Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna querido Gurudev

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Esperando que se encuentre bien de salud, le escribo estas lineas para contarle que estoy muy feliz intentando siempre seguir sus instrucciones.

Gracias a su misericordia es que puedo seguir realizando mi sadhana diario, cantando mi 16 rondas y siguiendo los 4 principios.

Con el deseo de servirlo a Ud, y a la mision de Srila Prabhupada, actualmente sigo con mis servicios en Wilson Mandir cocinando una vez al mes para el programa del domimgo y dando tambien una vez al mes una clase el tercer domingo de cada mes. Tambien estoy haciendo pujari los miercoles en Gaura Aratik. Mi esposa Lavanya d.d. hace pujari en Gaura Aratik dos domingos al mes tambien en el Templo.

Por otro lado le cuento que estamos muy felices ya que mi hijo Sebastian, al cual Ud escucho en nuestra casa tocar el piano ha ingresado como alumno al Conservatorio Nacional de Musica y esta cantando 4 rondas diarias.

HpS - ASA --- 😀

Como Ud debe saber querido Gurudeva proximamente se estara abriendo otro templo en donde estaran sus Señorias Jaghanatta, Baladeva y Subadra. Mi esposa Lavanya d.d. y yo servimos diaramente a sus Señorias en nuestro hogar, pero nos henos apegado mucho a sus Señorias Gaura-Nitay que se quedaran como siempre en Wilson Mandir. Nuestro deseo es seguir sirviendolos, y, queria consultarle lo siguiente. Prabhu Yamunesvara das me ha pedido que lo ayude en la nueva junta que quedaria en Wilson con el cargo de secretario, mi unico deseo es servirlo a Ud, a la mision de su Guru Srila Prabhupada y a mi muy amado Señor Krsna y solo aceptaria este cargo si a Ud le parece y me da sus bendiciones.

Intentando ser util me despido.

Su sirviente

HpS - ASA --- Aparece bien! Reverencias al Yamunesvara Das u todos. En carga de los communicaciones del Templo y tambien consejo general. Nuevo Wilson!!

Hare Krishna querido Gurudeva, TLGASP, acepte mis humildes reverencias a sus pies. Disculpe que ponga carta urgente, asi pueda llegar a Ud. (escribi antes), Prabhu Yadu y quien intenta servirlo Apurva Sundari, deseamos invitarlo aqui a la selva del Peru, a este nuevo lugar llamado Vrindavan, que ya con la bendicion de Krishna y sus devotos, se esta pudiendo terminar y proseguiremos con Los Retiros Espirituales en Conciencia de Krishna, se por este blog que posiblemente llegue aqui al Peru en junio, si pudiera para que mes seria posible ?. Seguimos el sadhana completo en este bello lugar que Krishna nos permite estar, para tratar que la proxima mudanza sea a Goloka, quien intenta servirlo de corazon, Apurva Sundari Devi Dasi.

HpS - ASA - Ya estamos respondiendo a cartas por que no en viaje y encontrando 25-devotos cada dia! Gracias su invitacion. Ya estamos casi comprando el boleto para Peru, Junio. Vamos a ver! Pienso Srila Prabhupada esta alla!!!!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO

I saw the picture that I am attaching in Facebook I commented that this is an offense against Lord Jesus Christ

Please tell me

Thanks

Your servant

ASA - Hare Krsna. We cannot see the picture without answering the letter. So we will "Publish" our answer and then maybe edit it after we see the picture.

Seems O.K. to us. Of course, we don't know any details, but our Lord, Jesus Christ, was gentle like the rabbit, and the Hare, no?

Hare Krsna!

AGTSP. Paoho

Esteemed Guru-bhakti Devi Dasi & Nitai-gaura-sundara Das,

After Houston we were COMPRESSED with the Junt Congress in Santa Barabara and then West Coast, Ministry of Education Symposium, in Boise, and then after 12-weeks on The Road we got back to Tennesse and have been sorting out our work.

1. We have 17-20 January on our Calendar and plan to attend.

2. We hope we can help you in many ways, but in particular with a presentation on: "Science, Psyche and Spirituality - The Encounter of Dr. C. G. Jung with the Bhagavata".

3. Two broad areas for the BMA congress seem to be:

  a). Physician Heal Thyself. How we can be doctors and get our rounds done, get up for Mangala arati, go back home, back to Godhead.

  b). How we can improve health care from a Krsna conscious perspective. This means better systems of preventive and recuperative medicine, and ... how we can influence the education of medicine in the world eg. mentoring medical students, publishing in accepted journals, wikipedia.

Esteemed Badri-narayana Swami et al,

PAOHO.... It was very nice to have your cheerful, insightful association during the SGGS in Mayapura. After that we traveled for about seven more weeks with very good results. We finished off the ten weeks of travel in Boise just last week and can summarize the excellent results of the visit as we hope will be of use to you in a few following words.

1. Temple functions are going on with excellent co-ordination.

2. Ananta-rupa Das has touched our heart with the progress he has made in developing educational programs as we suggested. eg. There is now strong internet connection in the Temple so that classes can be shared online, daily Temple classes are underway and a regular, weekly, SB reading/study group is finishing the first two cantos. We will join it.

3. We talked with ARD for about 4-1/2 hours individually and with Srivasa-pandita Das from San Jose. We had similar extended discussions with Srinivasa Das and others and we feel satisfied that very significant progress was made in adjudicating differences and developing similarities.

4. We continued with very, very strong programs in 'Jung and the Bhagavata' at BSU as well as packed Temple and home programs.

5. We did tons individual and family consultation with Temple, congregation and visiting devotees. Walked all the way to the Rose Garden with Srivasa-pandita Das from ISV and his family.

6. We should be available to participate by telephone if it is needed while you are there.

7. One last point. CENSORED BY THE SUPREME UNDIFFERENTIATED COMANDO OF ASA.

We are like the soil. You are like the sun. If you can find some way to use us, that certainly will be done.
