Hare Krsna, Guruji Maharaja

Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto the padmacharan of Guruji Maharajah that this letter is draft some weeks before but could not post. Luckily today I can open the blog. Excuse me for the delay.

The translation work of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is of A.C. Prabhupada in Manipuri (Bangali and Meitei scripts) is completed and the proofreading stage is 3^rd round completed.

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP!! I don't think people realize how much editing work is necessary for producing good books. Nobel Laureate, Albert Camus, said that unless you rewrite , edit, six times, you are a coward! Thanks to the editors.

Due to Covid, progress is delayed. While translating the English version of A.C. Prabhupada “Bhagavad-Gita As It Is” Prabhu Parth Sarthi Das found some words and sentences which gives two meaning internal and external. Such words and sentences are really will be helpful for the kaniska bhaktas and general readers. Prabhu Partha Sarathi Das is trying to publish the collections in a small book form so as to help the readers. The name of the book will be “Key English version of Srila Prabhupada bringing out the divine transcendental messages as implicitly contain in the selected verses of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is”.

Example :

4:27    - Purport - Last Para but four sentences – The senses interact with the sense objects.        

5:21   - Purport – Last but two sentences - Spiritual realization and sex pleasure go ill together.

9:1     - Purport – Second Para - Discussion of Krsna is very potent and if a ……

9:2     - Purport – Last Parra first sentence – As will be seen in Bhagavad-gita, actual devotional service begins after liberation.

9:26    - Purport – First Para last but two sentences : Bhakti is never causal.

12.1    - Purport - First Para fifth sentence – The personalist devotee engages himself with all

                                energy in the service of the Supreme Lord.

15:8   - Purport – It is a false claim that after the annihilation of this body everything is

                               finished.

17:15 - Purport – Middle part – One should at once quote from scriptural authority to back up

                              what he is saying. At the same time, such talk should be very pleasurable to

      the ear.  

In the Bhagavatam 11.21.41 – Translation : The Vedic meters are Gayatri……   and in the Purport : The Gagatri meter has twenty four syllables.

       Prabhu Partha Sarthi Das narrated me that the qualities of Bhagavan Sri Krsna were sung firstly by Brahma, from this tune the Gayatri is known as Brahma Gayatri. It is one of the sandas of Veda twenty four syllables. Veda has different sandas as Gayatri, Stupa ….. etc. Again for the satisfaction of mind different Goswamis used selected verses as hyme and it is known as Mantra.

HpS - Is very nice and Lord Caitnya is so kind that he has made it accesible for people with even less scholarship, and in essence it all is manifestation of the Maha-mantras: Sri Krsna Chaitanya.... Hare Krsna... Haraye namah...!

Prabhu Sadhubhusan Das will forward some pictures and videos of the Vyas Pujah at that time I will try to upload those things because I am fully engaged in the management of the function so I have no time to take pictures and not so expert.

HpS - Thank you. We hope that it was glorification of you, me, Srila Prabhupada, Bh. SIddhanta . . . Krsna.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamuneswara Das

Especially 4.37.20 - We weren't born to be happy."

Hurray! Krsna!

AgtSP

paoho...... we are dying? How about you.

Brother Ass' chest aches are very low.

Eyes are weak but O.K.

Digestion O.K.

Got water dripping in Kitchen and Bathroom because it is already (9.53PM) below freezing and if the water is not moving in the pipes they will freeze, expand and BURST (B OOM!).

How are you?

We have 16 nice rounds done.

[] [] []

We love Krsna.

We are afraid of Him. He is just to frightenng! He wants to eat us! With His glances.

Got a lot of letters more, but our backside and eyes hurt from writing. It is also hard to do. So nice to hear from devotees.

Gave three classes to day: NOD, Puerto Rico (that was fun) and Murfrees boro. Ran to join NgD for our 45-minute walk. Heard a little bit about the madness of Trump??

Cut and collated the last DTC(p) and started a new one.

We don't know much beyond what is happening in our little room.

🤓

Can dye and any moment. Or live for 10,000 years.

Oink!

Hare Krsna! Hare Rama! vidya vadu jivanam... Always chanting gives us priorities. There is unlimited service, and no one can do it all. Do the most important things first and then the rest of the army, Krsna, will do the rest.

Where is Sita?

Here is the ring!!!

We will return to Rama with your jewel.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.

By your mercy, Gurudeva, I am continuing my Sadhana as I reported to you last month. In addition, because I am on break, I am reading Srila Prabhupada's books for one hour every day, as you suggested to me a few months ago. I memorized eight verses from Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2 and am working on learning the Sanskrit meters of the verses we encounter in Sastra.

HpS - ASA -- Amazing!!!

Gurudeva, I was wondering if you could kindly instruct me on how I can serve you during this time. I always remember how you say that one should become a third-class servant and follow the Guru's instructions, before trying to become an advanced servant and act based on one's opinion of what the Guru might desire. 

Your insignificant servant, eternally indebted to you for your mercy,

Sugopi Radha devi dasi

HpS - What kind of nice people have you found in the world? Could Shakespeare become a devotee? Any nice books by people eg. Socrates? Others?

Go looking for people, living or dead, who can become devotees.

Hare Krishna Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Espero que este bien Maharaja, le quería preguntar una duda que tengo acerca de una frase que un discípulo suyo me envió que dijo usted.

En el texto dice que el que duerme en el Brahma muhurtha tomara conciencia para nacer como rata en Vrindavan en la siguiente vida; entonces tengo dos preguntas:

1- Es que nacer como cualquier tipo de animal en Vrindavan es una bendicion incluso como una rata y será su ultimo nacimiento en la tierra. Por qué si dormir en el Brahma muhurtha no es una austeridad tiene ese resultado tan bueno de nacer en Vrindavan.

2- Cual es la fuente de los sastras donde indica esa información ? ya que no la escuche antes en las escrituras.

Muchas gracias.

Su sirviente.

Madhavendra Puri Dasa.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope Maharaja is well.

HpS - 90%, but fighting with The Witch. Your association is essential!

I wanted to ask you a question I have about a phrase that a disciple of yours sent me that you said.

In the text he says that the one who sleeps in the Brahma muhurtha will become conscious to be born as a rat in Vrindavan in the next life; so I have two questions:

1- It is that being born as any type of animal in Vrindavan is a blessing even as a rat and it will be its last birth on earth. Why if sleeping in the Brahma muhurtha is not an austerity does it have such a good result of being born in Vrindavan.

HpS - ASA -- I don't think we said that. I think it was the prediction of Monkey or Piggy et al. Prabhupada said, (they say), that if we are in ISKCON, but don't follow the regulative principles well then Krsna may find a way to sneak us into Vrndavana by the back door eg. as rats in the sewers or lusty monkeys.

But he said better to come in through the front door with our head up, showing a good example of Srila Prabhupada.

He said, there are already enough monkeys in Vrndavana.

2- What is the source of the sastras where it indicates that information? since I did not hear it before in the scriptures.

HpS - We would have to find Monkey and ask him. The above is part of the "Sastric" citation. Morning walk? Class? Also, now we are remembering Srila Prabhupada saying in one of these also about ... I think Yajnavalkya Das b'cari told me he heard Prabhupada say that if we sleep during Mangala arati we will become rats in our next life. They like to pile up together under ground and sleep.

Story of regular day of Krsna in Krsna book gives nice description of Brahma muhurta and its importance.

Thanks a lot.

His servant.

Madhavendra Puri Dasa.
