Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna,
Esteemed Manonatha Das, Cakori-radha DD Prabhus,
Whatever is sent us in these matters is public amongst our friends. I've just made that decision as a Sannyasi. Here is Cakori's reponse to us and I hope she sent a copy to you, Manonatha Das. Details beyond this I don't know. The question would be, did she take money that went to the Developer, then take 2%, and contribute ton of work, and then the current relation is between you, Manonatha Das and the Developer.

O.K.   Her comment is in the letter below and I will publish in our Blog also so everyone has had there say in this.

See you all  in Delhi 1st January maybe.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Dear Guru Maharaja
Manonath Maharaja
Please accept my obeisances,
I have very little knowledge about what is been talk in vrindavan, since I had to shift to Delhi due to work.
I had a nervous beack down a comple of months ago due to external factors  (not eating well, long travels and little sleep) since then my husband has taken my phone and media usage.
First I would like to make clear that to the only person I have talk about any of anything to do with manonath maharaja is a disciple of gurupasad swami, Parameshvari devi dasi, not even my husband! she is a nice person. I, under my knowledge have never said anything about sexual exploitations. The only coment I ever maid was that, I thought I should not have so much contact with a maharaja. Specially when my intelligence told me that to. Though I explained her that I did felt ofended by the statement that she said maharaja said that I took advantage of maharaja financially.
I did a couple of sales (3) in vrindavan to different people and I charge 2% of the value of the property including 40.000 of inscription to everyone . Beyond the 40.000 of inscription owner has to pay the rest.
So I sold the property and got a really good price for him + extra square meters,    Usually the properties are ready, so I offer myself to help finish the 2 flats, because they where not finished. And  I did help, more than 2 months (almost 3) supervising. Going 4 days a week with money of my pocket. I bought the tiles doors, change the doors when they broke, (do to some weather conditions) The only things I left without making was to put the AC and installing the fan (that I bought),  but the flats where  ready, finished . At this point I start working in delhi from 8 to 8 and I couldn't and didn't wanted to continued. I return parameshari 3.000 that I got left from the 18.000 that maharaja ledt for expenses.  But I fail to give her the 7 fans. Due to multiple reasons, one of them an internal fight I had with her.
So the fana are in the house of a devotee in vrindavan, Where I left also a cople of things.
I don't have parameshvari's phone number, and I don't want to talk with her also. So I left it for tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and it never came.
I offer Maharaja through parameshvari to do the inscription of the property with a devotee, Vrindavan das. But according to her, maharaja didn't  wanted to, which I understand.
So honestly I do understand the upsetting of Maharaja. But also I think that I did help plenty and more that what i was supposed to do. To be treated like that for 15.000
I have never acted wrongly,  only when I broke principles with my husband before we where married, but I talk about that with my Guru Maharaja. I do procrastinate things, and it is a big fault that affects other.
So if there is any more information I can help with. But I'm unable to go to vrindavan untill February, because I work all day and take care of my children beside, my husband is outside the country.
And to be Honest Guru Maharaja I did say something to parameshvari in confidential and I told her that it was guhyam akhyati pricchati, but I never said anything bad about maharaja, I only talk about me, my point of view and my perspective about how much a woman should associate with a Guru, and how carefully we have to be. To don't commit ofenses. And i ask her to start helping me finish his apartment, like bringing things upstairs and installing  the AC and fans. So to be clear, I charge him 2% of the value of the property for selling it to him. I did not charge for 3 months of supervision, or buying furniture or mayerials nor the transportation. Maharaja gave me 18.000 for expenses for the apartments and I gave 3.000 to parameshvari that I had left. Remaining is 15.000 that I used to buy the fans + the car I used. I have them in vrindavaan, but I can not give them untill February, but I can transfer the money to parameshvari. 
I hope that I have made this more clear.
Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!

AGTSP.   paoho & bw....   5.57PM.     We are seeing more and more that we are neither demons nor Rupa Goswami.  We may have to sleep more than perfect arrangment. We may have to eat more pnut butter and sugar than is ideal. We may have to read more historical literature than is connected to our service, but when the day is in the mode of goodness, when we have your association, then we get some practical intelligence about how to deal with our physical, social, and personal environment and join this Sankirtan movement.

I think all we can do is to try to produce some literature like the KRSNA book and the VDM for the modern man.

Many people can't read these directly so we have to put it in their language.

Every cowherd boy has thousands of cows under his personal protection. Reader!  You should consider having thousands of disciples.

=========

No news from Pune!!  When shall we go there?

Talked with Rama-giri-dhari Das for like  1-1/2 hours yesterday after like two weeks of no talks!  Calendar 90% fixed for India.    Also, regular conversations with Abhirama Thakura Das about Solaris and the Psychology and the Sacred 2017 program.

April - Brazil - Argentina

June Seattle, Peru, Chile

But at first look the tickets are a little expensive. We keep looking.

Dark, Dark, Dark  [[[[[[[[[[depressive]]]]]]]] outside.  Now we take bath and go to NGD house for program.

Mail answered up to three days ago.

AS LONG AS WE ARE CHANTING HARE KRSNA, LORD CAITANYA CAN USE US.

