Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaj

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I have just finished my final initiation exam, paperwork and have received my Letter of Recommendation from Ajita Prabhu (please see attachment). 

Govinda Caran Prabhu has confirmed that he will be able to conduct the initiation on Tuesday 19 July at approximately 9:30am-10am (Aust. time). We hope we can recieve name confirmation and any other details you wish to add via Govinda's email ([email protected]), by Monday 18 July evening Australian time. Otherwise we can postpone if necessary of course.

I have not asked for a Skype hook-up as I do not wish to add to your burdens, and am satisfied with the current arrangement. Thank you.

Lock and load, hari-haribol!

Your servant,

Jay.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Please excuse our delay.   As you know we were drowning in the Symposium and then the Five Cities tour in South America. It was very, very usefule, but the finale was 34-hours without laying down to sleep and then when we got to Houston, just as intense. Yesterday BAD chest pains. Doctor says, slow down or get a heart attack.

O.K.         Just put, "urgent" in the letter header and well answer very quickly.    The basic ISKCON rule, Brahminical rule, is that I should chant one round on your beads. Can you mail them to HpSwami; 2129 Stratford Rd.; Murfreesboro, TN 37129; USA?   We will be there August 1st, and stationed there until December. I was trying to avoid this but seems essential.

Hare Krshna Maharaj, 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to you...

Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

I am really happy to know you are doing well, for me, Im doing well too; I am happy here in the temple going to get flowers for our Lordships and also trying to chant more rounds than the ones established and also following the principles, I am on a period of vacation from University but one of my family members passed away couple of days ago and I still feel some pain.

HpS - We have heard that Prabhupada said that that is natural. It is like some family member goes to a foreign country to work for 9-months. The whole family comes to see his boat leave and all feel very intense separation. They will exchange letters and phone calls, but their is a natural separation, but we dont think that the personal associate has ceased to exist!

I have a list of the ones who lead Mangala Arati Kirtan here in Mexico mandir from last week, there is nine of them: Mataji Alina, Prabhu Dharmaraja, Prabhu Ramacandra, Prabhu Adoksaja, Prabhu Mahasankarsana, Prabhu Uddharana, Prabhu Efraín, and Prabhu Hari Gopal

I hope this is useful for you. Please let me know if there is something I can do to serve you.

HpS - It is such a nice list!  Thank you. We hope people send us lists like this from other Temples.
What are the Bhagavatam class verses?

P.S.:Dear Maharaja...I also write to you.. to confirm my assistance to the airport on the 13th of July.

Your insignificant servant Bhaktin Diana

HpS - I hope all goes well and we can exit the airport and meet with everyone.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

I just read your thoughts on Divorce, and they are extremely positive, thought-provoking and Krishna Conscious. Having read them, I felt shame on myself, since some people in the community had asked my opinion about it and I gave them very wrong advice. But now, my eyes are opened and as a result, I would call those people who had asked my advice in the past, and would share your letter with them, thank you so much.

I am going to India in the 2nd week of Nov with all the family-members to attend the marriage of my Ganganagar sister's daughter (Silky) for two weeks.  Guruji! you were saying that His Grace Nitai-Gaur Sundar Prabhu is going to India with his family-members for Kartik, and since there is no association of anyone for you in Nashville during that time, you were thinking where to go? My humble advice is that you may go to India for Kartik with them, they would be happy to have your loving assoiciation or may be you can kindly come to India bit later, then, we can have your holy assoicitation and even I can arrange some preaching programs in Punjab, what do you think? I am giving all these suggestions because you were thinking where to go when Shriman Nitai-Gaur Sundar Prabhu is not there.

Thank you very much, HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

HpS - AgtSP.  Hare Krsna.   Thank you so much for your news and help in our travel plans.    These are just our thoughts on Divorce and polygamy from practical point of view.   We may go to India for the Guru, Swami, GBC Sanga in the beginning of February, and to go twice may kill us. The travel was so so hard on our body last time.
We are just finishing this INTENSE program in Peru with the National Library et al.  Hansadutta told us in very intense moments: Your job in this movement is to see that people who come, dont go away, and your will be appreciated after you are gone. This is the same comment we have gotten from so many sources from first grade to PhD work.  O.K. Seems we have to learn how to write.    Please help us a little bit with that.

You write a few short poems!
All best wishes for Silky and all your family and friends.

Querido Gurumaharaja
Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias!
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 
Hemos recibido las japitas para la corrección y el donativo.
Felices de saber del maravilloso programa en Perú.

Disculpe, cuál es el número de vuelo y aerolínea de llegada a México el 13 de Julio?

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna.  Gracias su asociacion.  Aero Mexico 19, llegando 13 julio, Miercoles, 6.30AM y salido AM 470, 1.45PM.


Saranagati Dasi y familia viven a 20 minutos del aeropuerto, en auto, es una opción, por si existe la posibilidad de salir del aeropuerto. De todas maneras, ese día llevaremos prasadam para todos, a cualquier lado.

HpS - Aparece bueno si podemos descanzar y hablar con todos en casa de Saranagati. No es inconveniente para ella?

Gurumaharaja, necesita que algún vaisnava en particular, vaya al aeropuerto? Algo que México pueda ofrecer a Usted?

ASA - Tamales para Sr. Nrsmhadeva?!!

Muchísimas gracias por la alegría de poder verlo en pocos dias !!!! Es una necesidad muy grande para todos nosotros.

Disculpe nuestras faltas y escasos logros por favor.

Hare Krsna Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeissances!
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I am wirting you to ask for your blessings in visiting our new Bhakti House Center during your next visit to Guayaquil Yatra. We are now in a bigger house and have now more active outreach programs like yoga, cooking courses, kirtan, and Gita reading every week. By Krsna's grace the program is slowly growing and now we are having a small group of friends who are regularly chanting Hare Krishna. We have now opened a prasadam space , serving 4 nights a week, with a group of devotees who now reside here too. 

Maharaja also please let me know if we can again do another conference at the Casa Grande University or at Universidad Catolica de Guayaquil. During your last conference many friends were very happy to come and hear your presentations. Please again guide me on who to connect to in order to arrange the program here in Gye, if you think it will be ok. 

We are very happy to hear that you will be visiting, many of us need your inspiration and association. Please let us serve you in anyway you find it fitting, 

your servants at Bhakti Hosue Guayaquil

HpS - AgtSP! Thank you for this news from ISKCON Guayaquil. Laksman agra ja Das is suggesting we visit Guayaquil during our next visit to South America. That would be end of December and start of January. You should watch for Calender Development and Category B posts here. From that you can get a copy of our Journal, "Solaris", which gives our humble preaching work.

What kind of Gita classes are you doing??!
