Letters to the editor

😑

😶

HpS - ASA --- Is a very short, concise, artistic letter.

Does the Text disappear?

Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi is getting full letters to us!!

Hare Krishna, Gurudev: Pamho. Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles.

Contesto a las preguntas de mi última carta:

¿como están creciendo Nimai y Sarasvati?

Nimai ha terminado el primer curso de Universidad de doble grado (Derecho y Administración de Empresas). También trabaja algunas horas a la semana como monitor de triatlón en dos colegios cercanos a casa. Acaba de cumplir 19 años

Sarasvati cumplirá 12 años en Septiembre. Es una persona muy sociable y tiene muchas amigas en el colegio donde estudia y también en los círculos de programas extraescolares (triatlón, voleibol y gimnasia rítmica). Ahora ha estado en un campamento de niños (niñas) aquí en Nueva Vrajamandala. El día 12 se van, junto con Purnamasi, a un erasmus de Hare Krishnas a Lanzarote (Islas Canarias) junto con jóvenes de distintos paises europeos.

Pienso que estan creciendo bien y preparándose para desenvolverse en el mundo material.

¿Purnamasi se retirará pronto de la enseñanza?

Pienso que, de momento, le quedan años hasta que pueda dejar de trabajar. Tiene el trabajo y su familia (padres) cerca de casa (Collado Mediano). Sus padres son mayores ( más de ochenta años) y ella debe estar cerca para cuidarlos. Nimai también tiene la Universidad relativamente cerca y Sarasvati se encuentra a gusto en el colegio.

Yo pasaré mas tiempo en Brihuega e iré a nuestra casa de Collado (Madrid) cuando se requiera mi presencia.

La idea es que la mayor parte del tiempo estaré en Brihuega para acudir al programa de la mañana del templo.

HpS - Wonderful new! Is like breathing air after being submerged in the water. Thank you. Respects to all of them. Please say that we hope they will be engaged in doing wonderful things for the world with Srila Prabhupada's help.

Vidas de Santos cristianos.

Si alguien tiene tiempo puede leer la biografía de San Antonio de Padua. Es un santo franciscano portugués y su vida es muy interesante. Recuerdo que cuando la leí me inspiró mucho. Por supuesto Santa Teresa de Jesús (Ávila), San Juan de la Cruz y San Pedro de Alcantara son de lo más interesantes para los amantes del bhakti.

HpS - You are a fountain of youth. this is wonderful reading material. srila prabhupada is such an ecumenical saint. we have never found anyone who is more humble and eager to meet religious people from any tradition.

real saint is eager to see religious life in any national context. learn from it. serve it.

Hare Krishna!!!!

I hope that upon receiving this letter you are in good health.

I don't know where you are now, but wherever you are, I'm sure you are very well taken care of and busy with your preaching work.

I haven't logged into the blog for a long time, and therefore haven't written to you either, but today my ingratitude and procrastination have reached their limit.

I am currently still married, working, and a victim and accomplice of this capitalist system. jejeje..

The world is upside down, with conflicts in the Middle East, in Kashmir... this is how we are... nothing new, self-destructing... It seems that the ethologist Nikolass Tinbergen was right when he said, "On the one hand, man is similar to many species of animals in that he fights against his own species. But, on the other hand, among thousands of species that fight, it is the only one in which the fight is destructive... Humans are the only species that kill en masse, the only ones that don't adapt to their own society. This comment comes from a book by Erich Fromm called The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, which I find interesting. It's an attempt to understand the origin of human aggression and cruelty, from various perspectives (psychology, biology, history, sociology). In short, things of this world.

HpS /// ASA - But bugs, termites, engage in mass attacks and wars, no?

On the other hand, my spiritual life continues, perhaps not at ISKCON standards, but at the one I'm capable of maintaining. I think in my last letter I was in a similar situation. Pfff!!!!

On your last visit, I saw you very well, surrounded by many disciples, whom I know you appreciate very much, who are always there.

Well, I don't know if you'll ever plan to come back here. If so, I hope to spend a little more time with you or just be close by.

Greetings, and my respects.

With affection, Bhadra Vardhana das.

HpS - This was in Spain? Our memory of you is fading! I think I have your image and character in mind!

Traffic control in LIma...

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva. Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva. Por favor, acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Jayanta ha tenido dificultades para escribir mensajes en el blog (cuando escribe, el texto se borra automáticamente; ya lo ha intentado varias veces). Por ese motivo, me pidió que le enviara este mensaje para informarle cómo fue la colecta para los audífonos en España. Este es el resultado:

Gadādhara – 108 €

Jaganmohan – 50 €

Jayanta – 92 €

Kṛṣṇa Kīrtana – 50 €

Gurudeva, muchas gracias por permitirnos ser útiles en el seva.

Hare Krishna, su insignificante sirviente, Abhiram Thakur dāsa

HpS/ASA - We, agtSP, are very embarrassed that anyone invested in our stupid life, but maybe Srila Prabhupada will put us to good use like a fountain pen in his hand!!
