Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna! AGTSP, AGTSSGN, PAMHO!

Dear Gurudev,

I am glad that you arrived safely to Houston and then Mexico, I hope his health continues to be good.

I wanted to tell you that I'm planning to travel to see you again at MTY on March 23 and then go to CDMX for Ramanavami, we have pending the photograph with my new black belt haha, as well as if Krishna wants, enter the fire.

HpS/ASA - 👍

I'm very grateful for everything I experienced in Nueva Vrajamandala, Maharaja Yadunanda and the devotees were very kind, it was a very inspiring experience. I will definitely go again.

HpS - They were very inspired by your gravity and practical service attitude.

After arriving in Chile, I traveled directly to work so I am writing to you from the desert, but before that I went to the Santiago temple to present my obeisances to Srila Prabhupada and deliver the letter and gifts you sent.

See you soon, always grateful for your association.

Your eternal servant, Parasurama Avatar Das. Santiago-Chile.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya! It seems that you are following the path of Bhisma Deva or some one like him!!

See you soon...

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Regarding Panca Tattva 's pizzería, la pizzería di Francesco, I went there once and it was closed, then the second time I wanted to go it was raining a lot so I couldn't go. Prabhu is fine, happy with his new project. I was happy to meet him.

Today I gave SB class here at New Bahulavan, Maharaja Bhakti Sundar and Prabhu Aravinda were among the audience. I was nervous and afraid of maryada viatykrama offense. We were discussing taking siksa from the next generation of devotees as Srila Prabhupada's disciples are not so far from leaving this world.

Although your instructions are quite vivid in my heart I'm trying to develop a relationship with this generation of devotees such as Navina Nirada and Aravinda Prabhu who I think will be leading the movement in the next years.

Also I feel good for having good and cooperative relations with my godbrothers, Adi Yajña Prabhu who is my dear neighbour, Abhiram Thakur from Perú, Jagad Guru from Chile, Jayanta from Spain, Hayagriva avatar from India and also with Dhruvananda from Australia. I hope to keep building loving relations with many more godbrothers and devotees.

Thank you Gurudev for your example and patience all over this years. I am super lucky for being able to have your personal association again.

Trying to serve you,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Panch-tattva Das reminds us of Vedavyasa. 🙂

He was on the verge of taking Sannyasa but has decided to open the indirect program of preaching through a restaurant instead.

Is so nice comparing and contrasting our lives with these Acharyas in the SB.

Hare Krishna Amado Gurudeva,

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

En cuanto a la pizzería de Panca Tattva, la pizzería di Francesco, fui una vez y estaba cerrada, luego la segunda vez que quise ir estaba lloviendo mucho, así que no pude ir. Prabhu está bien, feliz con su nuevo proyecto. Me puso feliz verlo.

Hoy di clase de SB aquí en New Bahulavan, Maharaja Bhakti Sundar y Prabhu Aravinda estaban entre la audiencia. Estaba nervioso y temeroso de la ofensa de maryada viatykrama. Estábamos discutiendo tomar siksa de la próxima generación de devotos ya que los discípulos de Srila Prabhupada no están tan lejos de dejar éste mundo.

Aunque sus instrucciones están bastante vívidas en mi corazón, estoy tratando de desarrollar una relación con esta generación de devotos como Navina Nirada y Aravinda Prabhu, quienes creo que liderarán el movimiento en los próximos años. También me siento bien por tener buenas relaciones de cooperación con mis hermanos espirituales, Adi Yajña Prabhu, mi querido vecino, Abhiram Thakur de Perú, Jagad Guru de Chile, Jayanta de España, Hayagriva avatar de India y también con Dhruvananda de Australia. Espero seguir construyendo relaciones amorosas con muchos más hermanos espirituales y devotos.

Gracias Gurudev por su ejemplo y paciencia durante todos estos años. Soy súper afortunado de poder volver a contar con su asociación personal.

tratando de servirlo,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

We are already in Mexico with Julieta and Marga. Now at New Bahulavan in Cueramaro. Such a nice project. We were impressed by the tremendous mandir they built. Prabhu Trilokanath told me that he showed you the project many years ago. It would be great if you can come and visit here while you are in Mexico. Devotees can make arrangements for plane tickets and accommodation. Prabhu Aravinda told me that he would like to receive you.

We were also at Iskcon cdmx where we had a beautiful darshan of Radha Madan Gopal. Then at Tepoztlan where we interviewed a naturopathic doctor for our ayurveda podcast. It was a great experience, and then at Mahahual which is a little fishermen village at the caribbean sea next to Belize.

We realized what SP said, that our centers are oasis in the Kali yuga desert. Tomorrow we fly to Monterrey for more Sadhu Sanga, Seva and Krisna katha.

Don't know wether you will be able to read this letter before you leave to México.

