Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaj!

Hope this message finds you well!

. . . . Happy belated Janamastami, SP Appearance Day! And Early Radhaastami!

ASA - - - '@'pop~ AGTSP!

I have a couple of big (material) news. I bought a condo so now I will begin suffering with the perks of home ownership.

. . . . . Of course, it’s Krishnas home so I will do my best to keep devotees coming and going. We just did 'vastu puja' on Saturday and house energy feels better.

ASA - Lots of Prasdam for the Vastu purusa??

We also got a puppy and named him Bhoomi. He listens to Kirtan and falls asleep.

ASA -- Iskcon Brahmacari!!

We are teaching him to bow in front of the altar. He helps with the loneliness and bouts of mild depression I sink into. I know Krishna’s hanging in there with me too but it’s hard to see and feel Him at times.

ASA - In Bhagavad Gita 19.21 Krsna says, "Amongst friends during Pandemics I am dogs who's names begin with "B"".

Also trying to keep thinking of SP but that relationship doesn’t feel tangible.

HpS - Get a BIG pidture of Srila Prabhupada and put it in front of where you work, eat...

Always struggling but always trying. I keep in touch with Trivikram Das in Chile and offered him a chance to come to the US to try working. Association with god-siblings is always revitalizing.

I hope your health, literature projects, solaris, iskcon education work, and virtual sangas are always flourishing! Thank you for your mercy gurudev.

Your struggling servant,

Sugopi devi dasi

ASA - What kind of work are you doing? Do you have your OWN Deities? Do They eat well and have nice baths (even in the mind, offering drops of water in the Acamana cup as paraphernalia), go for rides in the Sunshine?

What is your Daddy doing? He seem like he should be working on some project meant to conquer the world (with love)?

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a Usted gurudeva.

por favor acepte mis reverencias

espero se encuentre bien de salud.

por acá las cosas en Argentina estan alocadas a causa de la pandemia. seguimos encerrados, en cuarentena.

ASA - Como bujos en sus cuevas?

yo salgo a trabajar y regreso al encierro. en un punto fue beneficioso, mejore muchísimo mi sadhana. como le comenté en mi carta anterior, estoy haciendo servicio en krsna west. estoy muy feliz y entusiasmada. hay mucha gente nueva cantando rondas y leyendo a Prabhupada con nosotros.

por la mañana bien temprano me conecto a cantar rondas con Madhu y los devotos de chile, cuando puedo me quedo a clase de Bhagavatam. a veces la maternidad no me permite darme esos tiempos para la clase, entonces cuando no puedo, me quedo leyendo sola. se que no es lo mismo, pero asi no pierdo el ritmo de lectura.

ASA - Es como arroz y dahl. Amobos son necesario en proporcion, no?

estoy cursando bhakti sastri de manera virtual con Param padam, y además estoy estudiando instructorado en yoga infantil. ocupando la mente y el cuerpo.

estuve hablando con Hridayananda das goswami por cuestiones de Krsna West y le pedí fuera mi siksa guru, usted esta de acuerdo con esto gurudeva?

HpS - Si, tengo mi pequeno comprehension de su posicion, y el es mi Siksa guru de esta modo. Por ejemplo, aun entre las Brajavasis, no toma Siksa de todos de la misma manera. No pregunta como desarrollar asuntos de amor conjugal de los pastorcillos de vacas.

Como Diksa guru mi consejo siempre es elegir Siksa gurus solamente en terminos de como su Siksa aumentar nuestra realizacion de 16/4. O. K/?

16 rondas diarias. principios bien. tratando de transformar lujuria en amor (es difícil, cada día es una lucha contra la lujuria).

ASA - La bruja continua hasta que estamos 100% limpio. Jaya, Bruja Negra!

extrañando la asociación con los devotos, estar en un kirtan bailando y cantando.

ahora la vida es virtual. amor en separación.

dejo foto del dia de la iniciación, 7/7/19 en buenos aires, y de mi hija govinda lila.

HpS - Super.

intentando servirlo siempre,

līlā-sukhī dd.

Hare Krsna Maharaja and Team ASA,

PAMHO! AGTSP!

My obeissances to ASA team and are marvellous service of preach. I hope they are very good and united.

Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to communicate by this means.

