Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, pamho

The last 2 days I had fever, I do not have voice but I feel a lot much better. I want to deal with two issues in these letter.

First:

I received early in the morning a letter from a godsister who says that she needs to talk with me because she was feeling really bad. Her life was not as she expected and then I thought who gets the life that wants? hahaha. This is not our place and we suffer because we drift apart from the original source. KRSNA. I haven't talked to her yet, but I do not what to said to her. What to say to a person who has lost faith in Krsna? she signs with her karmi name, and addresses me with Hola so I can infere that she does not want to listen about Krsna, but he is within everything. What can I help her?

ASA - Answered this whole letter and then it got lost!! She must be remembering Krsna if she is approaching devotees. She also wrote to us. Yes, in the Peter Brook Mahabharata, at youtube. part two, bhima kills duhsana, his cousin, then he and draupadi, cover dusasana's face and bhima does a little death dance and then says into the camera, "we were not born to be happy.". Listen with your heart. Every situation is basically in SB. You can give good association. She is an individual and will move forward in her individual way, like all of us, with KRSNA, but we can help!!!

Second:

There is undoubtedly an increasing trend towards leaving ISKCON or at least its standards. In the past I did not understand that but many many devotees are becoming disappointed due to some behaviours of some authorities.

One temple president who does not like me even if I was programmed to do the abhisek in Nityananda Trayodasi asked another devotee to do so. When I received the news I just laughed hahaha. Well if you can not handle that I am straightforward so sorry. And the problem originated when another devotee told him that I do not trust him anyway I do not want to bother you with these issues. But I reacted completely calm, if Nityananda does not want me to do His abhishek is for some reason. On the other hand I have gorgeous deities at home. So I will do the abhishek at home for Them. I guess that had grown up.

ASA- "Don't be surprised who goes, be surprised who stays!".... Draupadi got drug into the public assembly in a terrible situation. NOBODY was going to help her but...… live your live with depth. Dance a new step with Krsna! Radha-krsna! She will teach you. Will you be the Draupadi in your next life?????

Thanks Gurudeva for your support and for your letter about Hermanos Espirituales Mayores.

I guess that we focus on nonesense more than service that is why we do not advance.

Trying to be your disciple

Candramukhi dd

Hare Krishna, dear gurudev. Pamho, AGTSP!

I didn't write before because I had to address some situations to give you good news.

ASA - The Godfather always wanted to hear bad news immediately.

In my last letters I have been very negative and prone to destructive criticism. I have tried to meditate on the situations I'm facing and I noticed that I only saw the negative. Perhaps frustration, envy, conceit, false ego was what led me in my analysis.

ASA - Wow! Very rare people can see their faults (if there are any).

I could see more clearly, for your inspiration, that the administrators face many problems and I have to be more understanding with them while pointing out what needs to be improved. In my specific case I'm talking about the authorities in the educational field.

So, I faced the situation and talked to my authorities. The results were very good. We agreed on some common points and communication began to flow.

ASA - HpS has had the same experience at several times. I was grumbling about the faults of different people in the Ministry of Education to our Minster, Sesa Das, and he said, "They are people, Maharaja!". I said, "Hmmfff. Ooooo!" and realized that I had forgotten. That everything changed. I was a normal human being again!

Now as a collaborator in the educational area I have several tasks:

BHAKTI SASTRI

1. We set some details for Bhakti sastri exam in March with the groups that needed to be examined with M. Candra mukhi as an examiner.

2. I was authorized to give a one-year BS, from March to December, and then retire.

DISCIPLES COURSE

1. I will give one in person for those who want to co-facilitate and prepare to lead the course.

2. I will give an online DC to some devotees who are asking me. Maybe I will go to retirement too.

PADA PADMA ON LINE

1. We will start a course in March where new students can participate and as a review for those who were left behind and allow them to take Canto 1 and 2 examination with a little preparation. Two semesters as before. It concludes in December.

2. A situation to be resolved is the BVB examining center, so for now we call it the Pada Padma course.

3. I think I can start doing serious work in Pada padma with the idea of ​​accessing the exams of the Bhakti Vaibhava itself in the future.

4. Something to discuss in more detail is the development of the course itself. You have proposed to follow some study guides. Particularly I feel inclined to the tava pace pace. In any case, could a mixture be made? The issue of standardization concern me. Seeing that topic I think there has to be more freedom and consider each particular center. It is how the Ministry of State Education gives general guidelines and each educational institution puts its own mood, etc. So, I think we have to find a balance.

HpS - Oooo! The BOEX is working on that. I am pushing to get a good, simple, global examination going and don't worry about the details of the centers. Just see how their students pass the tests.

