Letters to the editor

     AGTSP!!!   paoho.    Here we are in Govardhana Farm.   Our skin rash is a little better. We are still very weak but heathy!           How are you?    We have two weeks of letters to answer.          So many devotees here.  Madhu-manjari Devi Dasi, Adi-adri, Raktaka Das, Dhruvananda and Sudevi and Markendeya and Dhanesvari and her baby.....

                       We have heavy lecture and consultation load, but the weather is celestial.  Inernet is good.  We are doing Japa Joe daily.   It will be the same hour until Saturday morning.      Australia has like four time zones.  Confusing.  We will go to Brisbane Friday evening!

                O.K.  Calls to India, answer letters, correct BVC papers...

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja
Todas las glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada!
Todas las glorias sean a mi querido Maestro Espiritual, SS Hanumat Presaka Swami!
Todas las glorias sean a los genuinos prabhupada-nugas!
Gurudeva este último mes pienso muchísimo en usted, mi corazón llora porque siente y sabe que no he podido corresponder con el gran y misericordioso Maestro y Padre que tengo,  que es Usted y que mi amado Srila Prabhupada me ha dado. Le pido perdón miles de veces humildemente a sus maravillosos pies de loto. Sinceramente tengo miedo de ser una desconocida para Usted, mas ya quiero hacer las cosas bien.
Mi reporte de sadhana es que canto diariamente 16 rondas, estas dos últimas semanas me he quedado en el templo y a veces me despierto entre 2:30 am-3:30 am ,procuro estar a tiempo en el programa de mangala aratik,aunque a veces llego tarde,sigo estrictamente los cuatro principios básicos regulativos y hoy he empezado a leer  la biografía de Srila Prabhupada, los sábados hago servicio en el cuarto de pujari acomodando las joyitas de Krsna. Y estoy participando en la obra para Gaura Purnima, se representará el pasatiempo donde Nimai se come la ofrenda del Brahmana.
Aquí en el DF se realizan programas de Maha Harinama el primer sábado de cada mes, es muy lindo, van más de 50 devotos!!! y hay distribución de los Santos Nombres, de dulce prasadam y de trascendentales libros!!!!
Estamos participando de los programas para jóvenes que Prabhu Brian ha organizado, y es un néctar Gurudeva!!ayer día salimos a harinama sankirtana y para muchos fue su primera vez, en realidad son chiquillos muy entusiastas y sinceros que quieren poner su granito de arena en esta hermosa misión del comandante en jefe: Srila Prabhupada!!!!ki jaya!!!!El grupo se llama "Prabhupada´s Warriors Crew"!!!! :DD
Antes de venir al templo no sentía suficiente fuerza espiritual para salir a sankirtana, pero ahora en compañía de devotos mi mente se ha aquietado y es mágico y místico pero todos mis deseos materialistas se esfuman! desaparecen!ahora no soy una persona pura,porque estoy condicionada y contaminada por la naturaleza material, pero por misericordia de Prabhupada hemos podido distribuir algunos libros!y ya son algunas semillas de servicio devocional que se han plantado en los corazones de las personas!su proceso en conciencia de Krsna ha empezado o vuelto a empezar en esta vida!...Hemos ido a universidades a Toluca y Cuernavaca.
GuruMaharaja me he salido de la universidad un tiempo (baja temporal) porque ahora no siento interés por estudiar, aparte de que la carrera me gusta masomenitos (Historia), checando carreras hay una que me llama la atención, es Desarrollo y Gestión Intercultural (DGI), pero aún no sé...me encantaría encontrar algo que me guste para tratar de ofrecerle un buen servicio a Prabhupada.
En otros temas, debo decirle que me encuentro confundida respecto a mi deber. Leí el verso 2.7 del BG y por eso busco refugio en Usted Gurudeva.Las autoridades del templo como Madre Sarada me han dado el servicio de asistente de pujari, pero Aravinda Prabhu me ha propuesto que puedo unirme al grupo de sankirtana y estar mínimo 6 meses viajando con las devotas distribuyendo libros y colectano para el Srimad Bhagavatam, después pasar un tiempo en Guadalajara con la Madre Radhika para terminar de tener una buena formación. GuruMaharaja, yo sólo quiero ejecutar lo que a Usted más le complazca y quiero saber qué le parece, cómo puedo mejorar mi intento de servicio a Srila Prabhupada y a Usted. Qué opina?? Hay alguna otra instrucción??¿ En verdad tengo el deseo en mi corazón de hacer lo que Usted me diga...
Una y mil veces más disculpas. Lo quiero mucho Gurudeva y siempre oro a Sri Nrisimhadeva lo proteja.
Su torpe intento de sirviente Bhaktin Atenea.
Muy feliz Gaura Purnima!!!!

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!   TlgaSP.    pfanrh.  Yo, ni tampoco puedo entender detalladamente que hacer.  Pienso esta demasiado nueve hacer una compresmiso tan fuerte vanzar como you entiendo Aravinda Das Prabhu quiere, pero puede comenzar trabajando abajo del formacion de el y ver como desarrollan cosas.  Esta hablando con Aristasena Das?  Que peinsa el?  Gracias...    Si, tiene que, puede, advanzar su servicio pero lo que esta realizando ahora es fuerte ni tampoco!   

