Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAmHO, agtSP,

Thank you consistent classes on Sunday.

We were thinking we are uttering and not chanting.

Secondly we could see our attention is less when we are uttering.

We talk to people/we give classes, we are more attentive because their is response.

When we write, Diary or journal, still there seems some reciprocation

While watching YouTube, there seems to be reciprocation.

How can we experience reciprocation during chanting?

Trying to serve

HpS/ASA - Thank you!

Krsna says in BG chapter 10, yajyanam japa yajno smi, among sacrifices I am Japa.

so seems it is not easy to do, but has really great result, no?

NoI 7 & 8 talk about the stages of development, no? In Text 7 it just talks about how we get liberated by chanting.

Maybe I don't experience a personal reciprocation, but I get liberated. Teaching geometry to students or watching grand masters playing chess on YouTube may distract us, but we should be getting a deeper liberation from chanting.

Then 7 & 8 say we start to get a regular taste, which we can develop in Raganuga bhakti.

When we are on the platform of Raganuga bhakti we are goswamis: jitatmanam prasantasy, paramatma samahitam.

Then we are getting inspiration from the supersoul whom to talk to, which things to read, how to chant.

Usually it is coming from external sources, but the paramatma is telling us, I sent this person, I'm leading you to read this dialog in the CC.

Of course, the only taste is personal relations. Either with Krsna Himself or things or people eternally, connected to Him.

So, maybe we get a spark of that sometimes. We read in the sastra it will develop. We hear from devotees. So we go on. It is mentioned in Text 8, '.... srila bhakti siddhanta recommends'.

Satsvarupa Goswami asked Srila Prabhupada: how to chant better rounds, and he said that Srila Prabhupada looked at him with a stern gaze and said, "By chanting better rounds".

So, sometimes we know what we should do eg. Chant in the morning. Chant on beads and kirtan, with deities, associate with devetees etc. etc. Yet, there is no substitute for Bhakti, Sraddha. Sometimes is not technique, it is just a fact that we have to do our part and apply everything!! 👍

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, pamho agtSP.

As, there are tricks to play Mrdnga.

What are the tricks to play Brhad Mrdnga?

HpS/ASA - Prabhupada calls them spiritual though material tricks.

For example, if you ask a question in such a way that the answer is naturally yes, eg. "you like to eat grass, right", then keep your mouth shut and smile and nod your head up and down, there is tremendous pressure for the other person to answer yes.

Of course you ask, "So you'd like to take a book, right".

Then if it takes one, two minutes, you don't say anything. You just keep the "iron smile" on your face and keep nodding your head up and down encouragingly.

There are others.

They are just regular stuff that salesmen use.

Devotees can learn some. They become habit, but the real book distribution potency is purity of purpose eg. compassion, realization by intelligent deliberation and personal austerity that these books will benefit the person!!

Thank you.

Hope you become a Sankirtan man on the level of Narada Muni.

"Every salesman develops his own technique", SP.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva todos las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada🙏

Escribo con sentimiento muy amorosos esta humilde ofrenda de Vyasa Puja, es un día muy especial porque es un momento en donde puedo meditar en lo importante que es para mí su refugio y asociación. Cada carta escrita en su blog son tesoros para mí, ya que en sus respuestas se plasma sus instrucciones que son guías que me acompañaran por el resto de mí vida. En estos días me he enterado que su salud esta delicada y es imposible no pensar en el día que ya su cuerpo material no este junto a nosotros, pero intento apegarme a sus palabras y meditar que siempre estaremos unidos a través del santo nombre. Al escribir pienso que una vez usted comento en una clase que no vio muchas veces a Srila Prabhupada, sin embargo eso le basto para saber que quería servirlo durante toda su vida. Yo siento algo similar Gurudeva con usted, no he tenido tantas instancias en donde he podido estar con usted en persona, pero lo que he compartido me basta para saber que usted es mi inspiración en Conciencia de Krishna, admiro su sencillez, determinación, inteligencia, diplomacia, ecuanimidad y sentido de humor. Al escribir también recuerdo que una vez en una clase menciono que el verdadero olvido de Krshna es no cantar nuestras rondas, esa frase calo profundo en mi mente y corazón, y me sirve para no caer en mis rondas. No me alcanzan las palabras para agradecer por tantas enseñanzas que nos entrega día a día en su Programa de Japa y por estar siempre dispuesto ayudar en nuestra vida espiritual. Espero poder servir y ayudar en su servicio a Srila Prabhupada siempre querido Gurudeva.

Con mucho cariño y admiración Havihsara Devi Dasi.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, all glories to Srila Prabhupada🙏

I write this humble Vyasa Puja offering with great love. It is a very special day because it is a time when I can meditate on how important your shelter and association are to me. Each letter written on your blog is a treasure to me, as your responses reflect your instructions, which are guidelines that will accompany me for the rest of my life. These days I have learned that your health is failing, and it is impossible not to think about the day when your material body will no longer be with us, but I try to cling to your words and meditate that we will always be united through the holy name.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP Our health is pretty good. It is just the natural cycle of a machine growing old, then at some point the repairs become to major, so we get a new car and the iron in the old one is melted down to form a new car for someone else.

