Letters to the editor

From Whatsapp:

Maharaj, what do you think of some book on "Shakespeare from a Gita perspective?" As a starting initiative, I am thinking of small 500 word article based on Shakespeare quotes: 100 words to set the context, 200 words to analyze universal human values and 200 words to present some Vedic spiritual / devotional message. Do you think this will have an audience?

ASA - AgtSP!!! paoho. I don't know about audiences too much. I think it would be best to try it and see how it works. Then adjust it if it seems useful for delivering the message of Sri Krsna Chaitanya

to

the

con

dition

ed

souls of Kali yuga.

What would you like if you got such a book?

Seems you would want to read it through once.

See it catch onto sig nificant pars of your life.

And then work with it more.

H a r e KRSNA!

A gateway.

A stimulus rather than a conclusion.

NEEDS GOOD TITLE.

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja. PAMHO.

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Glory to the fervent Sankirtana of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Thank you very much for all that you give us every day through FMP, and continuous classes on Srimad Bhagavatam. In this corner of the world, the cold is already beginning to enter the houses, in Karuna virus mode, we are here with my wife and my two refugee children, balancing material and spiritual aspects. Some time ago we moved to a place closer to the countryside, we somehow left the city, in pursuit of the well-being of the children and their spiritual development.

ASA - That is very generous and wise.

 I have been in service for some time with a group of devotees, promoting a project called Vaisnavas Care supported by Mother Sangita. I have focused most of the time on caring for the devotee, maintaining connection with them, fostering care, appreciation and attention.

The truth is that it is a very delicate service and people need to be listened to and cared for to help them in their spiritual process, maintaining both psychological and material supports for daily life.

Specifically Vaisnavas Care as such, is intended as support for people in their last moments of their life, appeasing as much as we can the material influence, so that that last moment is the closest to spirituality.

We continue day by day getting up early trying to sing sincere rounds. By following 4 principles and cooking for Krsna in some way in practical service.

For a year now with a group led by Jagad Guru das, we are studying Lord Caitanya's teachings. A very inspiring book with teachings in its words of great value. Very impressed with how Prabhupada speaks through that particular book.

Right now we are with my wife promoting Srimad Bhagavatam classes for children through the guidance of Mother Aruddha.

 Gurumaharaja, we wanted to ask you a great favor. For some time here in Chile we have carried out a project of Srimad Bhagavatam classes every day in the morning with different local speakers. Soon we will finish the first Canto and we wanted to know if you could help us by presenting a Bhagavatam class for the last chapter of the first Canto of the week of July 5-11. We have tentative dates according to your availability and calendar for Monday the 5th, Tuesday the 6th, or Sunday the 11th. 8 am Chile time. We can also adapt the schedule if another schedule is more accessible.

I hope that you are well and that Lord Caitanya pours out his infinite mercy on you. Thank you for every day reminding us of the importance of establishing that lost link with God ...

With you on the mission to Srila Prabhupada ...

Raga Sindhu Das

HpS-ASA - I think all the devotees benefit so much from your steady association. Did you get this from your parents? Any employer would be lucky to have you as an employee. What is your good wife and children's names?

Monday the 5th seems very good.

We could do it with our regular Spanish language SB at 8.30AM Santiago time?

O.K.?

🙂

Govinda,

Govinda,

Go, gopa, gokulananda!

8.57PM.... Another full day. On the one side is our life when we used to experiment with forbidden beverages and medicines. On the other side is the renunciation of Raghunatha Das Goswami in Brindavana!

We are in the middle, and it seems by our little, hypocritical, effort, and the mercy of Srila Prabhupada.

!

!

!

We are daily making progress in controlling our senses and improving our service.

You?

Just by chant in Hare Krsna with sincere meaning you can adjust any bad feelings in your heart, and once that is done you have a platform for working on building a nice Ashrama for your service in the material world.

Can we achieve complete attraction to the dust at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada without dying?

No.

Brihuega Nueva Vraja Mandala 6 junio

Querido Hanumat Presaka Swami..! Tlgasp!

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias a sus divinos pies de loto!

Muestre su compasion para con nosotros por no haberle enviado el reporte anual pasado.

En Diciembre realizamos la mudanza del pueblo a NVM con todo lo que implica.

Estamos profundamente agradecidos por la instruccion que nos dio de quedarnos quietos en NVM, ciertamente estamos sintiendo la proteccion de krsna en todo momento..

