Dear Guru Maharaj

PAMHO AGTSP

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

Please forgive me my offences and mistakes.

HpS - If you forgive mine. Of course, that's easy to do when we think how tolerant Srila Prabhupada has been with us.

I'm okay.Chanting 16 rounds every day,following four regulativ principle, watching and listening the lessons you are giving .

All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

Please forgive me I was not wrote a such a long time.

We are living in Serbia,work,I'm married no children.

I hope you still remember me please accept me back like your servant and disciple

Hare Krishna

HpS - Don't make we sad. We have thought about you so many times and hoped that you are well. Your sister was married to Nama acharya, no?  How is she???

What is your good wife's name?  What is your work?

Are you getting a chance to help others?

We saw two more letters but could not answer them because you can see from the other letters here that we have so little time and our body is struggling so hard to do the local work.

You are a great hero. Don't ever think that Krsna doesn't appreciate your sacrifice. Help others! We will see such success for Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON.

More Pictures!

Daily Morning Class

Hare Krsna, Prabhu,

Thank you for your last letter.

After one day in Lima, one day in Cusco, now we are for one week in Cochabamba. It is still cold and very high altitude, so a lot of stress for our body, but the preaching is wonderful. They filled the Civic Center for Hamlet and Arjuna last night.


We are giving the SB class most mornings and everyone very readily agreed that the focus for this National Winter Festival, about 155-devotees involved, could be, The Prayers by the Demigods to Lord Visnu in SB 6.9.

We are on about the fifth verse and we started by a quick read through of all the prayers. We also wondered why the SB changed to prose after the first two prayers.

Our thoughts are that the demigods don't seem to be as elevated as ISKCON devotees (Ha!  Ha!   Hare!). Of course, they start by illuminating, glorifying, isolating the Lord so that the communication can be good. We notice that they start by saying that He is the source of the results of fruitive material activity. We say material because the second line says that He is the cause of destruction of the results of sacrifice. They say He has many names and this seems to feel like He has not got a very specific personal name. In the third verse they recite a very, very beautiful bunch of names, but for several verses they are saying that they are not sure if He takes a material body when He incarnates.

A lot of other discussion abut their level of realization.

Without the formal knowledge of cosmology from ISKCON it seems so easy to see that we could also be classified as Sa-kama devotees and we really don't know how real the body of Radha Banki-bihari's body is.

In any case, meditating on their state of consciousness and their wonderful prayers we can also see the consciousness of many people in this actual world and then know how to relate our preaching to them.

We continue with these prayers. What is our next module?

Tomorrow, 7AM Boise time, we have our regular Anjana Suta Academy, Pada-padma online workshop. Of course, we are always inviting the whole world to join, and we will record it and can send the link.

Very intense discussions with our GBC representative here about the educational development.

Can you please send a summary of your Seattle thoughts and get M. Arruddha to do the same for the Journal. It is supposed to be in the can within the next 8-days.

We will post this letter on our Blog also.

Thank you.

Dr. Samaresh Report

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

Esteemed Director, Kalyan Chakravarty,

We have not read Dr. Samaresh's letter yet but we shall reply to yours with copy to his excellency. We have heard that you are visiting Spain?

 

Since the last letter we have passed through Arrequipa (Hari-krpa) which sits at 3,000 feet in the shadow of two active volcanoes, Cuzco, the ancient capitol of the Inca Empire and after being seated on a replacement airplane we continued on to Bolivia, Cochabamba, from where we now write. The airport in Bolivia is 13,333 feet altitude. The Red Cross is waiting with oxygen. I actually saw one child pass out and being giving oxygen, "If you have hypertension medicine use it".

Back in Lima we hear news from Alejandro that the Ricardo Palma Community Center in the Lima, Miraflores district, has received the prospect of hosting "Art and the Sacred, An Introduction", in September or October 2018 with great enthusiasm. Our organizers are neighbors and childhood classmates of the Directors. It has four state of the art exhibition gallerys. Promises that 40,000 people a week will pass through the gallerys and an excellent performing arts theater.

I have suggested that we can all sign a Letter of Intent while I am back in Lima for Monday and part of Tuesday. Then we proceed back to our USA.

By September the new Ambassador of India should have been installed and we should have some ideas of a budget. We should also have a decision from Marvin Gurvich about his participation with "Faces of the Divine".

While I was in Cusco for the one day we also met with Oscar Natars and his wife Anna who were doing dance workshops there. He was elected Director of the Year in 2015 and we have done about five movies with him. He agreed that the Ricardo Palma Center is a world class tourist center and that the auditorium only housing 150 would be adequate for mounting an good show that could be repeated for five nights.

Art and the Sacred, Sacred Music and then what came up was Drama and the Sacred, but this led us to Dante's Divine Comedy. Last night "Hamlet and Arjuna" scored another knock-out success at the Municipal Art and Cultural Center here in Bolivia, so the Divine Comedy might also be a nice meditation for all of us?

Jiyada nrsmha Das has just arrived with some Coca Tea so we don't have bad stomach reactions to the altitude and then we are off to our evening lecture.

We are scheduled to arrive in the all glorious New Dehli 28th of September. Our first foot in Bharatavarsa. Then we leave for Ujjain on the 2nd or 3rd of October. We are struggling in our inept fashion to always be at your's and Dr. Samaresh's service. Please direct us.

By your mercy we will send news as soon as we get back to USA on the 26th.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, all glories to you dear Gurumaharaja.
Escuse me, I want to apologize for distracting you in your sankirtan, I know you have been very busy, I've been able to see photos and tweets that have been shared by devotees, it makes me very happy. Since two months ago I arrived with my family to India, Mumbai, maybe soon you will find a letter in the blog, which I sent last month.
The next week we have the desire to visit Vrindavan with my family, I feel worried because I have not asked for his permission, and advice to enter the holy dham, I think necessary for not making offenses, and to have a better vision of This blessed place. I know that I am nobody, and a insignificant disciple (if, at least, I could even be that) ... and very foolish to try to understand a little about the purity of Vrndavan, but I live with the faith every day yhat never forget all mercy of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada in this life, also thank you Gurudeva for all your mercy without cause.
Please forgive my offenses.
Your servant Satyabhama dd
 
JpS-ASA - Srila Prabhupada has invited all initiated devotees in ISKCON to go to Vraja.
