Letters to the editor

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

(Yesterday) we talked about publishing somewhere your Encyclopedia articles. But we did not finished the topic. I would be happy if I can (try) to do that. If you agree, please tell me what and where should be done.

HpS - ASA -- If we have anything to offer we might put it in this encyclopedia format. We could post articles or revisions to articles here in the Blog and if you could then update (changing the name) the file in the ASA Archivesthat would be great. The current file in the Archives is asa-encyclopedia170810.docx. If it is updated on the 15th of September it will become asa-encyclopedia170915.docx.
Might work?
There were already I think two articles that we posted. They are probably in Category B.  Hmmm!    An encyclopedia according to Brown and White et al.  Maybe other would like to submit articles also!

Another thing... Did you and devotee from MOE thought to publish/share the Journal online? Websites like Dandavats, https://news.iskcon.org, GBC website are possible good places.

HpS - Thank you very much. Would you like to become a Member of the Executive Committee of the Ministry of Education?

And one more thing... I feel really grateful for and appreciate a lot our Monday meetings.

HpS - We feel very grateful for your association and of course those meetings, 8.30PM, Monday, at Startmeeting.com, are especially designed for anyone in Europe to join, or anywhere else - ASA - ABC.

HpS - Hare Krsna. We sent text message and called to 91 -- 97641 64240, 81490 96023 and could not connect. Which number should we use to call you. Is 10.30PM now your time. Seems we can fly from Indor to Pune on the 5th, Thursday in the afternoon, then stay until Sunday the 8th. Either leave early on Sunday to go to Bombay for Sunday program or stay for Sunday program in Pune and go to Bombay by car after that.

Hare Krsna, Brown here!
9.56PM. Long, 85% perfect, day. Got headache. Pushed to answer letters. Caught up to about a week and six days ago.
Nanuk Ji brings up a lot of topics that really disturb people, pedophilia, poisoning Prabhupada. We deleted three his (your) letters because they were short and seemed to be redundant on this same point of poisoning Prabhupada.

4-hour kirtan we great yesterday. about 65-people came. we led for 30-minutes. was very intense. we are like on the vayu loka platform. don't like to touch our bhumi mandala body when we chant. have to get to the goloka platform!

also pushed the kirtan when other's were chanting. can see everyone advances by the kirtan with devotees.

all the nios and moe work is going on.

we did eight pages of sketch book for Ramon. Maybe it will get to him.

Guess that's a good extract of today's sankirtan.

Good night. We will read the Krsna book. Chapter after Trnavarta.

See you in FMP!

So much result in this world from this Kirtan.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

How are you??

HpS - ASA - Pretty good.

How is Sankirtana??

HpS - We struggle to get the books out according to our nature of preaching: Movies, symposia. People we meet while traveling.

Very nice seeing you today at mayapur.tv in Huston.. Always inspiring our spiritual life..

HpS - We wish we could see you-all in Brazil on Mayapura TV.

This opportunity to thank you for the opportunity to have your asosiation [association] in Santiago de Chile...I know and always try to imagine the big effort you are doing to manteing this Sankirtana Program...The Programs in Santiago were amazing.. All of them!!!

HpS - We were amazed. It was really amazing being in Parasurama Das' Dojo facing all their uniformed B'caris in our uniforms.

Krishna is giving me a lot of Mercy, cause your Mercy....

I'm in Campina Grande, Danwantari Swami Jaladuta Institute wright now!!!

Asosiation with Devakinanda das very favorable...Helping me a lot to grow in my personal caracter and my service of lidership...

Starting with bhakti Vaibhaba Study...1.2

Every thing I study takes me to Siksastaka...So I'm preparing PowerPoint of "the 7 stages of purifation and transcendental elevation"....ohhhh is Nectar every thing I study is in the Siksastaka...Is like Nectar of Instruction...Every thing is there...

Serving Maharaja with students...lots of service!!

Mharaja is very merciful with us...

Thanks again for your help....

Next year I would like to travel with you maybe Peru and Chile, or India...if you give me the opportunity to help you with anything I can...

Hare Krishna...

This poor servant

Panca tattva dasa

HpS - Thank you so much for Jaladutta news. Send us more. Respects to Maharaja and Devaki et al. Seven stages of Bhakti is from first verse of Siksastakam? They seem to match the six levels of Bhakti that Rupa Goswami describes in beginning of BRS: Freedom from distress, harmony... songs by Bh. Vinode Th. based upon Siksastakam, no?

Maybe we go to India again in the Spring?

Jaladutta news!
 

Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - Thank you so, so, much for your Sankirtan service!!

Please excuse me for writing again about topics of free will, but I don’t understand some things and it seems somehow connected with understanding real identity of soul. Should I try to understand these?

HpS - From your general statement, yes, of course.

My understanding of soul is to be observer of what this subtle and gross body do.
I still don’t understand if for example desire to make specific project for Krishna and Srila Prabhupada is not just all how this subtle body is programmed to do. Is it really my desire?

HpS - 15%.

If me as the soul will be inserted in body (subtle and gross) of somebody else, will I will have same desire to do specific service, or will that be different or in case of bad body will not want to do anything useful at all? Will something change in that person live if there will be sitting different soul inside?

HpS - If you have a Hennessey Venom GT you are going to want to drive fast. If you are in a female body with female karma, vasanas from many lifetimes you will want to have a nice husband who loves you and protects you and your babies (FOR KRSNA).

Is it just that when we are fortunate to be engaged in devotional service, we as soul just observe how service is done (although it may be done by already programmed body, mind and inteligence) and by that soul starts to remember relationship which has with Krishna and real identity in spiritual world, thus wake up from all this?

HpS - Adau sraddha, sadhu sanga...  BG 4.10 purport. So many times Prabhupada paraphrases our spiritual development using this verse. In NOI (8?) he does it. I realize that I am not the sense objects. I try to serve Krsna by the little spark in my heart, "Brahmanda brahmita kaun.." but have to see it manifest in the sense objects, my mind. Jayananda Das was a mechanical engineer so he built Rathayatra carts for Krsna. You are a software engineer so you do Vedabase.io. If you were in a body like your good wife you would create the next Krsna conscious Emperor of the World. In the beginning we are just watching the service like children on father's lap 'driving' car, but as we get purified we contribute more by our choice, taste. This is our understanding.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

PS: I will send you Vedabase updates soon.
