Hare krishna- Happy Vyasa Puja !! From Sri Dham Mayapur !!

Dear Gurudeva Hare krishna -Happy Vyasa puja !!!

Jay Srila Prabhupada ki jay !!

Pamho! AGTSP !!

Today my God-brothers and I are organizing a small feast for you; we invited some srila Prabhupada’s disciples and devotees around mayapur. I hope all of them can come for the feast.  Dear Gurudeva, we are trying to serve you as much as we can. I hope do you like it, Thank you very much for be so merciful with all your disciples and give them your attention to all of them, Thank you for be so patient and guide us in the spiritual path that is Krishna consciousness.

I would like to be in argentina in this moment and take your pure association, I would like to see you smiling, I would like to see you dancing, I would like to hear your classes, I would like to hear you chanting because when you chant I feel so peaceful and happy that’s why I would like to be next to you, I would like travel with you and learn from you, I hope that day can come soon.  The devotees from Argentina are very fortune to have you in this wonderful day, I know they will serve as you deserve.

I have too many things to tell you but the most important words are: “I love you so much” because you are always with me.  When sometimes I feel sad, alone or in maya you are always there and sometimes you come in dreams, chanting hare Krishna maha mantra, once I dreamed that we were in vrindhavan and you were greeting me, Caitanya; hare Krishna and I didn’t respond anything, like 2-3 times you greet me and I didn’t respond anything then when I wake up I felt very sad with myself because how can I did respond to my Guru maharaj, I felt so bad. So Please Gurudeva forgives me for my offenses.

I’m so thankful to Krishna that he has send in this world to you,  you will be always in my heart and by your mercy I will serve Radha and Krishna or I will do some service for them.  I want to become a good devotee and serve Srila Prabhupada’s movement and worship in the right way to Radha and Krishna. By the mercy of you and all the vaishnava I will reach my goal. Please Dear Gurudeva Bless me.

Vanca kalpa!!! Hare Krishna!!

Y/s Caitanya Candrodaya das.

            ASA - HpS - AGTSP paoho.  Thnak you.  We see you in just a few more days!!!

El Enviado de Patita Pavana

En bandadas las aves vuelan muy alto y dejan huellas, es así el camino que los grandes acaryas han recorrido, dejando grandes cosas para nosotros.  Cuando uno abre un libro de Srila P´pada un océano de posibilidades  se presentan, el mundo de lo imposible queda atrás la mediocridad es historia. Al conocer este tronco genealógico al cual pertenecemos nos sentimos muy afortunados por poder servir por verdaderamente poder amar al más perfecto de todos, Krsna.

Tan grande es nuestro infortunio que nos rendimos de inmediato, pero cuando por pura misericordia, Krsna nos manda a su devoto, el Guru, empezamos a apreciar, a entender  a realizar las escrituras, el servicio y apreciamos nosotros mismos, comenzamos a vivir verdaderamente. Revivir nuestra conciencia espiritual. Pero esto no es posible sin su guía Gurudeva, dedicado 100% de su energía al servicio de Krsna.

Ud es el enviado del Patita Pavana, el más misericordioso de los santos de los últimos tiempos para predicar por estos lares de cordilleras y quebradas, Ud. con su entrega a P´pada ha transformado nuestro corazón de piedra y ahora le pertenece a Srila Prabhupa, servimos a su cuerpo ISKCON, somos monos de su ejército y deseamos servirlo y complacerlo.

Pertenecer a esta virtuosa familia, es maravilloso ver que gracias a su asociación somos ahora miembros de un legado que tiene pedigrí, un Param Param inmaculado como las puras aguas del ganges  y puedo afirmar sin temor a equivocarme que ahora podemos servir en armonía por el hecho de esforzarnos por seguir sus instrucciones.

