Letters to the editor

Dear Guru Maharaja,

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

The first time I ever saw your grace was in the summer of 2009. I was travelling with the ISKCON youth bus tour as a 20 year old without any real goals in life- just going through the motions. So we were in San Jose on this leg of the tour and we had all been woken up to attend Mangala Arti. During Japa time I saw you as the only Sannyasi (obvioulsy) in the room. You were sitting on a cushion perhaps and your beads were out and on you lap. I am sure without intention you just sort of, with your head facing down, rolled your eyes up and gave me a glance almost like a teacher would to check his students are working and not goofing. You seemed a very curious personality to me at the time. I always carried this memory with me and years later when I decided to put my life in order and take spiritual life more seriously, this memory would come in handy. 

I was to choose a spiritual guide to mentor me and formally accept me into the big ISKCON family. A devotee gave me a tip: to pray to Krsna to reveal that teacher to me. So I tried it. And it worked. Immediately this memory of your manifested. I knew then that you would be my teacher. This was such a powerful experience. The power of prayer attracted me more to Krsna. 

I has been 10 years of a guru-disciple relationship. Some challenges have appeared before me over the recent years in my spiritual practice but I always remember you and know that I should not disappoint you and always pray to improve. I thank you for your quirky words of wisdom and your forever guidance.  On this most auspicious day of your Vyasa puja I thank you for changing my l ife around for the better.Jaya Srila Prabhupada!
Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dasi

HpS - AgtSP.... Paoho. . .   Thank you for this news.  It is so perfect to see ourselves through the eyes of others, Krsna and His devotees, sages like Maitreya Muni, blades of grass in Iskcon. We don't see you too much!!  Where do you live? With whom do you work? How much does your family weigh, total? How long are your intestines, combined? Who are you each, individually in Goloka?  . . . Isavasya looks very intelligent, no joke.

Hare Krsna, Mooo Chachos!

Moon Beams from a Larger Lunacy [Nice title. It is from a book in the public domain. author gone to his reward].

[[['ows, Dhruva in Australia??]]]

Lord Caitanya is the largest Lunatic.

If one sees simple a moment, shard, chip, of one of His Pastimes, he can expand it into dozens of ecstatic books.

It is 1.03PM, Xmas eve day. It is 40-degress Farenheit here in Murfreesboro. Not too much traffic.

FMP, then 1-1/2 hours doing a Powerpoint show for the GBC College in Brazil.  Some many, other letters, nap, Boga offering (potatoes [carrot [almonds [olive oil [greek yogurt [salt and black pepper [little, little, love of Lord Nrsmhadeva]]]]]].

Now gotta rest the brain.
   Or the monkey will go insane.
In the end only the madmen will survive. Then we shall have good books!

Hare Krsna Maharaja......

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada....

Todas las glorias a tus pues de loto....

ASA - Lobo.

Maharaja devo decirle que deje cusco para siempre....desde ayer por la noche estoy en mi casa pisco con mi mamá y mis hijos, una casa a orilla de playa en la cual me quedare hasta que pasen las fiestas.....luego me ire a chosica donde ya alquile en casa de prabhu kanupandit, vivire ahy con mi hijo, mi deseo es participar de los programas y luego conversar con la autoridad y poder tener algun servicio,me gustaria poder ser ayudante de pujari.....

4 principios cumplidos....

16 rondas cumplidas....

Mi lectura, converse con prabhu laksmana agraha das y me dio el consejo que en vez de pasar al canto 3 del S.B . , nuevamente lea el 1 y 2 y eso estoy haciendo....

Las tulasis que tenia las tiene prabhu Amala Karuna.

Maharaja mi ultima carta fue por problemas muy serios con prabhu Amala, de los cuales ya no deseo decir nada ....solo aclarar que yo nunca este año estuve embarazada, mi embarazo fue el año pasado y los perdi, en una carta se lo informe ....ESTE AÑO EN NUNGUN MOMENTO YO ESTUVE EMBARAZADA..... Es todo lo que voy a decir ya que para mi el tema de Amala Karuna se cerro, no deseo mas de el, si deseo encuentre lo que busca y pueda volver al templo. Yo solo trato de seguir sus instrucciones que cante Hare Krshna que todo se va arreglarm, mi mamá no tiene un buen concepto de los devotos, pero respeta mi decision y me ayuda y apoya.

En todo esto tengo y tuve apoyo moral,emocional,fisico y hasta economico de NADIYA NIVASI DASI Y su esposo GADAI GOURANGA ,Prabhu LAKSMANA (su canto)M.Chandramuki dd y sus consejos,prabhu RUPA GOSAI que viajo a ver a mi hijo y a mi,prabhu YOGESVARA DAS quien llamo al ministerio de la mujer.

