Letters to the editor

Dear Gurudeva,

Pamho, AgtSP!

I hope you are well in health and spirit.

HpS - AGTSP!!! So nice to hear from you. We think of you all and wonder if you are dead or alive. Well, where you are alive. What universe.

Brother Ass has been having allergy actions.

strange because the robot says that the pollen level is low.

lettuce see what news follows.

It's been a long time since I last wrote to you.

ASA - Yup! 😐

I'd like to inform you that I'm now living in the Cordoba hills region, in a place called La Cumbre.

ASA 🔭 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Cumbre,_Argentina

This has been quite an eventful year, with various significant changes happening in my life.

After almost 20 years together and 14 years of marriage, my wife and I decided to separate, amicably and peacefully, though it was still emotionally intense.

Initially, I was somewhat sad, but now my spirits are much better, although I still feel a bit disoriented, mostly learning to be more on my own.

HpS/ASA - Sometimes the wife is expecting her husband to be KRSNA. That is like expecting the mailman to be your rich uncle.

Towards the end of the previous year, I sold the house that was near the city of Cordoba, where you visited us several times.

I've been busy building cabins for rent in the touristy area where I now live.

My spiritual life is in survival mode, with fluctuating enthusiasm, especially with my japa chanting.

There are days when I don't manage to complete the 16 rounds, and I'm eager to improve on this.

HpS/ASA - Be an accountant. Keep track of how many rounds you owe Krsna.

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/10/14/8/ . As long as you can breath you can chant. if you chant constantly, at least 16-rounds you are making ... eternal... progress toward reviving your spiritual body. KRSNA is pulllllling from His Side with all the Gopis and Gopas!!!

Here in the hills, there are Sunday programs in progress, mainly focused on engaging with the children in the community, providing them with a space to connect with other devotee children and learn more about Krishna consciousness.

HpS - Super! What happened to your ?son?

We are keen to share from a more cultural perspective. The people in this area are very friendly and are quite attracted to everything related to spirituality or mysticism.

Gurudev, do you still have plans to travel to India next year? I would very much like to be in Vrindavan with you and the devotees.

HpS - Have you seen the Kapi Dhvaja, www.jayarama.us/news.htm? Our Calendar is there, always.

Stay in the center. connected to KRSNA. Then you can offer a hand to others!!

Your servant,

Madhavendra Puri Das

Hare Krishna, agtsp, pamho

Dear Gurudeva,

This is a brief report on some spiritual activities. Since July 2023, I have committed again to some pujari service a week for Sri Sri Kishor Kishori (mostly Sringar Arati).

HpS - It is like serving the King and Queen of Spain? 😃

In addition, I am reading and discussing CC with my friend HG Gokulananda Prabhu on Sundays.

HpS - He is in Chicago? Govardhana?

I plan to go to Tennessee this fall to visit the Mulberry Murari Sevaka farm. Perhaps I could give a short Mrdanga workshop to the devotees that live in the area, just for fun and because a teacher always teaches. I'm already coordinating with Mitravinda Mata.

HpS - It is interesting place! They are inspiring devotees. Got threE B*I*G dogs.

🐶 🐶 🐶. Maybe we can talk on the phone. Send your phone number. WeWill not-post it.



After completing my second master's next year, I may reallocate south (perhaps Nashville?) to continue my library and piano teaching activities.

Super. Let us talk.

As for the rest of things, everything is normal, with no major tribulations or euphoric experiences. I am only grateful to you, Prabhupada, and the Vaishnavas for the instructions on this path and the opportunities to serve.

Respectfully,

ys EKD

HpS - Any contact with your Biological Family?

🐵🐵🐵

🙏

Haré Krsna, Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis sinceras reverencias .

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Continuamos en servicio por la misericordia de Krsna.

Ahora en New Vrindaban ( west Virginia) estoy deseando visitarlo en Houston,

HpS/ASA - Super. Vidaghda and family are there!

We hope to see you in Nila-madhava Dhama!!!

También Pensé en acompañarlo en su viaje de Nashville a Houston. Veremos qué se acomoda más a mi servicio para poder ir . Su eterno sirviente Rohini Kumar Das

HpS - Srinivasa Das comes Sunday morning 19th November (8-weeks from now) from Houston and we go back together that afternoon, but we are anxious to get your association however we can. Even more so it KRSNA!!!

