Letters to the editor

Hare krisna maharaj

Please accept my humble pranam at your lotus feet.
HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Moderately swollen feet.

All glories to srila Prabhupada.

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

Maharaj how are you? Hope this letter finds you in good health and spirit.

HpS - O.K. Just starting to get a headache. 1PM, Friday. Lot of work today.

I really dont know how to say but i am in huge mind struggle maharaj. Please help me . As i had mentioned i am doing my graduation in bachelors of medicine. Maharaj because of exam season and this being my last year (excluding internship) I am not able to chant my rounds . I feel either lazy doing it and when i do it i am not able to concentrate.This consequently makes me feel guily . I can neither do anything spiritual nor can i concentrate on my studies. When i sit to study my medical books i feel like i am wasting my time and that i should chant and do spiritual things . But when i try to do spiritual things i get tensed thinking about my study. My academic life is in mess. i feel depressed and i am not able to balance anything. My exams are nearing . My parents dont understand my spiritual beliefs. All my college teachers and friends blame my krsna consciousness for my failure . I know its not krsna that is to be blamed ...its me only. I couldnt balance things. I feel like i wasted government's money by joining medicine( govt. sponsered seat). Please help me maharaj. I didn't want to disturb you by my stupid problems but devotees told me that only you can help me understand my position. Please ask krsna what to do. 

Maharaj in future i want to help prabhupad in his mission. Is there any service that i can do as a doctor? in future, because i feel my current academic qualification is no use to krsna so i get more demotivated. Please suggest somethings. How can i serve you and prabhupada as a doctor . Please help me understand my situation better.

I am not following 16 rounds currently and i had to drink coffee to stay awake and study for exams last 15 days.my next final exams are going to start from december 2 till 20 . i think i will need caffeine again that time. Even worse demons attack us out of frustration last few days. I dont deserve to be initiated . I couldn't follow you.  I still hope you forgive me for my mistakes . I know i am your worst student but you are papita pavan . Please forgive me and help me.

Regarding your last advice, my relationship with that devotee has improved . I have seen that when i praise him and instead of fault finding in him  find mistakes in me i tend to improve. I realized that i cannot even be .0000001 % sincere like him . 

Please guide me maharaj. I am lost and need guidance from you to understand what i have to do . I cannot leave my studies now. I need to know how can i serve you and prabhupada with my studies. I need your blessing and guidance urgently. Please scold me and chastise me but help me back to correct path.

Sorry again for disturbing you and all my mistakes.Protect me from myself maharaj.

your worst servant

HpS - ASA - Wellllll, let us not expect to solve all the problems of life in six minutes. In contrast we can make rapid progress.

1) Set a standard for Japa that you know you can do. Think about it. If it is one round a day. O.K. Be SINCERE. There is no substitute for sincerity.

2) Get up early and get you rounds. Done. Later take a break from the passion and chant as appropriate.

3) During the day force your self to read a little bit from Srila Prabhupada's book several times, like taking bitter medicine.

4) Most of the other students are in a worse situation than you are.

Write again!

AGTSP!!!!!!    Paoh..o'......    4.49PM here. Getting  d a r k  and spooky outside. It is very easy to get depressed in this circumstance, but the cause of depression is so obvious, mostly the lack of sunlight, so cold outside we can't go for a walk, that we laugh at it.  Also, however, it is lack of association with Srila Prabhupada through one angle or another.

That's it, no?   That's the only real problem.

We were reading the Order and Rule and life of St. Benedict today. This led us to his preceptors and there is definitely cause for respect there.   From broad viewpoint though we see that Srila Prabhupada is able to deliver a very high level of religious life, not from speculation or dubious historical sources, but very clear and systematic. Everywhere all the saints and leaders are mentioning that these are all experiments, but from Prabhupada there is scientific knowledge. If you want good machines, go to Germany, if you want romance, go to France, if you want philosophy, relgion, yoga, mysticism, go to India.