See you in 1 day,

At your service,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Ps: Also a photo of Radha Govinda Chandra from Spain

Hare Krishna Amado Gurudeva,

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

Ya estamos en México con Julieta y Marga. Ahora en Nueva Bahulavan en Cueramaro. Que lindo proyecto. Nos impresionó el tremendo mandir que construyeron. Prabhu Trilokanath me dijo que le mostró el proyecto hace muchos años. Sería genial si pudiera venir y visitar aquí mientras está en México. Los devotos pueden hacer arreglos para boletos de avión y alojamiento. Prabhu Aravinda me dijo que le gustaría recibirlo.

También estuvimos en Iskcon cdmx donde tuvimos un hermoso darshan de Radha Madan Gopal. Luego en Tepoztlán, donde entrevistamos a un médico naturópata para nuestro podcast de ayurveda. Fue una gran experiencia, y luego en Mahahual, que es un pequeño pueblo de pescadores en el mar Caribe al lado de Belice.

Nos dimos cuenta de lo que dijo SP, que nuestros centros son oasis en el desierto de Kali yuga. Mañana volamos a Monterrey por más Sadhu Sanga, Seva y Krisna katha.

No sé si podrá leer esta carta antes de partir a México.

Nos vemos en 1 día,

A su servicio,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Yes, we were in Cueramara in th every beginning and then later.

We cannot travel much any more, physically.

Hope to offer our Sankirtan through other media.

Your reports are like the eyes of and eagle for all of us.

How are Benjamin and (?) Abbaya???

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

At you requested I'm sending again my VP offering.

By conjugation of the planets, we had two vyasa puja celebrations the current year, January 3rd and today. JayaRama!!

Gurudeva, you said in one lecture that you see yourself as those unnamed Vaisnavas among the generations of Sampradaya Acaryas. I only read about the glories, devotion and activities of those Acaryas, but i had the fortune to witness in person your unalloyed surrender to Srila Prabhupada and his mission of preaching in pascatya desa tarine.

HpS - We feel that we are still working to separate our greed from our service. There is some alloyed there.

Thank you so much Gurudeva for visiting Buenos Aires and for that glorious lecture about 'How cats can see ghost' which caught my attention to your preaching style. With your humble character you showed me in perspective the potency of Our Guruparampara. They gave us everything. Let's pray that we can continue with their mission.

Dandavat pranams,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna. It is so nice to see you here in New Govardhana. So much opportunity for work.

If we can breath we can chant, and then if we can think we can chant and then, even as we only are covered by Buddhi, understanding, perspective, we can chant, but then the chanting starts to come from the uncovered soul!

All Glories to Radhe Krishna.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and all his beloved disciples.

Most honorable Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

I have being watching your wonderfull lectures and hearing about your glories, pastimes and devotional service at NIOS.

Please allow me to introduce myself, this is Guillermo (Guimo), servant of your servants: Govinda, Lalita, Anandamaya, Gadadhar and their sweet associates from the Bhakti Yoga community in Monterrey, México. I am currently helping them with university programs accordingly with your instructions.

All my life, I have being hankering and wandering for “Something Else”, trying my best, but sometimes behaving like a crazy monkey.

I feel embraced in religious environments, from a to z. But I am vastly and profoundley moved by the movement for the Krishna Conciousness since late 2020.

I started counting on Tulsi beads two years ago, and this year I am finally steadily doing sixteen rounds, daily.

I am reading Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam regularly. After many months of the most wonderful soul journey trough time and space, I am currently reading tenth Canto...

On the academic fields, I have studied Western Literature at UdeM, and earned the Summa Cum Laude award; also post graduate studies on Sociology of Eating, and some courses on Plant Based Nutrition.

I like fruits, ants, the so called master plants, and have recurring dreams with all kinds of tortoises.

Enthusiasm bewilders me day by day as I feel blessed to have Monterrey and Montemorelos devotees association in El Retiro Trascendental ASA. This is the ultimate refugee for the soul!

I would like to continue serving.

Thank you Maharaja!

Sincerely: Your developing servant.

Guillermo Sepúlveda.

HpS - AgtSP! Of course, we have been in contact physically here the least few days in New Govardhana.

We talked about your good self with Adhoksaja Das and others, and on his comments, Gadadhara's and Guru-prasada Swami's approval we are looking forward to your initiation on Sunday.

Hari Bolo!

Hari Bolo!

We were very enlivened by your symposium on spiritual diet. It confirmed some of our experiences and gave us some new understanding.

We always tended toward eating big bowls of fruit, Prasadam, but felt tht maybe that was greedy, but now we see it is natural.

Hope you can keep regular Japa and get a study partner for regular study of Srila Prabhupada's books.

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO:

I hope this meets You in very good health and happy

So sorry for not writing before. I AM very entangled in My material life. I will see your very goodself on March 5th. I humbly beg for your blessings for My trip

Besides, I humbly request to have the opportunity to talk to You

Looking forward to seeing You

Your eternal servant

CMDD

HpS - Well, we saw you on March 5th. It is now March 9th. We were very glad to hear that "Waves of Devotion" is translated. We can see to publication and distribution now. Guess we should talk to Visual Services, ArtDas about formating, including graphs etc.

We did not have much chance to talk, but a little. It is so nice to hear that your sister is successful in here professional carreer and Ulyses is about to set of on his Odyssey with a happy face.
