Querido Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Teniendo en cuenta que está sobrepasado de servicio trataré de ser conciso.

En primer lugar quiero decirle que es una gran alegría saber que vendrá en 2022 y pienso que la fecha prevista para venir a España me parece buena. Aunque Julio es, posiblemente, el mes mas caluroso del año, en NVM ya suele tener noches y mañanas agradables. Además a partir de esa fecha el calor suele ir remitiendo. Por otro lado si se quiere hacer algo en las universidades, que estaría muy bien, pienso que Octubre sería bueno. A finales de septiembre se empiezan a incorporar los alumnos, así que si se quiere hacer algo tendría que ser a principios de octubre.

Leo el blog y el KD regularmente y pienso que el blog es uno de sus servicios mas importantes, ya que se establecen respuestas filosóficas a la mayoría de problemas que solemos tener y mantiene a los discipulos en una sintonía común, además de informados de su sankirtana y del sankirtan de otros devotos. Cuando el seguidor del blog recibe contestación a sus cartas, generalmente, es una inyección de entusiasmo en su vida espiritual y aumenta su sentimiento de "pertenencia" a la familia de ISKCON. Sinceramente pienso que ya hace tiempo que tendría que haber recibido ayuda en este servicio de contestar las cartas.Tal como Prabhupada lo hacía pienso que es lo ideal; el era el devoto más práctico que conocemos. No entiendo porque usted tiene que leer las cartas en el ordenador y contestarlas en la pantalla. El cuerpo y la mente ya no dan para tanto. Usted puede estar sentado en un sillón o una mecedora y un devoto va leyendo las cartas y usted va dictando la contestación. No parece muy complicado.

En cuanto la "Tava pache pache" he leido unas páginas y parece una aportación muy interesante para la comunidad vaisnava. Pienso que antes de imprimir la versión en español hay que mirar muchas veces y evitar todos los errores posibles. O hacer una impresión pequeña que luego pueda ser revisada y perfeccionada mas adelante. Aunque un devoto no le da mucha importancia a los errores, es cierto que cuando vemos un error en un libro la edición pierde algo de credibilidad.

No lo entretengo mas de momento.

Esperando que su conexión con Paramatma sea fluida se despide

Dear Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP and his loyal fans.

Bearing in mind that he is overworked I will try to be concise.

HpS - AGTSP! paoho. We try to fix priorities and not be overworked. 🙂

First of all I want to tell you that it is a great joy to know that you will come in 2022 and I think that the scheduled date to come to Spain seems good to me. Although July is possibly the hottest month of the year, NVM already usually has pleasant nights and mornings. Also from that date the heat tends to subside. On the other hand, if you want to do something in the universities, which would be very good, I think October would be good. At the end of September the students begin to join, so if you want to do something it would have to be at the beginning of October.

HpS - Now it seems the best we can do is 15 July to 1st October. Ten weeks.

I read the blog and the KD regularly and I think that the blog is one of its most important services, since it establishes philosophical answers to most of the problems that we usually have and keeps the disciples in common harmony, in addition to being informed of their sankirtana. and the sankirtan of other devotees. When the blog follower receives a reply to his letters, it is usually an injection of enthusiasm into his spiritual life and increases his feeling of "belonging" to the ISKCON family. I sincerely think that he should have received help in this service of answering the letters a long time ago. As Prabhupada did, I think that is the ideal; He was the most practical devotee we know of. I don't understand why you have to read the letters on the computer and answer them on the screen. The body and the mind no longer give so much. You may be sitting in an armchair or a rocking chair and a devotee is reading the letters and you are dictating the answer. It doesn't seem very complicated.

HpS - Prabhupada didn't start that until he had many disciples, and could have one of them travel with him as a trained secretary. Definitely we will have to be using secretaries if our Sankirtan continues.

As for the "Tava pache pache" I have read a few pages and it seems a very interesting contribution for the Vaisnava community. I think that before printing the Spanish version you have to look many times and avoid all possible errors. Or make a small print that can later be revised and refined later. Although a devotee does not give much importance to errors, it is true that when we see an error in a book the edition loses some credibility.

HpS - Yes! Thank you. The Nobel Laureate in literature, Albert Camus, said that unless you review your work at least six times you are a coward. The English version has passed through these phases and now it is ready to be distributed to critics for their comments. After including their suggestions we will go for mass distribution. With your help we can try to pass the Spanish edition through the same stages.

