Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Mahara, Please accept my humble obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
Prof Gupta has food poisoning, and he is burdened up with work (not everybody is Connected to SPOG as your grace does).
We called on your USA number twice, it went to voicemail.
We will try to make sure he contacts you by monday night.

salute,
by passionate horse

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna, Horsey!
Monkey, Piggy here. We arrived back in Nashville, finish of our India-Australia tour, at 8.15PM Saturday night. Traveled with NGD in Amita Ji's car to the 'boro. Our body is still stressed from the travel in general, material world in general, and the last push which included 45-hours from Kolkata Temple to Houston ISKCON.

We seem to have fundamental good health and now, Monday, we are greatly recovered. Our priorities are pretty clear. That's the greatest secret, no?  Having clear priorities, for eternity, this lifetime, today...

Going back to India just after two months is going to be GREAT stress. Nitai-gaurasundara Das (NGD) is like basically fobidding it unless we get a 1st class ticket. Then the stress will be about 70% less. It will still be an austerity, but the conference topic, description, sponsors, seems very nice. Very well related to all of our work, ISKCON's development.

I think it is going to be too much, but we will try to talk with Dr. Pankaj. Maybe we can submit a paper. We would like to be part of the group and its work. The ILS in Mayapura particpation also seems to be impractical in February. Will talk with Sesa Das today about it, but seems best thing is to rest here, work on the Ministry of Education Journal, and go to South America in February-March.

We can sort it all out here in the Blog!
Thank you so very many much for your association. You are very tolerant and merciful. AGTSP!!!!

HpS - ASA

We wrote a letter to Gopal Bhatta Das about presenting at the ILS, 4th-11th of February in Mayapura. Follows our note to Harsh about an invitation to the "Symposiom on Business, Management and Spirituality in a Global Environment" organized by the Jendal Group in Delhi 24-25 January.

If we get confirmations for both we would go back to India for the 15th January to the 28th February. Is it too much stress on our body?   Hmmm?   We are all going to die but if we can do such nice preaching then let's die that way, no?

Hare Krsna, Prabhu [Harsh]!
AGTSP.
We arrived sick as a dog, but pretty strong at heart. Forty-five hours of hard travel.

How can we serve you?

We have not heard from Pankaj Gupta Ji. We need to buy our tickets for India by the 15th. We need to hear from him a formal invitation and confirmation of participation as a Keynote Speaker or something like that. We need to talk with the organizers in Toronto (?) and see if we are going to be friends on this project.
Can you please contact him?

Hare Rama!!!

Hare Krsna!

Brown Tom here.

Arrived Houston ISKCON at 3.30PM Wednesday. Left Kolkata Temple at 8AM, Tuesday (= 7.30PM Monday, Houston Time). So we traveled HARD for 48-5hours = 43-hours - Kolkata-Delhi-Amsterdam-Houston.

We got association of Harsh, Sita-pati, Sataksi, Sri Hari and Mataji in Delhi Temple and went for arati and kirtan of Radha Partha-sarathi.

Ooof!     Lot of airplanes, lot of lines, lot of terrible seats, lot of impersonal people!  Some nice people. Quite a few devotees traveling (Hari Bol!)

Our "health" is O.K. We are 'yellow line". Push any more and we can die. Got light but deep fever.

Got 13-17 rounds done. Watched some movies on arquitecture, pyramids, gave class. Gonna call Joshua and go to evening program and eat Mother Subra's vegetable soup.

It's 4.30PM dark and cold, but Radha Nila-madhav are dressed like a BEAUTIFUL bowl of fruit.

Hare Krsna.

Material scientists all say that to construct the pyramids ar Giza in 20-years you would have had to put one 20-ton block in place every 5-minutes 24-hours a day.

Let's give 'em a rest and say 10-blocks every hour and the night off. These are like 5-ton blocks. Takes  a lot of people to pull 5-tons and then they fit within .5-mm on the camping surface and the North South orientation is tighter than the Greenwich observatory.

There are many aquitectural remnants like this that show a very advanced technological and social culture. Electricity and atomis power are just one of the many subtle wonders of the material energy.

Why not develop geo-magnetism and have resonating centers all around the world. You bring in a large crystal to the pyramid. We charge it and take 200 pounds of wheat and you get atomic energy for two months.

Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a usted querido gurudeva! 

todas las glorias a los devotos!

gracias por respondedor nuevamente mi carta.

Estamos intentando cada día mejorar, tener una visión diferente de las cosas, ver una pequeña cosa más allá. Queremos cosas que nos disgustan que vamos a aceptarlas y ver por que suceden. Krishna siempre está queriendo lo mejor para sus devotos, entonces las cosas que supuestamente son malas nuevas, buenas para seguir para sirviendo a los pies de los lotos del señor Krishna y su amada srimati Radharani.

hablando un poco de cualidades. ... que piensa acercar del caracter? Creo que tengo mucho, no quiero ser grosera, ni nada ni mucho menos, menos que los devotos, solo que veo que cuando digo las cosas que me gusta, me gusta mucho, me gusta ser una persona directa y siempre me deja con la sinceridad. a llevado a conflictos, como buenas amistades de años y de confianza. ¿Cree acaso que debería cambiar mi forma de ser?

