Letters to the editor

hare krsna Mahraj,PAMHO,AGTSP
thank you very much for sharing nice ppt. u r asking for suggestion to help u "Help us develop our writing, pptx, stuff so that it is useful"...

u dont need our help but we do, still u r humble enough to engage us by making us think we are helping u. anyway gracias.

There are two words in ppt Mantra & meditation. I think we have to differentiate b/w mantra meditation and other sort of meditation (like Tratak -focus on flame , focusing on third eye etc.,vipasana) in our opinion-- its like- take an example of muddy water in glass--now if make water still- the dirt will sediment-- it will seem water is less muddy.

in our experience when our mind is heavily agitated ---good sleep,  deep breath, or meditation helps to remove agitation.

ceto darpan --is actually removing dirt itself so that we can hear super soul properly as and see things as they are.[ like putting alum in dirty water]

i think we have to differentiate b/w settling down and clearing of dirt.

secondly. Hare krsna mahra mantra consists everything,  should we focus on theological science, name-form- etc. to stress on importance of japa meditation.

thats for now,

            HpS - Thank you so much.     !!       We knew that once we started this tour, no writing!          Only three days more and maybe we can settle down.  ALways will be writing in Hell seems, so we have to do the best we can.   Your poinnts are very good.  We were aiming at professor Campbell and he read the Japa Joe word document in our archives and there it talks a lot about your points.  Is enough?   Next will be conversation with Carl Jung!

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡¡

PAOHO

I hope this letter meets U in really good health ¡¡¡

Gurudeva I have a deep concern about the preaching ¡¡ For instance I see that the deities like to be dressed, like the bhoga, etc but umm specially  Gaura Nitai They like to hear classes, bhajams ¡¡¡ They like sankirtan ¡¡¡Harinam ¡¡¡

So I feel sad when I do not see that these programs develop in the temple, because me as pujari I try that the deities be beautiful and attractive so the devotees may feel encourage and try to do their service better ¡¡¡ but honestly we do not have the commit to create a program and to develop it... so please advice us what shall we do, so the devotees commit for this purpose? Work with young and new people?? with the advice of elder devotees?? please give us some enlightment. Nowadays the temple is doing like concerts is that right? 

Thank U all so much 

Looking forward for your reply

Always trying to be your disciple

                HpS - AGTSP....    paoho...    Don't know details!!!      Basic strategy is wherever you go, whomever you meet, tell them about Krsna.  Then you will automatically begin to see what systematic programs are needed.  Prabhupada gives us basic program of Kirtan, lecture, kirtan prasada, so that can go on morning and night.  Of course, Kirtan can be Concerts.  One formula is to let Krsna do His job of sending innocent people and we keep pure and the people are determined to listen even if our presentacion isn't Hollywood.

            Hmmm.  Work on creating a balanced preaching program you self there and then see how it can be expanded to others, no?

PAMHO Gurudev: TgSP

Espero que se encuentre bien de salud cuando reciba este mensaje.

            HpS - TlgaSP!!!  Solamente momento pasado pregutand que pasa con Vd!  Muy bien

Envio algunas fotos del Ratha Yatra de Madrid, donde miles de personas pudieron escuchar los Santos Nombres, pudieron ver las caras de Sus Señorias Jagannatha, Baladev y Subhadra y pudieron degustar varios miles de bolitas de prasadam.

Jay Jagannath Swami.... Jay Jaganath... Jay Baladeva... Jay Subhadra!

            HpS - Hay mas fotos?  En la Web?            Su salud, cirugio???   El libro KRSNA?

Querido Gurudeva: por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada. Cómo está?

          HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   TlgaSP.   Ya son las 5.38PM aqui en ashrama de Srivasa Pandita. Tengo dolor de estomago, dolor de trasero por sentir y escribi. Por la fin puedo responder a cartas.  Todas las proyectos y nuestras 26 rondas para hoy dia casi a tiempo.  A las seis vamos al tercero programa de hoy dia!  Jaya  pero tenemos su asociacion...  bueno!

Por aquí, seguimos con la lucha. El sábado fue el Ratha yatra de Madrid. Fue muy inspirador. Jaganatha, Baladeva y Subhadra por las calles de la capital de España que, a esas horas, estaban llenas de gente, que miraban de manera curiosa.

            HpS - ASA -  Estamos oiyendo que era un gran exito.    Gran esfueza.  Aun realizamos no muy bien compartir volantes al publico, Krsna en la corazon puede animar ellos tomar interes in Con. de Krsna y encontrar a un devoto. Haz su misma ser listo para encontrar a gente.

Profesionalmente, ya han comenzado las vacaciones de verano en los colegios españoles, así que he empezado las vacaciones. Creo que me van a venir muy bien para bajar un poco el ritmo. Con estas vacaciones, tambien han comenzado las vacaciones del Gurukula, ya que en julio no estaré mucho en Madrid. Tenemos que viajar a Andalucía, luego a Bilbao y, con Avesa y Adirasa a Asturias. En fin, unos días para leer más, preparar el examen del Bhakti Sastri e intentar saborear un poco más el sadhana. Gracias por su dedicación. Espero que se encuentre bien de salud. Su aspirante a humilde sirvienta, Purnamasi devi dasi

          HpS - Con Avesa y todo viajando???  Con Nimai?   Como esta El Jayanta despues de su cirugia????????  Su Sankirtana?

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

(In start of Ratha Yatra,) what is the meaning of coconut arati and breaking of those coconuts?
Are those smashed coconuts Krsna prasadam ?

Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya das

               HpS -  AGTSP   paoho.   I don't know.  Srila Prabhupada doesn't mention it in any book, so it can't be so important.   One story is that it is to extract all the bad ellements away from the Rathayatra and then smash them, so the coconut is poison.  Another is that it is offering to inspire auspiciousness and then the coconut is good.   Hmmm???   If you ge news let us know.
