Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

AgtSP

Pamho.

I am Pandaveya prsni Das, from Spain (Pablo of the Parikrama)

I know it's been a long time since the last letter, about a year, or maybe something else. I apologize…

In this time, I have had a couple of falls, but I have always sung my rounds, and thanks to Krsna I have never lost sight of the goal.

Thanks to the blessings of Srila Prabhupada, you and other merciful devotees I have had many great accomplishments, and that is why I wish to thank you, especially me, for not having managed to make everything perfect in this time.

Either way, I get up to Brahma muhurta, sing my rounds, and then 4 more in each sandhya. I have come to this in a natural way, I don't try to look anything, but it certainly works. I am very happy with my singing, honestly. The depth of consciousness that is obtained by singing well, I manage to keep it much of the day, even many times continuously, except for very brief moments. I'm very happy. It is as if death had stayed far away. I'm very happy.

My obeisances Guru Maharaja.

I translated the first verse of Brahma Samhita and it took me a long time to feel happy with the translation. I think I'm going to translate everything into Spanish, but it's going to cost. It is very deep and mystical spiritual.

It has been a year and something very moved. I have had to move 4 times for studies and work, and finally I hope in a few months to finish in Valencia, where my son Varuna has moved with his mother, and I hope that I no longer move from there. I love Valencia, I've lived there before, they call it the city of light and flowers, and I think it's true.

I have taken the academic title of emergency medical technician, to work in ambulances ... one more thing.

Varuna seems fine, but the mother doesn't let me see him and I've been judging her for months for that. Everything will be fixed and we will see each other as before. He is 12 years old, he's a boy now. I´m 41 now…jajaja

I read the blog every day, and the Kapi, twitter and youtube hoping to find something.

I am always happy to see you so well.

A big greeting, I think I can say, your faithful follower, Pandaveya prsni das

HARE KRSNA

HpS-ASA -- AGTSP thank you for writing. thank you for the news..... we have worried, trying to get any news of you... do you have any chance to preach, teach? getting any association of srila prabhupada's iskcon.... ? tha k you again. write more oftennnnnnnnnn

We stop chanting because we become accidentally seduced by "other projects" or because we chose to do something else: Accidental fall-down, intentional fall-down.

This world is a shadow of the real world.

We don't have to stay here.

It will go on without us.

Renounce all activities unless they promote Harinama anukirtanam, according to your vow under the lotus feet of Krsna!

~ "I can't chant! It is easier to write", TB

~ HpS - You can chant. If you can breath, you can chant. Maybe only within the core of your heart, hrdaya kandare (CC 1.1.4), but let all else slide. Any act that is not based on, generated from, Harinama anukirtanam is without foundation.

~ "Other devotees may have other basis eg. book distribution", TB?

~ HpS - Yes, we think so, but they are related. How can you distribute books that preach Harinama-anukirtanam unless you engage in the process or are in favor of developing it.

Good bye!

Today we die, to Goloka fly.

Yesterday . . . we talked with Abhirama Das for one hour about Dr. Samaresha B. visit to Peru, Solaris, Vyasapuja in Chosica. We were very exhausted from all this travel. Little recovery.

Our Base Camp . . . . is pretty good. Met with Tandavika and Ng Das yesterday. Cold!!! Dark!!!! Lonely (not bad!). Reviewed the Blog mail. Lot of Vyasa puja offernings!! Several URgent letters. We don't respond to them urgently, only those with the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code.

Some mail in Yahoo. Will try to get to it.

Hare Rama!!!

Hare Krsna! ... :>>> Bath Kirtana. See you in GotoMeeting in 34-minutes!!

Querido Gurumaharaja: 

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias! 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Es muy refrescante leer Su reporte de México, muchas gracias por la tolerancia e infinita misericordia.

En nuestro servicio puede haber más errores que aciertos pero un vaisnava como Usted puede ver cualidades por la naturaleza apreciativa que le caracteriza, como dice, Krsna ajusta nuestros errores.

Leí en alguna traducción del Mahabharata "el amor no es ciego, el amor en un tercer ojo que sólo ve las cualidades del ser amado " 

En nuestras relaciones familiares con el esposo y amigos ¿Se puede ser tuerto o extraterrestre? 

ASA - TlgaSP!!! pfanrh... Pienso que no. Tenemos dos ojos y somos de la tierra. Pero somos extraterrestre en el sentido que somos de Vaikuntha!!

Debe ser más profunda esa reflexión :) En realidad quería compartir con Usted para entender más, me agrada esa frase, soy sentimental. 

1_ Reporte personal ya envié a informe

2_ Reporte del templo: 

Prabhu Yamuna ya está informado de los regalos para la marathon, envía su gratitud, haré unas tarjetas especiales para el arte de Karuna Mayi, gracias a la estimada mataji!!! Gracias Perú :)

Dejar Guru Maharaja

Please accept our humble obeisances 

Hare Krsna Gurudev 

Hoping that you are very good, I'm sorry to send you this urgent letter, but the situation warrants.

