Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna SS Hanumat Presaka Swami.

PAMHO. AGTSP.

I hope you are fine

1.-We inform authorities of National Council (Caitanya Candra d, Caturatma d, Karuna Krsna d, Jiva sakti d,) the upcoming visit of SS Bhakti Gauravani Goswami (26 Octubre – 2 Noviembre).

And We offered to support services to Maharaja,

2.-NIMSAR will start to develop 3 areas or departments: Public Relations, Communication, Academic.

3.-It is quite possible that next year : To give Bhakti Sastri in modules (LOB, ISO, NOI, BG, NOD).

This to give facilities to students.

I (Isvari) want to propose to reinstate the LOB for NIMSAR Bhakti Sastri. It is a poetic and profound book, it helps develop sensitivity.

What are  your opinion?
HpS - We can always teach it as an ASA course, but it is not part of the Bhakti Sastri curriculum for ISKCON so I don't think we should make it a requirement. O.K. 

4.-LAD travels to Tarapoto city to give the course IDC (ISKCON Disciples).

5.-Jiva Sakti d and Candramukhi dd will be Examinator and Manager for BS.

What documents are required?

HpS - I will write to a letter to Bhakti Rupa Das with copy to them and Rohini DD and you (NIMSAR).

6.-Who are Examinator and Administrator for BhaktiVaibhava course?

HpS - This is important point. You all should know that Peru never made an official application to be a Bhakti Vaibhava center. I think Laksmana's stomach rupture and recovery came right in the middle of that.
NIMSAR can present courses on the Bhakti-vaibhava material but this has no formal connection with the ISKCON diploma at this point. We talked again and again about doing this work, but until now nothing has happened.

Thank you verymuch for all the efforts you do to Srila Prabhupada.

Ss NIMSAR TEAM

HpS - Sorry is a little slow in answering this wonderful Report, but seems we are still alive and going ahead from our end.  Next Report we will take as Urgent.
 

From our side:

1) We will send letter to Bh. Rupa Das et al about our leaving Examiner Post for Peru.

2) What about the letter that I suggested to go to President of National Junta? Did you all look at it? Shall we send it? Edit it?

3) What about legalizing NIMSAR?    NIOS gave nice donation this one year ago, no?  We heard that the work was going on, but no result now.

4) Our respects to Bh. Gauravani Swami. He knows us very well. Please tell him:

Bitte akzeptieren Sie unsere bescheidenen Hinsicht. Wir hoffen, dass Ihr Besuch in Peru sehr erfolgreich ist und dass Sie die Arbeit dort ewig verbinden.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias.

HpS - ASA --- TlgaSP!!!   Pfanrh...  Gracias su asociacion.  De donde son los pasatiempos de Srimati Radharani?  Caitanya caritamrta?  Libro de Bhakti-purusottama Swami?

Nuestra respuesta es que los pasatiempos de Srimati Radharani son del Mundo Espiritual "Goloka Vrndavan", también cuando Krsna vino a la tierra y realizo sus pasatiempos, vino también Srimati Radharani, pero Srimati Radharani vino pidiendole a Sri Krsna que a la primera persona que viera seria ÉL, entonces Radharani no habria los ojos, fue entonces despues de un tiempo en que Krsna se presento ante Radharani y Ella inmediatamente abrio los ojos y asi a la primera persona que vio fue a Krsna, claro todo esto ocurrio por un encuentro entre los padres de Radharani y Krsna. 

Caitanya Caritamrta, Krsna en el humor y sentimientos de Srimati Radharani, pasatiempos en el humor de separación "Sankirtan".

Bhakti Purusottama Swami, discipulo de Jayapataka Swami, escribio el libro de los pasatiempos de Srimati Radharani.

Sobre Prabhu Ramachandra mi respuesta a sus preguntas Guru Maharaj:

HpS - Interestante. El es exitoso en su diagnotica? Tiene buen historia con su clientes? Unas de sus presentaciones lo cual me oiyo aparecen diferent de los que estuvo oyendo de autoridades tradicionales y experimento por mi propio experiencia. Me gustaria tener mas asociacion con el. Ya no tiene mucho contacto con los Temples en Lima, no? Anterioramente tuvimos mucho contacto muy agredable

El Prabhu Ramachandra estuvo varios años enseñando en el instituto Vedika de Prabhu Daru Krsna, ahora el prabhu Ramachandra esta haciendo unos cursos de medicina naturista, astrologia y yoga en Huamcayo, Chiclayo y Lima, acá en Huancayo ha tenido seminarios muy buenos a lo cual han concurrido muchas personas, nos parece muy bueno en su diagnostico,  en un momento podriamos organizar para que usted pueda venir acá a Huancayo y dar algunas conferencias en las universidades y televisoras, auditorio municipal, el templo, tenemos algunos contactos que nos pueden ayudar con respecto a las Universidades y televisoras locales y también podriamos realizarlo junto con prabhu Ramachandra, bueno ojalá se de a su debido momento.

