Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, all glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

I hope your health is getting better and your programs are going well. I have not written to you in a while, but some good things have happened during this time and I’d like to share them with you.

HpS - ASA -- Thank you.  Jaya Sri Krsna!

I don’t know if you remember, but I had started to teach cooking workshops in schools for children and teenagers with special needs.

ASA - We remember that you were feeding them but not that you were teaching them to cook. That is nice.

Well, I would like to tell you that during the second semester of the last year I was working with a quite humble school with students at social risk, which was a pretty enriching experience. This workshop was presented to the school administration as “Hare Krishna cooking”, with all its philosophical implications, and it had a great reception. The program was closed with a visit from part of the devotees, who went to the school, making a Kirtan with teachers and students, delivering sweet balls to all the children, and diplomas and recipes books to the participants. The principal was so grateful that she gave me the freedom to present this workshop again.

ASA - Get a letter from her and then you can use it for promoting other programs, no?

Also, I would like to talk to you about another subject, which is Judo. I feel pretty comfortable practicing this discipline. Actually, in some aspects it’s very similar to Krishna Consciousness; it’s quite philosophical, there is a clear hierarchy and it looks for a shared benefit. I have competed in national championships, where I’ve gotten gold medals and in a Pan-American championship where I got a silver medal. A few weeks ago I had the examination to ascend to blue belt (I have had examinations for 4 grades in less than 3 years, which is a great achievement for me). In fact, my Sensei wants to train me as a children’s instructor because of my commitment and the workshops I have had described before.

That’s why I thought that would be good to organize a meeting with some martial artists and you (Jagad-Guru told me that he talked to you about this), to show that martial arts could have a link with God, and that is meaningful that trainers and practitioners of these disciplines could do it with a higher conscious and not to abuse of that knowledge. That’s because I would like to know what would you like me to do to make this meeting possible. I’d be really grateful if you could give me any idea or advice that allow this program to be successful.

Grateful, your servant,

HpS - ASA --- It seems fine. We can just explain Varna-ashrama-dharma a little bit and the history of the Mahabharata as an example and disribute BG and other books, shar Prasadam and invite them to join more programs.

Who will come?

Please accept my humble obeisances.

My concern is, if some country in the world would be still so tamasic, that they don't know about scalar energy and weaponry. They will run into a risk to be affected on more subtle levels by this tech, and never knowing it, but from BRICS countries at least russia and china are monitoring the use of scalar or HAARP type weapons.

Like in Fukushima, US told us that they used HAARP after the earthquake to take down some ionization clouds and both China and Russia monitored it before the earthquake, that's what they say.

Was it way or another, the Fukushima plant itself was American, and who else's it would be but the infamous Tesla hater's J.P. Morgan's General Electric's plant. Morgan's son was no better than his father, about the Wardencliffe tower... they owned it... it was compensation for the fact that everybody knew that Morgan tried to blow him up, and did so for Tesla's castle in the upper state New York, but he wasn't in it at the time. But if some country's leaders and scientists are very tamasic, then I think only good allies could save them from being bullied and manipulated with the tech. With different variations of the Tesla howitzer..

Hare Rama.

Maybe you or someone could translate my father to me, for he is usually always so drunk that I can use some 2,5 promilles of his knowledge. Hare Krishna  it is just a simple vector :) an energy very linear :=) :)

PAMHO!

P.S. In that way this must be like Jeltsin's russia, when 60% were alcoholized, our leaders are the same kind, energetically, or something.... but it's a sunny daaayyy, hehe. Good day for the little thief..!.    !Hare Krishna! Harii, the thief, for the day.

HpS - AGTSP. pamho. When I was in Russia there were always people drinking everywhere. We would go for a walk in the park and there would be many people roller-skating, young women with a quart of beer in one hand and a cigarrette in the other. It seems to relate with the hellish cold, beer keeps you warm.

ASA - Looks very beautiful. Thank you.

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva 

I have a question which is a bit rumbling in my mind , why does diferent religion separate us  instead of bring us all together , for example ive met with people that they are very catholic and act more like we are so diferent we can't share our  Love for the Lord cause to them the Lord is just JESUS and anyone else is just wrong and false GOD , my mind can understand that  . why are they so closed to the fact that GOD has many names and it manisfate or show himself in diferent way through time .

