Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It's quiet, on this morning of Srila Advaita Acharya's appearance day.  We just finished reading about his life from the book "Five Features of God" by Satyaraja prabhu.  Now, it is quiet and I am alone, contemplating my existence.  There is more physical pain in my body: muscular tightness all over my back and hips; my knees feel sore and the soles of my feet feel somewhat numb.  I am wondering if I don't have an early case of diabetes because of these things.  I am keeping these health concerns quiet from my wife, as I don't want her to weigh in on my maladies at this time.

In my mind I am reflecting how old my body is, how my life is now mostly behind me, and my regrets for having spoiled my life with so much sense gratification.  My persistence to maintain my sadhana has been a saving grace. and the Bhagavad gita gatherings have also been priceless.  I feel so much gratitude that I was able to practice Krishna consciousness in this life, in spite of being such a poor example of a devotee.  I feel pain in my heart because of such weak devotion, and that in turn causes both my wife and I so much anxiety.  Sometimes in my heart I feel tears, lamenting that I want to be a better devotee, but am too weak to be more serious.  Sometimes I feel the urge to improve and increase my determination, but maya very cleaverly puts some obstacle of temptation in front of me to discourage me.  

I decided to write these thoughts down before my chanting of Bhagavad gita this morning because of the gravity that fills my mind at present; knowing that if I wait until after my reading, that the mood won't be there, and I will wish I had trusted my gut feelings.  I think of you often, all the preaching that you are doing; feeling jealous because I want to do some nice service like you.  What am I to do, given all the sinful desires of my heart?  My only solace is my personal and private place of worship and sadhana.  

I need to go now; very busy day and I want to return to my Bhagavad gita before resuming my worldly affairs:Haribol.

Your lowly servant,

Balabhadra Dasa

HpS - AgtSP!    Paoho...   How can I do things better now. That seems to be the only standard, no?   How many devotees were initiated with me in the same letter, at the same Yajna?   Where are they now?

What about Sannyasa?

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

PAMHO

I can not stand that Nanuk or anyone else insults U.. GRRRRR.

You are very merciful and a gentleman.. Grrrr when these things happen I really forget I am in a female body.

Is it possible to block letters from Him? On twitter, Facebook,instagram we can do that. So we can avoid these kind of stuff.

Grrrrrr

May the Lord protect him... I am not having nice thoughts about her mother grrrr and him

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho    We wrote about this in another letter to PND.  We have like "blocked". We told him we weren't gonna read his letters for a few weeks because of Taboo language.

If Ulysses could talk do you think he would always be a gentleman?  Or maybe say a few doggish things.  We have monkey in our hear still!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva
AGTSP.. PAMHO

I am writing this letter due to many devotees are aproaching me.. With this issue

"I am not chanting my rounds, I feel discouraged, with no enthusiam, I feel like a looser, I am even not chanting my gayatris"

So I just told them to find their enthusiam in their intelligence. They reply I am not intelligent.

HpS - Then associate with someone who is intelligent. Read Srila Prabhupada's books for one minute, five minutes for...

Umm so I told them to start making a vow little by little until reaching again the 16 rounds on ekadasi and take full shelter of Nitai during his appearance day.

But mostly they are worried of going to hell, be punished or not be forgiven

So May U be so kind and add something more

Thank U all so much

ASA - Not really. This is about all we know. If we don't read Srila Prabhupada's books. Associate with devotees who read. Don't chant any Japa then it can be hard. It's a kind of choice we have to make.

Can't do that, then do Karma yoga: Paint, cook, administrate for Prabhupada, ISKCON devotees. Join the Kirtan.

If people want Krsna (kiss x kiss x kiss) then He is sticking His little feet out everywere. Just do something!!     And that will grow.

Can't do that then become a Jehovah's Witness. No joke. Some of our disciples have done it and found enthusiasm and like Krsna and ISKCON.

Can't do that then better buy some sun tan lotion....   it can be sunny in hell.  <img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" />

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accpet my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dhruva (from Australia) wrote me today that many devotees are disturbed by Nanuk.

I myself still think he is not human, but computer script which randomly generates messages (with some keywords relevenat to this blog). In best he is human which uses scripts to generate nonsense messages.

