Letters to the editor

   Hare Krishna Dear Maharaja!

  All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

   Please  Accept my most humble obeisances

  I hope you are in good health enjoying this season dear maharaja! I wonder if the book you talked me about still out there on sale...

ASA - AGTSP.  It is, but the price seems to have gone up from $100 to a little higher. https://www.amazon.com/Krsna-Art-Bhaktivedanta-Swami-Prabhupada/dp/096280830X

. . . it would be amazing to get it since I'm not tattooing professionally anymore, I decide to tattoed just devotees, making devotional art or tattoo designs inspired on the lord and the gods and demigods, no charging for the tattoos. I moved closer to the temple, 7 minutes away by foot, so you can imagine how happy I'm feeling. I go there, present my obeisances, do my service (right now I'm washing Prabhupada's clothing and making the deities garlands) do my rounds there before or after I take prasadam.  im able to go to the temple every day or day in between. can you guide me in what service I can do or you would recommend for me? I will appreciate that with all my heart dear Maharaja. my daughter mya sends greeting to you.

HpS - Focus on becoming a good Yogi, doing your rounds well, following principles, learning how to live in ISKCON. Getting to know Srila Prabhupada and then if everything is fine taking initiation under his shelter.

Hare Krishna  Guru Dev,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to SrilaPrabhupada and Gurudev.

I am not really worthy enough to write anything about you Mahraj. You have such a great control on the senses and perform severe austerities.

HpS - Hmmmf!  We are still attached to too much ice cream at times.

Few weeks back when I am reading NOI Text ONE, the question of Pariksit Maharaj, “Why do people undergo atonement if they can’t control their senses? What is the benefit of such atonement?” I felt like this question is directly talking to me and about me.

In your last trip to Richmond, I was inspired and started attending “Mangala arati everyday” almost for 6 months and one day when I met an accident and for few weeks (due to surgery etc.) I couldn’t get up in the morning due to medical reasons and after that I couldn’t make it regular. Some days okay, some days not and same time my work also demanding lot of my time (working in the night and sleeping early in morning). I tried complete my rounds then before going to bed.

When I am reading more and more NOI, every single verse is trying to say something and showing my inability to live up to the standards.

For few days, I am very serious, reading, listening, and book distribution and for few days, it’s very challenging. In all those times, I remember (actually, I meditate) your activities, your dancing, your chanting and the way of conducting your activities.

When I see you in that mood, I feel like you are not in this world and when do I feel that Maharaj? I feel like someone inside me is screaming to come out. At times I feel like none this matter, all my work and my reading etc., I came to know something wrong with my way of reading, just to build knowledge is no good, Craving to feel the real joy in those readings or truly understanding the meaning, so that it inspires my way of living.

It feels like “Maya” is always ready to pounce anytime, when I am not careful (experiencing time to time, Maya is finding some genuine reason or convincing me not to perform Bhakti). Somehow with your mercy, at least I am able recognize and trying to set it right. My only saving grace in all these times is “chanting” (one which I never take it lite and make sure I complete)

Mahraj, please correct me, advice and bless me, so that my life comes back to normal and do my “sadhna” in a regulative way. And one day, I am able to relish the nectar of Bhakti (serving the devotees, Chanting, Vedic Literature etc.)

Your humble Servant

HpS - What was the accident??    In general, we are subjected to the reactions of our Karma, Modes of Nature. A man may grab a rope in the fast moving river and now we are pulling him out, but he is still subjected to the waves. The big ones drag us under, but there is a big difference in being in the river holding on to the rope and not holding, and as we get pulled out the waves become smaller and smaller. Nistha.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada  y a su sankirtana eterno.

Hare Krsna amado Guru Maharaj, pamho. 

Este año no fué muy bueno para mi avance espiritual, descuidamos las rondas pero pudimos recuperarlas, el gayatri igual, sankirtana muy poco,lo único que nos mantuvo fué adorar a las silas y leer los libros. Estuve a punto de querer dejar ISKCON pero vi que Srila Prabhupada Y Ud. Son mi gran ejemplo a seguir, no voy a dar detalles por las cosas que vi por el cariño que tengo a ciertos devotos de Huancayo, sé que nadie esta libre de nada y que éste movimiento es para los más caídos.

