Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva,

PAMHO, AGTSP.

It has been your causeless mercy that His Holiness gave us Hari-Nama Diksha. We are not worthy of being called your disciple, but due to your purity there is some attachment towards you.

HpS - AgtSP! !

By grace of Guru Parampara, we were fortunate to meet His Grace Partha Pratim Das, disciple of His Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami. He stayed in Mayapur for a long time and also decorated Radha Madhava many times.

He stays in Varanasi, and is doing PhD on Sat-Sandarbha from BHU. He came to our home and office in Varanasi, and could easily understand our mental, uncivilised situation. He visited our parents and our in-laws in Delhi specially. He has met you, and he has firm faith in your mercy towards us and believes our past and present conditioning is nothing in front of your mercy.

His Whatsapp Number is +91-7xxx , and email address is ppxxx.

HpS - Should we write to him? 😃 How can we serve him?

We sent Kapi dhvaj to Dr. Samaresh by post, but it had not reached him. So we have sent him the online link on his Whatsapp message, and he has acknowledge to have read it. We will again send KD by different post.

HpS/ASA - Thank you so many! If he gets it by post, think it will 9-times easier for him to read it. Thank you!

Your Mexico Senate address was covered by BTG India in Hindi.

HpS - Govinda sundara Devi Dasi and Ranchor Das did 90% of the work to arrange that. We were like a trick dog that proudly dig the trick we were taught during the show!

We are trying our insincere /sincere efforts to be worthy be called at least shadow of your disciple.

HpS - Follow us following Srila Prabhupada is easy. That is sixteen nthuseastic rounds, 4-prinsipals strictly. We can make claim to nthuseastic rounds because we are up for FES. That is our discipline.

It is all His Divine Grace, but we try to add our little bit.

Bowing Down,

Hayagriva-Avatar Das

ASA - Leaping up, Browne and White. 🐒. . . 🐷

More news soon.

Rama's Bow

Uncle Gismo - Bachelor T. Browne responds:

Thaaaaank you! I stumbled into PraveenMohan's channel yesterday and looked at some of his work. I watched the Rama's Bow to 4.18. It is interesting, but he seems to be stuck in the perspective of trying to analyze everything in terms of Kali yuga atmosphere.

Like a cockroach in New York in the Winter, trying to understand how things we in the Fall.

Even from our little application of this Yoga we can see that just by learning to purify the body by chanting and dancing to Srila Prabhupada's tune, we start to develop such internal strengths.

Eg. Maybe we can grow piezoelectric crystals in our pineal glands.

Then you could . . .

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Today I want to ask you about your understanding regarding the golden age, the 10,000 years of Krishna consciousness in Kali Yuga.

A while ago I read this quote:

The Brahma-vaivarta Purana, an ancient scripture, describes a conversation between Lord Sri Krishna and Ganga Devi that occurred in Dvaraka. Speaking on behalf of all the sacred rivers, Ganga Devi expressed all her fear of the coming of Kali-yuga (the age of rifts) and the imminent departure of the Lord back to the spiritual world. She said, “Oh Lord, we can see that Your pastimes are ending and people are becoming more and more materialistic! You have been very merciful to us, however, after Your departure, all the sinners of Kali-yuga will come to bathe in our waters and we will dry up, taken over by sinful reactions."

  Smiling, Lord Krishna replied, “Be patient…in five thousand years, My mantra-upasaka (worshipper of the holy name) will appear in this world and spread the chanting of My holy name everywhere. Not only in Bharata-varsa (India) but all over the world people will chant Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Through this chanting, the entire world will become Hari-bhakta, devotee of Lord Hari. And since the devotees of Lord Hari are very pure, all those who come in contact with those devotees will be purified from sinful reactions. Such pure devotees will visit Bharata-varsa and purify it from all sinful reactions by bathing in its holy waters. That period of chanting Hare Krishna in the whole world will last for ten thousand years."

The question arose in me as to who this mantra-upasaka was. Naturally my answer was Lord Caitanya, but it did not exactly agree with Krishna's dating of 5,000 years from the time.

HpS - Don't know the document, translator or context. Hmmm. Yet, think Sivarama Swami reespects this citation. Seems like Lord Caitanya and then it has a section glorifying His Sena pati as doin the rest of the work in India and outside of India.

That matches Srila Prabhupada very well.

I kept researching until I thought of asking a devotee who knows this topic in detail.

Prabhu Hare Krishna from Mexico is a scholar who has thoroughly studied Vedic culture. After watching a video in which he shares the prophecies of the Kali Yuga, I asked him about the text that I quoted at the beginning and he replied:

Regarding the disappearance of Krishna, the most accurate calculation was made by the late friend Dr. Narahari Achar with the best astronomy programs, when the Naksachatra of the star Roghini was on the 8th day of the waning moon of the month of Sravana August. -Sept. Prabhupada in his purports says that it was September. This was in the year 3167 B.C. 

