Letters to the editor

Sunday, May 10, 2026, at 7.30 am, Houston time

We will start reading Madhya Lila; 19.27 onwards up to verse 19.80.

(Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructs Srila Rupa Goswami)

Thank you to all devotees for their dedicates service to ASA ~~ SB workshop class. H. G. Lakshman Prabhu will help us with Spanish translation seva for Maharaja's class and reading notes of CC.

H.G. Mitravinda Mataji will help us with seva of back up translator; in case there are technical difficulties.

Maharaja, thank you for engaging everyone in reading systematically books of Srila Prabhupada's.

Upendra Dasa

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Thank you Upendra Das and everyone else inolved in these ASA Sunday Morning ABC Workshops.

Of course, we are trying to improve them.

We have been thinking that it is best to keep them from 7.30AM to 8.30AM so that people can integrate them with other responsibilities that they usually have on Sundays.

Of course, those with special interest and time could continue immediately after or we can schedule other ASA workshops at different times.

Any opinions about this from your good self or any other readers?

Even though we, HpS - TB/BW et al have to leave at 8.30, I think you might want to continue for some time more.

T. J. - Hare Krishna Hermano haven't heard from you in a long time. An occasional oik oik to let your friend know your ok ( kinda)

Have a question. No nothing about me. About you.

T.B - Hare Krsna.

We have tried to write but so many contingencies so far that I think you would also deem higher priority than yours and mine, so glad to get the impetous from you. Thank you!

We really want to stay in fouch with you socially and professionally.

Of course, we struggle to make daily posts to our Blog, pressed to act like Srila Prabhupada struggled to make daily translations of the SB.

Therein we communicate that we are in Richmond for 10-days for Nrsmha-caturdasi festival. It is 2-3 intense programs per day, but we are keeping 85% health and energy.

Trying to do something like Srila Prabhupada's efforts to run coordinated personal and team Sankirtan for Lord Caitanya.

Friday we go to Tennessee for six or more stops culminating in a regional Sadhu Sanga with some ISKCON luminaries, then back to Houston until end of June.

What about you?

We are delighted that you have a question, but hope that we can share it and post a generalized form of it on our Blog so that twenty-five plus more people can get the benefit of useful dialog that Srila Prabhupada uses us to produce.

O.K.????

L traducido: Hare Krishna gurumaharaja, my obeisances, Jaya Srila Prabhupada! I am sending you my annual report. We have had a good year, a good partnership, chanting 16 rounds each day and following the four regulative principles. The last few months have been more focused on reading Prabhupada's books. I started the Srimad Bhagavatam. I also listen to audio recordings and classes while I'm working. The family is doing well. The three girls make devotional music with Vishaka dd (who is now traveling to Chile for a few months). Vaisnavi, the eldest (11 years old), decided six months ago to start chanting rounds every day. She started with one, then four, eight, and now there are days when she completes 16. She is very enthusiastic and is also reading the Mahabharata. Priti and Visnupriya are following in her footsteps. Pushpa Priya dd, my wife, helps me a lot in life; she is a good devotee and companion. We hope to do more activities in Brihuega next year, inviting people to our house to sing Hong Kong, read Srila Prabhupada's books, and take prasadam. Always praying for your blessings. Your servant, Gadadhara Gosai Das."

HpS - AgtSP. Thank you this news.

Change the world from your pure heart.

Jay Gurudeva! please accept our humble obeisances🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏻🙇🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♂️👣🪷🌹💐🌻🌷All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!

I was able to find the verse you quoted:

Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā 5.38

premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena

santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti

yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ

govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is Śyāmasundara, Kṛṣṇa Himself with inconceivable innumerable attributes, whom the pure devotees see in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion tinged with the salve of love.

Purport

The Śyāmasundara form of Kṛṣṇa is His inconceivable simultaneous personal and impersonal self-contradictory form. True devotees see that form in their purified hearts under the influence of devotional trance. The form Śyāma is not the blue color visible in the mundane world but is the transcendental variegated color affording eternal bliss, and is not visible to the mortal eye. On a consideration of the trance of Vyāsadeva as in the śloka, bhakti-yogena manasi etc. [SB 1.7.4], it will be clear that the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the full Personality of Godhead and can only be visible in the heart of a true devotee, which is the only true seat in the state of trance under the influence of devotion. When Kṛṣṇa manifested Himself in Vraja, both the devotees and nondevotees saw Him with this very eye; but only the devotees cherished Him, eternally present in Vraja, as the priceless jewel of their heart. Nowadays also the devotees see Him in Vraja in their hearts, saturated with devotion although they do not see Him with their eyes. The eye of devotion is nothing but the eye of the pure unalloyed spiritual self of the jīva. The form of Kṛṣṇa is visible to that eye in proportion to its purification by the practice of devotion. When the devotion of the neophyte reaches the stage of bhāva-bhakti the pure eye of that devotee is tinged with the salve of love by the grace of Kṛṣṇa, which enables him to see Kṛṣṇa face to face. The phrase "in their hearts" means Kṛṣṇa is visible in proportion as their hearts are purified by the practice of devotion. The sum and substance of this śloka is that the form of Kṛṣṇa, who is Śyāmasundara, Naṭavara (Best Dancer), Muralīdhara (Holder of the Flute) and Tribhaṅga (Triple-bending), is not a mental concoction but is transcendental, and is visible with the eye of the soul of the devotee under trance.
