Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva,

Please accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you. I am looking at the Anvaya that my father did, and I made a few changes to the first verse. If it is possible for you to kindly give us some feedback, that would be very helpful for us to finish revising the rest of the verses.

NOI 1

vāco vegaṁ manasaḥ krodha-vegaṁ

jihvā-vegam udaropastha-vegam

etān vegān yo viṣaheta dhīraḥ

sarvām apīmāṁ pṛthivīṁ sa śiṣyāt

Synonyms

vācaḥ — of speech; vegam — urge; manasaḥ — of the mind; krodha — of anger; vegam — urge; jihvā — of the tongue; vegam — urge; udara-upastha — of the belly and genitals; vegam — urge; etān — these; vegān — urges; yaḥ — whoever; viṣaheta — can tolerate; dhīraḥ — sober; sarvām — all; api — certainly; imām — this; pṛthivīm — world; saḥ — that personality; śiṣyāt — can make disciples.

Translation

A sober person who can tolerate the urge to speak, the mind’s demands, the actions of anger and the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals is qualified to make disciples all over the world.

English Word-Order

saḥ — A

dhīraḥ - sober person

yaḥ - who

viṣaheta - can control

etān — the

vegān — urges 

jihvā - vegam -  of the tongue,

manasaḥ - mind,

udara-upastha-vegam -  belly, genitals, 

vācaḥ vegam - speech,

krodha- vegam – [and] anger,

śiṣyāt - can [ api — certainly] make disciples

sarvām — all around

imām — this

pṛthivīm — world

Note: In some places we used English articles in place of Sanskrit pronouns for better readability (I learned that this is an acceptable practice in translation in my Sanskrit classes). We also omitted the translation of “vegam” after each urge, and slightly changed the order of the urges so that the sentence remains simple. Please let us know if a similar emphasis on English readability is acceptable for the rest of the verses Gurudeva. Thank you very much for tolerating us.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Your insignificant servants,

Srinivasacarya Dasa and Sugopi Radha Devi Dasi

HpS - ASA -- It looks super. Do you know what is the biggest room in the world?

:

:

The room for self improvement. 🙂

Or as one French poet said, "No one ever finished a poem. They just stopped working on it". So this format seem fine for this edition of TPP-NOI, a very satisfying offering to Srila Prabhupada and the previous Acharyas! We will change the world!

Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Dear Maharaja: I am writing to remind you and confirm your class on Friday October 23, 7:30 p.m. Chile time, with the topic, Srila Prabhupada: "His vision of modern society", which will be broadcast by Iskcon Chile. Your servant Madan Mohan das.

HpS - AGTSP. It is good that you wrote to remind us, because we completely forgot! So, that is 5.30PM our (Nashville, Tennessee) time. Again, we should not do VOI (Voice Over Internet). We can share our screen, but the audio should be through a local, USA, telephone connection!

How are you? Are all psychologists crazy?

Are you crazy for Krsna?

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Acepte mis más humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Le escribo estas líneas para contarle cómo esta mi vida espiritual y personal, mi querido Gurudeva.

Gracias a su inmensa misericordia y la protección de Krsna sigo conectado con mis 16 rondas y estamos siguiendo los 4 principios regulativos.

Mi esposa Lavanya y yo estamos siguiendo desde marzo de este año el curso Bhakti Sastri con Gandharva Prabhu. Ya estamos en más de la mitad del curso, en el capítulo 13 del Bhagavad Gita. Estamos muy felices ya que este curso tan importante nos ha servido para conectarnos más con Srila Prabhupada y Krsna.

También le cuento que en nuestra empresa Tulasi, además de los alfajores estamos haciendo otras preparaciones como Pye de manzana, Cheescake de fresas, Torta de manjar, y, nuestra Lasagna de zukini, espárragos y alcachofas.

Muchas gracias por su tiempo querido Gurudeva.

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I am writing these lines to tell you about my spiritual and personal life, my dear Gurudeva.

Thanks to His immense mercy and Krsna's protection I am still connected with my 16 rounds and we are following the 4 regulative principles.

ASA - 😐 No need to say anything more. Your complete success in every endeavor is guaranteed.

My wife Lavanya and I have been following the Bhakti Sastri course with Gandharva Prabhu since March of this year. We are already more than halfway through the course, in chapter 13 of the Bhagavad Gita. We are very happy as this very important course has helped us to connect more with Srila Prabhupada and Krsna.

Good books.

I also tell him that in our company Tulasi, in addition to the alfajores, we are making other preparations such as Apple Pye, Strawberry Cheescake, Manjar Cake, and our Lasagna with zukini, asparagus and artichokes.

Shocking! Do you distribute internationally!

Thank you very much for your time dear Gurudeva.

ASA - Que pasa con su hijo? Vecinos? Pais? Arte?

Hare Krishna Gurudeva! Pamho! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Divya Drsti Mataji asked me to send you this letter :

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja

Please, receive my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Gurudeva, I send you this letter to inform you that the first puppets presentation will be in one month, the 12 november, I'll send you a vídeo before, so you can see It and make a feedback.

HpS - ASA -- !

We will make as well a presentation for 20 December as a gift for Christmas for Gopalito, cowboys and all children.

ASA -- ! ! !

