Letters to the editor

Hare krishna!! Dandavats pranam !! Jay Srila Prabhupada ki jayy! Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisance unto your lostus feet!!

                ASA -  AGTSP!   "lostus feet", yes our feet have lost us in the material world!

I have so many things to tell you but I will be brief!

Well  the first news : I went to Jagannath Puri for Ratha Yatra festival and I stay for 1 month with some friends from Mayapur . We were doing Parikrama and waiting for the Ratha Yatra and the golden festival. We embraced the lord Jagannath, Baladev and Subradra , and for me it was a wonderful experience  and so much mercy !!

                      ASA - God!!!!       Patita-pavana.

Second news: I arranged my sister engagement with Yamunacarya Das from Slovakia, he is a very good devotee and he is a book distributer, he was leading ( Sankirtan)  Book distribution in Slovakia for 10 years . He is disciple of H.H Kadamba kanana swami.   Now they are together and they will get married on 16^th august 2013. My sister is so happy and they will start to work together.

                        ASA -  O.K.   God bless them.   Is going to be many problems, but they can use them to go back to Godhead.

We have some business project for the future and we are planning something,  let’s see what happens. I will tell you soon.

My father is good; he is working by his own business in Lima, and he is doing service in chosica-temple on weekends.  His sadhana is not so good because of his job. And he is chanting regularly 16 rounds.

Can you tell me how to write his name? And what does it means? Please!!

              ASa  -  We gave name Aruna-aksa Das, no?   Means Krsna, whose eyes are red like the rising sun, no?

Thank you very much Gurudeva and thanks for give us your valuable time; I hope your health is better. I know u are working very hard and still u are doing so much service for Srila Prabhupada !!

 Vanca kalpa!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada ki jayy !!

Ys-Caitanya Candrodaya Das.

                    HpS - AGTSP.....   Just keep chanting.   Sleep with people who always get u for full morning program...  buuup.....   then you will see the mission that Krsna has for you.

Hare krishna!! Dandavats Pranam !! Jay Srila Prabhupada ki jayy !! Dear Gurudeva, Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet.

                  HpS - AGTSP......   paoho...... little bit swollen feet.

I beg you for forgiveness... Please!!. I'm a fallen soul and I’m not regular in my sadhana and also in my reports,

               ASA - You will, perhaps take birth as a frog in Kolkatta and live in a pond with other frogs near the ISKCON temple eating flies!

i recognize that everything is my fault but even if  i don’t write you, I'm always reading the Kapi-Dhvaja and i'm always thinking about you and Radha and krishna !! But still i recognize that i have to become more serious in everything!!

                              ASA - Yep, its a fact.  Kamsa was always thinking about Krsna, but well if you read the Kapi Dhvaja always then you will perhaps again at least take birth in Kokatta near the temple.

.... I need your mercy Gurumaharaj!!

                          ASA - You already got it!!!!    Are getting it!!!  Gotta use it!     Whoop!   Whoop!

....Only by your mercy i will surpass everything, I'm always trying and trying.....to do my best but i always fall down because I’m not strong enough, i desire to become a good devotee and help in this wonderful movement of lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, sometimes I’m very strong and enthusiastic and i feel so happy in that moment but suddenly i fall down because I don’t have good bhajan.  This is very difficult for me. And I think for everyone who has attachment for material desires. I’m such a rascal and I’m not serious.  I always pray for mercy to Lord Gouranga and Nityananda , Radha Madhava and Lord Nrisimha deva and you too.

I always pray to Lord Krishna for keep me close to the Vaishnavas and in this Krishna consciousness movement!! I understand that this is a process and I have wait and just keeping chanting and serving the lord Krishna and his devotees.

So please Gurudeva I need you to pray to Krishna to let me reach my goals in this life and in Krishna consciousness, I need intelligent for do the right things and for that I need to read more Srila Prabhupada’s Books.

My sadhana sometimes is very good and sometimes very bad, but somehow by the mercy of the Guru and vaishnavas.  I’m still chanting Hare Krishna maha mantra and doing my sadhana !!  Now- feeling happy because I understand so many things about life, Iskcon… etc.  

I’m very fortune for stay here in the holy-dham for long time and whatever is happening to me now, it’s just mercy by the Lord Gouranga and Nityananda. Thank you Gurudeva for everything and even for appear in my dreams sometimes and chanting and remembering me to chant the holy name of the Lord Hare krshna……… maha mantra. when  sometimes i feel sad, alone and etc. you  and my family are always with me.

Vanca kalpa!! 

Your servant- Caitanya Candrodayada Das.

                        ASA -  Whooop!    Whoooop....   We fall down and eat ice-cream when we shouldn't.     Just work hard when the modes are good and go fast and your best to not fall down as much as you could when the modes are bad.  Then.......  we make progress.....  we become more and more our natural, spiritual, servant, selves.   Keep struggling.  Help your father!

Maharaja por favor acepte mis reverencias 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada¡

Todas las glorias Sri Sri Guru y Sri Gauranga¡

AGTSP
(((paoho)))            Here we are in the NIOS office in Murfreesboro, Tennesee.  It's not so hot today.  Usually so hot in the afternoon we can't work.  Of course is little tough being alone, but is also nice being alone.  Now it is our service to be alone so we try to do it properly.

