Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

I'm glad to write you. Thank you very much for your merciful asociation in FMP. My mother (Tarangaksi dd) and I are trying to connect everyday. Due of this, our chant is improving and we are being occupied in more service. In the last months, I was studying the first cycle of Education at Catolica University. I learnt a lot of interesting modern educational topics. In a final investigation work about "what means to be a good teacher?", I quoted Srila Prabhupada (Bg. 3.21). My teacher was interested in the quote. I hope, for the next year, have the oppotunity to quote Srila Prabhupada in other works. Also, I had a philosophy teacher that in some of his classes, he mentioned how hindu philosophy influenced at the greek religion...

I'm giving classes of Bhagavad Gita at Wilson temple and being assistant of pujari (twice a month). I participate in bhajans and kirtans, playing the harmonium and singing, in Namahattas or temple programs. In a few days, I will travel to Cusco with my grandmother Gauri Devi Dasi. At university, teachers recommended me to know the social and cultural aspects of the peruvian regions and the educational reality of their schools. At the same time, we will do sankirtan at the little villages and we want to have the association of the devotees. We will stay there almost a month. 

Thank you so much for reading this letter. Thank you so much for your mercy, association and inspiration.

Trying to serve,

Bhaktin Rukmini.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!!   Hare Krsna!    I hope you can make a lot of friends in the university and just listent to them. They will have problems and the innocent ones will accept the advice of you "Abuelito", Srila Prabhuapada.

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I'm very happy to write you again. I'm trying to always connect to FMP. And twice a month, I do Mangala Aratik in the temple. I'm chanting a half of my rounds very early and the other half before midday.

HpS - ASA --   Very good!  You are our leader.

All this help me to improve my chant with enthusiasm. Also, because I started to study Bhakti Sastri with Lakshman Prabhu. We are studying Bhagavad Gita. 

By Krishna arrangements, I work from house. We write articles for a magazine about health and integral culture, with the collaboration of other devotees. This allows me to have a flexible timetable, so I can do service at Wilson temple: Bhagavad Gita classes (twice a month) and Pujari  (twice a month); and take care the spiritual life of my daughters.

I think is very important taking care physical, mental and spiritual. So, we are diffusing good regular habits and a simple natural alimentation, with the aim of helping people to rise goodness. We hope continue with this for the next year through a fourth edition of the magazine.

By Krishna's mercy, I'm always in association with devotees and we are trying to do service with joy and enthusiasm for the pleasure of our beloved Gurudeva and Srila Prabhupada.

Thanks a lot Guru Maharaja for allow us to serve you and for your holy asociation.

HpS - Very, very nice.  It seems that there is great need in Lima, Peru, Hispanic world for simpled knowledge about how to be happy even materially. People want that know, but it is Kali-yuga and without some religion connection, Krsna, it won't be strong enough to keep them from being drawn back again into Raja and Tama guna.   So nice to see good results from these efforts. Make you clients, salesmen.

AGTSP/... // Paoho.
We just got too, too, many Vyasa-puja offerings at one time, so we just could read the names and the Delete them.   >>>>>>     Please send them again after a few weeks.
We have answered like 28-reports and have maybe the same number more to report.

Hare Krsna.    When we are just quite and listen to the sound around us we are never sad. There is always some way to go ahead. Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna.
Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.

Srila Prabhupada has so, so, so, so, so... many things to do for Krsna. If we just stay near his feet, like monkeys gatering, seeds, and chanting Holy Names, then we will get some service!!    Prasadam!!!

How do you like the Powerpoint show?

Braja - Vande guruoh sri caranaravindam....   Do you see Goloka in this world?  Will all your friends visit you every day?

