Letters to the editor

<big>AGTSP</big>

<big>My obeisances Maharaja, </big>

<big>How is your health? In what part of the world is he preaching now? </big>

<big>HpS - ASA -- "This body doesn't get diseases, this body IS a disease!"   Our body, like and vehicle iss getting old. Our memories, eyes, teeth, respiration, hearing, are all diminishing, but by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we are doing very, very well for our age!!  Our intelligence is increasing!</big>

<big>I have not written because I am very self-demanding with myself, in his previous answer I give myself verses of the BG and the SB to read about my question of how to preach in my work, I still do not finish it, but every Time I assure myself more than The only way is to offer my activities to Krsna, to see all people as spiritual souls. Personally, a while ago I have not stopped singing my rounds, which always allows me to be mentally fixed and without anxiety, I hope to continue so whatever happens. </big>

<big>HpS - Yes, EVERYTHING will improve the fastests as you improve your Japa.</big>

<big>The Japa has become the most important point in my days, meditating on the Lotus Feet of the Lord And associating with very loving devotees. I must assume that I do not like being with some people since I have seen them and I have listened to criticize and offend hard others, even me with Abhimanyu, especially him many years ago until today, I feel that being with these people contaminates my Process, But Maharaja that is well? Or should I try to have the association of them?</big>

HPS - The details are in Upadesamrta.  Especially Texts 4,5,6 talks about distinguishing different types of devotees and adjusting our association with them.  Don't listen to stupid ideas from Karmis, Vikarmis expect as will help them advance in spiritual life. That even means trying help them advance in the modes from ignorance to goodness, to pantheism etc. You will lean!   Krsna will help!

<big>Within me I respect them, I want Krsna to keep them always in service, but I do not want to fall into an offense Since I was little I realized that I have a capacity, which within psychology is called "realizing" be aware of what makes us bad and be able to change it. I do not want to sound a little humble, but I think I've come a long way since I did not know Krsna and the devotees until now. Every day I am aware of trying not to criticize and tolerate more. Please give me your blessings to keep moving forward, I want to return home in this life, I want to be a good devotee and keep Krsna in your service.</big>

<big>HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!!!</big>

<big>On the other hand Maharaja, I have some questions about the worship of deities. In our home we have an altar, this Jagannath, Baladeva and Subhadra, Sri Sri Goura Nitay, Nrsimhadev and a Shiva Lingam given us by devotees. I can not worship them without being initiated?</big>

HpS - It is not exactly "worship", Arcanama. It is more like "Pada-sevanam", which is inspired by Prabhupada. Give them all the love you can, clean, punctual service and then add rituals and paraphernalia as practical.

<big>Abhimanyu has told me to do a simple worship and gradually learn the most complex, what do you think of it? What instruction can you give me? I want to worship the Lord in the most appropriate way, with the necessary standard.</big>

<big>HpS - Like we say above.  Clean, regular timings for sevice, then details.</big>

<big>Finally, to tell you that a while ago I had two dreams, I'm not used to delivering mystical interpretations to everything, but now I do and I want to share with you. In a dream we were the devotees at a party, it was a field place, very green, you would come and I was giving you my obeisances, had a spiritual name and was his disciple, as are dreams, without chronology and temporality, at the same time I knew that that could not be, because my name is Ma. Soledad and I'm not yet started. But my dream showed me something else. The second dream a couple of weeks ago, it was after a therapy that Mataji Guru Govinda DD made me with yantras, that night I dreamed of Shiva and they murmured his name "Hanuman Presaka Swami" </big>

<big>The world of dreams is incredible and a little crazy, but what do you think? I have a hard time writing this kind of thing, but because I know that many devotees read it, but I know I'm not the only one.</big>

<big>HPS - No, is nice. I don't know the meaning of the dreams, but I have heard that Srila Prabhupada said that dreams of Krsna and Spiritual Master and then I guess His devotees, ISKCON, are not ordinary dreams. Somtimes they are chances for us to deal with gross things that we have to adjust in our Karma without having to take the necessary gross bodies. So, I don't know any meaning!</big>

<big>Please excuse the length of this letter, and for asking so many things, I am just trying to move forward by being aware of how neophyte I am. I thank you infinitely for your time in helping us, in serving so much! My bows to His Lotus Feet Maharaja. </big>

<big>HpS - Nice letter!  Five more people will get the same questions answered now without having to write because it is here in the Blog!</big>

<big>P.D: I send you pictures of our deities below </big>(they are not really ours, we are theirs ...)

ASA - Very nice!  Try to get nice altar for them. So relative will give you a nice book case or other furniture!

All Glories to Sri A.C. Prabhupada Maharaja, Sri Sripada Maharaja, Sri HpS Maharaja Ki Jay

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay and Gourabhakta Vrnda Ki Jay!

Dandavat Pran, Guruji Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that I had gone through the letters and Guruji's reply to Mataji Sarda Devi Dasi. I realy  feel very happy to know that at least one deciple from Manipur increased to write letters through this Blog. She has advance knowledge of scientific eqipments like mobile, photo uploading and sending day to day activities to Gurui through this Blog.  I have communicated her also and get update informtion of the activities of Imphal Centre.

It is a good news for Manipur that the Bhumi Pujan at Kakching for consting a new Temple at Kakching. Ours, (Thoubal) is a centre run by different organisation  in the name of Bhagavat Shiksha Ashram but the members of new generation wanted to convert the same Bhagavat Shiksha Ashram  into  a ISKCON Temple. So it takes time to clear the formality and run in the system of ISKCON. The main aims and objects of these two organisations are same but the system and the honourship are the differences. Very soon the result will be in positive way. All depends upon Krsna's  and Guruji's marcy.

