Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I was staying with m.Yugala Kishor and b.Natalia in Shell temple this last month for December Marathon.
We were doing nice book distribution on the buses.
Natalia told me about your Monkey's dairy, and that is posible to get a copy. So I humbly request if it posible to get one also!

Why I deserve it?
Basically I don't deserve it, but because I wish to clean my heart, I think I need a copy to help me with his hard task!

Maharaja you are for me a wonderful inspiration! I would like to receive your blessings to be always connected to the service of book distribution.

Your servant,
B.Maria
(If it will be posible, maybe you can send Natalia's copy and mine togheter)

All glories to Sri Sri Gouranga Nityananda

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my most humble obeisance

Hare Krishna Maharaja. My name is Ignacio González, I´m from Viña del mar and I wrote to you like 4 weeks ago to ask you if you could take me as your aspirant disciple. In that occasion a send a link with my picture so you can recognize me, but it was wrong so I send it again nw:http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1665223&l=ebe4ab45eb&id=1196475199 (i´m the one who is holding your bag).

The last time that I wrote, you answer me that I should read the text in jayarama.us about the guru tattva. After doing this I have been trying to see all the different commitments and the responsibilities that include taking the first initiation. I have been thinking about this for the last four weeks, and I realized that the only decision that I have to take is if a want to take this life, because is not a matter of capacity because Krishna, Srila Prabhupada and yourself will give me the capacity to follow your steps. But making the decision, through my free will, of living my life to achieve KC is the only thing that is in me. So in conclusion I want to follow your steps, I want to give my life to your mission and I´m willing to take the responsibility of this commitment.

Still chanting my 16 round a day and following the 4 principles…

Hopping serve you

HpS -  Jaya!   AGTSP!!!!   pamho.    We are just servants of Srila Prabhupada.   So, many nice devotees in Chile.  Read Prabhupada's books.  Continue following his instructions and then from that perspective take advantage of all the Brahmanas and nice devotee association that you have there.  We can't do too much.  We are just one fellow.  We will look at the link!!

Pamho, tlgSP

Dear Master, for your mercy everything is okay. Principles, round, heart.
I  am Bhakta Paul of Parikrama, of Spain.
By connecting You give me, Your association, protection of the Holy Names is effective, warm and familiar. It is a pleasure.
I hope You are in the best of conditions. I hope Sri-Sri Radha Krsnacandra bless You for being a source of protection, mercy and love.

If in Vrndavana there is not Santa Rasa, Who are the party "immobile or inert? Jivas performing that function by a desire to serve Krsna, serve and not to admire? ...
Santa-rasa is the intermediate step between Service and desire to be one with the Supreme? ...
If there is not Santa-Rasa in Vraja, no mixture, confirming that which Tatastha Sakti, "our Source" is Vraja-prema, Krsna-Prema only? ...
If I remember correctly, in the Caitanya-caritamrta, there is a Lila where Caitanya Mahaprabhu could not "convert " to Krsna Bhakta one Rama-Bhakta, and Lord Krsna Caitanya comment to be left, becouse He is a Nitya-Rama-Bhakta.
Is the Lord Rama, Krishna in Mathura and Dwaraka, pure love mixed? ... if we are Vraja-Bhaktas pure, his love was so pure that there was no mixture to Rama, Krishna? , like some humor in Vrndavana ...??
If there are too many questions can you answer me in installments.
Your feet in my head.

HpS -  TlgaSP   paoho.  Thank you your letter!!  Running to the airport for Spain!     If you look in the last few texts of Upadesamrta you will see that Krsna's flute, garlands in Vrndavana are all in Santa rasa! 

My dear Maharaja,

Dandavat pranams. Ram Ram.

Sri Ram is the King of Ayodhya. He rules the whole earth. The kingdom of Ayodhya is nothing great for Him as the infinite universes emanate from His pores. To those who have realized His such infinite greatness, these description of Ram as the Lord of Ayodhya may appear highly disparaging.

Actually, the result of understanding the greatness of Ram as indicated above is to develop fondness and attraction to Ram's pastimes as the Lord of Ayodhya. Even though Ram is the Lord of infinite universes, the devotees sing His glories as the Lord of Ayodhya.

In the same way, Lord protects and maintains everyone. Still, we sing the glories of the protection of Prahlad by Narsimha. Lord loves everyone. Still, we sing the glories of Ram's love towards His devotees etc..

All these glories even make Ram more and more sweeter.

Your servant,

Gaurav  

HpS -  JAYA!!!!!    AGTSP   pamho!! 

My dear Maharaja,

Dandavat pranams. Ram Ram.

I am fallen person. I can only write what I see as truth. But also, I cannot accept something as truth which I don't see as truth.

Does Krishna protect and maintain only devotees? Does He protect and maintain common people? The truth is that KRISHNA PROTECTS AND MAINTAINS EVERYONE EQUALLY. He is doing that right now and maintaining so many animals etc.  Krishna gives breath to everyone. Isn't that His maintenance? If Krishna protects and maintains everyone, then what is special about devotee? Actually, there is nothing special about us. The difference between surrendered deovotee and non-devotee is that the devotee accepts that Krishna maintains and protects him and non-devotee cannot see Krishna's maintenance and protection. That is the difference. Both are maintained and both are protected. We don't have to do anything special to get Krishna's protection and maintenance. He is already doing that. We just have to accept it. ....

Gaurava.

HpS  -  AGTSP   pamho.   We are in our last few hours in Peru and the pressure is INTENSE>   We have almos contiupous chest pains.    We cant read all of your letter now, but the first part seems very nice.   If there are any details that Jiva Gosvami and others see as different then it seems that they would be answered in Canto Seven:

 King Parīkṣit inquired: My dear brāhmaṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, being everyone's well-wisher, is equal and extremely dear to everyone. How, then, did He become partial like a common man for the sake of Indra and thus kill Indra's enemies? How can a person equal to everyone be partial to some and inimical toward others?

HpSwami   See you soon!      OUr calendar is in the Jounal!

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances.   All glories to Srila Prabhupada!  Reading in DTC..., you mention that several people commented  you are too mental? How is that? What do they mean by that expression?    I realized that I can push myself over the limits, then (sometimes)  the headache kicks in (as Satsvarupa Maharaja says) and I can then barely do anything for a day or two, and headache can continue for more days (but with less intensity). Then I tried to have some more rest and realized that work, reading, japa is all clearer, I do not feel sleepy every time I sit somewhere. Generally it looks better to not be in chronic sleep deprivation or tired. However, have to say that headaches do not come in every incidence of tiredness or sleep deprivation.

HpS '    Jaya!   AGTSP    pamho.    We are the day after Vyasa puja in Peru.  10,000 devotees here and a lot pressure to try to relate to everyone properly.   We are servants of everyone.   It is like your comment.  We use our brains to much.   Better to chant Hare Krsna.

I want to listen to your work on Windows Movie Maker. Surely will benefit from that. Please, where are you uploading the materials?

HpS -   So far no good result.  Maybe we will understand the technique.   Right now we are concentration on the DTCs

Weird working schedule is still going on, however I can (in weird hours (late night) read and write, like now)). Looking for some other place if it comes up.

HpS -  It is chronic problem for almost everyone in Kali yuga.  Even the president of the United States.  ALways chant Hare Krsna and dance with Krsna, no?