Any artists in New Vrndavana?

Hare krishna gurudev,PLEASE ACCEPT MY HUMBLE OBEISANCE, ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPAD.

This is just a try mail to see if you receive this message.

Your fallen servant

Rupanuga siddhanta das

HpS - Yes, this is it.

We answered your previous posts.

We were so happy to see you in Richmond, but unhappy we did not get your contact information.

We have been little slow to answer letters.

Krsna always connects us heart to heart.

Dandavats Praṇāmas Mahārāja, espero su Salud sea buena, estoy muy contento de ponerme en contacto con UD, Mi nombre es Edgar Manuel Escamilla Zamarrón pertenezco a la comunidad de ISKCON Cdmx, Soy Payaso y por eso me conocen los Devotos como Kazzymiro, he podido celebrar con UD su Viasapuja en dos ocasiones, en casa de Jagatha Bando dāsa en Xochimilco y hacer Saṃskṛtam con UD lo conozco desde hace 22 años y he ejecutado servicio con sus discípulos Akincana Kṛṣṇa Dāsa, Angada dāsa y Malini DD en la vaca Lechera y otros proyectos artísticos, así como con Anirudha Prabhu y Aristasena Prabhu cuando hacía el Gurvkula, Nunca me había animado a acercarme a UD por exceso de respeto y apego a mis anarthas, le hago la Puja a Śrīla Prabhupāda y a UD desde hace como 3 años a las 4 de la mañana, canto mis 16 rondas desde hace 2 años y trato de ir frecuentemente a Mangala ārātika al templo (2 o 3 veces por semana) aunque llego más bien a cantar Rondas con Tulasī Mahārāni ya que el metro lo abren a las 5, así que hago Mangala ārātika en casa, y a las 5 salgo al Templo, llegando allí a las 6:00 am a cantar, tomar la clase, prasadam y servir. Cumplo con mis regulaciones. Intento seguír el ejemplo de los que llamo mis hermanos que son sus discípulos. Ya que me imSpira su devoción por Śrī Rādhā-Mādhana-Gopāla, Śrīla Prabhupāda y Ud.

Quiero pedirle la misericordia de su refugio formal Mahārāja.

Quiero servirle de una manera formal y no fluctuante como lo he hecho tantos años sin un contacto real.

Espero pueda darme su misericordia sin causa Mahārāja y me indique cómo puedo servirle de una forma correcta. Madre Asthasakhi me indico hablar con las Autoridades del Templo; ya me contacte con Prabhu Vanamali. Ahora soy muy feliz por poderle escribir.

Grácias por todo su esfuerzo y amor por las Jīvas de Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

Gracias por cambiar mi vida con la suya.

Que Śrī Kṛṣṇa le siga llenando de Luz y que Śrī Hanumān le de su fuerza y amor por Sītā Rāma Su Santidad.

Su Sirviente vida tras vida

Dandavats, Praṇāmas Mahārāja, I hope your Health is good,

HpS - ASA - Our health, body energy is . . Plfffstp, unless we chant HK/HR!

I am very happy to contact you, My name is Edgar Manuel Escamilla Zamarrón, I belong to the ISKCON Cdmx community, I am a Clown and that is why Devotees know me as Kazzymiro, I have been able to celebrate with you his Viasapuja on two occasions, at Jagatha Bando dāsa's house in artistic works, as well as with Anirudha Prabhu and Aristasena Prabhu when I was doing the Gurvkula.

I had never encouraged myself to approach you because of excessive respect and attachment to my anarthas.

I have been doing the Puja to Srila Prabhupada and you for about 3 years at 4 in the morning, I have been singing my 16 rounds for 2 years and I try to go frequently to Mangala ārātika to the temple (2 or 3 times a week) although I tend to sing Rounds with Tulasī Mahārāni since the metro opens at 5, so I do Mangala ārātika at home, and at 5 I leave for the Temple, arriving there at 6:00 am to chant, take the class, prasadam and serve.

I comply with my regulations.

I try to follow the example of those I call my brothers who are his disciples. Since I am inspired by your devotion to Śrī Rādhā-Mādhana-Gopāla, Śrīla Prabhupāda and you.

