Letters to the editor

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y al movimiento de Sankirtan.

Gurudeva lamento mucho el no tener un alto nivel de comunicación con usted directamente a través del blog , mi naturaleza es de mucho trabajo y atención al negocio, estamos siguiendo su Sankirtan escuchando mensajes de nuestros hermanos espirituales, personalmente estamos trabajando como servir mejor.

En Monterrey tenemos buena comunicación con las principales Universidades y espacios culturales, nuestro esfuerzo lo alineamos con su próxima visita para agendar fechas y preparar una buena propuesta de predica.

La familia es nuestro principal servicio, Dios bendice, mi esposa es la paciencia en persona.

Actualmente gracias al equipo de colaboradores devotos en la ciudad tenemos un centro cultural de estudio de Bhagavad Gita todos los domingos con buena asistencia, el restaurante y hotel es una gran forma de acercar a las personas a la conciencia de Krishna de una forma positiva , la ubicación es muy buena muchas personas paseando los fines de semana, ambiente cultural y muchos museos en la zona.

Nuestro principal interés es servir es su próxima visita , mi principal comunicación es con madre Asta Sakhi y mi esposa Anandamaya dd. estoy comunicando detalles para su próxima visita pero hay confusión por cambios en su itinerario y comunicación.

El proyecto de la comunidad rural esta en una excelente ubicación a 60 km de la ciudad con autopistas cercana para visitantes, contamos con 4 casas habilitadas para recibir devotos así como también ya tenemos 2 domos geodésicos para camping , terminamos la cocina industrial y estamos generando resultados con equipo de dos devotos que están entusiastas y también realizamos programa de lectura y japa.

Madre Govinda promodini nos envía mensajes de noticias en el tour india .

Nos interesa ver con claridad su próxima visita cual es su recomendación, muy bueno la idea de ir a Cdmx. nuestro deseo es seguir su plan. Nuestro interés esta en establecer un programa rural educativo y ocupamos su consejo queremos inaugurar la finca en Gaura Purnima si esta usted presente y de acuerdo en Monterrey (las fechas de Gaura Purnima en nuestro pais es el 6 de Marzo 2023).

Gracias por su tiempo me vi en la tarea de escribirle para tener una mejor perspectiva sobre su próxima visita y buscar hacer los mejores arreglos para su visita a Monterrey.

Le compartimos algunas fotografías de la finca y el huerto.

Su Sirviente Gadadhar Gosai Das

HpS-ASA -- Gracias! TlgaSP!!! Super noticias para todos nosotros.

En una carta parallel hay discusion de calendario con Asta sakhi Devi Dasi.

Podemos comenzar comprar boletos de Houston on Monterrey etc. Manyana, Manyana!!

Ya vamos a gaura arati EN Radha Kunda. Nos juntamos!!

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Muchas gracias por su respuesta. Primeramente informarle que ha sido una gran sorpresa conocer su intención de visitar CDMX en Ramanavami. Porsupuesto parece un gran esfuerzo de su parte que trataremos de reciprocar con los arreglos necesarios.

Actualmente prabhu Vanamali es una de las principales autoridades del templo, hablamos un poco sobre está noticia y expresa gratitud a nombre de la comunidad, le da la bienvenida y se pone a disposición.

Por otro lado la noticia favorece a los devotos que por situaciones laborales podían ir únicamente un par de días a Monterrey.

Surge la propuesta si podría llegar 4 o 5 días antes de Ramanavami?

Primeramente para que Usted pueda viajar con más comodidad de tiempo y consecuentemente más devotos sean beneficiados.

He discutido las posibilidades con los anfitriones de la Finca y expresan que la desicion que UD considere está muy bien. Por el momento no hay visitantes inscritos para el campamento, por lo que estamos a tiempo de hacer los arreglos pertinentes.

Envío las fechas de los festivales y propuesta de iniciaciones.

Marzo 2023

Lunes 6

Festival de Gourpurnima e inauguración de la Finca.