HpS - ASA -- We can understand about 65% of your letter. You are writing in a very subtle form that would require one to understand the ambience of Santiago to understand your sentiments. It is like myself talking about my character and comportment here in USA, Nashville.

As you describe things, your character seems to be great. Very progressive. I would just suggest some practical experiments: eg. Say some nice Krsna conscious thing to some one every day or more often.

-también querido contestar que e soñado con usted. El sueño es que lo mire con los ojos cerrados, pero cuando intento acercarme usted abre los ojos y sus ojos son como los del señor JAGANNATHA.! Y me dijiste que ya nos conocíamos desde hace mucho tiempo. 

HpS - ASA - Very interesting.

estamos en el templo de Chile haciendo servicio de sankirtan todos los días. ¡y espera volver a verlo pronto para volver a tener su hermosa Asociación! 

querido gurudeva me despido con el deseo de que krishna lo siga protegiendo en todo momento y que de la fuerza suficiente para que pueda Seguir sirviendo a krishna ya los devotos! !!

su sirvienta María Bernarda.

HpS - Thank you very much for you letter. We can remember you very well!  We remember how much your Temple authorities depended on you. You can use Translate.google.com to translate our writings. We use simple words and simple grammar so that the robot will have no trouble.

Let's see how how the robot handles this one:

"Seven cities ply for the body of Homer dead, through which the living Homer begged his bread".

Write some stories about Santaigo. Set them in the 19th century with modern Krsna consciousness.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru Maharaj Hps!!

PAOHO at Your Lotus feet!

ASA - Lettuce feet. We still ran some Kid's cartoons on the airplane, with no sound, instead of looking at the back of the seat in front of us for 17-hours. Guess we should have read Krsna book, but we are still on a little bit mental level. AGTSP.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

We miss you.....

Thank you so much for the ecstatic association....we simply feel so unhappy that we could not serve Guru Maharaj enough....

We hope to work on the psyche of terminally ill cancer patients on therapy.....sometimes it is so frustrating for the doctors and the patients alike. Coming with hope to someone who himself is looking for hope....

HpS - When you have an old car it is good, because you are thinking, in a little bit I can get a new car. This time I will make a better choice.

If we have lived poorly and our money for our next car is not good then we can realize that there is no mistake that we cannot rectify, so we can take death as a good friend, pushing us to improve, and start improving our future.

If people WANT to be vicitims, live so they can claim that there is no God, then that is their option. Let them do it. Watch them create a mess and laugh at their efforts, like Narada Muni with Kamsa, then see how Krsna deals with them, dealt with Kamsa.

Working on the open air theatre...planning to screen documentaries....and Peruvian Reflections (again) on Vyaas Puja of Guru Maharaj.The movie was magical....we loved it so much!

The Manipuri narration was very nice. How was the slide show? You can see that it was designed for a Western audience, but the three Texts we selected may be good for a Manipuri audience also. I think Manipur is a great place to develop LOB. It can travel all over the world. There are texts for jeriatic patients.

Hope Guru Maharaj's health is fine now.....please forgive us for all the inconveniences caused to Guru maharaj.

Sending the pics very soon Guru Maharaj

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - We also answered one letter from Yamunesvara Das. Please give our thanks to all the participants and promoters at the University program. We hope to do more.

Our health is not good. It was 45-hours from the Kolkata Temple to the Houston Temple. Here we are resting and getting healthy atmosphere. This is all very normal. It is hard to think of organizing things any better. We are getting, and giving, eternal benefit from these programs.

Please continue to write!

Again, thanks to the many, many people, Pusta, everyone that helped!

All Glories to A.C. Prabhupada, Sripada Maharaja

All Glories to Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay!

Guru Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that after the completion of Guruji's N.E. Tour programme from 1st to 4th Nov. 2017 I want to know what is Guruji's impression? I am so sorry that I could not organised collectively in Thoubal because from the begining there is two groups. I alone manage in my level best but it is not satisfactoraly. What are the ideas to improve our Mandir and the management?

HpS - Hare Krsna. The program was satisfactory. We felt that there was much room for improvement, but also many very nice things. I have also, and even now, am faced with what seem to be mismanagement by my Godbrothers and other ISKCON associates.

Sometimes they are just as sincere as we are or even more sincere but their situation is just as difficult as ours and they cannot make things better.

In all situations we try our best. At every moment try to reduce our own stupidity and make our contribution better.

All efforto for Krsna has an eternal result and our situation, purity, strength will increase, life after life. We will be able to do more and more for Radha-Krsna, ISKCON.

You are doing very well. Just keep on the same path. Keep up with your personal reading. Write to the Blog and send your management suggestions here. Don't change your path just improve how you. are doing it. For example, how many rounds do you have done by 10AM each day?  Thank you for your help. Thanks to all the devotees in Manipur Yatra.

Hare Krsna, Guruji Maharaja!

We are so sorry that we left airport without asking flight positon. I get the news of Guruji's flight was late  for 3 three hours. Again I came to know that Rituraj is going Guwahati by another flight.

Always we need Guruji's advice, today and in future.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das
