Letters to the editor

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.

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???

😐

Hare Krsna!!

Tom Brown here!

AgtSP!!! He has saved us from going to bars for social life and drinking strong drinks with alcohol to be able to digest meat and fish, and then suffering terrible in the following morning.

We have very, very, strong daily program here: Chanting Japa before Mangala arati, some art, drawing. FMP. Regular SB classes and Evening program.

Bhoga offerings are very nice and then regular Prasadam with devotees. After Prasadam (during Prasadam!) many questions and comments.

Rohini Devi Dasi and Maria, Elisa (???) Canchacaja were visiting us for one, two days. We had very excellent discussions with them.

With all this contact it is a struggle to do our Carl Jung reading etc. but it will happen, and our developed Ashrama life, preparing for temple classes, is completely necessary because that consciousness is really what we have to offer to innocent people who are just beginning to remember their actual home existence, name and home.

So many more things to say, but can only really say them in response to letters here in the Blog from ASA relatives who especially are reading the Kapi Dhvaja and/or attending our Academy Morning Program!

Lettuce look at let her's!

SP!! p a o h o!!! 🙏

Thursday comes and Thursday goes and still we have 10 nice toes.

No one has written to us with the FMP or KDh Priority Codes, so I guess there are no priority messages.

Our individual priority of taking Prasadam only in the association of devotees. It is a little tough, fitting into the schedule and menu of the Ashrama here, but we are learning, and the cooks are learning what offerings the Lord likes, needs.

It means that we are rather weak some times, but that is good. We are weak. We push ourselves in different social positions with strong foods that artificially stimulate the liver, stomach etc. and then we get more work, but in the long run we are weaker both at the end of the week and at the end of the body.

Humble means to accept how much you can actually do, and accept the social, political, respect you receive for that, but fully conscious that the Lord who sees all things in private will reward you in private.

O.K.

Won't push to answer more Blog posts right now, but look to our other priorities, and see that that becomes the basis of answering Blog posts.

Hare Krsna!!

Hare Rama!!

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami. Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.

Our esteemed Daughter-in-law's water broke in the morning today and she had a miscarriage 😭😢

It was all so sudden.

The baby was 15 weeks and left the body. Please pray for the baby. It was a boy. She was reading Bhagavatam for the entire time of pregnancy and had almost completed the third canto planning to complete reading the entire Srimad Bhagavatam by the end of her term. We hope we have done something useful in the child’s onward journey. Of course our very beloved daughter-in-law is heartbroken. You hve always be such a guide to our family that in this crisis we hope you, Guru Maharaja and all the devotees bless us with illumnation and strength.

It is only by their mercy that we can try to come out of this tragedy.

HpS - 😳

Abhimanyu, Abhimanyu!!!  Krsna, Pandavas, Kuruksetra, Subhadra!!! Mayi-bharta Das and his wife had a third little baby but it was ot developing cognitive functions. A scan showed that it had no developed cerebral cortex and the doctors predicted death within a few months.

They wrote to Srila Prabhupada and he said that sometimes a yogi or a devotee has a little bit of Karma left, so Krsna picks the proper parents and the Yogi, devotee, can finish it off in a few months.

He told them to just surround the baby with Krsna kirtan and feed him Prasadam

We saw the fellow. He looked quite comfortable and instead of a few months lived in that body for 13-months.

Such a Mother is very hard to find, and the asupicious association of such a great sould, even for 15-weeks is glorious.

They might like to read this and stay in close touch with look toward Lord's plan:
