Letters to the editor

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

¡Todas las glorias al movimiento de Sankirtana de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu! 

Deseando no robar tanto tiempo en este periodo intenso del viaje a España. Que el Señor Nrisimhadeva proteja su energía y Sankirtana.

HpS - Thank you. You can hear of the struggle in the letter to Panch tattva Das!!

Continuamos con el reporte de la visita a México en el 2023.

Tenemos dos buenas propuestas que cuentan con el apoyo de los anfitriones y el equipo de sus discípulos para que funcione como una buena base rural de Sankirtana para el placer de Srila Prabhupada. 

En una carta anterior mencioné que la mayoría de los discípulos viven en Ciudad de México por lo que fue necesario tener una reunión de hermanos espirituales para discutir este punto, el pasado Domingo 10 se realizó la reunión de una manera armoniosa con 16 vaisnavas. 

También hemos estado conversando individualmente con varios devotos. 

Los anfitriones compartieron detalles de cada lugar y los presentes resolvieron dudas y aportaron comentarios de agradecimiento y deseos de apoyar. 

El resultado de la reunión es el siguiente: La finca Nueva Govardhan de prabhu Gadhadara Gosai y Ananda Maya y familia presentó importantes ventajas. 

RESUMEN 

• Situada a 1 hora del aeropuerto.

• Clima primaveral en esas fechas de la visita. 

 •Cuenta con internet satelital de fibra óptica y con todos los espacios necesarios para un número considerable de visitantes.

• Sala de Templo amplia de Sus Señorías Krsna Balarama para los programas de adoración y sadhana diario.

• Habitación principal equipada. 

• Casa independiente para madres y domos geodésicos para devotos.

• No se pagaría alquiler o renta, facilitando de ese modo que los devotos de México y de otros países puedan llegar.

• Los donativos serían nada más para cubrir el prasadam y un reducido aporte para los servicios de primera necesidad.

ASA - Yet, everyone should make nice voluntary donations as they can! We always do that.

• Posibilidad de casa independiente para invitados especiales en áreas de la Finca. 

•Disponibilidad de equipar con lo que haga falta.

•Cuenta con un hotel y restaurante Hare Krsna con una tarifa accesible para quienes decidan mayor comodidad, se encuentra a 40 minutos, cuenta con una camioneta para estos traslados y también transporte público.

• Facilidad para actividades de prédica rural, culturales y academicos.

Propuesta de celebraciones: 

1) Domingo 5 de Marzo: Inauguración de la Finca

2) Lunes 6 de Marzo: Gourpurnima

Con la idea que los viajeros puedan llegar a dos eventos importantes, pero también se puede mover la fecha de la inauguración. 

• Adicionalmente solicitamos la opinión de prabhu Adhoksaja que recientemente estuvo viviendo y apoyando en la finca, nos dió buenas referencias de la atmósfera espiritual, ubicación y clima en esas fechas.

• Por lo mencionado la mayoría de los presentes manifestaron ser la mejor opción y un porcentaje menor manifestó una posición neutral pero dispuestos a apoyar cualquier desicion. 

Esta información tiene como objetivo ser una herramienta en el servicio, más no tomar una desicion independiente a sus instrucciones. 

La desicion con sabiduría la tiene Usted Gurumaharaja, por tal motivo presentamos la segunda propuesta de parte de Gopi Radha dd y prabhu Vidagdha para recibirlo en Tepoztlán, un hermoso pueblo turístico, donde actualmente viven con su familia con programas espírituales y apoyando programas de predica regulares. 

RESUMEN

•El clima oscila entre 28 a 30 grados en Marzo. 

•Situado a 2 horas del aeropuerto de la Ciudad de México 

• Internet de fibra óptica. 

• Casa de la familia equipada a disposición para el hospedaje de Gurumaharaja y 3 o 4 vaisnavas.

• Amplio jardín con variedad de plantas en donde se puede tener 2 casas de campaña con espacio para 4 personas.

• Se puede recibir invitados al aire libre con sombra, es un espacio de 700 m². 

• Hospedaje para visitantes: se puede rentar casas para compartir y también hoteles con variedad de tarifas.

