Letters to the editor

AGTSP

paoho

We have answered all the letters and especially the URGENT ones up to 6-days ago. Little slow. As soon as we catch up oin one area we fall behind in another.

Have to be more intelligent on how to follow all the principles of Sadhana Bhakti. Not stronger. More intelligent. Have to chant HK/HR more constantly.

Health is good. Work is on schedule. Tomorrow we have Skype at 6AM with Rama giridhari Das and M. Urmilla. We are daily in Japa Joe and at 5AM we get our class on NOI on English or make it up later in the day. We are doing Tweets. Friday is Ekadasi. Saturday is our Bhakti Vaibhava test. We are finishing our essays. Next is Jung!

AGTSP , HARE KRISHNA MAHARAJA! accept my respectful obeisances,
It's camilo again,thanks for answer me.  I have readed that very important article.
I'm trying to chant 16 rounds every day and follow the 4 regulative principles, no excelent rounds, but well, i'll still chanting trying to improve the meditation on Krishna and trying to read Srila Prabhupada's books every day if it's possible.
I would like to attend mangala-arati, SB class,etc.,  but i'm really far from the temple (40 Km approx).

              HpS - agtsp! You can have it in your own home!
I go there on weekends and at big festivals like Gaura Purnima,etc, and i do sankirtana on sundays. This sunday I will join to the Bhakti-Sastri course.
i'm studying English and looking for a job and a flat to rent around temple o something simlar if it's possible, at the moment i'm living with mom( i know it's no good to my spiritual life, so i'd like  to leave this enviroment asap).
So I 'll wait for your answer. Thank you Maharaja! 
AGTSP ,PAOHO! 
Ys, Camilo.

               HpS - Yes, get up early and get your rounds done!  Send us more news in a few weeks.

HpS - Thank you for the following letter. I also think that Pablo is ready for Hari nama Diksa! Please send his birth date and full name. Then we can fix a date for initiation.

Hare Krisna, querido Gurudeva. Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, dandavats. Todas las Glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

Ante todo espero que se encuentre bien en todos los aspectos.

El motivo de ponerme en contacto con usted es de informarle que, tras haber hablado con Bhakta Pablo, él me ha expresado su deseo de tomar refugio en usted y que así mismo se lo ha manifestado a usted también.

Le he preguntado por los requisitos para poder tomar iniciación:

• Cantar un mínimo de 16 rondas.
• Seguir los 4 principios regulativos:
  • No comer carne, huevo ni pescado.
  • No tomar intoxicantes, como café, té, sustancias estupefacientes o alcohol.
  • No practicar sexo ilícito.
  • No participar en juegos de azar.

Me ha manifestado que desde hace un año los sigue de manera rigurosa.

Actualmente no está realizando ningún servicio en el templo de Madrid, pero si ha pasado unos días en el mismo haciendo servicio. Durante este tiempo su comportamiento ha sido impecable y muy servicial.

Me ha manifestado su voluntad e intención de estar bajo las autoridades del Templo de Madrid.

Por mi parte le he invitado a pasar una temporada en el templo de Madrid, con el fin de que pueda tener asociación con los devotos, se una al proyecto de Madrid, en la medida de sus posibilidades y pueda hacer Sankirtan en Madrid. Va a estudiar la propuesta.

Con toda humildad  y si usted no ve inconveniente, por parte de las autoridades del templo de Madrid en general y mía en particular, como presidente de ACK Madrid, no hay inconveniente alguno en que, cuando usted lo considere oportuno, de iniciación a Bhakta Pablo. Sería un honor contar con un hermano espiritual más en nuestra gran familia de ISKCON.

Muchas gracias por todo.

Su humilde servidor, Dandava Das.

----------- ENGLISH LETTER -----------

Hare Krisna, my Dear  Gurudeva. Please, accept my humble obeisances, dandavats. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

First I hope you’re fine in all aspects.

I want to contact with you to inform you that I spoke with Bhakta Pablo some days ago, and He said me he was desiring to take shelter in you. He said you this some time ago.

I asked him about the principles to take shelter:

• Chanting mínimum of 16 rounds.
• Following 4 regulative principles:
  • Don’t eat meat , eggs or fish
  • Don’t take intoxicants like coffee, tea, drugs or alcohol.
  • Don’t have illicit sex.
  • Don’t play gambling.

He said me He’s following strictly this points from one year ago.

Now he doesn’t any service in Madrid’s temple, but he was in Goura Purnima doing service and his behavior was impeccable and very helpful.  

