Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaja,
PAMHO  All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
Does anyone know the status of the Sri Sri Radha Nilamadhava Temple?  Is there flooding ?  Their live streaming and blog are off line.  Does any one know if devotees need assistance ?  I am hesitant to call devotees in the event that they have limited phone batteries.

HpS - ASA - Very nice to hear from you. Of course, we think about you.
We are in pretty constant touch with them. Where the Temple is only one house had like ankle deep water. They moved up the street. The rest is O.K. Power was out for a little while but we got a text message yesterday, "The sun is out".
We are catching up on the mail. Always look for news from our Capitol Corridor Correspondents.

HpS - ASA - Looks good. The "Radhey Chai Bar yoga audience" will be mostly Yogiinis?

Any interesting poets, filmmakers, cultural anthropologists, scientists in Melbourne? For SB class we could do a series like Light of the Bhagavata or Jung and the Bhagavata. People for interfaith dialog.

Street Sankirtan?

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, AGTSP.

Thank you for your reply. Your calmness on the situation has given me a sense of patience and purpose

ASA - Enthusiasm is more important than patience! We admire you.

This morning I received a message from one of the program organizers apologizing and asking for some time  to see if they can rearrange things to accommodate us. They really want you to visit.  I think what you have said is good. We should still arrive in Melbourne and let’s see what Krishna does with us. I will keep you updated.

Jai Srimati Radharani!!!

ASA - We will look at your next letter!

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".

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

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.
