Kind of Urgent... Rukmini dd's News - Part 2

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!


In response to your question in the previous letter, my mother Tarangaksi dd and my sister Devahuti are currently in New Vrajamandala. I'm living in Graz, a city in the south of Austria [Photo 1].


More than a month ago, I asked Maharaja Yadunandana for permission to leave New Vrajamandala, as I wanted to develop my teaching career. After the Gurukula closed last year, I performed various services for Radha Govindacandra. However, I began to strongly long to reconnect with teaching and being surrounded by children. I found an opportunity here in Austria to support an alternative school, and it has been a wonderful experience!! [Photo 2]. What I love most about my work is connecting with children, they come from different backgrounds and some of them possess incredible wisdom. I'll stay here until the end of June.


HpS - Are you in touch with Purnamasi Devi Dasi? She is doing so much similar work in Madrid. Jayanta Das' good wife.

Also, of course the grand Waldorf Acharya, Patraka Das.

Changing the world!


On the other hand, I have some important news to share with you. At the beginning of this year, I applied for a master's degree program in Education in Finland, following the recommendation of my family. Finland is known for having one of the best educational systems in the world. Recently, I was informed that I have been accepted and even awarded a scholarship. The program will begin this August and will last for 2 years. While many have congratulated me on this great opportunity, I'm feeling a bit worried. Finland has a very particular climate, with very few hours of sunlight during the winter. Additionally, there are no ISKCON temples or preaching centres in the city where the University is located. I know that the program will require a lot of dedication, and I recall when I was studying at the University in Peru, I completely neglected my spiritual life due to the demands of my studies. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. How can I know if this master's degree will contribute to my service to Krishna, You, and Srila Prabhupada? Ultimately, this is the most important thing to me, and I do not want to pursue a degree solely for obtaining a title or earning money. How can I maintain my sadhana and have a good association while living in a distant city and for a long time?


Thank you very much for reading this letter and I apologize for my offenses.


Trying to be your disciple,

Rukmini Devi Dasi


HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Wonderful. Fin Land.

Just being accepted is a great honor.

Bhadra rupa Das went down a similar line.

Remember him.

He came out as a member of the United Nations.

Yet, it was

hard

work!


Maybe contact him.

Talk with your family.

I think I have the same fears that you do, that you will go insane and starting eating cookies cooked by Karmis.

and turn into a frog

🐸 🐸 🐸

then eating flies.


One alternative is to try it out.

Even let your school know your situation.

After one year you can have better idea.

Beyond that I do not know.

Talk to the Purnamasi!!

ALL GLORIES TO SRI SRI GURU AND GAURANGA!

PAMHO AGTSP!


Hare Krishna Maharaj! How r u?


HpS/ASA - We, agtSP, are eternal, but our body is struggling with strong allergy. 😃


I’ve been a kind of busy and couldn’t do the X (Twitter) sign up in order to follow u. So I’m going to catch up with your news.


ASA - Very nice!


So I stopped smoking like a month or so, and been following again the 4 principles. I prayed to Krishna and took shelter in Srimad Bhagavatam, and my sorrows were gone. So that harsh trip left me with some new add-ons to my sadhana, now, whenever I feel kind of down, I read the Bhagavatam, or play some devotional music (that last one in particular has been my shelter lately) and always feel that my energies are renewed.


ASA - 💪💪💪🐒



So I keep doing Kirtan every morning, and chanting the 16 rounds, trying to chant boldly, like to suggested me. My life has been better overall.


I’m feeling more confident regarding my child’s custody trial, I have an audience with the judge, my child and her mother this coming week, so I would like to please ask for your mercy and blessings so I can be Krishna’s instrument in court.


Yesterday I visited ISKCON Buenos Aires and was missing your classes in that temple, do you have any plans to visit us?


I’ll try to attend some of your online classes again, the other day I watch one of them in which you were showing your drawings, which I really liked!


Well hope Maharaj you are always well!!!

thanks again for encouraging me in this path!

