Letters to the editor

AGTSP

paoho & bw

Our head ache descends on schedule at 6. Our letters are finished to 3-days remiss. BhVai at 8AM and talking all day, about the end of July conference in Houston, this and that way. 

Is 10-hundred times better with Srivasa Pandita's Nokia 1520, Tandavika Das air conditioned ashrama, good intellectual association of Srinivasa Das and his family...  and three more whom we have erased.

All the ladies should see all the Sannyasis as there sons and take care of them (mentally more than physically) with the direction of their huzbands or grown up sons or brothers. They need that.

NGD has gone for a week of vacation and to join the Doctor's Convention Organized by His Holiness Romapada Swami.

O.K. Rest and some evening Bhajan.

Hare Krsna! Hare Rama!

C u n our heart.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,
i have been following ( like a buffalo) your sankirtans efforts. It has been great that your celibacy and Bhati Yoga, has given you so much stamina and health, that you can vigorously follow/travel over the world.

i know you have been heavily tied up in devotional service.
All the best for July conference.....
 ------------------------------------

i have been focussing on my own nature and how to fit myself in Iskcon.  As I understand ISK is meant for creating Brahmins , deity worship, preaching (sastric studies majorly)....
I see myself definitely have Ksatriya part in me, I like sports, excercise, wrestling, and Raj Dharma...

but as you wrote "If you are really a Ksatriya then take some Karate classes. I would say you are more like a Royal Counselor. So work hard within your nature. Set some goals like that. What will they be tell us some good life goals for a person like you!" in node 4623

we can relate to that we are not Damn passionate, we do have some philosophical bent, and want to train boys (only).We are day by day agreeing that we are more of counsellor than a foot soldier. 

And by God's grace and Karma my whole father side is Ksatriya mentality.
__________________________

so i would be needing your help to set some goals for myself in devotional service of person like me.
-- to quote Urmila Mataji ISK does not entertain Ksatriya these days. Intially brhamanas and sudra were reuqired then in 1990s Vaisaya were involved.

-- I can see that also In India service generally cover --- either Sastric preaching /donation/offer helping hand . (brhaman/vaisya/sudara)
--------------------------------------------
i am myself in to academia but i am not like you or Radhika Raman prabhu or Krishna Ksetra Prabhu. I can not write books or write, but i can read them assimilate them more easily.
___________________
so if i am royale counselor  [a] what services I can taken in ISK
as of now i am focussing on my son as its horoscope says he would be great king or saint (similar thing were said for modi and buddha)>

HpS - ASA ---- Oooof!     It is hard to talk about "ISKCON". It is so, so, so, ....  big and even with such variety. Maybe there is some consistency to the world of GBC ISKCON, but there are so many other ISKCON worlds. To me ISKCON is that society whose Founder and Acharya is Srila Prabhupada. Of course, GBC, Temple President are all apart of this like the shoulders of the elefant, but we may be guys who walk in front of the elefant and guide him buy pulling his ear with a hook.

You do some sports!   Would be good, no?
I would say that you start talking to your father about this. Even tune him in to your interests in ISKCON or similar organizations. Even if you think about doing this it should be powerful stimulation to purify your inteligence.

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
You wrote:

"We work pretty hard. Many, many times we feel that the ambience is dull and we push to raise it, to make the Sankirtan ecstatic."

Please, can you kindly tell the details of how you achieve that. How do you push it?

Also, you wrote that you are subjected to emotional attacks. What does that mean and how you deal with them?

Thank you very much <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Your servant Namacarya das

HpS - AGTSP.  paoho.   AMBIENCE TO ECSTACY: Just increase the amount, intensity and intellectual quality of the ambient sound. Some Sunday feast lecture, you go on for 20-minutes and ask for questions and there are none. Then you go on with more effort for 20 more minutes, then 20 more and then people begin to hear what you are saying and how it relates to them and they ask questions, make comments, think, feel that they want to do something.

We have to listen to whatever life, enthusiasm, passion people have and then relate to that. That may take years.

Emotional attacks: Usually our stomach is exhausted or our waist. We become "depressed". The energy goes down. Our thoughts follow the Prana. We want to eat for our stomach, not for our heart. Our future (of eating and honor) looks dark. Usually we can just force a smile on our face and immediately we "feel" happy enthusiastic. It is that shallow, our sadness and happiness. .. but the atificial "bump" is supported by good intelligence from the years of Sastric contact and so it isnt dealt with sarcastically by the mind.

Smile... "We can be HAPPY!"

Mind, cynical, "Yeah, sure, give me one good reason".

