Letters to the editor

Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada y todas las glorias a usted!!!

Gracias por responder mi carta. 

Querido maharaja sepa disculparme pero no eh podido comprender perfectamente su carta anterior.

HPS - ASA --- TlgaSP.   pfanrh.  No es sorpresa, somos tontos.

Si comprendo que para casarse usted esta diciendo que tenga segunda iniciacion. Pero las dudas que me quedaron son: si esta de acuerdo con mi asocion?

HpS - Esa es una frase, idea, subtil. No hablamos espanyo subtil!  Desculpa....

...y que piensa de realizar la maraton en mexico ?

ASA - ""And I have to realize the Maraton en Mexico."" Aaaagh!   We don't understand what this has to do with your marriage???

Tambien de mi formacion en mexico bajo el cuidado de Aravinda prabhu,Durante unos meses . 

Muchas gracias 

Su eterna sierva María Bernarda.

HpS -  Tenemos cerebrio de un Burro Norte Americano de 68, casi 70 anyos.  Ooof.  Hemos perdido dos dientes, convertiendo ciego, mudo, cojo (cripple), Y, claro, la memoria corta desapareciendo.
[Demasiado
boraccho, todo, universidad Hippy en la joventud.]
Entonces,

no podemos recordar nuestra carta anterior, y no tenemos esfuerza buscar y relacionar bien con esta carta, y es deficil en esta media de Blog 'discuss' these things...

pero... tenemos bastante experiencia valioso, mejor inteligencia (buddhi) que nunca, entonces somos valioso para Vds, no?   Como utilizar esta burro viejo-mitad sabio??

CONSEJOS
Matrimonio Vaisnavio - La idea es pasar la purificacion de ser monja (Ave Maria) hasta segunda iniciacion, entonces puede descriminar su varna y ashrama mas claro (soy ksatrini, tengo ser casado con Super-Hombre).

Casi (99.3%) guarantizado fracaso es casarse con hombre mas joven que Vd.

Mas detalles general, pero esos son dos importantes.

Tercero y fin de esta cartita ....  no es matrimonio entre dos personas, es matrimonio entre dos familias.
Tiene que ser una buena honda entre la familia material y espiritual de los de el y las de suya (me gusta su mama y hermana, su guru de sankirtana le gusta mi guru de sankirtan).

O.K?

Puede imprimir esta carta y distribuir a todo la yatra para todo su vida no?
 

Una dia va a ser una devota de 67-anyos.
Una abuelita.

.16-buenas rondas y 4-principios estricas y puede adjustar todo.
Mas noticias de Capina Grande y su Sendero Luminoso...  Dos fotos de St. Bernard abajo!

OINK!!  (Only Idiots Neglect Krsna)

We are dog, hog, tired.   9.09PM.  Hawaii Class, Edited Miguel's 'Solaris' paper in English, 16-rounds done by 10AM.  Quick phone call to Srivasa Pandita Das, and then a ton of Texts etc for this Chicago etc tour.

Also, tried to do a little three verse extract of the LoB for distribution. We aren't the body, VAD is necessary to cultivate KC, Vraja is the ultimate goal (and NOI is the next book to read).  All in the three texts.

O.K.
Better to stop now or die.

Eating once a day is an intense austerity for our body, but also very purifying.

We are reading http://www.jayarama.us/archives/vdm.doc   Hare Krsna. Nice lunch offering for Lord Nrsmhadeva.
Whoop!

Thank you.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Pamho. AgtSP.

 So the temple president of DC has a few points that are outlined for Sunday talks. She likes to gear the speakers toward more unfamiliar audiences (we have a pretty big yoga community here). I was going to email this to you because she and VrajVihari would like to be cc’d on it. But I explained and gave her a brief synopsis of Psyhology and the Sacred and she was thrilled to hear it.

The talk is limited to 30 min with an additional 15-20 min Q&A period.

She did say that the Saturday prior will be open if you would like to host a workshop or lecture of any sort? Please let me know if this is something you’d like to consider.

