Letters to the editor

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a Su Sankirtan Eterno!!!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias.

En esta Maratón de libros que fue en diciembre 2020 distribuí 437 libros entre pequeños y medianos de Srila Prabhupada.

También 158 libros de S.S. Hridayananda Dasa Goswami y 54 libros de S.S. Bir Krishna Das Goswami.

Espero que Srila Prabhupada este muy feliz.

Estuve todo el mes de diciembre con la asociación de Prabhu Adveita Takur Dasa y Prabhu Jivesvara Nityananda (discípulo de S.S. Jayapataka Swami).

En enero seguimos distribuyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada.

Ahora febrero estamos en cuarentena.

Mi esposa Nadiya Nivasi Dasi sigue trabajando desde casa por internet.

También tomando los cuidados necesarios ante este virus, pero bueno, solo esperamos NUNCA olvidarnos de Krsna y Balarama.

Tengo algunos proyectos sobre la siembra y que sembrar y también sobre la medicina naturista. (todo dependera de la misericordia del Señor Krsna).

Solo Krsna sabe cual sera nuestro destino...

Mi actividad sigue siendo la misma, distribuir los libros de Srila Prabhupada y sembrar.

Cuando termine está cuarentena, mi actividad seguira siendo la misma.

Sankirtan local!!!😊😊😊

Hablo de manera regular con Prabhu Janardana Dasa, hablamos sobre algunos proyectos que están vinculados con la ecología y la siembra, viendo ideas para ayudar al Sankirtan de Srila Prabhupada.

Mí Sadhana, 4 principios, 16 rondas, mangal artik 5 am, lectura de los libros de Srila Prabhupada marcha bien. Hay algunos días donde no puedo conectarme a FMP, por el internet (la señal falla).

Escribí mí reporte anual en Reports.

Bueno Guru Maharaja, me despido, que Nrsimha lo proteja mucho.

Hare Krsna.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and His Eternal Sankirtan !!!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, please take my respectful obeisances.

In this Book Marathon that was in December 2020, I distributed 437 small and medium-sized books by Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - 😮 😮 😮

😮

 

Also 158 books by S.S. Hridayananda Dasa Goswami and 54 books by S.S. Bir Krishna Das Goswami.

I hope Srila Prabhupada is very happy.

HpS - Not only very happy, but deeply happy. The seeds are planted and now they will grow.

I was the whole month of December with the association of Prabhu Advaita Thakur Dasa and Prabhu Jivesvara Nityananda (disciple of S.S. Jayapataka Swami).

In January we continue to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books.

Now February we are in quarantine.

My wife Nadiya Nivasi Dasi continues to work from home online.

Also taking the necessary care against this virus, but hey, we just hope to NEVER forget about Krsna and Balarama.

I have some projects on sowing and what to sow and also on naturopathic medicine. (everything will depend on the mercy of Lord Krsna).

Only Krsna knows what our destiny will be ...

HpS - Because we have free will, somethings even He does not know. The Gopis surprise Him. Little children with the help of their mother makes surprises for their father at his birthday party.

My activity remains the same, distributing Srila Prabhupada's books and sowing.

When this quarantine ends, my activity will remain the same.

Local Sankirtan !!! 😊😊😊

I speak regularly with Prabhu Janardana Dasa, we talk about some projects that are linked to ecology and planting, seeing ideas to help Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan.

My Sadhana, 4 principles, 16 rounds, 5 am mangal artik, reading from Srila Prabhupada's books is going well. There are some days where I can't connect to FMP, over the internet (the signal fails).

I wrote my annual report in Reports.

Well Guru Maharaja, I say goodbye, may Nrsimha protect you a lot.

Hare Krsna.

Gadai Gauranga Dasa

HpS - You are very nice example of Lord Caitanya's devotee. Thank you for your association. Please engage us in your service.

AGTSP!!!

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to YOU.

Please accept our humble obeisances. PAMHO

Dear Maharaj,

Dear Radhika Raman Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

It has been a long time!

