Letters to the editor

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!! Paoho...

I am writing to let you know that, due to family responsibilities here, I will not be able to travel to Peru or Chile to see you personally during this tour. However, I will be closely following your classes and activities through the Blog, Anvesaka, and the online broadcasts.

We are truly looking forward to having you join us and share your realizations during the 4-week program we discussed, whenever your schedule allows.

I will certainly try my best to arrange my schedule to visit you in Mexico, or wherever your travels take you in the future when circumstances permit.

Thank you so much for your tireless dedication, for continuing to visit our region, and for constantly inspiring and uplifting our saṅkīrtana in Latin America.

Your servant,

Nikunja Bihari Das

HpS - ASA -- Sorry, Hare Krsna, that our tour of Latin America in October and November has been postponed. We misunderstood the extent of the disintegration of the body that takes place with the Pancha Karma. Srinivasa Das gave us some strong comments but we misunderstood Anantesvara Das' comments to indicate that a few days of rest on the beach after the treatment would be enough.

As you can see we are having good discussions with everyone about postponing he program.

It does not have seemed to have created too much of a financial bomb.

Anyone who was traveling to join our programs should, may, still go and we can participate by internet.

This is all kind of natural as we head toward 80-years old on this body and Niskriya stage of Sannyasa.

Hope to hear about your Varna ashrama experiences also.

We are waiting to actually cancel the Air Mexico tickets, and maybe others want to wait also until we get back to USA, 22 October so that we can see if Lord Nrsmhadeva appears in Anantesvara Das et al dreams and guarantees that this time He will take special care of HpS body but please to make better arrangements in the future, since it is a little troublesome for Him.

😆

Querido Gurudeva:

Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias. ¡Todas las glorias a Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Le escribo para comentarle que, debido a responsabilidades familiares aquí, no podré viajar a Perú ni a Chile para verlo en persona durante esta gira. Sin embargo, estaré siguiendo de cerca sus clases y actividades a través del Blog, Anvesaka y las transmisiones online.

Deseamos de corazón que pueda sumarse y compartir sus realizaciones durante el programa de 4 semanas que conversamos, en la medida en que sus tiempos se lo permitan.

Haré todo lo posible para organizar mis tiempos y visitarlo en México o en cualquier otro lugar al que viaje en el futuro, en cuanto las circunstancias lo permitan.

Muchísimas gracias por su entrega incansable, por seguir visitando nuestra región y por inspirar y apoyar constantemente nuestro saṅkīrtana en Latinoamérica.

Su sirviente,



Nikunja Bihari Das

Hare Krishna,

Dandavat Pranam H H Hanumat Presaka Swami Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Your Padma Charan that I am so sorry, this time also I am not able to serve You. I am so unfortunate servant, please give me Your aasirvad and keep me Your Padma Charan always.

Kindly see Bhag 10.87.23 same in Cc 2.8.26 and explain the gist.

HpS - Thank you for your very important letter!

You can see that we have had a very intense schedule of travel and Ayurveda treatments, so a little slow in answering these letters.

We met Manjuali and Sarada bihari Devi Dasis and Krsna svarupa Das in Bengaluru and even talked to Sadhu bhusana on he phone with them.

We wish we could have much more physical association with Manipuri vaisanava but we were limited this time to this little bit.

We read:

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/10/87/23/

and the purport seem rather clear. By following the path of the Srutis through Shanta rasa we can come to more intense Rasas like Gopi bhava, and of course it is not that devotees who come to Gopi bhava give up Santa Rasa like the Srutis, no? Rather relich the Prayers of the Srutis even more, but from their new perspective of Gopi bhava.

https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/8/26/

Is also very, nice.

We would understand that this verse, and even comments on Lord Caitanya by big Western professors, illustrates the point that even very pure, learned Jnanis cannot understand the ecstacies of the Rasa-bhakti of devotees.

They cannot distinguish between epilepsy or sahajiya selfish sentiments and pure conjugal rasa symptoms expressed between Lord Caitanya and Ramananda Ray.

We saw the following purports by Bhaktivinode Thakura et al today that seem very, very relevant to these topics of Raganuga bhakti:

https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/adi/8/27/

In Bhagavatam 9.22.32 Prabhupada explain about Manipuri Baisnavism.

When Guruji is leaving India, I could not see Guruji's tour program.

Your fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das Yamuna Manjari

[10/3, 5:48 PM] Jagad Guru Das: Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

[10/3, 5:50 PM] Jagad Guru Das: I'm fully of good desires for your and your health.

[10/3, 5:53 PM] Jagad Guru Das: I bring the new idea that a Yvonne Laborda, the famous Spanish founder of Yvonne Laborda Institute, and an acharya for hispanoamerican community about Conscious Parenting and Unschooling, living in Barcelona... Is willing to met you and NIOS work. And is open to travel to Nueva Vraja Mandala directly.

[10/3, 5:53 PM] Jagad Guru Das: This is her web page:

Hare Krishna GuruMaharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!! paoho/bw!!!

Here is the list for books distributed this month of September:

1 Krsna book (traded for flying Hanuman + donation for temple!)

16 (one case) Hard Bhagavad Gita (for the Bhakti Sastri class)

33 Srimad Bhagavatam sets

Today is Bhadra Purnima!!

