Letters to the editor

Dandvats to TB, UG and BW..
Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO,AGTSP,

hope you[HpS] will read this letter in Nashville. we are very much thank full association of Complete ASA. Last few weeks we were listening to mind talk "saying even if Dwarf joins ASA, he wont be able to keep the minimum requiremens. {the one rule}".
However Krsna never wants us to go back . <cite>We got some hope, </cite>When you  gave nice example about sincerity and determination [<cite>sb/4/8/30]  from Boise on [ 6 july]. You gave your own example.

But then little doubt again arose by reading the reply to letter --</cite>
http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/node/3203.."Of course, if there is an earthquake and one end of the bridge falls into the Pacific Ocean then no one criticizes the bridge maker for insufficient bridge.  If you test yourself under basic conditions and you can follow now, then you are ready for formal initiation.  You are not responsible for un-predictable situations.".... Now what are these unpredictable situations especially in matters of Illicet sex {if any}. We are holding our intiation progress because even we may
dont break this rule for one year get intiation, we can not make life time commitment {as we understand}. the bridge may fall. [neeed to understand, it is becasue of earthquake or construction problems].

                HpS - ASA -   AGTSP.   Paoho.   Would you put up a bridge and see it last for one year with every expectation that it might fall down if there were cars on it, and if it held up for one year, with that same doubts then allow to cars to travel over it?

No.

For one year you see that your bridge will work. You give it tests under different conditions and then open it with confidence that people, Krsna, is safe. We don't criticize engineer if California falls in the ocean, but we do criticize if he knew that there was doubt under practical conditions. We can overcome that. Sexual relations are natural. 

sadhana update:-- 16 rounds, 4 rules, SB- 1 chap a week, Karma Yoga of family seems better [with helpe of Asrama gurus], jnana yoga of PhD is also better under new guide[http://www.som.iitb.ac.in/~bhargava/] . 
Gopal Diety-- the standard of cleanliness and regualirty have decreased. Need to make it more consistent.
             HpS - Keep your Gopal healthy!
We were curious what did you present [http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/node/3176]  from ET hall "Dance of Time" book in Australia.

               HpS - We don't know????

In node 3129 you wrote--"Honestly, I am very impressed with your determination" . we are typical Ksatriya "death before dishonor", however we fall many times because we are not intelligent, may be brave. {one can not be ksatriya alone- he needs support system. Jay BHVAI}. Moreover Krsna is also determined, he keeps on sending differen gurus in all Time , Place ,Cicrumstances. Atleast we can reciprocate little bit of that. {{we wish we can have battle of wrestling like Chandoon with SPOG, and see drop of sweat coming from his lotus face--adhbhut}}.

can you tell us result of Beard Experiment?
               HpS - We shaved it off the first day we arrived and got sissors and razor! -[;0)==
It was fun.  Everyman should grow a beard at least once in his lifetime. Gave us a lot of self realization who we are. Gave skin a relief from Shaving!

We would try to  assist you as much as we can in your Sankirtana of Manipur and Kolkata.

We got lot of help in parenting from this page- http://www.iskconeducation.org/articles/books_123

we are sorry to disappoint you in many fronts, asrama, sadhana, seva. But all this faults are very helpful if they motivate us to take shelter of SPOG and parampara.

Please convery our thanks to Mother Urmila, if you get chance to communicate with her. for helping such a fallen man.
regards,
Dwarf/t

               HpS - ASA -  AGTSP.   Thank you. Nice letter. Gives us strength and will be six times better if you go through them one time more after you write them to edit punctuation etc.  Thank you.

Abhirama Th. Das et al

Por favor acepta nuestras reverencias humildes.  Ya estamos segunda dia en nuestra base en Tennessee.  Llegando Martes a casa de Tandavika Das en Franklin y Viernes, despues de organizar cosas un poco, vamos a nuestra Oficina, Ashrama, de NIOS/ASA en Murfreesboro con Nitai-gaurasundara Das y su hijo Abhiseka. Alla el internet va a funcionar despues de la proxima Miercoles y vamos a ver si es comodo para trabajar. Ya son 100 grados cada dia aqui. De esta manera puede ver que hace tiempo para hacer que cosas funciona, pero aun ya es mejor que viajando.

Honestamente yo y Tandavika Das ambos pensamos ir a Sud America en Octubre va a ser deficil, pero posible. Depende en lo que pasa.  Tenemos que enfocar en entender que quiere Krsna de nosotros escribir.

Tenemos ideas.

Ya tenemos esta show de power point.

http://www.jayarama.us/archives/japa-joe.pptx

Es buen parte de lo que esperamos hacer.

1. Diagolo con Donald Campbell: Esta pptx citado encima. (El Contenido tengo que cambia)

2. Comenzando un diagolo con Carl Jung, comenzando re-leer su Tavistock Lectures.

3. Llegando a un punto donde vale imprimir un libro en Ingles y Espanol, entonces vale viajar despues de hay un reaccion al libro.  Jaya

   AGTSP....   paoho.     We made it!      It was a long, hard struggle, but in the end Lord Nrsmhadeva prevailed. After two autos, two airplanes, three airports and 9-1/2 hours of travel we are sitting in "our" room in Franklin, Tennessee.

