Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Paoho! AGTSP! Reached High Springs, Florida a few minutes ago. We stopped at Pensacola last night to rest after 8hr drive. Today drove for the remaining 4hrs. Weather is very nice mid 80's. 🙏

Hare Krsna, querido Maharaja. Espero que se encuentre muy bien! 🤗

Hace ya tres meses que no me he dado el tiempo para escribirle. Lamento mucho mi ingratitud. Espero mejorar cada día, y que mis próximos reportes no sean tan distantes entre ellos.

Han pasado muchas cosas en mi vida en este último tiempo, y estoy ansiosa por contarle algunos detalles que me parecen relevantes.

* Lo malo...

Laboralmente, sigo trabajando en la misma empresa hace ya un año. Nos dedicamos a instalar paneles solares térmicos para agua caliente en viviendas sociales.

Me gusta mucho mi trabajo, especialmente porque soy una herramienta de servicio a la comunidad y al mundo.

Es muy demandante y he estado muy estresada -mi jefe es un tanto "especial"- pero fuera de todo eso, me siento agradecida con Krsna por permitirme servirlo de esta manera.

Mi sadhana se ha visto afectado tremendamente con el ritmo de vida que llevo. Me ha costado mucho levantarme temprano y cantar mis rondas antes de salir a trabajar. Me cuesta ingresar al FMP durante la semana, porque aquí en Chile son las 7.30am y a esa hora me preparo para salir de casa. Sin embargo, los fines de semana me conecto para compartir con usted y los devotos, y así recargarme de energía espiritual para comenzar con fuerza la semana que viene.

La calidad de mis rondas ha decaído mucho, y la cantidad -a veces- no ha permanecido constante. Si me quedan rondas del día anterior, trato de cantarlas al día siguiente, pero muchas veces he acumulado demasiadas rondas, y no he terminado de cantarlas 😓

.

Le pido disculpas por esta falta... Estoy intentado mejorar en mi compromiso con usted, con Prabhupada y con Krsna.

Mi salud ha estado inestable. Tuve un dolor constante durante casi 9 meses en mi cadera derecha, espalda lumbar y mis rodillas, por lo que asistí a un especialista para hacerme exámenes. Gracias a Krsna no es nada grave y todo se puede solucionar de manera práctica.

* Ahora lo bueno...

Mi compromiso con Dhatri no ha decaído, continúo guiando un grupo de JAPA matutino los sábados y domingos donde nos reunimos de manera ON-LINE a cantar el maha-mantra. Todos los que forman parte de esta comunidad son mi familia y me inspiran mucho a seguir esforzándome para ser cada día mejor.

Abhiram TD me ha contactado y me invitó a participar en el grupo técnico de Solaris, por lo que estoy haciendo un pequeño servicio gracias a su misericordia.

Este último tiempo ha sido de mucho cuestionamiento, Maharaja, y se me han presentado muchas oportunidades para seguir desarrollándome profesionalmente. En vista a lo anterior, hace un par de semanas decidí matricularme para cursar un Magister en Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo Sustentable, lo que potenciará mis conocimientos en mi área profesional de interés, y me permitirá -si Krsna así lo desea- poder ocupar ese conocimiento para servir al mundo y a la humanidad.

Usted está muy presente en mí, Maharaja. A veces aparece en mis aventuras oníricas, a veces en mis pensamientos, a veces cuando canto japa, y en otras muchas ocasiones 🙏

.

Como le he dicho siempre, usted es una inspiración constante para mí, y le agradezco mucho permitirme mantener contacto por este medio.

Muchas gracias por leerme y responder de la forma perfecta en que siempre lo ha hecho. Le agradezco infinitamente todo su tiempo y dedicación 💛

Su eterna sirvienta

Nicole Silva.

Hare Krsna, dear Maharaja. I hope you are well! 🤗

It has been three months since I have taken the time to write to you. I am very sorry for my ingratitude. I hope to improve every day, and that my next reports are not so distant from each other.

A lot has happened in my life in recent times, and I am anxious to tell you some details that seem relevant to me.

* The bad...

From work, I have been working in the same company for a year now. We are dedicated to installing solar thermal panels for hot water in social housing.

I really like my job, especially because I am a tool of service to the community and the world.

It is very demanding and I have been very stressed - my boss is somewhat "special" - but outside of all that, I am grateful to Krsna for allowing me to serve Him in this way.

My sadhana has been tremendously affected by the rhythm of my life. I have had a hard time getting up early and singing my rounds before going to work. It is difficult for me to enter the FMP during the week, because here in Chile it is 7.30am and at that time I get ready to leave home. However, on weekends I connect to share with you and the devotees, and thus recharge myself with spiritual energy to start the next week strong.

The quality of my rounds has declined a lot, and the quantity - sometimes - has not remained constant. If I have rounds left from the day before, I try to sing them the next day, but many times I have accumulated too many rounds, and I have not finished singing them 😓

I apologize for this lack ... I am trying to improve my commitment to you, Prabhupada and Krsna.

My health has been unstable. I had constant pain for almost 9 months in my right hip, lower back and my knees, so I went to a specialist for tests. Thanks to Krsna it is nothing serious and everything can be solved in a practical way.

* Now the good ...

My commitment to Dhatri has not waned, I continue to lead a morning JAPA group on Saturdays and Sundays where we meet ON-LINE to sing the maha-mantra. All those who are part of this community are my family and they inspire me a lot to continue striving to be better every day.

Abhiram TD has contacted me and invited me to participate in the Solaris technical group, so I am doing a little service thanks to his mercy.

This last time has been one of much questioning, Maharaja, and I have been presented with many opportunities to continue developing professionally. In view of the above, a couple of weeks ago I decided to enroll for a Master's in Environment and Sustainable Development, which will enhance my knowledge in my professional area of ​​interest, and will allow me -if Krsna so wishes- to be able to occupy that knowledge to serve the world and humanity.

You are very present in me, Maharaja. Sometimes it appears in my dream adventures, sometimes in my thoughts, sometimes when I chant japa, and on many other occasions 🙏

As I have always told you, you are a constant inspiration to me, and I thank you very much for allowing me to maintain contact through this medium.

Thank you very much for reading me and responding in the perfect way that you always have. I thank you infinitely for all your time and dedication 💛

Your eternal servant

HpS - ASA --- It is a struggle for us to follow Srila Prabhupada's, Lord Caitanya's, Krsna's instruction to put 16-nice rounds first. It is the Yuga dharma. Everything else will improve in the best possible way if we do that.

I have to remind myself.

Keep track of your debt in rounds.

Fix a vow that you can do, for some time, like, one week, one fortnight, then do it.

Maya says see will kill you if your chant.

O.K. better to die chanting.

One true story, one soldier in Vietnam was initiated and promised to chant 16 rounds daily. He got hit by a bomb and in the hospital they put him on external care but it was guaranteed he was going to die in a few hours.

By the end of the day, his life, he had chanted his rounds.

Your Boss is there for you to help.

Krsna has arranged the position for you, if your are 16/4.

Thank you!!

HpS - ASA.

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