I personally distributed two Srimad Bhagavatam sets, and raised funds for 31 more sets (AGTSP), to meet Vaisesika Prabhu's goal for the Houston temple to distribute 300 sets! We did it! Over 300 sets sponsored/ distributed.

Raising funds with the microphone was fun. And I have tons of photos for you!! The main distributors today were Patita Pavana das, Brhat Mrdanga das, and me.

Thanks for all the mercy!

Ys,

Jayahari das

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Sorry little slow answering. Hope you can get news of our trip from Blog posts and Whatsapp.

Back in Madrid, Brihuega, New Braja Mandala, Spain for two daze now.

Our body is 90% dead but our soul is experiencing good vibes and great Kirtan.

Ayurveda-Gauranga, Ki Jai!

Hope we can inspire people who bought sets to participate in reading and chanting the SB in the association of devotees.

Make book distributors!

Each set is like dropping 20,000 tons of rice laddu Prasadam on Hiroshima, no?

It, the Sun, is at 5.02 past the meridian, midday.

At 6pm there is a seminar by Anantesvara Das on Ayurveda.

Yesterday I and he did a program together. It was very, very, strong and described very well our experiences and thoughts about Ayurveda in Chile, Peru, and other Latin and even industrialized communities.

Also, broadcasting this calendar change of postponng the tour of Latin America, so looks like we will be back in Houston on Sunday the 25th and then stay until January.

Very best wishes for everyone's Sankirtan.

We distributed our NOI to row mate on the flight from Bangaluru to Paris.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🙇‍♀️

Please, accept my respectful obeisances at your feet!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!!! Paoho/bw!!!

Regarding your question from my last letter...

HpS: "Who else is working in Chosica?"

Here, there are several devotees who are engaged in serving the deities..

As the main pujaris are: Karuna Krishna das (temple president), Lila Kantha das, Ramasaundarya das, Vindyabali DD, Isarani DD and Lila Nandini DD in the Kitchen.

And some other devotees help some days during the week or the month: Nitya Kinkari DD, Om Purnam das, Tulasi Kunja DD, Narayani DD, Gandharva das, Indira Sakti DD, Palika DD, Ananga Manjari DD, Priya Narma Sakhi DD....

Maybe I am forgetting someone else..

Thank you, Gurudeva 🙏

HpS - Super!!! Just hearing the names of these devotees is so encouraging.

As much Kirtan for Radha Madan-bihari as possible is wonderful, no? So nice if They become very popular in Chosica. If there is a regular train service from Lima to Chosica for people to visit them!!!

This verse:

https://vedabase.io/es/library/cc/adi/8/50/

and the following verses are very nice meditation for all the Pujars of Radha Madan-bihari, no?

Maybe you can format and print them and distribute them?

Hare Krsna.

TlgaSP.

Pfanrh & mejor deseos.

Aqui somos en Nueva Braja Mandala, Bruhuega, Espanya.

Son las 4.26PM. Llegando ayer de Bengaluru, India, la misma hora con Anantesvara Das.

Estamos cumpliendo de India la esfuerza grabar cosas para el documentario de Ayurveda y en regrasa a EEUU.

Pero, los resultados de la Pancha karma son mas fuertes que estamos esperando.

Estamos pensando dos dias de descansa en la playa de Udupi despues del tratamiento va ser suficient viajar por clase economica a Madrid y EEUU y salir de EEUU para Peru, Chile, despues de cinco dias va ser practico aun poco fuerte.

Pero el resultado es diferente!

Externamente estamos brillando, pero internament es como el cuerpo era mantenido par los anyos, contaminacion subtil y removar, activar, la conaminacion ha sido que interioramente somos muy fragile pero abierto a creceer nuevo cuerpo en base mas buena.

Estoy esforzando ir 26 Octubre al Sur aun que es obviamente fuerte pero Anantesvara Das dijo es exacatament lo que ha pasado a Niranjana Swami y el resultado era caida complement del cuerpo y entrando en el hospital.

Oooof!

Entonces aparece tenmos que aplazer la gira!

No, me gusta.

Tengo que comer lijera. No clases ni intrevistas mas de 20, 30 minutos pero en contraste la energia es mucho mas profundo y subtle.

En una hora estan organizado una simposia de Ayurveda con Anantesvra Das, yo, y Yadu Swami como traductor y comentarista que esperamos podemos compartir con todo Vds. pronto de los resultados y perspectivas de la predica Ayurvedica.

Pero, no significa que no podemos participar en programs por internet.

Si quedamos en Houston, va ser buen connection y misma hora.

Despues, programa in Mexico en Enero? Aparece bueno y posible continuar Sur despues.

Que piensas?

Claro, esperamos que NIOS puede ayudar con la recompensa economicamente con inversiones que esta cambio esta causando.

Que piensas? Tenemos que cancelar los boletos de Aero Mexico al minimo 24-horas antes del vuelo para obtener algo recompensa.

O.K. 4.52AM

Descanso antes de programa aqui!!

Gracias! Jaya Sri Rama.
