Letters to the editor

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Querido Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

Espero que se encuentre muy bien. Acá Bhakta Rodrigo de Santiago de Chile.

ASA - Jaya!

 *Muchas gracias por su última carta en el blog monkey warrior. A mí también me gusta MUCHO cantar Hare Krsna, con Vd!!!  

*Raúl Zurita está muy ocupado, muchas invitaciones en Chile y otros países, pero esperamos verlo muy pronto.

Gurudeva si usted escribe a Raúl Zurita, él se va alegrar mucho.

Su correo personal es: XXX

(por favor no publicar correo de Raúl)

Este es nuestro reporte de cultura:

*Ya está confirmada una conferencia de Usted en la Biblioteca Nacional para el miércoles 13 de enero.

Arjuna, Jagad Guru y yo pensamos que lo mejor es la conferencia sobre Carl Jung, ya que la vez pasada fue todo un éxito.

Claro, nosotros sugerimos el nombre “Carl Jung y la tradición Védica” a las personas de la Biblioteca Nacional. ¿Está bien ese nombre?

ASA - Pienso mejor es: El Proyecto: Psicología y lo Sagrado. Practical projects and Strategic thinking between East and West, Carl Jung and the Bhagavata of India. 

*Hace poco visitó Chile SG. Visuddha Sattva Prabhu, discípulo de Srila Prabhupada. Él es poeta, traductor y miembro del Consejo Directivo del Bhaktivedanta Institute.

Por misericordia de Krishna y Srila Prabhupada, Dharma Comunicaciones pudo organizar conferencia para Prabhu. Conferencia sobre la vida y obra del poeta francés Rene Daumal.

*Este 2015 se cumplieron 150 años de la publicación del libro “Alicia en el país de las maravillas”, un libro muy inspirador para todos los surrealistas. Homenaje en USA.

*Om Bhakti (Lalita Madhava das, Prabhu Juan Elgueda y amigos) dieron un concierto de música de India maravilloso a fines de octubre. Yo tuve la misericordia de poder ir y grabar el concierto. Fue uno de los  conciertos más hermosos a los que he ido en el último tiempo. Muy muy especial, mucha inspiración para escribir poesía.

ASA - Si, Abhirama es en comunicaciones con ellos y Krsna Sambandha acerca de visita Peru en Junio.

Acá está el link de la primera parte:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlPXENmZg3Q

* Krishna Sambandha dió un concierto en Casa Museo Pablo Neruda en Isla Negra. Muy muy buen concierto, personas muy interesadas y que cantaron  el Maha Mantra!!

*No tenemos mucha fuerza espiritual y pureza para salir a las calles y distribuir los libros de Srila Prabhupada, pero cada vez que podemos regalamos libros a personas del mundo de la cultura.

*En Santiago hay muchas actividades culturales y muchas son gratis. Cada vez que podemos vamos a alguna actividad.

En el último tiempo:

*Conferencia sobre psicoanálisis (Escuela de Freud): Profesor Dr August Ruhs, médico psiquiatra austriaco/alemán.

Organiza: Universidad Anfdrés Bello, lugar: Museo Benjam,ín Vicuña Mackenna. Público: 20 personas.

A él regalamos Bhagavad Gita tal como es, en inglés. Él conocía Bhagavad Gita, pero nunca lo había leído.

http://agenda.unab.cl/actividades/conferencia-psicoanalisis-con-el-prof-dr-august-ruhs/

*Nuestro amigo el poeta Hernán Ortega Parada (82 años) presentó un libro suyo en la Feria Internacional del Libro (Filsa 2015). Público 12 personas.

*Presentación libro “Viaje de Antón Páez a la ciudad de los Césares y otros textos” Ediciones Biblioteca Nacional de Chile.

 Lugar: Sala Ercilla de la Biblioteca Nacional. Público presente: 24 personas.

*Nuestro querido poeta Raúl Zurita dió una lectura de poesía en la Feria Internacional del Libro de Santiago para presentar su nuevo libro, una antología de 600 páginas.

Esta actividad de Raúl debe ser una de las maravillosas y emotivas lecturas de poesía que he presenciado en mi vida.

Al terminar la actividad, vi salir llorando a muchachas de pura emoción.

Público:  220 personas.

Por suerte nosotros pudimos grabar en video actividad completa de Raúl. Últimos 14 minutos muy místicos.

Wow. Esta carta es demasiado larga, pido disculpas!

La poesía es síntesis, pero me cuesta mucho resumir todo en mis  cartas.

Pensando mucho en regalo de navidad para usted y regalo de Vyasa Puja.

