Letters to the editor

06/03/16  Esteemed Guru Maharaja:   Hare Krsna!!  Dandavats and Pranams     All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!!!

For some reason, microsoft kept on blocking access to my account, so there was delay in accomplishing the edit for you.  Computer was at Geek Squad off and on.  Finally got the problem "permenantly" solved and then finished the project quickly.  Did the hard copies arrive on Tues?  I sent them next day mail, so they should have.  Did the attachment of soft copy open correctly?   If I did not correctly perform the assigned task, please let me know so i can further edit it quickly before you leave on next preaching mission.  Thank you so much for allowing me this seva.

Thank you most sincerely for the quality time we were invited to spend with you in Boise!!!! Becoming acquainted with God Brothers and Sister there was really a blessing!!!  Adjusting to non-temple life upon returning was really difficult.  Of course, taking Radha-Gopinatha's darshan upon return did soften the blow!!

etc:  You may remember Jaya Krsna Das.  He and family attended our home program here last year.  He asked you a question.  You said that, by his question, you could see he is in mode of goodness.  Anyway, I mention him because he has asked me to ask you a very specific question.  He is one of the most strict (attention to detail is remarkable) and serious devotees  I know.  It would not have occured to me to ask you the following question.  Knowing him makes me realize how little advancement I have made.

Question:  There is a website developed by a disciple of yours, Prahlad Nrsimha Das.  It is vedabase.com, an offering of Bhagavad Gita As it Is  in Tamil language.  Jaya Krsna Das has been asked to help with the editing or proof-reading of this e-publication.  Prabhu has assured him this project has been ok'd by GBC.  However, it is important to Jaya Krsna Das that you also have sanctioned or "authorized" your disciple to carry on this service.  If you are not agreeing with this service, then Jaya Krsna Das will respectfully decline to participate in the proof reading.  If you have "authorized" your disciple to do this service, he will be glad to help and is waiting for your reply to make his decision.  Authorized by you?

Lastly, thank you very much for teaching me the correct way to lead Maha Mantra kirtan at Boise Temple.  At Sac ISKON, the group just will not respond unless the kirtan leader leads the response.  I don't know if its the size of the room and the devotees are spread out, or the acoustics are poor so they can't hear each others voices, or what.  But, I have just become used to leading the response after doing so for the last two years and now do it without thinking.  When you gave me  instruction during the kirtan, I  lost my train of thought.  Because of my head surgery, this can happen and it is really difficult for me to find the connection in my "data base" again.  When I'm fully engaged and there is an interruption, it's like my brain crashes and I can't find the neuro-connections again for awhile.  It's like i temporarily seriously forget what I previously knew how to do. (Don't get a brain tumor is my advice (;>))

You are always welcome to correct me. I wonder you don't do so more frequently since I'm such a fool.  It may have seemed as if I was offended. I was not.  The truth is that when I suddenly loose the neuro connection mid-task, it is quite un-nerving, quite disconserting, almost like I don't know where I am.  It's a little scary.  Even though I understand the phenomonon, it is an emotional experience for me.  Hope this is clarifying.  You would have no way of knowing this about me.  It is fairly common for people with post-traumatic brain syndrom.

Remaining your devoted and unworthy servant,

Kalindi devi Dasi

HpS - ASA -- Harer Krsna!   AGTSP   paoho.    Yes!    The hard copy arrived.   The soft copy opened and I was able to glance at the contents. They seemed fine. Thank you!      We talked with Dr. Samaresh and Rama-giri-dhari Das in India this morning and now we are editing the Promotional Flyer that will be the first use of the Prospect List. We will use it again and again and maybe update it and put it into a Database.
Thank you very much for the information about the brain reaction. Is very interesting. As a devotee it gives you such a chance to see how the donkey works and realize that you are not this Donkey.

Yes, Prahlada-nrsmha Das', Vedabase.com project is approved by the European BBT, Vanipedia and the BBT Archives. It is officially a branch of the ISKCON Anjana Suta Academy whose GBC Secretary is Tamohara Das, and we, as far as our authority goes have the very best wishes for him in the project. He is a very, very nice person, with a very, very, very, very nice wife and we discuss with him his ideas for the project. I don't really see any better Sankirtan in ISKCON than this project. Of course, there are other projects just good.

Send us more news as it occurs!
Come with us to the next letter!