Yesterday we spent hours working on the Annual NIOS, Akhanda Kirtana and Symposium. Also, considerable time reading the laws for schools in Texas.  "The magic will not be done by you, nor me, nor any living being. The magic will be done by Krsna when we become pure devotees of Krsna".

We answered a ton of letters today and have letters from three days ago to answer tomorrow.     Where is Sita devi?   How can we help Her?    If these Goloka Education Primary Schools start then we can save thousands of kids from the "slaughter house".

           O.K.  Enough for today.    We offered Lord Nrsmha deva two glasses of apple juice,  a small bowl of granola cooked with milk and his daily Kitri of rice, carrots and garbanza beans with a little ghee and salt.  Later he needs some boiled milk.

                              Now we should end the computer work to save our eyes, read more of Carl Jung's biography, and rest with our feet up, and at 5PM Tandavika Das is coming and at about 6PM we go to NGD's house and will call Texas with Abhiseka about Primary School and then go for our regular 45-minute walk.

             Hari Bolo!!!          

Hare Krsna Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I mentioned to Annette from Fort Collins how nice your class was that she was so kind as to host, and she sends her obeisances to you.

In response to your inquiry about Sri Sri Radha Damodara's associates, Advaita Acharya was the temple president there when I started going to Gita Nagari almost 10 years ago.  He is a very great devotee, and was the first brahmacari to give me training.  Currently he is president in San Antonio, Texas, at a preaching center.  Just last week he had marriage yanja with a nice gurukuli devotee from Houston named Kalindi Mataji!

Mother Jagganath is a very close associate of Radha Damodara.  She wakes early, I believe around 2:30 or perhaps earlier to make burfi to wake Their Lordships with, then prepares breakfast and sometimes also raj bhoga.  I used to enjoy cleaning Sri Radha's kitchen, cutting vegetables, cleaning the Lord's plates, washing pots, etc in her association.

Mother Kaulini is another very close associate of Radha Damodara.  If I recall correctly, she was temple president after Advaita Acharya left and spent some time in Mexico.  I enjoyed her association and received some instruction from her... she is very sweet.  For some time her health was not doing so well, unfortunately, and she had to spend some time in New York in the care of devotees while she recovered.  It looked unfavorable for a while, but, I am happy to hear that she has recently returned to Gita Nagari!!

Pariksit is a nice assocate also.  He is very learned and gives good bhagavatam class.  He had spent some time at the Rupanuga Vedic College, but I believe he may be back at Gita Nagari now.

Acharya and Sudevi are very kind associates of Their Lordships.  Acharya is a kind brahmin, and Sudevi was very kind to have given me her blessings and mercy in personal events and relations at Gita Nagari, including helping to arrange yajna.  I am grateful for her assistance, as well as Acharya's.

I just heard yesterday from Mother Nidra that Tulsi Balava and Caroline are visiting Gita Nagari as I write this to see Tulsi's guru maharaja, Radhanath Swami Maharaja!  I will call them shortly and humbly request to send my obeisances to Radha Damodara and my close associates at Gita Nagari, who I have not seen for a while!

It is exciting to hear we have a connection still to Gita Nagari and Their Lordships.  Actually, Chota Gaura Nitai here at the Denver temple are the Chota Gaura Nitai that traveled with Radha Damodara on the bus tour!  So even here, there is a connection to Them.  This is so nice!

Maharaja, I have been trying to read your recommended books, and have been thoroughly enjoying them.  I read Light of the Bhagavata (very nice! I see why you put much focus on it), Nectar of Instruction (and re-read the sloka/translation 2 more times, and will go back to translations/purports that I felt inspired by), and the biography of Lord Chaitanya in Srimad Bhagavatam.  Next is Prabhupada Lilamrta, but I am first going through Science of Self Realization again, because it is such a nice book.  Because Lilamrta is so long, I may read some shorter books alongside it.  Then after Lilamrta will be Your Ever Well Wisher.  I have a desire to start at the Bhagavatam soon!  It will greatly help my ability to preach and assist my sankirtan.

                HpS -   We were recommending "Your Ever Well Wisher" to start with, not "Lilamrta", because, like you say it is so long, but main thing is read whatever inspires you to do good constantly.

Madhukari arrived at Radha Govinda Mandir earlier this week.  He is very inspiring, and I am working on building a nice relationship with him.  We will see where it goes.  Mother Nidra also has been giving great instruction on sankirtan, I am so lucky to have her association to learn from her impressive ~40 year service of distributing books every day!  I am very thankful for her kindness towards me.

I am trying to give up on making my own plan, as Krsna likes to put obstacles in those plans, and trying to see what His plan is for His benefit.  It will be revealed with time, we will see.

Your servant,
Bhakta David II

                  HpS-   Jaya.   Thank you for the news.  We feel like we are in the Temple.   We want very much to always be a part of New Badarikasrama.   Please send more news as things develop.  Is Gopal's Prasadam open again.