SI Krishna quiere nos vemos este 7 de enero.

*Próxima carta: reporte personal, reporte bipolar y sadhana bipolar

Con mis más humildes reverencias

Un loco más del mundo material

(ss Bhakta Rodrigo)

HpS - ASA -  No es muy larga en absoluto, ni tampoco en la intensidad de continido. Aparece su "burro" esta en su fase manico!   Ja!  Ja!  Jare!

O.K. Titulo de conferencia en la biblioteca nacional y todo otro. Estamos esperandos su cartas, pero no molesta su burro demasiado. Cuando quiere corre, corre, cuando quierre descansar, descanza lo.

Querido Gurudev: Pamho:. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

En estos momentos me encuentro en casa con Yadunandana Maharaja. Estamos pasando la Navidad juntos de manera informal y tranquila.

Un año mas nuestro informe es que seguimos manteniendo nuestro deseo de volvernos buenos devotos algún dia. Mientras tanto estamos en 16-4-3. No  estamos contentos con la calidad de la practica y esperamos mejorar poco a poco. La vida familiar con los niños es un gran sacrificio que lleva mucha dedicación. Estamos tratando de llevarlo todo adelante.

HpS - TlgaSP. Si, pero el resultado puede ser enorme, con la proxima Acharya con el resultado.

Espero que a usted le vaya bien con su servicio a Guru y Gouranga.

En cuanto a lo del viaje a España me gustaría confirmar algunas cosas. ¿A que hora llega su vuelo a Bruselas y en que aeropuerto? ¿A que hora parte de Bruselas para EEUU? Supongo que tendré que gestionar sus tikets de Bruselas -Madrid o Barcelona y viceversa. Cuando tenga toda la información empezaré a hacer las gestiones oportunas y hablare con Nimai Pandit para arreglar las fechas.

Sin mas y esperando se encuentre bien de salud se despide su sirviente

Jayanta das

HpS - ASA - POR FAVOR, entra en "POST ANNUAL DISCIPLE REPORT" y pone un duplicado de su reportaje encima, arriba, en esta carta alla. 

CALENDAR:  Jet Airways han cerrado sus viajes por Bussels y cambiado a Amsterdam. Entonces, llegamos a Amsterdam (AMS), 30 Mar, 8AM y salimos AMS to Newark, USA, (EWR), 12 Abril, 3.20PM.

Entonces, aparece el mejor es salir de AMS > MAD, como 11AM (<$150), pasar tiempo en Madrid, Madre Tierra, NVM, Barcelona, y salir de Barcelona a AMS (~$100).

Esta bien????    Claro, mas pronto podemos fijar los reservaciones, mas barrato.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡ PAMHO

--------------

Regarding this, a surpise: there is a little chance that Jayapataka Swami assit to the congress. Just a little bit chance. But tomorrow I will send the details about the congress tomorrow Gurudev. Is paradox that in my job Im writing nonsense all the time (maybe in this job not so much because a lot of things on enterpreneurship, innovation, happines and education) but and I don't gave myself time to write to you, the essentianl issue in my life.

Finally, Now Im confused about my service: I like the external preaching, make contacts but when I serve to the devotees, despite is more difficult, organize, etc is also good but i don't know if is useful, Maybe my field is the external preaching. Im confused.

Hare Krsna gurudev, 

Thank you

Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my obeisenses. All glories to  Patita Pavana Srila Prabhupada!!!. 

I have some news about your sankirtan in Bs As.  

Confirmed:

1. Its confirmed an Interview in a TV Program, in Canal de la Ciudad, the oficial channel of the Capital City.(date to be confirmed)

2. They asked what kind of questions you want to be asked.
ASA - It seems you have been traveling, organizing and participating in cultural and educational programs in South American for many years now. What has been the result of that?

Then we can explain the Symposium in Peru and the satellite events. We will send synopsis of our paper for the event soon. 

19/1/2015 It is confirmed a meeting with Dr. Klurfan (the director of the mental health institute you ve been) and his team, and also I invited Lic. Virginia Gawel and her team for this meeting, she is the Director of the Bs As transpersonal center,  here is a link to their web page:  http://www.centrotranspersonal.com.ar/que-es-el-ctba/el-staff/

ASA -  Maxi will be available for a phone call or questions during this meeting?

Waiting for confirmation:

1. Still waiting for confirmation of the Bs As Jung Foundation for giving a seminar in their center.

2. Waiting for confirmation  from AstroArquetipica for giving a seminar in their a center. If not, it is  posible you can meet with their team.

