Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my sincere humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

I can feel myself getting closer, much closer to initiation than I have so far in this life. I've moved into the temple, adjusted my work schedule to be present for entire morning program and SB class. I've become the treasurer for the brahmacari ashram here in Denver. I'm really excited and enthused for this seva. Set a timeline for receiving recomendation from TP Tushta Krishna Das Prabhu and Ashram Leader Vinoda Kovida Das. 

Since getting established I've found myself getting pulled away by the modes. Sleeping in and missing morning program, pulled around by other bodily desires for illicit sex and intoxication. Slowly taking some desperate measure by writing this letter to gear my association to where it should be. Just overall feelings of low confidence in my ability to take initiation seriously (though two weeks ago I was extremely confident). I want to be able to make my vows with all sincerity and confidence that I will refrain from breaking any regs or not completing my rounds. Truthfully I'm just feeling a bit broken hearted. I know what I should do. But I also have these stupid mundane desires that I listen to far too much. I know my mind is getting to a dangerous place because I've contemplated the 'one foot in, one foot out' situation where I'm being nonsense but still being attached to my service. Though I still know that is not actually doable, there is no middle ground. 

I've already purchased my ticked to have your association in Boise. I'm also hoping that Tushta Krishna will be in touch with you to request a visit here to Denver. I know your calendar said probably no other USA stops this year, but I'm praying that Krishna will arrange something. 

Your lowly aspiring servant,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS ASA - Yes. We fight with selfish desires. We want Krsna to be happy.

Are we making progress daily.

Yes, we got invitation to visit Denver from Sacisuta Das, but out just is not possible. We're in transit through Denver both ways but will kill us if we start traveling again.

Just Boise.

Make progress today. Don't take more service than you can do. Don't be lazy, HpS!

Hare Krsna. Hare Rama!

We have letters from one week and the days ago to answer! We are getting our feet on the ground and actually working more efficiently back in Tennessee more than before we left.

We'll see. We make our feeble efforts and The Witch makes her counter attacks.

We've answered all the URGENT letters. We will start the Wednesday night Bhakti Sastri workshops. 7pm Nashville time.

They must be fun as well as practical.

We took Rtadvaja Swami's Mother's car for emission test and it failed. It it's a 1992 Oldsmobile. Then we searched for a mechanic that might be able to fix it.

Worked on the ASA calendar for the next Kapi-dhvaja, especially the Boise Festival. Are you coming? Fresh air. White water rafting maybe. Senior devotees.

o.k. Time for bed!

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Issues with editor (formating) should be fixed now. I updated all modules into latest version.

However if you will see any issues please let me know through the email as that is fastest and most reliable way how I will get info.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

PS: We are back in Sridham Mayapur, will send letter about Thailand soon.

HpS - Hare Krsna! I am back in USA and starting to catch up on the mail. I hoped you might stay in the Dhama but wherever Krsna wants to send us.

Always we're thanking you for your help, especially the Blog. Yes, the format seems different and for our Windows Phone a little tougher in some ways, but we are adjusting.

YES, news of your Krsna conscious experiences in Thailand! ! !

Hare Krishna Maharaja! PAMO AGTSP PP!

Quite some pain in my heart while writing you.
Just checked my account, 8 months I didn't post a letter.
Anyway don't mean this to be a sad one, rather a realistic one.


Well moved out of the Ashrama(Govinda'S) went a bit not too much distant from sydney's cbd. 1/2 hour.
Studying music, happy to see how I can easily apply it to kirtan and see how others and I can enjoy it. 

Was doing some rounds few weeks ago and it was really fulfilling and energizing doing it before school days so I wouldn't get too disturbed.
But really nothing firm at the moment in terms of rounds & sadhana/books reading a bit here and there. I Believe I just focused on my music so much 
that forgot about everything else basically. 
Went to Gaura Purnima+Aindras appearence day+ today I'm going to the Bhakti Club program at the uni . So my preaching is also a bit here and there. Sometimes though, discussing/explaining bhakti things to my friend Juan(from the Ashrama) is helpful/refreshing.
Nothing like the golden times tho.

Having a sanskrit name it'd be nice yea, but not enough inspiration to uplift my sadhana, feel like an old cow under the shade forced to walk on a very hot sunny day 300 km ! Spiritualy speaking, energy is great for 22. And yea I don't yet realise the intricacies of being here, just looking for more of this comfort, not wanting to scape to goloka dham. 

