Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Very happy to hear from you. True, we can see that you are at Rural Castle in Spain.
    Do you like rural area? Like - village or small town?

HpS - They have like six cows here, lots of fresh milk, beautiful deities. About 10-minutes from small town of Brihuega by auto. Agriculture is not so good because of the soil and the weather. Village and town are both nice for Sankirtan.   Our pear tree that we planted has survived the Winter and is beginning to have flowers!

    No, did not received the key (to your room) to back to the Temple. I convey the message to HG RGD.
    He will send soon.

HpS - Oooof!     We will try to be better guests!

    You are always inspiration for all of us. When we think about you we get energy, hope and path.
    You are light for us in 'bad times'.

    i feel very bad, when my regular schedule for spiritual activates get affected by material schedule.

HpS - Perfecting Vaidhi bhakti means learning how to adjust the program in terms of different schedules, no?  Jayananda Das would leave for the vegetable market very early, when they were doing most of their business, so he would not be in Mangala arati in the temple, but he would take two Bhaktas with him and sing the Gurvastakam and Kirtan while driving.
    Then i think about you and get path. You always travel across the globe but your spiritual schedule don't get
    affected by anything.

    Because of you Krsan helps us, guide us if we are honest about our Sadhna, otherwise we are far from Krsna.

    Do you have plan to come in India in Karthik ? in Vrndavan?

HpS - We mentioned this in the last Kapi Dhavaja.  We are still investigating. We get back from South America the 26th of July, then one plan is that we should leave the 26th of August for Hawaii and Australia and then go on to India. That gives us only one month without travel!   We are investigating.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - AGTSP!!!   Paoho.  Thank you for the news.   Please also write about your Deity seva!

 Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances on this auspicious, beautiful day of Ram Navami.

I wish to inform you that after receiving Harinam diksha at Radha Damodara temple at Toubul,the birth place of Sripad Maharaj, every Sunday after Srimad Bhagavatam class, we go for Nagar Sankirtan and it is  a real exalting experience for me.

HpS - ASA -- For everyone, no?!!

I wish to seek your blessings to make this programme more attractive and more meaningful . How best can we go about spreading the sweet Lord's  name through these kirtans? We are a small group of devotees attending Srimad Bhagavatam classes regularly. The response has been indescribably sweet and blissful.

Ardently seeking Your forgiveness always,

Your humble servant,

Sarada Gaurangi Devi Dasi

Manipur

HpS - In Manipur they already have so many nice elements in their Nagar Sankirtan, no?  Many colorful flags is very important. Devotees chanting with pure heart (following four principles). Devotees dressed nicely, some maybe in costumes. Very nice flyers, booklets to hand out. Prasadam in bags. Stop and do some short dramas some times: Scholar and the Boatman, Bird in the Cage...

O.K?   Send some fotos.

I have to say , I have just now, even though I'm getting richer from nem decentralized blockchain.. my mother would I guess want me to suffer as much as possible, because I defended my step little brother (for whom I had to tell in the winter why he couldn't see his father for twenty years, it was because his mother started a police investigation on my father about pedophily 20 years almost ago, just to get a complete denial for my father to see his child, but he is a drunkard also, but never seen him doing pedophily), not her child, and especially Srila Prabhupada.

My mother's fear is very strong now, because I was so stupid that I moved in with one of Bhakti Vikasa Swami's disciples named IP dasa, after I lost my only love in life.. Nitai Priya Devi Dasi.... I moved in with IP and his young girl friend, very much Krishna-consciousness trying girl. But soon it became obvious that he was only taking oxycont, burning it from aluminum foil,,,   that was his secret, and he said at the beginning already,, that he had already slept one night with my ex... but I mean oxycont is very strong opiate,,  so I guess he just tried to make me so called [xxx], or how it is said. Sorry my language. [It's O.K. Piggy censored it] But that seemed to be all the game about. But we had, thank Krishna, only one year rental contract, so I got away. But he became very like dominating towards the end, I guess he was afraid I would talk too much. But he made it all himself. How could one live in heaven forever and speak just for warmth of it?? He spoke how he started using book distribution to get XXX, and always he kept saying that women love XXX, ok so he has made 5 theater plays for ISKCON.. but. And then I heard in last winter that he would been XXX. And now in more spring I heard from Mahabala, another rape accusation from Turku Finland, about him, and another was his girlfriend's friend. But I had to came out when I heard that my ex Nitai Priya had a black eye, because she started drinking with different guys when we split up, even though lived ten years in temples all around the world, even though she said that she was only looking boys, I still don't see it like that, but that's my problem, we split up, when my father's father died and I tried consolidate him and tell about Krishna, but he was always yelling completely drunken that I should leave that non secy auntie type Nitai. And at the same time Nitai's father took alcohol and medications too much, and fell in wc and got a brain injury, quite bad, so wasn't seeing her too much, just listening to my father.

