Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Guru maharaja!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my humble obeisances
 

I'm sorry for writting you as urgent, but as i told you in my last letter, i had plans to marry on 19th of May, due to my fiance is from Peru, we needed her civil papers certificated to be used in Mexico for the wedding, so we made de arrangement with her family, still, the letter hasnt arrived yet and there is no guarantee that they would arrive at time to make proper arrangements with civil registry to get a space at that date...
we dont want to cancel or pospose the date of the wedding because we have plans to travel together at June, besides, the astrologer who made our compability chart said that date is the best planetary arrangement in this months for us particularly, and also we had some guests making changes on their job to be able to assist..

So, our Grihastha shiksha, Radhika Mataji said we can keep on the planning and make a Gandharva wedding propperly asisted by Aravinda Prabhu to have as witness of the formality a Sinior devotee of ISKCON, and to get the blessings of the most Vaishnava possible at the date which is more auspicious, of course, with the understanding that whenever the letter arrive to our city we will inmediattly go to the office to make civil wedding accordingly to the society.
Aravinda prabhu asked me to send you this letter because he is not so sure that arrangement is in concordance with ISKCON's view, even though he said that if you aprove it, he will participate joyfully.

I just want to say, that even though i know the importance of the civil laws, it is not the case that we didn't wanted to marry by those laws, but we could not made the propper arrangements at time; speaking for me, i have related with Sri Radha as my wife for the last 6 months we have been sharing laxmi, plans of life, taking care of each other, etc. So my personal view is that making the Gandharva wedding on 19th May and then civil wedding at the moment we recieve the documents would be as when Srila Prabhupada recommended that if you have to travel at an inauspicious to travel, then just make your luggage and put them out the day before, and then continue with travel next day... But please, correct me if im wrongly understanding or speculating.
 

We will be happy to make whatever you decide.
Your aspirant to service

HpS - ASA -   AGTSP paoho & bw!   It seems fine to us. You are consulting with a lot of sane people. How do you biological families feel about this?  Have you got the blessings of the Temple Authorities?  Main things is chant 16-good rounds daily and follow the 4-principles strictly, then you can't make any big mistakes. After that have full morning program together.
Fine point is to read and discuss the marriage of Kardama and Devahuti together and even as a small seminar with other Grhasthas. Make comments and even puiblish it all.

O.K?

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!
All Glories to you.
All glories to devotees.

Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet, my shelter.

Guru Maharaja like i told you in my last letter i have a relationship with Nitai Gaurananda Prabhu, these last times was hard, learning lessons... changing my life other ganization, new planning... everything is new for us. We have a meeting with H.H. Srila Virabahu Maharaja who share with us his experiences and realizations about Grihasta asram. I want to know if you agree if i can take shelter in his intructions, because he is the Guru Maharaja of my fiance. He is taking care of us and giving advices about the aproppiate behavior in Grihasta asrama. I want to know what do you think about that. 

HpS - I think he is very good guide for you.

We're so convince about our join and we decide to get married soon after that we will move togheter and for give this step I really need your blessings. 
My life is yours because of that I think is propper talk about that. I need to know if you agree. And what you think about that.

Thanks for your time dear Gurudeva. 

Your daughter

HpS - Follow Virabahu Das advice and talk with other sane people.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada 

Dear Guru Maharaja, 

Thank you for encouraged me Always. We visited Chandramukha Swami and he is so happy to be host in Vraja Bhumi,  2hours from Rio de Janeiro,  Brasil,  to the third Congress. Param Padam is organizing the teleconferences meeting to discuss the program in advance. I think he's sending to one old mail yours and you are not receiving their mails. At least from me I will send you Soon more details regarding the dates proposals from Chandramukha Maharaj and Nanda nanda.

HpS - AGTSP!    We received letters from Param and exchanged some.

But the purpose of this URGENT message is an invitation-request:

Could you give one skype lecture (recorded by me also)  for the Jayananda's Thakur appearance which will celebrate here at Santie this Saturday 14th May or,  if is not possible,  for the  Jayananda's Thakur Disappearance celebration the Thursday 19. The lectures are 18:30 hrs.  (Boise is -4 hours) but in the week we suggest to do it at 19:00 hrs.  To give time to the devotees to arrive because the traffic. 

Thank you gurudev for your inspiration.  We are spiritual alive and having even more spiritual health. 

Hare Krishna.

ASA - Ooof!   This Saturday is not possible. We have programs every minute with the Temple Cultural Complex inauguration.

Thursday seems fine.  We looked at jayanandathakura.com and it give his birth day at 27 April 1939, but that doesn't seem correct. He would have been nine years older than us and that didn't seem a fact. also as I understand he came to San Francisco just after graduating in Engineering from the University, so he would have been about 23-years old then.   Hmm?   Maybe born like 1944.

Thursday 19.00 hours = 16.00 for Nashville?

Hare Krishna Maharaj!  Please accept my humblest obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad and all glories to you!

I spoke to the local priests at the temple and they said they can arrange for everything on any given Sunday! With so many auspicious events coming (Sita Devi’s appearance, Nrisimhadev Appearance Day, rath yatra), the amount of devotee association is amazing!
I understand you are leaving back to South America mid-June. Is there any way I can sponsor a ticket for you to come to DC before then? We can make all the arrangements necessary. 

I hope the constant back and forth aren’t taking a toll on your health. Please let me know as you see fit maharaj. The Richmond devotees would be exhilarated as well.

Your attempting to be humble servant,
Sarita

HpS - AgtSP! What Temple? Send your beads with return address for the Priest as soon as possible.

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja , Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Prabhupada

Dandavat Pranam

Yestarday, Sunday, the 8th May 2016 we 5 (five) members had a meeting with discussion in the Guruji's Aashram. We decided to start out weekly sunday discussion in the Guruji's Aashram regularly. Nanda Gopa Das suggested to start reading the sanda (vocabulary) of Visnu Sahasasranam regularl one or more sloka otherwise we would not be able to read any Sanskrit slokas from Gita, Bhagavatam and Caitanya Caritamrta etc. And we get a good signal from the Mandir Management Committee that they are interested to co-of  our group in the new  committee formation and desire to follow the norms of ISKCON. So, very shortly some changes may be occured with the blessings of Guruji. 

On the other hand, we are planning to extend some portion of Guruji's Aashram so as to enable some one may stay as Guruji's servitor (sevari) whenever Guruji stay in the Aashram. Last time due to shortage of accomodaton, all the bhaktas who come from Imphal could not stay with us and gone back to Imphal in the same night. It is very sorry from our side. One more thing is that we are planning to construct a new Rath for performing  Rath Jatra of Jaganath, Blabhadra and Subhadra.

Only one word or latter is so important for me, So please advise us from time time to time the Dos and Don'ts.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Hare Krsna. Why not read, chant together, the prayers of Queen Kunti, in Canto One, Chapter Eight?
