HpS - ASA -  Thank you for the news!!! Nectar!  The best cure for addiction is to Chant Hare Krsna all the time you are being forced by your senses to indulge in it. Rapidly you see why you need it!!!!

Hare Krsna dear gurudeva

Pamho AgtSP

Forgive me for not having writen you for so long, i just not wanted to bother you without having something good to offer to you, i even had a insident with a Godsister because she insisted me to write you, i know she was best intented, still i cannot think of the idea of writing you just about my anarthas and lack of push for the movement, or itinerant ideas of my mind.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. A short note: We are stupid but trying, is nice to receive!

Now i have something concrete to speak, i returned to Mexico temple since 31 may to prepare myself to take more care of the devotees that are appearing in Queretaro due to the Bhakti Yoga reunions i told you we started in december, thanks to SP mercy they are 7 young boys and girls which are eager to develop Krsna Consciousness in their lifes.

We have already had a difficulty with a "old devotee" who is very very nescient and does not want to cooperate with temple authorities, he confused many of the youngs there, still we allready worked on that. That took us to the decition to prolong my time in the temple at least until january, because its a VERY HEAVY responsability to try to take care of others when we are not yet very fixed devotees.

HpS - Putana represents the "false guru". Everyone has to face her and get past her poisoned milk by there sincerity. Your young people have to do that also. Of course, I don't know the old devotee. Maybe he is very sincere and confused etc.

Mother Gopi Radha knew i have some english skills so she asked me to do some service by trying to translate the student and professor manuals for the sanskrit course from Goloka education, so i accepted and mother Lalita Gopi gave me copies from the ones you gave her. Each day i try to translate a bit and a bit, please bless me so i can serve your beloved disciples.

HpS - ASA ----  STOP!!!!!!   They are doing BIG translation program in Peru. Through Asta-sakhi get in touch with Patraka or Laksmana or Candra mukhi and co-ordinate with them. You have other service to do.

Sadhana has been very difficult for me, i just cannot manage to reach at good time to mangalaratik and keep awake the whole rounds and SB class... i just can do one or other, or both very poor... like reaching 5 mins late to mangalaratik and half sleeping at some rounds or class... Thanks to the mercy of the holy names, im improving more and more, this week i havent fail to any program, i hope to reach the nicest standard soon

Formally i want to ask for your permission to go to wherever you are for your Vyasapuja, this week i will go for my passport, then if its needed i will go and get my visa, i just need your permission and blessings for this, and then i can make whatever i need to do to get this accomplished.

Thank you for taking your precious time to read this letter, thank you for all the mercy you have kindly bestow upon me, thank you for all the effort you do each moment to keep on the preaching to please Srila Prabhupada, even at the cost of your own health, May Krsna allways have a special place for you.

Your dumb apprentice:

Krsna Kirtana Dasa

HpS - AgtSP. So nice to hear from you!    We don't know where our Vyasa puja will be. It is like 24th or 25th of December. More news soon.

Go ahead with your war on sleep. We have the same problem.

September 9, 2014

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

Please accept my humble obeisance’s, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Here I am flinging-fingers down on the keyboard in hope of conveying significant and meaningful correspondence, revelations and enlightenment only to find me’ staggering n’ swaggerin’ insignificantly.

   ASA - Oink!  Whoop!    WHoop!  AGTSP! <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Toss it to the wind and let’s begin… For some reason the good Lord is keeping me engaged with the needful, even though I know better (HA!). Multi-tasking as ever, the ego is puffing away and sensing accomplishments when in actuality I am doing nothing. Guess such are the hazards of studying Krsna consciousness; one actually begins to become insanely “sane”.

The 16-4 (rounds n’ reg’s) is maintained although sometimes there is a japa break that usually gets retrieved the following day and primarily it is because of seva this happens. Was informed that His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta even commented on this and had adjustment guidelines for seva versus rounds, regardless still keep on as much as humanly possible.

