Letters to the editor

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!! All Glories to HH Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj!! Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet Lotus feet.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

My apologies for the delay in sending the list of devotees who got initiated last year...we miss your association so much dear Guru Maharaj. My apologies again....for the photos which somehow did not reach you...sending again.

Father and I continue with the BG in the evenings. We laugh a lot while reading the 14th chapter....bringing out the devil in each other!! Thank you for the wonderful mercy..thank you so much Guru Maharaj.

Guru Maharaj....don't know why ...but I like to sing Hanuman Chalisa... ! All glories to Anjani-nandana!! Is it forbidden ...being in ISKCON? Or should I continue?

HpS - I've never heard it being forbidden. I think it is 'forbidden' to chant it in ISKCON Temple pubic program or preach it to others, but??? I heard Prabhupada in one Ramanyana, Tulsi Das (?) symposium say that Rama carit manas is not exactly Ramayana. It is poet's poem about Ramanyana. It think (not sure) that P'pada's opinion was that Tulsi Das was nice person, devotee, but maybe influenced a little by passion and so let a little vanity slip into his poem, maybe adding pastimes not in the Ramayana.

Read it, write a commentary on it from perspective of Srila Prabhupada's books. We can see to publishing it!!

Still continuing with NOD . Getting some time off from material duty nowadays . Virus is benevolent. Last week ,finished a book by Dr Brian Weiss ..amazing work on Past life regression...

HpS - Have you heard of his work with "future life progression". Also interesting. We can use different subjis for Krsna, why not different philosophers?

Today planning to read The Journey within by HH Radhanath swami.

We hope and pray that we keep coming to you dear Guru Maharaj..

Your insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

Thank you!!!! We have to rest our eyes now. We will go blind faster than we are! Respects to your esteemed father! Does he have name!!?!! Did he fight tigers with the King when he was a young man??

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; all glories to his divine grace, Srila Prabhupada, our founder acharya.

In the interest of brevity and out of anxiety I am wanting to keep this very, very quick. It appears that Krishna has coerced me to open my mouth and offer my services as ... (Censored by Buck Wite) . I am nervous as all heck,

ASA - Heck from "hecate", name for the Devil.

(it is a secret mission that maybe involves crossing the Arizona desert)

If it looks like my offer will be approved and accepted by the community and its leaders, I am seeking your permission and blessings to assume responsibility for this service. Otherwise I will be too confused about whether or not this is Krishna's arrangement. Personally, I would love the opportunity to (complete this project and journey), as it would give me a sense of devotional revival and purpose in my life. It will probably be after Janmastami before things are finalized and made official, but I thought it best to seek your blessings now in advance, so that I can proceed in confidence, in the event that my hopes are realized.

ASA - Well if they give you a 20 mule team Borax wagon and lots of water, then it seems practical. As my old Grand Pappy used to say, if its important put it in short, plain Engish, what everybody expects out of the situation. Get everyone to sign it. Only agree to things for a fixed time eg. six months and then review it after that. Good luck. It seems like a nice service but you'll be away from home for few months!

All glories to Radha Syamasundar

AGTSP

dandavats at your lotus feet

HpS - Lettuce Feet. AgtSP!!! Thank you for writing to us. We get lonely sometimes here in the prison. 

I wanted to thank you for your association in the FMP, it is very valuable for me, the quarantine has done a lot of introspective work, a lot of struggle with the mind, anyhow a great fall is followed by great happiness ,Shakespeare said it.

At the moment we are attached to the Sadhana and my dear Gopal, I am living in Brazil but I got stuck in Chile because I came to do a healing course, unfortunately i couldn't continue along the course because of the pandemic... ...lock up your body and open up our heart, I could not relax, but I started to take a Vedic healing training with Guru Govinda dd (tilak’s mother).

 HpS - Hey!!! Cross species marriages!! ??

At the moment I continue translating the books of H.H. bhakti ballabh tirtha maharaj, and I am starting a service for a vaisnavi comunity. it is called Project subhadra.

from time to time we do vrindavan parikram online there is a devotee who broadcasted it via you tube so it brings back nice memories to chant japa....maybe someday my bhajan will be better and become sincere.

I wanted to ask you if my name is Radha Carana dasi or Radha carana devi dasi I know this question it’s bit silly, but sometimes you call me both ways I think it is just dasi but I wanted to be sure.

