Letters to the editor

Querido Gurudeva: Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada. Ya ha comenzado la nueva temporada del Templo. El domingo estuvimos allí y fue maravilloso. Jara Mara hizo un bhajan precioso, Jayanta dio la clase y Dandavat hizo la puja.

                 HpS -  Jaya!!!   TlgaSP.   Si podemos trabajar juntos es muy feliz, no??

Por su parte, Jagat mohan preparó un prasadam espectacular. Yo ya estoy en la recta final del embarazo, esperando a que la niña nazca en cuanto quiera. Espero que, Krisna mediante, todo salga normal y pueda seguir acudiendo al Templo para servir a los devotos. Mi intención es seguir con el Gurukula. Esperando se encuentre bien de salud. Su aspirante a humilde sirvienta, Purnamasi devi dasi

All glories to SP & Gauranga

Maharaja I've been working things out lately as things have cropped up in family life.. My father was sadly arrested a few days ago for digital fraud in his online trading. It doesn't look good. Because of this me and my siblings have been forced to move away. After a big family meeting my siblings have gone to my fathers grandparents house while I stay with my mothers grandparents for education in Boise. My grandather has very short patience although he's been kind enough to tolerate this situation, I'm grateful he has let me live with him for sake of college schoolwork, but it's been hard these few days avoiding eating questionable vegeterian food & onions/garlic.

All this crazy has encouraged me to do my 16-4, I've taken sri sri goura-nitai with me here and packed Jagganath, Baladeva and subhadra away safely with my other deity forms. I'm sort of sad my siblings will be going away, I told them they can make they're own choices in devotional life as to what they want to eat and do and we all may have to make some sacrifices for now.. My fathers grandparents are very inimical towards K-con sadly..

My mother is in Europe and wanted by police in the states. I respect her because she's my mother but I just cannot agree with her on many things. She's a devotee so I don't want to commit vaisnava aparadha. I wish her well..

But I remember the Gita and know this is just Karma and our reactions, also to not lament over things cause that's just ignorance. Family is just like the temporary meeting of strangers passing by. I've been taking steps to securing a GED and becoming a full-time student in order to secure student loans and grants for college. I'm hoping everything will be possible by your grace maharaja. I really just want to know your not upset with me over all the foolish things I've done.. ..

Sorry about all the crazy. But things seem O.K. now, I was very happy to help serve for Janmastami festival at the Boise temple and fast.

              HpS - ASA -  Wow!     AgtSP.        What a circus!     You never told us anything about this stuff before.    Well, we all have our Karma.     A lot of time this stuff runs in the family, being politicians or thieves or artists...   We can join Krsna.  He's a thief. Your response seems good so far.  You have nice friends in Boise to help you make decisions.  Try to keep the onion and garlic out, but the meat, fish or eggs is basically non-negotiable requierement.

I wanted to ask some questions though maharaja.

1). Why in this age of kali has man created such wonderful things like Internet, Radio, Computers, Phones, TV, Video cameras, airplanes, printers, electricity, 'Modern medicine to cure diseases', cars, etc. But don't seem to be something in previous ages?

             HpS - You look at miracle like the Pyramids of Giza and so many other things and it seems that they had this high-tech stuff, maybe geo-magnetizm, but was probably much more efficient and the demigods made a better general atmosphere. Don't need a lot fo this stuff on Hawaii.  Even the pigs were eating mangos in Hawaii.

Although besides the heavy petrochemical pollution it puts on Bhumi and her oceans, it gives everyone this great sense of mans "evolution" towards 'space travel', independance from any 'god', and the 'pursuit of happiness'.

             HpS - The demons acquire many mystical powers. Krsna lets them thing they are God!

2). If the moon is really in vedic astronomy extremely far away, why do astronauts and scientists claim to have gone there to a dead rock and collected samples? In fact "China" is planning to visit the moon at the end of this year..

          HpS - Look at BG 8.25.  Sometimes P'pada talks about this subtle aspect of the moon and going there and other times going to the gross aspect. The distances then depend on which destination you are talking about.     Big topic.     Many people thought that the gross trip involved cheating.  Maybe the first one was faked and others were real...  I think if you look for Moon Hoax on the YouTube you will drown in an ocean of problems with the trip.

with all forgiveness your fallen servant,

Bhakta Reilly G.

All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to you Gurudev and please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet’s

                    HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP.  I think we have not yet got our lotus feet back. We are maybe sporting apple-blossom feet if we are lucky.

....First of all Gurudev I want to tell you that here in La Paz we had a great Sri Krsna Janmastami J, we had around 60 people in temple that day <img alt="smiley" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />,

              HpS - Jaya!!!!  Wonderful.  In Houston, Texas they report 6,000 and Mayapura was probably like 25,000 just because more than that could not get through the doors. We had about 60 in Virginia also.  Was so nice, no?   Krsna taking birth in our life!

