Letters to the editor

AGTSP PAOHO & BW !!!     We just finished answer like 10-letters. Our backside is sore from sitting. Ha!   Ha!  Ha!       We are feeling weak. Is natural. This material world is sucking energy from everyone: Martya loka...  a place of death.     Only solution is chant Hare Krsna!

Then we can see the Sankiritan devotees of the Lord with clear vision.

Krsna is not a cruel person. He is a very funny, happy person. He is the son of Nanda Maharaja and wants to help everyone in Vrndavana to be happy and prosperous. We can help him do that!

Hare Krisna por favor mi Querido Gurudeva espero que acepte mis humildes reverencias Todas las Glorias a Srla Prabhupada.

La conclusion es que de una manera u otra nos ponemos en conciencia de Krisna al cantar su Santo Nombre de Krisna uno gradualmente se libera de la enfermedad material.

HpS - AGTSP!      Paoho.   Si, y mas que podemos cantar siguendo el metodo del Acharya es mas rapido la curacion, no?????   Jaya!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Goura y Gouranga


Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Gurudeva por favor mis acepte Humildes reverencias
Maharaja después de la ultima vez que escribi debo decirle que cosas pasaron que han cambiado un poco mi dia a dia .....empezare por decirle que cante las 24 rondas y me sentí en paz muy bien  y deseo seguir asi cantandolas,siempre fuerte y claro para poder escuchar yo misma el Maha-Mantra .
Maharaja el dia 27 de abril perdí a la bebe una niña a la cual le había puesto ya desde antes el nombre de  SYAMARANI, todo fue muy rápido,  en realidad sucedió en casa ,paso durante la madrugada ,prabhu Amala me asistió,quemamos a la bebe con tulasi en el templo que tenemos en casa y la cenizas están guardadas esperando ir a India o que algún devoto que vaya las lleva y arroje en el rio .....

HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP!     Fuerte noticias!!!!!           O.K.    Krsna es el controlador supremo y tiene buen deseos para todos... especialment para devotos. Aveces estas cosas pasan por que hay un devota, casi perfecta quien solamente necesita un poco mas tiempo en esta mundo para lograr la perfeccion y Krsna pone como hija de una devota, tomando Prasadam del sangre de su mama y ....  Back to Godhead.  No, se, pero hay buen razon para todo.

Querido Gurudeva todo esto que le estoy manifestando lo se porque prabhu Amala Karuna me lo conto, al parecer después de esa noche yo no recuerdo ,bloquee esa noche de mi recuerdo estuve sin memoria por tres emanas y despertaba creyendo que era domingo 26, ya pasaron los dias ,semanas ,un mes ya de eso y me siento mejor ,no recuerdo lo que sucedió esa noche pero cuando me veo y se que ya no estoy embarazada me siento triste, por mi, pero se que esa alma ya se fue al mundo espiritual es la promesa de Krishna  de TULASI, imagino que  la pena es por mi por el hecho de MI BEBE SE FUE ....

HpS - Si, pero no es no natural. Son las 1945 y una familiar va a trabajar en China para 10-meces. Entonces, todo van al embarcadero para decir adios al puerto del barco. Hay muchas lagrimas. Eso es natural, pero, no es que no vamos a tener llamadas, cartas y despues de un tiempo vamos a encontrar uno a otro.

MAHARAJA prabhu Amala y yo estamos teniendo programa en casa,teniendo un sadhana estricto en eso estamos ,como le.comente anteriormente las rondas y los 4 principios siguen siendo estrictos,Gurudeva siento tanta frustración de haber sido engañada y haber pasado por cosas tantas que me cegaron y me hicieron creer que en este mundo yo era feliz,Maharaja tengo el firme deseo de no querer nacer mas en este mundo material.... Pero me pregunto
SE PUEDE SER FELIZ EN ESTE MUNDO ,TENIENDO CONCIENCIA DE KRISHNA?
HpS - Si, como una persona en el carcel puede ser feliz despues de acepter que el hizo algo mal. O.K. yo hizo algo mal. Merezco ser aqui. Pero que puedo hacer. Mis padres fueron alcoholicos, todo mi juventud ha pasado un mal sueno. Tengo problemas fuertes psicologicos. No tengo abilidad ganar dinero de una manera honesta!!

