Letters to the editor

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thanks for the DTC's and blog answers those are very inspiring.
Your respond to Srinivasa Prabhu was very useful to me too, thank you.
We are still in very bad financial situation, we have to learn so many things from it, but i'm sure Radharani knows best :)
Inspite of it by Lord Nrsimhadeva's mercy we could buy extremely cheap ticket to Barcelona so we will be there between 22-25 May.
I hope your schedule didn't change and we can meet You there.
We can't wait to see You, Maharaja. So many things happened with us but i don't want to bother You always, i hope we can talk in person in Barcelona.

Thanks for your kindness.
Your insignificant servant,
Sri Radhe devi dasi

                HpS - ASA ----  AGTSP!!   Paoho..  No, is same schedule.  Talking to Nimai y Gundica in Barcelona?   Got accomodations...  Is little preaching center.  Very nice.

     Todas Las Glorias Sean a Srila Prabhupada!!!

     Todas Las Glorias sean a Sri Sri Guru y Gouranga!!!

   Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes Reverencias. Hablé con Prabhu Amara y Prabhu Om Kesavaya y después de ver su calendario, quería preguntarle si el sábado 23 de marzo está bien para Usted? y a qué hora?. Prabhu Amara me decía que sería por Skype y estaría presente mi esposo y Prabhu Om Kesavaya. Muchas Gracias.

      ASA - Jaya!   Ya es 23rd.  5.48AM aqui.    Primero acceso a internet!  Si es bueno pero posible la proxima Sabado, no?  Podemos planificar mejor!

   Su sirvienta,

   Dhanistha devi dasi. Santiago, Chile.

HpSwami - AGTSP       paoho.     Thank you Prabhu.  We will post your complete letter on our Blog; www.hps.monkeywarrior.com , which is open to all and has several readers.
Since we have this name, Hanumatpresaka Das, we have always been focusing on participating in the Lord's efforts to rescue Sita from Ravana! In this regards we are very ready to help any efforts that you are developing.  This is a "secret" address for these types of correspondences.  Thank you.
Giriraja Maharaja, Ki Jai!

Dear Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 
I am writing to inform you about the annual Vaisnavi Retreat program I am organizing for female devotees, particularly for those who are actively serving in temples, or engaged in preaching. This year’s event will be from March 30 to April 3, 2013.
 
Our first retreat was held in March 2011 and the second in February 2012. Both went very well, in fact beyond our expectations. We had about 90 devotees taking part, including about 10 disciples of Srila Prabhupada each year.
 
The idea for these Vaisnavi Retreats came about during discussions on caring for devotees. We are hoping that these retreats can serve as a forum for vaisnavis to take shelter in each other for spiritual progress. Our desire is to cater to the need for association of devotee women engaged in Mahaprabhu's preaching mission under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada and generate peer support in various fields of devotional service.
 
We have chosen "Celebrating Srila Prabhupada's Mercy" as the theme of the retreats. The venue is a peaceful guesthouse in Jatipura, overlooking Sri Giriraja Govardhana. The program includes seminars on various topics, practical workshops, hearing from Srila Prabhupada's disciples about their experiences in Krsna consciousness, lots of kirtanas, a drama, dance by proficient ISKCON artists, interactive exchanges, and a small marketplace where devotees may sell their devotional creations or display their projects for each other's inspiration.
 
If you think that some of your disciples, friends or contacts could benefit from such program, please send us their address or have them contact Mitra DD at [email protected] or [email protected].
 
For more information you may log on to vihe.org and check our retreats section.
 
Hoping this meets you well,
 
Your servant,
Prasanta Dasi.
Director, Vrindavana Institute for Higher Education
 
PS: Please find attached the program of the retreat.

Dear Hanumat Presaka Maharaja!

Please accept my our humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga!

My name is Tirtharaja Dasa, and I serve as an (almost) a temple president of (nearly finished) ISKCON Valencia (Spain) temple. We are in the midst of construction works of the new temple and our inauguration date, by Krishna's mercy, is set to 31 of March. I am writing for two reasons, one is a recommendation letter for bhaktin Mirabai, and another one is to invite you to visit us in May, during your visit to Spain.

Yadunandana Swami asked me to do the recommendation letter and necesary formalities (the exam and so on), since Mirabai lives in Valencia. Maharaja is very much in favour of Mirabai taking the vows and your shelter through a Harinama initiation. I´m happy to recommend Mirabai Platón for Harinama initiation. As far as I know she has been chanting a minimum of 16 rounds of japa every day strictly for at least one year and following the regulative principles for more (much more) than one year. Moreover, she has successfully completed the official ISKCON initiation exam, proving sufficient philosophical knowledge. As an ISKCON devotee living outside of the temple, she has been doing regular morning programs and puja at home for many years and is active member of our community.

We would like to invite you to come and visit us during your May visit to Spain. Valencia is hour and a half by train from Madrid (AVE) and some 3 and a half hours from Barcelona by train too. If traveling by car, the distance is pretty much the same, 3 and a half to 4 hours from both cities. 

Your servant,

Tirtharaja Dasa

      HpS -  Jaya!  AGTSP  paoho.   Thank you so much.  Can you send us Mataji's full name and date of birth at [email protected] ?   Also her e-mail address?    She is on the Japa forum many days each morning.      We would like to visit Valencia.   Our visit this time is being organized by Jayanta Das.  You can talk with him and he would have the best idea of what is practical!!   BEST OF WISHES for your Temple inauguration and more and more and more success!!!

Dear Respected Maharaja,

PAMHO. AGTSP. It has been many years since we've had the great fortune of hosting you in Colorado. Any chance you could make a visit sometime in 2013? We don't get a lot of visiting sadhus here, so the devotees really appreciate anyone who comes through.

Your servant, Jayasacisuta dasa
