El científico y el santo
~ por Jagattarini Devi DasiSe conocieron un día de 1973. El científico estaba interesado en la naturaleza y la alegría del descubrimiento, mientras que el santo quería informarle de que había algo mucho más importante por descubrir.Había una joven en el grupo que asistió a mi charla anoche sobre este tema. Ella estaba serena, tranquila y seria. Ella había venido con su madre, claramente una persona reflexiva como ella. Después de la charla, Holly, ella misma científica, quiso hablar conmigo.El santo, que habló con el científico tantos años antes, lo había criticado por su estudio de la hierba diciéndole que la hierba crecía sin ayuda y sin su ayuda, por lo que estaba perdiendo el tiempo con su estudio.Ahora sentada frente a mí, Holly, quería objetar cortésmente esta perspectiva."Estudiar el césped puede ser útil de muchas maneras".Mientras hablábamos, le recordé las sabias palabras finales del santo. Él dijo.Es mucho más importante estudiarse a sí mismo. Este es un estudio real y es profundamente urgente.En este punto estuvimos totalmente de acuerdo.Sin embargo, el autoestudio real va más allá del yoga, la terapia, la psicología, la biología ...La visión del santo fue mucho más penetrante que eso. Habló del ser eterno que ocupa un cuerpo, que se olvida de sí mismo en nuestra ajetreada vida activa diaria, que está más allá de la cobertura física externa o incluso de los pensamientos.Sin el autoconocimiento, es cierto que todos nuestros estudios externos y títulos y premios Nobel pertenecen a diferentes aspectos de la materia, mientras que el yo espiritual no se considera.Solo para dejar el punto muy claro, al final el santo le dio un ejemplo al científico de un hombre que se lanza al río para salvar a un hombre que se está ahogando y nada de regreso a la orilla agarrando solo su camisa y su abrigo pensando que lo ha salvado cuando de hecho, dejó que el hombre se ahogara.Cuan profundo.Holly y yo nos miramos y estuvimos de acuerdo. El santo tenía razón. Sin entendernos a nosotros mismos, ¿acaso todos nuestros estudios son en realidad una pérdida de tiempo?Punto simple, pero profundamente profundo.
Jagattarini Devi Dasi se unió a ISKCON en 1970 cuando viajó a Los Ángeles y conoció a Srila Prabhupada. Había sido una actriz muy conocida y había estado en una película con Mick Jagger. Después de conocer a Srila Prabhupada allí, abandonó su lucrativa carrera como actriz y decidió dedicar su vida al servicio de la misión de su gurú. En 1970, ella y su esposo, Bhurijan Prabhu, abrieron un templo en Hong Kong. Más tarde, en la granja Gita Nagari en Pensilvania, EE. UU., utilizó su talento para crear espectáculos de marionetas, que se produjeron en ISKCON Television. Más tarde, ella y su esposo sirvieron en Bhaktivedanta Gurukula en Vrndavan, India, donde estudió la cultura del distrito de Vraj o Vrndavan. Desde 1996, han vivido en su hogar natal de Perth, Australia. En 1998, comenzó a crear dioramas en miniatura en una exposición llamada Gopinatha Dham que representa los pasatiempos de Krsna en Vrndavan.
The Scientist and the Saint
~by Jagattarini Devi Dasi
They met one day in 1973. The scientist was interested in nature and the joy of discovery while the saint wanted to inform him that there was something far more important to discover.There was a young girl in the group who attended my talk last night on this topic. She was, self composed, calm and serious. She'd come with her mother clearly a thoughtful person like herself. After the talk, Holly, herself a scientist, wanted to speak with meThe saint, who spoke to the scientist so many years before had criticized him for his study of grass telling him that grass grew unaided without his help, and so he was wasting time with his study.Now sitting before me Holly, wanted to politely object to this perspective."Studying grass can be useful in so many ways."As we spoke I reminded her of the final wise words of the saint. He said.It is far more important to study yourself. This is real study, and it is deeply urgent.On this point we fully agreed. Yet real self-study goes beyond yoga, therapy, psychology, biology....The saint's vision was far more penetrating than that. He spoke of the eternal being who occupies a body, who is self forgotten in our busy daily active life.The self who is beyond both the outer physical covering or even thoughts.Without self knowledge it is true that all our external studies and degrees and Nobel prizes pertain to different aspects of matter while the spiritual self is not considered.Just to make the point very very clear, at the end the saint provided an example for the scientist of a man who jumps into the river to save a drowning man and swims back to shore grasping only his shirt and coat thinking he has saved him when factually he left the man to drown.How profound.Holly and I sat looking at each other and agreed. The saint was correct. Without understanding ourselves perhaps all our studies are actually a waste of time?Simple point, yet deeply profound.