Su asociación aplasta todo vestigio de maldad, por ese humor mezcla de  ironía, broma sumado a su compasión hacia todos los grandes tontos que abrazan a Maya guiándoles para que deseen atraerse a Krsna, valorando y entusiasmándoles a seguir en ISKCON pese a todos los obstáculos que se presenten, en el  Vrndavana Dham de los discípulos de P´pada.

En el asiento elevado de una conferencia en templo o una universidades predicando las glorias de Gauranga dadas a conocer por esos Goswamis como Rupa y Jiva Goswami, que nos han entregado las joyas inmaculadas de la filosofía védica , así siempre deseo  verlo, es tan importante verlo predicando a diversas personas en diversas etapas de avance, Ud. es mi mejor ejemplo de predica a las masas, un gran comunicador  de la gran labor de Srila Srila Prabhupada y param param que le preceden, de tal palo tal astilla.

Muchísimas gracias por sus ciento ocho mil formas de  muy buena asociación, gracias por  su Japa Joe, donde  el  entusiasmo, cuidado y familiaridad se unen dando esperanza empezando el día o el sadhana con las 16 rondas lista, permitiendo una global-local de comunicación trascendental, donde una voz el canto del Maha Mantra Hare Krsna desde cada aldea retumba fuertemente en nuestros corazones.

Por favor perdone nuestras débil mente, nuestro grandes errores, permítanos seguir sus sendero, seguir sus pasos camino y de vuelta a casa, para poder servir a Radha y KRSNA

Muchas gracias

Todas las gloria a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas glorias a Hanumatpresaka Swami!

========================

Birds fly in flocks high and leave traces , so the way that the great acaryas have come , leaving great things for us. When one opens a book of Srila P'pada an ocean of possibilities present themselves , the world of the impossible is back mediocrity is history. Knowing this family tree to which we belong we feel very fortunate to be able to love truly serve for the most perfect of all , Krsna.

So great is our misfortune that we surrender immediately, but when pure mercy , Krsna sent us his devotee, the Guru , we begin to see, to understand to make the scriptures , service and appreciate ourselves , we begin to truly live . Reviving our spiritual consciousness . But this is not possible without your Gurudeva guide, dedicated 100 % of his energy in the service of Krsna.

You are the envoy Duckling Pavana , the most merciful of the saints of recent times to preach in these parts of ridges and ravines , with delivery to you P'pada has transformed our heart of stone and now belongs to Srila Prabhupada , your body serve ISKCON , are monkeys of his army and wish to serve and please .

Belonging to this virtuous family, it is wonderful to see that thanks to their association are now members of a legacy that has pedigree a Param Param immaculate as the pure waters of the Ganges and can state unequivocally that we can now serve in harmony by the fact to strive to follow your instructions.

His association crush all vestiges of evil , for that mix humor, irony , joke coupled with his compassion for all great fools hugging Maya guiding wishing to attract Krsna , assessing and entusiasmándoles ISKCON to follow in spite of all obstacles presented in Vrindavan Dham P'pada 's disciples .

In the high seat of a conference in temple or universities preaching the glories of Gauranga released by these Goswamis like Rupa and Jiva Goswami, who have given us the jewels of pristine Vedic philosophy , and always want to see it , it's so important to see preaching to various people in various stages of completion , you are my best example of preaching to the masses, a great communicator of the great work of Srila Prabhupada and Srila param param preceding it , like father like son.

Thank you for your hundred and eight thousand forms very good partnership , thanks for Japa Joe , where enthusiasm , care and giving hope familiarity bind beginning on or sadhana with 16 rounds list, allowing momentous global-local communication , where a voice chanting the Hare Krsna Maha Mantra from every village resounds strongly in our hearts.

Please forgive our feeble minds , our biggest mistakes , let us follow his path, road and follow in their footsteps back home , to serve Radha and Krishna

thank you very much

All glory to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to Swami Hanumatpresaka !