AGTSP and YOU!!!

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva... PAMHO

Here is the report ...

Fisrt, i have to say that back to usual sadhana will take some time but we are very enthusiastic and positive...

Since the last letter i planned many things but at the end i had to keep what i really can do ... So until this last EKADASI I have been chanting 6 rounds a day, reading Srimad Bhagavatam and worshipping deities... To be honest it took a lot of effort at the beginning ....  Aristotle said: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." So we are trying to be fixed.

HpS - ASA -  The Black Witch is NOT happy with you!

Our plan is to increase 2 rounds each ekadasi... so  this Saturday (Nov 26th) we started chanting 8 rounds... Of course this is just a plan... i have to see how things go in order to not fail again... I want to keep things sane and back to 16 rounds but naturally...

thanks a lot for all your support and patience...

your servant

Patraka Das

HpS -- Raktak Das has gone, next Patraka Das, then Citraka Das?   If we are trying to follow Srila Prabhupada's instruction: 16-nice rounds, 4-principles strictly etc...   Then he is trying to catch hold of our hands and pull us out of this Samsara.
Do you want to be rich?
Do you want fame and friends?
But in Vrndavana all these things see their highest, pure end.

We are struggling just like you. Most likely you are more sincere than we are.  Sadhana leads to Karma-yoga. You can get your secular Karma connected to Krsna!   Zoooooom!!!!!

Paoho...

AgtSP

Agt Guru y Gauranga

Jay Radha and Krsna!

Jay Vrndavan Dham!

Jay Braja vasis!!

Jay Raktak Das!

I´m Budanath das.

My humble condolences, and congratulations.

My concern for the family, especially women and children.

ASA - If Krsna takes someone like that then He takes care of that persons family responsibilities personally!   Good deal!

In music it is demonstrated that the first LP of a music group, marks the whole course of that group of music, it is possible that it moves to one side or another, but it will always be the backbone of its race and its base in the success. I imagine it will be the Muhurta creator of that group of music. In the same way, Raktak Das, Your first disciple, with the high end he has obtained, I imagine that shows the nature of You, and of Your music, Your disciples.

HpS - We can form a herd of pigs together in our Braja in our next life?

I will pray for the glory of Your disciple Raktak Das, and I will ask him to sprinkle some mercy on me. I feel a very healthy envy.

I wish all the best to his family, I will ask Krsna for them.

I'm fine. Going through a very personal stage. I imagine my stars have been and are moving. I need time to sort my thoughts, my life, everything. My principles ok, sadhana, although it could be better.

I need peace and quiet a few days or a season to think. Pray more. Find more Radha and Krsna.

Thank you very much for everything, and again my condolences.

I will not be long in writing to you.

Jay, Raktak Das!!!

Hare Krsna!

SATAKA 16
***5 If you yearn for what is above the material and spiritual worlds, then wholeheartedly love Lord Madana-mohana. Don’t live in a crowded city. Live in Vrndavana. Offer respects to all living entities there. Never offend them.

6 In Vrndavana please worship the very wonderful splendor that has all transcendental opulence, that is an eternal ocean of ever-new wonderful, sweet, perfect handsomeness, that is wonderful with mercy, forgiveness, and other virtues, and that has a form that enchants Kama.

......Hare Krsna......

PAMHO! AGTSP!

So much for my proof reading skills. It was supposed to read: 'I just have to work out who the bride is going to be'.

Another punchline massacred.

Thanks for the encouraging words nonetheless Maharaj. I will give my best to Adi P.

Hari-haribol.

Your servant,

Janardan-hari das. 

HpS - Know any good lawyer jokes?

Pamho adored Gurudev. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you very much for your reply. ExCuse me please for always writing to you so much.

This month was wonderful because we did Gaura Aratik everyday to sing Damodarastakam. The Mechitas [ghee wick lamps] make a magical atmosphere. Gopalito surprised us a lot, singing with us, although in a blasted way, he knows the tones very well! ... My only vows were not to fail to sing and offer mechitas morning and afternoon..and increase one round. But now increase the number of rounds.

Dream 4 times with [of] you. In a dream was also Maharaja Jayapataka. In another, you said to me: you are failing to read as you should. Now is a good time to read.

Thank you for your daily writing instruction. It serves me a lot.

I was getting up late many times... I was already worried... But always after ekadasi i start again.

I try to go on Saturdays to do dance performances. My great inspiration is the little girls who get to dance, especially when I dance Krsna Makanchor.. me surprising how this song attracts children.

I ask Her please for Her blessings to make a good Sadhana, to be a good Mother, companion and to continue dancing and that my approach is to please Krsna.

When I invite people to the program of preaching to encounter people who read the Bhagavad Gita, etc. It makes me happy to know that they somehow conect with Srila Prabhupada.

Thanks Gurudev for his inconceivable mercy. Please accept Franco and Gopalito dandavats.. please excuse my offenses.

Learning to be his disciple: Radha japa prati jalpa dd.

HpS - ASA --- Very nice letter, Thank you.

Who are some prominent devotees, people, in your Yatra? What regular functions, festivals to you have?

Get up early and get your rounds done. That is the BEST way to be a good Mother, Wife, friend...
