Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna!!! We posted an article with our opinion about the administrative situation in Santiago.

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/10887/

The only response we heard was in the Latin American GBC where one member expressed that it was a little shocking and surprising that we were suggesting that His Grace Amara-gauranga Das should take Sannyasa now.

We wrote at the end "Then, Srila Amara Das and all leaders, should lead us by example by taking Sannyasa, getting our of administrative gears, after a few years and save 25-generations of his ancestors. (🦍)", and I can see how it seemed that we were saying now, but that is not our idea at all. It is a more general suggestion, but we do think it is true, but it should occur in mature years, like at 55-years old or 60-years old. Of course, everyone is different.

Again we are waiting for responses of others. We will move ahead as Sannyasis in the glorious ISKCON managament!!

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

AGTSP.... Paoho... It s 5.10PM. Sunsets in about half an hour. It is cloudy but no rain. Seems we will go walking and talking with NgD and Dr. Desai and Vijaya Ji at 6PM!

We had a pretty strict day. We have 13-rounds done. We have not insulted God to often! Our Fanny aches from sitting so long and answering letters. Our eyes are about finished.

To answer the mail (only with the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code from the Lettes to the Editor section in the Kapi Dhvaja) takes a long time just by itself.

We are supposed to send the Viplavah today.

VERY HIGH PRIORITY.

When shall we do it? With what body (eyes and fanny).

OK. Lets start on it.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva.

AgtSP

Pamho.

I am Pandaveya prsni Das, from Spain. (PabloParikrama)

How are You? (I read KD)... HpS - AGTSP. I have been writing letters for a long time. My eyes are failing!

I am fine, continuing and growing in my spiritual life.

The rounds, the sadhana, everything, is perfect.

I find less and less differences between this world and devotional service.

HpS - Paramahamsa.

I just finished reading the first volume of the CC. I read your tweets about the same chapter you were reading, it's funny.

I am also reading “The one hundred thousand poems of Milarepa” and the “Bardo Thodol, the Tibetan book of the dead”. For some reason it helps me a lot in my progress with devotional service. I haven't read them for many years ... many. It is funny to see the beginnings of one in the spiritual life, and as now, one learns millions of other things, with a much more advanced and deep, spiritualized vision, thanks to Japa Nama, and the association with Srila Prabhupada, Gurudeva and Nimai -nitai, Radha-Krsna and everyone.

HpS - We found an entry in the wikipedia for Milarepa and the Songs.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milarepa

Milarepa's one hundred thousand poems is something so similar to pure Japa Nama, that I am impressed. It is as if Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu never ceases to be born in this world to teach pure Japa Nama, regardless of yugas or predictions. Is incredible.

In this video, this Lama, or Nepalese saint, looks like the purity of Nama Kirtan's teaching growing in the land of Nepal, the Himalayas. As if Nimai-Nitai were all forms that exist, out of time or space, and simply always appeared, with many forms.

I know that I am not this body, what about Them, then??? Jajaja…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgFm2I3lnRU&list=WL&index=23&t=0s 

I get excited watching this video. It is as if time, space and everything that could be inside a head or body were nothing, nothing at all. It's like being in Vrndavan when I see it ... maybe it's a karma thing, I don't know, but in my opinion, Nama Kirtan is preaching on behalf of Mr. Caitanya, I can't see the difference. The Buddha of compassion, says he. Beautiful.

I just wanted to share with you this video that fills my heart.

I would also like to tell you that I have helped write a book about yoga and meditation. He preaches sadhana, Japa Nama, devotional service and Radha-Krsna. It's intense and very scientific ... or so I think, of course. It's called, "Meditar – Ser libre”

A big hug, and at your feet Gurudeva. I always remember You.

Varuna is incredibly good. I teach Yoga to him, and he appreciate it very well.

Hare Krsna.

HpS - VERY nice to hear from you. We don't have time right now, but we will look at the link with great enthusiasm!! We must each become guru, teachers, representatives of Srila Prabhupada, to different communties.

Hare Krishna respected Gurudeva.

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!

All glories to Hanumatpresaka Swami !!

We have started the process of indexing SOLARIS in the international sphere of academic and scientific publications. This implies editing two numbers a year (minimum) one in June and another one in December. In addition, the articles are going to be evaluated to guarantee contents of high quality. Our research area revolves around the development of the human spirit cultivation. This indexing allows SOLARIS to be listed in a worldwide query database. This will make the magazine have a higher and higher impact factor.

SOLARIS indexing offers several advantages:

• Much greater world visibility.

• Access to the magazine from various places in the world (in fact, we have started in LATINDEX, which is a regional online information system for magazines in Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal).

• Use by the academic community. To measure the use that the community has given to an article, it is used an indicator called IMPACT FACTOR that relates to the number of citations that the article receives from other uses.

• Stimulates the location of peers, which allows academics from other parts of the world who are investigating the same or similar topics to commit to our projects.

• It is achieved a greater exchange about our research at national and international level, and with this, greater progress and depth is also achieved related to the study and knowledge of human development and spirituality, in general, and to the cultivation of the human spirit, in particular.

HpS - ASA --- Very nice! What is the Calendar for article? When will you have synopsis of the articles? Have you sent a suggestion of differene themes for the magazine?

