Letters to the editor

Radhe!   Radhe!!

Now it is 3.30PM.   You see we answered a bunch of let-ters.  Back home two nights and maybe we can get a more stable program here.            We are like you, enough admnistration, hours, and we want some fun.   Fun is the essence of spiritual life, not organization, or immortality.

Ananda before Cit and Sat.

FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S A
DUDE IN INDIA WHO HAS AN AUTOMOBILE PART REPLACEMENT BUSINESS.     HE HAS A WORKER WHO TAKES A HARD METAL DIE-STAMP WITH "HARE KRSNA" ON IT, STAMP THAT ON ALL THE REPLACEMENT PARTS, SO WHEN SOMEONE IS UNDER THE AUTO WORKING HE MAY SUDDENLY SEE, "H A R E   K R S N A".

It's your movement!  Do what

Querido Gurudeva por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Estoy escribiendo mi pequeño reporte ya que no lo he echo en mucho tiempo, seguimos en casa tratando de adorar a la deidad, cantar Haré Krishna y seguir nuestros principios. Estamos muy agradecidos mi esposo y yo de que nos visitara en casa las veces que ha pasado por México somos muy neofitos aun pero para nosotros Usted es una gran inspiración.

HpS - ASA --  Somos malvados abajo la control de Srila Prabhupada. AGTSP.

Mi hija Lila-vara ya tiene año y medio, me siento muy afortunada de poder criar a mi hija en Consciencia de Krishna y ver que el gusto que va desarrollando por Krishna y en especial por Srila Prabhupada, cada que ve una foto inmediatamente se postra ante el , le cuento también que estamos esperando otro bebé que será niño y nacerá en Octubre le pido sus bendiciones para que pueda llegar a ser un devoto de Krishna.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!

La última vez que pasó por México no pude estar presente porque por el embarazo me sentí mal de salud mi esposo pudo verle en el aeropuerto pero yo desafortunadamente no.

Gracias Gurudeva porque aún en la distancia física Usted está siempre presente.

Su aspirante a sirviente 

Saranagati Dasi

HpS - Titulos para los fotos!

Era muy corta visita pero muy productiva!!!
Cada dia mejor, mejor!!!!

This is rough, I really do hate child abusers, they destroy all in our lifes, this new document: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvlRAyM3p4Q

HpS - We started to look at the video. About 16-minutes. It is very long and again ISKCON is so big. In Berkeley during this period we started to have a Gurukula but saw we couldn't handle it so it was discontinued. Each center is Incorporated independently. We are trying in so many ways to deal with this problem, the problem of stealing of money form ISKCON construction projects going to people's private homes, wife abuse, husband abuse, brahma'cari abuse.
We read the whole Child Protection Manual, about 35 pages and made suggestions. They weren't followed. 

Maharaja; maybe the TOVP as a craft is better idea, and if ISKCON is so corrupted as the documentary shows clearly, made by bhaktas: can we then use ISKCON anymore. Wouldn't that be aparadha to Srila Prabhupada?

HpS - We feel that there are many aspects of ISKCON.  It is like saying that I should not call myself and American because of all the stuff that goes on in America, but still I use a USA passport. If asked, "Are you from America?" we would respond, "We are from California".  We could deal with that kind of identification better. Even in the first few minutes we saw a few things that we would disagree with.
On the other hand there have certainly been real abuse of power, big, little, punctuated and extended. How can we help?  Where is best place for us to attack?    Right now I see the GBC is no less perfect than I am in trying to deal with these problems, so we support them as we understand who they really are.
We are certainly not 100% correct. Need simple more direct information.

Ok , the problem really seems to be in Radhanath Swami: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QatUU7XLxco this is girl who was abused by Bhavananda........and then Radhanath Swami has also raped people according to this documentary. This is heavy.  https://lastingimpression.info/mayavadinol_explained/ This is good slovenian page. Hanuman ki jay!! I knew about Bhakti Bhringa Swami not being pure at all:  https://lastingimpression.info/king_of_kirtan/

Hare Krishna!!!!! Hare Rama, may Radha be always on your side, and maybe mine too.

