Letters to the editor

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!

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.

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)!"
