Letters to the editor

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada, my humble obeisances maharaja,  i do not caculate how much time i have not written here,

HpS - Lonnnnng time.  AGTSP!!!  Very nice to see you in Chile and here.

. . . but i hope in a practical way to continue learning from his preaching, thanks to sri isopanisad of bhaktivedanta swami i am vegetarian, and we know about vedic culture.

Sometimes listen his class, i understand very well his position as representative of krishna and how cautious we should be in taking the initiation.  Actually my position is not to take siksaguru-diksaguru, of any sampradaya vaishnava until i get to be really sincere in my appreciation in this part. It would be very useful for fallen souls like us to have their lectures translated into a book, in order to appreciatte more their preaching from perspective of psychology. There is really a lot of information, i wanted  to tell him that in the end we graduated with a university degree,

HpS - Jaya !    Very well done.

. . . and we  hope to study later a magister in art and musicology, or perhaps another study related to educational philosophy and vaishnava.  I hope to  keep in touch with  you for mercy of Sri  Nitay, write letters to learn from your perspective. Regarding my daughter Mikaela, she is five years old and i am working on our eating habits. She apparently  has two civil nationalities, of  spanish nationality and chile. Thanks to the astrologist  vedic Nilton dhanatha  of Perú we understand your natal chart...

Excuse the english, ...  excuse my offensses ... i hope continue appreciate  the books the Srila Prabhupada in my life. I have the srimad bhagavatam and bhagavad gita and i still can not pass the first song. 

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!  Do you chant "Hare Krsna" mantra with faith some time each day?   Do some regular prayer?

Hare Krsna,

AGTSP   We had very strong stomach cramps yesterday. They came about every two minutes. We let them grab our whole body and then they would go away. Then during BG lecture came so intense we almost lost consciousness, was flushed and voice jammed up. After that they went away for some time.

This morning almost nothing. Today had SB class with many devotees. Talks with NGD, Upendra and Srinivasa acharya Das. Then Post Office. Mailed ten NIOs to Rick and Yashoda rani. Bought carrots and frozen orange juice. Offered them to Krsna steamed with little butter. Some little stomach ache.

Maybe ulcer from our abuse of body. Maybe stomach cancer.

Maybe die in the next few weeks.

Monday is solar eclipse. Here is one of the few places it can be seen. Big concerts. Don't go out. Don't cool or worship diety during this time. Very evil influence, Rahu. Also deadline for fight between Trump and Korea-raja. Maybe Monday nuclear exchange with the terminatio of Korea, three USA cities destroyed, nuclear fall-out, all telecomunications disrupted, USA economy destroyed.   We just sit down and chant Hare Krsna and depend on Krsna. We are in the middle of Eastern European struggle. From Wealth to Extreme Poverty, but if it is Krsna's desire then O.K. Just chant and leave this world or stay in chaotic situation and contribute our sanity.

Wake up!    You are watching a movie!

Anwswered as many letters as we can. Now time to go see NGD. Evening program at about 7.15PM to 7.30PM, Bhajan-kirtan. The later reading Krsna book.

If we don't have anymore electronic communication we can communicate by dreams!

Hare Krishna

Dear Guru Maharaj,please accept my humble obeisances

It's a long time ago I wrote to you.

Please forgive me my laziness.

HpS - Please also forgive our laziness.  AGTSP

I am ok, following four regulativ principle ,chanting japa every day 16 rounds .But trying my best to chant good rounds

We are living in Serbia work hard,life is not easy in Serbia.

HpS - May be worse in hell: 

I'm still married, no children.

HpS - How old? Are you?  Take to Vanaprastha ashrama. What is your good wife's name?

Please forgive me my offences and mistakes,I am so sorry for  I was not wrote to you and informed you about my life and progress in Krishna consciousness.Please accept me back ,like your servant and disciple.

Hare Krishna

Indradyumna das

HpS - We thought about you many times but had no strength or ability to connect with you. Your sister is Esther, was wife of Namacharya Das, how is she?