Sintiendo libremente
~ por Pranada ComtoisYasoda miró a Krsna, que tenía la tez de un delicado zafiro azul. Todos sus sentidos se convirtieron en ojos para adorar su exquisita forma de abundante dulzura. Se quedó atónita, el éxtasis recorrió su cuerpo y lágrimas afectuosas corrieron por su rostro.Al enterarse del nacimiento de Krsna, Nanda salió corriendo jubilosamente del establo hacia la sala de partos. Rohini lo recibió en la puerta de Yasoda. Cuando vio el rostro de Krsna, con grandes ojos dirigidos hacia sus oídos, con sus labios rojo cereza, nariz de botón y orejas perfectas, Nanda se quedó inmóvil, lleno de la embriagadora presencia de la suprema bienaventuranza encarnada. Rohini esperó a que Nanda volviera a sus sentidos, luego lo hizo sentarse y colocó suavemente a Krsna en su regazo. Nanda abrazó tiernamente a su hijo como una joya invaluable, saboreando la belleza de su forma, bebiendo el agradable néctar de su rostro, oliendo la fragancia de su cabeza con sus rizos negros. El afecto que Nanda tenía por su hijo y su dicha asombró a todos los presentes.La noticia del nacimiento de Krsna y la felicidad sin precedentes de sus padres se difundió rápidamente en Gokula. Las mujeres, que habían abandonado sus joyas por el dolor porque Yasoda no había tenido hijos durante tanto tiempo, ahora se adornaban con sus mejores piezas y corrían hacia la nueva madre. Muchos de ellos convergieron en el camino, riendo y compartiendo exclamaciones de asombro mientras dejaban un rastro de flores fragantes que caían de sus decoradas trenzas danzantes. Y los hombres también vinieron, corriendo hacia adelante. Todos ellos vibrantes de amor espontáneo por el precioso Krsna, su misma vida.Todos llenaron sus ojos de deleite levantando la manta sobre Krsna y tocándolo mientras sonreían. Una, dos, cuatro u ocho personas, solas o en parejas, en grupos o muchos grupos, jóvenes y ancianos entraron a la casa para ver al bebé Krsna.Se reunieron en el patio de Nanda y se rociaron con ghee, yogur y cúrcuma. Bailaron y cantaron con alegre abandono. Pronto empezaron a bañarse exuberantemente con leche. Luego, algunos hombres arrojaron a otros hombres en grandes ollas de yogur y todos se rieron de todo corazón abrumados por el éxtasis al dar la bienvenida a Krsna.Al escuchar esta alegría irrestricta y abundante júbilo, me sumergí en su alegría amplia e ilimitada y me apoderó el deseo de conocer a Krsna; amar a Krsna. Me maravillé de las liberales emociones de los pastores. Quería sentir libremente, sentir sin peligro así. Sobre todo le tengo miedo a mis sentimientos; me han metido en muchos problemas. Y el apego a la materia no es solo la causa de mi esclavitud, sino que es agonizante.Sentí una punzada de envidia. Los residentes de Vraja pueden sentir sin peligro, pensé. Son capaces de expresar completamente sus emociones sin preocuparse de que su apego, su apego que todo lo consume y adormece la mente, los arrastrará a la separación del oscuro interés propio y el samsara. Estaba poseída por el deseo de sentir libremente y ahogarme en la alegría de ese amor puro.Para sentir libremente, para sentir sin peligro, para sentir de verdad, debemos elegir conscientemente nuestro objeto de amor. Requerimos un objeto de amor perfecto.Sabemos lo que sucede cuando no amamos a la Persona Suprema. Nuestro amor nunca arde en llamas o se marchita en la vid antes de que florezca su delicadeza o somos traicionados, abusados, descuidados o abandonados. Para tener la experiencia que dar es recibir, debemos reposar nuestro amor en Krsna, el perfecto objeto del amor.Esta es la cosa. Krsna quiere nuestro propio yo. Todo. Krsna ama mucho; existe para amar y se sumerge completamente en las relaciones amorosas. Se entrega plenamente a quienes lo aman. Darle a Krsna es siempre recibir porque él da más de lo que tenemos para ofrecerle. Solo mirarlo envía intensas oleadas de éxtasis por todo el cuerpo del devoto. ¡Imagínese el éxtasis de tener intercambios diarios de amor con una persona así! Pero para tener su amor, poseerlo en el amor, tenemos que darlo todo. Nuestro propio yo. Nada retenido. Él está todo adentro; espera lo mismo de nosotros. Debemos llegar a esto: amaré desenfrenado; Amaré a Krsna sin restricciones, sin motivación egoísta, sin interrupción.Y "ese es el problema". Miramos al atractivo Krsna y decimos: "No estoy tan segura". (Probablemente no estemos pensando claramente en lo que la muerte nos permitirá aferrarnos).Y la vida nos mira y dice: "Déjame ayudarte con eso". Y procede a mordernos aquí, desgarrarnos allá, desgastarnos aquí abajo, nos aserra allá.Y nuestros amores nos miran y dicen: "No estoy tan seguro", y con el corazón roto buscamos el próximo amor.Estos impulsos negativos pueden impulsarnos hacia el amor puro por Krsna, si al mismo tiempo nos dedicamos a la práctica de Bhakti de mantenernos en compañía de aquellos que están desarrollando su amor por Krsna, y permitimos que Krsna nazca en nuestros corazones al escuchar, leer, hablar y cantar sobre Krsna, quien es un océano de ilimitadas buenas cualidades, quien es la forma misma de la verdad y la belleza, quien es el amante supremo, quien es nuestro amigo eterno, quien es feliz dando alegría a los demás, quien teje su obertura como el encantador flautista - que nos espera.

