Greetings from Panamá, Central America,

maybe you don't remember me,

but if you do I'm more than happy to know so.

HpS - Yes, we do. You were struggling to get to the Temple and do Japa austerity, and associating with our Graphic Artist disciple, whose name we cannot remember, and who has not written for a l o n g time.

How are you Maharaja? How is your health? Its been over a year I don't give a report, because I gave up on myself once more around August of last year, my father past away last year the same week I had an accident that left me in bed for a long time, I couldn't walk and by the time I could I started working in this terrible place.... so far so good I set myself apart from the process and left KC for about 8 months....its literally a hell out there, no association, no friends, no close family, but Krishna is always there.... he took me back and here we are, chanting our rounds, following our principles and finally being able to do service at the temple as well as being part of the harinam program twice a month and making garlands as a steady service every Sunday.

HpS - ASA - 😀 I am trying to understand that chanting always improves everything.

Also taking small courses to keep the mind busy and feeding on KC.

Hopefully with the lowering of the restrictions I will be able to go to Mangal-arati next week!

HpS - Did you go? See the Lord very, very early in the morning.

After 5 years following the teachings of Srila Prabhupada and taking shelter on him, would you have the mercy to accept me as an aspirant to be your disciple?

HpS - That is a formality, not a meaningless formality, but a formality.

Our association in ISKCON is actually eternal, no? It is like two men in prison who take a vow to help each other reform their character and get out as soon as possible, and after they are out and return to their own land and families, always keep in touch.

Have you read: https://jayarama.us//kd/guru-tattva.txt???

When do you think it's the right time for initiation in the bhakti yoga process?

It's initiation the beginning or one has to be super qualified to be initiated?

HpS - Above link should answer most of those questions, then please write again. Take your acquired knowledge and help whomever Krsna sends!

Where does the soul goes when we pass away?

HpS - What kind of vehicle do we get when this vehicle is finished? 😼

Thanks for your kindness and for the time you take to read letters I leave here

Thank you for your report. We are very busy but can do more if we are sincere.

Kapi Dhvaja goes Friday. We will try to write it with you all in mind.

Marriage means getting to know the family, friends, associates of your partner and how to relate to them.

It is a lesson in love, how to respect others.

Best wishes for your Sankirtan.



Hare Krishna, Maharaj!!!

My Dāndavāt Pranāms unto your Holy Lotus Feet 🦶🦶🙏😇

I've heard many good stories about you, from many of your old fellow devotées from decades ago!!

Lokanath told me how you used to travel and do the Purnima Puppet Theatre with him and his wife, to Chicago and wherever else.

Mother Madanasini told me how you used to Dance just like a monkey, and how you used to always try to make everyone happy :)

HpS - Wow! How do monkeys dance?

Bhakta Avatar says you're very good, and so do multiple other people whom I have spoken to.

I would like to talk with you, Maharaj, if that is okay with you.

Lokanath says you are very good at very high quality, detailed answers to the questions such as the ones I ask to him.

He says he wishes I could have met you, so that you could answer my questions.

I am have very intense questions, Prabhuji, which are not for everyone's ears.

Do you think you could talk to me sometime?

I know you are a very celebrated and highly-esteemed Personality, and that you must not have very much time to speak to everyone 1 on 1, but, maybe Lokanath can give you my phone number for texts, or maybe we can email sometime, preferably very soon, because I have very limited external sources of guidance beyond Srila Prabhupada's original recordings and writings, and I am confused about my duty.

Wishing you all the best,

Dāndavāt Pranāms

and

Hare Krsna

your lowly, insignificant servant, Ātmā Dās

HpS - ASA - - Hello, Atma Das, all glories to Srila Prabhupada! So nice to hear from you. You have me a little fearful when you start discussing 'very intense questions, not for everyone's ears', but I would like very much to talk with you.

Did Lokanatha Das get back to Bay Area?

If you send your phone number here then I can get it but won't publish it.

Thank you.

7/14/2021 - Caitanya-carana Das: Maharaj, Pranam. Here is a comment on our podcast that you might want to see.

Still Born

Thank you for an interesting discussion. I'm wondering whether you feel that there is the potential in Jung's conception of human psychology for the kind of eruption of higher consciousness that we find depicted in our own tradition in the Rasa Dance and the Love of the Gopis, for example? Doesn't the kind of break-through in the human psyche that we call 'self-realization' or Krishna Prema go past Jung's archetypal understanding? It's been a long time since I read Jung, but now I'm wondering whether anything in the psychological process that he envisioned is indeed helpful to us in advancing toward our goals?

Many thanks.

Hare Krishna.

Just to clarify, Bhakti Vinod Thakur said that all religions (and this includes systems of metapsychology such as Jungian psychology?) are essentially Vaishnava. Some are steps up to it, while others are distortions of it. Which one is Jung? Its interesting that BVT had only these two categories i.e. he didn't allow for anything to be unrelated altogether!

HpS - ASA -- Esteemed Mr. Still Born. Let us apologize for being slow to reply to your question. It is very nice.

We have done some depth reading of Jung and associated with members of the current community, but that has led us to the conclusion that we need, and are trying, to get a guide to Jung's experiences and conclusions in more depth.

I think we expressed our opinion in the Pod cast, I don't remember for sure, but as far as we could analyze Prof. Jung's comprehension of the Absolute Truth it comes up to direct experience of Hiranya gabha conception of the Lord, above Virata rup and below Param-atma.

Of course, looking at the garden through a surrounding fence is much better than hearing descriptions from a block away.

For our humble comprehension we see tremendous courage, honesty and sincerity in Jung's character. Maybe.... there is some pride that would turn his efforts into an attempt to distort the truth rather than move quickly toward the next step.

These are things would want to know as they are manifest in the character of his actual followers.

I don't see that he has any problem with conjugal relations in transcendence. The archetypes can exist as statues, words, mental images, comprehensions (attitudes), Laksmis, Dvaraka Queens et al, no?

Please contact us though our web page: www.JayaRama.US and join this investigation for the actual need of modern society!

His Holiness Hanumat Presaka Swami will speak Friday, July 23rd at 7 pm CST on "Sanatana Shiksa," the confidential, amazing, yet very practical instructions given 500 years ago by Lord Caitanya to Srila Sanatana Goswami, based on Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 2.20-24 on Sanatana's auspicious Disappearance Day.
