Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

I really miss your association, I was very relaxed and calm when I was in New Asoka Van and as soon as I arrive home ¡¡¡ Oh the humanity, my poor cat was feeling sick and we spent more than 1000 soles in healing him. Now he is better.

Well, let's go to the point in here. I contacted with Sriman Radhika Raman Prabhu and Subhra Mataji and Govinda Pramonandini, regarding the Sri Vyasa Puja topic. Here we have some suggestions that we want to put into your consideration.

First of all we all agree that for you this important day is not just for you, is an opportunity for all of us to glorificate the whole Guruparampara

I got with the idea that you are always talking about finding Sita so I was wondering in which way we can approach that in the day of the Sri Vyasa puja. Then Radhika Raman p came with the wonderful idea of narrowing this topic so we came to the following suggestions for you:

. Building bridges for finding Sita

• Building bridges for finding Sita

HpS - The bridges come AFTER we have found Her. They are for The Army, not the Search Party.

• We can highlight in which way You were a pioneer in building such bridges for instance regarding education you support Gurukulas in two different continents.

HpS - Then you have to show this in proper proportion to the entire parampara, no?

• In regards of academic preaching you were leading programs in Peru like Bharatiya Sanskriti
• In the Area of art and culture you were a bridge builder ( Manipuri dance drama troupe) all over the United States and South America
• Scientific preaching you have organized The Second World Congress for the synthesis of Science and religion
• Participation in the Bhaktivedanta Institute
• In Sum up in the program we can highlight the different ways that you have been a pioneer in the party to build bridges to Krsna for all the living entities in different areas of society we think that this will be a very nice offering for the whole Guru parampara. Because in that way we can enthuse other generations of devotees to continue building these bridges like monkeys carrying stones of any weight
• We all know that due to all your humility you can say that you did not do it alone, nevertheless you were the captain of that ship. (we can present a PPT in which we can present all these aspects)
• If you agree we can start with contacting the different devotees from different countries that had helped in those programs, so that they can contribute with photos, videos, ideas and so forth

Personally I am going to be involved [or not involved?] actively in the organization if you allow me due to I will be travelling the last week of december to the States I have a family commitment and I will return the same day of your Sri Vyasa puja

We are working with Palika dd, ARTD told me today that you have discussed some ideas about this topic with him, so our idea was to present to you these suggestions so you can give us feedback or what you really want for that momentous occasion 

Thanks in advance Gurudeva

Trying to be your disciple

CMDD

HpS - We are really only happy with Vyasa puja when the whole Parampara is seen in proportion. Of course, it starts with Krsna. We are little part, but something. You and those following us in initiation etc. are bigger or smaller parts, but again always something essential.

See attached idea.

Srima Divya svarupa Das, writes in Whatsapp:

Hare krishna Gurudev. Dandavat pranam unto your lovely feet. AGTSP, GURUDEV AND GOURANGA. 80% construction of your sevashram is being completed. So you are being awaited very eagarly. Praying most dedicately to Radharani to bring you quite safely at radhakund. Gurudev, praying for your blessing to get the opportunity for leaving my job as early as possible. Dandavat pranam unto your lovely feet.

HpS/ASA - We feel that we are causing many disturbances in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan, but he is sacrificing to keep us engaged with some little service. Devotees such as your self are giving opportunities to all of us to have some small Ashrama in Radha Kunda where we can all stay for at least a few days or forever as Radharani desires.

In Kapi Dhvaja we are putting our Calendar projections.

USA - March, April, May, June, July,

Spain - July, August, September,

Kolkata, Manipur, Delhi/Vrndavana - September.... Karika.

It is a long plan. Let us see what happens soon. Service on the banks of Radha kunda.

🐒

Beloved gurudeva, please take my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS/ASA - Locust feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

HpS/ASA - ! ! !

We keep chanting 16 rounds and the 4 principles, FMP program, and performing my temple service.

HpS - Superman! Excellent servant of Srila Prabhupada, Narottama Das Thakura, Six Goswamis, Lord Caitanya.

