Letters to the editor

Dear Gurudeva

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Estamos viajando (AKSA) el lunes 13 a Lima, seguro podremos verlo cuando llegue. Ojala Abhirama nos pueda ubicar en algun servicio, tambien queremos hablar con Usted, pero no es urgente... Los devotos de Cusco nos han tratado muy bien, han habido problemas aqui (antes), y nos pone muy felices haber colaborado con Mathuresh Prabhu y los devotos locales para poder conciliar en un solo programa, y entrar a una etapa de reestructuracion del Yatra de Cusco.

ASA - Muy bien!

Seria increible si podriamos robarle algun dia una sonrisa a Usted y a Srila Prabhupada por nuestro humilde servicio. Estamos siguiendo las regulaciones y nuestro canto prescrito (4P y !6R) aun de una manera inmadura, pero no perdemos la fe de que su misericordia nos ayude a mejorar... Por mi parte casi no he podido dejar de extrañar Chosica Mandir, es extraño, porque no me consideraba tan apegado al lugar, es dificil explicarlo. Muchas gracias por todo, estamos un poco ansiosos por volverlo a servir en vapu.....

                                 Su sirvientes AKSA.....

ASA - Falta ~35-horas hasta llegamos a Peru.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We are traveling (AKSA) on 13 to Lima, sure we can see when you arrive. Ojala Abhirama can locate us any service, we also want to talk to you, but is not urgent ... Cusco devotees have treated us very well, there have been problems here (before), and makes us very happy to have collaborated with Prabhu Mathuresh and local devotees to reconcile in a single program, and enter a stage of restructuring the Yatra of Cusco. It would be amazing if we could steal some day a smile to you and Srila Prabhupada by our humble service. We are following the regulations and our prescribed edge (4P and! 6R) even an immature way, but do not lose faith that his mercy help us improve ... For my part almost I could not help but wonder Chosica Mandir, it is strange because I did not think so attached to the place, it is difficult to explain. Thank you very much for everything, we're a little anxious to return to serve in vapu .....

Your Holiness,

                         Please accept my prostrated obeisances. All glories to Your good self.

I fall at your lotus feet and beg to be forgiven for this very late reply. My anarthas make me quite helpless, but I am willing to persevere with my free will if you are willing to bless me in order to be able to do that.  I was a little feeling ashamed when you mentioned to me about my inadequacies rather adequately,  and also scared of having done something offensive and thus lost out on perseverance. I apologize also, for the previous questionnaire which was unnecessarily lengthy.  I will make a stronger effort to be more effective in being more to the point.

Maharaja, I have some questions which have been troubling my heart for quite some time which I will be extremely grateful if you could please try and answer.

 They are:

There seem to be some intermediate tattvas between jiva tattva and Vishnu tattva. Examples of such tattvas are:

1)Srimati Radharani whom  I humbly think could be addressed as Shakti tattva

2)Lord Siva who seems to be addressed as Siva Tattva

3)Parvati Devi who is again Shakti Tattva

It is reasonable to accept that God is all powerful, and all attractive. But this same all attractive, all benevolent and very personal God seems to have created intermediate tattvas which are not as noble as God, who can be approached but not achieved. So how can an all attractive, all benevolent God create one child who is eternally going to be more opulent than another?

HpS - ASA -- Very nice to hear from you. Mouth, Spoon, Soup. Now why on Earth would you, Mouth, want to become a Spoon?

Read the letter from Mantri Rama prabhu, and was thinking to ask you here on the Blog (if that is all right), what is the situation in Mayapur? I hear some snippets of description, not knowing if it is a balanced description. How the situation in Mayapur affects ISKCON worldwide (if at all)?

Thank you!
Your servant Namacarya Das

 HpS - AgtSP. I don't know too much. Probably no more than you. Maybe some materially attached Indian devotees want more local control and less international GBC control. Lot of money and power involved.

Is interesting we don't know. Seems unhealthy. Always problems in material world. If you can contact Prahlada Nrsimha, he might be able to give more news.

Can you collect the previous and future cookie recipes? Maybe they can be a part of an ASA cookbook: Bachelor Beans.

We are in Houston until tomorrow. Very short of breath from steroid medication. That is o.k. We can serve Krsna without air, no?

Hare Krsna

AgtSP

paoho. We made it to Houston. Hari Lila das is looking at this letter.

We answered so much mail. Prepared for the Third Canto, Bhakti vaibhava class tonight. We wish we could do more.

We can't do everything, so we have to set out priorities.

Hare Krishna GuruMaharaj! All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please accept my humble obeisances.

I continue in Madrid now is summer!! Very hot!!

I have different news.

I went to communication congress of ISKCON in Vila Vrindavan Italy. The experience was very good (4 days) and I learned a lot from the different devotees. Many people from all Europe and a few from North America.

 I was talking with two very seniors devotees about the situation in Mayapur (one of them couldn’t speak Spanish this is why I was in the conversation, I was helping to translate). One of these devotees is one of the main GBC in ISKCON, with the information that I know now of Mayapur I think that it’s not a good idea to try to go now, maybe it’s better in the future. I hope that they can solve the problems but under my very little understanding will be very very very difficult. I would like a lot to go in the future to pass the course of brahminical culture in Mayapur Academy.

In Madrid there is one of the two Master diploma of all Spain about “ciencias de la religiones” I started some days ago to compile all the documents that are necessary to enter in the master. The master is one year and after of that you can start to do a doctorate. My parents are very happy with the idea of return to the university. The temple will help me with the payment of the studies. If I pass the selection of the university I will start the master in October, I could continue without problem with the service in the temple because the classes would be in the afternoon.

Two days ago we started to worship Tulsi Devi again, we have been caring the seed from the begging and now it’s enough big to worship, all the devotees in the temple are very happy with Tulsi Devi.

There are daily classes in the temple, today I had the exam of Sri Upadesamrita (only nectar of devotion and I will finish bhakti sastri). I hope to start soon to learn word by word the Gurvastak. In a few weeks, we will close the ashram because we are going to do reforms, in the finals days of August we are going to open again, Ratha Yatra will be the first or second week of September.

My mother returns from India (She was there 3 months) a few days ago, she loves the experience. She was visiting different temples (also ISKCON temples), touristic spots and helping to some catholic nuns to take care of children from the street.

Thanks for your instructions and advices.

Your servant Mantri Rama Das.

HpS - Wow! You have a very interesting life! Any news of Jara Mara Hari Das? How is Dandava Das and others.

Can you teach in public schools with the Masters degree?

Tulasi! SB classes! Just go ahead.

We are all waiting for more news.
