Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaj, AGTSP , PAMHO

in the letter http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/node/1322  thy  asked us "Are there not any devotees where you are physically situated. They may be Ramanuja Sampradaya. Tha is still fine?"

---there are devotees, from chowpatty temple,  it is handled by Disciples of Radha Nath Maharaj.
we can give his details at ur mail id if  thy need it .he is in movement for about 15 years. he has intiated wife. they have very nice home and deities...
we goto there place for morning prasad...  association is there of  unmarried boys and students, only proff is married for 6 years, it seems he  is just to there to preach inside campus.... as it seems again he does/will not have child.
so difficult to find any grhastha association locally who can help us..with whom we can implement "guhyam akhyati pracchati"

our pyscho physical nature ,situaion and nature are completely and radically  different[ such though could be trick of  mind ], therefore we dont develop thick relation with any one. we have taken small vow of going to SUnday feast [as sabbath day].

we are sorry to privde you details.... but we thought its better to give information then to hide it

thank you for genuine concern. thy are our well wisher indeed.....

regards, unbriddled horse

HpS - ASA -   AGTSP      We see nothing to "hide".   You efforts seem very nice. Just have to keep up with them.  We have been in similar situations from time to time. They are arrangements of Krsna.    We have to become simply determined to follow the iinstructions of Lord Caitany, Harer Nama eva kevalau..., no?    Then little by little our complications will reduce and we wil see our path very scientifically. Of course, materialist or spiritualist that path leads to death! 

Dear Guru Maharaja, you wrote:
Visit to Europe:   We have the ticket for sure.  Arrive Brussells 4th May, leave 30th May.  Then, of course idea is to visit Spain and see if Tattva-vada Das wants to kidnap us for his program in Finland.  We could all go to Finland.  What days might be best for you?   How do we travel to Pula?   Public programs aren't necessary, but of course nice. We could just meet the devotees!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Please, sorry for delay in answering to our discussion...
Below is one example of Ryanair flight  from Brussels directly to Pula. Somehow the dates are not in the table.  This is from 7.May to 12.May.  I could cover the expanses. On other hand, FInland seems little complicated.There is no Ryanair from Croatia or even Italy. I could look for other 'normal' companies. But that would imply a flight not from Pula. One thing to be said when planning our meeting is that I have an ongoing changes in respect to job. For example, if on 31.3. I stop working in bio&bio and start in some other company, it would not be possible to have holidays in May (because vacations can be had only after working for 6 months).  Other plan (much more credible) is to stop in bio&bio and re-start working with apartments, which I was doing before. Then there would be no job-threatening-situations to our meeting(s).
Hmm......, I'll keep it short Guru Maharaja and send this right now... Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya das
ps: I read and am aware  about your infos about visits to Manipur and Australia. You said is from second to fourth week in May.
pps: for next year I'm planning a visit to Sridham Mayapur, it's been looong since last time (1999). Do you have plans for next year travelling? Of course, as you say sometimes, you are cutting down on travelling and you may stay at one place .                      We disciples could come visit you.

HpS - Jaya!    AGTSP   paoho   Waiting a little to answer this letter 'till things were clear.   Just came back from Mexico.  Was wonderful but very, very intense. Were able to call Manipur and Kolkatta at 11PM last night and the conclusion is that we arrive Radhadesa 4th May and then from there to India, Manipur, Kolkatta from 8th-28th.  Then we head back to USA!

So, we hope we can see you somewhere but your association by Internet is super just by itself.

Are you joining the 3rd Canto study?

We are getting to reading all the Essays etc.
 

Hare Krsna Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 
    Thank you Maharaj.

    May i know tentitive date of  your Kolkata Visit in May. So that i will be able to book
    my train tickets accordingly.

    I will read SB 1.2 on Vairagya.

Your aspiring servant,
Gopal Biswas

HpS - ASA - Jaya!  AGTSP   We are just leaving for the airport in a few minutes. Back in the USA I will try to call Manipur and confirm dates with them and then with Professor Samaresh in Kolkatta. Then we can fix our inland travel and let you know also!

Dear gurudev<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/22.gif" title="" />

first of all, I would like to apologize for the delay in my report, also, I hope you, this very well, and your activities too.

in this report, I would like to tell , I'm singing my 16 rounds of japa daily, follow my 4 principles, I'm reading the book Krsna, every day before bedtime. 

in this letter, I would like to be honest with you gurudeva, this last month, I felt a little discouraged, in every aspect of my life, Therefore, material, and spiritually, in my life material, I not have the same interest, towards the activities and obligations I have to make, as college, responsibilities, or simple things like project myself, have a fixed goal in my life, I have no interest. And in my spiritual life, also I have this little motivation, if I sing my 16 rounds, but not with the strength I have to make, leave the service flower garland to the temple, is a general lack of motivation in my life, I feel very tired, physically and mentally, feel it is much bigger. my interest in my spiritual life than material. the association of devotees, and devotees closest friends, it helps keep me strong,their eternal association is very important for my. 

