Letters to the editor

Hare krsna maharaj.

All glories to srila Prabhupada

All glories to you H.H.Hanumatpresaka swami maharaj.

please accept my humble dandavat pranam at your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA - Potato feet.

Respected maharaj

Hope you are in good health.   I am very sorry that i had not written to you for so many days. I always remembered you in my mind .Thank you for the letter that you wrote to me in email. I am eternally gratefull that you have decided to take me as a future disciple knowing my problems.

I didnt want to write because i couldn't keep up to the standards . Few days i didnt chant my rounds .

HpS - Then keep track of your debt and begin to pay it back. Chant an extra round each day. We only neglect chanting because we are stupid, no? It will give us all kinds of benefits!

But now i am back on track. Did my rounds and trying to wake up for mangal aarti . Recently i saw your kapi dwaja and ABC Curriculam . I made a time table for myself keeping mangal aaarti , tulsi aarti etc and the books you mentioned in the ABC curriculum in my daily schedule. I am so gratefull to you  maharaj for making it so easy for me and others.

Since i last wrote to you i went to mayapur dham twice. It was blissfull expirience. So many wonderfull things happened there with me. Second time i went during kirtan mela . I  got to see H.H.Radhanath maharaj , H.H.Sacinandana maharaj , H.H.prahaladananda maharaj, H.H. Candramauli maharaj etc .didnt talk with them as i didn't know what i could say . Just paid my pranam and heard there classes. During sivaratri night H.H.Candramauli maharaj gave me his maha Garland iN Jagannath mandir. I also attended the kirtan mela but couldn't see the the panch tatva deities crying ( i went outside ISKCON to take darshan of radha gopinath and get maha garland in gopinath gauriya math....i was greedy for the garland so i missed the mercy of mahaprabhu... should have stayed in ISKCON only, sorry maharaj).

regarding my service . I did book distribution in train while going and coming back from mayapur dham. during nityananda trayodasi and gaura purniima cooked for the deities and also prepared fruit juices for abhishek. by the mercy of pujari pabhu he allowed me to do abhishek of gaura nitai during gaura purnima. About regular service in temple i mostly do cooking when i go as there . Once i got chance to cook for giriraj ji also. 

Recently i heard a lecture that you gave on JAPA from youtube. It was so inspiring . I could really connect with the concept of homunculus and also how we can worship our japa beads and consider them as like massaging krsna's toes. Thats like we are getting to touch krsna even though we are not brahmin . It was such a awesome lecture maharaj. Thank you.

I saw in your calander that you will be comming to india on 6th of may and visiting sri vrindavan dham. Maharaj please allow me to come with you and be with you during that time . Please maharaj allow me to stay in your association. Out of excitement i already booked my train tickets to mathura on 1st may. Maharaj how can i contact you when you arrive at delhi.

HpS - ASA - I guess we can burden Harsh with job of communication secretary. 919910579879, 919930034241. Se you there!!

I have never been to delhi before alone . Will you be having any phone number that i can call and meet you in delhi and vrindavan or your personal helper's number that i can call . 

I am so excited to meet and visit sri  vrindavan dham with you. It was a dream that i aspired for in my heart to visit vrindavan with you maharaj . With your and srimati radharani's grace i might be allowed to enter Vrindavan and that too with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Maharaj i have a request . Can i call you Gurudev from now ?

HpS - ASA - No..... ISKCON rule is only when one is a Formal Refugee. That means following for 6-months and get letter of Recomendation from Temple President. O.K?  Maharaja is fine!!!

Sorry for the long letter . I just couldnt stop writing .

Dandavat pranam maharaj. ALL glories to you .

your aspiring servant.

Mas noticias despues de unos dias!!!

      Hare Krishna Maharaja, por favor acepte mis más humildes reverencias.Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

      Gracias por responder a mí carta, en la cual me pregunta cual son mis ocupaciones diarias. Le diré que tengo 56 años casi 57 pues los cumplo en el mes de abril, actualmente me dedico a cuidar un matrimonio de personas mayores él tiene 92 años y ella 82 y es ella la que más cuidados necesita, los atiendo todos los días de 10 a 16 h y

      luego por las tardes hago distintas actividades ,visito a mis familiares o amigos etc me suelo mantener bastante

      activa. Procuro hacer todas esas actividades teniendo conciencia de Krishna pero algunas veces me resulta muy

      complicado.

