Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja.
Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.
Todas las glorias sean apra Srila Prabhupada!

Guru Maharaja, espero se encuentre bien de salud.

Le escribo para reportarme que sigo viva .

He estado trabajando en mi servicio en el templo que son los Cursos de Entrenamiento Vaishnava.

Éste año junto a Paramesvara Das, daremos el Curos Bhakti Sastri (por primera vez sin Prabhu Param Padam).

Gracias a la ayuda de Srila Virabahu y Prabhu Amara ahora podemos certificar Bhakti Sastri en Chile, así que estamos haciendo nuestro mayor esfuerzo para que los estudiantes se preparen lo mejor posible en el estudio de los libros de Srila Prabhupada, y que además de obtener más conocimiento y entendimiento de las escrituras, ellos puedan ser mejores devotos .

Sé que tal vez no soy buena haciendo éste servicio, pero es una necesidad para la comunidad, por lo tanto lo haré hasta que puedan existir devotos más competentes y con ganas de hacerlo. Mientras tanto es un servicio que me inspira y ayuda mucho.

Siguiendo 4 principios, cantando 16 rondas diarias y 3 gayatri mantras. Atendemos con estándar simple a Goura Nitai en casa. Levantando a las 6 o 7 am, cantar Sri Guru Astaka. Una ofrenda de Bhoga como mínimo al día. Flor e inciencio siempre lo olvido <img alt="frown" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/confused_smile.png" title="frown" width="23" />.

Estamos trabajando junto a otras devotas, en un proyecto de Escuela Dominical para niños. Y para esto estamos recibiendo mucha ayuda de Karuna Shakti Devi Dasi de México. Vamos lento pero seguro .

(Siempre medito en que algún día quiero volver a hacer Teatro para Krishna, ya que mi tiempo está un poco limitado ahora)

La semana que viene comienzo  Instructorado de Yoga cerca de mi casa, así que éste año hay mucho que estudiar .

Esperando que ésta carta sea de su agrado, me despido quedando en calidad de sirviente.

Muchas gracias por Su tiempo, mi corazón se siente muy bien al  poder escribirle y poder tener más cercanía con Usted. 

Su sirviente eterna

Priya Sakhi Devi Dasi.

HpS - ASA --  TlgaSP.   Pfanrh.   Muy bien su carta. Muy bien. Claro, tiene que levantar para Brahma-muhurta. Entonces va a ver su Japa, todo va ser mas fuerte. Usualmente solamente es adjustamiento de prioridades. Pero ver el resultado es facil mantener. Krsna tiene mucho servicio para Vd.
Necesitamos miles de devotos en Chile.
Bhakti sastri!

Yoga!

Deidades!...  Familia?????

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

    Gurudev, Thank you so much for the information. Sure, will watch Calendar events at monkeywarrior, under title : Calendar-Delhi.
 
    Then according to your schedule will book my railway tickets and stay in Delhi. Also i will communicate
    with H G Sri Hari Das for the same and update you.

    Do you have any plan to visit Vraja? I would like to be with you in Vraja.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA ---   Jaya, Giri-govardhana!      Depending how things develop we will spend time in Vraja. If Srimati Radharana lets us at least we will go in the morning and come back in the evening. Again, this trip seems to be arranged by Krsna and the focus seems to be this book release at Raja-bhavan if possible.  Sankirtan!  So nice to write to you.

AGTSP!!!!
paoho. & bw...
Here we are sitting on our desk. We can look right out at Medical Center Parkway about 6 meters from our windows. There are two lanes going both directions. It is a very rough sight, the back of a old mall with loading docks and dumpsters, but keeps us awake and doesn't attract us.

Little rain now. Was below freezing last night but Spring is here (BG 10.35). Many birds. One was investigating making her nest in our window sill. Many flowers and trees. Many seasonal anachromisms, extreme weather, deadly hail storms, lunar eclipses. Kali-yuga will get worse and worse. (Better and bette if you want impetous for material detachment).

FMP is going on. Every day about 8-12 devotees.  Spent 3-hours workinng with Dr. Samaresha from India on the letter to Shri Pranab Mukherjee, President of India. We want him to release our next NIOS book when we are in India.
Also, pushing the July 30-Aug2 Education Conference in Houston. Both are coming along well.
We can really see that we are weak tools and Krsna has to do most of the work. We are try to get better.

TODAY: We had our BhVai, on-line class with Yugala and Laksmana, and then talked with Tom Nagel from New Vrndavana, then drove Old Silver to the post office and Express Mailed a NIOS book for this India program, then stopped at Wal-Mart and bought another storage rack for the NIOS office here. Then watched one historical movie, cooked oat water  for Lord Nrsmha dev along with offering of fruit, milk nuts, then mail, mail, mail.

