Letters to the editor

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.

Hare Krishna AGTSP

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" />

Camila R. Chilean living in Buenos Aires, Arrrgentina. 22 years old. 

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!

                      HARE KRSNA DEAR GURUDEVA:

                  PAMHO,AGTSP!!!

                  I HOPE YOU FEEL HEALTHY AND RECOVERED FROM ALL THE TRAVELLING BY  THE TIME YOU

                  READ THIS LETTER...

                  IT HAS BEEN GREAT TO FOLLOW YOU, I HOPE NOT TOO DISTURBING FOR YOU...

                 THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH AN EFFORT,  TRAVELLING IT´S SUCH AN STRUGGLE!!

                  I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS:

                 1ST. HOW CAN I RELEASE FEAR TO GIVE UP ON ILLICIT SEX AND THUS BECOME A CHASE WIFE?

                 2ND. AND LESS TRANSCENDENTAL... I MAY HAVE THE CHANCE TO HAVE A PART-TIME JOB IN BRIHUEGA AS

                  ENGLISH  TEACHER FROM SEPTEMBER, FOR THIS I NEED TO DO SOME COURSES (INVEST TIME AND LAKSMI) TO

                  PREPARE...

                  WHAT DO YOU THINK? SHALL I TRY? OR SHALL I FOCUS ON SANKIRTAN? (FOR OUTREACH AS WELL AS TO MAKE A

                  LIVING,  NOW THAT WE DO NOT DEPEND ON BHADRA´S JOB...)

                  THANK YOU FOR THE NOTEBOOK...I KNOW IT WAS FOR BHADRA...BUT STILL.<img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" />

                       ASPIRING TO BECOME YOUR SINCERE SERVANT

                   SANANDA DEVI DASI

                  HPS - ASA - - Hare Krsna! It was nice having association of u and BVD. Thank you. Thanks to Bhaktin Maite also.

Best way to get free from material sex desire is to get spiritual sex desire. Become servants of Radha Krsna in Their conjugal play. You can do that by spontaneously worshipping Their Deity every day. Buy for Them, cook for Them, take Them to school.

If you should teach in Brihuega, I do not know. It could be very nice, you'll meet new people and pictures you can them show. Talk to your advisors locally.

Many ways to do Sankirtan.

Send us more news. The Journal its for everyone, no? Only 1/3 finished.

ASA - HpS -- AgtSP. Paoho. Follows a wonderful Report by ARTDas. Distribute it to your friends and relations as soon as possible, at least to one person.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, su inutil sirviente, Abhiram Thakur das.

1. We live in a bubble of time and space, dominated by the feet of His Divine Grace.
2. Within that Bubble, Kirtaniya sada harih, always chant, but at least sixteen enthusiastic rounds on your beads. NOI 7 & 8, CC 1.17.123.
3.  On top of chanting: SB 5.5.3 "Those who are interested in reviving Kṛṣṇa consciousness and increasing their love of Godhead do not like to do anything that is not related to Kṛṣṇa. They are not interested in mingling with people who are busy maintaining their bodies, eating, sleeping, mating and defending. They are not attached to their homes, although they may be householders. Nor are they attached to wives, children, friends or wealth. At the same time, they are not indifferent to the execution of their duties. Such people are interested in collecting only enough money to keep the body and soul together." Your daily duties will follow like a shadow.
