Letters to the editor

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

In Introduction of D. Haberman's rendition of Bhaktirasamrtasindhu, there are  citations from Neal Delmonico (aka Nitai das). Considering the case Nitai had with Srila Prabhupada, how should we take that D. Haberman cites Nitai?

AC Bhaktivedanta Swami - Letter to: ALL GBC MEMBERS -- Vrindaban 15 September, 1976

NOTE TO ALL GBC MEMBERS:

Please let it be known that Nitai has become a venomous serpent. Be careful of him.

Your servant Namacarya das

HpS - Thank you very much. We did not know his secular name. Prabhupada praised s book that Satsvarupa Maharaja wrote for university students, dating that he had chief Si many demons but his bio had not been contaminated.

We would have to look at the individual citations. We disagree with some of the things D Haberman says. We try to use it for its practical knowledge. DH respects devotees, devotee scholars.

. Lord Chaitanya took Sannyasa in Mayavadu sampradaya took reach the scholars etc.

O.K?

Dearest Esteemed Guru Maharaj,

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

I am most humbled that you remembered a sinner like me. I feel that I am still very much a toddler in my spiritual life. I often try to walk, but fall again and again. Many a time, I have hurt myself from the fall. I am now trying to improve my sadhana. I am keeping a better track of how many rounds are remaining from my daily 16 rounds, and if some were left, I try to complete them the next day or before the end of the week. The one thing that I keep forgetting is the importance of taking shelter of you Guruji and taking your association. I get so involved and mentally insecure about my life, my job, my salary, my finances, my accounts, my taxes, on and on, etc..., that I forget to take shelter. I recently visited the church! It was the TAMUK BSM - Texas A&M University - Kingsville Baptist Student Ministry. One student invited me for a prayer session and so I went with him. I learned a lot and gained insight forcing me to reflect on my own faith from the prayers and sermon. The priest definitely put a lot of emphasis on the word of God and how the word became Jesus. I remember how you used to teach us about the Logos in your own lectures. I realized how much need there is for me to study the scriptures, both of my own Vaishnava tradition and the Christian faith, from which we can also learn a lot. I sometimes or often times feel bogged down by my corporeal desires, especially relating to material success. I think what life would have been like if I did not have those desires and if I led a much simpler life. The church sermon especially pointed out something that showed how shallow my relationship with God was. In John 4, Jesus talks with a Samaritan woman who accepts his word and spreads it to her townspeople. The woman was not a follower of Christ for any miracle or for any material gifts, but for his word. I realized how shallow my relationship with the Paramatma Shri Krishna was, wherein I ask him for material gains and don't ever think of worshipping Him only for His sake or knowing Him only for His sake. 

Maharaja, I have far to go on the spiritual path and am only an infant in wake of God's path.

Your aspiring servant,

Aja Govinda dasa

.HpS AgtSP! Paoho. Sita abandoned her program with the university in Cuzco?

 your news is very nice to hear. Pray chant, to get a deep program from Krsna. Who are you keeping for associates?

again, your program seems super. You seem to be making a very substantial contribution to the happiness of this world

Dear Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Seguimos esforzándonos para terminar nuestras 16 rondas diarias, y seguir los 4 principios… Maya es fuerte y siempre que encuentre hierba mala alrededor de nuestra plantita del Bhakti, las usara como instrumentos para tentarnos, así que vamos a trabajar en nuestro jardín…

En estos meses desde que Usted se fue de Perú, nos invitaron para apoyar a programas de predica a Huancayo y Cusco… Ahora estamos ya un par de semanas en nuestro cuarto en Chosica, con Karunamayi, Arjuna y Sita… Ellos vinieron del Cusco dejando sus planes, por 6 meses, con la esperanza de poder ir al Santo Dham… Ahora con Krsna Balaram, Lord Nrishimhadev y sus asociados, somos muchos para un cuarto… Intentaremos buscarnos un mejor lugar pronto, pero todos estaremos según lo programado hasta final de febrero en Chosica… Espero que ellos le manden su propio reporte….

Nos hemos involucrado en un programa de Harinam de tres horas diarias por 6 meses (ya llevamos un mes) y a lo mejor Guru y Gauranga puedan complacerse con nosotros y abrirnos las puertas del Santo Dham para Gaura Purnima 2017…. Aparte de este reporte le estoy enviando dos cartas más…. Si Usted necesita más detalles, estamos listos para responder… Estamos tratando de seguir sus instrucciones, que es donde residen las bendiciones del maestro espiritual… Que podríamos hacer sin ellas? Por favor bendíganos para poder seguir adelante en esta lucha…

                                                                   Su tonto discípulo AmD.

Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!

We are continuing striving to finish our 16 rounds daily, and following the 4 principles ... Maya is strong and always finds bad weed around our little plant of Bhakti, she will use as instruments to tempt us, so we will work on our garden ...

