paoho. Maybe we are 87% pure. Running like mad today. Whole world running.

Used siphon we got yesterday. Took gas out of lawnmower tank. Put papers under filter. Used wrench we bought last month to open it. Cleaned it. Prayed to Lord Balarama, He is a gardener, lawnmower started.

Was weak at first. Maybe had to clean out carburetor with fresh gas. Cut the lawn. Muscle happy and exhausted.

Big white car pulled up across the street and back window came down. Young man waving at us. I thought they were Mexican drug dealers. I couldn't hear him, for lawnmover. He came over, 25 years old. Captain Smitty, local police. He said, some people passing by on Medical Center Parkway called and thought you were a convict dressed like our convists, (orange pants and shirt) so we came to check it out. No problem. Your yard looks nice. WHy are you dressed tha way? We are monks. "Oh, Buddhist, I always wanted to ask about Buddhists."

15-more interesting things like that.

Have to go Now for evning walk.!

Letters answered to 4 days ago. 

Little heart stress for all this work.

Now you have to do it.

We'll help, give advice.

Hare Krsna Gurudev - Remembering you

10 years, 11 months ago by Gopal C Biswas in Other

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, You are a very mystic, beyond my understanding. we have seen, how
    you observed at Srila Prabhupada Samadi mandier in Vrandavana, during Mangal
    arti time. It is very difficult and impossible for me to understand.

    Gurudev, why you don't write you autobiography for us. would you please
    write for us.

    Gurudev, Your life is full of mystic things....i have very small mind,
    can not understand. But whenever we think about you.....always found you,
    at a very higher and great level...and feel happy.

    Gurudev, we desire to preach BG.....your blessing required, without
    your blessing, can not do it.we are following your ppt guide.
               HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Maybe we are mysterious because we are crazy. Best place to start BG preaching is with people you meet every day. You can at least talk about Chapter 10, Taste in Water, Fragrance of Earth. You pray and you have chance, and actually you will have many listeners if you continue.

    Gurudev, how can we represent you in day-to-day life.

        HpS - By getting up early and getting rounds done with enthusiasm. I think  you are already do that pretty well. Thank you for the dhoti, shirt and uttariya. We use them for special ocassions.

    Now people start knowing me, in Pune temple, that i am your disciple.....i
    feel proud and very happy, Whenever someone glorify you.

    Thank you so much Gurudev for accepting me, for taking me in your
    shelter....a very fallen me.

    Because of you, i feel 'sanath'. Gurudev, i can not pay you, even if i
    give my life to you.

    I always remember, how you introduce Deleep and the small monkey
    (with banana offering to lord) to me.
    But i did not understand, why you smiled, when the garland petals dropped around you!!

    Few things from last letter....my father retired for last 10 years,
    3rd brother is not a devotee.but visit temple and do some service.

    Thank you, Guru Dev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

      HpS - ASA -- What work did your father do??

Hare Krsna Gurudev - US Plan

10 years, 11 months ago by Gopal C Biswas in Special Category A, Calendar Development

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, May i share your PPT and lectures with other initiated devotees and non-initiated devotees.

     HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Some are for Pada-padma Students, some are just for fun. You can decide. I don't think any of them are bad.

    Gurudev, you had asked about my US plan in Vrandavana this year. I am ready to come. Have attached my resume
    for your review.

    Actually, i want to be with you for at least one year. And need to learn lots of things and have to decide lots of
   things for spritual progress.

    I seek your advise.

    Thank you, Guru Dev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

       HpS - ASA - Maybe some travel for me to India, or you to USA will develop. I have seen Krsna does do miracles. But if not then we will meet in India later next year. Maybe we stay for longer time.

ALL GLORIES TO SRI  SRI SRI GAURA NITAI 

TLGSP, AND MY RESPECTFUL OBEISSANCES TO YOU GM! 

I don't want to write so followed gm im selfish on my part, I know that has a lot to respond to the other disciples and much service, but how do you health? :o

     HPS - ASA --- AGTSP. Well, at least a few lines every now and then. We Really wish that we are in BsAs. How is Bharata Das?

 The word arrhythmia is formed with Greek roots and means "one who has no rhythm" their lexical components are the prefix A-without(negation) rithmos (pace) plus the suffix IA (quality, action)

 But you guru maharaja has pace much! I hope that it will improve.

HpS - ASA - Doctor say is mostly just stress. We try to adjust. Work hard but not to hard. Is just like running old machine. New machine is waiting. Good one if we use this one well.

Guru maharaja thank you for your previous letter ... i can't be more happy when I read your answers! I spoke with the authorities to live in the temple, I am happy, I continue with my studies of music, but I live in the temple.

Be all the days in the pujari with the brahmacarinis i learn a lot, clean, take prasadam, read, sing, dance, we laughed a lot! It is nice! ........One last thing gm why am I jealous? Insecurity is?

HpS - Could be many reasons. Basic reason is because we want to compete with Krsna. Good way to fight it is to help person of whom you are jealous with their service, even a little. If it is small thing then don't worry. General Yoga will remove it.

          Once more my respectful obeisances to you gm!  Trying to serve with bad face.. Ter Kadamba devi dasi

    HpS - Jaya! Let's read three more letters! Thank you. How's Bharata Das?

Paoho...... It is a miracle that we are still alive. One boy came to Prabhupada and Prabhupada asked him how old he was, and he said, "17-years old Srila Prabhupada", and Prabhupada responded quite sincerely, "And still alive!".