I know I'm doing things the hard way, in my life, but, how I can be more ambitious in my spiritual life? , How I can motivate myself, to set short term goals in my life material?, if, are missing the most important thing, "the motivation, to advance" .?? <img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/02.gif" title="" />

and yet despite all this, I've been working on a project, preaches on line, building a web site, going to be, a means of communication, which, covering, with social networks to reach all kinds of people, ages, and know Krsna consciousness.

still not finished, not online, but I would like, if you had a time to visit the site link, your opinion is very important in this Project. <img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a38.gif" title="" />

HpS - ASA - Jaya. AgtSP.  We have to leave for the airport in just 30-minutes.  We have five more letters to answer and we have to pack. Your letter was too long for us to read in detail, but we read it in fast summary. It is very nice. You are tired. You need to get more exercise and rest. At this stage our "devotional service" is executed by the mercy of Krsna through bodily conception, bodily incarnations of Krsna. So, when your body is tired your "Bhakti" is tired.

O.K. Chant Hare Krsna, eat robust diet, work hard and don't worry. Very quickly your iintelligence will return and you will be sharply fixed in the ultimate goal of life!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, por favor reciba mis humildes reverencias, le agradesco mucho el que halla respondido a mi carta, aun seguimos acá en chosica, bueno ya no estamos en los Asram, ahora estamos en la casa de mi madre que queda serca al templo, y de ahí vamos a Mangal Artik todos los dias.

Estamos despertandonos a las 3 y 30 am, cantando 16 buenas rondas, 10 rondas antes de entrar al pujari, 4 principios regulativos, lectura personal el Caitanya Caritamrita.

Acá en el templo hay muchas pruebas, muchos devotos nos han propuesto que nos hagamos cargo del restaurante Govinda de chosica, pero la realidad es que no tenemos el deseo de hacer eso.

Nuestro deseo sincero es hacer Sankirtan, distribuir los libros de Srila Prabhupada.

Entiendo que los devotos se preocupan por nuestro futuro pues somos grihastas, pero nosotros tenemos otros objetivos, y esos objetivos son espirituales, en lo personal me apena mucho que los devotos de chosica no comprendan nuestros deseos espirituales.

El objetivo es ayudar a Srila Prabhupada con el Sankirtan, la distribución de sus libros, es una misión que la haremos siempre, dificultades habran, pero nuestro deseo de hacer Sankirtan se mantiene estable.

Entender a los devotos es todo un proceso, nosotros preferimos estar en diferentes lugares por corto tiempo, de esa manera también nos mantendremos fijos en el Sankirtan.

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido, siempre le pido a Krsna que cuide de su salud, siempre estaremos en contacto, un abrazo.

Hare Krsna!!!!

HpS - ASA - "Hay que llevar a cabo estas actividades con paciencia. No se debe ser impaciente al seguir el proceso de conciencia de Kṛṣṇa. Este movimiento de conciencia de Kṛṣṇa, en efecto, fue empezado sin ninguna ayuda, y al principio no hubo una acogida, pero debido a que continuamos ejecutando nuestras actividades devocionales con paciencia, la gente empezó a comprender gradualmente la importancia de este movimiento, y ahora está participando con vehemencia. No se debe ser impaciente al desempeñar el servicio devocional, sino recibir instrucciones de labios del maestro espiritual y ejecutarlas con paciencia, y depender de la misericordia del guru y de Kṛṣṇa. La ejecucción exitosa de actividades conscientes de Kṛṣṇa requiere tanto de paciencia como de confianza. La joven recién casada espera naturalmente que su esposo le dé hijos, pero no puede esperar engendrarlos inmediatamente después de casarse. Claro que tan pronto como se casa puede intentar engendrar un hijo, pero debe entregarse al esposo, confiando que su hijo se desarrollará y nacerá a su debido tiempo. Similarmente, entrega al ejecutar servicio devocional significa sentir confianza. El devoto piensa, avaśya rakṣibe kṛṣṇa:” Sin duda Kṛṣṇa me protegerá y me ayudará a desempeñar exitosamente el servicio devocional”. A esto se le llama confianza.", NOI 3

Hare Krishna,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada!

Bhakta Adrian here from Utah.

Tom Brown here from Heaven!      Yes, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Things are moving in a positive direction.

TB:     Hmmm!   Little different here.  Indra is afraid that Bali Maharaja is about to attack!

I just got off of skype with the devotees from Boise, and other places, where we had our first Bhakti Sastri class. I am very excited about it. 

The three of us (Bhakta Tracy, Bhaktin Revati, myself) are going to be moving away from the Spanish Fork temple here in Utah to go live at the Salt Lake City temple. It is very small and very new, but very nice. We just had a Siva Ratri last night. It was a surprisingly big festival. I'm not so attracted to Lord Siva, but I did get to play nice kirtana with other devotees. I didn't know you did the jail programs with Chandra Das from Boise. He is a very nice devotee. I enjoy playing kirtana with him, and he preaches very nicely to me. 

I am excited to be going to the small temple in Salt Lake. Caru Prabhu has asked us to move there to do some preaching. We will be distributing books, Harinama, and will be hosting more college programs! I grew up here in Utah, so I am actually extremely excited to do preaching here. There aren't any other devotees that are doing any sort of preaching programs up in the city, so we will be the first ones. And as far as I know we will be the only ones. I am really fired up about it. 

TB: Read The Book of Mormon?

Our rounds are good. Our reading was starting to dwindle, but is picking up due to Bhakti Sastri. Our home worship is very nice. Jaya!

Maybe sometime I could sponsor your trip to visit the nice temple here in Utah?

Your lowly servant,

Bhakta Adrian

TB: Thanks for the offer. We like to travel. Maybe well get there next week. An itenerary like ours is an instability in the face of The Witch.  Keep chanting!    Get married!
