Letters to the editor

Hello Maharaja. It´s nice see yours DTC and letters.

It´s nice remember You. I wish we will be soon in Vrndavana, where all lilas have sense, here is like medium-sense...jajaja.

I wish You have good health.

I´m OK, go ahead, but I miss You and Vrndavan so much, but generally all is perfect, that is what I remember from yours lessons.

I try all time be in vibration with the Holy Names, and the Holy People. I wish see Vrndavan Green and Blue, Black and Red, White and new. Dandavats. Hare Krsna.

HpS - AGTSP!  Dear MO46 thank you for your letter. Your are a mysterious voice in the sky, but yes, Vrndavana is wonderful!!!!!!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri GouraNitay!!!!!!!!!
Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!
Todas las Glorias y mis más respetuosas reverencias a ud Gurudeva en este auspicioso día
de la Aparición de Sita Devi y de Jayananda Prabhu!!!

Espero se encuentre ud muy bien, nos reportamos después de un tiempo... 
ufff!! han sido meses intensos, prácticas en hospitales, pruebas, seminarios,
mucho trabajo mental pero ya estoy saliendo de eso y volviendo a mi centro, 
la vida espiritual, que es lo que me motiva totalmente. Actualmente estoy haciendo 
Bhakti Sastri con madre Yugala Kisora por skype,  
he organizado mis tiempos para poder leer,estudiar, aprender versos y canciones y hacer los ensayos...
 es el primer mes y ya aprendi una nueva canción "Ohe vaisnava takhura" y tres nuevos versos, el 
sistema que ud ha diseñado es tan increible Gurudeva, es muy entretenido y dinamico que 
hasta una burra como yo puede aprender !!!! gracias a esto mi sadhana, mis rondas,
mi servicio en el templo, la asociación con los vaisnavas y la forma de moverme 
en este mundo material ha sido desde una perspectiva distinta y positiva, Yugala es una 
tutora muy sabia, he aprendido mucho de ella, y espero cada semana que sea domingo para aprender
y profundizar en nuevos temas espirituales, esta semana la tarea es ser ENTUSIASTA :) vamos en el verso 3 
del NOI , estoy tan feliz de poder profundizar no solo en teoria sino que en la practica todo el concimiento que entrega
el NOI!!!
Mis hijos y yo estamos bien, ya soy una enana al lado de ellos, crecen cada día más, estoy tratando de mejorar 
Gurudeva a pesar de mi mente errante y aveces dispersa y de la pereza, quiero ser un buen ejemplo para ellos 16 rondas/4 principios ok!!!
Todo Todo gracias a la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada y de ud!!!! 
( en nuestro altar tenemos una foto de Jayananda, recuerdo una vez al ver su foto en el carro
del Ratha-yatra sentimos una alegria y emoción muy intensa, y asi es cada vez que lo recordamos siempre ha sido una inspiración de ENTUSIASMO , determinación y humildad  para mí)
 
que tenga una hermosa celebración por la aparición de Sita Devi!!!! 
Mis reverencias eternas Gurudeva!!! Jay Srila Prabhupada!!! 
Muchas gracias 
Se despide su torpe sirvienta Alankrti Devi Dasi

* en el hospital nos toco estar con los abuelitos, toda la gente muy enferma, ya viejita llena de remedios, y tubos, pense en porque uno se aferra tanto a la vida, y quiere vivir aunque sea lleno de remedios y en malas condiciones, porque no pensar en dejar el cuerpo de una forma sublime, tranquila, en bondad.

HpS - ASA ---- Jaya!!!  Muchas gracias su carta, su esfuerza. No puede apreciar que profundo es tener la asociacion de un devoto iniciado. Vd es cambiando mucho su ambiente.
Nuestra reverencias a Yugala, sus hijos, todos!!  Ya vamos a India!

All glories to sri sri gaura nitai

tlgsp, and my respectfull obeissances to you maharaja.

Thanks for the letter.

yes, sometimes singing my rounds did not come with sixteen , I do not make excuses single job.

I want to ask maharaja as do I improve the relationship with people? I'm very picky and I think they are all ignorant , I apologize but I need your help.

HpS - AGTSP. There are many ways to improve our relations with people. As you advance in Krsna consciousness it will happen. One specific techinique from Prabhupada (?) is that you see what servie people are doing and then you try to help them. That forces the mind to see their good qualities.

and I would like to do some service here in this part of Argentina ( Patagonia ) no devotees where I live , what I do maharaja service ?

HpS - Keep association with devotees by telephone, letters, e-mails, visit them for festivals, do some service together, even if by distance. Then preach according to your abilities. If you make everyone one around you a devotee then you will have lots of association.

not if you remember I am the sister of ter kadamba.

HpS - ASA -- No, we forgot.   So sad.   Please remind us a lot!

Thanks for everything you do . I hope to serve you something, his servant bhaktina bernarda.

HpS - ASA -- Reading the Krsna book?

Esteemed Dandava Das, Maharajas, Presidents et al,
Thank you for your letter. We leave for India Sunday evening and communication will be difficult.

1. We will be in Spain from 13th to 22nd. On the 22nd we go to Brussels for the ISI meeting.

2. Wednesday in Madrid and Thursday the 14th sounds fine for Diksa in Madrid.

3. Can we plan Friday in Nueva Vraja (15th), Madrid Saturday, and then go to Malaga early for the Sunday festival and stay until 20th morning. Then back to Madrid for 20-22 morning?

I'm trying to accomodate everyone's schedule. We haven't been to Malaga so seems we should go there this time and not visit Barcelona now.   Oooof!   Wish we had five bodies.

