Letters to the editor

O spiritual master! You are nondifferent from Lord! you are giver of divine wisdom to the conditioned souls like me. Kindly accept my repeated Obeisenses to your divine lotus feet. All glories to you. A glories to Srila Prabhu pada. Maharaja please make me ennable to assist you in the service of the Lord.

HpS - AGTSP paoho Thank you for your letter. I hope you are reading the DTCs and the Kapi Dhvaja. Then you can understand that while traveling it has been IMPOSSIBLE to answer all of the very wonderful letters that we get. We see maybe 100 people in a day while traveling. Here in our base camp we finally have some time to answer mail. We are a very selfish person. If we have any good qualities it is because Srila Prabhupada has taken a spark of devotion and used it. AGTSP!

I am very very happy to receive a response from you. Maharaja we are going on Bhagavatam class every morning lecture by Banamali Prabhu and Ramanuja Prabhu and also performing kritan every Sunday. We have also done basic Arcana procedures under the guidance of Ramanuja Prabhu. I am seeing Kapi Dhvaja as you instructed . I am 10km far from the Temple.

Hare Krishna

Your unworthy & unqualified servent

Nandi mukhi Devi dasi

HpS - More news. Send a letter so we can answer it before we start traveling again. How do you occupy yourself during your days? Who are your associates? Do you tell them about Krsna even indirectly eg. the taste in water, the light of the sun.

Capitulo 2: Después de la lluvia

Hk pamho querido Gurudeva creo que en la anterior carta el robot corto texto y no vi respuesta de Ud. después de perder el vuelo intente dos veces más viajar entre llantos y ruegos, la tercera fue la vencida me costó la bolsa de viaje, aun así tuvimos que correr de un lado a otro buscando datos. Aunque esto es una prueba de Krsna saque dos conclusiones prácticas, a veces cuando uno no tiene experiencia en vuelos es mejor ir a la oficina de la empresa de vuelos antes y presentar toda la documentación para tener el visto bueno, lo que piden en el aeropuerto es el número de ticket y este llega generalmente al correo después de comprar por internet. Y siempre es bueno ser uno de los primeros así si hay un imprevisto uno puede solucionarlo a tiempo, en fin hay un sin fin de medidas preventivas.

Me quedé algo asustada pero eso fue pasando una vez que llegué al dham, me encontré con otras viajeras solitarias y diversos personajes de aeropuertos, casi viajo con un devoto de Brasil, pero como la segunda intentada no hubo cupo no fue posible, me pegué a latinos para facilitar la comunicación, pero en Munbai no había latinos a pesar de tener muchas horas de espera no salí del aeropuerto, el sueño pudo más.

Después de 11 días de viaje en bus y en avión, de Lima a Brasil, de Brasil a India dos días de pesadilla, llegué a Mayapur y felizmente me esperaban mis amigas Gaura, Sarvani, lo cual era una bendición. Llore de emoción ante el Panca Tattva. Mayapur es como un lugar de cuentos de hadas, me sentí como una espectadora, pudimos hacer oblaciones a los difuntos, a las mamás de madres Candra Mukhi y Manasi Ganga.

El baño del río me dio mucha felicidad, me despedí demayapur saltando como una loca ante Sri Nrsimha, pronto regreso ese es mi consuelo y la aventura ahora es Vrndavan, al fin camino al lugar más puro del mundo, Jay Gurudeva. Sabemos que muchos devotos y amigos se preocuparon por nosotros oraron por mi bienestar, les estamos completamente agradecidos, sabemos que gracias a ellos pero sobre todo gracias a Sus bendiciones, estamos muy felices aunque con poco laksmi, se aceptan donaciones, Jijijiji.

Su hija que lo adora:

Yugala Kishora Dasi

Del anterior reporte esto faltó....