      Me pregunta por mis padres, ellos ya hacen años que han abandonado el cuerpo pero tengo una familia extensa

      tengo 3 hijas y 6 nietas, somos una familia de mujeres. Las niñas van creciendo pero nos hemos juntado con  

      todas casi iguales pues en 6 años han nacido las 6 una cada año y un año no nació ninguna pero otro año 

      nacieron mellizas,

      Mi vida desde que conocí la CDK es totalmente distinta, hay momentos que siento que avanzo y otros que voy

     retrocediendo pero llevo todo con alegria pues me siento mucho más feliz

     Me postro a sus pies 
HpS - ASA - Grrrrrrrracias.  Super carta. Claro, si estamos cantando buenas ronda temprano, entonces cualquiere cosa que realizamos va a ser en la conciencia de Krsna, y todos nuestros asociados va a experiementar esta concienca y puede rechazar o accepar. Mejorar su Japa. Lea el SB. CC. Ofrcer puja a sus Deidades. Mejorar sus rondas, ayuda el mundo y despues de dejar su cuerpo ....  la misma!!!

On another note I feel a need to confess a lot of things to you. I held back on all this information because I felt for many years that I could fix this problem myself without doing anymore damage telling others, especially devotees. I've done enough damage already, but who really is my trivial soul in this vast ocean, which itself is like an atom floating in another infinite ocean. I think this letter might be too much, or I'm being proud, but I can't think of a good way to trim it down.

I think 2011-2014 were some of the worst years of my lifetime so far. To be truly honest HpS Maharaj, I contemplated a lot of things, to come to grips on understanding what I wanted to do. I actually don't regret that abominable incident I told you of years back. I do not blame anyone else, if it was a trick of the witch Maya then I am grateful. It's simply a reminder of the fallenness of my position, even if I hadn't committed it.  I contemplated leaving ISKCON, attempted castration to become eunuch or to killing myself and forgetting Krsna again. After years of writing, depression and thinking about my qualifications, I told HDG Srila Prabhupada the last time I met him in my dreams: he encouraged me to become a good servant of Krsna, but I replied that I think it would be better to become a good servant of the devotees. He had a very grave pause, then replied "Yes, that is correct."

I can only say that I'm not the servant of Krsna, nor Radha or any of their associates. Not lord Gaurahari or Nitai or their associates. I find my only hopes and shelter in a place among aspiring to be a good servant of HDG's servants, servants, servants, servants, servants eternally. I rest on the shelter in serving vaishnavas. Overcome all material desires and find that eternal desire to love and serve devotees in my stone cold heart. No more than that. I'm sorry I do not even truly desire that aspiration enough. Material life weaves a comfortable illusion of immortality, forgetfulness and complacency in myself. If I died today, tommorow or however, whenever, I pray that I will not forget this desire, ever.

I'm sorry to confide in you this idiotic and brutal honesty/sentiment from my material mind. I just wanted you to understand where I'm coming from, in hopes I can truly desire to aspire to be your disciple and serve your servants, somehow, someday. I thought confessing this would help for me to increase my desire to serve, get to my steady 16-4, and to be fair that you should understand what I think if I want to aspire to your lotus feet. I respect you greatly. Anyhow I'm just an idiot, I wish I could've and could do more. That I didn't have a stone heart and could really be the servant I want to be. Thats what I hope I'm going to school for, trying to be a better student, finding skills to serve.

I apoligize again if I offend you Maharaja. I'm not looking for sympathy or praise, just straight talk.

I want to humbly ask that this not be published publicly.

