Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaja and ASA team,

PAMHO AGTSP.

I hope all is welḷ I really don't think you have covid and I consider it will better to wait for the results of Dr NGD.

HpS - Thank you! We waited and he was positive test, but reaction is not strong for him so far. When we went for testing they gave us papers to fill-out and a pen, but we think they were all touched by other clients. 😎

Honestly, doctors say, hospital is one of the most dangerous place to catch diseases, be careful.

I wanted to ask you please if it is possible to allow me to prepare questions from Chapter 5 of Canto 2, While correcting the questions in chapter 2 and if necessary, I do it again.

HpS - Certainly. You don't have to wait for us. Please post them here!!! You can see we aer not GREAT DEVOTEE like Hanuman. We hope to be a little insect helping other to clean his fur. So, post things here and we try to answer all posts within 4-days.

This service is essential for me because it allows me to deepen my relationship with Srila Prabhupada. Please consider my request🙏

HpS - Read his books = Touch his feet. What is the news of our Leader, Bh. Bhusana Swami?

I read your letter, Fighting Corruption in ISKCON", It helped me a lot to understand my relationship with ISKCON and identify me with Level 3 and I have something of 2.

HpS - Level 3 = Confidential Relationship with our General! Srila Prabhupada. Level 2 = Friends in ISKCON (Friends = ISKCON!) Karuna krsna Das, Caturatma, Abhinandana are my friends. Other relations, but they are my friends!

Regarding this I have a query, sometimes I have been invited to give some Bg classes in the San Borja temple and this makes some devotees uncomfortable because they think that I am in favor of some authority and it is simply that I do not identify with some authority but rather with my service, explain this but for some it is something difficult to understand.

My loyalty is to Srila Prabhupada and the ISKCON who follows Srila Prabhupada. What do you advise me? Sometimes I think my thoughts are somewhat anarchist.

HpS - This is spiritual life. Raghunatha Das Goswami would not even accept a paper cup (leaf cup) made in Sakhi-sthali, because it was Candravali's village!!! [She is trying to steal Krsna from our Radha!!]. Imagine a girl, seeing another girl try to steal her husband! Grrrrrr!

... but, Radha and Candravali

LOVE

each other!! They are cousins. They compete out of love. They hope their competition inspires the other to increase their service, not reduce it.

So, hard decisions. With whom to associate? How others perceive it? Ask Srila Prabhupada! As far as I know now, San Borjas is Srila Prabhupada's temple!!

Thank you very much for your effort and for being a part of Sankirtana of Srila Prabhupada.

whith appreciation

Note: in the next letter i will send photos of Sarasvati and Rajani, they continue with their Sadhana.

HpS - Little angels or little devils? Or both ??

HK Pamho, Guru Maharaja quisiera que pronto viniera para ayudar en alguno de sus eventos, será pronto?

Estoy sembrando semillas espero que pronto den fruto, un jardín sin flores o frutos es triste, me parece pecaminoso no embellecer la tierra, deseamos que todo florezca, amo la belleza de la creación. En algún momento deseamos servir en el pujari y ahora a diario lo hacemos, una vez por día, es un buen ritmo nos da tiempo para otras actividades. Nos consuela, recordamos Vrndavana, con los pujaris nos asociamos, la mente está ocupada y satisfecha.

Estoy llevando un curso breve de educación TTC 3 on line, nos da entusiasmo. El encierro a veces nos sume en ignorancia y siento que me estoy acostumbrando a la soledad, y me estoy volviendo ermitaña, más de lo que soy, como algo impersonal, sabemos que Krsna nos lleva como el viento, ahora estamos aquí, mañana no sabemos.

En una clase donde Ud. mencionaba que estar en Vrndavana le dio tiempo de pensar y recordar porque se volvió devoto y lo que deseaba hacer. Me ocurre algo así, no me basta con tener techo y pan, o servicio. Espero que la soledad clarifique y nos permita entender como servir.