Nos encontramos con M. Kumari  y P. Janardana y le revelamos nuestra mente y le confesamos lo que vimos nos sentimos mejor, ellos son una gran asociación e inspiración para nosotros. Así que este año no lo hemos fallado recuperamos nuestras rondas perdidas, los principios esta bien, y el sadhana ha mejorado también porque ya no hay restaurante.

Guru Maharaj siempre estoy pensando en lo que me dijo en Cusco de ir a vivir a India y hacer sankirtana ayá, queremos cumplir esa meta con mi esposo, por ello estamos tratando de hacer el negocio de construir y arrendar en nuestras casas de lima, claro que también queremos cumplir con nuestros padres.

Pero creo que se dará de a poco todo esto. Creo que la vida es tan corta para frustrase y sólo queda en seguir adelante, ocupándose en uno mismo e ir mejorando el proceso y todo lo demás vendrá automáticamente. Pero me deprimimo tan rápido, quisiera ser fuerte no llorar al ver una vaca, al ver a los niños, creo debí de ser activista, jejejeje.

Que pase un lindo día en su vyasapuya con Prabhupada y los devotos, gracias por darnos refugio, sin Ud. Nuestra vida sería muy triste.

De nosotros también viene nuestro cumpleaños en diciembre, de Gadai el 18 y el mio el 26. Haremos sankirtana para ofrenda de Prabhupada.

Seguimos adelante porque sé que el sankirtana es perfecto y es mi mayor refugio.

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.

HpS - Feliz cumpleanyos a Gadai!!!   El ha sido una gran riqueza en el regalo de la tierra. Gracias su reportaje. Adelante, seguro que buenas rondas y principios estrictas va a orden todos los prioridades en su vida y gaurantizar que va a ser una vida util!!!!    Va a tene muchos amigos profundos.

Hare Krisna en estos momentos como estoy un poco aislado del mundo no, pero a lo mejor si Krisna quiere y su misericordia lo intentaremos.

Jagamohan Das.

HpS - TlgaSP!!!   No recordamos la pregunta. Pero esperamos que sea posible adelantar su conneccion con el mundo!  Vd tiene mucho ofrecer.  Hare Krsna!!

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.

Gurudev, Thank you so much for giving me opportunity for trainee Assistant Editor (MOE –Ministry Journal, Viplava (Revolution)).

We received your sent notification and involucration to my email address about trainee Assistant Editor. And we responded to
Tapan Mishra Das on the same, kept you all in CC.  

In another letter (http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/8565), you had asked as below.

"HpS - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. Who is Krsna? If He was in Pune would you recognize Him?  How would He live?   Read the books,
distribute the books, knowledge, love."

Guru Maharaj, We trying to know based on your input, but still lots to do for to Know Radha-Krsna. It would be possible with your
blessing only. we are very hopeful and very positive on your instructions on the path of bhakti so we pray for strength to follow you.

Thank you so much Gurudev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!  Keep an eye out. Krsna may be passing you at any moment? Jump on the chance to jon Him.

Radhe Radhe, all glories to Srila Prabhupada

Patita Pavana Srila Hanumatpresaka Swami.

Gurudeva, please accept my obeisances.

As You instructed me, I traveled to Cochabamba looking for Mathuresh prabhu, I called him and he told me that he was in La Paz, then I went to La Paz, I called him again and he told me  he was in Cochabamba, I could not contact him. As You know, I wrote an email with a copy to you regarding my prohibition to attend the temple again and fix my situation but I did not receive any response, instead you kindly wrote me inmediately...

In relation to Amparo, I left home on July 16,she called me and sent messages all the time, I never responded to them, on December 4 she came to my work, she was drunk and threatened to scandal, she told me she would give me some of my things and 1600 soles, that was not true, we had an incoherent conversation, she did not give me anything back, I wanted to go out and she subjected me. It was impossible to go out and we struggled, I lost control and I defended myself, the owner of the house called the police and they detained us,  I attach documents.

Amparo nunca tuvo cancer, el documento adjunto fue una farsa, con ese diagnostico ella ya habria muerto hace mucho tiempo.

