Letters to the editor

Respected Guru Maharaj,

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

As you have suggested, we would be celebrating your divine birth-day festival on 23rd Dec here in Brisbane, at our home.  Dhaneshvari is coming to join us with her parents. And there would be a few other devotees as well.

You have written to Kama-Gayatri Dasi that  your vyas-puja would be On line 6.30 - 8.30PM, it means Tenessee time? and which website? I would keep an eye on kapi-Dhvaja.

I would start program here at 10am, it means there would be-----, I just googled and discovered that Brisbane is 16 hours ahead of Nashville, TN, USA, it means it would be previous day in Tenessee 22nd Dec and time would be 6pm, may be we can have your darshan on SKYPE during that time, thanks a lot, HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

-----on 24th Dec---i am going to mayapur for a week and back to brisbane on 31st Dec, please bless me that I do not commit any offense in holy dham------

Vyasa Puja Offering 2014

His Holiness Hanumat Presaka Swami

Please accept my humble obeisances on this auspicious day,  All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

So much to say on your appearance day, yet words just evaporate

Salutations and venerations await, lacking purpose to elaborate

Sincerity stifled while this feeble mind is trifled, missing pure devotion

While grasping for a phrase or something to say in deep emotion

Realizing all I can do is share Love you have given with care

and hope to do the same with others wandering out there

To summarize, the bliss of the Holy Names cured this soul once

insane and your mercy has kept it contained. Bringing the potency

of His Divine Grace you keep sanity in its place and I am eternally

grateful to you and hope others may also learn too.

All Glories to your service!

Your servant in training,

caitanya caritamrta das anu das

Your poetry is really quite good.
Pray when you chant to get some themes from Krsna to illuminate with poems for specific audiences.
But as some of our friends say, "Even though your poetry is pretty good, right now, Brother, if you got a day-job, better keep it."

HpS - ASA - Jaya!   AgtSP. Si, vamos a ser disponible en Skype desde 12.00 horas aqui, 18.00 horas de Madrid, El Capitol!

I'll follow yours recomendations about you told me in your last email. We are working to be better, but I have somethings driven in to my heart. This is the hardest year in my life and almost all the pain comes from devotees, some of them senior devotees. Only a little pain from no devotees. But I'm not complaining. I have to purify myself. I'm sure I have done so many many evil things in my life and previus lifes, and now I have to pay for that. I accept it. I can't be all day thinking why?. It's clear for me. I only ask your patience, Prabhupada's patience and Krisna's patience to understand which is my position as a soul in this world. Maybe Krisna will let me to serve to His devotees (dasa anudasa).

Thank you for all Gurudeva. I hope you can connect with Madrid on Dec. 23 at 18:30 (Madrid Time) via Skype. I'll have Skype ready.

Please, forgive my offenses. Your humble servant.

Dandava Das.

Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Gurudeva,

I apologize for not having presented the ekadasi report in the past few weeks; I've been busy with work issues (every end of year is a little hell at the university). Henceforth I will organize best so i won't fail. We are very happy with your arrival, the enviroment begins to move and devotees's excitement increases.
In NIMSAR, we have been working hard in recent weeks.The mission, vision and values draft is very important because it allows us to establish a coordination in the subtle plane of thought. It is also useful for the website and as institutional presentation material in the Bolivia and Chile congresses.

This sunday, the final document will be approved and move forward. We are also working in the powerpoint presentation that we will present in Chile and Bolivia, the final review will be in charge of Prabhu Patraka . Finally, during the last board meeting NIMSAR academic agenda was proposed for the next year. It was established the organization of Bhakti-sastri and Bhakti-vaibhava contents in a format used in modern universities, this will make easier the course management. In addition, the courses in communications, management and leadership, deity worship, introduction to bhakti yoga and (maybe) the disciple's course. I'm taking this course with Param-padam prabhu online but I will not be allowed to dictate it, until I have five years of being initiated. We will give you details during your visit. I must assume that you must be very busy with your travel arrangements.

The mango season has begun, I'll waiting for you with a few.
See you soon
Your servant,
Bhakta Germán NIMSAR Secretary

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!!  paoho.  Yesssssss, if you can send such nice reports each Ekadasi it is nice. They can be very short eg. "Nothing happened these last two weeks except for regular classes by ABC and XYZ". Of course, these educational programs can be taken as the most important preaching in ISKCON. We looked at the Nimsar Web page with the Mission Statement through the link that Patrak Das sent by Twitter.
We will have a formal Nimsar meeting January 1st, after the morning program.
Very good luck for dealing easy with your "material" obligations.

HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna. All the reports we are receiving are of intense work for Srila Prabhupada. You can't pay people to work like this, and the work is not just humanitarian, animal mercy, but spiritual.

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri GouraNitay!!!!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Todas las Glorias y mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias a sus pies de loto en el día de su auspiciosa aparación  querido Guru Maharaja!!!

Este año ha sido maratónico, muchas cosas, y muy poco tiempo, disculpe mi negligencia por no  haber escrito antes, esta semana he terminado las clases en la universidad  con excelentes notas y todos los ramos aprobados, ha sido un gran esfuerzo en todo sentido, ya que debo organizar mis tiempo entre las rondas, los niños, las deidades, mi servicio en el templo, y estudiar, gracias a Krishna tengo mucho apoyo de mi familia y de todos los que me rodean, en especial de mis hijos, que siempre desean verme feliz, a ellos también les ha ido muy bien en sus estudios son los primeros en sus cursos y los profesores siempre me dicen que son unos lideres positivos para los demás niños.

Realmente siento que todo va avanzando, pero también que debemos mejorar muchas cosas, nuestro sadhana, el canto de nuestras rondas, el leer y estudiar los libros de Srila Prabhupada, el ser más constante en mis reportes mensuales en el blog, en apreciarlo más a usted y esforzarme de todo corazón en seguir sus valiosas instrucciones y consejos, sé que aun soy una discípula muy neófita, pero espero realmente ser digna de toda la misericordia y cuidado que ud entrega a cada uno de sus discípulos y bienquerientes aunque voy poco a poco estoy esforzándome por mejorar.

Muchas gracias por todo Gurudeva, muchas gracias por inspirarnos cada día con su sencillez y profunda sabiduría, Nrsimhadeva lo proteja en todo momento.

Mis reverencias eternas a sus pies de loto

Alankrti Devi Dasi
