Letters to the editor

Bhadra-rupa Das writes us:

Dear Hanuman Presaka Swami Maharaj,

Dear Radhika Raman Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, this album which was inspired by the Gita Govinda has also created a big impact for the Ministry of Culture from the Government of India represented by India's National Academy of Music, Dance and Drama in New Delhi, which is the highest authority of Arts in India.

I attached an article written by the India's National Academy of Music, Dance and Drama of New Delhi about their impression and the description of how it was conducted in the research of this album guided by this prestigious national academy. In this article, this national academy mentioned twice the name of my Guru Maharaj as my spiritual master who gave me this instruction and HH Hrdayananda Maharaja, as the artistic director of this album. By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, according to this attached article, this album has written history in Indian music.

In this attached article, this National Academy stated this album as:

"This is the first time that a full music album based on the Gita Govinda has been produced and released by an international music company such as Sony Music. This album aims to create a niche for Indian music in the international music field and industry".

"This album is proving a global sensation, a product of Dr Luis De La Calle's comprehensive effort, leaving no stone unturned in taking a historical/mythological work into a musical album on the global stage. This kind of intelligence inspires others to come out of their shells and do exceptional work". 

The National Academy of Music, Dance and Drama of New Delhi will send this attached article to the Indian media (newspapers, magazines, radios and TV) across the country for its publication.

By the mercy of Srila Prabhu, for nex music albums which will be inspired in the vaishnava padavali, we will have full support from the Indian Government.

I humbly beg for your blessings to continue successfully with this personal instruction from my GM to finish it in this lifetime.

Thank you very much for your saintly association.

Your servant,

Bhara Rupa das

We hope Prof. BrD can participate in our movie, Diary of a Traveling Creature, and Solaris.



AGTSP!!

paoho.

We are trying to make a practical plan for Krsna. We are trying to hear the suggestions that Krsna and others make.

Go to Houston for Rama-navami?

Invite Subal-sakha Das and Mataji to come to Houston for initiation?

Seems that just going to Houston while in the USA is a good practice.

Then we could coordinate Houston Rama-navami festival with Peru festival!

What do you think?

Subra Devi Dasi and Caitanya-caritamrta Das think it is fine.

THEN.... try to go to South America for six months by Rama-vijaya, October.

TODAS LAS GLORIAS SEAN A NUESTRO ACARYA SRILA PRABHUPADA!!

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A USTED. IMPORTANTE GURUDEVA!

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A LOS VAISNAVAS!

Este instante es importante para mi, porque aun deseo ser parte del Sankirtana de SP bajo su refugio o morir en el intento.

Mis rondas vienen mejorando, poco a poco, mi mente puede dar muchas excusas pero tomaré la responsabilidad de mi negligencia, como conversamos en la ultima entrevista personal que tuve con usted, estuve de pareja con P. Ananta K. d. Ahora esa relación terminó hace casi 1 año. (El mundo artístico que frecuentábamos era muy muy bohemio y desbordado como para seguir un estilo de vida Hare Krsna.

Estuvimos asociándonos más con M. Jambavati (lei que se accidento, quizá por eso dejó de escribir) la osa mayor, nos a invitó a realizar distribución de libros SP, juntas, también con P. Lanka V. D. M. Yúgala k dd, con quien compartimos muchas perspectivas y quien me apoya llevándole maha a mis hijos, etc. haciendo amistad de la forma más genuina que tengo para ser.

Mis hijos Nitay y Balaram este 2021 comenzaron a vivir con su papá, para llevar el ultimo año escolar y seguir estudios superiores. Ellos están formando su autonomía de pensamiento y decisiones. Los extraño, pero al parecer están bien, su papa puede darles más aparatos tecnológicos y cobertura para sus estudios, ellos necesitan ahora creo un varón como apoyo, y su papá quiere estar cerca a ellos también. veremos como va este aspecto.

Estoy laborando en ONPE (oficina nacional de procesos electorales) como años pasados, pero estamos al sur de Lima, una provincia que se llama Cañete- Asia, siempre hay oportunidad aquí de hablar de Krsna, a veces pongo sus clases con buen volumen y escuchan , preguntan, quieren saber del yoga, vegetarianismo, y explicamos de acuerdo como los veo. Nuestro contrato acaba quincena de Abril, no queremos renovar, porque queremos ver la posibilidad de estar cerca de ud. los meses que pase en Perú, somos "multiaprendices" podemos aprender cualquier servicio.