Thank you! 🙏 🐰

I am not entertaining [detaining] him [your good self] anymore for now.

Hoping that his connection with Paramatma is fluid, he says goodbye

Jayanta das

Hare Krsna!

Gouranga Mahaprabhu ki Jai, Radha-Krsna ki Jai, Goura Bhakta Vrinda ki Jai

All glories to Srila A.C. Prabhupada, Bhakti Svarupa Sripad Maharaja and

HpS Guru Maharaja!

Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisanses unto the Padmacharan of Sri Guruji Maharja that I am so pleased to hear Guruji Maharaja’s reply to my previous letter.

As Guruji Maharaja asked : “The basic principle is to take shelter of Lord Chaitanya and Harinam. That is sufficient, no?” Yes, it is the only solution. Guruji gave me Harinam and Gayatri Mantra, it is true, but by chanting Harinam and Gayatri Mantra only will I get Chaitanya’s mercy without Nityananda? Even the 8 sakhis and 8 manjaris never meet Sri Krish without Srimati Radharani and Her permission.

HpS - "Rama" in Maha-mantra is Balarama, no? He is Nityananda! and we always chant Pancha tattva mantra before we chant Hare Krsna mantra so that includes Nityananda and Narottama. Also, we are authorized to chant all the songs of Narottama, Srinivasa, Six Goswamis, Bh. Vinode Thakura, et al, so all the persons mentioned by Partha sarathi Das are also present in our ISKCON Sampradaya. We just access them in a little bit different way.

Are you worshiping Radha Krsna deity? Do you get inspiration from Her (Tulasi) about following Sakhis? Yes, in the form of Chitrabot (Photo) but I had never asked and personally experienced from Them about the following of Sakhis and Manjari, and every day in the morning, first of all, I pray to Tulasi Devi for giving us bhakti of Radh-Krsna. It may be defects from my side in the prayer to Srimati Radhrani and lack of Guru sradha.

HpS - That is really our understanding. When we are getting inspiration above the bodily concept, receiving Manjari names by physical resources, then we are really ready to consider details such as which Sakhi and Manjari we are serving. Again, there is no reason why any devotee from any part of the world, even Manipur, may not realize that his real Svarupa is in Rama-lila, no?

When you have tangible experience of presence of Tulasi devi by mercy of Guru and Krsna, then you can understand Manjari Bhava, no?

If we cannot see our Deities as people, how can we relate to Manjaris without physical presence?

In BG 10.10 Purport's last sentence, If a devotee is not intelligent enough to make progress on the path of self-realization but is sincere and devoted to the activities of devotional service, the Lord gives him a chance to make progress and ultimately attain to Him. The only solution is God’s mercy. I am waiting eagerly.

HpS - Exactly, Krsna enlightens us within the heart. This begins when we reach the level of Gayatri Diksa, and becomes more and more tangible as we become purified. Then we will feel strong presence of Srila Prabhupada from his deity picture at different moments, on even specific issues, what to speak of how to make general purification.

I hope this helps with some perspective. If you just continue improving 16-rounds and four principles then EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT HOW TO MAKE FURTHER PROGRESS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REVEALED. Of course, you will be inspired by those messages to confirm them with Guru and Sastra: BBT CC and SB etceter. See you in 10-months in Manipura!

We can follow Sakhis by becoming like Krsna’s flute, Krsna’s cows, sakhas. They are all part of the same lila. Our idea of personal sakhi and manjari is thousands, thousands of times lower than the associates of Krsna (dasera-dasera-dasera anudasa to follow the footsteps not directly imitation).

What do your deities say? Guruji, I have no capacity of asking such questions in my present level. I am doing seva and praying.

HpS - Yes. That is exactly the point. We do not try to take formal Manjari situations until we are getting real inspiration from our Arca murtis. It exists. You should be getting at least a little now.

. . . Now have to run to other programs, devotees. This has been very good discussion for me. Let us continue with other topics in the next letters. Read the Kapi Dhvaja and make comments about it.

If there is a different approach of Shikshya Guru and Diksha Guru, what will be the role of the disciple? Yes, spiritual life is different from material life, and the name is self and the same quality of God itself in both lives. From the stories, if any devata wants to meet Laxmi – Narayan in Baikuntha first of all everybody took the permission of Jay & Bijaya, the doorkeepers for information, likewise, if we want to approach Caitanya, whom should we meet first? It is the question.

