Letters to the editor

Querdo Gurudev

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias a Sus pies de loto.

Estaba preocupada por el ekadasi de ayer lunes 8 marzo. En el calendario vaisnava que siguen casi todos los devotos, está por zonas y para cordoba argentina, el ekadasi , que en realidad dice maha dvadasi, sería hoy martes 9.

Ya que en El querido kapi Dvaja está el calendario vaisnava, es el que estoy siguiendo con todo mi corazón.

Tal vez mi preocupación es tonta porque si Usted lo pone ahí, supongo que es para todos los países en que estamos sus discípulos,

Sólo pensé en los devotos que están haciendolo hoy .

Y también

me acordé cuando.. hace un tiempo atrás, cuando le pregunté sobre esos días del año que son :

ekadasi, maha dvadasi y al día siguiente recien romper ayuno. Usted me dijo como hacerlo. Me preguntaba si está vez era uno de esas veces... Y quería pedirle que cuando así sea, pueda ponerlo en Su inspirante Boletín.

Por favor perdone cualquier ofensa cometida sin querer.

Intentando avanzar en este difícil Kali Yuga,

su intento de discípula:

J. P. Radha

Dear Gurudev

Please accept my respectful obeisances at His lotus feet.

I was worried about the ekadasi yesterday, Monday March 8th. In the Vaisnava calendar that almost all devotees follow, it is by zones and for Argentine Cordoba, the ekadasi, which actually says maha dvadasi, would be today Tuesday the 9th.

Since in dear Kapi Dvaja there is the Vaisnava calendar, it is the one that I am following with all my heart.

HpS - Jaya! It is calculated for Nashville, Tennesee. When I calculated for Lima the Ekadasi was a Dvadasi fast, the next day, so you may have to adjust for local differences.

Perhaps my concern is silly because if you put it there, I suppose it is for all the countries where your disciples are, I only thought of the devotees who are doing it today.

HpS - Yes, it is for where we are camping, so you have to adjust for local times

And also I remembered when .. a while ago, when I asked him about those days of the year that are: ekadasi, maha dvadasi and the next day they just break a fast. You told me how to do it. I was wondering if this time was one of those times ... And I wanted to ask that when it is, I can put it in his inspiring Newsletter.

Please forgive any offense committed inadvertently.

Trying to advance in this difficult Kali Yuga,

An attempt as a disciple:

HpS - ASA === The Kapi Dhvaja has a link to the full ASA Calendar and there you can see that it is calculated for our local time. Try to follow the Vaisnava calendar as best as you can. It helps. Srila Prabhupada did it, and Krsna will adjust for any mistakes we make!!

We want to write more (and also not write more), but the decision is being taken by our occular orbiters, eyeballs.

Dead.

Head

Starting to ache.

99% good day.

Alarm went off at !!! 3.37AM. WHY??? We set it for 2.37AM . . . Bath, laundry, FMP... Ah, ha!!! It is Daylight Savings Time. Our clock reset it self.

👺 - Trust me, I am a robot.

Did a lot of work on the PPTX for tonight at 9PM for San Diego class.

Walking/Talking with NgD.

Such nice reports in the letters today, no?

Krsna should be able to do SO much with efforts like these.

We never harvest in the same season we plant.

Seems like we can only become pure devotees after we are dead. This world is so dull. Maybe we get association that will kill us. The Braja vasis got that. Krsna "left them" and they were all dead living people.

-

Hope Abhirama, Nanda-raja and everyone are getting GREAT results from their special mercy. Becoming devotees on the same level as Narada Muni.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Gurudev, sé que Su salud ha estado un poco inestable, y entiendo que entiendes que esto va ocurriendo cuando el cuerpo ha envejecido. Mi cuerpo de casi 41 años, está perdiendo también la capacidad visual, las articulaciones duelen, y la energía es menor. Como soy una madre de 2 hijos, pienso en cómo organizar la vida para cumplir con mi deber, material, emocional y espiritual con ellos, pensando que en 20 o 25 años más tendré que comenzar a prepararme para dejar éste cuerpo, y que ellos puedan continuar sus vidas de adultos.

Actualmente estoy cantando mis rondas temprano, luego empiezo a trabajar (desde la casa). Jagannatha se ocupa las tareas de los niños, desayuno y almuerzo para todos. Luego me ocupo de mis hijos y de descansar o avanzar en los cursos que estoy tomando. Por la tarde salimos al parque con los niños y después nos vamos a dormir.

Sigo con el curso de Bhakti vaibhava (1er canto capítulo 16). Comencé otro curso que se llama "Gestión de conflictos en Organizaciones" (muy útil).

Y comencé con un curso de inglés para ver si algún día puedo aprender tu idioma😃

.

