Letters to the editor

Querido Gurumaharaja!

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias! 

Disculpe que recién envíe la información que solicitó, por teléfono fue difícil contactar a la aerolinea así que preferimos tener un agradable paseo en el aeropuerto. 

Vuelo de conexión:

-Al ser ambos viajes (Lima- México, México -Houston) con la misma aerolínea las maletas pasan directo, ellos se encargan.

- Si puede salir a visitar amigos. 

- El pasajero debe estar una hora y media antes del vuelo en el aeropuerto (adentro). 

Cualquier duda podemos seguir investigando. 

Sri Krsna hizo el arreglo para nuestro beneficio, un momento de asociación con el Guru nos puede salvar del mayor peligro. 

Podemos organizarnos para ofrecerle un descanso breve y prasadam.

Respecto a los devotos aspirantes y ceremonia de iniciación es muy poco tiempo para realizarlo en esta ocasión, humildemente así parece, la prioridad es un tránsito relajante, talves y si a Usted le parece podría cantar las japas, dejar los nombres, entregar el gayatri y en una próxima ceremonia que se realice en México los devotos podrian participar. 

Es una humilde idea o propuesta si el caso sería que México no contaría con una próxima visita con más días este año. 

Krsna hace los arreglos y su devoto puro los entiende, nosotros como aspirantes al Bhakti seguimos las instrucciones de nuestro maestro espiritual que nos liberarán de este mundo material. 

Oramos porque Sri Nrsimhadeva proteja siempre Su sagrada energía. 

Perdón por nuestras ofensas. 

Vuestra aspirante a sirviente 

Asta Sakhi dd. 

HpS - ASA - Moo! Chas Gracias!!!! Podemos hacer mas arreglas, pero, si, super tener poco maha-prasad de Radha Madana gopal y associacion, kirtan, con los devotos. Regresando de Peru, Chile in Deciembre? Quedamos en Mejico para mas tiempo!!

Hare Krsna.

AGTSP..... Traveling Creatures here! How are you.

It is 5.24PM and we have head-ache and butt ache. So, we are tired top to bottom of sitting in front of this computer screen and writing. It is nice. All the letters are at least O.K. Some are very interesting!!! Many teach us how to be better devotees.

Class was fine today. Looking at Canto Nine under Upendra's inspiration. Mostly we just answered mail today and rest this morning. We have:

NIOS webpage India Tour Report.

Board of Examiners work.

Viplavah / Kapi Dhvaja.

NIOS - Jung's Red Book Introduction x the Bhagavata as our work toward education and the sacred.

Blog, Yahoo, Whats app mail.

... but now we will go for a walk with NGD!

Thank you!!!! Krsna uses all this effort. Got 16 nice rounds done. Offered fruit, three baked sweet potatoes and tomato, oat, spit pea, almond soup to Lord Nrsmha Deva.

Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

The last audio file of Text 2 that you sent me (noi-2.5[bss-atyahara to end.mp3]) does not have any audio. Although the file is 10.58 mins long, I couldn't hear anything. Can you resend me the file with your commentary Maharaja?

If you don't find the file, can you please record you commentary for Text 2 starting from "The wealth of the world should be used for the welfare of all living entities" to the end?

ASA - We are just getting to this. Sometimes we can't do everything then we become depressed and take shelter of intoxication (pnut butter and strawberry jam), but step by step we are advancing in devotional service. We really try our best. See how much work we get done and then see our limits. Eg. now we are starting to get a headache. See how many letters we wrote here, then there is Yahoo mail, and Whatsapp stuff. We just can't do any more. So we deserve a rest (light work).

We opened the named file and our copy is also empty. We started to read and record but our only comment is really that ... We can see that Srila Prabhupada cites the complete Iso Text ONe and then paraphrased the Invocation. So, these two texts from Iso seem to be the most important, memorizable. We have used them several times as the basis for courses in universities on Vedic economics. For Bh. Vai we might add Text 15 for memorization. Of course, you can do it as soon as you like and use it for your Sankirtan. Both Iso 15 and BG 15.15 are wonderful for preaching in the heavy scholarly Sanskrit environment.

