Letters to the editor

Report month Madhusudana

Hare krsna remembered Gurudeva

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - Locus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to Sri Sri Radha Madhana Vihari

I hope you are happy in your beautiful preaching for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada.

Please forgive me for asking you not to make my letter public. Without realizing it, I lacked respect for His ashram. Please accept again my prostrated obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - We thank you for writing. Little details in etiquette are little details. Thank you.

 I also apologize to the devotees who felt uncomfortable about this.

I forgot that sometimes some people act "badly" because Sri Krishna wants to teach me through them, to see my own faults.

Once I heard: "there are problems that have no solution and others that resolve themselves, so we do not have to worry much about the problems". And it's true.

HpS - I heard that Winston Churchill said that and he won the second world war.

I had expectations of doing service together, but seeing the reality hurt me a lot.

I think I am an Adhikari kanistha because I still do not know how to relate to my dear spiritual master or to the Vaisnavas.

I thank you infinitely for your words, they help me a lot.

I remember doing publicity service for the festivals with prabhu laksman. At that time I wanted to create a communications department in chosica. They were very good times.

HpS - These are good times also and as we wake up they will get better and better!

We can not go to see him in Lima ... we are half stuck in Cordoba ... Rather, we would like you to come and visit us, there is a forest of canes behind the mud house, in front of the river and the mountains. Krsna has been very kind giving us these wonderful views. Franco told me to hope you came to visit us.

Please accept our obeisances: Frank, Gopalito and Radha at your feet.

You can publish my letters or not, you can mold them, you can do what you want. It will always be my beloved guru and if I had to be born again I would choose it again and again.

Thanks for tolerating my mistakes.

Trying to serve him with the heart:

HpS - We hope Krsna kidnaps all of you and we see you in Argentina! At least we can talk on the phone while we are there. Expect miracles. We hope you include photos of your view. How is your family in Lima?

hARE kRSNA. hARE rAMA!

We are in Madana-bihari's Dhama!

ISKCON Peru (Lima (Chosika))). The Sun comes up and goes down here, but different than Tennesse. In any case the Santo Nombres, Holy Names, never change. Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

We are exhausted, as usual. We are in the middle of a weekend seminar on education. The devotees are doing, Beautiful, intellegent, practical programs on kids education, the Holy Names, etc.

Now it is time to take milk and rest

Querido Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Estoy muy avergonzado por no escribir por tanto tiempo... espero que sea capaz de comenzar a reportarme más a menudo.

ASA - Nos es igual!

Como usted sabe, estoy en Medellín, Colombia. Con la ayuda de mi esposa estamos manteniendo un programa de prédica todos los domingos. Ahora llevamos 3 años continuados con ese programa. Hace un mes hemos cambiado de lugar, y hemos alquilado un lugar en el centro de la ciudad, muy céntrico, ya están viniendo más personas que antes!

A nivel personal estoy tratando de volverme serio con las rondas y cantar bien. La mayoría de días termino 16, pero hay días que no puedo terminar por falta de tiempo, trabajo, familia...

HpS - Keep account of how many rounds you owe Krsna y work to catch them up.

Los principios están bien gracias a una inmensa misericordia de Krishna.

Hay días que hago mangala-artik, otros no me da tiempo.

HpS - Krsna will never punish you for chanting 16-rounds or getting up for Mangala-arati, Kirtan, SB. He will always reward you, wants to reward you! These basic principles of sadhana will improve every other thing you do in the maximum way possible.

Leyendo el 6º canto del SB y en las noches algo de pasatiempos, del Señor Caitanya, anécdotas de Prabhupada, etc Ahora estoy leyendo también el Libro de Aindra prabhu. uufff

ASA - The KRSNA book!

Estamos tratando de innovar en la prédica, hacer cosas nuevas, buscar la manera de atraer más personas a los programas de los domingos. Estamos haciendo videos en Youtube, publicidad en Facebook, muchas cosas de internet, que es mi trabajo. Y nuevas personas están viniendo gracias a eso. Ahora estoy tratando de mejorar y meditando en cómo mejorar.

