Letters to the editor

Dear Guru Maharaja 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

The kindle version of the book is ready for publication Maharaja. In order to publish the book, we need to give Amazon a checking account for them to deposit the royalties. They don't have a check option for disbursal of royalties. 

The details needed for the account are

HpS – AGTSP!  I will assume it is O.K. with our President and Treasurer for us to start depositing the money direct unless I hear them howling in the by December 5^th.  Are we risking having our account hacked and all our money stolen? I don’t think more than normally, no?

1.   Account holder name

XXX

2.   Account number

XXX

3.     Routing number

XXX

1.    Name of the bank

XXX

Would it all right if we can use the same checking account for the paperback as well Maharaja? That way, we don't have to pay Amazon a handling fee for the checks.

HpS – Seems fine to us. This is all prototype work. I suggest you, Joshua, and Abhirama Das in Peru set all this up. It may be very easy to handle a lot of this from Peru.

Since the book has a lot of pictures, the file size is close to 68 Mb. Amazon charges a delivery charge of $10.17, if we choose the 70% royalty option. As discussed, I'll select the 35% royalty option with a list price of $5. This give us a royalty of $1.75.

HpS – That is fine, 35%.

Once the account information is entered and we can publish the ebook, it should be available within 72 hours on amazon.com. 

I have updated the ISBN file you sent me with an entry for Twirl Your Beads.

Your servant

Agt Guru and Gauranga.

I am Pandaveya prsni Das

I'm no longer in Nueva Vrajamandala, I'm finishing a basic paramedic course that I started two years ago and I have to finish this year, and order work and family matters. I am traveling now.

HpS - Paramedic! Aparece bueno!

My devotional life is going well thanks to Your mercy. I do not know why but I've had many realizations. Thank you.

I stand up to the Brahma-muhurta, who especially at this time is not very early, 6:15, then I hope it continues like this.

Especially happy Kartika Gurudeva. In the end I could not go to India or South America, I had to postpone it.

I always take you on my way, and I am very happy that you initiated me, I hope this is just the beginning of a great journey together, Gurudeva.

I remember you, from the parikrama of Vrndavan, Govardhana, the earth and its color, and I always there ...

Thank you so much for everything.

Your disqualified servant, Pandaveya prsni Das.

P.D.: Now i am not doing any work at Vedabase because I am travelling, and internet problems, but I will try...just I have seen the letter of Prahlada.

 The smell of wet stone drying

Burned herbs and wood

Cold

 Dry and cold soil. Hard. Stone.

Smell to living room

Incense,

And street air

 Hitting wind

Water that sounds

Background music

Outdoors outside

 I meditate

I associate

Earth smell of moss

A burnt spices

and manure burning

 Jumps

And jumps with blows to the chest

Water,

That sinks us into a well

Full of light

And space

Where are my friends?

Why is this earth presented in forms that are created and lost before my eyes, without meaning?

When will the sun rise in each atom, and there will be only one vision?

Create the Vraja atmosphere and you may see Krsna with His friends passing by. Wave and say, "Hi!".

More news! Hope you meet many nice people and induce them to read and preach, Light of the Bhagavata!!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Le escribo en respuesta de la danza Manipuri que se presentó en Monterrey, cada año se realiza el Festival Internacional de Sta. Lucía y se presentan obras y danza de diferentes países y culturas sobre el Paseo Santa Lucía, este año uno de los invitados fue India presentando "Manipuri Jagoi Marup" con 3 diferentes danzas tuvo buena cantidad de espectadores,  fue una gran experiencia en Kartika de este año.

Por cierto ahora tenemos 20 semanas de embarazo y esperamos nuestro 3er hijo para finales de Marzo del siguiente año, nos confirmaron es un niño también por ahora llevo muy bien mi sadhana, todo va muy bien y sin complicaciones. 

Mi esposo está llevando muy bien su relación con su padre biológico ahora se está haciendo trámites de visa para que mi esposo viaje a Miami donde Raphael vive y puedan tener más tiempo para conocerse. 

Le agrezco su tiempo y mis mejores deseos para su salud 

le comparto algunas fotografías de los eventos con mejor resolución.

HpS - ASA --- Gracias su carta, buena noticias para todos. Sukadeva Goswami era oyendo SB en la vientre de su Mama! Espero Gadadhara Das nos llamara de Miami. Jagoi Marupa = Amigo del Universo. Es uno de las mas antiguas grupos de Manipur.

No mas en el campo, no? Otra vez en la ciudad Vds? Gran programas cultural para distribuir libros?

Hare Krishna Gurudev! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please accept our humble obeisences at Your Lotus feet.

