Letters to the editor

All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay!

. . . . All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to you Guru Maharaja

. . . .Please accept my respectful obeisances.

I hope you are in very good health.

HpS - Three weeks to answer this letter! This body does not get diseases, this body is a disease. My body is a 73-year old disease. My car is a 21 year old Mercedes. The power-train is excellent, but the luxury items like electric windows and even thermostat on the room heater don't work. Okay. We fix it so that it will work for a few more years and then pass it on to the next generation.

Someone might ask you how old is your disease [body].

First of all I want to apologize for my vague communication through this medium, but we always hold you in our thoughts, hearts and service, always looking forward to your association. I want to thank you for all your service, because thanks to the technology and the devotees who spread on social networks, we can listen to your classes daily, thank you very much for your constant service and mercy to us, thank you for your example of perseverance and trustworthy faith in Srila Prabhupada Guru Maharaja.

It has been a long time since my last letter, at that time we were in service in a temple restaurant and without a pandemic.

The pandemic arrives and we remain at the mercy of the Lord, as Prabhu Lalita Madhava Das has already commented to your esteemed self, now we are delivering prasadam, almost from Monday to Monday we work, they have been months with ups and downs, but we managed to survive. We have not yet finalized our marriage union due to the eternal waiting lists for the pandemic, we have been constant despite everything, supporting each other and being exemplary for each other.

HpS - Your report to just this point makes you an example to the whole universe. [Maybe your were married as god and goddess in your previous life 😎]. Chile is blessed by such ISKCON.

We follow 4 principles, rounds every day the most we can and fixed sadhana daily.

HpS - At least 16???

I am going to the temple to do garland service once a week and that gratifies our heart and spirit, although the allergy keeps us very bad for more or less three days, we have daily association with Raman Reti Devi Dasi with his audio books very good service, very active in reading.

Hoping that this year we can have your association in person.

His would-be servant Manjulali Devi Dasi

HpS - ASA --- !!! Thank you!!

We will write an essay on the future of ISKCON Temples and the Global Pandemic in the DTC. Please take a look at it.

Please have lots of disciples along with Prabhuji.

Your family?

Any dreams of your Poppa?

[March 1, 2021] Panca-tattva: PAMHO, AGTSP HARE KRISHNA GURUDEV; they have connected us internet in the asram. I hope it will be helpful to assist you.🙂

Regarding what we have been talking about about the visa.

Yes, I have a Bachelor's degree. 🙂

Yes I have father and mother two Brothers and one sisters..

My mother and father live together in Buenos Aires both are retired but still are working. Mother is bilingual secretary in a private School and father work with my brother in odontology dentures..

My elder brother has registered me as a worker with tax contributions with the country. I could get a work certificate for a few years possibly to present if necessary.

Surely we are not going to get the visa for tomorrow but if we start the process we may get it for when you return from your next trip to Peru. And possibly we can meet in Peru and work on the subject.

your servant Ptd🐵

HpS - ASA - Yes, we dream sometime of a B'catri like you here and the things that we could do. It is a fact that I should not drive anymore, but also a good strategy seems to be to get the second Karuna-virus shot on March 15th and then see if we can go to Peru by Rama-navami, 21st April.. Actually it would be good to get there by first week in April so that we can be in quarantine for two weeks.

It would be good to get a one year visa as a teacher, and start a rural project, New Asoka Van, where everyone could visit (after two weeks in the garden house just outside the village gate). Maybe in Vallejo Sagrado???

Then maybe three months back in the USA. Three months in Spain, and then New Asokavan in Radha kunda and then. . .  Hare Krsna.

Everyone welcome to travel with us.

Hare Krishna Maharaj.

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

I am writing to you regarding the initiation date. We were thinking of dates of March 25th – March 31^st or April 11th – April 18th, Maharaj. I am able to travel to Srinivas Prabhu's place on these dates, as I have exams during other weeks. Please let us know if you can kindly conduct the initiation on any of these dates, Maharaj.

Your insignificant servant,

Chithkala

HpS - AgtSP. Paoh... Why not have the initiations on Sunday the 28th of March. That same day we are presenting the Sunday Festival lecture for Srinivasa Das and family local temple?

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to your wonderful service to him.

Whenever I finish school work early on any given day, I have been reading Memories, Dreams, and Reflections. So far, it is a very interesting and smooth read. Carl Jung analyzes his childhood with a level of depth that I never used to think about my own childhood experiences. I thought I would write to you on a few points that seemed intriguing to me from the first 50 or so pages.

1) Jung felt more comfortable with God, than with Jesus Christ, because he heard that no correct conception or image can be formed regarding God (27). Based on this page, my preliminary impression was that Jung was attracted by mystery as opposed to certainty, more of an impersonalist approach as opposed to personalism. Is this correct, Guru Maharaja?

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!! I think this can be a very useful endeavor. Please keep your notes.

Next, I have heard criticism (Prof. Shyamdasani?) that it is not exactly an auto-biography that lady who co-wrote it put her biographical notes in as Jung's own comments without complete authorization, so some things may be a little off.

I would say that it might be as you say. I and most of us are contaminated with impersonalism to some extent, and so to some degree negating material personalism for mysticism is a better way to approach God unless you get a 'bija' by the mercy of Guru and Krsna.

