Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, pamho agtSP.

As, there are tricks to play Mrdnga.

What are the tricks to play Brhad Mrdnga?

HpS/ASA - Prabhupada calls them spiritual though material tricks.

For example, if you ask a question in such a way that the answer is naturally yes, eg. "you like to eat grass, right", then keep your mouth shut and smile and nod your head up and down, there is tremendous pressure for the other person to answer yes.

Of course you ask, "So you'd like to take a book, right".

Then if it takes one, two minutes, you don't say anything. You just keep the "iron smile" on your face and keep nodding your head up and down encouragingly.

There are others.

They are just regular stuff that salesmen use.

Devotees can learn some. They become habit, but the real book distribution potency is purity of purpose eg. compassion, realization by intelligent deliberation and personal austerity that these books will benefit the person!!

Thank you.

Hope you become a Sankirtan man on the level of Narada Muni.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva todos las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada🙏

Escribo con sentimiento muy amorosos esta humilde ofrenda de Vyasa Puja, es un día muy especial porque es un momento en donde puedo meditar en lo importante que es para mí su refugio y asociación. Cada carta escrita en su blog son tesoros para mí, ya que en sus respuestas se plasma sus instrucciones que son guías que me acompañaran por el resto de mí vida. En estos días me he enterado que su salud esta delicada y es imposible no pensar en el día que ya su cuerpo material no este junto a nosotros, pero intento apegarme a sus palabras y meditar que siempre estaremos unidos a través del santo nombre. Al escribir pienso que una vez usted comento en una clase que no vio muchas veces a Srila Prabhupada, sin embargo eso le basto para saber que quería servirlo durante toda su vida. Yo siento algo similar Gurudeva con usted, no he tenido tantas instancias en donde he podido estar con usted en persona, pero lo que he compartido me basta para saber que usted es mi inspiración en Conciencia de Krishna, admiro su sencillez, determinación, inteligencia, diplomacia, ecuanimidad y sentido de humor. Al escribir también recuerdo que una vez en una clase menciono que el verdadero olvido de Krshna es no cantar nuestras rondas, esa frase calo profundo en mi mente y corazón, y me sirve para no caer en mis rondas. No me alcanzan las palabras para agradecer por tantas enseñanzas que nos entrega día a día en su Programa de Japa y por estar siempre dispuesto ayudar en nuestra vida espiritual. Espero poder servir y ayudar en su servicio a Srila Prabhupada siempre querido Gurudeva.

Con mucho cariño y admiración Havihsara Devi Dasi.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, all glories to Srila Prabhupada🙏

I write this humble Vyasa Puja offering with great love. It is a very special day because it is a time when I can meditate on how important your shelter and association are to me. Each letter written on your blog is a treasure to me, as your responses reflect your instructions, which are guidelines that will accompany me for the rest of my life. These days I have learned that your health is failing, and it is impossible not to think about the day when your material body will no longer be with us, but I try to cling to your words and meditate that we will always be united through the holy name.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP Our health is pretty good. It is just the natural cycle of a machine growing old, then at some point the repairs become to major, so we get a new car and the iron in the old one is melted down to form a new car for someone else.

We have all been through it thousands of times!

As I write this, I think that you once mentioned in a class that you didn't see Srila Prabhupada very often; however, that was enough for you to know that you wanted to serve him for the rest of your life. I feel something similar about you, Gurudeva. I haven't had many opportunities to be with you in person, but what you've shared is enough for me to know that you are my inspiration in Krishna Consciousness.

I admire your simplicity, determination, intelligence, diplomacy, equanimity, and sense of humor.

As I write, I also remember that once in a class you mentioned that the true forgetfulness of Krishna is not chanting our rounds. That phrase resonated deeply in my mind and heart, and it helps me not to fall into my own rounds. Words fail me to express my gratitude for the many teachings you give us every day in your Japa Program and for always being willing to help in our spiritual lives. I hope to be of service and help in your service to Srila Prabhupada, always my dear Gurudeva.

With much love and admiration, Havihsara Devi Dasi.

HpS - We always remember again, and again and again how we have been completely self centered at every step of our devotional life. Jayananda Das once said that Krsna consciousness is eating and sleeping in the best of company. Only eat Prasadam and sleep in the Brahmacari ashrama and you will have no problems.