Please accept my obeisances!

HK!

HpS - You can see our travel plans etc at www.JayaRama.US/news.htm and in the [X] posts!! 🙂

your news is really super. we expect you to be traveling and preaching like Narada Muni if you continue with this Bhagavata road!!!

Hope your Sankirtan with your daughter is and the whole family is increasing.

You integrated with BsAs temple much?

LAD ABOUT INVITATION TO A VIRTUAL CONGRESS IN ARGENTINA

Hare Krishna, dear gurudev, Pamho, AGTSP!

This is the letter from a very nice devotee from Argentina that happen to be my student.


Hare Krishna, my obeisances, respected Maharaja:

 

                                                    I am writing to you Maharaja for the invitation to a Congress at the University where I study. My name is Dhenupal das and I am finishing my thesis to receive my Bachelor's degree, together with my Director Dr. Engineer Vincitorio Fabio, Tec. Gabriela Barja, Srivas Takhur das, Ramananda das, from other Universities, in Argentina (UTN, UNL, UDAM) , Dr Giovanni Pelaez Perú (USAN of Arequipa) and Mexico Mg. Biologist Maria Acosta (Arkansas State University, Querátaro Campus, Mexico) we are intervening directly with the students, the title of the work is “Supporting University Students with Yoga Micro-Tools”, and in this way we were able to present ourselves at an Education Congress in Innovation”, 2023, with great success, with its publication. We will attach a link where you will see a video that was presented at the Congress. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rh3sa-Dp1ffwUsvW6VPKwFpTndf5ezbC/view?usp=sharing


The point is that after this study was carried out, we continue to do the research more specifically in different places and now that we are at a higher level of relationships.


we see the good opportunity to hold a Congress, and that is why I am writing to you, first to me. master of Bhakti Shastri and Pada Padma, Lakmana Agraha gives his disciple.

There are three topics to be discussed in Congress:

SCIENCE:  PH. HRIDAYANANDA DAS GOSWAMI

EDUCATION: PH. KRISHNA KSHETRA SWAMI

INNOVATION: PH.HANUMAN PRESAKA SWAMI

That any of the topics to be discussed you can speak to an audience entirely of students, professors and authorities of the Universities mentioned above. It is not aimed at devotees.


We are also inviting researchers who have a special empathy in Social Sciences, Economics (Minister of Economy of my province), Human Sciences, Psychology of Carl Jung, Engineers, Biologists, specialists of the 2030 Agenda, who are linked by scientific contacts , from various countries.

And as we understand that we also have educated devotees whom we know well for their oratory and intelligence and professionalism, such as Parampadam das (Argentina, with his thesis that he received as a Bachelor), Satyaki das (Argentina- National University of Rosario), each devotee will be selected and invited with certain evaluation criteria proposed by the same organization. Arjuna Sakha das (Argentina), who has a degree in communication, will be in charge of presenting the event.

There are not always opportunities to coordinate, carry out, execute, and also through a zoom and in-person platform.

The proposed date is in October the first week, it will be two consecutive days: 1/8/2024 and 2/8/2024. (August 1st and 2nd)


hps - agtSP. thank you, so much. as you can see we are taking a little time to answer our mail unless it gets pushed under our nose as priority.

"...The proposed date is in October the first week..." but then you list August 1st and 2nd?

In August we will be in USA with all internet facility.

In October we will be in Spain or India.


Topic we have developed is: Science, Psyche and Spirituality - The encounter of Prof. Carl Gustav Jung with the Bhaktisiddhanta of classical India.


O.K.?



We do not do it on another date because we are invited by another conference to be held in September, in different parts of the country that the team must attend.

HDG, already gave us his ok to participate in it, from KKS with him we started a small special course for devotees of his recent research and we await your response in these days and we would really like you to confirm us. In this way we will continue in this communication process.

My most respected obeisances,

 Dhenupal das

Hare Krishna!



HpS - Thank you LaD... Please forward the letter!

