Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabupad!

His Sweetness, Krishna has been teaching me some lessons which I fail to see again and again. I already told you about the GRE. And then I mentioned the house to buy for my parents. We were 3 days from settling and during the final walk through noticed a 2x2 foot hole punched in the wall that was gateway to some bigger, water-related issues. Considering that a dodged bullet, I decided to void the contract but legally, I’m tied to it unless I give up my $4000 deposit. I know money isn’t everything but this feels like a gut punch. What lesson can I see this? I’m thinking its sastric dharma about girls buying property for their parents … my father was against this from the beginning and doesn’t find it acceptable to take anything from daughters. I don’t know – I wanted to help but this has been spiraling into a massive mess. Praying to Krishna it doesn’t go to court.

I hope you are resting and recuperating but still energized. I read you had the association of  HG KalaKantha Prabhu. He was the speaker at the TSI event in Chicago. Very inspiring for much of the youth. Amazing devotee. I took a pic of him there and Kishore Kishori. So much lovability. Also, wondering if you had a chance to speak with Vraja Bihari Prabhu? (Krishna arranged for him to be literally walking outside my office in DC the day you mentioned his name).

 I look forward to serving you Maharaj and pray that time come soon.

balam balavatam caham

Your aspiring servant,

Sarita

HpS - ASA --- Maybe Krsna is preparing you to be Draupadi in your next life. You can see that we have the tickets for D.C. Those dates are O.K?      What can we do while we are there?    We will see if there are any professors to meet.   When shall we have initiations???

Very nice photos.  Right afte Kala-kanta was here, a neighbor came by with his real estate lady and were talking about buying our mobile home property. We asked her to look for a place near the campus!

Hare
Krsna!

paoho...  5.51PM here.  Our pre-mangala arati, CC reading took us to Antya 17.54, and that took us to Krsna, Dharma's Mahabharata at Vedabase.com where we are looking for the story of Pingala the prostitute, or cortesan, as some might say.

Then we got a call from Rama-giridhari Das right after FMP, 5.45AM, so we talked for about 1/2-hour, but we are all so busy with Janmastami celebration that we couldn't deal with all the details. Monday we will talk again. Was there a Latin American Educator's meeting last Friday? Did we miss it?  When is the next one?

Then we got sucked into gardening and trimmed two hedges. One is where the poison ivy is. It looks like 91% of it has gone to Goloka from the Poison we used, but it is still dangerous. We thinki we will buy two fruit trees on Janmastami. They are only $25 now.

Visala Das called six times and we called back. He wants to join the Start Meeting class tommorrow. We worked on the Powerpoint Show for that and the same one for tommorrow night.

Then we got final word from Subal Sakha in Richmond so we worked out the calendar and bought the tickets and posted the accounts!  That takes time.

Then we are here. Ready to go to NGD's home for BG class. It is hot, like 35*.

Tom Daigle called and we discussed changes in Prabhupada's books.

O.K. Let's look at the mail!
(Oh, one girl came selling ATT cable service and we told her we didn't use it but gave her a "book from  India".)

Hare Krsna!    AGTSP!    paoho...

We just bought all the tickets for this Chicago-Richmond-DC-Raleigh tour:

If anyone wants to scream for a super, SUPER, S U P E R, important change we have 24-hours. Otherwise, let's start figuring out who we can talk to about our Ministry of Education, Goloka Education, NIOS, Monkey and Piggy projects and make it a useful trip!

Jaya! Hare Krsna!   (Total = $417.06)

HpS - Hare Krsna, Thank you for the news. I hope you can see our news in the Kapi Dhvaja and the DTCs.

You can always develope your direct relationship with Srila Prabhupad through whatever transparent via media you can find. Then you can cultivate your circle of friends, Sankirtan partners and then work on developing the ISKCON institution. What you are all doing seems pretty good.  It is difficult, so any result is quite praiseworthy. Go ahead.

I think we will come to Arrequipa in April.

Are you ready for initiation?

We offer our respectul obeisances to His Divine Grace, Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Prabhupada, who is very dear to Krsna in this world and is pushing on the Sankirtan movement of Lord Chaitanya on the order of His spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada.

Dear Srila Prabhupada,
We struggle so much to act properly in all the details of devotional service but we feel that we make many little mistakes such as too much Prasadam late at night, too much mundane knowledge in the name of Sankirtan etc.

We feel like English sailors pushing through the waves of the fog who can regularly see the coast of England but who are still substantially in the dark.  You, and your world are that homeland.

When the waves of fog are light and we have even a little inclination to serve we push our lethargic brain and body to work, feeling that not only will we get some work done today, but we will get eternal strength to do more service in the future.

Everything is as your books say.

We hope to be stronger in your service this next year, and see the results you want to see in Lord Caitanya's Sankirtana.

There is so much more we can say, but with your permission we will stop here and hope that we become one good note in the chorus on this wonderful day of Vyasa-puja.

Your bumbling son,
Hanumatpresaka Swami

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

HpS - AGTSP!   Paoho....   I can't find our 2016 offering. Some things got misplaced when we left the other computer in Peru and then moved to this one. So, we will write a new one right now and post it. I hope it is useful.
