Letters to the editor

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble Obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Kapi Dvaja family ki Jay!

I left China for three months. There are some difficulties by government forcing us to leave from there. We are trying to get student visa to India hoping to see you in Kartik in Vrindavan. Past 3 years Chinese are unable to get visa and small hope is now there to get student visa.

I was in Malaysia Pengnan temple for a while doing seva in kitchen. My husband was invited by New Govardhan devotees in Australia for book distribution. We made all arrangements for that but somehow ended up on Bali Indonesia.

Prabhuji got to talk to nama hattas that they have and devotees expressed their desire that he stays and helps out here which he complied. Last year in Bali, government banned public activities and made a bad name to devotees.

TP here is however favorable to prabhus proposal of doing books to foreigners only and books from BBT Mumbai are already on the way. Plenty of "spiritual" towns here with weekly new crowd coming for spiritual tourism. Please give us your blessings and mercy on us to do some service for Prabhupada.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna!!! 👍 Maybe Krsna one Prince.

Maharaja, me and my husband, we always talk about you ,we are eager to listen to your classes. On the another day, we listened your class from Houston and Melbourne. We keep doing our daily reading. My husband made a reading list for me. There are so many wonderful books in Krsna Consciousness. I am trying to do my best with my limited English and limited English surrounding devotees. Prabhuji is determined so I follow his tail.

I bow down to your lotus feet and serve you with my heart.

ASA - Thank you. We shall prepare.

This went late, don't know why?

Maharaj, PAMHO AGTSP!

I felt like a mother can’t hurt her child even in self-defence, I couldn’t file FIR on my husband despite green signal from my spiritual and material guardians. So I hired a lawyer and found that his untruthful abuse affidavit will not affect me much.

What a story Krsna is writing. It feels maybe his gf needs my money, home, all the things I bought in my home, my husband and a child from him (facing infertility issues at ~40) more than me, now that she’s left her own husband.

Regarding being exiled, I feel I should tolerate. But, Im not sure if I also shouldn’t strive to recover my husband on the path of dharma (solely for duty’s sake, nothing can be expected of him. I can do this by filing FIR on gf for extramarital affair, he will not be able to openly support her and it will create dissension between them. Or inform her parents that she’s creating problems in a marriage and she will never get marriage here.) He’s been thinking about engagement with her.

It is due to his vikarmic tendencies that always brought out my disciplinarian side (why I was avoiding this marriage). If someone met Mandodari on an ordinary day with Ravan, maybe she would be a little wary with him too, though Ravana may seem innocent.

My father asked him to give me access to my home as a bare minimum, but he refused saying first file seperation etc and I can give some money, (gives no estimate what to speak of alimony as you guided to pin him down with to make him accountable and thus help him become more self-controlled). Money is his noose. Now until he is court ordered to start paying alimony, he won’t even try to improve current immoral position.

Or should I just completely leave them to their painful karma 🥹🙏 and focus on something sublime instead of this vibhatsa situation. Please guide 🙏.

If Rama entertained Surupnakha, what should have Sita’s relatives done with her?

your servant,

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. As usual, American Spring can hit us with 175% disability from hayfever.

Adhibautica klesa, adhidaivika klesa - distress caused by others, d. caused by the demigods ie. Spring Devi.

They are all less than disturbances caused by death.

We have to take them as a chance learn to chant HK/HR in all circumstances.

Can you chant HK//HR withe vocal apparatus of a dog, and me with it of a frog?

Ribit, Ribit.

[?} Ritvik, Ritvik???

Very bad situation, I hold my breath, and sure enough lot of energy in the body still.

Use it to serve Krsna.

Arjuna killed Bhisma as service to Krsna.

Try to help your husband, that's what Mandodhari did, no?

But in proportion to whatever other service Krsna wants from you.

Stay in touch with Abhiseka Das, in proportion.

Develope your dance, cinema, projects with partners as much as Krsna allows.

Keep a copy of a letter from lawyer showing why you made decision not to file.

Hari Bolo.

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurudeva!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances. (PAOHO)

As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

Hare Krishna.

How are YOU?

We are ok. Our sadhana (16R, 4.30AM, 4P) is going well. Worshipping our deities before leaving for work. Then reading SB everyday.

My appointment at the hospital was ok. My doctor said that the kidneys (transplanted 12 years ago) will stop working very soon. So it seems I will back to hemodialysis again soon. They don't know when, they just said it can happen anytime. I am still processing it, because it would change everything. However, We keep in mind that everything Krsna does for us is perfect!

Things at school are ok. I will travel with one of my groups to Oxapampa. we will do agricultural work and social work in one community.

Your aspirant servants

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. We are so happy with your continuous, super Sattvik association.

Think your family must be gravitating to the most elevated aspects of Peruvian society.

How often is dialysis?

You are Montessori or Waldorf????

Do they have online resources that you use?????

Of course current world situation is so crazy that any of us could die of anything at any moment.

KRSNA does miracles as He wants.

asa(e), vad, sannyasa, stri dharma, conversations

Bhaktin Priya Texted HpSwami:

"I would like to tell you about my experience today going to an ISKCON temple in which there was an attempt to seriously extort me - arranged by a devotee calling me “Maraji” but misrepresenting the cost of fuel x10. You can give me a call."

ASA 🐵:

Thank you for your text message. Bhakta T. Brown here. We are HpSwami, Anjana Suta Academy (ASA), Secretary. He said to explain that someone in Sannyasa Ashrama, like himself, has got these rules to follow.

I guess it is like your good self. You have to follow rules as a lawyer.

He said that he tried to explain this before but guess he missed the mark.

Very nice explanation of ths Sannyasa Dharma, Rules, is in Srila Prabhupada's BG. Starts at the following link and then especially goes through the next two paragraphs.

Is it clear? ?? 😕

Someone like yourself can do so, so much needed service in ISKCON.

". . . .forbidden to have any intimate relationship with a woman."

It goes on to explain this as even having conversations in a "secluded place". Of course, this also means individual telephone calls in a rigorous sense.

It is not to just avoid the tricks of Maya in causing gross fall downs. It is also to avoid becoming habitualed to an informal ambience in our dealings with the opposite sex.

Is O.K.?

If you like we can put you in touch with very nice Grhasta family in Houston who can answer a lot of these questions, and give practical help in catching Con Artists.

Please answer in this Blog 🐸. At least five more people will find this dialog personally useful.

Thank you.

Go ahead. Go back home, back to Godhead.