In perspective, and maybe not true, but my impression is that Prof. Jung was on the level of Hiranya garbha realization ie. above Virata rupa but not up to Paramatma. All three of these have some impersonalism, but a lot less than a gross Karmi.

2) Just when Jung was six years old, he found an "inexhaustible source of interest" the illustrations of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva in a children's book he had, and secretly believed that they resembled his "original revelation" (17). While it is unclear what exactly the nature of this resemblance is, I think it would be interesting to hold on to the idea and attempt to dissect it further as I read the book.

HpS - Yes! I don't remember that!

3) I was also struck by the deep and negative impression his mother's absence made on Carl Jung. He speaks of his mother repeatedly throughout the pages I've read thus far. He mentioned that his feeling associated with the word "woman" was that of "innate unreliability," due to his mother being away from him for a few months on account of illness (8). I couldn't help but think about the modern practice of sending children to India for a few months or dropping them off at daycare centers for 8 hrs/day so that their mothers can work, and how drastic of an effect it may have on children's psychological and emotional health as they grow. In relation to modern methods of child-rearing, I remembered BG 3.35, where Krishna instructs us that it is better to perform one's one duty, even faultily, than performing another's duty perfectly.

HpS - Haw! Haw! Haw! This is exactly how I was raised. My parents were very nice people for the time and circumstance, but I grew up speaking English and had to go through the Hippy culture.

Seems like you have a good start.

.Srila Prabhupada ----- Jung.

Thank you very much for tolerating me and engaging me in service, Guru Maharaja. I will continue to read the book, and hopefully, I can come up with more substantial notes. I am trying to consciously improve in my devotional service every day, as you instruct. We had a nice Nityananda Trayodasi festival (pictures attached) for Gaura-Nitai, at home.

Your fallen servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi

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

We are ok. Heath is very good. That is what my doctor said.

Improving our sadhana everyday... rounds, reading, worship. more fixed.

This week we started classes at school via ZOOM... pretty good. This is my last year with this group. I've been working with them for 5 years. Then, probably I will take another group for 1st grade...

HpS/ASA - Thank you!!! Next KDh, please tell us a little about the group!! We can't do much but rest now because of headache. It is unusual.

Hare Krisna, Gurudev:

PAMHO.

Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles. Reverencias a todos los blogeros locos y cuerdos.

ASA/HpS: !!! 🙏 🙏 !🙏

Espero que se encuentre animado cuando lea este mensaje.

La salud es para los jóvenes. Hay un dicho que dice: " Si a partir de los 50 te levantas de la cama y no te duele nada es que estás ..... muerto!"

HpS - Yes, we read in one Purport, Srila Prabhupada said that the energy in the body is finished by fifty years old, maybe you can push it to 55. Yet, I remember that when I was young I had stomach aches and different things also.

Por aquí seguimos buscando el equilibrio y haciendo ajustes para el cuidado del alma, mente y cuerpo.

Teniendo en cuenta lo ocupado que está usted siempre he pensado participar en el blog cada dos meses (ni mucho ni poco) en vez de escribir cada mes. No hay grandes cambios externos, seguimos desde hace mas de ocho meses con el grupo de lectura de Bhagavad Gita lunes y jueves; y también nos reunimos los viernes (pese al covid) con otra familia de devotos cercana para cantar, leer, comentar, tomar prasadam e intercambiar regalos.

HpS - Una experiencia de virus Koruna es que no necesita muchos amigos, no? Si, son devotos es bueno.

En lo interno los cambios son imperceptibles. Solo se perciben cuando miramos varias décadas atrás.

Por ejemplo hace mas de treinta años era consumidor habitual de marihuana, LSD, cocaina, heroina, etc y desde hace mas de venticinco años sólo soy adicto al azucar (dulces y otras comidas), y de forma esporádica galletas de chocolate y algún caramelo sabor café.

También el sadhana hace que cambiemos nuestra perspectiva del medio ambiente y veamos que el mundo cumple perfectamente con su función sin ningún fallo.

HpS - !!! [Isopanisad, Invocation]. Entonces, estamos poco pertubado cuando la gente son asustados por algo que pasa con ganancias, perdido... guerra nuclear entra Korea Norte y EEUU... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. Es como una pelicula en el cine.

Creo que tengo un cierto gusto por el sadhana (me sienta bien) y estamos atisbando un interés por lo que hay detrás del sadhana. Poco a poco estamos preparándonos para encontrarnos con esa persona tan interesante a la que le gusta tanto jugar y hacer bromas.

Así que desde hace unos 38 años que conocimos al Acarya (a través de sus libros) han sucedido muchas cosas buenas y su influencia es bastante notable en nuestras vidas.

Agradezco profundamente a sus seguidores fieles, entre los que se encuentra usted, que esten ayudandolo para que los mas torpes no nos quedemos rezagados.

Sin mas y deseandole a usted y a los demás blogueros lo mejor para su avance espiritual se despide

vuestro sirviente

Jayanta das

P.D. Le envio unas fotos de casa en Enero.

HpS - Y El Nitai y La Sarasvati? Quienes son la famlia con quien associa?? Vida por telecomunicacion? Nuevo adornos para sus Deidades??