Las fiestas nos tuvieron bajo presión, a veces nos cuesta cantar, un año raro, de introspección y podemos descansar, tener paz. Mientras organizamos el pujari, las profesoras de colegio siempre piensan en orden, planificación, limpieza. Esperamos ayudar lo mejor que podamos el tiempo que Krsna nos lo permita.

Por favor sus bendiciones para el servicio actual y el futuro.

HK Pamho, Guru Maharaja would like you to come soon to help in some of your events, will it be soon?

HpS - ASA -- TlgaSP!! Pienso por hyper media y no con cuerpo burdo! Possible proxima anyo vamos a Peru para un anyo?

I am sowing seeds, I hope they will soon bear fruit, a garden without flowers or fruits is sad, it seems sinful to not beautify the earth, we want everything to flourish, I love the beauty of creation.

HpS - Nuestra deseo tambien! Abustio de rosas! Arbol de peras!!

At some point we want to serve in the pujari and now we do it daily, once a day, it is a good rhythm that gives us time for other activities. It comforts us, we remember Vrndavana, we associate with pujaris, the mind is occupied and satisfied.

HpS - Vd es una de las mas afortunadas personas en el universo. Mas que Donald Trump... !

I am taking a short TTC 3 education course online, it gives us enthusiasm. The confinement sometimes plunges us into ignorance and I feel that I am getting used to loneliness, and I am becoming a hermit, more than I am, as something impersonal, we know that Krsna is carrying us like the wind, now we are here, tomorrow we do not know.

HpS - Si, experiencias muy interesante. Pienso solucion es cambio de modo de vivir. Hector Bejar, su companero de baile, tambien piensa la misma. Pero que lastima! Vamos a dejar esta tierra, esta pais, pronto, entonces predica donde estamos.

In a class where you mentioned that being in Vrndavana gave you time to think and remember why you became a devotee and what you wanted to do. Something like this happens to me, it is not enough for me to have a roof and bread, or a toilet. I hope that loneliness clarifies and allows us to understand how to serve.

HpS - 👍

The festivals had us under pressure, sometimes it is difficult for us to sing, a rare year, of introspection and we can rest, have peace. While we organize the pujari, the school teachers always think in order, planning, cleanliness. We hope to help as best we can for as long as Krsna allows us.

HpS - Alumnos virtuales! Esta bien!!

Please your blessings for current and future service.

HpS - Gracias Yugala kishora Dasi! Nos vemos pronto en una jardin muy hemosa donde hay Radha y Krsna. No Deidades.... Radha y Krsna!!! "Hola, Yugi! Como esta? Hace mucho tiempo. Todo pasada bien?"

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

Thank you for replying to my previous letter, I am always looking forward to your instructions. 

ASA - Hey!!! AGTSP!! paoho. "KDPC" is NOT the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code! That is its name. Just like NASA is the name of the organization. The KDPC is in the Kapi Dhvaja each issue in the Letters to the Editor section. Your valuable letter was almost lost!!!! 😮

I have been waking up at 4.30am on most days of the week. I am doing mangala aarti also with flowers and incense. Waking up early has helped me chant most of my rounds with full concentration, thank you so much for your instruction maharaj. Attending your Srimad Bhagavatam classes has helped me become more detail oriented in my personal study of scriptures. 

HpS - ASA --- Without the Sanga we would be 97% lost!!

Under the guidance of Srinivas Prabhu and Sundari Radhika Mataji, I was able to complete the Disciple Course and receive the certificate.

ASA - Super!! Certified Bhaktin!!!! Now you can criticize President Trump with authority. 😎

I am also helping Kamagayatri Mataji in the Sunday school by helping kids recite important Bhagavatam verses from canto 2.

I would be eternally grateful if you accept me as your disciple.

Your insignificant servant,

Chithkala

HpS - ASA -- We are really happy to get your association. Who are your associates, family, employers, co-workers? What is your community eg. Indian, Delhi, Sharmas??

Thank you!

AGTSP!!! One of the Hairy Buddys in our Monkey search team sends another movie review!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezCqwBXZ6Tc Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances at Your lotus feets.

