Letters to the editor

HK Dear Maharaja, TgaSSGN . TGASP.

I share the moment that I have to live

Living in the material world

Like a crazy person

I accept the fate that I meet at every step

Trying to conquer the mind in elation or facing “misfortune” HK-HR

My head may be separated from my body at any time.

Or that this body of a donkey lying on an operating room stretcher perishes.

Or that my approval rejoices my senses while dreaming at night I see myself flying like a bird that overcomes the gravity of the atmosphere with its effort.

We know thanks to SP (all glories at his lotus feet) that:

Bg. 9.31

kṣipraṁ bhavati dharmātmā

śaśvac-chāntiṁ nigacchati

kaunteya pratijānīhi

na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati

- He soon becomes virtuous and achieves lasting peace. O son of Kuntī, boldly declare that My devotee never perishes. –

Dear Lord… I beg you to accept me as Your devotee.

And may this heart of stone turn to sand and melt like transparent glass free from all malice.

My cowardice is great and my fear is like an unforeseen arrow that crosses this capricious mind and poisons it.

May my desire to serve you be sincere in the perfectible transit of this human life.

And may my memory never forget the words of Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura who describes surrender to the Supreme Lord as follows:

mārabi rākhabi — I icchā tohārā

nitya-dāsa-prati tuyā adhikārā

«My Lord, now I have given myself to You. I am Your eternal servant; if you want, you can kill me, and if you want, you can protect me. In any case, I am fully delivered to You».

Dear Majaraja Thank you for this space that you so kindly give us.

His mercy should have no limit. Because otherwise we wouldn't be so lucky.

All glories to you.

HpS / ASA - I am sorry that I don't speak Spanish well enough to contemplate your words even more deeply.

They are very inspiring for me.

Maybe we will meet in Sankirtan dreams with Srila Prabhupada.

I'm sure everyone would like to hear more of your ideas as you see fit.

Thank you!!!

HK Querido Maharaja, TgaSSGN . TGASP.

Comparto el instante que me toca vivir

Viviendo en el mundo material

Como un loco

Acepto el destino que encuentro a cada paso

Tratando de conquistar la mente ante el júbilo o enfrentando la “desdicha” HK-HR

Puede que mi cabeza sea separada de mi cuerpo en cualquier momento.

O que perezca este cuerpo de burro tendido en la camilla de un quirófano.

O que mi beneplácito regocije mis sentidos mientras soñando por la noche me vea volando como un pájaro que vence con su esfuerzo la gravedad de la atmósfera.

Sabemos gracias a SP (todas las glorias a sus pies de loto) que:

Bg. 9.31

kṣipraṁ bhavati dharmātmā

śaśvac-chāntiṁ nigacchati

kaunteya pratijānīhi

na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati

- Prontamente él se vuelve virtuoso y consigue una paz perdurable. ¡Oh, hijo de Kuntī!, declara osadamente que Mi devoto nunca perece. –

Querido Señor… te ruego que me aceptes como Tu devoto.

Y que este corazón de piedra se vuelva arena y se derrita como el cristal transparente libre de toda malicia.

Mi cobardía es grande y mi temor es como una flecha imprevista que atraviesa esta mente caprichosa y la envenena.

Que mi deseo por servirte sea sincero en el transito perfectible de esta vida humana.

Y que nunca mi memoria olvide las palabras de  Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura que describe la entrega al Señor Supremo de la siguiente manera:

mārabi rākhabi — yo icchā tohārā

nitya-dāsa-prati tuyā adhikārā

«Mi Señor, ahora me he entregado a Ti. Soy Tu sirviente eterno; si quieres, puedes matarme, y si quieres, puedes protegerme. En cualquier caso, estoy plenamente entregado a Ti».

Querido Majaraja Gracias por este espacio que tan amablemente nos brindas.

Su misericordia no ha de tener límite. Porque de otro modo no seríamos tan afortunados.

Todas las glorias a ti.

Dear Guru Maharaja

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

I am still in India. I am in Nagpur now visiting Divya’s parents. Will leave from here on Monday and have my flight back to Dallas on 1-Sep and we’ll reach on 2-Sep. Divya Sri is alone but thankful we have such a nice community of devotees who are taking care of her. Our car was broken into a few days back in the temple parking lot when Divya was dressing Radha Govinda. But she is ok and the car is in the workshop.

In the time I’ve been here, I haven’t been able to work on ASA Encyclopedia. When I arrived, it was the 10th day ritual for my uncle, then there was rituals till day 13 with so many relatives in my home. My uncle didn’t have kids. So my father was performing all the samskaras and then my visa appt.

