Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev, 

Like it happened me before once, I just delete my long post here, this time clicking Delete all the tabs to the right, but this time I took it much more better. I don't know if Im just in a better mood or really the krodha in the heart is diminishing. So, anyway, I'm going again, still with the Urgent tag but now much shorter and precise.

The letter is urgent because you mention the video in the last Kapi Dhvaja and due you are in India, it would be useful if some people could see the summary of the event there.

Learning

Certainly, if we want more videos and better, besides invest more, we should give the guidances to the video maker/editor before the event and with more detail.

ASA - Super, Super, Super. You can see we are pushing Education and the Sacred in San Marcos in Peru. Plan to go to Peru and Argentina in June July.

Personal

We are happy, Carolina is happy with Rasarani, and all the doctors say that she is very strong and is growing up very fast. Our interest in going deeper in our understanding of the Krsna Consciousness is increasing. This is very interesting sensation. We are eager to know more and more about Krsna and just that, is a source of joy. Sometimes we feel that we advancing a little faster than before. This feeling is a Maya trap also?

ASA - No.

Finally, I can't say goodbye, without saying to you that Your association is one the wonderful things in the year, every year. We had the crazy idea to go with you to India this time, and try to contact Radhanath Swami at Mumbai this year with Carolina and Rasarani. We recover our sanity after a while.

Please accept my attempt of humble obeisances. 

Your servant, Jagad Guru Das.

Hare Krishna.

HpS - !!!! Hope the Kapi dhvaja has enough news for you. You efforts and communication are wonderful: Rodrigo, Arjuna, Carlos, ladies!!! Everyone in Chile is such great devotees. Parasurama, Vsvanatha, Amara, Machiavelli . . . . . . . . . Become self realized, build your character and preach.

Hare Krishna Dear Gurumaharaja,

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

Can you add "Or Click Here to Browse for Photos" to where it says "Drag photos here". 

Done.

To make things more easy I have added one button on letter create page. So there is now 'Save' and 'Save & Attach Photos'. So if somebody uses second one he is directly sent to photo upload page.

There is also new menu item 'My letters' in top menu (next to 'Sign out'). It redirects to page where are letters from specific user.

Fixed bug edit page of letter when 'Letter type' was empty if letter has more than one type.

Mini report

Few weeks ago mangala arati attendance in our temple was not so big (2-3 people). Now we are up to 14 devotees there. 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒 🐒

I rented table in coworking place. It is 4 minutes walk from Govinda Restaurant, where my wife works. It is very nice space here and very good mood for working. And all people here love Caitanya/sezami halva :)

Started to develop offline reader on Android. Later will work on iOS, Windows, Mac and Linux too. And people will be able to create own library packages with own texts. Still long way to have it released, but I am already using it for reading.

The Supreme Undifferentiated Absolute Commando of ASA has therefor bestowed the Golden Banana of Everlasting Fame upon P. N. Das. May he prosper and go to Goloka ASAP!

I am very happy for the award and that I can be somehow useful.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

HpS - ASA --- Actually we all fall at your feet and thank you for your mercy. It is so great that we cannot properly describe it. It keeps ASA alive. Wait for more news as it comes. Best wishes for all your Sankirtan.

Peru letter not yet received by me.

Monkey Piggy answer:

Yes! ☹ I don't know what has happened with them after I started this travel. Only 5% contact. When I hear this it gives me INTENSE stomach pain. I have to ask, "Am I doing my best? Am I choosing right priorities?"

Only one day and I am 75% adapted to local Asrama function! Not an easy task. 🐘

Spent two hours with Gauranga Darshan Das Brahmacari. He is biggest curriculum development scholar in ISKCON. Over 6-hundred pages of didactic material. Tomorrow and next day two hours more including his students and teachers. 😲

Can't use someone else's phone here! No towers!

Help!

Hare Krsna. Internet may fail at any moment so we write fast.

We are in Gujurat at Atmarama Das school. It is in the country with 16-acres, 50-cows and 120 students. It has dropped a lot since when it started there was only his school with English media and now there are 50. People have become much more materialistic and want High Tech educaiton for the children. Dont want them to work with cows!

Is a lot of stress for us.

Packed with travel and programs.

Now so many devotees want us to join their programs ans squeeze in air trip here and there but our body cannot handle it. We live on the edge of reality with the full morning program as a life and death choice. We are waiting for Rama-giridhari Das to come back from an unexpected trip to organize local Rathyatra. We may miss our trip to the Eco-village.

Hare Krsna!

The Holy Names and Guru-padma are our only shelter.

Internet has not been too good, so our ASA daily workshops are not too good.

In the time between the five programs a day we work on the essay for the Gaudiya-matha program.

It has come off pretty good - writing academic papers in the middle of a rowboat in the middle of the ocean.

O.K. Close here before the inter net goes.

Yahoo blocked our mail but seems o.k. now.

Insanity in a bag. Ha! Ha! Hare!

Another endless day. Up at 11.30pm. Answered 23-letters including sending itinerary to GM. Then Yahoo blocked my mail because they thought some one had hacked it from India. Took about one hour to resolve that. Them out from 8.30-6.30 for home, academic, temple programs and finally three hours dancing in Rathayatra.

Good night

Hare Krsna, Prabhus,

AgtSP. Paoho.

Three in the morning in RGDD flat in New Mumbai. It is a little warm. Our eyes have reached their limit working on our article for the Gaudiya-matha symposium.

Jet lag, travel, we are working pretty well. Already the programs are beginning to sprout up around us. Rtu-Raja Das et al coming to join us. Have this moment to write to you.

Trip from USA was long and hard even Business Class, but was O. K. Now get internet access, contact sponsors. We depend on you all. At this point we are 90% responding to the environment and only little bit able to keep our personal identity by chanting Hari Nama within our self.

O. K. bath and drive to FMP at the Temple.

Thank you.