HpS - You can have nice movie divided into like three parts and show it over three Sundays or even a separate night for just movies. Then people will come back. Free popcorn, but with enough salt that people will buy beverage! Ha! Ha! Hare!

Estoy pensando en ir a Perú a verle, el día 24 o quizá en octubre si no tengo el dinero a tiempo. Sería maravilloso poder verle! Parece que he estado durmiendo estos años! Eso si es el significado de maya, durmiendo despierto jajaj

ASA - Muy bien///

Ananga-mohini mi esposa está bastante bien gracias a Krishna, y mis hijos Gopal y Balaram estudiando y tocando la guitarra eléctrica. Arjuna el mayor está estudiando en la universidad.

Voy a ver si puedo volverme un verdadero sirviente de usted Gurudeva, espero sus instrucciones si en mi posición puedo servir de algo!

Le comparto unas fotos de los programas recientes

Su humilde sirviente, Jambavan das

HpS - Muy bien. Muy bien. Unos fotos??

Dear Guru Maharaja:

All the glories to Sri Sri Radha Krishna

All the glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you

Please accept my humble obeisances

I am writing to tell you that the temple authorities are going to recommend me for a second initiation and I´m going to take the exam soon, but more than that I will try to explain what means to me.

I've been living in the temple for a year and a half, now I consider the devotees as my family, because they accompany me, they support me in my projects and they inspire me. They really make me feel appreciated.

ASA - Super, super, super!

Before knowing the devotees I didn´t know the love that I can have for Krsna or the spiritual master , maybe this love is not very developed, but I have the seed.

There is something that I consider of great importance in my spiritual life, and it is my relationship with the deities, Gaura Nitai mean everything to me. One of my great desires is to serve them as pujari, if I take second initiation, devotees will train me as such.

More than a year ago we wrote each other, this is a part of the letter:

"I want to express my desire to take initiation when you come to Buenos Aires, I am in a very special moment in which I feel that I must take a more important step in my spiritual life and be able to serve you in a more formal way, I would like to take that commitment. I have the blessings of the devotees, I am about to give the initiation exam and follow the whole protocol of Iskcon in order to be initiated. I would like to know if you can give me your blessings to continue with this process of the exam and everything that implies the possibility of taking initiation.

HpS - Yes. Not only our blessings but our plea that it is all successful. We need EVERY soldier we can get to this point, every member of the choir that we can get.

I know that initiation is only beginning, my purpose in this life is to feel the love felt by the gopis for Sri Krsna.

HpS - Srila Prabhupada says that is a very, very big aspiration, but ..... by the mercy of Gaura Nitai, so much is possible. "

Nobody had called me a soldier before, this was a before and after in how I see myself, I am no longer just a fragile girl, you made me a soldier to serve the mission of Srila Prabhupada. Every time I feel bad or tired, I remember this, and I am encouraged to move on.

I know that I have a great aspiration and that I totally depend on the mercy of Gaura Nitai and yours.

Always praying for your welfare

Your servant

Kirtida Devi Dasi

HpS - It sounds very nice. When we are in Buenos Aires we can have individual and group discussions of how to develop our life as Dvijas, twice born.

As usual, we are running with these programs of Sankirtan. Now starts the evening program.

These Blog posts are life to us.

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja

Acepte por favor mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias sean para Sri Sri Gaura Nitai!

Gurudev, espero se encuentre muy bien de salud.

Ésta es la 3° carta que escribo. Creo que las anteriores se borraron.

Quiero contarle que Sukadeva está estudiando junto a un grupo pequeño de devotos, 3 veces a la semana. Prabhu Paramesvara Das, los está preparando para dar examenes libres. Él estudió pedagogía y educa a sus hijos en casa. Hasta ahora todo ha resultado muy bien.