Somehow managed to squeeze in a trip to Mayapur for a 3 days. Met Mishra Bhagavan prabhu there. He took me to Srila Prabhupada’s quarters in the lotus building and told his memories. He said it was in that very room that Prabhupada asked Tamal Krishna Maharaja to go to China! I went to Mayapur after 5 years and the crowd has increased significantly. They have displays in the Pancatattva courtyard for devotees to take Darsan even during mangala arathi as there is no place inside the temple room. It’s totally packed and so wonderful to sing samsaradhava with about a thousand devotees in unison! We felt your connection so much in Mayapur during the morning program.

I then took my father for his cataract surgery and follow up. It was a successful surgery.

I want to ask for forgiveness to have not started work but state that we are very much interested and willing to work on the ASA Encyclopedia. I should have time after Janmastami and will start work and make some progress.

HpS - Nothing to forgive. It seems to be moving ahead practically. If anyone has any idea how to improve things, then please let us know.

Maybe it will prove to be not really worth doing.

Srila Prabhupada wants us to chant Hare Krsna and then adjust our Sankirtan to that base, no?

I would also like to pass the sound-cloud credentials to the ASA carnival team so that they can maintain all the media. Can you please send me the contact of the devotee I should talk to Guru Maharaja?

ASA - Text us by Whatsapp.

We are hoping to come and see you in Houston in November Guru Maharaja.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HpS - Thank you so much for this news!!

So, much.

Best wishes for everyone to become more and more integrated with Krsna's pastimes.

Dear / respected Hanumat Preshak Swami

my obeisances ,

all glories to His Divine Grace

We are happy to receive your mail. Apologies for delay in reply. We are not using SIM cards so our access to internet is only when we have WI FI.

We noticed that nothing is really so urgent.

We were back and forth from City to the farm that is on the hills where there are lots of rain, so internet by the grace of Indra deva doesn't work regularly.

We noticed we are more personal to each other and others when we are not connected 24/7.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! ... One of our very good friends, Prof. Hector Behar, very prominent social scientist and former political revolutionary commented that these are not "social media" they are "anti-social media".

🤔

In regards to some suggestions from the first hand about possible improvements in the service of my esteemed wife, Bht.Wang Pan, there are few things that I can mention.

Overall, for the stage and her previous upbringing she is more than average in contribution and personal development.

Seeing that there is community and individual in the community there are few aspects that we have to consider.

Personal development does depend on personal introspection and practice, as well as harmonizing with community of devotees and managerial side.

Often there could be some differences between this currents but it is only external.

Her personal sadhana is externally good.

Attitude is also good , but as the master Vaisesika Prabhu says, ABS, always better service, we can always review our attitudes.

Tom Brown🐵 - What is the biggest room in the world?

Buck White🐷 - ???

TB - "The room for self improvement!"

Places to improve could be more cultivating variety of relationships with devotees.

Here is little limping.

Could be due to being in a foreign land and could be Chinese politeness that we westerners interpret as impersonalism.

However we are here to transcend/overcome our conditioning for the pleasure of the Lord.

As Prabhupada says it takes a village to rise a child.

I would personally encourage her to more interact with devotes in variety of service for better grow and appreciation of others and their services.

In the lines of Prabhupada statement , we need a father, mother, friend, uncle, brother,neighbour etc...to be more settled.

Its good that she is dependent on me, but being overly dependent is not good.

Just like there are liberals and orthodox.

Both are fine if there is not extreme.

As soon as one goes into extreme, there will immediately be disbalance and our services to Prabhupada internally and externally checked.

HpS - Avadhutas and Smarta. Nityananda and Adwaita!

In the same lines, to be to dependent or too independent is in general not proving good.

That's what comes to my mind at the moment.

As we know formations in the battlefield of Kuruksetra were daily different, we have to expect that as we progress in spiritual life there will be constant need of modification and working on different fields.

As Srila Prabhupada letters always ended encouraging to follow regulative principles and chant 16 rounds and as you always add , chanting them early in the morning, we belive that whatever happens whether externally good or bad is always for our ultimate good. So,we are marching forward in unison.

In regards to initiation there is a confusion about when, where and how.Could you please helps solve this mystery Maharaja.

HpS - Formally if the candidate has been chanting 16-nice rounds daily and following 4 principles strictly for one hear, has passed the disciple course, has a letter of recommendation from Temple President or such authority, and has been in contact with an ISKCON Diksa guru (like us) for six months to consider what Diksa means etc.

