Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaj. Pamho, AGTSP!

I am a bit slow for communications, but I like to have something solid to say.

ASA - AGTSP!!!! paoho. Then this biography might interest you.

Two points:

1.- Education.

I liked your idea of ​​three levels of Pada Padma students. It's natural. Let's see if it works. I'm starting soon.

Some questions about it. According to what I understand, then, it will be an exam as you have described it. I guess students will be have a bank of questions beforehand so they can be trained, right?

ASA - Yes, that is our idea. Many short answer closed book questions and open book essay questions that are subject to oral presentation for evaluation. Dharma for ladies in Canto One. Examples and principles of reception in Canto One...

So, the old ASA system of one essay per chapter is abolished? I think tpp are still good. I may make some notes with the documents you sent.

ASA - We are thinking of a system where people can get certified by Canto and then take up the next Canto when it is convention.

Apart from a Bhakti sastri and a Disciples Course, soon to start, I will also give some (4) seminars throughout the year. It will be on Sundays immediately after Srimad Bhagavatam's class in Chosica. I have proposed that the first two be about communications in ISKCON.

The first on internal communication and another on external communication, that is, the local community, institutions, etc. These two points seem vital to me. Many times the lack of good internal communication, and therefore relationships, generates misunderstanding that does not allow us to grow. Likewise, due to poor external communication we have lost our influence in the community. Of course, as a devotee commented to me, without a solid spiritual foundation, a solid sadhana, these issues would only be inconsequential rhetoric.

HpS - Sounds very nice!!!

The third and fourth seminar would be about Srila Prabhupada. One about his position in ISKCON and another about the importance of reading and studying his books. I believe that all these seminars will be of benefit to all.

ASA - Super!

2.- VAD

My relationship with Raman reti mataji is very solid. We get up (each one is his house, of course) at 3 am to chant our rounds. It gives me time to do some readings and then connect to the FMP. We also read the Krsna book together (by phone) at night.

Our plan, with the blessings of you and the devotees, is to go to Chile at the end of July to bring her to Peru to prepare our home and get married in November, settle down and start our life together. It is very clear to us that the reason for getting married is to help us be better devotees, better people and make our sankirtan together. We have several plans about it.

ASA - HpS - Santa Rosa of Lima - Confucious --- Hare Krsna. God Bless you! Plan for eternity, but also realize that you are both individuals and that marriage is just one part of your reality.

Thank you for being so understanding and tolerant of me.

Your eternal servant

Laksmana-agraja DAS

ASA - Rama Das!!!!! See you in one month! So much we can do, no?

AGTSP paoho. Yesterday was like 97% effective. Always lots of details contacting different devotees, Sankirtan, Viplavah. Printers, second hand store, market, post office!!!

FEP with NgD and Vijaya!

Today, FMP and then body seemed to need some rest.

Now 6.37PM quick Bath and headed to Friday program with NgD et al. Will broadcast on gotomeeting.com

Hare Krsna!!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO

It is superb to have your association everyday at FMP.

ASA - Oh, no! It is superb to have yours!

I just asked for some mercy during the Gaura Purnima festival in Chosica I will help in Pujari. I am over the 🌕.

HpS - Nothing destroys ignorance like humility.

I was accepted in another University. They sent me an invitation to teach in there due to my professional experience. Besides I continue in Jaime Bausate y Meza University. I am not a full time professor. So as U said I can be involved in more brahminical activities. I do not have a hefty schedule.

Regarding the New Center in Lima that I put in the title Jaya Laksmi dd will send you a letter with deep explanations. Neverheless, I will give you a summary.

The New center is located in Miraflores, it is modern, big, well located. In the center we do yoga, Bharatanatyam, Holistic therapies, mantra meditation. We perform mangal Artik on Saturdays we have Gaura Nitai deities, Yoga Nrismha. Namahatta programs. We distribute prasadam. We are really looking forward to invitating you when you came in April. On Sunday we have a meeting in Callao in order to plan your visit. In this center we are trying to avoid Vaisnava aparadha, and try to enthuse the devotees to continue firmly in Krsna consiousness. I am overjoyed to have the opportunity to work with such top notch devotees. Please your blessings to continue with this project. I did not tell you this in advance due to I did not anything about that in advance and I just collaborate there giving gem therapy.

I am attaching some pictures. Nevertheless Jaya Laksmi dd will send you a letter with more details.

Thank you all so much Gurudeva

Trying to be your disciple

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

He leído su hipótesis en el blog acerca de Vainkuntha loka y Svarga.

También leí en SB 3.2.20 que los guerreros que fueron matados por las fechas de Arjunas se purificaron y por contemplar el rostro de loto de Krsna despertaron ese amor latente y alcanzaron Vainkuntha loka.

Srila Prabhupada explica que Uddhava veía su propia posición como menor que la de tales guerreros. En ese sloka se está hablando de Vainkuntha trascendental, sino como Uddhava podría compararse con esa posición? 