Ahh... Hay psicologo gratis aqui!   Ah!!!  Hay entreniamento de trabajo aqui!!

Ah.  Estoy feliz aqui en el carcel.  Quiere reformar mi carater y salir para volver a mi familia, todo afuera.

Esa alma se fue al mundo espiritual al ser quemada con tulasi?

HpS - No se, pero es seguro Vds son ofreciendo oportunidad FUERTE como puede adelantar mucho, moooo, mooo,  mucho.

Es posible llegar al mundo espiritual en esta vida?

HpS - Si, pero normalmente adelatar mucho y tomamos nacimimiento en una planet donde Krsna is personalmente presente para los detalles de perfecion antes de ir a Goloka.

MAHARAJA pido su bendición para poder pasar por todo esto pronto y atravez de usted que Krishna perdone mis ofensas, todas las que pueda haber tenido conciente e inconciente ,que me de lucides y claridad para poder entender sus deciciones y no cuestionarlas jamas,para que me deje permanecer  ,teniendo claro que todo es de el y todo pasa por el....
Maharaja usted es todo para mi, mi padre ,mi madre tanto que solo necesito sus palabras y se que todo va estar bien
Alguien que quiere merecer  ser hija suya cada dia...
AMPARO HERNANDEZ

HpS - Somos bastante estupido representantes de Srila Prabhupada.   De una manera pienso que Vd es una Super Chica pasar esta experiencias y vivir!  Reverencias a todo su yatra!!!!   Krsna is thinking of us all the time.
Mas carta en el futuro.

hare krsna Maharaj,
Pamho, AGTSP,

Hope you have somewhat recovered from tirededness of Europe trip. I will try to be short.

HpS - Yes, AGTSP!!!!    I think we have, but the material energy is always exhausting, no?   Hope you will be long!

--thank you for much engaging in service, it does give us some good memories to think about in andh-kupam

-- i have got the recordings of conference in delhi, please tell me when we should give you that.

-- my wife is diagnosed with depression and OCD.
HpS - What is OCD (Opulent ??? Disease)?  Living with the head of a psychiatric hospital. Attending psychiatric conferences. We have to comment from the very beginning that everyone involved in the process seems to agree with Carl Jung's analysis that psychology in the West was only born this morning and all these diagnosis, though they may really help, must be taken with a plate of prasadam.

Major reason has been her in-laws and her husband. We have removed altar from our home (as that some become stimulus of discomfort to our wife). In march 2015 she threw all photograph of paramapara including yours and Krsnas, and gave it to trash-man.
In such cases we are very much fearful for any stimulus of stress.

HpS - Well I can see her being disturbed with our picture, but what did Krsna every do to cause her distress?

-- we get very much confused about illicit sex, because we get different opinions from you, and grhastha counsellor.

HpS - If s(he)it tells you that to fornicate for fun is O.K. then they are not Grhastha, they are Grhamedhis. Of course, we may not come to the natural standard immediately, and to force it artificially will cause other problems, but we should understand that as long as we are doing unnatural things we will suffer. Of course, Krsna will try to help us minimize the suffering. Indulging in illicit sex in a regulated fashion may be suggested by a Grhastha counselor but of course not encouraged or offered with any deception that you will not suffer, but your suffereing will be educational.

Our perspective, if one enjoy in youth beyond quota one suffers in old age (as simple)

HpS - It would be simple study to match up occurence of Alzheimer's disease with onset and intensity of unnatural sex.

-- we are chanting somehow, and hearing SP lectures on CC (no book reading )

-- we don't KNOW why you are so merciful on person (who is from sinful background, whose associated hover over mental platform). you must have  divine eyes to see us as part and parcel of Krsna.

HpS - Hey, I would say that you are continuing to try to get real mercy from Prabhupada, not because you are so much sincere, although I think you are a very sincere person, but rather because you executed sincere service in a previous life and so now you KNOW that this is the bona fide path. Look up "super cooled liquid" on the internet?  Are you becoming a super cooled liquid.

