Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna gurumaharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. The books on archetypes based on Greek mythology are written by Jean Shinoda Bolen. Perhaps this information will serve your purpose.

I hope this meets you in good spirits.

Your servant,
Raghava Pandit Das
 

HpS - ASA --  AGTSP......   paoho..... thank you so much..  This is very useful. We will start a bibliography of Jung.    We are waiting for some interesting news about your work situation.  You have to network with friends and aquaintances. Do bother them but be enthusiastic.  Probably Krsna will send something interesting.

 I really would like to apologize for my long past letter, i didn’t  know where to start so i said everything.

            ASA - AgtSP.   It is no problem.  In Caitanya-caritamrta, KDK says, "Essential truth concisely expressed is true eloquence".

I’m really sorry.

About what I’ve read in jaya rama about de guru tattva, i have to say that i agree with everything what you said in there. And i feel prepared for making that comitment with you.

I´m improving my sadhana, waking up at 4, chanting my 16 rounds in japa beads and following 4 principles strictly. Also, assist to classes in the temple as much as i can and doing the garlands service 4 days a week. I´m also knitting spring dresses for Sri Sri Goura Nitay.

               asa - Ooooof!   Incredible!

Actually I’m reading Queen Kunti teachings for the fourth time, and this is the first one that i can realize how maya is always trying to put as proves to see how fixed we are in KC. So all the inconveniences I’ve been having, make sense now. And that really comforts me.

                asa - like trainer for a sport, he gives many challenges to the student.  really mostly challenges.

We are preparing a play for offering to Srila Prabhupada´s appearance day. Lot´s of devotees are participating. Due to Balaram purnima, Janmashtami and Srla Prabhupada, there is a very lovely environment everywhere, at least for me.

What would have been of me if Srila Prabhupada had not come.......

               asa - hell past human imagination.

Eternally grateful to SP

All the glories to your lotus feet

In a stupid attempt of trying to aspire to be your servant

                  hps - asa agtsp.   thank you so much. if following everything for six months can be formal aspirant then six months more for first initiation.  become a serving girl in the house of mother saci and help her take car of nimai!

Hare Krishna,   Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupadra y a Sri Guru y Gouranga 

Buen dia Guru Maharaj, espero que para la presente se encuentre muy bien.

          HpS - ASA - Eso es el mundo material.  Sankirtan es bueno.  Esperamos convertir mas eficiente, salud es bien. Hay ya problemas cronicos.  Hermano burro tiene 65 anos.

Les escribo desde Brasil (Seminario Bakty Sastri ).

            ASA (Tio Gismo) - Bhakti Sastri

Queria agradecerle por responder , es bueno saber. Estoy haciendo lo posible por volverme una persona conciente de Krishna, entonces me alegra poder hablar con Usted y recibir sus instrucciones .

            ASA (Puequecito) -  conciente de Krsna significa, "Bhava". Conoce que es Bhava?  Es parte del curso de Bhakti Sastri!!!

Que bueno que me recuerde como cuando empece.. no lo sabia.. y bueno Guru Maharaj, he cambiado desde entonces , me refiero a que seguro progrese , y sobre todo en este seminario.. Cuando lo conoci a Usted era la primera vez que habia ido a un templo, y recuerdo fue muy dificil ver  las deidades porque no queria bailar.. hasta que baile y pude al menos creer. Pero bueno Krishna me dio una muestra gratis, ya que es muy raro de verlo con el corazon.. por lo menos lo se y estube mejorando ! Gracias a Su misericordia. :)

Bueno , otro asunto es que pronto , el 2 de septiembre, le enviaremos la carta .      Prabhu Patrak Das  me dio la sigiente direccion ;" Astor way 304 -Franklin -TN 37064 -Usa."  Pero ocurre que lei recientemente que Usted se encuentra en Tennesse, entonces para esa fecha no me pudieron informar donde seria mejor enviarle el correo. "?"..Intente buscar en el sitio jayarama, pero no lo entiendo bien.. ya me volvere mas experta GM. Disculpe ..

            ASA - Si, eso es la dirreccion.  "TN" significa "Tennnessee".  "USA".  Esperamos!  Monocito y Puerquecito (y tio gismo) le gustan cartas...

Entonces , eso es Gurudeva.. aprendiendo a servir , aspiro ... es un gran desafio, pero siempre primero su ayuda para todo..             Pronto le enviare mas novedades. El seminario termina el 27 de septiembre, y tendremos el examen internacional  tambein.

Su aspirante Yemila, de Cordoba Argentina.

                      ASA - HpS - O.K.   Pero necesitamos su respuesta, que significa "Bhava".