On the other hand, the standard of our Guruji Maharaja is too high in comparison with other Gurus, then how we simple men can understand the ideas Guruji feels and experienced?

In the SB 2.9.9 : Purport 2^nd Para ….. if one is able to received the transcendental sound from the bona fide spiritual master, his path of liberation is guaranteed. The disciple however must be ready to execute the order of the bona fide spiritual master as Lord Brahma executed the instructions of his spiritual master, the Lord Himself. How it could be possible for us?

To follow the instructions of the Spiritual Master is to serve the Spiritual Master and the Bhagavan itself. That is why I am seeking Guruji’s permission (anumani / asisrvad).

Your fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

Yesterday we had a meeting with ARTD, Palika dd about the Sri Vyasa Puja 2021. For one thing or another we did not have the chance to meet before

So, answering the question of my last letter

HpS wrote:

1. Who are you?? CmDD... what do you want from the program?
2. Who are we? Just CmDD, Palika Devi Dasi and Art Das are the team to make The Plan? Have PDD and ArtD answered question above? What is there answer? Seems need a few more people in the committee who have answered question one, no?

CMDD: 1.- I am a conditioned soul, who is sometimes in maya, sometimes she is well situated. And who wants to try to serve You, and the whole Parampara in this important occasion.

2.- Our intention is not just be the three of us, of course we want to have as much help as needed. We just wanted to have all the ideas clear in order to start with the coordinations with the rest.

Most importantly for us your opinion is a must here. ARTD told us that he had already discussed about this topic with you, so based on what he told us. Here you have some considerations. This is not the final draft. I want to put these preliminary ideas here due to this blog is public and this is going to be a public celebration. I beg for your forgiveness and the forgiveness of your other disciples and well wishers.

Personally I think that when this kind of celebration come[s] we have to put aside our ego and do not think what do I want, and think what will please my Gurudeva, the whole parampara and so forth.

First what we discussed yesterday : ( we put all this under your consideration)

The Location: I can not say yet (haha), but it is not going to be in Sta Eulalia we need a bigger space.

HpS - ASA - Thank you!!! To glorify, illuminate, the Parampara and our individual positions in it will require several different events, groups etc. So, some events would be natural for Sta. E. Eg. Seems we will have some nice internet contact with Australia, India, Europe, Mexico, Tennessee et al and those would be best organized out of Sta. E. with some people here to partcipate. Eg. If we have some online programs with Argentina, then Pancha-tattva Das here would be natural; Mexico, Govinda pramodini Devi Dasi...

Puja: There are going to be three of them: 6 Goswamis; Srila Prabhupada and Your very goodself. (Raman reti is going to arrange all the plates of the artik, she is in charge).

I suggest that Radhika raman, Caitanya Caritamrta and Panca Tattva may do the artiks. (we as guests [hosts?] give the pass to others).

HpS - Seems we are talking about the big event, not the smaller, particular ones. For that I think ArtD is trying to arrange use of the Peruvian Accountants Association center, one block from Chosica Temple. If that works then we can have about 100-people by pre-registration. Of course, disciples of Prabhupada, Yatra leaders et al are invited. So maybe one of them would do the Arati to Srila Prabhupada?

Decoration: Bhaktin Maria ¡¡¡¡¡ she will arrange a good team

Cake: Palika dd

Decoration of the cake: Nitya Kishor d

Cookies for the Gurupuja: Nitya Kishor d

If other disciples or well wishers want to bring preparations we request that they will be sweets. They are easier to hand in

Prasadam: Jana Pavana prabhu is in charge he will form his team (Lanka vijaja, gita govinda prabhus, etc)

HpS - What seems best is that the only Prasadam will be pre-packaged eg. Laddus, samosas, puffed rice. No, devotees sitting in lines or waiting in lines being served. O.K? Si alguien quiere cocinar cosas de esta manera, aun no es para 100 personas esta bien, no?

No, torta, cupcakes without frosting! 😁 This seems impersonal, but to have so many people together at all during a pandemic is a challenge.

The idea is that it is going to be broadcasted so we are asking that each country send a greeting of about 5 minutes per country. (The greeting should be recorded)

HpS - Who will be Master of Ceremonies? Plan and direct the program.

We have already talked with

Rati manjari (Argentina)

Arjuna and Jagad Guru das (Chile) HpS - Priya sakhi and her husband, Jagannatha, will be here, no? He is President of Chile Temple.

