Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva. Pamho, AGTSP!

Thank you very much for your support and response to my previous letter.

All we can do is accept and tolerate whatever corresponds to us by karma.

HpS - No, no, no!!! If you are chanting 16-nice rounds a day and following 2-principles strictly then what happens to you is not "Karma". Even if it is Karma it is now under the control of Radharani not Durga! So, see what happens to you! Draupadi had to see what was happening to her and her husband(s) and try to be very, very, very Enthusiastic do join Krsna's drama!!!

There is nothing else to do and say. If you surrender to the supreme lord he will know how to proceed before the problems. They are difficult days, but they could be worse.

HpS - You could have five husbands!!!

I am helping in the edition of one of the books of SS Bhakti Tirtha Swami and in reading he speaks precisely of suffering. He explains that we have to suffer for the karma of other lives and for the offenses (aparadha). Vaishava-aparadha, guru-aparadha, dhama-aparadha, nama-aparadha and seva-aparadha. Even if we are engaged in devotional activities, such offenses cause us to suffer imbalances and stagnations. But these challenges help us increase our meditation on God, Krishna.

I can only see in all this, the divine intervention of the Supreme Lord.

We know you are coming to Mexico for June, we would like to know how can we serve you during your visit?

HpS - It is a plan!! Arrive Houston end of May, then Education Symposium first weekend. So we could slip away to Mexico!! During that time!!

Prabhu Vidagdha sends you greetings and is very grateful to you for your support always.

HpS - We also had very nice exchange of letters with H. H. Guruprasada Swami about this situation. If we are Temple President, Project Manager, Head Donkey, we should never act independently in administration without Brahminical consultation. We don't have that authority, no?

hare krsna Gurudev por favor acepte mis reverencias. Continuamos con mangalartik atendiendo a GN y ofreciendo todos los días los alimentos que luego distribuimos "Vrindavan house" se llama nuestro servicio de almuerzos delivery y cada vez mas personas tomando prasadam.

Gurudev nuevamente le hago presente la invitacion para visitar Asunción-Paraguay temos opciones de predica en radio y tv y también universidad . perdone mis ofensas y aspirando ser su sirviente siempre . Rohini kumar das

HpS - TLGASP!!! Utliza el KPC (Kapi-dhvaja Priority Code) del "Letters to the Editor" del Kapi Dhvaja en "Title" de sus Blog posts!!!!!! Super, super su Sankirtan. No lo cambia. Solamente mejorar!!!!! Calendario es en el Kapi Dhvaja y desarrolla de planes aqui.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj... Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you and All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Guru Maharaj, Thank you so much for giving me initiation on your vyasapuja day and adding the best memory in my life. It was your birthday that day, i should have given you something but instead you gave the biggest gift of my life. Thank You dear Guru Maharaj.

I am following four regulative principles and chanting 16 rounds daily. By your mercy I am doing some services in the temple and contributing something to Sri Radha Kalachandji.

Guru Maharaj this Feb 2nd we would be completing one year worshipping our deities Nitai Navadwip Chandra. THANK YOU so much Guru Maharaj for engaging us in their service. We love serving them.

Guru Maharaj our God Sister Rukmini Mataji from Peru is here with us. Urjeshwari Mataji a senior disciple of Tamal Krishna Maharaj who looks after the Gift Shop gave lots and lots of clothes including sarees for donation to the devotees of Peru. She said this is my small service to Maharaj. I was so touched maharaj by this humble gesture of Mataji.... I remembered you taking sarees to Peru the last time and felt that Sri Radha Kalachandji is so so merciful.

Guru Maharaj I like worshipping Lord Rama and have a liking towards Lord Rama from many years. Can we keep Lord Rama in our altar and worship him?

HpS - Yes... if you want a very special Deity will appear!

Guru Maharaj though I keep myself busy in some activities like stitching dresses for the deities and making jewellery for them, chanting, doing household chores but still sometimes I feel that I am doing nothing. I feel i should do some course and work for sometime. I dont know stiching still I somehow manage to learn the basics by myself, i feel i should join some classes for my hobbies or rather do some further course related to academics and start working rather sitting idle as I use to work in India.

These things keep rattling in my mind making me helpless to take decision. Please help me Maharaj and give me your blessings so that i may serve you and Srila Prabhupada.

Please always keep me in your service

Your Humble Servant

Divya Sri Devi Dasi

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! What do Srinath-k. Das and your family think? They see you often and can give practical perspective on you nature. Which books of Srila Prabhupada's do you like????

Hare Krishna dear Maharaja!

AGTSP PAMHO

I hope you are better of that chest pain and headache and stomach pain...

Friday February 14th was the family ceremony for Rodrigo remembering 1 year since his departure from this world. They invited us to the catholic ritual in the same church of nuns.

Very boring ceremony... but after, Rodrigo's family invited all the people (Rodrigo's friends, family, etc.) to their home and offered vegetarian food to share. Lakshmi Radha DD, Arjuna Das and Carlos, they shared with family and friends in both ceremonies. Once all the people installed in the house, we started to read aloud, like a declamation, some poems of Rodrigo's last book ("Visions, Dreams and Mantras", is a master piece, really), and also remembering stories with Rodrigo. Another friends and family also shared their feelings and rememberings. Was a very nice moment. Before we go, family gave us a box full of books about Krishna (part of Rodrigo's personal collection). We still missing him. I send a selfie with the family and another selfie alone.

DR. SAMARESH ON WIKIPEDIA: Maharaja, please forgive me. My wikipedia account still blocked (and also my mind). And really I don't understand why, I only know that I've done something wrong in the process, but don't know what.

