Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Thank you so much for your lectures!! Great inspiration!!

We have the opportunity to travel to Spain with family. I want to ask you wether you think is a useful and good idea!!

First option from 30th June until 1st August. Manu and Benji can participate in a trip to Letonia and Cantabria (1-16 july) with other devotees of the same age. Prabhu Jara Mara and other devotees from spain organize it. It is like a sadhu sanga summer holidays!! Then we can meet in Madrid, and I can organize an Ayurvedic seminar maybe in colaboration with Nios.

Second option is travelling from 16 th july until august 15th, here we have more time to serve your sankirtan and be at your disposal!!

What do you think Gurudev?

Trying to serve you!!

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - AgtSPT!! I don't know what would really be best, but the first option sounds very nice because the boys could join the program with the JMHD et al.

What would you do while they are on the Tour? Ayurvedic seminar live, semi-live and virtual?

Individual consultations?

Contrast and compare the two rural projects?

Hare Krishna, Gurudev!!

AgtSP, Pamho

We are in Mar del Plata Argentina.. One month with out wifi!!! looks like the world is finish!!!

ASA/TB - If you have 30-friendly neighbors you won't die, and if you have a county of 10,000 people led by Brahmanas and devotees you will be prosperous, even without wifi.

We took this month to finish the Bhakti Vaibhava Study 6th canto.

This is the last week with Yadunandana Swami Maharaja Presentation..

And we are preparing our final presentation on the power of the holy name an Ajamila.

HpS - Super, super. We are finishing with the Bhakti-vaibhava group in Houston. Six candidates and each one presenting on Sunday until Nrsmha caturdasi, then we submit everyone to the Board of Examiners for approval.

On May we are going to BsAs to get the visa for India.

HpS - Look at the two "Calendar" posts for today: Ambo and Jayanta. We have our ticket to and from Spain but still no ticket for India. A lot depends on the result of this first movie, what our plans are.

Our basic plan chant HK/HR with every breath.

You??

And we are traveling to Nova Gokula Brasil for 1 month with my study partner and friend Gaura Daya Nath dasa in his car.

ASA - We hope you can get internet to post here at least once a month, if not more also.

Goin for some seva to Radha Gokulananda, pujari, study and book distribution.

ASA - No deseas, nada mas.

I am really looking forward to travel to Spain and India.

In witch date you think is good for me to join you in Spain..??

There is brahmacaris in Spain to get their asosiation??

I hope I can be there for some help or service I can do.

Im eternaly greatfull for yours and my godbrothers consideration.

Thank you ver much.

Your Servant Ptd.

HpS - In the two Calendar posts today you can see that Spain is still not clear. Actually we are working the hypothesis that each breath is not certain, cannot be planned.

We expect in the next few days for things to become more clear about our travel plans.

Chant Hare Krsna and get advice from The Super Soul.

TLGASP. Estimado Jayanta Das, por favor, descupla nuestra inabilidad. Aparece despues de escribir una respuesta a su carta no hicimos enviarlo.

Aqui es.

Kapi Dhvaja en production.

Unas comentarios acerca de viaje a Espana [Kolkata/Manipura/Delhi/Braja?] en la carta hoy de Ambarisa Das.

Nos vemos.

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krishna Gurudev : Pamho. TGSP y sus seguidores fieles. Ve

Acabo de ver en K.D. que tiene el vuelo a España el dia 20 de julio. Pienso que si va a estar más de dos meses por aquí, creo que se podría viajar en plan tranquilo. Si se encuentra bien de salud y, si hacemos los viajes no muy largos de tiempo, se podría visitar Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga y, quizás, Portugal. ¿Que opina?

HpSwami - Pfanrh... Estamos pensando esta estado en España podemos ir

Habría que hacerlos dejando espacios entre ellos y haciendo escalas en alguno de ellos. Quiero saber su opinión antes de pensar en los arreglos. Tampoco sé muy bien lo que conlleva la grabación del documental en cuanto a tiempo y en cuanto a contenido. Tenemos tiempo para pensar, pero podemos ir perfilando los objetivos. Gracias

Dear Maharaj PAMHO AGTSP,

We spoke to the husband of the women my husband is romantically involved with, he didn’t seem very concerned about the issue. He said, "My wife has many guy friends and she mentioned about your husband to me too".

