Letters to the editor

Esteemed Lalita madhava Das.

This letter.  AGTSP!   Was just copy of previous letter.   Maybe you could also visit Peru and teach for three months.  You could exchange your temple service with devotee from Peru and they could visit Chile!          NIMSAR, educational group in Peru, could work to get educational programs with ISKCON and outside???

JUst sharpen your intelligence on SB and BG and then you will be able to use your passion for music to show people how it is connected to Krsna and then it will be perfect and ever expanding.  You can become a donkey and make music for Krsna in Goloka.

Jay Srila Prabhupada !
Jay Sri Vrindavam Dham!

Pranams dear gurdeva, my humble service to you and your students blessed.
Here we are, even keeping my vows and commitments (Radha Krishna Mercy)
I followed his advice and some things are taking better color.
I am applying for a Music scholarship to India, krishna is doing these things, often i acted selfishly with these plans, just thinking about me  but i know, Bhakti music is my goal.
I dont know how to surrender to you dear guruji, my mind today seems like a volcano in eruption, many desires and little kindness.
Im doing the same service in the temple, worship deities, cooking, 12 horas kirtan program(This month we meet ONE year of this program), respectful Vaishnava Sanga, Reading wonderful Vaishnava poems (songs); I have a question in relation to this ¿Can i sing or read about Mira bhai? I know the story and is very devotional.
I miss her association Guruji
I hope to be useful in your mission.
My life at your service
Lalita Madhava Das

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP   paoho   Esteemed Mad Man.     Thank you for your letter. All our generla news in the DTC.    Soooo nice to hear from yoiu.        Mira bhai.  I think Prabhupada liked "her" and her songs, but she is just not clear enough to be regular food on the table to ISKCON devotees.

For example, scholars say that there are like six times more songs written by "Mirabhai" after the date of her death than while she was alive.

Hmmm?   See the problem?            Seems she existed and was a nice devotee. Maybe she had some little attachments here and there, but there is no paramapara acharya from her to give her to us clearly. So many of her songs are written by many other people after she left.

So... as general Vaisnava poetry it can be nice. We have to judge it in terms of the Acharyas and in the Temple programs seems Prabhupada thought it not correct. In public cultural programs, even in the Temple, Prabhupada was more liberal.

Let's see your other letter.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada,todas las Glorias a Sri Sri goura Nitai Radha y Krishna

Mis humildes Reverencias querio Gurumaharaja.

Usted me envio una pregunta sobre si usted habia respondido mi carta que le envie a su mail personal, le contesto que no, ¡ pero no importa! Le cuento Usted me dio refugio en el mayo del 2010 en Santiago Maipu. Sigo cumpliendo con mi Sadhana, mis rondas y los principios;  Este año Espero con ansias poder verlo ,si Radha lo permite, para poder por fin tomar la ansiada iniciacion a sus pies de loto,creo que me encuentro preparada para estar definitivamente a sus pies de Loto y si usted lo permite y Krishna me acepta.

HpS - TlgaSP   Honestamente no tenemos pies de loto.  Somos Madyama adhikari, tenemos deseos materiales en la corazon, pero esta abajo de control y tomando nuestra medicina estan disminuendo!              Tenemos que acceptar un Uttama adhikari como guru y eso es Srila Prabhupada si quiere pertence a su glorioso ISKCON!       16 rondas ENTUSIASTAS, 4 principios ESTRICTAS. Esto significa que Mangala arati, Kirtan, durante Brahma-muhurta y leyendo Srimad Bhagavatam diariamente son mandatorio, no opcional.  Si, no, no va a cantar rondas entusiastas y despues de 4-5 anos va a dejar el processo en frustracion y pensar que el processo falta.  No  programa matutina simple pero completo.  O.K.?     Por favor menciona  Maipu in sus cartas para agitar nuestra memoria!!

Lo que me preocupa mucho es su salud ,supe que no esta muy bien,espero que su energia vaya mejorando para poder tenerlo un tiempo con nosotros aca en Chile,nostros aca como hermanos espirituales nos hemos puesto de acuerdo para orar a el señor Nrisimha deva por su salud y dedicarle unas rondas para que mejore.

Es muy importante Su presencia en mi vida ya que usted me ayudo alivianar la carga de la vida material,y sin su amor y compañia quizas estaria en otra,Amado Gurudeva Gracias por sus pasatimpos,y su misericordia para esta alma tan caida y ofensiva.

Esperando que se sienta mejor y agradeciendo su valioso tiempo al leer esto ,se despide de usted con amor

Su Sirviente

HpS - ASA -  Jaya!    Que significa "Carolina"?   Cual es la origen del nombre?   Por que le dio sus padres a Vd.   Salud mejor.  Mejor ritmo!!!!

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama

Jaya Krsna Balarama!                    A*T*S*P                   paoho & bw > > >    Here we are in Lokesh Prabhu's apartment about 20-minutes from the Temple. Our throat inflamation is little reduced. Shaved. Look civilized. (It's an illusion). Now we look at the Blog posts.  Taking a hog's load of extra rest, but still the work seems O.K.  Gave class this morning on like chapter 82 of the 10th canto, "Krsna and Balarama meet the Inhabitants of Vrndavana (at Kuruksetra)". It's the basis of Rathayatra. The Festival of India has about 20-tents set out. Devotees are starting to arrive. Meeting a lot of nice people. Will distribute Prahlada-Nrs. VEDABASE.COM cards. Have not got any NIOS cards??!!         Will text Tandavika and NgD  >>->

(DRAT!     We just realized we missed the classes in Chosica and Hawaii.    We got back from the morning program at the Temple and practically speaking fell into bed   DRAT!  (but being sane guess we needed the rest))

Dear Maharaj:

Pamho. AgtSP. Hare Krsna!

I only have time for a short response. I realize this is more difficult to explain than I thought it would be but I'll work that out. For now, regarding your last response, sometimes we are celebrating Guara Purnima a month late but not always. This past GP celebrated on 3/8/2012 was the correct date. However, the next one to be celebrated on 3/27/2013 will be one month late.  I will explain this in more detail in my next post.

Yhs, Saranga Thakura das

HpS - Jaya!   We are advancing!    AGTSP    pamho..

haribol maharaj!!!!!!

mis mas respetuosas reverencias!!

todas las glorias a srila prabhupada!!!! si maharaj mi padre fue el que fallecio despues de la boda de antonio, se llamaba param purusa. Las rondas estoy cantando las 16, pero algunos dias me coje la mente y me cuesta un poco mas, ahora no puedo hacer servicio porque en valencia aun no han abierto el templo, y el templo mas cercano es nueva vrajamandala ( brihuega ) que intento ir muy amenudo, porque es donde me crie y la considero mi casa, 

muchas gracias por su tiempo, me hace muy feliz y espero noticias suyas

su aspirante a sirvienta mirabai

 HpS - ASA --  Jaya!    Muy bien.  "Mirabai" es nombre dotado (given) por sus padres?    Conocen quien es ella?

Por que est en Valencia?        Puede poner un poco noticia en unos buenos sitios, gallerias de arte, o sitios donde le gusta ir Vd. invitando la gente a oir de Krsna. Solamente piensa, "Si estuviera encontrando esta noticia como me gusta?   Po que busca yo?"

Oooop.   Y unos devotos iniciados va a venir y unos mas.  Nuevo centro de predica!
