Japa Mala

9 years, 6 months ago by Jacobo in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please receive my humble obeisance, all the glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope that when you receive this letter you are well and receiving all the blessings of Krishna.
Here I'm fine and trying to make my rounds every day with enthusiasm with the help of Krishna. Yesterday I was in a class in Dandava´s house, the next friday we will go to a village near Aranjuez for a Bhakti Vriksha meeting and on Saturday I´ll go to Ciudad Real which is to 150 km from here, with Dandava, Carcika and maybe more devotees because Dandava is going to give a conference there to people that we still don´t know but sure it will be great. So this week is being very intensive.

A few weeks ago Dandava Prabhu told me about buying a japa mala and send it to you to Tennessee. Please forgive me because I still haven´t sent it. I thought it would be easy to get a Japa Mala Japa here in Madrid but in the temple there are only very small Malas so I bought one online at an internet shop called Krishna Store. I'm still waiting it because shipping is shipped from India and takes a time. I hope it gets soon and as soon as it gets i´ll send it to you by express mail.

I´d like to ask you a question. May I chant please your Pranama Mantra before the rounds. If you give me permission I would like to do it.

Is Japajoe working in this moment? Sometimes I use to connect but there are not devotees connected. Please let me know when I can enjoy Japajoe.

Thank you very much in advance. Please forgive me for my English. Greetings from Madrid.

Your servant

Jacobo.

HpS - AGTSP - paoho. Your position seems wonderful. Anyone who can follow these four regulative principles is going to have a life 40-times better than the common modern man. Then you are chanting Hari-nam. This will remove sinful reactions from the core of your heart and lead you to have good vision of Krsna and His abode.

We have a long way to go to get out of the material world completely and ... then... we can progress more and more to Vaikuntha, Ayodhya, Dvaraka, Vrndavan, Rasa-lila...

You standard from you last letter seemed ALMOST perfect.

1) Yes, if we fall behind in our 16-rounds then we can make them up the next day. You have to be completely strict about this. Of course, if you are in a hospital in a coma then we will accept that you don't have to chant 16-rounds on that day.

2) In the Nectar of Instruction, Upadesamrta, and other places Srila Prabhupada, makes it clear, the Parampara makes it clear, that getting up for Brahma-muhurta is a REQUIREMENT for being in this movement. Did not The Dandva Das or Yadu Swami or others tel you this? Hmmmmm. Maybe the devil has established a beach-head in Madrid!

Next he will be promoting chocolate!

Solve this problem, soldier! Even Krsna, would leave Rukmni in bed and get up for Mangala-arati, Brahma-muhurta (1-1/2 hours to 45 minutes before dawn). This world has been created by God so that we can use it for self realization. If sleep during Brahma-muhurta we will realize a consciousness that will make us take birth as rats in Vrndavana in our next life. Yes, we will be in Vrndavana but we won't be ready for Hari-nama diksa yet.

Send us a report on you fight with the Witch.