It's a miracle.

There are so many ways to die.

Heart attacks.

Auto accident.

Suicide.

Poison spiders.

Old age.

Robbers. . . . We are doing our BhVai reading and our Friday Hawaii class. Then we try to work with the TPP-CBs. Everyone is in a panic for the Houston Education Programs. The Teacher Training started yesterday and our Seminar is getting closer.

Ohhhh!  We are not the controlers. We are petit-isvaras.

                 Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!!!!

We look at Lord Nrsmhadeva and lament for disciples who have gone to hell. We lament for our godbrothers and older devotees who never seem to really have been able to get out of hell.

. . . . . ."Do good to those who hurt you". . . . 
. . . . . Avoid their mindless violence in the future.

. . . . . .You are not the target.

Hare Krsna! Krsna will help them! He will give them His Duryodhana Lila show. Was Duryodhana a senior devotee in ISKCON in another universe who aquired a tremendous number of pious credits, so he got to be Duryodhana in Krsna lila and even he make progress?

Queer thoughts of a demented ape.

Off to NGD Ashrama!

Gracias Guru Maharaja por las baterias!!!!!!YS

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to S. S. Hanumatpresaka Swami. 
Please accept my humble obeisances at the lotus feet of Guru Maharaja. 

This letter is translated with google, also is under the Spanish 

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva, I hope you are well, personally for his mercy'm having many very nice embodiments and this gives me so much enthusiasm and happiness.
learned the Sanskrit word for word and the glorification of the six Goswamis. Srimad Bhagavatam 4 went back to singing and I'm in the cpitulo 7. 

I'm in Buenos Aires Temple Brahmacaris associating with in the previous letter I told him that I was traveling with Panca Tattva to Brazil, but I have confirmed that I will not be able to go. Monday in theory deliver the visa for me to study in India, we will see that ocurre.la idea is to go to the first days of September to Mayapur 

In Mayapur, I am in contact with Sudama Sakha (hps) and Haridas Caitanya (JPS), they are helping me with everything from alla 

thought i was investigating the vegan and have found some points antagonists philosophy of Krishna consciousness and religion in general, I think the devotees who wish to take dairy, this may be right, and makes sense. But I think it is wrong that the devotees are called vegans around thinking what this includes. 

I was also investigating the monastic rule of St. Benedict of Nursia, and Isaias Strip. maybe this made me think that in the future would have to be in ISKCON monasteries clear that as movement preaches, it would be with the same scheme, but this would help in the development of Varna Ashram Dharma that ISKCON needs to mature. 

Thanks for everything 
your servant 
Adi Das Yajna

Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada!!!.
Toda gloria a S.S. Hanumatpresaka Swami.
Por favor acepte  mis humildes reverencias a Sus pies de loto Guru Maharaja.

Esta carta va traducida con el google, tambien esta debajo el español

Hare Krishna Querido gurudeva,espero se encuentre bien,en lo personal por su misericordia  estoy teniendo muchas realizaciones muy lindas y esto me da tanto entusiasmo y felicidad.
aprendi el sanskrito  y el palabra por palabra de  la glorificación de los seis gosvamis. volvi al Srimad Bhagavatam  4 canto ya estoy en el cpitulo 7.

    HpS - ASA - Moooo!   y Bien!!! Hermosa oraciones de Senor Brahma a Senor Siva. Vaisnavanam atha Sambhu!

Estoy en el templo de Buenos Aires asociandome con los Brahmacaris, en la carta anterior le comente que viajaba con Panca Tattva a Brasil, pero he confirmado que no voy a poder ir. Este lunes en teoria me entregan la visa para ir a estudiar a India,vamos a ver que ocurre.la idea es ir para los primeros dias de septiembre a Mayapur

En Mayapur, estoy en contacto  con Sudama Sakha(hps) y Haridas Caitanya(JpS), ellos me estan ayudando en todo desde alla 

estube  investigando  el pensamiento vegano y he encontrado algunos puntos antagonistas a la filosofia de la conciencia de Krishna y las religiones en general, pienso que los devotos que no desean tomar lacteos, esto puede ser correcto , y tiene su sentido. Pero pienso que es incorrecto que los devotos se llamen veganos por todo lo que esta pensamiento incluye.

              HpS - Como yo entiendo, si estamos viviendo en el bosque, tranquilo, como adultos podemos vivir en raizes y frutas etc. Pero ser Brahmanas como consejeros para el Rey, Vastu, y muy fuerte luchando mentalmente con Mayavadis, entonces la azucar y grasa en leche es essential.

Tambien estube investigando la regla monastica de San Benito de Nurcia, y de isaias de Gaza. quizas esto me hizo pensar que en un futuro en iskcon tendria que haber monasterios, claro que como movimiento de predica , no seria con el mismo esquema, pero esto ayudaria en el desarrollo del Varna Asram Dharma que iskcon necesita madurar.

      ASA - Si, nosotros tambien investigando un poco. Prabhupada preguntando de monjes buenos acerca de sus metodos de Brahmacaria y todo en el Occidente, y ellos de India. Ha leido "Imitation of Christ" por Tomas Akempis?

Gracias por todo
Su sirviente
Adi Yajña Das 

                   HpS - Muy bien. Y como esta Hermano Bharata Das???  El Templo? Maha-hari Das??  Claro, hay problemas, eso es el mundo material.
