Letters to the editor

All Glory to Srila Prabhupad and all glory to the followers of him, involved on this sankirtan movement!

Pleace acept my respectfull obeisances.

Dear Guru Dev, Fortunately I have continued with the Japa and the principles, I have continued studying the books of Srila Prabhupada, every day I am witness to the progress of the degraded era, and simultaneously of the magnificent power of Krsna,

I am always very grateful to his person, who gives us a tireless example of looking for and following Krsna,

unfortunately I am very bad in the social formalities. So I've stayed on the sidelines but simple in ISKCON, I'm still sharing as far as I can learn from you and Srila Prabhupada. Again I present some questions:

HpS/ASA - By nature, agtSP, the Jiva is 'marginal potency', no? so sannyasi, goswami, is naturally 'marginal' to the institutional aspects of society. arjuna was a ksatriya in active years, so KRSNA, urged him to do his duty, but internally detached/acting for KRSNA, while vyasadeva he told to stay in the forest, write, travel and preach.

so, your position has seemed very essential to our institution and proper! Continue.

By adding all the verses of the Srimad Bhagavtam (of BBT) there are only 14094, 3906 are missing for the 18000s Are they somewhere or to what is this?

HpS/ASA - This is a broad, continuous, old discussion, investigation in ISKCON, by simple devotees like us and Oxford graduate devotees in Theology.

Maybe a different way of counting verses, maybe different version is being used. That is 78% accurate. 🙂

In Kali-yuga, which is not the age of Jnana, that seems very good. Like I get fed 78% of the time!

Also, the statement that there are 16-words in the Maha-mantra is an accurate count, no?

Now we have to chant It, Mahamantra, no?

Now we have to read and test it and apply It, SB, no?

Many times they invite me to meetings with devotees from other Sangas, I never go, to avoid having to fall into controversy, however, when they ask me for support and advice, what is the most correct answer you should give?

HpS/// Tell them, chant Hare Krsna, Hare Rama, and expect Krsna and Rama to kill any demons in ISKCON, and to preach to the innocent, and if they want you to do more, then They will unmistakably empower you.

Beyond, and following that, we can read Srila Prabhupada's books to people.

Same controversies in Goloka, but there all the fights are FUN!!! 💥 💥

Krsna & Narada Muni say that the Brahmacari must dress with deer skin and should not polish their teeth, however in the NOD it says that daily you have to clean them. Similarly, Sri Caitanya says that at this time sannyasa is not taken, and Srila Prabhupada says that it's now an emergency, however each Sanjasi as a spiritual leader, have their own priorities in the details of preach, and this causes confusion among which we're neophytes, what can we do to help unity in diversity, practically?

HpS - That is why we have Parampara. Each student learns the contemporary process and details and the general principles. Then s(he)it communicates the general truths and uses the general principles of how to adjust for current time, place and circumstance, to adjust to time, place and circumstance. In Mexico you preach in Spanish, not Swahili.

Srila Prabhpada explains the kind of Sannyasa we do in the verse purports describing Narada's sannyasa, and he shows it by his personal example!

And if there are not Tulasi, Rudraksa can be used to count the japa?

Thanks a lot for your mercy, I'm always very pleased and admired to know about your activities, they're a great example for me. Hare Krsna, your crew member AniruddhaKrishna Das.

HpS - Just a few more moments and we will be with Nimai in Nabadvipa. Srila Prabhupada will take us there.

Hare Krsna, Dear Devotees,

PAMHO, AGTSP.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Querido Gurudev, En estas semanas he estado muy contenta, mis rondas han mejorado en todo los aspecto donde puedo ver que mi esfuerzo, determinación paciencia y entusiasmo son muy importantes como usted me dijo alguna vez cada día es una nueva oportunidad para mejorar, siempre estoy pensando en que mejorar hay aspectos más arraigados que otros donde requieren más estrategias para cambiarlo pero en eso estoy.