Hare Krishna Gurudev

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances

All glories be to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you Gurudev


Thank you for your response to my previous letter, Gurudev https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14875/


Precisely with what you tell me in your response, I am processing my passport to be able to travel to Spain and be able to have your association... Gurudev please give me your blessings to be able to travel to Spain and have your association.


HpS/ ASA - HAre KRsnA!!! 🙂


Prahlada Maharaja said SB 7.9.24: "My dear Lord, now I have complete experience concerning the worldly opulence, mystic power, longevity and other material pleasures enjoyed by all living entities, from Lord Brahmā down to the ant. As powerful time, You destroy them all. Therefore, because of my experience, I do not wish to possess them. My dear Lord, I request You to place me in touch with Your pure devotee and let me serve him as a sincere servant." 🙏🙏🙏


I hope everything goes well with your ticket and is resolved.


HpS - It was! It was the confusion of the banks in Europe talking to the Banks in USA???


Gurudev, in the previous letter you say: "Your Sankirtan etc. sounds like you are on the right path. Just try to improve it even daily. Try to do your own individual, eternal work, service to Krsna and Srila Prabhupada, and try to develop Sankirtan relations to others, institutionally and friendly. Play you instrument in the orchestra, but try to harmonize, inspire, others in their parts."

Sorry Gurudev, but I couldn't quite understand what you were telling me, sorry... could you explain a little more?


HpS - Try looking at NoI 3, Near the end of the purport is about Niscayad. Sticking to and improving, not changing the path.


Achintya bheda a bheda. Realize that every horn in the orchestra is essential, but without the orchestra the individual horn has not got much meaning.


Answering your question, I started Bhakti Vaivabha with Param Padam prabhu. Do you think it's OK?


HpS - I think so. I have not had much contact with Prabhu and his program for a long time. Anything which gets us to read Prabhupada's books (systematically) is great!!

My respects to him.


Thanks for everything Gurudev, I hope to see you in Spain or wherever.


Trying to find my place in the world and under your lotus feet...

HpS - AgtSP!!!!!

Thank you for letter!

Deva Vrata das

Hare Krsna Gurudev

Por favor acepte mi humildes y respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada 

Todas las glorias a usted Gurudev


Gracias por su respuesta a mi carta anterior, Gurudev https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14875/


justamente con lo que me cuentas en la respuesta, estoy tramitando mi pasaporte para poder viajar a España y poder tener tu asociación... Gurudev por favor deme su bendiciones para poder viajar a España y poder tener su asociación.

Prahlada Maharaja dijo SB 7.9.24: "Mi querido Señor, ahora poseo una experiencia completa acerca de la opulencia mundana, el poder místico, la longevidad y otros placeres materiales de que disfrutan todas las entidades vivientes, desde el Señor Brahmā hasta la hormiga. Todo eso lo destruyes Tú en Tu poderosa forma del tiempo. Por lo tanto, y gracias a mi experiencia, no deseo poseer nada de eso. Mi querido Señor, Te pido que me pongas en contacto con Tu devoto puro y me permitas servirle como un sirviente sincero."🙏🙏🙏


Espero que todo vaya bien con tu pasaje y se solucione.


Gurudev, en la carta anterior tu dices: "Tu Sankirtan, etc. parece que estás en el camino correcto. Intenta mejorarlo incluso a diario. Trate de hacer su propio trabajo individual y eterno, servicio a Krsna y Srila Prabhupada, y trate de desarrollar relaciones de Sankirtan con los demás, institucionalmente y amistosamente. Toca tu instrumento en la orquesta, pero intenta armonizar e inspirar a los demás en sus partes."

Disculpa Gurudev, pero no pude entender bien lo que me dices, disculpas... ¿me podrías explicar un poco más?


Respondiendo a tu pregunta, el Bhakti Vaivabha lo comencé con Param Padam prabhu. ¿Te parece bien?


Gracias por todo Gurudev, Espero verte en España o donde sea.


Tratando de encontrar mi lugar en el mundo y bajo tus pies de loto...
