All Glories to Guru Parampara,

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

H H HpS Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja’s Padama Charan that when I read Bhagavatam 10.69.24 Translation : " The five maha-yajnas, or great sacrifices, are defined as follows : patno homas catithinam saparya tarpanam balih – “reciting the Vedas, offering oblations into the sacrificial fire, waiting on guests, making offerings to the forefathers, and offering [ a share of one’s food] to living entities in general.”  

           Srila Prabhupada comments as follows on these sacrifices, “In another place Krsna was found performing the panca-yajna sacrifice, which is compulsory for a householder. This yajna is also known as panca-suna”.

           The same is also mentioned in the book Sri Krsna the Supreme Personality of Godhead…. Chapter-69 (Narda’s visits different homes of Lord Krsna

           What is panca-yajna or panca-suna? What are the mantras? In kali yuga also, is it necessary? Please explain elaborately so as to clear my darkness.

HpS - So sorry we could not answer your posts, letters. When traveling it was very hard, We had meetings with many devotees every day, and then when we got back to our Base takes long time to recover and we are nearing our death, leaving this body. It is getting old. We cannot talk or chant so long. Our eyes cannot handle so much computer.

Please read the Kapi Dhavaj each two weeks and then write to us here using the Priority Code in the Title of your letter. Tell us how we can make the KDh better for you!

Those purports, after chapter 14 in tenth canto, are written by Hrdayananda Goswami an Gopi paranadhana Das, two nice devotees.

I don't know the details of those sacrifices, but I see Prabhupada mentioning them and then commenting that in the Kali-yuga they are all accomplished best by Hari-nama Yajna and Prasadam distribution. Sit with devotees and chant, chant, chant... Nice Japa... and distribute Prasadam. Go out for Sankirtana (play the BIG Mrdanga!)

           Guruji, is there new plan for coming India during Goura Purnima at Mayapur and Manipur? I could not communicate with Dr. Sarada Deve Dasi. One day Prabhu Radhacharan Das inform me that Guruji is coming during May, is it confirm?

HpS - No!! We are too old for so much travel. We came December last year and plan is to come in August this year!!!!!

• This letter was written one months before but no reply from Guruji, so I am writing again. Excuse me if any commit mistake from my site. Without Guruji's mercy no disciple could develop any spiritual knowledge. Pardon me thousands time, as an innocent bhakta.

Yours fallan sarvent,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - It is so nice to hear from you. When we hear from you we think of Manipur and even how it smells!!

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Por favor, acepte mis sinceras y humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada. 

Ya ha pasado casi un mes desde que nos despedimos en Madrid. Me gustaría decirle que usted me ha dado la fuerza necesaria para seguir con mi Sadhana en conciencia de Krishna, para cantar 16 buenas rondas todos los días y leer Bhagavad Gita y Srimad Bhāgavatam. Yo lo he aceptado como mi Guru en mi corazón. Si usted me acepta deseo servirle y servir a Srila Prabhupada, en ISKCON, siguiendo Sus instrucciones, como Él nos dijo y enseñó, todos juntos. 

Deseando tomar pronto Su darshan de nuevo, 

Aspirando a servir,

Diego

PD: Adjunto una foto con mi esposa que en la próxima ocasión espero que conozca.

HpS - TlgaSP... Fuimos a la universidad juntos? Many letters left from our travel. Please use the Priority Code in the Kapi Dhvaja!

Hare krsna adorado Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias a sus pies de loto.

¡Todas las glorias a Sri Sri Radha Madhana Vihari!!

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

¡Todas las glorias a Usted y a Sus sabias enseñanzas!

Espero Usted se encuentre bien durante su viaje a Lima. Deseo que pase un hermoso mes de Damodara. Muchas gracias por Su alentadora respuesta. Seguiré haciendo todo lo mejor que puedo y confiaré en que El me purificará completamente. Me acordé del bhajan : Gopinatha Mama nivedana suno... Amado señor de las gopis, como me purificaras? ...

Estoy feliz de saber que Sri Krsna quiere que volvamos a El lo antes posible. ''''''Es mi mayor deseo''''' Siempre le pido lo mismo todos los días, pero sé que aún no lo merezco y le pido que por favor me ayude a merecerlo. Siempre estoy pensando en que quiero dejar el cuerpo pensando en la hermosa forma de Krsna. Me aterra solo pensar en olvidarme de El , el olvido me causa un vacío muy grande y cuando Lo recuerdo otra vez, puedo sonreír.

Estoy comprendiendo que todo es Su voluntad y deseo que se haga en mi vida lo que El desee. Entonces no quiero tener miedo a nada, porque confío en que El me protegerá. 