PADA PADMA IN THE TEMPLE

1. Inspired by what you do in other places and with the idea of ​​integrating more educational programs the temple I proposed a Pada padma in the temple. Of course, it will have a local certification and less requirements than the Pada padma on-line. It would be on Saturday mornings before our Bhagavatam class.

HpS - Great. Thirty chapters, 52-weeks. Nice breaks. For alumnos libres, ASA registered, BOEX BhVai candidates. Three levels?

2. Simple study guides, taken from tpp, would be used. And the requirements would be minimal such as regular attendance, and some simple essay and exam.

HpS - Level one and two?

Finally, from my conversations with Karuna Krishna and Gandharva Prabhus, an aspect emerged that I had not contemplated. Prabhu Karuna asked me about my relationship with Raman reti dd and told him that everything was going well. Then I realized talking with Gandharva that P. Karuna as an authority and a senior devotee was making sure that my VAD was fine. This would give me more credibility and moral transparency , so to speak.

ASA - Yes, we love you! Romeo and Juliet! Anthony and Cleopatra??? Tarzan and Jane!!!! (Ken and Barbie???) Devahuti and Kardama... ???

Later we can talk about more details, now that the environment is favorable.

Thank you very much for your understanding and support.

Your servant,

Laksmana-agra

HpS - So nice to hear from you!!! So, nice! We are working on the PdP question bank. We will circulate with you.

Pamho agtsp

Todas las glorias al movimiento de sankirtan de srila prabhupada

Todas las glorias a usted guru maharaja

Bhadrasena das reportandose . Actualmente en buenos aires. Distribuyendo libros y participando de los programas

Espero se encuentre en buena salud

HpS - Lea la Biblia (y la Kapi Dhvaja). Puede utilizar, translate.google.com. Sankirtan! Sankirtan! Sankirtan!!

AgtSP!!!! paoho...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1DGN1_ETAQ. This then leads to other videos? Can we see Krsna in them? Hare Krsna!

We use gotomeeting.com. It is owned by Logmein, which is being bought by Elliot Management Corp. Their Founder is very interesting, and they take you into the area of global hedge funds etc. He is described as a vulture fund, buying up dying companies, and then, apparently honestly, scavenging the corpses or even reviving them. Does that mean that Gotomeeting is about to die?

World economy appears to be terrible. The USA seems to be a fake. We can all drive new cars, watch movies and eat chocolate ice cream etc, because we are borrowing money , but now it is due and we can't repay, so the banks may come and take away all of our toys and make us work like slaves.

= = = = =

We realize that cooking for Radha-Krsna, Lord Nrsmhadeva, is a fine art - "What do They need? What do they want?"

Then honoring Prasad, another art.

Our business is Sankirtan, constant chanting for the Holy Names, fame, pastimes of Krsna and dancing. Fingers dancing on the keyboard, and then when we are tired, take Prasad,it's ready!!

= = = = =

5.50PM - Let's look at the Letters to the Editor.

Responding to two letters and now it 6.11PM. We have to pack up and go to NGD ashrama for our evening walk. Vijaya Narain will join us. It is drizzling, so we need umbrellas.

Thank you. Haril bolo!

May Tweet some more today.

TB/BW et al.

Hare Krsna querido Guru Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias.🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las Glorias a Usted!

Muchas, muchas gracias por brindarnos, de tantas maneras, su misericordiosa asociación constante. Deseo su cuerpo este recuperándose cada vez más. 🙇‍♀️

HpS - ASA -- TlgaSP!! Pfanrh... Claro nuestra cuerpo ya esta disminuendo. Podemos ver. Tenemos trabajar en esta mundo mas con nuestra mente y ya mas con nuestra intellgencia, y entonces, nueovo cuerpo!

Yo estoy tratando de ajustarme a mi realidad. Lo que va del año no he podido asistir al templo, pero parece estamos equilibrandonos lentamente y espero que pronto pueda retomar algún servicio práctico en el templo.

HpS - Ir al templo y sonrir a Krsna y los deidades es buen ofrenda!

Por ahora, como soldado herido, nos escondemos en la trinchera... nos aferramos a Mangala Aratika, 16 Rondas, 4 principios, libros, clases online... adoramos a los dueños del hogar - Sus Señorias- (nos mantienen bastante ocupados, son nuestros Amos, nuestro refugio y nuestros compañeros). Así que el resto del tiempo trabajo ... ¡No tenemos tiempo que perder! 😅

Además de lo anterior quisiera comentarle 3 asuntos:

1- Quisiera preguntar si es posible que tengamos una copia, al menos, del "Diary of a Traveling Creature" de piggy y monkey 🐖 🐒¡Por favor!

