Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, thank you so much. Marking the letter as Urgent as we have only remaining few days of Kartik Month....(2nd initiation).

    1. Regarding this, URL : http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5829

       I am completely ready to do it by telephone in Pune. But have checked with Pune Temple, there will no 'Yagna' (Fire sacrifice),
       in coming days. That's why was heading for Vrndavana Temple.

       Please let me know your input.

    2. Regarding this, URL : http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5830

       Thank you so much for clear sight. i would be very happy to assist "university programs", need next 6 month time to prepare myself
       as currently already in process of a planned preaching Program, so it will take some time to finish. Hope to finish in next 6 months.
       then would fully focus on "university programs".

       What is VAD?......and i am fully ready for preparing for full renunciation, Sannyasa.

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP. paoho... VAD=VaranAshramaDharma

       As you said "Learn how to communicate and preach.", Please guide me about it for better preparation and better result for Prabhupada.

 your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - When will next sacrifice be in Pune?  That would be best time.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, some time, i feel, i should left the material life and go to Vrndavana and live a spiritual life....do sadna, read scriptures.

    As the donkey is getting older of this human life and am loosing days of this human life,......every moment.

    My nature is like a 'Saadak' so like Sadna, reading, deity worship, glorification of lord.  
    but have less knowledge. Need more clarity on what to left, where to go, what to do for
    best utilization of this human life.

    Please let me know if you have any thing for me.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA --- We are trying to develop these university programs with Dr. Samaresha so you can please help with that. In SB 1.17.38, I think, Srila Prabhupada says that girls should be married by 16-years old and boys by 25-years  or take Sannyasa. Of course, that may be in the ideal situation in the future, but in many ways it can be true. If you are doing regular Sadhana for several years, then you begin to see you VAD. O.K. Maybe your should think of staying as a B'cari and preparing for full renunciation, Sannyasa. Of course, Sannyasa is very good as a means to study and read and do austerities to get knowledge to help others. Learn how to communicate and preach.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, Hope you are good in Health and doing good.

    Just to inform you that, probably, i won’t be able to go Vrndavana this Kartik, as i am
    not getting tickets.This means, i won't be able to get 2nd initiation on this Kartik.

    Sadna is going on as usual.

    Please let me know if you have any thing for me.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Why not do it by telephone in Pune? That is your Temple, no?

Here we are, Monkey/Piggy. It is 6.24PM.   We had many adventures today. We read one chapter of "From Good to Great". As suggested by Srinivasa Das, it has many of the same conclusion about successful management tasks as we have. Very useful for us.
Also, Lokannatha Das, our old Puppetteer friend called from San Francisco. He has Parkinson's syndrome now. It is nice. Pushes him off the gross platform.
Daniel and Alysya came to visit from Murari farm, so we talked for our one hour. Lot of little details. Getting ready for the education meetings in Texas. We reviewed our India travel and discovered that we had booked the Nashville, Newark flight backwards, so we had to change it and it cost us $200!   Feeble minded, but also so many details in traveling so much.

That's basically it.  Talk with NGD every night and read world history.

Gaura arati, Krsna book, Kirtan.

Take rest!!

Hare Krsna Maharaja, Pamho.

I´m Budanath, the donkey monkey.

I hope you are very happy and Krishna conscious.

Regarding the origin of Budanath, I'm not quite sure, but I'm wrong but is related to the Boudhanath temple in Kathmandu. .Literally it means "the Lord of knowledge," but I have always understood as "The Lord of Buddha", the Lord of the"enlightened soul", associating to Nityananda, and maybe Lord Siva, because for me, Lord Siva is the mercy of Nityananda projected on the subject.

ASA - Aaaaah!

It is true that I feel inside me a very loving relationship with the Lord Siva, I love, and I feel something very similar with Nityananda-Balarama, although I know Nityananda-Balarama are more sensitive, more secrets. I feel very close to them in some way, so that I think once that is related to them.

Sorry Maharaja, really do not know precisely.

Thank you so much for your answers, are like to meet you on the street.

In this regard I have been thinking a lot these days.

If I am not this body, and life itself is pure energy, as the spark and fire, meet the people you love, the feeling about the soul, the heart, is not a question of space, but nearby loving, energetic. And so I've been trying lately with you ... I have to admit that I who does not move, You seem to be always moving, and that makes me happy.

ASA - Brother Ass is at least 70% Pitta, fire, says our Doctor. Fires always are moving, no?

It gives me happiness prove that one can have a friendship with someone always wherever you are. I meditate on You, and with a little luck you scold me for being with so many mental nonsense. You greets me and shows me your joy at having gone to see You that day. Of course it is not possible without the Holy Names.

