Letters to the editor

diary of a traveled creature.

we, hps/asa 🐵 🐖 🔭 are in Seattle, Issaquah, Washington, USA.

the sun is at 12.44am local time.

hare krsna.

we are chanting more and more.

we are praying to radharani, hare, to pray to rama/krsna to push us to chant more.

tonight see harivilasa das, temple program, tomorrow ekadasi, program in Lynnwood, like 1-hour driving.

Saturday at 5.30Am we fly ✈to Houston ISKCON!

How is your Sankirtan?

We are just trying to be a little part of Srila Prabhupada's band!

So much to do. Chant Hare Krsna, not for liberation,k but also what service can we do in the liberated stage.

After the battle of Kurukstra started, it was a chaos at many times.

The enemy attacks, the Black Witch, our Captains and General call to us to reorganize, but often we are fighting with another soldier by our side and no one else, and making local decisions about what is best for us to contribute something to win the war.

Just bought the tickets for Anantesvara Das and HpS to go to India, Ayurvedic Ashrama, from Madrid 26th September. Then return 12th October.

A.I. Das may stay a little longer or leave even the next day, but HpS will stay until like 21st October!

Calendar is external manifestation of the Super Soul.

Sankirtan. Sankirtan.

Sankirtan Partners.

'o'0' (Subhadra and her little brother, Krsna)!

'O'o' (Subhadra and her brother big brother, Rama)!

Hare Krsna///Hare Rama.

Will rest now and work on the ASA Encyclopedia asa[e].

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, pamho

I hope that this meets you in good health.

HpS - Old but still working!

Eyes are burning.

Digestion little cramped.

Always struggle to sit properly.

Little cold in Seattle.

Forty percent deaf (maybe by yoga we can do some recovery).

Back to Houston, back to Base Camp, day after tomorrow!

etc. 😆

Yesterday it was the presentation of Parama Karuna, Sri Sri Gaura Nitai in Wilson, Lima, Peru. I can not upload videos here but we can tell that the devotees were very pleased.

I want to give my gratitude to Isvari Radha dd and her daughters (Rayani and Sarasvati) they are an example of top-notch children raised by good devotees

To Meghapuspa Prabhu who is in charge of the pujari in Wilson and to Kavi caitanya das

But most importantly I want to thank your very good self for your blessings. I keep all your words, jokes, etc within my heart

HpS/ASA - Buck White, Librarian, for ASA, sympathizes with you. What a chaos your heart must be.

Hope to see you soon

Your eternal servant

HpS - Pictures are wonderful. Makes us feel that there are heroes who are struggling for ISKCON in Peru! Is there any nation in ISKCON more essential for the Sankirtan of the movement than Peru?

We don't think so!

Get to work!

Draupadi was the cause of the whole Kuruksetra war.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias.

SB. 2.6.20 - Purusa-Sukta corroborado

"El mundo espiritual, que consiste en tres cuartas partes de la energía del Señor, se halla situado más allá de este mundo material, y está destinado especialmente a aquellos que nunca volverán a nacer. Otros, que están apegados a la vida familiar y que no siguen estrictamente los votos de celibato, deben vivir dentro de los tres mundos materiales".

Aún sigo por aquí en Cusco, en la casa de Prabhu Anasraya (discípulo de Jayapataka Swami) y su asociada la Madre Taki, muy buenos devotos.

Ahora cambiare de ciudad, estaré viajando para el Paraguay, el lugar se llama "Ciudad del Este" cerca a la frontera con el Brasil. Voy hacer servicio en el templo de la madre Godavari (discípula de SS. Jayapataka Swami), estaré por esta zona un tiempo.

El boleto de vuelo esta comprado para el 14 de agosto, de Lima al Paraguay.

La hora programada es para las 12:30 am.

Entonces tengo un nuevo cambio de zona, el destino, dicen que los cambios siempre son para bien.🙂

Bueno, mi proyección en la actualidad está enfocada en una vida más de templo.

Al parecer esta carta será algo corta.

Bueno Guru Maharaja, me despido y que el Señor Nrsimha lo proteja siempre.

Hare Krsna 🙏

ASA - 'O' 'o'0' B SJ

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja; please accept my respectful obeisances.

