Letters to the editor

Querido Maharaja, es un gusto tremendo saludarlo y poder contactarme con usted por este medio. Siempre agradecida de esta hermosa oportunidad que nos brinda. ¡Hare Krsna!

Primero que todo, agradecerle por sus respuestas en la carta anterior. Cada palabra me hace mucho sentido y agradezco mucho cada una de ellas. Cuando leo sus respuestas siempre entro en un humor de mucha admiración, ternura y alegría. ¡GRACIAS INFINITAS! 💟

Habían muchas cosas que quería contarle en la carta anterior. Ahora voy con la segunda parte de mis aventuras 😅

¡Estoy de vacaciones por fin! Hahaha... Necesitaba mucho descansar, desconectarme del trabajo, y darme un tiempo para volver a comenzar. Tiendo a ser una persona que necesita mucha rutina y estructura (Tambien harto Pitta hay en mí), y cuando esa estructura no está, se desmorona todo dentro y fuera de mí (Me ha pasado este último tiempo, y como he funcionado a "piloto automático", todo ha estado muy inestable en mi interior).

He comenzado a leer hartos libros interesantes en relación al poder de los hábitos ("Atomic Habits" de James Clear es excelente!) y cómo el mantener estos buenos hábitos nos ayuda día a día a lograr nuestros propósitos. Cuando comencé a leer recordé la palabra "Sadhana".

Y hablando de eso, he vuelto a mi "sadhana" (lentamente), con la intención, por supuesto, de retomar mi estandar "ideal", adoptando buenos hábitos.

Tengo 3 bellas Tulasis a mi cuidado. Son una verdadera bendición. Llegaron hace un año como semillas las cuales hice brotar y cuidé desde pequeñas. Mi humilde servicio es cantarles, hablarles con amor, regarlas y mantenerlas cómodas en estas latitudes tan frías (Gracias a Krsna sobrevivieron el invierno de Chile 🙌).

Por otro lado, justo hoy cuando leímos en el FMP a la Reina Kunthi, se reflexionó sobre el cuerpo material. Este último tiempo he sido muy descuidada con mi cuerpo físico. Por lo que, con las vacaciones me he propuesto mantener ciertas acciones (Gracias al Ayurveda 💖

) que me permiten cuidar de mejor manera este cuerpo, alimentándolo bien, fortaleciéndolo, desarrollándolo de manera sana y, finalmente, amándolo. Al final, el cuerpo material es de Krsna, por lo tanto, hay que cuidarlo y servirlo, no?

Esperó no haber alargado mucho la carta 😋

! Muchas gracias por todo, Maharaja!!! Espero Krsna me permita poder ir a visitarlo a donde esté 🤗! Que Nrisimhadev lo protega eternamente.

¡Radhe Radhe!

Se despide su eterna y agradecida sirvienta,

Bh. Nicole.

Dear Maharaja, it is a tremendous pleasure to greet you and to be able to contact you by this means. Always grateful for this beautiful opportunity that it gives us. Hare Krsna!

First of all, thank you for your answers in the previous letter. Each word makes a lot of sense to me and I am very grateful for each one of them. When I read your answers I always get into a mood of great admiration, tenderness and joy. INFINITE THANKS! 💟

HpS - ASA - AgtSP!! paoho.

There were many things I wanted to tell you in the previous letter. Now I'm going with the second part of my adventures 😅

I'm on vacation at last! Hahaha... I really needed to rest, disconnect from work, and give myself some time to start over. I tend to be a person who needs a lot of routine and structure (I also have a lot of Pitta in me), and when that structure is not there, everything falls apart inside and outside of me (It has happened to me lately, and since I have functioned as a "pilot automatic", everything has been very unstable inside me).

I've started reading lots of interesting books about the power of habits ("Atomic Habits" by James Clear is excellent!) and how maintaining these good habits helps us achieve our goals every day. When I started reading I remembered the word "Sadhana".

And speaking of which, I have returned to my "sadhana" (slowly), with the intention, of course, of returning to my "ideal" standard, adopting good habits.

I have 3 beautiful Tulasis in my care. They are a true blessing. They arrived a year ago as seeds which I sprouted and took care of since I was little. My humble service is to sing to them, speak to them with love, water them and keep them comfortable in these cold latitudes (Thanks to Krsna they survived the winter in Chile 🙌).

