Letters to the editor

My dear Maharaja,

Namaste! Jai Shri Ram! Jai Hanuman!

:> HpS - Hare Krsna!!! BG 4.34.

I have had extraordinary experiences in the path of Bhakti. Whenever I go to Iskcon temple kirtans, I meditate on kirtans and reach extraordinary state of bliss. Tears will flow, body will shiver, hair will stand etc. I hide them while doing kirtans. Still my problems were not solved.

Our spiritual seeking depends on how we define our problem. My main problem is that I am atma and due to illusion (ignorance), I think that I share the limits of body and mind. The world projected by senses into mind and the contends of my mind seem so real even though I am factually clear that they are not real just like movie on the screen or dream.

I do not share the limits or destiny of the objects which I am aware or I know. My thoughts, images, perceptions, memories and sensations are all limited. That who knows, with which they are known and in which they appear does not share their limits. It does not arise when they arise. It does not evolve when they change. It does not vanish when they vanish.

My problem is ignorance or illusion. My life has been journey of removing this ignorance (illusion). Krishna (Paramatma) has sent many teachers to remove this illusion. You are one of my teachers.

I have made tremendous progress in this journey. I am quite confident that this journey of from unreal to real, from ignorance (darkness) to knowledge (light) and from death (identification with changing objects) to immortality (unchanging being) will reach destination.

Thank you for all your help and guidance and being my teacher.

With namaskars and prayers,

Gaurav Mittal

HpS - Thank you. AGTSP!!!! Sorry could not answer sooner. If you read our news here and in the Kapi Dhvaja you can see our packed schedule. Eg. we should have left five minutes ago, 3PM to water the garden, but squeezed in this letter with great delight!!! Wanted to open it for a long time.

Then at 3.30PM we are recording more for our movie... Etc.

Hare Krsna!!

Move ahead. Please read Kapi Dhvaja.

Hare Krishna!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Dear Maharaja,

Thank you for your invitation!

Yes I would love to serve you for your upcoming trip to Houston, and possibly Tennessee, too!

I'm still chanting 16 rounds and doing service at the temple. Also, Last week I went out on books, and had a very nice time talking with people, singing in the Kirtan,and a few books went out too.

And one Spanish speaking lady came to Krishna Culture wanting one book, and left with 5! Jaya Srila Prabhupada!

Hare Krishna!

HpS - Thank you for the Whatsapp dialogs also. Here is 6-times better in some respects because we can coordinate our Sankirtan effort.

You report is super.

Please tell us about the staff, managers, et al of Krsna Culture in some future letter!!

We are struggling with our Visa and may have to adjust our travel dates, but 7th March looks like our most probably date of return to USA with the ASA crew.

Hare Krishna 🙏

Estimado Gurudev Maharaj, por favor tenga la bondad de aceptar mis Reverencias. ¡Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Guru Maharaj,

Permitame comentarle que llegué a Nueva Vrajamandala (España) muy bien, el día martes 16 y el miércoles 17 me incorporé al servicio en el templo. Mi servicio consta en limpiar la sala del Templo ayudar en pujari (regar las plantas, planchar, limpiar los cajones de la joyería de las Deidades, hacer la diadema para Srimati Radharani y la guirnalda que lleva en la mano para ofrecerle a Krishna, limpiar la vyasasana de Prabhupada, hacer los arreglos para empezar el arati (parafernalia, entrar a Tulasi, despertar a Prabhupada) y asistir a la pujari cuando está vistiendo a las Deidades), y a continuación he retomado las clases del Srimad Bhagavatam y de cuidado al Devoto impartido por su Santidad Yadunandana Maharaj, los Sábados también hago servicio en la vaquería.

Estoy muy feliz por la asociación con Su reverencia y con los devotos en Santa Eulalia . Me acuerdo muchísimo de ustedes y en cada momento que realizo mis actividades devocionales mencionadas.

Por favor, perdone si no logro dirigirme correctamente a usted.

Oh! Misericordioso Gurudev Maharaj,

Su aspirante a discípula, 

Rosa Elena Canchucaja.

Dear Gurudev Maharaj, please kindly accept my obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Guru Maharaj,

Let me tell you that I arrived in Nueva Vrajamandala (Spain) very well, on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 I joined the service in the temple. My service consists of cleaning the room of the Temple, assisting in pujari (watering the plants, ironing, cleaning the drawers of the Deities' jewelry, making the diadem for Srimati Radharani and the garland that she carries in her hand to offer to Krishna, cleaning the Prabhupada's vyasasana, make arrangements to start arati (paraphernalia, enter Tulasi, awaken Prabhupada) and attend pujari when he is dressing the Deities), and then I have resumed the Srimad Bhagavatam and Devotee care classes By His Holiness Yadunandana Maharaj, on Saturdays I also do service in the dairy.

I am very happy about the partnership with reverence for him and the devotees in Santa Eulalia. I agree very much of you and every time I perform my devotional activities mentioned.

Please forgive me if I am unable to address you correctly.

Oh! Merciful Gurudev Maharaj,

Your would-be disciple,

Rosa Elena Canchucaja.