• Donativo para prasadam.

• Posibilidades de predica en el lugar.

• Buenos lugares naturales para visitar y recursos naturales accesibles para ofrecer al Señor Supremo. 

Gurumaharaja muchas gracias por darnos la oportunidad de servirlo, tan solo la meditación en ello beneficia nuestra existencia. 

Le parece buen lugar para buscar a Sita?

Hay otros recursos locales que debemos considerar para que sean buenas herramientas para el enfoque de predica que Usted necesite para esta visita? Desea un enfoque particular de consolidación para México ?

Estamos para intentar servir su maravilloso Sankirtana.

Disculpe por la carta larga por favor.

Muchas gracias por su infinita misericordia.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

ASA - It is a lot to absorb now. Finishing the work in Houston, packing, and traveling have taken a lot of energy, but this word from you all is very nice. We can appreciate about 81%. From our perspective is seems that Monterrey is the best. If we plan this far in advance, then devotees can make the arrangements to come and stay for a few days.

Of course, invitation to Guru-prasada Swami et al, no?

We can even look for arrangements in local hotels for devotees and transportation.

We don't want to diminish the strength of Gaura-purnima celebrations in other parts of Mexico, but I think that won't happen.

By then we should have a rather different body that we have now.

Hopefully we can focus on Hanuman returning from Lanka with news of Sita for Rama, no?

Thank you.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva.

Pamho, AgtSP.

It's very Nice to know You are progresing in the filmation of the movie with Pablo and Raúl and planing the trip to Vrindavan Dhama..

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna, PtD! Thank you for the news. It is very enlivening. From this Blog I hope you can see we have arrived in Spain.

It was a very long, arduous trip. All the flights were delayed for hours. We missed connections and had to be rebooked. Starved. Luggage lost. Standing for hours in lines with great agony in our legs.

Met some nice people.

Some nice Japa.

By Yoga and His Divine Grace we arrived in fighting strength and are setting up our Camp in New Vraja mandala.

Now we are focusing on the symposium on Jung and Bhakti siddhanta 4-11 September. We will post more news about that.

When do we submit the application for Sannyasa for your esteemed self?

Hare Krsna querido Guru Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias

Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada, ¡salvador de los caídos!,

y Todas las Glorias a Usted que nos guía tras los pasos de Su Divino maestro.

Hoy, Guru Purnima, después de su clase reflexione un poco acerca de los múltiples maestros que el misericordioso Señor Hari ha puesto en mi camino. Alcance a ver, un poco, de la ayuda infinita que nuestro Señor me ha otorgado y medite en la inmensa deuda que he adquirido con esos maestros.

Sin duda, encontrar a Srila Prabhupada y encontrarme con usted ha sido la mayor fortuna de mi existencia, ¡muchas gracias!… Hoy pude recordar con claridad muchas, muchas, muchas ocasiones en las que fui salvada por vuestras instrucciones... Aún tengo tanto por aprender, soy una estudiante tonta que comete errores una y otra vez, y soy cautivada por maya de muchas maneras. Luego vuelvo llorando a ustedes implorando auxilio… ¡Por favor perdóneme por abusar de su misericordia!

Los últimos años, debido a un fuerte shock, estuve naufragando en un océano tormentoso de oscuridad, miedo y confusión. Creo que mi único logro fue mantenerme viva e intentando seguir sus instrucciones y las de Srila Prabhupada, sin ellas hubiera sido imposible percibir a Sri Krsna en todo aquello…

Ahora, por su misericordia sin causa, mis heridas casi han sanando y todo parece más claro. Hemos recuperado fuerzas, entusiasmo y nos sentimos lo suficientemente estables para empezar a avanzar con determinación.

¡Deseamos ser Soldados útiles, Tenemos una deuda que pagar!... la bendita deuda que tenemos con usted y con Srila Prabhupada, muchas veces ha sido lo único que me motivó a continuar. Confió firmemente en que, por su misericordia sin causa, algún día podremos desarrollar un amor genuino por nuestro muy misericordioso Señor y amo.

Gurudeva, gracias por rescatarnos, por guiarnos en el camino que su Divino Maestro ha dejado para que podamos volver con nuestro muy amoroso Señor.

