All Glories to Sri A.C. Prabhupada Maharaja, Sri Sripada Maharaja, Sri HpS Maharaja Ki Jay
Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay and Gourabhakta Vrnda Ki Jay!
HpS - Ki Jai!!!
Guruji Maharaja! Thousands times Dandavat Pranam!
HpS - That is a lot of times!!! You could do Dandavat parikrama of Govardhana with that maybe!
Guruji Maharaja, today is a special day for me in my life. In my dream Guruji lead me to Goloka Vrndavan and join us in the activities of the Gopies for preparation of garland, fruits, and other materials of pujah.
HpS - Srila Prabhupada says that Krsna does these things through Guru even without his knowing. So, nice!
The journey was so long and difficult way of jungles. We go there not on foot, seems to fly openly without any instrument. It is around 2.00 a.m. when I make conscious. As Guruji advice, I wake up and go the bathroom for morning works and after that I started chanting complete 20 rounds, after that I continue my mangal arati and other morning activities.
In the Bhagavatam 8.22.33 indrasena maharaja, Vamana called O Bali Maharaja [Indrasena]. What it really meant? Is there any underlying story of Indrasena. If yes, please explain.
HpS - I do not know. The simple Sanskrit tanslation would be "Indra's Army". Maybe we can ask Sukadeva Goswami when we meet him.
One of our (most important) initiated bhakta of our Mandir, Sri Nanda Suta Das inform me to ask Guruji these two questions in Manipuri and I am translating in English.
1. When Jiva started getting karmafal (result of activities)?
HpS - Do we me the result of his spiritual activities or his material activities. The basic principle is that we get reactions for everything we do know. Matter, even at a mental or social or level of devatas, reacts to our actions. Of course, how that happens is big subject. Can you ask him more details? Does he mean, "How did our material life begin?"
2. When & how Jiva was bewilther by Maya (Matter-Prakirti)?
HpS - Aaah! Maybe this is the question. Basically we become bewildered by Maya when we start trying to compete with Krsna. We are at a very nice party for Krsna arranged by the Gopis. Maybe his birthday party. Everything is for Krsna: The people, the land, the cooking,the singing, but some how or othe we begin to think, "What about me!". If we persists then we see in one part of the party there is an old black and white television with bad reception, but is about US!!! So we start watching the TV show of our adventures as a famous Spy, King ... and of course we forget about the party. That is Maya! O.K? More details.
Now I am reading the book “The Glories of Sri Navadvipa-dham : Sri Navadvipa dhama Mahatmya By Srila Sac-cid-ananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura presented by Bhanu Swami Pundarika Vidyanidhi Dasa.
In the chapter – 5 : Shri Mayapur and Antardvipa; it is clearly mentioned that Vanisivadana is none other than Krsna’s dear flute, by whose mercy the living entities become attracted to Krsna. They then develop great thirst, to attain the rasa dance. Sri Jiva Gosvami asked Nityananda the meaning of Antardvipa. Nityainanda replied at the end of Dvapra yuga Brahma undertook austerities here with a desire to achieve Gouranga’s mercy. The present Navadvipa is the Vrndavan of Dvapara. Thinking this Brahma began meditation and performing austerities in Antardvipa.
HpS - !!
Another point having given up the illusion that I want to take birth in Your association and sing Your glories. “Hearing Brahma’s prayer, Lord Gauranga benedicted him saying, “So be it. When My pastimes become visible on earth, you will take birth in a yavana’s house. Your name will be Haridasa Thakura, and you will be famous for your humility and completely free from all pride. You will chant three hundred thousand names a day, and when you pass from this world you will be seein Me. And at the end of the second one hundred tillion years of your life, you will attain Navadvipa and be absorlbed in eternal rasa”. I am continuing …..
HpS - Thank you so much. Next week is disappearance day of Jayananda Das. We had so much association with him. Prabhupada spent so much time with him. I think that maybe he was an incarnation of Prahlada Maharaja. Of course, these are very advanced things to investigate, but in general he showed us how to chant and work without sleeping or eating for long times.
A team of 10-12 initiated bhaktas and matagis of our Mandir are planning to take part the full Navadvipa Parikrama (20 days before Gaura Purnima) next year. The programme will be Imphal to Kolkatta to and fro by flight and stay at Mayapur until the end of the parikrama. Guruji! Have You participated such parikrama in the past?
HpS - The second ISKCON one!
If not, we want to participate the parikrama with You next year instead of coming directly in Imphal because we have no time to serve Guruji and hear Guruji’s Amtavani (Advice). It is our simple suggestion please doesn’t take otherwise. We are waiting Guruji’s openion.
Yours fallen servant
Yamunesvara Das
