Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP

How can I get rid of pride of austerities or not smoking or getting up early ?

HpS - By considering that only by Srila Prabhupada's austerity have we been able to follow the regulative principles.

Left to our own free will we would be trying to enjoy all manner of demonic delights.

How can I engage pride for KC ?

ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/14/140/

🦍 ??? Useful?

Is "being proud and being" egoistic according to language used by Prabhupada?

how are pride and presitge related ?

can your grace elaborate on these or mention some sections of Shastra to read.

regards,

Harsh

HpS - Think we can be very proud that we have done something nice for Krsna. That we did some real sacrifice for His satisfaction, but acknowledging that we are like little children and need a lot of help to make our little offers useful.

Small but with help, very real!

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Muchas gracias por su santa asociación.

Respecto a la conexión online por la aparición y celebración de Vyasa-puja de Locana das Ṭhākura, y SS Hanumatpresaka Swami y el parampara. También habrá un humor festivo en Occidente por el nacimiento de Jesús esos días.

Envío los cálculos de tiempos con el reciente cambio, regresamos al horario normal. Este año anunciaron la eliminación del horario de verano.

24 de Diciembre:

5:30 pm de India

23 de Diciembre:

6:00 am Ciudad de México

7:00 am Lima

Muchas gracias por su misericordia Gurumaharaja.

Alguna ofrenda de bhoga en particular para el parampara?

HpS - Thank you for the information about the exact timings!

Menu for Vyasapuja we would request no Soya, Toffu etc.

Traditional Mexican dishes are usually wonderful.

Arroz, frijoles, tortillas de maiz.... tamales, tostadas etc.

O.K.?

Por otro lado, el templo ha empezado la planeación de la celebración majestuosa del 50 aniversario de la instalación de las Deidades, parece ser que se realizará justamente durante su visita a Ciudad de México. Estaremos enviando mayores informes conforme haya avances.

HpS - Super! Jaya Sri Rama!

También leímos que existe la posibilidad de volver a visitar México en Agosto del 2023.

¡Es una posibilidad maravillosa!

Talves podamos lograr que esa visita se centre más cerca de Ciudad de México en esa ocasión, por ahora tratamos de aprovechar lo mejor posible los 6 días de visita en el mes de Marzo para beneficio de todos y con sus bendiciones podemos continuar en Agosto.

Sus Señorías Radha Madana Gopal son especialmente poderosas, con Ellas he realizado que realmente Krsna es quien controla y mantiene el universo entero, desde nuestro entendimiento a Isvara podemos ir avanzando poco a poco.

Muchas gracias Gurumaharaja.

Por favor disculpe nuestras ofensas.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd

HpS - Tan pronto que es posible es importante dejar nuestras mascaras, disfraces, y salir de esta cine, y volver a ayudar con la oganizacion de los festivales de Radha-Krsna in Goloka, no?

Es bueno si eso es nuestra ultima respiracion del aire material, no?

Hare Krishna

Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humbled obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I'm really sorry Gurudeva, in a long time I didn’t write you, is just, specially the last years, I fealt that I didnt make a really important service for the sankirtan, nothing dign for your service Gurudeva. But when I read you in twitter and see you in the holy dham, I think that at least I could write you my actual condition in my life, is not to much but is where I have found a safe place to stay in Krishna consciousness.

HpS - ASA - Thank you Hare Krsna! Please summarize the rest of the letter in a smaller content and send again.

We want to hear it but our ability is small.

Please!

This year I was absorted in my family, caring my parents, my husband and my pregnancy. Was a year where I tried to see Sri Radha and Krsna, taking care of persons who are close to me and take care of me too. And in the daily, Cleaning thinking in Krsna, cooking thinking in Krsna, buying thinking in Krsna, and of cours, just trying because my mind is not my friend all the time. 

Im chanting with not constance the rounds, just chant when I want or I needed, and this is the problem, I don't chant when I don't want, and that would have real devotion. But at least, I kept the pleasure for chanting the holy name, and for my condition is very incredible for me, always is my only refuge, and Im thanking for that, although, I always feel afraid of losing it for my inconstance and offenses. I trying at least to listen kirtans when im working or making things at home. I'm reading regularly of Srimati Radharani and BG and adoration to my deities.

About realizations this year, In all my pregnancy we receive a lot of mercy and blessing from devotees, family and friends, was like fealt the mercy from Sri Radha and Krsna near to us. My son born September 20 and his name is Ricardo Baladev, is healthy and so adorable. Im absolutely in shoked about how stronger is the love for a son, I believe absolute that be mother help me so much to feel more respect about the love for god and the spiritual life, so now I need to make better my sadhana if I really what to back to God with your refuge, because now I am so far. 

Thank you Gurudeva for the inspiration, your service to Srila Prabhupada, your example is my restart when I am lost the enthusiast, and if I didn’t have it, I don’t know where would I be. Happy for your soon Vyasa puja. Congratulations Gurudeva. I'm waiting for your visit to Mexico City the next year, I hope to be there with my family. 

Thank you Gurudeva for all. Please forgive all my offenses. Sri Krsna always protect you. Hare Krishna.