I am tired, confused, I know I have to associate with the Holy Names and when I do, meet my friends at the Holy Names.

I know you try to learn me to be a great person, pleasant to the eyes of Krsna, Radharani, Balarama, Srila Prabhupada ... and I appreciate that inspire me to break my mental worlds, and try to set the vision of my mind to really see, to feel from the inside of me, the reality as it is without the projections of my mental problems.

Today I was reciting the Holy Names and dust of mind was cleaning with the vibration of the Holy Names. So you were getting me wondering;

-¿ You finally come today?

- Yes Maharaja, I know I had to come before, my mind entangled me, Maharaja.

- 'Well, yes' You said “The important thing is you're here now”

And You were  explained that this platform of the mind is that determines the fate of death. The strength of our personal desire, now broken by the pure vibration of the holy name, thought materializes in the form of body. But if we do not let that touch, impregnated us with his mystical material power, we return to the source of our life. To the world where Life, God, Vishnu, Krishna is present with us without departing from the fire.

A world of pure life energy, without beginning and without end.

When I am in that state, I can not extend it by effort, but by internal pure desire, For love to not part with those people I love. I guess that's personal. I dream that this vibration open the clouds of my mind and let sunlight pass without interruption before my death, and may come running.

Sorry to dwell much.

Thank you so much Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja to make a fool like me to learn.

At Your shadow Maharaja, Yours, Budanath Das.

SOLARIS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The foremost motive that impels us to make this editorial project a reality is the proposition that as human beings we have the capacity to develop a level of higher consciousness than the predominant paradigm which does not address essential topics such as:  Who am I? What is death? What is the purpose of life? What are higher aspirations for human beings?

We hope to address these themes from this forum.

The vast majority of media in circulation inform only about material comfort, and they morbidly emphasize violence, death and individual and social frustration. Through Solaris we will present reflections that may reveal that such unhappiness is not only caused by social, political, economic and cultural problems, but it is also the reflection of the misfortune of a world in which the mind and heart of the majority of people are sustained only in mundane values and spiritual values are depreciated.

WHY THE NAME?

First, because of its iconographic significance. In every culture the sun has predominantly represented or been connected to life, light and wisdom (it has also been related to fundamental cause, motive or reason). Second, for the algorithmic sense that just as the rotation of the sun indicates that one day has passed and another one is beginning, similarly, in Solaris, we propose taking advantage of the wisdom of the past, so as to not live blindly in the present, and thus build universally a better future. This is, our aim is to rediscover ourselves and try to resolve, with honesty and sustained knowledge, the mystery of where we are going?

In summary, Solaris is proposed as a platform for serious, higher, intense, and profound debate with the goal of purifying us, socially and individually, of destructive attitudes.

Join us, everyone is kindly invited

DECLARACIÓN DE PROPOSITO

El principal motivo que nos anima a convertir este proyecto editorial en una realidad, es la condición que como seres humanos, nosotros tenemos la capacidad de desarrollar un nivel de conciencia más elevado que el paradigma predominante, el cual no se ocupa de tópicos tan esenciales como: ¿Quién soy?, ¿Qué es la muerte?, ¿Cuál es el propósito de la vida?, ¿Cuáles son las aspiraciones más elevadas que pueden alcanzar los seres humanos? Desde esta tribuna esperamos ayudar a explicar estos temas.

La gran mayoría de medios que circulan solo informan del confort material, y, morbosamente enfatizan la violencia, la muerte y las frustraciones sociales e individuales. A través de Solaris presentaremos reflexiones que nos revelarán que toda esa infelicidad no sólo es causada por problemas políticos, sociales y económicos, sino que también es el reflejo de un mundo en el cual la mente y el corazón de la mayoría de las personas se sustentan solo en valores mundanos, menospreciando los valores espirituales. 

¿POR QUÉ EL NOMBRE?

Primero, debido a su significado iconográfico. En las culturas clásicas, el sol ha sido representado o ha estado conectado con la vida, la luz y la sabiduría (se le relaciona como causa motivo o razón).  Segundo, por el sentido algorítmico ya que de la misma forma que la rotación del sol indica que un día ha concluido y otro está por iniciarse, similarmente, en Solaris proponemos tomar ventaja de la sabiduría del pasado, para no vivir ciegamente en el presente y  construir un futuro mejor, es decir, nuestra finalidad es redescubrirnos y tratar de resolver, con honestidad y conocimiento sustentado, el misterio de: ¿a dónde vamos?                                                                                                                                

En síntesis, Solaris tiene como propósito ser una plataforma para el debate serio, alturado, intenso, profundo, con el objetivo de purificarnos de las actitudes protervas tanto individual como socialmente.

Únete a nosotros, todos están cordialmente invitados.
