Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,
all glories to UG, TB, BW and You.

we pray to the noble and holy saint, that we can relinquish our attachments, That we wont get attracted by glittering illusion of Krsna's enternal energy.

            ASA - Jaya, Guru-krpa!
Your mercy is causeless on us, we can not imagine why it  came to insincere person like ourself.

H H asked us something from us

"HpS - ASA - Bachelor, Married, These are secondary. First thing is Chant Hare Krsna, Holy Names as directed by an Acharya like Lord Caitanya, Christ or Mohammad. The follow the four principles as the suggest. Then you will be happy and otherwise will suffer for every.

Ask your Christian scholar what the Bible says about sex in marriage, all the quotes, not just the ones he wants to give and let us all know."

this link tells about sex as discussed in Bible http://www.openbible.info/topics/sex
but this verses were spoken when there was absence of birth control (gadgets/medicines) both for man and woma. hence there is no clear message on them.
generally outcome of sex was child...  
Abortion is definitely discouraged and is in category of murder. fornication outside marriage is also illicit..celbicay is promoted if one stay as Monk thats better.

this link gives audo chapter reading of the Bible http://www.biblegateway.com/audio/dramatized/niv/Matt.5
-----------------------------

we liked http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%203&version=NIV... on Jhiva vegam

---take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark---.
-------------------------

we have to search a temple president and temple, before we even think of becoming your disciple. infact  16 rounds and 4 rules are not much bigger challegne than that to have local sankirtan authority every year in any place we go. This has been always tough for us esp we have been staying at diff places for varying durations.

we have our concerns, but now we think, its upto us and our dexterirty to apply principles.. we are not fortunate as other bloggers on this blog to have atleast family or devotee spiritual support. We have to rely on Super Soul only.

we wont brood too much.
hope Spirit of Prof Jung is happy ..

     HpS - ASA --- AGTSP paoho...  Thank you for the links! I think Mr. Prana Das really wants to work with you all. He is wonderful ISKCON Sankirtan authority.

Other Bloggers fortunate - Some are have worse situation than you some have better. Some stories of what spouses do to harrass their devotee partners cannot even be remembered!

We think that your good family must be saints to live in such a small place.

How's the thesis????  Give us a little summarry of your erudite work!!!

Querido gurudeva!!!

Mis mas humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada

pues respondiendo a su carta, la perfumeria me despidio hace unos meses por falta de trabajo, pero mirando la parte positiva tengo mas tiempo para estudiar mientras me sale otro trabajo.

mi hermana esta muy bien y mi madre ...bueno, los problemas con ella siguen ,dado que hace cosas que no me gustan, pero la tengo que respetar,al fin de cuenta ella me trajo al mundo.

Tengo ganas de que la situacion cambie y poder separarme un poco de mi familia, no me ayuda ha avanzar espiritualmente nada y me siento un poco encajada, pero, igualmente le doy gracias a krsna por poder asociarme con devotos, tenerle a usted y a pesar de no vivir ahora en una familia conciente de krsna ,no perder la conciencia y las enseñanzas que me inculcaron de pequeña y que voy recibiendo a traves de usted.

Cambiando de tema para no aburrirlo, tengo que decirle que el templo es oficialmente de los hindues aunque gracias a la misericordia de krsna el otro dia una devota y yo pudimos recibir en el templo a dos clases de un instituto de valencia y hablarles de la conciencia de krsna.

Les hablamos de sri caitanya mahaprabhu,de srila prabhupada,de la importancia de cantar el maha mantra,de tener a un maestro espiritual,porque es importante la limpieza,realmente fue un resumen orientado a niños de 15 y 16 añitos del introducctorio a bakti yoga,y les dimos algunos dulces maha prasadam y el resultado fue maravilloso,hacian preguntas y estaban interesados en el tema.Vieron la puya y cantaron el maha mantra.

Ojala krsna nos ilumine y podamos seguir haciendo la familia grande.

respecto a el reporte,las 16 rondas,mangal aratik(,aunque sola en casa),unos tres o cuatro dias por semana,leo libros de srila prabhupada,atiendo a las deidades de casa y esperando que venga el buen tiempo para plantar tulasi :-).

gracias por su tiempo y asociacion,espero se encuentre bien de salud y espero poder verlo pronto.

su fiel y monkey sirvienta mani-sati sita dd

HpS - Super. Muchas veces nosotros eligimos nuestra sendero en como 12 - 13 anos! Entonces presentar una muestra muy vivida de nuestra vida y ideas a ninos es algo super importante.

Claro, la familia es una program de predica muy particular. Hay ventajas y desaventajas. Nuestras reverencias al presidente del templo! Como se llama?

Pienso super su perspectivo y espero Krsna mejorar mas y mas su situacion, associacion, yatra, y abilidades para servir a el.

Muchas Gracias a Vd. y Sita Devi!

We thought our battery was charged but it is not! Only a few minutes left so we will send this DTC (Oink! - Whoop!!) and answer letters until it goes Kaput. Guess cell phone will still work but typing is slow on that Dude.

