Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

<cite>How are you all?</cite>

We are good. Sridham Mayapur is very merciful.

Thank you that you sent Caitanya Caritamrita Prabhu to meet me here, it was huge inspiration to meet him.

HpS - AGTSP! [Today] I just paused to call CCP and his good wife and they were on the way to the Houston Park. He says that your good wife is a good cook and taking good care of you. We discussed it and decided that maybe he was inspiring the same way Gajendra's luck might be inspiring. 

From Monday I am starting to work with TOVP (planetarium), to help them to create good database and Madana Priya is taking care about our garden.

<cite>Have you got a top-floor apartment or are people marching up and down on your roof chanting Japa.</cite>

Fortunatelly nobody is walking up and down on our roof, seems I am only one who chants on our roof. :)

<cite>Are you a 22nd degree Kung Fu master of Hare Krsna Ryu?</cite>

No, I couldn't manage energetically and emotionally with other duities, so sadly I decided to stop. But I have 3rd degree black belt in Run Fu :)

HpS - In USA we get "Yellow Belts".

<cite>You can see we are getting ready for South America.</cite>

<cite>Can you erase all the Reports from last year?</cite>

Done. (There are 2 from June and 1 from this month, which I didn't delete.)

But just realized it deleted also all comments which were just published [info in next paragraph]. <img alt="sad" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png" title="sad" width="23" />

<cite>Also, when we give our comments it says that the admnistrator has to approve them. You will do that? Do the comments go public or only to the Reporter?</cite>

<cite><img alt="*:) happy" src="https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo1.gif" title="*:) happy" /></cite>

I am sorry for that, when I was testing it I used super user who has automatically all permissions, but seems I didn't test it with your account who was till now missing permission to skip moderation queue for comments. It is fixed now and all unpublished comments are published (of course without me reading them).

If by some chance you see some problem with website, please let me know and I will try to fix it as soon as I can.

<cite>You can answer in the Blog! That way everyone sees the transactions.</cite>

Done.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha Das

HpS - The Comments can go just to the Reporting Disciple, not to everyone?

Our plan is to Monkey and Uncle Gismo's vote is to Drop the Ax on Christmas Day and anyone who hasn't Reported by then will be cast into the Outer Darkness where they must Wail and Gnash their Teeth Eternally.

Then we will gather the Good Disciples into our Fold and answer all the Reports before we shove off for Peru.

Send us news from Time-to-Time. Have Mataji describe Her garden and what it says. Sell herbs!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja
All Glories to Sri Sri Gauranga Nitiananda

My damodara vote was chant the holy name, each time i can, in my mind in japa in any occasion to generate the habit.
Guru Maharaja, I started to follow you instruction about reading, but some day I not do it, but will fix it soon. Sorry because of my impersonalism, I know you're giving me the medicine I effort a lot to be able to drink it.

The devotees are so mercyful and gave me the service to invite people to Chile Symp.
Gurudev your Vyasa Puja is soon and your disciples from here want to ask about. What you want to eat?

Gurudeva you're always present in my heart in my activities and I want to make my best effort to be a good part of Srila Prabhupada movment.  Thanks for your patience. And sorry for any mistake I can commit.
Gurudeva any word can express the gratefulness i feel because of your mercy. Please leave me live for ever in your eternal shelter.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada!

Your disciple who want to surrender to your holy lotus feet.
Rati-Manjari Devi Dasi.

HpS - AGTSP! Looks like nice schedule. We imaging Vaikuntha but realize we in hell. So, looks like wonderful Sankirtan in hell. We do our little part and then Krsna does the MAGIC!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva . Please accept our  obeisances to your lotus feet.  

HpS - ASA - AGTSP! Actually our feet are not much swollen at all. I think it is 90% being caused by sitting at a desk. This is not natural for us. We need a platform to sit and write and sleep. I guess we will try to change it as soon as possible.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you 

Its been a while since i havent write you . i guess i didnt know how to do it so i let time passes . but i dont want to do that anymore . 

im chanting all my rounds . trying to read more . thats helping me . and trying to coordinate your coming (actually rati manjari is the one doing all the hard work) . there is a big disconection bettween all of us. im trying my best but its no easy . still we keep trying. there are many things i want to speak to you . but im not able to do it here. maybe when you come here . i would love that Gurudeva . i hope your physichal health its ok . thank you for everything .Who want to serve  Sarad Bihari Dasi

HpS - AGTSP!   Thank you. It is simple, no? We will be disconnected with each other to the degree that we are disconnected with Krsna. So, we have to have more, better Japa, Kirtan, Sankirtan, books, Deity, Temple service etc. for Krsna!

He is very generous, no?