I want to ask for the mercy of formal refuge from him Mahārāja.

I want to serve you in a formal and non-fluctuating way as I have done for so many years without real contact.

I hope you can give me your causeless mercy Mahārāja and tell me how I can serve you correctly. Mother Asthasakhi told me to speak to the Temple Authorities; I already contacted Prabhu Vanamali. Now I am very happy to be able to write to you.

Thank you for all his efforts and love for the Jīvas of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

Thank you for changing my life with yours.

May Śrī Kṛṣṇa continue to fill you with Light and may Śrī Hanumān give you his strength and love for Sītā Rāma, his Holiness.

The Servant life after life

All Glories to the Devotees

HpS - Wonderful. Your progress cannot be stopped. Formal initiation is guaranteed as you are following Srila Prabhuapada's process so well. You will wake up more and more to your intimate position.

Mostly we are not acting Parampara as ISKCON Diksa guru now. We are too old. Can't handle the Karma.

We like how Yadunandana Swami is giving initiations.

He is nice person.

I think Asta sakhi Devi Dasi and others might put you in touch with him.

You could go to Spain and become a Spanish clown.

Always your servant.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva!!!

PAMHO AGTSP

I want to send you again my offering to you that I wrote for your most recent Vyasapuja, because I know that those days you were very busy and perhaps you could not read it, I send it to you again and this time also as an offering to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you very much for everything, Gurudeva, please accept my respecftul obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Your aspiring servant,

Carlos Rold

POETRY/POESÍA (OFFERING TO YOUR VYASAPUJA):

TRANSLATION:

I see Your gaze in the cosmic ocean

I see Your magic in every second

I live in the nostalgia of wanting to return to Your world

and You keep me here

to connect with the high and the deep

and the stars will explode

thus all worlds will be born

and the suns spin endlessly

through parallel universes

the orbits that emanate from You

appear and disappear without restraint

from Your pores are projected

all the energies that I contemplate

of Your words, all sacred,

the Maha Mantra is my prayer and my temple

of Your writings, all eternal,

Srila Prabhupada's are my commandments

of Your pure devotees, all my masters,

Gurudeva is my full shelter

of Your games, all beautiful,

those You play with me make me perplexed

of Your songs, all teachings,

the Bhagavad-Gita is the supreme poem

of Your breaths, all pure,

in which I'm now I feel safe and calm

of Your images, all powerful,

the ones You send to my heart are my destiny

You are the witness

that has always been with me

the best friend

the eternal supreme

that paves my way

I don't want anything else

just to stay with You

I perceive Your remembrance

through the time I follow You

and with the wind I look at You

at every instant I think of You

ORIGINAL:

Veo Tu mirada en el océano cósmico

veo Tu magia en cada segundo

vivo en la nostalgia de querer volver a Tu mundo

y me mantienes acá

para conectar con lo profundo

y las estrellas explotarán

así nacerán todos los mundos

y los soles giran sin parar

por los universos paralelos

las órbitas que de Ti emanan

aparecen y desaparecen sin freno

de Tus poros se proyectan

todas las energías que contemplo

de Tus palabras, todas sagradas,

el Maha Mantra es mi oración y mi templo

de Tus escrituras, todas eternas,

las de Srila Prabhupada son mis mandamientos

de Tus devotos puros, todos mis maestros,

Gurudeva es mi refugio pleno

de Tus juegos, todos hermosos,

los que juegas conmigo me dejan perplejo

de Tus canciones, todas enseñanzas,

el Bhagavad-Gita es el poema supremo

de Tus respiraciones, todas puras,

en la que estoy ahora me siento seguro y tranquilo

de Tus imágenes, todas poderosas,

las que al corazón me envías son mi destino

Tú eres el testigo

que siempre ha estado conmigo

el mejor amigo

el Eterno Supremo

que me allana el camino

no quiero otra cosa

solo quedarme Contigo

Tu recuerdo percibo

a través del tiempo Te sigo

y con el viento Te miro

en todo instante Te pienso

HpS - Your poem seems hard to translate. Also seems that it needs amplification. so much concentrated personal experience.

Thank you!!!

You have a lot to do!

Maybe we only begin our service in this life and then take it up again, together in our next life in another universe with Lord Caitanya!!!

Do esoteric Kirtan.