He said me that he wants to be under the Madrid’s Temple’s authorities.

I invited him to come in Madrid’s Temple for a season, taking devotees’ association, developing the Madrid’s project with us, if he can, and doing sankirtana in Madrid. He said me that he’ll think about the proposal.

Humbly and if You don’t see any problem, we haven’t inconvenient to You give initiation to Bhakta Pablo, when you want to do it. It would be an honor to have another spiritual brother in our GREAT ISKCON FAMILY.

Thank you very much for all.

Your humble servant, Dandava Das.

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp
in http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/4100
you asked us about our thesis work.

its actually not going well, we had change guide a year back, and now there is shift of topics every now and then.. so we have not finalized the topic yet.

we can see in intellectual work , only clear intelligence helps, which requires one to be in mode of goodness..
we intellectually agree that enthusiastic chanting , 4 rules, mangal artik, SB .. should be our first priorities.. however practically things are differenet. we seem to be faith less and insincere rascal.

but by  your and mother Urmila's instruction things are becoming better.... we r starting to  focus on how we respond in compaisrion to what happened to us or what people did to us....... this is a big step for us... even more imp than PhD degree.

we hope things will be fine, we would be able to give you better picture of thesis in coming time.
regards,
harsh

    HpS - ASA -- Prabhupada told B. S. Damodara Swami if you just sharpen your intelligence on BG and SB then you will be able to take all the research and facts that people already have and explain them in a better way!

All Glories to Sri Sri Gauranga Nitiananda!
All Glories to Patita Pavana Srila Prabhupada!
All Glories to You!
All Glories to devotees.

Please accept my humble obeisances to your feet. 

Dear GuruMaharaja:
                                        Hope your health is ok. :)
I follow my initiation vote, thanks Krsna, Srila Prabhupada and you. I can stay fix, sometimes is hard get done my rounds but follow your instruction about priorities and fix it quickly and 4 pples ok. I think Krsna bless me and I fell so fortunate to be here in KC and it's my impulse to keep on, working things. Keep working about sincerity, feelings, attachments... I just depend on your mercy... nothing else can help me.. 
I try to keep occupy in service to Krsna. Japa, deities, reading books. And Maya of course :S

I have no answe of my annual disciple report. Tell you because u say u can't see which one was answered. :o)
Why sometimes we have some expectations about situations, and when we get it, we keep unhappy?

    HpS - Don't know. AGTSP. Maybe because we desired something limited. If we ask for benedictions we should ask for infinite benedictions!
 

I keep reading Bhagavad Gita, "Surrender to me" (Bhurijana P) and start to read "Teachings of Kapiladev" to understand more deeply your answer of my previous letter about Devahuti and Kardama Muni. I have read the SB verses thats talk about that too. I have a project to enforce your preach instruction. Keep seeking workgroup. 
GuruMaharaja this world is really bleak for me.. I really want to back home, thank for engage me in KC. To be sincere I'm really afraid you leave me here. Sorry, for say it, but is what I feel.
I have no more news. Thanks for you time, thanks for association and for be a a explample of life.
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

Your disciple who want to be your servant
Rati-Manjari Devi Dasi

                  HpS - AGTSP.   How do you see Vrndavana Dhama reflected in Buenos Aires? Is there any value in Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges?

Nice fotoes!!!!!

 AGTSP !

Please accept my humble obeisances

Dear maharaja

Such good news how you are establishing an office and ashrama in Murfreesboro TN !     and going to Wash Dc !

We wrote a letter a couple of weeks ago but can't find it in our track record here, may be it got lost of squeezed by digital techtonics,  but just in case it survived somewhere in the blog we won't repeat it all again only the main points. Mainly we are engaged in a book editing service and fighting for survival outside the asrama, also requesting a phone # to reach you for any super extra urgent important call.

   AGTSP paoho.  Our Secret Phone Number is 209 505-3219 but it is answered by Tom Brown and Buck White so be careful. It is good for Texting also but we don't talk to girls alone!!!

And if possible have darshan  in Wash DC during your next visit.

  We are waiting for Braja bihari Das to confirm the weekend and then we shall buy the tickets, July 18-20th.

 We are just fallen donkeys but we aknowledge the legible and metaphysical inspiration you have established in our hearth.  Hoping one day to receive Harinama initiation from you (we really need it) and  thanking you endlessly for the siksa and encouragement

bhakta Raul

            HpS - Jaya! AGTSP.  We shall write the DTC just for you today!
