Letters to the editor

Querido Gurumaharaja: 

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Gurumaharaja, nosotros no merecemos,  pero si necesitamos muchísimo Su asociación vapuh. 

Entendemos que hubo una gran diferencia de $$$ en los precios de ticket para el viaje a India y surgieron cambios de fecha para México. 

Seremos muy afortunados si aún existe la posibilidad de tomar su asociación vapuh en las fechas de Navidad de este año. 

Prabhu Radhika Raman también vendría con Usted a México ? 

Esto sería increíble, porque de esa manera podriamos hacer el reporte oficial de " Psicología y lo Sagrado" junto con madre Lalita Gopi y podemos hacer algo de tours por Tulansingo también.

Marathon termina 31 de Diciembre y la mayoría de sankirtaneros regresan la primera semana de Enero para hacer la fiesta de Sankirtana. 

Muchas gracias Gurumaharaja, porsupuesto,  primeramente deseamos no sobrecargar Su agenda de viajes dando prioridad a Su importante prédica. 

Por favor disculpe que recién escribo, gracias a Srila Prabhupada estamos bien. Si estuvimos un poco  ocupados con algunos servicios regulares de pujari, (puja y snana) 

En los festivales también nos permiten poner el vestido de flores a Sri Sri Radha y Krsna chota, tratamos de esforzarnos, entiendo que las Deidades son las principales predicadores. 

 Producciones Artísticas Natabara ( Lavanga dd, Karuna sakti dd y Asta Sakhi dd) presentó la obra " El malvado  Kamsa" en Janmahstami, enfocando básicamente el lado de la irreligiosidad y los motivos principales por lo que el Mismo Señor Supremo desciende a ejecutar Sus lilas. Parece que fue buena prédica. 

Adjunto algunas fotos. 

Por favor disculpe nuestras ofensas. 

Su eterna aspirante a sirviente 

Asta Sakhi dd

HpS - ASA --- Jaya!   Nuestra vuelo a India (como llegar para el simposio en Tirupati 2 Enero) es 30 Deciembre a las 4PM de Houston.
Entonces, vamos a ir a Mexico como 25 Deciembre, Navidad?  Va a ser un disturbio para la marathon?  Hay muchos modos distribuir libros.   Posible podemos relacionar esta visita mas de esta manera.  Otro opcion es pasar por Mexico cuando regresamos de India como 15 febero.

Gracias noticias de sus Dramas, todo!   Super.  !SANKIRTAN!

Esperamos su respuesta y commentarios de otros.

Letter to Sriman Acarya-ratna Das, President, ISKCON, Kolkatta

Hare Krsna, Prabhu,

AGTSP!    Paoho.   We have not heard much from you for a long time, but of course you have also not heard much from us either.

Dr. Samaresh tried several times and ways to call the devotee whose phone number you gave us and it was always, "Out of Reach", even on the weekends.  Lamentably I could not follow up on that any more.

We really are hoping to get the association of all of you soon.

We have continued with this academic Sankirtan and by the unlimited mercy of Srila Prabhupada there have been amazing results. The last thing we did was a Symposium on Psychology and the Sacred in partnership with the National Library of Peru. This is one of the most prestigious and interesting in the world, with many ancient manuscripts and intense areas of artistic and scholarly investigation.

Please, go to youtube.com and use the keywords: psychology and the sacred 2016, to find a short and little longer, very illuminating, video extract of the event. The Ambassador of India, the scholars, everyone, wants to develop this more.

I hope very much that you and everyone can take leading effort in this Sankirtan, why else call your selves residents of Kolkatta, the City of Joy.

We got a Houston - Delhi - Houston ticket for only $785!    We will be in the glorious land of Bharata from 1st January to 15th February.  The beginning and end are tied down with 2-6 January and 7-10th in Tirupati and Madras with Radhika-raman and Krsna-ksetra for a Vaisnava-Christian Dialog and a Bhagavata Symposium, University of Madras.

Are you participating in these???

Then at the end like 10-14th February is the Guru, GBC, Sannyasi Sanga in Sri Sri Sri Dhama Maypura.

What shall we do in between. We have calls from Rama-giri-dhari Das and Goloka Education, Pune, and Manipur, but we are always very much at your service!!!

What city can be more enlivening than Kolkatta!

Dear Swamiji,

PAMHO, AGTSP. Anhimanu prabhi [Abhimanyu Prabhu] is still going strong at th Bhaktivedanta Academy an Bhaktivedanta Dharma School. I was wonderong og you might consider visiting Bali in February after you go to India. We are fairly close.

Your servant

Ken

HpS - ASA --- We would like to very much, but it would have to be arrangement of Krsna.   We got this very cheap ticket, $785, Houston<>Delhi, but no stop-overs possible, but keep on glorifying your Yatra and maybe it will attract the mind of Krsna in our hearts!!!

Do they do farming with mules and buffalos there?

Hare krishna Gurudeva, Pamho-tlgSP, Tlg a Usted. 

Espero que al recibir este mensaje se encuentre bien de salud.

HpS - AGTSP!   Salud esta bien, Vd? 

Gurudeva el Profesor Graciano Gonzales Arnaiz, quien es uno de los cinco contactos que nos ha facilitado Abhiram Prabhu, aceptó entrevistarse con usted. 

El nos ha pedido llevarla acabo para el mes de Octubre, ya que ahora se encuentra de viaje.

Volveremos nuevamente a ponernos en contacto con èl a finales de este mes, para concretar fecha y hora.

De momento eso es todo. 

Muchísimas gracias por dejarnos colaborar con este pequeño servicio. 

