Letters to the editor

Hare Krisna esteemed and beloved gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Next sunday 21st we will celebrating your auspicious vyasa puja at El Loft.

Class is scheduled between 9:45 and 10:30 am Murfreesboro time.

Everybody here will much appreciate your darshan and wisdom.

So will it be possible for you to give at least a ten minutes class through skype that day at that moment?

I dont know wether you have that day the Nios Nashville program at Global Mall or proper internet connection.

See you for sure on tuesday 23rd,

Trying to reach your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari Das.

HpS - AGTSP paoho. We have to call India like 9.30AM our time, so we could be online from 10-10.30AM. Is O.K? You want to use Skype or StartMeeting.com?

Querido Gurumaharaja. Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Muchas gracias por Sus respuestas.

Hable con prabhu Vanamali sobre la trasmisión online del martes 23, queremos preguntarle a UD, si es posible que la conexión sea a las 7:00 PM ? por favor, para que todos los invitados que asisten a la clase del Bhagavad Gita puedan escucharlo. Unas palabras de Ud por 15 minutos son suficientes, para dar oportunidad a otros hermanos de otros lugares.

ASA - AGTSP paoho. Gracias a Vds. Pienso va a pasar muy bien. 7.00-7.15PM, Hora Mexico. 23rd Deciembre. En el calendario. En la proxima Kapi Dhvaja podemos afilar todo!

Luego nosotros continuamos con proyección de video y teatro de predica:"la historia de Valmiki" como una ofrenda para UD. También necesito saber si en el horario de conexión con el templo de Sri Sri Radha Madana Gopal se pueden conectar otros discípulos de Monterrey, Guadalajara, Uruapan y tal vez Jambavati ?. Cuantas conexiones via skype pueden haber como máximo desde México??

HpS - Por telefono, llamada a EEUU, puede 1,000 personas connectar. Solo audio. Por internet, con visual es 50 personas. Entonces 5 de Mexico no es codicioso, no???

Gracias!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!  All the devotees at the SAC Preaching Center are hoping you will visit us on at least one occasion during your next tour of No. CA in 2015.  Who establishes your schedule?  At what e-address or phone number do I reach him? or it may be Rejeswara Prabhu would contact him as he is responsible for scheduleing speakers.  Hopefully by then, Dave Prabhu and me will be located in larger dwelling, more condusive to sadhana and closer to Sac and you could possible stay with us and we could take your shelter and serve you.

Lila has fallen very ill.  I have literally been up with her once each hour each night for 3 weeks.  We are trying to find out what is wrong with her and if there is a remedy.

Wow!  Turkey. My old stomping grounds!  Will be most interesting to see what Krsna is arranging!

Question:  The devotees call me "Kalindi Mataji."  I would prefer to be called Kalindi Devi dasi, although I appreciate their affectionate "nickname."  Most of the female initiated devotees usually are called by their full, three or even four part, lengthy names whereas the uninitiated female devotees are called by their birth first name along with "Mataji."

They are mostly Indian, very sweet, very fond of me, very respectful to me, both matajis andprabhus.  I do not wish to offend them.  I have studied Kalindi Devi quite a bit in shastra.  I feel "Kalindi Mataji" is a personal term of endearment whereas "Kalindi Devi dasi" reminds me constantly of  who I really am and what is my true position.

But perhaps it is just my false ego.  Is it ok to ask them to address me as"Kalindi Devi dasi?"   I think "Kalindi Devi dasi"  is good, Viasnava etiquite? unless one is in a hurry to get my attention, in which case "Kalindi Mataji" is understandable on occasion.  Please give me your opinion and I will follow it,

All glories to Mighty Srila Prabhupada!  All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!  pamho

YWS,  Kalindi Devi dasi

HpS - AGTSP. Esteemed Kalindi Devi Dasi, Prabhu,
Thank you for your letter. You are kind of like St. Francis and the wolf. Taking care of an UNUSUAL spirit soul in a dog body. Usually dog has to become human then go back to Goloka, but maybe Lila is going to get a "Booster Rocket".
Our Calendar is just fixed here in the Blog. Really no where else. Now we are just looking at:

January-Feb 11 - South America.

Feb 11-March 5th - Nashville, Houston, (?) Chicago.

Then based in Nashville and MAYBE Peru again in July and Houston, West Coast - End of July through Janmastami.

Janmastami, August and then back to Nashville and Fall Winter in Europe, India, (?) Australia.

