Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaja,

please accept my humble obeisances, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Just needed to re-iterate my meager message and to reminisce in your appearence day. After all the request is out for offerings to be posted  with the Monkey warrior, it is the least I could do. The joy of your association makes this existence much more tolerable and in separation I do reflect well, but to see and hear your activities with all the devotee's truly completes the ecstasy of Bhakti. 

Tis’ a new day so bold, reviving wisdom of old,

enlivening the Soul while we’re striving for the Spiritual goal.

More time has passed and your Sadhana still lasts, another year up to task,

once again your tenacity wins, reining in sin and purifying the self within

As true to your heart of hearts, you know the dangers from the start,

still you carry on, delivering Srila Prabhupada’s message like a beautiful song,

dancing in levity with sober grace, bringing joy to those suffering ill-fate.

Such is our dilemma, disciples fumbling around, fools acting like clowns,

trying to understand Krsna’s knowledge so profound while stifling our ulterior demands,

with only the wise few sincerely hoping to be at your command .

It’s your example that’s shining through and keep’s your japa true,

and even when some are no longer calling or have fallen, you still

kindly offer that Sampradaya rope, giving them hope.

When His Divine Grace came to our Western World, He knew gentlemen were

needed in this place and as His training unfurled, you too filled that space.

Best thing for us is to do is follow your actions, to listen to your words and if surrender occurs

advancement is sure as scripture concurs, let us pray to  become that pure, then our Sadhana is secure.

All glories to your service!  All glories to your service!  All glories to your service!

Dear Guru Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

It has been too long since the last letter. I keep putting it in my mind to write and now finally I have the opportunity. I hope you are in good health. I see that you are in Huston. I wish I could go and visit you again. Last year was very nice. Nila Madhava is very beautiful and doing service for him was splendid. I miss Him. And I miss your association very much. 

Here in Toronto there are many Grihastha couples but I just have a problem associating with people in general so getting advice from devotees I don't know very well is something I don't like to do. It's a little hard to have a couple to be guides for us. It seems like it can really help mys husband and I a lot since we need plenty of help. 

Yogendra and I- mainly I- would like to add some members to the family. I have been told that without your blessings, starting a family would not be possible. Of course we wouldn't start right away because we are definitely are not settled financially, mentally, etc. But sometime in the near future would be nice. I only ask for your blessings and permission, Maharaja.

We purchased the Bhagavatam set. Some of the books still have the plastic over them. They are nice to have although They are nicer to read I imagine. I am comfortably reading the Lilamrita. We still read it every morning before breakfast. Prabhupada is just about to take sannyasa!!! It's very exciting :)

My husband got a job at a bank as a teller. It's enough to survive is all I can say. And I was going to school to become a Deantal Assistant however I will no longer continue. I'm sorry if it sounds dissapointing that I dropped out but I realized I didn't like it very much. Luckily I found a job at the University's book store, but only part time. I am not meant to work that is for certain. 

I am going to the temple a bit more than I used to before. I'm starting to get some taste for service again. Slowly I might be back to my old self but I must take it slowly.  

16 rounds, 4 regs, some reading.

I hope you are in good health, Maharaja. 

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dd

            HpS - Jaya!     Work on it!!!           This is reality, a girl must depend on her husband for children, house, vision in life. So do austerities for you husband's well being, that he can be inspired in Krsna consciousness. In any position we are Krsna can do the magic. He can meet someone at the bank that will give good advice.  Just chant all the time and Krsna will give intelligence. Don't give up on education but look for what you really need. Maybe being an editor for book publishing.