BLLLLOOOOOP!   One day your whole life changes in a moment.

It comes down to the same thing. I don't live with you enough to give my opinion whether you are crazy or you wife is crazy or your inlaws are crazy or your psychologist is crazy, but when we are together you don't seem to be anymore crazy than we are. The only way to get good evaluation of this is to have sane friends. Work toward good association of any kind. It is even worth risking economic situation to get good friends, no?

We have been in contact with Prof. Samaresh. He went home with blood pressure super high but is recovering. So many good comments on the book and it's release. We are just getting our feet on the ground (with your help, write often) and trying to get priorities for Sankirtan sorted out.
 

We can not control our mind. in our passionate state, we even started instructing you ( remember the MS word instance, (No, so we proabably didn't take it as anything unnatural (certified UC Davis Psychology Department instruction: everyone in this world is a little crazy)) I think its best for us to die young on some battle ground, following some Brahamana.

HpS - Well as long as you are following a Brahmana, live or die it is all good.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, pamho, Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

I hope that you are well and that you will have a very good trip . May Lord Nrsimhadeva protect you in all directions.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!   paoho....  We answered another letter on the same topic while we were traveling, no?   Now we can get to this one. We are very busy in Tennessee but at least not traveling every few days!

I continued editing ( slowly) the videos of the NIOS tour 2015. I upload 2 of them for you to see them before I publish. If you wish you can tell us your opinion so we can improve them.

HpS - AGTSP   paoho.  We will look at them tonight when we are at NGD's house. We don't have a good enough connection to watch them from our ASA Office. Thank you.

The image quality is not good as the original video, later I'll fix that.

The full conference at the National Library of Chile is also finished but I could not upload it yet. We will do it soon from better internet connection.

HpS - So much of our effort in these Jung's things was based upon starting a dialog with our contacts in Peru. A little bit happened but now it is like 97% stopped.  We are very much re-evaluating our educational efforts. Our Sankirtan has to go on in the association of devotees. With whom do we share our passions for preaching? Srila Prabhupada? Others?   Without Sankirtan everything else has no motivation, especially in the Kali yuga!

Talking about me, I'm not having a good time. The four principles are ok, but finish with the 16 rounds is 10 times harder than before. I do not feel connection with the holy name ... I'm not going beyond the surface and I can not reach deep introspection.  And I feel stupid and lazy because I know what I have to do to improve things ... but  I fail.

Last night I dreamed  that you phoned us and when I answered I heard you chanting japa. So I thought _ah! is FMP´s  time! And I woke up just before the alarm in time to go to Start Meeting.

Muchas Gracias Gurudeva.

P/D: I attached some pictures from the construction of the asram.
My father came a few days with his truck to help us. We collect stones from the way enough to make the foundation.

HpS - Yes, is very, very nice to see your names in the list each morning.

Text 7  and 8 of NoI talk in detail about this level of chanting, service.

Sometimes we have no Karma-yoga motivation, so we don't chant serve, because it is not our 'nature'. This was Arjuna's situation, no?  He could not walk away from the fight. His karma was there. So, his yoga had to be there. In Chapter Six, Yoga ladder verse (?) Prabhupada says that in the beginning we are attracted to a certain kind of service, but later we fall in love with Krsna. So, if we can come to the Jnana-yoga level that is more secure than the Karma-yoga level. Then I can serve because I understand this is Krsna's desire, even if I don't feel it 'karma'. Of course, that kind of yoga will gradually give you a taste that goes beyond being a girl. You will become a sexless philosopher.
That is interesting thing for Grhastha ashram or even being someone's "daughter".
"My daughter is a sexless, intellectual", but as it goes on that Jnana-yoga enriches our Karma-yoga and then we become a sweet, philosophical wife and daughter. In he beginning there is natually a little tendency toward impersonalism.

Super fotos!  Become the Prince and Princess of your District.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

HpS - ASA   ---  This is the third and most recent report that we are reading.