You must be experiencing that. All the efforts we try add up, forever. So keep on working!! Everything that you do that is hard, for Krsna, has permanent, broad effect.

Of course, we can discuss specific details when we are in BsAs, but we can't help 25-people with 3-hours of individual consultation each in one week. So lets start with general questions now.

Takes head work but once the principles are really clear then the details are more natural.

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP 

PAMHO ¡¡

 I hope this meets U in really good health ¡¡¡¡

Our Sadhana is ok fixed in mangala artik, 16 rounds daily, our reading MUST improve ¡¡¡ But the new BV semester will help a lot ¡¡¡ 

Our life has changed a lot, we are not in charge of pujari anymore but we have service as pujari in wilson, also we go to chosica once a month, but we guess that on December we will go all Saturdays due to on January we will go the ASA TOUR ¡¡¡ and will be absent for two months ¡¡¡

We continue helping Jagad Guru for the Latin American Congress in Education ¡¡¡ we like really like the meetings and the group we work with ¡¡¡

Being in a relationship is really nice we learn a lot from each other, specially to be tolerant, and symphatetic. For me is a new service. I try to do it with patience and dedication. We as ladies  protect them  and get strong by being chaste right Gurudeva?? What else can I do to help him???

 HpS - ASA - Well, AgtSP!     Paoho....  You are (almost) Bhakti-vaibhvin, no? So, what have you learned practically about Stri-dharma in your studies? Starting from Upadesamrta, NOD, BG, Isopanisad, SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM: Canto One, Canto Two ... Three...  Where are there good instructions how to execute your Dharma.
Everyone is waiting for your answer!
 

It is really nice try to do service together. On Govardhana puja we did service in pujari and the whole festival was really nice ¡¡¡ NBD has so many good qualities that is very easy and natural for us to serve him. But we have a lot of challenges to face also.  However we know that by putting Krsna in the center, worshiping the deitiy and being fixed on Sadhana everything will be all right. Please Gurudeva any further advice may U have???

ASA - Same as above to start with, no?

Tomorrow is Ratha Yatra ¡¡¡¡¡¡ uffffff many many devotees specially young devotees made a lot of effort to carry on with this festival ¡¡¡

We hope that Lord Jagannatha may be at least a little please with us ¡¡

JAYA JAGANNATHA ¡¡¡

We are attaching also one picture from Rama Vijaya we did the flower dress for Sita (the small one)

Thank u for your daily associaton ¡¡

Trying to be your disiciple [disciple] '0'

Candramukhi dd

HpS - ASA -  We add some Rathayatra photos. It is very special chance to go from Vaidhi-bhakti to Raganuaga Bakti to even Vraja-bhakti in the mood of Radharani. Pull Then back to Vraja.
CC Madhya 13.120-133. Then Lord Jagannatha is in Vrndavana for two weeks or more after the Rathayatra, so Wilson will be Vraja for two weeks. Prabhupada requested a festival every day during this time and then a return Rathayatra. You could take little Deities back. If we try to arrange all these festivals Laksmi Devi will help us.

Thank you so much.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

PAMHO

In our weekly meeting with brahminical comité to the Congress we have discussed the GENERAL MISSION and the KEY OBJETIVES.

We want to know your opinion and We want to know if you can add something that we have overlooked:

GENERAL MISSION of the CONGRESS

GATHER HISPANIC ISKCON DEVOTEES  OCCUPIED IN EDUCATION OR THOSE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING, COLLABORATE AND KNOW ABOUT IT.  

KEY OBJECTIVES

• Creating effective networks among educators in ISKCON.
• To inform and encourage audience participation in the educational activities of ISKCON.
• To publicize and share different current educational proposals of ISKCON or those that could serve the congregation of ISKCON.
• To present perspectives and definitions about the concept of education in ISKCON.
• To establish a communication system with the Ministry of  ISKCON Education through a representative or a  committee of representatives.
• To set date, place and objectives of the Second Latin American Congress of Education ISKCON.
• To identify strengths and challenges we face in the current  Hispanic ISKCON  education and elaborate  practical proposals for implementation.

On the other hand, after this review, we will begin to send a detailed document to our speakers, with these objetives and the mission et al, and we will specify there how long should be every conference. So, according your experience, what is better? To give different timings to different speakers according their relevance? We should to have an avarage  timetothe conferences? Which is the better average?

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Well, yes, you can certainly allocate time depending on which topics and presenters you think need more time. You can even have a round-table discussion at the end with several presenters so that the audience can have more time with the specific presenters as they require.
Thank you so much. Please send us the preliminary registration information as soon as possible! We want to come!

Thank your very much for your attention and time guru maharaj.

Your aspirant to eternal servant

Jagad Guru Das
