Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisance, all glories to Srila Prabhupad

We are so glad seeing your reply (and amazed for your memory) and can't express my joy in words.  We were so amazed and happy seeing the name "Caitanya Candrodaya" and the name goes so well with the mood of the deities we have here.  The deities are made with "white marble" and their faces  like full moon and looks are so kind and mercyful.

Maharaj, I'm attaching few photos of "Nitai and Gauranga" and they were taken before (pardon my ignorance) and hasn't been revealed to the public yet (waiting for welcome cereony), could you kindly not to post them in the blog.

Please confirm the names for "Nitai and Gauranga", so that we will welcome them in to our lives.

Prying for Krishna to give me the desire to serve him.

Your humble servant (please pardon my mistakes)

HpS - ASA - Jaya!  Hare Krsna!!!!                  They are our Teachers.  They want to chant and dance with us for Radha and Krsna!        We suggested Nitai Caitanya-candra, no?             That is our humble idea.     Like 2nd or 3rd verse of Caitanya Caritamrta, is nice.   "Vande Sri Krsna Caitanya, Nityananda sahodito..."

Mis restepuosas reverencias a Srila Prabhupada y a mi Guru maharaja.

COntinuo 4 rondas, no pude seguir los 4 principios regulativos, pero dos estan fijos, programas de lectura, mangalartik a cualquier hora, visito el templo Wilson de vez en cuando no puedo quedar en la noche porque mis padres lo prohiben, extraño mangalartik a su hora, programas de prasada en la familia y lectura del Krishna Book con la abuelita, ella esta quedandose en la casa de mis padres por unos dias, lo problematico es que me es muy trabajoso cantar 4 rondas y leer, ahora mi cuerpo y Guru se mueven y piden cundo quieran ahy recibo el gusto y me gusta, dibujos de a poco, y pranayama.

Ayurveda no se, voy a conversar con algun devoto pero que debo hacer, entendi tratar mi cuerpo, hace poco estoy tomando medicamentos ( pastillas), generan exigencias de actividad fisicas, es muy favorable para mi utilizar estas energias; y tengo un papelito que dice que estoy incapacitado por eso dependo de los padres.

En marzo estudio ingles; y para la vida algun estudio como contabilidad y administracion.

DEspues de todo Maharaja solo entiendo que soy un instrumento, eso es lo unico y me gusta ser intrumento de Guru, ahy esta el gusto, yo se que no me pedira alguna como de lo que yo no sea capaz de ejecutar.

 HpS -   TlgaSP     Muy bien su reportaje.   Esta en el sendero correcto.  Solamente tiene que adelantar.   No sustituto para Bhakta.   Si, es grande el resulto o pequena, no tan importante.  La importa es su esfuerza, cantar mas, sequir el processos mas, asociar con devotos mas.

Toma una voto cumplir un cuantidad de rondas antes de 10AM.    Y cumplir lo sin fallar par unos dias.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Hey, Maya-pura Prahlada Das, can we get some system to Tag the Letters: Personal Sadhana Reports, Sankirtana/Temple Activity Reports, Hot Topics, Calendar Development?

Done. From now on all letters will have to be assigned to one or more categories which will allow to filter them.

I added also DTC as it doesn't neccessary be one of previously mentioned categories.

Please let me know if I should add/rename/remove any categories.

Your servant Prahlada-nrsmha das (vedabase.com, soon Mayapur)

HpS - ASA -   Jaya!    AGTSP   Paoho.    Thank you.   We give it a try.  Of course, Orangutangs are sceptical of changes in their cages.

Dear Gurumaharaj, I tried to read Srimad Bhagavatam, but I don´t  feel qualified, I think that until we can apply in my life the knowledge of Bhagavad Gita, Upadesanvrta y Sri Isopanisad, I will not be qualified to appreciate the nectar of Srimad Bhagavatam,  I wrongin thinkingthis way?

HpS - ASA   -  Jaya!    Srila Prabhupada wrote books for everybody.   I think BG is very tough.   It is an Upanishad, just like Isopanishad.  To me these are books for people like Kant and Socrates.  They are beginning books, but for very intellectual beginners.  So, these books are great, but what about reading the KRSNA book the same time??? ? ?         Also, biography of Sirila Prabhuapada. Science of Self Realization.   What about th Bio-graphy of Lord Caitanya at the begiining of SB?

Please accept my humble obeisanses

Dear Maharaj,
I was greatly surprised to read about Krsna's flute and watch the youtube links on this kapi Dhvaja.  In fact I'm a musician and play the flute as well as the guitar.   I had a wonderful experience two weeks ago in the afternoon part of the 12 hour kirtan in the temple. The devotees leading were all Indian Vaisnavas and allowed me to play the flute with them right there in fron of the Deities. it was as if i was transported to Vrndavana plus there was a Fire ceremony right next to us to celebrate the 60th birthday of a prominent Indian vaisnava couple. It was just overwhelming for me,  I blended somehow and had an experience that will remain imprinted in my heart forever.  Mercy has no bounds.  I didn't diserve to be there with all those pure vaisnavas but some how there I was, in Vrndavana for a couple of hours.  Oh Lord, Oh Lord.   Events like this come once in a lifetime and I will keep it and cherish it.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada ! !        Maharaj I have a small question.  When Arjuna is allowed to see the Universal Form in BG he is filled with awe and fear.  As far as I know for the for    {fourth??}   the time in the whole Gita/Mahabarata ?  How terrifying, mysterious and incomprenhensible this form is !   my question is - why did Krsna allowed him to see it?   and how did he overcame such an overwhelming experience?  of course he was already a devotee of the Lord. But still  I fear this form.  I may have had an encounter with something similar. I fear the ecstatic experiences much appreciated  in bhava state.    I thank you once again for taking the time of reading my nonesense mumblings and even more for answering them. I know you time is precious to Lord Caitanya and his devotees.   May the Lord keep you in good health.

HpS - ASA   -   Jaya Srila Prabhupada!        Teresa of Avila, as we are reading a her writing a little, and Bh Vinode Thakura, both comment that as we get these higher tastes we have to go ahead and give up our inferior diet and take the higher diet. She says basically that we see the importance of becoming a full-time, regulated devotee, but we like the ease of being a Sunday Feast guest and doing what we want to, chanting only when we want to.    So, we go on to higher things, basically because we realize that Krsna, really, really loves us and misses us so much.  He wants us to come back and be with everyone else in the pasture. They all miss us!

More specifically, as I understand, Krsna didn't want to show His Universal Form to Arjuna. It is like you have a friend who is an assasin for the army and you ask him how he does his work, and he says, "Hey, come on, that's a stupid thing to talk about".  But Arjuna persists, not for his benefit but for our benefit. He wants the materialistic devotees to realize what is this world, how powerful Krsna is, and then we can start to appreciate Him as a person. When you really get to know the King as a person automatically you she has this ability to be so brave and powerful within him.

That's what we understand.

Thank you for your letter!
