Letters to the editor

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:

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.

Hare Krishna, estimado Gurumaharaj y devotos de habla hispana.

Por favor reciban mis reverencias!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

SS Hanumatpresaka Swami me ha pedido ayudar en la coordinación de esfuerzos, juntamente con P. Jagad guru, para la posible participación de devotos involucrados en temas educativos en el Simposio de Educación que se realizará en Seattle (USA) del 15 al 18 de Junio. Les recuerdo que Maharaja es miembro importante del comité ejecutivo del MOE (ISKCON Ministry of  Education) cuyo presidente es Sesa das.

Este evento fue anunciado con anterioridad en este blog. Maharaj nos invitó a particiapar on-line, primero como audiencia, pero hay la posibilidad de tener una partcipación más activa dependiendo de la disposición de nosotros, los educadores de Latinoamérica.

Maharaj mencionó a Baladeva, Param padam, Jagad guru, Aravinda, Abhinanda, Jiva sakti, Gandharva y Laksmana-agraja prabhus, entre otros. También a Matajis interesadas en el tema como Madres Priya saki, Candra Mukhi, Yugala kisore, Isvari, por nombrar algunas.

ASA - Also from Mexico and Brazil!

Por favor envíen sus ideas, aunque por la premura del tiempo no podremos hacer algo muy espectacular. Maharaj sugiere que intervengamos dando la visión de latinoamérica cuando se trate del tema de la educación  en ISKCON en occidente el día sábado como el tema 3. Yo le comenté que Latinoamérica es muy diversa y la visión, digamos, de Argentina es diferente a la de Perú, etc. Pero hay cierta unidad, por ejemplo entre Perú, Bolivia y Ecuador, y no se, de repente entre Chile y Argentina, etc. Pero podemos trabajar el tema.

Hay detalles como el hecho de que el simposio es en Inglés y se pueda arreglar una traducción simultánea. Pero creo que entonces habría un costo de inscripción para aplicar esto, etc. Aunque en principio la transmisión será abierta por startmeeting. Ojalá podamos hacer algo. Por lo menos participar como audiencia y nutrirnos de la sabiduría de SS HpS y otros devotos, en el campo educativo, para adquirir más experiencia.

En Perú venimos trabajando mucho el tema y ahora con el nombramiento de Mathures Prabhu como supervisor regional del GBC para Perú y Bolivia las cosas se ven muy auspiciosas. P. Karuna krsna, nuestro flamante coordinación de educación para Perú ayudará a coordinar todos los esfuerzos educativos en  Perú. Espero que estén ocurriendo cosas buenas también en todos nuestro spaíses.

Finalmente, supongo que Maharaja enviará muy pronto el cronograma más específico para ver detalles.

Muchas gracias por su atención.

Su sirviente,

Laksmana-agraja

HpS - ASA -- Tambien mientras estamos pasando por Mexico, Peru, Chile, Bolivia despues del reunion en Seattle podemos trabajar mas en esta area con Vds. BG es un "clase" entre Profesor y Alumno. La aula es un cuadrigo, no?

Aqui les envío el calendario del evento que se publicó en el blog.