Srila Prabhupada has pulled us!!! Pulled us!!! and figured out how to make his servants from mud!

AgtSP.

Thank you for your association!!!

Hare krishna Querido Gurudeva, Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada !

Este año para mí no ha sido tan fácil en términos de salud, eso me ha traído como consecuencia que mis servicios en el templo de Santiago han sido intermitentes, pero he intentado mantenerme activa dentro de mis posibilidades. He leído, cantar mis rondas, mejorar en el kirtan, aun no logro cantar, sin embargo estoy tocando algunos instrumentos, además junto a mi asociado estamos en la distribución de libros hacia la región de Antofagasta que se encuentra hacia el norte de Chile. Otro nuevo servicio que he podido explorar es hacer ropa para deidades, es algo que me hace sentir muy feliz, de niña hacia ropa para mis muñecas y ahora hacerlo para el señor es algo increíble. Espero siempre poder ir mejorando para lograr en algún momento ser una buena discípula, sé que estoy recién comenzando, pero siempre oro para que mi bhakti siga incrementando aunque existan dificultades. Estoy consciente que debo mejorar muchas cosas y por sobre todo mis rondas, espero algún día poder decir que canto 16 buenas rondas. Muchas gracias Gurudeva siempre por todo su apoyo y paciencia.

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurudeva, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

This year hasn't been so easy for me in terms of health. This has meant that my services at the Santiago temple have been intermittent, but I've tried to stay active as much as possible. I've read, chanted my rounds, and improved my kirtan. I still can't sing, but I'm playing some instruments. My associate and I are also distributing books to the Antofagasta region, located in northern Chile. Another new service I've been able to explore is making clothing for deities. It's something that makes me feel very happy. As a child, I made clothes for my dolls, and now doing it for the Lord is incredible. I always hope to keep improving so that at some point I can become a good disciple. I know I'm just starting, but I always pray that my bhakti continues to increase even if there are difficulties. I'm aware that I need to improve many things, especially my rounds. I hope one day to be able to say that I've chanted 16 good rounds. Thank you so much, Gurudeva, for all your support and patience.

HpS/ASA - Thank you, agtSP, for this precise, concise, report, news.

What is the name of our personal associate?

Hope to see some pictures of the deity dresses.

Also of your home altar!

Does your Associate do wood working?

We apologize to you and everyone that we have been slow in reading the Annual Reports and Vyasapuja Offerings.

Our hearing is at least 70% gone and the same for our eyes, balance, stamina, mental function.

😆

Yet, our intellect and spiritual alertness is increasing at an excellent pace!!

This Yoga works.!

We thank you for your quick note to our WhatsApp address alerting us to the Blog post.

Part of the delay was that I did not recognize your secular name, Stephanie! Maybe start a new account here with your ecclesiastic name!!!!

Havi (Ghee) Sara (Essence) Devi Dasi.

Hope your book distribution develops into making book distributors and if Krsna desires He will do the magic!!

Sankirtan!

Gauranga!

O.K. to your next letter!

PAOHO

AGTSP!

Gurumaharaja, thank you very much for your prompt response. In addition to the idea of ​​doing photo reports of the deity (a subject that has excited us greatly), I am asking if you think it appropriate to continue the translation of Suhotra Swami's "Dimensions of Good and Evil," a project I began three years ago and which was approved by his disciple, Vidyagati Prabhu.

It is a morally based text that I consider important for its analysis of modern times and the necessary differentiation of Vaishnava morality from Western standards based on Christianity.

The translation is an exercise I can do in my spare time between my duties. My plan is to produce them in e-book format and distribute them free of charge to devotees who are studying Bhakti Sastri and Bhakti Vaibhava. Any other suggestions?

HpS/ASA - Wow! Sounds wonderful. I always liked Maharaja's scholarship. He got things done. He didn't have to always produce first class stuff!

This is Kali yuga.

Radar won the Battle of Britain.

It was third class, but first class never would have gotten done, and second class would have been too late. So, third class was good enough!

Hope today's other posts are useful to you also!!! ???

Your disciple

Gandharva das

Querido Guru Maharaha, PAMHO, TLGTSP!!