Con el equipo de Vaishnava CARE Chile, estamos haciendo y transmitiendo clases diarias de Srimad Bhagavatam (canto 1).

También quiero comentarle que algunos días vamos a cocinar y atender a las deidades del templo, y quisimos ir un día la familia completa. Fue muy lindo compartir el servicio con ellos. Le comparto unas fotografías.

Sé que está recibiendo muchas cartas y no ha podido responder otras cartas que he enviado. Pero espero que pueda leer ésta, para que sepa que sigo viva material y espiritualmente, unto a mi familia.

Mis eternas reverencias Guru Maharaja👏

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!

Gurudev, I know that Your health has been a bit unstable, and I understand that you understand that this happens as the body has aged. My body, which is almost 41 years old, is also losing its visual capacity, the joints hurt, and the energy is lower. As I am a mother of 2 children, I think about how to organize life to fulfill my duty, material, emotional and spiritual with them, thinking that in 20 or 25 more years I will have to start preparing to leave this body, and that they can continue their adult lives.

HpS - ASA - Maha dhi. Very intelligent.

I am currently singing my rounds early, then I start working (from home). Jagannatha takes care of the children's chores, breakfast and lunch for everyone. Then I take care of my children and rest or advance in the courses that I am taking. In the afternoon we go out to the park with the children and then we go to sleep.

ASA - 😴 and dream of Krsna?

I continue with the course of Bhakti vaibhava (1st canto chapter 16). I started another course called "Conflict Management in Organizations" (very useful).

And I started with an English course to see if one day I can learn your language😃

HpS - I think it will be our language for only three more years. Then we may be speaking Vrajavasi Pig language, if we are fortunate.

.With the Vaishnava CARE Chile team, we are doing and broadcasting daily Srimad Bhagavatam classes (song 1).

I also want to tell you that some days we are going to cook and serve the deities of the temple, and we wanted to go one day as a whole family. It was very nice to share the service with them. I share some photographs with you.

ASA - Super. A different family, cooks, cleans, sings, worships, each day!

I know that he is receiving many letters and has not been able to answer other letters that I have sent. But I hope he can read this one, so that he knows that I am still alive materially and spiritually, together with my family.

ASA - Lazy Monkey, lazy Pig, do not write letters big. 🙊 🐖

My eternal obeisances Guru Maharaja👏

ASA: abhīkṣṇaśaḥ. https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/10/47/63/. The Evil One is always trying to catch us the moment we forget Krsna, but if we chant 16-nice rounds everyday we will always remember Krsna (sometimes with a good kick in the posterior).

Hare Krishna, Gurudev, please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope this letter find you well

First of all, I want to apologize for my lack of communication on this blog. Its been so much time from the last report so i am going to make a summary

ASA - We also apologize for not communicating more on this Blog. Thank you for only making a summary, but hop it is good window into your Sankirtan.

• We are living in Laguna Verde, (V region), its a rural zone of Valparaiso (forest and sea, nice landscape)
• We are in the process of building a house, and we dream in a future receiving Srila Prabhupada´s guests here.
• We are homeschooling our kids, they are my best asocciation in this moment that i live far away from devotees
• I am in lecture groups with another moms and vaishnavis, when we read every day at least 5 minutes and comment our reflection and doubts each other, through whatsapp, in one group we are in second canto of srimad bhagavatam by this method, in another one we are reading first canto again, and in other group we read Bhagavad Gita.
• In this moment of my life, its been hard for me getting up at Bhrama Muhurta as other years, because working in the house with shovel, hammer, and all this construction things make feel so tired, but i chant my minimun 16 rounds as early as i can every days and i really really want to improve this because i love mangala arati time.

HpS - ASA --- You just have to learn how to do it properly. Then you will get more hammer and and shovel work done better. "Slow down. Get more work done!", Old Carpenter.

• We follow 4 principles

ASA - So do we (but too many sweets sometimes!).

• i am learning a lot about orchards and composting, its been very interesting

Thank you very much for all the inspiration in FMP and Srimad bhagavatam class, i pray for being a better disciple. Please forgive my negligence

your aspirant servant

Indu lekha devi dasi

HpS - What are the names of your family and families, family members?? The Gopis in Vraja are not really married (?) they just think they have husbands, but they never quite appear? Mad women.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,

As our movement and Kaliyuga is based on chanting.

can you kindly elaborate or guide for difference between transcendental and mundane sound?

how is ether involved in both case?

Robot Harsh

Every thing is under control.

ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/3/26/32/ and the subsequent verses(s) might help??? More??? Thank you for all of your association.

Canakhya Pandita said that poverty cannot stay where there is constant endeavor, ignorance cannot stay where there is constant recitation of the Vedas, and sinful reaction cannot stay where there is constant repetition of the Holy Name of Hari.