My daily prayers You are kept safe and protected by Lord Nrisimhadeva in this special time we are living in the world.

I attached the video clip of my solo album inspired in the Gita Govinda (as personal instruction asked by GM) which was released worldwide by Sony Music International Japan:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YY1apYi-Q0&list=RDGMEMCMFH2exzjBeE_zAHHJOdxg&index=8

The lyrics of this attached video clip which is sung in Spanish belongs to one of the Ashtapadis from the Gita Govinda and it is performed with the same "Raga GUJJARI"" and in "Ekatali Tal" used by Srila Jayadeva Goswami.

Here are the lyrics of this video clip originally sung by Srimati Radharani who reveals secrets to her intimate female companion about her feelings describing the spell-binding beauty of Sri Krishna's form:

"His black hair with his peacock feathers,

from my sweet young boy,

is like a thick black cloud,

surrounded by a colorful rainbow.

I'm unable to stop thinking of my Shyamasundara

because He’s my love

He is playing on his flute, Mohana

Music flows out from his lips movements,

these are sweet like “Bandhu”flowers from Vraja.

Oh my Shyama, we will see each other beneath the Kadamba tree.

His amazing overflowing love makes this song sing.

Cupid's power is immersing me in intense love for my beloved Prince,

My sweet love, My beautiful young boy,

He is my Shyamasundara".

The musical instruments used in this video clip are Inca's wind instruments (from 5 000 years ago), my flute invention "De La Calle Quena Flute (the inca's headjoint connected to the European transverse flute) and Latin and European instruments from a classical symphony orchestra. The musical style used in this video clip is "Huayno" (an andean style from the pre-inca time) with European musical arrangements (harmonies, counterpoint, orchestration etc). 

This album is an official profound research artistic collaboration between the Sangeet Natak Academy of Delhi in India, the University of Geneva, Switzerland and the Ithaca College in New York, USA.

If you would like to share this video clip with the Vaishnava community, please you are most welcome Dear Maharaj and Radhika Ramana Prabhu..

I kindly beg for your blessings to finish in this lifetime with the rest of the 292 poems by the acaryas vaishnavas which was asked by my Guru Maharaj as a personal instruction to compose their music.

Always grateful with your saintly association, 

Your servant,

Bhadra Rupa das 

PS.

Dear Maharaj,

Dear Radhika Raman Prabhu,

I forgot to tell you that by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, the Record Collectors Magazine (the Japanese Billboard magazine), one of the most prestigious and popular music magazines in Japan, elected this album "Rainbow of Endless Love" (with the previous video clip), as one of the best albums of 2020, along with albums by Elton John, Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, Charlie Parker, Santana, Bruce Springsteen, AC / DC, and Jimi Hendrix.

Thank you for your association.

Your servant,

Bhadra Rupa das

ASA-HpS - AgtSP! Paoho. It is very delightful to hear from you. All success in broadcasting the mercy of Srila Rupa Goswami and his Acharyas. For our readers let us append your webpage address: https://www.luisdelacalle.com/

Our first project is Kirtaniya Sada Harih! Then, very prominent now is making a movie: Diary of a Traveling Creature - The Ultimate Trip. Maybe Monkey and Piggy will stop their boat at your door one day in their quest.

A very interesting clip of Peter 0'toole in Man from La Mancha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo7VlD66ISM

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you very much for sending the DTC paper format scans. I will upload it to Google Drive.

We miss your association a lot! From Monday this week, the temple has been open for darshan. We went for mangala arti after a long time yesterday and it was so wonderful. I can always feel your mercy when we enthusiastically participate in the morning program but still it would be nice if we can meet you in person. In a few hours, I will go to the temple for my Syana arti service.

Work wise, it has been very busy and the bhakti sastri program is also taking up lots of my time, most of which is administrative. I am looking for someone in the community to take up that role so that I can try to start and focus on other educational programs.