Lot's of work today. Few letters you see. Getting ready for the Kapi-dhvaja. Many things left to do, but now we have to stop and ENJOY LIFE. Been in the cabin for two days now. Maybe we go through the dark in Rtadhvaja-Swami's-Mothers-Car to buy some milk at the SUPERMARKET on the way to NGD's home and have some stimulation while we chant a few rounds.

I asked a Manager at K-Mart, one of these big department stores, how many items they had. He said almost 1-million!

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP! I sent a sample poster. We look at this as the first of a series of visits. It all depends on who becomes our friends, then we can do more and bigger programs in the area of academics and culture.
Thank you so much.

Hare Krisna por favor mi querido Guru Deva Hanumatpresaka Maharaja Acepte mis humildes reverencias Todas las Glorias a Sirla Prabhupada. Espero que se encuentre bien 

En estos momentos por su misericordia sin causa estoy prestando servicio en el Templo de Madrid 

Aspirando ser su humilde sirviente Jagamohan Das

HpS - ASA - TlgaSP. Muchas gracias su super carta pero que haces? Robando bancos para Krsna??? <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" /> Como esta El Jasoda Das

Querido y recordadp Gurudev please acepte mis respetuosas reverencias a sus pies de loto  
HpS - ASA - TLGASP, "Pies de loco"

Espero haya pasado hermosa fiestas de Radhastami, Govardhana puja y la desparicion de Srila prabhupada.k este mes de kartika tan auspicioso nos mantenga siempre entusiastas y felices en conciencia de Krsna. Lei sus rptas a los coments of kardama and Devahuto.very thanks. Estoy tratando de conectarme a japa joe desde el cel pero aun no puedo.

Pense k mis cartas a si correo nunca le llegaron.me alegra que si.esperare sus respuestas.

Tengo la misericordia de sonar muy seguido con Usted.como 2veces x semana.me da instrucciones y me inspira mucho.

Mediteichp en la conversacion con Usted la ultima vez en bs as. y quiero k sepa que lo k mas quiero en mo vida es seguir Sus instrucciones.

estoy tratando de conocerme mas a mi misma, entender porque este u otro apego,asi no lo molesto con mis estupideces. tenemos el veda base en la compu y es maravilloso! El caitanya caritrtamrta nunca pude leerlo y ahora que puedo me inpira tanto! Estoy muy ocupada con gopal y la colecta . a veces quedo exhausta pero las activudades espirituales me renuevan tanto.gopalito me ensena mucho.es muy amoroso. pienso k podria tener mas hijos, me encanta ser mama pero como le dije no tendria mas solo por el dolor tan fuerte al tenerlos.

no soy tan valiente.
HpS - ASA - Pues, de Prabhupada, posible no es que Vd no es "tan valiente", pero es "basante inteligente". Puede ser Tia y Tio a mucho. Hay muchos en el mundo buscando buen Tio y Tia.

Cuando recien nacio gopal estaba tan cansada que debia rondas pero para reciperar la deuda cada dia cantaba como treinta .un dia cante 64 y me di cuenta que en realidad hay mucho tiempo para cantar!

HpS - ASA - Wow! Santa Jalpa prati jalpa!!

Hace poco tambien cante 41 solo necesitaba inspiracion.ahora estoy cantando 22. 18 +2 Franco y gopal +2 mi madre y padre, ellos hicieron mucho por mi. Y x el agradeciemiento stoy cantando por ellos. Franco esta muy bien,canta sus rondas.a veces hace mangalartil conmigo y gaura artik juntos.

Cocina a krsna balarama.administra la economia del hogar y esta cultivando verduras y flores para las deidades.le hace un florero hermoso a krsna todos los dias.es very beautiful ver crecer las flores y plantas.