Ekadrsti d.d ha podido confeccionar un vestido azul y plata para G:N que estrenaron en NITYANANDA TRAYODASI.. y tambien el set para Sri sri Radha Govindra Chandra..ahora esta en el equipo de costura para las deidades con Omkara d.d..

Por mi parte estoy haciendo el 2º modulo de Bhakti sastri y el PadaPadma, 1º modulo de Bhakti vaibhava... ademas vamos a comenzar un curso sobre cuidado al devoto en ISKCON.

En mi sadhana personal canto 16 rondas con entusiasmo y me esfuerzo por mejorar la atencion, 3 gayatris, voy alternando mangal arati a veces en templo otras veces en casa.. y cantar en las tardes el goura arati.

Yadunandana swami me organiza para impartir Srimad Bhagavatam 2 sabados al mes y 2 domingos cocinar para los devotos( fiesta del domingo)

Nitay pr ya cumplio 13 años..esta aprendiendo Konfu, samskrito, canto de mantras vedicos, mrdunga y armonio con Narottam Vilas pr.. gurukuli hijo de Mahalaksmi d.d que le transmite mucho conocimiento que aprendio en 10 años en Sri Dham Mayapur.

Ekadrsti esta cantando mas rondas que antes pero todavia no esta fija en las 16 rondas..!

Vrind a con 11 años esta aprendiendo canto, instrumentos Odissi danza y hace servicio en pujaris con Satvika d.d.

Yamuna con 6 años tambien baila Odissi y juega con sus amigas de la granja. los 3 van a la escuela publica en Brihuega.

Madhu Gouranga con 3 años ya va al gurukula , pinta muy bien, le encantan las plantas y el agua.

El dia 13 de mayo Madhu Gouranga sufrio una grave agresion por unos perros Dogos argentinos de un vecino e la granja que se soltaron. el dia 14 Desiree abandono el cuerpo y el dia 15 Avesa rupa pr, hemos estado sumergidos en momentos de muchos challenges..

Entendemos que Madhu Goranga ha pagado un Karma y por otro lado Sri Nrsimha deva lo ha protegido completamente, ahora ya esta bastante recuperado.

Ekadrsti a modo de agradecimiento a pedido a Venudhara pr el servicio de hacer las guirnaldas para Laksmi Nrsimha deva y el accedio felizmente.

Los padres en la granja despues de lo ocurrido hemos visto que faltan Ksatriyas para defender o protejer a la comunidad y a las familias en particular.

Despues de acabar el curso de cuidado al devoto he pensado proponerme para formar un equipo de proteccion y seguridad en la NVM.

Que piensa usted Gurumaharaj? Seria un servicio apropiado? Cual es su punto de vista sobre todo esto??

Esperando y deseando se encuentre bien de salud, nos despedimos de usted querido Gurumaharaj.. Sus inutiles sirvientes

Ekadrsti D.d y Yasodanandana Das & family.

Hare krsna! Todas las glorias a AC BHaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada!

Brihuega New Vraja Mandala June 6

Dear Hanumat Presaka Swami ..! Tlgasp!

Please accept our humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet!

HpS - Our divine lotus feet are in Goloka. We are using our physical feet here. 😉

Show your compassion for us for not sending you the last annual report.

HpS - You are a devil but maybe we will forgive you.

In December we made the move of the town to NVM with all that it implies.

We are deeply grateful for the instruction he gave us to stay still in NVM, we are certainly feeling the protection of krsna at all times.

Ekadrsti d.d has been able to make a blue and silver dress for G: N which premiered at NITYANANDA TRAYODASI .. and also the set for Sri sri Radha Govindra Chandra .. now she is in the sewing team for the deities with Omkara d.d ..

HpS - Can do the same service in Vrndavana.

For my part I am doing the 2nd module of Bhakti sastri and the PadaPadma, 1st module of Bhakti vaibhava ... also we are going to start a course on devotee care in ISKCON.

In my personal sadhana I chant 16 rounds with enthusiasm and strive to improve my attention, 3 gayatris, I alternate mangal arati sometimes in the temple other times at home ... and sing the goura arati in the afternoons.

Yadunandana swami organizes me to teach Srimad Bhagavatam 2 Saturdays a month and 2 Sundays cooking for the devotees (Sunday feast)

Nitay pr has already turned 13 years old .. he is learning Kong fu, samskrito, chanting of vedic mantras, mrdunga and harmonium with Narottam Vilas pr .. gurukuli son of Mahalaksmi d.d who transmits much knowledge that he learned in 10 years in Sri Dham Mayapur.

