Letters to the editor

Haribol Hanumatpresaka Swami! PAMHO! AGTSP! Yes, I saw some videos from Nios Image, but you asked me i I wanted to write something for the magazine Solaris. ¿? Write where ? My teacher has answered the message, he says that the topic inspires and interests him a lot, but he does not think he can contribute much. He says we'll talk about it in September. I have asked him to warn me before September. He lives in Valencia, but maybe he can travel to Madrid, Barcelona or Guadalajara. I will inform you when I know if he wants to participate or not. Here in Nueva Vrajamandala, I'm going to do the disciples' course and the Bhakti Yoga course. thanks you! Arina.

HpS - Hare Krsna! AGTSP!! This letter was 4-months ago. We were not able to answer almost any letters for months while traveling. Now we seem to be getting our feet on the ground here again in Tennessee, but then, end of January we will travel again.

Nice thing is that we got to meet you in bodily existence while we were in Spain.

I have never met anyone more intelligent or more compassionate or more humble than Srila Prabhupada. I hope you can also get to know him very well. If you know a superior person, or have a superior idea, he is the first to be eager to meet them or understand.

Hare Krsna dear Hanumat Presaka Swami, please accept my humble obeisances, jay Srila Prabhupada!

I am very happy you are coming to Spain and we can have your inspiring association, many thanks!

Please forgive me I didn’t answer your last letter... :

“Are you going to get formally initiated. It is like the 'boda'. It is a formality but not a meaningless formality.”

Reading carefully Jayarama Guru-tattva page, I am not ready now to follow strictly the commitment: I am not able yet to chant 16 rounds everyday, I am ashamed to say this. Sometimes 8 rounds, none, 2, suddenly 16, 4, amazing, boring, ecstasy, anxiety, like this.

These last months have been a great challenge in many senses. Many tests. Lot of learning. What I got from all this... I want to start taking this process seriously! No more excuses. I have too much to thank, and to love and to serve, also to surrender, to Krishna, Prabhupada, You, Jara Mara Hari das, Life. At least, I owe all you this serious chanting... And I want to get closer to spiritual world...

So from now, everyday, minimum: chanting 4 rounds, reading 4 Bhagavad Gita verses and meaning. Increasing gradually until I reach 16 rounds everyday and I get the taste for reading Prabhupada’s books. Hopefully next year I’ll be prepared to ask You for formal initiation. 

Jara Mara Hari das is helping and encouraging a lot.

Also, trying to find balance in general, learning about Dharma, about Grihastha Ashram, about Service in this life.

I’ll keep reporting the process, thank you very much for the opportunity.

Your aspirant servant, 

Bhaktin Marta

HpS - AGTSP. This letter was before we started traveling. Could not answer anything. O.K. Have you been chanting 4-rounds/day, reading? Yes/No .... Accept the reality and go ahead. The Witch will not win this fight!

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

HpS - Are, Bhagavan. We are still trying to have clean feet. AGTSP!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Thank you so much for the reply. We do not have a direct flight from Imphal to Mumbai as yet. We have to take a connecting flight from Guwahati or Kolkata. It is so nice to learn that Prof Samaresh is adding another feather to his much decorated cap!

Which centre is better for online Bhakti Sastri course Guru Maharaj? Last month we gave our name for the online Bhakti Sastri at Mayapur Institute and we are still waiting for the response. We wish we could do the residential one but we have difficulty getting leave of absence for 4 months from work.

HpS - Honestly I do not know much about any on line courses. I don't know about the Mayapura program. If you investigate let us know your results here!!! Very important is to get a Study Partner(s) and do it in association. What about Chowpatti, Govardhana Eco-village???

We are working hard to develop it through our ASA.

We are looking forward for the exchanges between Lima and Imphal. When would be the best time to visit Lima?

HpS - Let us discuss that A LOT while we are in Manipur. We can even get devotees on line from Lima.

Thank you so much for your letter. We hope Krsna sends you many spriritual neighbors. Look at letter to The Yamunesvara Das, no?

Wating for your next letters.

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP. Paoho....

All glories to Guru parampara A.C. Prabhupada, Sripada Maharaja and H H HpS Maharaja

Radha Krsna Ki Jay,Gouranga Maharabhu Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay.

Dandavat Pranam Guru Maharaja,

I have seen Guruji's latest letter to Sarada Gourangi D D and telephonic talk with H H Bhakti Ananda Haridasa Goswami Maharaja and Sarada about the dates of Guru Maharaja's N.E. Visit. As Guruji Maharaja suggested new dates 11-21 March, 2019 is confirmed.

