Letters to the editor

 Respected Maharaja:

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Nrsimhadeva.

On your most auspicious Vyasapuja day, it is very heart warming to think of your grace and greatness.

    HpS - AGTSP!  Paoho. It is very kind of you to see much of any worth in us.

This last year has been quite stressful in Boise. The year before we were served with condemnation notice on the land next to the temple by the University- A great example of - Samsara Davanala lidha loka; out of the blue (sky) came this notice that we should hand over the land to the University. As we struggled finding a lawyer etc. you called us in your caring mood wanting to know how are things in Boise. And I recounted to you what was happening and wanted to know why Bankebihari was doing this to us. You listened very patiently and jovially said, Oh, Bankebihari is playing Monopoly. Everything will be alright.

At that time, it did  not appear to me that you realized the severity of the situation and you were just making light of the situation. But over time that was exactly what Bankebihari was doing. You as one of His confidential servants knew that.

   HpS - I think that I was just trying to offer some positive attitude to see things. Not any secret knowledge, but how could He not do well for those who sacrifice so much for Him and of course He is a GREAT joker!

It was just that I was having a hard time believing it - Why would He play Monopoly at the expense of a neophyte devotee's peace of mind?

HpS - Maybe because He does not want a "piece" of your mind, but He wants the whole thing. Krsna was stealing peoples yogurt. He's stealing your dirt.

Over the course of time you would call just when I would be totally confused and depressed, to comfort me. Those calls were very soothing - tranaya  karunya ghana ghanatvam...

In the dry desert of Southwest Idaho, you have literally been bringing the clouds of mercy and  I am very thankful to you and feel very fortunate for the constant care you have taken care of us.

Maharaja, please bless us on this auspicious Vyasa Puja day of your that we continue to take shelter of exalted Vaishnavas like yourself and get a few drops of mercy from  you.

Your insignificant servant,

Today is the day of my initiation if it´s the desire of Krishna and yours. I would like to thank you very much for accepting me as your disciple and It is my purpose in the future through your instruction to serve Krishna, to serve You, to serve Prabhupada and to serve all the Devotees.

I will give you some mangos to offer to Krishna when you get to Spain :)

Thank you with all my heart.

Your humble servant

Jacobo.

HpS - AGTSP!  Paoho. Only one problem! I think I wrote your new name on the paper you sent to me and mailed it back to Spain but I don't have a copy. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />   We are very fortunate that we have Srila Prabhupada as our leader and not ourselves! What is your new name? Now you have taken another birth, no???

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
All glories to you on your appearance day!

yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasado
   yasyaprasadan na gatih kuto 'pi
dhyayan stuvams tasya yashas trisandhyam
  vande guroh sri-caranaravindam

By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krsna.
Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement.
Therefore, I should always remember and praise the spiritual master.
At least three times a day I should offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master.

For me the mercy of the spiritual master means the words, the instructions, the good advice and the good example of him.
Thank you very much for your kindness, your inspiring words, your blog, your Kapi Dhvaja and your exemplary behaviour!
I hope You will stay with us for a long time.

I wish You all the best in your Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada service.

Your servant,
Sri Radhe devi dasi

HpS - Thank you. AGTSP. paoho. We have eternal home, eternal family, eternal work and as we begin to wake up to that we can all stay with each other eternally. That's a long time. <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" />

Respected Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

Please accept my best wishes/greetings at your 67th Vyas-Pooja festival, fortunate are those people-who would be physically witnessing it.  I must get some mercy from Nitai-Gaur Sundar Prabhu.

It also means that you have spent another year in the service of Guru and Gauranga after your last Vyas-Pooja, so exemplary and even inspiring.  Year after year you are persuing your spiritual life, now a fool like myself have no excuse, you are there like a Light-House, giving guidance to anyone-who wants it.  The thing which I like most about you that you never gave any impractical instruction to your disciples, you always want us to aspire to become a dust particle on the soft feet of Prabhupad through Sankirtan while following four regulative principles rigidly and chanting 16 enthusiastic rounds, So there is no self-interest, just the pure desire to please Srila Prabhupad and Shri Krishna, that's why we love you and ready to execute your orders without any hesitation.

At this most auspicious occassion, I fall flat at your feet and ask for your mercy, please forgive me if I have ever committed any offense. May your glories spread all over along with the glories of Srila Prabhupad, HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - AGTSP!!!  What is happening with the family? We usually say "fallible soldiers" but in your case they may be infallible soldiers, they may help you, everyone escape from their Karma. Why are you going to Mayapura? Shall we visit Australia next year, Noviembre +?

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Todas las Glorias a Usted!!!

Querido Gurudeva:

En este VP quiero ofrecerle mis mas humildes reverencias y mi eterno agradecimiento por inspirarme y guiarme en mi vida espiritual.

HpS - Esperamos ser mensanjeros de Srila Prabhupada!

Tal como lo hace un padre, usted supo ser firme cuando yo lo necesité, cuando la Bruja me estaba ganando la batalla. Sus palabras me shokearon al principio.  Pero inmediatamente me di cuenta que usted tenia razón, que nada es mas importante que la vida espiritual. Que nada sirve si Krisna no está en el centro de todo. Aprendi la lección. Y espero ser un patito que camine siempre cerca de Usted. Porque es Usted quien nos mantiene unidos a la fuente de toda verdad y amor, sri Radha Krisna. Gracias Gurudeva y por favor tengame siempre bajo su refugio. Que Radha Krishna lo colmen de salud y bendiciones.

HpS - !!!!  Muy, muy, muy buena suerte en su Sankirtan. No piensa pequeno resultados.
