Letters to the editor

Querido Gurumaharaja:
Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias! 
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!
No pude responder antes Su mail, disculpe por favor.

ASA - Ha!    Ha!    Hare!   Y nuestra demurra responder es como dos meces!    Por viaje a Australia, India!

Recién hoy por arreglo de Krsna pude hablar con Prabhu Vrajendra sobre unas dudas e incluso con prabhu Maharsi. 

En resumen, Prabhu Maharsi mencionó que  es mejor esperar un poco más de tiempo para la segunda iniciación porque no está de acuerdo con algunos aspectos que le parecen importantes, tales como trabajar bajo una línea de autoridad, mejorar la relación con las autoridades y sobre todo obediencia.

HpS - Pero por la fin de acuerdo y Vajendra-kumara Das ya es un Dvija!
 

Su Santidad Mahavisnu Swami se encuentra en México y Vrajendra viajará con Su Santidad a Panamá y después a Sud América, esta desicion  no fue grata para la autoridad pero finalmente yo fui testigo que le autorizó con la condición que a su regreso  a México las cosas funcionen de una mejor manera.
Vrajendra manifestó con humildad que no se encuentra bien pues ha hecho mucho servicio y tiene otras situaciones que aclarar en su mente y por ello  necesita  mucho tal viaje para su bienestar espiritual. 

Sacinandana prabhu es el actual jefe de pujaris.

HpS - Ya es?

Gurumaharaja me pareció importante responder Su amable carta, disculpe la tardanza por favor, sé que en este momento debe estar en el avión rumbo a India y la comunicación es más difícil. 
Que el Señor Nrsimhadeva manifieste su infinita misericordia de protección y éxitos en Su misión de Sankirtana. 

Disculpe las ofensas por favor 
Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente 
Asta Sakhi dd.

HpS - Gracias su carta? Como esta su estimado esposo? Su Sankirtan????  La Yatra?

Hare Krsna Adored Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.
    
All glories to you on the auspicious occasion of Vyasa Puja.

When we read about "Guru" in Shastra, we see you there. You are not an ordinary, you are one of greatest 'vairagya' we have seen ever.

HpS - Hare Krsna. We have eaten too much ice cream in recent times.

Always conscious for Krsna, You accept Krsna in everything and always in Vrndavana playing with Krsna and the cowherd boys in the deep beautiful forest.

HpS - TlgaSP!

Your 'Vairagya' bhava inspire us a lot. Your deep 'Vairagya' show your deep love for Lali-Lala in Vrandavan. Your 'Vairagya' give us enthusiasm to move forward with confidence that you are there to protect us.

You not required to go slowly in Krsna's thought. you immediately entered in Krsna's thought just like that, you don't require any situation, instead, in all situation you are with Lali-Lala. This inspire us to learn like you.

You make us representative of You, Srila Prabhupada, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur, Srila Bhaktivinoda thakur.......otherwise we are fool only.

When we are in service and if we tried to delivered by heart and if we able to deliver, tears come out from our eyes, without saying any word all good wishes goes to you. We automatically realize these are because of you, we don't have any capability to deliver. you are stand for us that is why we are there else, we are just fool and full with pride.

Because of your causeless mercy upon us, we are allowed to serve, otherwise we are simply worse than other animals.
Your caring, gives us caring from others.

Guru Maharaja, Lots of things are pending to learn from you so we pray for strength to follow you on the path of bhakti.
 
Thank you so much Gurudev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - AgtSP. We feel that we have so much to learn from you, Srila Prabhupada, all the devotees.

Hare Krsna, Srivasa pt, Ananta-rupa, Hari-lila Prabhus,

AgtSP. Paoho.

We are back from this HEAVY India-Australia tour. As expected three months sitting in our base-camp is going to be required to sort everything out and get our donkey recharged.

Plan is to go to South America, from Houston, on the 5th March, and return end of April.

Want to come with us?

As we do that we could visit San Jose and Boise the 2nd and 3rd week of February and Houston for the week last week of February.

Is this a good plan?

HpSwami

Dear Guru Maharaja:

All glories to Sri Sri Radha Krishna

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you

Please accept my most humble obeisances

This letter is urgent for the next reason, recently a problem appeared, I can´t afford the rent and I have to leave my apartment, I think I could rent a room at the Temple meanwhile I search a new home, is it ok?

