Letters to the editor

Querido Gurudev: Pamho. Gracias por su carta.

A Purnamasi y a mi nos gustaria mucho poder verle aunque solo sean unos dias. No sabemos cuanto tiempo podremos disfrutar de su asociación personal. La vida da muchas vueltas.

Pienso que el primer criterio a tener en cuenta  para decidir lo de su viaje es su salud. El viaje no debe afectar de forma negativa su estado de salud.

El segundo criterio (puede que egoista) es la salud espiritual  y la satisfacción de los devotos. El tercer criterio podría ser su predica especifica. Se podría combinar todo.

Estamos a la espera de las noticias de otros devotos y de la opinión de usted que es determinante.

Hare Krisna

HpS - Jaya!!   Tenemos la misma comprehension de cosas. De una manera es suficiente para nosotros solamente ir a Espanya para ver Vds y Nitia.

Querido Gurudev: Pamho. Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que se encuentre bien cuando reciba este mensaje. Suelo estar al corriente por monkey warrior de lo que usted está haciendo en su programa de predica. Le escribí una carta en Enero y no he recibido contestación; posiblemente la carta se haya extraviado (como lleva tanto tiempo en India no será facil mantener el correo al dia.

La cuestión es que he visto que hay alguna posibilidad de que venga a España una semana en Abril. Creo que una semana no da para mucho viaje y lo mas sensato sería NVM-Madrid. Está en el centro de España y todos los discipulos podrían acercarse a verle-escucharle.

Por lo demás, mi vida sigue un curso similar al de hace un año o diez años. Nuestro objetivo sigue siendo volvernos devotos del Señor Krisna o del Señor Caitanya, o de los Dos.

Sin más un saludo

Su sirviente

Jayanta das

HPS - ASA -- Thank you for your association Swami Jayanta das! Our perspective is the same as yours that there would not be much time for travel and everyone could accommodate at NVM. Also it seems the dates of travel are dictated by God. It's Rama navami. We would hare a Festival for a focus, and from 2-11 April the tickets are $500 cheaper than any other time.

So far only a few devotees, students, friends have responded and 75% have said that they find it hard to travel from their city to any other place in a Spain or Europe so please travel to their city.

We would like to talk with people like Editorial Siruela or contacts that we get from Ramon or others about our particular Sankirtan.

Our health, energy is very, very low. We may be saying good bye to Brother Ass unless some very good quality Japa turns us around.

As we mentioned in the Kapi Dhvaja it has been impossible to travel and answer letters. Too many people catch us for conversation. Now, if we can get a practical basis in Japa we should be able to get our letters under control.

We will Tweet and Blog our Japa status. Right now it does not seem really practical to visit Spain, but we need to hear more of your opinion and the opinion of others, soon.

Mi querido Maharaja, mi nombre es Claudio y vivo junto a mi esposa (Saci devi dasi)  en Buenos Aires Argentina. Tengo 3 hijos unos de los cuáles esta iniciando por Su Gracia Purushatraya  Swami Maharaja (Mathura das). 
Participó en un Bhakti Vriksa desde el 2013 .
El motivo de esta carta es pedirle que me acepte como su discípulo. 
Tengo 56 años y mi profesión es la de Contador Publico. 
Comence a practicar conciencia de Krishna en el 2012 y desde hace mas de 1 año que estoy cantando 16 rondas y siguiendo los principios regulativos. 
Actualmente estoy ocupado en varios servicios: 
- Encargado del BBT Argentina
- Asesor contable del Templo de Bs As
- Lidero un Bhakti Vriksa junto a mi esposo en nuesta casa. 
Cuando lo conocí ahí por el año 2013 me inspiró mucho escuchar sus clases y tener su asociación.
También participe de sus conferencias en Mayapur (India) en Febrero 2016 y tome el curso de discípulo en 2015. 
Yo había tomado refugio de Gunagrahi Maharaja hace unos años atrás y justo cuando estaba por ser iniciado paso lo que todos ya sabemos. 
Tuvimos una conversación en la última oportunidad que Ud. visitó Bs. As. en donde le conté de mi servicio en el BBT. 
Actualmente mi deseo profundo es recibir sus instrucciones y que me acepte como su eterno sirviente.
Esperando su misericordia sin causa. 
Bhakta Claudio
PD: copio esta carta a Prema Rupa Madhava das (mi líder de Bhakti Vriksa) [email protected] y a Maha Hari das (Presidente de ISKCON Argentina) [email protected] con lo que tengo sus recomendaciones

HPS - ASA -- Use translate.google.com. We are to weak to do any service as Diksa guru right now, but we may improve. In any case you can be initiated in ISKCON by any one of the many other Diksa-gurus as you are following nicely Srila Prabhupada's discipline, no?