Palika dd is going to talk with the devotees from Mexico

I contacted my very good friend Namacarya das

Govinda pramondini (USA) HpS - Hmmm? I don't think she knows too well the devotees in USA. Better would be Subra and CCD, no?

I do not have the contact of Jayanta from Spain and ARTD told me that Purnamasi is already doing it in India.

ASA??? - Purnamasi is Jayanta's wife. (??) As far as I know, she knows nothing about India devotees. Hmmm. A short message might be nice. Glorification of Parampara not HpSwami separate from that.

Oscar Natars may make a presentation on Narottama Das Thakura! What would be nice would be a recorded song and explanation from different national communities.

Meetings with different geographic communities could be from Sta. A. during the days before the main program with their local members physically present here. Eg. With Radhika, Subra, CCD, we could have some nice association with devotees in USA on the weekend before the program.

_______________________

The following are my suggestions:

Artistic program:

I can ask to Hare Krsna, Mataji and Anangamanjari to present Sita in exile (the separation that she has from his husband is worst than die burned alive.

Glorifications:

I have already the offering of Radhika Raman Prabhu. I am going to translate it. Then other

3 prabhus and 3 ladies in the actual day of the ceremony??

HpS - Seven is nice, but also comments from Karuna, Caitanya, National council, other centers??? Hari Krpa.

They should make devotees understand their position and work in the actual Sankirtan movement by illumination of Bh. Vinode Th. et al. May not be perfect, but that is our aim: Glorify the Parampara, the actual Acharya, Srila Prabhupada and the Prabhus under his feet. Will there be participation from Kids? We can have a virtual program for three nights before. We can broadcast some Kirtan with devotees from Radha Madana-bihari program.

Try to keep the big program simple. Try to organize several other programs for specific groups during the previous days.

Let Radharani, Tulasi devi, take charge, enter your brain. 😎

This is so far what we have...

I am looking forward to have your feedback

PS: Maybe Ulyses can also participate in the Sri Vyasa puja. Nevertheless all the devotees should take care of their mahaprasadam 😂

Thanks for always being there even in my dreams.

Jaya Gurudeva

Jaya Srila Prabhupada

Trying to be useful

CMDD

HpS/ASA - You are very useful. Think about five smaller programs from Sta. A and Temple in Chosica during the previous days.

Have fun. If we do nothing but have programs on line morning noon and night on the one day, that is fine.

Haribolo Honored Prabhu!

Please accept my respects. All Glories to Sri Guru & Sri Gauranga!

Please review my concerns regarding the 2017 GBC's promise to provide a formal statement regarding the Poison Conspiracy (P-Con).

Here is the list of devotees who signed on to that promise.

ASA - Not in Blog format.

I hope this meets you in good health!

We, HpS/ASA, answered:

AgtSP!!!  ...paoho... Thank you very much for sending us this letter and attached letter. I graduated 1st place in psychology with minor studies in biology and electrical engineering from the university of california. So, I have a pretty respectable education in the scientific basis of the Srila Prabhupada poisoning conspiracy (p-con) discussion. Then with Nitai-gaurasundara Das, Dr. Ravi P. Sing, Head of Geriatric Psychiatry at one of biggest mental hospitals in Tennessee, we discussed the p-con from time to time. We came to the same general conclusions as your book, and then when it was released we appreciated them as very definitive.

In terms of the GBC response, as you have presented the history, I would agree that the GBC should issue an institutional statement.

Besides the options mentioned by you below, another would be that: They accept your books as excellent discussions on the topics, that anyone interested in the themes, should read, and that they are written a certain particular humor which the GBC does not find offensive, but of course represents a particular flavor of the author and many people who might feel it is the best way to discuss such topics.

[Maybe] The GBC feels certain topics in Mayesvara Das' books need to be considered more carefully, and certainly does not wish to curtail any well meant discussion on these topicsb,

But for its own considerations, now feels that the current evidence does not support a p-con that has or could significantly influence our institution's efforts to expand Srila Prabhupada's movement.

Of course, this is my opinion. The GBC is an administrative, political, body to my understanding. The Ultimate, so, they may have pragmatic reasons for not making a public statement. "In any public discussion a politician should never clearly declare his own position". A general should never make public the full position of his army.

Yet, my pragmatic advice would be that, yes, they should make a public statement and include your work as very central. A general should disclose his position well enough so his allies and subordinates can understand how to relate to him.

