Letters to the editor

Dear HH Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,

Please accept my most humble obeisances and All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krishna maharaja, thank you so so much for your latest reply. I feel very inspired :)

This past weekend, Adrian and i spent the night at the Sri Sri Radha-Krishna Temple down in Spanish Fork so we could meet with Caru prabhu and Vaibhavi mataji about marriage and initiation. We unfortunately didn't get to speak with them together, but it was good what we heard from each of them. Caru prabhu is very happy about us becoming married and said he would be "delighted" to be the priest. He also encourages us for initiation, so we will work with your instruction of one year minimum commitment with the temple and then proceed for first initiation, if approved by Caru prabhu, Vaibhavi mataji, yourself!, and the devotees here. Vaibhavai mataji was very sweet, also. She gave very good instruction through stories of other devotees, and she also was very happy about us becoming married. She said that she would always be there for us to help, but because she and Caru prabhu decided not to have children, that counseling from another devotee family would be more proper. On a side note, during the conversation, the topic of our material situation came up and Vaibhavi mataji pointed out the fact that Adrian would probably not be able to afford to purchase a ring for engagement or marriage. She told us that she was given a diamond necklace from her mother-in-law and that she has lost it. Then just a few days back, one of the WWOOFers staying at the temple found it. Mataji said she'd give it to Adrian to give to me eventually... We were both speechless... She is such an amazing person, I am feeling very fortunate to have her association here. As far as schooling goes, Vaibhavi mataji said that she had finished school and, because it would make my parents happy, no reason to disturb them anymore than necessary (especially since they're paying for it). She did say, though, that it is ultimately my decision and that she wasn't going to instruct me on the matter because what's good for one may not be good for another, so... I won't gain residency to attend school until spring next year, so no reason to really think about that for now.

Yesterday was our first day going out on an attempted sankirtana, hahaha. We did not do any distributing, but we found out how to start a student club on the University of Utah campus and did a little preaching here and there. Today we're going out for round two.. little better idea how to get things going, but it is still difficult to approach people! 

Otherwise.. things are going nicely here. There was a little drama thing happening in the temple with a couple devotees, but seems to be nice now. Going into Srimad Bhagavatam, Second Canto today! Jaya! 

Thank you maharaja, so much for your association! Haribolo!

your aspiring servant,

GuruMaharaj
How are you?

HpS - ASA    -      AGTSP     paoho      We are in suffering in hell, but if we chant and dance fast enough it doesn't hurt so much.

Here we are well, following our progress in Krishna consciousness!
Sorry, I could not writebefore.
Thanks for letting me serve to you personally in your stay in Buenos Aires.
I'm going through a time of change, and I'm getting used to everything new. But I feel Iam with very little time in the day. In the restaurant I'm full time in association with the devotees and helps me to develop many aspects in my life, as tolerance.
If I release you from this cold and flu, I'll connect with japa joe  as being sick will not let me wake up early.
How do we realize if things that happen to us are karma or are plans krishna?

HpS - ASA    -    Many different ways.   Need details to give a detailed answer, no?   And that can be impossible by telefone often.   But if we are chanting 16 nice rounds and following the four principles strictly under Srila Prabhupada's authority...   "mahatmanas tu mam partha..." (cited in NOI) our whole life is under Radha-Krsna!

Think you all right to go slowly and make sure steps in the spiritual life,or should we make great sacrifices and austerities?

ASA -  NOI    -   Text Three.......    Utasahan is more more important than dhairyat, but without dhairayat it becomes passion.  So make plans and act with some intelligence.  Bee enthusiasic to advance, solver your problems as your first priority, but... have some patience!

(It's nice giveing this advice because we need to hear it more than anybody else).