Feeling Freely
~by Pranada Comtois
Yasoda looked at Krsna, who had the complexion of a delicate blue sapphire. All her senses became eyes to worship his exquisite form of abundant sweetness. She became stunned, ecstasy surged throughout her body, and affectionate tears streamed down her face. On hearing of Krsna’s birth, Nanda jubilantly dashed from the cowshed toward the birth room. Rohini greeted him at Yasoda’s door. When he saw Krsna’s face – with large eyes sweeping toward his ears, with his cherry red lips, button nose, and perfect ears – Nanda became motionless, filled with the intoxicating presence of supreme bliss incarnate. Rohini waited for Nanda to come back to his senses, then had him sit down, and gently placed Krsna on his lap. Nanda tenderly held his son like a priceless jewel, tasting the beauty of his form, drinking the pleasing nectar of his face, smelling the fragrance of his head with its black curly locks. The affection Nanda had for his son and his bliss astonished everyone present.Word of Krsna’s birth and his parent’s unprecedented happiness spread rapidly in Gokula. Women, who had abandoned their jewelry in grief because Yasoda had been childless for so long, now adorned themselves with their finest pieces and hurried toward the new mother. Many of them converged on the road, laughing and sharing exclamations of wonder as they left a trail of fragrant flowers that fell from their decorated dancing braids. And the men came too, rushing forward. All of them vibrant with spontaneous love for precious Krsna, their very life.Everyone filled their eyes with delight by lifting the blanket on Krsna and touching him while smiling. One, two, four, or eight people, alone or in pairs, in groups or many groups, youths and elders entered the house to see baby Krsna. They joined together in Nanda’s courtyard and sprinkled each other with ghee, yogurt, and turmeric. They danced and sang with joyous abandon. Soon they began exuberantly showering each other with milk. Then some men threw other men into large pots of yogurt and everyone laughed heartily overcome with ecstasy in welcoming Krsna. Hearing of this unrestricted merriment and abundant jubilation, I submerged in their broad, boundless joy and was seized with a desire to know Krsna; to love Krsna. I marveled at the cowherds’ liberal emotions. I wanted to freely feel, safely feel like that. Mostly I’m afraid of my feelings; they’ve gotten me into lots of trouble. And attachment to matter is not only the cause of my bondage, but it’s agonizing.I felt a twinge of envy. The residents of Vraja are able to safely feel, I thought. They’re able to fully express emotions without concern that their attachment–their all-consuming, mind-numbing attachment–will drag them into the separateness of dark self-interest and samsara. I was possessed of a desire to feel freely and drown in the joy of that pure love. To feel freely, to feel safely, to feel truly, we must consciously choose our object of love. We require a perfect object of love. We know what happens when we don’t love the Supreme Person. Our love never flames into a blaze or it withers on the vine before it blooms its delicacy or we’re betrayed or abused or neglected or left. To experience that giving is receiving we must repose our love in Krsna, the perfect object of love. This is the thing. Krsna wants our very self. Everything. Krsna loves much; he exists to love and immerses himself completely in loving relationships. He gives himself fully to those who love him. Giving to Krsna is always receiving because he gives more than we have to offer him. Just looking at him sends intense waves of ecstasy throughout the devotee’s body. Imagine the ecstasy of having daily exchanges of love with such a person! But to have his love, to own him in love, we have to give everything. Our very self. Nothing held back. He is all in; he expects the same of us. We must come to this: I will love unbridled; I will love Krsna unrestrained without selfish motivation, without interruption.And “that’s the rub.” We look at attractive Krsna and say, “I’m not so sure.” (We’re probably not thinking clearly about what Death will allow us to hold onto.)And life looks at us and says, “Let me help you with that.” And proceeds to nip at us here, tear at us there, wear on us under here, saw on us over there. And our loves look at us and say, “I’m not so sure,” and heartbroken we look for the next love.These negative impetuses can impel us toward pure love of Krsna–if we simultaneously engage in the Bhakti practice of keeping company with those who are developing their love for Krsna, and we allow Krsna to take birth in our hearts by hearing about, reading about, speaking about, and singing about Krsna, who is an ocean of unlimited good qualities, who is the very form of truth and beauty, who is the supreme lover, who is our undying friend, who is happy in giving joy to others, who weaves his overture as the charming flute-player – who is waiting for us.

Appearance Day of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur
~by Rukmini Walker
Wednesday, March 3rd is the holy Appearance Day of Srila Prabhupada's beloved Guru Maharaj, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Maharaj.He was the brilliant son of the eminent Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur, who pioneered Krsna Bhakti in the Western world by sending his book, The Life and Precepts of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to scholars and universities in the West.Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur was a powerful acarya (great teacher), and a genius as an author and orator in English, Bengali and Sanskrit. He was also a revolutionary and a saint. He was famous as the “simha guru”, or lion guru, because of his fearless cutting down of sectarian caste-conscious opposition and intolerance to the broad-minded and inclusive path of Bhakti, as taught by his own father and by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.Particularly of interest to our readers will be his cogent and egalitarian thoughts on Krsna conscious marriage. Writing perhaps a hundred years ago, in the context of India at that time, how revolutionary his words sound today…“The cardinal principle of grhastha asram (Krsna conscious marriage) is that no one may be the owner of any property or service of another. Everyone is only a servant whose activities are ever in the service of the Lord. Similarly, the sole object of everyone’s service as the only master, only friend, only son, and only consort is Krsna.Marrying and giving in marriage do not give rise to any rights of a master either to the husband or to the wife. Men and women are joined in wedlock for the purpose of serving each other in the performance of the joint service of Krsna. The wife is not an object of enjoyment of the husband, nor vice versa…They choose for their partners only such persons who serve God better than themselves. They offer themselves to be accepted by their partners for the favor of being allowed to share in their superior service of Hari. Neither the husband nor the wife should claim the services of his or her partner on their own account. Both of them are only to offer their services if and when their partner is pleased to permit them to share their service of Hari. None of them can force their partners to serve them.” (quoted from The Harmonist, “Relations Between the Sexes”)
