Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA  -  AGTSP! Paoho.  I think we have potatoe - apple feet but we are pushing to have lotus feet so we can help your Master in His games.

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, you had asked about my parents in our previous communication.
    You had asked, like "Do they live in the same town as you? Do you visit them often?
    Do they have a bona-fide guru?"
   
    No, we are not living in the same town. My parents are not living with me in Pune.
    They are living in Raipur (Capital of Chhattisgarh) with my younger bother.
    I live with my 3rd brother in Pune.

    I am able to meet with my parents, once in a year for 8-10 days. But we talk almost
    every day. i am elder son of my family so have many responsibility for them.
    Yes, off-course for Krsna also. Guru, Radha-Krsna on Top priority, always.

    No, they don't have a bona-fide guru. But my mother is a devotee for many years.
    She chant 20-25 rounds every day.

    Thank you so much for BG Guide.

    Gurudev, once again, .....about 2nd Initiation.
    To get the Bh.Sastri certificate is difficult for me, because there is no Bhakti-Sastri course
    in Pune, now a days. So we will talk to my both the Shika Gurus about Bh.Sastri and
    approval letter by President.

    I need to talk with Pune Shiksa Guru. Most probably, will talk on this weekend.
    Then will discuss the same with Vrandavana Shiksa Guru, then will update you

    Gurudev, Probably next year, you would like to visit ISKCON Pune. if possible, please share
    any proximate date and days....will arrange accordingly and schedule lectures accordingly.

HpS - If you are asking it would be difficult not to come. Also Baroda.

    Gurudev, i have also written a mail to you, today, to seek your advise.So marked this letter
    as urgent.

HpS - Yes, I anwered that it seems like friendly topic so please send it here also, no? Then five more people can benefit from our talks. I was trying to answer 400-500 letters a month before we started this Blog. Now it is down to a manageable level and many, many people tell me they read the posts. Sri Krsna Katha, Ki Jai.

    Thank you, Guru Dev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - ASA - Thank you. Very nice to hear about your family. Third brother is devotee? Father still works?

Hare. krisna gurudeva, 

please accept my humble obeisances,

all glories to srila prabhupada,

This weekend we have our monthly meeting of the directive board of mar del plata yatra.

 i would like to propose our participation in the  25-27 th july symposium of education.

i have srimati subhra dd phone number, but do you have an email adress or skype or another contact info?

i will try to call her but dont know if it is going to be easy to communicate via phone call.

thank you.

healing, little by little,

at your lotus feet.

nikunja bihari das.

HpS - ASA - Ooof! AGTSP paoho. Best thing is to call her and then ge them from her. I don't have them at hand!

Thank you. If simple telefone connection wont work then probably will be to dificult to maintain the on-line participation in the Symposium!

Hope your healing speeds up!!!

Dear Swamiji,

AGTSP, PAMHO. I am trying to organize a visit to Vrndavana for Kartika. Will you be there this year? Would it be possible to talk with you?

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. What is your phone number? We will be in USA for Kartika I think.

... arrived!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH <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" />

Your servant Namacarya das

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP paoho.  O.K. Lets start a Reading Group with anyone else who has a copy of the book with the next Kapi Dhvaja.

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Hope you are in good health & writing a nice book for us.

    After a long time, am writing to you. While we check the blog, every day.

    First, want to share about KG:
    1. Wake-up between 3:00 - 3:15 AM
    2. Chanting 17 rounds
    3. Lecture and Study - BG
    4. Lecture - SB
    5. Puja
    6. Cooking
    7. Offering
    8. Office
    9. Study - BG

    We have changed our schedule a bit. More focused on BG Study. Has set target date to complete by December 31, 2014.
    Then, will start SB.

    Schedule has been changed as per instruciton of Shiksa Guru (H G Gopendra Prabhu, Vrndavana). And the same has been informed to local Shiksa Guru (H G Balram Hari Prabhu, Pune).

    Office work as usual.

    Gurudev, Do you have any schedule for India for "Kartik" in Vrndavan?

             HpS - We are so so happy to hear from you. We saw your letters and wanted to read them sooner but they were not marked 'Urgent' so we are just coming to them in order of receiving them. It is so nice to hear from you.

Are you using some Study Guide for the BG study???
We go where Krsna takes us but now looks like we will get to India like October 2015. It is a long way to travel and our Donkey is rather old.

    Gurudev, Please advise on 2nd Initiation. If you permit, would like to go for 2nd initiation.

    HpS - ASA -- Your Sadhana seems like a Brahmana. Your association seems the same. I think you just have to get the Bh.Sastri certificate and then of course approval by President. We would like to visit Pune. In three days is the Kapi Dhvaja. We will try to write more about our "Book Writing".

    Gurudev, Question : How you chant in your mind, how you meditate on Prasadam!!

     HpS - We remember that Prabhupada says that in Kali yuga best is Maha-mantra with lips and voice and three Gayatri sandyas silently.

Prasadam we meditate on many ways but one of the best, most fun is meditating on what we will offer to Lord Nrsmhadeva. We want a nutritious diet for Him. O.K. You??

    Thank you, Guru Dev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

                 HpS - What kind of preaching are you able to do at work?

Dear Swamiji,

PAMHO. AGTSP.  I don’t know if you remember me, this is Bhakta Ken from Bezerkeley. After years of exile I’ve surfaced in Bali, Indonesia. I’m trying to get the nectar of the association of the devotees here. I would like to invite you to visit us here and give us the mercy.

your servant,

Bhakta Ken

 HpS - Jaya! AGTSP.  I don't remember you specifically. Any pastimes we shared? What years were you there? Who else was there? Bali, Bali, Bali.... if God wants we will be there in a flash. Other wise it would not be in the near future!!! But hearing from you about the Sankirtana there is wonderful.
