Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡¡
PAOHO ¡¡¡¡

At this moment U are at the airport U lost your flight to Ecuador ¡¡¡

I just wanted to tell U honestly that since I returned to Chile I was not feeling so well, I do not if it is stress, boredom, maya , uff I do not know..  I feel dissapointed about one friend also maybe is that ¡¡¡¡

MY rounds aren't so good as they were before 12:30 am (chile - lima) was too much for me so there were some days that I did not attend japa joe and today I just fall asleep while chanting ¡¡¡ I was listening to namacarya and then I lost my consciousness I woke up for mangal artik buuuuuuuuuu  Maybe it is the stress for not seeing Gaura Nitay for long time .... many things to do ..... ufff I am feeling tired really tired I fall asleep in the busses ummm I do not know why 

I do not have the same enthusiasm as before so yes I know that I can find it in my intelligence the one that  not too much jeje 

Priorities.. yes I have to put my priorities first... It is an art how to handle the time sometimes I do not have enough time to do anything umm that is maya ¡¡¡

so sorry GM for this report is not so good but I am trying to be honest and to take shelter in Srila PRabhupada through your very good self ¡¡¡¡

The sun is shinning ¡¡¡¡ I am going to chosica today full service the whole day and if I have your mercy I may see Gaura Nitay and the welcome back party  for Them will be next sunday it was supposed to be this sunday but the deities aren't ready :(

I will pray and talk to Radharani to help me. She is really sweet and patient with us ... I was having dreams with Gaura Nitay just as Gaura Gadadhara They were OK They look as the way I knew Them... 

Thanks for listening and so so sorry for bothering U with our minds and problems ......... I just want to be a useful tool for Your eternal sankirtan to Srila Prabhupada ¡¡¡

I am sometimes too mental 

Thanks Gurudeva what would have happened with your flight??? anyway Have a very nice trip ¡¡¡¡

Trying to be your disciple

             HpS - ASA ----  Jaya!   AGTSP    pfanrh.    Be careful!            The SB is full of stories of fall downs!     It is there to warn us of every situation, no?    Then we can avoid them all and Go-to-Goloka, Moooo!          You have a very good chance to get there even in this life!           This year!                    ....     

Our name can be very significant or just a nice handle for the Spiritual Master and Disciple to know each other.     Too mental is better than too physical, but , yes, we have to be moon beams of Krsna-candra!

             Hare Krsna!    Hare Rama!
      A   G  T  SP!             p a o h o......    Its still Monday until sunrise, 6.30AM. We're in Guayaquil. Everything is going pretty well, no translator. Internet is hell and three-quarters during the day, so we squeeze in some words here early. Also, its not available in our cave so we didn't log on for Japa Joe this morning. Tommorrow should be O.K.

How are you all?

We will catch up on letters.  Please excuse our harshness sometimes. Trnad api sahisnuna. 

What to do?   If we lack knowledge, plans, then just do Sankirtan, Japa, and we will get knowledge, "vidya vadu jivanam...".

O.K.  More later.   Now we answer letters and get some more rounds done before class..

Se esta dando el Curso Introductorio a la filosofia Vaisnava para adolecentes y adultos. el espacio para los niños ya se esta comprando el material para construirle un lugar arriba para que ellos se recreen mientra esta la clase las fiestas de domingos.. Prabhu Mahajan esta viajando para chile a encontrarce con su esposa y dar algunos cursos por aquellos lados. Mi situacion particular me levanto tipo 6am y atiendo a Sus Señorias Nitai Gaura Candra.

                                                                                                          teresaHpS - ASA -  AGTSP   paoho.  Our interne

t is terrible here.  We cannot see what we are wiriting until 3-mnutes after we write it.Thank you for your l

etter.  We read it.  Is nice nws about Maharaja intiations etc.We don'y understand about your talking to Candra mukhi.  It is something confdent

Dear Maharaj:

Namaste, etc.

1. What is a nakshatra? It is a group stars close enough to be called a constellation. There are 27 such groups that the moon moves through each month on a daily basis.

   ASA -  AGTSP  paoho.  Ooof!     Daily basis we have monthly movement.  !! ? Confusing!

