Letters to the editor

My dear Maharaj, 

Dandavat pranam Maharaj. 

Please accept my/ our most humble obeisances. All glories to SPP, SG, SSG & LSK. 

Hare Krsna Maharaj, first of all forgive me the delay on my part to keep you in touch always. However, I am always alert/active to receive your message through your very dear disciple Mukta or Jamuneswar for which I keep myself a bit free from frequent communication with you. Forgive me Maharaj, please never mind of it. It is not like that I forget you. No Maharaj, no, never. I would ever remain grateful to your lotus feet for the mercy extended to me. Before hand, I have written three/four times but your above email address could not receive but it has shown failure of delivery system every time, then I keep contact with Jamuneswar Das regarding where about & what about Maharaj.

Now, I would like to pray your lotus feet that if possible, Maharaj may kindly let us pay darshan of your lotus feet under the following schedule :

1. After 7th to 10th Jan'17 programme at Madras, Maharaj may either proceed to Sridham Mayapur for some days rest there or come straight forward to Agartala or Imphal. In this regard, Agartala is preferable because we can proceed with our programmes systematically & smoothly......

4 or 5 days in Agartala / Tripura.

2. Silchar, Cachar. .......4 or 5 days.

3. Guwahati, Assam / Shillong, Meghalaya. ....... 3 to 4 days.

4. Manipur .........5 days or 1 week time.

Then we may/will proceed to Sridham Mayapur to attend the SANGA of Guru,  GBC, Sannyasa etc.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, kindly look into the above tentative programme and please confirm your scheduled programme so that necessary Air Tickets are arranged before hand as per the schedule of your journey in N/E regions with me.

For your kind information Maharaj, I am now in Lagos for one month mission to West Africa and my mission will complete by 9th Oct'16, then by 11th Oct'16, I would arrive Delhi / Radhakunda to attend the programme of Samadhi temple inauguration as well as the Tirobhav Tithi of Guru Maharaj. 

Thanking you and assuring you of my best cooperation always. 

Your servant, 

Hari dasa,

Date : Lagos, West Africa the 17th Sep'16. 

Hare Krsna!

We are trying to get our Chanting, Dancing, and Feasting organized to a practical level and then the Study of Prabhupada's books. The CDF seems pretty good today and then we got to Evaluating two of the Pada-padma Tests that we gave after out Seminar in January and February. Here is the letter we sent to Srinivasa Das with his Test Evaluation.
In general, our participation in the BhVai Diploma development seems quite progressive. We feel we can get things organized to have powerful impact with the academic aspect of the study of Srila Prabhupada's books

=======================================

AGTSP
Esteemed Srinivasa-acharya Das, paoho

Well, just seven months after you took the test, here are the results. We were doing well keeping to the schedule in giving the classes and the examination, but we couldn't finish evaluating them before we left for India etc, and then we were on the road continuously after that. Now, we thought that with these three months based in Tennessee we could catch up, and it seems to be true.

We hope to talk with you about the broad Sankirtan strategy and specific application to you, your family, Yatra etc.

Please call and contact us with your inspirations etc as you like, especially in the Blog.

Attached is your Evaluated Test. Please send and questions or comments.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj.

Dandavat Pranam unto your lotus feet.

HpS - All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.   It is so, so nice to hear from you. I think we have lettuce feet but just like you, working toward lotus feet.

PAMHAO. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu.

As I am not very skilled in e- communication, i feel much difficulty in having correspondence with you.

HpS - Yes, it is more natural to live in the village and all see each other personally, but this media is working pretty well.

Daily, by your mercy, I am able to chant 32 rounds and read Vedanta book for 1 hour with regular mangal arati and sandhya arati. After professional duty, I get very less time so i keep only one or two house preaching programs.

Guru Maharaj, although you are too far way, I have full faith that you must have received my daily bhakti and worship unto your lotus feet as my relationship with you is transcendental.

HpS - I am like the village post-man for Srila Prabhupada, and yes Krsna keeps confidential connection through the heart for regular devotees, formally like second initiated devotees.

Guru Maharaj, urgently please grace me by informing the following:

1. Date of vyasa puja(your day of appearance for 2016-2017)

HpS - It is always the day before Jiva Goswami's disappearance day. Possibly he calculated that with our advent things were hopeless and went to do some work where it was more practical.  This year it is 30th December here.

2.Your mobile number where I can send sms.