The last month I've took a course on puppets with an Argentinian teacher and classmates from many countries online.

ASA - Su, su, super! First there was Shreck and now there is Divya-drsti Devi Dasi.

I'm planning to get knowledge constantly on this subject of puppets, getting online courses for instance.

HpS - Please share the educational resources here!

Now I'm doing book distribution 3 times per week, the book "El cazador y el Sabio" in Quechua and Spanish is sold very well because Cusco city is the land of Quechua.

I'm living 50% of the time on the sacred Valley of Cusco and 50% in Cusco city.

I'm opening soon a store with the help of my family in the Sacred Valley to sell Srila Prabhupada books and some prasadam in a small house that my father is facilitating to me.

I'm still fighting with health problems and depressions, althought I think while I continue with the preaching throught art It will be heal because it's my dharma.

HpS - Depression is usually fatigue, no? We want to do so many things, but we have fatigue and then that creates mental self criticism... Maybe you will die of fatigue this year.

Jaya!

What will your next body be? Yet, every liberated soul has more power than all the Indras in all the material worlds combined! Solution. Become liberated. Engage in chanting constantly. If you can breath you can chant, no?

Hare Krsna... Hare Krsna!!!

Envoyez-nous des nouvelles de la nouvelle Super Woman!

Please, Gurudeva if you have any suggestios for me...I listen.

Please, I have a question: How can I develop preaching throught art in a way that It heals my health problems and the constant depressions that I have?

How can I change these samskaras in me and have a new starting of life?

My greatest dream is to preach and can be an inspiration for children, young people and women with the time, when I'll learn well of the puppets I want to teach and leave my offering like that.

Thank you very much.

Your servant :

Divya Dristi D D

HpS - ASA -- You seem to be in an auspicious path. Just try to travel faster, no changing to other path. Your store can sponsor events eg. cooking lessons. Sacred music retreats. Puppet workshops. Psycho dramas.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, PAMHO

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

For two or three weeks we have been talking between several spiritual brothers (Asta-saki from Mexico, Jayanta from Spain, Candra-mukhi from Peru, Arjuna and Jagad-guru from Chile, Ambarisa and Nikunja in Argentina, among others) we all agree that given the particularities of the moment, it is good and necessary that you have a personal assistant so that you can write more and develop your Sankirtan for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada.

To write this letter it was necessary to know who the assistant could be and if he wanted and had availability for the service, by the mercy of Sri Nityananda, everything was manifested favorably, so we humbly propose that Panca Tattva Das as his assistant for three months. It's okay?

Panca-tattva is in Mar de Plata (currently in Argentina there are already flights to the USA) he would have to start doing the paperwork for his religious visa, for that we would need an invitation from the Houston temple, the rest of the requirements are simple. The other option is to travel as a tourist for three months. It's okay?

Although we are neophytes, we are trying to be useful disciples, please excuse any clumsiness.

HARE KRISHNA respected Gurudeva, his useless servant, Abhiram Thakur das.

HpS - Jaya Srila Prabhupada, what assistance would he give? What does he think about this suggestion?

-------------------------------------------------------

Desde hace dos o tres semanas hemos estado conversando entre varios hermanos espirituales (Asta-saki de México, Jayanta de España, Candra-mukhi de Perú, Arjuna y Jagad-guru de Chile, Ambarisa y Nikunja en Argentina, entre otros) todos coincidimos que, dadas las particularidades del momento, es bueno y necesario que usted tenga un asistente personal y así pueda escribir más y desarrollar su Sankirtan para el placer de Srila Prabhupada.

Para escribir esta carta era necesario saber quién podría ser el asistente y si quería y tenía disponibilidad para el servicio, por la misericordia de Sri Nityananda, todo se manifestó favorablemente, por eso humildemente le proponemos que Panca Tattva Das como su asistente por tres meses. Está bien?

Panca-tattva esta en Mar de Plata (actualmente en Argentina ya hay vuelos hacia USA) él tendría que empezar a hacer los tramites para su visa religiosa, para eso necesitaríamos una invitación del templo de Houston, el resto de requisitos son sencillos. La otra opción es que viaje como turista por tres meses. Está bien?

Aunque somos neófitos, estamos tratando de ser discípulos útiles, por favor disculpa cualquier torpeza.

HARE KRISHNA respetado Gurudeva, su inútil sirviente, Abhiram Thakur das.

Hare Krisna Gurudev: Pamho.

Gloria a Prabhupada y los vaisnavas reunidos.

Quiero informarle que el disco de Flamenco Hare Krishna que grabamos hace mas de veinte años lo hemos masterizado y puesto en las plataformas musicales de internet. He pensado que se puede aprovechar algo del trabajo que hicimos hace tiempo.

Hoy he descubierto que algunas personas ya han utilizado algunas canciones para exponer fotografias o las han utilizadop de otra forma. Asi que pongo los mantras para el placer de los vaisnavas y la gente en general que gusten de esas ragas.

En youtube se pueden oir gratis y en otras plataformas hay que estar suscrito o pagar algo. La música está disponible para la predica y, como están haciendo algunas personas, puede ser utilizada cuando sea conveniente para hacer video, power point, diapositivas o lo que sea que pueda contribuir a aumentar la gloria de Srila Prabhupada.

Este es el enlace para poder oirlo.