I´m pretty sad for having to leave my house, I lived here 7 years and I have so much memories, but I would be happy if I went to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai´s home.

About the Ratha Yatra, was amazing, the happiness that I felt It wasn´t from this world, and I shared it with my family and friends. With Maha Vishnu Swami and the Harinama Ruci was my godbrother Vrajendra Kumara Das, I´m glad to know him, He´s very inspiring, thanks for the beautiful spiritual family you gave me.

Could you say to Sri Krishna that I love him, and I miss him? Tell him that I think about him everyday, please, please, please.

I hope your health is well Gurudeva, I don´t know how to express you all my love.

To serve you

Bhaktin Carol

ASA - Hare Krsna!   URGENT!    Yes, it seems O.K. to us to live in the Temple. Maybe Krsna is dragging you back to Him.

Hare Krsna.

DARK and COLD outside. 5.18PM. Shuffled money. Paid bills. If we want to get money from government retirement fund then we can't have more than $2000 in the bank, but we have to have at least $1500 to avoid monthy service charges. The banker looked at us and said, "How old are you?" and we said 70 in January. SHe said, "O.K. I'm going to give you a premium account for free. There is no minimum balance then". In every day there are good and bad things.

We have to duck the bad things.

Boing!

SB 6.7.16 — While Indra, the King of the demigods, thought in this way and repented in his own assembly, Bṛhaspati, the most powerful spiritual master, understood his mind. Thus he became invisible to Indra and left home, for Bṛhaspati was spiritually more powerful than King Indra.

Interesting. Become invisible. Approach Jagai and Madhai but be ready to duck.

hkhkhkhkhkhk

We talk-ed to Laksmana for 1/2 hour, then Tappan for 1/2 hour, the Abhi for 1/4 hour then went to the bank. Now we go to NgD house if we can get the car working.

Like Prahlada we just want to serve. We can always serve. Just chant HK!    So, nice!  Gauranga!  Gauranga!

Respected Guru-Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

ASA - Letuce feet. AgtSP!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and you, his unalloyed servant.

Thank you for keeping my family and I floating in the ocean of this material world for yet another year with your kind guidance, exemplary dealings and nectarian Krishna katha. At an advanced age, sacrificing your comforts and health, you tirelessly engage in Srila Prabhupada’s service for the welfare of the fallen souls.

You are humility personified whom even the lowest person can approach without fear.

HpS - We wonder who you are talking about! Maybe more appropriate would be, "We are hypocrisy personified whom even the lowest person fears to approach for becoming contaminated."

Your life is simply an example of Srila Rupa Gosvami’s Upadesamrta.

HpS - Ahh!   This is a letter about Srila Prabhupada!  Jaya!.

What can six urges do to you who have given body, mind and words to Krishna? What six things can destroy your bhakti who doesn’t even desire one proper meal a day or a comfortable place to live or sleep? All the six things that enhance devotion are part of your sublime character. You are expert in six kinds of loving exchanges and you treat three kinds of devotees in the most appropriate manner. Your faith in holy names is extremely deep and you do not see any difference between the Lord and His names. Your deep devotion to holy places leading up to Vrindavan dhama and the Lord’s devotees leading up to Srimati Radharani is marvelous.

This year I encountered many challenging situations but by your mercy my devotional service in general was much more in quantity compared to last year. At gross level things are fine in all areas but internal consciousness need to improve a lot. I struggle to chant attentive rounds and it’s a constant battle with my mind. I am begging you and Krishna to drag me to the best states of spiritual consciousness, from which there is no return, no matter what needs to be done with me!

My desire is that I simply recognize the greatest treasure the Lord has given me in the form of your association and acquire the needed intelligence and strength to serve you and your servants with every bit of myself life after life.

Please forgive my offenses and I hope to be of some use in your service to Srila Prabhupada. If all goes well and if I have yours and Radharani's mercy I will be celbrating this year vyasapuja in Sri Vrindavan Dham with my daughter, wife, mother and father. May be some magic will happen and other God brothers or sisters will join me!

HpS - Tungavidya Devi Dasi is there! Sita-pati Das.

Your insignificant servant