However, when it comes to full moons, there are only 12 plus every 3rd year an extra one (adhik masa) in a single year. This can be very easily seen as the full moon moves through the 12 constellations of the zodiac (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, ..., Pisces) in one year's time; thus the Vedic constellations are portions of the 12 constellations of the zodiac.   ASA - Brother if you have a Day Job keep it. Your vebal description of optical motions are too

hard to follow. How can the full moon move throught the twelve signs of the Zodiac?  We thought that we moved through them one month at a time?

2. Go to www.astroviewer.com and click on "Interactive night sky map" and when the button labeled "Start Astroviewer" click on that. Next, select Ecucador, Quito. Since Quito is located on the equator (which divides the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere of the Earth), this is a great place to watch the full moon advance each month through the 12 constellations of the zodiac.

3. You'll need the dates for the full moons so go to www.timeanddate.com and select "Moon Phases"; then, select Equador, Quito for 2012. Plug these dates into astroviewer and you will see the advancing moon. This will show you that each and every full moon is uniquely identified with certain background stars; ie, the various constellations of the zodiac. Since the various nakshatras are foreign to us Westerners, the constellations of the zodiac work best for us as an introduction to the basic concepts of the lunar calendar.

4. You should also note that from Jan/09/2012 through Dec/28/2012 there are 13 full moons, starting and ending with the constellation of Gemini. Make sure you select constellation names, "latin" and that you select show celestial equator. It is important to note that the stars of the night sky are seen as comprising a sphere that surrounds the Earth globe.

5. Please let me know when you have completed lesson one. This will help you start your journey through the French Alps!

Ys, Saranga Thakura dasASA -  Whoop Whoop.  Co completely incomrehensible.   Why are you giving us 101  beofre 1AABC.   101 is for third year students!!    Laos the damn robot has a terrible internet connectin here in Guayaquil.  We cant even see what we ar typing until one minute ater we type it.    HpS Swami is cahint Japa acrooss the temple rom.  It is like Mayapura here.  We are abov eht Centinanial Plaza.  There is lots of fruit and lots of people to talk to .Do you get 16 rounds done before 10AM in the moringing?So nice to hear from you!!!!

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

P.A.M.H.O.

Hare Krsna Maharaja, 

Thank you very much for the last answer you gave me in the response of my last letter, I fell really blessed by my chance of having your association for a feww days in Santiago, I really enjoyed your classes and I was particullary interested in the academic preaching you showed me, I boughth some of the books you showed in your class and recently I picked then and they are a really interesting aproach for a diferent group of people. I have uncles and ants working as university teachers, and I'm really eager to show then some of the books I bought, maybe some time when you are in Brazil you may be willing to do a program in their university? 

I've been chanting my 16 rounds, following 4 principles, now I'm in US visiting my family, and visiting the temples in NY and the 26 2nd avenue. I'll be back in Sao Paulo friday.

I really hope you are felling rested and better from your health, hope to see you in US when you are here as well and hopefully you will let me have your mercyfull association, how can I check the dates from your tour? 

             HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!      paoho.   Calendar always ys updated at www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.txt

If you don't mind would also like to ask something, hope not to botter you...

Talking to professors and cientists, once I got asked, "ok so the karma of someone decides some stuff in your life, but we genetically prove that some deseases pass genetically from father to son and so on, but let's assume that the karma puts you in the family with the desease in question, but what about the deseases like alcholism, or even some addictions that some people may have that are genetically stronger in one or in other? Some people are genetically inclinaded to be addicted to tobacoo but never smoked in their lives, but some will never quit smoking, so what is the role in karma in this cases?" 

  HpS it is hard to understand the exact lgic of the questions.  also the interent is bizaare here and we cannot read what we are typing until two minutes after we type it so many spelling mistakes.
Some times the inclinations from karma as expressed n the genes are very strong. We cant avoid them. Do we expect to find a "chaste" dog?  He/She is a dog, they will be FORCED to have sexual relatins.   In other situations, species, families, the impuse is not so strong so  we can control it by our free will some times or always.  Is this the question???

I really apreciate the time you get only by reading this, and hope i don't botter when writing to you... Hope to see you soon, and thanks again for everything!

Your aspiring servant,

Rafael Nitay- Sao Paulo Brazil