HpS - ASA --- We saw your letter in our Blog, but we are pushing to get everything done. Please read the Kapi Dhvaja every two weeks and then use the Priority Code in the Letters to/from the Editor to attract the attention of our mail clerks!!

It was very nice to get your association.

You seem to us to be an excellent person with lots of capacity to serve Krsna to be awakened and to grow.

The more we chant, 1st, 2nd ... initiation, the more we can see our specific place in the Sankirtan party and be of more and more use, life after life.

Respects to the cows, Maharaja, Venu dhara, Jiyada, Antonio.. !!!!

Send news of the farm.

Jaya Srila Prabhupada and all Gurus and Vaisnavas!

Dear HPS, I have only 1 or 2 things going for me, they may not be great but perhaps it is enough.

I am determined to assist the evolution of the world wide Hare Krishna mission by facilitating agricultural development.

Fall 2020 to May 2021 I spent at New Gokul Dham in Sidney Texas. In 3 months I led the creation of a 1/10th acre (4,200 Sq ft) farm covered by greenhouses. We produced thousands of pounds of food in the 8 months I was there.

We left there because of health problems, asthma became so bad (I suspect from the ragweed or something) I could barely breathe the entire time I was there, had to use inhaler 10 times a day.

My partner Willow kept getting severe ezcema rashes that would bleed and get infected.

HpS - ASA - 😲 Hari Bolo!

Afterwards we traveled to Austin Texas for 1 month and lived with indigenous Mexicans, there we set up nice gardens for their community. Now we are in Northwest Arkansas renting a 4 acre homestead. Just got a small farm set up here and selling surplus to health food stores.

HpS/ASA - 💰 Now you can buy your partner a 1971 Cadillac!!! 😁 You chant Japa daily?? While you farm? Then all these experiences are entering into transcendence, no?

Many devotees ask me now to come to their land and help them develop it. I wish that a centralized farm training center could be developed.

HpS - Yes..

I can teach groups of people the basics and send teams out to set up and plant their land. We can grow fruit, nut trees, berries and ship them to all the devotees. Developing more self sufficiency would evolve the Hare Krishna mission 1000x forward.

Aside from farming, my sadhana is small but gradually becoming more personal and natural, I'm happy to chant, read, meditate on Srila Prabhupada, iskcon, Gauranga, Radha Krishna, their associates and pastimes. My life is becoming more regulated and orderly, having a wife is very helpful. She loves kirtan and reads sashtra all day.

ASA - Behind every good man is a good woman.... Behind every bad man is a ....? Behind you is a ... ? .... spiritual lady?? (Radharani...)

I still have an online following of a few thousand people. I am seen as a kind of existentialist radical philosopher that occasionally quotes vedic culture and references yoga. Slowly I am skimming the ripe ones and introducing Bhakti, Srila Prabhupada's books etc. to them.. I have created a social movement called "Crowdfunding A New Civilization" some people are very inspired by it, we have raised around $2,000. Our set goal is 1 billion. The mission statement is to buy land all over the world, plant thousands of acres of orchards/gardens, organize ecovillages, clean up the environment and usher in a new more evolved society on Earth.

I would like to hear your daily classes online, wondering the secret pass code to access it.. I miss you Maharaja, I hope someday to be formally initiated. Hare Krishna, hope you are well and blessed.

HpS - Still have the pants you gave us!! Access to our classes, Kirtan, ASA tree house, is always in the Kapi Dhvaja, no??!! http://www.jayarama.us/news.htm

We have mango, avocado, bananasd, sitafal, mulberrys, potatoes, beets, peas, carrots, zuccini, 9-herbs etc here!

Hare krishna Dear Gurudeva

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dandavats Pranam

Today i just found out that someone send you some photos of me, I want to clarify that I publish some photos of me doing yoga and artistic photos that are not of sexual content, I am so transparent that I even have my mother on instagram and she is like a friend and understands my intentions but I also understand that there are bad-spoken people who think that everything is sex.

really that person who sent you those photos is dangerous and with bad intentions. I have always been honest with you and my family so I have nothing to hide.

Vanca kalpa

Hare krishna.

HpS - Jaya, nice to hear from you. Nice to see you on Sunday. Hope your 16-4 is carrying you to dance with Krsna and the other boys!!

We did not get any photos.

Maybe they are buried in our Yahoo mail.

Make students for you and Prabhupada!

Hare Krishna, Dear gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to you.

Please accept our obeisances.

As of every two weeks:

* 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

...HpS - Let us really, really, hope that we will never have to deviate ever again!!!

Ptrk - thanks a lot for all your help

...HpS - Everytime we write the Kapi Dhvaja now we are thinking of you. Sometimes we let our selves us colloquial phrases and jargon that is hard to translate, so be just as colorful in Spanish!!

ETD - We really appreciate your patience. We try to do our best.

These past 2 weeks we had interviews with 3 schools. We are very honoured they think of us as a good option. Let see what is the best for everybody in all aspects.

Next week we finish classes and I will say goodbye to our group.

HpS - I don't think it is good by. They will learn to value your association and teachings more and more as they go through life, and hopefully get back to their real life in the spiritual world as soon as possible.

Health is ok for a donkey with many experiences and challenges.

Thanks a lot for this Wonderful bulletin.