HpS - Very nice information!

In the last Sunday programme, the 9th Kanto  of Srimad Bhagavatam stated and the narator Sri Brajamani Sharma - one of the reknown reciter of Bhagavatam and Gita in Manipur told that the 18,000 sloka of Bhagavatam is not correc , it is less then 2,000 slokas encluding Uvachaks, and Sree mentioned in the Bhatam is  Lakshmi not Radharani. Please clarify these two explanations.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das.

HpS - Very strange.  If we just go to www.vedabase.com we see can start to count the number of verses.

In first five chapters of canto one there are 174 verses. Divide that by 5 and that means an average of 35 verses per chapter. As I remember there are about 30 chapters/canto (except 10th with is 90), so that is 35verses/chapter x 30chapters/canto x 14cantos(3 for tenth)/SB = 15,960. That is close to 18,000. ISKCON scholars cannot find 18,000 when they count them exactly, but it is close.  So I don't know why he says that????

Name of Radha-rani is not directly mentioned in the SB. Reasons are given for that, but when Uddhava gives Krsna's message to the Gopis then it says that a certain Gopi was very afflicted. You can find explanation of how Jiva Goswami establishes this is Radharani in th Purport:

http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/10/47/11

Maybe the Pandita is talking about the Maha-devi Bhagavata? Sometimes people mistake that for the Bhagavatam. It is different book.

That is all I know.

We are trying to work on our travels in India. We have the ticket to arrive 27th September and then leave 8th November with two weeks, ten days in Australia. Any suggestions???

Haré Krsna

Pamho agtsp all glories to you Guru dev

Thank to write to me, was very helpful.

I m trying to get a ticket to Chile or Peru, I don't know get, because there are a difference of prices. 70% that we can meet you in Chile 30% in Peru. I will travel alone without vrsabhanu nandini and Hari vamsi dhari  so, I have to arrange many things here to help them to be fine in my absence.

HpS - Sooooooo nice to hear from you all!!    I think Chile would be the right place. Peru we will be moving all the time.  Cold in Chile!    We should also do some telecoferencing for everybody, Arjunatina, while we are in Santiago also.

We still struggling with the construction of our Asrama. Many austerity s and mental and physical distressed, but we still doing it.

HpS - The Catholic church has a book about building churches. It is call "Built of Living Stones". As it goes up, your Bhakti goes up!

We are feeling a strong separation from the dham, sadhu sanga, a fix service and your association.  Hope to see you soon.

your servant ambarisa das

HpS - Hare Krsna!  Hare Krsna.   Hope this Blog helps!!!!!  You, we, are headed to the Dhama,  fixed association. Fly your house to Goloka, like Kardama muni.   Nice photos of the Monsters.

... for having adhikara so much that, nobody really knows, if he is a pedophile or not, he still has that card, that it was all made up by my stepmother Saija Järvenpää :), but many children who had associated with them (their friends') was studied and interrogated :) . This is how alcohol is.. Otherwise their friends are all some more educated hippies. My father was in mental asylum as a worker and a little some steiner job, but for deformed.. but when the tax from strong alcohol was taken and he was accused of pedophily, it made the alcoholism, real bad. Otherwise they even know this one Markku Lyyra, who has translated Keppe's books into finnish language. I guess I have to say the same as my ex-partner. THAT this reading of Jiddu Krishnamurti as evening fairy tales, made much more negative to psyche than not hearing it at all, starting from the age of 12, or something like that.. Here these people think that defending demonism is the same as defending the nature. Conserving the nature. Lego babylon it is. So be there and be square,,,, just so stupid. I would have squirrel's body, if that was the aim of the life, and I guess even them ain't so dumb. I can see them chanting nirvishesha sunyavadi on the branches.. ha yes it would be a humiliation for the squirrels really too,, fearsome thoughts.. for them.. cool runnings

HK!!

HpS - ASA -- There are squirels in Goloka it seems!  Shanta Rasa.

For I confuse ISKCON and my pedophile always fully drunken father (very intelligent--4Laudaturs, as his brother).......PAMHO. Krishna's name is still nice, and I believe also that He is not a Fairy Tale!! And if He is, I bet He is better than those that these grown ups tell.. haha.. I guess He doesn't molest so children, it is the Shiva's forces, who have that job or the yamadhutas, ofcourse everything is needed. PAMHO.    HARE KRISHNA

HpS - Hare Krsna!  Our exchanges are very nice for me. Some of the other members of the Blog don't have such a technical perspective, but they can discuss Hamlet and Arjuna. One doubt is that you are a Web-bot trying to hack our site.

Sriman Nanuk Ji, are you a web-bot?    <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" />  What is the name of the Ass Demon that Krsna killed?
 

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Pamho, AGTSP.

HpS - AGTSP paoho... What about asking him a questions that a Spam-bot could not answer?   This is exciting, like Terminator Seven our something.

You can try to ask him something, but I don't think he is answering anything as he just post randomly geneareted text with some elements which may be connected to this site.

Are you a Spambot Nanuk?

Prahlada Nrsmha Das, do you have any other tests?  I guess he could have himself sniffed by dogs?

In any case, you are the boss, if there is danger to the Blog then we all respect your decisions!!

If you like to have his posts here I don't think it is really danger, unless he post some dangerous link.

So I will not act at this moment, but if you will desire to block him in any time, please let me know and I will do it.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

HpS - So far it is very nice exchange for me. I built a Tesla coil when I was like 12-years old and my neighbor had a Van de Graf generator that would through almost three foot lighting bolts.  I try to take it as it is practical and Prabhupada actually commented that we WILL build Vimanas and gave the name of the Sastra and said that the Germans had it.
