Letters to the editor

Oink! Honk! WHoop! ! ! !

8.39PM We are DEAD!!! lONG lONG LONG dAY! You can see some of the letters we wrote to Minstry of Education, Philemon Foundation. We answered "Urgent" letters. The problem/advantage of URGENT letters is that we answer them quickly so that sometimes means it is a short answer.

We see so many Vyasapuja offerings. How can we answer them?? We feel sad. Our eyes are very strained now. We can push but we will go blind even sooner.

Tandavika Das has gone to bed. We didn't get a chance to go for walk today. I wanted to but it kept getting later.

The world moves very fast.

All we can do is keep our little part of it clean and be an example to others. We can talk to them, offer advice, if they can hear, but if not then we can set and example.

Hare Krsna Hare Rama. Happy Radha. Happy Shyama. Play Their vina, play their lute. Play Their bamboo country flute.

More letters we wanted to answer but will destroy our eyes, so we rest now. Hear Krsna lila in the rumbling of the surf.

Our humble obeisances to you. Thank you for your sacrifices for Srila Prabhupada's movement. , , , ,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias a mi maestro espiritual Su Santidad Hanumatpresaka Swami

Por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias.

Hoy, 12 de Enero tiene un valor incalculable para nosotros, pues en un día como hoy pero de 1948, apareció usted, quien es un océano de misericordia. Nos presentamos ante usted rogándole; por favor, permítanos mantener su asociación y permanecer en el servicio refugiados bajo la sombra de sus pies de loto.

HpS - Pies de Lobo, Loco.

Añoramos ser útiles en su servicio, trabajando en armonía con esta gran orquesta que acompaña su Sankirtana.

Permítanos ofrecerle este insignificante regalo que preparamos como una ofrenda de sus discípulos y bienquerientes en México.

HpS - ASA -- Our conclusion of our V-puja in Mexico is that no one knows how to have more fun than Mexicans. Please share it with the whole world. Eliminate quickly the natural faults of Mexicans! Thank you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YnfCH7LNcM Que es ISKCON

Domador de Titanes

Es hora de cosechar,

Siembra las semillas,

los frutos fueron escogidos,

maduros, fuertes y sobresalientes.

Otros Gurus tienen miles de seguidores,

Hanumatpresaka Swami

prédica a los líderes.

En una oportunidad un crítico de cine

cuestionaba una película que presentaron

en la conferencia de Su Santidad,

cuando Hanumatpresaka Swami

profirió palabras, el insensato, trato de disculparse

valorando el mensaje trascendental de esa película,

que superaba a cualquier otra gandora de “Óscar.

Así es Gurudeva, un ladrón de corazones,

Nadie se resiste a la pureza del devoto puro.

Todas estas personas exitosas desean su asociación,

El hace sankirtan a lo grande, en grandes conferencias,

Pese a todo ello, siempre es sencillo y amable con todos.

Siempre determinado en su sadhana,

cantando al Señor Nrsimha, tocando la flauta,

el raga matutino a la hora del Gayatri.

Este año, después de una tormenta, me vino la calma,

y me dio a Hanuman, a quien se me instruyo adorar,

Krsna habla en el corazón del Guru.

Cual cartas liberadoras de locura de mente

Corrí tras su sombra, siempre oyendo,

nos sentimos dichosos.

El primer puesto de la maratón es para HpS,

sin su misericordia no podría ir a India.

Sin sus bendiciones no podemos lograr nada,

El nos motiva a seguir nuestros sueños.

El siempre instruye con su buen ejemplo.

Un mono decía: “yo siento que debo ayudarlo”

Yo siento que no podemos pagárselo.

A Nuestro Salvador, Nuestro Instructor,

Nuestro padre, Dueño, Maestro Bienqueriente,

Sirviente de la Gran familia de Prabhupada.

Infinitas dandavas, mil súplicas por cualquier ofensa,

Mi único pedido es más entendimiento,

para poder servirlo, para poder complacerlo,

que sería de la educación en ISKCON,

sin la contribución de Hanumatpresaka Swami,

un lumbreras, un pionero en estudios sastras,

el gran cosechador, muy Encandor,

el Domador de titanes

emponderado por Krsna.

Jay Srila Prabhupada!

Jay Gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!!!

Su hija que lo adora:

 Yugala Kishora Dasi

HpS - ASA -- Jaya! Podemos entender 11% pero aparece una poema muy hermosa!!! Espero hay alguien con abilidad como Miguel Cervantes quie puede traducir. Gracias. Yugala kishora Dasi. Tu eres una ganadora, sin duda, joya de corona de sus familia.

Hare Krsna to our dear Gurudev on the auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja!