Con respecto al yatra supe que la madre de madre sushila tubo ACV.ella me inspira mucjo y cuando supimos nos dio mucha pena. esuy activa siempre cocinaba para los programas ye dio un consejo para mi servicio: constancia y humildad. nosotros no vamos a los programas. Son solo dos veces al mes, pero en casa tratamos de celebrar las fiestas y esperamos poder hacer programas en nuestra propio hogar.

hace poco fui sola a celebrar govardhana puja con los devotos y pude ver a la madre y esta en silla de ruedas. hable con ella y me dijo k ra dificil de aceptarlo. ella no es iniciada su nombre is edith. pensaba que si deja el cuerpo puede volver a nacer en vrndavan para terminar de purificarse, tomar inicuacion y volver con krsna porque tengo entendido k un devoto no iniciado no puede volver con krsna ..es verdad?

ASA - Aqui hay muy buen enlace: https://www.vedabase.com/es/cc/madhya/15/104 todo el diagolo.

Siempre pienso k me gustaria estudiar con usted el bhakti vaibhava. debe ser maravilloso. Puedo hacerlo aunque no haya sacado el titulo bakti sastri?

HpS - Es deficil. Bh. Sastri es bueno tambien!

Espero tener mejor internet para podr estudiar con Usted. Very thanks por su deseo de venir a cordoba ahora somos mas hermanos aqui yamuna, ambarish,vrsabanu. pero lo malo es que cada uno esta en diferentes ciudades y nunca nos vemos. jamuna ya termina el ciclo de facultad y espera visitarnos. Gurudev parece que mi asociacion con Usted a partir de ahora sera mas en separacion a traves de sus instrucciones. solo podre verlo en el ratha yatra. no puedo ir a bs as.y tampoco a la casa de  p. Param.este ano queremos sacar los documentos y vamos a trarar de colectar en verano para eso. pero Id siempre esta en mi corazon y tengo su asociacion en mis suenos.solo espero que en esta vida pueda complacerlo y que podamos con franco y gopal a nuestro verdadero hogar goloka vrndavan! Su discipula que lo recuerda siempre y tiene presente toda la misericordiosa asociacion que Ud me dio en peru y donde pude tenerla:Japa- prati-jalpa Radha.

HpS - Hmmmm. Por la misericordia de Krsna podemos obtener oportunidad encontrar corporealmente! Gracias sus noticias. Lea el diagalo entre Radha y The Bee?

Dear Guru Maharaj,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

PAMHO

In our weekly meeting with brahminical comité to the Congress we have discussed the GENERAL MISSION and the KEY OBJETIVES.

We want to know your opinion and We want to know if you can add something that we have overlooked:

GENERAL MISSION of the CONGRESS

GATHER HISPANIC ISKCON DEVOTEES  OCCUPIED IN EDUCATION OR THOSE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING, COLLABORATE AND KNOW ABOUT IT.  

KEY OBJECTIVES

• Creating effective networks among educators in ISKCON.
• To inform and encourage audience participation in the educational activities of ISKCON.
• To publicize and share different current educational proposals of ISKCON or those that could serve the congregation of ISKCON.
• To present perspectives and definitions about the concept of education in ISKCON.
• To establish a communication system with the Ministry of  ISKCON Education through a representative or a  committee of representatives.
• To set date, place and objectives of the Second Latin American Congress of Education ISKCON.
• To identify strengths and challenges we face in the current  Hispanic ISKCON  education and elaborate  practical proposals for implementation.

On the other hand, after this review, we will begin to send a detailed document to our speakers, with these objetives and the mission et al, and we will specify there how long should be every conference. So, according your experience, what is better? To give different timings to different speakers according their relevance? We should to have an avarage  timetothe conferences? Which is the better average?

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Well, yes, you can certainly allocate time depending on which topics and presenters you think need more time. You can even have a round-table discussion at the end with several presenters so that the audience can have more time with the specific presenters as they require.
Thank you so much. Please send us the preliminary registration information as soon as possible! We want to come!

Thank your very much for your attention and time guru maharaj.

Your aspirant to eternal servant

Jagad Guru Das
