Little urgent Mathures Prabhu on board

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja, Pamho, AGTSP!

I had a nice conversation with Mathures Prabhu. He accepted to be examiner for Bhakti sastri for ISKCON Perú. We agreed to do it with a team. We'll see details later. He likes very much the idea to continue our work with ISKCON Perú. However we have to clarify some issues on the basis of acintya aveda veda tattwa. He says everything through ISKCON, I say that ISKCON and ASA can work perfectly together in a cooperative way. I don't know why administrators have this fear that doing something a little different is a deviation.

I still have this two parallel goals: work for ISKCON and work for ASA. Ultimatetly is the same porpuse. I think that we have to continue with this debate among ISKCON administrators and entrepreneurs for the sake of ISKCON development.

We can talk more when you are in USA.

Thank you very much.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj

Dandavat Pranam unto your lotus feet.

All glories to Sri Gouranga and Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Hope you are in good health.

I would like to inform you that I am the son of your disciple Krsna Swaroop Das, Silchar, North East India. By the mercy of the Lord I have got the inspiration to join this blog.  Please forgive me Guru Maharaj for any offences I committed unto your lotus feet out of my ignorance during the short association I had with you during your last  visit to North East.From now onwards I shall try to keep in touch through this. Please be merciful to answer any silly questions which I may ask to you in future. Please inspire me to serve you and Srila Prabhupada.

Dandavat Pranam unto your lotus feet.

Your ignorant servant

Bishal

HpS - Hello, Bishal et al. Thank you for your letter. Our respects to your father, family, community. We did not feel offended in Silchar. Wonderful opportunity for preaching.

Are you chanting on beads regularly?

We publish our newsletter today at the webpage.

Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.3 to 1.1.8

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

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

Following is the summary of 1.1.3 and 1.1.8 as discussed last Sunday.

Classification of Chapter 1:

  • Verses 1-3 : Prelude to Srimad Bhagavatam
  • Verses 4-8 : Setting the scene for Srimad Bhagavatam
  • Verses 9-end : Six questions

Verse summaries:

  • V1:  Absolute truth
  • V2 : Srimad Bhagavatam is the essence
  • V3: Devotees who relish SB
  • V4: Naimisharanya and devotees are well-wishers of everybody
  • V5: Qualities required for the speaker and the listener of Srimad Bhagavatam
  • V6: Goswamis’ qualifications
  • V7: Six philosophies
  • V8: Secret of success in spiritual life

Other Important points:

  • To really understand Srimad Bhagavatam, we have to come to the stage of non enviousness.
  • Verses 1,2 and 3 are spoken by Vyasa.
  • Srimad Bhagavatam is the ripened fruit of Vedic literature, full of juice, it is not to eat but to drink.
  • Krsna is Akhila rasa murti.
  • While reading Srimad Bhagavatam Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Gadadhara Pandit used to shed so many tears that the whole Srimadbhagavatam’s ink disappeared and it became empty.
  • If we hear Srimad Bhagavatm from a non devotee it is like drinking milk touched by a serpent.
  • No one should sit on Vyasasana until they are free from the 4 vices: meat eating, intoxication, illicit sex and gambling.
  • In Naimisharanya Vshnu never closes his eyes.
  • Ashtavakra is a monist.

HpS - ASA -  Thank you!!!   What is the reading for next Sunday???

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

Hare Krishna Dear Maharaj!
 

Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupad! All glories to Sri Gaurangaaa! All glories to you! 
 

I was writing in regards to your update on the blog with Delta – and praying to serve you in some way! Would it be okay for my family and I to sponsor an upgrade to your ticket?! To business or first class?! If you send your flight details, I can work out the upgrade on my end and send it back to you.
 

Or you could modify if you prefer and then just send the bill for the ticket! Please let me know! 
 

When are you leaving India, and where are you heading to next? Houston? Please please please let us be of service! I understand your health has been wavering and would very much be obliged if I can assist in any way for your comfort for such a long journey. 
 