As for my sadhana, my sick state I'm not waking early, but this desire to do so frequently. Sorry, but I feel I'm getting a lot of excuses, ajaja

As the japa, chant 16 or more, but I always feel that my meditation is not enough, and try to concentrate more.
As for the service, I fixed the temple in the kitchen cleaning the Tuesday and performed bhajans at the party Sunday.
I hope to contact more often with you.
Pardon my informality in my writing and my English badly translated, aja
Please forgive the offenses
My obeisance to you

Thanks for the constant inspiration

HpS -  Jaya!!    ----   So nice to hear from you.     O.K.     The body does not have diseases.    The body is a disease.   When we cure the body of all diseases we won't have a body any more.  So our process is...   Suicide.      Ha!      Ha!      Haaaa!!!                  Esperamos  oir de sus esfuerzas!   Nice foto!!!

Please accept my humble obeissances

Dear Maharaja

We are happy to tell that we`re going 100%  vegetarian.  Also happy to say we`re chanting rounds (took seriously the 4 rounds vow) Early solo Sankirtan in Park really got us right. jaya !

We had strong kitchen service at Temple last Friday and really felt it`s blessings and power. Chanted while peeling 100 potatoes and talked with devotees about Vraja and past times.  So we intend to keep this service every Friday. It`s good for us.    Music group is going well, we have songs in sanskrit, english and the mahamantra rock dance new song  truly nice.  (we`ll send link as soon as we have it recorded) jaya Srila Prabhupada !

HpS - ASA   -   Jaya!     Srila Prabhupada Ki Jia!!!

Sunday feast also part of schedule now.   We begin to feel holy names always singing in our heads. 

Last Kapi Dhvaja really good !  Monkey, Piggy and Uncle Gismo made our day. Much, much to learn.  No thanks big enough to express gratitude to Siksa Guru and Vaisnavas. Time is on our side now thanks to the Lord.  Uncle Gismo would say it better though.

Raul from Montreal.

ASA -   O.K.    We wait for the link   and some fotos!  

Ante todo me refugio en Su misericordia sin causa,

ASA - TlgaSP   pfanrh.    No tenemos mucho, Ha Ha Ha(re!).      TlgaSP

temeroso de mi (y de las autoridades materiales), deseando mas bien olvidar mi historia que contarla, con la vergüenza de no haber servido al Señor y a Sus devotos con mas eficiencia!

 No tengo poder de sintesis..basicamente, no tengo inteligencia; tengo una inmadurez social espantosa! No se lo que es mi vida o mi historia; se que dependo de Krisna y de Sus Vaisnavas para llevar esta “pretension de existencia” a buen puerto.

Algunos datos:

Tengo treintaicinco años y hara mas de doce que concurro al templo. Era mi esperanza vivir fijo Ahí y cada año me quedaba un poco y lo mejor en mi vida son esos momentos sagrados en los que una persona antisocial, fóbica y ermitaña como yo convivio con la Familia Eterna y sintió como nunca el afecto espiritual que hace Bien, por la gracia de Prabhupada y Krisna. Pero lo máximo que me quede fueron dos meses… Desde el comienzo pensé: “yo tengo que poder vivir Ahí” y es recién en este tiempo en que empece a pensar “no puedo”, que la tierra quizo tragarme y mis deseos materiales volvieron y me dijeron: Hola, seguimos en tu corazón y queremos que te dediques a nosotros mas seriamente. Incluso tuve mas facilidades que nunca de conseguir pareja y el reconocimiento social, cosas de las que renegué repetidamente, cosas que descuide. Ahora estoy aprendiendo que no podría aunque quiera tener ni pareja, ni reconocimiento, ni una identidad real (que no viviré!) sin Bhakti. Me asuste y empece a orar ya temblando, por un mayor refugio espiritual. Creo que llame un poco la atención de Paramatma con mis inmaduros lamentos, y de ahí los sueños con Su Persona, y otras Gracias. (Maharaja puede decirse eso? No quiero decirLe tonterias pero siendo tonto, me cuesta!)