All the best,Día de aparición de Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur
~ por Rukmini Walker El miércoles 3 de marzo es el día sagrado de la aparición del amado Guru Maharaj de Srila Prabhupada, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Maharaj.Fue el brillante hijo del eminente Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur, quien fue el pionero de Krsna Bhakti en el mundo occidental al enviar su libro, La vida y los preceptos de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu a eruditos y universidades en Occidente.Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur fue un poderoso acarya (gran maestro) y un genio como autor y orador en inglés, bengalí y sánscrito. También fue un revolucionario y un santo. Era famoso como el "gurú simha", o gurú león, debido a su valiente eliminación de la oposición sectaria consciente de las castas y la intolerancia al camino amplio e inclusivo del Bhakti, como lo enseñó su propio padre y Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.De particular interés para nuestros lectores serán sus pensamientos convincentes e igualitarios sobre el matrimonio consciente de Krsna. Escribiendo quizás hace cien años, en el contexto de la India en ese momento, cuán revolucionarias suenan sus palabras hoy ...“El principio cardinal del grhastha asram (matrimonio consciente de Krsna) es que nadie puede ser dueño de ninguna propiedad o servicio de otro. Todo el mundo es sólo un sirviente cuyas actividades están siempre al servicio del Señor. De manera similar, el único objeto del servicio de todos como el único maestro, el único amigo, el único hijo y el único consorte es Krsna.Casarse y dar en matrimonio no da lugar a ningún derecho del amo ni al marido ni a la mujer. Los hombres y las mujeres se unen en matrimonio con el propósito de servirse el uno al otro en el desempeño del servicio conjunto de Krsna. La esposa no es objeto de disfrute del marido, ni viceversa ...Eligen para sus socios solo a las personas que sirven a Dios mejor que ellos mismos. Se ofrecen a ser aceptados por sus socios por el favor de poder compartir su servicio superior de Hari. Ni el esposo ni la esposa deben reclamar los servicios de su pareja por su propia cuenta. Ambos solo deben ofrecer sus servicios si y cuando su socio se complazca en permitirles compartir su servicio de Hari. Ninguno de ellos puede obligar a sus socios a servirles ". (citado de The Harmonist, "Relaciones entro los Sexos")Todo lo mejor,Rukmini Walker
The Dark Light
~by Ananda Vrindavan devi
---------------------------------
Can it be a good thing, this darkness?
A kind of light that shows me things
I like to hide from in broad daylight
A kind of cover that lets me bring
Such things up that otherwise
Might be all too much to see?
The night has it’s treasures, the dark pain
Cuts through the emptiness of pretence
There will always be dawn but don’t rush there
Deep spiritual knowing can be found in the
Dark, empty, cold and lonely nights of the soul.
Krishna can be found there, in the longing for truth
The need for shelter, the sweet surrender of no more
To give, to fight, to figure it all out alone.
Pain and suffering are good, the sages say
For they can bring us to places we need to go
Beyond the mind and ego
And into the company of those who know.
Anoche la Muerte vino por mí
Un querido amigo nuestro, llamado Karnamrita Das, falleció hace varios días. Había estado luchando contra un cáncer terminal durante mucho tiempo. Fue un devoto amable y amigo de muchos. Tenía mucho por lo que vivir: una esposa, un hijo y una nuera, queridos, sabios y devotos…. Pero luego tuvo este sueño ... Por favor, lea esto y gane fe en su progreso paso a paso en el sendero del Bhakti.Todo lo mejor,Rukmini
por Karnamrita Das Vi a la Muerte en mi sueño, sin sentir miedo, tenía curiosidad por verla.Acercándose, señaló con su huesuda y pálida mano hacia mí.Su otra palma levantada en pose de bendición donde estaba escrito, el número 65, ¡mi edad!Luego, con ambas manos, señaló al cielo y se encogió los hombros.Su hoz y su túnica oscura se transformaron.Mostró su verdadero ser, como un sabio radiante y dichoso.Sonriendo encantadoramente, dijo: “La gente me viste con su miedo, pensando que he venido a destruirlos y llevarse todo.Puedes verme como soy, porque no tienes miedo y vives la vida de devoción piadosa, la vida del alma ".“La muerte solo pertenece al cuerpo, no tiene nada que ver con el alma. Solo vengo a ayudar a las almas a tener otra oportunidad en forma física.La vida es una gran bendición para realizar el alma y a Dios, pero las almas se cubren y se esconden detrás del disfraz de la materia.La gente me teme por sus falsos apegos a cosas temporales que en realidad son la causa de todo su sufrimiento, una gran ironía.No conocen el propósito de la vida y la muerte, y que la vida física es corta por una muy buena razón.Sin saber que esta gente se queja de cosas superficiales en lugar de buscar respuestas por qué la vida es temporal, para qué es la vida y por qué hay nacimiento, muerte, enfermedad, vejez, alegría y dolor, y un sentimiento de incompletitud.“Las almas vestidas físicamente se aferran a cosas falsas que no tienen nada que ver con ellas mismas como alma, pensando que son un cuerpo, que las cosas materiales les pertenecen, que las relaciones corporales y las designaciones las definen, que los parientes solo provienen de lazos de sangre—pero en realidad cada ser es nuestro pariente ya que todos somos hijos del mismo Dios, nuestra Fuente.“Estudiar esto es el plan de estudios de la vida, realizarlo, es conocimiento verdadero. Uno no puede esperar hasta el momento de la muerte para contemplar esto, sino que debe estudiarlo en la vida, esforzándose por vivir la vida del alma.“Los grandes profetas de todos los tiempos vinieron para enseñar esto: siguiendo su ejemplo, debes compartir esta sabiduría sobre el uso apropiado de esta vida física temporal; la vida real es eterna en la gran celebración gozosa de Dios; encontramos significado y propósito en el espíritu; y todo lo que buscamos ya está dentro.“Debes recordar que puedes morir hoy, o mañana, o antes de cumplir 66, o en veinte años.No importa si vives la vida del alma. Para alguien verdaderamente devoto de Dios, la vida y la muerte son lo mismo, en la medida en que viva el “propósito del alma” de la vida y recuerde a Dios.“Esta verdad debe elegirse momento a momento hasta que esté completamente purificado de la influencia de la materia.Debes enseñar por quién eres y tus ideales más elevados.Deja que la luz de tu alma te ilumine y te guíe en cada paso y ayude a las almas receptivas a despertar a su potencial divino o lo que buscan sin saberlo. Por lo tanto, tienes que demostrar lo que están buscando irradiando el gozo, la paz y la sabiduría del alma, y hablar desde el corazón de tu alma al de ellos, esa es la obra de tu vida ahora y siempre ”.¡Entonces me desperté, rezando a Krishna para que me despertara por completo!

