Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaja🙏🏻

 Here are some tips to avoid the disease:

 - Apply 96 ° alcohol especially in:

 The entire neck (including the throat and nape). Then the chin and cheeks. From the forehead to the back of the left ear. The temple and the middle of the head. Then the same to the right side of the head.

Also apply alcohol to the lung, belly-navel-pubis. And the knee to the soles of the feet. This whole procedure is done 5 times a day.

 -Then take the vinaigrette that is mixed like this: 3 tablespoons of olive oil-1 tablespoon of white vinegar-salt.

 (Salt is important now because it destroys, mobilizes, the virus and takes it out of the place where it hurts.)

 Vinegar is antiseptic.

 Olive oil protects tissues and prevents the virus from freezing the tissues.)

 So, each time the alcohol is applied, take half a teaspoon of the vinaigrette.

 -Take fennel water with ginger, cinnamon, cloves and honey.

 Maharaja, as you are a Pitta person take it little by little by sips (1 cup takes between 4 and 5 sips).

 What's the weather like?

HpS - Little hot.

 If it is very cold then drink it hot and if it is hot then drink it cold.

 Perform the Pranayama that enters the stomach when inhaling and swells when exhaling the air through the nose.

 Every hour is repeated or every two hours:

 -The application of alcohol in the body.

 -Take the vinaigrette.

 -Take the fennel according to the weather.

 Dear Maharaja, this method works.

You also can :

 -chew lemon with salt for hoarse throat.

 -and lemon candy, every 2 hours so that the throat does not dry out.

 If I could get coca leaves. Where are you exactly?

AGTSP! paoho. Thank you. Quiet seriously, where are we, by your association we are fixing ourselves at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada with continuous Nama-vratta. Then... our material vehicle is in Nashville, Tennessee. No, coca here. 😮 So, far NgD has only moderate reaction and is going ahead with Tylenol and rest. Doesn't the alcohol bath dry the skin????

Hare Krsna! This world is 'dukhalayam asasvatam': A place of suffering an unpredictable!

Yet, we can use all this 'dukha' as chance for austerity for Krsna!! Using the sources of distress for Krsna is purifying.

We have so many things that we want to do. Eg. we want to write up the Board of Director's Meeting Minutes, but... everyone is asking that we have Karuna Virus test since NgD tested positive.

He has had fever and cough, but joins the Kirtan in good voice and work every night and says that maybe he is a little better.

So, we started the work of taking the test and just as we expected it was TWO HOURS on the phone from office to office: Press One, Press Two, Please Stay On The Line. Go back and tell them...

TennCare

UnitedCare

BlueCross Care

Medicare.... but finally we go it sorted out!!!! We also pre-pared/sented the SB with ISKCON Hawaii today. Lot of work. We have no fever symptoms. Seems our work (as described in the Kapi Dhvaja) is on schedule. Our understanding of SB is growing, GROWING, G R O W I N G, with all these classes.

Thank you for your news. Sankirtan Reports. "Where is Sita? Here is Rama's Ring (BBT)!"

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

  Thank you so much Gurudev. Your words are always inspirational to me.

  ! read your many letters again & again.

  You asked in our last communication about office projects, family, temples.

  Office Projects : 

  ! work as technical project manager on Artificial Intelligence (AI), 

  Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Natural language processing (NLP)  

  and AWS (Amazon Web Services). There are so many projects going on.

  Responsible for Technical Solution Design and Project Delivery.

  Family : 

  By the mercy of Guru, Vaisanava and Sri Sri Radha-KunjaBihari 

  all are good in health and doing well. Parents are in home town with 

  younger brother, ! Was not able to meet with parents for last one 

  year due to COVID-19 as am stuck in Pune. 

  Temple : 

  Due to COVID-19 all ISKCON Temples are close since March 21, 2020. 

  So no visit but take daily darshan of lord on WhataApp and am in 

  touch with temple authority and speak with 3-4 bramachari frequently. 

  we speak about Vrndavan Krsna and Krsna's adorn.

  As my area was COVID-19 containment zone for a long time. So

  area was completely sized for long time, no one allowed to go out. 

  it open now. But we can not visit as temples are close.

  Thank you so much Gurudev.

your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Jaya!!!! Your news is always like a look at another one of the homes of Krsna that Narada Muni visited.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All Glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj! Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet sweet sweet Lotus feet....

HpS - I guess we have sweet lotus feet, but they are covered by matter now!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Seems like a long ..long....long..time ago.....

Hope this letter finds you in the best of Krishna Prema!! We long for Guru Maharaj's association each moment of our lives....without Your mercy ....my life is insignificant and wasted...

HpS - AgtSP!!!! We realize how nice Srila Prabhupada has been to us sometimes! .... What would we have without him... 😕

Continuing to read SB in the morning. SB3.25.8 Reminds me how ignorant I am . And how important and essential it is to be connected to a bona fide spiritual master.

HpS - !!

Guru Maharaj , would you please explain to us the process of entering into the kingdom of God tri-pada-bhuti-gati ....a little in detail?

