Letters to the editor

Respected Guru Maharaj,

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

Everything is Ok here, 16 rounds done.

I read in blog that you may visit India during 2015.  So would you like to do like last time you did, a visit to Australia from India? especially, if your health allows it.  I always read with anxiety your health report, who can tell you what to do.  You are an Avdhoot, a man of your own ecstasies, a transcendental madman.  I also understand that Krishna is always protecting you.

Today, I finished first chapter of 9th canto--King Sudyumna becomes a woman.

    HpS ASA - AGTSP!  And then a man and then a woman and then.... Wow! Be great for preaching to transvetites??? Krsna is all attractive.

Recently, I visited rupa.com and heard one of your lectures. it made me weep and laugh.

Priya, children all are happy.  I remain your servant eternally.

--Raktak Das

    HpS - Well, that was short. How old are the children? How do you make your money? What's the family news from India? Are you advancing in sense control?

hare krsna, maharaj, Pamho, agtsp,

its 2am in India, we are very much sane while writing this letter to you. we have not intentionally written to you for days as [i] we did not have any thing +ve to share with u [ii] we were seeing u were busy in North American Trip.
  HpS - ASA - AGTSP. It is nice to hear from you.
we dont know about our Karma, but seems Krsna has been very merciful for all time, esp in forgiving for offences done while being surrendering to upastha vegam.

there is a big question inside us always when we think of preparing for intiation, can I ensure of following the illicit sex regulaitve principle for life time ? its where we start developing doubt.
i dont know why you wrote "  You are also a very, very, very rare person. As a husband, father, son, student, we all feel happy to have your association."
but it keeps us motivated to atleast hang in ISKCON.

we are dumb person who does not have social skills, never developed them in whole life... we focussed more on process than on association....

and now we are facing consequences.. as u said "Illict sex is usually a community problem not a private problem"

i dont know what offence i did ..i am struggling to find asrama guru with whom i can discuss details...

anyway you can count us on for karma yoga , and use us if nothing a coolie or postman..

may be we are

"We love to drown in self-pity. Give ourselves rewards for our suffering, but it is all little pig like pleasures that don't even satisfy us but we try to make ourselves so stupid that they do"

    ASA - Wow! Who said that. Nice.

we feel happy by seeing your progress in services and your devotional replies. thanks for the blog, to you and Prahlad Nrsmha Pr.

hari bol,
     HpS - ASA - Hey, what is the family doing? Any news from the Christian association? Thesis?

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva,

please accept my most humble obeisances

always in my letters i wish for you that you feel ok, for your  health, i know that really you are trascendental to all pain of this world, but anyway my prayers are with you.

i keep fighting with my material disease, and with the enemies of my mind. I been doing mangala arati some days but not regularly yet, anyway has helped me to improve my 16 rounds daily. We continue with the service of sankirtan festival two twice a month. Some weeks ago came HH Gunagrahi Maharaja with HG Ajamil prabhu and participated with us, i´ll send you a photos. I´m Trying to delegate my service because my son will be born soon, in a month more or less. so i will be helped in a logistic way for some time.

HpS - Very nice. AgtSP! You are giving your blood for him.

i am still studying with bach flowers therapy, I have had new therapeutic experiences with family constelations, do you heard about it? its been very interesting for me, even in my espiritual life.

thank you very much for your last answer, for your understanding and advices.

grateful for your mercy
Your aspiring disciple and servant

HpS - ASA - We don't know too much about Family Constellations but we hear that it is good. It seems nice, practical. You are on the right path. Just don't forget that you are Krsna's little girl and that He loves you very much and we have all been away from Nanda's village tooooo long.

Hare Krisna Maharaj Please accept my dandavat pranam All glories to Srila prabhupada

All glories to you. Maharaj please accept my humble pranam.

Maharaj i beg you to please give me shelter of your lotus feet and accept me as your future disciple.

Please allow me to tell you about myself . I am Rituraj Majumder, 22 year old bengali medical student (MBBS) from shillong , India. I am basically from duliajan , assam. During my high school in 2010 i accidently came in contact with Srila prabhupada's book hare krisna challenge and perfect question and perfect answer. After reading them and visiting ISKCON Guwahati which is one night journey from my place I felt peace and a deep emotion in my heart.

The deities of sri Rukmini Krisna had captured my heart. Under the guidance of a youth councellor i started following the regulative principles and chanting some rounds. Then i took admission in medical school in august 2010 .Till 2012 january i had followed all the rules and regulations and chanted few rounds but on reading few articles about ISKCON Guru falldowns and child molestation inside gurukula I was mentally disturbed. Instead of asking my councellor or talking about it to senior devotees i just felt sad and gradually stopped following the regulative principles . Although i had full faith in krisna and still read srila prabhupada books. But i prayed that krisna help me out. In august 2013 i got a call from ISKCON Guwahati out of blue with a invitation to janmastami mahotsav.