HpS - I think it is the Vaikuntha in the spiritual world. They were appreciating Krsna and Arjuna in Virya-rasa like Bhisma!!!

La pregunta es: cada guerrero a excepción del gran Bhismadeva tuvo un destino diferente? Svarga y brahmajoti?

HpS - Como yo entiendo todos ha ido a Vaikuntha con Svarupya mukti! Krsna es tan bondadoso. 

Hemos leído el significado de verso que Usted publicó SB 10.6. 37- 38 "En Vaikuṇṭhaloka, Pūtanā alcanzó el puesto de enfermera (dhātry-ucitām ), como lo describe Uddhava. Pūtanā fue elevada al puesto de enfermera y criada en Goloka Vṛndāvana para ayudar a la madre Yaśoda"

Héctor y vuestra servidora tenemos la pregunta: Uddhava se refiere a que después de llegar a Vaikuntha loka Putana alcanzó Goloka Vṛndāvana?

HpS - No, se, pero pienso ha ido a Goloka. She was born in Vrndavana from what we know from the Vraja mandala Parikrama. She is not an ordinary demoness!! Maybe had to make a stop here and there in the way.

Cómo ocurre ese avance? 

HpS - Look at how Ajamil went to Vaikuntha after the Visnu duttas saved him.

Si por alguna misericordiosa sin causa puedo llegar a Vaikuntha loka quisiera ir lo más pronto a Goloka Vṛndāvana porque seguramente allí podré seguir sirviéndo a Usted, pero anhelo mucho el ticket directo y sin escalas a Goloka Vṛndāvana, el precio parece muy accesible pero al mismo tiempo tan lejano...

HpS - Yo aspiri nada mas del ser miembro del partido de Sankirtan de Srila Prabhupad vida tras vida, cual quiere es.

Gurumaharaja por favor disculpe que robe de esta forma su valioso tiempo. 

Que el Señor Nrsimhadeva lo proteja a cada instante y su energía sea la más óptima para servir a Srila Prabhupada.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd 

 HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! Esperamos podemos organizar los iniciaciones!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

This is another letter to inform you how is going my trip. The last Saturday 22th, I finished all the activities at the University of North Texas. I met a lot of good professors who are promoting intercultural education and funds of knowledge. One of them, was Dr. Hagen. She is the director of the Child Development Laboratory, which is a center that functions as a preschool and welcomes children of many nationalities and cultures. She was very happy of our visit. We were visiting this center many days.

Before we going, I gave her the Solaris magazines of the Art and the Sacred, and the Education and the Sacred. She was very interested in them. In fact, Prabhu Abhirama gave me those magazines for the devotees in Dallas. But I consider better to gave those intercultural magazines to Dr. Hagen.

At Sunday 23rd, I arrived to Srinatha Prabhu's house. He and his wife are very kind and excellent hosts. I feel very happy to stay with them. Srinatha Prabhu introduced me to the mataji who is in charge of the Sunday school. She allowed me to observe a class. Now, I'm in coordinations with Nitya Kishori mataji, the principal of the TKG Academy. I'm planning to have a couple of visits to this school. Also, I'm visiting the temple of Radha Kalachandji (we're very near) and trying to do service everyday.

I'll stay in Dallas until Monday 2nd of March. That day, I'm travelling to Houston. Subhra Mataji got a place where I can stay. So, I'll be able to visit the Goswamy Academy. I'll stay 3 days un Houston and then I'm travelling to San Francisco. I have some relatives theres, so they invited me to stay for a while with them. Of course, I'll visit the Berkeley temple.

That's all the plans for now, Gurudeva. Now, I depend on Krishna.

Thanks a lot for reading this letter.

Trying to learn at least a little everyday,

Rukmini Devi Dasi

HpS - Super!!! AGTSP paoho. Krsna has a plan for your life! He doesn't waste resources! More news. More news!

Todas las glorias a Goura Nitay

todas las gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Hare krishna Guru.M comienzo mi reporte contándole que estuve trabajando por tres semanas con dos pequeños de 2 y 4 años bastante trabajo tiempo para leer solo en el metro, me adapte a las condiciones mi SADHANA en la mañana fue el mismo. Bueno este periodo termino y comienzo a trabajar con renato, también le cuento que el programa de los días domingos muy bien preparadolas clases los devotos haciendo preguntas muy contentos así que bastante satisfecha cocina cada vez más experta mi desafío es poder hacer una tarta 🥧 para KRSNA. se despide su sirvienta Raman Reti devi dasi

ASA - Thank you. Mother Yasoda was giving her milk to baby Krsna and then His milk on the stove started to boil over. She had to decide which service was more important. Srila Prabhupada says in the puport that the devotee is always being confronted with these options of different services, but if he is sincere then Krsna, within the heart will dictate which is priority.

Of course, since we are 50% sincere we can confirm our inspiration with Srila Prabhupada and devotees!!