*Se hizo el cambio de fecha de la inauguración considerando la visita a Ciudad de México.

Miércoles 15

Iniciaciones en la Finca.

Viernes 30

Trabajaremos en el desarrollo de los programas de predica.

Muchas gracias Gurumaharaja, un minuto de asociación con un devoto puro nos puede liberar del peligro más grande, perdón por ser ambiciosos. Cada una de las desiciones del vaisnava absorto en la predica bendice al universo, muchas gracias por derramar auspiciosidad en nuestras vidas.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you very much for your reply. First of all, to inform you that it has been a great surprise to learn of your intention to visit CDMX in Ramanavami. Of course it seems like a lot of effort on your part which we will try to reciprocate with the necessary arrangements.

Currently prabhu Vanamali is one of the main authorities of the temple, we talk a little about this news and he expresses gratitude on behalf of the community, welcomes him and makes himself available.

On the other hand, the news favors the devotees who, due to work situations, could only go to Monterrey for a couple of days.

The proposal arises if it could arrive 4 or 5 days before Ramanavami?

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP! Paoho. I don´t know when we should go to Mexico City. Five nights total before fly back to Houston?

Firstly, so that you can travel with more time comfort and consequently more devotees are benefited.

I have discussed the possibilities with the hosts of the Finca and they express that the decision that you consider is very good. At the moment there are no visitors registered for the camp, so we are in time to make the necessary arrangements.

I send the dates of the festivals and proposal of initiations.

March 2023

Monday 6

Gourpurnima Festival and inauguration of the Estate.

*The date of the inauguration was changed considering the visit to Mexico City.

Wednesday 15

Initiations on the farm.

Friday 30

Ramanavami celebration in Mexico City.

We will work on the development of preaching programs.

Thank you very much Gurumaharaja, one minute of association with a pure devotee can free us from the greatest danger, sorry for being ambitious. Each of the decisions of the Vaisnava absorbed in preaching blesses the universe, thank you very much for showering auspiciousness on our lives.

Your eternal would-be servant

Asta sakhi Devi Dasi.

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna! We spent like 2-hours working on the travel at the end of our visit to here in India today [10-24th January].

We bought our Delhi - Bombay ticket and now we are working on the North East tickets.

Next we can work on Mexico, no!

Very nice.

A Cultural Anthropologist WhatsApped us:

"Dear Maharaja,

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

How are you doing?

We are back in Mayapur settling back into a routine.

My wife mentioned to me something about a symposium at Radha Kunda coming up in November.

With her encouragement, I would like to come alone to do some service. Do you have any seva for me? What are the exact dates? I would like to book my tickets.

Your servant

Dhruvānanda Dasa"

Very illuminating to hear from you.

We are getting calmed down in Radha-kunda.

Discussing getting together about Odana Sasti, November 29th, for some work on integrating NIOS work with BRC work.

Bhaktivedanta

Research

Center.

It is also Vyasapuja of B. S. Damodara Swami and H. P. Swami's Sannyasa anniversary.

Now your assigment, should you chose to accept it, is to tell us how NIOS and BRC (and four more affiliates) can expand the Kirtan of Sri Krsna Chaitanya. Who should join this program in Odana Sasti (and days before or after)?

Weigh Ting You Urrr Ree Ply?

Querido Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

¡Todas las glorias al divino Radhakunda y sus residentes!

Siempre con la gratitud hacia su ejemplo de entrega al servicio a Śrī Krsna.

Estuvimos preocupados por su fiebre pero luego vimos que se había calmado con yoga. Que el Señor Nrisimhadeva le proteja.

HpS - We make little mistakes in controlling our movement, schedule, association, diet and our Pitta goes crazy. We are learning how to control it.

I think you know this better than we do.

Respecto a la visita a México, prabhu Gadhadara Gosai y su esposa Ananda maya dd continúan con los arreglos necesarios. Estamos muy agradecidos con ellos.