Mi sadhana muy bien, lectura diaria Con Lad y las devotas qué han aumentado. siempre con entusiasmo tratando que se sientan acogidas y resolviendo sus dudas, lectura especial en fiestas y recordando los Ekadasi. distribuyendo bolitas una vez la semana. Mi servicio con la deidades es muy especial siempre pensando como decorar diferente en casa fiesta, sus joyas como mejorar o hacer alguna creacion nueva, pensar junto a LAD qué hacer de prepararacion para que ellos coman,es un hermoso servicio.Estamos haciendo algunos arreglos en el templo de casa para que estén felices en su hogar, la última fiesta fue muy hermosa el señor Nrsimhadeva y Sita devi muy contentos.

Estuvimos en Cusco junto a los devotos y ese hermoso paisaje que krishna creó.

Estoy bien de salud, nadando dos veces a la semana, saludando a mis padres, hermanos cada día y video llamada una vez por semana, por último trabajando cuatro veces a la semana haciendo fisioterapia, y clases de natación.

Sin la inspiración de Srila Prabhupada y la suya esto no sería posible. Muchas gracias querido Gurudev. Se despide su humilde sirviente Raman Reti Devi Dasi

All glories to Guru Nitay.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Gurudev, I've been very happy these past few weeks. My rounds have improved in every way. I can see that my effort, determination, patience, and enthusiasm are very important.

As you once told me, every day is a new opportunity to improve. I'm always thinking about improving some aspects that are more deeply rooted than others, which require more strategies to change, but I'm working on it.

ASA - 🏅

Marvelous! This is an example of the life of a General!

My sadhana is going very well. I'm reading daily with Lad and the devotees, which has increased. I'm always enthusiastically trying to make them feel welcome and answering their questions.

I'm reading especially during festivals and remembering the Ekadasi events.

I'm distributing little sweet balls once a week.

My service to the deities is very special. I'm always thinking about how to decorate each celebration differently, how to improve their jewelry or make a new creation, and how to think with LAD about what to prepare for them to eat. It's a beautiful service.

We're making some arrangements at the temple at home so they're happy in their homes. The last celebration was very beautiful, and Lord Nrsimhadeva and Sita Devi were very happy.

We were in Cusco with the devotees and that beautiful landscape that Krishna created.

I'm in good health, swimming twice a week, greeting my parents and siblings every day, and video calling once a week. Finally, I'm working four times a week doing physical therapy and swimming classes.

Without Srila Prabhupada's inspiration and yours, this wouldn't be possible. Thank you very much, dear Gurudev. Your humble servant, Raman Reti Devi Dasi, says goodbye.

ASA - 😢

Krsna has been so kind to you! SP says that as we become more advanced we begin to live in this world as a replica of Vaikuntha.

Of course, one of the perfections of this world is that it is always imperfect so that we can never be perfectly satisfied here and always want to go back to help Radha and Krsna in Vrndavana.

How is the Catholic church in Chosika?

Where do you distribute Prasadam?

How is LaD's mother sister and her children et al?

What is happening in the first photo? Men stacking rocks?

Gaura and Nitai get half of the Bhoga Offering plate each? Seems nice. 🙂

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

So Sadhu Sanga was amazing !

ASA - 🐵 💥 💥 💥

Last year the main problem was that there was a 45 minute to 1 hour wait time for prasadam.

The organizers (Govinda Charan das and his wife Rasika Shiromani Mataji) are very conscious of these types of things.

They really want to provide the best experience ever. So this year,

they picked a huge resort center that had a much better capacity.

Almost 4,000 devotees dined with ease and had little or no wait time!

ASA - 🐷 indeed it is an act of God!

They were serving with 20 double lines manned by about 50 hotel staff.

Everyone loved the prasadam!! (Me too!)

The head chef, Daruka Das, had me on the "A team" this year.

Which basically just means that we wake up and start frying the paneer really early.

I also helped with the salad prep.

HpS - For whom were you cooking?

Here are some photos!

Oh! ... ... Including the spontaneous Mangal Arati that me and Sunanda das had in the hotel lobby.