...I wonder if  Lord Sri Krsna will be happy with the effort that we made.

I also want to tell you Gurudev that we already started the Bhakti Sastri program, we are in the 4^th week, I so happy for that <img alt="smiley" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" />.

My question Gurudev is about the ekadasi, I’m a little confuse because some devotees told me that if we shave in ekadasi we break it, but some devotees told me that nothing happened if we shave in ekadasi . So that’s why I’m have this question in my mind for a long time.

                 HpS - Srila Prabhupada does not give any details like that so it must not be so important. Idea is to minimize necesitties of the body, so seems best to not use any time for shaving.

I also had a beautiful dream the other day, I dreamed with two big Krsna-Balarama deities, I woke up so happy that day, but I also was wondering the meaning of my dream.

                      HpS -  Ha!    Ha!   Why does it have to have any "meaning".  You were just with Krsna-Balarama and They were with you.  Maybe there is some meaning.  I don't know what it was.  In general it means that we are not happy being away from Goloka!!!

I hope your health it’s going well

Hare Krsna!

Jay Srila Prabhupada!!!

  ASA -  We attach a picture!

Respected Maharaj, PAMHO,AGTSP
how are you? and esp your swollen feets?

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP.....   They are much better. Just little swelling in right foot.  What is the difference?  Less time sitting at the table???

....if you remember we communicated with a very good muslim preacher, he has written back here. Though we intially contacted him, on your behalf. Please forgive for offences.

===========================

HpS  -  ASA -   Wow!       I would write back to him and tell the truth.  Tell him you showed us the exchange and that it was surprising and funny to us that you had used our name, but the basic principles are true.  Then look at the "bhumir apo 'nalo.." verse in chapter seven and see if the purport and text are good to send him as a start of a dialog. I think we are going to get into deeper discussions as soon as we get to the nature of the soul.

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

Thank you for your response to my letters. Regarding your inquiry on my worksituation, there is indeed interesting news to tell. Last friday i got a call that a big taxicompany wants me as a driver for elderly and handicapped people. I have been a driver for many years, and it i like it very much. I am renewing my license now, which will take about a month.

Hooray for that, but what's really interesting, and what i'm still a little reserved about is what happened sunday. A friend offered us to move into her house in Rotterdam. It is a rental, but if we like it, she would talk with the landlord to have us as new renters. We still live near Amsterdam in the house of the friend who is in India, so we need to move anyway, and want to, so this might be the opportunity. The remarkable thing is that the taxicompany is a big mothercompany, with the office seated in Rotterdam! They said i could keep working for them, just at another district. How things suddenly move in a rapid. Isn't Krishna the Ultimate planner!? But, things still need to unfold. I will keep you informed. Thank you for your concerns, good care and wishes.

We are looking forward to another day of festival tomorrow, Srila Prabhupada's holy appearance. For you it might be retrospect, so we wish you had nice days of devotional services and bliss, and may you be working efficiently. Jay!

Your aspiring servant,

Raghava Pandita das.

           HpS - ASA -  Jaya!  AGTSP.   paoho.  Your beautiful dark complexioned friend Sri Krsna is so merciful to the poor brahmanas like yourself, that He can only be compared to a generous raincloud.  Jayananda Das drove taxis and developed so many ways to preach.  For example, he would put a BTG magazine on the back seat or a book and when the next passenger got in the passenger would say, "Oh, there's a book here. Maybe somebody left it".  He said, "Oh, really, the fare was a really fare-out couple from India. What does the book say." They would read from the content and he would discuss it with them and then he would tell them to take it with them, and they would give him the fare and a tip!

     Diary of a Teacher Creature

3 September 2013   -   Planet of the Business Apes.

Hare Krsna, Parbhus.   AGTSP    paohho.        here we are in Subal-saka Das' home in Richmod, Virgnia, USA.    He is a computer Dude and Radhika ramana Das is visitinng also.  Today (now is 4.28AM) we fly to Tennessee.  Our feet are like not swollen, but now we still have an infection in the urinary tract and seems that the tooth next to the one that went back to Godhead is also infected at the root as our dentist suspected. Our right thigh bone still has arthitis pain and our eyes are weaker with old age. Our short term memory is diminished, but our digestion and respiration and heart action are good.

          Ha!             Ha!                     Ha!!!!!    Such a trip.   THis body is a joke.   Like trying to ride on an old exahusted motor cycle.   All the work with academic printing is going on. Unless we are always close to Srila Prabhupada's feet and chanting HK/KR other things are distorted or poisonous!    HK  HR!!!!!!!       .....   O.K.  Mangala arati for Nrsmha deva.