A Gift That Was and Wasn't a Gift at the Same Time
~by Jagattarini Devi Dasi
Today a big box arrived. From my window I heard the radio in the postman's van blaring. I wondered who had ordered something that was now appearing. I stopped for a moment to reflect on whether it was something for me.Now that in itself is an interesting topic I will share later.When I came downstairsI saw that there was a large brand new cardboard box sitting neatly on the table. I looked to see who was the fortunate receiver of this gift. It wasn't me, so I proceeded on with my day.But this small event remained with me.Every day I do some prayers and simple worship. I help another member of our community to make an offering. My role is to collect flowers and decorate the small space meant for devotional worship. As I stepped outside to pick the late summer flowers from our garden I noticed the roses which are in full bloom, brilliant orange, white, pink and crimson. It is as if the rose bush is extending these gifts towards me, saying "Please! I have no legs to move myself, so can you give my rose as a gift to the Supreme?"And I reach out with my fingers, which are also a gift, to pick the blooms and place them in my small basket.Then I bring them inside. All gifts from the earth to the plant and the plant to me. I know our ardent analytical physics students might explain things differently, but to me they are gifts of the earth. No more information required.As I came into my place of devotion with the roses, I offered a gift from the earth and the rose bush and most importantly a gift from me.I could not keep my meditation for long but it was long enough to express gratitude to everyone including the post man who came this morning and began the train of thought.-------------------Yes, well here's another reflection seeing the box on the table.It wasn't for me. A small part of me chirped up..."Oh I wish a box that big would come for me."The practical part responded."It can and will. All you have to do is buy something and a box will pop up with your name on it.""But" Another part of my talkative brain responded. "I don't need anything right now.""NO. That's not true!" replied a small voice. " You always need things. Plus it is important to buy things to support the economy."Well that's enough. Why was I even listening to such a silly conversation in the form of thoughts?For a moment when I first saw the big box I mistook it for a gift. But it was far from a gift. It was a transaction. Someone had to pay for it. They brought it. A gift is something that is given not paid for.Hmm.That 's interesting. There's a difference between a transaction and a gift. You can buy as many things as you want, yet when they arrive at your front door they're not gifts. They might be useful but gifts are much more heart touching. Is it love or transactions that you are after? They are very different so don't confuse the two.You cannot buy love. You can buy attention, even sweet words, but love is a gift and it comes from love.-------------------------Now here's another reflection from the post man bringing a big box this morning.I saw it and my spirits momentarily lifted thinking it may be for me. It wasn't,but as I proceeded with my daily routine, I was thoughtful.Here in my hands are the items I use everyday. I am very familiar with them. Here are my routines, that I perform in this way. I can do these tasks quickly, without thinking, while listening to a song. After all efficiency is essential.But is it?Imagine if when I offered my routine service I did so as if I was bringing that big box, full of wonderful surprises and gifts [I mean real gifts not transactions!] and I was fully aware as I was giving them. Imagine if every day was completely different and exciting? A new box lovingly given with focused care. Wow that postman really made my day today!Just the thought that the "known and predictable" could transform into the "new and undiscovered" restored magic to an otherwise formulaec routine.I always welcome such moments. They are made of solid gold.

