Letters to the editor

Haribol Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja,
Please let me offer my obeisances to your lotus feet,

    HpS - ASA -- AGTSP!  We ain't got lotus feet. We are still trying perfection to reach. Maybe got potatoe flower feet heading to apple blossom feet! <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" />
 

all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I have not sent a letter in a long time. Today is the first in many months I did my 16 rounds. It feels like a long time, Maharaja, I vowed to you last year that I would follow 16-4 until July 4th of this year and I admit that I have failed in my efforts. Maybe it was because of all the things happening in my family or perhaps I did not desire to fulfill that vow to you enough. However I would humbly apoligize for my failure and ask if I may renew my vow of 16-4 again until July 4th of next year in order to please you.

     HpS - ASA ---  <img alt="devil" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" /> Let's get more practical here in the fore-front. Four principles and four rounds a day until July 31st. O.K? If you do more report it!!

I was very happy to attend Ratha-Yatra here in Boise with the temple, I feel I have not been getting as much association as I should with the devotees. The changes of turning 18, getting a first job, attending college, applying for financial aid and learning to drive have been alot on this plate.

          ASA - A lot for two plates!

I am still residing with my grandparents as of now. I hope I will one day be able to move closer to downtown temple and associate daily with the devotees.

I wanted to say that my first job, I thought was somewhat vegeterian but I've discovered (and sadly had to sell) some fish and egg related products. I do not know if you would approve.. But my family pressures me to get any kind of work experience and income possible and it seemed like the best I could scrape up without working in a diner.

                  HpS - Well, at least its not meat, no! Of course, keep looking for completely clean work. There IS Karma for selling eggs!!

I'm hoping the experience will let me move to something better later on.

I've decided to start again at devotional life but in a (hopefully) different attitude towards it. Rather than following false "guru's" and "disciples" of H.D.G. AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada; and though I have commited countless horrible mistakes and sins in my lifetime that I will never forgive myself; knowing that real love is selfless and unconditional; I have seen from the mercy of Mayapur-Dhama how life is like there and would like to dedicate myself towards serving the devotees and learning to practice medicine as a physician. I hope every day I can come closer to this desire and less from all of my negative/materialistic habits and demeanors. To be the servant of the servants, servants, servants... feet.

I apoligize for any offenses I've made to you physically or mentally and I hope this will meet you in good health. Thank you for all your guidance maharaja. If you will accept my vow of renewal I will do my best to remember my 16-4 every day.

your fallen servant,

Reilly G

Todas las Glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las Glorias sean para el movimiento de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu!!

Querido Gurudeva!!!

PAMHO!!

Espero que Ud. se encuentre de buena salud!

Aquí le escribo nuevamente, para agradecerle su respuesta a mi carta, las bendiciones y por el hermoso nombre que Ud. le dio a las deidades Gaura Nitai ‘’Nitai Caitanya Candra ki jaya’’ Ya fueron instaladas y ya las estoy adorando!

Bueno quería contarle que sigo con mis servicios en el templo en la parte de comunicaciones y en la organización de los bhajans y kirtan.

Estoy  realizando el curso de Discípulos de ISKCON online con Param padam prabhu. Y cuando termine este curso posiblemente comienze el Bhakti Sastri.

Maya esta avanzando y yo peleo día a día . Intento, Intento y espero cantar mahamantra algún día  de forma realmente sincera.

Como puedo servir como instrumento de Krsna y actuar correctamente sin la influencia del ego falso?

En mi corazón siento lejanamente la respuesta! Pero necesito sus palabras y las de Srila Prabhupada para inspirarme y seguir …seguir creciendo en mi vida espiritual!

Muchas Gracias por leer mi carta

Por favor Disculpe mis ofensas!!

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!! Paoho.   We have always been getting at least 16-rounds/day done with sometimes catch up. Frm 1984 we started 25/day. In May 2012 we had this INTENSE symposium in India and were so exhausted that our mouth was bleeding for 2-3 months after. We always got 16-rounds done but could not keep 25, so we fell behind like 5-rounds/day for maybe 75-days = 375-rounds or something. We tried doing 32/day but that didn't work. So now we chant 26/day and catch up 1-day. Now we are 172-behind. Hansadutta said that old rounds are like old Prasadam.

We have to organize a separate Symposium for Latin America like in September or so, no?

Devotees who speak English like you, Pancha, Maha-jana can attend this one and inject it into the Spanish World. Here comes the wave!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Beloved Gurumaharaja, please receive our obeisances.

We need to express to you that in Mexico we are very interested in closely following the project of Education, which is one of our priorities. Mother Asta Sakhi dd, Lalita Gopi dd, Saranagati dd, dd Satyabhama, and your servant Gopi Radha dd, among other devotees of México, they do not have at the moment, the time or economic possibilities to travel to Houston.  However, we have considered the option to support by ASA KIds Mexico, mother Anuradha DD, so she can asist to the seminar. She is Mahatma prabhu disciple.  She is very responsible, and constant in the service she plays in Asa Kids since late last year. We have the idea, that part of the cost of her plane ticket be cover by Asa Kids and another part she would cover it. On the other hand, we want to ask you if there would be any possibility of having some facility or discount in the Seminar payment. We hope not to  be too bold by such request. Also we would have to consider the ticket cost, since these dates the prices rise.

What do you think in this matter Gurudeva? Would be a good idea the option we are considering? Anyhow, we want to let you know, we deeply regret not being able to be attend to the Seminar. But though we are not physically present, our thoughts and small efforts are focused on supporting you in this important Education project. Thank you very much for your great effort Gurudeva. We wish you much success in your preaching.

Her servants ASA KIDS Mexico.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho.   . . .  What has happened to Krsna-Balarama Prabhu?? He was going to participate also, no?     Hmmm, 1) Govinda Dasi is in Houston and can attend the Symposium personally. Try to contact her,  2) Better than going by airplane at this time if it is big economic stress is to register with Mother Subhra Devi Dasi and then attend by good internet connection. It will be in English but should be clear and it will also all be recorded. You could actually put it in a room with a projection and good audio amplification.

For all this contact Mother Subhra Devi Dasi at the phone number on Registration link on the Web-page:

www.jayarama.us/nas.htm

Thank you so much for this effort. Honestly, Prabhupada said that this was super service for his Sannyasis! Govinda is staying in the same building as Subhra. They are good friends.

AGTSP
paoho

Maybe best Ekadasi in a long time. They are very difficult for us because of the heat and usually hard work. Our Buddy, body, starts to really suffer, so today, we just took Prasad as it required:

• Water and 500-ml orange juice.
• Milk
• Subji of Carrots, Celery, little Potatoe and Pnuts.

Now Brother Ass feels well. Day not finished. We almost always do the mail like 5.30PM.

Today is hot but many clouds. Forecast is for thunderstorms and maybe tornados.

We cut the grass today. It is Tuesday, Mars Day, so we figure is good day for cutting. It went very well but then Nephew Lawn Mower died. He is expansion of Brother Ass. Maybe he will recover after some rest. Is HARD but healthy work. Our arms and body ache afterwards. Like going to a gymnasium.

Then listened to Hawaii class while we ironed our clothes and did a PPTX for Friday, SB 2.7.13. Is Karma-yoga for us and we can do too much because our body and mind like it. Then we feel little disgusted because it was not really pure service. So, we try to keep off the Karma-yoga platform and on the Dhyana-yoga platform.

Now we did letters and next a quick bath and off to NGD for evening Sanga.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!!!
