Letters to the editor

hare krishna Maharaj pamho agtsp.

->because I'm working. the company is called Eurosign; basically my job is to clean.
I Guess I'll leave the temple; I do not know; I want to do other things; pretty service here; and I have no independence.
thank you very much for everything, I hope you do well.

a greeting

Hare Krishna

HpS - AGTSP.  paoho.  Yes, Temple can be good for living arrangement for some times, but another Ashrama may be good for other things, but don't leave the service of ISKCON Temple Deities!!!!!! Devotees (NOI 5).

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Very good with 4 priciples and Sankirtan,

Have to improve a lot in rounds and Fmp,

Adjusted work load, but we realize it is not a matter of time but of being focused. Wandering mind!!

Feeling mental fatigue!! so many responsibilities.

I have no other shelter than the holy name and your divine guidance,

struggling to improve, to develop a pinch of Krisna Consciousness,

At your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari Das.

HpS - ASA --- I am facing the same problems as you. The mind is like a muscle. It only has so much strength and then we have to rest it. At least 16 good rounds and then, Boom,  BOOM,     B O O M, we have very fine intelligence. Lot of work to do. Some major mistakes to correct. Spread KC all over the planet.

Hare Krishna Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I think I'm healing both childhood traumas and previous life ones.

ASA - AGTSP....   Ooof!   Previous animal lives!

The result I'm feeling no Upastha vegam which was my main issue. Following 4P strictly is becoming natural.

HpS - AGTSP. We see that for both men, women and donkeys the Prana goes down sometimes and then we think about sex and eating. If we just sit up straight it removes the violence. Small trick. Removing the deep attachment takes more no?

Utsaha is increasing little by little.

I'm going to study sastra along with Harsh Pradan prabhu, we talk often via skype, I like his association a lot.

ASA - Soon he will be Dr. Pradhan.

We are in Chapter 12 in the Bg course i'm giving. how wonderful is to have the Krisna book to meditate on, Smaranam...

At your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - There is other letter by you. We will read it. We are few days behind on the mail because of this Rathaytra schedule in Boise. Hare Krsna. We can act with enthusiasm, not worrying too much about the Calendar, because Krsna will train our time much better than us. We hope The Manu and The Benjamin are O.K!

KRSNA book with the big letters, 13.5pts is super great. Even if we just read it all the time there is no loss!!!

AGTSP

paoho

We just updated our www.jayarama.us/archives/tpp-iso.docx file with a NOI/ISO Module Review at the end of the file.

Enjoyyyyy (serving Radha-Krsna)

Dear Guru Maharaj,

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

Thank you for your generous response and advice last time. Since no alternative accommodation worked out for Houston, I will be heading back to DC but after attending The Sanga Initiative (TSI) youth retreat. At the end, I guess Krishna was trying to teach me about appreciating what I have. Even though my parents drive me nuts, I’ve realized they always supported and encouraged my sadhana. I definitely took it for granted.

In regards to the earlier letter about the initial disciple request—I can definitely address the sadhana requirements below. I completely understand and agree about the formalities- as I do not want to make any mistakes with this relationship (which are inevitable because I am so klutzy, so sincere apologies in advance). The formal letter from authorities is on its way in cyberspace!

1. Have you been able to chant at least sixteen good rounds daily the whole year? Yes—to the best of my ability. Quantity wise yes, quality is still shaky.

1. Similarly, have you been able to follow the four regulative principles strictly? Yes. Very strictly

1. Have you been rising regularly by 4AM and attending Mangala-arati, Kirtana, SB class? I have not risen at 4am but I do attend SB class when I am near the temple (which will be more frequent now that I’m done with school). If I stay at the temple, or any dham then I do wake up for mangala arati.

1. Who is your administrative, Sankirtana, authority in ISKCON? For the past 4 years (school) it has been Divyanam Das, president of ISKCON Richmond. Prior to that and back to it now is Sankirtana Yagya Das. And maybe Nilamadahava Das, President of Baltimore temple since a lot of services are required for the new temple they are building. 

1. A few words that you would like us to offer to Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupad ki jai!  A simple thank you to you is not enough to show how much appreciation and gratitude I have for you. Without you, life would be meaningless and we’d be humans in the mood of chickens with our heads cut off. Thank you for your mercy and determination to pick us up from the sidewalks, dust us off, polish us up, and sending us to serve the Lord. Thank you for filling our minds with lovely pastimes of the Lord and engaging our senses in Kirtan and Prasadam. Thank you for making us eager to do seva—and thank you for changing our consciousness.

As for the morning program Maharaj, since I’m working and living at home (without formal deities), how would you advice the morning program to go? When I was with Subala Sakha’s home, they had the mercy of beautiful Sri Sri Nitai Chaitanya Chandra and I was able to attend morning program. I have my “happy dolls” of Sri Sri Radha Krishna and Jaganath, Subadra, and Baladev for whom I light incense, offer a lamp,  offer water and fruits, and sing prayers  for. What would be the best way to hold and attend a morning program? As for reading— I have shelves of Srila Prabhupad’s books that I’ve been slowly finishing by myself. I did bhakti sastri (for only 1 book – NOI) in Richmond and was in a “Krishna book club” during my time at UVA in Charlottesville with Amit Acara Prabhu and Mayapriya Mataji. Going to try to get back into sanga readings because the advanced devotees have such thoughtful realizations.

Nothing else to report here Maharaj. I’m just battling it out in Houston for maybe 10 more days and then going back to Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan and apologizing profusely for whatever offenses I committed that They kicked me out of DC for. Until then, I hope to learn and correct myself. I beg for your mercy and pray for your protection. Please stay cool (and hydrated!) amidst the California heat. I eagerly await your response and postings!

Your servant,

Sarita

ASA - AGTSP!    Your progress is astounding and any failure in economics or family relations can only be because Krsna has a BETTER plan for you. . .  BETTER. . .    Just have to figure how to be up for the Brahma muhurta time daily!     Work on it.    Use your intelligence.   It is big challenge so may come in moderately small steps.  Your Deities are fine! 

Awaiting your news.

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja

Please, accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I´m very sorry forthe delay of this report. We're travelling outside Lima but now I can write you. This week has had little activity with regard to the organization of the event, except for sending some invitations. I've been talking to Isvari mataji who has thought to register the study material and  NIMSAR intellectual property . After achieving recognition of the national board and shortly after obtaining registration with the peruvian state should concentrate on strengthening our institution resources. NIMSAR issues have been good in the past but to be best from now on we have toprofessionalize our activities. I will be already telling you on this.

Only six weeks for your arrival. Can´t wait for it, Gurudeva.

Your servant

Gandharva dasa

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! Paoho.   Thank you for your news, as it is.  We are always looking to be engaged in Krsna's service, and then our news is unlimited!