Todas las glorias a sri sri Gaura Nitay 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y todas las glorias a usted!

Querido Maharaja espero este teniendo un buen día y que se encuentre bien de salud.

Gracias por contestar mis cartas.

No hay prisa, pero como usted dijo es mejor ser entusiasta y estoy muy entusiasmada por ser su dusipula seguir sus instrucciones y poder servirle.

Le comento que tuvimos una semana de sankirtan en João Pessoa (Brasil), fue muy intensa pero estoy muy feliz. Ahora volmimos a Campina Grande y este viernes volvemos para completar otra semana

Querido GM me postro a sus  pies de loto implorando una particula de su misericordia 

la vida , mi karma las malas deciciones me han llevado a una situacion en la que lo  estoy perdiendo casi todo , mi compañera por mas 15 años ahora no quiere saber nada de mi ,desprecia la vida de engaños y la falta de determinacion que por años le di , perdi mi proyecto de un camion de comida en el que trataba de distribuir prasadam, perdi amistades , familia , me he dado cuenta que no se puede confiar en un mundo de inperfecciones lleno de personas imperfectas , pero en esta locura de la soledad y el vacio existencial , solo apenas persivo la certeza de que estare muerto.  y que aunque lo sabia siempre en teoria no lo he realizado tanto como hasta ahora y eso me lleva a voltear de nuevo a hacia  usted; Sri Guru, aquella persona que trasmite el mensaje de krishna solo aquel conocimiento puede ser perfecto , estoy aceptando todo como una reaccion , no me extraña nada , aun asi me duele y me asusta no poder hacer algo por mi paso a una mejor situacion de vida , estoy en un alejado lugar del caribe , supuestamente espero recuperarme para continuar con mi proyecto de distribuir prasadam mas no se si eso tenga sentido talvez solo deba dejar de tratar . aceptar la derrota y ahogarme en ese ocenano azul profundo de la ignorancia, no he perdido la fe en el Mahamantra afortunadamente y en SP , ahora son mi unico refujio canto y leeo sus libros mas mi corazon sigue sintiendo sequedad, sera que no tengo nada bueno que ofrecer , sera que he contamidado tanto este templo que es mi cuerpo , que su cobertura se a vuelto gruesa imposible de atravezar y no puedo ver si aun queda amor en mi

Dear GM I bow to your lotus feet imploring a particle of his mercy

life, my karma bad deciciones have led me to a situation where I'm losing almost everything, my partner for over 15 years now does not want to know anything about me, despises life of deception and lack of determination that for years I gave him, I lost my project a food truck in trying to distribute prasadam, lost friends, family, I realized that you can not trust a world full of imperfect people imperfections, but in this madness of loneliness and existential emptiness, just barely persivo certain that I'll be dead. and although I always knew in theory I have not done much business as usual and that brings me to turn again to you; Sri Guru, a person who transmits the message krishna only that knowledge can be perfect, I am accepting everything as a reaction, it does not surprise me, even so it hurts and it scares me not to do something on my way to a better life I'm in a place away from the Caribbean, presumably hope to recover to continue my project to distribute prasadam but not if that makes sense maybe should just stop trying. accept defeat and drown in the deep blue ocenano of ignorance, I have not lost faith in the Mahamantra fortunately and SP, are now my refujio only singing and leeo his books but my heart still feels dry, it will have nothing good to offer, I will contamidado both this temple that is my body, your coverage to become impossible to atravezarlo thick and can not see if there is still love in my

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

He surfs the mind's delightful waves.
   He cannot change the ocean, no matter how much he raves.

Are we authorized to chant the Holy Names?
   Then no power on Earth, or Indra-loka, can retain your tongue.
Accept the impetus to work that from your Japa-Kirtan's sprung.

~ Gave Hawaii class. We put a fair amount of work into that -- preparation.  Always refine your preaching goals. Krsna and Balaram are doing that, adjusting Their preaching to audience, time, place and environment. If you need to change your audience, Krsna will inform you.
~ Today is Dvadasi, so we also shaved. We do it every two weeks because we might get skin-cancer if we save daily. Gillette Mach-4 blades were like $4 each! So we bought this package of BIC one blade razors at $2 for eight. Unless you are VERY careful they cut your face like a butcher.  Sannyasa Karma, Dharma.
