Why Solochana das would have been killed ...

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna. Nanuk Ji.      Srila Prabhupada is with us. We are doing Sankirtan with his living direction.    We see many problems in ISKCON, but we see so many positive possibilities directly with Srila Prabhupada and with our friends in ISKCON and even with the Insititution, which we don't expect to be much more than and insititution, Varna-ashrama-dharma, which is not going to be perfect in Kali - yuga.

Are you a disciple of Prabhupada. I mean do you follow his discipline?   Up early, Mangala-arati-kirtan, SB, Sankirtan, 16-rounds, four principles?

Then we want to associate with you.  If there is only fault finding and not glorification it is Mayavada view, not this, not this.

Not Mayavada, not Sahajiya.  Isopanisad, both seeing faults in material world, Institutional ISKCON, and good qualilties.

We personally talked with the Pulitzer Prize candidate who wrote 'Monkey on a Stick' after serious investigation of this stuff. Other very serious journalist. There conclusion was not that Cakradhari and Tirtha presented a bad case for ISKCON. It presented a bad case for the Navy Seals in not being able to integrate their trained assasins back into normal life.
 

Our experience does not paint the Insitituion or its Institutional leaders anywhere as black as you present. Maybe we are wrong, but we only seriously listen to critics who are living a popular alternative. Who are involved in book distribution according to their nature and ability.

So, many problems but complete possibility to associate with Srila Prabhupada and get his opinion on anything.

Just one specific example. A personal friend is Akruranatha Das. He was lawyer when Hansadutta sued for copyrights to the BBT publications. Also, Vedaguhya Das.  From them we understand that Hansadutta won copyrights for all pre-1977 books, but then sold them to Vedaguhya, who has been publishing them. The BBT International was the legal name for the BBT as Prabhupada wanted it.

Yes, if they dropped "fairies" out of later editions we think that is probably wrong.

Many things wrong. We are just tying to get our little area right and see the wrongs deleted almost automatically in our area.

O.K.?

Chanting rounds and following principles??

No-one has ever said to me, that a society which killed their Acharya, would be 77% good, I would say 77% bad, but I guess it's a thing personal taste. This all just gives very very plasticized image. This little game of power, with Ken and the Barbie.... The, haha!! Hare Krishna. This all gives very sick and wicked image about ISKCON, and now I can see, nobody can't be trusted but Prabhupada, if one wants to go to Spiritual World, like Prabhupada wanted us to go. So please do have nice time playing your games. I can not be a part of the killer party. It would be nice, if someone checked my links. And not just thinking that one knows what I have been talking about here. But we look this with psychologists and things. And I am sure you will all be a part of history, how positive, it depends on if one is demon or not. Hare Krishna. I just hope many more will get out from their childish Maya

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All Glories to Guru Maharaj HpS!

PAMHO at Your Lotus feet....Dandavat Pranaam!

Dear Guru Maharaj,

While we wait for Yamunesvara Prabhu's reply, may I update your good self about the programme to be scheduled at RIMS. Had a talk with the Head of Department of Community Medicine, Professor Brogen and he suggested that adding SPRITUAL HEALTH would be a very nice theme, something like  SCIENCE, PSYCHE and SPIRITUAL HEALTH. Dr Brogen says , very soon the WHO will incorporate Spiritual Health as another aspect of health and will be introduced in our teaching curriculum.

HpS - O.K.

Will be having a word with Dr Gojen, a leading Psychiatrist here. Probably, together with ISKCON, we will incorporate these 2 departments. Surely , we will have a Chief Guest, probably the Director of our Institute....still have'nt finalised on that. Can we send letter of invite to Prof Samaresh this week Guru Maharaj? Professor wants it ASAP so that he can apply for leave as soon as possible.

HpS - He will come with his good wife, Smt. Nandini Bandhyopadaya. She is a very delightful respectable lady and as there is time I think you can also put her to good use. She is Bhajan singer with harmonium. Directs the cultural programs for the annual civic festivals in Lake Town. Like Vice-President of All India Ladies Relief Fund.
If you and Dr. think it is useful for him to come, we think it will be fine. We can make a lasting step forward for Krsna consciousness.

We are having daily classes with H.H. Bhakti Ananda Haridas Goswami, starting at 5.30am for Bhakti Sastri preliminary classes and SB class after Guru Puja. Feeling Your immense Mercy of which we would remain forever indebted.

Your most fallen,desperately seeking Your mercy forever ....hopeless servant,

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!!!!  Sankirtan........

Hare Krsna gurumaharaja. Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias a sus pies, y sean todas las glorias para Srila Prabhupada. Espero que usted se encuentre muy bien.