HpS - Si, envia su dirrecion aqui de internet y de postal papel. No publica su dirrecion pero M/P puede enviar el DTC recien!

2- Hemos leído la historia de Tarzan's God... Desde que la publicó aquí, es muy interesante, creo que en ocasiones me identifique con Tarzan😅.

HpS - Podemos ver como esta pensando mucho gente en el mundo. Son mas o menos pantheistas, no? Pero eso es capitulo 10-11 del BG, y SB 2.1. Podemos entender ellos y communicar estas ideas y cuentas a ellos. Ser gran amigos.

3- Gurudeva. Yo solía consultar frecuentemente los archivos del Kapi Dhvaja, que estaban en el grupo de yahoo... Pero veo que ¡el grupo de Yahoo ya no existe más! Quisiera preguntale si ¿hay otro sitio dónde podamos ver los antiguos Kaphi Dhvaja?.

HpS - Ha. Ha. Ha!!! No se, Yahoo groups ha cambiado. Pero es un hecho que cada Kapi Dhvaja incluya todo Kapi Dhvaja pasado y futuro. Nadie puede tomar todo que el maestro espiritual, un Brahmana, es ofreciendo. Solament amor es completa, no conocimento..

Muchas gracias por todo querido Gurudeva. Especialmente, gracias por salvarme. (Por favor discúlpe la carta tan larga.)

Su aspirante a sirviente

Karuna-sakti DD 

ASA - 😀

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj HH Hanumat Presaka Swami! Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

I write this letter with a lot of pain...regret ...and shame...thought about a lot before writing

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP Paoho.... Can't be much worse than the things we have done and are doing!!

...but not asking for Your advice and help would kill the life out of me. We were attending SB class this morning....3.15.18 ....the mood was so good . HG Banamali Das was giving this beautiful class....at one moment we felt we were at Vaikuntha....then this ugly spat happened ..a senior Bhramachari started arguing with Banamali Prabhu..to the point of offending him...we endured for a while ...silently....I was literally weeping inside....this morning programme was the only little Guru seva that I could afford...and here I am...being subjected to this kind of environment. Some senior congregational devotees requested Prabhuji to continue the class...still this Bhrahmachari kept disturbing Prabhu....more shoutings....more arguments....I could not tolerate anymore....paid my obeisances and got up....said...I did not come to ISKCON to hear this bul####. Guru Maharaj....what must I do when such incidents happen again? I am really disturbed.

HpS - Oh! So sad.... A Madhyama adhkari loves God, avoids the demons, makes friendship with the devotees and preaches to the innocent. An Uttama adhikari sees how everything is related to Krsna, and is proper. Narada Muni encouraged Kamsa to kill Devaki's babies!

So, as Madhyama-adhikaris, we see the devotee and demon are in the same body amongst other Madhyama Adhikaris. So we have to learn the art of avoiding the demon in our classmates and making friendship with the devotee in our classmates.

Some body may have a very intense anger toward black people. Irrational. They may not even be conscious of it. So we have to avoid that unless we can help them by preaching.

In Vrndavana, ISKCON, only Krsna and Balarama kill demons, no?

Everybody else calls, "Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!" when the demons appear, so you should have done that! If Krsna wants to you to use sharp weapons or sharp words He will empower you. He will grab you and you will not be in control. I have seen it happen to me on several occasions. Then the demons, the innocent and devotees being attacked, they ALL feel happy afterwards. The demon thinks, "She said the right thing. I needed that", or "I don't agree with what she said, but it was right for her to say it".

O.K?

Chant Hare Krsna, talk with senior devotees, if your should make and apology do it.

We are exactly 3 years new today...... joining Srila Prabhupada's mission ...with Your mercy Guru Maharaj. Since last week we are washing Srila Prabhupada's dresses daily with Mataji Niscintya Nitai DD and Mataji Nandimukhi DD. HG Ramanuja Das Prabhu and HG Jaibhima Prabhu Das have been a great inspiration for us. Thank you Guru Maharaj for giving this sweet service..the moment we touched Srila Prabhupada's dress..our heart melted...so soft ..and so full of love...thank you dear Guru Maharaj for giving us this priceless mercy of serving Srila Prabhupada

Once Guru Maharaj asked whether saving milk for Krishna is better ...or feeding Krishna....and that time Guru Maharaj wrote...with time Srila Prabhupada will reveal ....today with conviction it is clear that feeding Krishna is more important! Thank you Guru Maharaj...All glories to Srila Prabhupada....All glories to Guru Maharaj HH Hanumat Presaka Swami!!

Tomorrow is Republic Day of India.....we are going to Toubul to offer some Vaishnava seva....kindly help us to serve the vaishnavas better..

Your unworthy servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD
