Letters to the editor

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please recieve our humble obeisances dear Gurudeva.

With great enthusiasm we inform you that we have aquired the Curriculum from the Sunday School Hare Krishna, just as you mentioned us, its a very good program and its a great support and helpfull for a more systematical and professional Vaishnava children education in México.

We are working in the translation and printing of the professor and students manual.

HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna. AGTSP Paoho. I think Mother Priya Sakhi in Lima already has a translation. Asta-sakhi Devi Dasi should know how to contact her or maybe someone else can write to us here with the address.

We will launch the first child's seminar “Watering the seed of bhakti” adressed to three groups by ages: Madhava class (ages 6 to 8) with subject “Devotional practices”; Damodara class (ages 9 to 11) with subject “The material world and the spiritual sky”; Madan Mohan class (ages 12 to 14) with subject “What makes someone Bhagavan?”. This seminary will be imparted by Anuradha DD, Bhaktin Yiyetzi, Satyabhama DD and your servant Gopi Radha DD. We have 16 students already suscribed and waiting for more to join. Its a bit difficult to cheer the congregation, but the kids are the ones that encorage their parents to suscribe them to the seminar.

     HpS - Yes, there has to be conscious effort to educate the parents. Once they understand they are very enthusiastic. The school system is based on four things: Students, Teachers, Parents, Community Support. We hope that someone from Mexico has registered for the Symposium in Houston: www.jayarama.us/nas.htm. I think Govinda from Monterrey will be there. Then you can get information about how to start a lucrative pre-school and even a primary school.

We have been recieving support from the temple committee, even though there is a lot to learn in terms of work in cooperation; regardless our own limitations, we have get a very favorable response from the householders and general devotees. What do you think Gurudeva? By now its what we have to offer to you, waiting each day to get better into our service, even if its not too much and to become an instrument of your preaching labor. Thank you very much for your time, and we beg for your blessings for accomplishing this service in the best way we can. His servant Gopi Radha Devi Dasi.

HpS - ASA - Very, very nice. Srila Prabhupad is very happy to hear of these efforts. He said that Sannyasis should teach the children like the Christian monks. Our comments are above. Please go on like this more and more!

We were not born to be happy! 6.34PM. Another nice person riding by on his bicycle. We have to get our literature out on our mail post. They will take it. We get ideas coming. Little by little we see a good plan for advancing our Sankirtana. We learn to overcome our fears and anxieties. Fear is a sign of intelligence. Only a fool accepts things blindly. But real knowledge removes fear.
Hot here, but our fans are O.K. Lot of stress for our body, but air conditioning can make you just fall asleep. Heat and stomach pains make you realize that progressive austerity is the ONLY correct path in this world. Being happy here means you are in Maya. She's getting you ready for the slaughter house.

Today, 45" talk with Laksmana in Peru, About 2-hours working on our SB 2.7.7 powerpoint for Friday. We had the idea that we can do the same PPTX in the evening at NGD's home on Friday night also. Have to concentrate our service. Then we will feel satitisfaction. Engage all the time, INTENSELY, with broad strategic implications. (NOI-8).

Then we worked on Radha-Krsna Das' PPTX for the symposium, then Japa. Then here we are. Did about seven letters. Caught up to about a week ago. Scan for more URGENT ones. 
O.K. off to NGD's house. Radha-ramana Swami is there. He is our hero. He was one of the directors of the Vraja-mandala Parikrama. He used to go with his family to Vraja when he was 5-years old and there were not even ox cart paths.
So, many cultural assets.
Hare Krsna!!!!!! 

Hare Krisna, Dear Gurudeva. Please accept my humble obeisances, dandavats. AGTSP.

Thank you for your answer, Gurudeva.

We have much to learn ....

In a few years we'll see all things with better perspective than now and I'm sure we'll laugh while we're chanting Hare Krisna toghether.

Now let's go to work, work, work for Krisna.

Thank you Gurudeva, thank you.

Your humble and fallen down servant, Dandava Das.

  Pamho, AgtSP. :)

   Muy querido Gurudeva. Espero se encuentre bien de salud.

   17 rondas minimo. 4 principios. Servicio a Sus Señorias. Estudiando algunos versos de Bhakti Sastri y adoración que me queda por aprender. Intentando ser más constante en la lectura. De momento tendré que seguir soltero, ya que hablaron con la  devota y no queria casarse.

  Estuvieron los representantes del ministro de adoración. El Señor Nrisimhadeva se tiene que acostar. El estandar de Sri Sri Gaura Nitai tambien tiene que subirse, y esto que tiene que decidirlo el consejo. Personalmente pienso que tienen que conseguir un equipo de pujaris, para poder desarrollarlo ya que no pueden canalizar todo sobre un devoto; ese devoto puede abandonar el cuerpo, enfermar etc y el servicio quedaría sin hacer. Por lo tanto creo que deberian buscar algun pujari que no sea de la congregación...(puede ser dificil pero si no se intenta)
    HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. www.translate.google.com Actually the Pujari work is the responsibility of all the Grhastha's in the community. It is not a profession that one person does to earn his livelihood. All the married people should cook for the King, make clothes etc. If they don't use their strength for that they are 100% guaranteed to falldown.