The fact that catholic or an evangelist are CLOSED minded makes me think so much why is that ? 

Please clarify me  Gurudeva  or correct me . 

dandavats to your Lotus golden feet.

your silly servant

HpS - NOI 4  and 5.   There are Tamasic devotees for Siva, Visnu, Jehovah, Allah, Science.  They want to be glorified at the expense of others so they take try to put down other's faith, religion, so that theirs looks bigger easily. Correct?  Othe thing may be that they push aways others out of ingorance, not hearing the right think about who they are, then they can be changed by education!   Teaching by example, even for a long time.

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva 

Its being a while since i wrote i am very ashamed 
to have taken so long , i always think that  
unless that i dont have updates i am not worthy of writing , I hope you are well and in the company of Hanuman , Lord Rama and Sita .

HpS - AGTSP!!!!   paoho.   You can just write, "We chanted the Mahamantra one time today and looked for people who might be interested in buying a book on Yoga."
 
I am still having full service at the temple making the sunday and week days garlands, i wanted to let you know we saw there is a an increase of new devotees interested in Krishna conciousness so Prahbu actunanda [Acutya-anandana?] and I decided doing a follow up  with the young devotees i am so happy they are very active ,3 of them took shelter in HH Bhakti Sundar Maharaja and getting ready for initiation. I am so happy I can help out with this new service, its being 4 months of the follow up with the new ones .

Outside of the temple there are some walls in the street that have some ugly spray painting this saturday i am decided to paint over them and put Krishna name in sanscrit so it will be sacred . At my work my coworkers ask me alot of krishna and makes me happy i can speak to them about his glories , when i can i bring them cake prasad that i make Banana cakes or ladhu ,some of them got from me some books of Srila Prabhupada its a humble sankirtan i know its not much but i am trying.

ASA -    ---[SUPER]---

I am trying to form a group of young devotees for Food for life but for the homeless at night .

Ratha Yatra is coming son June 3 i am so excited they ask me for a new flyer for the festival and Snana Yatra I am working on them as soon as i have them ill will send it to you Gurudeva,

HpS - Jayananda Das used to make them also.

also a friend of mine from Venezuela is coming to panama the 31 of May she is a tattoo artist and chef as well, into Krisna conciousness , when i was in venezuela last year i sent her japa beads and many books she chants everyday and is a vegetarian. She is very inspired by you Gurudeva ,she will like to meet you and be instructed , i am so glad she gets out of the situation there she was so eager to help out with service for the Lord , frustrated she couldnt do any temple service . Its so beautiful how just talking about the Lord inspires and moves so many .

I am so energizes i will be able to see you at Chile Gurudeva , thank you for your instructions,  thank you for inspiring me and helping us to depend on Krsna.

Thanks for answer my letter, your answers have been very helpful.
Now I find myself in a different situation, my moods are changing constantly, when I'm doing service, chant, or I'm with devotees I feel very happy. Meanwhile there are situations that make me feel stress and anxiety. They are related to my job and the home maintenance.

I've been working at the same place more than two years, it became repetitive and boring, I work lots of hours and I come back home very exhausted. Having to pay the rent and bills stresses me because it's a big part of my salary. Always I'm going to have to deal with this kind of things. Sometimes I think about to change my job or home, but that isn't going to resolve it.
 
After to spend the weekend at the temple or with devotees is really hard to return to work on Monday, especially after Sunday Feast, Sunday became in my favorite day.

Thanks Maharaja for your mercy
To serve you
With love Bhaktin Carol

HpS - ASA -- Maybe you were an Egyptian Pharoh in your last life and you made lots of people work hard every day hauling enourmous stones into place for your pyramid, and now you have to pay for that.   Of course, maybe you were something else.

Pray for Krsna to engage us in His service.   Then whatever external situation presents itself we can basically accept it as the Lord's will. Of course He may be offering us the chance to change our situation also.  We push to improve things for our service but don't get violent and then depend on Krsna. So, many times we see obvious miracles and something happens. Other times we see that this strange situation is what He wants and we accept it.

If you are stuck in a booring job then there is the opportunity to think about whatevery you want to think about or sing whatever songs you want to sing, Memorize songs. Don't be too worried about the roof over your head or the food on your plate. Don't be negligent but put Sankirtan first!

Nice photos!!
