Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Please accept my obeisances.

we always think that what should we write . Then we are reminded Brothers Ass might have eye pain/head ache. HpS has anyway given a lot for lifetimes.

but are seeing that many letters are getting, finally we decided to write as formality

so now we are struggling to cook by ourselves

ASA - 👍

and due to which the body is not able to withstand long hours and it is erratic. four rules are intact for 16 rounds are some how are going.

somehow managing our job in the litigation process hearing the Vrindavan Sadhu a lot because we have lost sort of reading ability and the concentration for it as of now. Thanks for being there.

HpS - Thank you!!! Do hope that you are experiencing real tangible results from all this effort. As long as we are chanting "Hare Krsna" we are making progress. So, you must have made progress!

It builds up.

We do become happy.

Sadhu is speaking in Hindi?

Go you your next letter.

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Jay Srila Prabhupada!

I hope this finds you well.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! 12.08AM here in ISKCON RichMond (Mound), Virginia.

"This body does not get diseases, body is a disease", SPawhh.

Thank you.

Regular eye, ear, throat, mind and now heart problems, but especially allergy reaction.

😃

Yet, we have your association!👍👍👍

I would like to get your guidance: I go to bed at 8.30pm every day and try to wake up at 3am, but I wake up at 1.30am or 2am (don’t need more sleep) so I sleep 4h30min-5h daily.

Is this unhealthy for the body (to sleep 4h30m) in a long term?

Thank you.

Your servant,

Bhadra Rupa das

HpS - Thank you for posting this here. I am sure that many more people are interested in this topic.

We are hardly authorities in this area but we can make our little, little, comment:

1. Our doctor, NgD Prabhu, always suggests long enough period of continuous rest. Guess you and I got that with at least 4-hours of rest at night.
2. Prabhupada says that the real, Rupa Goswami, standard is one (or two) hours a day with Snaps (short naps). Of course, he also says that we (most of us) are not Rupa Goswami, and as far as I know, Srila Prabhupada said that he was sleeping maybe four hours each day, and at most five.
3. In BG Srila Prabhupada says that anyone who sleeps more than six hours a day is influenced by the mode of ignorance. In a Room Conversation H. H. Tamal krsna Goswami criticizes a devotee for sleeping more than six hours a day, but Srila Prabhupada criticizes his criticism by say, "What does it matter if he does twice as much work as you while he is awake!"
4. Finally this leads us to the distinction that we must sleep more if we are engaged in hard physical (or mental?) labor. We remember Srila Prabhupada saying (wrsp) that you should sleep for 8-hours before long term driving. Also, medically, your body repairs all the little tears to the muscle tissues etc. while you are sleeping. It is like all the city repair and cleaning crews going to work while the city sleeps. so, if you are engaged in physically stressful activity (like travel) then your body would need good time to repair itself.

O.K.?

[12/4, 1:27 AM] Tungavidya Devi Dasi: This is Tungavidya and Aindavi. Here Aindavi speaking- 

Gurudeva, I'm leaving today Radhakund going back to Houston. It's been a wonderful enlightin time here. During the past 3 months I've been doing seva for Giriraj at the sangam (a flower mala everyday) and doing seva for Giriraj at Tungavidya mataji's house. I have become very attached to Him. I have visited some Vrajavasi sadhu's house and they have told me that they can give me one Govardhana Shila only if I get the permission of my gurudeva. So here I'm asking for your permission, please let me know if it's possible.

[12/4, 1:28 AM] Tungavidya Devi Dasi: I'm begging for your causeless mercy to worship Govardhan 🙏

HpS-ASA - AgtSP, first serve Giriraja in Nila-madhava Dhama as you are serving Him now.

Then get His permission to serve Him directly.
