Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Hare Krishna querido Gurudeva, aqui estoy sirviendo a S.S. Bhakti Vasudeva Svami,y como siempre distribuyendo libros adorando al Señor y mas

El motivo de mi carta era para contarle que Lomasa Rishi y yo y 17 devotos nos vamos a Chile toda la maraton de Diciembre para colectar fondos para que algunos devotos puedan viajar a India. Y en El templo de Buenos Aires no van a quedar muchos devotos, nuestro servicio va a ser cocinar para los devotos. 

Le comento esto por que quisiera saber como son sus fechas por Argentina y por Chile.

Respected Guru Maharaj,

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

I went to twitter and listened the lecture on start meeting with Nitai Gaur prabhu, it was so nice.  I was going to ask you that you should also put this link in your Monkeywarrior home page and it is already there, Jaya. Guruji! kindly do this every time, that you also put the link on this website, since someone may not have the twitter acct and thus, they would be bereft of the opportunity to listen.

Guruji! have your chalked out your indian program, any rough sketch? In one of your news letter you mentioned that you would be going to Manipur, would you also be going to your usual places of pilgrimage like Naimisharanya and Lucknow etc. and Vrindavan/Mayapur or would you like to go to Punjab?

Here in Brisbane, everything is OK, my job is always up and down, but my chanting 16 rounds good quality, now-a-days I m reading Bhagvad Gita As It Is and sometimes, I go online and see the commentaries of different Acharayas on the same verse, it is really interesting.

Priya and children are excited to join you next year during your Indian journey, hope Krishna provides enough by that time.

Thanks and HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP...  paoho...  We hope you are making nice progress in all of the basic principles of Sadhana, no?       For example, if someone is attached to sports activities, like gambling, then he is lacking part of the foundation to his Bhakti-lata and it will grow, but slowly and even with distortion, so we all have to understand these priority items of Sadhana Bhakti: Sixteen enthusiastic rounds minimum, four-principles strictly, a full Brahma-muhurta, morning program . . .   Sankirtan!

Then from Vaidhi-bhakti we can progress to Raga-anuga Bhakti very naturally (BG 4.10 Purport!).

First is am I?      Guess we are a mostly a writer at this point in life.   Who is the Raktaka Das?

Second is who are we?      For India we have Dr. Samaresh, Rama-giri-dhari Das, Yamuna in Manipur, Indian disciples and friends (Eg. Vasu Gosh), other Yatris like yourself and the Gopinatha Pujari. . . .

Third we make some plan where to go when....

Who are you?!

          HARE KRSNA GURUDEVA,

          PAMHO,AGTSP!!

          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR E-MAILS.

          THIS IS CLAUDIO NARANJO´S E-MAIL, I SENT HIM YOU CV AND REQUEST

          AN INTERVIEW A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HE DID AGREE,

           HIS SECRETARY RECENTLY GAVE ME HIS PERSONAL E-MAIL ([email protected])

           AND ASKED ME  TO REFRESH HIS MIND AS HE VERY BUSY,

           SO WHOEVER WRITTES HIM HE CAN FOLLOW UP THE STORY...

           WISHING TO SERVE YOU

HpS - AGTSP.  You are so persistent in looking for service to Krsna, that I think it is guaranteed. He will give you all more and more exciting missions.  We have CN's address on our Desktop. We hope to see it while we are in Peru. We are in Mexico. We can ask people here if they know him also.

07/24/15    Hare Krsna Esteemed Guru Maharaja    please accept my dandavats and pranams.

Haven't written since your helpful and wonderful visit in June.  Thank you so very much for staying in our new home and blessing us with your presence, your example.   i do not write more often because i do not want to take your valuable time.   Please know i am always praying for you and taking the dust of your lotus feet within my heart.

The ISKON Sac devotees expressed how much they benefitted from your visit.  They thought you so very humble and approachable, with the ability to illuminate sastra in a clear and unique manner.  They have asked me to ask you to put us on your calendar twice next year.   So please visit us next year twice and advise me how I may help with scheduling in advance.

We were (Dave too) out on book distribution at lg. apt. complex in Sac a couple of weeks ago.   By Krsna's mercy, we were invited to return and do home program for a group of residents!  It is this Sun.  How wonderful it is to preach this sublime and helpful philosophy of Krsna Consciousness.  Also, our group attended International Yoga Day in June by the state capital bldg.  Fortunately, I got to lead kirtan though I am always unworthy.  Also, me and Vikasananda Krsna Das were interviewed by Indian Television news so it was really so much mercy to be able to serve Srila Praphupada and this Sankirtan Movement and let the Indian population know more about our ctr!  Our group will also be at India Day and we are hoping to have an even better Janmastami celebration this year.  So lots of opportunities for service right now.  Jaya!!!

