Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, Maharaj!

• Please accept my Dandavats and Pranams!
• All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
• All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

How are you? Where are you now? How's your health doing?

ASA - He died. He is a monkey in Vrndavana. He is feeling pretty good!

Recently I had some personal issue, I was getting association from some elder devotees from Argentina, and I heard them criticizing non-devotees, I first didn't want to see that fact, but when I realized about their behavior I told some other elder devotee and I felt very confused after speaking with him, I was hoping you can clarify my present situation.

My personal life is going well, I had a relapse with the smoking issue, but thank Krishna I'm better now. I'm living in Cordoba city with my girlfriend and daughter . . .

ASA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common-law_marriage

. . . and I'm working from there remotely. My mental health is getting better despite of some bumps I found on the road.

best regards Maharaj,

ASA - Thank you!! So happy to hear of your situation. What is the situation that you want HpS (Now monkey) to clarify?? We can contact him.

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP!

As I write this letter I hope you are well.

HpS - AGTSP! Thank you. The blessings of a chaste lady are not a small thing! I guess we are as well as you considering our differences in age.

On the part of ASA Carnival we are trying to improve our service and give contributions to our Vaisnava community and among our service proposals is to make a historical compilation of their preaching in Peru.

For this reason we ask for your help. We want to know how your preaching began in Peru through an interview with you, the topic would be: Beginning of the preaching of SSHPS in Peru, this is for both the current community and the future one, know from first source the details of this great event.

We consider this project to be of utmost importance because:

1 would be a didactic tool to be able to know, understand and analyze the development of ISKCON in Peru and can be of help to future generations.

2. It also allows us to understand Srila Prabhupada's vision through his realizations and understanding (having the input of Srila Prtabhupada's disciples is invaluable material).

3. It allows us to delve into his service work and, through his practical example, find our own place in Srila Prabhupada's army.

I Praying to Krsna and Srila Prabhupada allow us to carry out this service for which we very humbly ask you to grant us your help.

I bid you farewell, offering my obeisances again and again.

With respect and appreciation

Ys isvari R dd

Note: If that's okay with you, we can arrange a short meeting with you and the ASA Carnival team to coordinate details.

HpS - ASA - Of course, but we would want to make it a part of our movie: DIARY OF A TRAVELING CREATURE - The Ultimate Trip. One thought that occurs is that we should include people who were there from the beginning eg. Rupanuga Caitanya and Divya-vani, Daru Krsna Das, who else? Kanu Pandita. From our side it can even be edited by Ambarisa and Vrsabhanu nandini Devi Dasi with the director that Art Das has befriended.

Just propose a time and we can work on this.

There was Hollywood, then there was Bollywood (Bombay), and now we will have Lollywood (Lima [Pollywood (Peru)????]).

Gauranga. Humbles and Glories. 

I donated $250 in to buy ghee for Tamal Krishna Goswami's appearance day. The first lady told me that there will be no ghee or any other dairy in the feast because Gurus and Sannyasis are vegan. "They won't support the dairy industry."

The purpose of vegan philosophy is to minimize the importance of cows in society. The objective of the demoniac class of men is to kill cows and brahmans, so they came up with veganism to get vegetarians to assist. When vegans put a dairy out of business, the cows go straight to slaughter. In this way vegans kill cows. There is no connection with veganism and improved treatment of cows. 🤷‍♂️ Therefore Srila Prabhupada recommended cow protection through the use of dairy products. Purchasing dairy gives the cows something to bargain with. In modern civilization men do not think milk to be important, therefore they do not live very long. ☠ The supreme personality of godhead in his instructions in Bhagavad Gita advises go-raksa which means cow protection. 🐄 The cow should be protected, milk should be drawn from the cows, and this milk should be prepared in various ways. 🍼🍶🥛One should take ample milk, and thus one can prolong one's life, develop his brain., 🤔 execute devotional service, and ultimately attain the favor of the supreme personality of godhead. ☸

Yours, Mishra Bhagavan Dasa

HpS - ASA. PAOHO. Bumbles.

