Hare Krsna Maharaj,

Thank you for your response to multiple letters. Hope your body is working fine between the virus pandemic.

HpS - Ha! Ha! Hare! The Virus IS the Pandemic!!

Its again the arrangement Supersoul. The moment we decided to write some thing about Viplavah (node: 10879), all letters were answered.

HpS - We saw it and hope that we keep track of it and will look to publishing it in the next or maybe the Janmastami issue because that is our annual academic focused issue.

Reports:

Wife and kid have shifted to Varanasi. Temple, Home and office are in triangle with each length ranging from 1.6km-3.2km. Chanting going on though little mechanically, but still on. Trying to visit temple for evening Tulsi-Gaur Arti. Morning program is going on. 3.9 rules intact. Kinder Garten level going fine

HpS - Super. Mechanical chanting goes to organic chanting goes to mental chanting goes to ...

Area of improvement: Systematic program for reading.

ASA - Lilamrta daily during breakfast. Parikshit reads a page daily out loud to you...?

need to write Viplavah as instructed in node:10879.

It might be good idea that you can come with Prof Bandyopadyay to BHU, in next trip.

trying to be of utility.

harsh

HpS - Arranged a phone call with Prof. B. day before yesterday with Radhika ramana Das. It has been three weeks since we called. We feel so bad, but we get drowned by all the social conflicts, admnistrative work etc... He has had some internal infection and have intense intervention. We hope that all of his association with Srila Prabhupada will carry him away at the time of changing bodies!

Hare Krishna!

Thanks dear Maharaja to give me the chance to ask to your most beloved and sincere disciples regarding Srimad Bhagavatam studies.

So, is there any plan, chance, to have this studies?

HpS - AGTSP! Paoho. It is a great honor to receive letters from you! We are in Boise, Idaho for two weeks. It was an essential trip or otherwise we are not traveling. 2nd April we go back to Nashville, our Base Camp.

We publish our news each two weeks at the News link in our Web page: www.JayaRama.US. Seen it?

We there we list our regular classes for the following fortnight.

We are struggling to develop the BhVai diplomas. Now we have three centers in the USA, but we need to get a practical integration with Govardhana Eco village program. They are working on an online program and we can co-ordinate that with N/S America.

We will post news in the Kapi Dhvaja about that progress. Beyond that just get a local study partner and report your realizations here!!!!

Here are some study guides that we made that might help:

Hope we can get some work done then, but again, just start your own group and send us some news here, and our online programs are posted in the Kapi Dhvaja!

Thank you!!

Estimado maestro espiritual. Primeramente desearle un feliz Vyasa-Puja. Quiero expresarle mi gratitud por la oportunidad de ser su discípulo y comentarle lo importante que esto ha sido en mi vida. Ya que como comenta Srila Prabhupada:

Aquel que no está iniciado de manera apropiada puede presentarse como si fuera un gran devoto, pero de hecho, sin duda, encontrará muchas dificultades en el progreso hacia la comprensión espiritual, con el resultado de que habrá su plazo de existencia material sin alivio. Una persona así está desamparada y se compara a un barco sin timón, porque, sin timón, un barco no puede llegar a su destino (C. C. Adi Lila, Cap. 1, verso 35).

               Por otra parte muchos quisiéramos prestar servicio directo, continuando con los comentarios de Srila Prabhupada. “Si no le es posible servir directamente al maestro espiritual, el devoto debe servirle recordando sus instrucciones. No hay diferencia entre las instrucciones del maestro espiritual y el maestro espiritual mismo” (C. C. Adi Lila, Cap. 1, verso 35).

               Lo que me interesa a mí es afianzar mi interés por participar en actividades de su proyecto Educación y lo Sagrado para lo cual pido sus bendiciones. Quisiera que este fuera el aspecto central en mi proyecto de servicio para este año, y desde luego seguir sus instrucciones.

               Le deseo buena salud y que conserve esa energía que le permite seguir los pasos de Srila Prabhupada.

Dear spiritual master. First of all wish you a happy Vyasa-Puja. I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to be your disciple and tell you how important this has been in my life. Since as Srila Prabhupada comments:

He who is not initiated properly can present himself as if he were a great devotee, but in fact, no doubt, he will encounter many difficulties in the progress towards spiritual understanding, with the result that there will be his term of material existence without relief. Such a person is helpless and compares to a ship without a rudder, because, without a rudder, a ship cannot reach its destination (C. C. Adi Lila, Chapter 1, verse 35).

On the other hand, many of us would like to provide direct service, continuing with the comments of Srila Prabhupada. “If it is not possible to serve the spiritual master directly, the devotee must serve him by remembering his instructions. There is no difference between the instructions of the spiritual master and the spiritual master himself ”(C. C. Adi Lila, Chapter 1, verse 35).

What interests me is to strengthen my interest in participating in activities of your Education and the Sacred project for which I ask for your blessings. I would like this to be the central aspect in my service project for this year, and of course follow your instructions.

ASA - We are still working on Education and the Sacred, but especially on the magazine, Solaris! Yes, you help would be very valuable!

I wish you good health and keep that energy that allows you to follow in the footsteps of Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - Gracias!!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Querido Gurudeva, no me distingo por escribir bellas cartas para ti. Solo quiero darte las gracias por tantos detalles y actividades que definen tu personalidad.

Gracias por levantarte por la madrugada mientras todos duermen todos los días, gracias por cantar los nombres de Dios todo el tiempo y que con la dulzura de tu voz cualquier persona pecaminosa puede sentir atracción por cantar también los dulces nombres de Krishna. Por responder amorosamente y pacientemente cientos de cartas al mes. Por escuchar nuestras quejas, historias y problemas cotidianos. Por tus viajes constantes y con ello purificas cada lugar que tocan tus divinos pies. Por siempre dar lo mejor de ti aún cuando no te sientes bien, estás cansado o enfermo o por lo que implica tener ya un cuerpo de 71 años.

Gracias por demostrar tanta sencillez, aún que, a simple vista se puede ver lo grandioso que eres.

Cuando estás en casa nunca pides nada especial, siempre dices estar bien y te muestras constantemente agradecido. Lo que comes es simple y sencillo, tu vestir también, lo que requieres para ti es mínimo y te gusta compartir con los demás, que estén bien y felices sirviendo a Krishna.

Gracias por bendecirnos con tu presencia y tu existencia en sí misma.

No me cansaré de repetir que si hay algo bueno en mí, es sin duda gracias a ti.

Tu sirviente Gopi Radha DD. 

ASA - Gracias!!!! Somos productos de la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias a su servicio Guru Deva querido en el día de su vyasa, sólo desear que Sri Radha Krishna lo llenen de bendiciones y el Señor Nrisimha Deva lo proteja siempre, también dar las gracias por su hermosa asociación en esta venida a Chile, fue muy reconfortante y contenedora su presencia aquí, me siento afortunada de tenerlo como maestro, mil gracias gurudeva, mi energía y espíritu a su servicio.

Por otro lado seguimos en el servicio en el restorant junto a Lalita Madhava prabhu, ahora planificando la fiesta de fin de año en el templo, habrá prasadam y música devocional en vivio,por lo mismo han sido días muy agotadores tanto físico como mentalmente pero es lo que me mantiene siempre activa. Sólo ruego al señor mantenerme siempre en servicio.