El día de mi partida camino al aeropuerto me sentí muy agradecida pues las personas me ayudaban con las maletas, el croquis de los devotos, era muy bueno no había forma de perderse, Radha me mando una excelente lonchera, en metro llegué al imponente aeropuerto Guarulios de Chile, felizmente un bus nos dejaban en el terminal correspondiente, a pesar de salir con anticipación había mucha cola, cuando tocó mi turno casi al final el counter me explicó que faltaba un documento, que tenía treinta minutos para buscarlo, lo conseguí minutos después que el counter cerró, la señal de fiwi fallaba por ratos, mi hermano espiritual Abhirama desde Perú, compadecido de mí desgracia, gestionaba en tiempo récord el documento, a pesar que rogué y supliqué, no me permitieron volar, y en un instante el sueño de todo una vida… se acababa en un instante, como si una torre de casinos cayera, así de frágil es la felicidad, en un momento estas riendo y al otro destrozado, posiblemente uno de los momentos más tristes de mi vida. Mi hermana Nitya Kishora que pasó por una experiencia parecida me consoló explicándome que debía llorar y molestar a los counter al día Sgte. para sensibilizarlos y me permitieran volar....

Chapter 2: After the rain

Hk pamho dear Gurudeva I think that in the previous letter the robot short text and I did not see your response after losing the flight I tried twice to travel between tears and prayers, the third was the expired cost me the travel bag, even so We had to run from one place to another looking for data. Although this is a test of Krsna draw two practical conclusions, sometimes when one has no experience in flights it is better to go to the office of the flight company before and present all the documentation to have the approval, what they ask at the airport This is the ticket number and it usually arrives in the mail after buying online And it is always good to be one of the first so if there is an unforeseen one can solve it in time, finally there are endless preventive measures.

I was somewhat scared but that was happening once I arrived at the dham, I met other lonely travelers and various airport characters, I almost traveled with a devotee from Brazil, but since the second attempt was no place it was not possible, I stuck to Latinos to facilitate communication, but in Munbai there were no Latinos despite having many waiting hours I did not leave the airport, the dream could more.

After 11 days of traveling by bus and plane, from Lima to Brazil, from Brazil to India two days of nightmare, I arrived in Mayapur and my friends Gaura, Sarvani, were waiting for me, which was a blessing. Cry with excitement at Panca Tattva. Mayapur is like a place of fairy tales, I felt like a spectator, we were able to make oblations to the deceased, to the mothers of mothers Candra Mukhi and Manasi Ganga.

HpS - Yes, is like a fairy land if you are under the protection of the fairy princess!

The river bath gave me a lot of happiness, I said goodbye to mayapur jumping like crazy to Sri Nrsimha, soon I return that is my comfort and the adventure is now Vrndavan, finally I walk to the purest place in the world, Jay Gurudeva. We know that many devotees and friends cared for us prayed for my well-being, we are completely grateful, we know that thanks to them but especially thanks to His blessings, we are very happy although with little laksmi, donations are accepted, Jijijiji.

His daughter who loves him:

Yugala Kishora Dasi

From the previous report this was missing ....

On the day of my departure on the way to the airport I felt very grateful because people helped me with my bags, the sketch of the devotees, it was very good there was no way to get lost, Radha sent me an excellent lunchbox, by subway I arrived at the impressive Guarulios airport From Chile, happily a bus left us at the corresponding terminal, despite leaving in advance there was a lot of queue, when it was my turn almost at the end the counter explained that a document was missing, that I had thirty minutes to look for it, I got it minutes later that the counter closed, the fiwi signal failed at times, my spiritual brother Abhirama from Peru, sorry for my misfortune, managed the document in record time, although I begged and begged, they did not allow me to fly, and in an instant the dream of a lifetime ... it ended in an instant, as if a tower of casinos fell, this is how fragile happiness is, in one moment you are laughing and the other shattered, possibly a or the saddest moments of my life. My sister Nitya Kishora who went through a similar experience comforted me by explaining that I should cry and annoy the Sgte day counter. to sensitize them and allow me to fly ....

HpS - We saw this and answered. What can we say. You are the most fortunate person, girl, in the world. You have seen the Pancha-tattva in Mayapura. Now you will see Radha-Krsna in Braja. It seems the external austerity is really for internal purification. We hope some nice devotee gives some nice donation. Please send more news. It is our life and soul.

PAMHO. He puesto URGENTE porque cuanto antes definamos itinerario antes podrán los devotos preparar algún programa.

