Letters to the editor

All glories to H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami.

All glories to Srila A. C.Bhaktivendanta Swami Prabhupada.

All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Giridhari.

I enjoyed the insights in your last letter, serving guru means serving Srila prabhupada this puts things in proper perspective.

Seeing that all living entities are our guru. this is a axiom worth striving for.

Presently I'm trying to serve the disciples with the best of my ability. most bramacharis are in there 20's.

My temple commander is Damodara carana das. He has the wisdom to lead in a supportive way. He engages me in the Food for Life Program and he makes the work seem so effortless, and I am inspired by their enthusiasm, and everyone fearless to do more outreach programs.

The elder devotees are miraculous. they have the experience to handle all of the considerations I might have.

Some of the senior devotees are

Dravida Dass.

Rajendrananda Dass

Para Shakti Dasi

Dharmasetu Dass and Dayanidhi Dass are rock solid in there service.

Vrindavan Dasi had to have a appendix surgery and Dayanidhi spent the evening at the hospital and he still made the morning program to dress the dietys. they are super servants of their Lordships.

I see that your schedule brings you for a super west coast visit.

I remember how the Boise community enjoyed your programs.

My understanding is H. H. Badrinarayan Swami e-mailed you regarding me becoming your disciple. did you by chance receive this message?

ASA - Aye, aye, Mate. We exchanged about messages and he's gonna send your beads on to chant.

I would personally would like to have your association while you're visiting in August.

HpS - Talking with Badri seems nice if you can be initiated in the ceremony in San Diego, but your could visit Boise while we are there for three weeks right after that. Nity-sara Das might be able to help you with accommodations.

🙂

Thanks for these exchanges as they help me understand the proper mind set a disciple should foster.

I appreciate your generosity of your time, your mastery of guru disciple relationship and the encouragement for me to continue on this path

Nitai/Gaura!

Your servant Mike Jarvis

HpS - Thank you for your letter. First initiation, second initiation, third... fourth... fifth.. 122! More and more accomplishments are possible. Even Krsna is marveled by the possibilities of Vrndavana Dhama and Sankirtan in the material world.

First initiation, then learn how to integrate your full personal abilities in Krsna's service. Then be poetical about it!!

Mi Querido Hanumat-preṣaka Svāmī por favor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas obediencias a sus santos pies de loto, todas las Glorias a Śrīla Prabhupāda, Śrī Śrī Gaura nitāi y los Vaishnavas.

Soy Syam Krsna Gopal Dasa de he tenido la gracia de escuchar sus clases, en invitación que le hemos hecho en nuestro circulo de estudio en República Dominicana, además de participar en el FMP en clases de la mañana y en los FEP y demás programas.

Quiero informarle oficialmente que me he comprometido con una de sus queridas hija Laksmi Radha DD, llevamos 5 meses de conocernos y hemos establecido una bonita relación devocional, cantamos rondas juntos, leemos juntos, participamos en sus programas juntos.

Antes era de las personas que no entendía como una relación podía ayudarme espiritualmente, pero he cambiado de opinión categóricamente, por favor denos sus bendiciones para que tengamos una exitosa relación consciente Krsna.

HpS - Jaya! TlgaSP. Lea la historia de Devahuti and Kardama Muni juntos. Escribir sus reacciones, ideas, preguntas, para otros contemplar. Es super prevista de Grhastha ashrama.

ASA - Well, pack your carry-on luggage, because the CIA (Caitanya Intelligence Agency) wants you on their next run. What is Nimai planning in Nabadvip just to have fun?

We are looking at the Kapi Dhvaja and thinking. 😖 Too much for us today. Yet, Balarama will always have his way.

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

PAMHO, AGTSP,

This is letter is regarding your teachings and observation, esp with fool like us.

We think we like to be something like Hiranyakasipu with different reasons.

Once you said (in hawaii sanga) if Harsh Pradhan becomes prime minister, he will say Chant Hare Krsna, Otherwise I will launch ICBM.

Famous King Aurangzeb was also like this, externally he lived austere life, he always chanted on rosary.

Even present Pakistan Prime Minister does this.

We are much attracted to the opulence of Krsna of fame, renunciation, knowledge and Power, in decreasing order.

We heard one statement from Gauranga Prabhu in GEV during Narsingh Chaturdashi lecture.

"Hiranyakasipu could tolerate Tornados, but could not tolerate 'no' from a child."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J24Jc3P960

We are very attracted to austerity, that's why we are also attracted to Bhisma, (somebody like Arnold Schazneggar and  still unmarried).

We are ever even attracted to Vishwamitra , who could create heaven himself.

we are even attracted to Shaolin Kung Fu, for that reason. One can does not fear lances, or rods etc.

ASA - We saw a video by a England born Indian who actually lived and study in Shaolin Monastery for several years. He was identifying the halls, people, proccess, friends, teachers, and said that this business about not being affected when kicked in sensitive place when by tourists was not true. It hurt but they were trained to not show it and then slip behind a tree and grimace and double over. 🤔

Seems Krsna book is very important for we who like soldier stories.

We still have hidden desire of head of state, we hear interview of big shots G-7, G-20 with that perspective,

what should be Prabhupada perspective on this problem?

HpS - Adjust to take first initiation = Sambandha, I am servant of Krsna.

Continue to second initation = Abhidheya, I am now developing my service in terms of my Ksatriya, B'mana, et al Karma, like Arjuna.

However we could see all this austerity is for our ego. It hardens us, not soften us. Our pride increases, we become very demanding and loose our soft side. We become very rough, critical.

Even austerity is what attracted us toward your self ( getting up at 130),

but we can see you dont get hard hearted instead you are becoming more soft.

We can see we can get deviated from Bhakti due to Yoga, Jnana and Karma (and decreasing order).

May be I was envious of Krsna he being Yogeswara.

Please guide me, how to use this attraction of austerity in manner which is useful for all souls.

ASA - This helps? Joan of Arc? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8uFwwGvfBM but no solution for you, nor me, nor anyone except for becoming hero of Japa vrata.

hare krsna,

Harsh Pradhan
