Letters to the editor

Dear Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

How are you?

HpS - ASA -- Brother Ass has a headache, but finds happiness and stimulation is the association of devotees like the superhuman Spanish Yatra.

During these lockdown days, I am trying to get connected to some of your programs in GotoMeeting. I have to thank you for this opportunity to listen to your explanations.

This is the week 6 inside the house. For me, it has been a difficult task at first, but now I am getting used to it, and I am realizing that I can spend more time reading, chanting or playing the harmonium.

I am still working. Everyday, from 9 to 14, I have online classes with the kids, and after that, some meetings. It’s been a little bit more difficult to talk to them about Krishna because I only have 20 minutes with each of them, but, for Ramachandra, we made an origami flower.

HpS - I think Sita Rama must have thought those were the best gives They got from anyone!

Every Sunday, we continue to do the Matajis Sanga on Skype (chant one round, read Krishna Book, talk about something interesting that any of us read or heard about Krishna and then we share some recipes).

On Tuesday, we meet with other devotees to read and extract a verse of Srila Prabhupada’s books. And, Friday, another meeting with devotees where we sing and Jayanta gives a lecture.

This is what I am doing right now.

HpS - More, more!!! Come out of the closet, this body, wake up to the big world of Vaikuntha!

Thank you again for your online meetings and this Blog.

Your aspirant to be a humble servant,

Purnamasi devi dasi

HpS - Can you write a short article for the next Viplavah? Send a little summary by next week and then we can get it finished by 15th? It will be read by educators all over ISKCON and interested people. When you are an old, old, lady what do you hope, expect, to see as the result of your educational efforts with primary school kids? Both with individuals and the utopia system that might develop?

You can write it in Spanish or English. We will edit the English if need be. Other topics are fine. Your own choice or another one would be what are the special aspects of education as people grow up until 12-years old? How is primary education different for boys and girls?....

AgtSP!

Paoho...

As we remember,when we were in San Jose (California), with the new Temple there, Bh. Vatsala Das, Vaisesika Das' brother-in-law, and a super manager in the medical-insurance industry, was flabbergasted by the problems with the Temple management. So he decided that he would offer to become Temple President, and it was enthusiastically accepted by one and all.

After two to three months he told me, as he shook his head in astonishment, that managing in the non-profit sector was completely different than the business sector. So much of the work for Wikipedia, Green Peace, PETA, is all done by full or partial volunteers.

They are not working because you are paying them, they are working because you are inspiring them. You have to keep high-ideals and broad philosophical perspective alive in the day to day work of the corporation.

What to speak of the religious sector!

He said that managing in ISKCON was like herding cats.

You try to get all the cats rounded up and moving in the same direction, but half of them just look at you in incomprehension and peacefully begin to lick their paws and groom themselves.

Ayeeee!

On the other hand, he said, when devotees are motivated, they will do things that you cannot people pay any amount of money for them to agree to do it.

Hare Krsna querido Gurudev

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Deseo se que se encuentra bien y feliz ,

HpS - Que Krsna es bien y feliz! En un juego con Sus amigitos!

. . . . perdoneme por escribirle después de mucho tiempo, siempre está en mi corazón y a través de sus clases puedo relacionarme con usted, yo estoy bien de salud (salvo los pequeños achaques propios de una madre de 56 años jajaja) en casa con la familia , mi esposo Jana Pavana das y yo estamos tomando el curso de Bakthi Sastri el profesor es Prabhu Gandharva Das y cada clase es un nectar, continuamos con el sadhana y hacemos adoracion una vez al dia a nuestras deidades Sri Jaganatha, Baladeva y Subadra y el señor Nrsimha .

HpS - Ya es una buena dia morir! Ir a Goloka.

A los devotos de Sri Krishna, no nos perturba esta situación de la pandemia porque el único controlador es el Señor Supremo, estamos acatando las recomendaciones del gobierno, no nos es posible distribuir prasadam (alfajores y otros dulces de nuestra empresa " Tulasi") sin embargo por la misericordia del Señor no nos falta prasadam en nuestra mesa, estamos utilizando el ingenio y la creatividad para seguir cubriendo lo necesario para nuestra familia.

HpS - Ja! Ja!! Pero, mejor morir y ir a casa, no?

Muchas gracias Gurudeva, por sus enseñanzas, por estar siempre para sus discipulos .

Que el señor Supremo lo bendiga siempre y el señor Nrsmha lo proteja.

Hasta pronto querido Gurudeva

Lavanya Mangala dd

Actualmente estoy cursando un curso de liderazgo y administración online por la plataforma Cultura del Bhakti impartido por prabhu Parampadam.

Mis reverencias Gurudeva. Hare Krishna.

HpS - Use a Serif font like Times Roman instead of the Sans serif like Ariel! Reduce the line spacing. Make the first points Bullet points. They are called the Masthead: Who is writing, why, when. Look at our Kapi Dhvaja layout.

Hare Krsna Dear Guru Maharaj,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus [lettuce] feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

  Am very happy and grateful to Gaura-Nitai for two bags of groceries there at your porch.

  You are witness of such many many reciprocation of Lord.

  If you still remember the airplane incident. Where airplane went up slowly after your japa.

your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Do not remember 'airplane incident'. The presence of death is very apparent when we are flying, no?? Every bead a Gopi, who wants to dance with Shyama! Knead them and rub them and feed them as they dance along! What amazing plan does Krsna have for your life????