ASA - Es un hecho. TlgaSP. 🙏

Propuesta inicial:

Llega el 15/09 y se va a NVM (opción B, si tiene muchas ganas de pelear, puede dar la clase en el Templo de Madrid que es a las 18:30 horas), podría estar en NVM hasta el viernes por la mañana o mediodia. El viernes dia 20 puede venir a casa para programa Sat Sanga (duerme en casa), el Sábado 21 por la tarde es el Ratha Yatra en Madrid (iríamos desde casa); Domingo 22 clase en Templo de Madrid (por la tarde) o puede dar también la de la mañana si quiere. Miércoles 25 podría ir a Barcelona hasta el domingo 29. El dia 30 vuelta a NVM para salir el dia 1 con Yadunandana Swami para India. Vuelta de India el 12/10 en Madrid hasta el 15 que vuela a Lima. Podría hablar con Mónica (antropología de la Universidad Complutense) por si el día 14 tiene un aula libre para algún programa.

Bueno esta es una propuesta para que la estudie y haga los cambios convenientes.

HpS - Gra… gra… gracias su esfuerza! Todo aparece bien. Es bueno, mejor, dar la clase Domingo cuando llegamos en Madrid. Pasar el noche en Madrid vea si hay posibilidad por Sankirtan lunes en Madrid y va a NVM lunes?

Gracias

siempre aspirando a devoto

AGTSP

paoho

M/P here. HAre Krsna! It is so easy to get depressed while moving forward in devotional service and then take shelter of mundane Rasa eg. Banana split, Hot fudge sunday etc. Steadiness in spiritual life means steady relationships with Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON devotees, and others. Of course, in ISKCON there are different kinds of devotees ie. NOI-5.

Here we are thinking of our female disciples sometimes when we write. That is not too good because we are in Sannyasa ashrama, but they write and maintain service relationship, but we have to keep male devotees more in the center. Turn the Vyasa-asana a little to the boys and less to the girls.

Here we are all Monkey Warriors looking for Sita! Sankirtan!

I wish we had Godbrothers who were more interested in our Sankirtan focus eg. Prof. C. G. Jung and Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.

O. K. chant some more rounds. SB class was combined with Boise devotees. Was nice. Lot of time on the Peru administration work, but in proportion.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeseinces. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Thank you so much Guru Maharaj for replying to my previous letter. It was so peaceful to read your letter. No words to express that feeling.

HpS - AGTSP paoho. So sorry that it has taken some time to answer. I guess you can see our situation in the DTCs here and the Kapi Dhvaja.

Guru Maharaj I have read the verses which you have told me to read and also the Guru tatva document.

Prabhupada has beautifully explained the importance of a spritual master in our life and has told to approach a bona fide spiritual master in the line of disciplic succession.

Therefore I would like to surrender myself to you Guru Maharaj and would like to engage myself in your service.

Guru Maharaj I am following the four regulative principles and chanting 16 rounds daily. Somedays I miss my rounds but keep account of it and try to complete it. Please forgive me Guru Maharaj. I will try to catch up my rounds and complete them.

Guru Maharaj I would like to thank you for letting us do deity worship. This keeps me so engaged in devotional service. I like to dress Nitai Navadwip Chandra and I feel that I want to spend hours doing this service. Everyday I get up and think of how should I dress them and serve them. Sometimes we both can feel the reciprocation from them.

Everything with regard to them affects us deeply. And now we have started worshipping tulasi maharani and we feel the same reciprocation from her.We also got attached to our Tulasi Maharani and are trying to take care of her in the best possible manner. We need your blessings Guru Maharaj in whatever small things we do in our spritual life.

By your mercy Guru Maharaj we got a chance to serve Mukunda Dutta Prabhu by cooking breakfast for him. It was such a blissful experience.

I would like to share our experience with you the next time I meet you Guru Maharaj.

Eagerly waiting to meet you Maharaj.

Please let me know if I could serve you in any way possible.

Your aspiring servant

Divya

HpS - It was very, very nice to see you, Srinatha and brother in Houston! Thank you for your association. We answered a few questions then. Any more now??? There are obvious steps in your spiritual life: Get fixed in chanting all your rounds, making them up promptly if one day you fall behind, get your Ashrama, Grhastha Ashrama, situation clear.

Please send more news of ISKCON Dallas from time to time!!!