Hare Krisha Querido Maharaja todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada 🌺

!! Acepte mis humildes reverencias espero que este muy bien. Escribo para reportar mis actividades en el templo de Santiago, Chile y tambien para responder las preguntas que me realizo.

ASA - Jaya! Puede editar un poco mas pequeno, intenso, y reinviar!!

Gracias!

🐷🐷🐷

Comenzare por responder sus preguntas mis guias en mi preceso espiritual en el templo han sido la Madre Guru Govinda, quien me ha apoyado desde conoci la conscienca de Krishna, Madre Priya Sakhi me ha dado su asociacion y me ha guiado en diferentes procesos sobretodo en todos los que tienen que ver con la educación y realización de cursos, la Madre Sruti priya quien tambien me ha dado su asocacion y siempre me esta inspirando con su conocimiento y tambien podria mencionar a la Madre Maha Alandini y la Madre Gita Govinda quienes tambien me han apoyado en todo lo que respecta a realización de servicio y avance espiritual. Todas ellas me han apoyado e inspirado para que pueda realizar servicio en el moviento y para que tambien me eduque para ser una buena devota.

Por el momento no estoy realizando psicotarapia mi desarrollo laboral ha ido de la mano con lo social desarrollando ejecución de Proyectos sociales para la atención de personas en situación de calle. En este momento trabajo como Coordinadora de un Proyecto social nuevo en Chile que se llama "Vivienda primero" y consiste en entregar viviendas a personas en situación de calle por 3 años y desde ahí comenzar la interveción psicosocial para trabajar diferentes problematicas, y asi mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas. Por el momento me encuentro con bastante trabajo administrativo en temas financieros, guiando las intervenciones que realizan mis compañeros y visitando a los participantes del Proyecto para evaluar salud mental y derivar a los dispositivos pertimentes para que reciban la atención que requieren. El proximo año me gustaria tomar pacientes de manera particular para trabajar problematicas en adicciones que es en lo que tengo más experiencia.

En cuanto a mi servicio en el templo continuo ayudando en la Fiesta de Srila Prabhupada, estoy recibiendo inducción para hacer guirnaldas de flores y tambien tengo bastante servicio por el festival que se realizara este 03 de diciembre Ratha Yatra estoy ayudando con las manualidades para hacer diferentes adornos, participaré bailando en la procesión, estaré pintando caritas a los niños que participen y hare un marco decorado con el Señor Jaganath para que las personas que asistan se puedan tomar una bonita fotografia y tener un lindo recuerdo.

Espero que krishna le de mucha salud para seguir disfrutando de sus maravillosas clases.

Me despido reiterando mi adminiración hacia usted.

Mis humildes reverencias Hare Krishna !!🙏

Hare Krishna His Devine Grace Hanumatpresake Swami

All glories to srilia Prabhupada

All glories to the vishnavas

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Let me first say is what a Honor to have this privilege of being able to have your association and follow your glorious activities that inspire and encourage everyone.

Trying to keep up with all that materializes in your programs leaves me wondering how much more productive I need to be.

Myself I'm still serving in San Diego and now have the good fortune of dressing the deity's, I'm most fortunate in this regards.

I love the intamacy of serving there lordships.

I also do fruit offerings, back up services.puja to Tulsi, Prabhupada and noon Arti and fill in on alter when needed.

I'm the Gardener which is my therapy and in southern California something is always blooming.

I'm thinking of ashram life how important it is to always have that shelter.most important in the nectar of instruction.

My consideration is I'm basically a dead man walking and the fear of being a burden is a concern of mine.there's no room in the front ashram and the other is for vary young Brahmacaris.

Los Angeles has nice facilities and awesome devotees.i just love the natural beauty of San Diego.

Either way it's Krsnas call and I'm seeing what his wishes are.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! First, it is great to ge these detailed reports. Very great. Like nectar. Yet, please fill in the formal report by clicking the "Report" button on the option ribbon above.

Second, what about working with the authorities and starting another B'cari Ashrama. Temple could contribute part of the cost. It could be you and one other person first. Then even six unrelated people in an apartment, house near the Temple?

Gainesville Temple has similar arrangment.

I follow your calendar and see you'll be back in Radha kund in March. I'd love to go there and serve while I'm still able to.

HpS - Now the Calendar is:

November 30th - January 9th = Near Radha-kunda.

9 - 24 = GEV, Imphal, Silchar, Agartala (Bombay then Northeast India).

24 - 22 February = Spain

22 - March 4 = Houston

4 - 3 April = Mexico (Monterrey, Mexico City)

3 - ??? = Houston, Nashville(?), August Mexico (??), India (???)

2024 November Go to Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan. (???)

Not sure how you handle everyone's conflicts it'd be a daunting task. I try not being that needy person and perfer giving so I'll spare you your time and gave you a glimpse of where I'm at.and wish I was doing more.

If there's any insights on any aspect of my life that need attention please direct me what needs to be done.

Eternally you're servant

HpS///ASA- Your words are nectar.

Take the helm, sailor! 😁

Again, go to the Report link above and fill in the short form there also!
