Letters to the editor

As I told you on Skype, I am back and safe in Radhakunda. Thanks to Radharani's krpa and your causeless mercy for this fallen soul, I got the letter from Iskcon Vrndavan, Panca Goura Prabhu [is Pancha-gauda, no?  Madhya 18.134] was very kind with me, so I went to Philippines and Radha Madhava, the gorgeous deities in the temple, gave me shelter for the 15 days I was there. At the beginning they asked me for a recommendation letter from you, but when I started doing seva they said it was not necessary anymore. All devotees were very kind and even one devotee working as the secretary of the counsel in Indian embassy helped me a lot to get the new visa. Now I am back here in Radhakunda, just arrived two days ago and I am trying to retake my seva cleaning Radhakunda and here at home working for our Radha-Kunja Bihari.

Yesterday, I had to run to Vrndavan to help Radha Caran with the second initiation process since she entered in a fire suddenly and I told her how to chant the gayatri mantra as you asked me to do.

My dear guru maharaja, once again I want to thank you for all your help and causeless mercy. Your (trying to be humble) servant Tungavidya devi dasi

HpS - ASA --- You are so, so, so lucky.  Living on the banks of Radha-kunda constitutes the highest perfection of life. It is a perfection even great sages like the four Kumaras and Narada Muni cannot achieve. Of course, there is the Bhauma Radha kunda we see with our litle, Sadhana-bhakta eyes, but it can be such a nice step toward the Radha-kunda that the Brija Vasis see.

Nectarean Glories of Sri Vrndavana-dhama
by Srila Prabodhananda Sarasvati Thakura
(Translated by Kusakratha Dasa)

Sataka One. 1
1 Meditating on the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Muralimanohara, placing myself at the dust of Lord Caitanya’s feet, and respectfully offering obeisances to the great devotees of the Lord, who are so many oceans of transcendental virtue, I shall now happily begin to praise the transcendental opulences of Sri Vrndavana.

2 I am not strong enough to go to the far shore of the great nectar ocean of Vrndavana’s glories. Who can go there? However, because I love Vrndavana I will now dip into that ocean. I pray that this endeavor may become successful and bring an auspicious result.

3 O Sri Vrndavana, please reveal in my heart Your wonderful transcendental form full of the most confidential spiritual knowledge and bliss. Embarrassed to describe the highest nectar, the Upanisads only say “not this, not this”. Where are you described?

4 Day and night I glorify Vrndavana, which is filled with the wonder of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna’s pastimes, the wonder of the greatest sweetness, the ultimate nectar of Lord Hari, the sweetest, most beautiful auspiciousness and a flood of virtues Ananta-sesa, Siva, and a host of others cannot cross.

5 Think of Vrndavana with love. Roll in its dust. Love it ardently. Please its moving and non moving residents. Worship Sri Radha’s birthplace. With all your heart take shelter of Sri Vrndavana, the best of all holy places.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, All glories to Srila Prabhupada

HpS - Who are like three of the other principal participants?  Who are they?

Goura Purnima (pancagaura prabhu's wife), [Is that Pancha-gauda or Pancha-gaura. President?],  Kusha (head community center), Mukhunda Datta prabhu's wife (head Pujari).  We have a meeting tomorrow with Bhurijan Prabhu, to try to put some "guide line" and see the point of view of senior devotees.

There are so many nice devotees, so many. Thank you for your replay. Hare Krsna!

HpS - ASA - Thank you.  What is the Community Center?  Do theses three devotees have kids they want to educate in the school?

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

HpS - ASA ---   O.K. See you Saturday night!   Then we will present Bhismadeva's prayers and Topics in the first two cantos and record it and send the link!

May you get a three month contract with the University, with an approved leave-of-absence where you can make $51,000 doing what you like to do, and then not have to work for a year or two.

Just back from Raleigh: Rathayatra, Sunday Festival, College Program, Meeting with 250-devotees.

Ticket​ was $236 and got $536 in donations for HpS and NIOS.

Sun has just set on our little office. Is DARK.  NGD just called. He is home. We go see him now.

Our eyes are getting pretty tired.  Much do less computer.