I celebred that there is a mimistry of women and I would like them to act impartially...

My mistake was to go that house, I was almost 5 months very quiet with my devotional life, caring for Tulasi and carving new deities of Jagannath.

Praying at Your feet for Your forgiveness, naradhama amalakaruna das.

HpS - Hare Krsna, Voy a escribir en Ingles y entonces traducir utilizando 'translate.google.com'. El truco es utilizar palabras y gramatica simple como el robot puede entender, no?

Thank you for your letter. This is a situation with several different features. Your document that her, pregnancy was shown to be falisified and that she was intoxicated is very strong. How was she able to falisify such a sophisticated document as the cancer report seems to be? Have you contacted the Doctor or any others and shown them the document? Yes, it does seem like a fatal report for two years ago. Maybe it was a miracle and she recovered.

Also, she has been very, very regular in attenging our Mangala-arati online program and other online programs. When we chants Japa there for 15-minutes her voice is very clear.

You see from a distance it is hard to understand what is happening.

I can give you one explanation that may be true or may not be true. It is just to show what little we can do to help, and we will do that, from this distance.

She has a very good, clean, streak about her, but she is also very attached to, in love with, you and so, when she thinks about you she eventually acts in a very crazy fashion.

So, many other scenarios are possible.

As regards Mathuresa Das it sounds in some ways possible. Trying to be a businessman, family man, ISKCON Zonal Supervisor, he certainly can get to the point where he cannot do things 100% properly.

Of course, another scenario is that you never went to Bolivia, you are a CIA Agent and have falisified all these documents and Amparo is a KGB agent and you are both trying to get control of several nuclear weapons hidden near Cusco.

What about we try to talk together with Mathuresa Das on Skype for example?   Is that possible?

In any case Krsna knows what is happening and giving full protection to sincere people. I like getting letters from you and hope I can be a part of Krsna's plan for your service to develop very quickly.

Are you painting Jagannatha??

I have sent a copy of everything to Mathuresa Das by Skype.

___________________________________________________________________

Gracias por su carta. Esta es una situación con varias características diferentes. Su documento que dice que ella, el embarazo se demudó y que ella estaba intoxicada es muy fuerte. ¿Cómo fue capaz de falsificar un documento tan sofisticado como parece ser el informe sobre el cáncer? ¿Se ha comunicado con el médico o con otras personas y les ha mostrado el documento? Sí, parece un informe fatal hace dos años. Tal vez fue un milagro y ella se recuperó.

Además, ella ha sido muy, muy regular en la asistencia a nuestro programa en línea Mangala-arati y otros programas en línea. Cuando cantamos a Japa por 15 minutos, su voz es muy clara.

Ves desde lejos que es difícil entender lo que está sucediendo.

Puedo darte una explicación que puede ser verdadera o no ser cierta. Es solo para mostrar lo poco que podemos hacer para ayudar, y lo haremos, desde esta distancia.

Ella tiene una muy buena y limpia veta sobre ella, pero también está muy apegada, enamorada de ti y, cuando piensa en ti, eventualmente actúa de una manera muy loca.

Entonces, muchos otros escenarios son posibles.

En cuanto a Mathuresa Das, suena de alguna manera posible. Al tratar de ser un empresario, un hombre de familia, el Supervisor Zonal de ISKCON, sin duda puede llegar al punto en que no puede hacer las cosas al 100% correctamente.

Por supuesto, otro escenario es que nunca fuiste a Bolivia, eres un agente de la CIA y has falsificado todos estos documentos y Amparo es un agente de la KGB y ambos intentan obtener el control de varias armas nucleares escondidas cerca de Cusco.

¿Qué tal si tratamos de hablar con Mathuresa Das en Skype, por ejemplo? ¿Es eso posible?

En cualquier caso, Krsna sabe lo que está sucediendo y brinda protección total a las personas sinceras. Me gusta recibir cartas de usted y espero ser parte del plan de Krsna para que su servicio se desarrolle rápidamente.

¿Estás pintando Jagannatha?

Yo he enviado una copia de todo a Mathuresa Das por Skype.
