Letters to the editor

hare krsna.

agtSP.

we have a lot of letters pending!

we released the fifth movie on Sunday.

now waiting for responses from the critics.

then janmastami on monday and travel to richmond on tuesday.

packing. packing. packing.

potatoes, personal relationships, auto insurance.

like five months in m'boro. longest any place since we can remember.

so a lot to pack and sort.

lot of good results but took a lot of energy.

body really seems finished.

medically certified:

60% deaf, blind, mute, senile.

😃

really gives impetus to focus on our Buddhi, intellectual faculties.

Intelligence is the next door neighbor to the soul.

Hare Krsna.

Much less stress now.

Getting more control over properly honoring Prasada.

See you all in cyber space.

one more round to chant.

thank you.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am chanting 16 rounds and following the 4 regulative principles. FMP early in the morning for the last 2 weeks with Dhaasharathi.

We (me, vishaka, Dhaasharathi and Vishaka's parents) are planning to visit Richmond for the labor day weekend to show Dhaasharathi to You Guru Maharaj. Planning to be there on Saturday and Sunday. I saw that Radhika Raman prabhu and Anantarupa prabhu will also be there.

I have booked a hotel 5 mins from Subala Sakha prabhu's house Guru Maharaj. Would it be possible to spend some time with You on Saturday?

Your humble servant

Sri Rama Krishna Das

HpS/ASA - these, agtSP, children are not ordinary children. KRSNA does not send ordinary people to be the children of devotees!

think we certainly have time to meet.

yet, who can say that this is not their last breath!

happy travels!

Sunday Morning Srimad Bhagavatam Workshop will start reading Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya-lila, Chapter Nine: Lord Caitanya's Travels to the Holy Places. We will start reading 9.133 verses onwards. We should be able to complete reading another 30 verses.

Thank you to H. G. Mitravinda Mataji for being there to help with translation.

It is the mercy of Maharaja, to engage everyone in reading books of Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna, Srila Gurudev

AGTSP

dandavat pranaam at your lotus feet.

HpS - I can't see them yet. Still covered by so much illusion. Have I cows, cats, kuku or banana tree feet?

I am writing to request you to kindly let me know the janamashtami day lecture timings so that i can inform in group with Manipuri translation.

HpS - I think the program is from 9pm to 12:01am, and we will stream it on our cell phone. Follow us on Twitter for moment to moment updates. User name huber_robinson.

As you asked in last letter. Srila Mukunda datta prabhu is doing good. He is still the head pujari but as I understand slowly he is retiring from that post. He is preaching more and more and is trying to develop a small village like ashram with holistic simple living and high thinking , with families of like minded devotees staying together for seva of Radhe Shyam.

I will write about myself In personal sadhana link.

Thank you Srila Gurudev

Rturaj Krsna Das

Super news, thank you.

What is your regular daily, weekly work like?

Relate to Sankirtan.

asa[e] vaidhi bhakti

All glories to Prabhu pada, 

I am a Brahmachari from India and met you in Amsterdam.

I wanted to ask you ,how I can reduce my sleep to 4 hours daily.

For a long time I try it by reduced eating and regulation but I have to take 5 hours rest to the body.

Your servant

Bhagavan das

HpS/ASA - AgtSP.

We remember H. H. Tamal-krsna Goswami commenting to Srila Prabhupuada that one devotee in Los Angeles was sleeping more than six hours a day.

Srila Prabhupada answered firmly, that what was the difficulty with that if, when he was awake, he did three times as much work as TkD did.

Hmmm. Big topic, but seems that some jobs require that we let the body sleep more to recover.

O.K.

To our mind, we remember that the American philosopher, Benjamin Franklin commented that one should not eat to dullness.

Jayananda Das told us that he had tried so many diets but the one that actually seemed to work was: Don't eat too much and work hard.

Chant HK/HR while you eat, while you fill your plate, while you digest.

Pray to Krsna to engage your senses in His service etc.

I useful?

We might be able to say more but please post in our Blog. Then the dialog can be useful to many other devotees.

Thank you!!

Hare Krishna Gurudev.

PAMHO. AGTSP. All glories to you. I am excited to see you in Richmond soon!

HpS - Hope there is chance for nice dancing!

I think astrologically I'm going through a transformative spiritual transit.

Ended another relationship (which is a huge bummer because he was going to come with me to rva and meet you).

Aw well, I keep holding on to your words saying Radha is arranging everything and trying to have hope.

Otherwise, I’m keeping engaged in doing/teaching yoga and mantra meditation.

The local studio is hosting a BG course under Hari-Kirtana das so it’s a nice push to sankirtan.

We did a kirtan night 2 weeks ago.

I’m always engaged under Sankirtan Yagya and his food truck. We made over $60k in donations last year and are working towards a few big grants.

My tulsi jewelry business has been going well and I’ll most likely stop after Janmastami. I would really like to make a necklace and earrings for your Nrsimha deity gurudev. Does He have pierced ears?

HpS - No. I really think He's not my Nrsmha, but rather I am His boy.

I was thinking of taking a quick trip to Taos, NM, to visit the Neem Karoli baba temple. I will probably take my father along – he is a Hanuman Bhakta.

HpS - We have some interaction with them. Interesting.

Some of them have reputation for like Sahajia: I am your Radha, You are my Krsna, no?

I don't know many details and recent developments.

Listening to lots and lots of kirtan. Hopefully I can come spend time in India with you – how do I go about staying at your ashram?

HpS - It's small but there are places nearby. I don't know who you would contact. A lot of devotees will be visiting. Should be HAPPY.

Maybe Subal knows some of our friends there.

Is it open to stay it?

I’ll be in Vraj in Dec helping with a ISKCON youth retreat. Anyhow- I’m just plodding along this life. Please keep me engaged in your service and under your shelter gurudev.

Thank you for your mercy.

HpS/ASA - We will be there like end of September and beginning of October. You are asking about December. Hmmm? I think by then it may be closed.

We can talk in Richmond.

Thank you!

Very refreshing to hear from you!

You are a soldier!!!!

Your aspiring servant,
