Gurudev, I wrote you a letter here a while ago with some minor news.

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15547/

Today I was reading all your responses to my letter history on Monkey Warrior... and the coherence, synchronicity, mysticism, etc., etc., of all your responses to me is incredible.

HpS/ASA - You, agtSP, are like Lord Siva... You see peoples bad qualities as good qualities. 👍

I suppose everyone feels the same way if they reread all their Monkey Warrior letters...

Thank you for everything, Gurudev... my hands are too small to grasp all your mercy.

I apologize for being somewhat absent from the morning show; I was quite unregulated with my schedule last month... I had a fairly active book distribution month (April-May) (through your mercy and SP's, I was able to distribute quite a few books—554 and 10 Bhagavad Gitas—and meet some nice people).

16 rounds and 4 good principles.

Your aspiring servant.

Deva Vrata das

HpS - Thank you. We are always remembering your nice association and just great help as our travel partner.

we hope it can happen again!

We also hope that some people can become book distributors also, not just buying books!

Gurudev, aquí hace un tiempo le escribí una carta con algunas insignificantes novedades 

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15547/

hoy estuve leyendo todas sus respuestas al historial de mis cartas en monkey warrior... y es increíble la coherencia, sincronía, misticismo, etc. etc.... de todas tus respuestas que usted me fuiste dando. 

Supongo que a todos les pasará igual si releen todas sus cartas de monkeywarrior...

Gracias por todo Gurudev... son muy pequeñas mis manos para tomar toda tu misericordia

Le pido disculpas por estar bastante ausente en el programa matutino, estuve bastante desregulado con los horarios el mes pasado... tuve un mes de distribución de libros bastante activo (abril-mayo) (por su misericordia y la de SP pude distribuir bastantes -554 y 10 Bhagavad Gitas-) y conocer gente agradable)

16 rondas y 4 principios bien

Tu aspirante a sirviente

Dear Hanumat Presak Maharaj and all devotees.

Danvats pranams!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We humbly share with you that, together with Jala-dharaka Prabhu, we are founding a civil association called ALAS - Asociación Latinoamericana de Sankirtan (Latin American Sankirtan Association).

This project aims to distribute 60,000 books a year, as well as offer talks focused on mental health and suicide prevention,

teaching students to practice meditation with the Hare Krishna Mahamantra as a tool for inner transformation.

We have currently launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to legalize the association, acquire a vehicle, and purchase books.

Once we obtain international donor status, we will be able to receive financial support from companies in different countries. Our dream is to travel from Mexico to Brazil, carrying Srila Prabhupada's books and chanting the Holy Name. In the second half of this year, we plan to begin our first trip through Central America, and next year we will continue through South America. With great faith and hope, we ask for your blessings for this project, which we hope will be a sincere offering to Srila Prabhupada in service to the sankirtan movement.

We also share our social media accounts so you can see more details about the project: https://www.facebook.com/share/12GxPVUuj5i/ https://www.instagram.com/asociacion.alas?igsh=bXNudmNodW41YTNn

Your humble servants, Jaya Gauranga dasa Founder of ALAS Jaladharaka dasa Co-founder of ALAS

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Have we met before? We don't have any recollection of your good self.

Have you done book distribution like this before?

Thank you!!!

All best wishes.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva.

Pamho. AGTSP.

Because of the day of your Vyasapuja, I have created a poetry, in Spanish, since it came to me like this. It is not of good quality but I put all my heart in it.

Above all, it contains my feeling of gratitude and affection.

HpS - So sorry we have taken so long to read this!!! 😥

Let us see how Google Translates it.

Then we can read the original in Spanish by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, Radha Govinda candra and Miguel Cervantes.

Querido maestro, hoy te celebramos con alegría,

Tu luz ha disipado nuestras dudas y temores,

como el río que fluye, lleno de amor y sabiduría.

y en tu ejemplo hallamos la fuerza para enfrentar los dolores.

Tu fe inquebrantable nos guía como estrella brillante,

Nos has mostrado el sendero hacia la paz y la verdad,

con cada palabra, tu misericordia es constante,

y por eso, hoy, te agradecemos con toda nuestra humildad.

Tu amor es la espada que corta la oscuridad, 

tu humor, el bálsamo que calma la herida. 

