Letters to the editor

PAMHO AGTSP My dear guru maharaja: I had the opportunity to go to Govardhan for the Seminar of Sacinanda Maharaja some days ago and I met Prasanta Mataji, who is the person who manages the VIHE in Vrndavan. I told her that you would be here next march and about the possibility of imparting a seminar at that time, she was very interested since they are imparting now the Bhakti Vaibhava course and told me it would be very good if you could give a summary or a seminar about this Bhakti Vaibhava. She asked me to call her as soon as I have the exact date in which you will be here and also if you are willing to impart this seminar. On the other hand, Radha Carana and Cakori Radha are trying to contact Janardhana prabhu to also see the possibility of a seminar in the temple, maybe in the Balarama Hall instead of the one in VIHE. So please let us know what would you prefer to do and your schedule here, if you have already any, so we can help you somehow to organize a nice visit to Vraja next march. Hoping to serve you soon Your (trying to be humble) servant Tungavidya devi dasi.

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP  paoho...   We have been working so hard to try to adjust this India calendar. We saw your letter and have been waiting a little to try to fix things. Can you see the suggested calendar that we just posted?   We will talk with Rama-giridhari tomorrow and write to Manipur right now to try to get their opinions fixed.
We want to do this within this week.

As it stands we would be in Delhi on 19th and 2oth of Feb. Maybe we could go to Vraja then. Then on the 21st we have to go to Calcutta/Mayapura for the ILS meetings.  After that maybe Manipur and Calcutta with Prof., then Bombay side and back to Delhi Friday 25th.  We could go directly to Vraja, then return to Delhi 29th. Our flight is late night 29th.

That is just four days in Vraja. We could do some seminars, no?  Make a day trip to Govardhana.

Sounds O.K?

Next visit maybe we can focus on Vraja.

Hare Krsna.

AGTSP   paoho....   This India travel is a little hard because really the only fixed program is the ILS meeting in Mayapura from 24 Feb - 2 March.

So here is our proposal:

18th Arrive Delhi

21st Sunday - Fly to Calcutta.

22nd Monday - Hazar Duari to Mayapura

24th - 2nd - Mayapura: ILS, GBC, Meet the Vaisnavas.

+++++   Dr. Samaresh, Manipur (?),

18th, Friday - Kokata to Bombay (Harsh, Rama-giridhari, Giridhari Gopal??)

25th, Friday - BBY > Del (Delhi Temple, Vrndavana.. ?)

29th, Tuesday, Go to airport, flight 3oth at 2.30AM > Amsterdam.

O.K???? 

hare krsna mahraj, pamho, agtsp,

hope all is good at your end..

my mail does not bring any good news as compared to other bloggers in the blog, where they are contributing to sankirtana....!!! i am here are struggling to be just sane man  and do little bit sadhana...
i have written urgent because right now i can not control "urge of mind to get angry or get deluded".

i remember many times you said one should take ashrama that helps one hearing anc chnating.. sorry i messed up here.

you r focus have been on 1. good enth rounds 2. four rules 3. morn prog 4. eve prog.

fo this is is essential by 530  mangl arti is important. then 2 hours of chanting and then reading..

here are some details
the situtaion at my home is topsy turvy my child sleeps by 11pm.  so i am forced to sleep after that.. i get up by 4  some how manage mangal arti.
an after i try my rounds, but mostli doze off.. pill buster says i need more rest esp my mind.  result of which is that my mind is not realxed i tend to enter fight / flight mode.

and whenver i miss my morn prg , miss offering deities, miss my my rounds.... my mind becomes more and more disturbed and gradually
uncontrolled. ..pill buster is again again telling me not focu on such rituals its not practical in my casesuch disturbance increases my irritation day to day basis, eventually lead to fault finding  dis satisfaction...
can you tell me the reason (folly/ actual) my mind is becoming disturbed ?

i know you  are not right person to solve this problem because of ur ashrama.  but u r the person whose instruction i strive to follow whatever small i can..
 

HpS - AGTSP!     paoho....    You are one of the most determined people I know. It is always an honor to associate with you.

The problem I have in answering with details is that I don't know the details. I don't see your daily life with family, associates, city life.

Are you in communication with Nitai-gaurasundara Das?  He was happy to make some suggestions for medication if your psychiatrist was of accord.

The advice from the psychiatrist I cannot judge. NGD himself is director of a psychiatric hospital, father of three successful kids and an Indian and a devotee. His advice to me about stomach, heart etc. has always been very good. If he doesn't know, he says he doesn't know.

Call him on the phone?!

Besides that, it is obvious that as soon as the sun gets up the banks, businesses open, mode of passion results. Then bars, clubs, open as the sun goes down. So mode of goodness is early in the morning.

Take advantage of it as you can. Get sufficient sleep. Be sure that Krsna will not punish you for chanting Hare Krsna during Brahma muhurta. Take a nap later. B-muhurta is hour and half before sunrise, not any fixed clock time. It is naturally peaceful time, no?   It finishes with sunrise and beautiful sky.

Nap, nap, nap.

This is our Parampara advice and personal experience. Ben Franklin said the same. Son's habits can be changed, no? Wake him up so that he is naturally tired a little earlier.

Not too many rituals. Little respect for Deity, picture of Krsna, takes 3-minutes. Japa can be spread out during day. Reading, singing, what you like or feel important during B-muhurta.

O.K????    Talk with NGDas.    Stay in touch here.    Can you take a good nap during the day???

We are just about to buy the India tickets. We some struggle with the India x USA ticket because Jet changed their hub in Europe!

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Thank you for your council, you may do with me as you like. I may pour out my heart and mind to you, but I gladly accept your decision. No success could come without your sanction.

Someone once said "It's not who we think we are that limits us, but who we think we're not." I used to have to take medicine for this anxiety; Brghupati prabhu would stomp my foot when I'd freeze. In comparison, I ranked #50 worldwide this year. I haven't had my breakthrough yet, but miracles do happen and with your help I hope one will.

In the meantime I'm meditating on the illiterate Brahmina, Ramacandra's ant, and Sitadevi. Know that my intention is not to reduce my service but to expand it. I'd like to compete transcendentally with my godbrothers who are maharathis, but I feel a bit discouraged because whereas they are dovetailing amazing talents to distribute books, I'm kind of going against the grain. I vowed that book distribution will remain the cornerstone of my life; I'm just considering ways to build on it. Krsna has a perfect plan for me, just trying to get there. How fortunate I don't have to do it on my own! Thank you very much.

(I'm here with H.G. Etasa Krsna prabhu, looking forward to an interview!)

Your humble servant,

Bhakta Eric

P.S.

Maybe You'll see me in Mayapur!

Hare krisna PAMHO AGTSP