HpS - Wow! Sure??? I guess that only comes when we see Krsna face to face through the transparent via-media of the Parampara. I would say that it is Radha-carana Dasi, because Her feet I don't think are Devis.  

Someone who aspires to have love for Kirshna someday !!!

Prema bhikhari

Pd: some potos of my favorite place in Vraja (Radha Tilah) parrots come to take Radharani’s darsan at 4pm….

HpS - Hmmm! Very lucky fellows!!! Wish we had it so luck!!!! Tanslate translate. Send a little extract here!! Thank you again. 16-nice rounds under the authority of Srila Prabhupada! Thank you!!

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my sincere obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I hope this reaches you in good health...

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP! paoho. "good health" is possible only for the dead. I hope this letter reaches you dead!!

I am writing to you this time about a marriage possibility, I apologize if the letter is extended, it is an important issue.

ASA - ... and we apologize if we must only deal with some of it, because we have many other Monkeys to deal with! Also, is it important to everyone, Monkeys reading, Donald Trump????😎

I was waiting for the astrological results to write to you with stronger certainty.

I am meeting a devoted disciple of Bhakti Prabhupada Vrata Damodara Maharaja, he lives in Miami, his name is Jayasacinandana Das, and I live in Chile. We have a serious commitment in long distance, we have never seen ourselves in person but we feel we have a lot of affinity for a Krishna conscious marriage. We made the astrological compatibility obtaining good results, I comment below:

The astrologers Abhaya Mudra Dasi & Patita Pavan das Adhikary conclude that according to the compatibility score, we have 23 Points. Taking into account that the minimum score for marriage is 18 points and the maximum 33, that is, our compatibility is very favorable for our service (23). In addition, they add the following comment “

ASA - Patita-pavana Das is my old, old friend from Berkeley Temple, in California. He has been divorced. Ironic, no, and making charts for other's marriage success? I don't discount his advice, but I do put it in perspective of what we have heard Srila Prabhupda said about astrology in the Kali yuga!!

This general compatibility is enough to get married and create a Krishna conscious future together… You will also be able to focus on spirituality and this Krishna consciousness will be your main focus. ”

We have the blessings of Damodara Maharaja and we want to do everything the right way.

My comments about it:

I am clear about my goals in marriage, I would only get married if this helps my spiritual development and that of my partner. Having that goal as the center (Krishna and Radha) then, my willingness to marry is favorable. However, I do not want to get married in a hurry, I want to know him very well beforehand, since we must know if we will be good companions in life, really test it. I don't want to marry out of just love or blindly.

 I am 29 years old and I have waited so long precisely because I evaluate my personal and spiritual development a lot, as a housemate and I also evaluate very well the applicant to be my partner. We are in love, delighted, but that is not a basis for a good marriage. We must learn to be companions and that occurs with time and experiences. 

We have a commitment, we need to bring it to the third dimension hahaha meet us in person and share more, until now we only speak virtually.

The plan is for Jayasacinandana to come to Chile in mid-Septembersobwe can really get to know one another.

I look forward to your comments Maharaja and apologize throughout this letter.

Your would-be servant

Stefani S. (Petti Michelena)

HpS - Was not too long! Very intelligent. Well written.

Maybe five points of interest! 1- is that it should not be the marriage of two people. It should be the marriage of two families. Get to know his friends, family, spritual and biological, and let him know yours.

2- Take first initation before getting married.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Please accept our humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I just sent the selection of open book and short answer questions to both Yahoo accounts. I hope my choice is correct. Please continue to consider me for this service in the future.

Your servant, Gandharva das

HPS - ... and we opened them (I think it is the same files) and read through them and made some commentarys in the class on Saturday and sent you the link and....

😁

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

• The Isopanisad and the importance of reading Srila Prabhupada's books class for Sunday August 9 at 8 am is confirmed. I have lost my previous cell phone so I do not have your WhatsApp number. I don't know if you can share your phone number with me via email to coordinate the connection.
• On the other hand, it would be possible if you share with me the closed book questions that you developed for Canto 1? we are working on the Pada Padma program and they would be very helpful.

Hoping that you are very well

Your servant

Gandharva das

"There are two kinds of problems: Those that can't be solved, and those that solve themselves". Winston Churchill.