En una carta anterior mencioné el tema de la fecha de las iniciaciones.

ASA- We talked with Govinda promodini Devi Dasi about the Mexico visit for about an hour yesterday.

We can fix the dates and buy the tickets in the next few days.

Houston to Monterey with no real stop in Mexico D.F. Arrive day or two before Gaura purnima.

Then, if some one wants to develope it we can have Caitanya Cinema Circle: How to make, distribute K. C. films.

Rural Devlopment and Agriculture. This could be in cooperation with local university, school, with certificate.

Other seminars of presentations that devotees like to make.

We can celebrate Rama-navami in Mexico City.

Considerando las propuestas en relación al tema de hospedaje en la Finca, el Miércoles 15 de Marzo de 2023, aparición de Srivas Pandita, resulta ser la mejor fecha para la ceremonia de fuego.

Algunos devotos han estado preguntando sobre la estadía en México así que enviamos la plataforma de registro.

Agradecemos al staff de registro que están apoyando con este servicio (Héctor, Krsna kirtana das, Kumari dd, Karuna Sakti dd) y vuestra servidora tratando de apoyar.

Muchas gracias Gurumaharaja por la oportunidad de ocupar nuestra mente en el servicio a los vaisnavas y la oportunidad de vapuh.

Prontamente varios festivales incluyendo la aparición de SS Bhakti svarupa Damodara Swami y sus 38 Aniversario de sannyasa.

HpS - Si, 29 Novimebre. Esperando muy buen evento aqui en Radha-kunda y reuniones adminisrativas, organizadoras, para NIOS. NIOS Monterey.

ASA - We hope your home, country, becomes Goloka.

All Glories to our lovely Sri Sri Radhika and Krsnacandra!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!

All glories to you!! My de@r Gurudeva!!!

Hare krsna dear Gurudev!!!!!!

I wish you are very well and immensely happy in Sri Vrndavam Dham!, in your wonderful Govinda consciousness.

Happy Kartika month!!!

Radha Damodara ki Jay!!

I had a very strong experience (but I think it was very good for me) On Thursday, September 8, after listening to your symposium, I went to take the bus home without knowing that this bus was going to cause me one of the most horrible experiences I've had in my life and closest to changing my body.

It was around 4 in the afternoon. When the bus was close to home, in a curve, the driver, instead of turning following the road, could not turn and we continued along towards a ravine. Apparently the driver lost the direction of the rudder, (he smelled of alcohol...) and we fell down a descent near the river... if it had not been for a tree with which we collided, maybe I could not write this letter. As the bus collapsed, I thought: My Krsna moment has come. Please make it not hurt so much to remember you. I know Franco will take good care of Gopal. Ok time to go. And so it calmed me down.

ASA - Oooh!

I hope not, but if something similar happens to me, I will try not to breathe and sing the mahamantra, as I heard in your classes, and that way I don't feel the pain)

I remember hearing Krsnaaaa!! It was me who had screamed before we hit a tree. When I woke up I was very conscious and I said: I'm still alive here. My leg, arm and head hurt a lot, all on the left side. I had been hit with the iron bars that separate the driver from the passengers. That day I was very tired and I sat behind him. I had been fasting for half a day by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur, I had only drank water and walked almost all morning. I had been in several places trying to listen to the symposium I was listening to in parts😁 then I went to one last place to finish listening to the symposium.

ASA - Thank you.

When the bus stalled I thought it might explode or catch fire. I tried to get out and happily people came to help us. They opened the window and gave me the hammer to break it. So with three hammer blows, I broke the window and they helped us out. I was conscious of looking for the backpack and the milk that I bought for gopal (I thought how can I think about this when I almost "died") They helped me up to the road and girls came with bleeding teeth, crying, blood on their heads. .and I thought how will I be? I only knew that I could move my legs, even though they hurt, I could walk. And I took these photos to show franco. Others who came wanted to hit the driver. I just thought about getting out of there and walking home (there were about 8 blocks left) and that's what I did. When I arrived and saw Gopal and Franco I thought I was dreaming but it was true, I had come alive to see them. I am recovering from the strong pain in my left leg especially. I was even able to go out to sell walking slowly.

