Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka,

please accept my humble obeisances, All  Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Have made a poem offering, inspired by your request. Have no real experience in poem writing, so please excuse my crudeness. Was fun to do, but took some polish to get it at least tolerable.

Wiil keep in contact as time permits, we have so much to do before Houston and we even pushed the move date to the 1st of June. Though Subhra will be there in March and April for meetings. We cna get more specifics if you like.

All glories to your service,

your servant in training,

Land of Holy Basil, blooming in bliss

may we receive your gentle kiss?

Strife and turmoil in this life of no trust

 we hold your sacred soil,  praying to roll in the dust.

Land of Holy Basil, sweet flowers and subtle perfume,

may we blossom and swoon with you ?

Forever and more, seems we’ve been in a bad dream,

release us from this spinning scene; bring us to your fields of green.

                     Land of Holy Basil, with rivers, hills, trees and cows,                         

may we sing to the Maidens who tend the dairy now?

We suffer in a realm so stagnant and stale,

  please dear Maidens share us the nectar from your pail.

Land of Holy Basil, there are sounds of a flute so clear,

may we ask, is it the Boy of Blue … filling our ears?

His song enraptures, captured, we’re now His prize,

 Oh Land of Holy Basil, now we smile with tears in our eyes.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya! ! ! !   AgtSP. Very nice. A moments vacation to Vrndavana Dhama. We certainly hope to hear more, more.

Vyasapuja offering

Hare Krsna Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,

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

I mentioned in my previous post the vyasapuja ceremony we held for you in Denver.  It was very nice.

I very much appreciated how you connected aspects of japa with the homunculus.  I never knew that japa engages the largest sensory areas of the brain in such a way, and that is a practical scientific way to show that japa helps to fix the mind on the names in many ways.

I think it is very valuable how you connect the intellectual and philosophic with the spiritual to make it practical for some to begin to see the spiritual reality from the sankhya platform, so that they may further see beyond it.

As far as I have seen, you have mastered the art of preaching according to time, place, and circumstance.  At colleges, it is Sankhya only and strictly.  At large gatherings including those new to the movement, you preach to what their hearts can accept.  And to close gatherings of devotees, we may hear the mercy of deeper realizations.

I feel very blessed and eternally lucky to have had your personal association and the chance to serve you.  You are indeed the ocean of mercy, and ecstatic prema emanates from you, that is how it feels being in your presence.  As far as this fallen soul is concerned, you are the savior of mankind.

I do not feel qualified to serve you or to do anything good, but somehow or other, by your mercy, I hope that I can someday help people become Krishna conscious -- starting with myself, by your mercy only. I would not be where I am now or as fixed in my mangala arati and service without your mercy and inspiration, but I can only try to express my gratitude.  I met you when I just began recovering from a traumatic experience where I could not eat and nearly left my body.  I am much better now and hope to continue to improve, that is the mercy of guru.

Hoping to remain at your lotus feet to become less fallen,
Bhakta David II

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. We see your descriptions of our qualities as things we should aspire for and maybe manfesting a little now by Srila Prabhupada's mercy.

Thank you.

We hope you are successful in find how the Sadhana can make your ability to follow 4 principles and 16 rounds everlastingly y.

Monkey and Piggy here!

We're raising hell as usual, for Krsna.

Brother Ass feels like he wants to vomit. He always has trouble with his eyes now, but he got his Tweeter.com address going today and sent his first Twit by SMS with the help of Uncle Gismo.

We also talked with Dr. Samaresh, Hari-lila Das, Sri Hari Das and you can see the Blog letters.

We do a lot of little things every day. Hansadutta Das said that we and others were amazing that we could keep so many things in co-ordination but... we gotta write.

After this trip to India we are 99% finished with administration. We give visions, introduce people and WRITE. If you want to take Sannyasa from us or become a Guru you got ten years to do it. Ha! Ha! Ha! Better start today.

Dr. Samaresh says that if we stick with him, within three years NIOS will be the most famous institute in the world for Oriental studies of Lord Krsna with His mighty Cakra in His hand is permiting.

He is wonderful. India is wonderful. Raktaka Das and His Wonderful Family and wonderful. Madhumanjari, CMDD, Jamabavatiiiii..... 

. . . Hare Krsna, ooooO Ooooo (Sri Guru Carana Padma).

Now we have little Kirtan and read about Advaita thakura with Tandavika, M. Meena and Musa and Kusa!