Agradecemos a Srila Prabhupada por su legado, por darnos a Maestros que inspiran a la REALIDAD como usted lo hace, gracias por SU VIDA dedicada a ofrecer cada minuto al servicio devocional transcendental como usted lo hace, gracias por enseñarnos a mirarnos dentro de nosotros mismos.

Gracias por ayudarme a recordar que quiero vivir para Krsna aun desde nuestra pequeñez.

Gracias por aparecer seguido en mis sueños, tengo la seguridad de que toda su misericordia va más allá de este plano físico, aun con almas confundidas como yo.

aspirante a sirviente.

PD: edité esta carta de la carta de informe que envié para su VP, nosé si llego, por eso envío esta carta. Se que no hay grandes noticias, perdone que no escriba seguido. estar lejos de los devotos en Gaura purnima (la pase laborando) me lanzó hacia aquí.

Gracias a nuestro hermano Patraka por su amistad admirable.

ALL GLORIES BE TO OUR ACARYA SRILA PRABHUPADA !!

ALL GLORIES TO YOU. IMPORTANT GURUDEVA!

ALL GLORIES TO THE VAISNAVAS!

This moment is important to me, because I still wish to be part of SP's Sankirtana under his shelter or die trying.

My rounds are improving, little by little, my mind can give many excuses but I will take responsibility for my negligence, as we discussed in the last personal interview I had with you, I was in a relationship with P. Ananta K. D. Now that relationship ended almost 1 year ago. (The artistic world we frequented was too Bohemian and overflowing to follow a Hare Krsna lifestyle).

We were associating more with M. Jambavati (I read that she had an accident, maybe that's why she stopped writing) the big bear, invited us to distribute SP books, together, also with P. Lanka, VDM. Yúgala k dd, with whom we shared many perspectives and who supports me by bringing Maha to my children, etc. making friends in the most genuine way that I have to be.

My sons, Nitay and Balaram, this 2021 began to live with their father, to take the last year of school and pursue higher education. They are forming their autonomy of thought and decisions. I miss them, but apparently they are fine, their father can give them more technological devices and coverage for their studies, they now need a male for support, and their father wants to be close to them too. We will see how this aspect goes.

HpS - It sounds good. In Kali-yuga we expect maximum(!!!) 80% properly social arrangements, no? That's the BEST we can expect. The rest is accomplished by being Sankirtan partners in Srila Prabhupada's army, Lord Jesus Christ's army...

I am working in ONPE (national office of electoral processes) like past years, but we are south of Lima, a province called Cañete-Asia, there is always an opportunity here to talk about Krsna, sometimes I put their classes with good volume and they listen They ask, they want to know about yoga, vegetarianism, and we explain accordingly how I see them. Our contract ends the fortnight of April, we do not want to renew, because we want to see the possibility of being close to you. the months that I spend in Peru, we are "multi-learners" we can learn any service.

HpS - If we come to Peru it will probably be in September...

We thank Srila Prabhupada for his legacy, for giving us Teachers who inspire REALITY as you do, thank you for YOUR LIFE dedicated to offering every minute of transcendental devotional service as you do, thank you for teaching us to look within ourselves.

Thank you for helping me remember that I want to live for Krsna even from our littleness.

HpS - He's a real rascal! Maybe your should worship a more practical persona like Jehovah or Allah or Sriman Narayana. 😁

Thank you for appearing often in my dreams, I am sure that all your mercy goes beyond this physical plane, even with confused souls like me.

HpS - Krsna uses us, you, me, devotees through the Paramatma.

would-be servant.

PS: I edited this letter from the report letter that I sent to your VP, I don't know if it came, that's why I'm sending this letter. I know there is no great news, excuse me for not writing often. being away from the devotees in Gaura purnima (I passed her laboring) threw me here.

Thanks to our brother Patraka for his admirable friendship.

HpS - Thank you so, so much for writing! Thank you so, so much for being a good person. Very, very good person. Your honesty and sincerity (and sense of humor??) radiate out through the world you inhabit.

Yes, there were too many letters at Y-puja, January 1st. Asked if people could send and annual service report on THEIR birthday.

Thank you. Respects to your sons and husband.

asa[e], ifd, science and judaism

CmDD sends this link:

It is short. We watched it.