We have all been through it thousands of times!

As I write this, I think that you once mentioned in a class that you didn't see Srila Prabhupada very often; however, that was enough for you to know that you wanted to serve him for the rest of your life. I feel something similar about you, Gurudeva. I haven't had many opportunities to be with you in person, but what you've shared is enough for me to know that you are my inspiration in Krishna Consciousness.

I admire your simplicity, determination, intelligence, diplomacy, equanimity, and sense of humor.

As I write, I also remember that once in a class you mentioned that the true forgetfulness of Krishna is not chanting our rounds. That phrase resonated deeply in my mind and heart, and it helps me not to fall into my own rounds. Words fail me to express my gratitude for the many teachings you give us every day in your Japa Program and for always being willing to help in our spiritual lives. I hope to be of service and help in your service to Srila Prabhupada, always my dear Gurudeva.

With much love and admiration, Havihsara Devi Dasi.

HpS - We always remember again, and again and again how we have been completely self centered at every step of our devotional life. Jayananda Das once said that Krsna consciousness is eating and sleeping in the best of company. Only eat Prasadam and sleep in the Brahmacari ashrama and you will have no problems.

Srila Prabhupada has pulled us!!! Pulled us!!! and figured out how to make his servants from mud!

AgtSP.

Thank you for your association!!!

Hare krishna Querido Gurudeva, Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada !

Este año para mí no ha sido tan fácil en términos de salud, eso me ha traído como consecuencia que mis servicios en el templo de Santiago han sido intermitentes, pero he intentado mantenerme activa dentro de mis posibilidades. He leído, cantar mis rondas, mejorar en el kirtan, aun no logro cantar, sin embargo estoy tocando algunos instrumentos, además junto a mi asociado estamos en la distribución de libros hacia la región de Antofagasta que se encuentra hacia el norte de Chile. Otro nuevo servicio que he podido explorar es hacer ropa para deidades, es algo que me hace sentir muy feliz, de niña hacia ropa para mis muñecas y ahora hacerlo para el señor es algo increíble. Espero siempre poder ir mejorando para lograr en algún momento ser una buena discípula, sé que estoy recién comenzando, pero siempre oro para que mi bhakti siga incrementando aunque existan dificultades. Estoy consciente que debo mejorar muchas cosas y por sobre todo mis rondas, espero algún día poder decir que canto 16 buenas rondas. Muchas gracias Gurudeva siempre por todo su apoyo y paciencia.

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurudeva, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

This year hasn't been so easy for me in terms of health. This has meant that my services at the Santiago temple have been intermittent, but I've tried to stay active as much as possible. I've read, chanted my rounds, and improved my kirtan. I still can't sing, but I'm playing some instruments. My associate and I are also distributing books to the Antofagasta region, located in northern Chile. Another new service I've been able to explore is making clothing for deities. It's something that makes me feel very happy. As a child, I made clothes for my dolls, and now doing it for the Lord is incredible. I always hope to keep improving so that at some point I can become a good disciple. I know I'm just starting, but I always pray that my bhakti continues to increase even if there are difficulties. I'm aware that I need to improve many things, especially my rounds. I hope one day to be able to say that I've chanted 16 good rounds. Thank you so much, Gurudeva, for all your support and patience.

HpS/ASA - Thank you, agtSP, for this precise, concise, report, news.

What is the name of our personal associate?

Hope to see some pictures of the deity dresses.

Also of your home altar!

Does your Associate do wood working?

We apologize to you and everyone that we have been slow in reading the Annual Reports and Vyasapuja Offerings.

Our hearing is at least 70% gone and the same for our eyes, balance, stamina, mental function.

😆

Yet, our intellect and spiritual alertness is increasing at an excellent pace!!

This Yoga works.!

We thank you for your quick note to our WhatsApp address alerting us to the Blog post.

Part of the delay was that I did not recognize your secular name, Stephanie! Maybe start a new account here with your ecclesiastic name!!!!

Havi (Ghee) Sara (Essence) Devi Dasi.

Hope your book distribution develops into making book distributors and if Krsna desires He will do the magic!!

Sankirtan!

Gauranga!

O.K. to your next letter!

AGTSP!

Gurumaharaja, thank you very much for your prompt response. In addition to the idea of ​​doing photo reports of the deity (a subject that has excited us greatly), I am asking if you think it appropriate to continue the translation of Suhotra Swami's "Dimensions of Good and Evil," a project I began three years ago and which was approved by his disciple, Vidyagati Prabhu.

It is a morally based text that I consider important for its analysis of modern times and the necessary differentiation of Vaishnava morality from Western standards based on Christianity.

The translation is an exercise I can do in my spare time between my duties. My plan is to produce them in e-book format and distribute them free of charge to devotees who are studying Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava. Any other suggestions?

HpS/ASA - Wow! Sounds wonderful. I always liked Maharaja's scholarship. He got things done. He didn't have to always produce first class stuff!

This is Kali yuga.

Radar won the Battle of Britain.

It was third class, but first class never would have gotten done, and second class would have been too late. So, third class was good enough!

Hope today's other posts are useful to you also!!! ???

Your disciple