Sukadeva está cantando 2 rondas de japa en una japa budista 😊

. Escucha el Srimad Bhagavatam por la mañana y el Krsna Book por la noche. También ofrece incienso y flor a Goura Nitai antes de ir a la escuela. En la tardes canta junto a nosotros frente al altar.

Indira, la pequeña, está hablando más y canta maha mantra imitandonos. Es muy desordena y ruidosa aún, pero espero que pronto se tranquilice y pueda escuchar la lectura con atención.

Jagannatha Caran sigue en su trabajo. Está ayudando a dar el curso de Bhaktas junto a otro devoto mexicano. Sigue con su servicio de las recomendaciones para refugio e iniciación.

Tenemos un chat en whatsApp (15 devotos) para cantar japa. Comenzamos desde las 4 am. Eso nos ha ayudado mucho a todos.

HpS - Si es un hecho!

En enero tomé un instructorado de YOGA KUNDALINI PARA NIÑOS. Estoy haciendo 1 clase a la semana a un grupo de 4 niños.

Acabo de terminar el curso de Discípulos, donde 7 devotos pasaron el examen.

Ahora preparando el curso Bhakti Sastri. Le pido por favor Sus bendiciones para poder hacer bien este servicio.🙏

Cantando 16 rondas de japa. A veces más. Levantando temprano. Atendiendo a Goura Nitai en casa (5 o 6 veces a la semana).

Gayatri mantra 80%.

Tulasi no se manifiesta aún en casa😣

, creo que me falta mucha devoción.

Gurudev, espero que éste reporte le sea al menos de Su agrado.

Su aspirante a sirviente

Priya Sakhi Devi Dasi

HpS - Muchas gracias su carta. Estamos casi tres dias en Lima. Casi adjustado al Ashrama. Comida y comenzando con programas fuertes. Hoy dia fuimos a Universidad San Marcos para programa con Jefe y alumnos post grado de Philosofia.

Su reportaje es super! Es un ejemplo para todo el mundo.

Reverencias al Jagannatha Carana Das.

Copmenzando programa por la tarde con Purusotraya Swami y muchos devotos!!! Mas noticias de nosotros pronto.

Hare Krishna, beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Thank you very much Gurudev for making the austerity to come and visit Mar del Plata again. Another opportunity to enlighten us with trascendental knowledge. We are very happy to receive you again!!

HpS - ASA -- ... and make books and movies.

Here are the ideas/work in progress for your sankirtan activities in Mar del Plata.

You arrive at Mar del Plata Tuesday 16th of July 5:25 pm. You will be staying at Sri Govardhan assited by Panca Tattva and Adi Yajña prabhus.

Main focus will be Education and the Sacred.

Wednesday or Thursday evening we will have a program at the University. This year is much more better organized than last year. It will be a program supported by the Escuela Superior de Medicina. We Confirmed:

• Susana Violante Phd in Philosophy from University of Barcelona,
• Gerardo Oemig, Psychologist, with whom we organized the program at Psychology university many years ago, and
• The Rector of the University sent a formal invitation to the Bishop.

It will be at the same classroom than last year.

Then wed or thursday we are organizing the same program but with local leaders, freethinkers. I´m organizing it with people from a local political party, the same people than last year in Torreon del Monje.

Friday from 15 to 18 hs at the Public Library again Education and the Sacred with pedagogues.

Then Saturday evening I´m thinking in a program for local devotees.

And Sunday noon Sunday Feast at Sri Govardhan.

I want to ask you whether you want to give SB lectures in the morning?

HpS - ASA -- Yes.

We are reading 3rd canto from monday to wednesday and pada padma thursday and friday. Saturday CC and Sunday general discussion.

ASA - Super...

You leave to Bs As monday 22nd july at 1:25 pm.

Again I have many questions, but such a busy fool that didn´t find the pace to sit and write to ask them. Hope to make them soon.

Thank you very much Gurudev, for allowing us to be part of something great and worthy,

At your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari das.

ASA - In the Preface to SB, verse 7.6.1 is cited. We can use it in our Sankirtan/Promotion for the programs. Extract stuff from the purports.
