Letters to the editor

It is alarming, however I do not feel uncomfortable. Is it supposed to always feel in control? Is it the ego or the sense of "control" that one "naturally" must have to feel in order and dont became careless?

We have returned to do service to the temple after a few months, since the work did not allow us to dedicate time to anything else. We make some offerings in the deity's kitchen for Radha Madana Gopala, as well as garlands. The "children" also came from Mayapur (Goura-Nitay) are now in our home. I attach a photo.

There is also new administration in the temple. Prabhu Sankirtan as president. We have had some meeting with the temple authorities, mother Asta Sakhi and some of your aspiring disciples to talk about a possible recommendation to aspire to take initiation from you. We are very very enthusiastic and equally aware of the responsibility that this implies, that is why we find ourselves trying to fight day by day with laziness. First step, because we are a turtle.

Guru Maharaja, there is also the topic of the desire for union with the devotee Vraja Mohan Dasa. What is the most commendable?

UG/ASA- Ask local devotees for their opinion. Marry pure devotee. ie following Srila Prabhupada. Twice initiated or six years following 1st intiation.

It's amazing how we waste time. Mind and body are always looking to do anything else good for nothing. How do we deal with daily laziness? it seems impossible.

HpS - Jaya!

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Here we are struggling to advance towards Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet.

ASA - You too?!! We also.

Thank you so much for your siksa, your daily lectures, your endeavors to expand Bhagavata dharma everywhere!!

We are facing difficult times here at Sri Govardhan Eco Village, this pandemia diminished personal Sadhu Sanga and we latinos feel the difference. We hope Public programs can resume soon.

ASA - Probably not. We expect this is the end of the industrial revolution and the solution is to get more people in your village.

Somehow or other we keep sticking to our personal saddhana, shifting between survival, standard and pure devotee mood!! 16R4P ok

On the personal level very good news!! A Baby girl is coming. Her name is Margarita!! We are happy with this. Lot of meditation in Kardama muni/Devahuti pastime. How Kardama muni accepted his attachment and went through all this to purify it and then go back home, back to godhead, leaving very nice offspring.

We remember what you said in chile (Ratha Yatra festival) about Grihastha asrama. Of course you were speaking from a Sannyasi realization, Tattva!! So from Rasa point of view, we must accept our position and try to use it for our purification.

We can not find better shelter than Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet and his Iskcon.

Next week more letters with personal projects, comments about divorce and iskcon institution.

Thank you so much Gurudev!!

Trying to follow,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Thank you. We need lots of Grhastha Guru comments.

:>>> Two more letters. Eco Village. 100 devotees by October.

GURU TATTVA

2012 Aug 13 - We finally updated the list of disciples in the www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt file. There are some dates that we are not sure of and we marked them “ttd”. See if your information is correct. Besides “ttd” also look for “?”.

Jara-mara-hari Das second ? Guru-puja initiations in Houston?

NoI-Tpp

We also finished our work on the NoI Tpp and sent it to Sriman Radhika ramana Das and Sri Natha Krsna Das for their final adjustments. Then to Peru for fomatting... then distribute to first readers and edit from their comments.

If there are 1-million devotees in Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON, then they must each have 7,500 students to give proper education to everyone in the world.

Produce your handles for Srila Prabhupada's books.

Brother Ass

His eyes are finished. 5.53PM. Lots of letters. Now should give him a bath. Wash his clothes.

Prepare for tonight's LoB seminar at 7PM.

Vrndavana is our natural home. We can reside here, but it is not as easy as staying in Vrndavan. It is easiest to be a Parama Hamsa.

TB - Yet, we may die!

HpS - Yes, Monkeykins. We may die, but then our real life kicks in.

..

..

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

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to you.

HpS - Very little glories to us. Glories to Guru and Gauranga!!

Please accept our humble family obeisances.

HpS/ASA - Thank you. We remember your family house. We hope it is full of plants and people.

How are you?

HpS - The same as you. Body decaying, then we will get another. I hope the Kapi Dhvaja gave some indication of our situation.

As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

We (family) are ok.

Health is ok. Still working on a better diet. Sadhana is OK. we have a simple sane routine (rounds, worship, reading).

We ARE back to classes. This month I am helping 1st grade teacher. So I'm working a lot. In the morning, I work with 6th grade; at noon, English classes with 7th, 10th and 11th grade, and in the afternoon, with 1st grade. It a challenge to change the way to teach in each grade, but I like it a lot... I love to learn.

HpS - Wow! Five different Patakas in one day, every day. Psychotic pineapple.

looking forward to your arrival...

I hope I can see you, at least one time.

Thanks a lot for this Wonderful bulletin.

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette )

ASA - Translate and also give criticism and commentary as you can!!

Ptrk- We will try.

HpS - Of course, we are seeing each other right now. Body association is O.K. but talking is the best. Really hope we reawaken our eternal relations more.

Thank you so much for your help. Your criticisms are essential. Even a little.

Hare Krishna querido Gurudeva!

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias!

todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Espero que se encuentre bien de salud.

HpS - Ha! Ha! Hare! As we are in the material world that is a joke, no? You, me, everyone here is sick! Only hope is to be in recovery which means dying.

Muchas gracias de nuevo por su respuesta y si, estoy llegando el 24 de Agosto a las 8:20am a Nashville desde Chicago, y como usted llega en la tarde aprovechare la mañana para pasear por la ciudad y luego volveria al aereopuerto a las 2:50pm para encontrarme con usted o me indica a que hora puedo ir directamente a su casa.

HpS - We are scheduled to arrive at 2.50PM on Southwest airlines from Chicago, Midway. Of course we can talk by phone, whatsapp, no? Please send your phone number. We will not publish it.

Y si Gurudeva, tengo la vacuna completa, yo me vacune en Estados Unidos con la vacuna Jonhson & Jonhson que es de solo una dosis.

HpS - Very nice. Hope we can be very good Sankirtan partners.

Muchas gracias por su atención.

Su sirviente Jambavan Das

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP!

I hope the entire ASA team is well.

Thanks to his mercy we can meet the deities, devotees of ISKCON Boise and even participate in the Ratha yatra.

Regarding your questions:

1.Lady's Mandala, can you send the news for next Monday by Wednesday??

This Monday 16 will give his exposition Sundari Radhika dd.

2. How was today's presentation?

It was very interesting, Indranila dd reminded us of Srila Prabhupada's mercy and that we must always keep this in mind, especially among devotees. There are good ladies like Diti who sometimes by Karma or Krsna's plan keep very deep desires in their hearts and to satify them they put aside their vows or good practices.

I take the opportunity to make an inquiry:

During your stay in Peru, will you continue with the Srimad Bhagavatam classes on Mondays?

HpS - ASA - I don't know what will happen in the future. We are trying to accommodate local devotees and our virtual Sanga.

When back in the Boro it will be online again.

Then Houston and Peru we have to see what are the systems and connections --- and our aging bodies capabities.

When I go to India will there be any way to communicate with you?

HpS - You are going to India? Vrndavana with your family??

In which part of India will you stay?

HpS - Still too soon to have good plan for the future. We expect to stay in Radha kund and maybe move a little.

Thank you very much for all your dedication.

Sri Nrismhadeva protect you
