Letters to the editor

My dear Maharaja,

Dandavat pranams. The user of this website is not informed when you respond to the letter.  So, the user of this website does know about your response. They have to continuously visit this website. That makes the usage of this website quite inconvinient. Secondly, it requires creation of account and login. That is good. But it should have option to post letter with name and email without login. That way it is easy to post letters. That may result in posting of fake emails. But people can be trusted with honesty. That is least we can expect from spiritual oriented people.

Many people might not be comfortable sharing their questions to people in public. In that case, the letter should not be posted for public and email should be sent directly to the user.

Your servant,

GM

HpS -  AGTSP   paoho.  Yes, we have also seen these problems.  We are trying to improve things. 

Haw!    Haw!    We are realizing that we are embeciles and that communicating is difficult, but we are trying to improve.  I guess we need a feature that collets the writers address so that a notice can be sent to him when we answer the letter.

Idea is to have the anwers bigger so all can see them.

And...  and ...  And.. 

Hare Krishna!

Pfamhr tlgsp!

Querido GM me comunique con Nicasio de Mar del Plata y me dio esta direccion, mucha es mi alegria el poder comunicarme con ud. dado que desde mi iniciacion que no lo hacia, le cuento que estoy muy bien, que las cosas que debian suceder sucedieron, me separe, mi mujer finalmente se fue, y no dejo de recordar lo que me dijo acerca de eso, gracias a su misericordia porque me encuentro muy bien y tambien mi familia, que quedo conmigo. Acerca de mi servicio lo he mejorado, ahora canto las rondas con un gusto diferente, he comenzado con una devota hacer un programa de distribucion de prassadam, en hogares para ancianos, mas que hogares por el estado de los  ancianos parecen "hogeras". Ud me digo que con cantar dieciseis buenas rondas y honrar el prassadam que con eso se llega, bueno lo estoy sirviendo en eso y espero poder satisfacerlo en eso y alguna otra cosa que ud. desee. 

Querido GM queria decirle que mi agradecimiento a Ud, y mi servicio es eterno, por haberme dado la misericordia de la iniciacion, es algo que lo llevare conmigo, en mi corazon toda mi eterna y larga vida.

Espero poder reunirme con Ud. en diciembre en Mar del Plata, tengo ganas de tener su santa asociacion, estoy complicado con las ventas, pero como me dijo, que yo soy un devoto de  Krishna y siempre vela por nosotros.

Esperando reunirme le deseo buena asociacion, de su sirviente 

Yadupuri das.

Hare Ramaªªª

ASA '   AGTSP   paoho  Please excuse the delay in answering.  we are trying to improve.  honestly we were thinking about you and have been worried not to hear from you.

But now things seem O.K.  ultimately we are all with Krsna and we don't lose contact with anyone, wife, or anyone. 

Yes!!!   we hope to see you in Argentina in just a few days!

You Prasadam distribution sounds great!

   All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Dear Maharaja, please accept my most respectful obeisances
 
Rodrigo Hernandez here from Santiago, Chile. Two hours ago I arrived back since Valparaiso. Since Friday I was in that city. I was invited to read poetry at a major international event called "Universal Forum of Cultures." We were at the University of Playa Ancha. I had to share with three important surrealist poets from Cuba, Argentina and Chile. It was a nice experience. There was also time to be alone and think about my spiritual life.
 
I could not write before you because I've been to many existential questions. On one side is my desire to live a spiritual life in ISKCON, serve you and Srila Prabhupada and learn to love Krishna. All this is best for me and makes me very happy.
 
The problem is that sometimes Maya tells to my mind "you are a poet, lives life intensely! Enjoy this world, do not be a fool!". Most of the poets and artists I know are driven by passion and each time there is much passion in me.
 
It is true that I haven’t the good qualities of a Vaishnava monk, but I want to learn to be a devoted servant of Krishna. I want to live my life in Krishna Consciousness, I serve you and Srila Prabhupada, I have my own Vaishnava family (a wife and children for Krishna). However, sometimes appears in my mind that wild side, those crazy desires.
 
