Letters to the editor

AgtSP!

Paoho...

There are many, many, many more posts that we want to answer: Jambavati, Nitisara, Nikunja, Murari... ... ..

Makes us sad, frustrated, but our heart and eyes are becoming exhausted.

Please, understand that we see all the Letters, the Titles, and try to answer. We feel so much attraction and affection to everyone.

We try to honor Prasadam with more care, to sleepless, have more strength.

It, the Sun, is at 6.04PM, has set, but still light out.

Was actually little hot today.

Full morning program.

Like Saccinandana Das chanting clearly, so we still have some rounds left.

Could not finish them all in the FMS Japa time.

We will do it!

🙂

Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna.

We have many things to be happy about.

Many, many good things in old age!!!

Happiness in youth, boyhood, adult life and old age are all reflections of the real happiness with Krsna.

Imagine growing up in a village with Krsna.

Deep in the forest.

The outside world really getting forgotten!

Hare Krsna... Hare Krsna...

We hope our Twitter posts, our sketches, are getting better.

We don't perfect these things in one lifetime.

Thank you.

Liked answering all the letters today.

Tried to sort through them and give chance to everyone.

Hari Bolo!

Sandhya Arati!!!

Hot milk!

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Your eternal aspiring servant

Asta Sakhi dd

HpS - Thank you. We hope that there is some value in what little we could send!!!

Devotees in Nabadvipa would send packages to Puri etc, no?

Join us in one more letter! !!!!!

Thank you!!

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva, agtSP, pamho.

In the Ramayana book from vedabase.io is written:

Jatayu then broke Rāvaṇa’s large jewel-encrusted bow, which fell glittering from the sky. Rāvaṇa swiftly strung another bow and shot thousands of arrows at Jatayu, entirely covering his body. The king of birds looked as if he had found shelter in a nest.

We thought: it's worth imagining scene, painting this scene, I then used copilot ai to paint same.

Image attached

HpS - WeWillLook! 👀

AI won't paint negative emotions like --

A) With his white breast reddened with blood, he resembled a large cloud tinged by the setting sun.

B) Rāvaṇa found Sītā bathed in tears and fallen to the floor amid the Rākṣasīs. She resembled a female deer beset by a number of hounds.

HpS / ASA - Isopanisad, Srila Prabhupada, instruct to learn the negative aspects of material life with the positive aspects of spiritual life, no?

If only focus on the spiritual aspects become sahajiy.

If only.. become Mayavadi.

We emphasize positive Spiritual. We are Sahaja-vadis? We contemplate bad things in material life to get motivation to preach!!!

In letter "https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15346/", you wrote

Q1 --HpS - We don't, agtSP, understand the question? ❓

Q2--Should men accept being conquered by men in the Kali yuga?

Q3--we have to take shelter of Rama, Prabhupada, Hanuman. O.K.?

the question was should a married man try to satisfy his guru Or his wife, many times there is contradiction.

How does married man understand, he is inappropriately or too much attached to his wife?

HpS - Basis of everything is Sastra. When Kasyapa is glorifying Diti in 'Pregnancy of Diti in the Evening', Prabhupada says that such exagerated glorification of a wife is either sign of joking or overly attached, no?

Many comments in SB etc about how much husband and wife should be attached to each other, how.

If we have service attitude, then we can work on making a balance in satisfying material responsibilities, and spiritual, but as we progress we see that everything is spiritual. All that Guru and Krsna suggest is the best for our wife materially.

SP: A 'husband' who engages his wife in illicit sex is a torturer of women.

ASA: Because he is conditioning her to a bodily concept of life, bodily pleasure, when she gets the skin ripped open on her leg in a auto, travel accident, she will not be able to withdraw her mind from it.

By stimulating her in excessive pleasure he is guaranteeing her to be tortured!

Wow!

Please accept my respectful obeisances Gurudeva

All Glory to Sri Guru and Gauranga

Dear Gurudeva, it is difficult for me to express myself to you, time changes people and I am not the same as before, the process makes me feel better, discovering new revelations every day and feeling closer to you through vani.

HpS - !!Jaya. AgtSP!!! You really must have been a very introspective, rather deep, person in your last life.

