Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, Dear GuruMaharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada & All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances.

As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

Hare Krsna!!!

We back to work! It seems our health is ok so we can back to school.. this year I will start with a new group of kids (6/7 years old). It is a challenge. It's our first time working with very young kids.

Additionally, the school asked me to be the teachers' coordinator. We are trying to organise everything before classes start.

It was really really really great to see you and many devotees on Nityananda Trayodasi festival. We missed that kind of association. It gave us a lot of energy and strength.

Our sadhana and worship is ok. Thanks to Krsna our schedule at work does not interfere with that.

*In our last talk, you told me about your work on NoI-tpp. I am very interested in reading and studying that document. How can I get a copy of that, if it possible?

Thanks a lot for everything you do to help us to continue this path.

HpS ' TlgaSP. I feel that whatever you do for us is mercy for for insignificant members of Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan party. Thank you.

If it is too much burden, let us adjust so that it does not molest your other work.

If you are purified by Srila Prabhupada's principles, then Krsna will send innocent people, children, teacher, and they will be patient to understand the natutere of this world, Atma and Paramatma.

We are too weak now to always use the computer, so writing the Kapi Dhvaja manually was a great opportunity.

We were wondering how you could deal with it!.

Send me your whatasapp phone number here. We lost our address book, I will not publish it, and then we can send a copy of the TPP to you for your review.

Jaya.

Hare Krishna Dandavat pranam,

I was hospitalised on 16th feb due to kidney stone. Luckily the stone came down on the track and next day it came out. Then my sugar level came up to 700. In the meantime I got throat infection. Medical treatment is going on. Guruji, actually it is Maya sansar duties on the other hand I fought the yamaduths in my dream and they tried to pull me to yamaraj. Then bhagavan Vishnu's bhaktas stoped the yamaduths and sent me again to martalok for further continuation of Maya Marta karma. It all happens with the help of Your guru kripa. I'm physically weak from one month but not due to Corona. I have tested negative. Please give me strength to serve guruparampara, gaurangamahaprabhu and my radhakrishna.

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

PAMHO. AGTSP.

I hope you are well and in good health, or as better as is possible. 

It's very good for my life in general to connect every day to your online programs, thank you very much dear and respected Maharaja and all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I have many things to tell You, but this letter is exclusively focused on the Nityananda Trayodasi, Iskcon Chile, 2022 Festival, and the tribute we'll make to Rodrigo, remembering 3 exact years since his departure to Vaikuntha.

These have been very intense days to be able to coordinate and manage everything related to this Monday's big event, management in Chile is very complex due to restrictions and capacity, etc. This last Friday I was almost 4 hrs. at the Iskcon Santiago Mandir, I was able to speak and have interesting executive production conversations with the main devotees matajis and prabhujis in charge of the temple and it has been very rewarding, devotees love Rodrigo very much and have shown real enthusiasm to support the tribute to him, so the preview atmosphere is very motivating.

Although, because the capacity it's restricted, we can have 70 people approx in outdoor patios and the inner room it's restricted to 25 people, but the whole event from the bhajans and the abhishek until the end will be done all outside in the front patio.

We'll be online via zoom with You, Abhirama Thakur Das and Jagad Guru Das from just before 4:30 p.m. Peru time (the class you will give will start at 4:30 p.m. Peru time).

This zoom meeting in which we'll all be connected will be broadcast simultaneously through the Facebook Fan Page Iskcon Chile and will also transmit "live" through my social networks and those of Dharma Communications.

During the tribute we'll launch the book "El Universo Mágico de Rodrigo", which is the literary tribute that we have prepare to Rodrigo and that was published in the fifth edition of Solaris magazine and that, later, we decided to release as an offprint.

This book is supported by Nios, Solaris and all Your disciples in Peru and Chile and this is only thanks to Your infinite mercy, Maharaja, thank you very much for everything, simply words are few enough to express what overflows from the heart.

And we have had the honor of having the collaboration of Mr. Raúl Zurita, one of the most important contemporary writers and poets in Chile and South America, writing words and a poem to Rodrigo. I attach images and links.

The event will start at 3:00 p.m. Peru time and Your class will start at 16:30 Peru time. We'll do an online broadcast via zoom and facebook.

So, I send You the program with the schedules in Peru time (in Chile it is 2 hours more):

(at the end of this message we include the zoom coordinates to online connection)

HpS - AgtSP! Paoho. This is so much work for you and for Krsna. Be sure to give Krsna enough rest, exercise and nice diet!! Everyone here is looking forward to joining this program.

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Switzerland is a crazy country when you look at the atheistic and materialistic peoples lifestyle.

i recently had some experiences with some old friends and family members. i realized that it's not the same with our relationship like before.

But i still want to stay in touch with my old friends. And when i have the opportunity, i try to cook prasadam for them.

HpS - Yes!!! If someone is nice that means that they have some KC, even if it is not so direct.

I read in the Upadeśāmṛta in verse-2. It mentions:

   A person's devotional service becomes spoiled if he becomes too much involved in the following six activities one of them....--> associating with worldly-minded persons who are not interested in Kṛṣṇa consciousness

But I know it is very difficult to avoid this, especially when working and living with materialistic people together, because there are for the moment not other options.