Then sometimes comes a struggle between a spiritual life or a life like most poets. It is as if there were two different people inside me. My heart says "You are for Krishna and Guru."
 
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be honest. You are vey important for me.
 
I hope you can forgive all my offenses,
Your humble servant,
Bhakta Rodrigo Hernandez Piceros

HpS -  AGTSP   pamho.   Thank you for nice letter and I think many people have same questions.

Actors are often involved in these very intense material, artistic lives also.

But look at the Vaisnava poets, like Krsna das Kaviraja in Caitanya caritamrta and Suka deva Goswami in SB,  Vyasadeva and the songs of Narottama Das and Bhaktivinode.

Ooof.  Here is poetry that takes us beyond the wild side.

There are no wilder lovers that Radha and Krsna!!!

But it is also the most chaste of all  relations.

Try to touch this mystery with your poetry.

You don't have to give up anything.  Just see it all in perspective!

What of Narottama's songs?

HAribol!!,

please accept my humble obeisances,

all glories to srila prabhupada,

all glories to you.

This fool will never leave ISKCON too.

We have Confirmation of the jew, sufi, catholic and Christian community for the program at mar delplata on December. Now we need your suggestions for the topics. We thought one day about names and forms of the supreme lord, one day ways of approaching the supreme lord, one day point of views about abortion, death penalty, homosexuality, etc, one day for sastra and one day for saintly persons.

We have no doubt, that serving you is serving Srila Prabhupada. We start to feel the power of guru vani and guru seva deep in our hearts.

Struggling so much with material energy, but no fear, we have you as a bona fide guide and sadhu sanga. Fuel for this marathon of KC life. Mahabhagavta PM ki jay!!

Damodar vrata, 4 principles strictly.  Please give me the benediction for accomplish this for another 100 more months.

Grihastha life ok, wife chanting 2 rounds a day, manu attending to Sunday school at the loft, he already learned the maha mantra, pay obeisances to the panca tattva and Srila Prabhupada and how to apply tilak in forehead. Little Benjamin goes to sleep hearing his mother chanting the maha mantra.

16 rounds ok.

According to married life in KC Prabhu Sankirtanisvara adviced me to be patient, Krsna will send a solution for everything, so although we feel grief for no being able to be initiated at this moment we take shelter at Srila Prabhupada`s words in the purport of BG 3.31. We are very aware that everything you say is based on true love toward us fools for the sake of  helping us to succeed in our spiritual lifes.

Trying to become a humble servant.

Bhakta Nicasio.

HpS - AGTSP   pamho  SUper super super!   Yes, the themes seem fine.  We've used them before.    I would suggest using the picture,  text, from the Lilght of the Bhagavata with the Frog as the basic promotion and theme for the dialogs.

Basis is to share books with each other!

Send itenarary stuff like this too here and also

"Dhanvantaa soyi jaaniye taake Ram naam dhan hoi."

If you had accumulated the name of Ram in your life time, then that
treasure would go with you. Worship and devotion (Bhajan) are done
by the Self, also name recitation (Naam Japa), contemplation on God
(bhagwad chintan), good intentions and sentiments (Bhaavas) are all
accumulated treasures that go with you. If you have improved your
nature, your qualities, then that too will go with you, however the
worldly things that you have accumulated will not go with you. The
more purified your nature is, the more your work is completed. The
extent of worship and rememberance of God that you have done and
accumulated, that is the treasure that will go with you. This
treasure is so incredibly special, and unlike worldly treasure it
cannot be stolen by any thief or robber. ....

HpS - ASA - jaya!!   Thank you.  Sorry we can't read more details now.  We are rushing just after this Cantuta Seminar.  It was super success.  Two more university departments want programs and we are supposed to submit a proposal for developing accredited programs to the President's office!

My dear Maharaja,

Danadavat pranams. Ram Ram.

I talked with Syamsundara Prabhu 5-6 months ago and he mentioned that he will send the letter of recommendation. I was waiting to hear from you about it. Looks like he forgot about it.  Sadhana can surely be improved much more.

Your servant,

GM

HpS -  Jaya!  AGTSP   pamho.   Are you getting up for Brahma-muhurta!!?