Eres el reflejo de Srila Prabhupada, 

quien nos mostró que la vida no está perdida. 

En tu corazón resplandece la misericordia, 

y como Sancho Panza a Don Quijote, fiel y sabio, 

nos acompañas con alegría y concordia, 

en cada paso, en cada acto, sin ningún agravio. 

Tu lucha no es contra gigantes, sino contra sombras,

y con tu amor has derribado toda muralla,

guiándonos con fuerza y ternura en nuestras obras,

hacia el hogar eterno, hacia la paz que nunca falla.

La muerte no es el fin, sino solo un paso más, 

en el viaje eterno hacia el hogar de Krishna, 

donde la luz divina nos espera en paz, 

y todo lo que es, se vuelve amor y dicha. 

Gracias por tu guía, tu fe inquebrantable, 

por mostrarnos que la vida es un camino hacia el amor. 

Tu ejemplo nos eleva, noble y venerable, 

en tu luz encontramos nuestro ardiente clamor. 

Que en este día, maestro, reciba tu alma 

la gratitud inmensa de aquellos que te siguen, 

porque tú eres el faro que ilumina y calma, 

y bajo tu cobijo, el viaje a Dios prosigue.

Dear Master, today we celebrate you with joy.

Your light has dispelled our doubts and fears,

like a flowing river, full of love and wisdom.

And in your example, we find the strength to face our sorrows.

Your unwavering faith guides us like a shining star.

You have shown us the path to peace and truth.

With every word, your mercy is constant.

And for that, today, we thank you with all our humility.

Your love is the sword that cuts through the darkness.

Your humor is the balm that soothes the wound.

You are the reflection of Srila Prabhupada,

who showed us that life is not lost.

Mercy shines in your heart,

and like Sancho Panza to Don Quixote, faithful and wise,

you accompany us with joy and harmony,

in every step, in every act, without any grievance.

Your fight is not against giants, but against shadows,

and with your love you have torn down every wall,

guiding us with strength and tenderness in our works,

toward the eternal home, toward the peace that never fails.

Death is not the end, but only one more step,

on the eternal journey toward Krishna's home,

where the divine light awaits us in peace,

and all that is, becomes love and joy.

Thank you for your guidance, your unwavering faith,

for showing us that life is a path toward love.

Your example uplifts us, noble and venerable one,

in your light we find our ardent cry.

May on this day, Master, your soul receive

the immense gratitude of those who follow you,

for you are the beacon that illuminates and calms,

and under your shelter, the journey to God continues.

HpS - ASA --- Again and again we thank Srila Prabhupada who picks us up again and again after we fall in the dust and gives us a little package to carry to our Mother and Radha and Krsna.

Is this a good translation: https://www.jayarama.us/archives/vdm-sp.docx ?

Right after that is the original English.

So great!

Maybe greatest book we know. To sit beside KRSNA book.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj. Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet.

We celebrated Vyasa Puja at Thoubal today. Our godbrother Yamuneswar Prabhuji made such arrangements and offerings for the Vyasa Puja. We feel ecstatic the way your good self takes care of us. Feeling Guru Maharaj's presence every moment. How fortunate we are to be blessed by the sweet Lord to be initiated by our Guru Maharaj.

The Bhajans were offered by the Matajis. The Guru Puja and Charan Abhishek were offered by H. G. Banamali Das Prabhuji. H. G. Dushari Gopal Prabhu gave details about Guru Maharaj's enthusiasm in participating in Sri Radha Kund cleaning. We got to listen to nectarean glorification of Guru Maharaj from devotees and we feel immensely blessed.

We offered humble Manipuri prasadam and a cake. Please accept our humble offerings on the 76th Vyasa Puja. Please give us the mercy and the blessings to serve you eternally dear Guru Maharaj.

In the last letter, Guru Maharaj asked about Vrindavan...Guru Maharaj our desire is to serve Guru Maharaj eternally , as only Guru Maharaj can lead us to join the nitya Leela...merciful Gurudev...you opened my eyes to a world of unimaginable bliss....baarambaram pranam.

We are sending some pics. And annual report. Thank you Guru Maharaj.

Your insignificant servant,

Sarad Gaurangi DD

HpS - We feel so so sad that Manipur is not able to share its glories more and more.