HpS - Krsna understands that and will give you extra help. Also, He will move you into a better community.

As much as possible give them Radha's association rather than taking Maya's association from them.

I try to visit the devotees as often as possible in the temple, for have a good asociación.

HpS - Super!!!

Expect rapid progress!

Todas las glorias a Sri Sri Guru y Gauranga

Hare krsna querido Gurudeva, pamho, este es mi reporte después de unas semanas de reflexión y aceptación de mi destino.

Empezamos a recuperar el sadhana algunos días nos levantamos a las 4am, otras a las 6 am y otra a las 7am, estamos cantando 12 a 14 rondas, gayatris estamos cantando 3 veces al dia o aveces 2 veces, recuperamos nuestra lectura del srimad bagavatam canto 3. 31. 28, por miericordia de krsna tenemos gusto por leer el bagavatam dia a dia, ahora seguimos nuestra lectura y todavía no recupero los ekadasis, adorando a gaura nitay y deidad de nrshinja, ofreciendo alimentos con tulasi.

En el dia trabajo en una empresa de telecomunicaciones, el ambiente no es estresante y el sueldo tampoco es bueno jajaja, pero me siento tranquila, mi trabajo queda 5 minutos de mi casa, compañeros karmis son agradables. Para una chica viviendo sola el sueldo no es malo. Le comento que estoy terminando de construir un pequeño departamento que me dio mi padre para poder alquilarlo

Estoy estudiando ingles por las noches, estoy pensando irme a vivir lejos de perú, mi primera opción es india, a esta edad, necesito entrar a otra etapa de mi vida, formar una familia, tener mucha asociación de devotos, estar en un lugar sagrado. Aquí en esta ciudad no tengo asociación de devotos, he pensando estar en perú solo este año.

En realidad no tengo el deseo de estar en perú, por eso necesito terminar la construcción de mi casa de lima y alquilarlo para poder tener un ingreso cuando me vaya a otro país.

Actualmente krsna me envió una ayuda muy linda de mi hermana espiritual, mantendré en reserva su nombre, en verdad ella me esta ayudando a recuperar mi vida espiritual y por ella me inspiré a traer a mis deidades a esta ciudad donde actualmente vivo.

Me estoy refugiando en mi hermana espiritual, ella es muy buena, ahora no me siento sola, me siento como si prabhupada me quiere proteger y ayudar y por eso estoy tomando esta ayuda.

Bueno querido gurudeva, gracias por su asociación, mi promesa es mejorar el sadhana y las 16 rondas y completar los gayatris, leer bagavatam. Le estaré informando en las sgtes semanas sobre mi avance en conciencia de krsna

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Hare krsna dear Gurudeva, pamho, this is my report after a few weeks of reflection and acceptance of my destiny.

We start to recover the sadhana some days we get up at 4am, others at 6am and another at 7am, we are chanting 12 to 14 rounds, gayatris we are chanting 3 times a day or sometimes 2 times, we recover our reading of the srimad bagavatam I sing 3. 31. 28, by the mercy of krsna we like to read the bagavatam day by day, now we continue our reading and still haven't recovered the ekadasis, worshiping gaura nitay and deity of nrshinja, offering food with tulasi.

 During the day I work in a telecommunications company, the environment is not stressful and the salary is not good either, hahaha, but I feel calm, my work is 5 minutes from my house, fellow karmis are nice. For a girl living alone the salary is not bad. I tell him that I am finishing building a small apartment that my father gave me to be able to rent it.

I am studying English at night, I am thinking of going to live far from Peru, my first option is India, at this age, I need to enter another stage of my life, start a family, have a lot of association of devotees, be in a sacred place . Here in this city I have no association of devotees, I have thought of being in Peru only this year.

Actually I don't have the desire to be in Peru, so I need to finish the construction of my house in Lima and rent it to be able to have an income when I go to another country.

Currently Krsna sent me a very nice help from my spiritual sister, I will keep her name in reserve, in truth she is helping me to recover my spiritual life and because of her I was inspired to bring my deities to this city where I currently live.

I am taking refuge in my god sister, she is very good, now I don't feel alone, I feel as if prabhupada wants to protect me and help me and that is why I am taking this help.

Well dear gurudeva, thanks for her association, my promise is to improve sadhana and 16 rounds and complete gayatris, read bagavatam. I will be informing you in the next few weeks about my advancement in krsna consciousness

HpS - 🙂 🙂  .🙂.  🙂 🙂 Very nice. The root of everything is Hari Kirtan, Japa. The more we occupy in that the more our Varna and Ashrama situations will become clear. Is so nice to read with other devotees. We read every day here morning and evening.

For two days it has been Varaha from the Third Canto.

Of course, it is very natural to discuss the Purports.

Get more and more senior and junior devotees in your circle of hearing and chanting!!!

At the time of death there is only you and Krsna

Learn to live alone with Him now.

He is your only lover.

We wait for your next report.

Expect miracles.