 Estoy haciendo sankirtan. Deseo hacer programas devocionales. Tengo una casa quinta que usare para ese fin; algunos devotos vienen a veces. Y ahora que voy a vivir solo (sin no devotos cerca) voy a hacer programas aquí también y estare mejor. No hay mucho mas… los devotos del templo ya me conocen (que estoy un poco loco pero buenito).  Que los devotos siempre me conozcan y me perdonen! Estoy deseando ser mejor persona por ellos y para ellos. Ese reconocimiento es lo único importante para mi. Ruego Sus bendiciones importantisimas.

Mi sueño con Usted:

 Ya había considerado varias veces buscar Su refugio: Una vez me acerque a Usted y le dije estúpidamente “i am lost” y Usted me dijo “mañana hablamos” y se fue. (Es gracioso, y terrible para mi!) Debi decir simplemente: “Busco Su refugio”. Asi que trate de entrenar mi tonta cabecita: “¿Me da refugio?””¿Puedo tener Su refugio?”. Este año, en año nuevo, alguien me informo que al dia siguiente se festejaba Su Vyasaruja y que Usted estaría en Bs. As. Personalmente. Lo cierto es que Usted no venia pero como yo pensaba que si estuve entrenando: “¿Me da refugio?” El Vyasapuja era al otro dia muy temprano y yo lamentaba que no podía ir, asi que Le pediría refugio al dia siguiente. Esa mañana soñé que Usted me daba refugio. Considere mas auspicioso aun que fuera el dia de Su Vyasapuja y a la hora aproximada de su festejo.

 Usted estaba hablándome, algo que me alegraba, aunque no podía entender nada de lo que decía. Me hablaba de un modo muy agudo e ironico (semejante a como me hablo aquí), acerca de complejidades de mi mismo o mi karma que yo no entendia (cosas significativas propias de una Inteligencia en mi ausente). Yo esperaba sumiso (a Dios gracias!) y Usted preguntaba: “¿Qué deseas?”, yo me arrodillaba ante Su Persona y decía: “¿Me da Su refugio?” (jay!) y Usted decía: “Bueno” y tocaba mi tonta cabecita con Su divina mano. Entonces, me desperté muy feliz y entusiasta :). Eso es lo mas real e importante de toda mi vida, creo. (yo se que para los devotos estas cosas son algo habitual y parece una tontera pero para mi fue muy alentador e importante)

 Queria preguntar si Usted cree que era Su persona la que vino a mi sueño, teniendo en cuenta que hablaba como Usted y que me influenciaba de modo espiritual y directo en relación a mi débil y temeroso deseo de rendirme a la Autoridad.

Pd: me sale humo de las orejas de tratar de ser objetivo y hablar con claridad de mi, porque soy mas caído de lo que mi mente comprende, Usted ve. Por favor perdone el divino tiempo que le robe. Que yo siempre sueñe asi! Que siquiera en sueños yo pueda rendirme, lo ruego. Mis reverencias! 

ASA - HpS   -    Jaya            TlgaSP     Pfanrh       Estamos leyendo la primero parta de su cart    y    scaneando la segunda parta por que no hablo bien Espanol y tenemos muchas otras cartas.     Pero es bien.    Mas cartas.     Diagalo.               Aparece que todo es bien.    Tiene que tomar un voto de un cuantidad de rondas fijadas cada dia para u n tiempo fijado.    Eg.   dos rondas cada dia para dos. semanas.   Despues vea la resultado.

O.K?????     Por favor firma sus cartas de una manera individual como podemmos idetificar Vd!      Jaya    Hari Bolo!

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami,

please accept my obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The letter was called "Hare Krishna." Sorry for consuming your time with this hassle.

Richard van Dijck

ASA -  AGTSP!        Sorry that the system is not perfect.  There are about 10 letters in just the last week labeled "Hare Krsna".    Need to know about how many days a go was the letter and what is the name of the letter before it for example to find it.

Hare Krsna! !      !
