Letters to the editor

Dear Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhudada!

Thank you for your last visit and thank you for helping me so much with your words. My Japa is still a little bit disorganized but I am trying to improve the quality as much as I can or as much as much as I know. Lately, I am feeling very busy and, sometimes, very tired, but I don't know how to stop or even if I have to do it. So, here I am!  The kids, in my class, have already learnt the Maha mantra and the Govinda song. They really like it. It is very funny hearing them singing it while they are playing at the playground. The school year is almost finished and I can say that these children have enjoyed a lot hearing the Maha mantra, waking up the Deities and all kind of activities relates to Krishna we have made. More than previous years, I think.

About Gurukula, I have divided the group in two. On Thursdays, I have one session with the little ones (1 to 3 y.o.), and on Fridays, the other group (5 to 15). I should divide the last one, as Urmila devi  dasi told me, and I hope I can do it soon. I am just thinking  and asking advice on how to do it.

This last weekend, we went to NVM for the Sri Nrisimhadeva festival. It was very nice. I made some activities with the kids there. They are very nice.

But I am trying to focus a little bit on my rounds. Let's see if I am able to improve them, at least, a little bit.

Thank you so much for reading my letter and hoping you are fine.

Your humble servant,

Purnamasi devi  dasi

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!!!   paoho.  Thank you for your nice letter.      Happy Birthday, 1976 June 4.

So you will now no longer be a young lady. Now you are 40-years old. In ten more years the energy in your body will be finished. Maybe you can push it to 55. This is all very nice. Krsna is pushing us along to get ready for death. Death in a chance, if not before, to leave this material body, world, and go back to Goloka!

So much is happening there!

We are needed so much.

On the other hand, this world can also be Goloka if we are associating with devotees, preaching to the innocent...

How many rounds do you have done before Mangala-arati? Before breakfast? By 10AM?

That's one nice test to see how you are getting better rounds done.

You work in a Public School, no?   You are teaching those little kids to chant, "Hare Krsna"???

You have a ton of work to do. You have to save yourself, your husband, your kids, your parents, your Church, your Nation. .  .
Mother Yasoda was giving milk to Krsna and then the pot boiled over.  Ooof!  Choices!  Which service to do: Give milk to Krsna or save His pot of milk on the stove.    It is not a choice between Maya and Krsna. It is a choice between this Krsna and that Krsna!!!     Hmmm!
In the Purport Prabhupada says that devotee is always being confronted with these choices in devotional service, but if he is sincere, then Krsna within his heart will give him intelligence which service to do.

The more we chant better 16-rounds, the more intelligence we have.
Waiting to hear the results of your work!

Our respect to Nimai and Jayantai!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I am not sure how much information you got from my email via Mathuradish Prabhu.

I am presently in New Govardhana Farm in Murwillumbah, Australia. I am understand you have been here?

I have been chanting for many years (on and off since 1995), but have just recently moved onto the farm here and have been very serious over the past year or so. I recently finished the disciple course.

I have sought advise from Mathuradish (who I have I great deal of faith in) about who I should take shelter of. He has known me since I joined the farm here three months ago. 

I shared my mind to him about doubts I had about other gurus and so he emphatically recommended you to me. I guess he believed you were an excellent example of a sannyasi and spiritual leader. He has always given me great advise.

I am very pleased to have made contact with you and look forward to hearing again from you soon.

Your servant,

Janardan Das.

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna! If you go to our webpage at - www.jayarama.us, and then go to the Archives, you should a file labeled "guru-tattva.docx". It describes our basic idea of Guru.

Ooops!  We made a mistake. It is www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt

What do you think of it?

Say, "Hello, Hare Krsna", to Mathuresa Das for us. I think he could do any ISKCON Guru job that I am doing as well as me.

Waiting for your thoughts!

Yes, we been to New Govardhan. Wonderful place except for the snakes, ei, Mate! 'ow's Dhanesvari & Dhruva and their Ma and Pa ?

Hare Krsna!

Hare Rama!    AGTSP!!!     Paoho & Bw.      We just finished our Saturday Night Live with Spanish language devotees. Was so nice. We read from the Lila-smaranam of Uddhava at the beginning of Canto Three.     First we have to get in Goodness, then we can appreciate the transcendental Form and Pastimes of the Lord as: A giant Hog, A giant Fish, Maha-visnu or whatever He wish!

We have letters from five days, but we are t i r e d!

(Rat One: No you are lazy and greedy! You are a cheater! Taking bananas and baked potatoes and giving nothing in return.).

ASA: Maybe so, but better to just chant Hare Krsna and look for Krsna's lotus feet and join the festival. It is going on. This is the greatest place in the universe, 902 Hillcrest Dr; Murfreesboro, TN; USA.

All the city can come and join the fun we are having.

Of course, it depends toe tally on Krsna. He is fun. He is having a good time with Laxmi as Naryana. It is like a picnic sponsored by the school where everyone is 16-years old more or less, and one student is the greatest adn He has His regular Girlfriend and everyone is just experiencing all the different oportunities of the Spiritual Disneyland, Vaikuntha.