Su torpe aspirante a sirviente

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my deepest obeisances

All Glories be to Srila Prabhupada, savior of the fallen!

and All Glories to You who guide us in the footsteps of Your Divine Master.

HpS - Our divine master, no?

Today, Guru Purnima, after his class I reflected a little about the many teachers that the merciful Lord Hari has placed on my path. Get to see, a little, the infinite help that our Lord has given me and meditate on the immense debt that I have acquired with those teachers.

Without a doubt, meeting Srila Prabhupada and meeting you has been the greatest fortune of my existence, thank you very much!... Today I was able to clearly remember many, many, many occasions when I was saved by your instructions... I still have so much to learn, I am a foolish student who makes mistakes over and over again, and I am captivated by maya in many ways. Then I come back crying to you begging for help… Please forgive me for abusing your mercy!

The last few years, due to a strong shock, I was shipwrecked in a stormy ocean of darkness, fear and confusion. I think my only achievement was staying alive and trying to follow his and Srila Prabhupada's instructions, without them it would have been impossible to perceive Sri Krsna in all that...

Now, by his causeless mercy, my wounds have almost healed and everything seems clearer. We have regained strength, enthusiasm and we feel stable enough to start moving forward with determination.

We want to be useful Soldiers, We have a debt to pay!... the blessed debt that we owe to you and to Srila Prabhupada, many times has been the only thing that motivated me to continue. I firmly trust that, by his causeless mercy, we will one day be able to develop a genuine love for our most merciful Lord and master.

Gurudeva, thank you for rescuing us, for guiding us on the path that his Divine Master has left so that we can return to our very loving Lord.

Your clumsy would-be servant

Karuna Sakti Devi Dasi

(PS We sent photos of some flowers from the garden in the hope that they will please Lord Nrsmhadeva)

HpS - ASA --- It is just a fact that we could have written the exact same letter to Srila Prabhupada. We hope that you are connecting with him through many other sources besides us. We hope to help as Diksa and Siksa guru's under his authority.

Even if we stumble, you can stay upright and help any others get up.

War on the Witch (Who is actually our good mother)!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, pamho

I hope this meets you in good health and happy

The last few weeks have been very stressful. My job is very demanding. I am so saturated that one day I forgot that I had to give classes. At which age shall I retire?? 55??

Sometimes I am scared to death that I am too much contaminated with material mentality. I like to have good accomodations as well as cultivate the human Spirit. It's an art 🎭

In the next period I will reduce the workload (I hope) I will not continue in 4 universities. Just two.

Janmastami is comming and on that date I will take the opportunity to renew my vows.

OVer the last two weeks I had the intention of joining the full morning program, nevertheless my body did not have the strength to join. My sincere apologies for that

On the other hand you are always in my heart. I just wanted to greet you on this auspicious day and thank you for always being there. Listening to your japa and classes are a breath of fresh air for my soul.

Next week I will finish the translation of my part of waves of devotion. This is my only current practical service. Thanks for engaging me in your service

I hope to see you soon. See you in FMP

Trying to be your disciple

HpS - ASA - Super, super, news bulletin. We don't need so much. We can be happy with Krsna and some other devotees in a little boat.

Go ahead. If you work at it in your next life you be in Goloka or in the body of a Sannyasi.

Were we like you in our last life, but did you job correctly?

Next letter. Let's go.

HARE Krishna Gurudev,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Here we are in New Vrajamandala.

ASA - AGTSP! paoho. Us also. So good to see you yesterday and today.

Our journey began several months ago with the idea of ​​being able to be useful in the documentary project.

Physically, we traveled a week before the flight to Spain by car from our house in Huerta Grande, Cordoba to Buenos Aires, about 800 kilometers away.

For a week we lived with my (Ambarisa) parents and we saw more relatives. It is also a request and necessity of Hari Vamsi to see them regularly.

In those days we met Abhirama thakurji who gave me the equipment lent by Raul Ceballos and the hard disk and microphones bought in New York by Dharu Krsna.

HpS/ASA - We have two $50 lapel mikes in our lost suitcase.