In 1896 the year 5000 was fulfilled after the departure of Krishna. Kali yuga began on February 18, 13102 B.C.

So according to astrological calculations, the mantra-upasaka may be Srila Prabhupada, since he was born in 1896 and with this it would be understood that the golden age began with his birth, only 127 years ago.

What do you think about this reflection?

Thank you very much Gurudeva

HpS - We don't really know. Bh. Siddhanta Sarasvati was a GIGANTIC astronomer and from him through Srila Prabhupada we don't have any exact details.

Have you read this text and purport:

Hope this year of the 10,000 is very good year for you to pay your debts to anyone.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🏻

HpS/ASA - 😍

In response to your questions from the previous report..

HpS: What is style correction?

As the translation is being done by five different devotees, it results differ greatly from each other, which is why we need a job of syntax to homologate the text in Spanish in the best possible way.

The style correction eliminates grammatical errors and adjusts the text to the regulations.

Syntax inconsistencies, concordance errors, correlation of verb tenses, errors in the use of prepositions, etc. are corrected.

It is done to improve the flow and cohesion of a text.

HpS - Yes, I think Kesava Bharati Swami did this for Brhat bhagavata amrta of Gopi pranadahna. People don't realize how many people may be involved in gfetting the finished product.

HpS: Gandharva das is not working with you?

No Gurudeva, he told me that he was not able to do this service anymore. A few days ago, his wife Indira Sakti dd told me that at this time he is very, very busy in his job.

But the good news, Gurudeva are that Abhirama Thakura prabhu offered to help us in this process in various ways.

We will meet soon in order to make the work plan.

Any suggestion from you is welcome, Gurudeva.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Your aspiring servant:

Mitravinda dd.

HpS - Our only impression is that it seems to us that when this book is available in Spanish it will create a big step forward for all the Rupanugas in the Hispanic world.

Thank you!!!

Jay, HK, Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP!

How r u? Where are you now?

In response to your question I’m currently in Argentina, never been to Mexico unluckily.

I’ve been thinking about your point of view in relation to the position of the Jivatma in the spiritual realm and whether if can or can’t fall,

my very narrow mind firstly didn’t let me think quite openly about your statements,

but after a while, and thanks to Krishna, I began considering what you said.

I’m very sorry if I sound very persistent with this topic, the thing is that I need to understand truths, well in order to feel comfortable with myself and with Krishna.

So what I understood from what you told me is that there isn’t possibility of the soul falling accidentally from Vaikuntha or Goloka, but due to it’s free will he/she can choose to abandon Krishna’s company, did I get it right??

HpS/ASA

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/5/8/26/

"Due to the fruitive results of his past deeds, he fell down from mystic yoga, austerity and worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead"

"The conclusion must be that Mahārāja Bharata purposefully became over-addicted to the deer and neglected his spiritual advancement."

So I’ve heard from Bhakisundar Goswami that liberated souls are Acyuta, the defintion of that word I know is one that doesn’t fall from his position and is infalible,

So my question is, why perfected souls might change from being perfect to being imperfect, wouldn’t that be a fault in perfection, not letting that quality express fully?

HpS/ASA - Srila Prabhupada comments that maybe we were this or that but now we are neither. We are in Maya. By following the process we see that we are becoming liberated from coffee, tea, tobacco, arrogance, greed for fame...

In our present state these things are not completely clear, but as we come out of the fog, they become clear.

Yes the soul is Acyuta.

Bh. Vinode Thakura gives an example of a child becoming absorbed in the mirror reflection of the moon, but that does not mean that it is not being still held by the affectionate mother. We become fallen in our little absorption in Maya, but that does not mean that we are not Acyuta at heart. That is how we heard him cited to explain this point today.

😃

We can go on, and on, and on with logical arguments, but basic principal is that we have free will in every circumstance, and if we chose to go into Maya we can.

Of course, we become frightened when we hear this because we want to enjoy independently (Maya), so we don't want to consider that we have responsibility for our actions.

It is scary, but it also means that we can do things that even Krsna can't predict.

We are little Gods.

We can create little realities, and invite Krsna to join our little play!

Well thank you for your support always, hope I’m not bothering with these questions.

please accept my obeisances!

HK!

Federico :)

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 U????

We are doing ok. Trying to keep a good sadhana (16R, 4.30AM, 4P). Worshipping our deities before leaving for work. Then reading SB everyday.

Things at school are pretty good. This week we celebrate Winter Solstice and The feast of Saint John the Baptist. We work on the image of a new beginning and that the fire of a campfire burns all the bad things that we want to change in ourselves. The students write in a letter everything bad that they want to change and offer it to the fire. The older grade (11th) chant in Sanskrit and Spanish the invocation to Agni. It is such a beautiful ceremony.

ASA - 😲👍👍👍

Last week my niece broke her grain fast. It was a simple but very significant ceremony.

we thanks a lot all you support and patience