NitayGouraPremanande!!!Querido y siempre recordado Gurudev,

por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!

orando a Krsna para que esta carta si llegue a sus manos y pueda recibir su misericordiosa respuesta, la Marathón de Prabhupada fué muy especial, pues, tuve que combinar la distribución de Libros con el tratamiento en la Clinica Dental, trasladandome desde la ciudades del fuego del Sankirtam al D.F.  una vez a la semana, estos desplazamientos  interrumpian de 2 a 3 dias la distribución de Libros, era una ansiedad para mi espiritu pasional, mi mente explotaba, pero, recordaba su indicación de dar prioridad a mi Salud, y un suspiro de Esperanza llenaba mi corazón en no decaer en la negligencia de la Distribución de Libros,

por su Misericordia sin causa el Entusiasmo no decayó, la Compania de las Deidades NitayGouraCandra eran la alegria del Lugar donde llagabamos, tuvimos unos pequeños programas de Prédica en Casa del Dr. Kenneth León en Jalapa, y tambien en Veracruz, en la últimas Semanas visitamos Puerto de Veracruz y Acapulco, era época de Vacaciones, y los Turistas llegaban a estos Lugares en busca de diversión y gratificación de los sentidos, me repetía una y otra vez Bramande Bramite Kona B.....   que todas las almas afortunadas puedan tener la oportunidad de tener contacto con el Devoto Puro "Prabhupada"   ocurrían cosas maravillosas:

en medio de la Gratificación de los Sentidos (Godasa) muchos se llevaban un Libro que les hablaria de como ser (Goswami) entonces, podia percibirlo a Ud. Querido Señor y Amo que era ud. el que estaba distribuyendo los Libros,y yo sólo era el Burro que los traslada, estoy muy feliz de que mi Amado Amo me permita hacer Servicio, Los resultados fueron;      M. Venurati d.d.  1,001 Libros Chicos y 33 BG (pocket)

                                            M. Jambavati d.d.  1,472 Libros Chicos , 27 BG (pocket) y 1 col. C.C.

       el poder purificador del Sankirtam Yajña se manifiesta siempre y me dió la oportunidad de afrontar unas pruebas muy dificiles, solamente puedo recordar sus palabras cuando alguna vez ud. me dijo:

si tus Lagrimas son por Krsna yo te las acepto, si nó tus lagrimas son solo por tu Ego,  

entonces pienso que tengo mucho trabajo interno que realizar, poner en práctica el verso del BG  "Mantenerse Ecuanime en el Honor y Deshonor....." Amado Padre le oro a sus divinos Pies de Loto para realizar en mi Corazón "que todo lo que Krsna permite es para nuestro bien"  Golokera Premadana Harinama Sankirtam....  

                                                                            Radhe, Radhe, Radhe.....

su inútil y torpe Sirvienta

m. Jambavati d.d.

HpS - AGTSP. Pfanrh.   Desculpa demurra responder a esta carta. Presion INCREIBLE terminando viaje por Sud America. Super resultados. Aun nosotros peros pueden bailar en ecstasis. WooF!   Woof.

Y hablar de educacion con Krsna Balarama Das et al, y Gaura purnima con Radha Madana Gopal.
Mas noticias. Como esta desarrollando Sankirtan con su cuerpo actual?

Hare Krishna Dear Guru maharaj,

Please accept my humble obesciences, All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

Belated birthday wishes maharaj, I have been thinking about all the moments we talked and the communications through the emails. I feel really blessed in that aspect that you are patiently guiding this way ward soul with love. I sometimes feel that I dont have that much love as some other desciples of you like Srinivas Acharya das(a close friend of mine).  I think I have a lot of false ego and I try to find the satisfaction and this eventually is making me not love with deepest of feelings. 

I wish I could have helped more actively in book distribution and temple service. I mostly try to clean the temple prsadam hall once a week and sometime occassionally contribute financially to the temple. I keep in touch with the devotees and try to associate them on the phone and internet.

I have not been eating Onion/Garlic for a while now and have been eating mostly satvic food. Reading Chaitanya Caritamrita daily and Harinam.

When I read books, I feel gratitude for what Lord has given me, but somehow I get a lot of questions on veracity of the facts ssometimes.

Please bless me so that I can serve you directly and indirectly and do the things which satisfies you

Please keep this fallen person in your mind and keep blessing me with your grace.

your aspiring servant

Nataraj

             HpS - AGTSP Please write to us about some of the Facts you question!!  We are amazed at your sincerity. You must have been a Pujari in a Temple in India in the 19th century in your last life.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru maharaj

Please accept my dandavat pranams, All Glories to Srila Prabhupad. I am seriously interested in taking initiation from you maharaj and that is the main reason I am abstaining from Garlic and Onion (which are quite dear to me). I have taken a contract job last year and I am working long hours in the job. Sometimes I have the zeal to be respected in the society by earning money and that social satisfaction will make me blinded to the spiritual needs of constant association and guidance.

Thank you for the guidance you have given in your question. I am sorry that I forgot to even send my Vyasa puja offerring in the process.  I will send the vysa puja offering in a seperate email. Thank you for your constant guidance to this way ward soul and belated birthday wishes maharaj

your aspiring servant

Nataraj

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. All I can say is that any interest in taking intitation from "me" is an interest in taking initiation from Lord Nityanaanda, and that would seem to indicate that you are a Mad man.But what can be done???

If you get the mercy of Lord Nityaananda you will probably develope a mortal allergy to Ghar Lick and Un Yuns. After that He will erase your face and leave only with Vrndavana Dhama.