Please accept our most humble obeisances! All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.

Gurudev, we are very happy to report to you as a family our gratitude for the shelter of your association and guidance in this material world. Otherwise, we are reminded of what it would be like to be reminiscent of an 18 month old baby we once saw in the rubble of an abandoned building near Vrindavan’s Sandipani Muni school, alone with no parent or adult in sight. Of course, she is in Vrindavan so Krsna will take special care of her but the image Is a reflection of our state without the chance mercy of your association in this material world. In a conversation with the Irish poet Desmond O’Grady, Prabhupada states we need sincerity to get the opportunity of protection. “Therefore God is called caittya-guru, the spiritual masterwithin the heart. And the physical spiritual master is God's mercy. If God sees that you are sincere, He will give you a spiritual master who can give you protection. He will help you from within and without---without in the physical form of spiritual master, and within as the spiritual master within the heart. īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ

hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati

bhrāmāyān sarva-bhūtāni

yantrārūḍhāni māyayā

[Bg. 18.61]

"The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine made of the material energy."

We pray to have the qualities that will help us be disciples that are not a burden and not take advantage of this rare opportunity to be a foolish follower of your and Srila Prabhupada’s divine example. 

Gurudev, we wanted to share with you that the newest member of our family is still unborn and 10 days past her 40 week due date. We pray that everything will be ok as we are scheduled to be induced tomorrow. We want to name her Sita and were hoping that you would bless her with a gift of her middle name.

HpS - ASA - She arrived O.K., no?? Sita Sundari??

We hope you have a wonderful Vyasa Puja. We hope to still follow your instruction of writing poems inspired by the SB and will share one soon!

HpS - Jaya! Kamagayatri and Murari write poems, and now they are read in all the homes. They tell of a pig who went to heaven, but had to return to punch down the bread he had leavened.

Aja wrote and drew a picture for his offering. It says: Thankyou for helping my family and doing everything you do. Hare Krsna.

Your servants,

Kamagayatri, Murari, Aja and Jahnavi

HpS - ASA - Jaya!!!! See you soon. Your success is guaranteed. Japa. Japa. Japa. For 16-rounds let let Radha be the Mommy.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva,

All the glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!,

Please accept my respectful obeisances and forgive my ofenses please.

Gurudeva here we (Sergio and I) want to write a very special letter, when we talked with You in Arequipa we told You we were living in Cusco, after some days I moved from Divya s mataji s house to the same building Sergio was living, everything was more practical because of the business we have, etc. In that time we talked about the possibilities to get married and why, we read a very nice book that a mataji lent us, it was about marriege with a religous perspective, the questions we have to make to eachother, when and so on. Trying to forget for a while about duty and practical things we wondered what could change in our compromise and although we have to improve, we have the same goals, dificult but posible.

Gurudeva, aquí (Sergio y yo) queremos escribir una carta muy especial. Cuando hablamos con Usted en Arequipa, le contamos que vivíamos en Cusco. Después de algunos días me mudé de la casa de Divya mataji al mismo edificio que estaba viviendo Sergio, todo era más práctico debido al negocio que tenemos, etc. En ese momento hablamos sobre las posibilidades de casarnos y el porqué, leímos un libro muy bonito que nos prestó una madre, se trataba del matrimonio desde una perspectiva religiosa, también las preguntas que debemos hacernos el uno al otro, cuándo y así sucesivamente. Tratando de olvidar por un momento sobre el deber y las cosas prácticas, nos preguntamos “qué podría cambiar en nuestro compromiso” y aunque tenemos que mejorar, tenemos los mismos objetivos, es difícil pero posible.

Then, I finished my classes in the unversity with good grades, however I neglected my rounds in that time. Now I want to complete them all, I am so sorry Gurudeva for that. About our principles, with effort, goals in mind, advice and good association.. we accomplished well. 

 Luego, terminé mis clases en la universidad con buenas calificaciones, sin embargo descuidé mis rondas en ese tiempo. Ahora quiero completarlos todos, lo siento mucho Gurudeva por eso. . Sobre nuestros principios, con esfuerzo, objetivos en mente, consejos y buena asociación, lo logramos bien. 

Then we traveled to Lima and we had some meetings with my family and Sergio, very nice moments, it was a matter of time, mistakes we could avoid, etc. We spent December 31st in the house of some devotees and then, on January first Sergio surprised us with a proposal in front of my family and.. I said yes!. Before any arrangment we want to ask You Gurudeva. Now this is probably urgent for us, we would like to formalize our relation ship soon, we will come back to Cusco in Febrerary and we have some ideas about what we can do, with some help of our relatives. We are not thinking now about fire ceremony, maybe next year, civil marriege now with garlands with very close relatives.. they are ideas and desires in our minds and hearts. We would like to know what You think about this.. we will waiting for your reply Gurudeva, please forgive our offenses, May Lord Nrsimha protects You always. Sita Lalita dd.