Then... candidate can be initiated.

I think Mataji has done all these things, no?

I remember once one of my gurus once put me on "pause" for my overly "creative idea" for months. Means he was not talking to me as usual. It was actually mercy because I kept on thinking and rethinking about my idea and that purified me nicely.

Again and again , we are blessed by somehow cross your path and we feel refreshed in that state.

Yours in the service of Guru and Gouranga

Narayan pandit das & Bht.Wang

HpS/ASA - Thank you for your very frank thoughts. I hope that your good wife does not feel a little shy at such considerations, but that is the characteristic of one advancing in KC that they are getting detached from praise and blame of their ego, and only want to hear good reflection on their character for self improvment.

If you send an email address we can also converse particular points in KC as you like. Of course, we won't publish it.

Thank you!

We hope we can relate our iconic Sun Wu Kong with the Bhava of Lord Chaitanya

ALL GLORY TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!! and to his disciples like you who are determined to carry out the mission of Sri Caitanya at all times, places and circumstances.

We are going to divide this report into four parts:

1) DTC-UT INDIA PROGRESS: We have entered the final stage of the DTC-UT India edition: Pablo is incorporating all the suggestions you raised after the 2nd cut. Also, Raúl and Pablo are refining some scenes of the film based on the concepts of "water" and "fire" taken from Srimad Bhagavatam, by the mercy of Guru-Gauranga we hope to have it ready for Radhastami, any additional suggestions?

2) DEVELOPMENT OF THE NIOS-HISPÁNICO WEB PAGE: We have already had 6 work meetings, although at the beginning 10 members were summoned to participate in the end, those who participate in all the meetings are:

Professor Dolores Chávez (Lalita-gopi DD) / PhD in Language Sciences

Professor José Manrique (Jagat-pavitram D) / Electronic Engineer

Professor Diego Rodríguez de Ita / Doctoral student in Architecture

Karla Celdrán / Marketing expert

Professor Alejandro Salazar (Abhiram Thakur D) / Mathematician and SOLARIS Editor, and

Luis Celdrán León / Psychologist and CEO of Cleos Online, the company that is building the WEB. Here is a brief summary of the advanced points:

VALUE PROPOSAL: We are an educational institution with a singular perspective that serves as a bridge between the academic community and spirituality (science, psyche, and spirituality). Our goal for 2024 is to establish a community of 5,000 participants in the Hispanic world (We humbly ask for your blessings to be able to achieve this goal).

TARGET PUBLIC: Students and professors of the university field, in particular, of Human and Social Sciences. Specifically we want to connect with people who want to solve the riddle of Who am I? And how can I get a real sense of life? Currently our main focus of development is in Chile, Mexico and Peru.

COMMUNICATION CHANNELS: Website - Blog - SOLARIS Magazine - Podcast - Social Networks: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube and Twitter.

RELATIONS WITH THE TARGET PUBLIC: Conferences, Symposiums and face-to-face and virtual Workshops. We are a space for meditation and contemplation through artistic, cultural and academic activities.

3) CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE EDITION OF PROFESSOR POLO'S BOOK: The book will be finished by the end of September, its title is: TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD IN ANCIENT INDIA, he is asking H. H. HpS to write a short text on th"e importance of knowledge from Ancient India for NIOS, and for Professor Ravi Gupta (Radhika Raman D) to write an article on SABDA PRAMANA, the deadline is October 3rd, is that ok?

HpS-ASA - Thank you!

1. How can the book be "finished by the end of September" is our "deadline is October 3rd"?
2. I can understand "Knowledge of the World in Ancient India" but not "Truth of the World in...".
3. "The Importance of Knowledge from Ancient India for NIOS" is a workable topic, but it would require time defining terms more precisely. How long is a "Short Text"?
4. Radhika's topic, Shabda Praman, is like asking ArtD to write an article on Mathematics in Europe. It is very broad. Is Miguel thinking of something more specific?

///

4) DISTRIBUTION OF SOLARIS 7 IN INDIA: Thanks to the support of Dr. Mónica Campos (Head of Cancilleria of the Peruvian embassy in India) through diplomatic pouch we have already sent 10 SOLARIS No 7 Journals, they arrive in Delhi on the 6th September. Also mother Tarangaksi has brought 20 SOLARIS 7 Journals. She is now in Spain and will deliver five copies to Jayanta for Sankirtana in Spain and the other 15, when she arrives in India, will be sent to the address of Prof. Harsh Pradhana. . Finally, mother Mitravinda is taking 20 more copies of SOLARIS No 7, she arrives for Kartika in India and she will also send those copies to Prof. Harsh Pradhana. is OK?

