Letters to the editor

AGTSP

Here we are in Tandavika Das' Ashrama in Franklin, Tennessee. They are son kind to give us some shelter for our service. It is a challenge to decide how much we should rest this body and how much we should push it.

Definitely we there is big room for making our "resting", recreation, more Krsna conscious, but... pur eyes and heart cannot function at 66-years old like they did at 46-years old.

We answered the three most recent letters and chose one older one.

In this way maybe we can maintain the Blog communication for some time more.

We did our on-line banking. Are packing for Houston, Mexico, pick our bead bag up and chant one Mantra every few minutes.

Japa Joe starts in 15-minutes.

Kapi Dhvaja got off and and and.... We really started serious Tava-pache-pache writing. That is clearly our 1st writing priority. We are using a 9-3/4  x 7-1/2 inch hard-bound note book and it is going very, very well. We got a lot of impetous, as always, from reading Satsvarupa Goswami's books.

So, we are really seeing how much, Guru, NIOS, ASA work we can do. The contrast of our visit to India with association of senior devotees and no internet was very, very helpful in getting a contrast. Now we are applying it.

Honestly our energy has improved like 7-times in the last few days after this travel. We were fighting with cold weather every day for three weeks, all of us.

Very, very important now is this weekend when we will go to visit Nitai-gaurasundara, Abhiseka et al. They had new inspiration from the ILS meetings etc. My plans and abilities depend on them, all of you.

We hope to meet with ASA devotees in Mexico and Krsna-Balarama Das.

Hare Krsna. . .

After all considerations these size notebooks seem the best and handwriting seems superior and then they can be photo reduced 2/3rds for direct publishing or re-edited if they have value. We will write TPP Step One, Step Two... Running behind Srila Prabhupada, After words to the NOI. Thank you all.

Twitter is still good but will see how it balances with these DTCs.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

BG 7.1

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Now hear, O son of Pṛthā, how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt.

Does Krsna mean here the 7th chapter or all the Gita from this point on? In other words, is this "how" (from the verse) explained in 7th chapter or is explained in all the forward  chapters  (7 to 18)?

Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya das

             HpS - AGTSP. Does Bhurijana Das, "Surrender Unto Me" give a commentary? I am not expert in Gita, but as I understand at the 13th Chapter Krsna regresses to more preliminary topics, like gong back to the Cover of the Book level that He presented from 1-6.

Dear Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

How are you? I just want to thank you for your  advices. I will try to follow them.

Thank you also for your patience and your mercy.

Wishing to be your humble servant.

Purnamasi devi dasi

            AGTSP - We hope our advice is of some value. We follow it. We put fun before politics, having fun with devotees, friends, but sincere devotees like you all take the very, very, important work of politics seriously. Thank you! Do it like Arjuna and Draupadi!

Hare Krsna Querido Y Recordado GURUDEVA

Porfavor Acepte mis Humildes Reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srla Prabhupada

Espero q esta carta lo encuentre en buen estado de salud.

HpS - O.K. pero tenemos 66-anos en esta cuerpo y los ojos, por ejemplo, no pueden funcionar tan fuerte para interenet como antes.

Gurudeva gracias a su miscericordia y a las bendiciones de nuestras autoridades directas P Aravinda, Guruprasad Swami y Bhakti Busana Swami, los libros pudieron ser traidos de venezuela a Colombia, pues por la dificil situacion de Venezuela amenazaban con quemar los libros, pero gracias a Goura y  a Nitay todas las 51 cajas de libros ya estan a salvo y estan siendo distribuidas en una marato que estamos llevando acabo aqui en colombia. Hay dos grupos de sankirtan de devotos y devotas nosotros estamos en la zona norte de colombia y las devotas en la zona sur, parece que los libros tenian mucho desceo de ser distribuidos porque pudimos cubrir la cuota de toda la semana que perdimos intentando recuperarlos en tan solo 3 dias, Krsna es muy miscericordioso.

                  HpS - ASA - Senor Caitanya es TAN BONDADOSO....

Gurudeva me he enterado que estara en Mexico DF en  GOURA PURNIMA :(  me alegra mucho por los devotos del df, pero esos dias nosotros estaremos a mitad de la maraton aqui en colombia, y desafortunadamente no podre estar en su visita, sin emvargo mi corazon esta a sus pies intentando seguir su intruccion y la de Srla Prabhupada, seguimos  en la calle distribuyendo esta filosofia trascendental, aumentando la cantidad de rondas diaras a 20 min, 4 principios, mangala y gurupuja Diario.

                    HpS - Super Hombre!

Querido Gurumaharaja, porfavor expliqueme como puedo avanzar en mi servicio devocional a la suprema personalidad de Dios, pues aun no he podido controlar los seis impuldos, y me cuesta mucho trabajo tener intercambios amorosos con los devotos, soy como una oveja en la calle pero un leon con los devotos, las austeridades del habla siguen siendo mi gran debilidad y no siento apego aun por cantar el santo nombre de manera entusiasta, debo seguir cortando las malas hiervas de mi corazon.

gracias por su miscericorda para conmigo Gurudeva, cada vez que medito en Ud la alegria viene a mi servicio devocional y la calle se vuelve como un templo.

Su Sirviente

                        HpS - Pues Vd. conocen MUY BIEN todo las requisitos por que esta citando las faltas de una manera muy experto. Un tonto no conocen cuales son los faltas. Esta indica bastante advanza. Pienso es claro Vd. estuva un monje, devoto, en su vida anterior.

Pienso tiene que adelantar en la linea que sigue, eso es el mejor, afilando, no cambiando.
Voy a quedar en Sankirtan viajero para mas tiempo?
Voy a seguir Kardama Muni y ser casado con "Devahuti" y tener Senor Kapila para Hijo? O va a seguir sendero de Narada Muni? Indicacion?

All glory to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humbles obeisances

            HpS - Very nice. AGTSP. The external Sadhana seems O.K. Now the question is how you are advancing internally. Do you know this gradation "adau sraddha, sadhu sanga..."? What level are you on? It is in Text Seven purport of NOI