I saw it as a sign and visited guwahati. That janmastami Krisna cleared all my doubts through a senior devotee who told me that the site where i had read the articles was from akshaypatra who wanted to defame ISKCON Gurus and that they propagated ritwik diksha which was not according to srila prabhupada and sastra. My faith was restored that janmastami. Then in september 2013 ISKCON Shillong was opened.

I started associating with senior devotees and under their guidance started chanting 16 rounds and follwing the regulative principles. I went to the temple as often as possible sometimes stayed the night and participated in mangal arati and other festivals like govardhan puja , tulsi saligram vivah etc. My main service was to help the pujari h.g yamunajivan das and washing utensils and sometimes the temple floor. In december 2013 i came in contact with your disciple H.G.Vishnupriya mataji and her husband H.G.Kamajit prabhu from manipur whom you had initiated in tripura.

After hearing from them about you, reading about you and hearing your classes over youtube i felt like i have found my guru maharaj. I contacted H.G.Haridas das prabhu ( H.H. Swarup damodar swami maharaj disciple) who told me that if i follow all the rules and chant 16 rounds for a year he will recomend me to you when you come to India next gaura purnima in 2015. From your classes and anjana suta academy slides i have understood that you want your disciples to wake up early in brama murhata and chant good enthusiastic 16 rounds. Now i am getting up early and chanting my rounds .sometimes i fail to get up but i am trying my level best. I offer my breakfast to krisna and take it as prasadam but because i stay inside hostel and i have classes whole day from 8am to 4 pm i am not able to offer lunch to krisna due to lack of time. But i am trying . I try to cook simple things and offer but sometimes its too difficult to manage time so i eat in hostel mess. Currently i am reading upadesamrita along with your notes from ASA and the classes that you had given in radhadesh (iskcon desire tree audio) . Maharaj will you please accept me as your future disciple and give me shelter at your lotus feet . I promise to improve. I am very fallen but i still beg you to accept me. I contacted your disciple H.G.Prahalad Narshimha prabhu and he adviced me to write to you and explain myself to you. I really appologise for this long letter and for taking so much of your valuable time. Please forgive me because i lack the manners required to write to a guru and a sanyasi . Please forgive me if i have offended you by writing this letter. Once again sorry for the lenghty letter. I hope that you will accept me as your future disciple . Begging for your mercy. Your servant Rituraj Majumder Shillong P.S. Vishnupriya mataji and kamajit prabhu sent their dandavat pranam at your lotus feet. They are enquiring about your health and hope that you are in good health . They also request you to visit India . They are eagerly waiting for your arrival .

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP paoho. We are old and may leave this body before we get to India, but we are have heartfelt connection with you even before we meet. So nice to hear from you. 99.9999999999% of the good qualities that you see in us are from Srila Prabhupada.
Of course, continue to take shelte of him as you are. This is his movement. Supersoul informs him of people and under his direction his servants give his shelter etc.
It certainly seems that you can be initiated as soon as Swami Hari-dasa recommends you and there is a letter from local Temple President.
Of course, why not take formal initiation from local ISKCON Guru. Certainly he would be very happy that we are acting as Siksa guru. Then you would be able to consult with Diksa guru very conveniently.

Esteemed Gurumaharaja: AGTSP!  pamho 

What a wonderful visit Dave and I had with you. 

Thank you for all your mercy!!!

Thank you for suggesting a seva for me.  i.e. coordinating with Auruvedic practictioner devotee.  After discussing with Dave, we think this will be too much for me right now.  I will be helping daughter with grandchildren fo r2 weeks in september if health allows.  Also, health ups and downs could make executing this faithfully, staying on top of it on a regular day to day basis, very difficult and stressful. 

For example, I have had a migraine every day since returning from san fran; have no idea why.  Please know how much I want to be at your service but do not want to committ to something unless I feel confident I  can see it through to a successful completion.

    HpS - ASA - Jaya!  It was very, very nice for us also. Very nice. Yes, I understand. It is very nice that you have such a good realization of how much you can do! Of course, Srila Prabhupada showed us how to use this body to the very limit, even when it was just skin and bones. It is like not throwing a way a jacket until it is just thread-bare, no?!!

Dave wants to send you a letter via post.  what is your mailing address please?........

HpS - Hanumatpresaka Swami; 2129 Stratford Road; Murfreesboro, TN 37129

This correspondence is once again a one-time opportunity on your blog.  The system still doesn't recognize me and I have to change my password each time.  Not sure what we are doing wrong.  You are dear to us.  Hare Krsna   I remain YWS Kalindi dd

HpS - Hmmmmf!   Let's see if you can solve the problem or we will try to ask our Blog Manager, Prahlada-nrsmha Das to help!! Krsna is always testing to see how much determination we have to overcome obstacles.

How much do we have??

Unlimited!

If we have to log on 150 times to communicate,will we do it?