*Also last time in Skype I commented you about the posibility of having a Skype meeting with  Bert Hellinger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Hellinger and he is a german, and very occuped so he administrates a lot his time , he wants to know what are his interest in meeting with you.

HpS - I just read the web-page. Is very interesting. Unless he wants to investigate our theme of Science, Psyche and Spirituality - The Encounter of Carl Jung with the Classical Mysticism of India, then it seems we would not have a very intense meeting. You can give him a copy of the Teachings of Lord Caitanya, and explain the symposium in Peru. He can write for it.
Other than that ask him if he has any students with whom he feels we might talk.

*Do you want to give some special seminar for devotees in temple?

HpS - Pada-padma - Embracing the Lotus Feet of Krsna. Canto One and Two of Srimad Bhagavatam (like you never knew them before).   O.K? 

*Is it posible to do a NIOS meeting? , there is a devotee that is psychologyst that maybe can help a lot in your sankirtan in Bs As.

ASA - Of course!  NIOS/ASA meetings. Meetings with devotees.

Hope you health is fine Gurudeva,

your servant,

Madhavendra P. Das

HpS - Honestly I consider you and everyone in Argentina our teachers. Battle of Kuruksetra, Ki Jai!  We win the world or die and go to heaven.

You are co-ordinating with The Rati-manjari DD, no?

Of course, anybody can write here in the Blog with suggestions. Nikunja-bihari Das is running around with his pistols loaded too.

JAY SRI SRI GAURANGA NITYANANDA
JAY H.D.G. SRILA PRABHUPADA
JAY H.H. HANUMATPRESAKA SWAMI
JAY DEVOTEES

PLEASE ACCEPT MY MOST HUMBLE OBEISANCES TO YOUR LOTUS FEET.

HpS - ASA - Lobo's feet.  AGTSP!

Dear Gurudeva How is your health? I'm so worry about you say stomach cancer.

ASA - Seems more likely gastritis with future of ulcer if we don't slow down, move in.

10 of 16 rounds average, some days chanting 19 ... conciousness of my debt writing delayed like you told me, 4 principles ok. Reading daily SP books.

Keep fixing things of your visit w/Madhavendra P Das and Ambarisa M Das. Thanks to you, them and to all of you disciples to let me help. Guru Maharaja you want to make some particualar program during your visit, beyond of Jungs meeting, I asking something like "Education" like in your latest visit. I know you talk with Ambar and Madha if you answer it to them. Ignore my question.
HpS - Yes, there is letter from the M.puri. We answer it next.
I'm resolving some familiar issues. Is hard began to see my parents getting old. Hope be preparated for this phase.

HpS - Old age is good friend for a philosopher. Good chance for them to become philosophers. They can be very happy. Tell them that because their daughter is a very good girl and first class religious lady they will surely go to heaven and if they are a little industrious they can go hand in hand to meet sit with God and talk about things.

Have to finish to organize my India trip. I will give all of my effort to do everything in a good mood, Cakori is helping me, and so some devotees from Argentina giving me the appropiate guide.

- Ratha Yatra almost kill me, but I realize I have to improve my mood. Jagannatha bless me a lot.

- Kirtan programs keeps on, for pleased [pleasing] Srila Prabhupada. (attached photos) THEY HAVE OFFER CANDLES TO DAMODARA! :) Distribute some books. those are my news for now.

Thanks for encourage me always to improve. Make a few days I had celebrate 3 years from my initiation and I want to thank you. I know I am unable to pay my debt, but you just trust in me, that is why my compromise remains intact and each garland i make, each incense i offer and every service I make, I remember you and try to please. Please accept my humble obeisances at your holy feet. Grant me intelligence necessary not to lose my chance to BACK HOME, BACK TO GODHEAD.

Your daughter.

Rati-Manjari Devi Dasi.

HpS - Thank you for your association. I think many people find your association delightful, intoxicating. You live in a wonderful country, just have to extract the nectar from the poison!
All of your efforts seem nice.
Of course, FORGET EVERYTHING, even organizing our visit if that will help you get 16-nice rounds done daily. When you do that you will discover that EVERYTHING GOES well. What do you want?

1. Marry a pure devotee, incarnation of God?

2. Have God for a Son?

3. Become a Hare Krsna, Monja?  (Santa Rati of BsAs)?

4. Paint super pictures?

5. Have the world's biggest Barbi doll collection?

6. Organize fantastic dramas, movies, on the SB?

7. Become a living example of the Siksastaka and help 25-more devotees do the same?

8. All of the above?

9. Other.

Well, if you just chant 16-enthusiastic rounds a day and follow the 4-principles strictly you can have it all!!!!!