Thank you for your mercy!
 

Your aspiring servant,

(this was sent as an email as well-- intended for whichever you checked first!)

HpS - Thank you. We just answered this and the next letter with copies to Jiva Goswami in Texas. If it can be upgraded by your friend that is O.K.    However, we think that the Upgrade effort will only work if Krsna wants. If He wants it will have a negative effect and we will get to the airport and they will say, "Oh, something has happened to your ticket and it is cancelled!".

Haw!   Haw!   Hurray!.      Maya tries to make us furious at Her.  Hate her, lust after her, she doesn't care. In either case we are attached dominating her and not serving Krsna. She has her job. We don't concern oursleves with it too much unless it is part of our service also!

Delta's Answer

8 years, 4 months ago by hps in Calendar Development

Hare Krsna!  Hare Rama!

It took almost one month for the answer from Delta, and it seems that they have a poorly paid employee who reads many letters like ours daily and then picks a form letter and fills in some spaces in the letter with extracts from the complaint letter and then gives a token compensation of Sky Miles and goes on to the next letter. It is actually funny, crazy! How can people exist like this? Of course, they can't. Marsha does this out of fear of death and starvation and humiliation and abandonment and drowns her sorrows in some form of intoxication.

We would say that the best preaching strategy in these situations is the one that it appears Prahlad Maharaja adopted when preaching to his father: Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (7.5.30) and the few accompanying texts. Apparently he did not think his father would accept his comments, but at least he heard the truth and at some point it would have an effect.

In Vrndavana Dhama only Krsna and Balarama kill demons. Everyone else just calls, "Hare Krsna!   Hare Rama!". . . unless K/B empower us to kill demons.

                  Whhooooosh@     Bang!     Gronk!!!       SMashHH!

Dear Dr. Robinson,

RE: Case Number 22345393

Thanks for your email letting us know about your scheduled trip from IAH with Air France. I'm really sorry your flight was delayed. I realize how frustrating it was to be rerouted to travel with KLM via Amsterdam, and because you had to wait so long in line when you arrived, you missed your connection with Jet Airways to Delhi and ended up spending the night at the airport. It's also disappointing to hear that you didn't get the care you were expecting when you were delayed.

I will be sure to forward your concerns on to our Airport Customer Service Leadership Team, so they can consider your experience when making needed changes to improve our service. 

Bonus Miles 
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but we're unable to offer a complimentary upgrade or ticket as you've requested. As a goodwill gesture, I’m adding 20,000 bonus miles to your SkyMiles account. They should be transferred into your account within three business days.  

We love that you're a SkyMiles member. We will do our best to serve you well on your next flight with us.

Regards,

Marsha Smith

Response Required: yes <hr />Message: I was booked on the above flight from IAH Charles De Gaulle and then to Delhi. Were are bored to return by your good airline on the 14th February. Were came in to IAH from Mexico on UA1025. The whole trip from Mexico to Delhi should have taken 24-hours. It took 68-hours. We were routed five times and had to pass two nights in benches in airports. In IAH Delta wrote us over to KLM. KLM gave us IAH boarding pass but said to to KLM counter in Amsterdam for Delhi boarding pass. We did. KLM left IAH two hours late and were had to wait in line at Amsterdam transfer desk for two hours. When we got to desk they said that we had missed the flight and would have to Peru for a new ticket. We explained that it was there delay. They waived the new cost but would not give room for the night. After will night in the airport we fought for our new boarding pass, now with Jet Airways. Got it but art the gate they rebooked us on a flight to Mumbai with connection to Delhi. Connection to Delhi was cancelled and rebooked for a flight six hours later. We're like 70-years old. We had symptoms of a attack by the time this was over. We are here in India to lecture at several universities. We're monks for 40-years and can find happiness and value in any situation. In the sake of fair play for the faults of KLM and Jet can you upgrade us to First or Business classed on the way back. Thank you.