We have similar perspective. Live in Pure Goodness in the Ecuador forest and you can live on fruits and roots, but become the advisor of a king, or street Sankirtan thing, and you need milk to feed your brain.

Cup or two a day of REAL milk for an adult.

Follow the Acharya.

🙂🙂🙂

Hare Krsna

From broad view was like 75% perfect day.

From local perspective was like 97% perfect.

Every day we make progress.

Meet the same temptations.

One of the biggest for us (you also?), is eating lake in the day, night!

We try again and again to act properly!

Krsna helps us recover.

Try again.

In the beginning we progress mostly by learning transcendental, though mechanical, tricks.

Real love will then come to control our urges.

Tonight had lots of herbal tea with little sugar.

Worked.

Was able to hear local Kirtan. Answer Blog posts.

. . . . Now is 10.46PM.

Reached out limit.

Good night. 😴

DID buy the Boise, Houston, Peru, Houston tickets.

1-hour with Art Das. joined Hawaii class...

DID NOT go to bank. Answer Hari-lila Das. . . Tpp-Noi, BOEX Pada-padma Questions.

Hare Krsna.

We sleep now.

Set the alarm for 2.30AM

Hope Jbjs Das has good test experience tomorrow. Hope everyone has good Sankirtan.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP. Pamho

Thanks again and again and again for all the virtual association that you being given [have been giving] to us even before [confronted with] the pandemic state. It is very helpful for our Utsahan

I was wondering if I have an Ashram. I do not considered myself [as] a Brahmacarini, even if I am following strictly all the principles for 6 years. I laugh sometimes when some friends tell me how is it possible that you remain celibate. I always answer is my Guru's mercy ¡¡¡

My father raised me as a boy haha. "You have to study", "You have to earn your own money", "Pay your debts on time", "Be responsible", "Be a good person", etc. He never discuss marriage life with me haha.

My mother always tell me someone may appear and take care of you. I know that you can protect me but as a San[n]yasi. I have to respect the proper etiquette. In the past I remembered that you try to put me in contact with Grhastas like Dayanidhi and his wife, Namacarya when he was married to Esther pffff long time ago haha. But it did not work out.

Then, I recall that you said once that our deities [will] take care of us. So, I guess that I am in that position. I do not picture myself living in a temple. Maybe in the future, I like Novagokula. What do you think?

HpS - ASA --- Hansadutta Maharaja told us that Srila Prabhupada initiated one devotee as Karttikeya Das, and said, "Your name is Karttikeya Das. He is the commander and chief of the demigods. If you fall, we all fall!".

He fell! 🙄

😏

We have been able to follow principles before and since initiation. One dream of illicit life that we may have accepted with too much enthusiasm, but was over 20-years ago, and these passions diminish. The process works!

AGTSP.

We have disciples, devotees whom we have initiated who are better Brahmanas, B'caris, than us. We have others who have been involved with serious problems with even very unfortunate situation of abortion.

Kartikeya Das fell. We all fall in some degree. Akrura failed to act properly when he took Krsna away!

If we come back and learn from our mistakes we are sincere. It was an accident.

First, we are devotees, chant Hare Krsna, four regs. Then, question of how to apply that in DVAD comes:

• Daughter.
• Wife.
• Mother.

How many kids did Lord Caitanya's wife, Smt. Visnupriya have?

You are a daughter!

Your determined attempts at marriage have failed, no? So what? 😉 Gandhari didn't have much success with her marriage either.

Julieta (Romeo)?

You have nice sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews.

You know how tough it is for non-devotee girls in Peru!!

This world.

Me as an 'old man', Sannyasi. You as a lady. Others as b'caris etc.

We have to accept the Kali-yuga version of DVAD, and accept it.

Uttara was married for like twenty-five days... then!?

All us guys have to try to deal with Kali-yuga wives. 😁

Your civil Ashrama is daughter. Maybe there will be a Vanaprastha partner? Yet, maybe is best if you just worship your deities and see what your real relationship is.