HpS - Wow! Of course this is described in the SB again and again eg. Canto One, The Pandavas Retire Timely, but one very nice description starts at:

https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/19/151/ . Is O.K? LC gives excellent description of all the stages.

Father has a name given by our grandfather who was an astrologer, gave the name Shyamacharan to father. We have started the Srimad Bhagavatam now after the BG. Father finds reading SB very liberating. Yesterday, with deep apprehension he asked whether he shall be able to complete the whole SB !! We are in SB 1.3.24. Thank you Guru Maharaj for your priceless mercy. We remain indebted to you forever.

HpS - Can you read the KRSNA book with him!!!? That is the essence of the SB, all the Vedic literature!

Some senior Vaisnavis ,disciples of Sripad Damodara Maharaja formed a fb group BSDS Vaisnavi Sanga and they mercifully kept me in the sanga. Yesterday we had our first video conference hosted by HG Vridapriya Mataji at zoom. We discussed in detail the song Ohe Vaisnava thakura.....we went on and on...for 2 hours ..and yet wanting still more..! Senior Mataji announced me to read the last verse..Krishna se tomara......immediately , dear Guru Maharaj , you came to my mind....and I felt like running ...pache...pache....after you...as always. I wish we could form a group of our godsisters too....with Your guidance ,Guru Maharaj.

HpS - Tuesday, our ASA, SB class is organized by ASA ladies!

Yesterday on Ekadasi, we celebrated a festival , 'Heikru Hidongba'. Heikru ,in Manipuri language is Gooseberry/Amla. Only after offering the season's gooseberry first to Shree Shree Radha Govinda on this day can gooseberry be taken. Before this, we are not allowed to eat gooseberry. So we tasted this year's gooseberry yesterday. Traditionally, there is also a boat race in the lake adjoining the temple complex. And the winner is gifted with garland of heikru by the King. We still follow the tradition till today. We are sending some photos .

ASA - Yes! We know about this. We saw the canal!! Such feelings of separation from Manipur.

Thank you Guru Maharaj for this life. Thank you for protecting our bhakti.

All glories to Bhakti vinoda Thakur.

Dhai tava pache pache,

Your most insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Hare Krsna! Hare Krsna!!!!!!! May you share your consciousness with so many people!! Thank you!!! Broadcast the news of Manipur to the whole world!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las Glorias a UD, querido Gurumaharaja.

Este gran boletín nos da energía cada vez que lo leemos. Como usted dice, es un reto y a la vez es un aprendizaje. Antuanette (mi hermana) es más inteligente, ella puede entender mejor algunas de las palabras o "frases nuevas". Nuestra meta es traducir y enviar este boletín antes de 3 dias.

Básicamente trabajamos en casa, estamos estudiando muchas cosas. Terminando la especialización, de 5 años, en Pedagogía Waldorf, asesorando a niños en clases particulares, llevando cursos de actualización y asesoría en "Como educar desde la Tecnología sin perder la esencia de la Pedagogía Waldorf". Estamos planeando llevar un curso de Lenguaje de Señas Educativo.

Nuestra naturaleza es ser solitario, investigador y nos gusta leer mucho.

Muchas gracias

Equipo de Traductores (Antuanette & Patrak das, por ahora)

HpS / ASA - Super! TlgaSP! Si puede ofrecer sugerencias como mejorar el Kapi Dhvaja o comentarios del contenido es super. Su Madre, Tia???

HpS - Thank you, CCD!!!! This is the secular name for Candra-mukhi Devi Dasi. She is PhD, teaching in university.

Is nice letter. Will be in touch with you soon.

Maharaja,

This reply was from a post of your disciple on "Fakebook", ["Fakebook"???? Not "Facebook"] so please excuse some of the informalities. Thank you! _o'/\__,

Yes, HPS is perfection in practicality, especially through personal experience. Others, he will empathize to a degree, yet he still knows certain processes individuals must go through. The learning curve is necessary.

As in any business Maharaja understands management positions, the unique bearing in ISKCON is that we're dealing with individual and collective services.

The hierarchy is complicated sometimes and not always in exact lineage which can cause dismay in responses. Maharaja noted the 3 levels of interactions and the subtle fourth being Paramatma, that's the mystical facet of ISKCON.

We may use standard business protocols in most cases, though the "Paramatma" brings the need for spontaneous compensation that usually does not occur in modern management.

So, if we can get mutual universal understandings and still get individual instruction for TPC (Time, Place & Circumstance) within ISKCON that would re-establish some of the tones of Srila Prabhupada.

It's getting everybody on the same page that will be the trick, communications is vital so all information is shared amongst those involved while keeping transparency and still minimizing unnecessary exposure to devotional creepers of the individuals.

Whilst this is devised, we still have to wash pots, cut bhoga, shower-up and go to Mangals at home or the Temple, keeping regulated amongst our quandaries and problems. If we do so Sri Bhagavan will assist with the answer or solve the problem.

Regardless, remember that we must serve faithfully, if not... step back and inhale, re-examine our minds and focus on our service. If this is not clear, consult Hari, Guru, Vaishnava...Bhagavad Gita until you get an answer.

All glories to the Vaishnava's !