Today is shortest day of the year: 10 hours 24 minutes we calculate. Krsna is the great soul within.

por favor acepte mis mas humildes y sinceras reverencias,

al polvo de sus pies de Loto los cuales bañan la Conciencia del deseo Puro 

de servir a Sri Sri Radha y Krishna, 

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada a su ilimitada misericordia, 

la cual ha inundado el mundo entero

                                                                             no pude calmar mi llanto cuando leí la Ofrenda de Sri Vyasapuja que ud. hiciera a Srila Prabhupada, todo lo que tuvo que pasar en su viaje de Sankirtan a India que lo llevó al borde de un ataque cardiaco, estuve al punto del Colapso! .. un poco mas repuesta reflexioné del Tesoro que tenemos nosotros sus discipulos de tener un Maestro Espiritual ejemplar como ud.  digno representante de la Sucesión Discipular,  ante la gravedad de la situación ud. manifestó la cualidad de un Vaisnava puro que es la Seriedad (Ganvira) , su seriedad que expresa la magnitud de su deseo de servir cada vez mejor a Krishna, esa Seriedad con la que escribió su informe que llamó serian sus ultimas palabras en esta tierra , en la cual plasmó su humildad por todos conocida al decir que a su parecer ha realizado el 70% del Servicio perfecto en la contribución al movimiento de Sankirtan de su Maestro Espiritual.... con su ejemplo personal querido Gurudev nos enseña como un devoto debe tomar su servicio con una actitud de Seriedad y Urgencia , debido esto  sus actividades son Maratónicas para dar Conciencia de Krishna en una Sociedad que se encuentra en una condición crítica de oscuridad.

                                                                               Yo ruego al Señor Nirshimha lo Socorra y proteja, para que su presencia  en éste mundo siga con nosotros, su presencia nos dá fuerza y valor para enfrentar las embestidas de Maya, yo Oro por tener su Misericordia de tener una gotita del oceano de su cualidad en la Seriedad del Servicio a Krishna para que pueda avanzar con mis pasos tambaleantes en el sendero de mi vida Espiritual!!   Su Santidad HanumatPresaka!! ki, Jay !!!!

su inútil y torpe sirvienta

please accept my most humble and sincere obeisances, to the dust of your lotus feet which bathe the Pure Awareness of desire to serve Sri Sri Radha and Krishna,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada to his limitless mercy, which has flooded the whole world

I could not calm my crying when I read the Offering of Sri Vyasapuja that you. did Srila Prabhupada, everything that had to happen on his trip from Sankirtan to India that took him to the brink of a heart attack, I was at the point of Collapse! .. a little more response, I reflected on the Treasure that we have his disciples to have an exemplary Spiritual Master like you. worthy representative of the Disciplinary Succession, in view of the seriousness of the situation. he manifested the quality of a pure Vaisnava which is Seriousness (Ganvira), his seriousness expressing the magnitude of his desire to serve Krishna better and better, that Seriousness with which he wrote his report that he called would be his last words on this earth, in which he expressed his humility for everyone known by saying that in his opinion he has realized 70% of the perfect Service in the contribution to the Sankirtan movement of his Spiritual Master ... with his personal example dear Gurudev teaches us how a devotee should To take his service with an attitude of Seriousness and Urgency, due to this his activities are Marathonic to give Krishna Consciousness in a Society that is in a critical condition of darkness.

I pray to Lord Nirshimha to Socorra and protect, so that his presence in this world continues with us, his presence gives us strength and courage to face the onslaught of Maya, I pray for having his mercy to have a drop of the ocean of its quality in Seriousness of Service to Krishna so that I can advance with my wobbly steps on the path of my Spiritual life !! Your Holiness HanumatPresaka !! Ki, Jay!

 HpS - Hare Krsna. Gracias su carta, Jambavati DD.  Apegamos una buen pintura de Krsna con su Jefina, Jambavati.   Gracias su carta.  Cada uno de nostros tiene poco potencia, no?   La unica cosa es tratar utilizar lo para Krsna, Srila Prabhupada. Claro, en esta mundo mortal hay mucho neblina. ??Que necesita Krsna y Radharani, las Gopis...??    En el mundo material es facil ver pero aqui tenemos que trabajar entre esta neblina. 

 Detras de nuestra Nrsmaha es su phot triple de Gaura Nitai, Gopal(?).   Tambien Monocito y Puerquecito de Vd.   Gracias.      Encontrando unas personas interestantes en su Sankirtan!!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP PAMHO

All Glories to U, HH Hanumatpresaka Swami

Another year to try to glorify U and recall your innumerable qualities

The first one is  obvious your humbleness is the most outstanding decoration of your very good self

Your study guides are named Tava pache pache, and recalling the lyrics of Ohe Vaisnava Thakura on the last verse says :

kṛṣṇa se tomāra, kṛṣṇa dīte pāro,
tomāra śakati āche
āmi to' kāńgāla, 'kṛṣṇa' 'kṛṣṇa' boli',
dhāi tava pāche pāche

 Krsna is yours. You have the power to give Him to me. I am simply your servant running behind you shouting, "Krsna! Krsna!"