AGTSP    (paoho)  -   We made it to Govinda Valley, near Gold Coast, Australia!!!  Thoubal one night, Imphal one night, Kolkatta one night. Thai airways one night. Brisbane one night. Today two lectures and three hours of individual discussion, and three pounds of Burfi for the burro!
O.K. Take rest and pray for mercy of God!!!

Hare Krishna maharaja, from Mayapur

I saw you were here a little bit before the 10th in the Temple maharaja, I already guessed you had left Mayapur after the GBC meetings and Gaura Purnima festival had started. So my mother wanted me to send a online letter to you.

Somehow by krishnas mercy me and my family have moved over to Europe and safely traversed a path to visit Sri Mayapur dham. It's been very inspiring along the way coming through Villa Vrindavan and other temples, but also hectic as well (we lost our Caitanya-charitamrita + Srimad Bhagavatam Bookset in they're respective suitcases on a plane-mixup in New York, they're luckily returning to my father in america now and we're hoping they are okay) now were here and me and my whole family have gotten to see the true heart of Srila Prabhupadas movement, Jaya Srila Prabhupada! My siblings and even my father have taken to Krishna Consciousness from the Dhams association and sri sri gaura nitai's mercy.

I have to admit that before coming I slipped into neglect of my chanting and 4 regs for many many months..... but somehow through divine mercy I I've been trying to follow your instructions maharaja, chanting 16 rounds, 4 regs, read the Bhagavatam daily, Rise at 4 AM and serve Bhoga and kirtan to our Jaganath + Gaura Nitai deitys. My father returned to America in order to work to support us (such is this age of Kali..) while I'm helping to maintain my mother and siblings material + devotional life. I got a job assisting a senior Devotee (vasudeva dasa) with his BhakTV devotional films distribution and work. I feel very happy to still be able to serve somehow. :)

im looking at learning Sculpting + Art for a career, it'll also involve a 3d program called 'Maya' ironically based on the literal sanskrit word for 'Illusion', haribol. lol.

It's been a bumpy road, I still wonder why Srila Prabhupada would cast any blessings to this swine... but I feel I've taken something not to be forgotten.

I want to say I'm sorry for any offenses I made to you Maharaja in the past.. from being silent in the Boise Prasad hall because I was afraid to disturb you to just being excessively talkative. Thank you for all your guidance and mercy

your fallen servant,

Bhakta Reilly (G.)

             ASA - HpS -    AGTSP!     Buck White wants to say that some of the best people in the universe are swine.  You should just go into the garbage to help, not to eat.   Why didn't you say hello to us in Mayapura!!!   We heard you were there!             It is so nice to hear from you.    You are still growing up.  God, the senses are so strong and the intelligence is so small.  Do you best.    Whatever control you have in following the four principles you will later appreciate, appreciate, appreciate!     If you fall down, get up.  Kick your Ass and get going again!            As far as occupation, seems like you are making nice investigation, but we suggest you do a lot of investigation of different areas to see what abilties you have.     Lot to learn about yourself!

Hanumat Swami this is your most fallen servant Nela Madhava (neal shonyo--gov't name).  After many many years of forgetfullness Krishna called for me to reconnect with you as well as KC and serve in whatever capacity I am capable.  I always remember the amazing association in Pleasant Hills at my parents' old home you blessed us with.  In this constant struggle with material life my only relief is the spirutual knowledge yourself and other pure devotees have instilled in me by the mercy of Krishna.  I have been watching your youtube videos regarding the academic programs you are working on and would love to be of service in whatever way possible.  The word sueño in spanish translates to either dream or sleepiness in english.  I'm not sure if this is Krishna's way of telling me that this is my own ignorance but it is my sueño to see the principles of Vaishnava philosophy once again in direction of our world. 

I have been working on a project myself which I hope to establish at my school, University of South Florida.  Its called Philosophers of Today-Philanthropists of Tomorrow.  The objective is to find practical philosophical answers to the widespread societal problems as well as philanthropically based financial support to enact these methods.  Sources tell me these can be found in the books of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.  At any rate, there are many other people I know who would like to contribute to this cause and if I would be able to incorporate or couple your work with this that would be nice. 

I hope to have your association again soon.

Hare Krishna!

            ASA - HpS -  AgtSP!   Wow!   Last time I saw you was in Florida, no?  You Mother had just induced Gaja-hanta Das to tear out the big cactus in front of your house because it was bad Vastu and then the cactus got revenge by falling on her!!!   We would like to be of help to you however we can. You project sounds interesting.
It strikes us that one of the activities of a Brahmana, Philosopher, is to give charity.
What about the title "Philosophy Today, Philanthropy Tomorrow" [That's Tom Brown's idea].
Is there anything specific we can do?   We have a variety of things going and so do other devotees.  Thank you so much for writing.  How are you esteemed parents???

     Todas Las Glorias Sean a Srila Prabhupada!!!

     Todas Las Glorias sean a Sri Sri Guru y Gouranga!!!

   Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes Reverencias. Hablé con Prabhu Amara y Prabhu Om Kesavaya y después de ver su calendario, quería preguntarle si el sábado 23 de marzo está bien para Usted? y a qué hora?. Prabhu Amara me decía que sería por Skype y estaría presente mi esposo y Prabhu Om Kesavaya. Muchas Gracias.

      ASA - Jaya!   Ya es 23rd.  5.48AM aqui.    Primero acceso a internet!  Si es bueno pero posible la proxima Sabado, no?  Podemos planificar mejor!

   Su sirvienta,

   Dhanistha devi dasi. Santiago, Chile.