Please accept my obeisances at your lotus feet,

all glories to Srila Prabhupada

your aspiring fallen servant,

HpS - Well, we can't do that. Pretty much whatever letters we get have to publish unless people ask us not to publish them BEFORE they reveal their secrets. But we will publish in a different section with no name, but you have a little hearty ness, a little sincerity, so work with that. Go on with your Karma, don't let it bother you to much. Be as much a servant of Krsna or the servants of Krsna in consciosness of their purity of relation with Krsna and where than finishes try to be a good person. Then you WILL MAKE PROGRESS and taste the happiness of satisfying Krsna.

Haribol Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja,

Please accept my obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I apoligize Maharaj, the counter I meant was the one at the little Idaho gift shop I work at. Sometimes I meet interesting people, doctors, salesmen, travelers, teachers and traveling morman missionary sisters. I also meet lots of young great students with bright scholarships, education, future, 3.8-4.0 GPA's.. infinitely better potential servants of his divine graces blessings.  Funny though I made an agreement with these Morman missionary sisters that if I read a bit of the book of morman by Mr. Joseph Smith, then they'd investigate what Hare Krsna, ISKCON is. I think those who go out to teach and preach positively about God for service to their spiritual masters are the best and bravest people in the three worlds.. ... <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />

Killing cows, abortion and super-bowl football.. I can think of a hundred different things relating or like these, in a sense they all pollute the heart. It's funny how for years I've never personally understood what a heart is. In songs, poetry.. etc. No clue what Jesus spoke in the bible or our acharyas were writing, what sastra says about the heart. When I don't feel what everyone else is feeling, I just assumed its some deeper sentiment inside the mind, all emotions/desires are bottled in the mind. Reminds me of a nice test my Psych. 101 teacher gave our class last semester, a chart to color/write where you felt emotions all over your body, to get a better perspective of yourself through understanding where you feel all your emotions.

It seems there are, infact other human beings who have softer hearts that can feel + desire and some maybe like me who also do not (at all or sometimes) ? Thats probably why ruthless torturer/murders are often called heartless monsters. Perhaps Kali-Yuga is the age of real heart disease? Hardening or polluting the heart from sinful activites, thus forgetting it. Then becoming atheistic and eventually losing all compassion for others inside our minds?

I wanted to inquire, Maharaj, if learning sanskrit IS a good use of time in service? I've heard some devotee opinions that we are not meant to become sanskrit scholars, but I felt a pull in my mind that I want to be able to understand sanskrit. So far it's actually pretty easy to read (you can read some derivitaves like hindi/nepali too if you learn the devanagari alphabet). Understanding the meaning of every word and conjuction + grammar is tough though.

HpS - Its good for some devotees. Prabhupada says that Nanda Maharaja could not read nor write, what to speak of the girls. He would hire some educated fool to do it for him.

But the girls, the gopis, new everyitng about the cosmos etc because they went to classes by the Brahmanas, saw puppet shows etc. So it might be good for you. You can get nice study materials from krsnaculture.com. We are using them and starting next Sunday.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva!!!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Todas las Glorias a UD!!!

Queria decirle que le envie una carta para la celebracion de Nityananda Trayodasi pero por lo visto no la ha leido.

             HpS - Hmmmm!   Si era durante nuestra viaje al Sur, no estuvimos leyendo cartas!!

Queria contarle tambien que he vuelto a recuperar mi estandar: 16 rondas y 4 principios ESTRICTOS!!!!! y seguimos mejorando o al menos es la intencion.

Lectura del Segundo Canto del SB capitulo 4 y CC Adilila, capitulo 5. Hermoso.

Quiero contarle tambien que la realcion con Agustin no esta bien, y tenemos que tomar una decision definitiva pronto.      Espero que Ud. se encuentre bien de salud. Krsna es muy misericordioso pero personalmente no tengo la vision para ver esto dia a dia. Me despido. Jahnava devi dasi, su sirvienta. Hare Krsna.

ASA - Que significa la palabra "enzima"?
Eso es el resultado de 16-rondas entusuastas y 4-priinncipios estrictas!!. Podemos ver como Krsna esta bailando en entonces bailar en ritmod con El.
Super gracias sus esfuerzas. Ayuda a otros quienes tambien locos, como nostros.