Excuse me for not sending my letter earlier, in the heat of the service and the preparations for the balarama purnima festivals, Krishna janmastami, and Srila Prabhupada's appearance the festivals were great, Krishna gave us the opportunity to serve him at all times, great association with his devotees, and above all learning how to serve.

HpS - You are in Guada Lajara?? 

I contacted Mother Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi about my process of taking second initiation as you suggested to me in the previous letter https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12536/.

For what she tells me the following, "taking into account that I belong to the Yatra of Guadalajara, Mexico and I perform my services in the temple of Nueva Nilacala Mandir, she considers that I should adjust the pertinent details with the authorities of the temple so she recommended talking to them to coordinate with you the theme of the initiation ".

Therefore I spoke with the president of the temple who has been in the position for 8 years, he is Govinda Caran Das, he tells me that he is fully willing to recommend and send the letter as soon as possible according to the laws of the GBC, his intention it is to continue taking care of our spiritual advancement, having a direct approach to the service of the Deity.

In previous years I have given my letter personally during your stay and on the last visit of 2019 we had a meeting with you the disciples who wanted to take second initiation, there I gave you my letter, but there were no initiation ceremonies, it is an arrangement of Krishna, we are under the will of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga

Guru Maharaja if you agree, the temple president can send the letter and coordinate us to perform the Yajña and you deliver the Gayatri mantra. What do you think?

Your humble insignificant apprentice to serve you Mandali Bhadra das

HpS - I think it is fine. You have passed the Disciple Course, no? We have to apologize to you that we are not able to handle the bureaucratic details of these situations better, and you are showing by your gentle determination that you are a Brahmana.

Can you close this Blog account and open a new one with your initiated name. Seeing your civil name makes some confusion for our secretarial officer: Tom Brown.

Nice fotos.

Respects to Govinda caran Das!!

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept our humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada, All glories to Guru parampara.

Many congratulations on this very auspicious day , when lord Ram, with the help of Hanuman,

And associates got victory over Ravan.

And also today sri Madhavacharya appearance day

Thank you very much Maharaj for giving your association during last Houston visit.

We hope that you have settled in Peru nicely, and hope weather is cooperating with your health.

Maharaj me and Sumitra is doing well, by mercy of vaishnav and Radha Rani, we are engaged in service in temple.

Maharaj have a small question if you get a time :

Nector of Instruction Text 2: It is said that one should not do over-endeavoring to get material things, so question is where should we keep line, is there any criteria how much endeavor one should do?

HpS - Thank you for your excellent letter. We are sorry that we did not answer it sooner. We try to get to all the mail, but it is really impossible:

1. We are lazy.
2. Our body is getting old and our eyes cannot handle the computer as much as before. Need a secretary?
3. The travel Sankirtan etc. takes a LOT of energy.

Please, please read our Kapi Dhvaja. It is published every two weeks. Go to our web page, JayaRama.US and read the "Hello" link. That will explain the next link, "News".

That is were you will find the Kapi Dhvaja.

In the Letters to the Editor section there is a Priority Code. Put that in the Title field of you letters so that we can get to them quickly!!!!

Your question is very nice. I would answer as we understand Bhisma answered Yuddhisthira from the bed of arrows. Yuddhisthira was thinking that by causing the death of so many people to become the King he had been over endeavoring.

However he was guided by three things: God, the Brahmanas, Vedic scriptures.

So, read Prabhupada's books. That will give all the basic principles about how many nice shirts are too many shirts. How expensive a house or car is too expensive. Then chant Hare Krsna and you will get inspiration, good intelligence, from God, Krsna. Finally, keep association with devotees. They can give you good, practical advice of what is over endeavor.

For example, does your family need to go to the beach for a few days to get refreshment?

The above three elements will give you good peace of heart.

In the Kapi Dhvaja we give news about our health etc. You can see there that things are going very well. We have hopes of returning to Houston with good results, 7th March, and then doing a lot of filming in Houston.

Thanks Maharaj.

Devendra and Sumitra

HpS - ASA --- ! ! ! 👍 👍 👍 🙂

Espero se encuentre muy bien de salud en la agradable compañía de los devotos en Nueva Ashoka Van, me alegra tanto poder escucharlo por las mañanas y en las lecturas de la tarde es muy inspirador, usted siempre encuentra la forma de llegar a nuestros corazones y compartir la Conciencia de Krishna con todos nosotros.

