Letters to the editor

Dear Gurudev:

I'm so excited with the notice of your next visit to Spain!! I'll try to take some days of my holydays, to be in Madrid temple and follow you any where you go. You will be in Barcelona temple too? I hope you can.

I follow in my effort for fight against this voice that says me every day: " where you going?, you be fine here in the warm bed... don't leave it!, stay warm and sleep again.." some times the effort is bigger but finally when I'm in front of my dear Gour-Nityananda deities, I can realize that this is what I should to do every day, try humbly to follow your instructions, you teachings, Srila Prabhupada's teachings and advices.

Dear Gurudev, I wait for your next visit, and the next KD to ear some fresh news about you.

You humble servant

Prananath Das

Pd.  Where or how can I get some copy of the movie that you say in some KD? Oscar's Prabhu Movie

Radhe Radhe Shyam!!!!!!!!!!!
 

HpS  Hare Krsna.  Nice to hear from you.  Yes, we are supposed to land in Madrid and then go to Barcelona and New Vraja.  The exact, proposed, dates should be as always at:

www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.txt

Y e s ,  we face the same challenge.  So, easy to sleep when we should be chanting and writing.

Benjamin Franklin said, "Be active, work. There will be enough time for sleep when you are dead!"

I discover that praying to Krsna to help us work and then even doing something that will help keep us awake really advances us.

Jaya.  Hear many details from everyone when we are in Spain!
 

I'm afraid that my japa is still cut, a thousand excuses not get it to be continuous, uncut.
Varuna normal, barely see, and Virginia only cause me problems, you may need to be a long time without seeing Varuna and the truth is that scares me a little because I am very difficult to control my mind in that situation, but I learning to have a more global vision, or so I would like.
They really need my japa is continuing to be well, I know very well, and I wish you much, but I can not.
My mind makes problems eat my day, my steps, plans and the truth, I'm trying to break a stone wall, fought with everything and just look away all that is around me. I do not think that is bad, but it affects me.
My brother needs my help on the ground at 100 km W of farm madrid, Varuna need me and I him, and I can not end under any order to do my duty well, not even sure I can see Varuna 4 days a month.
I would love to take refuge in ISKCON but I can not leave my brother alone in the ground with everything he has done only by the best and highest intentions. I can not leave Varuna, and all my efforts can not solve the problems.
Yadunanda Swami said one thing that will stay with me "acts as if everything depended on you, knowing that everything depends on Krsna" ... When you throw in the towel?.
I feel betrayed Krsna not protecting me, but how can I abandon my immediate obligations?, What example would give?, How to live with myself not knowing if I did the maximum I could? ... That Krsna forgive me so I will say, I find myself unable to leave anyone, least of Varuna, so helpless. I am young, crazy, arrogant and immature, but Krsna is Almighty, He knows everything, He knows many things. He knows how I am and know I'm crazy for running to his arms, but, how can I live with my faults, my situation, my duties and my divine natural duties ?
Karma says Varuna will not learn anything from me, but he will feel admiration for me and surely will be so, but I will do what I have to do, until Providence oblige me to be somewhere else.
Is it wrong to act like this?
Maharaja forgive me if it has been long, I needed to express myself.
I see you everywhere, thanks.

Thanks you very much.

All glories to Sri Sri Gouranga Nityananda

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my most humble obeisance

Here Krishna Maharaja, my name is Ignacio González. I have been trying to become a devotee here in Viña del Mar, Chile. I´m studying at the university to become a biology teacher.

 I write this letter to ask you, could you take me as your aspirant disciple? I´m not very advanced because I´m envious, but I have been really trying to change these. Maharaja I really think that I have to serve you in whatever I could be useful in your mission, you are the most expert, learned and pure devotee that I ever know, I´m sure that you are my spiritual master and my position is to serve you eternally.

I have been chanting 16 rounds a day for 2 years now, my service for the last year and a half has been cooking for the deities and giving lectures, for the last 8 month we have been running namahatta programs in my place with the help of other devotees, here in Viña del Mar.

 The last time that you bless us with your visit, here in Viña del Mar, I translated a conference for you (this is a link of a picture where we are together, I´m the one in the back that is holding your bag).

I hope that this letter has not bother you

Trying to serve you

Bh. Ignacio González.

HpS -  AGTSP!   pamho.   I am not so advanced, but I am honestly trying to control my mind and senses and by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we have ISKCON.

