Letters to the editor

Pamho.

AgtSP.

Dandavats.

I am Pablo of the Parikrama, from Spain.

I wish you are good in all conditions.

Espero que Vrndavana le de misericordia y mas misericordia.

Thanks you very much for your association and lessons, ha sido un regalo muy feliz para mi.

Mi voto Maharaja muy bien, no he podido acceder a internet antes. Sigo en mi linea. Muy feliz.

Ahora estoy en la finca de la familia, Balarama Loka, mucho trabajo, muy bonito.

Mi madre me ha pedido que haga una cabanya para las Deidades y para mi, y eso me ha dado mucha estimulacion y alegria.

Con mis padres y hermano muy bien.

Los temas legales que tengo poco a poco estan mas cerca.

Pase Maharaja muy buenos dias en Nueva Vraja Mandala y conoci muy buenos devotos y devotas en el templo, han sido muy agradables y Usted el que mas.

Yo me encuentro intentando mejorar mi sadhana para poder realizar el Mangala-arati completo pero sencillo antes de las 8:30 con las rondas, pero aun no he conseguido totalmente., asi que generalmente todo rondas. Empezando la lectura, intentando que sea fija, estos dias no lo ha sido.

Estoy intentando profundizar en Sus enseñanzas trascendentales y en como aplicarlas a mi conciencia.

A Sus pies y mis mejores deseos. Recuerdo mucho los dias con Usted.

HARE KRSNA.

ASA- TlgaSP  Super.  Estamos luchando tambien cumplir todo.  Tenemos que fijar los prioridades y realiza aun podemos dejar estas cuerpos.   Un reportaje exacto de su Japa para la proxima encuentra!!!   Claro el libro KRSNA     ---Cada Dia---   y estamos advanzndo a la proxima etapa en la Lucha con La Bruja!!!

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Once again, my updates are as usual...constant struggle..still reminding Govinda Datta Das to write to the blog...and trying to accept my Karmic situation being here. I keep trying to manipulate the situation by my own means in a poor effort to improve things here at the temple. I have failed to remember to simply surrender and let Krishna take care of it here. I had a good reminder of that today. It was nice..sort of a smash of the false ego you know? I feel refreshed. I'm still unsatisfied, but am again persuing indifference to my emotional relationship to the situation and also focusing on correcting my own mistakes (which I feel is a constant effort) and improving my service.

There is a devotee in this temple who just arrived. He is isn't initiated, but was taught the gayatri mantra. He asked me to ask you if it is an offense to chant that without being initiated?

ASA - HpS  -   AGTSP  pamho.  As far as we know it is EXTREMELY dangerous.  Always saw bad results, one guy ended up en a mental hospital and then had a frontal lobotomy!

(Doesn't the spiritual master give the disciple the gayatri? I'm not sure how he got it, he isn't aspiring to anyone.)

Anyway, there are some interested characters at this temple now.

Please tell me if I am out of line asking another repeated question. What would it take for a devotee such as myself to travel with you for some time?

ASA - $600 and ability to follow our nature and schedule!  Hare!

I assume I would have to pay my own way? Are there any qualifications I need to amount to? I'm sure you have many disciples want your constant association.

I am also unsure if I should be going back to Utah with Caru as I originally planned. I recall that their Mongala Aratic doesn't start untill 6am or something.

Monkey - Oh, my God!

I want to go for the association of my good friend Hanuman Das, and to see my family (my grandma before she leaves her body). But I'm not sure if that would be in my best interest. Would you prefer me to stay someplace else? Should I even leave this temple?

Thank you for your guidance and words of support. I'd be lost at this temple if it weren't for you. I am constantly looking to serve you better.

Your lowliest servant,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS - ASA -  Get up early and get your rounds done.  Send a report to the blog on how many rounds you have done before 10AM for the next three days!!!

In Vrndavana

AGTSP

Paoho

and best wishes.   We've been chanting Japa since 1.30AM.    Monkey played to computer games last night after a hard days work. He will lean how to do something better.  Our motorcyle ride to Varsana for Lokanatha Maharaja's Govardhana Puja leaves at 4AM or 4.30AM or 5AM or 5.30AM.   The motor cycle will run over our right foot and we will come back with a crushed foot in a bloody bandage.

Hare!

Such are the flowers that Radha and Krsna offer us in in Vrndavana. Become decorated with the flowers of Vraja!

Chant Hare Krsna all the time.

HpS and us Answered the letters at the Blog good.   Now the Kapi Dhvaja and Bath etc.

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!
