Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna. We just pasted the above into the current draft of Viplavah and made little changes (How long it take you to buy Audi) . Can we mention your good wife's name? Maybe she is to shy or is wanted by Hollywood to star in movies.

CAN YOU PLEASE SEND US SOME STATISTICS eg. hits per month, return hits, etc. etc.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

En respuesta a la carta enviada por Rukmini, quisiera decirle mis ideas sobre esta relación.

Rukmini es para mi la calidad y la futura esposa, por lo que hemos decidido avanzar en el Grihasta ashram formalmente autorizado.

Quería que mi relación avance conociéndonos más en el servicio a Krishna. Sin embargo, debido a las circunstancias familiares que presenta una denuncia estoy saliendo del templo y lo único que me queda es la relación con Rukmini bajo con visión.

Esperando siempre sirviendo a sus pies de loto.

Atentamente,

El servidor más insignificante

HpS - ASA ---  TlgaSP.   Desculpa la demora responder. Los ojos son mucho mejor pero aun no es normal leer del computador. Aun tengo que responder a su carta con algo de dolor, pero es muy importante. Si la familia de ella no es de acuerdo de una relacion honesto en investigacion de entrar en Ashrama de Grhastha y aun Vds. quiere continuar la unica recurso es involucrar la comunidad mas amplio para tomar un perspective mas amplio.

Por ejemplo, posible, con esta perspectiva, la conclusion es que tiene que esperar para esforzar adelantar esta relacion y adelantarlo de una manera mas suave para segurar que es bueno, en los ojos de la familia y la comunidad. Entonces puede esperar un buen experiencia en su Ashrama.

Esforzando hacer algo solo entre Vds. dos, sin aprobacion de seis buen devotos, es casi cierto terminar en un fracaso para ella, y claro la sufrimiento de ella es la cosa que Vd. quiere mas evitar.

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances! 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Gurudeva, a few days ago a mataji asked me if it is possible to download the Srimad Bhagavatam classes that you share in your Twitter account ?

Please, how do we do that ?

Thank you very much!!!

ASA[Uncle Gismo]  - Esteemed Mitravinda Devi Dasi. After 9.337 minutes of inivestigation we learned how to turn on the Download Permission. It seems that todays meeting should be downloadable. Maybe it will only take effect for the meeting tomorrow. Please inform us if this works.

Letter to the Editorial Board:

Hare Krsna, Prabhus,

AGTSP.  paoho.   Attached is the first draft of Viplavah 2018[3]. It is late because we are selfish, hypocritical, little demons and also because of this eye infection.

Saw Doctor Frank Gowota today and he said that was viral conjunctivitis and is mostly cured now but there is still some inflamation of the cornea so take this steroid for about a week and you should be able to see straight again.

Until then the screen looks blurred and it hurts to read and write, but we go on.

So attached is the first draft. It is going to be a good number. Jiva Goswami Das is already joining us as a future Assistant Acting Editor. He is in Houston and is rumored to have a wife and daughter but nobody ever sees them. <img alt="Emoji" data-inlineimagemanipulating="true" height="16" src="https://s.yimg.com/nq/yemoji_assets/latest/yemoji_assets/1f601.png" title="Emoji" width="16" /> He is like the Gopis in Vraja, they think they have husbands.

Please look through it and when you find your name inserted next to "TTD" please do the thing suggested or something vaguely related.

Also, please give General Opinions.

HpS - ASA.

P.S. We are still shooting for a release date of 29th May. I was thinking we can get someone in North America to format it. Caitanya-caritamrta Das in Houston is great candidate. Copy of this letter to him.

Hire Locally.

Hare Krsna, Prabhus and Prabhinis,
TB, here.

We just finished our Daily SB class from the ASA camp in Murfreesboro. Last year at the North American Symposium on Education in Seattle we gave SB class in the morning and noticed how Srila Prabhupada included it as a requirement in our society. Our realization was that all the Bh. Vai., Bh. Vedanta, study systems that we are developing are very weak unless they include, are even based upon regular, daily SB classes amongst the Yatra. That is how we would primarily identify the Yatra. Not primarily as those people who attend worship the the Deities in a certain Templel building.

Of course, this is a big topic, but here we are just giving a summary.

The main thing was that we were tired. We are confused by our Sankirtan battles but as a regulative principle, order of our Spiritual Master, we had to have Daily SB class. We have tried with several different Yatras/Temples to get this going but have not been able to do it. We even went to the local GBC and could not get a satisfying arrangement. Now we are going to two or three other GBCs and the Ministry of Education, and as they also seem to be confunded like this as others, then we have a right to go to Srila Prabhupada directly. We have a right, responsibility to start it here in our ASA. So, we did it.

It was hard.

Yet, we have finished one week.

Have you got a Bhakti-vedanta curriculim going??

No. We are first going to keep our taste and satisfaction in the matter. Then we are going to see how others join us and learn what is there taste and satisfaction and Sankirtan needs and then out of that a natural system will develop. May take some time but it will have a very strong foundation.

That was our deep realization and satisfaction today. We were not attending, doing the class out of our head. It was coming straight from the heart. "Sraddha sabda..." and we were feeling sure that we don't have to think, speculate, at all how to expand the class. The class, Bhakti-yoga, will do that automatically.

Maybe you can join our class. Maybe you can't but then maybe our class will inspire others.

What do you think?

We could say more but what is your perspective?

Hare Krsna,

T. Brown here.

AGTSP  paoho.    How are you?  How is you vehicle?

We have a lot of heat in the body.   Only way to move heat is with heat. Doctor suggests six cups of hot fennel tea each day.  If we keep on dancing, chanting and being happy to the end of this body, then we can do the same thing in Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON life after life.                             .I don't want to kiss Krsna.   Yuck!!!       I want to be eight years old with Krsna and all the boys in Braja, forests, cows, cowherding, playing, discovering, obeying our parents.

See you in Mangala-arati.   We listen to the different Bhajan Kirtan leaders each day and understand so much from listening to them. We try to help their music reach Radharani's ears and also offer ours.