Magic comes in such subtle ways.....we are so happy to receive this blissful news. Its perfectly fine for us to have Guru Maharaj's association from 8th March next year at Imphal. Perhaps a couple of days at Silcar if possible. We discussed with HH Bhakti Ananda Haridas Goswami Maharaj. Just came back from Nabadwip/Mayapur few weeks back . We had wonderful darshan and so many nice, nice classes....Kartik is so special.

We wait eagerly for Guru Maharaj's response. Thank you Guru Maharaj for all Your love and blessings.

Your ignorant servant always,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - ASA --- Thank you very much for your news! Actually our flight out of Bombay is on the 26th March evening. When is Gaura-purnima in Imphal? Maybe we stay until 10th in Kolkatta and then stay until 21st, Gaura-purnima (?) in Imphal. We just talked with Dr. Samaresha and we want to do a book release in Kolkata or Imphal possibly: Siksa Darsha, Education in Ancient India and Man-making in Modern Times. Should we have another education symposium like last visit at the university? A seminar for several days on Upadesamrta? Art and the Sacred in Manipur?

Hare Krsna Beloved and respected Gurumaharaja:

AGTSP PAMHO

Thank U very much for this last visit. I have learned that Vani-seva is much more important than Vapuh-seva, nevertheless I am very glad if I can offer You a garland, etc.

ASA - Paoho… We offered a plate of cookies to Srila Prabhupada!! Maybe you will also!

I wanted to discuss this topic before, because actually I have so many doubts about this topic and personally I have heard from You recently for instance that those who assists at FMP have the priority in the Blog. But I have no heard anything about this topic.

I have 2 main doubts:

·        Older Godbrothers must lead the others HpS Godbrothers in an assembly? For example the oldest in initiation (Brahmana) be the president?, and so on. Currently Palika dd is the Treasurer she has been doing it for years and you know She is a very intelligent, honest lady. I am in charge of the communication area, most of the devotees says that this is because I reply very fast. Hahaha! So most of them agree, I guess, do not, Haha. So we just have 2 departments working, and that's it. So when we have to make important decisions like Vyasa Puja etc, the conflict starts. So what is the most correct way to proceed ???

• The other point is that if it is correct or possible to celebrate The Sri Vyasa Puja of any Guru in ISKCON not the exact day of the Vyasa Puja. For example here one group is suggesting that due to your VP is on Monday and is a difficult day for most of us, celebrate in a more intimately way in a house and then celebrate it in the temple the day of HHR's birthday with guests etc. which may be the best option?

Thank U Gurudeva for this blog in which we can explain our ideas and doubts and get precious feedback

Trying to be your disciple

Candramukhi dd

**************************************************************************************************************

"Thank you very much and all the devotees for offering me a garland daily as you were doing when I was physically present. If a disciple is constantly engaged in carrying out the instructions of his spiritual master, he is supposed to be constantly in company with his spiritual master. This is called vani-seva. So there are two kinds of service to the spiritual master. One is called vani-seva and the other is called vapuh-seva. Vani-seva means ?executing the instruction,' and vapuh-seva means ?physically personally rendering service.' So in the absence of physical presentation of the spiritual master, the vani-seva is more important."

**************************************************************************************************************

HpS - ASA --- We have heard that Srila Prabhupada said that he did not want any "old fools" in his movement. This is someone who for physical age of body or date of initiation is accepted as a leader but in actuality is a fool. Of course, we all know this is true in any institution. No leadership by old fools [or young fools].

On the other hand, if someone is a decent person of course we offer respect for age, but of course, then they appreciate the spiritual development and other qualities of those younger to them and defer to them in practicality.

Who has been applying the process the longest?! "I was initiated 20 years ago but have been following strictly only a total of five years during that time." So can we say that he is only a five year, or even less disciple? How advanced where they from previous life. Amongst real Brahmanas there will be consensus.

Easiest thing would be for someone who wants to organize "the formal Vyasapuja on ISKCON property" to write to us here and make a proposal. Then we could offer out opinion, no?

Informal programs in peoples own homes etc. are informal and don't need much of any approval from anyone.

Is O. K.?

As far as I know the celebration on ISKCON property can be organized at a more convenient date than the actual date.

Also O.K.?

Write to us here about organizing "Disciples" is needed.



This is only test if it is possible to post letter.

ASA - Yes, AGTSP!!! agt your effort. It seems to be working!! If you have the time, we feel any effort that anyone makes toward our preaching is 99.99% mercy, what about the ability like before to Delete incoming and posted letters, and to Edit posted letters?