Espero que esta carta te encuentre bien y que tu salud sea buena a pesar de todo. Como han expresado algunos hermanos y hermanas, preferí no escribir para no saturar su buzón y su valioso tiempo, pensando en la carga que esto podría ser. Siguiendo sus instrucciones de hoy en el Servicio Matutino Completo, a continuación se muestra un informe resumido de actividades:

- 16 R y 4P: Me levanto temprano y salgo a caminar para cantar mis rondas; Para mí, es la mejor manera de mantener mi mente enfocada en cantar. 4P muy bueno.

- En enero celebramos tu Vyasa Puja: Havihsara hizo las decoraciones, Danistha dio la clase y Priya Sakhi fue nuestra maestra de ceremonias (fotos adjuntas). Un hermoso día de servicio para honrar todo lo que hacen por nosotros.

- Con Nityananda Prana das, tuvimos unos días de vacaciones en el sur de Chile, visitando amigos devotos en varias ciudades, llevándoles libros y compartiendo prasadam. Fue un lindo viaje para compartir y ver a Krishna presente en la naturaleza... Parece obvio, pero se nos olvida.

- Con Nityananda Prana das, hicimos una modificación a nuestro altar: ahorramos espacio manteniendo las mismas deidades. Tom Brown está justo al lado de tu foto 🐵

- Principales festivales (Balarama Purnima, Nityannda Trayodasi, Gaura Purnima et al): Lo celebré en casa porque he estado viviendo lejos del templo. Hice guirnaldas para mis deidades con flores de mi jardín.

- SS Bhakti Sundar Goswami estuvo acá en Santiago, estoy leyendo los libros que distribuyó. Muy interesante.

Infinitamente agradecido a ti, Gurudeva, por ser tu discípulo. ¡Gracias por todo!

Tu siervo,

Damni dd

Dear Guru Maharaja, PAMHO, TLGTSP!!

I hope this letter finds you well and that your health is good despite everything.

HpS/ASA - 😆

How can you ask that! 😆

😆

😆

Your Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Great Great, Great Great Great.... are all dead or have diseases. You and I and our readers and Srila Prabhupada all have diseases.

"This body does not get diseases, this body is a disease"!

If KRSNA wants us to stay here to preach, or get more purification in a certain type of body (dog, hog, god, frog) then it is O.K.

We see, experience the distress and enjoy it as KRSNA's push to go back home, back to Hog hood (if we are worshipping Lord Varah).

Hope this does not reach you.

Hope you are "dead"!

... and on the pathway up ahead! Leading us to Nimai, Nabadvipa Dhama! Thank you!!!

As some brothers and sisters have expressed, I preferred not to write so as not to overwhelm your mailbox and your valuable time, considering the burden this could be.

HpS - No, it's fine! Just see our rhythm.

Following your instructions today at the Full Morning Service, below is a summary report of activities:

- 16 R and 4P: I wake up early and go for a walk to chant my rounds; for me, it's the best way to keep my mind focused on chanting. 4P very good.

HpS/ASA - Yes! Has advantages for us too. We must be Shudras, no? All our energy is in our legs?

- In January, we celebrated your Vyasa Puja: Havihsara made the decorations, Danistha taught the class, and Priya Sakhi was our master of ceremonies (photos attached). A beautiful day of service to honor all you do for us.

- With Nityananda Prana das, we spent a few days on vacation in southern Chile, visiting devotee friends in various cities, bringing them books and sharing prasadam. It was a lovely trip to share and see Krishna present in nature... It seems obvious, but we forget.

- With Nityananda Prana das, we made a modification to our altar: we saved space by keeping the same deities. Tom Brown is right next to your photo 🐵

- Major festivals (Balarama Purnima, Nityananda Trayodasi, Gaura Purnima, et al): I celebrated at home because I've been living far from the temple. I made garlands for my deities with flowers from my garden.

- H. H. Bhakti Sundar Goswami was here in Santiago; I'm reading the books he distributed. Very interesting.

HpS/ASA - He is our old friend! He has a 37% Arab body, no??? 🙂

Infinitely grateful to you, Gurudeva, for being your disciple. Thank you for everything!

Your servant,

Damni dd

HpS/ASA Infinitely grateful to Srila Prabhupada for having association of you and all of your associates.

If you live far from the Temple, then make all you neighbors, contacts devotees. Make it a Temple!!

Such nice photo journalism! Thank you for the pictures and clips. All respects to Nityananda Prana Dhana Das!!!

We are eternally part of the Sankirtan in Chile!
