Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj. Pamho, AGTSP!

I'm in Chosica again doing my service on education.

I wrote to you before asking for permition to continue my service under ASA due to the necesity of helping devotees in that area and you asnwered "cool". So I started several study groups. I think you forgot due to your several services etc.

HpS - ASA --- I remember in general and I think I indicated that it was O.K. to work as a member of ASA BUT if there were going to be specific details we had to work those out. We don't even have those for Nimsar to this point. The money we gave for legalizing Nimsar went to Baladeva's visit, no? We never got system worked out for even the Bh.Sastri diplomas with the National Council, but, to quote Bh. Vijna Swami of Russia, we are not fruitive workers. We want to teach even if there is not a formal system.

Some people got upset when you ask if I'm teaching despite NIMSAR suspension. I'm teaching as ASA teacher. Please, write about it, and confirm that if necesary, or tell me stop the programs. I'm just trying to cover a lackness in the area. I'm doing it for service. This makes me look that I'm cheating. Well. may be I'm. I think you know me well enough. If I don't do this I'll probably be watching movies and having chocote icecream all day long and eventually acompany that with some pot cause I'm a rascal.

I'm sorry for these stupid commentaries.

My paper work went wrong so I'll probably start my master degree in Agost if I still have the enthusiasm.

your stupid disciple.

(I don't know why I'm getting touchy lately).

HpS -  Again, we certainly agree that anyone can teach from Srila Prabhupada's books, especially if they are an ISKCON Brahmana.  So, I don't see that you are doing anything wrong in doing that, go ahead!   But, and also again, if we want to give formal diplomas: Guru-disciple, Bh. Sastri, Bh. Vaibhava, then we have to work those out with the Ministry of Education according to their rules. Nimsar was never approved for the Bh. Vaibhava diplomas, we all know that, and told everyone very clearly that I was stopping to be the Examiner for the Bh. Sastri diplomas.
What do you want to do?
What is your service to Krsna and Prabhupada even if everyone else falls away?
I want to join you in that!    I hope we are finding the answers to the above two questions for ourself and communicating it here in the Blog, Kapi-dhvaja, person contact, Twitter, etc.

If you want to give ASA approved courses, O.K.   Present them to us and we will work on it.  We are doing TLC now and maybe give and ASA certificate in the end. It would not be a Ministry certificate.  If you want to do the Bh. Vai./ Bh.Sastri then like Nimsar, it has to be approved.

Do you want to do that??    It would be very nice.  I am struggling to continue and advance those certificates and programs in both North American [and South America [and India [and everywhere]]].

What do you say?

Go ahead teaching the subject matter for sure if you can!  ASA approves that as we always have.

For Ministry approved certificates we will have to make some plan, work?   Maybe Bolivia could become an approved Bh. Vaibhava Center????
Eagerly awaiting your replies, even though you are "touched" (Means Crazy in American English).

Todas las glorias a sri sri gaura nitay

todas las glorias a srila prabhupada y a su sankirtana

Hare Krsna querido gurudeva, porfavor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Espero ésta carta le llegue, aquí reportándome; 4 principios regulativos, 16 rondas y 9 extras luchando para que sigamos nuestro voto de cantar más maha mantra, sadhana a las 5:00 am, adorando a las deidades JBS, silas ( tenemos una más es una krsna balaram), gaura nitay y krsna balaram, 3 gayatris, lectura del SB Canto 1 cap.15, todo gracias a seguir los estudios del bhakti vaivaba con p. Laksmana.

Aquí muchas cosas han cambiado; estámos viviendo en el centro cultural "Bhaktivedanta", los programas son miercóles y viernes y alquilamos  el primer piso para seguir con el restaurante llamado ahora Jaganata's hay de 20 a 30 personas en el almuerzo, distribuyendo también algunos extras, todo lo que se le cocina se le ofrece a las silas, la cocina es un pequeño puyari. El día es agotador pero tratamos de mantenernos en nuestro sadhana y rondas, aqui vivimos con p. Hari un devoto muy antiguo y su hijo p. Deva Deva Vyasa, agradecemos a krsna por permitirno asociarnos con devotos mayores que nos ayudan en nuestro avance espiritual.

Con los devotos de aquí Huancayo tratamos de mantener la casa alquilada que es el templo y el restaurante Jaganat's [Jagannatha's].

También sembramos choclo, habas, arverjas, calabazas en los terrenos,  hemos cosechado algunos productos y lo cocinamos en el restaurante para las deidades, tenemos un perro llamado kirtan es de raza peruano tiene ya un año

Gurudeva en cuanto al sankirtana de libros le diré que en mayo p. gadai y p. bhakta Percy van a organizar una marathon por Nrisinja y yo deseo apoyar con el prasadam de los devotos sankirtaneros en Huancayo, estámos muy felices porque en verdad no hay otra cosa que satisfaga más a Srila Prabhupada, yo siempre voy a estar muy felíz si mi esposo dedica su vida a la distribución de libros y al sankirtana de Prabhupada.

P. gadai le está escribiendo una carta invitándolo para que pueda venir a Huancayo en junio o julio, aquí hay vuelos en avión, ojalá se dé, lo extrañamos mucho y quisiéramos que venga a huancayo para que muchos jóvenes se entusiasmen más y la prédica se fortalezca en Huancayo

Hare krsna

su hija Nadiya Nivasi Dasi 

HpS - HAre Krsna. TlgaSP   Muchas, muchas, muchas gracias para su carta y noticias. Reverencias a todos los devotos. Aparece que Vds. son bien situado en Sri Dhama Mayapura con Senor Caitanya y Senor Nityananda. Solamente tiene que ver como los nuevos devotos convierten en Sankirtaneros como Vds.

