Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances Maharaj, and all glories to your service to Srila Prabhupada. I am so very happy to provide some service in the form of articles to send to Abhiram Prabhu for the Solaris magazine. I am very glad that I can be of some service to Abhiram Prabhu and the editors of the Solaris magazine.

Thank you for your association and for involving me in some academic service.

Your humble aspirant servant,

Aja Govinda Das

HpS - Thank you! We hope to read your articles. We hope that Solaris is well formatted and distributed.

We would like to see articles that give our ISKCON, BBT, OCHS, BRC, BI perspective, but also give us links to other groups with whom we can learn, partner and help!!!

We are going to an evening program now in Boise.

Kama gayatri Devi Dasi's Brother's Yoga/Sound center.

Hope to share and compare with many sincere yogis.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

 Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS // ASA - The same to your lotus feet! I understand we all have lotus feet in our Siddha dehas! Of course, some of us may have lotus hooves. So nice to hear from you!

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 All glories to Guru parampara.

 Gurudev, Spiritually you are very healthy. Gained so many things. You have covered huge advance spiritual distance. Many things are visible to you. Your spiritual eye fully at very

advance stage.

HpS - Can we say moderately advanced stage? Even that is 99.999% the effort of Srila Prabhupada whom to our little inteligence never deviates from austerity for Krsna.

 You are at a such advance stage where your all wishes will be fulfilled just by your single

thought. if you want so...

HpS - That is terrifying, no? Jayananda Das told me that I would not like to live one day in his mind.

 If you want to stop then you will be stop. No once else can stop you.

 You are living and enjoying your TRUE & ACTUAL nature on earth. You have uncovered so

many secrets. 

Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Thank you for such a nice letter. I gives us perspective on what we might be. We cannot see our selves too well, no?

We see ourselves becoming inattentive and falling into hearing mundane news, eating wrong by superficial concerns, not having advanced knowledge of the goal of human life, but Krsna pulls us back up, and then we go back into the battle with whatever resources we have, thinking that Srila Prabhupada will utilize whatever positive contribution that we can make!!!

Send some news of your family, sadhana and sankirtan please.

Reverencias a todos.

HpS/ASA - I feel, Srila Prabhupada Ki Jaya! very ashamed. Why should people be spending money for ear phones for me.

If people donated what they actually thought it was worth to them, that is fine. Spiritual life is not a matter of sentimental speculation or imaginative ecstasy, rather practical activity in the foreground of spiritual life.

They do help, but like so many devotees my social and physical background, our eyes, ears, heart, skin, joints, voice are disintegrating so that the elements can be recycled into new bodies.

We need to spend 27% of our time packing up to leave for our next body.

The rest is just for our regular Sankirtan development using the tools and potency Krsna provides us.

Paoho!!

We hope we can use technology to serve you and Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan movement.

Hare Krishna Gurudev. Dandavat pranam. AGTSP.

Gurudev, In gita my most favorite sloka is 8/14.

https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/8/14/

My prayer unto your lotus feet is to bless me for attaining this devotional stage and type of devotional service.

At present by your grace we are practicing anusmaran of our ASA, Sri Radha Shyamsundar. My prayer unto your lotus feet is to instruct me, the type of lord's seva.

Gurudev knows me how i am foolish, incapable of preaching, even to understand after reading books. So forgiving all my aparads, kindly guideme your spiritual instruction.

Dandavat pranam gurudev.

HpS - Hare Krsna!

Of course, the service is 16 nice rounds, and 4 principles strictly.

It works, it works.

Keep your altar according to your wealth.

Serve with love.

Cleanliness.

Punctuality.

Then more or less paraphernalia and ritual according to your means.

At least have Mangala arati. Can be simple, but clean, punctual regular, brahma muhurta, bhajan kirtan, then read Srima Bhagavatam.

Srila Prabhupada has explained things so that even first class fools like us can understand.

Srimad Bhagavatam also means CC or Krsna book.

If we do this then Krsna will give us intelligence how to build on this foundation, many new friends and students!!

So nice to hear from you.

You have very special character and qualities. Share them.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

PAMHO - AGTSP

1. The municipality of Cabildo is asking me for digital marketing services. What complicates this is that sometimes I'll have to create videos and graphic pieces related to topics such as leather crafts and perhaps non-vegetarian cuisine.

2. A greengrocer also asked me to do digital marketing work, but they also sell eggs, coffee, and meat products.

Since I've been working, I've always avoided jobs that involve promoting issues related to the 4 principles.

What do you recommend I do in this case? Especially regarding point number 1.

Your servant PMD

HpS - Purport in the first canto where prabhupada mentions that the killers, transporters, cookers, servers, eaters are all part of a conspiracy and they all suffer. so i guess same is true of the advertisers. just tell the employers how you feel and if you lose the job take it as Krsna protecting. you.

on who does good my friend is never overcome by evil.

maybe we die.

then we wake up in goloka.

lots of advertising work to do.

PAMHO AGTSP! All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

HK Maharaj!! Good morning, how are you?

HpS - Struggling with great pain. 9.32PM here in Boise, still light enough outside to barely read a book.

Now we get your association.

Are you still in the states? How’s your health doing? I tried to follow you on X but found out you’re not there anymore, and Vrisabanu told me you have a WhatsApp group, well here I’m sending you my number, would you please add me and delete it from the post??

HpS - I cannot add you. Ask Nikunja bihari Das in Argentina.

Well here things have been working out better, my parents went on a trip to Brasil and I was left home alone, and well that gave me the peace to adjust my sadhana and get back to normal.

The relationship with them was a bit hard, they’re on their 70s and well they have a lot of tricks, my father specially usually makes a big problem out of nothing, he curses and insults, so I’m avoiding them whenever that happens, I will just stay away from trouble.

I began English classes with a new teacher from Berkeley, if my memory doesn’t fail you went to college somewhere around that city, am I right?

hps - yes.

So I still keep journaling, now I’m doing one day all in English and the other day I do it in Portuguese, because I learned that it better to keep separate days for each language learning activities.

I began studying a marketing program called NextMBA, they have there Philip Kotler and some other famous guys. Well I’m founding it interesting so far.

I’ve been feeling my Japa better. You know I’ve been feeling closer to paramatma than ever. I would love to connect deeper with Krishna, could you give me any piece of advice?

HpS - The process works! Just keep doing it. You will become more soft and awaken your real self.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Christian music lately, if makes me feel so well, I feel like if I were chanting Japa whilst listening to it.

And the last thing, I’ve been looking to get married, been searching for a spouse on the Vaishnava Marriage website, which is supported by Jayapataka Swami. Some Matajis sent my a proposal, but usually they live in India and aren’t willing to move to Argentina 🇦🇷 so now I’m trying to look for someone who might live closer.

I was remembering you these days. Is there any rural community in the states that you would recommend me to visit? I quite don’t remember if asked you already that question…

HpS - None special. We are camping in Houston until Janmastami! Nice place, but Gokula is the best.

Maharaj I would like to ask you for your blessings, if you found it useful, to start an English-Spanish exchange conversation club for members of ISKCON :) what do you think about it?? I’ve been attending, as I once told you, to some of those groups here in Buenos Aires, and I thought might be awesome to share that experience with devotees

HpS - I guess it would be O.K. Why bilingual? Guess just start with one or two friends, no?

What do you think of Govardhana Das letter from today????

Thank you very much Maharaj in advance for everything,

I hope we can meet up someday in near future.

HpS - We are meeting now. Physical is not much if any different, no? 🙂 We meet in our Sankirtan at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet.

PAMHO, HK
