Letters to the editor

Aare Krsna, Mates

AGTSP paoho.   5.45PM here in Nila-madhava Dhama. Not too hot, there are some clouds, so we can sit with the windows open.

Our room is on the second floor.

Hari-lila Das is with Rama-giri-dhari Das, but should be coming in any minute.

We have 15-rounds left from today, but have chanted 16 from yesterday. We fell behind somewhere here. We do that and then catch up. We have to get better at Sadhana bhakti.

Brother Ass feels a little sick, probably liver stress, but we can walk and chant.

We finally got to the Blog and answered a lot of letters. You saw them!!!???

That's what happens when we don't have classes to prepare for or 7-hours of Symposium time. We can spend time here with you all - Monky Warriors.

Gotta set priorities, understand our limits. That is Vaidhi Bhakti, no?

Everyday here, the Temple program from 4.15-9.15 AM is wonderful. So easy to have a personal relationship with Radha and Nila-madhava. So many devotees here for the programs regularly.

Kirtaniya-sada-hari.... That is the eternal, constant, basic program and then Krsna will give us Association. That will give us Plans.

O.K. Answer Jaya-pataka Swami's letter and post a copy here.

Guru Maharaj.  Hare krsna. Dandavat pranam unto your lotus feet. Pamhao. All glories to Guru, srila prabhupada,and nitaigour. Although myself not qualified, by your great mercy only, you have accepted me as your disciple. You are just like in the spiritual sky and I am in family hole. Moreover l am so fallen, l don't know how to serve you guru Maharaj. But your grace and blessings, my spiritual advancement is not possible. So daily I just look and cry unto the lotus feet of your alokhya guru Maharaj. No of times l am fail to connect you. Hope this prayer will find you in good health and fully dissolved in devotional service. Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this with writing the place, where you are guru Maharaj and if possible some time awake me through SMS in my mobile no 919435072632. Or[email protected]. that will inspire me very much. Forgive me. Again Dandavat pranam unto your lotus feet Guru Maharaja.  Your most fallen servant. Krishna swarup Das. Silchar. Assam.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Thank you Yamunesvara Das.   If you read our DTCs. Diary of a Traveling Creature, you can see you busy we have been with the programs in South American and then here in Houston.

Just yesterday we finished the ISKCON North America Symposium and today Monday, we have a little time. Actually, our body is feeling very weak at this moment, but we trust that driving it from the spiritual level will help it to get the energy it needs to go on for  a few more years. Then we get new car, body, no?

Please, please, please, write to Krsna svarupa Das and thank him for his letter, and ask him if he has any study partner for BG etc. as we suggested?

See if you can get him on this Blog. It makes us very sad that we cannot connect with him here.

Also, we see like two more letters from your esteemed self here in the Blog, but we cannot get to them today.

Tomorrow we hope.

I think you are a very great hero in Krsna's eyes.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

PAMHO. AGTSP!

The situation at the moment with regards to my harinam initiation scheduled for 20 July is as follows:

1. Mukunda Goswami has been kind enough to chant on my beads.

2. Govinda Caran Prabhu has agreed to conduct the initiation, but is not available on the 20 July (Australian time).

He is however able to do it on 19 July.

Would this be acceptable Maharaj?

3. I am finishing my final ISKCON test I believe this Friday 15 July.

4. I am still awaiting my letter of recommendation which I am expecting soon and will forward to you upon receipt.

Your servant,

Jay.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Of course, this is an old letter. In the Vedic culture we get initiated from a pure devotee Grhasta in our village. That makes life easier.

But this is the modern world, so we all live 97.35% in cyberspace, no?

You can call us on the phone now, 209 505-3219, for critical administrative matters. Our respects to Mukunda Goswami.

You will have a lot of people chanting on your beads!!

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaj.

Pamho agtSP

. . . .

Thank you.

Hare Krsna

your servant

HpS - ASA --- Thank you so much for you letter.    They mean a lot to us. We sent a copy of it with our thoughts to your address with a copy to Tulasi carana sevita Das.

Hare Krishna Maharaj

PAMHO. AGTSP!

My return mailing address for my initiation beads is:

Janardan Andrews

...Australia

Thank you again kindly.

Your servant,

Jay.

HpS - Eiii, Mate, one or two fotos of your ugly mug, face. Maybe with any other rascals from your Temple?

Hare Krishan Maharaj

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I understand Maharaj. I have therefore duly sent the beads to the given address (20/07/16), which should be received by your kind self in approximately two weeks time.

I was going to include money for resending them back to me but thought it more prudent to send it via PayPal as to avoid the exorbitant fees, and also ensure that you at least receive that, in case the parcel does not arrive.

Please advise me of your PayPal account details, so I may do that immediately.

YS,

Jay.

HpS - ASA --- Thank yo uso much. AGTSP. Maybe we can meet in India this February? Let's just wait for the money transfer.
