Letters to the editor

Dear guru maharaj. Abhimanu is still here entertaining the kids at BDS and going to harinam. I just finished visiting New Gita Nagari. It's a Vedic village established by Bhakti Rhagava Swami on the island of Sumatra. The village is pretty much self sufficient. They use solar, have a school and are working to fulfill Prabhupada's vision. I think you will like it. I would like to live there and teach English. I will send outline soon. Your servant, Ken

HARE Krsna ASA -- Our respects to Abhi.

Mis reverencias querido Gurumaharaja. Espero que se encuentre ud bien. Desde Buenos Aires, Aregtnina. Le escribo nuevamente. Hace unos meses le escribí una carta, pero no se si le habra llegado. Le cuento que estoy empezando el bhakti sastri dictado en el templo de bs as hace un mes aproximadamente. Hace mucho que quería hacerlo y finalmente me decidí entregarme al estudio, ajaj. Lo esta dictando Padmajakanta prabhu, un gran devoto.

Tambien semanalmente estamos juntandonos con pankajangri y lomasa rsi prabhu(discipulo de Hridayananda maharaja) para estudiar BG y NOI, como tambien canciones vaisnavas de Bhaktivinoda Thakur, Narottama das thakur y acaryas. Siento que la asociación con los devotos contínua es muy inspirante y es la base fundamental de este proceso.

Gurudeva, recuerdo con mucho cariño su asociación en cordoba hace algunos meses atrás. Espero que se repita esa experiencia.

El yatra de Argentina esta un poco movilizado en estos momentos. Son momentos dificiles para algunos devotos. Pido sus bendiciones para que todo se acomode pronto

Gracias por leer mi carta

mis reverencias a ud

ASA -- We only expect to find a perfect Temple in Braja. Now we can avoid the problems. Let Krsna and Balaram kill Demons in ISKCON.

Go ahead. We have faults. Were try to control term, but mostly were hope our Yoga to correct them at the root.

Hare Krsna, Maharaja. AGtSP!! Please accept my obeisance. Just reporting... i dont live anymore at the temple because I took precipitated decisions and because of that maya its everywhere i feel so weird I think nothing its right and every step that i take its a wrong one.. so for the moment Im gonna work harder in my devocional service (it easy to writte but not very much practice it) so the mind its going crazy but when it calms its very comfortable and i want to stay there all day... difficult times, thats the true. But japa and devotees takin me out of all that. Its wonderful. Im about to rent with a mataji, work and go to the temple and do my service. Im gonna accept i hace fear I' ve never feel like this thats why i haven wrote this last months... give me your blessings please i feel sunken. Im really sorry because i cant be a deserving aspirant of you. But give me your blessings to someday can be worthy of have you like diksa guru and follow your steps to reach the supreme goal... Hare Krsna.

ASA. - . Hare Hare Krishna,

We moved out of the Temple once. Temple was crazy. GBC agreed when they came two months later. It was easier living alone but harder in other ways. Experiment- in, out, half in half half out. That is making your own ashrama by sharing room with other lady. In any case life goes very quick so focus a lot on where your next life will be!

Please accept my humble obeisances, All Glories to Srila
Prabhupada!

Have submitted Mata Subhra's posting for staff at her school here in Texas. Hope we may generate many applicants, if you would like some part time work Maharaja just let us know!

your servant in training,

ASA -- Very nice, but I don't know if the letter is readable. Maybe better to cut and paste it into the Body of another Blog post.

Hare krsna gurudev

All glories to srila Prabhupada

All glories to H.H.Hanumatpresaka swami maharaj 

Please accept my dandavat pranam at your lotus feet .

Gurudev how are you? Your hectic schedule traveling round the different continents inspire all of us.Thank you for accepting me and blessing me with your association.

Regarding my sadhana 16 rounds and 4 regs good. For few days I got little depressed with duty etc  and missed my rounds but back on tract and chanting the missed rounds too.

Gurudev I beg you to kindly allow me to do BHAKTISASTRI in Vrindavan from VIHE this semester from july 2 to November 2 2016. This will help me read Srila Prabhupada's book under guidance of senior devotees . I am lacking association so this will help me get association of senior devotees and Prabhupada disciples . Plus a opportunity to stay in dhama. Please gurudev allow me to do this course and kindly bless me .

As i will be finishing my internship by may'16 my parents have agreed to give me this break for 5 months  . I asked H.G.Haridas prabhu and he too allowed me. If you think this course will help me please allow me to do it.

Thank you gurudev for all the troubles you are taking for all of us.

ASA -- Hare Krsna. Hare Rama.

It sounds fine to us. We don't know the details, like will the weather be o.k. for you.

Plan an austere time. Living in Braja for five months is like joining the Rasa Lila for fifty minutes. Lot of work!

Hare Krishna Gurudev!

Pamho, agtSP,

In BG 9.26 Prabhupada translates with love and devotion. The Sanskrit is bhaktyā prayacchati and bhakty-upahṛtam.

The question is what is the difference between love and devotion or between this two sanskrit terms. Why SP is making a distinction between this two terms?

Thank you Gurudev!!

Your fallen servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

ASA -- Hare Krsna! We don't know. Have you seen the studio and illustrated version of "Perhaps Love" by Placido Domingo and John Denver on the YouTube?

It might give some perspective.