Totally spectacular program

Hare krishna Gururmaharaja
Please accept my humble obeisances.

I had the opportunity to get a glance of your preaching in south america, thanks to the live videos on Social media. The contact point of east-- west philosophy through poetry ( hamlet & Arjuna) is totally inspiring as well psycology and the sacred. You mention that the deepness of the lenguage  can 'touch the heart', that the plot is the essence of drama.

HpS - According to Aristotle, in the Western tradition of drama.

The essence of drama is bhaba [bhava], based on that attitude we think, we act.
How to touch the heart and change it ?
How to Development of Isavasya counciusness.?
How are we changing our Consciousness individually and Collectively 
Gathering of very important personalities , Zurita and his passionate poetry. 

:)

I was thinking and thinking for days of how to write to you, but now i see my situation as a amateur school drama . How to transform our life in a drama dedicated to lord caitanya?

My drama is still in the chapter of separation from which holds me. separation from family , separation from husband, separation from you and in a deeper level separation from the holy name; even when im physically present i feel overwhelmed and in tears. Krishna try to keep me busy as a answer to my  japa full of threnody, and as you advice us many times in Houston we will keep fighting in the kruksetra war, and even if need to fight this insignificant Alamo , from failure and challenge we will learn. But i need to be honest and say that I'm been struggling facing the result of my decisions. 

When i see your example of enthusiasm and determination lift me up, i just pray that the Lord keeps your physical and spiritual strength and open more doors of preaching as these in south america.

Please don't forget us, even though i neglect you and don't write too often. We are still learning how to act, how to care and interact with you and all.

We ask your permission to place your photo on the altar during my services to sri sri Radha Natavara, jaganatha baladeva shubadra, sri Goura Nitai ( some services now: cooking, aratika, putting them to rest sometimes), we ask for strength to keep engaging kids in krishna Consciousness ( preparing janmastami drama using sri krishna lila stava ) and mainly bless us to engage our noty mind in the chanting of Krishna's name ( as your firm but kind instruction to us).

Your servant 
Govinda Pramodini  dasi

HpS - Hare Krsna!   So lucky to take birth in such a nice family. Nice parents. Nice sister. Maybe you were a Sannyasi in your last life.  Of course, we saw you in Houston after this letter and had chance to communicate.  Now I think you are translator for Vrajendra kumar Das.  Again, get your PhD in Following Husband. 

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/9/3/ is story of Sukanya and Cyavana Muni. Maybe you get some inspiration in this for your drama!  I am not saying that there is some "mystical" connection between your situation and your husband's but in general maybe some good points to discuss.

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/9/3/10/ is especially interesting ideas for a lady. Again, not saying that you married an old irritable fellow, but many good ideas.

Todas las glorias sean a parama karuna Sri Sri Gaura Nitay
Todas las glorias sean a Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Todas las glorias sean a los Vaisnavas del Señor

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias guru maharaj, muchas gracias por su visita a chile, ha sido muy inspirador, esperamos mantener esa fuerza espiritual para servir a los vaisnavas.

HpS - Era increible para nosotros tambien!

Después de su visita he aprendido mucho y me he propuesto algunas metas a corto plazo para mejorar la conciencia, leeré nuevamente el upadesamrta, estudiandolo minuciosamente, junto con las citas que srila prabhupada da en cada verso, además estudiaré las canciones vaisnavas del programa del templo, con su traducción palabra por palabra para poder cantar con un sentimiento profundo y comprender más las melocidades que inspiraron a los santos escritores vaisnavas tales como narottama dasa thakura, visvanath cakravarti thakura, etc... 

HpS - Super!   Estudiando solo???  Es super tener un companero de estudios!

Guru maharaj, aprovecho esta oportunidad para pedirle disculpas por no mostrarme tan expresivo, suelo ser un poco tímido y trataba simplemente de hablarle cuando tenía alguna pregunta, eso hasta ahora he aprendido, quizás con los años pueda relacionarme de manera más cercana con usted, eso espero, con el fin de hacer más amenas sus visitas...