But the problem seems to be, for me now, that some freightening guys in Helsinki, Finland temple wants to defend somehow him , or maybe not, or maybe it slowly changes, but you know an actor on opiates, is very good, Maharaja, I think you have seen this. But I started thinking, because my mother so crazily detests all the movement, even though  she is artist, not always, but most of the times she continues making insults, and she wants me into mental asylum, to a looney house. Still I started a thinking process, that how are they treating people in here, in ISKCON, but maybe it's just my mother's endless anger, the darkness almost itself.

By the way, through Ter Kadamba Devi Dasi I got into contact with you, she saw me in Krishna Kshetrta Swami's facebook pages making some comments, and started to speak for me in private messages. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Sriila Prabhupada.. I was waay too blue eyed about people who have diksha...

Hare Krishna, thyine humble servant(trying) Nanuk Henrichs

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!  Jaya!  Your letters give a very strong perspective on things.  http://www.vedabase.com/en/iso/11

We should focus on the pure, spiritual world, but if we don't also take constant attention to the contamination of the material world, we will become Sahajiyas and take spiritual life cheaply, like fairy tales.

Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada y a su sankirtana eterno

Hare Krsna querido gurudeva, PAMHO, aquí seguimos luchando en mantener nuestros votos de iniciada para llegar a ser algún día un discípulo decente de Ud y de Srila Prabhupada, aveces sentimos satisfacción cuando hacemos todo el proceso de conciencia de krsna y aveces lo vemos como una carga y cómo un deber, pero sabemos que es la única finalidad de venir a éste mundo.

HpS - ASA -- In Upadesamrta B. S. Sarasvati Maharaja comments that if we are following K.C. just because we understand it is the correct thing to do, but have no taste yet, that is O.K. If we follow the process given by the Acharyas then (NOI-7) our natural taste will reawaken!

Sin conciencia de krsna no hay sentido de vivir.

ASA - Hallelujah!    Allaha Akbar!!

Le envío fotos de la comunidad de los devotos que hay aquí, p. Hari Harananda.

Lamentablemente no pudimos ir a India, tuvimos que venir a Huancayo  e invertir en los terrenos que le estaba  heredando su padre a p. Gadai Gauranga y bueno yo estaba muy cansada de seguir viajando y por eso decidí poner un restaurante aquí en Huancayo, perdóneme por no seguir viajando en sankirtana.

HpS - ASA -- It is normal. Stay in one place and grow your community to hundreds and thousands and more devotees.

decidimos construir algo aquí y cumplir en hacer una base de sankirtana para hacer marathones de sankirtana. Pero algo que siempre voy a apoyar es que mi esposo pueda seguir viajando aunque yo quizás ya no lo haga, o quizás de aquí un tiempo si tengo la misericordia de nitay y gauracandra.

estámos estudiando bhakti Baivava y ya nos nivelamos con el grupo y ya entramos al canto 2 con p. laksmana.

Aqui hay muchos jovenes animosos, una de ellas es Lindsay, ella como vive cerca al templo viene a mangala artik y está cantando unas rondas, quiere también aprender a hacer sankirtana. El Centro Cultural Bhaktivedanta tiene ya como 6 años haciendo Harinam, Food for Life, clases de Bhagavad Gita.