Fotos, del edificio, cuartas, comunidad, Hari Das...

No se si podemos ir a Huancayo!  Ya tenemos Callao, Wilson, Chosica, Arrequipa, Santiago, Chocabamba. Pero podemos adjustar detalles en los siguiente dias.
Sankirtan...  Sankirtan... Sankirtan
Vamanos a los demas cartas juntos!!!!
Sankirtan.
Mas noticias. Ha ido a India, no??

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja, Pamho, AGTSP

I wrote you before, but I guess you were and are very busy.

HpS - ASA --- Was it over two weeks ago?  We have answered all the letters within two weeks, and this one said, not so Urgent so we would have got to it tomorrow. We are busy, but also lazy.

So, just to inform that I'm finishing my 10 days Cuzco educational tour.

Five students in Bhakta program, some Communications and Conflicts Resolution Seminar. Some Bhakti vaibhava and Bhakti sastri.

M. Goura gaddhadara is doing pujari and studying english. She is doing very well as always. Send regards.

I hope I can continue my service in this area with your blessings.

This is my ekadasi report. I'll do it regulary.

Thanks for your support.

Your servant,

LAD

HpS - We were wondering about you, very much. If we chant good rounds we get sufficient intelligence to do inspired service!
Please send us more news.

Chat during the FMP!

More news!   More news...  How will you accomplish the mission of Lord Caitanya?   You are still doing these Bh.Sastri, Bh.Vaibhava programs with Nimsar suspended? Details?

Querido Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP

Ya quedan pocos dias para su visita. Lo mas probable es que yo vaya a NVM el dia 5 por la mañana; así el dia 6 podremos ir a la Universidad desde allí. El Harinam, si Dios quiere, será el viernes por la tarde de 6,30 a 8,30. Posiblemente puedan venir algunos devotos de NVM.

La información detallada del Nama Hattha no se sabrá hasta que no sepamos el estado del tiempo. Si hace un dia muy bueno lo haremos al aire libre (posiblemente en el rio como la vez anterior) y si hace mal tiempo o frio lo haremos en mi casa. Esos detalles no cambian mucho. Lo importante es que los devotos sepan que se va  ha hacer un nama hatha y el dia y hora.

Espero que pronto podamos vernos y que su viaje sea mas agradable que la última vez que vino a España.

Su sirviente

Jayanta das

HpS - ASA - Jaya!  Sadu sanga, sadhu sanga, sarva sastra koi....  Solamente por momento de asociacion de devotos uno puede lograr el mas gran exito de la vida. 

HARE KRSNA GURUDEVA,

PAOHO,AGTSP!

WE ORDERED AN ADAPTER IN AMAZON, WE HOPE IT ARRIVES ON TIME (IT IS SUPPOSED

TO ARRIVE THE 30TH OF MARCH).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TEXTS, WE WILL CHECK THE BLOG TO KNOW

ABOUT THE FURTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR THE VISIT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO SPAIN

ASPIRING TO SERVE YOU

BHADRA VD AND SANANDA DD

HpS - Thank you.   They are also available easily in the Hardware stores in Madrid. Hare Krsna!

Hare Krsna, Dudes and Dudins!
We are here in Murphy's Boro with HpSwami et al.

. . . Like next week, we head for Atlanta and Spain.

We just got all the mail caught up!!   No letters older than 2-days waiting [!],  but,  now we will go traveling, so again we will only be answering URGENT letters during that time . . . regular stuff, like BOISE KIDS.

That's April 1-12th.  Look at the Calendar in the Kapi dhvaja.

How are you?  How is your health?  Where are you?

These are all pretty strange questions in some since, no, because we are not these bodies, anymore than we are the characters in the movie we are watching.

Of course, once we become devotees, we get more or less control over our puppets. We can use them to preach to each other and others.

THERE IS ONLY ONE PURPOSE IN LIFE: BE HAPPY!     [Prabhupada told this to Jayananda Das].

         Hari Bolo!!! 

But we cannot be happy without our friend:   K R S N A !      Forget the Yamaraja and Maha-visnu job, sometimes!
Go on Sankirtan with Lord Nityananda. Hide behind Him when Jagai and Madhai come down the street.

            Now we will chant HK and develop our Calendar.    Tonight we will drive our 'new', year 2000 Mercedes, to Amit's house, about 20-miles away and hope the wheels don't fall off. We will have an Evening Program and talk about how he can take charge of NIOS. He's a Doctor. His father, Madhava Das, was initiated by H. H. Gopal Krsna Goswami (as I remember), his good wife is PhD in chemisty.

                      Tomorrow is TLC.

We will write some more about the "Seattle Symposium" and wait in great expectation for the news from Sattva that BNP has signed the agreement to co-sponsor "Art and the Sacred" in 2018. The minute that happens we can contact the Ambasador, ICCR, Maha-prabhu in Uraguay.

Maybe we will be able to read Hari-nama Cintamani and the Introduction to Jung's Red Book, write a Bhagavata commentary with RRD and NGD for publication.

Maybe we can get into a good dialog with the Jesuits in Peru! Maybe...   {Piggy: Maybe you can get your rounds done today. (TB: Oh, yeah!  Gotta do that too!)}