Una vez, una devota me leyó la mano y me dijo que yo viviría máximo 40, 45 o 50 años,...ahora tengo casi 40... pienso que tal vez por eso mi inconsciente piensa en que puedo dejar el cuerpo en cualquier momento. Entonces deseo avanzar lo más rápido que pueda sin perder el tiempo que El me regala. Por ello estoy aprendiendo a cuidar mi energía. También deseo disculparme por mis ofensas a los que ofendí y prefiero evitar relacionarme si voy a ofender.

Sri krsna hizo arreglos muy increibles para quedarnos aqui por ahora: la señora que nos dejó poner la casa rodante en su terreno, nos quiso vender esa parte donde estábamos. Y no le importo que le pagaramos de a po-qui-to.. Despues, la vecina de al lado tuvo un problema con esta señora, y , como nosotros estabamos en el medio, quiso vendernos tambien parte de su terreno (pequeño bosque de cañas) para que cerquemos y asi no ver a su vecina. :-) tampoco le importó que le paguemos de a poco. Nosotros estamos simplemente sorprendidos de ver todo esto. Ahora tenemos una deuda pendiente pero ya se firmó el lugar con el notario.

Deseo poder viajar para tener Su Darshan, tambien deseamos llevar a gopalito a los templos, asi que será despues de cumplir esta deuda.

Estoy muy agradecida por esta misericordia que krsna nos da para cuidar a su devoto gopalito.

En un momento, cuando franco trabajaba en el cerco de la casa, por unos minutos me sentí como un pajarito al que le ponen dentro de una jaula para cuidarlo....., Pero, como le dije anteriormente, acepto feliz que sri krsna conduzca mi vida y estoy aprendiendo muchas cosas de la vida práctica al estar aqui.

Por favor perdone si cometí alguna ofensa sin darme cuenta en esta carta. Acepte nuestras reverencias a sus amados pies de loto.

Esperando poder complacerlo, cultivando mi devoción:

Report Sridhara month

Hare Krishna adored Gurudeva, please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.

All glories to Sri Sri Radha Madhana Vihari !!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to You and His wise teachings!

I hope you are well during your trip to Lima. I wish you had a beautiful month of Damodara. Thank you very much for your encouraging response. I will continue to do my best and I will trust that He will purify me completely. I remembered the bhajan: Gopinatha

Mama levedana suno ... Dear Lord of the gopis, how will you purify me? ...

I am happy to know that Sri Krsna wants us to return to Him as soon as possible. '' '' '' It is my greatest wish '' '' 'I always ask for the same thing every day, but I know I still don't deserve it and I ask you to please help me deserve it. I am always thinking that I want to leave the body thinking about the beautiful form of Krsna. It frightens me just to think of forgetting Him, forgetting causes me a very big void and when I remember Him again, I can smile.

I am understanding that everything is His will and I wish that what He wishes be done in my life. So I don't want to be afraid of anything, because I trust He will protect me.

Once, a devotee read my hand and told me that I would live a maximum of 40, 45 or 50 years, ... now I am almost 40 ... I think maybe that's why my unconscious thinks that I can leave the body in any moment. So I want to move forward as fast as I can without wasting the time He gives me. That is why I am learning to take care of my energy. I also want to apologize for my offenses that I offended and prefer to avoid relating if I am going to offend.

Sri Krishna made very incredible arrangements to stay here for now: the lady who let us put the motor home on her land, wanted to sell us that part where we were. And he didn't care that we paid him a little bit. Then, the next-door neighbor had a problem with this lady, and, as we were in the middle, she wanted to sell us part of her land (small forest of reeds) so that we fence and thus not see your neighbor. :-) He didn't care that we pay him little by little. We are simply surprised to see all this. Now we have a pending debt but the place is already signed with the notary.

I wish I could travel to have Su Darshan, we also want to take gopalito to the temples, so it will be after fulfilling this debt.

I am very grateful for this mercy that Krishna gives us to take care of his devoted gopalito.

At one time, when Frank worked at the fence of the house, for a few minutes I felt like a little bird that was put inside a cage to take care of it ....., But, as I said before, I accept happily that Sri Krishna I led my life and I am learning many things from practical life by being here.

Please forgive if I committed any offense without noticing this letter. Accept our obeisances to your beloved lotus feet.

Hoping to please him, cultivating my devotion:

Japa prati jalpa Radha dd.

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Antes que nada quisiera pedir una disculpa por no escribir antes.

En una carta previa, usted me dijo:

"Así que tenemos para levantar a las 4am, Brahma-muhurta, para Mangala arati, la canción, Kirtan, luego Japa historias del Srimad Bhagavatam, Sankirtan. Entonces nuestra Japa será entusiasta. De lo contrario nos caeremos. Tal vez hoy, tal vez después de unos años."

