Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

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

More and more drama. Temple president isn't doing a very good job in my opinion. Some pretty suspicious and inappropriate stuff. I emailed the GBC, let's see what he has to say. My inspiration and enthusiasm...really starting to sink. A lot of devotees are looking into leaving. I would also if I hadn't comitted myself already. We do need good devotees here.

I am however still getting all my rounds in before Guru Puja. Today I got three in before Mongal Aratic, the rest during japa time.

I am seeing this "occupy" revolution taking place all over. False ego wants me to be there. False ego is also trying to justify it as a good preaching opportunity

The devotees in the ashram have decide to read Krishna book to each other every night. I want to read NOD.

Your servant,

Bhakta Adrain

HpS - AGTSP  pamho.  We can see faults in people if it is to help them return to their natural position which is superior to us.  When the children smell smoke they run to their parents room and wake them up.  Loss of enthusiam means loss of intelligence.  We have forgotten the goal and how to acheive it.  Go ahead. Be everyones friend and shelter!  O.K.   2.56AM   four letters left from yesterday but we gott bathe an wash clothes and do Hanuman's puja now.  Raktaka Das is already in the other bath room!  Thank you!!!

TLGSP!

Hare Krishna!

Querido Guru Maharaj he logrado nuevamente poder escribirle en este medio gracias a mi hermana y pesada espiritual de Yasasvini dd, dado que ella domina este medio y yo tengo mi cecera por ser mas viejo un poco dura, como la de un mono.

 Le cuento que he logrado hacer un buen cierre de mi vida anterior, osea mi matrimonio. Ahora soy un hombre felizmente soltero y sin ansiedades femeninas, aunque siempre tengo mi cabeza ocupada en seres femeninos, dado que mi hija vive conmigo y toidavia no leo " Las mujeres son de Venus y los hombres son de marte" . Tengo ya una leve sensacion de felicidad, he mejorado mi canto pudiendolo ubicar en siete minutos, corregi un error y era que no tenia las cuentas en cuenta y valga la redundancia, no las sentia en los dedos, pues ahora el maha mantra lo escucho, lo digo y lo siento. Muy bueno.

Tambien le comento que he empezado a comprometerme mas en la actividad con los devotos, por expreso pedido suyo cuando me pidio que me involucrara mas con el ejercito de Gouranga, dado que empezamos a organizar programas de predica con algun tipo de standard, eso quiere decir que queremos hacer una presentacion con formas atractivas, por ejemplo estamos tratando de que hayan bailarinas muy coloridas y preciosas para atraer a Krishna y que nos de el shakti en la predica, tambien estamos queriendo standarizar el prassadam cuidando las medidas de higiene y que sea atractivo y lo deseen. Y por sobre todo generar un lindisimo canto de bhajans y kirtans, queremos que la gente vea que nuestro servicio es con alegria.

Tambien a pesar de que es un objetivo ambicioso, deseo que todo esto nos genere un centro de predica, donde podamos tener un espacio para desarrollar programas, con una buena cocina, salon y me encantaria una buena biblioteca, con algunas PC asi poder estar conectados con los devotos de todo el mundo. 

Le cuento Guru Maharaj que deseo sus bendiciones para mi segunda iniciacion, hable con Baladeva haber si me instruia al respecto y me dijo que si. Por eso espero su aprobacion.

Bueno espero verlo siempre y le deseo la mejor asociacion de su sirviente,

Yadupuri das.

HpS - SUper TlgaSP   pfanrh.  Muy feliz oir de Vd.  Ya son 2.50AM   Estamos corrienndo ir al Templo.  SI esta Blog es nuestra esfuerza de communicacion.  Su Centro de Predica.  Por que no un restaurant tito tito.  Pequeno pero con horas de atencion regular.  Prasadam simple, kirti, tea, pero accesso a libros y siemptre algo alla para responder a preguntas, da associacionn.  Puede alquilar para programas mas amplios!  Sannyasa!

Pamho TlgtSP

Espero que se encuentre bien de salud. 

Sigo aprendiendo mucho cada dia. Aqui en Madrid este mes pudimos disfrutar de la asociacion de Lila Suka Prabhu, que dio un seminario muy intenso de casi tres horas al dia toda la semana; como transformar el conocimiento en dicha segun el S.B. . Actualmente estoy leyendo el libro de Bramacaria en conciencia de Krishna, y tambien estoy haciendo el curso de Fundamentos del Bhakti Sastri en Guadalajara un fin de semana al mes. La fiesta de Govardhana fue sencilla pero muy bonita en Madrid. Le escribo el dia de la partida de Prabhupada. Cuatro principios y 16 rondas minimo gracias a su misericordia. Mangala Aratic 5 dias a la semana minimo y  alguna vez solo lo he hecho yo ya que Bhadra Vardana a estado malo. Tambien esta por aqui un devoto llamado Vishnu Purana que era de la epoca de Bhagavan. 