HpS - Claro, la unica amante es Krsna! Amigo, hijo, novio, esposo... y estamos inspirado por los diferentes gurus tenemos aumentar esta relacion. Y  Y  Y  Krsna es super, super, generos. El no quiere guardar todo la amor para su mismo. Quire comparatir con todos otros. Krsna! Krsna! Krsna! Krsna!     Krsna!  Krsna!  Krsna!  He!!

Que Sri Krsna lo llene de bendiciones para seguir predicando por el mundo y glorificando a Srila Prabhupada
su insignificante aspirante a sirviente Mandara-sakha Das.

HpS - Que pasa en El Templo, con los devotos de todos clases?  Cuales son su planes para desarrollar su predica??

Hare Krishna Maharaja

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please accept my humble obeisances.

I hope at the moment of receiving this letter your health is good.

HpS - AGTSP!!!!!    Paoho.   We have been having some joint problem with hips and legs. May get worse. Some stomach problems, cramps, pains, may get worse, maybe ulcer or stomach cancer. Of course, eyes and ears and life-airs are old, but spiritually, by mercy [!!!] of Srila Prabhupada and Krsna, we are making progress to becoming honest, sincere, devotees.

I had some problem with the previous user and the email asociated to it, so I have changed madhavi76 to Madhavi76.

I keep on doing the sadhana regularly and listening some of your speach in internet. Now I'm in Nueva Vrajamandala to attend Vayasaky Prabhú harmonium course from 14th to 25th.

HpS - ASA --- Very, very nice!!

This July I attended the Ratha Yatra in Lisbon. It was my first experience in a Ratha Yatra, and was a wonderfull one.

Before the Ratha Yatra I had the opportunity to meet Purushatraya swami Maharaja in Lisbon thanks to Nityananda das prabhú (my Siksha guru in Alicante with whom I did bhakti yoga courses), and I felt a strong connection with him when a small group of Spain had a private meeting with him. While answering a question of a devotee (lady) about how to develop a relationship with him in order to take future iniciation he answer that the way he does is keep in contact via email, that he answer directly, also to ladys, máximum in 2 days. Due to my nature, and that previously I had a grihasta guru from raja yoga with whom I could talk directly, I’m finding some obstacles in communication via blog instead of direct email, so I feel the way of dealing with communication of Purushotraya swami and his mood swits better with my way of feeling and express myself. For this reason I humbly want to ask you for blessing to keep on with the instruction for future iniciation with Purushatraya swami, although I will keep on following your lectures and guidance as siksa guru.

At your service

Bhaktin María

HpS - Jaya!   AGTSP. Pamho. You can also see that we cannot even keep these Blog exchanges going very quickly while we travel. Of course, we heard from Devamrta Swami that he does not do much correspondence when he travels. It is just a fact. While traveling we will talk with maybe 17-people a day, so there is no time for letters, except Urgent ones.

If you have a more fluid communication with Maharaja that is very good, but . . .  I think you may discover that there are limitations there, even more than with our system, because he is a Sannyasi so communication with ladies in private is not permitted, usually disastrous, and second, he is also GBC Secretary and there has enormous administrative communication load. He is a very wonderful person as a Sannyasi and GBC adminstrator. You can only benefit, benefit, benefit, by communication with him.
Fundamentally all this has to take place in the perspective of Srila Prabhupada as your, his, my, Sampradaya, Founder-Acharya. Unless these relationships lead us to a direct experience of Srila Prabhupada, "Hello, Bhaktin Maria. How are you?", "I am fine Srila Prabhupada." "Good, can you help XYZ with this publication project?" "Yes, Srila Prabhupada!". "Thank you."

So, very much like to hear from you as one of our principle journalists in Spain!  What has happened with Yadu Swami???  We have lost all contact with him, which is very unusual and we have some very important topics to discuss!

Thank you very much!

HpS - ASA