<cite><small><big>HpS - En el infierno puede predica Krsna katha tambien!  Hoy dia nos distribuyo en NOI a un periodista.   Tambien hemos recibido carta de su estimada esposa de los actividades en Huancayo.</big></small></cite>

Si seguimos en Huancayo, las actividades marchan bien, sadhana sufriendo un poco para Mangal Artik, 5 am, tratando de mejorar en este asunto, 4 principios siguiendolos, aunque la mente perversa y lujuriosa nos molesta....16 rondas de japa, en las mañanas estamos con el negocio del snack  y en las tardes estamos saliendo a Sankirtan desde hace una semana y media de 4pm a 8pm, hacemos de 3 a 4 horas de Sankirtan de lunes a sabado, hemos distribuido alrededor de 180 libros pequeños, 1 Srimad - Bhagavatam y 1 Caitanya Caritamrta. 

<cite><small><big>HpS - Como entendemos Tulasa le gusta: 1. Asociacion con devotos, 2. Calor, 3. Luz, 4. Agua. Puede pasar unas dias sin agua y entonces mucho.</big></small></cite>

Felizmente Tulasi se ha adaptado al clima de Huancayo y ya le comenzaron a salir nuevas hojitas, tiene luz, calor solar en horarios adecuados, algunos devotos van a comprar algunas cosas al snack y ven a tulasi y la glorifican le dicen palabras agradables, también la adoramos en nuestro pequeño altar.

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido que Krsna y Balaram lo protejan, Hare Krsna!!!

Gadai Gauranga Das

Hare Krsna, GGD et al.
Gracias sus respuestas. Con quien esta asociando alla?  Hay unos devotos mayored in Huancayo?  Puede desarollari contacto con la Iglesia Catolica or otros? Puede pedir del Alcalde si puede ayudar e El, por ejemplo en terminos de luchando contra la adiccion a drogas, estabilidad de la familia.

Luz de la Bhagavata es super para predica, no? Puede imprimir unos Textos de ww.vedabase.com, Espanyol, y distribuir, organizar seminarios en temas especificas.   Vamos a Peru en Abril-Mayo!!

paoho

Starting to get a dangerous headache, but finished Claudio Naranja's articles, translation.  It took like maybe 75-corrections in two pages. The concepts and many things were really challenging. The original translation had many, many simple mistakes and then the sophisticated concepts to thinking, thinking, thinking.

Translate "bienser no es bienestar" into English.

O.K.   99.99% perfect day.

Rushing to NGD home.  Got the tickets for Texas.  We go to Texas the 7th to 12th of December, back to Nashville and then again on the 23rd to catch the flight to Mexico the next day.

Hare Krsna.

No time for more mail!

All Glories to Sri HpS Guruji Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisanses unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that in the last reply of my previous letter Guruji mentioned that the Air tickets of India for 2^nd and 7^th Jan. 2017 is not yet confirm. Now the tentative dates of Gurujis Indian visit is confirmed or not?

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!    You can see in the Kapi Dhvaja that we have now purchased tickets arriving in India late 31st December, Delhi, and then leaving India like 15th February, Dehli. Hari Das Das is writing with suggestions for the time in between and we are also waiting little for suggestions from others, then we will fix the schedule.  97% the first 10 days will be in Tirupati and Madras and the last week in Mayapura.  The rest we have to work out.

Please let us know the dates, so as to enable us to finalize the dates of North East India specially for Silchar, Guwahati, Agartala and Imphal. I had requested Haridas Prabhu also to accompany Guruji in the N.E. Progrmme. He also suggested me to request Gurujis valuable time at least for 15-20  days for North East.  

A group of 12 initiated and 2 uninitiated bhaktas did not turn up the Mandir for the last one and half years due to some differences of opinion for management of the Mandir. Last year in presence of Guruji we discussed everything along with Bonomali Prabhu and some other bhaktas of Imphal ISKCON to follow the systems of ISKCON traditions. They accepted everything to implement on that day but even now they are not ready to implement any positive step except the name. They could not follow even the first four rules of ISKCON.