Added for your enjoyment a few writes for ISKCON of Houston. Was inadvertently requested to comment on some recent events here, would have been nice to have some warning… had 24 hours to produce this and then was reminded after the fact that this was a combined article for yet another re-write. Guess I must work under pressure or I’ll take too many “snaps". Once again, Sri Bhagavan is keeping me engaged and astute, anyway enclosed all writes; the final actually did go to publication. Got a feeling there will be more requests in the near future… now what have I started?

Was great to see you in action at the SF Ratha Yatra, even if I couldn’t get a lot time with you, many others did and they were appreciative. Managed to finish the “Chakra” (Pic on file) for Their Lordships and delivered upon my arrival to the convalescent room at the NJP Hospital. Don’t know if the Chakra will ever actually ever be on the Altar, or if it even made past the hall doors, but again… the needful was done.

Glad to hear you’re getting more physical R & R time in Tennessee for God knows you’ll still be engaged everywhere else. Discovering at this later age, one must be most observant of limitations and when the good Lord will extend them for us, otherwise we end-up useless. Never been as busy at any Ratha-Yatra as this year, we were understaffed-overworked, though I did know the job was dangerous when I took it!

Well on to the next meager service, Shyamasundar wants to trim the 22,000 pound Altar with gold-leaf and have a feeling that soon I may get more mental jobs than physical (Saints be praised), probably a good thing…getting a little rusty in this Ol’ living-machine here.

All Glories to your Service,

Your unqualified servant,

ccd

PS: Hope the document copy is readable, was not easy getting to fit

HpS - ASA - Are you going to gold leafe everything!! Or just highlight it with gold??? Thanks for the letter. How is Laddu-rani? Cakra picture is O.K. but won't know about the other until we "post" this one.

   Pamho, TlgaSP.

  Querido Gurudeva, oro a Krishna para que cuide de su salud.

 17 rondas minimo, 4 principios estrictos, cada vez hay más desapego.

 Hay un cambio de planes por falta de acuerdo con las autoridades del templo de Madrid. Les he pedido 3 meses (incluso si es menos tiempo creo que va a ser mejor)  para arreglar el carnet de conducir y el carnet de identidad e  ir a otro templo despues de ese tiempo. ¿Que le parece si voy al templo Malaga?

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP pamho. We know nothing about the Temple except that it is South of Madrid on the Ocean. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />   Very nice to have your association!

   He estado pensando en el futuro y creo que debo de buscarme un sitio para poder estar, hable con Jiva Tattva Prabhu sobre hacer halgo en Madre tierra donde esta Navalakunda, pero no lo veo claro del todo. De momento espero poder estar en los templos y ahorrar. 

    Su caido intento de sirviente.

HpS - ASA - - Be friendly with the devotees. Use your own intelligence but be respectful and take advice from them, no?

Pamho, TlgaSP.

   Dear Gurudeva, I pray to Krishna to take care of your health.

  Minimum 17 rounds, 4 strict principles, there is increasing detachment.

  There is a change of plans due to lack of agreement with the authorities of the temple of Madrid. I have asked 3 months (even less time if I think it will be better) to fix the driver's license and photo ID and go to another temple after that time. What do you think if I go to Malaga temple?

    I've been thinking about the future and I think that I must look for a place to be, talk to Jiva Tattva Prabhu about doing halgo in Mother Earth where this Navalakunda, but do not see it at all. For now I hope to be in the temples and save.

     His attempt fallen servant.

Hare Krsna dear gurudeva! AgtSP, pamho 

Well, i think the best that i can do is wait. It's about time... Meanwhile, I think that i should take  Shelter on Srila Prabhupada again... what do you think ? Anyway, Can I keep offering you some bananas ?  <3

I was trying to understand this sentence but i couldn't.: "you must have been a great Sannyasi last lifetime who was too much attached to a certain girl! This time you have to resolve the situation" I Just thought speculations between the posible meaning  and my actual situation... Can you explain me this, please? 

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP paoho. It is just Monkey and Piggy's wild speculation. Considering your attactment to devotional service, your level of austerity, it seems like you were a Sannyasi in you last life time or B'cari, but then your mind got caught by some Mataji and you were absorbed in that thought at the time of death. Now you have a female body, but now you can understand that attraction to opposite sex for sense gratification described in flowery language is "a real drag"! Even if it is not our Karma we must act on Jnana yoga. Do what our intelligence, Sastra, Sadhu and Guru tell us.