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

We hope you are feeling better and your chest pains are gone.

HpS - Only lasted for one hour and then we took rest and when we woke up it was 99% gone. It seems to be stress. We have to set our priorities and realize that we cannot do everything that we want for Krsna! How is your health?

We want you to be with us for a long time Guru Maharaja. We have been praying to Radha Kalachandji for your quick recovery.

I have finished transcription till text 3. I am now transcribing text 4 and should complete the text this weekend. Radhika Raman prabhu's semester should be over in a week and he will start editing after that. We are hoping to get the bulk of the work done this summer.

HpS - Very nice. I think it will be a useful contribution. I found a NOI work by one lady that has a lot of stuff in it. It is a PDF and as we get our work sorted we want to look at it. All this is for practical preaching! Thank you. 😀

Please accept my apologies. My phone # is . . .

HpS - ASA - Thank you. I just texted you to confirm and ask your apartment number. SOrry little slow in answering. On the road!!! Was so nice meeting you in Boise.

I've recently talked to Hari valise (Hari vilas) he wants me to donate 600.00 a month for a year before he gives me a letter of recommendation. i would much rather do Seva for you, any where you choose, so that you can get to Know me. I'd also rather give you the money.

This is all vary discouraging, awaiting your advice.

HpS - NOI text three. Don't become discouraged. There is not problem that we can't solve if we want to serve Lord Rama! Look at example of Hanuman. Look at example of Gopis running to Krsna! My first suggestion is you make a counter offer. 😀

Say, $50/month? You can say that HpSwami is not such an exalted Guru so he should not charge so much.

Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm 87% serious. Hari-vilasa Das is a practical guy. Second suggestion is to offer to do service with your body, mind or words. Third suggestion is to complain to the GBC. Oink! WHoof! Bark! Honk. In any case if you are doing everything for six months he should be willing to tell the Temple President to give you letter of recommendation as an Refugee, after six months more the formal initiation.

O.K. Let us talk about this. We shall give a good lesson the the teachers. You can share this letter as you like.

My picture is loading I hope. A friend found out I was going to see you,and he has so much admiration for you,he has to come, I'm the older one on the left.

Your servant Mike Jarvis

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj !! Please accept our humble obeisances at Your lotus feet. Hare Krishna Maharaj

We thank you so much for awakening us. We seek forgiveness for all the inconveniences that have bothered Guru Maharaj. We are sorry. Please forgive us.

HpS - AGTSP. Was it you who was causing the smoke, pollution in the air! That was really only irritation. Was great visit. Great results.

A lot of devotees were inspired by Guru maharaj. Some of them felt shy to openly express their happiness and their desire to take shelter at Your lotus feet....especially the Physics teacher from Toubul. He attends mangal arti daily , chants and has been a vegetarian for a long time now. The Toubul devotees celebrated Holi with great fervour, the celebration was covered by a local TV channel.

The crowd is crazy...in fact...everybody seems to be crazy.....dances...sankirtan...colours....sports....drum beats...goes on and on....till the wee hours of morning.......and nobody seems to be complaining... today the Sankirtan party is coming to our house late evening....we will dance and sing and have prasadam together.

Guru Maharaj, its really a very , very nice time of the year and we keep thanking Srila Prabhupada for His mercy , sending us a spiritual master who care for us so much. Thank you Guru Maharaj. We keep thinking how the Sankirtan will be like this evening.

Next time round, may we invite Guru Maharaj to our humble house for a programme ?

Thank you once again Guru Maharaj,

Your ignorant servant,

HpS - Hare Krsna. We have been back in our Base Camp for some times and getting more work done than on the road, but still challenges. Sorry that it has taken so long to answer this letter. Such nice news from Manipura. You can see the Calendar in the Kapi Dhvaja about our travels. We will be in India only for the Govardhana Eco Village of Radha-natha Swami and NOID (Delhi) for the BOEX work. At least we can talk by phone, teleconference, with everyone. Maybe event Speed Post laddus!

What about printing books in local languages with the Rupees that we left?

How is The Hari-das Swami?

The University of Bhagavata Culture?
