had to go to sleep late.
HpS - This getting up for Brahma-muhurta is essential for a Brahmana. BRAHMA-muhurta = BRAHMANA. We don't generate any more time by staying up late and working rather than getting up early and working. We just do it in a less efficient fashion. That is a Brahmana, up early and working in the mode of goodness rather than up late and working in the mode of ignorance. Jaya!
Before 10AM: I try to get done my Japa, trying it be my first thing to do (sorry, yet I not attached to Holy Names, cultivate the desire) Only 4 rounds can get to chant in the afternoon).
Wake up and worship Sri Sri Nitai Gaura Nataraja (Puja + Bhajan + Lectura).
Around 9.30 or 10 start my workday.
4 pples strictly OK. 16 rounds OK (because of your blessings and for believe in me)
Follow your instruction: 95% Prasadam prepared by me, I seen the change (sutil) 5% pasta + bread.
Commence the disciple course, and keep on the Bhakti Sastri.
Before sleep: LOB
Some Questions:
1. Heard about, that only goes to Goloka Vrindavana who worship directly to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, but Lord Chaitanya is one of His personifications, to what planet are the devotees who have developed an attachment to the Sacred Lotus Feet of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
HPS ASA - As far as we can say, it is very subtle, personal. Different people are attached to Lord Caitanya, Krsna, in different perspectives, so they go to different places. Kamsa may have gone to the Vaikuntha because he may have seen Krsna as four armed Visnu.
Lord Caitanya is Krsna trying to understand the feelings of Radha with the help of Her friends, Lalita, Visakha et al in a confidential part of Vraja (Nadia), so His Bhaktaas may go to that part of Vrndavana. Depends on the detials of the person's consciousness.
2. Heard too if someone see/touch blood (like that…) in Ekadasi, is like broke the vote, is it ok?
HpS - Never heard or read that before. Don't think it is true for us, American ISKCONiyas.
Finally, something I don’t say before, I administrate a Facebook named: “Discipulos Hanumatpresaka Swami”, where share quotes about chant of Holy Names and where the devotees can show different lessons given by Srila Prabhupada and from you. I not began the project, but the devotees who was commence it, leave it open...... because of that, now, I manage it. I extremely carefully in reference about information, always check many times the things, before approve it. The FB is use it for preach and inspiration, of course you have full freedom to se ALL. Sorry I not tell you before. Your disciples can give you testimony how is the use.
Thanks Guru Maharaja for be my guide in the darkness. Yours and Srila Prabhupada’s steps are my road.
Thanks for read my letter and thanks for your time, sorry for long letter, change color of letter, devotees say not easy to read.
Your aspirant to servant.
Rati Manjari Devi Dasi
HpS - Very nice the color letter that you have give us. Thank you. I think you are almost ready for second initiation. Just get your Brahma muhurta service fixed and you will be ready. Of course, Brahman iniciation is "initiation", the begining of Brahmnicial life, after that we become more and more advanced Brahmanas.
Overcome this challenge and then you could maybe take second initiation in January!!!
FB sounds fine!!!