We shared Prasadam pizza, we toured part of Buenos Aires in search of books and then we took him to the airport heading to Lima Peru.

Then on July 11 we took a flight with a 4 hour stopover in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. From there direct to Madrid.

The trip was quite good, Hari slept the entire Bolivia-Madrid section. He was very excited about the whole adventure.

There were quite a few children on both flights.

Upon arrival, we were to meet Adiras Prabhu, but his car broke down on the way to the airport. Then Jambula came to the rescue to take us to New Vrajamandala.

HpS - Material life means to expect problems and then by Krsna's mercy surpass them for His serrvice here.

The devotees received us very well, very attentive in everything. They placed us in the tower, inside the main building.

ASA - Oh, that is where you are! I used to stay there. It is nice. Has 360-degree view? Big cloak room at the entrance. Oh, we are neighbors. We can visit you.

We are still adjusting the schedule, mostly Hari that we can't get him to sleep before 2 am. Also here it is HOT during the day until 10:30 at night. Our bodies changed from the intense cold of Cordoba to the heat, they are adjusting very well.

HpS - This is because we are Yogis, no?

There are many children and Hari has already made friends and that helps with his melancholy. They meet in the afternoon at the river and then play in the temple garden after the Gaura Arati.

We are trying to participate in the Mangala Arati, also Yadunandana Swami has engaged us in giving Srimad Bhagavatam lecture ( canto 5 chapter 4)

The deities of Radha Govinda Candra, Gaura Nitai, Giriraj and Laxmi Nrsimha are very beautiful and the atmosphere here is pleasant in many ways.

We began to plan with Mahajan Prabhu the video of new Vraja mandala that they asked us to arrange for the stay. It would be a video that shows everything that the place can offer and promote it for tourism purposes and something spiritual, not religious.

ASA - "Pilgrims" instead of "Tourists", no? Propaganda can read: Places of Personal Pilgrimage. Where to investigate your full potential and personal demons. . . Pilgrimages and Spiritual Reteats.. . . . The Light and Cooling Breezes for those on the Pilgrim's Progress. ???

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/13/9/ + Subsequent verse.

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/3/1/17/ + subsequent verses. " one is able to realize the Supreme Lord by the process of a pilgrim’s journey".

We are looking at which spaces would be the best for interviews. We think that outdoor spaces are very attractive and it would be good to take advantage of them. Then inside they suggest the library, which is in another building, it is quiet and with good aesthetics. We haven't seen her yet.

There is internet in different places (with different passwords), the classes are broadcast on the New Vrajamandala Facebook. We're also looking into data plans for mobiles.

Thank you very much Guru dev for engage us in service and giving us this adventure.

Yours servants Vrsabhanu nandini and Ambarisa m Das

HpS/ASA - Again, very nice to see you. We are immortal. Krsna may take our material body at any moment. We can act from the strength of the eoul.

PAMHO

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Aquí estamos en Nueva Vrajamandala. 

Nuestro viaje comenzó hace varios meses con la idea de poder ser utiles en el proyecto del documental.

 Físicamente viajamos una semana antes del vuelo a España en automóvil desde nuestra casa en Huerta Grande Cordoba hacia Buenos Aires, unos 800 kilómetros de distancia. Convivimos con mis (Ambarisa) padres y vimos más familiares también es un pedido y necesidad de Hari Vamsi el verlos regularmente. En esos días nos encontramos con Abhirama thakurji quien me entregó los equipos prestados por Raul Ceballos y los discos y micrófonos comprados en New York por Dharu Krsna. Compartimos pizza Prasadam, recorrimos parte de Bs As en busca de libros y luego lo llevamos al aeropuerto rumbo a lima Peru.

Luego el 11 de julio tomamos un vuelo con escala de 4h en Santa Cruz, Bolivia. De ahí directo a Madrid.

El viaje estuvo bastante bien, Hari durmió todo el tramo Bolivia-Madrid. Estaba muy emocionado con toda la aventura.

Había bastantes niños en ambos vuelos. 

Al llegar íbamos a encontrarnos con Adiras Prabhu, pero su auto se rompió camino al aeropuerto. Luego Jambula vino al rescate para llevarnos a Nueva Vrajamandala.