Maybe Bhagya candra Maharaja will incarnate in ISKCON.

Please send more news from Manipura.

So many respects to you all.

Feliz Vyasapuja!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Nityananada que es misericordioso con regalarnos la conexión con el movimiento de sankirtana aún sin merecerlo!

Quiero ofrecer mis respetos a ud, que alumbra con su luz al mundo en este día de su auspiciosa aparición en este plano de la existencia!

Rezo a Sri Nrisimha lo proteja mucho como a Pralada maharaja, y nos de valentía para caminar con las enseñanzas que los Acaryas le han revelado y comparte con todos.

Estuvimos en ferias de Libros y ayudamos a los discípulos de maharaja Praladhananda Swami a distribuir su libro de salud, publicado, en su visita a Perú.

Maya me atrapa y juega conmigo, más no borrará, (ruego a Sri Nityananada) mi gratitud a ud y Srila Prabhupada! Mis seres amados. No entiendo los misterios de la vida, pero siempre hay libros de SP que puedo compartir, todo gracias a ud, y soy feliz!

Mi corazón a sus pies!

TLGASP!

Happy Vyasapuja!

All glories to Sri Nityananada, who is merciful in giving us the connection to the sankirtana movement, even though we don't deserve it!

I want to offer my respects to you, who illuminates the world with your light on this day of your auspicious appearance on this plane of existence!

HpS - AgtSP!!! Paoho.

I pray that Sri Nrisimha protects you as he did Pralada Maharaja, and gives us the courage to walk with the teachings that the Acaryas have revealed to you and that you share with everyone.

We were at book fairs and helped Maharaja Praladhananda Swami's disciples distribute his published health book during his visit to Peru.

ASA - So nice!

Maya catches me and plays with me, but she will not erase (I pray to Sri Nityananada) my gratitude to you and Srila Prabhupada! My loved ones. I don't understand life's mysteries, but there are always SP books I can share, all thanks to you, and I'm happy!

My heart at your feet!

HpS - Sorry so slow to answer these Vyasapuja letters, but our energy is low. Still it is so nice to hear from devotees!!!

Please send more news from Goloka as you receive it!

All respects to your friends and relations.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, muchas gracias por su respuesta a mi anterior carta.

Copie lo que me respondió y lo traduje con google traductor.

HpS... podemos reiterar lo que le dijimos a Candra-mukhi Devi Dasi sobre el mismo tema.

Según nuestro entendimiento del libro de KRSNA, las Gopis viven en tres niveles y esto se puede aplicar perfectamente a ISKCON:

1. Son buenos ciudadanos de la aldea de Nanda Maharaja. Pagan sus impuestos, intercambian el precio del yogur. Se quejan de lo que consideran incorrecto. Esto es ISKCON a nivel institucional.
2. Tienen su círculo de amistades dentro de la institución. El amigo más cercano del Presidente del Templo puede ser el lavaplatos del Templo. Las gopis miran a su alrededor para ver quién las observa ordeñando vacas y luego empiezan a hablar confidencialmente con otras gopis, sus hermanos, etc.
3. Cada uno de ellos experimenta una relación directa con Krishna. Claro que esto se da a través de muchos medios transparentes, pero esos medios son transparentes, incluso inconscientemente. Nosotros, tú, yo, debemos estar experimentando una relación transparente y directa con Srila Prabhupada. Por la naturaleza de tu potencia interna, eres el discípulo más íntimo de Srila Prabhupada. En nuestro servicio como guru en ISKCON, solo intentamos actuar como ese medio.

¿Quizá estos entendimientos solo sean para devotos avanzados?

A mi me puede tomar mucho tiempo en comprender todo esto, quizá a otros devotos menos.

Hemos estado y estamos viviendo esto personalmente y conocemos a otros que también lo han estado.

¿También?

¡Nunca abandones el ISKCON de SRILA PRABHUPADA!

No puedo dejar Iskcon, aunque algunas veces lo estuve pensando, pero es muy difícil dejar Iskcon, no hay otra cosa mejor que Iskcon, no hay!!!

Nunca tengas miedo de actuar con entusiasmo, valentía y honestidad, para servir en los tres niveles.

Si hay problemas en la Institución, entonces tal vez estén allí simplemente para lograr que los devotos peruanos hagan mejoras, resuelvan problemas que guiarán al mundo entero.

