Letters to the editor

Uncle Gismoe is leased with you.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, AGTSP!

All glories to Disciple Succesion!

I hope the health of your body is better.

Regarding your health, I have a query: Why is there no heating in your sanyasi ashrama house? Are there problems installing heating?

I know that you are very predisposed to do austerities and everyone's duty is to take care of their health.

Please perdon me my offenses

HpS - AGTSP! Paoho.... No! There is heating. The whole building: (https://www.bing.com/search?q=902+hillcrest+murfreesboro+tennessee&form=EDGTCT&qs=PF&cvid=f801d7f295d843a6b99e87a2076ec299&refig=0fe2a208d2654c8fd6207bd6b62c8392&cc=US&setlang=en-US&PC=HCTS) click on the picture, is not heated, but the small room where we work and the bathroom have electric heaters. They are O.K. They are a little rough. Some cold air comes in, but it is O.K. We wear a sweater as needed. Thank you! Hope your bodily situation is peaceful!!

UUU He Lawww!

We (Tom Brown, Buck White) ate to many Tamales during the Sunday Feast! Too many simple wonderfuls! Yet, we prayed to Krsna, God, and Guru, to honor Prasadam nicely.

We really suspect from Srila Prabhupada's example etc. that really honoring Prasadam perfectly only goes on in Vaikuntha.

Try to satisfy your lusts once a week, Sunday, and then live a Yoga life the other days. Can we become Raghunatha Das Goswami in this life?

We heard that Srila Prabhupada said, that if you try to imitate the austerities of Raghunatha Das Goswami you will become sinful! O.K. How auster can we become? It is a science! The biggest science: How to honor Prasadam.

1) Chant Hare Krsna all the time you eat.

2) Take the remnants of Vaisnavas in terms of NOI 5 and 6.

3) Chant and Dance first!

4) Cook for Krsna with more and more love.

O.K. 8.02PM. Long day. Long meeting with Dr. Samaresh, Abhaya (Accountant for NIOS!). Jaya Krsna Das et al. See you in Sankirtan! 1728+++

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....