Los devotos nos recibieron muy bien, muy atentos en todo. Nos ubicaron en la torre, dentro del edificio principal.

Estamos aún ajustando el horario, más que nada Hari que no logramos que se duerma antes de la 2 am. Además aquí es de día hasta las las 10:30 de la noche. Nuestros cuerpos cambiaron del frío intenso de Cordoba al calor, se están ajustando muy bien.

Hay muchos niños y Hari ya se hizo amigos y eso ayuda con su melancolía. Se encuentran por la tarde en el río y luego juegan en el jardín del templo después del Gaura Arati. 

Estamos Intentando participar de los Mangala Arati, también Yadunandana Swami nos ha ocupado en dar clases de Srimad Bhagavatam ( canto 5 capítulo 4)

Las deidades de Radha Govinda Candra, Gaura Nitai, Giriraj y Laxmi Nrsimha son muy hermosas y el ambiente aquí es agradable en muchos sentidos.

Comenzamos a planificar con Mahajan Prabhu el vídeo de la finca que nos pidieron como arreglo por la estadía. Sería un vídeo que muestre todo lo que la finca puede ofrecer y promocionarla con fines turísticos y algo espiritual no religioso. 

Estamos viendo qué espacios serían los mejores para las entrevistas. Pensamos que los espacios exteriores son muy atractivos y sería bueno aprovecharlos. Luego dentro nos sugieren la biblioteca, que está en otro edificio, es tranquilo y con buena estética. Aún no la hemos visto.

Hay internet en distintas partes (con diferentes claves), las clases se transmiten en el Facebook de Nueva Vrajamandala. También estamos averiguando sobre planes de datos para teléfonos.

Muchas gracias Gurú dev por Ocuparnos en servicio y regalarnos esta aventura.

Para servirle Vrsabhanu nandini y Ambarisa m Das

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

I went to Bhrigu Nadi last month. They told me there is a constellation for your current marriage to not work and your second marriage to work. You desire your husband becomes better, but he will not. Doubt has killed your marriage. There is a woman who is acting to kill your marriage (I’m thinking my husband’s girlfriend). They told me some remedies and told me if at all things get resolved by October, they’ll be resolved, else it will get over. Remedies included giving clothing to women, food to birds, water to Surya, and visits to one shiva temple east of our home protecting us. We also bathed in a well and made cow dung swastikas in the temple in Bhandirvan where Radha and Krsna got married on a special day that can bestow fixing of all marital issues. We are trying our best to cover these bases.

ASA - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

We finished our preaching teaching workshop program. Very difficult, abs we fainted from emotional stress, but somehow Krsna sent some help in the form of one prabhu.

Meanwhile my husband tells my father he’s moved on and how to dismantle stuff and wants to stop paying for a home for me. One judge told me I should ask him for place to stay as it’s his legal responsibility. But he won’t agree and now I have to pay all rent money out of my pocket. They want me to stay in Mumbai alone and pay rent and take counselling. Lawyer told more things I’d like to share privately. Even after my father agreed to pay for rent and to leave me here, my husband is shouting at my father 😖. So I can either do a court case or pay full money as he isn’t agreeing to pay. After court case no chance of things working out.

Speaking with the judge made me feel like up till now a sorry can forgive most things, the real fight and damage begins here. I didn’t want to be there even though the odds are in my favor.

Will Krsna protect my marriage vows? I’m still here ready to do my job. Meanwhile due to fainting during our sankirtan of teaching workshop, our brhama muhurta chanting went out the window. Trying to revive this.

Please give us your blessings. Feeling so tormented. __/\o__

your aspiring servant,

Yajnaseni

HpS - If I can breath, I can chant. Do I want something separate from Krsna's Name? Can Krsna vanquish everyone of Kaliya's hoods. We made comments on the details of these topics earlier. Things seem just the same the way you are describing them, so our crumb, bum, bumbling comments are just the same.

We are happy!

You be happy. . . with Krsna. . . He is the best first, second ... 27th marriage. Others are His real or false [pooh, pooh, pootana] representatives.