To us the venerable speaker is expressing a position we have been delightd to contact with some frequency.

One local Jewish professor expressed to us that most Jewish people believe that God is a person, but He is so great that we can never catch up with Him.

We can follow His footprints.

We can see His hand in things, but He is so great that we can never catch up.

This would be Paramatma-Vada as we understand:

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/2/11/

The presenter here seems to fall more within the Bhagavata analysis of Brahman than Paramatma. It is like BG Chapter 10, no? Vibhuti mat sattva.

If our analysis is correct then our suggestion to her and people in her position would be:

https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/10/42/

Of course, these are general observations. After just a 4-minute video it is hard have a very personal appreciation of anyone.

Hare Krsna // Hare Rama.



hare krsna

Gurudeva por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Intentando ayudarlo en su sankirtan continuamos atendiendo a nuestras señorias Goura Nitay en casa desde mangalartik, yapa, SB y estamos dando prasadam a travez de Vrindavan House (fast food vegan) asi nos hemos mantenido durante la pandemia.

Algunos fines de semana vamos al templo.

Guru Maharaja recibi una invitación para ir de cocinero en el restaurante Govinda de New Vrindavan EEUU por un periodo de 6 meses y me piden que presente una confirmacion hecha por mi Guru dando a conocer que si estoy iniciado y 2da iniciación.

Disculpe que lo moleste con temas como este.

Pero intentare ir si krsna asi lo desea se realizara.

Su eterno sirviente Rkd desde Paraguay

HpS-ASA - AGTSP!! Paoho...... We just got to this letter. I cam three days ago, and we also read your other letter labeled "Urgent" with same theme. Thank you for your determination. It is not a molestation.

"Rohini-kumara Das, Raul Ramirez Flores, 28 Feb 1986, 16 Aug 2006", this is you, no? Did you take second initiation? No, record of it, but our records are not perfect.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,

We were struggling with our physical body, slept 14= 6+4+4 in 16 hours.. On Gaura Purnima, just did evening program. Then prayed to Lord Gauranga for help.

he gave this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhJnnwoM60o

Hanuman Goes to Lanka from ASA Audiovisual.

We pasted pictures of different stages/poses in our room. It helps us to do some practical exercise.

ASA - Harsh goes to Lanka!

Harsh Pradhan's mind like the Character of Rambo played in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambo_III. Renunciant, yet selfless fighter. He fought alone to release prisoner in Russia captured fort. We have meditated on this character a lot.

ASA - Rama (Bol)?

Then the flash came , what Rambo did was reflection what Hanuman ji did when he went to Lanka. WoW. WoW.

Everything here is a reflection of Goloka, no?

HAN-u-MAN, went to Lanka, found sita, then went for full-on attack.

We heard many times from your lips of allegory/metaphor of Hanuman finding Sita (devotional activity) in the living entity, who is caged in inside demoniac army of mind, ego and conditioning. Hanuman Ji does not go for front on battle, but in stealth mode to interact with Sita, without any demon (ego and mind ) know it.

HpS - Then he decides to come out after his mission is accomplished and wreak a little havoc.

Senyor, for the Sake of the world, can you expand on the allegory of Hanuman goes to Lanka?

For a preacher, sometimes he becomes small to evade the Doorman (who are they in Human body), sometime he fights with Lankani the gatekeeper etc.

It will be nice meditation for us at least, who have archetypes of war movies. So why not be Spy like a Hanuman and Warrior like Hanuman.

May be there should a web-page: hps.monkeyespionage.com or hps.monkeyspy.com.

Monkey salute,

please accept a Banana

Material world movies are reflection only

HpS - We've heard that Srila Prabhupada told George Harrison that he could write songs based upon those of Bh. Vinode Thakura. He said, BVT says that life is unstable like a drop of water on the leaf of a lotus flower and you can say that it is unstable like a drop of water on the leaf of a ROSE!

So, modernizing the analogies, pastimes, is universal, no?

We've done it to some degree with the Sundara Khanda.

It seems we can consolidate some of these ideas in our DTC-UT World Classical Literature, which we are doing, now.

Sunday we will give a class for ISKCON Houston. Maybe we could do it then. We will meditate on your illuminations and try to do the proper thing!!

Hanuman goes to Lanka.

Another letter. Let's go:>>>
