Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

I am writing on this special day of your Sri Vyasa puja.

HpS//ASA - Thank you!! Just looking at your letter Title we are reminded of a book by one respected author titled, "Moon Beams from a Larger Madness". We will now read these words from the moon.

As I said in the latino program.

First I am so grateful to Srila Prabhupada for His Iskcon for our ISkcon.

I have also realized that even our health is better just by following the 4 principles.

Even if we are not in a good consciousness we are devotees and still we have some knowledge.

Thinking about Trivikram d and your constant question on the whatsapp group that we share with Parasurama. Does anybody know why he did it? All of us have problems that we think that our problems are the worst.

Sometimes I feel kind of lost, but never alone. I know that I can call Palika for instance and she will be there as I will be there for her as well.

HpS - We have to hand Monkey and Piggy some tissue to wipe their eyes!

That is Iskcon, that is what you taught us.

To help each other, to treat each other like family.

Everything is association.

So my offering to You.

Is to take care of my spiritual life and life in general so that if any devotee friend or not needs me I will be prepare and ready to help.

I am not a pure devotee or anything even close to that, but I guess that my 21 years of been initiated will be worthy.

I have heard Sriman Radhika Raman's offering, he presented my thoughts and feelings as well, I presume that most devotees have been touched and identified with his offering. I can not even say the words. What am I going to do when you were not present. But then I realized that I am with parents more than ever after their departure. They will also live in my heart as well as you.

HpS - 🙂 You are in the Recovery Room, the operation is over!! Wake up! This is just a movie that we are all watching. 😃 Your father, mother, me, others are all sitting in the theater with Srila Prabhupada, like morons, eating popcorn and thinking that we are the characters on the screen. 😆

Every time you chant Hare Krsna, you are making progress.

HK//HK// KK HH.... . . HR/HR/RR HH!!!! We just made eternal progress.

Yes, separation is natural.

Friend has gone for boat trip to China, 1932, but we will wake up. Must wake up!!! Krsna needs us... 😠

I am deeply grateful for all the years of your association all the trips, gifts, lectures, pictures, everything.

I hope that we can come and visit you soon, maybe in dreams I dream about you and devotees from time to time, and is nice. As you once said dreams with the spiritual master are not ordinary.

I am going to pay attention to your calendar

Thank you for your Moon Beams from a Larger Madness. Only when you become a madman (woe man) like Lord Caitanya can you understand Srimad Bhagavatam.

Become Guru of your circle of aquaintances.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and Devotees;

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to Guru and Gauranga.

On Sunday, January 12, 2025, at 7.30am, Houston time, we will continue reading chapter 10~~ The Lord's Return to Jagannatha Puri; we will start reading from verses 10.138 onwards, we will cover about 60 verses.

Thank you to H. G. Nikunja Bihari Prabhu for doing nice translation for January 5th class. Maharaja, thank you for engaging everyone in reading systematically books of Srila Prabhupada.

Upendra dasa

HpS//ASA -- Thank you all for this nice trip back 500 years in time every Sunday!!!

Back to Puri back to Gaura's stay there for several decades, no?????

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

One who approaches the Supreme Lord to render devotional service but who is proud of his personality, envious of others or vengeful is in the mode of anger. He thinks that he is the best devotee. from SB 3.29.8 purport.

I understand this to mean that this devotee thinks that his understanding of sastra (SP’s instructions), his application of sastra, and his ideas of how to preach, cook, dress, etc. are better than some other devotees' consideration of the same points. 

That understanding/perspective/ideology may be good for him (and for some of the other people), but he forces down the throat it to all others. 

Addition to all this is when there are (seemingly) different instructions regarding the same topic.

Is my understanding right?

HpS / AgtSP. I think it is true of ourselves to some extent and others in ISKCON etc more or less, but I think there are other aspects to the persons Srila Prabhupada describes. Is very universal, and specific, point, no?

Daksa.

Sukra acharya.

If yes, …

This is the challenge in our bhakti circles. Of course, it is also a challenge in a whole world. But here I am talking about the obstacle in relations within the devotee community. 

Now… Could we (me included) try to put into focus, that this kind of ideology is bhakti in the gunas (as verses in this chapter of SB discuss)? That is better than no bhakti at all. However, if not being conscious of the setback, how will we (myself) deal with it adequately and advance?

This is a(nother) simple thought about a complex subject.

Would you like to comment?

Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya Das

HpS - Thank you. Is very nice topic, as usual. Astro Hungarian nature??

It is a topic repeatedly addressed in our Bhagavata philosophy. it is right there from the beginning in noi. especially texts 4, 5, 6 and then again in text 10, karmibhya parito harih....

so much advice there but basic is love god, preach to innocent, befriend devotees, avoid demons. then i take this to mean avoiding the demon, raja and tamas service, in devotees and befriending the service in goodness and pure goodness.

O.K.

We bow our head down to regular devotees, but we don't offer dandavats.

Kanistha devotees we fold our hands and offer respects, but don't discuss Temple affairs in great detail with them.

O.K.??????

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept mu humble obeisances. [Or as you invented, Pamho :) ]

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and you!

I was always proud as I though I had some intelligence, but after meeting you and your disciples, fool like me becoming humbled and realizing I was proud without a reason.

Your association is always elevating and inspires to be more absorbed in devotional service and to become real devotee.

You always manifest humility which every devotee should develop. 

After last visit of you in Spain I realized you are most important person in my life. I am very honored to get your association. You are most dear person to me.

Thank you for tolerating me. I hope to be able to please you and always be engaged in Srila Prabhupada's mission.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

HpS//ASA - AgtSP. We are devil 👹 but Srila Prabhupada is keep us engaged on a leash! You are like 65%, 75%... perfect? Overcome the obstacles, from many lifetimes!! Become great paramahamsa for Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON by his mercy and the mercy of Lord Nityananda!

Thank you.

Thank you all.

Best wishes for family and Yatra.

HpS/ASA Calendar

2025 January 4

(250104)

As expected, we lived through, agtSP, Vyasapuja with many very good results and some wounds. 🙂

Now the prognosis is 10% that we might die with our next breath, but 70% that we will live until Gaura-purnima, Thursday 13th March, camped at ISKCON of Houston with 50% corporal functionality.🐵 🐖🐖🐖

Then, what about visiting Nashville/Middle Tennessee for an extended Gaura-purnima festival?

HpS/ASA would buy tickets now for ourselves and at least one travel partner round trip from Texas.

• Vanderbilt?
• Yoga Soul?
• Radha Natabara?
• Murari Sevaka?
• Duck River?
• et al?

Daily we are getting pretty good integration with Radha Nila-madhava's service schedule. Turning focus to more Japa, maybe 25-rounds/day, drawing, limited, but important dialogs, consultations. Shyana-sanga, 8PM, with Sri Sri Radha Natabara.

Weekly aiming at presenting SB class in Temple on Tuesday, Thursday and maybe Saturday; Sunday online with Upendra Das.

One, maybe two, outside programs a week.

O.K?

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna.

🙂

Be 😊 happy.

Govinda. Govinda. Govinda Hari.

With Prabhupada Goloka we can see.