So, no details for Sacto etc now.

3). We could not find it, but in Hamlet the Danish King receives the Norweigian minister and asks him, "How fares our Cousin, Norway?". So, the King is called by the name of the country and the Minister is ofter called by the name of the King.
If someone calls you Kalindi Mataji, you can take it as, "Tall Mataji", or "Intelligent Mataji". "Kalindi" is this sense is an adjective. What kind of Mataji are you? You are a Kalindi Mataji.

You are a Mataji in terms of Kalindi, who is your Mistress.

Do sincere service to you and She will certainly reveal Herself to you. She is the liquid form of Visaka Devi, no?
Best of luck in your service!

Querido Guru Maharaja,

Por favor acepte nuestras reverencias

¡Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Deseamos se encuentre en buena salud,  los devotos de México mandir estamos preparándonos para celebrar su trascendental Vyasa Puja.

Hemos leído la carta de Prabhu Raktak en la que usted  menciona que celebrará su Vyasa Puja el 23 de Diciembre y que existe la posibilidad  de realizar una conexión vía internet, si a usted le parece bien,  nos gustaría preguntarle si es posible enlazarnos de entre  1:30 pm a  3:30 pm (tiempo de Tennessee)  Esperando que este horario pueda  ser accesible para el resto de nuestros hermanos, quedamos atentos.

Sus sirvientes

ASA México

HpS - ASA -- Eso es Martes, media dia. Es bueno o es mejor por la tarde, como despues de 6.30PM? Tenemos conneccion debil antes de esta hora, 6.30PM, pero funciona (65% por internet, 99.99% por telefono).

Respected Guru Maharaj,

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

Here in Australia-Brisbane, Iskcon GBC Vaishnava calender shows that your vyas-pooja is on 23rd Dec.  jiva Goswami's Tirobhav mahotsav is on 24th, so your vyas-pooja should be on 25th Dec, as I remember listening from you that your divine birth day comes next day after Jiva Goswami's Tirobhav, Am I right, if yes then how to correct in GBC Calender, and if I am wrong, kindly advise me to celebrate it for Australia on 23rd, a lot of thanks in advance, HARE KRISHNA.

Here's the link:

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AgtSP.  Paoho.      Remember, this is our offering to Vyasa Deva.    That's how we see Hanumatpresaka Swami's VP. We then are quite greedy about doing it.

It normally is the day BEFORE Jiva-goswami's Disappearance. In Australia and other places it seems to be that way, but in Tennessee that day disappears so it is the same day, 24th. Since it is 23rd many places let's do it that day.

HpSwami will be celebrating Vyasa-puja on the 23rd of December.

He likes to offer Kitri of Split-pease, Oatmeal with little salt and ghee and celery/carrots to Lord Nrsmhadeva. Cookies etc. may be sent for offering to 2129 Stratford Road; Franklin, TN 37129; USA, but in moderate quantities.

We can be available on-line to join you. What time will you have the program in Australia? What time will that be here!

Hare Krsna dear <img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" /> Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

In last KD you wrote: "All the letters are answered on the Blog except for one two days ago. Very interesting. No new letters. Some technical problem? New letters aren’t coming? Candra-mukhi DD – Nikunja-bihari Das, Patraka, Namacharya Das???"

So, now I am checking out if all works nicely on the Blog. It looks it works. It is quiet on the blog with letters coming. Hmmm... Maybe it is the lull before the storm <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

My Annual Disciple Reports coming in next days.

Also, you wrote: "We will be in Murfreesboro for HpS Vyasapuja. We will make some Internet plan. Any suggestions?"  

Well, I am little apprehensive about programs over internet. So many technical details need to work properly to have a situation with proper audio and video, one that can be heard and seen.
So, whatever will be there, I'll try to join in <img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" /> <img alt="yes" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/thumbs_up.png" title="yes" width="23" />

Thank you very much for your notes for BhVai. As your notes comes on time, Upendra and me can build our humble suggestions around your precious contribution.

Your servant Namacarya das

HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP  paoho.  Yes, is working.     It is amazing how Srila Prabhupada, devotees can pick up the current technology and use it. Srila Bhaktsiddhanta had a wrist watch. Otherwise, I guess people would just tell time from the Temple bell.

Prabhupada used airplanes and movies.

Soooo o o o    we see what we can do for Vyasapuja. 24th December here in Nashville.

What is happening in Pulah?  (You know, in Spanish, Pulga is Flea).
