Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

HpSwami - By his divine grace we can be one step above beasts, no?

I`m finally back to Chile, quite tired and with a lot of heat, but happy and thinking in Krsna, since I stopped to speak with that mataji I started to chant Nrisimha Kavaca and I see him protecting me, I have not stopped my Sadhana and that mantra fits very well with it.

HpSwami - Also, prayers by Prahlada around SB 5.18.12!

Also I started to do sankirtan and I can see that Krsna is helping me with it a lot, now I`m doing almost in the nights (Around 9 to 10 pm) and works very well, the day is not that hot and the people are more open, I usually go to restaurants and similar places, usually people are more open to receive any book or anything if they are eating and relax.

Also I want to ask you if you would like to come to my home to spend just one afternoon with my family and some devotees that could come, not to make any specific program (I mean give any class about topic, etc.) but to just be here and have a nice meal with Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra.

HpS - Like to, but let us make detailed plans and little more in the future!

I`m quite happy also with how life is going, I feel more stable and happy, I don`t feel any rush to go and travel now or get married or anything like that, for now my only concerns are to keep my family happy and serve Krsna in the way that I can.

Also I started to do some seva in the temple and I`m kind of wondering if I could take second initiation, I just wonder if you think is a good idea, I have all the "paper work" needed to take and also I`m quite excited to be able to have a Sila and worship and serve the deities as a pujari I think could be a nice step forward, I heard some of your classes when you speak when is a good time to take second initiation, also I have being following what you have told me to be mostly fix in the mood of goodness and now you are coming so I ask you what do you think?

HpS-Seems nice.

When do you get up regularly?

Can you lead the full morning program, got basic Bhakti sastri education, cook kitri and halavah?

As always I hope your health is good and that your body is not making too many troubles for the age that it has.

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja and see you soon :D

Hare Krishna Dear Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you… infinite Thank you

PAMHO

Beyond philosophical speculation and human verbal expression...

 poetry… the one that knows nothing of prose.

The one that is not illuminated by the light

Of any sun

Nor of any shooting star

Its heartbeat is composed...

infinite poetry that never arrives

The one that has never gone

The one that does not hide

The one that hides from sight

The one that returns intact from its destiny

Illuminated and constant… active

Spear of the warrior in its shelter

The sheet that covers the disappeared bodies

That never carries

That change and age

That live dead for having been born

With the brilliant poetry

That knows nothing of prose nor of letters

Nor of so many words that describe and name it

The one reviewed by crows with mirrored plumage

The one in whose bubbles

Millions of universes

Peopled with shadows that it illuminates

Sometimes…

Over anguishes that have no name.

Impeccable swans travel its course

The waves of a transparent pond accumulating

Its passing through the waters… leaves no tracks

They leave its mirror… the clarity of the soul

Accusing the arrival…

The bearers of the Name

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare

All glories to Your Feet

ENC das.

HpS - All glories to Your Feet.

Can you read the Krsna book in English with 100% comprehension?

110%?

80%?

Your English is super, super inspiring, for us.

Maybe others post response, comments.

Hare Krishna Querido Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

¡Gracias… infinitas ¡Gracias ¡

Más allá de la especulación filosófica y la expresión verbal humana

 la poesía… la que no sabe de prosas.

La que no se ilumina con la luz

De ningún sol

Ni de ninguna estrella fugaz

Su latido es compuesto

 poesía infinita que no llega nunca

La que nunca se ha ido

La que no se esconde

La que se oculta a la vista

La que regresa intacta de su destino

Iluminada y constante… activa

Lanza del guerrero en su cobijo

La sabana que cubre los cuerpos desaparecidos

Que nunca lleva

Que cambian y avejentan

Que viven muertos por haber nacido

Con la poesía brillante

Que no sabe de prosas ni de letras

Ni de tantas palabras que la describen y nombran

La que revisan los cuervos de plumaje espejado

La que en sus burbujas se cuentan

Millones de universos

Poblados de sombras que alumbra

A veces…

Sobre las angustias que no tienen nombre.

cisnes impecables transitan su cauce

Acumulándose las olas de un transparente estanque

Su paso por las aguas… no dejan hullas

Dejan su espejo… la claridad del alma

Anunciando la llegada…

Los portadores del Nombre

Todas las glorias a Tus Pies

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

En mi carta anterior usted me dice lo siguiente:

HpS - Thank you!!! I think I may have met Maharaja and know him by his Brahmacari name.