In these months since you left Peru, we were invited to support programs of preaches in Huancayo and Cusco ... Now we are already a couple of weeks in our room in Chosica, with Karunamayi, Arjuna and Sita ... They came from Cusco leaving their plans, for 6 months, with the hope to go to the Holy Dham ... Now with Krsna Balaram, Lord Nrishimhadev and Their associates, we are many for a room ... We will try to get us a better place soon, but we will all be, as scheduled, until the end of February in Chosica ... I hope they will send their own report ....

We have engaged in a Harinam program of three hours daily for 6 months (and we took one month) at best Guru and Gauranga can please with us and open the doors of the Holy Dham to Gaura Purnima 2017 .... Apart from this report I am sending two letters .... If you need more details, we are ready to respond ... We are trying to follow your instructions, where reside the blessings of the spiritual master ... what could we do without them? Please bless us to move forward in this fight ...

Hare Krsna,

Sigue la respuesta de Mathuresa Das acerca de su situacion:

Estimado Maharaja:
Pamho, agtSP
Esta pareja ha tenido varias oportunidades para servir en Iskcon. Parece que sus problemas son muy graves y en esta situación no son aptos para servir en nuestra comunidad por el momento. Podríamos darles más posibilidades, pero creo que va a hacer más daño (a ellos ya Iskcon) que bien.
En este punto, si son bienvenidos en el programa de Vrinda, les diría que encontrar alguna asociación allí hasta que consiguen sus mentes y vidas personales juntos y tratar de nuevo con nosotros. Por supuesto, yo sugeriría que se mantienen en contacto con usted para los informes y asesoramiento espiritual.
Esa es mi humilde opinión.
Ys

O.K. Una reportaje despues de una semana:

1. Cuantos rondas cada dia?

2. Cuatro principios?

3. Vrnda?

4. Buscando asociacion de unas buenas personas.

Krsna es su amigo ultimo. Nunca va a dejar Vd. si tratar tomar refugio de el.

Hare Krisna maharaja

PAMHO AGTSP

Am  I suffering ?

Or may be I am surfing

May be I am surfering

in the material world.

Right now in Alicante 

Our plan was to perform some Sankirtana (Book distribution) Jagya but as usuall Krisna had some other plans.

Got involved in Yasodanandana prabhu Krisna cusine Lila.

Yadu Swami, Nitiananda prabhu and my good self try to help in the mediation.

Finally we got a win win solution by krisna´s merci.

We are trying to help Yasodanandana prabhu´s family to stablish in Radadesh.

He has a sister in brussels and she would like to support and we belife is a nice place for the children to grow.

Yasodanandana prabhu is allready there. Lets see wich are the plans of the teenager and his flute.

Marta and my self keep surfing in the material world dressing the mess with some bhakti stuff.

Basic shadana 16/4 reg

Dealing with some cyatic nerve pain and geting recover from the 3 years service in Madrid slowly but surely.

Some book distribution

Taking care of the veg garden (we are now 70 % food self suffency, got potatos, and pumquins for the whole winter and plenty of salad and beets, carrots, Kale, cabagge, chard , etc) we eat simply but healthy

Also developing some euro funding projects:

Took some 15 second generation devotees to the slovenian padayatra for 15 days it was a crazy, nice trip. All of the boys and girls restablish their identities as young vaisnavas, many of them cried on the begining because did not want to come and then cried at the end because they did not want to go back home.

These Euro funding and the sankirtan is helping us to get out of debts and hopefully we will get rid of on the beguining of 2017.

Also helping yadunandana swami´s institute and other ISKCON friendly projects to get acces to the funding.

We also got a nice second hand 9 seats van and we are using it in the service of the sankirtan and the devotees.

So Basicaly we have our base at north Spain, taking care of my lovely vrindavan son. 

He will go to university in 2 and 1/2 years then we will see.

Doing some sankirtan and some devotee care.

Taking care of the garden and working with second generation and euro funding.

From the administrative point of view I am under the authoritie of Yadunandana Swami and GBC Hrdaya Caitanya but basicaly running my own organitation www.asociacion-nandagram.org

One devotee asked me if I worship my own deities and then I thought that the devotees are my deities I am not patient enough to worshes but I love to help devotees to fulfill their dreams and to solve their obstucles so for now on I will acept devotees as my deities.

Miss you a lot

Hope to see you soon

HPS - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. Thank you for your letter. First principle is that we can die at any moment. A driver can lose control on the highway and smash your body into mutilated corpse or... first we accept this principle and give our life to Krsna. Then the witch cannot touch us.

Then understand your service to Krsna and Prabhupada. Talk with them.

Then develop your team, friends. Then look at the institution. It may be good it may be bad. Accept it as it is and work to help it.

That was Prahlada attitude toward his father, institution.
