Letters to the editor

HpS - ASA -- Thank you! The blessings of a pious good lady never go in vain.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto.

HpS - ASA -- Pies de (mitad) loco.

Querido Gurudeva:

Como es de su conocimiento estoy casado con una persona que no es devota, cree en Dios pero no cumple dos principios regulativos (come carne y de forma muy esporadica consume bebidas embriagantes).

Segun las escrituras vedicas existen requisitos indispensable dentro del matrimonio para tener hijos concientes de Krishna, como por ejemplo: cumplir principios regulativos, cantar un minimo de 50 rondas, tener un tipo de alimentacion si uno quiere hijo varon o quiere hija mujer, esperar que la concepcion sea en un dia auspicioso, etc. etc. etc.

Mi esposa como toda mujer esta planificando tener un hijo a futuro, la pregunta es:

¿Cuales son los requisitos minimos que ella deberia cumplir para que yo pueda tener un hijo consciente de Krishna ?

Comprendo que en su posicion de Swami, este tipo de temas no son de su agrado, y quiza le este incomodando con mi pregunta, pero me gustaria que haga un esfuerzo en con responder mi pregunta.

Siempre muy agradecido por su atencion prestada me despido muy afectuosamente y agradecido por su tiempo prestado.

Atte. Su eterno sirviete Jiyada Nrsmha Das.

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna, Prabhu!     TlgaSP.   Es gran placer oir de Vd.   Nos vemos en unos dias en Cocha bam ba ba, no???      Basicamente Vd ha dicho todo lo que yo conzco en esta tema.  No, soy muy envolucrado con detalles de Ashrama de Grhastha entonces tiene que hablar con alguien como El Mathuresa Das , no?

No tengo una citación, pero recuerdo que la hija de un Raksasa se acercó al sabio Vishrava para obtener hijos y él estaba enojado con ella, pero concedió su deseo y dijo que ella obtendría un Raksas feroz, Ravana, por un niño.
Situación complicada.
Habla con varios buenos devotos, Grhasthas, cuéntanos los resultados aquí.
Queremos ayudar a todos a subir!

Maybe you will become he father of a Great and Powerful and Famous Demon.  Ha!  Ha!  Ha!

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA -- And ours at yours!

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    As per previous communication, GBC meeting will be in Ujjain from October 9-17, 2017.

    We need below information for to make clear plan :
    1. How many days require your involvement in meeting? what would be the dates.

ASA - Thank you for this effort!  We asked Sesa Das, our GBC Secretary and he said these things were not yet fixed. That is not surprising since it five months ahead.
    2. Where you would land (on September 27, 2017)? Delhi or Mumbai ?

ASA - Delhi, Sir.
    3. Do you have any other engagement other then GBC meeting?

ASA - We will be going to Australia for about 10-days. Then the other days we will be developing our Sankirtan. Right now that is especially focused on this International Symposium on 'Art and the Sacred', June 2018, so we would visiting contacts in Delhi, Kolkata etc. We are not sure now who they would be.
    4. Do you have plan to visit Kolkata or other places?

ASA - Yes, but as mentioned above it is not exactly sure where yet.

    while, Pune Senior b'chari would like to hear you for 4-5 days. They are not available in Kartik.

    Please let me check again with senior b'chari in temple .

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA  --- Thank you for your systematic efforts. Maybe we all meet with Senior B'caris in Vrndvana during Kartika.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

As far as I understand Nandulal d is from Houston right? Do we have to see his accomodations also? Does he know where to stay? I asked PkD.  He is kind of free.  You know!!!!

He told me that he can be with him from around 2pm. We are looking also for other options !!!

Thanks for occupying us in service

Trying to be useful

Candramukhi dd

HpS - ASA -- Thank you.   Also, talked with Abhirama.  I think he can co-ordinate the accomodations.  Its always a danger for single young ladys like your good self working with handsome young men like Nandulal et al without including some married Dude etc in the equation, no?

BEWARE THE WITCH!

Balabhadra, Subhadra, Jagannathadeva Ki Jaya!!!

All gloies to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Patita Pavana Srila Hanumatpresaka Swami.

Beloved Guru Maharaja.

Please accept my most humble obeisances.

I am  really happy to be able to write You and say that one more week and the 16 complete  rounds and 4 principles fulfilled, I continue reading the CC, chapter 21 of Madhya Lila, chapters 20 and 21,  in addition to the conversation between Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramananda Raya are to re-read and study them.

I feel very ashamed to have asked You to remove my previous letter, it is so difficult to me to ask favors and even with Sri Guru, I would usually ask You to forgive my offenses, but I prefer and deserve to be punished for this and my innumerable offenses and sins.

I still do not know how to connect with Starmeeting [StartMeeting], but I will see how to do it, that morning I will listen to Your japa chant and it was the most wonderful thing that happened to me in a long time.

