Letters to the editor

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?

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

 Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias,

 Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

 Aquí estamos, todavía vivos en la familia iskcon, luchando por practicar bhakti yoga. 16R4P bien.

 ¡¡Muchas gracias por la sanga virtual asincrónica, el néctar de nuestra vida !! ¡Su siksa no tiene precio, una misericordia inconmensurable, una respuesta a las oraciones de muchas vidas! Nama om Vishnu Padaya ...

 Me siento agradecido por vivir entre devotos. Cualquier sufrimiento que tenga que soportar en esta vida material, quiero experimentarlo con ellos. Gran oportunidad de purificación !!

 ¡¡Mi buena esposa Julieta está embarazada !! ¡¡Estamos muy contentos con esta noticia !! ¡¡Le pedimos sus bendiciones en nuestro informe anual !! No obtuvimos respuesta pero sentimos que llegaron !!

 ¡Krishna es tan misericordioso!

 ¡¡Empezamos a contemplar nuestro servicio desde una perspectiva amplia !! Meditamos en esto todos los días. Nos sentimos felices, aunque a veces agotados, enojados o aburridos. Pero vemos un camino claro en nuestra vida. Por supuesto que la muerte puede llegar a cada segundo, ¡¡lo tenemos en cuenta !! Cada día es una preparación para ese momento.

 ¡¡Srila Prabhupada nos salvó a todos !! ¡¡Solo quiero contribuir a su misión !!

 ¡¡Extraño su asociación vapuh !! Probablemente lo visitaremos en España y luego en India.

 ¡¡Gracias Gurudev !! ¡¡Usted nod empuja hacia adelante !!

 Inmensamente agradecido,

 Nikunja Bihari das.

Hare Krsna, Maharaj,

PAMHO, AGTSP

Handshake to TB,

Greetings to BW,

please find this interview channel. could be useful for Monitos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcq4RMzSyng {albert ellis}

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee1bU4XuUyg {carl rogers}

bow to all three.

HpS - Thank you!! We hope that someone looks at these and reviews them. These were psychologists we studied over 50-years ago, but very strong leaders.

HpS - ASA - AgtSP. First let us apologize for not responding to your previous post and this post more quickly. We could edit any text that we thought was not correct for this Blog but we could not edit the photos. So, we had to ask our Blog manager to give us the facility to edit photos before publishing posts. Took some time and then glancing at the attached photos they really did seem inappropriate for this Blog.

First, I would like to clarify the importance of this report as a warning to the Vaishnava community and not as unfounded criticism. I have added to my text the experience that devotee Jagad Bandhu from Panama had with Radha Carana more than 6 years ago before she lived in India, which shows that there has not been much improvement since then as long as my experience dates from September 2019 to May 2021.

HpS - This then starts off with a function that this Blog is completely incapable of handling: Public, documented, denunciation of members of the community. This Blog is like the group of people who come up after a lecture to discuss in more detail some of the points presented to the general audience in the lecture.

If more personal discussions are needed then they can be arranged after the topics have been dealt with in the public forums and then small group forum like this Blog.

Mangalananda Das in BsAs. told us a few years ago that after like six years he had realized that I was his Diksa guru and not his psychologist.

Please bring up the topic in a general fashion if you want to write our incompetent selves again and then we can see in general how we can help.

An example of this is how we were able to deal with questions that devotees had about divorce: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12498/

Honestly, you seem like a very competent person, so if you persist in taking shelter of Srila Prabhupada in his Yoga and applying your intelligence to these challenges I think you will be not only capable of solving them but doing it in an exemplary manner.

ASA - Then we have deleted about 150-line document that follows without reading it but which seems to be very systematically presented.

P .... paoho.... the interview with C. Carana Das for his podcast was heavy work. It was very, very, very nice and having Lalita-gopi, V. C. Th Das, Sruti-priya DD et al there was a big, big help.

I hope we did the work correctly.

We become too passionate about Hamlet etc, but it is purifying, we'll see them from Visuddha sattva soon.

Long day. We are walking, running along the river each day with the crew and that uses a lot of energy.

Yet, again, it has a good result for our robot.

