Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, Jaya Srila Prabhupada and the Guru Varga!

I'm very sorry for my incompetence and lack of respect and sanity.

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP! I say that to Krsna and Srila Prabhupada repeatedly every day!

My mind and maya had been winning the fight for so long, yet somehow this mercy has descended upon me and I once again am feeling the presence of bhakti in my life and a desire to become a serious Devotee. This great wave of love and emotion has been repeatedly sweeping over me, sometimes while chanting japa and sometimes just randomly while thinking about different things (such as Srila Prabhupada, Iskcon, you, Radharani, Balarama) I begin crying so hard and choking up, it feels like a great release and purifying.

HpS - Hmmm. Suspicious. No, intellectual clarity also?

None of my plans seem to work because I am so dysfunctional, I'm not sure where my life went way off course but depression and confusion have taken their toll.

I am working some, currently, and saving up, I have about $5,000 and considering to just move to India or something.

HpS - Haw! Haw! Haw! India is as great a mess as the West in many ways!!!! This is Kali-yuga, no? No "Place" is decent, only the process, no? Hare Krona, Hare Krsna!

I just worked 75 hours this week and very exhausted and unsure about life and this world, but I admire you and wish to somehow be of service to you and your projects. Would I ever be able to stop by Murfreesboro again to visit you?

HpS - Of course! We are almost living under a tree so how can we be particular who else sits under the tree.

I understand if it is not appropriate though. I will try to utilize this blog to keep in touch better, and also I will try to make use of the morning program you broadcast online. I'm so sorry that I don't amount to much. There is some positive news and sankirtana to report. Still over the internet young people contact me and they look up to me, I send them to temples and be their friends, gradually helping them however I can until they get more of a taste and attraction to Bhakti.

HpS - Vartmana pradarshika guru. Nice work if you can get it! You are doing o.k.

Also these famous internet people still keep in touch with me and let me influence them and their message. I can see great things coming. This one youtuber guy has half a million subscribers and he was distributing Krishna pamphlets in packages to fans, from this several new people have joined ashrams.

I wish I had better things to report. Thank you for tolerating me and being a guide in my journey.

Hare Krishna

-Bhakta Daniel

HpS - Maybe you should aspire to become Dhananjaya Das rather than Daniel??? Servant of Arjuna!!! Wars are not won by guys who kill 'em all with the first bullet. Wars are won by half competent, wounded, soldiers who don't stop shooting, throwing rocks, until their last resource is finished. Keep on throwing rocks. When the chance comes do as much as you can. When Raja and Tama guns hit try to do as little as possible!

Use the Priority Code in the Kapi Dhvaja in the Subject field.

Our dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our most humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!

Hare krishna Guru Maharaj, Dandabat Pranam unto your sweet lotus feet!

HpS - AGTSP!!!! Our feet are not lotus, yet.

Guru Maharaja we (all Assam devotees, India) are extremely sorry that we cannot communicate and send you any Sadhana report or annual report in time. Please kindly forgive us for that.

Guru Maharaj, we are very fortunate that we get you as our diksha guru and H.H Bhakti Ananda Haridasa Goswami Maharaja (HHBAHG) as our Siksha guru. In your absence, He (HHBAHG) Maharaj guides us as our spiritual father.We get the opportunity to associate with him at least one or two months in a year. We had Srimad Bhagavatam & Chaitanya Charitamrita discourse in the morning session and Bhagavad Gita discourse in the evening during His presence. Under His guidance,we some devotees started to practice Bhakti Shastri Course by studying the Nectar of Instruction and Sri Isopanisad but cannot complete as there is limited time for Maharaj.

HpS - You can read together and discuss. That is very good. Then send comments to the this Blog.

We are getting more letters than we can handle, and many times the questions and comments that people make show that they are not reading the Kapi Dhvaja. So, we put a Priority Code in each copy of the KD and then read and answer first those letters that have this Code in the Subject field.

If we read Srila Prabhupada's books together all good fortune will follow in quantities we cannot imagine. Bhakti Hari Das Swami, Ki Jai!

This is your mercy that we successfully celebrated the very auspicious Vyasa puja of Guru maharaj with the assemble of around 60 devotees... The Mahaprasadam was also very nice..

Guru maharaj, we pray and seek your kind and favourable mercy so that we can advance in our spiritual life and can strictly follow your instructions..

Thanking you,

Dandabat Pranam unto your lotus feet Guru maharaj🙏

Your's insignificant servant

(on behalf of all Assam devotees, India)

HpS - Thank you!! More news with the KD Priority Code!!!!! Assam is an essential factor in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan.

Here is the current suggested Calendar.

Arrive Thursday, lunch and chat. BSU 6-9PM "Meditation, India and Jung"; SB class Friday morning, Home program for lunch and Temple Class at night; Saturday morning SB Temple with Diksa for Nathan; Srinivasa Das TLC group at 1PM; Evening Program light, maybe with Jyada-nrsmha Das and group. Sunday early to Seattle. See any problems or miss anything? Of course, we can meet with everyone here and there.

These visits are short because we are going to be leaving our body soon and hoping devoees will follow us more and we go to them less.

AGTSP paoho/bw.

We had a hypothesis based upon our reading of the Maha-bharata. that Vaikuntha (Goloka) is understood by some to be a part of Svarga. They look up to Svarga, heaven, and see Vaikuntha as another heavenly realm. Christian friends have that same conception of heaven and Jesus loka.

Then NgD showed us this intesting citation from SB 10.6.37-38

"...Pūtanā was immediately promoted to Vaikuṇṭhaloka, which is also sometimes described as Svarga. The Svarga mentioned in this verse is not the material heavenly planet, but the transcendental world..."

From intuition, speculation, remembrance, we may have a hypothesis, then we read with intention.
