Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaja, please accept my humble and respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and you!

I am Damian from Cordoba.

At the suggestion of some devotees I am writing to you on WhatsApp.

I wanted to tell you that I just met Adi Yajña das. I already have my japa mala that you sent me. I am very happy as it is like meeting you. I will not open the envelope until the day of initiation.

I want to tell you that on Gaura Purnima, on March 17, there is going to be a sacrificial fire in Córdoba, officiated by Kesava Swami Maharaja, accompanied by a devotee named Kripamoya, a disciple of Bhakti Bhusana Swami. And there will be all the devotees of the yatra who are more or less 20-25 and some guests.

I wanted to ask you if you think it's a good idea that we can meet by video call that day of Gaura Purnima, according to your availability, at the time you can... I can send you a ZOOM invitation or some other virtual means...

Or do you have any other ideas?

Without more I say goodbye. Excuse me for writing to you by this means, I hope it is a good reason.

His would-be servant. Damián

HpSwami - Thank you. Best system is to write to Blog and the notify us of the post by WhatsApp.

Letter seems O. K.

I have to be online during fire sacrifice to take your vows and give you your name.

When will be the sacrifice?

paoho

We still have letters from one week ago, but it is 10PM.

We are probably rather lazy,

but also we take up a lot of Sankirtan work and so our body gets exhausted.

We are back in USA now.

So many devotees and tasks here in Houston.

Our body seems to becoming very sensitive. Cannot push it.

We get big headaches.

Vertigo.

Now our eyes are finished.

Thank you for the letters.

We will try to answer more!

Good night!!

Gurudeva, Some confidential news about my situation

HpS - Edited...

Su sirviente

Piyari Mohan das

HpS - There really does not seem to be anything in your nice letter that could not be published.

Jung would include moral responsibility in the actions of his patients.

I think Freud would not.

Yes, when we are sick we cannot control our body.

We may have diahrea or uncontroled anger,

but how much is involuntary and how much was under our control.

That is important to understand.

We should not give up on Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON. We just have to develop a more and more mature understanding of what it is and how we can serve it.

In the hospital some people must be avoided etc.

More news!

Very sincerely take the steps to correct any mistakes that you made.



All Glories To Sri Sri Gour Nitay!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to You!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances, I am Danistha devi dasi from Santiago, Chile. Yesterday I read again this paragraph

(...) Los planes son grandes enemigos del Maha-mantra. Planea cantar Hare-Krishna. De otra forma solo rechaza cualquier plan. El Maha-mantra hará los planes que esto necesite. Hay un futuro? Hay un pasado? Son reconocidos como pensamientos. Dejen que el Maha-mantra los reúna como a Él le gusta...encuentra a Srimati Radharani. Ella quiere danzar con Sus Amigas para Krsna y Sus Amigos, pero no lo puede hacer porque a sido raptada por ese bribón de Ravana...

Lee el libro de Krsna 1008 veces...(...)

Del libro "Desde Rusia con amor" de Hanumatpresaka Swami.

and I have a cuestion, why You wrote that Ravana kidnaped Radharani, if Radharani is in Krishna lila, and Ravana in Ramayana?, Sita is Laksmi Devi right?, but also in some way Radharani, right?, Ravana is the same personality that Someone in Krishna Lila?

Thank You so much Guru Maharaja, I hope You are Well,

Your servant,

Danistha devi dasi.

HpS - I don't know what I wrote so long ago!! Yet, as you say Sita is an expansion of Radha. In Vrndavana there is a place, Kamya van, and there Radha and Krsna and all Their friends play Rama lila, forever! Maybe Sridama, Her brother, becomes Ravana and kidnaps Her.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaj

AgtSP, pamho

Maharaj

I hope you are well,

My name is Katherine, I am 25, I am from Santiago de Chile,

I wanted to thank you for the opportunity of service with Rupa Goswami's painting, it was a nice experience.

HpS - It was very nice. We are trying to organize book distribution and use the picture for the cover!

Currently for a month I am in Valeria del Mar, it is a very nice place near Mar del Plata, I am visiting some relatives who are disciples of Bhakti Bhusana Swami, you may remember them, they are Paramesvara and Janaki, once, when they lived in Chile, you visited us in the apartment in front of the temple, and you talked about education, it was in 2019.

HpS - Big tall building in front of the Temple?? I don't remember going there. Was he Pujari for some time?

A long time ago I wanted to write to you, but I didn't know how to start or what to tell you, so, I studied plastic arts for 4 years at the universidad de Chile, then I paused my studies due to academic doubts and to that the pandemic was added, but this year I have been thinking about resuming studies to learn more and finish it.

I learned about Krsna consciousness through my uncle Paramesvara, who told me about Krsna and the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, when I was a child I saw among the books of him, your book desde rusia con amor, I was curious about the drawings and what you wrote. I also keep a small handmade book of poetry, it is green with Radha Krsna on the cover.

Here, my uncles and their young children, have a stable sadhana, worship of the deity, reading of Srimad Bhagavatam and japa. Living this time at this pace has been very comforting, healing and educational from many perspectives.

about art

I have had the opportunity to paint some deities, and learn with a friend, (Yasmin, who is also devoted) about muralism, we painted Krsna Balarama, and recently she painted a beautiful mural of Lord Caitanya in the temple of Santiago.

I really like the art of Dhrti dasi and Ramdas Abhiram das there is also an Italian painter who made beautiful paintings where he plays with lights in nature and colors, his name is Vincenzo Irolli.

HpS - I also like Mata Dhrti Dasi's paintings. I even met her one time!!

As I had mentioned, I had had academic doubts about whether I really wanted to dedicate myself to art, fortunately I have been able to recover that taste and affection, seeing how Krsna acts and interacts with us through the different skills and circumstances.

Despite all this, I would like to have more enthusiasm and energy, to be more committed.

I often have you in my thoughts, I remember your classes, teachings and songs. I always wish your well-being with affection and respect.

I hope to have good news about you soon,

Your would be servant

Katherine

HpS - Nice to meet you. I think any disciple of Srila Prabhupada is just transmitting one ray of Srila Prabhupada's character. Has different aspects.

Hare

Krsna!!!