Went to Vanderbilt University today. It like going to the palace of Indra/Ravana. Left at 11.15AM and returned at 2.45PM. Found the Indology Journals where we submitted Dr. Samareshes Felicitation book but none have reviewed his book yet. Is not a surprise as it takes time.

Was a stressful, compicated adventure but got the result and know how to go again!

It is the big, big, big local university.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama. keep on chanting this perfect song.

All Glories to Sri Sri Radha  &  Krsna! 
All Glories to Sri Sri Gour Nitay!
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All Glories to you ! 

I hope you are well, please accept my sincere obeisances.

Camila, Santiago-Chile, Social Work Student, 20 years old. 
4 principles!
16 rounds per day! (they aren't nice, we want to improve the quality of them)

Maharaj, I've been thinking, about different things, I started the Disciple Course in the Temple of Iskcon...and we talked about Srila Prabhupada, and how we can remember him, and keep Srila Prabhupada as the preeminent guru. ¿Can you please help me with this? ¿What we should do, to do that?  

      HpS - AGTSP paoho. It comes naturally as you read his books, follow his discipline, associate with his other disciples, and serve his mission. Do what you can do for ISKCON naturally, not dog hard.

Also, I see in others and in myself, sometimes that we are in a rollercoasters of emotions, happiness/afliction. If we are chanting hare krsna, and we still feeling bad, and sad...¿that is because we are not chanting properly?

   HpS - In the beginning we are still in the violent river even though we have the rope from the shore (16 x 4) so we get nice parts of the river and then bad parts. Srnvatam sva kattha krsna.. Canto One Chaper Two.... As we get closer to the shore the waves decrease.

Excuse my stupidity, i'm not yet qualified to understand this things, and do things correctly. 
Thanks for reading this letter.

¿How can we serve you?

   HpS - You already are! I an a dependent of Srila Prabhuapda! to serve him is to help our stupid selves!  News of the Yatra?

PAMHO!

RADHE RADHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AGTSP paoho
We are sitting at NGD dinning room table. Everyone's honored Prasada and now disbursed about the house. We come each evening when he comes home from the hospital. Haridas Thakura used to visit Advaita Acharya the same way.

Today our project was to finish the Bhakti-vaibhava Semester Review PPT. We did it. Them we did some Uncle Gismo work to try to get the internet and e-publishing stuff improved. It is 8.21PM. Feeling a little heart arhythmia. Ha!  Ha!

We only have real internet when we come here in the evening. Saves us $55/month, and gives us more chance to write at the Office.

We just answered bunch of old and new Blog letters. Only 21-letters to answer now.

O.K. ~ ~ ~ Tommorrow we try to go to Vanderbilt University. We can't use the University bus because it is only for employees so we will have to drive, and then navigation and parking become a big adventure.

So many times there are causes for distress [our heart is still a little irregular]. How can we get direccions and travel tomorrow? What about Japa - Joe?

Hmmmm, but just smile and laugh and chant 'Hare Krsna, Hare Rama' and your mind reacts,"Oh, were smiling! ?  I guess were having fun!? I guess a heart attack at the dinning room table is a real joy!!"

O.K. See you soon.

We Tweet all the time.

Dear Gurumaharaja.

Hare Krsna AGTSP, PAMHO

Dear Gurumaharaja!

Sadhana is very strong in the Chicago temple, 15 bcaris, a lot of preach increasing in spring and summer times.  I’m the new halwai of kishor kishori, making diferent sweets for them. A lot of services in the temple and a lot of preaching. It is so difficult to be balanced, the days turn very short. I opened a bhakti club in Truman Collage where I’m studying and I’m taking care of one bhakti club in Loyola University, the students are very enthusiastic. I’m preaching profusely in order to expand Latin preaching through harinama, book distribution, advertisement. Rick Warren’s book about how to lead a church is very helpful to me now a days.

I started 2 Canto Bhakti Vaibhava, and giving complete sections in SB classes about 6 canto in the temple. It’s hard to digest all that knowlege.

   HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho.  Who is leading the Bh. Vai. programs?

The only reason why I’m doing this is because I have this sense of gratitude with You, Srila Prabhupada and Iskcon, other wise, I can not handle with this. However is very extatic also, and everyday i'm traying to increase my conection with the dieties and japa.

The temple president of Chicago temple wants to invite You. So he ask me about your email, but i dont know which e mail  I can give to him to be in touch with you.

I'm thinking that we can organize in northwestern or loyola university a program or even the community here the never hear about Ligth Of Bhagavata or how to present the book. Or a festival with the latin community which is big in Chicago. That's all for now Gurudeva

I hope you recive this letter good of health.

  HpS - Yes, Sadhana bhakta means to understand what are the priorities. It is a great art.  You can see our calendar on the Kapi-dhvaja. Maybe we can come to Chicago, but now we are just getting our foundation set here in Tennessee. Without that we cannot develop anything very substantial, always running the car in first gear.

Let us see how things go after a few more weeks. Already there is so much improvement. Regular diet. Regular writing. Regular eye strain. (Ha! Ha!).

Priorities, how soon will we have to leave this body....