At your service,

HpSwami

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

PAOHO AGTSP!!

• I have just sent a message to the representatives of the Ministry mentioning your comments.
• You said that it was not necessary to elaborate much on the subject of VAD but let me suggest the participation of Sarvabhamuma das and its Vanaprastha community program in Brazil. There are many people interested in a program of this nature.
• The same with Subhadra devi dasi. She leads a very successful early childhood education program, which attracts many children from 4 years to adolescence. Her program is very close to our reality and we believe that her participation can inspire and offer alternatives to those who wants or already have a similar program.
• On the other hand, Brazil has always stood apart given the language distance, but it is important to bring it closer to the development of Spanish-speaking communities. They have a lot to offer. Mataji can lead her presentation towards formative education rather than VAD.
• Sessions would preferably be at 7:30 am?

HpS - Sounds good to us. Others could be organized at other times during the day, week. We hope that ASA can continue to host programs Eg. When we get to Houston March 7th-17th.

• Indira Sakti dd is already working on the issue of visual communication. When we have something ready, we send it to you to receive your feedback.
• I had a conversation with Karuna Krsna prabhu for almost an hour. He has always been very understanding with me (which I appreciate) and he is right, for one reason or another I have worked unnecessarily independently in recent months. We have agreed that I will present my reports to them during the next week and keep in regular contact going forward.

HpS - ASA - Thank you! We are almost in tears to hear this. Thank you.

• ISKCON Chosica will cooperate with the Symposium by facilitating the temple hall for some activities, but it will not be able to do so in the organizational order due to his duties.

HpS - Yes, we can understand this. We sent a Whatsapp message to Karuna and he answered with voice mail to Abhirama, so we are all pretty much on the same page. I am trying to work properly with National Council, Zonal Secretary, GBC Ministry of Education etc. Trying to get Caitanya-candra Das whatsapp number to say hello to him.

We have to talk with Srila Prabhupada.

We have to talk with our friends in ISKCON.

We have to talk with the GBC.

Also, if our local Temple, Chosika, can look at some announcements for their social media that would help and I think within their range of ability. We love the Temple. It is so, so, beautiful.

• I haven't had much contact with Tapana Misra das lately. The relationship with the Ministry has been permanent with Bhakta Rupa das, for management and administration issues. However, I must deliver my report to the Minister at the end of the year in which I will propose some ideas. Communication is very intermittent, although I think that is a serious problem at ISKCON as an institution.

HpS - Yes. How are we, ASA/NIOS, doing? You got the notice of a NIOS Board of Director's Meeting on the 25th November? We haven't seen your response yet? Do want to, can you, continue as a Director next year?

• Depending on what you require from us for the Symposium, Indira Sakti dd and I will travel to Lima at the end of the year (we would love to be present at your Vyasapuja) and we will stay for approximately 10 days. I ask that you can meet me personally to discuss some issues related to education and the services I provide in this area. Hopefully you will allow us to visit the asram very frequently during our stay.

HpS - What dates??? Yes...

• I would like to be part of the organization of the Houston, Madrid and Calcutta Symposia, if you consider it pertinent and necessary. Being at your service means peace in my mind, Gurudeva.

HpS - You have to ask Uncle Gismo if you can be on board the ASA boat! 😁

Of course, that means that you have to join in your archetypical form. Prof. Miguel Polo is a rabbit.

• Here is the schedule as it is to date

HpS - Looks fine. Then other people can organize individual sessions. Eg. a symposium live and online from Chosika Temple with Mother Subra Devi Dasi, Radhika, Patraka et al.

AGTSP paoho We just finished an incredible,

incredible

day with Oscar, Anna, their daughter and grandson! and Candramukhi, Mitravinda Devi Dasi Yugala-kishore Dasi and Jambavan, Pancha-tattva, Parama-karuna, Abhirama-thakura Das!!!

Paulo, Director of Cinematography,

Call to India with Dr. Samaresh.

We had a 1-1/2 hour talk with Oscar and Anna with excellent video and audio recording on Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu and the theory of drama and self realization etc.

Then a Sunday feast with the best Samosas, Cakori's etc that we have ever had, then eaten alive by the mosquitos to water our little beet, carrot et al sprouts.

Then.... here.

We looked at the urgent letters and none seem to be over three days old, so we will rest a little and then go to Gaura arati.

Drama is moving ahead.

See you in Sankirtan.
