Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

Gurudeva, even if I work in two universities and now teachers are overloaded with more work. I can say that I am doing quite well.

For instance, the university asked me to be a full time professor but I refuse. It is important to make a balance in life. So that, I can have time to other activities like cooking for Krsna and then with my sister we take prasadam. She is a vegetarian by force jajaja she does not how to cook so, she almost never eats meat. She has to buy it, and mostly she eats chicken not meat.

HpS - Tell her that I warned her that if she pays for people to kill chickens then in her next life she will be born as Colonel Sanders!

My deities at home are so gorgeoous it is very nice to take care of Them.

ASA - Designer clothes?

As I told you I was asked to give a speech about Anxiety. I did it. It was 70% successful. It is very sad to see how people in general think that you are crazy if you asked them to meditate to comtemplate,and when you tell them YOU ARE NOT YOUR JOB, breath, take a pause. SOme receive my message others just continue the way they are. Stressed, and their lives are job centered.

ASA - Donkeys smoking cigarettes.

My gem therapies are ok, I have a full set of gems of top -notch quality. I gave some therapies by distance with mantras and meditation and others in person.

I also go to therapy to my right knee. I have chondromalacia.

ASA - You must be very proud to have a disease with such a big, Latin name!

Nevertheless, I do not feel discouraged. I accept it and move on.

Regarding FMP leading kirtan SUNDAY is covered: Rohini kumar das, Parasurama das and Priyasakhi dd (from chile also) So we have two gentleman and 2 ladies. Let's see how it works. I have already explain how to do it as you requested me.

Ulyses is getting old but he is the strongest at home, he gets along pretty well with my cat "Peregrino"

Thanks Gurudeva

See you in FMP

Trying to be your disciple

CMDD

Asa - Thank you. Tom Brown devi donkey. Are there girls kung fu clubs near you?

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gournga Mahaprabhu

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Ki Jay

Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisanses unto Guruji's padmacharan that I could not write letters to Guruji Maharaja because all the time in the reply the wrote "[ This email address is used only for sending notification from HPS Blog, please don't send replies to this email address.] again they write " Please (!) send letters following the protocol at www.JayaRama.US/kd/lte.htm " in this address also I could not write due to technical reasons. Please send us the address for communication.

Recently I went and met Nanda Gopal Das in his house, he is willing to write something so I handed over the same address mentioned above but whether he could write or not I could not communicate. Later I will go and meet him again.

In the same Bolg, Dr. Sarda Devi also wrote Guruji some letters and same reply as myself.

Guruji Maharaja, once I heard that Guruji Maharaja is looking the International Cultural Exchange Programme (Ranganiketan). Are you working the same? In this regard one of my friend suggested to show the Gouralila in the shortest form in Manipuri by the Manipur child artist taught by Mrs. Sila Devi, Asst. Prof. of Dance in the Manipur University of Culture. I want to discuss with Dr. Sarda, she is also interested in such cultural activities.

I frequently met Prabhu Partha Sarthi Das in connection with the publication of the translated Bhagavat Gita As It Is in Manipuri (both Bangali and Manipuri) script. We have completed third time correction. In the mean time Prabhu Partha Sarthi Das is trying to compose a selected words, sentences of A.C. Prabhupada, the deep underlying meanings in the form of Guide Book. So as we can understand the central ideas of Prabhupada in the Gita. I will quote some of the contains in the next letter, because I am not in a position to remember those words and sentences exactly.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamuneswara Das

HpS-ASA - All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thank you for letter and news from Manipur.

We too are slow responding and have technical problems for head to floor.

Yet, we are all connected if we the mornings to chant not snore.

Our respects to Gita scholar,

Nanda gopal all.

Today is Kartika starting,

Now is red and yellow Fall.

Chant more rounds better.

We don't have any cultural exchange programa now, but we will keep you as a correspondent if we hear of such.

Come out of Manipur and preach.

Still reading SB??..?

World Classical Literature - Shakespeare

Sriman Hansadutta Swami told us that Srila Prabhupada said, that we could teach Shakespeare in Gurukula.

Gopi-paranadha Das told us that he heard SP explain the Merchant of Venice in London, and then found a Bengali translation: Venicia Vanik.

We also heard that SP said that if you want to understand word power you can read Shkspr.

'are Krsna!!! Just a note to let you know that we have letters up to one week old not answered. We are struggling (with our lust and laziness and) a lot of work, but seems we will answer everything.