HpS - ASA -- So very nice to hear from you!!! Whenever we think of Manipur we are sad!! You are so fortunate to be there. Little change. Looks like 12th to 22nd now confirmed. We should plan very nice programs together!! Make a movie! Have five good translators.

All the Prabhus and Matajis of other states who were initiated are coming Imphal. For them, Haridasa Goswami is taking the responsibilities. Last time we have decided to arrange a programme in Manipur University Campus but as I had already informed You about the Manipur University crisis for three months. Now University is just running for name sake by Manipur High Court order. So this time also, for any programme it is not possible.

HpS - O.K. Let us take over the work of the University! Arrange good education for those who want it.

We are praying Sri Krsna for Guruji Maharaja's health and successful programme.

Now, Manipur is started winter, and I am continuing Mangal Arrati in my home and following the four rules and regular reading successfully with the asirbad of Guruji Maharaja. We are so happy to know that Guruji Maharaja will stay in Manipur at least 10 days. It is a big boon for us. But for me, I would not be able to serve and accompany with Guruji all the days due to my daughters marriage ceremony.

HpS - What days are those. Why not we all go!! Marriage of Krsna and Rukmini.

For Guruji's tickets, Haridasa Maharaja suggested to collect after Guruji arrived at Mayapur in the month of Jan. 2019.

Yours fallen servant,

HpS - What is Vaisnava calendar for one year for Manipur? What are the festivals? Who are leaders of our Yatra in Manipur?

Querido Gurumaharaja

¡Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias!

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Se acerca la auspiciosa Celebración de Sri Vyasa-Puja y si es posible nos gustaría saber más por favor del tema de lavado de pies o abhiseka a Su persona en esta ceremonia. 

Tiene varios años que escuchamos de Usted que no lo hagamos y somos felices siguiendo Sus instrucciones. También hay vaisnavas que les interesa conocer más del tema y obtener la misericordia. 

Ud nos dijo: 

"Tener nuestros pies lavados es demasiado. ¡Bhaktisiddhanta no lo permitiría y nosotros también lo evitamos!"

Muchas gracias por Su paciencia e instrucciones.

Hoy en la noche Prabhu Maharsi nos atenderá para hablar más de Su visita, fiesta dominical de Srila Prabhupada, etc.

Muchas gracias por Su sagrado tiempo. 

Disculpe nuestras ofensas por favor.

Su eterna aspirante a sirviente 

Asta Sakhi dd.

HpS - Pienso es algo muy particular. En una casa tradicional de la India claro, lava los pies de cualquiere Vaisnava, santo, quien llegan, en el puerto. Pero no tomar la agua en cabeza, al minimo, no en frente del Vaisnava. Oh, no con intenta tomar en la cabeza.

Cuando entiendo personalmente de Srila Prabhupada que debo dejar que la gente me lave los pies y poner la agua en su cabeza, lo haré.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las glorias a usted y mis respetos querido gurudeva.

Vamos hacer el cuarto intento de publicar esta carta ya que no se puede .

Primero que nada agradezco su respuesta y sus felicitaciones !tenemos fecha de parto para el 1 de junio.

Esperemos tener la sabiduría y la fortaleza de educar a nuestro hijo de la manera adecuada bajo las reglas reglas de nuestro muy amado Srila Prabhupada, deseo con el corazón que sea un buen devoto y pueda comprender lo que es la conciencia de Krishna, y a Krishna.

ASA - Super Hombre!

Estoy muy feliz de esta oportunidad que me da Krishna ya que deseaba muchísimo tener un hijo. Me siento llena de amor para poder demostrarlo.

*Estamos felices pero también el cuerpo está sufriendo muchos cambios fuertes y dolores muy bruscos, tratamos de seguir adelante y nos damos cuenta que tener un hijo es un sacrificio muy grande ...

Gracias querido gurudeva por el tiempo de responder mis cartas y esperó verlo en enero en México para su vyasa puja !!! Y que pueda darnos sus bendiciones.

Gracias otra vez por todo su apoyo y su misericordia , no hay un día que no lo recuede y que mi alma se llené de felicidad !

Se despide su sirvienta

Malati dharani dd

ASA - Jaya!!! Compartir buen prasadam con su bebe!!! Lea el libro KRSNA para el. Puede ser una experiencia increible!
