Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thanks for your answer.

I hope we will meet next time in Summer and we can give sweet watermelon to your beloved Nrsimhadeva ;)

It was a long journey but finally i received your TPP-CB. Thank you very much!

This is very cool and interesting. Actually it seems to me this is your diary. But i can see the connection between this and the Upadesamrita because you live according to the book, so your life (and your diary) is exemplary. You wrote didn't expect to understand everything immediately and read it at least six times. So i will do it.

I did my BS exam in Budapest if you need it i can send You my diploma.

In Hungary there are no courses (just for the Bhaktivedanta College students) everybody study for BS and BV independently. The devotees offered me their lecture notes so i can prepare myself from them but if there will be a new course it would be nice to join it. But if there aren't enough people or energy or time etc it's no problem for me i can study alone.

Thanks for your company.

All the best!

Your servant, Sri Radhe dd

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. If you look at Kama-gayatri's letter you will see some thoughts about the TPP-CB project.

What about joining the Mayapure Institute program??? We are trying to post our materials in our archives. Namacharya Das in Croatia is part of the program in California. Maybe you and he can start a program in Europe! 

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj,
Please accept our humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We inquired the head of the Synergy school if she was aware of the Educational Symposium. Nampriya Mataji is aware and we were both hoping to have the symposium projected for the teaching staff.

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho. Very nice to hear from you. Please call Mother Subhra Devi Dasi immediately and register. 209 918-9058 or you may not get a Seat. 

We have also received the Tava Pache Pache Manuscript Afterwards to the Nectar of Instruction and we felt very fortunate to be able to read it especially considering it is hand written and illustrated!  Bhakta Nick and even our 3 year old enjoyed the illustrations and poetry. Aja was very captivated! Our opinion is it is a great book to motivate a KC family of all ages to study Upadesamrta and should be read by all!!! 

On a side note it would also be a great zine, photocopied with a nice thick paper cover, maybe a watercolor of Rupa Goswami's Samadhi??? For the sections that have song references, possibly a folded copy of the song can be glued and folded in half so it is easy for readers to sing immediately! We will also be teaching 3rd and 4th graders and we feel this study guide will really captivate them with pictures, poetry and creative prose. A few other devotees who we have shown it to are also of the opinion that it should be copied and distributed. Maharaj, will you allow us to make these transcendental zines? We can let you know the progress in the coming month before your NW tour. Maybe it can be distributed with NOIs?

             HpS - ASA - Distribute it as you wish! As the basic description says at www.jayarama.us/archives/tpp-cb.htm
they are full of errors but we expect to get better with practice. Already we have changed our production formatting 7000% and number six we are composing them on 8-1/2 x 11 graph paper so they should be more regular and easy to reproduce. Got bless us!

We are reading TPP  with our Bhakti Sastri self study Curriculum and now are on text one of NOI. Still trying to keep up with children's Bhagavatam study, one chapter a week. Left a message with Srivasa Prabhu but no reply. KC Arts and Crafts summer camp next week, we are doing lots of prep for this and hope to give a more detailed critique if you would like of TPP next week.

Your servants,

Kamagayatri and Aja Narayana

HpS - Very good. We certify you as an Monkey Warrior based upon your report and Aja as a Junior Monkey Warrior, but please keep after Srivasa Das for formal study. Call him again. Uncle Gismo says, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease".

... arrived!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Your servant Namacarya das

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP paoho.  O.K. Lets start a Reading Group with anyone else who has a copy of the book with the next Kapi Dhvaja.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva ¡¡¡¡

AGTSP 

PAMHO 

Thanks to your blessings yesterday was a great day we had the opportunity to do some seva for RMB in chosica since till change their pijamas I started with Gaura Nitai and I told the autorities that I will do it just once a month ¡¡¡¡ I always remember what U say: DO NOT TAKE MORE SERVICE THAT U CAN DO OTHERWISE IS OFFENSIVE ¡¡ Once a month is OK plus it is very tiring but extremely pleasing

In wilson we have now 3 more deities more nectar but less pujaris jaja and I also have to focus more on that, the service for Krsna is unlimited we can always can to new things to improve our service

Rohini kumar das is organizing 12 hours kirtan in wilson periodically and it is very very nice ¡¡¡ last time we during the 12 hours the curtains were open and we can feel that the energy was completely different ¡¡¡¡

I have to catch up on with my thesis, I am taking harmonium lessons, yoga, I want to learn more things improve my cooking, my pujari skills, one of my goals is to train myself to be a better tool for SP and U with your blessings I am planning to do these things the rest of the year and forever up and up ¡¡¡ 