Are you going to take Sannyasa? 🙂

Es una pregunta muy complicada de responder, yo diría muy, pero muy complicada de responder, pienso que solo los valientes podrían tomar Sannyasa.

A lo largo del tiempo hubo Sannyasis que no se cayeron y otros si. Uff Dificil. Maya es muy poderosa.

Otro factor es que tienes que tener mucho conocimiento, saber muchos versos de memoria, ser practicamente un erudito, cosas que yo no tengo.

ISKCON y el GBC siempre te observan. Que dificil.

Si tan solo fuera para viajar y hacer sankirtan y armar programas de distribución de libros, sería muy bueno para los valientes devotos que desean Sannyasa.

Tengo 46 años y quiza ya sea hora de morir, pero soy tan cobarde ante la muerte.

La Brahmacarya es más facil, creo yo, al menos no tan complicado.

Tengo muchos deseos y lucho con ellos todos los días.

Es la segunda ves que me preguntas sobre tomar Sannyasi, a veces pienso que es alguna broma tuya Guru Maharaja. Claro lo digo con todo respeto 😊

No se que más decir,,

HpS - We just checked and sixteen devotees have filed Reports. Considering our incompetence that is nice. If we only have sixteen disciples to serve following Srila Prabhupada in Disciplic succession we might be able to do the job properly.

Thank you so much.

More News of your developing Sadhana and Sankirtan as it develops.

Mi Sadhana marcha muy bien, me levanto a las 4 am, Mangal artik 5 y 30 am conectandome con usted Guru Maharaja, canto 16 rondas de Japa y algo más, sigo los 4 principios regulativos, estudiando el Bhakti Vaibhava con Prabhu Laksmana Agraha. Atendiendo a mis Salagrama Silas.

¿Guru Maharaja para usted fue facil tomar Sannyasi?

Bueno Guru Maharaja me despido y que el Señor Nrsimha lo proteja siempre.

HpSwami - AgtSP.

It is a good question to contemplate right up to the time of death.

Yes, it has so many formalities in ISKCON as an institution.

If it practical to take it formally in ISKCON that is great.

If not, then one might take formal vows in front of devotee friends and goswamis to give up physical and social intercourse with the opposite sex.

Use a saffron colored bead bag.

Within the institution, with our friends, in our direct contact with Srila Prabhupada, we can, must, find ways to advance in the rules and regulations if Bhakti yoga.

💪💪💪🐒

In many ways, I think many Bloggers take you as their inspiration.

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Please accept my obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you.

Thank you for your reply.

The truth is, I don't feel well because my sadhana is in such a bad state, since Srila Prabhupada instructs us to get up at 4:00 AM and do Manga Arati and finish the rounds. It's very difficult for me to get up at that hour, but 95% of the time I chant all my rounds in the morning.

On the other hand, I don't adhere to the principle of cleanliness, since I find it difficult to maintain celibacy. I try hard, but I slip up from time to time.

I await your good advice.

Thank you.

Your servant, Rama Krishna Devi Dasi

HpS - In, agtSP, BG Krsna says that one who does good is never overcome by evil.

A dog went to Puri with the Nadiya vasis.

He was not chanting on beads.

Lord understood his sincerity and limitations and gave him prasad and I think sent him to better body!

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

 Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpSwami ASA - AgtSP. All respects to your lotus feet on Goloka!

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 All glories to Guru parampara.

 Gurudev, submitted my annual report. Booked ticket for Vrndavan ( Jan 19 to 24, 2026 ).

HpS Hope to hear your Kirtan there.

Your dependent,

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Today during your FMS you said your voice is 90% dysfunctional. I've noticed you've been dealing with this problem for quite some time, at least for several weeks.

I also have a voice problem that became chronic, so I want to share my experience with you.

.....

ASA 🐒

Hare Krsna.

It was about thirty pages long.

We could read the first page and then had to run away!

Our special throat problem has only been for about a week. Since last Saturday.

Common Flu.