If the situation in Peru changes for bad with the new government maybe I will need to start over in another country. I am not accustomed to have a miserable material life (in money terms). I have to be honest with that.

So do I have an Ashram? I have that inquiry?

TB/BW - See aforementioned blabber.

I am right now in the day of Jupiter worshiping my Guru with my very little intelligence preparing the class for ISKCON chosica. I am taking advantage of your TPP. I am using my apple 🍎

(MAC) haha. It is pretty useful I do not use ppt so much I use genially instead (https://www.genial.ly/es). Please your blessings in order to say something useful

Jaya Gurudeva

Jaya SP

Thanks a bunch Gurudeva

Your eternal servant

CMDD

HpS - ASA - Thank you. First, I want to see people as devotees! Without that, what uniform they are wearing is 99% useless.

Develop your broadcasting of Krsna katha. Build your Sankirtan equipo. Be a part of other equipos, the BIG equipo of Srila Prabhupada.

Let all this dream go!!! ...

Wake up.

. . . .

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva, PAMHO AGTSP.

How are you doing?

HpS - AgtSP!! Paoho... Honestly speaking, I think we are doing just like you! You are nice devotee struggling to become purified, wake up, and so are we. We have different positions. Have been missing your association for some time. Always think of you we do Puja to Prahlada deity.

I have listened to some of your classes, but not all because my mobile can´t have all the apps, due to the full capacity.

I wanted to tell you that the next Friday June 4th I will be having my bachelor´s exam on Pedagogy with the topic "Is there a Pedagogical theory?", so I have been busy. I hadn´t written you because I also wanted to rest about so many problems in the temple and confusions and divisions too. So I prefer to be away from devotees for sometime.

HpS - We wrote about that in the letter to Gandharva Das today: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12406/.

We must be 100% dedicated to helping Srila Prabhupada's institution, ISKCON, but of course, that requires different relations. Krpa acharya stayed with Durodhana and the Kurus, like Bhisma and Drona, to the end, but Krsna did not reject him. Rather he made him the Acharya for Yuddhisthira after the battle. On the other hand, Vidura left and went on pilgrimage. Find our best position to:

1. Help Srila Prabhupada's institution.
2. Develop our friendship with devotees.
3. Develop our direct relationship with Srila Prabhupada

I also wanted to tell you, if you remember when I gave you Hanuman deity, it was me who gave you Hanuman on your Vyasa Puja festival in 2003, my mother in law at that time worked in the boutique at Vrinda temple, so she had two Hanumans, so I asked her to sell me one for you because I thought that would be a nice present,

she had two hanumans and I chose the nicer one for you, I still keep the other, I attached photos here.

At the bottom Hanuman had a tag that said made in Nepal, but it was me who gave it to you, this is something personal, you don´t need to say he is Mexican, or mention my name if you don´t feel like doing so.

I hope you are fine, also I told [. . . an older godbrother] that I was going to be away from devotees because I felt offended and angry for the nasty homophobic comments he made against my daughter Subhadra with no reason. So I never talk to him again.

So I hope this letter finds you well, I sent a happy birthday message on Whatsapp on January 12th this year, but you didn´t reply. I guess you have rejected me as your disciple.

HpS - Don't be so mad 🙂

. Of course, I don't "reject you as a disciple". You can be upset quite naturally if other devotees say stupid things, but we don't even reject a blade of grass. We adjust our relations according to our development and then see how we can help people act and understand things properly, no?

We got like 15,000,115 Whatsapp messages. On our "birthday". We said that we just could not handle all of them. Maybe everyone send a greeting on THEIR birthday!

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, but all the planets have a individual relation with the Sun, no?

Tomorrow is your test! Hope you take Krsna's association.

I still keep strong following principles.

your useless servant, Jagat Bandhu Jagannatha Swami Dasa / Mr. Jesús Rosas

HpS - You equally useless servant, HpS, also trying to be member of this Sankirtan movement.

Attach a favorite photo of Srila Prabhupada leaving the Vyasa asana, and putting both feet on the groud for Sankirtan!
