Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Thank you for engaging me in devotional service.

HpS/ASA - AGTSP! Agt his ISKCON!

With the encouragement of my dear wife, Dhanesvari Devi Dasi, I’m hoping to come to the symposium by myself.

Tentative days are Nov 27th to Dec 1st. Please confirm if the dates are good or should I book few extra days. 

ASA - Sumanta Rudra will be here from 27th November to 30th December.

29th is Odana Sasthi and Vyasa puja B. S. Damodara Swami and Sannyasa anniversary HpSwami.

Right now it is Sadhu sanga and Vraja krpa.

Do you have any things you would like to discuss, learn, communicate?

In considering the assignment you have given, my first thoughts are—a vaisnava university auxiliary here in Sri Dhama Mayapur—spearheaded by NIOS and BRC, incorporating some other possible affiliates . People living in Mayapur, or from an online remote situation, could obtain degrees and diplomas in literature, language and theology, to begin with, and then much more. Being a foreign resident of India myself, I would like to see simple access to said degrees for non-citizens of India. This would be a strong focus of mine and will ultimately increase the Sri Krsna Sankirtan outside of India. 

Am I understanding the assignment well, Maharaja?

HpS - Super! Seems Teacher Training and Educational Administrator Training would also be super diplomas.

Your servant

Muchas gracias por su respuesta. Primeramente informarle que ha sido una gran sorpresa conocer su intención de visitar CDMX en Ramanavami. Porsupuesto parece un gran esfuerzo de su parte que trataremos de reciprocar con los arreglos necesarios.

Actualmente prabhu Vanamali es una de las principales autoridades del templo, hablamos un poco sobre está noticia y expresa gratitud a nombre de la comunidad, le da la bienvenida y se pone a disposición.

Por otro lado la noticia favorece a los devotos que por situaciones laborales podían ir únicamente un par de días a Monterrey.

Surge la propuesta si podría llegar 4 o 5 días antes de Ramanavami?

Primeramente para que Usted pueda viajar con más comodidad de tiempo y consecuentemente más devotos sean beneficiados.

He discutido las posibilidades con los anfitriones de la Finca y expresan que la desicion que UD considere está muy bien. Por el momento no hay visitantes inscritos para el campamento, por lo que estamos a tiempo de hacer los arreglos pertinentes.

Envío las fechas de los festivales y propuesta de iniciaciones.

Marzo 2023

Lunes 6

Festival de Gourpurnima e inauguración de la Finca.

*Se hizo el cambio de fecha de la inauguración considerando la visita a Ciudad de México.

Miércoles 15

Iniciaciones en la Finca.

Viernes 30

Celebración de Ramanavami en Ciudad de México.

Trabajaremos en el desarrollo de los programas de predica.

Muchas gracias Gurumaharaja, un minuto de asociación con un devoto puro nos puede liberar del peligro más grande, perdón por ser ambiciosos. Cada una de las desiciones del vaisnava absorto en la predica bendice al universo, muchas gracias por derramar auspiciosidad en nuestras vidas.

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you very much for your reply. First of all, to inform you that it has been a great surprise to learn of your intention to visit CDMX in Ramanavami. Of course it seems like a lot of effort on your part which we will try to reciprocate with the necessary arrangements.

Currently prabhu Vanamali is one of the main authorities of the temple, we talk a little about this news and he expresses gratitude on behalf of the community, welcomes him and makes himself available.

On the other hand, the news favors the devotees who, due to work situations, could only go to Monterrey for a couple of days.

The proposal arises if it could arrive 4 or 5 days before Ramanavami?

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP! Paoho. I don´t know when we should go to Mexico City. Five nights total before fly back to Houston?

Firstly, so that you can travel with more time comfort and consequently more devotees are benefited.

I have discussed the possibilities with the hosts of the Finca and they express that the decision that you consider is very good. At the moment there are no visitors registered for the camp, so we are in time to make the necessary arrangements.

I send the dates of the festivals and proposal of initiations.

March 2023

Monday 6

Gourpurnima Festival and inauguration of the Estate.

*The date of the inauguration was changed considering the visit to Mexico City.

Wednesday 15

Initiations on the farm.

Friday 30

Ramanavami celebration in Mexico City.

We will work on the development of preaching programs.

Thank you very much Gurumaharaja, one minute of association with a pure devotee can free us from the greatest danger, sorry for being ambitious. Each of the decisions of the Vaisnava absorbed in preaching blesses the universe, thank you very much for showering auspiciousness on our lives.

Your eternal would-be servant

Asta sakhi Devi Dasi.

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna! We spent like 2-hours working on the travel at the end of our visit to here in India today [10-24th January].

We bought our Delhi - Bombay ticket and now we are working on the North East tickets.

Next we can work on Mexico, no!