HpS - Roman Lettuce Feet.

All glories to You and Srila Prabhupada.

ASA - !

Do You want a movie with bad guys using black magic, a swamiji who is capable to stop bhutas and the fantastic story of a installation of Narasimha Murti including a final fight betwwen a super raksasa agains the Supreme Lord?

Ok, if the answer is yes this is Your movie. Pure entertaining. Solid gold. Your servant.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

For the Nectar of Instruction Sanskrit project, I was wondering if you could kindly answer a few questions I have.

So I have to re-order the words of each verse in the English word order for easier readability, and include the word-for-word translation for each Sanskrit word?

Should I use Srila Prabhupada's word-for-word translations or can I adjust them a little bit without changing the meaning, so that it works out with the new word order?

I am very sorry to bother you again on this Guru Maharaja.

Thank you very much 🙏 your insignificant servant, Srinivasacarya Dasa

AGTSP! This is not a bother. This is nectar.

What we have seen is that you just rearrange the Transliterations into the English word order so the translation is clear. If you want to adjust the Translations of each word a little, fine. I don't thing they are directly Srila Prabhupada's choice anyway. This is an Appendix. We are hoping to build something on the basis of his work, and hoping that he finds it delightful. Gives us suggestions!!

PAMHO. AGTSP. I just spoke to Matsya Mataji, and it seems Nitai Gaurasundar Prabhu has a not too severe case of the virus. How is your health, Gurudeva? Any symptoms?

0o0o0o0

AGTSP! Ass Katha! ! St. Francis of Asis said that this body is an ass that we ride through this world. Don't spend all of your time taking care of an ass, but Rupa Goswami adds, nirbandhe, Krsna sambandhe, yukta vairagya ucate, seeing the relation of your carrier to Krsna and protecting and using it that way is real renunciation.

Brother Ass always has fever symptoms. He is at least 70% Pitta. Today the pollen level is Extremely High and so he is sneezing, sore throat, etc. From 8.30-10.30AM we were involved in going to, waiting for, documenting the payment for, the KV test. Sat in the car. One of the techs, young lady, was interested in Jagannatha on the bag around our neck. We tried to explain things and then gave her a NoI.

No special symptoms.

Very prolonged tachycardia this morning. No feeling of distress but heart going with light vibrations rather than lub-dub.

"We're all going to die! It's how you live that counts," Conan the Barbarian.

"Why, said Socrates,—is not Evenus a philosopher?

I think that he is, said Simmias.

Then he, or any man who has the spirit of philosophy, will be willing to die, but he will not take his own life, for that is held to be unlawful.",

Phaedo, [https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1658/1658-h/1658-h.htm#link2H_4_0002}

"While the King was thus repenting, he received news of his imminent death, which would be due to the bite of a snake-bird, occasioned by the curse spoken by the sage’s son. The King accepted this as good news, for it would be the cause of his indifference toward worldly things." https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/19/4/

"SB 4,23.21. - When Queen Arci saw that her husband, who had been so merciful to her and the earth, no longer showed symptoms of life, she lamented for a little while and then built a fiery pyre on top of a hill and placed the body of her husband on it."

"ŚB 4.23.29 - The great sage Maitreya continued speaking: My dear Vidura, when the wives of the denizens of heaven were thus talking amongst themselves, Queen Arci reached the planet which her husband, Mahārāja Pṛthu, the topmost self-realized soul, had attained."

"Bg. 2.14 - O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed."

So, in one aspect we are just surprised, that people, technicians, our gardener Don the excellent Christian, devotees, take this Karuna Virus seriously. It is just some material flip and we should deal with it out of hand: Oh, I am dead! Oh, I am rich!.... and focus on our eternal participation in the Sankirtan party. We have so much to do to improve that!!!!

Then another aspect, when looking it straight in the face. We are going to die in seven days, then we saw that we could really become ECSTATIC.! Like Socrates. Such a great opportunity. Where will we go!???

Thank you.