Briefly I communicate to you the following:

1. Tuesday 25 , day of Radhastami, the class of SBG will be given by Candramukhi dd. A consult: For this ocassion could to be bilingue?, as you see fit. ASA - Yes,YES, Y-E-S! please.
2. I sent August 7 my questions (send several for the bank) about of SBG 2.2 to your mail of yahoo. Please say me, if another correction is required, I find that I am going deeper in each correction. ASA - We saw the letter but have not been able to open it yet. We will now get to them because you reminded us. Our progress is slow because we are striking at the base: Regular Classes even if not very systematic.

Listening classes of SBG some questions arose, please If you can help me with some or all I will be very grateful:

1. In SBG 2.2.1 Sukadeva say:  Lord Brahmā, by meditating on the virāṭ-rūpa. Which virat rupa is he referring to? is the Sarga creation? ASA - We think it is the virata-rupa described in chapter 2.1. Yes, I think is creation of Maha-visnu. He looks at the things around his house, Lord Brahma, and then sees what is there, what was created by Lord Visnu, and then he will become inspired to build on that.

2.One is not able to understand everything the Guru says. I worry about not having the ability to understand the greatness of SP, not being able to understand his teachings. Please teach me how can I overcome this limitation? ASA - Srila Prabhupada says that even in one hundred years we cannot understand these books completely, but if go over them again and again, each time we will understand more. On the other hand, Krsna is also amazed at the newer and newer abilities we discover in ourselves. He made us and then tuned us on.... and now He, Radha, are amazed at the newer and newer abilities that we are discovering in our selves.

3.Some devotees comment that if there are few financial resources these should be directed to preaching and not so much to the expenses of pujari and deities since the most essential is sankirtan. Others say that if the resources for the deities are cut it will be worse, they say: "If you give to Krsna he will give you back with more". Please , what is your opinion respect to this? Have there been similar cases in yatras of USA? ASA - The Deity worship (pancharatriki vidhi) and the Sankirtan (Bhagavata vidhi) have to go on parallel like to rails of a railway track, but because it is Kali-yuga, the Sankirtan should lead and the Diety worship should be developed to follow the Sankirtan. Chant and apply this principle with the intelligence Krsna gives you!

4.Which is the Chapter or Canto of SBG inspires to you most? ASA - Ha! Ha! HaRe! Which do you like more potatoes or mangos?

Note: Abhinanda d is helping to Aravinda d in the layout and translation of books.

HpS - ASA -- Super. Please ask him to review: http://www.jayarama.us/archives/asa-mangala-arati-fmp.docx. Thank you all so much!! Please send some news about your children!!

Sri Nrsimha deva protect you🙏

whit very much gratitude

Todas las glorias a Goura Nitay

Todas las gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Hare krishna Gurudev: Comienzo mi reporte contando que los seminarios sirven mucho para mi predica personal, con las chicas del jardín y otros.

los temas siempre son variados he interesantes,

como cantar una buena japa,

(lo importante de hacerlo temprano,

con una buena postura,

técnica de respiración para lograr la concentración, etc..) ,

[][] los seis síntomas de amor (intercambio de regalos, Prasada para tener buenas relaciones personales)

][][] y liderazgo, comunicación (tener las herramientas para solucionar problemas o gestionar en forma adecuada proyectos de predica) este viernes cada participante explicó una receta de cocina (pastel de papa, torta, helado, halava de zanahoria 🥕 mote con husillo etc...)

...

...

. . . estuvo muy entretenido y aprendimos recetas nuevas para ofrecer a Krsna.

El año pasado

hice el curso de dicipulos

y me quedó muy claro

la importancia de Srila Prabhupada

en nuestro avance espiritual.

además de aprender cosas técnicas de iskcon .

Con todos estos cursos, seminarios confirmo que el conocimiento es crucial para incrementar nuestra fe en krishna, --[con entusiasmo y en la compañía de devotos]--

Muchas gracias por su inspiración para mejorar y ayudar en la predica. Se despide su sirviente Raman Reti devi dasi

hare krsna Guruved por favor acepte mis eternas y humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada. La predica no puede parar aun con la situación actual de cuarentena.

Cuando todo esto comenzo aparecieron 3 chicos en casa queriendo aprender . entonces intentemos compartir lo poco qu3 sabemos con ellos . cantar rondas , vienen hacer mangalartik algunas veces, leyendo los libros, enseñandoles a cocinar y ofrecer. Su entusiasmo por aprender es contagioso y nos mantiene ocupados constantemente. Tambien continuamos distribuyendo prasadam algunas personas. Basicamente eso Gurudev en todad mis actividades eso es lo unico rescatable. Perdone mis ofensas . su eterno sirviente Rohini Kumar Das

HpS - ASA -- En Uru Guay???
