Letters to the editor

Pamho AgtSP.

Espero que se encuentre bien. Perdone por favor el retraso en escribirle asi como todas las ofensas cometidas. Terminamos el Ratha Yatra con algun sobresalto de Baladeva, que salto dos veces del carro y al regresar los devotos se metieron  por la acera en vez de por la carretera con lo cual Sus Señorias pasaron a duras penas entre un arbol, carteles de las tiendas y motos aparcadas. Fue muy lindo y estatico. Despues disfrutamos de la asociacion de Yadunandana Swami Maharaja, que impartio un seminario de Bhakti lata bija que fue muy corto pero intenso. En el templo seguimos con el programa hasta agosto despues se cierra y me voy a Guadalajara Nueva Vrajamandala a terminar de estudiar el curso de introduccion al Bhakti Yoga. Estas semanas han sido un poco intensas ya que estaba ensayando para dar un concierto el dia 30 con el grupo Jagannath con Jagamohana pero hubo una pequeña discusion por tener gustos diferentes entre el guitarrista y yo (falta de arreglos armonia y demasiado rock burdo) y lo deje; lo cual me ha quitado tambien un poco de energia, llamaron a otro bajista y al final nadie queria hacerlo, por lo tanto voy hoy a retomar los ensayos al menos para cubrir el concierto. Ha sido otra prueba de Krishna. Mis rondas siguen siendo 17 minimo alguna vez canto mas. 5 Dias a la semana Mangala Aratic. 4 principios gracias a su Misericordia sin causa. Dentro de poco espero tener un ebook espero leer un  poco mas. Aunque ahora tengo que concentrarme en el cuso. Sigo en contacto con aquel guitarrista que estaba intentando hacer el grupo pero solo quedamos una vez para tocar un poco y lo hemos dejado hasta Septiembre. Disculpe mis faltas de ortografia. (Sobre todo los acentos).Gracias por su asociacion, que Krishna siempre lo proteja.

Aspirante a poder servirle algun dia. Bhakta José Madrid

HpS - Hare Krsna, Jose!     TlgaSP    Mas tarde vale que nunca.  Increible del Senor Balarama!!!!!!       Increible.      Espero, seguro que esta bien!!!       Trabajando con devotos en Sankirtana ciertamente es un asunto de humor.  A veces no podemos trabajar juntos, intimos.  No problems. Podemos trabajar juntos para la bienestar del ISKCON de Srila Prabhupada por distancia.
Entonces, todo aparece muy bien.
Solamente tiene que adelantar.
La meta es renovar su relacion intima con Krsna!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!
All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai!!!
All glories to you!!!

Please acept my humple obeisances.

Dear Guru Maharaja:

                                Hi, how are you?? how is your health? I hope everything go well.

                            I'm so fine!!! at this days im improving! I chant better japa, I was read the "reformatory of japa" (by Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami) and it help me a lot! But well i keep striving more and more... I'm fixed on my 4 rounds, each day I try to get more. And 4 principles. I keep taking care about my dears Nitay Gaura Nataraja and Srila Prabhupada. I keep going on about the program wich distribute bhoga, for devotees, The things going so well each month 9 familys recives a box with food :D
I get my college!!! Now I'm Graduate!! :)
Everything keep on, I ocurred to do games to little devotees, something like gurukula, but for programs about made in houses, because sometimes the childs distract, and I think about exploit that time adequately and on this way they have a definitely advance, learning with games. What do you think about that?

ASA-  AGTSP   paoho.  YeaH!   gAMES ARE  a super way to learn.   Improvisation for the Theater by Viola Spolin is a super super book on teaching acting.   It has 200 games!

And too, record the books of Srila Prabhupada in audio, on this way the people can hear it, everywhere. What do you think?? It's aproppriate? I have to talk to someone before??

ASA- Well is already done in English by Amala bhakta Das, but Spanish I dont think so!   I guess for private use its O.K. but for distrivution then you have to get copy rights from the BBTOnly one question more, I hearing your classes in Chile, and in one of thats you tell about Chant the mantra in 3 secc, because on this way everything go at the same time to brain. My question is, beyond meditate in Krishna, What is more important, the pronnunciation or the time?? I think about im not prepared to chant even in 10 secc... <img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/06.gif" title="" /> I'm ignorant about chant.