We become depressed when we don't see success for Krsna's plans.   That is Maya!!!!       Krsna has successful plans. We just have to be in touch with them.   That can only happen in the mode of goodness with Japa!

O.K.  Letters answered to 3-days.  No URGENT mail.

Who knows what adventure Krsna has for us just outside our door!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP

PAMHO

It is very nice to have iur daily association .. sometimes we even crawl for managala artik!

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!  Nice to have yours and the others!     Are you presenting Draupadi on Saturday morning?

Gurudeva.. the authorities from wilson sent me more than 5 emails asking me to be the head pujari again.. I think and think ask 6 brahmanas.. I did not ask U because on that time U said that it is time for us to grow up. I accept.. but I asked them for 2 weeks.. In order to see how can I help, etc

HpS - ASA -- Good decision!

It is a pity GM if I am sincere I am really discouraged. Wilson is old dirty and it is really frustrating even if I clean and clean... It is never clean enough...  as u said admimistration here is a mess..many fancy jewels that I bought are lost

HpS - It is a mess here too.   I heard from Prabhupada's lips that...  [remember?].....  There are problems in our Temples.

<img alt="sad" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png" title="sad" width="23" />. devotees do not want to do practical,service.. then i think in which way I am helping to the sankirtan movement.

I remembered The Loft it was neat and clean... I really miss that... Anyway I had the idea to celebrate Ramvijaya in wilson. M Ganga has Sita Rama Laksman Hanuman deities so we are going to perform an abhishek, a little program in order to inspire us and inspire the devotees... I am going to give the class.

HpS - Some times we serve in Hell, sometimes we serve in Mahar-loka.  We just serve and then Krsna will put good intelligence right in front of our face what to do!   Don't leave, don't deviate!

In Chosik the celebration is going to be on Sunday.. I will help doimg the flower dress for GN.. is going to be a contest... 

We already bought our tickets to chile ...VP for U and all the Guruparampara... just one week.. we are not goimg to bs as because we are working until the end of January

This is our report. 

Trying to be iur disciple

Cmdd

HpS - Please stick in there for six years like this and as far as I know your return to Goloka dhama is guaranteed.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a su sankirtana eterno

Hare krsna gurudeva, pamho, gracias por sus palabras directas y claras, ahora entraré en un momento de introspección, voy a tratar de levantarme más temprano y cantar bien mis rondas y meditar más en Srila Prabhupada y usted.

Morir en sankirtana o en un templo sin opción a regresar a mi vida de antes, estudiar y trabajar???

Con respecto al viaje a India me refería que queríamos comprarlo en las fechas del 15 de enero al 01 de febrero del 2016, ir para esas fechas y quedarse unos 3 meses.

La verdad y quiero ser sincera que todo éste tiempo desde que  conocí a P. Gadai hace 6 años, empecé hacer éste servicio  maravilloso del sankirtana viajero, pero mi padre nunca estuvo de acuerdo con que yo viaje y siempre me está reprochando y haciendo sentir mal con sus indiferencias  y pienso que tal vez no soy buena hija para él al desobedecer, mi padre sabia que yo nunca ejersería mi carrera cuando era niña un devoto le dijo, y más aún ahora en mi carta astrólogica  sale la carta de kalamrta donde es muy extremo a la vida espiritual, el karma no me dá para estudiar ni trabajar ni tener familia, porque  en mis resultados últimos del doctor sale que tengo muy debil y pequeñitos los ovarios. Empiezo a preguntar si yo estoy ejerciendo el deber correcto como mujer???

Estoy muy confundida a quien debo seguir a mi esposo o a mi padre o a Krsna????, devotos grjastras presionan en establecerme y mi karma de un hipie viajero no me dá.

Perdóneme gurudeva, me falta mucha convicción para entregarme a Krsna, como ud. dijo a LAD ¿Voy a servir a Dios o el Diablo?

Tratando de entender el servicio más sublime que dejó srila prabhupada

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi. 

HpS - ASA --- Habla con unos personas que conocen la situation. Canta HK/HR bueno, y busca inspiracion personal en los libros de Srila Prabhupada.
