Letters to the editor

Dear Gurumaharaja.

Hare Krsna AGTSP, PAMHO

Dear Gurumaharaja!

Sadhana is very strong in the Chicago temple, 15 bcaris, a lot of preach increasing in spring and summer times.  I’m the new halwai of kishor kishori, making diferent sweets for them. A lot of services in the temple and a lot of preaching. It is so difficult to be balanced, the days turn very short. I opened a bhakti club in Truman Collage where I’m studying and I’m taking care of one bhakti club in Loyola University, the students are very enthusiastic. I’m preaching profusely in order to expand Latin preaching through harinama, book distribution, advertisement. Rick Warren’s book about how to lead a church is very helpful to me now a days.

I started 2 Canto Bhakti Vaibhava, and giving complete sections in SB classes about 6 canto in the temple. It’s hard to digest all that knowlege.

   HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho.  Who is leading the Bh. Vai. programs?

The only reason why I’m doing this is because I have this sense of gratitude with You, Srila Prabhupada and Iskcon, other wise, I can not handle with this. However is very extatic also, and everyday i'm traying to increase my conection with the dieties and japa.

The temple president of Chicago temple wants to invite You. So he ask me about your email, but i dont know which e mail  I can give to him to be in touch with you.

I'm thinking that we can organize in northwestern or loyola university a program or even the community here the never hear about Ligth Of Bhagavata or how to present the book. Or a festival with the latin community which is big in Chicago. That's all for now Gurudeva

I hope you recive this letter good of health.

  HpS - Yes, Sadhana bhakta means to understand what are the priorities. It is a great art.  You can see our calendar on the Kapi-dhvaja. Maybe we can come to Chicago, but now we are just getting our foundation set here in Tennessee. Without that we cannot develop anything very substantial, always running the car in first gear.

Let us see how things go after a few more weeks. Already there is so much improvement. Regular diet. Regular writing. Regular eye strain. (Ha! Ha!).

Priorities, how soon will we have to leave this body....       

Hare Krishna!

Through youtube I got introduced to the preachings of HH Hanumat Presaka Swami and have been deeply inspired.

I also found a treasure of his preachings on http://bhati.org/lotusfeet/ and I will consider myself very fortunate if can meet him.

So, if I can be guided to the annual itinerary for HH Hanumat Presaka Swami then I can make my plans accordingly.

Waiting in anticipation!

Bangalore, India.

              HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. Esteemed Subrat Ji. Our general schedule is in the Calendar Section of the Kapi Dhvaja, News at www.JayaRama.US.

We will be in USA until March and then go to South America for a few months then back to USA and to India in the Fall, Kartik of 2015 with a stop in Europe.

2016-17 we will be doing writing and based in USA with maybe trip to India for specific convention etc.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupad and Gurudev.

It's been a while that I wrote anything on the blog and few changes have occured in my professional and personal life.  My personal life is going well with "Nitai Chaitanya Chadra" 's krupa. I'm regularly attending Bhakti Yoga club in VCU (weekly once) and discussing on different topics with students (from BG and Nector of Instructions). So far so good, at least 6 to 10 students became regular and we are doing Japa (small one 27 beeds) and Kirtan, a 15 to 20 minutes class and prasadam.

And also we started (past 8 weeks) a "conference call" (weekly once an hour) with devotees from different placess (join on the phone) and have a clsss primarly on BG, but we also discuss on Nector of Instruction and during festival times "Krishna Katha".

With all the above (including our regular Bhakti Vriksh) my reading became regular and I started reading BG and SB and my chanting became more focused (became my source of energy, especially when I'm puzzled).

Maharaj, Is there a posibility to consider a trip to Richmond, VA in your schedule? we are all (including our ISKCON of Richmond) sincerly requesting and we all feel blessed if you consider.

Please pardon my ignorance Maharaj, have question. In BG 9.4 Krishna says, "everything is in me, but I'm not not in them" and in Bg15.15 "I'm in everyone's heart". How do we understand these two statements Maharaj.

