Hello, my name is Bhakta Fred,

I'm a friend of Bhakta Tom.   We used to go to the same High School and both knew Wally Chan.  Do you smoke or drink?   Am I correct in understanding that members of this ASA don't smoke or drink?
That seem pretty good.

I gave it up a while ago because I could see it was killing me, but what do you do when you're bored?

I asked Tom that and he said that he just chanted, "Hare Krsna/Hare Rama" and in a few moments an idea would pop into his head about what he could do for Lord Nrsmhadeva, your ASA deity.

I tried it. It worked.

I can see that you if you don't wanta be bored, you gotta get the big things planned first: What do I want to do this year, lifetime?  How can I make a big impact on the world, so that people will stop thinking so much?

I mean 90% of the world's problems are from people who think too much.

I mean they think and make atom bombs... boom!

Then they think and figure out birth control pills, boom!     Then there is no meaning to keeping company with the opposite sex except for gross connection like baboons once a year.

Think, think, think....  machines, robots, plastic food, village life in the shadow of the metropolis . . . forgotten.

O.K.   I just wanted to say, "Hello". Tom said he would publish this letter for me. He's a good guy, even though at times a little gross!

Your friend,

Fred Gutz

Ureaka I struck gold

All glories to Still Prabhupada.

HH Humanumantpresaka please accept my obeisances.

HpS - ASA --- AgtSP!

You're Grace, I'm so fortunate to finally [have] figured out how to get your association and I feel I struck gold to be able to see how a Sannyasi deals with a platitude of situations and challenges that this world puts us in.

HpS - Ya gotta keep 'ur chin up, Mate!

You've showed me that you are person that I can dedicate my life to and try to do some kind of Seva in this world.

HpS - ASA - Huh!?     We showed you that???    You must be misinterpreting the data.   AGTSP!   We are like a link to Srila Prabhupada, but not perfect, so get others also eg. His books!!

If there's any way I can provide services in India, Australia or anywhere on the planet,vthis monkey will try to stay out of the way.

Thanks for your patience and mercy on allowing me access into the inner sanctum.

HpS - This is like the middle sanctum. The inner is reserved for madmen like Lord Caitanya.  '@'pop~ 

One "service" you can do, is to look at your life from the viewpoint of a common guy in your country, write it down and send it here.

La fe del madhyama adhikari

7 years, 11 months ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Special Category A

Querido Gurumaharaja 

¡Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias!

¡ Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

El grupo de estudios de iniciación Harinama queremos hacerle una pregunta.

Estamos hablando del tema  "Fe y Religión en Conciencia de Krsna"

Hemos leído que  un madhyama adhikari aunque no sepa respaldar su posición con las sastras su FE ES FIRME pero si no toma asociación de un devoto de primera clase el madhyama adhikari no progresa. 

La pregunta es:

¿ La fe de un madhyama adhikari puede caer a la posición de kanistha adhikari?

HpS - Unos esta dejando servicio devocional completa, no, y convertiendo a Karmis. Entonces, fe de ellos es en actividades frutivas basado en su recursos materiales.

Entonces, si uno puede caer de Madhayma a Kanistha. 

La próxima semana estaremos enviando detalles del taller de estudios.
HpS - ASA -  Jaya!  Harinama Sankirtana en Mejico!   Musica!   Banderas!    Baile...  Tamales!   KRSNA en la corazon...

Gracias por Su misericordiosa atención Gurumaharaja.

Sus aspirantes a sirvientes. 

HpS - ASA  --- Hare Krsna/Hare Rama!     Jaya Radha/Jaya Shyama!      Vamanos a la proxima carta! >>>>>>>>  >>>>>>  >>>>    Buena suerte con su curso...

hare krsna maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP

please accept my salute...

HpS - ASA -- Please accept ours, Sir! (Figure 1, below)

we persay are writing HH asked us to report....

ASA - Report!

we thank you for asking editor of Viplavah, to send us individual email. you thought about us, thats our hope.

what can we say seems its all mind rambling.

we moved near to Sri Sri Radha Parthsarthi, Delhi. Apartment is only 400 metres. We try to attend morning program. and other program.. so temple visit 4 days in a week ....

but still struggling to make associates here/chant regularly/read regularly...

we are Dr. frog now........

HpS - ASA - Before you were Bachelor Horse!

by studying astrology . we found that we as partners are incompatible--only pleasure is of upastha....

ASA - Should move to Italy. Everyone loves pasta there.
 

our mind will remain agitated,
however we will be spiritually inclined.
_____________________________
we find it tough to integrate our karmi life with rounds / no-onion garic diet/ book reading/family life.

seems v r living fake life/ like bellow pipe.....

 

gradually v r getting convinced that without parental or  spouse or local devotee support, we can can not continue dual life of karmi
/devotee....... v got two opt one.....

though we know there is no loss in this movement, but we get agitated, frustrated that we are not moving close initiation levels.

i thank you for remembering us, being our light, hope we can follow some day path chalked by you.....

Monkey/Piggy - Don't be a fool.    Don't trust The Witch, "Be a Karmi and Enjoy Life!"    Meditate on it, notice it, for one week, what things you like to do, then write to us here with the exciting news eg. arm wrestle with pythons in the Amazon, throw chairs at iritating students...

.... waiting with baited breath!!!!!!

You are our main hope for ISKCON Zanzibar.

(You might try Italy!)