My japa was not so well but now that we have internet Japa Joe helps a lot ¡¡¡. Also BV  I have to put more heart on this now with my study partner I will have more strenght. It is funnny my mind was making me a fool I am too mental  and then on thursday I started reading the JADA BHARATA INSTRUCTS KING RAHUGANA and it was really helpful it is kind of amazing that whenver I read SB the topic is related with the suffering that I am passing through

Thank U Gurudeva for iur inspiration and shelter 

Always trying to be your disciple

HpS - ASA - Letter number five --- 1,000 created tasks and Japa Sufering. We do exactly the same thing, but we are getting better and scheduling rounds as a higher priority.  We do 26-rounds/day. We do a lot of work on ISKCON Sankirtan. A lot. We would be rich if this was a regular job, and we have lusty sense gratification of sweets, milk and nuts. But we are putting our Japa more and more in first place and  everything else is getting better. We are getting as much service as we can do. We are not thinking we are the supreme controller. We are dying a good death!

We were not born to be happy.

Todas las glorias a Sri-Sri Goura Nitay

Todas las glorias al Srila Prabhupada

Mis más respetuosas referencias son hacia usted.

Hare Krishna Maharaja. Por favor acepte mis referencias, mi nombre es Natalia Lizama, tengo 19 años y soy de Santiago, Chile.

Hace aproximadamente tres años conocí el movimiento para la Conciencia de Krishna por su discipulo Parasurama Avatar Dasa, y hace dos años comencé con mi servicio distribuyendo prasada y limpiando la cocina, y recientemente he comenzado a ser asistente de Pujari  en la fiesta de Srila Prabhupada los días viernes en el templo de ISKCON Santiago, Chile.

Cuando comencé a asistir al templo mas seguido, en Enero del 2012 fue la primera vez que lo pude ver en persona acá en Chile y fue el primer maestro espiritual a quien tuve la oportunidad de conocer. Me inspira su forma de prédica y como se relaciona con este movimiento.

Desde que comencé con el servicio canto las dieciseis rondas y cumplo con los cuatro principios regulativos.

Este año en especial ya que comencé con mis estudios en la universidad, se me ha hecho un poco dificultoso el cantar concentrada mis rondas cada mañana, en estos momentos es lo que me dificulta con mi avance espiritual.

Espero seguir con la misión de Sri Caitanya y Srila Prabhupada.

Se despide muy afectuosamente su eterne sirvienta,

Bhaktin Natalia Lizama

            HpS - ASA - AGTSP This is four letters today with same comment. Hmmmm. The university, work are only needed if they help us chant our rounds. Otherwise Krsna will personally supply the Prasad!

Querido Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami

Ante todo espero que Usted se encuentre muy bien de salud y le pido a Krisna que Usted tenga mucha energia para realizar todas sus tareas.

Le pido una disculpa por no escribirle mas seguido.

Tuve muchos cambios en este tiempo y estoy tratando de adaptarme a ellos, mudanza, trabajo, estudio, muchas cosas.
Por eso tuve que dejar mi servicio en el templo, pero considero que sigo haciendo servicio con cada actividad que realizo como psicóloga. Ese es mi dharma en ésta vida.
Le pido otra disculpa porque mi sadhana está muy malo en éste momento de mi vida. Me cuesta mucho cumplir con las rondas. Mi mente está demasiado focalizada en mi trabajo y en mi estudio. Me cuesta mucho pensar en otra cosa. Por favor, perdoneme por eso, pero yo  sé que encontraré la manera de adaptar mi vida actual a mi proceso espiritual, es cuestión de tiempo. Krisna y Usted están  y estarán siempre en mi mente y corazón.

Mis más humildes reverencias y todo mi agradecimiento por leer ésta carta y por recordar a ésta humilde sirvienta .

ss Dhanya Lalita, la psicóloga argentina

             HpS - ASA - AGTSP! Paoho. It is amazing. Every single letter so far has been exactly the same:

Please forgive me for not writing so hard, I have been forced to work like an ass, I am struggling to chant and follow principles, I have bad association.

Ooooof!   Amazing!   Any "psychology" that minimizes the value of Japa is insane. Carl Jung, the whole world of competent psychologist can recognize that introspective chanting of the Names of God following the process of Rupa Goswami is without equal, if you really want to become secure, happy, ecstatic.

We love to drown in self-pity. Give ourselves rewards for our suffering, but it is all little pig like pleasures that don't even satisfy us but we try to make ourselves so stupid that they do.
We are all in Goloka!. We have become confused. Krsna is saying "Wake Up! Wake Up! Wolves are attacking the cows! We need your help!"

Put your Japa first and to hell with your family, body, life, country, fruitive activities described in poetical language. To hell with it all. Make universal happiness not universal blood-sucking!

This is what we tell our mind daily!!!
