Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaja , how are you? I hope this letter finds you in a good way.

Im writing you to asked you about something.

A brahmana at the temple used to worship laddhu gopal, and he gave it to me .

I asked Maha Hari what should i do , and he told me that it was better that i write you.

He gave me several explications but he told me to better consult you. Is it ok to worship laddhu gopal at my home?. My rounds are improving , and so does my schedule im waking up at 7 every day. waiting for your answer . Bktn lali

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP paoho.    Thank you for your letter. Obeisances to Maha-hari Das.  We don't worship Laddu Gopal on our temple altars. He is the main deity for the Balabha Sampradaya, but in the home he is fine as far as I know. You should take care of Him with love, cleanliness and punctuality and then some practical standard of arati and kirtan and reading. He likes to hear stories.
Offer Bhoga, flowers, incence, lamp and fragrant oils.

Hare Krsna Maharaja, please accept my respectful obeisances to your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to your devotional service.

I hope your health is well. It is the first time I use this blog, and I'm writting you concerning a personal work and because I would like to ask some questions.

I am disciple of HH Guru Prasad Swami and I  lived in Mexico City for the last five years (in the temple and close to the temple) while I was studying in the University. Now I finished and I'm preparing my project for get my degree in Communication.

It is a documental about the influence of Art in the Spiritual life and social changes (This is not the title). So, I really would get your blessings for make a good service and this work can be usefull for the devotees and the preaching.

I would like to ask you, Can you recommend me some literature or another kind of confiable sources about the role and history of the art in the Vedic tradition and along the Vaisnavism?

I'm very grateful with you Maharaja, thank you for your time and inspiration and please excuse my ofenses.

Aspiring to serve you,

Govardhanesvari devi dasi México

HpS - ASA --- I hope we can meet you when we visit Mexico. Of course you can look on the internet. There is one devotee in Radha-desa whom you might know, Mahaprabhu Das, from Uraguay who has published a big book recently.

Other than that what I know is the great classic, "Vastu-sastra" by D. N. Shukla. The second volume is especially about Alankrta, ornaments in Vastu. We read the first in detail but only glanced at the second.
Look for more on Vastu.
 

                HARE KRSNA DEAR GURUDEVA,

               THIS IS YOUR ANSWER TO LAST E-MAIL, I WISH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "PRACTICAL

               RELATIONS" PLEASE.

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP paoho. Thank you so much for all your's and Bhadrasena Das' association while we were in Spain. I hope you have practical relations with the Madrid ISKCON center and thank you very much for starting the transcription. We would even publish this transcrption by itself to get critical reviews as soon as you are done.

          HOPING TO PLEASE SRILA PRABHUPADA, RADHA & KRSNA AND YOU.

                 BHADRA VD AND SANANDA DD

HpS - AGTSP paoho. I don't know Sr. Claudio and don't know what we would talk about now, but if there is some good discussion we would be happy to talk with him. Maybe involve him in the Peru work.

"Practical relations" - How can we work together to help Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan movement. How we can participate in the Sankirtan activities, or generate them, with our local Temple. Not necessarily very intimate but at least civil and looking for some way to make them more and more intimate.

O.K?

AgtSP, plase accept my most humble obeisances.

Hare Krishna dear Guru-maharaja! Here Pratibhanu from Chile (currently living in Campina Grande-Brazil, with Maharaja Danvantari Swami)

I hope you are fin about health in these days. 

I wrote a very long report, I don´t know if you received it, if you don´t, I´ll write it again in my next letter.

HpS - AGTSP!!!! Paoho.   No, I don't have any old letters from you!

We are living in a comunity of devotees here, and here is a very good devotee -like all the devotees- : Atmanivedana prabhu, a Dhanvantari Swami´s disciple: he told me that he wants to give me one of his silas, a saligrama, because me and my wife want to workship silas. So, this prabhu wants to know if you agree with this. What do you think about this? Then I can give to him your answer.

At your lotus feet, 

Pratibhanu das

HpS - ASA --- It is very serious thing, like having children. Have you been regular in chanting your rounds, mangala arati, gayatri's?

Reciba mis mas humildes y respetuosas reverencias guru maharaj postrado a sus pies de loto

asa - agtsp, pies de loko.

... me atrevo a pedirle que derrame un poco de su misericordia para su humilde sirviente.

asa-$6/minuto. -[;o)/\__

Desde hace aproccimadamente 4 años que llevo practicando mis 4 principios  y desde este diciembre subí mi canto del santo nombre a 16 rondas denuevo, dos años y medio practicando mi sadhana 
En los últimos tres años y medio estado en el servicio de obras de teatro que se realizan en cada festividad de Nueva Nilacala Mandhir, como le había informado anteriormente.
He participado por gracia de Krisna de dos  Ratra Yatra en la realización de la obra de teatro que se presentan en el festival, actualmente le pedí al encargado del templo Govinda Carana Das que me diera otro servicio mas , el cual es limpiar el templo los viernes , preparar la parafernalia de Srila Prabhupa para su vyasa puja , la madre Deivi Rhada Devi Das me a estado enseñando como ofrecer los diversos elementos a Srila Prabhupada en sus nombres en sánscrito , asi como el orden que deben de llevar a colocarlos en la charola. 
 
He entendido que cantar mis rondas, seguir los 4 principios y hacer servicio, son la base de una relación sana y progresiva con Krisna y la bendición del Guru, pero también entiendo que es necesario refugiare en un maestro espiritual genuino , en el cual uno tenga un sentimiento de inspiración en conciencia de krsna, por lo anterior y con mucho respeto me atrevo a pedirle y me gustaría mucho que usted me de iniciación he intrusión para seguir caminando en conciencia de Krisna  ,hablé de esto con la madre Radhika Devi Das, que es mi autoridad  y con el encargado del templo Prabhu Govinda Carana Das y también con la madre Asta Sakhi de México les pedí orientación y están enterados de mi deseo de tomar refugio en usted  , me pidieron  que le informará de este deseo y que esperará su respuesta ¿cuándo viene a Guadalajara?
 
Se despide de usted su eterno sirviente el mas pequeño baktha miguel ignacion Valenzuela
