Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna dear Maharaja.

Please, accept my obeisances.

Above all, hoping you are in good health. It's me, Germán again, from Lima Perú. I'm very glad because I am taking part in Omkara Krishna dasa's congregational preaching program. We are implementing this program in the JBS temple of Miraflores, planifying the new Nama-hatta and Bhakti-vrksa activities for the next year. Omkara prabhu has formed a team with expert devotees in this topic such as Hari Sankirtan dasa, Jagat Pavitram dasa, Jahnava Mataji and a copule of bhaktas with not very much expertice but a lot of entghusiasm! In the same way, my girlfriend, bhaktin Isabelle and myself are in charge of the web page and the graphic promo kit of the temple. These responsabilities make us feel happy, it's very nice to make seva for Lord Jagannatha. We all want to maximize the Miraflores congregation in the first place, and then after help the other temples to do the same. As you request me, here is somne photos of Mataji Gumercinda, Mataji Tania and myself. The next one is from our study group. Then a photo of Isabelle and I at the temple. Finally, some samples of my recent work: the first three are part of a series related to spiritual enlightenment through the manifestation of Paramatma and the Vedic texts in our hearts. The moth represents our pre-devotional state. I showed this work in october. The mudras and the lotus flower are part of a major series related to karma, vikarma and akarma. I´m working in it and hoping to finish it in one year or more. Thank you for reading my letter. You don't know how happy I got to get your last response. See you in december, Hare Krishna.

With gratitude, Germán

  TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRI SRI GAURA NITAI, TLGSP Y MIS RESPETUOSAS REVERENCIAS A USTED GURU MAHARAJA! 

MAHA HARI PRABHU ESTA MUY BIEN COMO SIEMPRE ENCARGADO DE LOS SERVICIOS Y CUIDANDO DE SUS DEVOTOS.... SI LEYENDO C.CARITAMRTA ADI LILA!!! SOBRE SRI ADVAITA AUNQE POR MI IGNORANCIA MUCHO NO PUEDO ENTENDER...ALLER ESTUVE LEYENDO EL NUEVO TESTAMENTO HACIENDO COMPARACIONES DE JESUS Y EL SEÑOR CAITANYA O EL SEÑOR NITYANANDA ¿TIENEN MUCHAS SIMILITUDES NO GM?...

            HpS - TlgaSP. Si, Predicando. Prabhupada dijo que Senor Jesukristo es nuestra Guru! 

Puede ver en la Biblia que era (es) una situacion muy fuerte, personas condenado por su Karma vivir donde no hay agua. Entonces TIENE que matar animales (y seres humanos) para vivir. Si, con la misericordia de un Guru puede adjustar mucho. Pienso aun mejor son los historias de los Santos. Posible Teresa de Avila, su libro. Pero muy bien es el libro Krsna!!!

Buena suerte con su predica!!!

We just answered 7-letters and answered five phone calls in 50-minutes. It's just below freezing here and not going to get much above that until Saturday. It makes it a little tough for us, all of us, so half of our life is FIGHTING with the weather, but still!!! by SP's mercy we are progressing with the MOE, Museum Book, Carl Jung, Every Bear and BhVai.

O.K. Rush to the bath and kitchen and expect news from Ramag.

Hare Bolo!          Hare Bolo!          Hare Bolo!          .....

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

Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the source of all  other incarnations, and all material and spiritual worlds (basically everything).  The jivas are His parts and parcels and are eternally related to Him.
He is one but has many forms (Rama, Nrsimha, etc.). It is explained that Krsna has many forms because He reciprocates with different moods that devotees have with Him.

How the jiva becomes attracted to some form other then Krsna Svayam Bhagavan (If jiva originally comes directly from Him)?

Your servant Namacarya das

   ASA - Buck White/Tom Brown - One day in Vrndavana, actually the forest and village of Kama, Radharani declared that they were all going to play Rama-lila. She would be Sita and here older brother, Sudhama, would be Ravana and kidnap and hide her, and Krsna with all the Monkeys, gopas, would try to find her.

Well Sridhama did his job so well that Krsna and the cowherd boys couldn't find Radha for a long time and she said, "Oh, goodness! This is too long. Let's go find Krsna and play some other things", but Sridama twirled his theater mustache and said, "Haaa!  Haaa!  Haaa!  I am Ravana, King of Lanka, and I have kidnapped you for my pleasure. You will never see Rama again!".

Radha pleaded but Sridhama was very determined and so She was Kidnapped!

Well, we'll tell you later what happened,

but that is our understanding. All these other Lilas are so much fun. They fit into the Rasa dance, Vrndavan, in their own way. We want some chilis in the subji, but not predominant!

So, Krsna and Radha expand into other forms so They can go on playing these other pastimes forever, without stop.

O.K??

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada and Gurudev.

We very happy and absolutely ready to read Upadesamruta under your direction and to do the home work along with reading Srila Prabhupad's biography.

At present. I'm reading Bhagavad Gita and things which were not clear earlier, slowly revealing the true meaning. And also reading a bit Srimad Bhagavatam and Chaitanya Charitamruta (when they are referenced in BG).

Slowly experiencing the difference between "understanding" and "following/practicing".

Hope to serve the LORD and devotees with you mercy and blessings.

Your humble servant

Subhala sakha Das

              HpS - ASA - Very nice. AGTSP.  Paoho.  How is the family? Who is in the family? Who are your primary associates in Mayapura? How do you make your money. A picture and description of your home altar!!

Our ASA, NOI study guide is at http://www.jayarama.us/archives/tpp-noi.doc

What do you think of it?  Maybe you could edit it and we could co-publish it.

We get to Kolkatta on the 10th morning, February, and then get to Mayapura like 15th evening. We will stay until 24th, then go to Vrndavan and back to USA 1st March! [Lord Vasudeva willing]

Yessss, understanding is Jnana yoga and applying is Bhakti yoga. Of course they are very related, no? If you don't understand then how can you apply? What is family studying?
