Budanath das from the little mountain.

I hope you are fine in all aspects.

HpS - ASA  ---  Hare Krsna. This is the material world, no?  It is painfully hot, we have allergy, hay-fever, for many days now. Today it is especially strong. We are surrounded by vikarmia and karmis et al, but we have your association and so, so many other nice devotees. Krsna is in our hearts, cave, NGD house, SB!

Throughout these weeks I have had many good days, others less so, and this last week a lot of work.

I have not read too much, I have to adjust my schedule better and obligations.

I tried to write every day the most important things to tell you when I want to write, but in the end I never remember writing it. Whenever I have the feeling that I will not write something right, and take long to write.

I have had many accomplishments, really, and every day I am happier with my life, like I could die happy now, or something.

HpS - Sadhan Bhakti has two divisions: Relief from material distress and the everything starts to become harmonius, aspicious. Then comes Bhava bhakti.

One thing I wonder. Once I read in the books of Srila Prabhupada, I do not remember whether in translation or meaning, when one encounters the Devas or celestial entities, must continue without entertained with them because it can slow down your spiritual advancement. But at the same time mystic yogis seek these meetings to check on that platform are performing.

When the devotee tries to see Krsna in everything, and it begins to perceive more and more, I guess that goes through these phases in a natural way, relating it to Krsna directly. finally, after all, are the qualities of Krsna embodied with matter in the material platform ... right?

HpS - ASA - Try http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/2/2/21    The answer to this question can have many different aspects. Arjuna acquired mystical powers, deva-shakti, weapons for fighting for Krsna, but as you say it is also a way to see if we are advancing in devotional service. The surest way is to see how much we are attached to Krsna-katha!!!!

If one perceives the Devas, you can also perceive the mighty asuras, their opponents in the same plane right? My question whether, is right that the devotee use his friendship with the Devas to fight the asuras, but I'm wrong is normal in traditional Vedic culture, right?

HpS - As we mention above this can be normal thing, use divine powers to fight the Asuras FOR KRSNA.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu didn´t use their weapons against Jagai and Madai, and Nityananda told him it was not his incarnation to kill asuras, but I imagine it was also because Jagai and Madai repented and threw themselves at his feet thanks to Nityananda.

HpS - Yes!

My question is, is not a something different feature an incarnation that comes to relieve the weight of the darkness of the universe, as justice in person, that the person who defends the devout and the innocent from harm from the bad? I have always read that a devotee is not indifferent to the suffering of others, and not allow damage to the devotee or innocent.

HpS - In terms of "material" good and "bad", organic food, giving charity to poor people, a devotee does this in a civilized fashion, seeing that these are beginning steps to go to Bhakti yoga. So it is natural to act in this way. Arjuna was right, he should have revenged Draupadi and Yuddhisthira, but that by itself was not enought. He had to fight because it was a part of a larger plan for Krsna.

Thank you so much for everything and hope not to bore you.

I think a lot about your person, I hope to spend some time in the future with you in Peru or India. Have your association.

Manjaris are growing in the tulasi forest.

Yours, one fool of this world.

HARE KRSNA MAHARAJA, GOOD DAY, I SEE YOU IN THE TIME OF THE SOUND INSIDE THE HOLY NAMES AND MEMORIES. SOOO NICE YOURS NEWS. NECTAR.

HARI HARI!!!

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!!