My dear Radha-Gopinatha are now in Their puja room.  I don't think our home is ready for Them to be in the front of the house;there was not a consensus about it.  Perhaps it's what they wanted.  I hope so.

Shoes ?:   So, recently Govinda Priya Dasi, who teaches deity worship in Mayapur each year, showed me how to put Their Lordships to rest at night.  Their bed is on the right side of Their altar on a table along with a brass vyasasan.  The vyasasan is too small for the murti of Prabhupada.  So i am using it to put his shoes on at night.  Then I take your shoes and put them on the table at the foot of Prabhupada's "bed"   and pray for your safety that night.  Anyway, may I continue to put your shoes like that?  Some how it occured to me to ask you if that's ok with you.

Continuing as your unworthy servant,

Kalindi Devi dasi

HpS - ASA -  Gosh!  AGTSP.  Paoho.   Yes, this pace of letters we can handle. We have noted all your content with great attention. Krsna is giving you so, so, so much chance to preach!!  Our respects to The David Prestha (which rhymes with Pasta) and all the Sacramento ISKCON Yatra. Of course we will try to visit again. We form the Calendar here.

I guess you can put our shoes some place. Off the floor I don't know. For sure lower, lower, lower thatn Srila Prabhupada's paraphernalia. We still have material desires but they are under control (now) and diminishing!

O.K. DTC>

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Please, accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I hope you are in good health and that your proyects are going as expected.

HpS - ASA - So nice to hear from you. AGTSP. Please see the Kapi Dhvaja with answer to the above hopes.

We are very happy to have you for these weeks and more happy to serve you. Regarding this issue, we consult on your stay in Chosica. Prabhu Chaitanya Chandrodaya offers a space in his home. It is very comfortable and nice, but a bit further away from the temple. On the other hand, at Kanu Pandit Prabhu you can also stay, it is closer to the temple. Also, I live 80 feet away and that allows me to serve you in a better.You decide, please.

HpS - I think Kanu pandita's house is fine, no??

During the last week I was cooking for Bhakti Bhusana Swami Maharaj and was a wonderful experience to be close to Maharaja and able to talk with him and listen to his lectures and accompany him in his walks and other activities.Maharaja have much knowledge and is impeccable in his behavior. It has been a great lesson for me. I continue to study the Bhakti-Sastri, very impressed with the Bhagavad Gita. I read the text twice before studying it but this time I discover and understand some points that were missed before. The BG impresses me by its force. Possibly it lacks the philosophical depth of the SB but is like a handgun: short, precise, and is the Lord's spell. I don't leave my amazement. I have two questions for you, Gurumaharaja.

HpS - ASA --- It is interesting. Seems we have BG As It Is. This is different thatn BG. This is Srila Prabhpada's illumination which includes perspective from SB and even CC!

What is the difference between the pantheistic perception of Brahman and the omniscient perception of the Lord of a pure devotee?

HpS - ASA - As we know, Professor Alfred North Whitehead. Santana Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University said that there is no inevitability as long as there is a willingness to contemplate the present. We have remembered that when in great provblems. That is Sat and Cit, no? In Brahman we realize there is a reality. Then in Pantheism, Virat rupa, Paramatma we begin to see form of this eternal reality. For example we realize that our body, name, job are all Asat, Nir-brahman. They are not eternal, but Masculinity and Femenity are eternal. Siva Pravati, Laksmi Narayana, Radha Krsna are all eternal.

O.K?   A devotee see, "premanjan churita bhakti vilokayena..." he sees reality as the effulgence of Krsna. Presence of the King in the Kingdom. He sees the paramatama, hand of God, as Krsna's hand.

What is the difference between following the footsteps of a pure devotee and imitate him? Srila Prabhupada raises the importance of not confusing these concepts but sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference, at least in my level of progress.

HpS - Imitating Srila Prabhupada is trying to be the Acharya of our Sampradaya immediately. Sit on a big seat, receive big worship and gifts. Following in the footsteps is to follow the path that Srila Prabhupada took to get to the positon of Sampradaya Acharya. You act like he acted when he was in your level of existence. He set an example. Made a path.

Thank you in advance for your answers. See you soon Your servant

HpS - ASA --- Thank you.