I sincerely hope these points will be helpful in your Sankirtana for Srila Prabhupada's pleasure,

HARE KRISHNA,

Manuel.

ASA (SAUC) - The Supreme Absolute Undifferentiated Commando of ASA is greatly pleased with this excellent report. Please send another, at least after one month.

asa🙇asa

Escribo como parte del equipo de ASA Carnaval, para enviar nuestro reporte de actividades:

*Continuamos transmitiendo las clases sabatinas de Prabhu Upendra y usted.

*También hemos agregado al canal de youtube las clases que usted ha dado para ParthSarthi Foundation (Houston)

*En los canales de FB y Youtube los usuarios podrán encontrar una lista de reproducción con algunas clases de Srila Prabhupada (Ingles - Español)

Proyectos:

*Tenemos pendiente coordinar con Abhirama Thakura Prabhu, cómo podríamos colaborar para la difusión y resguardo de las grabaciones de Santa Eulalia.

asa - el libro KRSNA.

*Lentamente continuamos con el trabajo de indización y respaldo en la plataforma de youtube.

***Guru Maharaja, en su respuesta a nuestra carta anterior usted dijo: “Esperamos que el mismo trabajo esté sucediendo para Srila Prabhupada seis veces más fuertemente que para nosotros”…

Con el deseo de atender su instrucción, sus sirvientes ASA Carnaval, estamos proponiendo realizar una serie de Talleres prácticos, con el apoyo de la Dra. Radhika Devi Dasi (México) donde se tratarían problemáticas cotidianas y su resolución basada en las instrucciones de Srila Prabhupada, teniendo como eje diferentes libros de nuestro Acarya.

asa - eg. stri dharma, sannyasa dharma en SB/CC etc.

Por otra parte; hemos pensado que quizá, con apoyo de otros miembros de ASA, podríamos realizar lecturas en línea, quizá diarias de máximo 5 minutos, sobre el Prabhupada Lilamrita. (Aunque esta propuesta requiere de análisis debido a los derechos de autor)

asa - spanish bbt, aravinda das

Por favor Gurudeva, ¿A usted le gustaría sugerirnos alguna forma en la que podamos contribuir directamente en la misión de Srila Prabhupada? Estaremos muy agradecidos por su misericordiosa guía.

asa - comienza con diferentes cosas cortas. clips of lilamrta. illustrating different oraciones. leyendo libro KRSNA en modo srrealista...

Por ahora esos son nuestros pequeños esfuerzos, muchas gracias por su paciencia.

Thank you for your prompt communication,

from which I am trying to understand.

We send the information for the publication of the article for Solaris by mail,

a summary with difficulty in 15 pages,

but there was so much information to put together,

according to the format,

devotional content,

we try to be scientifically possible,

due to the shape and theme of the magazine...

and that made we believe that it was prudent to quote Srila Prabhupada and the work that you have always spread,

. . . . . . . . . . . . . which is the 'light of the bhagavata',

and if it is possible to modify the text

with more Quotes from the book,

the better,

or perhaps photographs with some pages

and text

from the book.

Well I don't know...

🚩🚩🚩

Because ...

. . . . . . . . . . finally

.. . . ... agriculture. . . .

was

the basis

of an advanced and spiritual civilization

or

maybe it's useless or need an English translation....

About of travels; I don't know which way to go now,

I'm so confused and unenthusiastic with all,

with the system...

Perhaps there are possibilities of being able to travel to Madrid next year.

But our focus right now is on Chile...

.

.

.

Last year i was traveling through Nepal and then Paris and Granada... and God gave us the opportunity to contemplate the Arabic writing on the walls of the Alhambra. .................. ..................... ................ ................... ............ ...There was a group of Nasrid wise men who wrote the name of god on the walls...

🗜

asa - KRS-NA . KRS-NA . KRS-NA . KRS-NA . krs-na ' krs-na ' KRSNA... HE!

🗜

For mental health i am writing some things,

... maybe i can write some texts.

Sometimes i listen to his preaching and what he talks about some things in conferences, and maybe we can do an essay next time in english and show him... Analyze works and art...

thanks for all ,,, Cynthia.

Cynthia.

asa - 🐵 all the people in this world are boring

. .. .except NIMAI and His gang

. . of rascals.