Caught up to three days ago.
O.K.   Pack up and go to NGD home. Maybe walk. Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!!!

AGTSP! Dear Gurudev! Please accept my humble obeisances... thanks for your answer, my husband is fine, with so much work.

We are reading Mahabarat at nights, he love the pandava´s pastimes .... My father is fine too he still goes some times to the Sankirtan program in paseo ahumada, and for the temple too.

About my sadhana, i wake up like 3,4 or 5 times at nights for feed my baby, for example 1 am, 3 am, 5 am, 7 am.... so in the day when i chant my rounds some times is difficult because i feel sleepy....i am praying to krsna, for regulate my sadhana as soon as possible. well i hope you are fine, in your travels, your health, your days in general, always trying to become your servant. Fernanda Leiva.

HpS - AGTSP - Thank you for your news. Why not chant 1, 2, 3 rounds with your baby every time you feed him (Her??)?

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

In the last two weeks we have been working on two major themes: the meeting with the national board and the organization of the August educators meeting. As I told you in a previous post, conversations are advanced. On Monday, we will define the details, asking mainly three points: the recognition of NIMSAR and its members as the institution we are, permission to teach our courses in ISKCON temples and permission for the August meeting.

On the other hand, we are thinking about the objectives of the conference, there are different views which is a good sign, the combination of all views will result in an event that caters different goals.In my personal opinion, we must give more importance to talks and workshops to promote programs that NIMSAR staple organize and coordinate short and medium term. I think education can be used as driver of congregational development and I think NIMSAR can do much about. Education for Varnasrama dharma, you gave the clue of it.

Hoping your health and sankirtan are good.

Your servant

Gandharva dasa

HpS - ASA -  Thank you. We wrote some suggestions for adjusting the Membership and Official's descriptions for NIMSAR. Are they valuable? What are the current, final descriptions of these two things? They must be a part of the the NIMSAR formal description.
ASA has to have a Formal Letter from the National Junta by end of April. Is NIMSAR accepted as a Branch of ASA in Peru and in what way? If not we have to close our our NIMSAR ASA Branch. Also, the BhSastri diplomas are given by ISKCON Peru, not NIMSAR.
If we cannot work out these simple administrative relations then is much more productive that we just go ahead as friends. We can just be visiting Sannyasis.

O.K? ????

Una mas tiempo... last post did not make it through;

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP  paoho... I think we answered this but looking at the previous letters I could not see it.  Hmm.

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

pamho, AGtSP!

Thank you so much for your valuable association…I will never look at molasses the same way again.

The few moments of your association brought more realizations in Krsna consciousness. Now seeing levels of scholarship in Bhakti and becoming less hesitant in associating with school (still know I’m a fool). Your superbly executed classes also contributed to this too, unfortunately there are not many instructors at your level, regardless am going to continue in pursuance of bhakti “buddhi” as best as possible.

Personal exchanges on the platform of sattva are amazing, so much sincere dialogue just escalates more inquiries and confirmations of our life’s purpose. Unlike any other communications from professional discourses to casual conversation…the technical emotions and profound logic in devotional relations need no actual definition, yet they are available.  Our Sadhana programs seem to encompass all facets of knowledge and desire even if we aren’t aware of specifics, got to love that mercy!
 

Also appreciate the candor of your frankness, just enhances the mood of friendship for old and new acquaintances. For me it also helps understanding my own shortcomings and the lessons of karma, even in “flood-pants”. Our individual demise and personal inequities are valid lessons if we are keen on acknowledging them; such is the potency of the science of self-realization.

The “Jaw-Paw” is still on schedule, new service times have helped, though seva is always waiting for me, learning to prioritize a little better now. Still actually need to focus using fingers, mouth, tongue, ears and mind (not necessarily in that order) while getting mantra-cadence. If done I am able to beat my average 10 minute per round mark. Not easy though, was born to run and that includes my mind, just doesn’t stop so easy. What is good if I can get the “reins on d’ brain” may actually get much faster, will keep you up dated.

We’re all looking forward to y’all’s return visit to Houston; Subhra always appreciates your support and guidance. However, she’s not completely satisfied with how management is handling school priorities keeping in mind it is a new project/ school. Acknowledging this, we also remember some of the trials and tribulations you’ve tolerated in this movement, so patience is being invoked. Ultimately, if decision-makers get too sluggish and splintered there are other devotee facilities, we’ll jockey this horse for now…Yee Haw!

All glories to your service, thank you for your valuable time.

Your servant in training,

caitanya caritamrta das, das anu das.

HpS - Thank you!!!!!   Your association is the same for us. AGTSP!    We arrive on the 20th. Just two weeks from now. Seems like Houston is our second base.