ASA - TlgaSP!!... 🙄

Han pasado muchas cosas desde mi última carta, haré un breve resumen:

🐵

Primero y lo más importante hace un tiempo volvimos con el padre de mis hijos ( Manjari y Giridhari) y este año nos casamos legalmente, antes no habíamos podido pero ahora por misericordia de Krishna todo salio muy bien,

ASA --- 🙀

💥

💥 💥 💥

...fue algo muy sencillo y muy lindo para nosotros, siento que el tiempo separados nos ayudó a madurar en muchos aspectos y estamos muy felices.

🐮

Estamos trabajando como familia desde casa en la venta de prasadam lo que nos tiene muy contentos, acá todos cocinan muy bien y yo algunos días de la semana atiendo el local de mi amiga Maha Anandini, esto me ha ayudado tanto a sacar la bondad de mi corazón, y poder llegar a las personas, ellas se van muy felices del local y siempre vuelven, además también distribuimos libros todo el tiempo especialmente el Bhagavad Gita, es muy inspirador.

🐷

En casa tenemos nuestro altar, tenemos un estándar simple pero constante y todo lo que vendemos se los ofrecemos a nuestras deidades, Jagannatha, Baladeva y Subhadra fueron hechos por nosotros hace ya 17 años, me emociona poder servirlos y pensar que ya llevan tantos años con nosotros.

🐘

Personalmente estoy comenzando un pequeño proyecto donde puedo desarrollar mis habilidades artísticas, creativas, la escritura, leer en voz alta y todo lo que me gusta, se trata de un podcast en Spotify acerca de la Conciencia de Krishna, esto me entusiasma tanto

Gurudeva porque es algo que lo vengo pensando hace tiempo y poder empezarlo me alegra mucho, estoy orando a Srila Prabhupada para hacer esta ofrenda desde el corazón y poder compartirla con los demás, el podcast se llama Bhaktimala y tendrá reflexiones acerca del bhaktiyoga, lectura de libros de la literatura vedica, celebraciones importantes en la cultura vaisnava y su significado y entrevistas. Estoy aprendiendo a editar y sobre todo a dejar a un lado las limitaciones que muchas veces tenemos, oró humildemente por sus bendiciones para este proyecto.

🐗

Por último mi sadhana es Mangalarati por la mañana, 16 rondas, lectura, FMP, gracias a Krishna el trabajo que tengo ahora me permite hacer el programa de la mañana tranquilamente y por las noches escucho sus lecturas y algún capítulo de el Krishna Book. 16 rondas y 4 principios ok 😉

🐸

Estoy haciendo el Bhakti Sastri a ritmo de tortuga pero vamos avanzando de a poco, espero terminarlo para el próximo año.

Me gustaría mucho poder ir a verlo a Perú Gurudeva, pero sé que esta ocupado en al realización de la película y que el aforo es limitado, pero desde acá esperamos seguirlo en todos los programas que podamos para tener su asociación.

Mil gracias Gurudeva por toda la inspiración que derrama sobre todos, espero poder ser alguien útil para usted y Srila Prabhupada, mis reverencias eternas Gurudeva.

Se despide su aspirante a discípula Alankriti Devi Dasi 🙏

HpS - Super!!! Pienso miles de personas van a ser afectado por sus austeridades. En vida anterior fue un Sannyasi???

Pero, por favor unos fotos de Vds. Demas personas!!! La Yatra!!

.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Guru Maharaja, HG Pyari Mohan Prabhu said he sent the letter of recommendation to [email protected] yesterday. I finished Bhakti Sastri in 2019 and the ISKCON disciples course in 2016. 🙏

About the date of the initiation, whatever you say is fine, Guru Maharaja.

Thank you very much.

Your humble servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi

HpS - AGTSP!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ....... paoho......... we saw the letter listed in our "vip" mail box. We will look at it and then we can have the initiation ceremony. Should we do it in the new Connecticut temple? ? ?

Then third initiation, 4th.. 5th... taking a part directly in the Mahabharata con Krsna. What role should you play???

😐
