Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna,

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

Maharaj, I apologize for the delayed letter. I have been having regular discussions with Radhika Raman Prabhu. He has been giving extremely valuable insight and instruction. We developed some schedule, and he was going to discuss with me proper Guru/disciple interaction. Although I had the intention to write once a month, I decided to wait until I had that conversation with Radhika Raman before writing. However, we have been having other important conversations, and I have become overly anxious, so I am writing anyway. 

I was making good progress with Sadhana up until the last few weeks. Things at home got really rough really quickly. I have opened up to my wife about my deepest demons and addictions, and made some selfish choices. I can't recall ever being that open about the terrible nature of my character. She wasn't prepared for that. Now she is waiting for me to come up with a solution. So I'm trying to find my way out of a lazy/depressed spell. I opened up to Radhika Raman and another senior devotee here who I am anxiously waiting chastizement and undeserved help from. There is another senior devotee in town who I am going to have the opportunity to talk to this weekend. I hope that goes well. I had gone almost 5 months without missing a day of 16 rounds. As always happens, I  dropped into a low point for sadhana, so I'm going to be working on getting back into that rhythm. I reached out to another devotee who has agreed to meet with me once a week to give Bhagavatam class. Hopefully interjecting that class into the middle of the week, and opening up in confidence to these devotees will help keep my sadhana strong, and keep my wife happy. We'll see how that goes. I feel change in the air. 

Your Aspiring Servant, 

Bhakta Adrian

HpS - AGTSP. Wow, you make it sound like you killed 600,000,000 Easter Bunnys in your last life and ate them all with pickled brandy sauce.  Well, it sounds like you are making the right move, get good association. The time frame is individual. Some people advance to Point C after six weeks. Some after six years. We are all individual. All Krsna really cares about is how much you are trying to act like you love Him, and then He can try to act like He loves you. [I geuss He really does love us in any case].
 

Todas las glorias a sri sri guru y gauranga!

Querido Gurumaharaj:

Me estoy reportando para contarle lo que estoy haciendo... ....bueno, desde que usted estubo aqui en Argentina yo sigo aqui en Argentinaaaaa Buenos Aires en el templo. Estoy ocupado en servicio a los devotos cocinando para ellos todos los dias... Ademas conoci una devota para una posible vida de grihasta... no es seguro todavia si ella es la devota adecuada... artistas artistas artistas!!    Me esta costando levantarme temprano (hoy me levante a magalartik) pero estoy cantando las 16 rondas e intentando seguir los 4 principios...  its  a star war! ok, entonces acepte mis reverencias espero que su salud sea buena! hare krsna

su sirviente eterno Syamananda Pandit das

ASA - TlgaSP. TENEMOS que seguir los cuatro principios. No juegos de azar. En la comenza, muchas veces es mucho mas facil seguir los principios en Grhastha ashrama con una devota casta. Eligir una pareja (partner) de matrimonio es como comprar un coche. No espera que su esposa va a ser Devahuti. No, No, No.    Y de otro lado ella no puede esperar par un Kardama muni.

Tarzan y Jane, no, no, no.

Romeo y Julieta, no, no, no.

Lea la historia de Kardama y Devahuti juntos y eso es buen base discuss marriage.
Envias un poco arte. Va a Mangala arati y Gaura-Nitai will help you get an art project for Radha and Krsna.

Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja!!

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Aqui estamos con Pushpa y Vaisnavi en Barcelona.

HpS - ASA - Aparece como el titulo de un buen libro! Why not write it! "Con Puspa y Vaisnavi en Barcelona".

Vaisnavi ya tiene 10 meses, esta creciendo muy rapidamente, es muy hiperactiva y alegre, nosotros nos mantenemos cantando 16 rondas y 4 principios, haciendo servicio en el templo viernes y domingo,  distribuyendo libros diariamente,

Vds son Santos!

...en estos momento buscando trabajo para mantener nuestra residencia legal aqui. En el templo todo muy tranquilo, pocos devotos en este momento, Gundica, Nimai, Aprakrita y Prema Khanda.

Estamos haciendo los arreglos para poder ir a Madrid en mayo, a la finca de Radha Govinda Chandra los dias que usted este alli, hace 3 años que no tengo la misericordia de poder tener su asociacion personal,  la ultima vez fue en Marzo de 2012 en Mexico city.

ASA - <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> Muy bien.

Estamos ansiosos por verlo, presentarle a Vaisnavi y que los 3 recibamos  sus  bendiciones. 

su sirviente, gadadhara gosai das.

HpS - Cuales su relacion con los Santos Nombres? Los libros de Srila Prabhupada?

Oink! Oinnk!    AGTSP!!!    [[[paoho]]]>>>>>>>>>>    Whoop!  Whoop!

6.02PM the cars are all running home. NGD will call in about 15-minutes and we will ride the Grey Tornado over to his house for a walk. He has had about 5-house guests: Aunt, cousins, nephews. M. Matsya has been cooking like a fiend and Abhiseka has gone off for an interview for law school in Kentucky.
Manjari Singh is working and happy. Last night the college basketball finals were on.

NGD watches a LOT of current lectures by everyone over internet.

Today we were sending files and answering and making calls to India until we are exhausted, but that is nothing compared to the work that Dr. Samaresh is doing.

Maybe we will get this book released by the President of India. We need lots of help from Sri Hari, Aja, Harsh.
We 90% finished our BhVai 6.17 work. It is a very, very, very nice chapter. stimulates a lot of thought about what is Karma, who is responsible for our actions. Join us.

Hare Krsna! Hare Krsna!

We are watching a movie theater. We have to step back from the drama a little bit, but not too much or we can't preach.

Hare Krsna,

Dear Gurudeva

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and U!!!

PAMHO

Its 10.14PM, Friday. This time we could get the KhD translated on the same day of release.

Very GOOD news. We are in Holy week. Many people go to church these days, my neighborhood is crowded because of that. I live in front of a Church. Very nice prayers. time to reflection. During this time of reflection and renewal, let go of what we think we "should" do and focus on our spiritual growth.

In This month we close some cycles: Work, university, etc. New challenges and projects are coming.

We always trying to put Krsna in the center of all our plans. Meanwhile we are still fighting to keep a sane sadhana. 16 rounds, 4 principles, Mangalartik, reading more and more. Knowing more about Srila Prabhupada in his books. More association with devotees and trying to see only good in them.

   HpS - ASA -   AGTSP! So nice to hear from you!!!   But, we try to see the good and bad in devotees. We try to help them get free from their bad qualities and hope they do the same service to us. That was like one of your Tweets today.

After 15 years we finally got our Srimad Bhagavatam set... so now there is no excuse! Lets enjoy this wonderful BOOK. Thanks a lot for keeping us in service yours in service Patraka Das
