Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj!! Please accept my humble obeisance. I, the servant of your servant, am from Manipur. My name is Sheityajit.

Mataji Sarada Gaurangi Devi Dasi told me about you Guru Maharaj. I feel it a blessing to get association of her. I used to attend SB classes daily and I get the chance to meet her there. She also gave me SB books. SB class is very enlivening. And association of devotees is giving energy to the soul.

I want to get initiated but my parents are not agreeable. I also want to live as brahmacari but they want me to marry. But still I'm single.

Guru Maharaj, please instruct me as to how my parents will become agreeable.

And Guru Maharaj, sometimes I just can't chant for no reason. Minds get distracted by worldly problems. Please tell me how to drive away this distractions.

I have much to enquire from Guru Maharaj. But I just can't speak up and I am too excited, getting nervous. Hare Krsna.

HpS - Jaya! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! Thank you for your letter. We are just little servants of Srila Prabhupada. If you are reading his books and applying the instructions therein with as much sincerity as you can then you are on the right path and all your questions will be answered.

Prahlada tried to make his parent, Hiranyakashipu happy with him, but it was not possible. Sometimes it is possible and sometimes it is not, but you can keep trying. You are not the Best Friend. Krsna is. So try to help Krsna, help your parents, family.

Details of B'cari ashrama etc. become clear as we advance. In the beginning just answer the question? Who is Krsna? Is He the cause of everything and its controler? Who am I? Simple questions first. Of course the advanced appreciation can be there" How beautiful is Krsna, but we should really focus on understanding Srila Prabhupada and the importance of chanting 16-nice rounds and following four principles.

Jaya!

Then everything else will follow!

Thank you. Go on chanting, reading and preaching.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to H H Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj. Please accept our humble obeisances at your sweet,sweet lotus feet.

HpS - AGTSP. It is a transcendental sweetness we must taste, no?

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Hope this letter finds you in the best of health. We feel a lot about your eyes, GIT and Your beautiful heart. We love you a lot and we miss Your wonderful association so much.

Nilanda wrote to you last week. She is expecting a reply soon. Satyajit was so excited that he forgot to write the KpD code. In his excitement he could not even write anything. Thank you Guru Maharaj for all the sweet mercy that You have given on fallen aspiring servants like us. Thank you so much.

HpS - We will look for "Nilanda" on your recommendation right now.

We do not see any letter by "Nilanda". "Nalini" had some old letters we just read and posted. Maybe we find them later???

We had wonderful association with devotees from Vraj, Indonesia and Haryana. We got to listen to classes from HG Madhavendu Prabhu from Vraj, HG Jai Govinda Prabhu from Haryana. HG Ananta Prabhu and HG Mohini Mataji from Indonesia are taking charge of Jagannath temple there. All their sons are devotees too.

We started the second part of Canto 3 SB today. There's a young lady who is attending SB classes regularly. She is into documentation and film making. Her energetics shocks me!! She is so full of ideas...and a lot into multitasking. Thank you so much Guru Maharaj. Your mercy came a tad too soon.

Here we have a total lock down. But we continue to report for duty...for Krishna's pleasure. We are continuing our frontline services for the patients. The first positive case of COVID-19 in Manipur was reported yesterday. Leaving my life in Your hands dear Guru Maharaj. Kindly have mercy on us.

Your insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - AGTSP --- Paoho. We just published a letter Titled like 'Maharaja Please Don't Travel'. I gives our little perspective on the situation. Just go on being a person. Chant softly and and Krsna will give you intelligence how to deal with the situations!!! That simple, no?

Pranam Guru Maharaj

Sorry for late annual report. The last year we have completed a short cause on Vaisnava Sadcar, (a compilation of Srila Prabhupada teaching) and basic Arcana procedure under the guidance of HG Ramanuja Prabhu. In the month of August 19 we were at Gangtok to help the preaching mission of H.H. Bhakti Anand Haridaj Goswami Maharaj. Then from 7 to 15 October we were at Navadipa dhama for parikrama and now attending morning Bhagavatam class ,chanting as usual and distributed some copies of Gita. My advice to the innocent people is to associate with advanced devotees so as to enable them to hear about Krishna's wonderful past activities and train their mind to remember non other than Krishna.

