Hare Krishna, Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,Guru and Gouranga.

Happy Basant Panchami, Maharaj.

First of all very sorry Maharaja, that in past I was not able to put correct code and title , I am trying my best this time, hope you will not find trouble in finding it.

ASA - Yes. We are very stupid and have limited ability to answer letters, so we need these Priority Codes. Then we know that the people writing are reading the Kapi Dhvaja, attending the Full Morning Program, and so they are familiar with us and ASA and there questions and comments will have more relevance.

We as a family doing good by Krishna, Guru and all Vaishnava's mercy

We are chanting our rounds regularly, here H. G. Shayamsundar Prabhu early morning start the japa, and so many devotee, including kids, teen, youth, are joining regularly from different places , its so wonderful.

HpS -Super!

My daughter Saloni got admission here in University of Houston, she is planning to attain locally not thinking to go out of city, please bless her.

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna!!!

Son Divyansh he is in 9th, also doing great, he perform daily pooja , play mrdunga and we read Bhagvatam Sloka and translation and some purport and discuss the summary.

Maharaj, if I talk about myself, we as a devotee also sometime judge people, devotees or other family members who are not following ISKCON, we feel that since I am connected to Iskcon we know better then them and start judging, how can I correct that?

HpS - Just because you ask the question and are conscious that some vanity might enter, means that you are already acting to correct the problem. Krsna is helping you.

Just by following the process: Japa, four principles, early morning sadhana; you will have good intelligence to see the bad attitude rising in your heart and work to control it.

Also, if we think we are superior to others, we should think, "How can I serve them?". Giving them Srila Prabhupada is very great service. Then automatically we will appreciate that they are nice, just ignorant, actually more sincere than we are.

When we read pastimes of vaishnav we feel and think wow this is so nice, but at the time of practical , when we have to apply to application , we get fail and think that ohh this is not practical. please share your thought when you get time?

HpS - Jnana, vijnana. We understand how to ride a bicycle in theory, then we learn in practice. Almost always we pass from Jnana to Vijnana. It is normal. Go on hearing practicing and we advance. Every day we should see advancement. Every day we should be honoring Prasadam better.

Saranga has scheduled the initiations for Sunday 13th during the Sunday feast. Jason Starkey from Dallas will also be taking 1st initiation.

Very nice.

Waiting for your darshan soon here in Houston.

All Glories to your service.

Your Servant

Devendra and Sumitra

HpS - We are already planning filming our movie while we are there!!

Thank you.

Hari Bolo!

Wrote an entire DTC and then, the "labor saving device", robot, erased it!

Basically,

you gotta read the letters we write to others to get help for your own problems, because they are for you also.

Now, 11.55PM we will rest our aching head and remember our happy heart, and thank Guru and Gauranga that we have been able to participate in their Sankirtan!!!

Hare Krsna.

See you tomorrow in this world or another!

Hare Krishna, Beloved Gurudev!!

It's good idea talking to Eric about his father's library, and how giving it the best use in service.

We can speak about Ayurveda in the kali yuga, also we want to discuss rural development, vedic civilization in the modern world, Gurukula and puppet shows.

See you all soon,

Next letter with your association?

Thank you very much Guru Dev

We hope to be useful in your Sankirtan

your servant Ambarisa m Das and Vrsabhanu Nandini dd

HpS - You are very useful. We hope Hari-vamis and your tower both grow up straight and tall.

Hk pamho querido Guru Maharaja, ojalá sólo Ud. pueda contestarme las cartas, pensar en la respuesta de otra persona por más cualificada que estuviera, nunca sería lo mismo. 

En esta venida de Ud. en un momento al regreso de asokavan me sentí condenada sin derecho a defensa, puedo esperar eso de cualquiera menos de Ud. Lo voy a explicar con este ejemplo.

Mi peor experiencia en colegio, fue en uno donde las tutoras, sin preparación en docencia, generaban discordia entre alumnos y profesores. En ese entonces era muy nueva en ese servicio, escuche las recomendaciones de las tutoras, una de ella calificó de la peor forma a una estudiante, generando que yo tuviera un pre-concepto de la jovencita, después las profesoras y psicólogas explicaban que esas tutoras eran las peores de la institución, que yo debería descubrir y entablar desde cero el trato con una persona. Sin tacharla, antes de conocerla, aprendí mucho de esa experiencia. Por eso, al negarme la oportunidad de recibir sus consejos, me deprimí, decidí escribirle con detalle los sucesos, sin deseos de quedar bien con Ud. sino con el sincero deseo de aclarar la situación, decir la verdad de los hechos, sólo a Ud. Y a nadie más. ....

HpS - ASA - Edited

sinceros, confío en eso.

HK, pamho, dear Guru Maharaja, I hope only you can answer my letters, thinking about the response of another person, no matter how qualified, would never be the same.