For the Vikarmis there are no good reasons, but an ISKCON Brahmana has so many reasons from the Krsna book. The biggest depression is death, no? We have to go deeper and deeper in our energy sources.

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja

Please, accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

With regard to the organization of the academic part of the event everything it is running very well. There is expectation and enthusiasm on the part of devotees  and authorities are letting us work in peace. For the activity of the workshops we will use a model of a little more dynamic than the usual, I hope that devotees find it interesting and that everything goes well in this regard. The logistics are also working out well, we have some problems with funding but I am sure that everything will resolve satisfactorily.

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP.  paoho... I just talked with Nitai-gaura-sundara Das and he said that he answered LAD's budget proposal and thought it was very nice. I have to look at his letter. It seems that there are so few good things in this world that if we do something even half way good we can get support!

Leaving aside the event, we still planning some major changes for the second half of th year. It's time to grow and become more professional, I have many questions for you, and we will talk in person. For now, that's the most important Gurudeva. See you very soon.

I say goodbye to you Gurudeva

Querido GM

Pamho

AgtSP

gracias por inspirar mi vida devocional, le comento que intente sacar nuevamente la visa para poder ir al congreso y no me la dieron porque llevo poco tiempo estando estable en un ligar, hace 5 años (porque viajamos  haciendo sankirtan), entonces en definitiva ya no voy,

no puedo entender la miscericordia de Krsna pues tenia mucho deseo de cumplir su intruccion y poder ir a Houston pero Krsna es el supremo controlador.

HpS - Pero nos vemos pronto en Mexico!

...mi sadhana  va bn GM este mes es un nectar (ciertas austeridades para glorificar a Purusotama masa), el sankiran va muy bien y la vida en el templo tambien .

no tengo nada q ofrecerle mas q lo que ud me da GM nada es de mi pertenencia, porfavor permitame honrar apropiadamente a todas las entidades vivientes, solo asi podre cantar puramente el saanto nombre.

su insignificante sirviente.

Vrajendra Kumara Dasa

HpS - Somos carteros para Srila Prabhupada!!!      Krsna es el luz del sol, la briza entre los purficadores. Esta ambiente, forma universal, es buen atmosphere para japa, sankirtan!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances

HpS - Que pasa con el gran abogado, Senor Bharata!!!  Y su Madre y Padre. Tiene plan adelantar a Sannyasa, tomando cargo de sus propio alumnos???

 The big lawyer Bharata is ok, yesterday I visited him, we spoke about history , Krishna conciousness, psicology, He chant some rounds and take only Prasad, I told Him that You asked for Him, an He show to be Happy,He is studing a lot, only ten matter for finish, now he get the intermidiate title, and nex year is posible Him work in diferent area, Education,and  others. I find  for Him two astrological letter, because he is very nice person and very sensitive, He have very deep vision, but need more knowledge about Him, Guna and Karma for reevalution the future and the present.

Mather and Father, they ok, both are taking care of their body,and help all family, with apr

And I am thinking different things, Ok Sannyasa!!!!, this is very deep point, I decide to keep Brahmacari for life,I am happy in this life,I want to have more control over my mind, because I need to be more deep, I am now very external, I´m not a Gosvami for the moment, because my chant is nama bhasa and nama apaRadha,I`m try to develop more interes.I'm trying to get me more inside me and cultivate more time to meditation and prayer to Krishna, while meeting many difficulties that the external power leads me outside and takes different forms and is attracted by different things, impulses speech and tongue (taste) are actually very difficult to control, I think this is where I grow, this race is exciting. Here I have very good friends, here there are many young brahmacaris, and very intelligent, and a very nice atmosphere.

I think, yes Sannyasa but I need grow, I need more service and study, and I need to back realy smart not only seem. In the temple I see devotees very smart, very deep and pure, maybe all this is probably because I have very nice association.

What do You  think is the most important thing in sannyasa life?, How do you think I can achieve this gol? 

Please, pray for My

Thanks for all

HpS - AGTSP. paoho. We just wrote for 10-minutes and lost everything!       Your English is very nice!!!     We read everything and are taking it all to heart. Thank you.

Your plan of work seems very nice for preparation for Sannyasa.

Sannyasa is good example for others.
I think our Sannyasis should be less and less involved in management work and the Grhasthas should take that over. It is good because there is a final vow not to engaged in joking conversations with a wife and embraces in solitary places.

Sannyasis should be the leaders of society, free like the white clouds, inspiring adminstrators with good advice, essential advice. Travel all over the world and give atma-jnana to everyone.

Please send some news about Guna-grahi Swami after a few days, next fortnight!
