Letters to the editor

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

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

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 !

You're Devine Grace Hanumatpresaka Swami.

I understand you weren't able to get my last letter.this is the latest circumstance in my sadhana.

My job is offering me there VSP program ( voluntary separation program) which allows me to leave my job Sooner planned.

I've decided to look into San Diego temple.i like the idea that they have a farm that supplies ahimsa milk to San Diego, Laguna,and Los Angeles and other great services that I can contribute to.

There's nothing more that I want in this material world, and hopefully I can be of some service to the devotees. looks like SD is a community of well wishers. i hope to be in California by the beginning of the new year if not sooner.

I follow your blogs and hopefully I'll have a better internet to participate in your classes.i see you're deciples become empowered by your mercy.if only some day this mudha could be of service.if there's anything I can offer please don't hesitate.

Servant of the servants Mike Jarvis, from Seattle

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! So, nice to hear you again, Mr. M. Jarvis. Wow! So nice!! Please read the Kapi Dhvaji. www.jayrama.us 'news'. We STRUGGLE to get it up and put our news there. In the Letters to the Editor there is a Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code (KDPC). Please put the code in your Title box in you letter, so it gets rapid treatment.

Don't know much details about San Diego. Head Pujari is our "Disciple" for many years. Just got knocked into the hospital by a truck against his bicycle but recovering. All I can suggest is get to know the situation in good detail.

Basically wherever we can take shelter of Srila Prabhupada is good place. 16 - 4.

See you soon!!!!!!!!

Todas las glorias a Goura Nitay

Todas las gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Hare krishna Gurudev comienzo mi reporte contando que las fiestas de Janmastami, Srila Prabhupada y Radhastami fueron muy bellas , leyendo , escuchando kirtan todo el día y con preparaciones para ellos.

Mi altar de fiesta para cada uno de los festivales, las deidades de casa hermosamente vestidas para la ocasión. Esos días reflexione mucho mi compromiso con Srila Prabhupada para mejorar mi servicio como devota en lo personal y para la comunidad.

Usted me ayuda mucho, pero yo también tengo que poner de mi parte, me esfuerzo bastante para lograr este objetivo y ser un buen ejemplo para otros.

Ayer terminamos el primer canto del S. Bhagavatam ahora ensayo y examen.
