Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Dear Guru maharaj,

Please accept my humble obesciences, All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

Belated birthday wishes maharaj, I have been thinking about all the moments we talked and the communications through the emails. I feel really blessed in that aspect that you are patiently guiding this way ward soul with love. I sometimes feel that I dont have that much love as some other desciples of you like Srinivas Acharya das(a close friend of mine).  I think I have a lot of false ego and I try to find the satisfaction and this eventually is making me not love with deepest of feelings. 

I wish I could have helped more actively in book distribution and temple service. I mostly try to clean the temple prsadam hall once a week and sometime occassionally contribute financially to the temple. I keep in touch with the devotees and try to associate them on the phone and internet.

I have not been eating Onion/Garlic for a while now and have been eating mostly satvic food. Reading Chaitanya Caritamrita daily and Harinam.

When I read books, I feel gratitude for what Lord has given me, but somehow I get a lot of questions on veracity of the facts ssometimes.

Please bless me so that I can serve you directly and indirectly and do the things which satisfies you

Please keep this fallen person in your mind and keep blessing me with your grace.

your aspiring servant

Nataraj

             HpS - AGTSP Please write to us about some of the Facts you question!!  We are amazed at your sincerity. You must have been a Pujari in a Temple in India in the 19th century in your last life.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru maharaj

Please accept my dandavat pranams, All Glories to Srila Prabhupad. I am seriously interested in taking initiation from you maharaj and that is the main reason I am abstaining from Garlic and Onion (which are quite dear to me). I have taken a contract job last year and I am working long hours in the job. Sometimes I have the zeal to be respected in the society by earning money and that social satisfaction will make me blinded to the spiritual needs of constant association and guidance.

Thank you for the guidance you have given in your question. I am sorry that I forgot to even send my Vyasa puja offerring in the process.  I will send the vysa puja offering in a seperate email. Thank you for your constant guidance to this way ward soul and belated birthday wishes maharaj

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. All I can say is that any interest in taking intitation from "me" is an interest in taking initiation from Lord Nityanaanda, and that would seem to indicate that you are a Mad man.But what can be done???

If you get the mercy of Lord Nityaananda you will probably develope a mortal allergy to Ghar Lick and Un Yuns. After that He will erase your face and leave only with Vrndavana Dhama.

Respected Guru Maharaj,

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

I typed my Vyas-Puja offering in Word 2010, and tried to copy/paste here in this monkey warrior blog, but somehow, i could not do it, some technical problem, so I had sent it to your yahoo VIP address, whenever you have some extra/spare time, kindly chekc it, thank you very much, HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - Jaya. Raktaka Das. Thank you for your news. I think we read it and answered, no?

So nice to hear from you.

You are one of the roots of our life.

Dr. Samaresh Bandopadhyay is being taken to Australia by the government of India for a BIG conference at Monash university. He arrives like 18th of February and stays until 26th. Can you give him a call in Kolkatta and extend a hearty welcome from the Australian Krsna's! Maybe you can see him or get some devotees to contact him and help him with Prasada etc. He is working so, so, so very hard for NIOS.

If any expenses, M. Manjari Devi Dasi has some NIOS funds there! Give him the Royal Australian Krsna Reception on our behalf. Something he will never forget.

His home number is +1 91 33 2534 9549

Hare Krsna, Dear Guru Maharaja

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to HH Hanumatpresaka Swami!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

I deeply thank your classes since they have answered many of my self-doubt and allowed me to meet a great soul like you. But I am very indebted to you and now you are gone...
Yesterday, when I woke up, I felt a void and a great sadness because something had gone and I perceived. I thought that the temple
would not be the same because your absence. Anyway, I decided to go because Gaura Nitai. But this inner feeling had not gone an it made me think about that in the absence of somebody too significant, oneself realize many thing. And it was a little moment which I really felt that you should be my diksha guru. I`ll go to Santiago de Chile next monday. I would have loved to go now but I could not change the tickets and I'm regretting so much... :(
I was eager to talk to you but I find it hard because I'm so conditioned that it is very easy to block me under certain circumstances and even more publicly, because my mind is too restless and loves to disturb and let me anxious all the time.

In fact, chanting rounds costs me a lot of. I chant 16 ronds but in the second, my mind went around the world 3 times. But I know I have to force myself to calm it down and try to control it. And I take him to one of the questions I was left pending: How much can affect the development of my spiritual life not being able to sing rounds during the morning or attend mangala aratik because I work at that time? there is instructions in which you do a lot of emphasis: get up early, singing rounds and attend Mangala Aratik,
you have crossed in my road. Forgive this fall and completely conditioned soul by not being able to serve you in the best way.

Thank you for your amazing association. Sorry for my bad english

With a lot of affection,
Your attempt servant, Belén.

All Glories to Sri Guruji and Gourangaji

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisanses to Sri Guruji's padmacharan that in Gita-13.25 " The Sankhya philosophers analyze this material world into twenty-four elements, and they place the individual soul as the twenty-fifth. When they are able to understand the nature of the individual soul to be transcendental to the material elements, they are able to understand also that above the individual soul there is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is the twenty-sixth elements". What are the twenty-four elements and how individual soul treated as the twenty-fifth elements?

    HpS - AGTSP paoho. They are the elements mentioned before: Senses, sense objects, mind... Then when we see a living being we think that there is another element besides these, the Atma. He makes the first 24-alive. The modern scientists often say that there is no Atma, only material elements.

Again how Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes twenty-sixth elements? 

HpS - He already is. It is like child sitting on lap of father pretending to drive car. Child makes some indications, "Go left, go right", but always father is there. Just for some time he is not recognized.

And at the end of this para  Some people who try to find out Supersoul by meditation, by cultivation of knowledge and by childish activities what is the interpretation of childish activities means.

HpS - Marijuana for example.
 

And Please explain the Supersoul and the individual soul are situated in the body?

HpS We are with Krsna in Goloka but we are both looking at our reflections in a pot of water, the material nature, so both the reflection of us and Krsna, Supersoul, are there if we look for it.