If we stay in the association of devotees and follow Srila Prabhupada's program then we can conquer lust and envy.

I remember our visit to Vina, our house on the coast.

I remember we visited devotees house for Nama hatta program.

The link didn't come.

Is very nice to meet you.

Do you have much contact with Vanamali Dasi en Valparaiso and the devotees there?

Ananda shyama in Santiago stays in regular contact with us.

About initiation look at the link under Guru-tattva in the Bulletin.

O.K?

Hare Krsna!!!!!!!!!

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Dear Maharaja, please accept my most respectful obeisances
 
Thank you very much for your last letter (it was published in your blog). Each letter you sent me is full of transcendental knowledge.
 I’m fine in general, but struggling (fight)  every day with my defects (anarthas)!
 
This letter is  to ask you about the possibility of publishing in Chile "Light of the Bhagavata”. You asked me to do the steps, remember? I talked to the editorial’s owner of “Editorial Cuarto Propio” and she asked me about copyright permissions.

Marisol Vera asked me questions like:

*Which would be the conditions of the publication?

*The complete financing of the book would make by Editorial Cuarto Propio?

*Whichever units would have this Chilean edition? The books in Chile are generally of 1000 units.

*Who has the rights or legal permissions of the LIGHT OF THE BHAGAVATA? (Who has the right of texts, the photography and the permission of the translators?)

*How it would be the distribution of the book? In Chile or also abroad?

* Perhaps the Chilean edition of the "Light of the Bhagavata" could be  with softcover to lower cost.

I remember you sent a letter to Hanuman Das Prabhu (Spain) about it, but we never hear back from the devotee.

Probably next week I will go to the editorial room and I will have a new interview with the owner. Chile IKSCON’s  president wants to talk to her. Marisol Vera is very nice!

In a next letter I hope to send you a report about Utsaha magazine. Prabhu Jagat Guru, Mother Kriya Sakti  and me are coordinating some important things about this magazine. Maybe this Friday, December 3, we will be a meeting in the Temple!

When do you plan to visit Chile?

To their lotus feet,

the most fallen of all,

Bhakta Rodrigo Hernandez Piceros

Jaya.  AGTSP   paoho.  So, nice to hear from you.  We got three letters from Chile.  We were feeling very sad to hear nothing for so long!

We are in Argentina.

Yes!!!    Hanuman Prabhu seems to be very busy with other Sankirtana service!   We are also thinking to publish it in soft cover.

I think we are in Chile again in July.

If you meet her again explain that the BBT manager is in Spain and is very busy, but if she would like to publish it then we, HpS can run to catch him

If she wants to co-publish, share expenses, then we can talk in July.

99% sure that the BBT would keep all the copy rights and she could publish a fixed quantity under license.

O.K?

Krsna doesn't care so much how much you give.  He is more concerned that you are giving all you have!!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Goura Nitay!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabupada!

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, esperando que se encuentre bien en el más amplio sentido, le escribo para contarle sobre mi servicio. Estamos participando junto a mi familia en el programa de Bhakti Vriksa Zona Oriente, junto a P. Janardana. Hoy justamente tenemos una conferencia que se llevara a cabo en una biblioteca en un Mall, se hará una presentación de: ¿Que es la conciencia de Krishna?. Esperamos que sea un exito y más personas puedan conocer este movimiento y a Srila Prabhupada. Mis rondas las estoy cantando más tarde de lo que me gustaria, se que es una cosa que debo mejorar. Me encuentro leyendo el canto II del SB, texto 22, Cap 4, El Proceso de la Creación. El mes anterior con mi esposa e hija, ofrecimos casi todo el mes mechitas de ghe a Sri Damorar, tambien participaron unas compañeras de escuela de mi hija,encendiendo mechitas y pidiendo deseos al Señor, y ahora quieren sus collares de Kunti, es muy lindo ver a los niños haciendo esto de manera natural y alegre. Querido Gurudeva, me gustaria en algun momento ser un digno discipulo suyo, tengo mucha maleza en mi corazon que a veces ahogan mi bhakti, me gustaria estar con Ud porque me inspira de una maravillosa forma.

Me despido Gurudeva, le estoy muy agradecido.

Su sirviente

HpS - ASA ---  No podemos entider muy bien Castellano.  Pero TLGASP   pfanrh.  Muchas gracias sus noticias.  Aparece que tiene buena familia quien ayuda mucho en su vida espiritual.