Un regalo que fue y no fue un regalo al mismo tiempo
~ por Jagattarini Devi Dasi Hoy llegó una gran caja. Desde mi ventana oí a todo volumen la radio de la furgoneta del cartero. Me pregunté quién había ordenado algo que ahora aparecía. Me detuve un momento para reflexionar si era algo para mí.Ahora que en eso mismo es un tema interesante que compartiré más adelante.Cuando bajé, vi que había una caja de cartón nueva y grande colocada ordenadamente sobre la mesa. Miré para ver quién era el afortunado receptor de este regalo. No era yo, así que continué con mi día.Pero este pequeño evento se quedó conmigo.Todos los días hago algunas oraciones y una práctica espiritual sencilla. Ayudo a otro miembro de nuestra comunidad a hacer una ofrenda. Mi función es recolectar flores y decorar el pequeño espacio destinado a la adoración devocional.Cuando salí para recoger las flores de finales de verano de nuestro jardín, noté las rosas que estaban en plena floración, de color naranja brillante, blanco, rosa y carmesí.Es como si el rosal me estuviera extendiendo estos regalos, diciendo"¡Por favor! No tengo piernas para moverme, así que ¿puedes darle mi rosa como regalo al Supremo? "Y extiendo los dedos, que también son un regalo, para recoger las flores y colocarlas en mi canastilla.Luego los traigo adentro. Todos los regalos de la tierra a la planta y la planta a mí.Sé que nuestros ardientes estudiantes de física analítica pueden explicar las cosas de manera diferente, pero para mí son regalos de la tierra. No se requiere más información.Cuando llegué a mi lugar de devoción con las rosas, ofrecí un regalo de la tierra y el rosal y, lo más importante, un regalo mío.No pude mantener mi meditación por mucho tiempo, pero fue suficiente para expresar gratitud a todos, incluido el cartero que vino esta mañana y comenzó el hilo de pensamientos.——————-Sí, bueno, aquí hay otro reflejo al ver la caja sobre la mesa.No fue para mí.Una pequeña parte de mí se animó ..."Oh, me gustaría que viniera una caja tan grande para mí".Respondió la parte práctica.“Si puede y lo hará. Todo lo que tienes que hacer es comprar algo y aparecerá una caja con tu nombre ".“Pero” respondió otra parte de mi cerebro hablador. "No necesito nada en este momento"."NO. ¡Eso no es cierto!" respondió una pequeña voz. “Siempre necesitas cosas. Además, es importante comprar cosas para apoyar la economía ".Bueno, eso es suficiente. ¿Por qué estaba escuchando una conversación tan tonta en forma de pensamientos?Por un momento, cuando vi la caja grande por primera vez, la confundí con un regalo. Pero estaba lejos de ser un regalo. Fue una transacción. Alguien tuvo que pagar por ello. Ellos lo trajeron. Un regalo es algo que no se paga.Hmm.Eso es interesante. Existe una diferencia entre una transacción y un regalo. Puedes comprar tantas cosas como quieras, pero cuando llegan a la puerta de tu casa no son regalos. Pueden ser útiles, pero los regalos son mucho más conmovedores. ¿Es amor o transacciones lo que buscas? Son muy diferentes, así que no confunda los dos.No se puede comprar el amor.Puedes comprar atención, incluso palabras dulces, pero el amor es un regalo y proviene del amor.————————-Ahora, aquí hay otra reflexión del cartero que trajo una caja grande esta mañana.Lo vi y mi ánimo se levantó momentáneamente pensando que podría ser para mí. No fue,pero mientras procedía con mi rutina diaria, estaba pensativa.Aquí en mis manos están los artículos que uso todos los días. Estoy muy familiarizada con ellos. Aquí están mis rutinas, que realizo de esta manera. Puedo hacer estas tareas rápidamente, sin pensar, mientras escucho una canción. Después de todo, la eficiencia es esencial.¿Pero es?Imagínese si cuando ofrecí mi servicio de rutina lo hiciera como si estuviera trayendo esa gran caja, llena de maravillosas sorpresas y obsequios [¡me refiero a obsequios reales, no transacciones!] Y estuviera plenamente consciente de que los estaba dando. Imagínese si cada día fuera completamente diferente y emocionante. Una nueva caja entregada con cariño y cuidado.¡Ese cartero realmente me alegró el día de hoy!La simple idea de que lo "conocido y predecible" pudiera transformarse en lo "nuevo y no descubierto" devolvió la magia a una rutina que de otro modo sería predecible.Siempre doy la bienvenida a esos momentos. Están hechos de oro macizo.
Jagattarini Devi Dasi se unió a ISKCON en 1970 cuando viajó a Los Ángeles y conoció a Srila Prabhupada. Había sido una actriz muy conocida y había estado en una película con Mick Jagger. Después de conocer a Srila Prabhupada allí, abandonó su lucrativa carrera como actriz y decidió dedicar su vida al servicio de la misión de su gurú. En 1970, ella y su esposo, Bhurijan Prabhu, abrieron un templo en Hong Kong. Más tarde, en la granja Gita Nagari en Pensilvania, EE. UU., Utilizó su talento para crear espectáculos de marionetas, que fueron producidos por ISKCON Television. Más tarde, ella y su esposo sirvieron en Bhaktivedanta Gurukula en Vrndavan, India, donde estudió la cultura del distrito de Vraj o Vrndavan. Desde 1996, han vivido en su hogar natal de Perth, Australia. En 1998, comenzó a crear dioramas en miniatura en una exposición llamada Gopinatha Dham, que representa los pasatiempos de Krsna en Vrndavan.
Nuestros Soldados Leales y Falibles
~ por Rukmini Walker
Hay una historia sobre un soldado japonés leal que todavía estaba situado, preparado y listo para atacar a cualquier intruso en una isla remota de Filipinas, unos treinta años después del final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Un joven aventurero japonés de alguna manera lo encontró allí. Trató de convencerlo de que la guerra había terminado hacía mucho tiempo. Había cumplido con su deber con su país y ahora podía volver a casa. Pero el leal soldado se negó a aceptar su palabra al respecto. Estaba tan dedicado a la causa de su país. Dijo que solo aceptaría lo que dijo si lo escuchaba de su propio comandante.