Due to your fidelity to Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON Krsna is YOURS, and just by your mercy I am going to be able to get Krsna in some point. Always happy and positive in every action we can see that U have the jewel of prema bhakti within the core of your heart.

HpS - Wow!  X-ray vision!!   We see a lot of anger that we have to control. The Devil within.

I always pray for always be running behind your lotus feet and try to get at least some particles of the dust of your feet

I also became identify with the third verse:

ekākī āmāra, nāhi pāya bala,
hari-nāma-sańkīrtane
tumi kṛpā kori', śraddhā-bindu diyā,
deho' kṛṣṇa-nāma-dhane

I do not find the strength to carry on alone the sankirtana of the holy name of Hari. Please bless me by giving me just one drop of faith with which to obtain the great treasure of the holy name of Krsna.

Your whole life had been an example of faith, steadiness and so forth for all of us

You have passed through many difficult situations in ISKCON during this lifetime, but instead of becoming disappointed, criticizing, lamenting etc I listened that you said in one class in Australia

Despite all this problems “I am going to follow Srila Prabhupada  and follow his mission”, and due to this decision You got the feeling  that SP is saying thank U

You added that we have to become good members of ISKCON, so I thought that starts analyzing our own position, our own service, just as U told me once the spiritual advancement is individual. Thus I should not seek for others faults, and just focus in the treausure that U want to give me. The treasure of the holy name of Krsna

You gave us the formula how to maintain our utsahan, You knew how to take advantage of good association, Your friends were Jayananda P, Hansadhuta, Bhakti Svarupa d G, and You tell us, that your conversations with them were: SP said this, SP did that so You were experimenting [experiencing] Lila smaranam svarupa meditating on SP’s pastimes, that  comes more intense. I beg to always seek for good association within ISKCON. And these festivals are so important because we can share all these experiences about our beloved Gurus.

Finally You said that you did not like when devotees discuss about SP’s final order, due to SP is everyday giving orders through His books, so it will never be a final order

Great souls like You will always be remembered due to the huge service and love and U give everyday to any people you be in contact with elevating their consciousness, You really carry in your heart this statement:  Where-ever you go, whomever you meet, tell them about Krsna, “yare dekhe...”. 

I can just say thank U all so much for all these years of outstanding association

Lo quiero mucho Gurudeva

Su Santidad Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja KI JAYA

HpS - We are often in about 40% muck and mud and trying to act upon the 60% clarity that we have. It may not be perfect but 60% pure devotional service leads to 100% (sooner or later!).  Thank you for your association. You have a nice mother, nice father, nice sister and even a nice dog (and cat).    Nice clients. Nice students. Nice religion...   Jaya!     That's not enough!     Make them all perfect.  See that you father takes birth in Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON.

Dear HH Hanumat Presaka Swami, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

I have been an aspiring disciple of yours for many years and I would like to ask you for formal initiation. I have been chanting at least sixteen rounds everyday and following the four regulative principles strictly for two and a half months. 

I have had a regular service here at the Boise temple for most of the year. Consisting of landscaping, lawn maintenance, construction projects and taking the trash out every week.  

Every week I attend and help with the Monday night program. Every Sunday I associate with Balabhadra Prabhu and every other Sunday I attend his Bhagavad Gita class. 

I also regularly associate and take instructions from the Gupta family. 

Also, Mother Kamagayatri and I are co-parenting Aja Narayana very nicely and I have much respect and admiration for her and her husband.

 Please let me know what further steps I need to take.  
Thank you and Hare Krishna, 
-Nick 

HpS - It is so, so, so, nice to hear from you.   Basically you just have to continue doing what you are doing. That will present enough challenges and chances to advance.  

Read the following, please: www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt

Hope to hear from you soon. Don't think that following discipline means to reduce creativity. Only when it increases creativity, with a little patience, is it proper.