Seems it started to use vulgar words recently.

Can I block him?

HpS- ASA -- AGTSP paoho.  Hare Krsna. Was so nice to talk with you about this.

He actually logged on to one our Bh Sastri workshops. He has a human body and seems also a nice heart.

Because the last letters had such Taboo words we responded that we weren't going to read his mail for a few weeks.

Ha!  Ha!     It sounds like 5-year old kids arguing.

We find his science stuff interesting. We used to build Tesla coils etc. If he stays within the range of non-taboo English then we certainly like to have some dialog with him. For us he represents a certain part of the planet that we want to serve eg. The Poison Conspiracy. Because of him we researched it and got in touch with the devotee, whom we greatly respect, who wrote the rebuttal.

O.K.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS!
Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet, sweet Lotus feet!!
HpS - Lotus feet we do not greet, but looking at them from our desk-top seat, at least they are not cancerous or nor swollen.

Hare Krishna dear Maharaj,

Thank you so much for the reply. Thank you so much for giving us this great opportunity to serve the devotees of Tennessee....Radha-Krishnachandra longs to give darshan.....you are making us cry!!!

HpS - ASA -- I think Monkey is peeling onions.

Is there a remote chance of getting Guru Maharaj's darshan at Manipur this year? 

October will not be cold....will be pleasant....even if it rains...maybe a little bit. It would perhaps be the best time..mid oct would be beginning of Kartik. We would go house to house singing Damodara Astakam ...like last year. We can arrange a pilgrimage tour  visiting the significant Vaishnava temples here. Please instruct us what best can be done for the devotees once they reach here. Guru Maharaj ...we will try our best. 

Usually I visit Nabadwip and Vrindavan in the month of Kartik. Please let us know the itinerary so that we may adjust our timings.

Yesterday....Sunday kirtan was ecstatic....a little disturbed in the beginning when a drunk man kept following and teasing....at the end he also started dancing with the prabhujis!!

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi Devi Dasi

HpS - Even a dog can take part and dance in ecstacy.  O.K.  We will discuss the tour tonight with NGD. Of course, he and maybe others will be Medical Doctors, so we can also work on anothe educational symposium.

Hare Krsna, Gurudev Maharaja!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sripada, and Guru Parampara, Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay, Radha Krsna Ki Jay. Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja!

I have downloaded Gurujis amritabani reply of my previous letters. I am so happly to get Guruji’s reply and I thing I am just siting with Guruji’s and discussing about different topics. I had narrated Bhagavatam 9:15:1-15 last Sunday in the Radha Krsna Mandir, Thoubal. In sloka no. 12 Translation : Satyavati later became the sacred river Kausiki to pirify the entire world, ………What is the full story? How human being became river? Is it any crush or boon from a God or Demi God? Guruji! Please explain.

HpS - AGTSP!!!   Paoho....    Manipuri nagar sankirtan, Ki Jai!!   More and more devotees in the Kirtan. We experience Krsna's association, so will they!
We don't know the details of how Satyavati becime Kausiki, but these things happen on a subtle level. You may have a book on your USB drive. It is real. It is there and you can transfer the file to another USB drive or... it can become a spiral bound book, or it can become a movie...  So the demigods exist on a subtle level, like we somtimes experience in dreams where things can change from one to another easier then here. Ice is hard to move, but when turned to steam it and be pumped all over the place, no?

I am continuing my routine work of japa of 8 rounds in the morning after mangal arati, remembering some selected slokas from Gita, Bhagavatam, BRS, NOD etc. and reading some books before going to Office. For the last one week I could not heard Goruji’s amrtabani. I think it may be Guruji’s full engagement in other programmes. Yours fallen servant, Yamunesvara Das.

HpS - Our full engagement in other programs can many times just trying to survive. This is not Goloka and so we have to just rest and read books or play ball sometime.  Ooof.   As we get more purified we learn how to rest with more and more connection to Krsna, and then we never rest!
How much longer you will work at the University?  Many people want to come to Manipur in middle of October. Is that a good time?  Good weather? Any cultural events??
More news!   More news!   Manipur can save the world!