Hare Krishna,

Your most unfit disciple

HpS - Super!!! AgtSP!!!

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gouranga.

How can I express with my poor language the adoration and glorification to my revert Guru and his instructions.

Gurudeva the day before yesterday, the 28th December 2019 we have celebrated your holi 72th Vyas-puja along with other devotees at Radha damodar mandir of Toubul, birth place of Sripad Maharaj. Everybody glorify your humility and simplicity very nicely.

Before my initiation I was also very much impressed by your humility , childlike simplicity and keep strict principle of a Sannyasi. I have seen these rare gifts Lord Krishna has given to you.

Krishna has arrange such a rare guru for me and I am very fortunate.

You are an empowered pure representative of Lord and I beg your mercy to guide me in the right direction.

I humbly prayed to Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupada to give you healthy life so as to enable to carry out preaching mission of spreading Krishna consciousness around the world.

Your unfit servant

HpS - AGTSP paoho. You can see that we are struggling with our letters. If you put the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code in them we can catch them better!!! We try to put general news in the Kapi Dhvaja, so if devotees read it then we can answer individiual letters with more alacrity!!! Thank you!!!!!!!

Hare Krsna dear Maharaj! 

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

Please accept my humble obeisances! 

All glories to you on your appearance day. I hope you always have good health to continue being the Awesome Guru that you are. I really hope you come to visit Australia some time soon. Otherwise, when I get a job, I can travel to where you are. Please bless me so that I may always remain Krsna conscious and be of service to Guru and Gauranga!

I was in India for a month actually and it was really amazing!!! Also not very money friendly hahaha. Almost all of my savings are gone. So I’ll be looking for a job come New Years. 

Sorry I haven’t written to you in a looong time. Actually I always think about what I will say but I never do. I should not just think but also do!!! This can be by New Years resolution. 

Anyway, actually my laptop is in repair right now so it’s not the easiest to type a lot. When I get it back, I have a lot to share about India and some other things. 

So, again dear Maharaj, I wish you all the best. I remember my father saying something about not being too sentimental about such things. So I’m just trying to be as simple as possible I guess. 

Our whole family sends their regards and wishes and we all miss you. Hopefully, by Krsna’s grace, we can meet again. 

Also, I would like to thank you for everything you have done. You are always there to help me when I need it and I’m very grateful. Thank you!!

The Harinam party continues, GAURANGA!!

Yours servant, 

Lakshmi 

HpS - Thank you. AGTSP.... paoho... We are in Boise, now! We hope you are realizing the importance completely reawakening our K. C.! We are all going to die. It is how we live that counts, no? Any more letters from you? We will look. Please read our "News" at www.JayaRama.US

Prof. K. -- Hare Krishna Maharaj ¿PAOHO¿We are sure you are aware of the current troubling situation and so much as we will want you here amongst us , the situation in Tenneessee is getting from bad to worse ¿There is a governor's order of self isolation and so we haven't been able to be around anyone since the last 9 to 10 days because of health conditions too¿Missing our walks but will not be able walk for another couple of weeks at least ¿There is a shelter in place order expected which will create more limitations ¿To make it short we humbly request you possibly stay in Houston , if it's at all possible , for your safety too as they are asking us not to venture out and not make any trips unless it's absolutely necessary or urgent ¿Please take care¿Hare Krishna ¿¿¿

HpS. -- Thank you. We are in Boise, not Houston.

Doctors, firemen, telephone men all have to try to do their work in the middle of draughts, wars, plagues, no?

I am really controlling our contact with people, but some of them are looking at us, a Monk, with the eyes of drowning men, "What happens when you die?".

This has always been the duty of Monks, missionaries. 🙂.

We MUST give up 'life breathing'. We must learn to be that attached to the Holy Names!

Thank you so much.
