Letters to the editor

Pamho, TlgASP.

Querido Guru Maharaja.

Siento no haber escrito antes.

He estado bastante confundido.

Intentando salir de la vida de los templos.

Estudiando, invirtiendo en educación (marketing, ventas, etc.).

Krishna concede todos los deseos.

Me ha dado un poco de dinero, creo que suficiente para comenzar mi nueva vida en Paraguay. Krishna mediante, estaré en Paraguay dentro de dos semanas.

Ya he tenido suficientes templos por algunas vidas.

Mis pulmones no soportan ya mas humo.

En Paraguay espero construirme o comprar una casa.

Con lo que gano en España sería suficiente.

Aunque también espero empezar algún negocio.

También espero vivir la conciencia de Krishna con mi casita.

16/4 siguen estando bien.

Espero mejorar.

El simple hecho de salir me está dando más fuerza.

Un gran tonto ignorante que espera que sus señorías acepten una milésima parte de una millonésima parte de servicio devocional. Por lo tanto, tendrá que continuar en alguna vida.

PD: Los devotos me preguntan si voy a extrañar a Sri Sri Gaura Nitay...

Me pasó lo mismo con Madrid. Ellos vinieron conmigo. Siempre estarán en mi corazón.

Las únicas Deidades que habrá en mi casa serán hechas de sonido sagrado.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare

Y todo más sencillo. Algo de lectura. Levántate temprano y canta tus rondas.

Cocinar para ofrecérselo a las cuentas...

Y bueno, ya he encontrado mi lugar en el Sankirtan, en esta era está en internet.

Perdona mis ofensas.

A new life, perhaps a new birth, and a movie-like journey?

Dear Guru Maharaja,

I am sorry I have not written before.

I have been quite confused.

Trying to leave temple life.

Studying, investing in education (marketing, sales, etc.).

Krishna grants all desires.

He has given me a little money, I think it's enough to begin my new life in Paraguay. Krishna willing, I will be in Paraguay within two weeks.

I have already had enough of temples for a few lifetimes.

My lungs can't take any more smoke.

In Paraguay, I hope to build or buy a house.

With what I earn in Spain, it should be enough.

Although I also hope to start some business.

I also hope to live Krishna consciousness with my little house.

16/4 are still alright.

I hope to improve.

The simple fact of leaving is giving me more strength.

A great ignorant fool who hopes that Their Lordships will accept a thousandth part of a millionth part of devotional service. Therefore, he will have to continue in some life.

PS: The devotees ask me if I will miss Sri Sri Gaura Nitai…

The same thing happened to me with Madrid. They came with me. They will always be in my heart.

The only Deities there will be in my house will be made of sacred sound.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama

And everything more simple. Some reading. Get up early and chant your rounds.

Cook to offer it to the beads...

And well, I have already found my place in the Sankirtan, in this age it is on the internet.

Please forgive my offenses.

HpS - Yes... agtSP... finally a little news from you! we have 90% forgot who you are!!!!! now some recollection.

some music group in espirtu santu?

family has gas station?

time as pujari in malaga?

plan seems viable.

yet after proper chanting the form of the lord as an institutional deity or a form in the heart should manifest.

otherwise not prgressing.

noi 6 and 7 for example.

good. good. good wishes.

you are not an ordinary person.

have to become lighthouse to others.

🐵 diary of a traveled creature.

today we will talk about narakasura. we have heard about damodara lila, damodara astaka, gopala champu.

but nothing about dvarakdisha.

nobody in the the three worlds relishes the pastimes of braja like the dvarakavasis.

they are closer to them than the ayodhya vasis, vaikuntha vasis, svarga vasis...

omaha vasis.

this way we make sober devotees. steady devotees.

vraja lila candidates.

they can live in braja as rocks and bushes.

🐵 diary of a traveled creature.

when zane grey wrote his novels, he would go to the site of the events and wander around in his mind and get the spirit, ghost, of the place.

he would get the ghost of the place.

then he would catch scenes that caught that spirit.

then he would sell spirits, not stories.

everyone is after the bhava, the under stand ding.

the attitude. the perspective. subtext.

if you have your sails in the right attitude, the wind/wind/wind will fill, FILL, F I L L the canvas.!..!.

pooosh!@#!!

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

 Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 All glories to Guru parampara.

 Gurudev, There was a message on a WhatsApp group where it was stated that you have plan

to travel to India on January 09, 2026. Hope it is true.

HpS - AgtSP. We are working on a VIP Tour with Yadu Swami from Spain.

We are trying to buy the tickets to India tomorrow. Then we can plan the internal dates!!

 So would like to know your stay date in Vrndavan and Shree Radha-Kunda. 

Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Thank you. Thank you.

Agt your Sankirtan!!!!!!!!!!

Hare Krishna !!!!

All Glories to Guru Maharaj.

All glories to Srila Prabupad.

Please accept my humble obeisance unto your Lotus Feet Guru Maharaj 🙏🙏🙏.

I very happy when I listened your Jop Joe [Japa Joe] and Online classes. This is the greatest opportunity and kindness to listen your Jop Meditation for me Guru Maharaj.

From long times I was searched to listen your Jop Meditation directly, And once day Guru Maharaj you recorded short type video in our What's app group. When I received you video and listen your Jop my mind is full excited and feeling happiness.

So Thank you very much Guru Maharaja you listen my heart beat.

Questions 1: Dear Beloved Guru Maharaj, as a disciple, how can I perform service (seva) so that you will be pleased with your disciples?"

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. So, nice to hear from you. Name of group is "Japa Joe". I think this is the link to the history of the name and our Anjana Suta Academy and some of our philosophy of Japa.

https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/5/#bb5954 gives nice explanation of Guru and Disciple. Myself, anyone in ISKCON, are disciples of Srila Prabhupada. We all accept him as our uttama adhikari guru, Founder and Acharya of ISKCON.

He defines Disciple as one who follows the Discipline of another. Chanting sixteen enthusiastic rounds minimum and following four principles, taking initiation from one of his initiated disciples according to the rituals, makes us his disciples. Of course, I, you, everyone, have specific disciplines, details we apply under his authority.

I served with the Bhaktivedanta Institute under his authority. That was a discipline which most people don't follow.

Other devotees don't sleep unless they can distribute one book daily.

So, as our disciple, when you are following Srila Prabhupada's discipline, we are very pleased, nourished, by you efforts.

Thank you.

Especially during Kartika he instructs us to offer lamps to Damodara and chant the D'astaka: http://kksongs.org/songs/n/namamisvaram.html.

If you follow our discipline as academically inclined people, then you want to memorize the astaka and learn the word by word meanings.

Just because we have become ISKCON Diksa guru for some, does not mean that we are the only or even ultimate siksa guru for them under Srila Prabhupada's Siksa Guru position. GBC is ultimate managing authority.

Questions 2: Guru Maharaj, how can I perform service (seva) in this holy month of Kartik Damodar to receive the mercy (kripa) of Krishna?"

HpS - Also, nice question. Answer above, no?

Yours most innocent disciple.

More Questions?

Hope you are well situated in ISKCON mission in Tripura!!