On the other hand, just today when we read Queen Kunthi in the FMP, she reflected on the material body. This last time I have been very careless with my physical body. So, with the holidays I have proposed to maintain certain actions (Thanks to Ayurveda 💖) that allow me to take better care of this body, feeding it well, strengthening it, developing it in a healthy way and, finally, loving it. In the end, the material body belongs to Krsna, therefore, you have to take care of it and serve it, right?

ASA - Yes!

He hoped he hadn't lengthened the letter too much 😋

! Thank you very much for everything, Maharaja!!! I hope Krsna allows me to visit him wherever he is 🤗! May Nrisimhadev protect him eternally.

Radhe Radhe!

He says goodbye to his eternal and grateful servant,

Bh. Nicole.

ASA - Jaya!!! 16-nice rounds!!!! Step by step!!!

Let us read another letter!!



Hare Krishna, Dear Guru Maharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada & All glories to you.

* 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 started classes today... We had a very nice welcome for the students... They are very happy to back to school...

This Friday my group (1st grade) will have a special welcome ceremony. This is a very important event for the school. The kids will meet their teacher for the next 6 years... I prepared some gifts for them. And after the ceremony I have to tell them a story, I create, about this event. I take a commitment with them and they accept me as their teacher.

My sadhana is good. I can keep this rhythm since our classes start a little bit late. My health is ok. We are getting more fixed in our diet (mood of goodness).

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette)

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

Ptrk -- It is never too much.. we are very happy and grateful for this wonderful service. Actually, we are always waiting for this bulletin.

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

EDT -- Yes!! Whatever is easier and practical for you. We can try and experiment.

"....Send me your whatsapp 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..."

HpS - Got it! Will Whatsapp you. Talk with you!!!

We are in Punto Negrito, Peru.

Health is good for 1 74 year old donkey.

Packing to go to USA.

PAMHO & AGTSP

I ask about a Oxford research from Oxford University that you mencion on your classes. This professor give very positives comentaries about the Bhagavat Purana. I need know the name and where I can get this quotes to use in my academic studies.

Ys,

Maha Krsna |Nam das

HpS - AGTSP - paoho. I was probably quoting a personal comment that Professor Narasimha Rao made to Radhika ramana Das.

That would not be too useful in rigorous academic work.

Prof. David Haberman's Introduction to his commentary on Bhakti rasa amrta sindu is tremendous.

Hare Krishna Maharj

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I start already to work again, try to chant all my rounds and read a bit in the BG, befor i start working.

i have a question from BG: 18.66 : Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.

1.Abandon all varities of religion, how can this understand a person from a other religion? like cristian or musulman ...e.t.c

HpS - It is a very common doubt. I think Srila Prabhupada is saying abandon all customary social responsibilities and so called religious duties fo sense gratification or liberation.

2.In our case we are also following a religion, so is Krishna talking about that KC is not to compare with a religion?

HpS - Same answer as above.

01.03.22 is Shiva Ratri, what is the best that we can do at this special day for please the greatest devotee of Krishna.

ASA - Read SB Canto 4, Chapter 6. 🙂

Write here with any thoughts about your reading.



thank you

Ys Bh.Dave

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva! 🙏🏻

Please, accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

As I told you a few days ago on Full Morning Program, finally we got a full pdf version of "Waves of Devotion" from Dhanurdhara Swami's disciple.

As you suggested...I asked Abhinanda das to participate in our team in order to help us in some areas and he agreed.

Also, Candramukhi dd asked to participate.

Now, we are a team of seven devotees: Abhinanda das, Mitravinda dd, Apsara Gopi dd, Candramukhi dd, Rohini dd, Isvari Radha dd and Sita Lalita dd.

It is OK?

HpS - All we can observe is that this is a super important project. This book has helped us so much in our spiritual growth, that it should be done even if there are faults.

Maybe you can divide up the work and then review to see the quality of the translation and the continuity of the style.

🤔 🙂 🙂 🙂

Also, you told me that our brother Jayanta prabhu from Spain can help.

Please, would you clarify me how can he help us?

Should I contact him now?

We are about to start the work..

Please, your blessings, Gurudeva 🙏🏻

Thank you, for your help and mercy..

HARE KRISHNA!!!

Mitravinda dd.