HpS - +1 209 505 3219 and yours (we will not publish it)

3.Please teach me the way how I can send money sometimes for the Lord's service.

HpS - I guess best is to deal with that when we visit India.

Guru Maharaj forgive me. There may be fault in me as I am the most fallen with no spiritual knowledge. Again dandavat pranam unto your lotus feet. Your most fallen servant

Krsna Swarup Das

Silchar

HpS - Thank you so much for your effort. It is having lasting result for you and eveyone.

What is your work now?    Do you have a Study Partner?   That is so important, to be able to read and discuss with another devotee. It can be by telephone or even exchanging some letters etc.

With what other devotees are you in contact?

Are you able to read the Kapi Dhvaja each fortnight. We struggle to get it out. Of course, it is available at "News" at our web-page, www.jayarama.us, and information about how to receive it regularly through e-mail is at the same web-page under "Hello".

We will be in India from 1 January to 15 February. The first week or two will be in Tirupati and Chennai for university symposium and then the last week in Mayapur. We are trying to take everyone's requests and visit Mumbai, Kolkatta, Vraja, North East during the interveening days. What do you suggest?

Can you become President of the United States?  I think you would do a better job than the two candidates that are now running.a

Jaya Sri Krsna!!!!

Esteemed Professor et al,

We hope this meets  you in the best of spirits and enthusiastic energy to turn loose the cultural heritage of Bharata upon the distraught world. After considerable fight with our computer we sent what looked like the final version of the files that were edited onto Raktaka Das' computer in Braja to Sri Hari Das.

A copy of the letter to your good self.

We are in anxiety about sending NIOS's Annual Income Tax Report, receiving reports from Rama-giri-dhari Das and the Goloka Foundation etc. 

When we look at the reporting dates and other indicators we feel that the actual pace that things are happening is correct. Maybe we are artificially trying to do too much, to fast.

Our eyes are old.

We need so much reading in our own discipline and passion daily.

We are struggling with hay fever and the weather, but we really feel that we are doing about 80% of our level best and improving.

We will aim at calling on Sunday again.

We need to discuss the letter about Dr. Sibesh at that time.

HpSwami

NIOS

Hare Krsna,

We are still alive.  Guess just like you.    We gave our class for Hawaii today. It was intense. Requires a fair amount of work. Is a very superior audience, so we have to work to make a good presentation.

Just got the ticket for Mexico, in response to Asta sakhi DD's investigations.  That is good, time to plan.

Everything is impossible withour order created by God.
There is no regular Temple program here, so it is a little difficult for everyone here, but our Sankirtan, partner is here and a physical base. We really see that we are making a LOT of progress discovering how much and what kind of work we can get done.

The number one things is finding people who you can teach about KRSNA and who can be Sankirtan partners to involve others.  Teach teachers.

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva

First of all I hope you are well, like your health and your activities. And apologize for not writing some months ago.
I tell you that this year was very run ... I'm in the final stages of the university, and working almost all year ... so I went to go little to the temple... but I'm singing my 16 rounds, following my 4 regulative principles, and making my deities worship at home.

I'm reading the bhagavatam for now, since I've started from the first volume .. now I had desire to take the course with the mother Candramukhi  Bhakti Sastri but I could not regulate the time of my current activities... But then I'm quiet for now, since vendras new times do everything to cultivate more my spiritual life ... for now I am happy that I can have the association of my devoted friends on weekends when I have free, and converse with spiritual brothers through telephone and internet sometimes. 

I was thinking ... maybe ... after completing all of the university...  work a little my spiritual life, take courses, to train more my sadhana, perhaps some temple too ... we'll see that Krsna wants for me ... Gurudeva I will not cheat ... my spiritual life is not perfect ... but do everything possible to stand firm in Krsna consciousness, become a better person, to speak of Krsna always …And I'm constantly reading your blog and your twitter… And excuse me for not always write, sometimes I not have very interesting things to tell ...

Thank you for your time and happy to communicate with you, and please sorry for my bad english!!! ... 

your servant Eternal

HpS - AGTSP   Thank you for the news.   Seems you are doing pretty well. In the beginning we have to have a balance of our "spiritual" life and our "material" life.   Maybe spiritual in the morning, making money during the day, and enjoying in the evening, but late we can see how it must all be for the same purpose. Arjuna had to learn material activites, how to use weapons, but of course it was not material, it was spiritual. So, with a good morning program you can gradually see how to make all your activities use full to the King and the Queen.