Si no podemos traerlo a Huancayo, definitivamente iremos a donde ud. vaya en al tour por Perú, tenemos muchas ganas de volverlo a ver. bueno me despido guru maharaj

¿ Cuándo ud. llega a perú?

HpS - Look at the Calendar in the Kapi Dhvaja for the dates!!

 Esperando y contándo los días para verlo

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.

HpS - ASA -- Gracias su carta y permitanos mantener contacto con Vds. Puede traducir esta carta en  www.translate.google.com.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada 

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes y respetuosas reverencias >ó--<

Le pedimos una disculpa por no escribir desde diciembre pero ahora si tenemos nuevas noticias, Gadadhar prabhu le escribió que nos vamos a mudar fuera de la ciudad de Monterrey en Canoas N.L., está a 50 minutos de distancia de Monterrey  y tenemos un contrato de compra a 4 años de un terreno con casa al rededor hay muchos arboles y la gente que vive es muy tranquila, no queremos sonar caprichosos en esta decisión pero bueno la situación fue muy favorable con el dueño quien conocimos en sankirtan se interesó mucho en la filosofía parece muy piadoso y todo se hará de una manera legal,  ahora estamos habilitando la casa para empezar a vivir en Mayo y empezar a sembrar y en un futuro comprar una o dos vacas y otros animales de granja pensamos ponerle el nombre de Nueva Goverdhan al terreno pues también la idea es invitar a los devotos hacer retiros, fiesta de prasadam kirtan y salir un poco del caos de la ciudad.

ASA - Esta es parte de un vision fuerte de Vd. personalmente?

Por ahora estamos bien de salud y cantando 16 rondas y 4 principios, se que con la presión de la mudanza mis rondas no son as mejores pero tratamos de esforzarnos en mejorar nuestra japa, ahora con nuestro pequeño Gopal y Jay Govinda claro que aveces es difícil pero tratamos de hacer las austeridades razonables, continuamos adorando nuestro altar y en Diciembre en su visita a México le comentamos sobre un devoto nos consideró para continuar adorando a las deidades que fueron del antiguo templo en Monterrey Sri Sri Radha Giridhari unas deidades en mármol de unos 50 centímetros aprox. estuvieron guardadas 5 años y ahora están en casa tenemos además el proyecto de construirles un altar en el terreno aparte de la casa para que se puedan adorar de una manera mejor y no cometer ofensas, se que yo no tengo segunda iniciación pero podemos hacerles ropa, guirnaldas, ayudar a cocinarles, limpiar su altar y mi esposo es Brahmana el si usted está de acuerdo, el puede hacer los rituales de adoración como la puja etc... para poder servirle de la mejor manera siempre y cuando usted nos de sus bendiciones porque no somos los mejores o los más cualificados pero parece que krsna tiene un plan para la conciencia de krsna y la prédica aquí. 

le agradecemos mucho su tiempo, sabemos que está viajando mucho y sus palabras siempre son como un oasis en medio del desierto 

su insignificante sirviente Ananda maya devi dasi 

HpS - ASA -- Muchas gracias su carta y noticias.   La pregunta encima y otro, que pasa con la Yatra de Monterrrey?  El bueno y algo de la mal.

hare krsna maharaj. Pamho. Agtsp.

we have got your earlier post we will reply later on that. Right now we are in mall typing on phone.

we read noi 2 then according to your advice went to sb 1.2.8 we got .. any occupational activity which does not help one to achieve attachment for hearing and chanting the transcendental message of Godhead is said herein to be simply a waste of time.

we thought till now occ duty is for maintaining body according to subtle gross nature.

can you please describe diff type of occupational duty which enhances hearing and chanting?

HpS - ASA -- Jaya!   Guess it is mostly just the intention. If you do your VAD activities to fill up your belly then that is one style, but if your do them because you want to do somthing in ISKCON, because it is fun, good for the world, then it is the other style. With style two, at the end of the day reading BG with devotees is extremely pleasureable. Who knows why?

general of ravana in last life....

ASA - Even fleas have littel fleas that bite them!    Yes, doing what we can do, for KRSNA, nicely, then we come to more fixed service then Bhajana Kriya. How is your PhD progressing?