Ekadrsti is singing more rounds than before but is still not fixed on the 16 rounds ..!

Vrinda with 11 years is learning singing, Odissi dance instruments and doing service in pujaris with Satvika d.d.

Yamuna with 6 years also dances Odissi and plays with her friends from her farm. all 3 go to public school in Brihuega.

Madhu Gouranga with 3 years already goes to the gurukula, he paints very well, he loves plants and water.

On May 13, Madhu Gouranga suffered a serious attack by some Argentine Dogos dogs from a neighbor on the farm that got loose. On the 14th Desiree left the body and on the 15th Avesa rupa pr, we have been immersed in moments of many challenges ..

HpS - Wow!!!!! Who is Desiree? Hope Madhu Gouranga was pulled up into higher consciousness when the dogs were creating a disturbance on the lower one. It is like M. Pariksit and the Brahmastra of Ashvattama, no? Were the dogs incinerated?

We understand that Madhu Goranga has paid a Karma and on the other hand Sri Nrsimha deva has completely protected him, now he is already quite recovered.

Ekadrsti by way of thanks in requesting Venudhara for the service of making the garlands for Laksmi Nrsimha deva and he happily agreed.

The parents on the farm after what happened we have seen that Ksatriyas are missing to defend or protect the community and families in particular.

After finishing the devotee care course, I thought about proposing to form a protection and security team at the NVM.

What do you think Gurumaharaj? Would it be an appropriate service? What is your point of view on all this?

HpS - Even an automobile tire company has security people, so some people to deal with these problems seems very practical. Of course, you, Yadu everyone can make practical decisions.

Hoping and wishing you are in good health, we say goodbye to you dear Gurumaharaj .. Your useless servants

Ekadrsti D.d and Yasodanandana Das & family.

Hare krsna! All glories to A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada!

HpS - Thank you. Hope you have practical engagement for your senses. Maybe the Russians will need some one to translate for them in Brihuelga.

AgtSP!

Paoho.

Hare krishna Gurudeva, decidí tomar un tiempo para volver escribirle al blog, igualmente estoy pendiente de sus clases por go to meeting y leo Kapi Dvaja, deseamos que se encuentre mejor de salud.

El pasado 7 de marzo nació mi 4to hijo es niño y pesó 3.810kg un sano y gordito bebé el nombre de él aun no lo tenemos definido pero pensábamos llamarlo Balaram🤔

Estoy retomando mi sadhana y continuo mis actividades con mi familia, arati, kirtan, lectura, cocinar y ofrecer prasadam mis rondas no las e logrado cantar temprano pero si durante el día y 4 principios muy bien pienso que va mejorando poco a poco mientras me adapto con un nuevo bebé pequeño en casa.

Estoy cuidando 4 tulasis en nuestro hogar y nuestras deidades de Krishna Balaram, ladoo Gopal y Srila Prabhupada murti. los pequeños hijos acompañan el kirtan con kartals, canto y saltos.

Mi hijo mayor Jay Govinda ya habla muy bien y hace preguntas acerca de krishna: ¿dónde está krishna? ¿Él está con nosotros? Si krishna está en nuestro corazón entonces ¿tenemos 2 corazones en nuestro cuerpo?

Entonces para responderle tengo que leer y entender quién es krishna no? mis hijos son buena motivación para continuar aprendiendo conciencia de krishna🤓

.

El restaurante y hostal en Monterrey continua abierto, actualmente trabajan 4 devotos en el área de cocina, también se imparten cursos de cocina vegana y los domingos se da clases de Bhagavad-Gita, kirtan y prasadam.

Hace tiempo comencé a capacitarme como diseñador gráfico e ilustrador digital, en una carta anterior le conté que realizo servicio para la página de ASA carnaval también apoyo a devotas en proyectos educativos, estuve sin trabajar por el nacimiento de mi hijo pero estoy de nuevo disponible para servir a los devotos, hacer esto me a ayudado para mantenerme entusiasta y tener asociación de buenas devotas aquí en México🙌

.

Casa de campo

Por la misericordia de krishna terminamos de pagar el terreno en Montemorelos y bueno la remodelación de la casa está en etapas finales para volver a vivir de nuevo.