Esto con respecto a la mejora de nuestro sadhana. Aún no llegamos a cubrir al 100% de esto. Estamos entre 70-75%. Pero seguimos trabajando y haciendo los arreglos necesarios para llegar lo más pronto al 100% y seguir en el camino de vuelta a Krsna.

Nos mantenemos con 16 rondas y 4 principios diarios.

Hace poco nos invitaron a la Feria Internacional del libro en Panamá. Asistimos junto con Nrsimha Kripa Prabhu del BBT y gracias a la misericordia de Krsna, Prabhupada y suya se distribuyeron 3,200 libros en una semana. El 90% del total de libros que llevábamos.

Acá en México seguimos haciendo estas ferias del libro en conjunto con el BBT. También seguimos haciendo bhakti vrksa.

Estamos ansiosos y muy emocionados de su próxima visita a México en diciembre, y esperamos poder ser un buen instrumento en su sankirtan.

Sin más por el momento, su aspirante a discípulo:

HpS - Esta carta, tlgasp, era meces pasado. Muy bien leer hoy. Lea la Kapi Dhvaja y communica con la Priority Code!!!

You're Devine grace Hanumatpresaka.please accept my humble obeisances.all glories to srila prabhupada.all glories to you.

I was enliven to receive your card,what a great boon.in Kali yuga relationships are unlikely to florish if there not cultivated.

Eternally grateful for your association.youre time is of the essence so I'll get to the point.you know material life.eating, sleeping,mating and defending is easy for me.(exclude mating, it's non existent for me). where as my spiritual life is both sublime,and challenging,even though my Japa is offensive,I get great benfit.

After four or more years of soberity on memorial day of this year,I smoked some pot.i take full responsibility and won't blame association,etc.

My temple in Sammamish wash.has a new policy that if there's a fall down one has to wait two years before reapplying.they are not aware of my case.all other regs are fine.thought of giving up my practice,but srimad bhagavatom is my saving grace.and by the grace of krsna, I'm still inspired.speaking of SB this is how I got your association,thru iskon desire tree.i'm on SB.08-12-6 and looking forward to your lectures.

After reading your card,I opened up my phone for my nightly class and you're lecture automatically started playing.even though I'm not at that section yet,I had to laugh.like I said my life can be sublime.everything rest on krsna.

I'll let you rest from this demon.again eternally grateful.you're insignificant servant.mike jarvis

HpS - This letter was sent months ago. Sorry it took so long! Actually a Temple cannot make this two year standard... We sending a letter out to all the authorities in our Latin American Zone about this. Guru's or Temples have to follow the basic GBC standard for recomendations and initiations. That is sic months for recommendation and one year for initiation.... but be careful!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja

All Glories to Sri Sri Gouranga Nityananda

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All Glories to you

Please accept my humble obeisances to your holy lotus feet.

HpS - ASA -- Wholy Lettuce Feet. AgtSP! Paoho...

Sorry for my delay to write, i have wrote a letter and it´s missing in my computer, cannot find it. 

here we go..

Gurudev, my spiritual life is like a roller coaster, my feelings geeting deeper, but my japa is so difficult, I feel so bad for that, 11 years in Krsna Consciousness and keep having Japa problems, feel so shame.

HpS - We are struggling with our Japa. It is a test directly monitored by Krsna. First service in 16-nice rounds. So, it is difficult, because it is all you need to go back to Krsna. It is the complete test. We should be a little ashamed, but we should be mostly working to correct the situation.

Gurudev I keep fighting with the pain of lost my mom, miss her a lot. Taking care of my father, so far as he leave me, he have 73 but is full of energy, he´s great.

HpS - Connect with your Mom! Serve her!

My marriage going so well. We keep working in our home and many other plans.

HpS - Dandavats 20-times to you. You must have done something very, very great in our last lifetime to have peacefule Ashrama.

The architecture temple project was good recibe for many members of the temple comission. Cannot send here de renders because the idea is not 100% approved. Sorry.

HpS - We wait!

I began to work independent, open my virtual interior design estudio. And little by little it goes ahead, small things big things, sso happy to give the step to work of my passion and vocation. really like to do something to improve the lofe of the persons, my business called PREMA INTERIORS, any goal i reach is because of your blessings and i've not forgot it.

HpS - Make friends more than clients, no?

Next week will reconnect with NIOS and all my delayed issues. 

For finish, I've feel so gratefull for your last visit, thanks Gurudev for use us to do something for Srila Prabhupada. I'm so dumb but you give me intelligence to stay in the path. Thanks for that and for all that's you give. I have an unpayable debt with you.

My humble obeisances to your holy lotus feet. Sorry for my long letter.

your servant.