HpS - You me and NGD just talked about this. "From Cradle to Cambridge - Education in ISKCON. Hanumatpresaka Swami has a long history of working int the area education in ISKCON which include deep involvement with H. H. B. S. Damodara Swami and the Bhaktivedanta Institute, Ranga-niketana - Manipuri Troupe. He is on the Executive Committe of the ISKCON Ministry of Education, and with his own ISKCON institution, NIOS, he has just participated in a profound, intercontinental symposium on Psychology and the Sacred with the National Library of Peru.

He will also report on Sunday school commercialy successful ISKCON Pre and Primary Schools etc. Come for general overview and opportunity to get involved in very practical programs.

Currently we have UMD lined up for 11/11. I’m not familiar with the school but they have a strong bhakti club and I’ll reach out to profs who may try to stage something bigger.

HpS - Let him see our youtube.com clip of  "Psychology and the Sacred 2016", then we can talk with him personally and design a custom program.

Awaiting to get contact of hindu chaplain from Georgetown. He himself has a doctorate in theology so may be a good source of reaching out to dept.

HpS - Again, follow up NGD suggestion of contacting his friend, Dr. Shaligram Shukla in Sanskrit.

Will keep you updated!

*just to clarify—when I send a group text, you can see them right? Cause subala prabhu hasn’t responded either.*

HpS - When you send a group Text we only see your name and when we respond it only shows you as a recipient.  Hmmm.    Robots for Rama.
Thank you so much for your effort.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

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

I pray that your health gets better. Your last DTC made me sad but puts into perspective the vehicle that this body is. 

I did get the email about themes and content. Ananda Vrindavan mataji said she’d schedule you for the Sunday talk at Potomac, so I guess Vraj Vihari prabhu would best answer in regards to the themes.

Chandana and I are working to put an event at Virginia commonwealth university. we sent you an email to your nios account regarding that. 

In other news, I also asked Manoram Krishna das to perform the diksha yagya and he said yes and also told me of what I should bring and do to prepare. I was wondering if there is anything you expect that I should do in preparation as well? Please let me know and I will do my best to make it happen!

HpS - Nothing special.

I am still pondering what I should do for my kartik vrat. What would you recommend?

HpS - Damodara asta. Reading Vrndavana Dhama Mahimarta by Kusa Krata Das.

I'm jumping with excitement until your arrival. Thank you for your sincerity and mercy Maharaj. 

Your blundering servant ,

Sarita 

*the picture attached was Chant 4Change last week, an inter-faith festival where hundreds of people danced and sang the Hare Krishna mantra. It was a cool event. It rained all day, and when Radhanath Swami came up, the rain stopped and the sky had pink hues. 

HpS - Jaya!      There is another letter and we have talked a lot since this one. We will go to the other one.

Dear Guru Maharaja, PAMHO AGTSP

There was a comment after your Janmastami lecture (Hawaii). I did not understand it. It was something about a painting in the dungeon with Visnu, Devaki and Vasudeva made wrong. Please can you tell what was comment about?

HpS - AGTSP!   Paoho.... It was by Vidugdha Das. He was pointing out that most of the pictures of the birth of Krsna show an adult Visnu with four arms, but the text says that the four armed form was a baby. Even the BBT art seems to have the adult.

Also, you commented about some kind of wrongness about morning kirtan in SP samadhi in Vrindavan. But the sound was not clear, so I could not follow what you were saying (neither devotees present could). Can you maybe explain here about that?

HpS - Myself and former President, Scottish devotee, cant remember his name now, both object to the Mangala arati song in the Temple in Vrndavana, not the Samadhi. It was added of course after Prabhupada left. It is an Aruna day kirtan. It says right in the song, "The rays of the morning sun are coming", no?

Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya das

Thank you!!!  >>>>

Dear Guru Maharaja, PAMHO AGTSP
In Hawaii class SB 3.15.32  September 22, 2016, there was a question to you  for sastra reference about Jagāi and Mādhāi  being  Jaya and Vijaya. I am posting it here, if it is still needed.
Your servant Namacarya das

HpS - Thank you!!!   I will forward it to Ramananda Das!  He can send it to Narahari Das.

ps: In the class there was a mention of the cartoonist wearing shirts and t-shirt :-)