Luego viajamos a Lima y tuvimos algunas reuniones con mi familia y Sergio, muy buenos momentos, era cuestión de tiempo, errores que pudimos haber evitado, etc. Pasamos el 31 de Diciembre en casa de algunos devotos y luego, el primero de Enero Sergio nos sorprendió con una propuesta frente a mi familia y ... ¡Dije que sí !. Antes de cualquier arreglo queremos preguntarle a Gurudeva, ahora, probablemente sea urgente para nosotros, nos gustaría formalizar nuestra relación pronto, regresaremos a Cusco en Febrero y tenemos algunas ideas sobre lo que podemos hacer, con la ayuda de nuestros familiares. No estamos pensando ahora en la ceremonia del fuego, quizás el próximo año, podría ser matrimonio civil ahora con guirnaldas y con parientes muy cercanos... son ideas y deseos en nuestras mentes y corazones. Nos gustaría saber qué piensa acerca de esto... esperaremos su respuesta Gurudeva, perdone nuestras ofensas, Que el Señor Nrsimha Deva lo proteja siempre. Sita.

I wrote You Maharaja before going to Cusco with Sita, telling You about our relation ship.. and I had no answer in that moment. Now I write You again with humillity, for something more important. On January first I made a decition to propose marriege to Sita in front of their parents, brother and girlfriend and Sita said yes. I would like to know If You agree, it would give me a lot of tranquility to know what You think. Thank You very much in advance for Your time and please forgive any offense commited, Hare Krsna..Sergio.

Maharaja, yo le escribí antes de ir a Cusco con Sita, contándote sobre nuestra relación .. y no tuve respuesta en ese momento. Ahora Le escribo de nuevo con humildad, para algo más importante. El primero de Enero tomé la decisión de proponerle matrimonio a Sita frente a sus padres, hermano y asociada, y Sita dijo que sí. Me gustaría saber si está de acuerdo, me daría mucha tranquilidad saber lo que piensa. Muchas gracias de antemano por su tiempo y, por favor, perdone cualquier ofensa cometida, Hare Krsna ... Sergio

Well tomorrow is a veeery special day! Specially for us and for all of our god brothers and sisters, we are so thankful and ashamed at the same time, by hearing your pastimes we cant avoid an smile! or stop our tears. Just by remembering Your words we feel happy, with hope in our heart and eager to chant, the Holy names of Sri Ram!. We are so thankful, we have to do a lot, we are in debt.. so we wont stop singing and dancing, just because we know that our well situated Gurudeva can take us there, wherever He wants to take us.. there.. chanting the glories of the Holy Name. Happy Vyasa puja Gurudeva! Then we have another special day this Saturday 12. Hare Krsna.

Bueno mañana es un día muy especial! Especialmente para nosotros y para todos nuestros hermanos y hermanas espirituales, estamos muy agradecidos y avergonzados al mismo tiempo. Al escuchar sus pasatiempos, no podemos evitar una sonrisa! O detener nuestras lágrimas. Con solo recordar Sus palabras, nos sentimos felices, con esperanza en nuestro corazón y ansiosos por cantar, los Santos Nombres de Sri Ram!. Estamos muy agradecidos, tenemos que hacer mucho, estamos endeudados ... así que no pararemos de cantar y bailar, porque sabemos que nuestro bien situado Gurudeva puede llevarnos allí, a donde Él quiera llevarnos ... allí ..Cantando Las glorias del Santo Nombre de Sri Hari. Feliz Vyasa puja Gurudeva! Luego tenemos otro día especial este sábado 12! Hare Krsna.

Sita Lalita dd and Sergio.

HpS - Thank you. AGTSP. Paoho. Your history and plans seem nice. Only thing is letting your rounds slide. I have to figh this also! If you are so busy in service that you have not got time to eat and sleep then there is excuse to back up your rounds. Krsna will never punish us for chanting 16-good rounds. Whatever you did during your Japa time would have been done better if you had spent the time with 16-good rounds. The Witch tricked you.

Witch 5 - Sita 25

Next inning!

Make them up, no? Gradually! Then when you die your grand children will say, "Our Grandma and Grandpa we very upright lady and gentleman! We follow them!"

Send us pictures of the Wedding. I bet your Poppa will cry a little even though he is very tough.

Hare Krsna Maharaj,PAMHO, AGTSP