¡No existe ninguna restricción para que usted tome Sannyasa y se convierta en Presidente del GBC!

Hace unos años atrás seguí muchos consejos de tener una vida tipo Vanaprastha, por más que lo intente no funciono en mi persona, ahora en la actualidad y conociendo mi naturaleza nunca tomaría sannyasa.

Es muy importante conocerse a uno mismo, y aceptar su realidad, en lo personal si me tengo que volver a casar o ser Grihasta me casaría, si tengo que tener hijos los tendría, uno no puede reprimir sus sentidos auto-engañándose, mis sentidos, tengo deseos sexuales, no es un tabú, no puedo auto-engañarme, no puedo tapar el sol con un dedo, claro tampoco estoy desesperado, es una lucha a diario.

Para que alguien tome Sannyasa tiene que tener muchas características astrológicas en su carta astral, las cuales yo no tengo.

¿Si uno se conoce a si mismo, tendría que actuar de acuerdo a ello o tendría que ir en contra de su naturaleza?

Bueno Guru Maharaja me despido que el Señor Nrsimha lo proteja siempre y le pido que me perdone cualquier ofensa en mi comentario y en mis preguntas.

Hare Krishna.

Gadai Gauranga Dasa.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja, please accept my respectful obeisances. Thank you very much for your response to my previous letter.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!!! paoho.

I copied what you replied and translated it with Google Translate.

HpS... can we reiterate what we told Candra-mukhi Devi Dasi on the same subject?

According to our understanding of Krishna's book, the gopis live on three levels, and this can be perfectly applied to ISKCON:

They are good citizens of Nanda Maharaja's village. They pay their taxes, exchange the price of yogurt. They complain about what they consider wrong. This is ISKCON at the institutional level.

They have their circle of friends within the institution. The closest friend of the Temple President may be the Temple dishwasher. The gopis look around to see who is watching them milking cows and then begin to talk confidentially with other gopis, their brothers, etc.

Each of them experiences a direct relationship with Krishna. Of course, this happens through many transparent means, but those means are transparent, even unconsciously. We—you and I—must be experiencing a transparent and direct relationship with Srila Prabhupada. By the nature of your internal potency, you are Srila Prabhupada's closest disciple. In our service as a guru in ISKCON, we only try to act as that medium.

Perhaps these understandings are only for advanced devotees?

HpS - Different levels of understanding these things, but I think that even at the level of 1st initiation one can experience a direct relationship with Srila Prabhupada.

It may take me a long time to understand all this, perhaps less so for other devotees.

We have been and are experiencing this personally, and we know others who have as well.

Also?

Never leave Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON!

I can't leave ISKCON, although I've sometimes thought about it, but it's very difficult to leave ISKCON. There is nothing better than ISKCON, there isn't!

Never be afraid to act with enthusiasm, courage, and honesty, to serve at all three levels.

If there are problems in the Institution, then perhaps they are there simply to encourage Peruvian devotees to make improvements, to solve problems that will guide the entire world.

There are no restrictions for you to take Sannyasa and become President of the GBC!

A few years ago, I followed a lot of advice about living a Vanaprastha-type life. Try as I might, it didn't work for me. Now, knowing my nature, I would never take sannyasa.

It's very important to know yourself and accept your reality. Personally, if I had to remarry or become a Grihasta, I would. If I had to have children, I would. One cannot repress one's senses by deceiving oneself. My senses. I have sexual desires. It's not a taboo. I can't deceive myself. I can't hide the sun with a finger. Of course, I'm not desperate either; it's a daily struggle.

For someone to take Sannyasa, they must have many astrological characteristics in their birth chart, which I don't have.

If one knows themselves, should they act accordingly or go against their nature?

ASA - 🐵 😆 😆 😆 - Like Krsna advises Arjuna, we should purify our nature and then use it in Krsna's service, no?

Well, Guru Maharaja, I bid you farewell. May Lord Nrsimha always protect you. I ask you to forgive any offenses in my comments and questions.

Hare Krishna.

Gadai Gauranga Dasa.

HpS - So, nice. Thank you.

Hope you get chance to get out OUR O U T with Srila Prabhupada on Sankirtan. See you in a few moments.
