Letters to the editor

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami maharaja,
Please accept my obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It feels like it took me a long time to reply regarding our family's options for Spain, but here goes. Marriage is May 13, arrival near NVM the evening after, the 14th. We leave from Madrid, the 21st. A friend arranged a bungalow from one of the devotees nearby NVM, apparently about 10 minute walk. I have looked into the option to travel to Valencia for initiationceremony, but sad enough i had to conclude it doesn't work out very well for us. Monetary situation is a bit uncertain, but also for our little Mani, who will be 5 months then, a bit young to subject to that much travelling. I'm sorry to not be able to follow your suggestion.

I have a letter of recommendation, but it might be different than requested. TP Markandeya asked me to write down the basics for such a letter, but i wrote from a personal point of view, which wasn't quite the standard, he said. He did accept the content and signed it, but mentioned to put it before you to ask if you think it's okay, otherwise we'll do it again, and he'll write it. I added a scan in two pictures below.

What else is going on? Besides familytime and keeping up nicely with the 16-4 i started adding content in Dutch to the national Hare Krishna website, specifically articles written by Sadaputa prabhu. I've always liked him, and i guess you inspired me in Brussels with the science topics. Plus i heard you mention TKG's remark how science is such an important preaching field. Other than that, i just finished condensing 7th canto chapter 2 to 8 into a short story of 4300 words for our magazine. It came out very nice, Hiranyakasipu & Prahlada's story with some of the philosophy. A nice read for young and old. Now i can go back to science articles again, and i will investigate how to publish e-books online. To start with, we have Dhaneshvara's nice book about economics and Bhagavad-gita in Dutch. Idea is to start with an e-book, make money, then print real books. And to see what could be next to put out. So, happy in service! Sleeping and getting up is a bit unregular though. Could use some improvement.

And a thank you note for the great classes that you gave to the internet group, last december and january. I guess it was the facilitator who was so kind to record and put them online. They were deep, insightful, and very rich in connection with thoughts on society. Also it is nice to follow your classes from Australia, both visually and auditive. I'm very happy to follow you.

Good luck in India, and with all your projects, and see you in Spain! Hare Krishna, dandavat pranam.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

HpS - ASA -  Jaya... AGTSP   paoho.       We are in Kolkatta. We will write a DTC in just a few moments with your newz.    Then it seems that we can do a ceremony in NVM, no?  It doesn't have to be very elaborate. We can do it in the cowshed. Ha!   Ha!  Ha!          Very inspiring your writing.  We can talk a lot about that when we meet. I think your family will be very, very refreshed by NVM!!    Moooo!

Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obesciences. All glories to Srila Prabhupad. Thank you for taking time to respond to this fallen person. Thank you very much for your kind response.

I have closely observed myself in why I am addicted to Onion Garlic. Please dont publish it and keep it confidential

 ...

HpS - ASA - AgtSP  Paoho.  We have sent an answer to your "confidential" comments at the addresses we have in our Yahoo book.  Did you get them?

Honestly it is more than we can handle to answer too many individual letters like this.  It is not just you. There are maybe six more people who read the Blog who are in just the same situation as you. So if you can put dialog in a comfortable general sense, or even log in from an anonymous account then it will help us a lot.

Your sincerity in regards to advance in spiritual life is unique. Krsna is taking note of all that you are doing.  You seem to be just one little step away from knocking down a big wall. Don't give up!

Por las cuales este tonto que le escribe puede seguir cantando un poco mas de 16 rondas por dia ,los 4 principios ,estoy siguiendo Ekadasi con ayuno completo, sigo fijo en mi servicio en el templo y leyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada ya termine el Caitanya Caritamrita completo el Nityananda Caritamrita y comence a leer nuevamente El Srimad Bhagavatam. Mi sankirtana es todavia flojo , en realidad el flojo soy yo.

Deseando que su salud sea muy buena , quien siempre espera servirlo y desea sus Bendiciones, Su Caido aspirante a sirviente Nanda raja dasa .

Dear Gurudeva!

Please accept my obeisances
I hope you are well ud

I'm Devarsi from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

           HpS - ASA  -  Jaya!!!!!!!    AGTSP.....    So, nice to hear from you!!!

I was absent from the blog, several months ago.
The last time I talked to was in chile units last year.
I'm on the night shift manager at the restaurant of the temple"Naturaleza Divina".
It is going well, many people take prasadam daily and is interested in Krishna consciousnessand invite them to the partySunday. But go out very late and is difficult for me
  I know it's not a good time to have a more orderly practice my sadhana, because I cannot get up early for sleeping so late.
Just talk about this difficulty and allow me to work in the morning again and I'll be able to organize myself better about it. Krishna always makes the arrangements.
We are composing and producing music for Krishna with some devotees. The idea is to produce an album of bhajans with some devotees of the congregation. We need your blessings.

          ASA - It's interesting.  The first restaurant was in Philedelphia and the manager said that it was closing at like 9PM and then it took an hour for the devotees to wash everything and so they did not get to bed before 10.30PM and so they could not come to Mangala arati, but Prabhupada said that, "No, they must come to Mangala arati. Then they can take a nap later in the day!"  He also said there should be a book display and gave a recipe for roasted grains that would taste and act like coffee.

As we realize that Krishna is pleased with us?

        HpS - Don't understand?

In our service sometimes there are difficulties,we must take it as mercy or as a proof of God?

        HpS - Sometimes it is mercy and we take it as difficulty by mistake. Other times it is test of our sincerity and other times it is the demons trying to stop us....
 

Thanks for reading my letter Guru Maharaja and for giving their time
Please forgive my offenses
sorry for my bad bad english

I am at your eternal service
Devarsi Narada das

Haribol!!!!

              HpS - Jaya!    And Hari-nama Sankirtana also, no??