SOLARIS RUMBO A LA INDEXACION

Hare Krishna respetado Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

¡Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

¡Todas las Glorias a Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

Hemos empezado el proceso de indexar SOLARIS en el circulo internacional de las publicaciones académicas y científicas, esto implica editar dos números al año (es lo mínimo) uno en junio y otro en diciembre, además ahora los artículos van a ser evaluados para avalar contenidos de alta calidad. Nuestra área de investigación gira en torno al desarrollo del cultivo del espíritu humano. Esta indexación permite que SOLARIS este listada en una base de datos de consulta a nivel mundial, esto hará que la revista tenga un mayor y más elevado factor de impacto

La indexación de SOLARIS nos ofrece varias ventajas:

·        Mucha mayor visibilidad mundial.

·     Acceso a la revista desde diversos sitios del mundo (de hecho, hemos empezado en LATINDEX, que es un sistema regional de información en línea para revistas de América Latina, el Caribe, España y Portugal).

·        Uso por parte de la comunidad académica. Para medir el uso que la comunidad le ha dado a un artículo, se suele utilizar un indicador que se relaciona con la cantidad de citas que recibe el artículo por parte de otros usuarios, esto se denomina FACTOR DE IMPACTO,

·        Estimula la localización de los pares, lo cual permite que académicos de otras partes del mundo que estén investigando el mismo tema o temas similares se comprometan con nuestros proyectos.

·     Se consigue un mayor intercambio a nivel nacional e internacional sobre nuestras investigaciones y con ello se logra mayor avance y profundidad en el estudio y conocimiento del desarrollo humano y espiritualidad, en general y del cultivo del espíritu humano, en particular.

Eso es todo por ahora, Hare Krishna querido Gurudeva, su insignificante sirviente, Abhiram Thakur das. 

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dear Gurudeva, some time ago, I approached you to request your permission to divorce my husband.

You told me: "This is Kali Yuga, no marriage is 100% good ... But maybe we can make the best use of a bad bargain (bad ganga)". So, to clarify my understanding ... I would like to ask. Gurudeva Is it better to keep a marriage even when we can have failures?

Long time, before thinking about divorce, I talked with several devotees ... I remember that an older devotee (lady) who is divorced and has remarried and divorced told me: 

"Dont get divorce, because in the future maybe you will look in some one else what you think that was better in your last relation, and maybe you will find someone... But many times the second is worst than the first... It is better to keep trying with your husband, he has virtues and defects... But you have them too, No?

You alredy know each other and if you want you can help each other."

So, what does the best use of a bad bargain (bad ganga)?

On the other hand you told me "Divorce does not exist in the Vedic culture ... There may be separation but there will always be a union ..."

Now that I separate from my husband, I think I know why; it seems to me that one acquires the habits of the other person, hobbies, gestures, tastes, friendships and family, so I think that all of this merges ... So there is such a deep and subtle exchange of essence that it is difficult to completely detach from the other person ... isn't it?

HpS - Yes... People have to understand that getting married is like the rain falling. Once it begins to flow you can't put it back.

I heard in a class that you said that when we finish a marriage, those who follow you are only a continuation of the first ... How does that happen?

HpS - ??? I think the question is too subtle for a good translation? In Spanish??

Now, despite all that, I think there are some marriages that do not take place ... So, my question is under what conditions is a Krishna Conscious Divorce acceptable?

Dear Guru Maharaja, please excuse me for distracting you with these details. Thank you very much for your merciful instruction.

Your servant

Kintsukuroi

HpS - Hare Krsna, Kintukuroi!! Very nice to meet you and talk with you! I didn't "divorce". I took Sannyasa and after six years, which is third class but Dharma in Kali-yuga, my wife got remarried, to a nice person it seems.

It is a very specific situation. It is different for different people. You should talk with us and five more nice devotees. Main thing is increasing connection with Krsna. What will do that. Is the husband dead, taking Sannyasa, having big moral falldown, disappeared with no, news? These are reasons the Vedas give a basis for divorce. Other details. What about these things? Waiting for your answer! Please continue with the KDPC!!! Otherwise we cannot handle our mail!!! Thank you!!!!

Hare Krsna

PAMHO

AGTSP

All glories to you guru dev

I hope you are recovered in your body energy.

HpS - As we advance day by day by day.... Like donkeys ... in Krsna consciousness, it becomes better and better.

We have spoken with Jagad Guru in Chile to coordinate your visit to South America. He has told us that your stay in Chile would be between April 29 and May 12.

HpS - No! See the letter we just posted to him! Suggesting, 15 April to 29th April, but we could arrive our leave a little earlier, if things are happening. https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/10919/

We are organizing your visit with Rati Manjari dd in Buenos Aires, Would be from April 8 to April 29, 30?

HpS - See above.. 😀

Are you coming from Peru on April 8? and returns on May 12, 20 or 25? After your stay in Chile, you return to Argentina and then return to Peru?

For your Visit to Argentina We can organize with Bernardo Nantes a presentation at the Human Vocation Foundation, we also have a exhibition of Indian photography that may interest him to show in their building and accompany the event.

HpS - Yes! Of course, we should start discussing the themes that are important and have indevidual meetings with people and then more public events to inform broader public.

We can also organize in the University of Salvador With Carlos Rua (director of oriental studies) and Bernardo Nantes (dean of the university of philosophy and oriental studies) some presentation or seminars. Carlos Rua has told us that he offers us the University, their classrooms, auiditoriums and advertising from the university. These events can be for students and the general public as well as special guests.

The Indian ambassador to Argentina has expressed her [his] pleasure in meeting him and meeting again. We could organize a meeting.

if you want during your stay we could record the videos of the ASA encyclopedia or any project in which we can help you

thank you Guru Dev

your servant Ambarisa Das

HpS - Yes, very nice. Are the above dates O.K. We have to fix them very soon because time is getting very short! The lets communicate a lot here to have nice discussions. Nice discussion is one that leads to more nice discussions.