For now I am chanting the holy name with great respect, avoiding any kind of offense, because of this I cannot finish my 16 rounds.

HpS - I face the same problem.... but we get them done some how. If we are chanting with respect, the Krsna will personally chastise the Goddess of fortune with a stick if She does not supply the Prasada!

I think that the holy name is like the wishing trees, and therefore it should be chanted with the mind perfectly controlled, a bad thought can throw us very far down.

I am following the four principles correctly by Gurudeva, although the stubborn mind moves like the wind... In the last 6 months I have distributed approximately 50 Bhagavad Gitas Maha Big, now I cannot remember all the stories, the last one is Gorge a young man from Monterrey who started reading the Bhagavad Gita 3 months ago and is now also distributing the Bhagavad Gita in his Sweet Shop, he is very enthusiastic.

I reiterate my gratitude for your Gurudeva blessings and pray fervently to always remain in the shelter of your Lotus feet.

My wife Mani Kundali dd's operation has been postponed to the month of February or March, I will soon write another letter to inform her about the situation.

Your servant Sacinandan Das

HpS - She is the third lady today who has surgery!

Some one else tried to commit suicide!

Ladies body is like a flower, gopis say, blossoms and is very, very, beautiful, attractive to her and all, but then, it quickly fades and wilts.

Best to get married young, have kids and then be a funny, wise, granny!

Best use of a bad bargain!

Hare Krishna beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO

On December I got the news that my gallbladder must be remove from my body. I am leaving one thing at a time. Ha Ha.

ASA - Was I in a female body in my last life time. Very sincere, but just could not become completely purified, so got a Sannyasi body in this lifetime. Use the damaged machine to the very end for Krsna and then your next body will be a Mercedes! Rolls Royce!! 😎

I am on recovery it seems that I am ok. When you have surgery you see life with other eyes. We do not want to waste time with nonsense. I am starting an online course today.

Ulysses has a younger brother. 2 months old. Zeus !!!!!

HpS - Maybe he is your Father or Mother? 😆

This world is a joke.

We think, "Oh, I lost my father, mother.... 😢", but we can't lose them even if we want to. We have Karma together. Krsna Karma! The most sticky!!

Thanks for being there Gurudeva

C U SOON

HpS / ASA - In the next Blog post!

Dear Guru Maharaja

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

Thank you so much for your association in Houston. In spite of your health, you gave us so much of your time. I have attached pictures of our home altar as you asked.

ASA - 🐵

You named our Gaura Nitai as Nitai Navadwip-Chandra. Divya painted the Kusum Samovar backdrop.

Guru Maharaja, you mentioned many times in your lectures that you had dressed Radha Gokulananda at least 1000 times. And that Radharani is not fit for Darshan when not dressed. So you need to have a proper attitude when doing the service. You have also referenced nikuñja-yūno rati-keli-siddhyai verse in this context.

We dress Radha Govinda here in Dallas twice a week and want to know how to approach the service, especially Radharani. When I was doing pujari service, you told me in this letter (https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11709/) that we practice Raganuga Bhakti Yoga as soon as we realize that Krishna is a person and add some feeling to it. For Eg, when we are offering Bhoga, instead of it being mechanical, we think how does Mother Yasoda offers lunch to Krsna, the cowherd boys. So, we can try to say the prayers with that attitude, see the altar with that attitude, not to enjoy Krsna, but to try to give some more feeling for Krsna.

How should we apply this principle when dressing Radha Govinda Gurudeva?

HpS - ASA --- I don't know the details of your relationship with Radha Kala-chandji! Try different attitudes that seem natural. You know enough about Mother Yasoda's attitude to Krsna, the Gopis yo Radha and Krsna.

That is the adventure. Bhakti yoga forces us onto the mental, intellectual, spiritual platform.

Chant Hare Krsna while you dress them. You know that Mother Yasoda does not know except maybe a faint glimmer of the conjugal relation of Radha and Krsna. You know enough about the Majnari's and non-material sentiments to experiment.

Srinivasa Das got the Tava Pache Pache, so now we can distribute them!!!

We hope we, or someone, can write a cover letter for the LOB/NOI/TLC as a nice, progressive, study module.

Your servant