Really appreciate what you are doing and all the devotees of Iskcon around the globe.

well i wouldnt' even call myself your servant atm.

HpS - Hare Krsna!

AgtSP. Every one is so different. I can't tell really how you are doing too much from the news you sent. Has Maya captured important ground in our heart or our deviations just superficial?

We are playing around with Samsara, no? And if we get to far into it Krsna can't help us!

One more time around Piccadilly circus!

Fleas, worms living in out intestines... Focus on Prabhupada. Read the Krsna book to see what kind of taste we . Don't push too much artificially, get a higher taste, some intelligent renunciation is needed, no?

All Glories To Sri Sri Gour nitay!
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All Glories to you!! 

Hare Krsna dear Maharaj, how are you? I hope this find you in a very gooood health :) <img alt="laugh" height="22" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="22" />

Firs of all i'm going to thank your answer to my previous letter, it was so nice, i felt very happy...so...THANK YOU! 

Everyday i'm trying to make friend with my japa, so the chant is less forced..and more natural...sing... sing and pray. We also are trying to put more love and dedication. 

I told you once that i'm with a devotee: Seva Kunja Das, disciple of Bhaktimarga Swami. In march he proposed to me..and we are going to get married! in September. I'm asking for your blessing in this stage...in which the two of us  will enter in the Grhasta Ashram. Without your blessings my heart will be broken...so...please, i need your blessings. 

On another subject,  I was doing service at the temple with Seva Kunja...I was helping him to cook for the deities, but the authorities won't let us doing more service, cause our condition of : not married. I was VERY sad, cause i loved that service, but if is Krsna Desire i will find another service to do for him at the temple. For now, we are serving our deities at home (photo) ; NITAYGAURA SUNDARA. This amazing and merciful form of the lord is developing so much love in my heart. 

I want to take initiation under your shelter..and under Srila Prabhupada's Shelter (firs of all) ..., i'm gonna make things right, and maybe some day be your spiritual daughter if you let me.  

Well, without nothing more to say, only my best wishes for the amazing service that you are doing for Srila Prabhupada's mission. And hoping that your health is always good and fine. 

HARE KRSNA! HARE RAMA! 

(The deites of the photo are the ones who are living in our place...NitayGoura Sundara) 

HPS ASA - Hare Krsna!

Thanks for your letter. We are old, so we always have health problems t they don't touch our soul! AgtSP!

Prabhupada got boys and girls married after a short time in New York. He said that they couldn't be members of the Society of they were living together and not married.

Of course we hope your marriage is a step in the right direction. One who does good is never overcome by evil!

Standard is 16-rounds and for principles. It is a show of our love for Krsna.

Thank you for your association. Make a lot of progress quickly!

Ki

hare krishna beloved and esteemed Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisnces,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Parama karuna Gaura Nitai brought huge blessings to our home!!

Mar del Plata Yatra is roaring!

Many things going on!! We are preparing a play for Rama Navami.

The ecologic house project is going on succesfully at Sri Govardhan, Hh Krishna Ksetra Swami saw it and said it is a kali yuga house out of garbage but he liked the concept.

The con about this is that withdrew energy and time for our spiritual practice so now we must finish what we started but huge realization that nothing is worthy besides a strong morning program and 16 good rounds.

We are struggling for this yet!! 

We feel sad and inspired because of Gunagrahi Swami/prabhu as well as all the situation at Mayapur Dham.

We feel proud of being part of ISKCON family and huge responsibility at the same time. 

Your guide is like a life guard in this ocean of faults of this material world. And we will try our best to help you help Srila Prabhupada!!

We are having good contact with Ambarish, Madhavendra and Rati manjari prabhus to coordinate your Sankirtan here in argentina.

You rock them all gurudev with your faultless character and your purity!!

What good quality do we have?

We are demon desguised as devotee!! Your mercy is unlimited to this fallen soul!!

Trying to serve you.

Nikunja Bihari Das.

HpS - ASA - Very interesting news. We are maybe two steps ahead of you in purification but Srila Prabhupada is on top of the hill guiding us out.

More news as it happens. Who else is prominent to you in your community? What do they do?

o.k. We Tweet and bathe now!

HARE KRSNA!
