Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna!!!

All glories to Sankirtana movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you Guru Maharaja

Please accept my most sincere obeissances to your very soft blossom feet

           HpS - ASA - AGTSP....  Paoho...   Our feet are not swollen any more, but are not lotus. We are trying to be stronger devotees. We can only hope to do it little by little!!

Dear Gurudeva, i feel strongly happy and gratefull to you for having recieved at least one drop from the ocean of your mercy.

I'm feeling very inspired to continue my service to BBT, we are very close to print Srimad Bhagavatam in spanish for the first time in years. Also im searching inside, how to develope serving mode towards the devotees, and also the non-devotees, please instruct me.

I dont want to take much of your precious time, but i will ask you the two Blog questions you asked me to write =D

1st- can you give me the contact of Prahlada Nrsimha Das so i can start exchanging info from vedabase.com?

2nd-(1st part) What is the difference between writing Kirtan and Kirtana, and between Das and Dasa.

2nd-(2nd part) Can you please tell me something about my name, maybe your understanding of what does it mean to execute Kirtana (can it be understood also as preaching, reciting mantras/scriptures, etc. as well as chanting the Maha-Mantra with instruments?).

Again, thank you so much for having visited México although you have so much work to do for your preaching.

Your new former son and allways aspiring servant

Krsna-kirtana Das

P.D. i didn't find the way to change my user name XD.

   HpS - ASA - - 1st: I just sent a letter to Prahlada-nrs. with a copy to you introducing you and explaining that you want to work with him on the web-page. If you can't communicate that way please let us know.

2nd: The Sanskrit is Kirtana, Rama, Bhima, but the last letter, "a" is short so they don't include it when they write it in Hindi or modern Bengali. It is the same thing.

Krsna-kirtana Das means just what you say, serving the mission of Lord Caitanya with Kirtan in public, book distribution, teaching and chanting SB etc. etc. etc. keep on chanting, serving and looking for what is your specific service in the Sankirtana movement. O.K? Now preparing for 2nd initiation. At least one year, normally two, maybe more... then 3rd, 4th...!

Querido Guru Maharaja,  en Lima ya se siente la alegría por su próxima visita, los aspirantes desean servirlo, los discípulos buscamos arreglos en nuestros horarios y responsabilidades, pensé verlo recién el próximo año. Estoy realmente feliz, justo al final de la maratón. Jay Gurudeva.

Semanas atrás tuve un virus que afecto mis bronquios, producto del invierno crudo de Lima que durará un mes más, estuve enclaustrada, extrañando distribuir libros como una cabra saltarina, y el servicio de pujari, el templo de Wilson es muy bonito, uno se siente acompañada, por los grhastas, los entusiastas bhaktas, visitantes e inspirada por la belleza de PKSSGN, pero un clima como Chosica es el ideal para sanar.

Para remate, en esas semanas un gran tonto vació mi computadora con las grabaciones más hermosas de Ud. que grabe en sus múltiples visitas, el resto de información es recuperable, en fin colectaré algunos clases grabadas de mis bienquerientes, Krsna es un pícaro! Ladrón devuélveme mis grabaciones!!!!!!! Sri Hariiiiiiiiii!!!!!

Todo esto no hace más que acrecentar mis deseos de distribuir libros, hacer más servicio, más Pujari, si Krsna me lo permite, esa es la felicidad, no conozco otra.

Que el Sr, Nrsimha lo traiga de regreso a esta su casa Perú con bien

             HpS - ASA - TlgaSP. Claro tenemos su asociacion santa muchas dias en simposium de Japa Joe. Muchas gracias, y mas cada Martes en reunion de Bhakti Vaibhava con Nimsar. MUCHAS GRACIAS, y ya. . .

................. esta carta. Mooo!     Moooo!   Chisimos gracias.
Pienso no es posible eso es su primero vida en servicio devocional. Esta confrontado con tan muchos desafilos, pero no deja su determinacion servir a Sri Sri Radha Madan-bihari!
[Cual es su secreto??   Como convertienda a una devota tan advancada????]

