Letters to the editor

Hare Krishana esteemed and beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

It was so so so nice to have your and godbrothers/sisters association at Bs As and Cordoba. Many realizations, many gifts, little precious moments, enthusiastic to dwell in Vrindavan Dham.

You are giving so much Gurudev, so many opportunities for purification. Of course I'm missing most of them. Couldnt reach the deadline for Solaris article. So i will write it for the next issue.

Anartha nivritti becomes very painful sometimes!!

On saturday, for Nityananda Trayodasi I will install Sri Sri Gaura Nitai neem deities, the ones i brought from india, you saw them in kolkata.

I returned very enthusiastic for deity worshiping, you told me simple puja and read Srimad Bhagavatam for them. Perfect program!! So I want to bring the lord in a bigger form to increase my attachment to them.

Please Gurudev, give me your blessings to install them next saturday at Sama. They are the real healers!! The magicians!

Thank you for being such an intense and beautiful lighthouse for this unworthy soul!!

Trying to follow your footsteps!!

Krisna Krisna boli!!

Nikunja Bihari das.

His Holiness Hanumat Presaka Swami!

Please, accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada and your Holiness! I hope this letter meets you in good health.   I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST  TO PLEASE NOT POST MY LETTER FOR EVERYONE TO READ, IF I MAY!

HpS - ASA - Mataji! As we explain in the intro to this Blog, we are all Brahmacaris here and cannot carry on conversations alone with ladies. We didn't read your letter beyond this point. Please send again with general question we can answer here or send name asked address of proper chaperone, man with whom we can communicate individually with your good self. Hare Krsna.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope this finds you in good health. I passed the disciple course last week, and I requested a recommendation letter from Svavasa prabhu but I still haven't heard back from him yet. He is in India right now, I think participating in the GBC meetings in Mayapur. Probably he is busy and hasn't had time to reply. I wanted to ask you if there's any possibility I could take initiation in the holy dhama? Unless plans change (considering recent events in Mayapur,) we are supposed to go to Mayapur from about 3/2-3/23, and then we go to Vrndavan from about 3/24-4/7.

I'm doing local sankirtan in LA, mostly griffith park observatory. I'm trying to go 7 days a week and also study for Bhakti shastri exam. We started a Bhakti yoga club at Pasadena City College. It starts on Tuesday. We're excited, the students are excited, it could be really great!

I had one philosophical question: I recall reading in Nectar of Devotion about how acaryas had different views about varnasrama duties. Is it correct that Rupa goswami did not consider them to be transcendental? Is Bhakti yoga strictly just 9 processes or can it take other forms as well? In Bhagavad Gita I remember Prabhupada saying somewhere that "Arjuna firing arrows is transcendental." Does karma yoga become transcendental if it's ordered by Krsna or guru? On some level isn't varnasrama duty in general prompted by the Supersoul?  Is Karma yoga distinct from Bhakti in terms of the activity itself, or consciousness, or both? If you could clarify here that would be very helpful, thank you!

Your humble servant,

Bhakta Eric
