Letters to the editor

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.

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.

Vuestra aspirante a sirviente

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

AgtSP. Paoho.

Our donkey is too old to travel alone. At least international.

Anyone like to be our travel partner Delhi to Madrid, 25 January.

Maybe someone coming from Spain could go back with us that date.

We are traveling on Etihad.

NIOS should be able to give some help with the cost of the ticket.

Thank you.

Hare Krsna!!!

[10/11, 9:15 AM] Hp Swami: We leave Bharata 25 January. 

Before we leave we should visit Northeast? 

Govardhana Eco-village?

When?  What places?

If we start 11 January then it is just three days from now. So, we should buy tickets now, no?

Dear Guru Maharaja.

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

We hope you have settled down in your ashram in Radhakunda and all you travels were successful. We saw some pictures of your welcoming in the Delhi temple and they were fantastic.

We will be traveling to India in November and will be there till end of February. Divya is leaving on 9-Nov and I am planning to arrive closer to thanksgiving. Her health is fine. She has been engaged in lots of services, especially dressing our deities here and she is getting good at it by your mercy.

There are lots of things happening in India during our visit this time. It has been 3 years since we went back. Divya’s sister in law is expecting and her due date is around 20-Nov. This would be the first child in Divya’s side. On 1-Jan, we are celebrating a function for my father’s 70th birthday called Bhimaratha Shanthi. On 18-Jan is our visa appointment and on 27-Jan, Srirama is getting married. It is taking a few weeks for the passports to come back from the consulate. So we will return at the end of February once we get our passports back.

ASA - You are going to India in November but you are getting your Visas in February? Do you mean that you will leave India with your Indian passports and then get your USA work Visas renewed from the Indian consulate after you get there and then be able to come back to USA on a work Visa?

One mataji here has been behind me to be her “mentor/siksha guru”. I don’t know how to deal with it Guru Maharaja because she is not just asking her questions on just Shastric understanding but also on people and situations here. I have told her many times that I don’t feel comfortable nor qualified doing it but she is relentless. Because since I am running the educational initiatives here and give many classes, many ppl think of me for more than who I am. I am honest with them about my position and yet they keep looking at me at a higher position . How should I deal with the situation Gurudeva?

Tom Brown - Drink Coca Cola during the Sunday Feast. Ha! Ha! Ha! ASA - This is a problem as old as the moon. People trying to push you into artificial positions. An Uttama adhikari reacts to it effectively in a spontaneous manner. Doesn't have to work on it. A Madhyama adhikari becomes expert at avoiding the materialistic tendency of people to make artificial Gurus so they can become "intimate associates" of a GREAT guru.

Work on it. It is a problem for everyone. It is like learning to be a husband. Takes time.

We are planning to book our tickets to Vrindavan closer to your Vyasapuja and wanted to confirm the dates so that we can book the tickets and accommodation soon.

ASA - Our Vyasapuja, effort to glorify the Parampara from Krsna to you, to your disciples, is on the Appearance day of Locan Das Thakura. I think that is 24th December. We can plan various events around that time.

We don't even want to thnk about it unless Srila Prabhupada is clearly illuminated as accepted by any of our disciples as their principle Uttama adhikari guru.

Please bless us that we may gain entrance into Vraja to meet you.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HpS - Thank you on behalf of everyone for nice letter.

Went for the Diksa ceremony for four disciple. Read about it in the Kapi Dhvaja.

We will try to post it after we send then letter.

That was from 8Am to 1PM.

Back. Ate a little too much Banana bread. Learning.

Nap.

Sorting correspondences.