Thank you again and Please forgive my offenses. 

ys, 

Belen

HpS - ASA -- NOI 3. Enthusiasm is more important than Patience. So, be enthusiastic to increase your relationship with Guru - Krsna. Make rapid progress!!

All Glories to Sri Sri Gour Nitay

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to ALL Devotees
All Glories to you! 

Dear Maharaj, I'm Rose, Mexican but living in Lima, Peru. 23 Years old. 
I hope this take you in a Reeeeaaaally good health! 

[Names and place have been changed - Monkey/Piggy]

HpS - AGTSP! Thank you for your letter. This body doesn't have diseases, this body is a disease.

I asked you to write this private message, because I don't really want to write about this in the blog, some people in the past, wasn't "good" with me for things that I said to you in that place...So, maybe I want to protect myself of bad comentaries. But if HH think that this letter can help others by being published in the blog, so, I'm OK with that. 

Well. I want to tell you that here in Lima. I met a devotee; Hare Krsna Das, disciple of XYZ Swami.
 I travelled a few times in the year, to see the devotees, and him. And we decided to move in togheter ('cause I wanted to move here; Lima, and I couldn't stay in the temple because i'm in a relationship with him, and maybe we saw that move in togheter was the best idea, for me, like trying to take a place in Peru, with a solid path...like a support for me) So... Now we're living in his apartment.
 I wanted to tell you about him, because is very important to me, that you can know about my situation.
 Here we have a very nice life together, he helps me a lot with my rounds, and also always thinking about Krsna, doing service, etc. I don't know, sincerely, if I'm ready to get married... But I'm taking this seriously, I've realized that I'm a Grihasta, and I want to serve to the SP's mission, in a family. But, you can tell me what is the best for me, I trust in His Holiness. 

I want to be sincere, telling you this. is waaaay to important for me. Maybe I shouldn't bother you with letters like this. But I considered important, 'cause now, i'm not with a Boyfriend, i'm like with a "Husband". Some friend devotee of mine, tell me that in the vedic literature, some way of marriage is move in togheter. So, in some kind of way, i'm a married woman, I guess. ¿Is true this? ¿What should I do?

HpS - Ooof! Ideal is to live as Brahmacarini for one year and get initiated. Then one year more and get married. There is no "Vedic literature description" of "move in together". But there is "Gandharva Marriage" where the boy and girl exchange garlands. The basic idea of marriage is that the girl promises to help the boy in serving Krsna and have no other husband relations. He promises to take care of her in KC.

If we do something else, then we have no exact shelter of the Vedas and THE WITCH can catch you easy.

Basic principle is to follow the four principles strictly and chant 16-enthusiastic rounds/day. If you do that then eventually things will all become correct. The more details you can add from Prabhupada's books, the faster it will go.
 

Here we have a beautiful deities, Gaura Nitay Sundar, do you think that it would be nice and good to take care of them?(Now they're sleeping)  Because we're living like in concubinate..ha ha ha !

HpS - Yes, definitely. If you want to go from Concubinacion to Grhastha Ashrama then, sincerely, please Srila Prabhupada, Make him proud of his daughter, then They will help.

Excuse my bad english, and excuse if this letter must be in the blog, and not by this way(private message). Excuse my constant stupidity, I hope some day to be intelligent enough to serve you properly, and to serve SP's mission properly. Thank you for let me send you this mail. 
Thank you, thank you, thank you. HH words always are like a relief for my heart. 

I hope some day to become your servant, in this life, or in another. Excuse my constant faults... 
Please accept my sincere obeisances, Maharaj. 

Bhktin. Rose. 

HpS - We will post this on the Blog after we change the name. You can do that. You can open another account with a pseudonym. Eg. Rose of the Ganga, Flea of Garuda... Go ahead. Hari Bolo, escape from THE WITCH! Save your "husband" and his Guru.