For a while now, I have been accused of situations that are missing the truth and that involve other devotees.

I am acussed of many things, but the last one is the most serious. A spiritual brother accuses me that he witnessed an aggression made by me towards you. He did it publicly through Facebook in the context of an accusation for domestic violence made by an ex devotee to her ex-husband. There was not exist any relation between that story and I, but I was accused of hitting you in the stomach. Several devotees gave credit to this accusation, which is generating an atmosphere of aversion and very great confusion. It hurts me to have to take your time in something so pointless, but on the advice of some devotees, I felt it was necessary to at least deny those sayings first than any other.

Hoping for your understanding and always grateful for your infinite patience and mercy. Your servant

Parasurama Avatar das

HpS - AGTSP Really, really, strange. You have not even been verbally or even mentally contrary to me. Really strange.

Parasurama Das never hit HpSwami in the stomach. 😐

Rather he has offered such very nice service that we can only feel indebted to him.

Hare Krsna Dear Guru Maharaj,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

  we know who you are for us...for me. We have boundless respect for you, 

  for Srila Prabhupada, for devotees, for ISKCON, we don't require this 

  justification (https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/10681/). Of course, this

  is good for those who don't understand our Guru parampara.

  i personally feeling sad to see this letter (https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/10681/)

  we have very less time so it will be better to ignore none spiritual questions.

  and focused on spiritual questions and practices. More interested to

know about Krsna and his related things from you. You have huge collections of

confidences / comprehensions about Krsna.

  We not required proving ourselves in-front of those none-spiritual questions.

  and if someone make me small by winning those questions..am fine with that.

  If you really like those none spiritual questions then i have no words.

  May be my comments are too harsh, please pardon me. i just wanted to know

  about Radha-Krsna. Like :

HpS-ASA -- Thank you for your comments. This dialog with this good Panjabi (?) devotee and then Basu gosh Das from Baroda about Guru in ISKCON is a little difficult for us, but on the other hand it may be useful to so many innocent people attacked by crazy ideas. We have to put our ideas out for criticism.

Also, https://vedabase.io/en/library/iso/11/, we have to look at the bad things about material life as well as the good things about spiritual life. If we only look at good things of spiritual life we will become Sahajiyas and if we only look at the bad aspects of material life we will become Mayavadis We are Sahajavadis! We look at both and get attraction and repulsion both to return to Krsna.

  1. How you see Radha-Krsna every day?

ASA - Many, many ways. You also? We "see" Them when we are chanting Japa for Them. We see Them during Mangala arati. Here we see Radha Nila-madhava, in Houston. They are over two meters tall!!

  2. How you used to see Radha-Krsna during arti in your pujari tenure?

ASA - We are still Pujari, but now in Sannyasa ashrama. We bath "our" Deities every day. On the altar in San Francisco, we bathed Radha Gokulananda some times. Their brass bodies are not fully covered so if one is in a male body it is shocking to bath Radha rani and I guess it is the same if one is in a female body to bath, Krsna. so.... we have to be able to make some kind of mental adjustment like I am a Gopi assistant of Mother Yasoda helping her bathe Radharani, for at least some time.

  3. Which reciprocation with Radha-Krsna made you more close to them?

ASA - In general, Blog ambience, we just see Them and chant for Their satisfaction and feel Their presence in in Their murti form.

  4. Which form of Radha-Krsna you like the most?

ASA - Like many. Probably a material taste in many ways. Of course, our first Darshana was Radha Gokulananda in San Francisco, so They are very intense. In general, almost any Temple we go to we become attached to Radha-Krsna in that form and then feel separation when we leave.

  5. Which season and time makes you more closer to Radha-Krsna's passtime ?

ASA - None in particular. You??

  6. Which Krsna you like the most - Vrndavan Krsna, Dwarika Krsna, Goloka Krsna ?

ASA - Same as 4, no???

  7. How you see the offerings before and after?

ASA - For vision usually the same, but intellectually with more respects, but one time I saw how Srila Prabhupada was beyond the modes of nature when I was wondering how Prasadam is transcendental.

  8. Which reciprocation makes you think about Krsna?

ASA - Many, many.

  9. How you see the full moon in the night?

ASA - As very big. Inspiring. Do you think we might be Were-wolves????

  10. What comes in your mind when you see full moon?

ASA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9fWjzYiRUE A song about Radha and Krsna.

  Ignore me if my questions are annoyed. 

  You are always as per NOI.

your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, pamho agtsp! I had a great time being close to you again, I could grasp certain ideas about Srila Prabhupada and Guru Tattva, I will soar my devotional service with your shakti. I will keep helping the aspirant devotees and the devotees that are younger than me. It was a great pleasure to see you!

I look forward to seeing you soon again.

your vary many fallen servant,

Jagat Bandhu Jagannatha Swami dasa

HpS - Thank you. AGTSP.... paoho... We are really, really, just struggling to get 16-nice rounds done daily and not trying to be anything different than what we are in the Param-para. You seem to have done something very good with your life so far! Helped others also. It is very enlivening to get your association.