Always your humble servant

Subala Sakha Das

HpS - AGTSP paoho. Such nice spread of Bhagavata culture all over the world. Then greed for selfish pleasures decreases and the Earth becomes happy. 15.15 means the Paramatma, no? So Krsna is not exactly present as Gopal but as the Paramatma. It is like the person controling the front door over a security camera, but we can also consider what happens in the heart of a devotee. Like the Prince and Princess going into the prison.

We are just settling down after four months of travel. It was almost lethal, so we have to see how our body recovers. you can see the current ideas in the calendar link in the Kapi Dhvaja. We were thinking of going to Washington D. C.  How far is that from Richmond???

Thank yoiu for your association and all the work. We hope the kids are also seeing life from a high perspective!

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

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

Thank you for your clarification on my last letter. I got it!!

I know you are very busy and I can wait for your reply when you have time. We want to let you know that we are moving from Toronto to Calgary on April 1st. The main reason being that we want to pay off our student loans and will have an easier time doing so whilst living with my parents. Also Yogendra will be going to school in the fall to study education. If you do plan on attending Toronto Ratha Yatra we will visit during your visit and try to serve you and get your association :) 

Our daughter is three months old now and still growing. She is very sweet and everytime I show her our home deities she looks at Lord Nityananda!! I think she recognises him.

                HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. We are finally settling in one place. Thank you all for the news. Who is your baby? Is she Jahnavi Devi??

My rounds are improving but I have so many to catch up on. The four principles are intact. 

I hope I will be able to see you this year. Below is a photo from earlier this month of Audharya and husband.

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali devi dasi

            HpS - AGTSP. We hope the money gets settled easily with an opportunity to preach along with it. Education is a super diploma. Look for good teachers!!!

Very nice photo. Ooof, such a little body. I guess Momma Wolf is ready to rip anybody to pieces who tries to mess with her. <img alt="devil" height="24" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="24" /> So easy to be a devotee. So natural!

It looks like we will be in D.C. for Rama vijay, like the 8th October and maybe Vancouver like Janmastami or Rathayatra.

AGTSP

paoho   Oink Oink!   Whoop!  Whoop. We are all going to dye. (Take Sannyasa, become civil widows, wear pink, white).

How are you? We are about to die.

It is 7.27PM. Today there were furious snow flurries and then beaming sunshine and then.... It was really impressive, scarey, everybody was freaked!

The ASA Office was freezing except for our little cave. We have to keep the water running a little bit or the pipes freeze and burst.

We are getting more done. After three months (many years) of traveling we are finally settling down to one place until end of July. Then we are thinking 6-weeks on the road to Houston and the Pacific Northwest. Guess September to March again based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Then a March +++ tour to Peru etc.

Hmmm.  Europe and India August+++ 2015. Australia?

We only plan to go where our ideas are being appreciated as valuable. If we can't produce valuable ideas then why do we have a human body? Better to be donkeys in Vraja.

###

We have intense aching in both sides of our waist. It is like a low pitch strong music. All the pain, and pleasure in the body is just music of different kinds.

Can you live with any kind of music? Can your Bhajan establish supremacy, avoid, use any other music?

That's the art.

We didnt go walking with NGDP today, too cold, so we spent hours catching up on mail.

We also did 2-hours preparing our PPT for Friday.

The Spanich BhVai program with Jagat, LAD, Yugala will be Saturday mornings at 6AM from now on. Join us.

Our Number One Writing Project, 7x9 TPP notebook, is helping  us to develop a Writing Strategy. That TPP Notebook is first. The first one is 90% done. All we need to do now is to review and annotate the entrys. We've started on the second one.

Then, this BhVai looks like Sticks and Stones. Stuff Hanuman picked up to fight with Ravana's soldiers in the Asoka van.

NOI Afterwords is first, thoughts produced by carrying and contemplating Rama's ring.

PdP is the conversations that Hanuman had with Sita about Rama.

LOB/Sankhya is part of the Search for Sita.

Jaya!

O.K!!!!   Arati, kirtan for Radha Natabara.
Thank you so much for your mercy.

M/P - HpS et al..
