Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Dear Maharaj!
 

Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupad! All glories to Sri Gaurangaaa! All glories to you! 
 

I was writing in regards to your update on the blog with Delta – and praying to serve you in some way! Would it be okay for my family and I to sponsor an upgrade to your ticket?! To business or first class?! If you send your flight details, I can work out the upgrade on my end and send it back to you.
 

Or you could modify if you prefer and then just send the bill for the ticket! Please let me know! 
 

When are you leaving India, and where are you heading to next? Houston? Please please please let us be of service! I understand your health has been wavering and would very much be obliged if I can assist in any way for your comfort for such a long journey. 
 

Thank you for your mercy!
 

Your aspiring servant,
 

SuGopi dd
 

(this was sent as an email as well-- intended for whichever you checked first!)

HpS - Thank you. We just answered this and the next letter with copies to Jiva Goswami in Texas. If it can be upgraded by your friend that is O.K.    However, we think that the Upgrade effort will only work if Krsna wants. If He wants it will have a negative effect and we will get to the airport and they will say, "Oh, something has happened to your ticket and it is cancelled!".

Haw!   Haw!   Hurray!.      Maya tries to make us furious at Her.  Hate her, lust after her, she doesn't care. In either case we are attached dominating her and not serving Krsna. She has her job. We don't concern oursleves with it too much unless it is part of our service also!

Hare Krsna!  Hare Rama!

It took almost one month for the answer from Delta, and it seems that they have a poorly paid employee who reads many letters like ours daily and then picks a form letter and fills in some spaces in the letter with extracts from the complaint letter and then gives a token compensation of Sky Miles and goes on to the next letter. It is actually funny, crazy! How can people exist like this? Of course, they can't. Marsha does this out of fear of death and starvation and humiliation and abandonment and drowns her sorrows in some form of intoxication.

We would say that the best preaching strategy in these situations is the one that it appears Prahlad Maharaja adopted when preaching to his father: Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (7.5.30) and the few accompanying texts. Apparently he did not think his father would accept his comments, but at least he heard the truth and at some point it would have an effect.

In Vrndavana Dhama only Krsna and Balarama kill demons. Everyone else just calls, "Hare Krsna!   Hare Rama!". . . unless K/B empower us to kill demons.

                  Whhooooosh@     Bang!     Gronk!!!       SMashHH!

Dear Dr. Robinson,

RE: Case Number 22345393

Thanks for your email letting us know about your scheduled trip from IAH with Air France. I'm really sorry your flight was delayed. I realize how frustrating it was to be rerouted to travel with KLM via Amsterdam, and because you had to wait so long in line when you arrived, you missed your connection with Jet Airways to Delhi and ended up spending the night at the airport. It's also disappointing to hear that you didn't get the care you were expecting when you were delayed.

I will be sure to forward your concerns on to our Airport Customer Service Leadership Team, so they can consider your experience when making needed changes to improve our service. 

Bonus Miles 
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but we're unable to offer a complimentary upgrade or ticket as you've requested. As a goodwill gesture, I’m adding 20,000 bonus miles to your SkyMiles account. They should be transferred into your account within three business days.  

We love that you're a SkyMiles member. We will do our best to serve you well on your next flight with us.

Regards,

Marsha Smith

Next, is a preview of the ´academic sankirtana´ for June of this year:

I.- This year, the activity is a Little smaller than last year´s, the reason being that we are going to establish-starting in March-the Organizing Committee, and the International committee of Honor for the mega-event, by June of 2018: ART AND THE SACRED; that is our priority.

Final reflections With guest speakers.

Please, anybody who may want to give their suggestions, write to [email protected].  Thank you very much. Hare Krishna!!

ASA - It seems very weak unless the speakers have lots of chance to develop their dialog on the topics before the public presentations in June!

Of course, we have been very busy during this travel, but it is certainly related!  We should also be able to include a very strong presentation from Indians in the above events, and the individual dialogs from all the contacts we are making. Also, we can work on the content of the next Solaris.
We hope to have more of a report in the next few days!!!
