Hare Krsna,
AGTSP paoho.
Here we sit in the Berkeley Temple room. It is 6PM. We are camped in a little. corner of the B'cari ashrama. We had to use our ingenuity. to bath.
We know so many old devotees here. Rathayatra was tough, but success. Now we are getting ready for the evening program. We may get a room later.
Hare Krsna.
Hare Krsna.
God is love.
All Glories to A. C. Prabhupada, Sripada and Sri Guruji Maharaja.
Guruji Maharaja, Dandabat Pranam,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that I had written several letters but no answer. At first I thought that Guruji might be busy, so no answer. I daily open this blog and see Gurujis reply of other Bhaktas. Mostly all letters are written URJENT but I had never written URJENT in my previous letters.
Today I honestly asking unto Gurujis padmacharan that whether Guruji never get my previous letters or not.
I thought that one day Guruji will reply my letter so I am waiting. It is only my duty.
Excuse me for any mistakes if I had committed.
Yours fallen servant,
Yamunesvara Das
HpS - Hare Krsna. AGTSP. Paolo. We are traveling now and we talk with maybe 10, 15, 25 or more devotees daily, so we can only answer letters marked, URGENT, for certain. Others we try to answer as our ability permits. We explained this the Kapi Dhvaja and in the DTCs.
It makes us sad that we cannot communicate better. When we get a chance like this to think of you and Manipur, Thoubal, Tasha Govinda-candra we become even more sad. We hope Krsna makes an arrangement that we have time to write more soon.
If there are any URGENT news or questions then do write them to us with URGENT in the Subject Field.
Hare Krsna,
Hare Krsna.
Kolaveca Sridhar Das is waiting at the door. We will pick up 5 more devotees and drive to Cupertina, about 45-minutes from here. Evening program.
We edited Rathyatra Prayers of Lord Caitanya into one file for tonight. We just uploaded it to Jayarama.us. Look in the Archives. Then in the folder, "ABC Year".
Our life is PACKED. We are keeping healthy at heart, but of course, so much stress traveling, preaching. We are talking with tons of devotees daily. Here in San Jose, with Vaisesika Das, Srivasa pandita, Balimardana, Ananadavrndavana, Balarama, Abhaya, Sridhar Das, Dasi..
Last night Harinama Sankrtan in Palo Alto. Stanford it there and the Harinama is on main street full of interesting shops, restaurants, clubs, cinemas... SUper cultural. People have PhDs left and right. Vais. has organized lights, videos, meditation tent.... So much preaching.
O.K.
We are looking toward, Rathayatra tomorrow, Boise, Spain, Peru . . . Chile.
Again. We try to answer mail, but traveling it seems only secure we can get to this letters labele, URGENT.
Pamho: mis reverencias maharaja.
El motivo de esta carta es a causa de ABC DAS. El se a estado comportando muy mal hace ya mucho tiempo que a estado molestando a XYZ Devi Dasi. ABC DAS acosa a XYZ Devi Dasi las autoridades an querido hablar con el y se a portado irrespetuoso con ellos. ABC DAS quiere estar con XYZ Devi Dasi el mismo lo a dicho pero XYZ Devi Dasi hace años le a hecho saber que no quiere nada con el y el no entiende, busca a familiares y amigas de XYZ Devi Dasi para molestarla. El me dijo que estaba enamorado de XYZ Devi Dasi pero no es asi el esta obsecionado con XYZ Devi Dasi ella no quiere nada con el. Hemos llegado al extremo de taparla en el templo porque ABC DAS se para al fondo del templo a molestarla . Ella ya ni quiere bailar en el templo ya que se siente incomoda. El dijo que solo su guru podia quitarle el discipulo es por eso que le escribo a usted, el no debe comportarse asi, no solo a molestado a XYZ Devi Dasi a otras madres tambien pero no quieren que se diga su nombre de las otras madres pidieron discrecion pero en este caso si hablo por XYZ Devi Dasi a quien queremos proteger. Hay muchos otros detalles sobre este tema que creo que se debe de solucionar. ABC DAS no a sido sincero. Esperamos que esto se pueda hablar. XYZ Devi Dasi esta dispuesta a hablar sobre este tema. Disculpe por hablarle de este tema, pero es el unico que puede hablarle a ABC DAS . A los demas no quiere hacer caso . Esperamos que XYZ Devi Dasi se sienta proteguida y pueda estar tranquila. Mis reverencias maharaja , muchas gracias.
