Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaj:

Pamho>AgtSP.

Surya Siddhanta provides alot of interesting information regarding calculating planetary postions, including eclipes of the Sun and Moon.

It is important to note that some significant changes are made to the ordering of the planets made in the 5th Canto, SB. The Moon comes first, followed by Mercury, Venus, the Sun, then the ordering is the same with Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Rahu is seen as an effect rather than a cause. Detailed explanations follow on how to calculate orbits, etc. If you ever wanted to know why the ordering of the planets occur as they do in our standard week, this is explained also.

SS is a difficult text without the aid of simple diagrams. Once these are added, any intelligent devotee will easily grasp the content. It appears SP was not familiar with the details of the text but recommended us to it before building the Vedic Planetarium.  As you may know, Danavir Maharaj has had BSST's work translated into English from Bengali and I believe it has been used to aid in the design of the TOVP.

I look forward to creating an edited version of the Surya Siddhanta, Siddhanta Siromani and the 5th Canto. In all respects, my aim is to resolve any confilcts that may occur in devotees minds as they contemplate the Universe for the first time without recourse to the present day helio-centric view of modern astronomy,  to increase sadhana and appreciation for the Vedic Version.

YHS, Saranga-das Thakur dasa

Tom Brown - AGTSP   paoho.  We are ready to see you work!

Dear Guru Maharaja:
                  I hope everything go well. How is you health??

HpS - ASA -  We died of cancer from smoking toabacco three days ago!

                   Oh Krishna! I view my old letters and 14 weeks also was my last letter... Sorry I'm shame about that...
                  My chanting go.. sometimes good sometimes amazing but never stop. 4 principles go well. I keep serving Nitay Gaura Nataraja, Srila Prabhupada. And now Jagannatha Baladeva and Subhadra's!!! Madhavendra Puri Das and Yasoda Mayi DD Give me their babies to take care <img alt="laugh" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.gif" title="laugh" />
                  The proyects about I told you (books of Srila Pprabhupada on tape) i was talking with the representant in Latin america of BBT, and told me, there's a possibility. And krishna guide me to meet people who can help me to make it happend. The program of action social, where we repart bhoga to devotees who need keep on, but this month not so well, because this month there were not  many donations, but we keep on!!!
                  GM I have another issue, I saw and listen many things that affect me and demotivate me, what can i do with that feeling?

HpS -  AGTSP   You must develop intelligence to put them in the proper perspective by chanting Hare Krsna and studying Srimad Bhagavatam

I was envolved in things that don't want. Tell me GM character is a bad thing?

HpS - You question is incomprehensible.  May be the translation...

Because are devotees I have to let go? sorry but my inexperience can exposed me to situations about I'm not handle. Perhaps say what one thinks is sometimes not good. I question about that because I want improve that and afecte me in my devotional life. That's the only reason.                        I see other things about its hard to manage like i'm graduate and the first labor years are so difficult to have a balance, sometimes neglect my duties for Krishna and vice versa. I really need to work to live. Sometimes I feel guilty, because I can't attend Krishna like I would. Iit's wrong to think ahead like a professional? Many things are inside my head maybe I have to stop to think all time eacch seccond... I don't know.


Sorry for my long letter... It's because past so much time...
i hope your health be good and I hope no dissapoint you with my poor evolution.

Thank's for your time...                



Trying to lern how to serve you-Bna Romi-<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a36.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/38.gif" title="" /><img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/37.gif" title="" />         HpS - ASA  --- Letter is too long and the translation is so poor that it is basically incomprehensible, but all that will change, and you will know how to relate to devotees properly if you pronounce the Mantra more clearly and pray to Krsna to give you good association like a father, brother etc.!

Hare Krsna, AGTSP, PAMHO, AGT you

this question refers to various segment/types of rules .

ASA TB/BW -  AGTSP    Hare Krsna!  What does "segment/types rules" mean!!!?

i know we need to have high sublte intelligence to get this answered, understand and apply. we dont have such intelligence, but we still are asking, because we think we have already made a mess of our life and linked to others both materially and spiritually.

1. which rules are indepedent of time , place and circumstances.

ASA - If you are a pure devotee, none of them. Arjuna's rules and regulations all depended on the moments changes of the battle!  In heaven or hell however we have to follow the four principles and chant 16 nice rounds daily minimum!

2. how do we understand what is principle of what is detail.

By smoking marajuana and riding bicycles, but we have to give that up to understand them properly.

3. how do we know we are following strictly instead of fanatically (niyama-āgraha).

Because Krsna is in our heart and He will make us feel proper if we are doing it for Him and not for our honor and prestige.

4. we read SP books which gives us so many instructions, how do we know which one we have to apply. for example we thought these series of verses [SB 2.2.4 -2.2.5] are meant for every devotee. 

TB - Don't know those verses from memory!!

But later we realized  after commiting mistakes for months this verse is for sannyasi not householder.

please enlighten us.

we have more question in such lines ,but wait for you reply

regards,

harsh

TB - ASA -   Very good questions, but basic principle is to always chant Hare Krsna. If you have any doubt what to do chant Hare Krsna.    Getting up eary and getting your rounds done well is the first principle. You should always do that.
Are you doing it?

Until you are a little advanced in that your other questions won'te be very valuable!!!
Tell us the results of your efforts in this area.

 Hare krishna  !!

 jay srila prabhupada  ki jayy!!!

Obeisances !!!

 jay  sri   radheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  shyammmmmmm  shyammmmmmmmm!!!

HpS - ASA    AGTSP   panmho  SUper question.  Millions will benefit.  Even the CIA  and FBI.   OUt internet access has been bad so we haven't been able to access the accoutn.  But it should improve.  So let us be a little patient!!

Hare Krishan Dear Gurudev

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

No, we don't hear and chant with catholics, but I don't see why we couldn't? Our philosophy is non-sectarian, so I speculated that we could hear and chant with anyone? Caru, from Utah, has chanted Hare Krishna with people from all different  sects of religion. I think we could hear and chant with them, if they were willing. If we could all just overcome our false ego, and stop identifying ourselves with any given sect of religion, then we could all hear and chant together. But that is just my opinion. What do you think?

How does the system of marriage work?

I hate to repeat myself, but I'm still curious if you can make it either to Hawaii, or Utah after I return there? What would help make either of those trips possible?

I wish there was more service I could do for you. I feel like I'm not doing enough. If there is anymore I can do, please let me know.

Your humble disciple,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS - AGTSP  pamho.  Thank yo so much or you letter.   We are running through the sun and dust and trash and horns and broken glass to K Balarama's arati.  I don't think we can make it to Hawaii or Utah soon. but God only knows.  System of marriage is that you dont think about it to much until you are gettting ready for second initiation.  So we chant with Catholiocs.  But they have Jesus for an Acharya so we have to appreciate these diference and adjust.  So with other followers of Bh Siddhanta we have to adjust for the detials!  Jaya.  NoI.

Runningf!