ASA - TB/BW - HpS

Dear Gurudeva,

Pamho, AgtsSP!!!

Hope you are fine and in good health, I m [I'm] really greatfull [grateful] and in debt with [to] you, for allways [always] inspiring and accompany the fallen ones like me. I appreciate so much all the efforts that you do, the fmp, and your lectures, that sadly many times I can't get all of them, with 50% of attention and monkey jumping over me.

HpS - We feel inspired by you! Using so much creative intelligence for Sankirtan and to maintain your Ashrama. Courage, strength, determination. Hmmm? Maybe we are all getting mercy of Parampara in the biggest part?

Many times I fell like in the middle way in my spiritual path, with a feeling of apathy towards the world, a little mixed with melancholy and sadness, and at the same time searching for a real flavor in the Bhakti practice.

HpS - In NOD Rupa Goswami says this is normal.

The Vaidhi Sadhana is much mechanical,

HpS - People pay a LOT of money for machines in this world, no?

. . . but the necessary medicine I need for craziness…hankering for the real flavor, I fell [feel] like licking the bottle on the outside… how to take the step in purifying the felling, in starting to have a real flavor in spiritual life, in which personal relationship settles steadily, not from disappointment in the world but from a positive position in which there is a personal and loving relationship with Radha Krishna?

HpS - By trying to do the Vaidhi Bhakta more expertly, no? Same time looking for the causeless mercy that Krsna sends and grabbing it.

Even a small percentage of sincerity (me) on this path has lasting results! After so many stupid, lazy, selfish years, by the unlimited patience of Srila Prabhupada, I am advancing in detachment from this material world and attachment to the spiritual world (or else I am becoming senile and prone to sentimental hallucinations).

Gurudeva, many changes this times, a strange year, but nice in the inner place… We are at this time taking a big decision in moving to live in the mountains, very nice place, quite far away, there some devotees, friends, inviting us, a project in progress, much ideas, big chance...

HpS - 1. Who are you? What is your position, nature in the situation 2. Who are we? Family, invitees. Their nature, motives. 3. Plan based upon the kind of person I am, we are... 4. Parafernalia eg. land house horse hose hat heat. O.K.?

In all these times change my work more to the online and is good, slowly developing these, by courses, consultations with Ayurveda counseling and therapy, and also starting reading charts with vedic astrology, Maxi Peralta invited me for next month to talk about vedic astrology in a online meeting of symbolic languages, with the Jungian people…

HpS - Super. We are waiting for the final version of the next Solaris and then we can all send it to Maxi, Sonu Shyamdasani, Bernardo!!! We are looking for a Jungian who knows their side of the river and wants to build a bridge to Rupa Goswami's side.

 Your insignificant servant,

 Madhavendra Puri Das

HpS - Thank you? How is your family?

Carrying on in Texas. Humbles and Glories. 

My job as an audio technician has opened back up. I have many days of work though my back cannot handle the heavy stuff much longer. Mi esposa is nicely situated with her job working for the City of Dallas. Once a week I go to Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji's mangal arotik. I have to be on the road by 03:45 for that. Mostly I go to read the Prabhupada Nectar. We just finished Vishaka Devi Dasi's book about Srila Prabhupada called "5 years 11 Months and a lifetime of Unexpected Love" which was amazing. Now we are reading Yogeswara's "Swami in a Strange Land". 

Although I have had two good months of sankirtan the weather has become really cold and rainy, and I have to go back to work, making it very hard to get out. I bought a case of "Karma La Justicia Infalible" and sold the whole box. So I ordered another case. This time it is "Meditacion y Superconciencia" and have sold about half the case. As far as english books, my son Abhaycharan Nimai Dasa had a stack of 26 various books in Gita Nagari that he felt should be distributed, so he sold them to me to move them here in Texas. So far 11 of those books have been sold including a big hardback "Nectar of Devotion."

I hope this meets you well, safe, and comfortable. Mishra Bhagavan Dasa

HpS - Hare Krsna!  You seem to be situated in Subhadra as well as Bhaga: Auspicious as well as opulent life. Can we publish this letter in the next issue of Viplavah?  Do you also read Srila Prabhupada's direct books? Eg. Krsna book and hot milk?  We find that they act as the catalyst for understanding these other books. All respects to Mataji. Anybody who could live with you has to be a saint. Of course, you don't count because you have no option.  <img src="https://s.yimg.com/nq/yemoji_assets/latest/yemoji_assets/1f60e.png" alt="Emoji" height="16" width="16">