Dear Gurumaharaja, we are working hard in organizing the August event. We intend to support the event with a number of articles written by different devotees in their respective specialized subjects, so that some of them can be read before or during the conferences of Saturday morning and the other will be part of a booklet  published by NIMSAR, in conjunction with the conclusions and commitments. The papers should not exceed 400 words, this is a theoretical or technical input, as appropriate, to contribute to broader perspectives to stimulate discussion. We are on topics such as:

Sanskrit Education in children - Prana dasa
The homeschooling alternative - Arrudha Devi Dasi
Promoting youth leadership in ISKCON - Radhika Ramana Dasa
Sastric personal training education - SS Yadunandana Swami
Education in the grhastha ashram - HH Srila Virabahu
Education in Krishna consciousness for beginners - SS Swami Hrdayananda

. . . and other related topics to be discussed during the conference.

On the other hand, we are moving in the NIMSAR legalization issue before the Peruvian state, there are some alternatives that are driving mother Isvari and Prabhu Abhinanda, all related to the formation of a civil association, initially unrelated to educational issues because that would mean a long process with the Ministry of Eduación. Once the the Association is consolidated  we would extend our activities to educational issues. It is the right and easiest thing , we think.

We are also organizing a conference cycle divided into three main topics: education for children, education for youth and sastric education to be exposed in the temples of Lima and Chosica by members of NIMSAR from June 20 until the last week of July . The conference will promote the event to go so, to make them more attractive we should discuss Prahlada Maharaja, Nimai Pandit and Rupa Goswami, respectively.

Finally, next sunday we will be coming together with the  NIMSAR partners group to work on the themes of youth leadership in ISKCON, we believe that this issue is important and we want to clearly focus our efforts on young people. We read in an article published by Kaunteya dasa, through the Ministry of congregational development of ISKCON, that successful religions prevail in time because they have managed to integrate their young efficiently, giving them responsibility and giving them voice in making certain decisions.We must consider how education and NIMSAR can contribute to the solution of this problem removing it from the administrative and policy to make it a dynamic educational need.

Gurudeva, we look forward to your comments
I hope your travels are turning positive.
We always pray to Nrsimhadeva for your care.

Your happy servant

Gandharva dasa

HpS - AGTSP.   Have you seen our Blog reports of the educational work in India and Radha-desa and the work for the Congress here at the end of July?  Unless Srila Prabhupada's books are integrally and obviously a part of these events it becomes too weak to satisfy the self. We are supposed to discuss all this with Laksmana and Abhirama Das tomorrow. Seem you should contact Mother Lalita-gopis Devi Dasi about coming for the event from Mexico. She and other Mexican devotees will attend the Houston meetings July 31st, preach about them with us the week after in Mexico and so maybe she could just continue with the same thing in Peru with a recreational visit also.
The topics you have chosen for the above persons seem good don't always  seem to match with their current passions. You should make personal contact with them before you give them an exact theme, no?

Personally I like your association, Laksmana's association, Yugala's, Omkara's, Yamumesvara's, Om Purnam's, Patrak's, Raghunatha's, Miguel Polo's and so many devotees in Peru. We would eternally want your friendship, service association, ever expanding, but these institutional things seem to be lacking basic principles, no? Again, for example, ASA does not have a letter of approval from any ISKCON, GBC approved, organization in Peru - not the national Junta, ISKCON Chosica...  We asked for this months ago and explained that it is not proper for us to do programs as a branch of ASA in Peru without this authority. So at this point we should formally stop all programs in Peru, such as NIMSAR, as "Branches" of ASA until that relationship is clear, no?

What do you think?

We can still meet as friends without formal approval, but ISKCON in Peru has to be organized enough to deal with things at this level of institutional reality or really in our opinion we should communicate with the GBC that the Yatra is dysfunctional. This is our opinion. We are asking for your opinion and the opinion of others. I think that we, ASA, based in Tennessee are acting properly in this regard. We have a formal and functional relation with our GBC Secretary, Tamohara Das, and our local branch, NIOS.
Waiting eagerly for your thoughts.