Sus aspirantes a sirvientes Sananda & bhadra vardhana.

HpS - En la otra carta a Vd. estamos explicando el viaje ahora en terminos de parar en Espanya regresando de India.  Ya no es posible, PERO, otro visita particular es bueno.

Podemos, todos, hablar por Skype?  Vds en cuarto con el con alguien otro quien es devoto/psychologo en Espana?

                    HARE KRSNA GURUDEVA,

                    PAOHO, AGTSP

                    HOW ARE YOU?

HpS - ASA -- We are O.K.   Our days are like 97% Krsna-conscousness. We just have to get the other 3% purified and that takes WORK!

                    OK, WE THOUGHT OF TWO POSIBLE TOPICS FOR NEXT SOLARIS:

                    "ECOLOGY, EVOLUTION AND MENTAL HEALTH"

HpS - Each of these topics are whole areas in themselves and can be connected to the SB etc very nicely.

                     "HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY AND ITS ORIGINS" (IT COULD BE EASILY CONECTED TO JUNG AND THEN THE BRIDGES BETWEEN ORIENT AND WEST, COULDN´T IT?)

HpS - Is Humanistic Psychology still a School of Psychology. Carl Rogers, Gordon Allport and other worked under that name. What has become of it now. We see that Dr. Almendro and others are using Trans-personal Psychology but that they attempted to have it listed as a formal division of Psychology by the American Psychological Association and failed. It goes in as a sub-division of somethings else.

                     <img alt="indecision" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/whatchutalkingabout_smile.png" title="indecision" width="23" />...

HpS - It seems that all these topics depend on who they will reach. If we are focused on "Art and the Sacred" for 2018, and another "Psychology and the Sacred" in 2017 that would be feeding into the 2018 theme, then from that perspective we could determine our audience. To whom do we want to preach. Prabhupada established institutions and wrote different things for preaching to different communities.
Please continue to meditate on this!
We got a letter from Kalyan Kumar Cakravarty. He is in the current issue of Solaris and is in Spain until 30 September. I told him that you all could help him if he wanted to get in contact with you. 

                      WE HAVE WRITTEN TO ALL THE CONTACTS, EXCEPT FOR ONE...WE WILL DO THAT ONE SOON...

                      WE WISH TO KNOW THE EXACT DATES  THAT YOU WILL BE HERE SO WE CAN START ORGANIZING.

HpS - ASA --- Ooomp!    Did you see our India itenarary?    We spent THREE-HOURS working on the India (Europe) ticket and had quotes up to $6500.   We tried left, right, center, leaving from different places, including segment for Madrid, including stop-over for Amsterdam and then looking for separate ticket for Madrid....    Conclusion is for $785 (incredible price) we have a round-trip ticket from Houston, Texas to Delhi.

Now.   It appears that God wants us to work on visiting Europe as a whole separate show. That makes sense to me.

So, the Spain dates are open!!!    If we get a chance to meet with Shonu Shyamadasani we will be there tomorrow [more or less].

                       NICE THINGS NICELLY, AND AVOID YOU GETTING SO TIRED LIKE LAST YEAR (AFTER SUCH HORRIBLE

                       TRIP...ETC)

                       THANK YOU FOR LET US DO OUR BEST TO SERVE YOU, THANK YOU ALSO FOR YOUR DAILY ASSOCIATION

                       AND THE CHANCE TO GRADUALLY BECOME ACTUAL PEOPLE.

                       BHADRA VD AND SANANDA DD

HpS - Our pear tree had some disease when we bought it. Maybe thats why it was only $12 and now it is spreading. We don't know what will happen. We pray for it and water it.

08/27/16  Esteemed Guru Maharaja:  All glories to Srila Prabhupada!  Please acceptmy humble obeisances.

1.     Yes I can do some editing.  Thank you for the offer of this seva!  If there are questions on my part, I will be able to contact Monkey or Piggy via text, phone or personal e-mail, no?  If so, please send me an attachment so I can take a look at the project.  T.Y.

ASA - We are just getting to the actual work now. We are supposed to have all the files, now we need to open them and then we can start send to you if need be.

2.  By Krsna's mercy, ISKON Sac Janmastami program went smoothly with 200 attending!!!! I will request Dave P attach photos to another e-mail within 2 days.

ASA - Jaya!!!!

Best I can do.  YR attended with Mother Lucille.  Was sooo good to see her!!!  She looked the same; recently broke a toe so is coping with that.  Said she has rented out their previous house and she cannot go back there for grieving.  She has stayed in 26 different places during the last year.  I guess with Narayan Maharaja devotees, 2 weeks at a time.  I will contanct her soon.  She's a dear.

HpS - Please give our respects!   Can she join our Blog?

3.     "Iron Woman."  I like that!  The iron has put me on my feet but I'm still tired alot and need too much rest.  Chanting is very nice.. Hoping energy will improve in time as I begin to store more iron reserve in bone marrow.

HpS - We have never had any problem with being vegetarian for over 40-years. If there was a Vitamin B-12 deficiency of something like that you think it would have shown up by now.  Every Body is different.

3.    Hummmm... leave body.  Not sure this event is immenent.  However maintaining body is getting disgustingly time consuming.

4.     Jai Radhe!  Jai Krsna!

Your useless servant,

Kalindi Devi Dasi

HpS - ASA --- Thank you for news from New Jagannatha Puri.  Second week in June is the plan for  Seattle, Education with ISKCON.  We could come to Bay Area before that. Muck around in autos and then all get on the Amtrac and ride together on the Sunset Limited to Seattle.