De alguna manera, ese comandante aún estaba vivo, y el joven lo llevó allí para convencer al soldado de la verdad, que la guerra había terminado. Pero necesitaban alguna forma de validar su servicio, celebrarlo y traerlo a casa como un héroe. Aunque después de la guerra, había estado matando a cualquiera que lo encontrara allí en su puesto. Necesitaba ahora ser rehabilitado y dado un nuevo servicio.He estado pensando que también tengo mis propios soldados leales dentro de mí. Esa voz interior instintiva que por defecto se eleva cuando escucho algo que no me gusta. Esa voz negativa, defensiva u ofensiva, el juez interno, el jurado y el verdugo… El que coloca un juicio antes de que yo pueda reflexionar sobre lo que realmente deseo, o creo, o podría desear responder.¿Quiénes son tus leales soldados? ¿Hay viejos anhelos, lamentos o juicios que ya no te sirven? ¿Un antiguo deseo o relación persistente que ahora solo existe en tu mente? ¿Podemos agradecerles por su servicio dedicado y ahora despedirnos? ¿Se puede volver a comprometer su lealtad de manera que nos sirva mejor hoy?Srila Prabhupada los llama soldados falibles. Mi cuerpo, mente, parientes, dinero, belleza o educación, todos son soldados falibles. Ninguno de ellos puede salvarme en los momentos finales de mi muerte.¡Mis queridos soldados leales y falibles! ¡Por favor, simplemente pronuncie el nombre de Krsna en estos momentos de la vida y en la muerte!Thakur Bhaktivinode nos implora:
Empuja, pues, tu marcha, oh alma,
Contra una mala acción,
Que está con los soldados Odio y Lujuria
Un héroe de verdad.
Mantén tu puesto en el mundo espiritual
Tan firmemente como puedas
Que nunca la materia te empuje hacia abajo
¡Oh, hombre heroico!
Oh alma Saragrahi Vaisnava *,
Eres un ángel hermoso,
Llévame, llévame a Vrndavan,
Y el poder del espíritu declara.
Allí descansa mi alma libre de materia
Sobre los brazos de mi amante
Paz eterna y amor espiritual
Son todos los encantos de mi canto.
Todo lo mejor,Rukmini Walker

Our Loyal and Fallible Soldiers

There’s a story about a loyal Japanese soldier who was still posted, poised and ready to attack any intruder on a remote island in the Philippines, some thirty years after the end of World War II.A young Japanese adventurer somehow found him there. He tried to convince him that the war had ended long ago. He had done his duty to his country, and he could now go home. But the loyal soldier refused to accept his word on the matter. He was so dedicated to the cause of his country. He said he would only accept what he said if he heard it from his commanding officer himself.Somehow, that senior officer was still alive, and the young man brought him there to convince the soldier of the truth, that the war was indeed over. But they needed some way to validate his service, to celebrate him and bring him home as a hero. Although after wartime, he’d been killing anyone who came upon him up there in his outpost. He needed to now be rehabilitated and given a new service.I’ve been thinking that I also have my own loyal soldiers within me. That knee-jerk default inner voice that rears up when I hear something I don’t like. That negative, defensive or offensive voice, the inner judge, jury and executioner… The one who places a judgement before I can even ponder what I really desire, or believe, or might wish to reply. Who are your loyal soldiers? Are there old hankerings, lamentations, or judgements that no longer serve you well? An old lingering desire or relationship that now exists only in your mind? Can we thank them for their dedicated service and now say goodbye? Can their loyalty be reengaged in ways that better serve us today? Srila Prabhupada calls them fallible soldiers. My body, mind, relatives, money, beauty, or education - all are fallible soldiers. None of them can actually save me in my final moments of death. My dear loyal and fallible soldiers! Please just call out the name of Krsna, in these moments of life and at death!Thakur Bhaktivinode implores us:
So push thy onward march, O soul,
Against an evil deed,
That stands with soldiers Hate and Lust-
A hero be indeed.
Maintain thy post in spirit world
As firmly as you can,
Let never matter push thee down-
O stand heroic man!
O Saragrahi Vaisnava* soul,
Thou art an angel fair,
Lead, lead me on to Vrndavan,
And spirit’s power declare.
There rests my soul from matter free
Upon my Lover’s arms-
Eternal peace and spirit’s love
Are all my chanting’s charms.
All the best,
Rukmini Walker*A Saragrahi Vaisnava is a devotee of the Lord who always seeks the essence of love and wisdom within all things.
Digging Out
~by Ananda Vrindavan Devi
---------------------------------
As we slowly dig ourselves out
of the gleaming deep casts of snow
I begin to think of what other parts of our lives
could be snowed under and need to be reclaimed
Perhaps it is an old forgotten hurt that should be
forgiven and let go, set to melt
Maybe it's a dream that's been frozen
in the face of so much struggle to survive
Perhaps it needs to see the sunshine
Or could it be the evenings we need to dig out
or even one evening, to sit with family and talk
Or the early morning hours that we need to reclaim
to begin our day with words of prayers, mantras of hope
auspicious things and moods of giving
before we are snowed under again
with life and phones and time and forgetfulness
Perhaps we need to reclaim a day
to spend at the temple with Krishna
to sit and serve and be with Him
Perhaps we need to take down the walls of snow
we tend to hide behind
and bring our humbler self out under the blue sky
and ready to say - I need help to dig myself out of
this bodily concept of life, this temporary world of names
and be conscious of the urgent need to keep digging and digging
to reclaim our true and pure spirit selves, surely snowed in for many a lifetime.

Sage 100 and Sage X3 vs QuickBooks
Intuit Merchant Service for QuickBooks – lets you process credit and debit transactions directly in any version of QuickBooks. As of 2022, Intuit is the subject of multiple lawsuits and is under investigation by the FTC and several state attorneys general.