We have 4 wheels of two meters in diameter, and endless helm, a rear axle and a front train to make the car of Jagannatha, we have them more than a year ago, unfortunately the plans were in nothing, hopefully  Krsna bless us and we can continue with the project.

I still do not communicate with prabhu Maturesh, but it will be soon.

We were continuing together with the mataji reading the SB until the 7th chapter of the first chant, which we have stopped for obvious reasons, I hope they resolve soon.

Your sinful disciple, amalakaruna das.

ASA - AGTSP paoho... So nice to hear from you!   Please excuse us if we have posted things improperly. We read your letter and then edited it to what we thought was proper level as mentioned in our file:  http://www.jayarama.us/kd/lte.htm .   We also did the same for letters from Mataji. The Blog is a place to talk with some confidentiality and get help.

I have my past, present and future. I have to deal with them alone with me and Krsna. I also have to deal with them in the association of devotees. Such a fantastic opportunity!

Little puncture. Squeeze out the poison, forever?

Hare Krsna, Prabhu,

AGTSP!   Paoho.   Last we met was at the ILS, no?  The program in Peru with the National Library in  June/July 2018 is roughly as Radhika described it below.

When I was in India in Jan-Feb we all met with ICCR, Lalita-kala Academy and other cultural groups. Yuddhisthira Govinda Das at Delhi Temple described your Sankirtan success with ICCR etc.

ICCR suggested that they could send 5-scholars artists for this "Art and the Sacred Symposium". Beverly Zabriske, who came 2016 says she can get the Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York to come and looks like we also have a very good shot at Francis Clooney, Director of Harvard School of Divinity.

The hang-up has been Peruvian politics, administration. The Director of BNP (Biblioteca Nacional Peruano) has changed three times since January. All favorable but could not get it nailed down for the use of the Library for 2018, although they are the co-sponsor in June for "The Psychology and the Sacred II".

Just yesterday we decided to go ahead trying to get them as our venue, which is very possible, but not to wait. Our other contacts are getting cold.

So, this week we will try to get a hard agreement with the Ambasador, Sandeep Cakravorty. He is our friend. An excellent scholar. Excellent organizer.

With his participation we would then go and fix the five scholars from ICCR. At that time we could also put your excellent art exhibition in the packet for Lokeschandra to consider.

We would have a full exhibition hall at the National Library, or if we have to move to another Venue, probably even a better exhibition space although a smaller presentation hall (350 not 512).

However, we could also investigate satellite exhibits in Cusco, Arrequipa, Trujillo, La Paz etc and/or the show traveling after the program in Lima.

That is why I wanted to contact you now.

I will be in Peru-Chile from the 21st June -- 26th July. Maybe you could even be in Lima then. We have very, very well connected friends who could also get corporate sponsorship from Banks et al.

"Psychology and the Sacred II" will be 26th in BNP and then 27th and 28th June in Jesuit University and San Marcos University (oldest in South America).

How does this fit into your plans??   Perspective?   [HELP]

Even if you can't come to Lima 21st-28th June (then we go to Chile) or 12th-14th July (then we go to Bolivia) or 24th-25th July, we could all get on the phone with the Ambassador, Banks, National Library etc.

Please use the address we are writing from to respond. It gets filtered directly into this kind of work and call or text us at +1 209 505 3219.

If you go to youtube.com and use the keywords, "Psychology and the Sacred 2016" you can see a short and medium size professional clip of the last event.

Thank you,
Paoho

Sounds very interesting.

We would need to discuss practical issues like:

Dates, venue ( is it a real art exhibition space)

Budget available

Etc etc.

The best exhibit I have is called Forms of Devotion- The Spiritual in Indian Art. We usually get financial support from the ICCR to bring it to different countries. But you would need to see if the Indian embassy is willing to do the needful to get funding. You can see Forms of Devotion website.  www.formsofdevotion.org

We also have a wonderful film that just came our and a 2nvolume set book.

Dear Mahaprabhu Prabhu,

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

I hope you are well. I am writing to you in regard to the possibility of an art exhibition in Peru. My Guru Maharaja, Hanumatpresaka Swami, is organizing a symposium on "Art and the Sacred" in collaboration with the National Library of Peru, the Jesuit University in Lima, the Indian Embassy, the devotee community in Peru, and other organizations. We will invite scholars from South and North America, and I am also planning to participate. The event will happen about a year from now.

Last year, Maharaja organized a similar symposium on "Psychology and the Sacred," hosted by the National Library, and it was a great success with excellent academic presentations, cultural programs, and full house audience. We will build on that success for "Art and the Sacred" next year.

Maharaja and I have seen your wonderful exhibitions of sacred art (in Radhadesh and Florence). We thought that this would be an ideal opportunity to bring a traveling exhibition to Peru, as you have done at other places.

I wanted to connect you with Maharaja to begin the conversation and explore possibilities. I have copied Maharaja on this email.

Thank you,

your servant,

Radhika Ramana dasa