ASA- Best thing is to chant with sincere meaning, " Oh, Hara please pray to Rama and Krsna to engage us in Their service"!   Should pronounce clearly, so you can fix your mind on the Mantra.  3-seconds is one way to chant.  It's from this book by Ernst Poppel, "Mindworks".   If an event occurs within three seconds you mind takes it as one event.  Then you are conscious of the whole Maha-mantra as one iconic entity, not a linear event.  I guess that means being free from mental speculation.   But of course, there is more than just the speed, so chant so you think of Krsna Rama and Hara as a RESULT of your Japa!Thanks for you time, sorry for many questions...

ASA- Kool questions.  That youfor your association!Trying to serve you, rendered to your loto feets for all the lives I have left to live...

Hare Krishna!
Mismas humildes reverencias!

Querido Guru Maharaja me alegra poder comunicarme con Ud. Nuevamente, ha pasado ya un año de mi iniciacion y tambien desde que nos vimos. Tambien muchas novedades y cambios acerca de mi vida. Finalmente me separe quien fue mi mujer se fue de mi casa tambien hace un año, mis hijos se quedaron aqui, conmigo. He vivido una situacion de mucho dolor y sufrimiento, dado que romper una familia para mi es algo muy significativo. Sobre todo por las vivencias y valores que genera. He sostenido a mis hijos animicamente solo desde mi sadhana, o sea con habitos cotidianos referentes al ejemplo. Me sostuvo sus palabras en la conversacion que tuvimos antes de mi iniciacion recuerda. Ud. Me dijo que yo era un devoto de Krishna y que el se ocupaba personalmente de sus devotos, tambien me dijo que lo que me sucediera era siempre para mejor. Bueno eso es lo que me ha sostenido y me sostiene todos los días. Cuando canto mis dieciseis rondas invoco su recuerdo desde allí. He aceptado mi dolor como una forma de purificacion, por eso lo tolero y convivo con él. Se lo ofrezco al Señor como parte de mi servicio. Frente a mis hijos me inspiro en usted desde el ejemplo, algo que me cuesta cultivar. He respetado los cuatro principios lo más esmeradamente posible, he descubierto que ahora son parte de mi integridad. Estoy tambien leyendo como siempre, ahora el SB canto ocho, me hace muy feliz. Estoy desarrollando mucho acerca del arte, estoy como art-dealers en dos galerias y tambien empece a dirigir teatro de vuelta. Todo lo referente al arte lo desarrollo como parte de mi servicio al Señor y gracias a eso me sostengo en lo animico y economicamente.
Bueno Guru Maharaja espero poder viajar y poder contar con su auspiciosa presencia. Desde aqui lo saluda y desea buena asociasion su sirviente
Yadupuri das.
Hare Krishna!
Todas las glorias a Sri Gouranga Nitai!

HpS - ASA ---  Jaya! Senor Yadupuri et al.   TlgaSP!        Pfamrh.  Aqui somos Tom Brown, Mono-cito!    HpSwami queda abajo con los devotos para cantar Japa y recitar los 10-ofensas etc.  Era casi bueno Mangala-arati.   Mangala arati es un arte fuerte.  Pero si ejecuta bien, todo su dia es "mangala", auspicioso. Nuestras relaciones con otros sin Krsna son guarantizado ser inestable (dukhalayam asasvatam). Va a salir, es cierto, y va a volver, es cierto!    Ja!     Ja!
Relaciones temporario entre almas eternos.
Entonces, siempre trata entender como un gran doctor la situacion de sus familiares, companeros de trabajo y suplica la medecina apropriado para su nivel.

Claro es super relacionar arte con Krsna.  Vastu es arquitectura y Alankara es ornamentacion.     Super super super su esfuerza: Familia, arte, drama!     Es el Shakti de Srila Prabhupada!
Esperamos verse en Santiago si es posible.
No mas noticias de la Jamila de su iniciacion.
Esperamos.
O.K.       5.22AM   R(5)     -     Japa!>>>>

Hare Krsna Guru Deva!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Please Guru Maharaja, accept our obeisance at your feet.
We are happy to hear that you are in chile.
we are looking your classes thanks to the wonderful internet.
Our family is doing Ok, our mother still in Vrindavan, she is making nice advanced.
So many nice friends, association that help us.
We where thinking and we remember so many times you hearing talking about Lalita Madhava, so we got interested and start reading it.
we want to make a play of it, maybe for Radhastami?