Intuit is one of the most established names in the tax and accounting software market, and is a market leader in its native US. The Company has a reputation for providing reliable, easy-to-use products offering substantial functionality. But why is Sage an option for customers that have outgrown QuickBooks? Unlike Intuit, which focuses Marketing Manager, Quickbooks Corporate Sales Job In Mountain View, Ca At Intuit on start-ups and small companies with QuickBooks, Sage focuses on emerging small and medium sized business . By definition, the SMB market is attributed to companies with less than 100 employees and $50M revenue. However, the traditional definition of SMB ignores factors like growth, operational complexity, and the volume of data.
Customer Relationships
Intuit was conceived by Scott Cook, whose prior work at Procter & Gamble helped him realize that personal computers would lend themselves towards replacements for paper-and-pencil based personal accounting. On his quest to find a programmer he ended up running into Tom Proulx at Stanford. The two started Intuit, which initially operated out of a modest https://quickbooks-payroll.org/ room on University Avenue in Palo Alto. The first version of Quicken was coded in Microsoft's BASIC programming language for the IBM PC and UCSD Pascal for the Apple II by Tom Proulx and had to contend with a dozen serious competitors. We are currently seeking a qualified Bookkeeper to join a growing, and fast-paced telecommunications company.

In response, Intuit launched new web-based products and put more emphasis on QuickBooks and on TurboTax. Among others, it purchased a large stake in Excite and acquired Lacerte Software, a Dallas-based developer of tax preparation software used by tax professionals.

Amor en la materia oscura del universo
~ por Pranada Comtois
Sosteniendo un libro en mis manos, el autor me hace señas: "Imagina sentir más amor de alguien del que jamás hayas conocido". ¡Si! Reflexiono y me preparo para un viaje con el libro de 300 páginas. La línea de la contraportada “el amor es un estado del ser” había atraído toda mi atención.Seguí leyendo, "Este amante no necesita nada de ti. . . sólo quiere tu completa satisfacción ". Dos párrafos después, me presentan al amante: "Es la textura subatómica del universo, la materia oscura que conecta todo".Whoa, ¿podemos retroceder un segundo? El "alguien" en la primera página simplemente se convirtió en un "eso". Luego, en la siguiente oración, “Cuando te sintonices con ese flujo, lo sentirás en tu propio corazón. . . “Bueno, ahora tengo el amor como un vago fluir; un amante que es un eso.Tal vez el autor necesitaba un mejor editor, creo, y me atrevo a avanzar. Después de varios capítulos, dejé el libro decepcionada. ¿Cuándo se manifestó nuestra experiencia de amor y amar como una masa amorfa? ¿Alguna vez hemos amado algo / nada indescriptible, indeterminado, informe? ¿Podemos hablar o compartir nuestro corazón con la materia oscura? ¿Cómo podríamos esculpir la textura subatómica para poder abrazarla? ¿Recibirá el flujo sin nombre nuestros regalos y enviará una nota de agradecimiento?Para confirmar que no le estoy pidiendo al autor más de lo que debería esperarse, recurro al diccionario: “Amor; un afecto profundamente tierno y apasionado por otra persona ".Eso me tranquiliza. El amor es lo que pensé que era: un intercambio entre dos personas. Cuando el amor se usa coloquialmente en una declaración como "Amo los atardeceres", usamos el amor de manera vaga, imprecisa, para referirnos a un agrado. No estamos hablando de la relación sutil que podemos experimentar con otra persona.Incluso el amor a uno mismo, aunque es un amor genuino, no es una expresión plena de amor. ¿Qué toma y daca de pensamientos, emociones y dones con uno mismo? El intercambio es unilateral y, por tanto, limitado. La cara completa del amor involucra a dos seres sintientes.Un "estado del ser" se refiere a una condición del yo que existe eternamente. Tal estado no se modifica por el tiempo o el espacio, qué decir de influencias menores como estados de ánimo o cambios de opinión.Cuando vamos hacia adentro, podemos hacer contacto con el yo eterno, cuya naturaleza es descrita por Krishna en el Bhagavad Gita (2.16):Los videntes de la verdad han concluido que, de lo no existente [el cuerpo material] no hay permanencia, y de lo eterno [el alma] no hay cambio. Esto lo han concluido del estudio de la naturaleza de ambos.El yo, o el alma, es una unidad de conciencia, una sustancia espiritual, compuesta de Ser (sat), Conocer (chit) y Amar (ananda). En resumen, el yo existe, conoce y ama. En su condición original, en su estado eterno de ser, es una amante consciente y alegre. Ese estado original se llama amor sabio.Dado que ahora no estamos experimentando el amor sabio como un estado del ser, ¿cómo podemos lograrlo? Los textos de Bhakti describen que cuando el yo se conecta con su Fuente, la Persona Suprema (de quien obtiene sus características de Ser, Conocer y Amar) en amor y servicio a través de una práctica de Bhakti, puede despertar del sueño actual que ha tenido. ella cree que ella es el cuerpo masculino o femenino que habita actualmente.Al despertar del sueño del ego falso al yo real a través de una práctica de Bhakti yoga de escuchar y cantar sobre el nombre, la personalidad y las actividades del Supremo, encuentra el amor sabio como un estado del ser. Ese amor puro fluye siempre fresco e incesantemente desde su corazón hacia otras almas y su Otro Significativo.En esa danza iluminada de amor, ella puede sostener a su Amado Supremo, que es la hermosura infinita en sí misma, en sus brazos reales y contemplar la belleza incomparable del rostro de su Amado con los ojos reales del alma.