He oido que en los libros de Srila Prabhupada hay diferencias de traduccion de los primeros libros a los libros de hoy en dia en la traduccion de España. En el Bhagavad Gita Srila Prabhupada en la introduccion dice que en esta era es suficiente con el B.G. .

 Perdone por escribirle un poco Tarde. Mis mejores deseos para usted.

Su aspirante a poder servirle BHakta Jose de Madrid

HpS -- jaya!   Muy bien oir de Vd.  MUCHAS gracias.   Leyendo todo.  Aun que esta solo a veces somos juntos con Acharyas y Krsna!!!    Estamose en Vndavana   ya correiendo para bano todo y mangala arati   son las 2.48AM.   Mas noticias.  Esta bien.  Va a ver el resulto!!!   Reverencias a Jaga mohan y pide el tambien escriviendo!!

Hare Krsna my very dear Gurudeva:

AGTSP,pamho

I am very very happy I am having like I do not know how to say it jaja

we have a very nice group of discussing Srila Prabhupada's books Gunamanjari dd, valentina silva from chile they are very nice I get along with them. I suggested that it could be really nice if we join each sunday after our Bhakti vaibhava class and read together Srila prab hupada's books.... Gunamanjari like Nectar of devotion so we read part of the preface has some comments but I suggested to go to the NOI first and they will memorize the first verse for next meeting I liked it very much the words come from my heart I told them pastimes and also give them advices I feel really good thanks a lot Gurudeva for all your inspiration ....

This is my little preaching for U, I got the inspiration from M Murti murti she is like a Guru madre jayyyy so nice it is like being with Srila Prabhupada the whole time and she spends more time with us the matajis jeje I feel so nice :) 

thanks again

 HpS - ASA ..   Jaya!!!!!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva I am really worried about one mataji who is pujari she is young she is 17 years old she became devotee by the age of 14 she is really nice she used to do sankirtan deity worship almost all the week, and she has her bhakti sastri degree she was my student but her family problems her father is an alcoholic.. she lives alone because her father is not helpful...due to she was young many devotees become interested in her and well she had some misunderstanding and the matajis started to gossip about her well she was not completely innocent but all the things were in the subtle plane .

well now she has a boyfriend he is not devotee.. he respects his believes but all the devotees do not talk to her they looked at her like she was degradated..that she is like a monster... she does not want to continue doing her service because people look bad at her... she used to wake up for mangal arti....nice rounds... nice sankirtan and now she finds support in her boyfriend because he is the only one who takes care of her I tried to call her, animate her but it is just me she does not feel so good and the devotee critized her ohh that makes me so mad because they just forget all the things that she did they just see the bad things and I do not know what to do I told her please do not leave at least one day attend the deity other wise we are going to loose U for ever U are not matture enough U need to have some relationship with the temple.....

she says that she feels kanishta adhikari because she just has a relationship with the deity I recommended her for second initiaton when JPS was here in peru but all the devotees started to talked bad about her and I guess that if she had took second initation she may feel now with more commitment she is very responsible well gurudeva please tell me what to say to her maybe some message from your very good self would help her

thanks in advance

thanks for your inspiration

your eternal servant

HpS -  Just chant Hare Krsna and Krsna will tell you how to help her!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

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

Thank you for your reply. It is nice to hear that you consider I'm doing well. I wish I could agree... It's one of the only things keeping me steady. Really 

As time goes on.. more and more drama is developing. Starting to get really really bad. All the Bhaktas are realizing that we are going to have to take matters into our own hands. We made a pack that if one doesn't get up for Mongala Aratic by 415 he gets a cup of water in his bed from the rest of the Bhaktas who are awake! :) I'm looking forward to it. All in good spirit, with love. Nothing malicious.  

Japa rounds this morning.. only two before Mongala Aratic. The rest done before ten. I'm not sure if Harivilasa does all his rounds by then..I've never chanted the pre-aratic japa with him, So I can't say I know for sure. All the devotees are missing his presence here. He is the preferred authority among the Bhaktas. 

I originally decided to stay here until March, then return to Utah. Unfortunately all the other Bhaktas are talking about leaving. They are having a hard time with what is going on here these days. Much tension. I'm the only one who has made a commitment to stay. I'm hoping I can get some of these guys to make the same commitment, but it is doubtful. But now I'm not sure I want to go back to Utah. 

I'm not sure about ASA. I haven't taken the time to read up on it, so I'm unfamiliar with the program. I just want the personal association and guidance of my Gurudeva. 

Your servant,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS - Jaya!   AGTSP   pamho   We jsut gotta run to the temple  its 2.42AM.    The mornong program is personal association with Prabhuapda.  M. Arati, kirtana, Japa SB then he is in yuour heart and will give association!
