Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Dear Gurudev, this year you planned of consolidating your sankirtan by filming a movie. Diary of a traveling creature, The ultimate trip. You make Srila Prabhupada accessible to me and with him to all The Guru Parampara. This project indicates, as you have said several times, that your time on this planet is coming to an end. You have given so much, your intelligence will spread through my entire generation and the next !!

When I read this in the introduction to the SB I automatically thought of you !!

"The only thing one has to do is to hear from a self-realized soul with a routine program. The teacher may also deliver lectures from the Vedic literatures, following in the footsteps of the bygone ācāryas who realized the Absolute Truth. Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommended this simple method of self-realization generally known as Bhāgavata-dharma. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the perfect guide for this purpose."

It is true that one cannot take all that the Guru offers !! But maybe due to your causeless mercy I can grab a little bit of it!!

Infinite mercy to have known you !!

Your proud would-be Servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Querido Gurudev, este año usted planeó consolidar su sankirtan, filmando una película. Diario de una criatura viajera, El viaje definitivo. Usted hace que Srila Prabhupada me sea accesible y con el a todo El Gurú Parampara. Este proyecto indica, como usted dijo varias veces, que su tiempo en éste planeta está llegando a su fin. Usted ha dado tanto, su inteligencia se expandirá a través de toda mi generación y la siguiente!!

Cuando leí esto en la introducción del SB automáticamente pensé en usted!!

"Lo único que uno tiene que hacer es oír a un alma autorrealizada, mediante un programa diario. A su vez, el maestro puede dictar conferencias sobre la base de las Escrituras védicas, siguiendo los pasos de los ācāryas anteriores que llegaron a comprender la Verdad Absoluta. El Señor Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recomendó ese sencillo método de autorrealización, generalmente conocido como bhāgavata-dharma. El Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam es la guía perfecta para ese propósito."

Es cierto que uno no puede tomar todo lo que el Gurú ofrece!! Pero tal vez por su misericordia sin causa, pueda obtener un poco de ello.

Infinita misericordia de haberlo conocido!!

Su orgulloso aspirante a Sirviente,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Thank you!!! We hope to see you soon, but really our energy is diminishing and we suspect that our meetings will be more and more by the paramatma net.

Become a paramahamsa. It is easier than being a conditioned soul, no?

Hare Krishna Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

September is almost finished. This Saturday is the Ratha Yatra, in Madrid.

I have started school with the same children than last year, so they already know about Krishna. Today we have done a beautiful bhajan with karatalas, maracas, mrindanga and sticks. Since I worked a lot on Krishna’s pastimes with them, this year I am starting to teach them more about singing with instruments, Tulasi and another characters like Garuda, Hanuman (they know a little bit from last year), Ramacandra and Sita. Is this ok?

During the weekends, we continue with the Sat Sangas at home. And. Very soon, in October, I am going to start the Club Nityananda, a club for children and teens in which, following the book “Becoming your devotee”, we are going to talk about diferente topics. Some of the lesson will be taken during the Sat Sanga, but, once a month we will visit a Museum or exposition related to the topic. For example, the first month we are going to visit an exposition about how artists have represented the human body during diferente ages. The poster has a paint of Krishna with Tilak on and, since the first unit is about tilak, the kids will have to look for the picture of Krishna with the tilak on into de Museum. After that visit, we will give some books on the street and then, right to the Temple to have Prasadam and to participate in the Sunday Feast. Another weekend of the month, we will go to Nueva Vrajamandala, where we will represent a drama. The first month drama will be Krishna’s Headache. I will count with the collaboration of Narottama prabhu and other devotees form Nueva Vrajamandala and Madrid. What do you think about this? Any advice? Thanks in advance!

About Solaris, I am trying to do my best. It is very nice to have Jitendriya prabhu working on this too. We are thinking about how to get the magazine in the Spanish academic world. I hope we will be able to please you somehow.

Hoping you are fine when reading this message.

To your service,

Purnamasi devi dasi

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

 PAMHO- AGTSP! I’ve been delayed in reaching out. I hope you are doing well! My family is well (dad’s been alright, he doesn’t go to the temple as much anymore). My mom is chanting her rounds everyday and cut her hours at work to be able to finish her 16 rounds. She’s really putting in all her effort.

I was visiting Portugal last 2 weeks and spent Radhastami doing kirtan with the devotees. SUCH a nice and warm community. I didn’t even know it was Radhastami because it was the day before in the US so I went in for darshan but there was a whole program! It was a perfect last day there.

Nothing new to report, most of my services have been linked to the Baltimore temples projects (the vegan prasadam truck specifically) and I’ve been keeping up with readings and chanting. The weather is changing and Sita Ram have been running through my mind a lot. while I was traveling I recall reading a story about SP and how a devotee was being deprogramed by a witch and the devotee chanted the maha mantra, the Narsimha prayers, and finally she chanted SPs pranam mantra and the witch’s powers abruptly stopped. The witch said she saw an old man standing wagging his finger at her. That story gave me a sense of reassurance (as I’ve mentioned I don’t always feel close to SP) but I’ve been meditating on that a lot. I also had a dream where you showed up, I offered obeisance and you put your hand on my head last night. It was truly a heartwarming moment. I thank you maharaj for manifesting and your blessings. I know I could be doing so much more and better and I aim to do so. Please keep me engaged, and thank you for your mercy.

<pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">Hare krishna Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances. I apologize for my absence in the online activities, howevere I see your ee inspiring classes on you tube, for now I am doing sankirtan as my main service, also my mother and I make offerings of enchiladas, quesadillas, milk and cookies, the holy name is something so so so great! Hare Krishna! The results of Sankirtan are 650 pocket books (Science of Self-Realization, Journey to Self-knowledge), 3 Maha Big (Bhagavad Gita), 13 Maha Maha Big (SB), 30 magazines, for now it is all Gurudeva, There is nothing like seeing it in person, if Krsna fills my pockets maybe I can go to Peru in case I can help in the movie. For my part, I will not talk about what they say lately about me, if someone else has formal complaints they never reached me. Well dear Gurudeva thank you a thousand times for your mercy, I hope one day to become a worthy disciple of your Grace. His Eternal Servant Sacinandan Das </pre>