SB 2.6.20 – Purusa-sukta confirmed

"The spiritual world, consisting of three-fourths of the Lord's energy, is situated beyond this material world and is intended especially for those who will never be born again. Others, who are attached to family life and do not strictly follow vows of celibacy, must live within the three material worlds."

I am still here in Cusco, staying at the home of Prabhu Anasraya (a disciple of Jayapataka Swami) and his partner, Mother Taki—very fine devotees.

Now I will be changing cities; I am traveling to Paraguay, to a place called "Ciudad del Este," near the border with Brazil. I am going to perform service at the temple of Mother Godavari (a disciple of H.H. Jayapataka Swami) and will be in that area for a while.

My flight ticket is booked for August 14th, from Lima to Paraguay.

The scheduled departure time is 12:30 AM.

So, I am moving to a new area; they say that changes are always for the best. 🙂

hps/asa - agtsp... in our initiation letter Srila Prabhupada wrote that our American disease is that we always want to change everything, that it is better to keep the old system and make it stronger. Yet, we Americans (South Americans) are pioneers, no? So changing location, association, can be good!

Keep the same Sankirtan spirit, no? Improve it by moving!!!!!

Well, my current focus is on a life more centered around the temple.

It seems this letter will be rather short.

Well, Guru Maharaja, I take my leave now; may Lord Nrsimha always protect you.

Hare Krishna 🙏

Gadai Gauranga Das

HpS/ASA - May LN protect us all! Keep us in intense KC!!!!

Waiting for your news.

We will start reading Madhya Lila; 19.232 onwards up to verse 19.257

(Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructs Srila Rupa Goswami)

The class starts at 7:30 am ~ Houston Time

Thank you to all devotees for their dedicates service to ASA ~~ SB workshop class. H. G. Ambrish 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.

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO

I hope this meets You in good health and energy

This Sunday (July 19th) we are going to present Sri Sri Gaura Nitai after Their restauration

P Kavi Caitanya has done a great job so far. We are pretty grateful with all the community of devotees who supported our service. We wanted to involve all the yatra. Isvari dd and their daughters also helped a lot

The deities are going to have glass eyes. It is something ambitious.

Please I humbly request your blessings

Hope to see You soon

Trying to be your disciple

HpSwami - Wonderful.

Simply Wonderful.

Send fotos taken with love.

Mi querido Gurudeva

He leído varias veces tu respuesta y he meditado profundamente en la instrucción que me has otorgado: estudiar la filosofía occidental siempre bajo la luz de las enseñanzas de Sri Chaitanya.

Quiero asegurarme de comprender correctamente lo que deseas enseñarme. Entiendo que no debo medir el valor de un estudio por su sofisticación intelectual, sino por el servicio que ese conocimiento puede prestar a la misión del Señor Chaitanya.

Si esa es tu intención, continuaré estudiando con ese espíritu, sin buscar prestigio, reconocimiento ni satisfacción personal, sino procurando que todo aprendizaje se convierta en una herramienta para el servicio.

A veces la inteligencia puede quedar deslumbrada por el brillo del conocimiento y perder de vista su verdadero propósito. Sin embargo, tu enseñanza me permite volver a contemplar las cosas en su correcta perspectiva.

Mis más humildes reverencias.

Visala Das

Tu Servidor

My dear Gurudeva,

I have read your reply several times and have deeply meditated on the instruction you gave me: to study Western philosophy always in the light of Sri Chaitanya’s teachings.

I want to ensure I correctly understand what you wish to teach me. I understand that I should not measure the value of a study by its intellectual sophistication, but rather by the service that knowledge can render to Lord Chaitanya’s mission.

If that is your intention, I will continue my studies in that spirit—not seeking prestige, recognition, or personal satisfaction, but striving to ensure that all learning becomes a tool for service.

Sometimes the intellect can be dazzled by the brilliance of knowledge and lose sight of its true purpose. However, your teaching allows me to view things once again in their proper perspective.

My humblest obeisances.

Visala Das

Your servant

HpSwami - agtSP. Paoho. I do not remember what I said but you stated perspective seems great!