AGTSP   paoho.
We leave for India on Sunday, May 3rd.  We will be for 6-hours in the Newark Airport and plan to write our BhVai Semester Review Questions there. Then overnight to Brussels, on to Delhi by 10PM. Then we will be based in the Temple in until  2.30AM, 13th May, when we go to Brussels and then on to Madrid. by 1.25Pm On Air Europa.

In India the President wrote that he had other engagements and could not release our book. So we, NIOS, Dr. Samaresh, are now trying to get the Ambassador of India and the Home Minister to release it. This requires unlimited energy: Letters, security checks, finding a hall, flowers, transportation....   Last time we had bleeding and sores in our mouth for three months.   This time maybe we can do it a little better.

So, we don't know what will happend in India. We hope to see you there. You can contact us through Sri Hari Das -

+91 817 162 3460

We want to visit Vrndavana.

Then we arrive in Spain at 1.30PM, May 13th. What will we do???  Initiations for two devotees.  Trip to Italy is cancelled. Lost $154, but seems inevitable. MOE is working as hard as we are.    So, we are in Spain from 13th o 22nd. Then we go to Brussles for the ISKCON Studies Meeting.    27th Back to USA from Brussels.

Mexico:   We sit tight in Nashville from the 27th  May until the 24th of June (hey we are not completely insane. Even 747s have down time).  Then off to San Jose, Boise, Seattle. Still working on that gig.

15th July  plan to come back to Nashville for one week at least. Then the NAC from 29th - 1st August. Then, tomorrow we will book ticket to Mexico on same plane as Lalita et al and stay until 12th. That means we can visit the Monterrey festival and have seminars with Saranagati, Lalita, Krsna-kirtan, about the results of the NAC (Education Symposium) in DF etc.

We will buy the ticket tomorrow for Mexico to Lima on the 12th of Aug.

Then 14-16 I Nimsar Education Conference

We are old. Our eyes are weak. We walk with an effort to stand.
We are only good for giving advice to whom ever we meet as we can.

Any comments on this Calendar. Speak now or forever hold you peace.

AGTSP

paoho

1.11 PM  -  R(11), G 1/3 . . .  It has been a pretty Krsna conscious day.     Our eyes hurt. They hurt a lot now.  That is because we look at the computer and read to much maybe. Have to look at the sky more.

We mowed the lawn yesterday. It is fun. It takes about one hour. First we have to beat on the lawnmower to get it going. Then it roars and off we go. The motor moves the wheels.

The lawn is wth hills and holes so we have to use a lot of effort to turn, lift etc.   Brother Ass feels very good, tired after words.   We also trimmed the rose bush, dead branches.

We do a lot of work.

Today we are trying to contact everyone. We do that the day after Ekadasi. Tomorrow we will do the Banking, Buy the travel Tickets, do our Shopping and Saturdayy is Nrsmahadeva's Festival. Tomorrow is Jayananda's Festival.

He actually grabbed us once from behind. Put his arms around us to embrace us. We were living in Sacramento and struggling like hell to be Krsna conscious. We would drive the 1-1/2 hours to the Temple in San Francisco some times. So, we had just parked our car in the street in the Mission District and were walking to the Temple when someone grabbed us us from behind.

We were amazed. Our body reacted auto-matically with this Karate stuff. You drop down while shooting your arms forward. That breaks the grip. Then you bring your arms back to strike your assailant with your elbows. Because the embrace was light we reacted lightly and didn't punch bruises into s pure devotee, but we were little embarrassed. Jayananda Das laughed.

Then he said that it was really good to see us. How had we been? Of course that question stimulated feelings of fatigue and stress and he immediately sensed them and said, "Please accept my humble obeisances", like anybody who was suffering to follow Srila Prabhupada was worthy of his respect.

The HELL for arranging the Book Release in India continues.   We finally got a formal refusal (polite) from the President of India.   Shoot for the Rhinocerous.   But Dr. Samaresh is like "niscayena" walking the Earth in a human form, so now, even though there is only one week left we have turned the Big Guns of NIOS ( Ha!  Ha!      Ha!

                        Ha!
 Ha!!!)       Towards the Chief Minister.   He has said that it is possible but he has some little bit of other work to do trying to help with the results of the Earth quake in Nepal (that killed 10,000 people).   We are being sarcastic.  We think of our effort as very little, but maybe it is very important.

Draupadi didn't realize what she was born to cause. Probably would have committed suicide if she really saw what her existence meant.

So Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!

We are keeping our 16-rounds, FMP on the Internet.   Bh.Vai with San Jose.   Lots of work for the Ministry. 

We have been making a lot of progress for the end of July Symposium.
We will post the calendar under a different Blog post here.
We have a lot of pain in our waist.   It is from all this work.  Our eyes and waist a   scranched.    In the middle of all the turmoil: Rasa-lila or Kuruksetra, we just have to hold on to Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet in our heart and pray - HK / HR. Krsna will give us intelligence where to put our little grains of sand.
We have answered all the mail up to three days ago.

We won't be accepting letters from 4th - 27th May except from Candramukhi devi and Kunja-bihari Das. Why them???  Because they are bi-lingual, are on the FMP every day, and God wants to torture them. (Ja! Ja! Ja!)

1.34PM  ....  Dr. Samaresh just called us!!!!  ( Midnight in Kolkata and hellish weather (I told him no more news from Sri Hari Das (in Mathura) and that I was catching up on my mail. He asked if I had had lunch, and I said, no. I asked it he ever slept and he said that it was alright and that if I could call ofter 1/2 hour we could do some more writing work!)

O.K. We post our Calendar thing.
We might answer some URGENT letters while we are traveling and will try to post information.

Hare Krsna!