 I am planning to sit this weekend and complete my work on TPP. I am very sorry for the delay Gurudeva.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa 

HpS - ASA - Thank you for your effort. There seems to be value in these manual Diarys, Journals, Sketch Books, but we also don't want to store a bunch of mediocre material from a hopefully mediocre devotee. AGTSP!!

Any feedback that people can give on this effort would really help. Not just on our Journals, but on the general principle of Journalism.

Prabhu, can you send us the link for accessing the Google archives. I think you sent it before so maybe you can just reference that Blog post.

I will put it in the Kapi Dhvaja.

Radha Kala-chandji Ki Jai! They need a bigger temple!!! Need to have a devotee community occupying 85% of all the local buildings!

Hare Krishna, dear gurudeva. Pamho, AGTSP!

I was about to tell you some time ago what is my idea about associating with you personally and in general as your disciples.

I believe that today more than ever we have to meditate on the association of vani and vapuh. I believe that you have given us a lot of mercy in vapuh association by coming to Peru so many times and I believe that it is time that we mature and strengthen our vapuh association more.

You have taught us many things and I think it is time for us to stand up for ourselves and apply everything we learned from you to our personal life and sankirtan.

I am of the opinion that we should not fall into a dependent mentality. Expecting you to do most of the work. I am ashamed just to think that we are even waiting for funding to carry out projects. We don't even support you enough for your airfare. We serve it in a mediocre and easy way.

HpS - You, devotees in Peru, do a lot for our ASA Sankirtan. We feel that we are in your debt. Of course, we are all little engines running on Srila Prabhupada's electicity.

I believe that we would only have to ask for your advice and take charge of the projects, providing the material and human resources.

You have already done your part in a wonderful way. We still don't do enough. I do not want to think that when you return to God we do not know what to do and we remain lamenting with our arms crossed.

I am of the opinion that we continue to associate in a virtual way like these last months and you go to Vrndaban when things get better and advise us from there.

It is very risky to come here. Some devotees were infested with covid and many will not even be vaccinated anytime soon. Many take public transportation and live in risky areas, etc. Being in physical association, I do not think it is highly recommended, no matter how many measures are taken. It's hard enough thinking about you going away in 2024, I don't want to imagine it happening sooner because of our negligence and dependent mentality.

Devotees will want to see you and it come from various places. They will want to be with you to do the programs, etc. I don't think it is a good idea for the health of you and the devotees as well.

We are very attached to your body. I think it will be a great challenge for us to give up your physical presence and develop more adherence to your instructions. From wherever you are, you can guide us to built a community as you suggest or other projects. There are many devotees entrepreneurs here who can do it. Come together according to various common interests and resources at various sites.

Your projects for a movie and so on can be done very well virtually. On our part we have to commit ourselves more in his Sankirtan.

In any case, if you decide to come, you have to stay in a place away from the city and its pollution and not in a crowded place. The Chosica asrama, for example, where access can be restricted. Even that would be troublesome. You can also leave a little more time and come in September, etc.

I don't think at all that you going to Vrndaban is a comfortable attitude. We know that you will do your Sankirtan to the end, but please let us help you further and take care of the details.

We have you on hand every day. I believe that we must mature as disciples and become more attached to your instructions.

I also promise to give many suggestions on the blog. I also have to meditate on your suggestion of Don Quixote and Vyasadeva and give my perspective. It will be at another time.

I want to take more advantage of the wonderful association you gives us and commit myself more, so that when it is your turn to leave your Sankirtan remains strong. The devotees will say: Oh! That is Hanumatpresaka Swami's disciple, what a beautiful service he does to his guru and Srila Prabhupada! And you will be proud of us wherever Krishna sends you.

Your servant,

Laksmana-agraja das

HpS - ASA -- Thank you for your advice. The US Government Tourism website gives similar advice, but does not say not to go. If we go to Peru, it would be to go to one rural place where we can develop a New Ashokavan. Yes, we would have to have proper quarantine arrangements for visitors.

We need to have slower global life.

We will get our final vaccination on Monday.

I think it is good to try to visit, but again, with the perspective of making a change to the basic community idea of life in Peru, Tennessee, India.