He asked me if I wanted to speak to his wife or if the 4 of us should get on a conference call.

He did say he wanted to wait to first speak with his wife before he reacted. He didn’t seem very bothered. He’s our only hope for controlling this woman. He told us his wife is with him, so the Singapore danger averted.

The biggest problem is that my husband keeps his heart shut to me and is wasting time finding his fulfillment in other women, damaging us more, and blaming me that I’m not fixing relationship.

I have tried so much praying for him as well as writing sweet messages to him, I just get “hmm, I have to go work now” and a virtual kiss maybe.

I’m in a deplorable condition, feeling so neglected and abused, always crying and lonely, while he spills his time enjoying other’s wives who are also living with their husband.

Sometimes the pain is so unbearable! I just want to leave this dimension of consciousness/existence and return when all this is over, as I’m not able to bare betrayal anymore… I am chanting in morning and praying as much as possible 🙏❤️.

I sometimes feel great disgust towards my husband, how will I even overcome from these things even if he manages to return.

Your aspiring servant,

Yajnaseni

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP!!! Thank you for your letter. It is a very big issue. In SB there is the story of Dhruva's family: His father, Uttanapada... his mother, Suniti... and his step mother Suruci. Suniti expresses her sentiment to Dhruva (you know this, no?) when he comes to explain the problem he had of being pushed off his father's lap.

"I am like a household servant".

As you describe the situation best thing is to distance yourself from the situation.

Just chant Hare Krsna with sufficient intensity to take your mind away from the problems and see what alternatives your intelligence offers.

I have tried this in situations where I was personally crying because of emotional abuse in ISKCON also.

Krsna gave me intelligence of how to react, plan, what positive action to take, and He did things from His side too: Had a senior devotee threaten to shove the mean devotee out a second story window.

Of course, the new plan of action was scarey, but I felt assured within and from consultation with devotees without, and it has a great step forward in my Ashrama.

Maybe go live with parents, brother, sister and brother in law. Start to work in a new Yatra?

Of course, that is a response to the situation as you describe it.

Having talked with people directly involved, Other-Woman's-Husband, may be better advice than we can give.

Srila Prabhupada is my personal friend as soon as I chant. He is yours too if you just look to him.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna

All glories to you Guru Dev

Whenever I want to communicate with you, the feeling of gratitude flows in me. Thank you very much Guru dev for your example, guidance, tolerance, patience, love and dedication to inspire us and show us how to be devotees in this beautiful path to one day be fully Krsna conscious.

HpS - https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/you-cant-make-a-silk-purse-out-of-a-sows-ear

Srila Prabhupada can do it. We are an example.

AGTSP.

Jay Sri Sri Radhe Syam, Jay vrndavana dham.

Regarding the films that are being produced so beautifully about The Diary of a Traveling Creature the ultimate trip, together with Vrsabhanu Nandini we have seen the chapter of your stay in Peru. Also, as we have mentioned in other communications, we would be willing and are preparing to assist you with filming in Spain and India. If you still believe that we can be useful, we are here at your disposal.

We would travel the 3; Vrsabhanu Nandini, Hari vamsi Dhari and I. We can both record and edit. Eventually also record sound.

Our equipment is Full HD (2 cameras). Some microphones, audio recorder and accessories (tripod, etc).

ASA - HpS --- Raul has been recording in 4K but that seems to be something to consider. Eg. we could get a 4K camera in Spain, or just shoot at lower density... ??

we are available to help and collaborate in whatever is necessary.

thank you very much Guru Dev.

Your servants Vrsabhanu Nandini DD Ambarisa M Das

HpS/ASA -- We are just consolidating: Getting ready for the time of death. Of course, none of know when we will die, so you, all of us should be consolidating. Chanting one Maha-mantra for each breath. Paying Krsna for the air.

Things are in some Chaos.

Battle of Kuruksetra.

Maybe ASA/NIOS do the second, third, fourth movie maybe not.

Big factor is how the first movie is received.

In any case, plans and work is there for 2-4.

Can you fly from BsAs to Madrid through Miami???

