Letters to the editor

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.

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

HpS - AGTSP!!!! paoho. It would only by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada that we could stay for a little time on the banks of Radha kunda, so please develop this Ashrama for him and his work.

We hope to join there.

If we are acting as Diksa guru for anyone, then they must have taken the ISKCON Disciple Course, and normally have a letter of recommendation from the local Temple President etc.

Have these aspirants done that?

asa-e; vad, grhasta, divorce

AGTSP!! Paoho & Best Wishes.

We have been trying to give some good advice to one family with marriage issues. We can only see things from our perspective and are sure that this is not the whole picture. (See attached picture of blind men trying to understand an elephant).

It has come to the point where the gentleman feels that he and she have:

1. Tried,
2. Tried,
3. Tried,
4. Tried,
5. Tried,
6. Tried,

and there is no hope for progress in Eka-patni Vrata in the reasonable future.

So, divorce seems to be promoted by his family.

I do not know personally.

They may be quite different than my my current comic impression. Probably are.

My apologies to them.

Our humble observation from Guru parampara and personal experience is:

Divorce us like cutting of your arm. People in India who see value in following the West, should consider that this Western invention has not worked.

When a chaste girl gives herself in marriage with both families as witnesses, it is like she becomes the husband's arm.

Divorce is like trying to cut it off and grow a new one.

The old one suffers unjust pain and the new one is not a replacement.

O.K.

Taking a second wife.

Even the first one agrees, "Yes, he tried... we all tried", then the HUSBAND must still give love to the first one. See that she has Putra dhana, money, cows, jewels, instead of a son.

Keep an eye on her to see that she is being taken care of by her father, brother, ISKCON Temple etc.

And probably they will develop proper affection over the years at a better distance.

(And she and the second wife will gang up on the husband some times).

According to SB canto six the lady should not remarry. She should take shelter of Krsna and figure 1. That my husband has fallen into illusion, or 2. He has taken a second wife and I can look at examples in the SB of how to follow this role.

Prabhupada in the purports to the instructions of Bhisma deva to Yuddhisthira, SB 1.9, suggests Parasara Dharma Sastras for getting happy social life and he suggests that

1st class is Visnu priya and Lord Caitanya.

2nd class is like above, go on with your life and don't get remarried

3rd class, and still progressive, is to get remarried after 6-years.

As we sit here we are in the community of our disciples who got married, had a song, got divorced, and each married a new, excellent, devotee partner. Lady has a had more children, the son of the first marriage seems to be handling everything. They all live in the same community.

... it is probably 99% insane.... but .... this is the Kali--yuga and Lord Caitanya's mercy goes to the most fallen .... IF WE ARE SINCERE.

Our perspective.

Could say other things but everyone involved is pretty cool in our view and can probably figure these details out.

Legally it can be adjusted.

Thank you.

I think if people put there Sankirtan for Guru and Gauranga first these other problems with fall in line easily.

Which of the following ladies were happy in their married life:

• Draupadi,
• Kunti,
• Gandhari,
• Radharani,
• Mandodari,
• Subhadra?