<img alt="wink" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.gif" title="wink" /> Claro, es un poco bromistoso. Eso es como Jayananda Das estaba preguntando de otros a vezes. Poco, bromistoso, pero poco serio tambien. De donde viene su fuente de inspiracion?   Pienso Vd, o otros devotos como Vd, esta confrontando situaciones tan fuerte como cualquiere Sannyasi.
Siempre pienso Krsna esta occupando su en una servicio muy intimo. El puede enviar Vd. a otro pais, India... pero pienso El tiene aspiracion muy intimo con su occupacion.
Cuales son sus fuentes de inspiracion???

     Muy buen foto de Sri Sri Gaura-nitai. Ellos no viven en Lima.

Hare Krisna mi querido Guru Deva Hanumat Presaka Maharaja, Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srla Prabhupada.

Por aqui  todo va bien gracias a Krisna, con menos politica. Se mantinen los programas y hay nuevos devotos que estan haciendo servico.

Su humilde sirviente Jagamohan Das

            HpS - Jaya!   Muchisimos Gracias sus cartas!  Vivas en centro, Espiritu Santu? Como pasa su dia normal? Cuales eventos cada dia? Que pasa con la Mantra Rock???

Hare Krishna
All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Gurudeva

I hope you are fine.
Here I am, trying
I Devarsi of Buenos Aires , Argentina

                  HpS - ASA -  -  AGTSP. paoho. So, so, so nice to hear from you! Is good to know you are still active, serving Krsna, even in this strange material world.

A long long time no write , I can hardly write , I'm not very good at writing .

HpS - No, you are writing very well.

Lately I've been pretty busy. Divided by working in the Temple Restaurant, and in the office. I'm starting to do some work for the temple treasury .
I am also taking care in ISKCON Argentina communication , publicity , posters, and graphic design .
Many devotees ask me to help with publicity  their nama hattas and others.
Sometimes I feel a bit overloaded , but I really like it , because it is for Krishna .
Honestly while chanting my japa every day, I feel I am offensive to sing , sometimes I can not concentrate on the holy name . Still not stop singing .
For inspiration I went back to read the biography of Srila Prabhupada to Satsvarupa dasa .
I found out in January that ud come to Buenos Aires . I was very happy at the news .
it means to be determined in the spiritual life ?
Thanks for reading my letter and for giving me your time
Sorry for my English (Google Traductor)
I'm a little kid , I write as a young child ajaja, in a body of33 year old
 

Thank you thank you
My respectful obeisances to you

              HpS - ASA - Jaya! Very nice letter. If you write in simple Spanish, Google translate can translate simply. Write with news of the Temple events, your reading and Sankirtana. You asked:

"it means to be determined in the spiritual life ?" I think you mean "What means..".

A Sanskrit world for "determined" is "niscayad". This is discussed in NoI text three. Read about it there and tell us what you think. In BG it is explained with the example of the sparrow who's eggs were stolen by the ocean. Do you know this story?

Basically it means that I will not change my goal even if there are so many obstacles or failures one after another.

O.K?

We must be determined to get free from Maya so we can serve Krsna properly.

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

HpS - ASA - Jaya, Girigovardhana!!

   Please advise and add more activities for vrandavan.
    
your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

                HpS - You are so fortunate to have taken birth in India. It costs us $1,500 to go to Vrndavana and we don't speak the local language. Your program of events looks very nice. We are thinking of writing to you and Harsh about promoting these NIOS books everyday but we hardly get a breath of time with this flood of education initiatives that are happening here in Houston. Friday we go back to Tennessee and I think things will be a little more sane then.

I cannot think of any more things to do in Vrndavana. Please keep a nice, simple journal of what happens by day and then send it to us after you edit it when you get back to Pune on the Blog here!!
We will send more news soon!

Thank you, respects to all the devotees there!!