We answered a few letters and now we are getting a headache, so time to stop.

Did other work in the Sankirtan movement

At lot of it really pains our heart, so we, (like you?), have to avoid too much of the painful things behind Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet, and deal with as much of the external energy as we can.

HpS-TB/BW

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay

My husband and I (Marina) use the same email and therefore we also share the same account on the blog.

HpS-ASA - Maybe you were twins in your last lifetime?

I had previously written you a letter, but ended up deleting it because it didn't seem to me to say anything revealing, please excuse me for that.

ASA - 😎

I am currently 3:40 hours on the way from Sri Radha Madhan Gopal Temple. I perform a service a week of washing the last Saturday afternoon paraphernalia, entering at 6:30 and leaving at 9:15 PM. By the grace of Lord Nityananda I have permission to stay that night and the next day (Sunday) I get up a little earlier to sing a few rounds before mangala.

HpS - So, so, so nice. Like Santa Rosa of Lima or such.

I take darshan of the Lordships from him, sing and usually there is always mercy to cover some garland service for Gurus or Goura Nitay. I listen to the Caitanya Caritamrita class and after honoring Prasadam I return to the city of Cuautla Morelos.

HpS - With your pistol full of bullets of Lord Caitanya's mercy! Anyone just sees you they get benefit!

These months have been very difficult tests, and when I think that the storm has finally passed, giant waves arrive again.

HpS - Take the rope!!! (16x4) If you are chanting 16-rounds and following 4-principles under Srila Prabhupada's authority then you are connected to Krsna. Yes. The waves will come, but there is a big difference between being in the waves holding onto a rope connected to a good boat, or dry land, and tumbling in them without it.

Hold your breath and the waves will pass and you can come up for air.

Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!

Krsna keeps pulling us out of the water from His end and we keep moving up the rope from our end. As we get closer to the shore the waves get smaller.

My father, Gilberto Rendón Ortíz, left the body on February 19 of this year. You may remember him at a conference that took place in Mexico City at Krishna west. I approached him to introduce him to him and my dad began to talk about me unstoppable, like that from a very young age I did not want to eat chicken because chickens suffered. Anyway. The loss of my father was just the beginning of a series of unfortunate events that continue to haunt me to this day.

HpS - Why unfortunate?! Your dad had too much conditioning to become a full time devotee instantly, so Krsna took Him to Nabadvipa to live there! O.K.? You want him back here??

My family, my marriage, my friends. My rounds, those have improved. It is very paranormal how the holy name has an extraordinary FLAVOR when one takes the position of a helpless baby calling his mother.

I remember a lot how you at the airport made the comment to me that I should follow the example of Kunti Devi, she straightened her back and raised her head in a sober and elegant way. Now every time I have big problems I remember that scene a lot and I try to get up and give thanks because thanks to those problems the image of Krishna, Kunti, Radha Madhan Gopal, Prabhupada and You come to my mind. You are my strength and my only true refuge. Thanks.

HpS - We are just a mailman, and not perfect, but seems we are doing a ---little--- the real Guru who you are experiencing is Srila Prabhupada. Don't doubt that he directly experiences your efforts to be a hero in Kali yuga. A lot of people depend on you.

It takes me a bit of work to connect to the internet, because in order to do so I have to go out in the dark and do a little circus to get a good signal. The FMP is truly nectarean thank you very much!

Please I would like to ask you if it is important to have a fire ceremony for my dad? I have read in the book of samskaras that these fire ceremonies were highly effective in the past, because they were performed by true brahmins and also because it was the sacrifice of those ages. But now the only true sacrifice is the chanting of the Holy Name.

HpS - Fire sacrifice not necessary. Send his picture and little bio-data her so we can all think of him and chant and offer that music to him! That is very best.

Can you please tell me how can I help you?

HpS - You seem to be very much on the right path. I think it would be impossible unless you had been a devotee in a previous life. Maybe you were a monk in your last life and you've come to finish off your material desires in this life and got the mercy of Lord Caitanya's incarnation!

Thank you very much for your tolerance and patience.

Your always well-wisher and aspiring Marina Rendón.

ASA - 🐒