Under such circumstances, Guruji suggested me sometimes ago to go to the Mandir and try to convince them slowly. There are some innocent members who come to the Mandir simply for bhajans and prasadam of old types but not ready about the initial four principles. Then two initiated members supported the innocent other members because they make majority, they don’t care about the rules – their simple thinking is that “ they will run the Mandir in their own way and  need not to take others help for changing or merging into ISKCON tradition”

On the other hand, the main aim of going to mandirs is to increase shradha, bhakti marga (Prema Rasa) of Radha Govinda in the way of Gouranga Mahaprabhu. But in our Mandir, they look us in different way and no good atmosphere for us. As we did not go to the Mandir, our chances of meeting new bhaktas and increase new knowledge were completely stopped.

Guruji, please advise us what to do and what will be our responsibility? Guruji’s advice will be our next step before Guruji is coming. We are ready to follow Guruji’s amtavani in any condition as asirvat.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - It is almost impossible for us to participate in management form 12,000 miles away, but general principle is to follow ISKCON GBC authority in management, Imphal, management, and if there are problems then you  can ask to write to the GBC, then another GBC...  but in all these circumstances we can have so, so, so many nice programs just in our homes with other devotees. Then if there are too many for our home, then we can find some cultural place to do our own program and then ....      a full time installed temple deity...
Age of Kali - Sit together and chant Hare Krsna!!!   Krsna will come and chant and dance and laugh with you with all His friends and associates.

We hope you are reading some of the other letters that we post here to other devotees!
Send some photos!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabupada y a Usted querido Maharaja!

Espero Que se encuentre bien de salud!

HpS - This body does not get diseases, this body is a disease.

ASA - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!!!!!!!    Escribir todos los detalles de un dia y enviar aqui.

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp
we wrote for you on friday but internet did not post it.
we go again

1. you ask do we have friends? friends and acquitances are two diff words for us. we have acquintances in our phd deptt. we preach to them about importance of theological perspective on the basis of Harvey Cox heirarchy.
and manier times when they ask to many questions about anything i say the first question is what is the purpose of this creation ? one fellow asked me meaning of parikshith, we told him summary from sb 1.7 to 1.16. in this way we keep on dropping ideas, but we have not dropped any book (big problem).

ASA - Super!   What ever preaching we do gives us ETERNAL opportunity to do more preaching.

2. our son is very fine. he keeps chanting namaste narsinghaya, he knows it completely. he chants while cycling, defecating etc.  He once heard carana-arvindam from mp3 player. now we wants to hear live telecast of same in any temple. he likes the idea that narsingh dev gives power to him. once he took umbrella and said now i am vaman. once it was raining heavily, he said looks like indra has come.
he enjoys offering,  becaused krsna will make it better and give it back to HIM. all in all v dont deserve this child to elevated for us.
and we dont want him to goto school beyond 5th grade. 
HpS - Very nice.  We think he must be source of greatr satisfaction to your grandparents.
3. our wife is accumulating sukriti, i think she has external locus of control. we went triupati, she stimulated us to go to temple tour of all temples.  she is teaching child from books from temple. right seh and child remembered bg 16.1 for kinder garten school competition. she has been doing real auterities no doubt about it.
HpS - ASA   --- She should be called to Russian to be given a Hero of Matrimony Badge, Double Star.
4. Horse is still uttering mantara. his mind is not completely convinced that this is transcdenctal vibration. thoug he can feel psycho somatic effect in one round.
horse made intresting discovery.   regulation > sponatenity in this world as time is dominant here. sponatenity > regulation in vaikuntha  rasa is dominant there.
for regualtion one should refer bg 6.16-17  noi -2.  the regulation starts with eating (what a simple way)  eat veg food, eat offered food.
then regulation comes to sleeping, then mating, then defending ( can TB explain this). then regulation comes to any other work....
horse is trying to regulate his sleep now.. and hope other things will follow in line.

HpS - Yes, and just chant as much as we can. All the time. Become madmen very quickly.
 

5. maharaj you have been associated many professor minded people. may be i am also one of them. you once said in hawaii class, they have kinky sex which common people cant even dream  of. (i accept this fault in me, that why hesitate to take first intiation)
can you also elaborate more problems of professor type people ?

passionate horse.
our yoni in horscope is vanar not horse..

HPS - Don't know too much more about professor types.  In America they are mostly just becoming big technicians. even, lamenatably, big gundas. If they can politically destroy their rivals ideas they become famous as scholars. Not, all, but we see many like that.
Just chanting as much as possible is the only solution we see for advancing our Sankirtan, reducing our sense gratification, maintaining our health, maintaining our Church...
....  you really seem to be advancing.    Everyone is different.  All these years of effort are years of effort.  They count.