HpS - ASA -- TLGASP. Muchas gracias su carta. Hemos cambiado los nombres de los involucrados porque esta Blog no es sitio para hablar de detalles tan confidencial. Pienso el manera adelantar esta tema para la bienestar de todo es que Vd. habla con el Presidente del Templo como el puede comunicar junta con Vd a nuestra direction de Yahoo particular. El lo tiene.
Si hay cualquiere obstaculo realizar esta sendero escriba otra vez aqui.
Otra vez, muchas gracias su carta.
Por gracia de Krsna vamos a resolver esta problema como todos pueden ser tranquilo en la conciencia de Krsna juntos.
Hare Krsna.
Yesterday like 4-lecture and three dialogs with 40-interfaith vistors, Goswami Academy Teacher's Education, ASA Daily SB class, Temple President, RGD and RKDas about Sastric education. And today almost the same.
Just can't get t regular mail while traveling very well.
Put URGENT in the field if it is or talk to us when we come to your center.
Tomorrow we go to San Jose.
Thursday we change from Startmeeting.com to gotomeeting.com meeting id 737 859 341 may work.
Hare Rama
Dear Maharaja,
pamho agtsp
Apologies for not replying earlier to your last reply. We received immediately and took note of the contents, but have been slow to reply. I declined the speaking invitation on your behalf. No issues there at all. We look forward to doing what we can to assist once your calendar is set.
HpS - Any attention from you all is wonderful. We are waiting until 20th August for Bhag bazaar Gaudiya Matha to make any final decision on the symposium at the end of November, but really looks like it will not happen. Then we are thinking of coming to India from 15 January to 30 March. O.K.??
We have had a challenging few weeks. My better half, Dhanesvari DD, has spent time in hospital and has been on a lot of antibiotics for a mother related health issue. Thank Krishna we have reached stability again now and her health has improved.
HpS - All this is education from Krsna. If we are 16/4 then Krsna can arrange everything! Hope she benefited very well.
I am currently working on several essays for university. Oh, I didn’t tell you yet. I transferred into a philosophy/theology degree. There are two main reasons for this. The first being that the amount of austerity required to complete the computer science degree I was enrolled in (too much general IT stuff) was not justifiable considering the role I have in the sankirtan movement and in career also (which to me is the same thing), the role as an educator.
ASA - That sure seems O.K. to us!
The second, and more deeply rooted reason, being somehow I have cursed myself to approach Krishna through jnana-mishra-bhakti. This is obviously a result of my impersonalism towards Krishna. Anyway, one essay I am currently working on is challenging John Paul Sartre’s 'Nothingness’ that is consciousness, which his whole materialistic existentialism is built upon and which he denies, without good argument, has any non-material foundation or any links to God. I will point out that it’s still a dualism and calling something ‘nothing’ simply shows you don’t understand it. I will present this in a concealed, detached and “academic” way of course. Another essay I am working on is an investigation into Socrates’ relationship with his daemon, his inner voice, his conscience or even possibly the paramatma, who was his guide in his decision making and without whom, according to Plato, Socrates would not have become Socrates.
ASA - Wow!
Although the aforementioned writing tasks are taking my attention, my wife and I are still enthusitaicglly working on the Sacred Art of Indigenous Australians article for Solaris and the presentation for October. We will forward the article to Sriman Abhirama Prabhu on completion. I will most certainly incorporate the Bhagavatam verse you kindly forwarded. https://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/8/5/33
Hope this meets you in good health.
We are chanting Hare Krishna and meditation on how to serve better.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Dhruvananda D
Dhanesvari DD
HpS - And the kids and mothers and fathers and.... ! We are working to assemble Solaris so an article by the end of this month for the magazine is great. Not the finished presentation. Just a presentation of your results so far and where your investigation is taking youi.