Estimado Hanumatpresaka Swami

Le escribo para reportarme. He comenzado el semestre académico haciendo clases acerca de Carl Jung, el inconsciente colectivo y los arquetipos. Estoy muy emocionado con eso, ya que el tema es muy interesante y me permite acercar a mis alumnos a los temas espirituales. 

Me compré un departamento en el centro de la ciudad y me acabo de mudar hace unos meses. Por eso no tenía internet ni le había escrito una carta antes.

Estoy viviendo con mi mujer y ya pronto vamos a ser padres. 

Estamos muy felices con eso.

También me encuentro trabajando firmemente en el proyecto que usted me encargó, de musicalizar El Néctar de la Instrucción. Espero tenerlo terminado para cuando usted venga a Chile en Octubre.   Pronto le enviaré más noticias de eso.

Eso es todo de momento. Espero que se encuentre bien, y con mi mujer esperamos poder verlo pronto, para poder conversar con usted y escuchar sus clases (y traducir algunas, si usted lo permite).

Muchos saludos.

Hare Krishna gurudeva, please accept my obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Can you clarify why mother Sita is lamenting in the asokavan, while asokavan, according to the name, is a place without soka, lamentation?

I hope this meets you in good spirits.

Your servant,
Raghava Pandit das

             HpS - ASA - AGTSP...  paoho.     We don't know exactly.  Tricky question.  You should become a lawyer.   Please look at http://vedabase.com/en/sb/5/19/5  , like the last paragraph.  Some light, no?   Maybe Her lamentation is Asokavan.

Hare Krisna Gurudev!, please accept my humble obeisances dandavats. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dear  Gurudev, I hope you have a good health. First I want to thank you your last letter responding to my email. I’m sorry not responding earlier, but Carcika d.d. and me had ten vacations days in Malaga.

             HpS - ASA --  Jaya!!   AGTSP......      paoho.....   Krsna, says that among bodies of water He is the ocean!

We were in Malaga Temple with Yadunandana Swami having meetings about the Bhaktivedanta Spanish Institute, preparing the academic program for the next year and enjoying the Hindu festival. I think so near of 600 persons were there.

Three weeks ago we were in New Vrajamandala in a Spanish leaders meeting about Spanish Yatra with Hrydaya Caitanya Prabhu (GBC), Yadunanadana Swami, Kripamoya Prabhu, Jayanta Prabhu, Patita Pavana Prabhu, Gundica Prabhu, Caitanya Candra, Nityananda Prabhu (from Portugal) and others great devotees. We were talking about how we can join the Yatra in Spain through three ways: Training, communication and congregational development.

The 8^th August I went to do sankirtan with Jaramara Haridas, and Krisna gave me his mercy and I distribute my first book of Srila Prabhupada (Science of Self Realization). It was very hard for me, because I have a very strong mind and I wanted to control the situation, but Krisna said: “No!!!!!!!!, I’m the Supreme Controller and you’re my servant”. So, when I said: “Ok, take the control” came to me a philosophy professor, he listened me and took the book I gave him. I finally had to say: “My Lord, You are the Supreme Controller, and I’m your fool servant. You are the Knowledge”.

In Madrid Temple, well (+/-). Tomorrow in the morning Jayanta prabhu sent his demission letter and now it open a time of reflection for all devotees. From here I want to give my humble obeisances to Jayanta prabhu for his service during last thirteen last years. I’m very grateful to him and to all devotees of the Madrid’s Yatra. I think so we must reflect on what we did right or wrong. We must be closer, chant together, take responsibility for the services in the temple and we should be friends and best devotees. All together. We must think which is what Srila Prabhupada wants and how can we serve him and Krisna in the Madrid’s Temple, following the GBC guide in the administration organize and the Guru instructions in the spiritual develop.

              HpS - ASA - It is very hard to appreciate Jayanta Das' service enough. He has given his life for ISKCON Madrid.

Carcika d.d and me are fine, following our daily Sadhana, chanting, etc, working in Bhaktivedanta Spanish Institute and waiting for temple open to serve there. Krisna has the control over Madrid city and we only can serve Him and Him devotees, what else can we do?.

We are thinking about to go to India in November-December for two weeks. Maybe one week in Mayapur and the other one in Vrindavan or two weeks in Vrindavan. I would like you give us your blessing to do that, and I would want to know what are you thinking about our travel program.

              HpS - AGTSP.  If you can go with devotees to Mayapura, Vrndavana, that is nice, buy is important to go to visit those Holy Places. Our travel plans we will put in the DTC in just a few minutes. 

Thank you for all Gurudev, I keep at your Lotus feet.

Your humble servant Dandava Das.

      HpS - ASA -  Please just go ahead as you are. Have a little patience, but we can expect rapid progress!   Please offer our obeisances to Jayanta Das if you see him!!