Please write more to this Blog. Your letter doesn't seem to confidential for this forum, no?

Thank you very many.

All Glories to Sri HpS Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Bhativedanta Swami Prabhupada

Radha Krsna, Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brnda Ki Jay

Dandavat Pranam,

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna, Prabhu!!!    We are sorry that it has taken some time to answer your letter. While we were traveling we had meetings with many devotees every day and could not get to the mail. This is the first day alone and your letter is in the first group to answer!!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's Padmacharan that after Guruji's leaving Manipur, my mind could not get peace and always thinking how we will continue Temple Programme regularly. From that day we are also participating regularly every Sunday Programme.

HpS - Sadhu sang, sadhu sanga, sarva sastra koi, Associate with devotees, associate with devotees, all the Sastra's say, "Associate with devotees", this will make everything perfect. Of course, Rupa Goswami in NOI 5 and 6 describes that there are different kinds of devotees, so we have to learn the GREAT, GREAT, art of taking and giving association in the proper ways.

A good news is that once Guruji Maharaja and some members of ISKCON including Partha Sarthi Das met our Chief Minister, O. Ibobi Singh about the development work of creating new Vrndaban  at Kaina from where the Jack fruit tree collected for creation of Radha Krsna Murti (Daruk Murti) got a news that a site for ISKCON  will be reserved there. The detail information will be furnished after the Assembly election of Manipur on the 4th and 8th March, 2017.

HpS - Very interesting. Another place to discuss Krsna!

Haridas Prabhu is coming during Goura Purnima in Imphal and one day he will come to Thoubal also.

HpS - Jaya!   We saw him during the two nights we were in Mayapura.

Nanda Gopa Das is translating some A.C. Prabhupadas Book in Manipuri and will print shortly.

Some months ago once I had requested to highlight the planatery system of Spiritual world (Srsti lila) Goloka Vrndavan – Veikuntha - Karnadaksaya Visnu-Garbadhaksaya Visnu - Khirodaksaya Visnu etc. and from where we will find these things?

ASA - Try starting with SB, Canto 2, Chapter 9. There is much more in other places.

And there are four stages (life) of human being in the spiritual world. What are they? Please let me know?

HpS - Brahmacari, Grhastha, Vanaprastha, Sannyasa. There are some nice descriptions in the instructions of Bhisma deva to Maharaja SB 1.9.26-27.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS -Who is coming on Sunday?

HARE KRISHNA Guru Maharaja!

This morning through StartMeeting you ask me that I gotta write to the blog, informing about this sankirtan day...

SUN DAY OF LOVE

After StartMeeting, there was a misunderstanding between Luis and Abhimanyu together his girlfriend. So, they held a long discussion and suddenly I saw myself in the role of mediator.

Their respective egos did not agree... At least, the tensions generated in the environment were a little softened. And we went out to delivery the books.

Under the Sun, very hard hours... , on a walk near the beach, also on a pier, later a park... in front of a shoping center... person by person... remembering yesterday, people took many "Sankhya" books, but I forgot to take those books with me today...

I stopped to chant some rounds... sitting on the pier floor, an old woman came to me and asked "What books do you sell?", and she took one... I started to chant again... I closed my eyes because the bodies of women walking around distract me... a group of young people came to me and asked the same thing... they took some books and I felt "Krishna wants me doing sankirtan", so I started again and applied the style of distribution that I observed of Abhimanyu Das: I would approach people, shook my hand and I gave a book... it works...

It is difficult to me again to see women as spiritual souls, and this mind affects my sankirtan.

Tomorrow will be another day to try again. I wanna do it into the city buses.
...

Gurudeva, I owe you a report about what happened with my life during the last months.

To day I was remembering our first meet, the interview into the goverment palace...

Thanks, many thanks...

Your aspiring disciple and servant,
CARLOS ROLD
 

HpS - Thank you for the news. Is very, very inspiring. Everybody has problems with the false egos of others!  Not just us!  Just go out with the books!    Send us news of your life as it seems important.

HpS - That's O.K.    If I write in simple English that I know the Google robot will understand then the translations by Google are very nice.