There is an article about Hanumatpresaka Swami and I think if we find that person who created and upload this article, maybe could help us. Maybe some devotee who reads this letter could know who is that person. Here it goes:

ABOUT YOUR LETTER "ISKCON Management Santiago": Yesterday I translated it and shared with some chilean congregation devotees through Whatsapp. Here it goes:

ADMINISTRACIÓN DE ISKCON SANTIAGO

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada. Por favor acepten nuestras humildes reverencias.

Secretarios del GBC, Presidentes, cocineros, expertos, extraños, Brahmanas, jóvenes, mujeres y otros nos han preguntado sobre la situación administrativa en Chile.

Nuestra opinión debe ser entendida en perspectiva.

Hemos visto esto en las relaciones de las Gopis con Krishna. Está en "El Libro de Krishna" en el siguiente enlace: https://vedabase.io/en/library/kb/21/#bb91143 (la edición en español del libro "Krishna, La Suprema Personalidad de Dios" aún no está disponible en Vedabase.io) "Las Gopīs en Vṛndāvana lo recordaron y comenzaron a hablar entre ellas ... ". ("El Libro de Krishna", Capítulo 21 "Las Gopis son Atraídas por la Flauta").

Primero, eran buenas ciudadanas de la aldea de Nanda Maharaja: las vacas ordeñadas, regateaban el precio del yogur, pagaban sus impuestos. Entonces, todos deberíamos ser buenos ciudadanos de ISKCON como institución, apoyar a nuestro GBC, no esperar más del 75% de perfección de ninguna institución en Kali-yuga y luego,

segundo, ellas tenían amigas confidenciales con quienes hablaban de Krishna. Entonces, nosotros en Santiago hablamos a puertas cerradas con el Presidente, GBC, cocineros, Matajis con sus hijos/esposos, etc. Todos son de nuestro agrado. A veces Krishna nos empujará a empujar a nuestros amigos fuera del tráfico si han sido negligentes, pero eso es superficial y es señal de amistad (ej. Dhurva y los Yaksas).

Finalmente, cada una de ellas tenía su propia relación individual, personal, con Krishna. Entonces, a menos que usted tenga una relación directa (a través de tantos medios transparentes) con Srila Prabhupada como su Acharya personal en ISKCON, sentimos que tiene un progreso fundamental que hacer. En algún momento, usted estableció una relación con Srila Prabhupada donde decidió que incluso si todos sus amigos en ISKCON, en el Templo y en la Administración Global se volvieran locos, usted nunca dejaría de servir a Srila Prabhupada, por ejemplo, ¿las 16 rondas entusiastas y los 4 principios regulativos son un compromiso estrictamente personal con Él?

Nuestra naturaleza es Brahmana, Brahmana, Brahmana, Sudra; desde la perspectiva general hasta los detalles exactos.

Ahora nuestra opinión como Sannyasis, con lo que sabemos, es que Sripad Amara Das debería consultar con Brahmanas, Gurus, Sannyasis, familia, líderes y luego sugerir a alguien como Vicepresidente para servir en el cargo con él durante unos tres meses; y entonces si las cosas van funcionando básicamente bien, esa persona debería convertirse en el nuevo Presidente de Templo y Supervisor Zonal.

Después de un año todos pueden reconsiderar la situación.

Escriba lo que se espera lograr durante los tres siguientes meses y hasta un año, haga que ese documento lo firmen varios líderes y lo publiquen públicamente.

Entonces, Srila Amara Das y todos los líderes, deberían guiarnos con el ejemplo tomando Sannyasa, saliendo de los engranajes administrativos después de unos años y salvando a 25 generaciones de sus antepasados.

Como somos Sannyasis dentro de la institución, queremos ser libres para publicar cualquier discusión política y administrativa que tengamos aquí en este blog y así esté disponible para los amigos y enemigos inteligentes de la Anjana Suta Academy.

Tu turno.

HpS - Thank you!!!! We are trying to buy tickets for Chile right now!!

Hare Krishna querido Maharaja,

TlgaSP, PAMHO. Deseo que se le haya quitado su dolor de pecho.

Tal como me pidió en la carta anterior, pongo el KDPC.

Si, fuimos juntos a la Universidad en Madrid. Mucha misericordia cantando y bailando el santo nombre en el aula con los alumnos, profesores y devotos. Adjunto fotos.

Esperando saber cuándo vuelve a España para organizar las vacaciones en el trabajo.

He cambiado de trabajo. Ahora tengo que cantar las mayor parte de mis 16 rondas en coche. En casa leo SB, BG y KD.

Adjunto también otra foto mía y con mi esposa.

Deseando verle pronto y refugiarme en sus pies de loto,

Diego.

HpS - !! Si, Si, KPC es essential!!!! Como se llama el departamento de estudios religioso en La Complutence??????????

So nice understanding of the sastra, more deep. 

In relation with Santiago Temple now we are helping in administrative seva, but not like commander, Prabhu Amara Gouranda decided that prabhu Vasudeva (a devotee of Bolivia that have with many years in Krishna Conscience) take this role in the temple, and i have to do another role, organize services, Receive stays and donations and administrate the laksmi. I was taught by Prabhu Amara to be the temple treasurer. 

Now we are preparing the second version of "Molinos de Viento" our magazine. In the Sunday 1st of March we will present the physical copy of the fist edition, we was problems with the impresion, very expensive. 

I was organizing my time to comply with our services. I have already composed two songs based on the acaryas songs, i want to serve you all my life, each second, thank you master, i follow your lotus feets, i appreciate all your effort to maintain us in connection with Srila Prabhupada. 

Help me please, i want to clean this dirty heart.

Thanks Gurudeva.