Sadhana 2013

10 years, 4 months ago by chas d lind in Special Category B

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

please accept my obeisances, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

This letter is in response to our Sadhana report and am happy to reply that everything is going perfectly well under my command. So much wealth do I have and I will gain more, my enemies will be killed and I am the enjoyer surrounded by aristocratic friends and relatives… now the rest of the story.

Sadhana 2013

Claims to 16 rounds are there but how many with care? About 20 years on the japa reins, still fighting with fingers & brains though they may flow, the mind rarely lets go. Moments we miss, till our hearts fill with bliss yet we continue to resist. This is where I’m at for now and glad that I’ve kept my vows, times are testing as ever, give up? Never… delay? Maybe too often, but my resilience refuses to soften.

Continuing with high-tech preaching though at times I may be over-reaching, the glowing screens and fanatic gleans, half the time the truth isn’t seen. So, honing my dull intellect I return to the keyboard and reflect… what it is to sincerely express the wisdom of the ages from our lineage of Sages.

Thinking, feeling, willing thus all things become fulfilling, pray tell we get direction and clear reflections not some sentimental recollections with lusty connections.  As the Mind folds, Intelligence holds, so let us grip our beads with complete greed and nurture our rounds with speed, this is the integrity I seek. Once done, we may blissfully do japa and surround ourselves with the Maha-Mantra. This is my goal if I may be so bold, from one who is quickly growing old.

Thus my desire is invoked, yet I still hesitate, obvious attachments must be revoked to obliterate. What about the subtle grips still lurking in the mind… easy enough, direct them to the Divine, now we have a start but let’s fan the spark! Keep in the Fire when we aspire for Vaisnava association, this is our means of true negotiation.

Who am I kidding, the senses want their bidding, a simple breeze will blow me away with ease. Will face the truth and acknowledge I’m uncouth, not fit for human life, this I know, it cuts like a knife for without Guru, Sastra and Sri Bhagavan I cannot go on.

My Sadhana is flickering, though gaining momentum, no more mental bickering, I know my intention and that is complete Spiritual attention… soon I pray, let me hold Bhakti close to my Heart and never stray.

Thank you for your valuable time, hope to continue this path and share more Truth so Sub-lime.

Your servant in training,

caitanya caritamrta dasanudas.

AGTSP. Hey this is a pretty good poem. Next one should be no longer than 140-words about the mystical land of Vrndavan.

Thank you very much!!

Hare Krsna dear Hanumatpresaka Swami,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to You on your auspicious appearance day!

I would like to thank you all of your encourages and inspires what i got from You this year.
You are my well-wisher and friend who always helps me if i need good advice.
You really "walk your talk" not just instruct the devotees but You are a very strict follower of Srila Prabhupada. You get up and chant your rounds early, attend Mangala arati everyday and decrease your sleeping and eating day by day.

             HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. The regular Japa workshop from 1.30-3.30AM we were able to keep strictly,  but when we were alone in Tennessee we were late for Mangala arati some days. Also, we try not to eat too much but we still have to work more on that.
 

I feel myself very fortunate to get in touch with you.

     HpS - We feel fortunate when we hear from you and your good family and friends!
 

By your mercy i can understand so many things clearer than before. Your letters are life savers always. You said sometimes we have to leave our centre for an other one to appreciate it. It's right.
We moved to England and now we see the so many good things what we got from our yatra.
You asked me to stay in Hungary and preach during lunchtime. I work on it but now we have better opportunities here in England, although i'm sure there comes a time when we will move back to Hungary.
I hope once not just You will help me but i also can be on your assistance.
I don't have experience in the university programs but i would be happy to arrange a program here in Manchester or in Hungary in the future. Please let me know if i can help You somehow or other.

Thank you very much for your association.

Your servant,
Sri Radhe devi dasi

              HpS - Jaya!  Thank you sooo much! Just be Krsna conscious. Just keep looking for the preaching opportunities that Krsna sends. Keep perspective how to do the most efficient Sankirtan by frequently calling, "HARE KRSNA / HARE RAMA"!