   Las Deidades se dan por instaladas. Tengo compromiso con el templo de Madrid hasta agosto del año 2015.

 Esto es un resumen de las cosas que se deberian implementar en la adoración.
Acostar: Quitar el vestido del día, y poner pijama.
Despertar: Ok.
Mangala Aratic OK. Con pijama. Coronas de sencillas, o turbantes
sencillos.
Baño: de acuerdo a Arcana Padati.
Govinda, con camara. Tomar caranamrta.
Guru puja. Fuera 5 a 10 minutos. Armarito empotrado en la pared de en
frente.
Ofrendas: dos platos. Guru parampara y Deidades. Dupa Aratica en las
ofrendas que no hay aratic después. Incienso, flor y camara. 8 minutos.
Sundara aratica: 1 ofrenda, leche, fruta, dulces con algo de grano, 20
minutos.
Poner Tulasi y pasta de sandalo en las Deidades Grandes y pequeñas.
Cosas para delegar: guirnaldas diarias para las las pequeñas y para las
grandes.
Cambiar sabanas una vez a la semana.
Una vez al mes maha limpieza. No se requiere 1ª iniciación, solo buena
disposición. Solo entraran para limpiar altar, armarios, ordenar
parafernalia, sin tocar Deidades y sinhasana.
Una vez a la semana pulir parafernalia.

  -En agosto me voy al templo de Malaga, Gauranga Lila DD y Abhimanju Prabhu han dicho que me dejarian entrar en el altar si usted me da sus bendiciones.

  -En una ocasión hace tiempo me dijo que adelante con segunda iniciación. Creo que estoy totalmente incalificado, pero estoy dispuesto a afrontar esa responsabilidad, pienso que es bueno para realizar el servicio y asi poder calificarme. Hable con Dandava Prabhu y me dijo que hable con usted. ¿hay alguna manera de poder hacerlo ahora? ¿es mejor esperar?. ¿Que piensa de esto Gurudeva?.

   Pobre, tonto, ignorante. Tratando algún dia de poder servirlo: Jharikhanda-gaura Das.

Pamho, AGTSP. :)

HpS - ASA - What time are you getting us daily? Do you have nice study program for SB etc? Nice pictures. Ask Gaura-Nitai what to do. You are serving Them, They are very, very grateful.

All Glory to Srila Prabhhupada

All glory to Sankirtana movement by Srikrishna Caitanya

Dear gurudev:

Please acept my humbles obeisances.

the past days I visit devotees on Queretaro, Uruapan, Monterrey and Guadalajara

on Rathayatra comittee I have the service to make the public relations.

On Monterrey ask  to me make the preaching program, what do you think about?

               HpS - AGTSP . Paoho. Seems like it would be good!

 I'm chanting the 16 rounds every day and try to do not offences, and follow the principles.

     HpS - AGTSP!!! You are going to Goloka. You and Satyabhama and Marco can all be peacocks in Vrndavana and dance together in step to Lalita's drum. Oooomp!   Pahhh!    Ooooomp!    Pahhhh!  Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna....  ! ! ! So much fun.

your servant Aniruddha Krishna Das

Tell us the results

Hare Krsna Maharaj, Dandvat Pranam, AGTSP
Its only by your mercy , that we are trying to move towards aim of life. Its majorly light reflected by your mind and intelligence, that we can see our faults and progress.

     HpS - ASA - And we can say the same thing about Srila Prabhupada and our efforts. We hope we can stay out of the way of his light so that we don't block your access.

We have been updating Urmila Mataji about developement on householder front quite regularly.
We discussed about “association” with her a lot.
She mentioned association is of two types (i) physical (ii) vani,
It may be due that our offences we are not able to get physical association.

Conclusion was we have to focus on Vani association and hope physical association may come if we are sincere.

We also see that we do commit offense 1, as we have very evaluative mentality. We are focussing more on self evaluation, and things are becoming smoother

In the last two letters you have stressed importance of  association.
i) Follow Lord Caitanya's instruction, example to chant a fixed number of rounds on Japa Mala. Read Prabhupada's books, all in association of devotees.
ii) Illict sex is usually a community problem not a private problem.
Now when you say association in above advices, were you referring to only physical association ?

HpS - Physical association has little or no value unless we are associating with the persons mental life. A cockroach may be on the throne of the King but that does not mean that he is an intimate associate of the King. Unless we talk with people, know their mental life, then we might just as well be associating with a clothing store dummy, no?

PhD
Our PhD guide/advisor has become Head of Department, and lot of other developments happening on the same front . We may complete PhD in two years time.

Resource
i) Sacisuta Pr has taken excerepts from SP lectures and made Prabhupada Wisdom Series for every topic. here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpd2L_0pfzA

HpS - Ha! HA! Hare! Sounds like the Vanipedia project. We will look at the link, but also remember that Srila Prabhupada said, that even in one hundred years you could not read his books thoroughly.

ii) Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis, tells us about various tricks of Maya in day to day life of comman man, link http://bookzz.org/md5/161FC33AB996179CE1E3037D7DE27397

HpS - Yes, we read it also! Thank you!

regards,
bh harsh..

hope we can help you.

HpS - Remember Harsh and Hare both start with Har!! Let's go to the next letter!!!