Optamos por construir de manera ecológica como estufa y horno de leña, baños secos, captación de agua de lluvia y crear huertos con métodos de permacultura. Por supuesto invitamos a los devotos es una zona muy tranquila para vivir tenemos ríos muy cerca y los vecinos son muy respetuosos.

Sé que tiene muchas ocupaciones Gurudeva y no deseamos quitarle más su tiempo le agradezco por leer nuestra carta

tu insignificante sirvienta Anandamaya devi dasi 🙏

AgtSP!

Paoho.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva, I decided to take some time to write to the blog again, I am also aware of his classes for go to meeting and I read Kapi Dvaja, we hope he is in better health.

HpS - AGTSP!!!!!! Thank you for your letter. We are advancing in devotional service daily. Health is normal. We are born, grow up, get old and die.

On March 7th, my 4th child was born, a boy and weighed 3,810kg, a healthy and chubby baby, his name has not yet been defined but we were thinking of calling him Balaram🤔

HpS - Good name. Good family!

I am resuming my sadhana and I continue my activities with my family, arati, kirtan, reading, cooking and offering prasadam, my rounds I have not been able to sing early but if during the day and 4 principles very well, I think that it is improving little by little while I adapt with a new little baby at home.

I am taking care of 4 tulasis in our home and our deities of Krishna Balaram, Ladoo Gopal and Srila Prabhupada murti. the little children accompany the kirtan with kartals, singing and jumping.

My eldest son Jay Govinda already speaks very well and asks questions about Krishna: where is Krishna? He is with us? If Krishna is in our heart then do we have 2 hearts in our body?

So to answer you I have to read and understand who is Krishna right? my children are good motivation to continue learning krishna consciousness🤓

The restaurant and hostel in Monterrey continues to be open, currently 4 devotees work in the kitchen area, vegan cooking courses are also given and on Sundays there are Bhagavad-Gita, kirtan and prasadam classes.

Some time ago I began to train as a graphic designer and digital illustrator, in a previous letter I told him that I perform a service for the ASA carnival page, I also support devotees in educational projects, I was out of work for the birth of my son but I am again available to Serving the devotees, doing this has helped me to stay enthusiastic and have an association of good devotees here in Mexico🙌

HpS - Seems like such a happy life, that a girl could not buy for a million dollars.

Cottage

By Krishna's mercy we finished paying for the land in Montemorelos and well the remodeling of the house is in the final stages to live again.

We opted to build ecologically as a wood stove and oven, dry toilets, rainwater harvesting and create orchards with permaculture methods. Of course, we invite the devotees, it is a very quiet area to live, we have rivers very close and the neighbors are very respectful.

I know that Gurudeva has many occupations and we do not want to take any more of his time I thank you for reading our letter

your insignificant servant Anandamaya devi dasi 🙏

HpS - Thank you!!!! This news is really essential. We hope the other devotees in Monte Rey also send news from their perspective. Why can't Monte Rey lead the whole world, just show people that international politics and resources are just not needed.

Live locally for purification and realize that the body is a tool of the soul.

Respects to our good disciple your esteemed husband.

Hare Krishna, Gurudev,

Please accept our humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Here we are, still alive in the Iskcon family, struggling to practice Bhakti Yoga. 16R/4P ok.

Thank you so much for the virtual asincronic sanga, the nectar of our life!! Your siksa is priceless, an inconmensurable mercy, an answer to many lifetimes prayers!! Nama om Vishnu Padaya...

HpS - Thank you, but you can see that we cannot answer all these letters timely because we are hold, small and also some laziness in our character. Still old letters are like old Prasadam. 😊

I feel grateful for living amongst devotees. Whatever suffering I have to endure in this material life I want to experience it with them. Great opportunity for purification!!

My good wife Julieta is pregnant!!

HpS - Congratulations. Not an ordinary person.

We are so happy with this news!! We asked for your blessings in our annual report!! We didn't get an answer but we felt they arrived!! 

Krishna is so merciful!! 

We start to contemplate our service from a broad perspective!! We meditate on this everyday. We feel happy, although sometimes exhausted, angry or bored. But we see a clear path in our life. Of course death can arrive at every second, we take that in account!! Everyday is a preparation for that moment. 

Srila Prabhupada save us all!! I only want to contribute to his mission!!

I miss your vapuh association!! Probably we will visit you in Spain and then India.

Thank you Gurudev!! You push us forward!!

Immensely grateful,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - ASA --- Not an ordinary baby! How is the road??? Muddy?