VYASA PUJA OFFERING

10 years, 4 months ago by balabhadra dasa in Special Category B

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet;

All glories to his divine grace, Srila Prabhupada.  

I have been wanting to take some time out to write some meaningful words to you, but witing is something that does not come easily for me.  I am easily distracted for the most part, because I don't always know how to say what is in my heart.  I want to express so much gratitude for your kindness when you come to our home, but I don't want it to sound like cheap flattery;

Showing gratitude is not something that I do lightly.  Yet, with your vyasa puja observance upon us, I am feeling compelled and inspired to try and share something here and now, during the quiet moments when everyone is asleep, about how my devotional service has been lately.  I heard once that a devotee can offer his admission of weaknesses and failures as an offering unto the spiritual master, and not just his achievements.  So I thought that since I have plenty of weaknesses and failures, that this would be a good place to start.

Whilst we do still have daily morning and evening sadhana in our home, there are many mornings when I feel lazy and therefore am not alert to the importance of the early start of mangala hours; As such there is no punctuality in either the morning or evening programs in our home.  In spite of years of endeavoring to practice Krishna consciousness, in my heart I still feel so much contamination of the material energy, always contemplating sense gratification.  And even though I am fully convinced that I will be a devotee for life, I haven't the slightest inclination and make any significant sacrifice outside of my comfort zone; I can't say if it is laziness, or lack of true faith, or lack of devotee association: Or all of these things.  Lately, we have had some really ecstatic kirtanas in our home each week for the past 6 weeks.  But then the devotees leave, and the normal pattern of the material energy returns into our daily existence, and it seems like I find myself beating my head against the wall.   At times I contemplate going on some spiritual retreat, but then I easily talk myself out of it, feeling it is too much trouble and how I can't just leave my wife alone to deal with the economic struggles.  When the GBC came to Boise last spring, we invited the entire community of devotees to join us for a lunch program, and they all came, but it wasn't without total anxiety and reservation on my part.  And when I visited the temple for Janmastami last summer for the first time in so long, I was struggling with so much envy and anxiety, that I only stayed long enough to witness and participate in the Sundara arotika, and then went home.

I can say for sure that when I am engaged in my morning sadhana, much of the time I am alone, and it is in those moments that I am able to hear more attentively the meanings of the prayers that we chant every day: Such as "the lotus feet of the spiritual master....I bow down to his lotus feet with great awe and reverance."  And I can understand, at least in some part, that accepting the shelter of the spiritual master is not merely some formality, but an absolute essential.  I can also understand that I don't know how to show such deep, genuine, heartfelt respect.  At best, I can only act out some show of respect superficially.  When I hear myself uttering these translations, I sometimes reflect on how much you have to sacrifice your own life in the service of Srila Prabhupada, and I wish that I had even an ounce of such dedication: If I did, then I would be an inspiration to others.  I can understand that I am in great need of your mercy, if there is to be any hope for me in my Krishna consciousness.  So I pray that you not forget me in your own prayers to Srila Prabhupada, that you continue to bless our home with you future visits to the Boise community, and that you kindly accept my humble efforts and meager words as an offering, for my own purification.

Your lowly servant,

Balabhadra dasa

                  HpS - ASA - Jaya!!!!   AGtSP. We don't have much to say after such an intense offering. We are in Argentina with a little headache growing. I think it is in part from the computer screen and part from the lack of oxygen in our basment room. So I opened the windows (with a hammer) and now the mosquitos will drift in one or two. 

Ha!  Ha!  Hare!
I don't feel much ahead of you in your advancement: Comfort zone, anxiety about institutional problems etc. My only effort is to chant good rounds. Get association by tele-communication. For example, get a Japa partner and check in by Twitter or telephone, and do the same for Mangala arati and SB!
We hope to see you soon. Thank you for your inspiration. It is a reality for us.