But we have to participate with our contribution: The Catsup!

Today we had two Classes!  Hosted Musa and Tandavika Das. TD had driven for two hours to South of here to Cokeville to pick up Musa. He had been for one week at the Students State Week. The American Legion sponsors about 150-high school kids who divide into 2-parties and get elected to different jobs in the State Government. Musa ran for Governor and got the nomination from his party but lost to the kid from the other party.

He was amazed at how rustic was the consciousness of the Kids. His opponent was serious that they should build a wall and keep people from coming from Kentucky, the State south of Tennessee, and taking jobs from people here. He also said that women are messing up the work force. They should not be allowed to work. Amazing. The real Governor, Head of the State Militia, two Senators and others were there. He was a amzazed at how uninformed they were about history, actual State and Federal administration etc.

Hmmmmm.   Kali-yuga.    It happened in Germany, madness took over.   Only solution is to get your own umbrella and pass them out to others. If it gets bad people will have motivation to hear about Vaikuntha!

Hare Krsna!
See you in Sankirtan-space!!!

Esteemed Swamiji
It is gratifying to learn about the fact that your preparations for the Peru event are in place and my suggestions have been welcome. I am sure that this noble initiative will fructify in further ventures of practical import. Wish you and your learned and messianic colleagues the very best . My fond regards and goodwill will be with you through your gruelling travels . Look forward  to seeing you when you are in India .

Oink!

Whoop!

   E=mc*2!                Oooof!    Are we tired, and our nose (we all use Brother Asses nose) burns from allergy. It is hot, but the allergy is not realy very bad at all. Our Yoga seems to help a lot.

With the fan the heat is O.K., and our work seems to be under control. We want to answer all the letters today. We want to do all the work today, but some of these things are complicated to do.

For example, we interviewed Dr. Kalyan Kumar Chakraborty while we were in Delhi last February and Sri Hari Das recorded it on our cell phone. It was a good interview. They want it for the Peru Symposium, but when I look for it on my cell phone I see many files with nothing but numbers for their names. Many numbers.

O.K. plug the phone into the computer... it doesn't see any files this time!!!!

Wait (Super soul?), turn the cell phone on.

Ahhhh!  Now it sees files.

Ahhhh!   Sort them by date created.    Ahhhh!  This one, now that one?  Yes.  O. K. transfer it to the computer.

Now look for a free Large File Transfer Service.  Look!    Loook!     LOOK!                Select. Blah!   Blah!     Blah!     Sign up. Start the transfer.       God!    It is free but it is so slow that after two hours it is still loading!   (If you pay more it will be faster!)

Try another...  It is worse.

Try to upload it to our Web Page.   That takes time to learn how to do it.

It works (after 20-minutes) and gives us time to chant three rounds.

Ooof!

Did ART get it?         Yes, Ajata Das is subtitling it.

        %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Having the FMP Crew there makes getting up early so much easier.

We struggle with proper Prasadam, our house, NIOS work, our greed etc.

Hare!   Hare!            Could be a whole lot worse.    We are doing a little bit, but big results depend on Krsna.   So many nice friends, tools, very nice Masters.

Now it is 2.36PM.  R-17.   No walk with NGD tonight, there is an Office Party for Rodney's retirment. He has been NGD's Nurse Practical for many years.  I hope they stay in touch, but why? Krsna is the only friend, master, lover, no?   He must be Rodney's Friend.

We offered instant Grits to Krsna with celery and carrots.

We should do the work on NIOS/Microsoft Charity rules, but our brain is tired.

We really enjoyed giving the Hawaii class today (got a little heroic), but not many comments.  Maybe we are mad.

Piggy: Well 'mad', is a foregone conclusion. 'Madder than we thought we were', is a better consideration., 'madder than others', maybe.

Wake up Lord Nrsmha deva. Offer some mixed nuts (like ASA Membership) and soaked cranberrys and put some milk on the warm.

We also did yard work today. Some plants stick up so high the hand push lawn mower won't cut them. So we went out and worked on them one by one. Felt satifying to see the flat horizon later.

O.K. (Ommmm Krsnaya-namahaaaa)

   'x' <Whoof!

TRASH
The Monkeys lived in cyber space,
   On a vessel named, Guru's Grace.
They dined on floating sea-weed scum,
   That they ate with non-toxic children's Rum.

And then when desperation was about break,
   They got a news that the Fortress they could take.
They came out of Cyber-space with cannons roaring and celery and carrots flying and routed or converted the monist and nihlists for ISKCON's Divine Grace.

Prabhupada is above, all politics and quarrels,
   But Prabhupada is also intrigued with the details of the ISKCON world.
Salty or Salsa, fill your cup to the rim,
  Chanting the Vaisnava's saced hymn.

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Gaura Nitay Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y mis respetuosas reverencias a las empanadas SUS!