No dire nada más,Mi deseo es sincero el de irme al templo de chosica,siempre lo tuve y paso mucho para al menos poder vivir cerca....

Maharaja deseo me de alguna instruccion y sus bendiciones para poder seguir adelante y ser util algun dia para ti, en el movimiento de sankirtana de Srila Prabhupada......

Disculpa Maharaja si después de aquel accidente que tuve ,no me conectaba tan diario o algo tarde...

Por ahora es todo. Se despude de usted alguien espera un dia llegar a ser una devota ,una hija suya y poderlo servir ,perdona mis ofensas y torpezas...

Bhaktin Amparo

HpS - Aparece es cierto que Vd y Amala tiene que dejar coneccion para un rato. Possible seis o siete vidas, pero por la fin, vamos adjuster todo.

Espero puede cantar rondas cada dia por la manana en el templo en Chosica!!!!.

Pamho Gurudev tlgasp!!

I hope you are happy in your wonderful Krsna consciousness. Thank you for your answers.
the word "accept" that you tell me is meaningful to me
I have accepted things, in many aspects that are not favorable for me and now I am leaving. In the previous letter I meant that the little attachment I have for Krsna made me continue with my service and this is thanks to you.

At that time, prabhu Gita Govinda gave me advice: Mother, at the time of the meurte we have to have good memories of Krsna consciousness, not bad, if you, continue in the group, it will not help your conscience. There was so much my desire to learn that I hesitated to leave the group.
But finally I had to get away from this and other groups.

With regard to Franco's Sankirtan, he told me: to take care of my family and to listen to the maha mantra and the krsna book every day. according to me, I believe that his behavior is his great sankirtan. he always cares about me and for gopal, he is a good father, a good companion and he is always thinking about improving the service of our deities.

HpS - Vd es una chica muy afortunada!

There is a new devotee who comes to visit us from time to time and, despite having bad experiences with devotees, some very heavy, she sees frank and is inspired by his character, frank by nature. Sometimes we have many t

In my sadhana I am very unstable, sometimes I wake up 2:30 and sometimes 6:00, I still do not know how to balance that.

Gopalito sometimes mangalartik with me, a little later, he likes the siksastaka very much and he is learning it, he likes all the mangalartik songs, I always do it in the style of the beloved temple of chosica. we also do sometimes gaura artik, and for gopal we still do not stop singing the damodarastakam, he likes it a lot.

I keep collecting and rehearsing often. Sometimes the collection is mentally tired more than anything, 7 years ago I am asked every day where I am from, and it reminds me a bit of the origin of this body, I think I will say next time I am from vrndavam, so I will remember krsna.

HpS - Jaya!!  Crea una indentidad falso increible. "Soy la gran nieta de Genghis Khan. Conozco bailes secretos de Mongolia. Viene a nuestra program esta mez y puede ver una chispe de nuestras glorias."
 

I wanted to tell him that frankly asked me not to name him in the blog, the truth, he does not like it, he says he is not a famous personality to be named here, so I will try not to name him anymore, it costs me.

HpS - Puede decir, "El Quien no Queire Ser Nombrado". Cual quiere persona quien canta el Santo Nombre una vez es gloficadorado.

Thank you for your kindness, sweetness and example. We offer our eternal obeisances.
trying to please him with the whole heart: Japa prati jalpa Radha devi dasi

HpS - Make little vow, like get 10-rounds done before 10AM para 2-semanas. Notificala aqui en el Blog y envia su reportaje.

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva, acepte mis reverencias una y otra vez .

Es difícil para mí definir en palabras todo el amor y agradecimiento que siento hacia usted. Lo único que puedo hacer es un poco de servicio a donde voy . Cantando siempre las rondas y aveces distribuyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada . Oro por qué Sri Nrisimhadeva siempre lo proteja. Estoy en ciudad del este Paraguay con Vijaya Govinda celebraremos su Viasapuja junto a los vaisnavas de esta ciudad . 

Además tenemos los tiketks para ir al santo dham el 29 de enero . Orando por sus bendiciones para poder hacer un buen servicio 

Su eterno servidos Rohini Kumar Das

HpS - Increible!   Viajando, y viviendo en otro pais!  Esperamos, esperamos,  e s p e r a m o s, qu Vds puede profundizar mucho en su servicio. Puede ser muy profundo actores en la drama del Senyor Caitanya........... Paraguay, el centro sel universo.
