Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP PAMHO

Gurudeva, during this Quarantine period I could realize how everything has become so distorted.

I work in 2 universities. But the pressure that one has over us. It is just insane. Sadly, education has become a business. The universities do not want to educate anymore. They are just thinking in the profit they can gain.

HpS - ASA --- Yes! Bhakta-das Das, my first temple president told Srila Prabhupada, "Sankirtan is the best business!" and Srila Prabhupada said, "Yes, but don't make it a business".

So, I was wondering if you can recommend me one devotee who can help me in thinking about what business can I perform which can help to spread KC. My house is pretty big. I can take advantage of it.

Please tell me who can I approach. The other day I was working from 7:15 am to 5pm that was totally insane. We have fill 💯 forms with lots of different formats. People are losing the real perspective. I do not want that for my soul. I hanker activities that nourish my soul.

I love to teach but nowadays I am very stressed and unhappy.

In Spanish we have a phrase. Somos SERES humanos no HACERES humanos.

I would love to live by the sea.

Thanks in advance Gurudeva

HpS - By the arrangment of the Great God Gopal who lives in the Sky that is the topic of our NOI class tonight! See you there, Pujari ji.

Hare Krisna Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP and its faithful followers.

I hope this letter finds you very enthusiastic. Here we continue well with some variations due to the virus. I turned sixty and now because I am from a "risk group" I don't have to go to work until the "Alarm State" ends.

I think that I will not go back to work anymore, since on May 6 I start the holidays until May 31, which is retirement day. I am reading more and singing the rounds with a little more quality (it is still insufficient).

We continue to do Sat Sanga on Fridays by Skipe and on Tuesday afternoons we also meet to read available Sat Sanga members. I had to lend my computer to Nimai (my son) since both he and Sarasvati are following the online school classes. So everyone is with a computer.

They (the children) are in Madrid with my in-laws until the confinement ends and Purnamasi, who works online, and I am at home.

I have heard some kind of Saturdays with the Purnamasi connection. I hope I can adjust my time to hear the May number possible. Well, I think it is the longest letter I have written, so I leave other topics for another time.

May your sankirtan be a source of ecstasy for you and that many people can benefit from it.

Your inept servant

Jayanta das

P.S. I just changed the title of the letter adding Gismo 11 so as not to write a new one.

HpS - Thank you for the news!!! And all your help! Thank you.... We can't let anything impede our Sankirtan. HOld on to the lotus feet of Krsna very tightly and we will never experience an obstacle to the forward progress of our minds, nor will our senses be degraded by contact with matter. More letters to read. Let us go!

Dear Guru Maharaja

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

We just completed our move in to our new house and celebrated our first festival here. Divya Sri dressed Nitai Navadwipcandra beautifully and made a nice feast for Nrsimhadeva.

By your mercy, we are ready to start the Bhakti Sastri course in Dallas. We opened registrations on Sunday at 10 a.m and within 15 mins, our capacity of 20 seats were filled. There is lots of interest in the yatra here. We want to start small and then expand in a scalable manner.

We are starting with NoI and are starting the first class on 17-May-2020, Sunday, between 3pm-5pm. Till congregation is allowed in the temple, we are going to have it online.

Please bless us so that we can please Srila Prabhupada and Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji and Their devotees with this endeavor.

I got a message from Sucarya Mataji, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada who lives in Dallas, that she wanted me to pass on to you. Below is the message she sent me to pass it on to you after listening to your class on Sita Navami.

Hare Krishna. Listened to a conference today where you G M was speaking.He made very good points from a scientific standpoint.

Ladies always need protection and I feel the men are very respectful and very encouraging in our devotional services .

Thank you. Just say that I really appreciated his words. they were brilliant. And very Krishna conscious thank you.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HPS - Thank you. ! We experience that a LOT of devotees join, but then there is a pretty good atrition rate. Try to help them but don't be discouraged if not everyone is first class!!

Oink!!! Whoop! Whoop! So much has happened every day!!!! Laksmana agra ja Das said that. We make eternal improvement in our service daily, every moment, if we are chanting Hare Krsna...

Got lot more letters to answer. NOI-TPP to edit, all the work in the Kapi Dhvaja, but... we are too tired. So, Krsna book and hot milk.

We looked at the letters and the URGENT KDPC ones and the KDPC ones, and the others!!!

Hare Krsna. See you in Kirtaniya Sada Harih: Rohini kumar Das, Uraguay Ki Jai!, Srutipriya Devi Dasi, Ki Jai, CMDD, ARTD

Thank AMD-KMDD - Arrange for Festivals. Mini-festivals. Have nice display to introduce the culture and distribute Prasadam books, gifts, things you write....

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!

AGTSP paoho.... B/W Here. How are you? Brother Ass is about to die, but that is normal. Your donkeys.

St. Francis: This body is as ass that we ride through this world. Don't spend all your time taking care of an ass!

Our hay-fever dropped about 90% today! Yesterday was INCREDIBLE! Inflamed throat, inflamed eyes, inflame flame flamed nose..... Aaaaacho! We were sneezing like 27 times/hour, but today down down down.

Why?

The material world is often inconceivable and if we try to understand it will waste our time!

We

can

serve

KRSNA!!! even in this world. Hurray Krsna!!! Hurray Rama!!!

Maybe it is because we cleaned the dirty, dirty, dirty air filter on our portable air conditioner.

Maybe it is because the offensive plant we finished distributing its reproductive matter.

Maybe ... .... WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO DO!

Let us just work for Krsna!!! HAW RAY!!!!! K R S N A

1. Kirtaniya sada harih. a) 16-enthusiastic rounds b) Morning and evening Kirtans c) Always chanting and letting the chanting generate all other plans, actions, understandings!! Hari-nama-prabhu!
2. Full Morning and Evening Program
3. Sankirtan. Meet with your Sankirtan Partners after Breakfast to plan the work.and at the end of each day discuss the days results! WHERE IS SITA?? This means to look at the mail!!!

So----

• We should be O.K. to join FMP in our normal role tomorrow.
• We should be able to meet with Hector et al tomorrow.

Sripada Rupanuga Das called us. We would like to talk with him more but we have limited Data for Whatsapp calls. ARTD calls us with his cheap Peru:>>USA card. We use Reliance card for India.

He was suggesting and asking us what our diet is. He is 97% genius as Ayurvedica.

1. We only take Nrsmha Deva Maha-prasada! We really pray to serve Him what He wants.
2. Many local devotees, ladies, cook for Him. We are trying to get them to cook according to His tastes, amounts, schedule.
3. For Him we cook Kitri most days: Like one carrot, one celery, fennel seeds, oats, split peas, little, little, olive oil. Salt. We make it like a soup and offer and consume the broth separately.
4. Maybe ripe banana or baked potatoes also.
5. Hot milk and Krsna book after everything.
6. Apples. Oranges even in the morning make too much acid. Can fry the apples and then put in some water to boil into chutney.
7. Raisins for sweet.
8. Little sugar... Tomato, other green vegetables, and SWEET RIPE fruit as it is offered.
9. We can make fennel tea and then leave the seeds for the Kitri. Should we add a little lemon and ginger root. Main thing seems to be that whatever we offer it should be the same thing for several days.

For the ASA Encyclopedia, Uncle Gismo, we want to have a section "Bachelor Beans". Does Namacharya Das have notes for this? Can we write it with Kunja-bihari Das and Sripad Rupanuga Das?

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