This was one of the highlights of the trip this year, because he happened to have Lord Nityananda's Holy Paduka with him and we worshipped Them during mangal aarti. 🐒🐒🐒

And when I was at Radha Kalachandji's dharma, ... ... I got to worship Radha Kalachandji !!!! Thank you !!! 🙇🙇🙇 HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!! Paoho....

Also, there are some photos of the beautiful Goverdhan Sila that someone brought to the kitchen. (I guess He was hungry!!) 🍰🍰🍰🍰

Mangal Aarti ki Jaya!!

Your servant,

Jaya Hari das

HpS/ASA - Along with CCD/SDD report this is great. The ultimate basis is the hearing and chanting, no? The potency of the Kirtan.

A danger is that it becomes to much of a professional show and there is no advancement as a society: https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/4/10/#bb1200

Is true?

Dear Guru Maharaja, Hare Krishna!

Please accept my obeisances.

All glories to AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada!

Regarding what you wrote here https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15627 — “I don’t know why Krsna has kept us in the ISKCON Boise community” — I would be very grateful if you could share more about how you personally understand and experience that Krsna kept you there.

Was it through the invitations you received, or did you feel a deeper inspiration or sense of purpose that Krsna was keeping you there? Was there something happening in the community that you felt Krsna was using to hold you in Boise, or perhaps a sense that He wanted you to continue serving there?

Did you ever sense a mystical or inner prompting from Krsna, or a feeling that He was personally guiding and keeping you in Boise?

I ask because, as a sannyasi, you have the freedom to travel and share Krishna consciousness wherever you feel inspired, and I’m genuinely interested in how you experience Krsna’s guidance and the feeling of being kept in this way.

If you feel it’s something I could understand, I would be very grateful if you could share it with me. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts — I deeply appreciate your perspective.

Your servant Namacarya Das

HpS - AgtSP.... paoho..... 3.44pm here. we are living by sipping a little water, breathing air and chan ting hk hr.

you?

being connected to boise temple is in perspective of balabhadra das' post about his connection with the community.

we responded that KRSNA seems to put us into different communities.

we meet someone.

they lead us to a certain temple and...

.... we stay involved.

in the beginning of our traveling sannyasa days we received many invitations to visit different temples, but it was more than we could do, so we decided that we would visit temples that invited us three times.

it seemed then that they really must feel they had a use for us.

on another hand, we decided that we would make Boise and Nashville part of our regular travels and camps since they seemed to be less visited like los angeles, san francisco, houston, new york.

from that we developed a lot personal relationships with boise and realizations of how it could be practically be used in our little sankirtan effort. E.g. we used to vist, san diego, los angeles, san francisco, portland, seattle, vancover on the west coast, but by camping in boise we realized that devotees could come and visit us.

also, because of our academic nature we developed academic relations with the academic devotees there like radhika ramana das, gopal, sri hari das and family etc.

then very nice 'village' relations.

i think many of us have relations with small communities and larger regional centers such as we also have with Nashville and Houston, or Krsna has with Braja and Mathura.

It seems that you might be trying to figure out why you are situated with ISKCON Pulah in your own case.

Some devotees seem to be destined for Larger Things and work with crowds of people. I know devotees like that.

Just because we are preaching, teaching, joining the chorus, in a village does not mean that it is small preaching.

Stanslavskii said, that in the drama, play, there are no small parts, just small actors.

In the end everyone of us is Krsna's most important friend. Every morning it hits my mind that Mangala arati needs better rhythm, melody, comprehension of the meaning of what we are singing, and my mind says, well, this is just the way it is. just tolerate the faults and get it over with, but, no, then my intelligence, training by our Guru, ISKCON Guru, Srila Prabhupada et al, says that this is where ISKCON global gets a spiritual basis for the day or not.

so, houston, [nashville [richmond va, boise id]] are our camps, and it is getting harder and harder to get out to the peripheral camps as our body becomes more and more like an old bucket with a broken handle, but these are the big and small centers where we work, and we want to hear about your work as the leader of ISKCON Pulah, Crow Ace See Ya!