In this coming of you at a time when I returned from asokavan I felt condemned without the right to defense, I can expect that from anyone but you. I will explain it with this example.

My worst experience in school was in one where the tutors, without preparation in teaching, generated discord between students and teachers. At that time I was very new to that service, I listened to the recommendations of the tutors, one of them described a student in the worst way, causing me to have a pre-concept of the young lady, later the teachers and psychologists explained that those tutors they were the worst in the institution, that I would have to discover and establish a relationship with a person from scratch. Without crossing her out, before I met her, I learned a lot from that experience. That is why, by denying me the opportunity to receive your advice, I became depressed, I decided to write you the events in detail, without wishing to make a good impression on you, but with the sincere desire to clarify the situation, to tell the truth of the facts, only to you. And no one else.

HpS - We have read the letter to this point, but you say that you want to "to tell the truth of the facts, only to you" but as we explain in the link in the Kapi Dhvaja about Letters to/from the Editor and have so often explained her, since we ar Brahmacaris and Sannyasis in this ASA we are only allowed short term contact with cultured members of the opposite sex, such as your esteemed self, only for short times.

So, we will edit the rest of the letter since it may contain things that you do not want published

and

you sent such a nice letter about these topics to us through Gandharva Das.

I think the concern is that certain devotees are encouraged, allowed, to make physical visits to us here in New Ashokavan and not others.

From the very begnning this has been a challenge. It has not diminished and will be more and more intense as we move toward boarding the United Airline's flight to Houston, Texas on March 7th.

With a large smile, I assure that what ever pressure you are experiencing in your service, we are experiencing with great intensity also.

We have gone through experiences in the last few days that force us to consider thar our entire life in Krsna consciousness, persona effort to serve Srila Prabhupada has been a failure.

Enough stress for you?

(Still smiling)

It has been heavy but...

.. also very purifying, things that we can even take with us to our next life, back to our service in Goloka!

I think we have honest understanding of your good self.

We want more.

Today Karuna krsna Das was here with Mathuresa Das and of course we were talking amongst many other things about the Ashrama in Chosica and he was contrasting the service of the devotees and mentioned your service with great respect but also pointing out that you have challenges.

Some people comment that Yugala kishora Dasi is a very social communicator (smile). Your nature is to get out and visit others.

O.K.

Others stay in the Ashrama and don't have chance of becoming contaminate.

Both positions have their good and bad aspects.

We have to learn how to purify our nature and connect it with Krsna.

Adjusting who is visiting, who is not visiting. Making final adjustments to the movie. Planning for Houston etc.

Keeping Full Morning and Evening Program daily is becoming great challenge.

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Nityananda you must become a devotee on the level of Visnupriya.

Now it is 10.23PM.

Today we were up about 1AM. We chanted some strong rounds. We worked on our art techniques.

FMP.

Joined and learned so much from Srinivasa Das' class.

Talked with five different devotees from Houston and got the calendar 90% undercontrol.

Met with Mathuresa Das and Karuna Krsna Das for about 2-1/2 hours to deal with all the Yatra necessities and enrich our personal frienships.

Nap...... Up and joined the program from Nashville which was heart touching. We really miss them and are all counting the days until we meet, 19th March.

Then few minutes to try to deal with this wonderful ASA Blog Sanga, then map from 11PM to 1AM and then the fun begins again.

As you suggested in our exchange with Gandhava Das, the three of us can talk. Would be very nice.

Basically everythings seems fine, normal, disease in recuperation.

Thank you for your association.

Purify your service.

Learn to use devotees as consultants with clear understanding of their particular points of view.

Thank you.

Hare Krsna!

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I just wanted to write a quick note before bed to tell you that I am very excited to serve you!! I am very much looking forward to it!!

[[[ASA - Ha! Ha! Ja! He doesn't know us.]]]

I'm chanting all my rounds, FMP daily, and I'm following the 4 "princely pals". 🙂

ASA - Related to the three Kings of Orient they are.

Oh! Also, there was a new family that came to the temple asking for a tour, and I gave them that, and they left with a Bhagavad Gita and an entire Srimad Bhagavatam set!!

ASA

Oink!

Mangal attendance has increased!! We're up from 3 or 4 to sometimes 7 or 8!

ASA - Great! Nine is sublime.

Oh plus, Gopal Prabhu has really inspired everyone. He asks us to Really Look at Radha Kalachandji.... and then he gives us a quiz before Tulasi Puja.

It's so fun! I love it! And now I can see if Radha and Govinda have matching ruby rings, does Lord Balaram have His club today, etc!!

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva!

Your aspiring servant,

Jason

ASA - Jaya, Gopal!!

See you in The Temple,

Nitya-ananda Trayodasi.