Very nice.

A Cultural Anthropologist WhatsApped us:

"Dear Maharaja,

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

How are you doing?

We are back in Mayapur settling back into a routine.

My wife mentioned to me something about a symposium at Radha Kunda coming up in November.

With her encouragement, I would like to come alone to do some service. Do you have any seva for me? What are the exact dates? I would like to book my tickets.

Your servant

Dhruvānanda Dasa"

paoho

Very illuminating to hear from you.

We are getting calmed down in Radha-kunda.

Discussing getting together about Odana Sasti, November 29th, for some work on integrating NIOS work with BRC work.

Bhaktivedanta

Research

Center.

It is also Vyasapuja of B. S. Damodara Swami and H. P. Swami's Sannyasa anniversary.

Now your assigment, should you chose to accept it, is to tell us how NIOS and BRC (and four more affiliates) can expand the Kirtan of Sri Krsna Chaitanya. Who should join this program in Odana Sasti (and days before or after)?

Weigh Ting You Urrr Ree Ply?

Querido Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

¡Todas las glorias al divino Radhakunda y sus residentes!

Siempre con la gratitud hacia su ejemplo de entrega al servicio a Śrī Krsna.

Estuvimos preocupados por su fiebre pero luego vimos que se había calmado con yoga. Que el Señor Nrisimhadeva le proteja.

HpS - We make little mistakes in controlling our movement, schedule, association, diet and our Pitta goes crazy. We are learning how to control it.

I think you know this better than we do.

Respecto a la visita a México, prabhu Gadhadara Gosai y su esposa Ananda maya dd continúan con los arreglos necesarios. Estamos muy agradecidos con ellos.

En una carta anterior mencioné el tema de la fecha de las iniciaciones.

ASA- We talked with Govinda promodini Devi Dasi about the Mexico visit for about an hour yesterday.

We can fix the dates and buy the tickets in the next few days.

Houston to Monterey with no real stop in Mexico D.F. Arrive day or two before Gaura purnima.

Then, if some one wants to develope it we can have Caitanya Cinema Circle: How to make, distribute K. C. films.

Rural Devlopment and Agriculture. This could be in cooperation with local university, school, with certificate.

Other seminars of presentations that devotees like to make.

We can celebrate Rama-navami in Mexico City.

Considerando las propuestas en relación al tema de hospedaje en la Finca, el Miércoles 15 de Marzo de 2023, aparición de Srivas Pandita, resulta ser la mejor fecha para la ceremonia de fuego.

Algunos devotos han estado preguntando sobre la estadía en México así que enviamos la plataforma de registro.

Campamento ASA México - Monterrey 2023.

Las fechas aproximadas son las que Usted sugirió inicialmente, se definen con la compra del ticket.

Estamos tomando la vía de la formalidad para llevar un orden beneficioso para todos, esperamos la comprensión de los vaisnavas interesados por favor.

Agradecemos al staff de registro que están apoyando con este servicio (Héctor, Krsna kirtana das, Kumari dd, Karuna Sakti dd) y vuestra servidora tratando de apoyar.

Muchas gracias Gurumaharaja por la oportunidad de ocupar nuestra mente en el servicio a los vaisnavas y la oportunidad de vapuh.

Prontamente varios festivales incluyendo la aparición de SS Bhakti svarupa Damodara Swami y sus 38 Aniversario de sannyasa.

HpS - Si, 29 Novimebre. Esperando muy buen evento aqui en Radha-kunda y reuniones adminisrativas, organizadoras, para NIOS. NIOS Monterey.

ASA - We hope your home, country, becomes Goloka.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva,

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

First of all i wish you a blessed Kartik Masa while in the holy land. I hope you are well.

HpS - We are always with bodily struggle against mosquitos, malaria (?), etc. That is the material world, no?

It makes us smile, but then we get association gentlemen in this Blog!

I can hardly imagine even how lively that must feel, judging from where i am, living in this dense civilization, in my structured life of family, work and kids and their elementary school program.

We are doing reasonably well, by Radha Gopinatha's grace.

Trying to visit at least one program a week (home program or ISKCON Amsterdam SF), holding up some standard in chanting, reading, hearing (Wisdom Of The Sages)

In regards to my question, i think it would be a good idea if i take the opportunity to fly to spain while you're there next January. However, i don't know when exactly or where to go. Can you already shed some light on that?

HPS!!! - We also don't know. Basically wherever it is we would like just to stay one place from the 25th January to the 22nd Februrary.

One suggestion is New Vraja Mandala, near Madrid, but cold.

Another is Canary Islands.

We are waiting for news from the Yadunandana Swami.

Stay tuned for further developments.

You seem to be doing real effective work for Srila Prabhupada!

Your servant, somewhere in the back,

Raghava Pandita dasa