HpS - ASA -- Ha! Ja!     Hare!!!     Eso es el mundo material.  Luchando con nuestra debil dedicacion a Krsna.  Por misericordia, sufrimiento de Srila Prabhupada, adelantando.

Estoy meditando en su consejo de cantar el Maha-mantra continuamente, la verdad que me cuesta acordarme. Por lo menos estoy intentando hacerlo cuando me siento mal. Sigo tratando de cumplir con las 16 rondas y los principios. Estamos haciendo mangala arati a las 5 am más o menos tres días a la semana con Damián y Pandavanatha. También vamos a empezar a leer el Bhagavatam y compartilo en grupo una vez cada 15 días con prabhu Param Padam como coordinador, el 24 de septiembre es el primer encuentro. Vamos a leer un capítulo cada 15 días. 

Como me pregunta en la última carta Damián es 14 años menor que yo. Sigo trabajando con mi crisis de ansiedad y miedo, y estoy viendo muchos anarthas, cuán alejada estoy de Krsna, cuántos sentimientos de egoísmo y de desamor que tengo. Estoy bastante tiempo triste por darme cuenta en la condición en la que estoy. Tengo una imagen distorcionada de mí misma y gracias a Krsna estoy trabajando para conocerme un poco más. Gurumaharaja usted ha tenido crisis durante su proceso de conciencia de Krsna, se ha sentido triste?

HpS - Cada persona es diferente. Nuestra sendero no es solamente de esta vida, pero vidas pasados. Si, ahora, cada dia, constantamente estoy luchando con depresion. Eso es el mundo material, modalidad de ignorancia: Yo soy mal, no puedo hacer...      Pero con asociacion de otros devotos quien son 77% sincero como nosotros llegamos a nivel mas elevado.

Pues, no hay otro opcion mejor que ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada, entonces adelantamos como podemos y cada advanza es eterno. Vamos a vencer contra egoismo.  Krsna es infeliz sin nosotros.

Siempre estoy agradecida por permitirme ser su discípula. Y siempre lo recuerdo en mi corazón y en mi mente.

HpS - Si, no podemos cantar all the time, then ocupanos en Karma-yoga, haz lo que podemos hacer para Krsna, jardinero, limpiando, atencion a imvitados.   Krsna dara inteligencia como adelantar. 

Hare Krsna Gurudev.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverenvias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Gurudev, respondiendo a Sus ultimas preguntas. Yo no he sabido nada acerca de la revista acerca de la Educación en ISCKON en español. Yo creo que Prabhu Jagad Gutu debe estar trabajando en eso, pero supongo que hasta cuando se deba escribir algún artículo acerca de lo que hacemos en el Departamento aqui en Chile, vamos a poder apoyar en algo para la revista.

Con respecto a los grupos de estudio para Homeschooling. Yo podría participar, cuando eso esté listo, aunque no es mi foco ahora. Estoy concentrada en hacer programas enbel templo para los niños devotos.

En el 2015 por consejo de Prabhu Param Padam, se tomó contacto con Bhakta Rupa Prabhu, quien dió la autorización psra que yo fuera Administradora y Grader de Bhakti Sastri en Chile. Todo se hizo a través de Srila Virabahu Maharaja, quien me pidió todos mis certificados de los cursos que se requieren para poder hacer ese servicio. Yo no entiendo bien si él, Bhakta Rupa Prabhu, es o no parte del ministerio de Educación de ISKCON, quizá Usted me lo puede decir Gurudev.

HpS - Jaya!  Si, tiene muchas cargas en ISKCON pero es Secretario del Board of Examiners cual es parte del Ministerio.

Pronto comenzamos con los cursos para los devotos y programas de estudio y talleres para los niños.

Estamos haciendo Sankirtan en las Univerdidades junto a Indulekha y Gokulesvari... Un servicio muy nectáreo... muy necesario!!! 

No pude conectarme a FMP por unos días, ya que nos mudamos de casa y no teníamos internet. Ya tengo internet en casa y estamos intentando retomar Su programa de manera regular.

Muchas gracias por Su ejemplo, e indpiración..

Su aspirante a sirviente.

Priya Sakhi dd

HpS - Hare Krsna!    Muy, muy bien.  Siempre recuerdas que ensyamos los que realizamos. Si levanta para Mangala arati, Kirtan, SB, rondas y principios, eso e lo que estamos ensenyando. Si, no, eso es lo que estamos ensenyando.

Esperamos adelantar Home Schooling y Revista en Chile todo pronto.