Guru Maharaja,
we are so happy that our friends are coming to Vrindavan.... that we want to help them, with everything we can.
I wanted to ask if you could tell devotees that want to come for Kartik to contact me, so I can help them all.
We got a huge house for all of them, that comes with a separeted space for Brahmacaris :)
I wanted to ask you if you have a place already, because if you don't we would like to help you with that.
We want to do something out of this life.

Our doughter's name is Madhumati Manjari, she is a very sweet soul. 

We want to get kicked hard, kick it really good, so we can get out of this stupidity. Once I read from one of our teachers, Paulo Freire, that when you recognize your weekness, then, and just then you can make something to defeat it... so I say out loud and with all my heart, I HAVE PROBLEMS CHANTING MY JAPA!!! AND I DON'T WANT TO NOT CHANT.... I want to do something about it and I need help!!! SOMETIMES I ACT AS A SAHAJIYA.

Gurudeva, please, forgive my offenses, they are not intentional. but I still think I need a bump in my head.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Traying to serve, Cakori Radha Devi dasi.

we got 2kg of bananas for the monkeys, from you... they where really happy and didn't attack us :)

p.s: we don't want to be like Putana :(

HpS    -    A-G-T-S-P-!    pamho.
O.K.    -     3AM.    If you looked at the previous letters and the DCT then you can see that we started with 9-rounds left from our 25/day from yesterday!  Now we've finished those.  Chant three rounds. Read a letter.  Your's is nice, but yes, can be nicer. Have to realize that Krsna is capable of killing all the demons that come to Vrndavana.
Even when Krsna and Balarama were manifestly present in Vrndavana there were demos coming like Kesi, in the form of a carnivorous horse and their loud roaring was so terrifying that the girls had miscarriages and lost their babies!
So, we have to have intense experience that Krsna and Balarama can protect us, even in Vrndavana, especially in Vrndavana.  That comes from some regular Sadhana for us, no?       16-rounds are nourishment for Madhumati.   You can actually feel that as you chant.  She is not an ordinary person, so Maya is out to contaminate her!   It is a very grave responsibility to protect her so she can grow up and do wonderful things for society.
What happened to Radha-carana devi dasi!!?
More news from Vraja!
We get back to our Japa!
Join us.   We can't do everything, but first priority for the welfare of all is 16-nice rounds minimum!!!

Dear Gurudeva

Pamho

AgtSP

AgtSG&G

Lot of time without write you, but Im still alive, I was working hard with my workmates because now in my home place is the "big festival of running bulls" and we try to finish as much work as soon as posible to go out of the town all those days of pure and absolute madness. Now Im with my wife and her parents in the south of France until day 22 of july, we are near to the shore in the Landes, a very quiet places 100mts far from the beach. Every morning I wake up and I go to walk for the long beach chanting hare krsna and thinking in this beautifull pictures of Srila Prabhupad walking with His Disciples, giving us all those pearls of teaching. I'd leave my deities in home, and from here I offer them fruits every morning, and all that I can offer them without meat, because my parents in law arent vegetarians sadly...

My sister in law take a travel through south america and she let us her golden retriever puppy, the case is, She is very atracted by Lord Shiva, and Her puppy have this name, I told her Lord Shiva is male, and the puppy is female, but finaly the puppy have the name. Is this properly Gurudeva? the animals can have a demigod name or this is offensive? I think in my ignorance is better than "puffy or duffy" or whatever name can get a pet, isnt it?

Dear Gurudeva I hope can I meet you when you come to Spain in Guadalajara. I realize that is amazing chant hare krsna and chant gayatri mantras with the ocean sound in the background.

your humble and ignorant servant

Prananth das

HpS - ASA ----   AGTSP!!!!      paoho.   2.30AM  -  R(-3/25)     From the other letters I think you can see our situation.   Your letter is another super report!    A pure devotee lives in this world as a reflection of Vaikuntha.    Krsna says that among bodies of water He is the ocean, He is the fragrance of the earth, light of the sun, among purifyers the wind.  All those things to appreciate while you walk!!!
Let us render some direct service!

Go back home.

Back to Godhead!

I guess it is O.K. for a dog to be named Siva Dasi and then engage her in some service!    Dogs naturally are house guards no?   Children guards.   We also hope to see you in Spain.   We want to work some more on the weekend in Barcelona with the Light of the Bhagavata symposium.   It such a super chance to introduce so many people to K.C!!!
O.K.  More Japa!    Maybe you could organize regular symposium in your local town on CULTIVATION OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT: Light of the Bhagavata.