Gurudev, if possible, I would not like the following to be published:

HpS - Awk! We cut it and saved it to the clip board to read in private in the company of a nice male brahmana, but it got lost!

Up to here the non-public part would end. If you want to remove or add something... you can do what you want. I am always at your feet.

I thought that if an accident like this happens to me again, I would really like to hear about it.

This number that I give you now, is used by both Frank and me. He doesn't use a phone number. you use this same number when you want to communicate. Please Gurudev if I am leaving the body before you, I would very much like to hear it: 0054 9 351 356*** (Saved on our cell phone)

It really makes me happy that Krsna has awakened me in this way. A first experience close to leaving the body was when Gopal was 6 months old and the place where we rented caught fire. 2012. Ten years passed and now 2022 this happens to me...2032...?! Another experience was when I arrived at the house and a very strong storm had begun. I ran into the mobile home. As I looked out the window at a giant tree that was in front of the house, I saw that it was falling in front of me and I said: it's going to fall on top of me!! But it fell right next to it very close to the trailer. Fran and gopal were in the mud house. I had never seen a tree fall. A very strong accident happened to Franco recently and now to me too. Ever since we met, whenever something happens to him, it happens to me afterwards and vice versa. Thank you immensely for your valuable time dedicated to reading these lines. Please forgive any offense committed inadvertently in this letter. I am sending you the link of a new video that I published: it is a dance to krsna that I did in 2020. I just really liked the music!! Now that I was home after the accident I had time to edit. It would be my janmastami offering☺. You can see it at: I have downloaded many of his classes that are on facebook thanks to "downloader for facebook." maybe it can be useful to some devotee😀 I tried youtube but they are very heavy and my internet time is very little. We try to download some of its links and some come out as non-existent. We keep trying to follow it as much as we can. Eternally grateful that You are my Guru and longing to be at your feet, at the feet of Sri Sri Radha Govinda and his loving gopis!!! Her Maid Attempt:

Radha Japa Prati Jalpa Devi Dasi. Jaya Radha Jay Krsna! Jay Sri Vrndavam Dham!!!

P.S. We are still asking to be able to have a handwritten Diary of His, even if it doesn't deserve it.

HPS - Thank you for this very concentrated letter. It just proves that however little effort we make to become philosophers Krsna and Srila Prabhupada multiply the result many times, no?

Become and evern greater devotee, Guru.

Respects to Franco/Gopal.

Hare Krsna.

Here we are all still 8.5-minutes from Radha Kunda!!! The sun is at 8.01PM here. Sunset was at 5.45PM.

It is hot here, but with the fan it is O.K.

• Today is anniversary of Lokanatha Swami's initiation;
• Anniversary of the first Kartika festival by Srila Prabhupada;
• Bahula, the honest cow, festival;
• Advent of Radha-kunda festival.

We left for the big program organized by, for, Lokannatha Swami at 8.30am and got back about 12.30pm! Four hours! Over 2,000 people in the pandal-tent.

Brahmanas, mantras, decorations, Swamis, deities, bull carts, Govardhana hill!

90% in Hindi.

A lot of work, but very nutritious.

Now we have no invitations until Govardhana Puja.

Every day we meet devotees at Radha Kunda who know us from 20-years ago etc.

We try to broadcast stuff, but our life here is so much less complicated. We don't plan class programs. A lot of it is just walking to Radha Kunda.

What did you do today?

I walked to Radha-Kunda!

We want to try to join "The Fiftys Club" - Fifty rounds a day. Because our throat is irritated, inflamed a lot, we must chant slower than before.

(Good practice for death).

... We will look at the Blog and Whatsapp.

Hari Bolo!