Maybe you can't get transit visa, or transit permission in the airport.

Otherwise is twice the price.

I will call you.

Now.

All glories to you Guru Dev

Siempre que quiero comunicarme con usted, fluye en mi el sentimiento de gratitud. Muchas gracias Guru dev por su ejemplo, guía, tolerancia, paciencia, amor y dedicación para inspirarnos y mostrarnos como ser devotos en este hermoso sendero para ser algún dia plenamente conciente de Krsna. Jay Sri Sri Radhe Syam Jay vrndavana dham.

Con respecto a las películas que tan hermosamente se están produciendo sobre Diario de una criatura Viajera the ultimate trip, junto a Vrsabhanu Nandini hemos visto el capitulo de su estadía en Peru.

También, como hemos mencionado en otras comunicaciones, estaríamos dispuestos y nos estamos preparando para asistirlo en la filmación en España e India. Si aun cree que podemos ser útiles, aquí estamos a disposición.

Viajaríamos los 3; Vrsabhanu Nandini, Hari vamsi Dhari y Yo. Ambos podemos tanto grabar como editar. Eventualmente también tomar sonido.

Nuestros equipos son Full HD (2 camaras). Algunos micrófonos, grabadora de audio y accesorios (trípode, etc).

 Estamos a disposicion para ayudar y colaborar en lo que sea nesesario. muchas gracias guru dev. sus sirvientes Vrsabhanu nandini DD Ambarisa M Das

Hare Krishna respetado Gurudeva panhr, TLGASP!! TLGAHpS!!

La madre Ojasvini Radhika dd me pidió que la ayudara a hacerle llegar, por este medio, la invitación, para usted, de los encargados de la publicación del libro de Vyasa puja de SS Jayapataka Swami:

"Mi muy querido y apreciado Siksha guru, Su Santidad Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja, por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias a sus pies de loto. 

Todas las glorias al liberador del mundo entero de toda la miseria material, Srila Prabhupada ki jay 🙏

Querido Maharaja, los discípulos de Su Santidad Jayapataka Swami encargados de la publicación del libro de Vyasa puja, nos acercamos a usted con todo respeto y cariño para preguntarle si usted pudiera hacer una ofrenda para su querido hermano Su Santidad Jayapataka Swami Maharaja y de esa manera embellecer y exaltar más nuestro libro de Vyasa puja del 2022.

Muchas gracias maharaja, a la espera de su amable respuesta

Su sirvienta y siksha discípula, que aunque no le escribo en el blog, si lo sigo en sus clases y tomo como mía, también, su misión de educación Vaishnava como una de las cosas más prominentes en mi vida. 🙏🙏🙏

Su sirvienta

Ojasvini Radhika dd"

HARE KRISHNA GURUDEVA, su insignificante sirviente, Abhirama Thakura Dasa.

JAY SRI RAMA!!!!

HpS - AgtSP... Paoho... We were looking forward to writing this appreciation of Maharaja, but then we were absorbed in the Temple Opening and Rama-navami Festival in Richmond along with initiation ceremonies online and Bhakti Vaibhava final examinations!

We had some close association with Jayananda Das, Hansadutta Swami and our Sannyasa guru, Bhakti Svarupa Damodar but with H. H. Jayapataka Swami, not too much. Of course, he is our GBC Secretary in countries like Peru where we travel, and we come in contact with His Holiness in other Hispanic countries while preaching, but we will only have a little to say.

In general, we have had a few amazing experiences with Maharaja that also happened in the few times we had direct contact with Srila Prabhupada. We have seen Maharaja's inexhaustible travel schedule and his ability to relate intensely with a variety of people, many very intense in themselves.

We tend to be formality bound Sannyasis in many ways but Maharaja's dealings with people are much more flexible and go to a level beyond our ability to evaluate his depth. We have heard that Srila Prabhupada commented on different occasions that he must have been an associate of Lord Chaitanya in his previous life.

Our basic relationship with Maharaja is of one observing a very large and potent phenomenon and desiring to know more.

On this occasion we wish Maharaja the best of wishes for his true abilities to manifest and to expand the Sankirtan movement where ever he goes.

Thank you,

Hanumatpresaka Swami
