Letters to the editor

Haré krsna!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to sankirtana movement of Caitanya.

All glories to your lotus feet Gurudeva [Lettuce feet, AgtSP], thank you for always showing us with your example that everyone who takes sincere shelter of the Holy name can keep on his service to the spiritual master and also help others to reach that platform.

We have a lot of mercy from the devotees here, last month we received H.H. Dhanvantari Swami, many guest came to see and hear Maharaja, I spoke with him a little bit with him, he told me I have to work more on my self-esteem! Any advice there?

HpS - ASA - I think he gives good advice. Basic principle is self-realization. As we become more Krsna conscious, we become more self conscious and then we can have an accurate estimate of our body, mind and soul!

Also last week Hanuman Prabhu came to Queretaro, he stayed for the weekend and said that he was very happy that finally there are more places to visit in this country; many many guest came to hear the preaching of Hanuman Prabhu. I really try to keep up to the ritm with all our programs here in the preaching center and restaurant, even though I think I would ask for 26 hours day je je. I have to recognize that this last month i haven't read enough for my personal reading, and further more, the last days I haven't had enough space to complete all my rounds, even if I try to chant at every free moment, even without attention, I just don't get them done.

HpS - "sraddha sabde...". Look for this verse cited in NoI and then look for the context and purports in the original location. If you chant 16-nice rounds ALL you other service and sense gratification will improve in the maximum possible way. Get up early and get your rounds done!

Gurudeva please pray for me so I can detach from sense gratification at least enough time to get my rounds done. Your always aspiring to disciple Krsna-kirtana Dasa

HpS - Hey!   To be our "Disciple" you gotta follow our discipline. It has some advantages, like getting our rounds done and 4-principles etc. but also must be a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, follow his disicipline. He is the Acharya for all of us, no?

AGTSP !!

Please accept my humble obeisances

Dear Maharaja

We are so grateful for this digital link with you, it keeps us going with full faith and confidence in Srila Prabhupada's sankirtan.

HpS - ASA -   AgtSP!...    Thank you for your criticism. It helps us enormously to know what services are valuable.

We are chanting 16 & +   rounds daily,  we realized (finally)  16 is just the minimun,  so always go for more hopefully one day reaching 24 or 32 ..following in your footsteps. Trying to take your Vani as far as we can in our poor condition.  We shaved our head and left big sika,  we are accepting our identity as a Vaisnava monk,  the only identity that really matters, the essential identity...took us so long but here are with your mercy and all Vaisnavas.  Our service to the Temple is mainly through the Bramachari ashram,  harinama, programs, etc  we had a very inspiring and full of service Montreal Rathayatra and very blissfull and instructive Toronto Rathayatra.

ASA - Devotees went the the Toronto Rathyatra and brought some Mahaprasad for us. They were very stimulated by the festival.

Played the bansuri for the sunday school presentation of Ramayana !!  ki jay !!   Hanuman and the army of monkeys, like 29 kids, storming the stage from everywere!  To fight Ravana's army !  Blissful, transcendentally joyful!

We are still hoping to receive harinama iniciation from you Maharaja,  we pray and pray and hope the letter of recommendation will finally come.  Then our life as a Vaisnava monk will be complete and ready to take off further.      The grounding you recommended is always our base camp. 

your aspiring servant

HpS - We are just rough servants in the link. The Diksa comes from Krsna, through our Sampradaya Acharyas. We are just acting under Srila Prabhupada's shelter as we understand he wants us to do. You should also be a link in the chain. 'Yare dekhe...', wheverver you go just tell people about Krsna based up BG, SB ....

May you Sankirtan potency increase and increase!

Espero que se encuentre bien de salud cuando reciba este mensaje. Nosotros por aquí seguimos tratando de volvernos devotos algún dia. El mes de Julio he cogido vacaciones y hemos visitado Radhadesh (8dias). Ha sido una experiencia muy bonita. Los devotos nos han tratado con mucho cariño y el lugar es muy bonito. Tambien hemos aprovechado para hacer otras actividades; Nimai y yo hemos hecho kayak y, por las tardes ibamos todos  a bañarnos a la piscina y al rio con otros devotos del lugar, ya que hacía mucho calor. Despues hemos estado estado 9 dias con el equipo de sankirtan de Avesa Rupa y Adiras. Purnamasi y los niños estan ahora en NVrajamandala haciendo un "Campamento de Verano" y cuando termine se van a otro en Navalakunda.

En cuanto a los permisos para construir en Navalakunda,  despues de 3 largos años acabamos de pasar la peor fase (El Impacto Medioambiental). Espero que antes de acabe el año podamos empezar la construcción del edificio.

ASA - Oooof! Hace mucho tiempo.

Sigo leyendo algunas cartas del blog, lo que me permite asociarme con usted de forma indirecta.

Gracias por el buen servicio que está prestando a Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON y a la Comunidad de devotos.

Sin mas se despide

Please accept my most humble obeisance to your holy lotus feet.

ASA - Lettuce feet.

Dear Guru Maharaja:

How are you?

HpS - ASA - Aaaaaaaaaa!   Drowning in this ISKCON Sankirtan!

4 principles ok, and 16 rounds and improving!! :)

HpS - Krsna never instructs anything impractical. All your desires will be fulfilled if you work on these two things as central.

We start a monthly program in my neighborhood of KIRTAN, I has mention to you about that, it's in a Yoga center. The last week was the first one and 5 new people has come, they was so inspire, chant holy names, take prasadam and we talk shortly with them, distribute books, was so great, PREACH IS THE ESSENCE (Jay SP!!!) photos attached. Really auspicios in Purusottama these people can chant!! Kirtan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=53&v=QafDDcu87NY (short video)

HpS - Teach them to dance, clap!

This week I have my Bhakti Sastri Exam 1st module. BG. OH KRSNA!

HpS - Kuruksetra, dharmaksetra!

Next month I start again to give the course "The Spiritual Scientist" with 2 great  Senior devotees. I'm so happy because of that.

HpS - "Give"?  You teach???

My job in the architectural estudio is well, I bring Maha Prasadam always I can, and they get mad! They love it!!! :D (some of them...)

Please bless me to be intelligent in choose always the better option for developing myself in KC. Protect me from myself and my selfish desires, with your blessing I can transcend my false ego. Any effort I make any goal I "get" is because of you, eternally thankful. I cannot express my gratefulness with words.

who always want to improve, your eternal SERVANT.
