Letters to the editor

Dear Gurumaharaja, Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada, All glories to your service to the Sankirtan Movement 

Isn't more clear moment than this to reflect upon our priorities in this Human form of life ; people is losing their bodies, their family members, their jobs and their security and so-called shelter. Nobody knows to whom to turn to, but you thought us perfectly to whom we have to turn to, to Sri Krishna and their associates. 

All this had make me reflect how seriously i’m investing time in my sadhana and in Krishna’s Service. 

I finished my Post Grad in Canada but with all the COVID situation I lost my job, my immigration status, and all our tours were cancelled. Fortunately I was traveling to Mexico to visit Ranchor just few days before Canada closed its borders. Now we both are at my Parents house Chanting Hare Krishna and trying to improve sadhana. For example: waking up @brahma muhurta chanting our 16R early in one sitting/asana [phone forbidden] and after that deity worship and morning Prayers for 1hr. My memory is not that great as Ranchor’s prabhu but I try to memorize words.

Gurumaharaja, i want to honestly and sincerely open my heart. I feel separation from my service and community in Houston. My independent mentality make me flicker in my services and I want to surrender that mentality, I want to remain fix in a service to you and your projects. I really belong to Nila madhava Dham, and I would like to serve there in Goswami Academy. Devotees who I consider shiksas and from whom I take inspiration are there.

HpS --- What does The Ranchor say!??? Your family? Krsna is only a picture passing though the lens of Srila Prabhupada. What does he say?

Please Gurumaharaja guide me, is very easy to get misguided from propaganda of getting money, professional status or just material stuff. We just need a community where Ranchor and I can associate and develop our capacities and to be honest I never believed that I can teach because i’m an untrained Sudra, but I know that if I have your blessing, Nilamadhava blessing, Subhra, CC at all the devotees I can be instrumental. 

Sincerely yours,

Govinda Pramodini Dasi & Ranchor Krsna Das 

HpS --- I don't know, but I think it is certainly O.K. to pray to Krsna and Prabhupada and get guidance. Things maybe changing fast. Krsna my want us to go to a different universe, back to Goloka! Get instrucions from Him daily.

All glories to sri sri gaura nitai, Tlgsp, my respectful obeisances unto you gurudeva.

I laughed a lot about my empty letter, and thanks so much for your reply.

In my letter I asked how were you in health? He had talked about Easter, Easter and wished him a good Gurudeva day.

Here I continue fighting with the terrible mind I have, but I no longer feel many fears that I had before and I am happy about this

I hope to see you soon gurudeva, my respectful obeisances at your feet.

Hare Krsna Dear Guru Maharaj,

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11042/

  You beautifully captured Radah-Krsna in heart. Actual reason of Dance and happy.

  Your comments will take me more close to Krsna. 

  'Atma-ram' always fixed on Radha-Krsna.They enjoy lilas of Lord. They don't like

  come out from lilas. External activities does not affect them, never. Because

  they are not there. While externally they are there but not actually. They are

  always in lilas of Lord.

  Thank you so much Gurudev for everything.

your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

ASA - There is nothing but Vrdnavana Dhama, no? Everything is just a ray of Vraja! Play for Krsna, [but ghastly reality for us!]

Hare krsna, admired Maharaja, please accept my sincere obeisances. Indeed we were visiting together Fernando Amerigo, director of the Institute of Sciences of the religion in September. And I visited him again in January to continue advancing in the relationship of this institute with Nios. In future contacts with them I will focus on the Solaris magazine, when we return to normal after the pandemic if we continue alive. I will inform you.

thanks for your encouragement and advice, 🙇 Hare krsna !!!

HpS - Yes. El Abhirama-das-Thakura Das said he was also in contact with you. If enough good rats make enough good noise, that cat will retreat!

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

PAMHO. AGTSP.

I hope this email finds you well. Hope your health is progressing.

HpS - Just like you our health is 'progressing' to the crematorium. Puff! Better to 'jump ship'.

It’s been a while since I’ve “checked in”. As far as new news- I started a new job about a month ago and basically focusing on that.

ASA - Banana bowler?

I had an arranged proposal from a devotee from the UK and it didn’t work out for reasons beyond my understanding. It was an intense reunion, very emotionally fueled. Perhaps we had some unresolved karma to burn through. All the astrologers said we were a good match though which made it more disappointing. I’m trying to get through it and keep faith that Krishna has someone better in store.

ASA - Krsna is a jealous lover.

I’m working on progressing my Sadhana. Spending more time with devotees and cooking and offering. Morning program is steady every day. Chanting isn’t steady but its good when it is. I've recently confronted my feelings of being distant to SP. I’m not sure why that it is but ive read books by SP as well as his disciples to get a better understanding and feel close. And at the end of the day – I feel like he’s just not accepting me. This is a harsh feeling to confront but I’d like to try to do everything to help me change my mindset. Even when I see his Murtis at the temple, it feels like he’s disappointed in me.

HpS - Hmmm? He is very merciful. We are ashamed how much we have abused his mercy and we TRY to be better. Part of it is not that we are arrogant, but that we are just not well educated. THE WITCH tricks us.

O.K. Back at it. "Love is not love that bends with the remover to remove, but it is an ever fixed star to each wandering bark whose depth is taken but worth unknown," Old ENglish. Anon amouse!

So in a nutshell- there’s been lots going on and my mind is everywhere but I’m praying to be eagerly engaged in service and thoughts of Hari. I pray everyday for clarity and signs. I keep in touch with my godbrothers and we’re all gripping to fight against maya. It’s a struggle.

I pray for your protection and also pray for guidance.

Thank you for your mercy maharaj.

Your struggling/aspiring servant,

Sugopi dd 

HpS - Best wishes!!! Get the secret code from the Letters to the Editor in the Kapi Dhvaja to get more attention to letters.

Dear Guru Maharaj, 💐💐

Dandavat pranam Guru Maharaj, 🙏🙏

We pray unto the lotus feet of the Almighty lord Sri Sri Goura Nityai that Guru Maharaj lives long healthy and successful in all of spiritual activities so that all of disciples become luckiest by serving your lotus feet.

HpS - That is maybe a curse. Maybe better to die very quickly and go to Goloka and have all of our followers do the same.