Gotta headache but doing O.K.

Trip was Booooring!

Impersonal.  Only personal thing was one passenger who sat next to us on Phoenix to Nashville. Didn't get any books to take with us, but chanted 45-rounds!

O.K.  8.40PM    KRSNA book and take rest.   Japa Jose is set for the new hour.

TB/BW  ...

14 Letters in about 1 hour and 20 minutes!    AGTSP    paoho.   That's 80minutes/14 letters = 5.714285714285714 minute/ letter.   We have little headache etc after doing it but is mercy.  Unless we can serve the devotees we will probably serve our senses.

Now it in Monday 5.36PM in Srivasa Thakur, Kumari Gita-priya and Srimati Mailini devi dasi's home,ashrama.         We have 14-rounds only today.  During Japa Joe we were losing conneccion, napping!   Happens, very very rarely.   We had 8 hours of classes both Saturday and Sunday.

   Now we have got the last of our stuff from CCD and M. Subra's home and our other luggage packed.  We leave at 7.30AM for the airport here in San Jose and arrive in Franklin (at Tandavika, Musa, Kosa, and M. Minas home) at 9.30PM time here!  Long trip. We can chant some more rounds on that trip.    Will be a lot of physical stress, pain, but is worthwhile.

We are now finished with our Europe, India, USA, South America, global travel. Now we have to put writing about Goloka in the front. If our energy returns and it is good for writing then we will go to South America.  Europe and  India... the rest of the world.

In any case we are all going to die (so better to die doing Sankirtana).

          Sunday, SKYPE with Me, Rama-giridhari and Nitai-gaurasundara.  Abhiseka, NIOS, Sri(ni)vasa et al are looking to import 350 of the Goloka Education Sanskrita sets and sell them!!!            Arrange a consultation visit for Prana and Rama-giridhari for the Houston Temple for establishing the first NIOS-Goloka Education Primary School in USA.

        Talked with Dr. Samaresh this morning. Distributing our books with him is going ahead, albeit slow. As more people can help Abhiseka, the more we can do.

              O.K.  At 6.30PM we go to evening program in Rasa Das' home.   Still have lots of rounds to chant, Bh. Vai to read and bath.  Guess we do the bath and chant Japa in route and more tommorrrow and read tommorrow.

KRSNA book and hot milk when we return.  Thank you!!

All glories to Guruji and Gouranga

Some selected quotations for questionable.

There are more than five hundred thousand incarnations of Manu in only one universe, besides other incarnations in different universes. B 1.16.30

If the Yogi is perfect he can select the time and situation for leaving this material world.    Bhag. 8.23

<wbr><wbr><wbr></wbr></wbr></wbr>

<wbr><wbr><wbr>

<wbr><wbr><wbr></wbr></wbr></wbr>

<wbr></wbr>

 Mystics who are advance in Yoga practice can arrange the time and place to leave the body. Bhag. 8.24

 We heard that the two sons of Madri, Nakul and Sahadeva were born through the blessings of Aswani Kumar but in the Bhagabatam 1:14:22  it is mentioned that Nakul and Sahadeva were born directly through the union Pandu and Madri. Which one is correct? Kindly acknowledge me.

             ASA - AGTSP.   We THINK that "through union of Pandu and Madri" is a mistake, but maybe it is other, universe or something.  We know no more!

Yours sincerely,

Yamunesevara Das

dwarf has just copy paste as it is

HpS - Thank you kind Dwarf.     Yamunesvara Das, we hope so much that you can get your entrance into this Blog arranged, but communicating here through Harsh is also much better than letters by Yahoo.   Thank you so much.  We hope that there are more and more letters here.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru maharaj

Please accept my humble obesciences, all glories to Srila Prabhupad.

I think, there is something in me which doesnt want me to proclaim that I am religious. Part of it is the low confidence level I have about myself and if I talk something foolish or if I do any mistakes then devotees who are following will get bad name. Also, As I am very fickle minded and not being very determined about myself and I fear that I might fall down and start eating onion again. 

Lately I have been successfull in not eating Onion and Garlic, but that tendency to go with the flow is there. I would like to follow the principles for 5 months and 16 days more and want to request you to accept me as a formal aspirant for initiation.

your aspiring servant

Nataraj

                HpS - ASA - AGTSP...  Paoho.  You make your "Stupid Ass", body, avoid onion and garlic for five months and tell anybody who asks that it is very dificult for your body.  Your doing Yoga for your health and giving up onion and garlic is important for any real yogi.

Then if you can follow for six months and then have the honest determination to follow forever, you can become Aspirant.  IN your case this will be like eating three atomic bombs. Stick with it.  There has been nothing but benefit by doing these austerities so far.  Bigger and better rewards await you!
