Letters to the editor

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!

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.

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).

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva ¡¡

AGTSP ¡¡ PAMHO 

Gurudeva we have good and fluent communication with LAD, Patraka and B German. We made a preliminary poster regarding your visit.

TOday I received 2 calls one from LAD one from Patraka and I am confused now. I wrote  to Jiva shakti in order to confirm the dates for classes in wilson and still no response, LAD wants to make a poster but umm it is better to wait until Jivashakti answers, anyway I think that it is better if your preliminary itinerary is here so everybody can read it

So please may U confirm me the itinerary that is bellow. I will inform the rest of disciples and devotees in general ¡¡

Also I left u some numbers in your skype that maybe u will need, LAD, abhiram, Patrak, etc..

When U arrive U will stay in wilson or patraka's ¡¡??? The only thing that is already arranged is that Palika dd will pick you up, and she will lend you USB with internet ¡¡

Trying to be useful

CMDD

HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. We are also trying to be useful. Notice the change in flight time to Bolivia, so we can't do an evening program in Wilson on the 1st. We are trying to get a hold of Abhirama Das to get him to make any confirmation that he can for 5th & 6th of January. Then we can make a poster, no?

Todas las glorias a Sri sri Caitanya y Nityananda
Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada 
Todas las Glorias a Hanumatpresaka swami
(Maybe 3%)

Accept my humble obeisances  Gurudeva

This last friday i was in the U.S consulate in Monterrey Mexico applying for mi Religious visa. Showing myself with devotional clothes, and was an instant preach. The woman in the interview just did two questions. What you gonna do there? And are you single?. I don't show any paper just my passport, and she approved the visa! :D.

HpS - ASA - Jaya! Super'carini!!

Definitely Krishna have a plan, i don't know what it exactly is, but trying to follow your instructions I'm sure this is the right path. I want to thank you for your support with all this and i hope to do good service in Goswami Academy.

Also i want to thank to Saranga Thakur prabhu, Subra mataji, Syamasundar prabhu, deepti (lawer) and all the devotees involved.

Im chanting this last weeks my japa, but with many offenses. I pray to Krishna for less material desires, and at the same time i feel like a lier to ask for that. Forgive me Gurudeva.

HpS - Why are they "material". If you want a nice husband, nice car, nice house, nice partys, nice friends, nice babies, then.... you are in the right place. Of course, maybe you have other material desires. I kind of want my teeth to stop aching. Hole in my face where the Tommy the Tooth came out five days ago it singing a little!
You can get Vasudeva type person for a husband and then get Krsna for your baby. (Ooops one little family problem!)

Im taking time with family, and visiting old friends. My parents really like worship my Nrsihmha deva deity. (So do we!)
I come back to Houston by December first.

(Please call us after you get settled with the CCD/SDD)
 

Reading Upadesambrta and Human devolution ( M. Cremo), taking my old books from home :)

Gurudeva. Are you gonna be in Tennessee for you vyasa puja? Because some devotees in Mexico want to be with you in that special day 

Forgive my offenses
I hope your been well of health

HpS - Poor Govinda, has such a bewildering Girl Friend! And you are serving, Her!
We'll be in Tennessee, but no place to stay here. Snow and polar bears chasing rabbits, but I think we will be on line and of course send all the cookies and crackers you want. We will offer them to Vyasa-deva.
