Letters to the editor

hare krsna maharaj,
Please accept my obeisances (may be not humble yet) at your feet
Jaya Srila Prabhupada

I have been reading letters of others devotees mentioning thier servics, concerns. I see my concerns at very different platform then them. One should not approach guru to solve petty things, but to get way to purpose of life. I hope my questions help  myself and others in solving the mystery of life.

i have intermettentily started reading canto 2. i think i should read atleast 3 times before i move ahead. rounds are ok. The communication with mother Urmila is helping a lot ( though we can not offer any help in her service) in establishing lost connection with Krsna

---------------------------------

This is in reference to letter http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5314

you asked : "HpS - Well I can see her being disturbed with our picture, but what did Krsna every do to cause her distress?" Krsna has not done anything to her. whatever we have done is and had been problem. As you said "Of course, we may not come to the natural standard immediately, and to force it artificially will cause other problems". This had been problem. we practically dont know which standards to apply in our life. We tried to have non-onion-garlic diet in home for every one, eat only offered food, have regular offering. out enthusiasm turned in passion and fanaticimsm etc..

so she has  got negative emotional cues with ISK  (classes and altar(not with you)). All sufferings come back to her as flash back.

---------------------------------------
on another note we remember your life ( as married men). You must have great  renouncing abilities when your wife and kid left you because of your adherence to the movement. Hats off to you !!!!
--------------------------------------------------
all this suffering we tolerate with this perspective... " austerity/suffering  is there, only chocieis voluntary or involutanry ". i hope all these sufferings nullify my sinful actvities (which i have definitely done a lot in this life time itself).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
we suggested by you in previous letter.."Work toward good association of any kind. It is even worth risking economic situation to get good friends, no?"  yes you are correct...we are working towards that.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------
we did look on internet on "super cool liquid: .. it takes a moment for life to change....but as we understood there are many prequisite for that...

HpS - AGTSP. paoho.  We have to communicate with you a little about the NIOS work and Professor. It is all so amazing. Being in the material world means being in a prison. Have you every visited a prison. Is full of emotionally sick people. It has been tolerable for us. We have similar emotional stress to you, just different group. Nobody in this world is in an enviable state.

Thing is to learn how to have fun in the middle of the magic.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva
Please, accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

You are quite right. We can not continue programming activities and courses if we do not establish on real grounds. The commitment to ISKCON and the Peruvian state connects us with our responsibilities in a different way. I  regret not being able to satisfy your desire before, we have failed to deal with our informality and informal system in which we live and make service. I do not want to say much until we can not sign the application. Monday will be. I hope to give better news next week.

I repeat my apologies, Gurumaharaja

Your servant

Gandharva dasa

HpS - I need to make much bigger apologize to you, but I think we have a later letter with the approval. Bhakti-yoga is the religion progressive rules and regulations. At some point we decide we are always going to chant 16-rounds. Then we decide we are always going to be up for Mangala arati ... then ...  In our ISKCON administrative dealing it is the same. But NOI 3, without patience and intelligence it just becomes violence.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡ PAMHO

I hope this meets U in good health 

HpS - ASA ---- AGTSP paoho.  Ooooooof!      We are about to die.   100-degrees Farenheit. Can hardly breath the air. Then lots of work for many agencies who sometimes criticize us for being lazy.  Ha!  Ha!  Ha!      Sound like your life!

I do not know if U remember Jagadish Krsna das prabhu he was pujari for years. He knows that we meet U everydady at startmeeting and due to he can not communicate with his GM HH JPS. He asked me a favor if U can suggest a name for his deities ¡¡ He gives charity to the temple but due to his work he can't go so often so he is worshiping Radha Krsna at home as a service for his Gurudeva.

So the favor is that if U kindly may suggest a name for his Radha Krsna deities. I am attaching a photo of Them 

Thank U all so much in advance

Trying to serve other vaisnavas and not myself

CMDD

ASA - Radha - Gopinatha !     But They can have other Names also.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, We all are in Yatra and you are much much more ahead
    and you have left/put marks on the path so that we also reach to the destination by following
    those marks.

    Your every comments on letters are very precious for us, while, i have just collected 180 as of, from
    your letters. All are very very precious for me. I am just sharing your 10 comments below:

    1. Our beads are our worshipable Deity.

ASA - Bead bag like a Temple!

    2. Every moment is dying and nothing more. So, can we do it for Krsna? For His applause with His friends.
    3. Living in this material world is like driving Krsna to a party with Him in the front seat next to you
       in the rain. You have to be a little careful because of the rain and other drivers, but it doesn't require
       all your intelligence. Most of your attention is on the converstation that Krsna is having with Sridham.
    4. You are a loser. You have done nothing for anybody. You have nothing to show for your life!
    5. Whatever Krsna wants, that is our service. Whatever the Gopis, Srila Prabhupada want for Krsna, that is our service, eternally.
    6. Krsna doesn't waste anyone's austerities.
    7. Dukalayam asasvatam.  A place that Krsna guarantees will not work! We can never be happy here. We are perfectionists!
    8. If you want a nice husband, nice car, nice house, nice partys, nice friends, nice babies, then.... you are in the right place.
    9. Biggest way to dump the false ego is to help devotees, Karmis, do their service.
   10. Bad Japa is spiritual death.

   Your comments are like instructions or indications for us to atten our goal of life and you always live with me through your marks,
   instructions, indications and sayings.

   Thank you, Guru Dev for continous enlightening for truth.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA --- We have to write letter for your second initiation. It is in our list!!!!     I hope we can hear at 9PM the things we say at 3AM.    The mode of ignorance and the mode of passion.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, Have attached, one of your good photo, which we like very much.

HpS - Yes, it is """mystical"""".  It was when we were staying in the B'cari Ashrama in Russia for one month for teaching Bh. Vaibhava.   They have big, thick, log building of two stories. In the Winter it is 50 degrees Celcious below zero so the logs get warm from the heat inside and then stay warm.

    Gurudev, To prepare SB and BG, have downloaded your lectures from Vedabase, again. Also downloaded, your lectures on Necture of instruction,

    Necture of devotion and a folder called various and few kirtan, sung by you.

    Preparing Android for frequent communication with you.

    Have collected around 180 your quetes, which i read frequently and get instruction.

    Hope to please you some day.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Here it has been very hot. We will write in the DTC for you!!! !!      !!!!    

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    We hope you are in good health and doing good.

    Please accept my sincerest apologies, that i could not have been any post on blog.

    After Delhi, I was in Vrandavan for long time (was working from Vrandavana), just returned on 25 May in Pune.
    Then IBM sent me for a workshop training for new Microsoft Technology. Tomorrow is the last day of the
     training.

    Gurudev, it is very sad for me, for your 43-hours traveling without lying down. Krsna loves you so much.

    Gurudev, i will go back again Vrandavan in the monthe of July 2nd week and will be back after Janmastami.
    Then will go again after Kartik. And then again in Feb 2016, when you will be back in Vrandavana.

     Trying to finish my responsibility for my parents as soon as possible, so that i can make avilable my selft for Krsna's servant of servant of servant. 

     Gurudev, how may i please you?

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - AGTSP paoho.  We have two other letters from you!  We will look at them.  You are so fortunate to be able to visit Vrndavan so often. For us it costs $1500 and days of "exciting" travel.  You are pleasing to us if you are pleasing our Guru, Srila Prabhupada. Of course, basically that means good rounds and 4-principles. Then nice morning program and S A N K I R T A N.   Of course, there are so many ways to do Sankirtan.