ASA - Didn't have chance to follow the links, but I know they said that Hansadutta Swami was sitting on the Vyasa-asana in the Sunday Feast in Berkeley in cowboy boots and shoot guns, but I was there. He didn't do that, so would have to see lot of detail to get exact decision about someone's moral character.
ISKCON is very big. I fight for it's purity as an institution, which is not going to be perfect; I have my friends like you, Namacharya, Abhirama, Karuna krsna, Nitya-kishori ...........

And I have my own personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada. We are little fish, sh, sh, sh, in the big ocean of ISKCON.
.. not discounting criticism of our leaders, just putting it to the microscope.

Hare Krsna maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP>
 Hail Monkey Swami!!!!

seeing your tide up schedule we refrained from writing to you.  our mind thinks  its good time to communicate with you.

at this moment of writing letter to you we are little disturbed as we just read news of that in Iceland is promoting pre natal abortion/murder of down syndrome children..... all we can remember that you said people killed like this are not innocent.  and people in higher planets becoming remorse by looking at pain of others.
i dont know what can be done immediatley to relieve suffering people,  but one think is sure " take more responsibility of spiritual life".

ASA - Aaacha!   Very good. How can we see the seeds of this murder in our own habits and change it.


ii.  Once your grace told blog 

" <style type="text/css"> </style> O.K. We have to learn how to get strength from local devotees. We don't think that the traffic lights in the street are great devotees, but we take so much instruction from them. We risk our lives following their instructions: Go, Stop! So learn to understand the good and bad qualties of devotees and then use that to help you obtain the ultimate aim of life described by Lord Caitanya". 
You also said that as madhyam adhikari we avoid the demon part in devotees..

can you please elabore this more, how can one avoid faults of devotee  especially when they are in authority?

,, ASA,,, - ONce upon a time there was a Temple President named Daksa. He was a great Sankirtan man, Visnu Yajna, but he believed you could do any bad thing to devotees as long as you were doing Sankirtana and that Visnu would ignore it.
He had his hard-drive extracted by Lord Siva and had to use a USB drive after that.
How did people deal with Daksa, Vena, Indra when he was proud. The Bhagavatam is full of stories abou this.  What is your authorities good nature (3 things), what are his bad qualities (1-thing), and how is this God's arrangement?

iii. Our son was asking how can he know "thoughts in his head are, during thinking or dreaming" can you give any answer ?

ASA - Can you please clarify the question?

iv. we want to get intitated, but our integration with local temple is little fuzzy, as we will be moving to delhi in some time. However we have nice bonding one of disciples of H H Radhanath Maharaj, started temple in Kolhapur. 
our rounds are more steady. fourth rule is much better. morning program is also improving.

regarding disciple course, i dont know how much time we can devote. But as you have ordered we will do it surely even if lately.
ASA - Apparently it is available on line and a simple good course.

v. we have started teaching in university near rohini temple in delhi and we are in mumbai on non teaching days. We teach psychology (management perspective) to under grads. we can see that we can shape their thoughts.

ASA - Any video clips for them on the YouTube? Give your rat a cookie, give your rat a clam, and he will be a good employee and never steal you jam, Skinner.

remembering you and following your vani

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

ASA - Hare Krsna/ Hare Rama

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, i am in talk with a NGO for your preaching program. Trying to get details
    like - how it could be useful for you & ISKCON Education Ministry.

    As the talk is in very initial stage so would keep you posted as we get details.

    Thank you so much.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

ASA - We just sent the suggestions for travel and visiting dates. Very late, but that's the best we rate. Where are Krsna, where are the Gopis, where is Vraja dhama?  We must all talk to people who can push these songs along.
