Letters to the editor

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

En el auspicioso día de Guru purnima ofrecemos nuestras reverencias a Srila Vyasadeva.

Ofrecemos nuestras reverencias y gratitud infinita a Usted que nos está conduciendo a los pies de loto de Srila Prabhupada.

Nuestra gratitud a todos nuestros maestros.

Los devotos están muy felices que el próximo año estará en México, el Señor Krsna es muy misericordioso con nosotros, vaisnavas como usted van por el mundo llevando con pureza las palabras de Srila Prabhupada, otorgando de ese modo la oportunidad más preciada que es regresar con el Señor Krsna.

Justamente en este día auspicioso, queremos inquirir sobre el aspecto formal del tema de Guru Tattva.

Actualmente tenemos en el templo un nuevo encargado del tema de las iniciaciones, he conversado con él por algunas situaciones particulares.

Desde que recibimos la noticia de su visita algunos aspirantes y los que no tienen segunda iniciación han estado preguntando sobre sus casos particulares para ver la posibilidad de recibir tal formalidad, algo que me preguntó el encargado es si Usted continuará dando iniciaciones a los devotos de México porque ha escuchado diversos comentarios.

Nos atrevemos a pensar que si hay candidatos con todos los requisitos completos en el 2023 podrían iniciarse durante su visita en una hermosa ceremonia, pero que pasará con aquellos que no se encuentren listos?

Nos preocupamos porque en la carta de Nicole de Chile leímos que las últimas iniciaciones de parte de Usted se llevarán a cabo en el 2023.

Por favor rogamos nos corrobore si esta información es oficial, para saber cómo orientar a los aspirantes de México. Posteriormente ellos deberían pensar en el refugio en otro maestro espiritual? Pospuesto también representa una oportunidad para volvernos más serios en la vida espiritual y alcanzar las metas para el desarrollo espiritual.

Pensamos que los devotos de otros países también podrían estar interesados en el tema.

Respecto al tema de su estancia, el día domingo tuvimos una reunión con nuestros hermanos espirituales, estamos avanzando con ese grato servicio, enviaremos otra carta con el reporte.

Muchas gracias por ocuparnos en servicio, por sus enseñanzas y su infinita paciencia. Esperamos poder ser útiles de alguna manera.

Vuestra aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

On the auspicious day of Guru Purnima we offer our obeisances to Srila Vyasadeva.

We offer our obeisances and infinite gratitude to You who are leading us to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada.

Our gratitude to all our teachers.

HpS - Super, Super, Super. So many helped us Eg. Benjamin Leafe.

The devotees are very happy that next year you will be in Mexico, Lord Krsna is very merciful to us, Vaisnavas like you go around the world carrying Srila Prabhupada's words with purity, thus granting the most precious opportunity which is to return with Lord Krsna.

Precisely on this auspicious day, we want to inquire about the formal aspect of the subject of Guru Tattva.

Currently we have in the temple a new person in charge of the topic of initiations, I have talked with him about some particular situations.

Since we received the news of your visit some aspirants and those who do not have a second initiation have been asking about their particular cases to see the possibility of receiving such a formality, something that the person in charge asked me is if you will continue giving initiations to the devotees of Mexico because you have heard various comments.

We dare to think that if there are candidates with all the requirements in 2023, they could be initiated during their visit in a beautiful ceremony, but what will happen to those who are not ready?

HpS - Yes, it seems like a nice goal!

We are concerned because in Nicole's letter from Chile we read that the last initiations from you will take place in 2023.

Please, please confirm if this information is official, to know how to guide the applicants from Mexico. Afterwards they should think about taking refuge in another spiritual master? Postponed also represents an opportunity to become more serious in spiritual life and achieve goals for spiritual development.

We think that devotees from other countries might also be interested in the topic.

Regarding the subject of your stay, on Sunday we had a meeting with our spiritual brothers, we are advancing with that pleasant service, we will send another letter with the report.

Thank you very much for taking care of us in service, for your teachings and your infinite patience. We hope we can be helpful in some way.

Your would-be servant

HpS - In general, we see our strength decreasing. New Diksa gurus are required always. We don't know exactly what the future holds, but right now we can talk about initiations according to the rituals in March 2023.

Thank you.

Radhe radhe,

My dear guru maharaja. it is nice to hear about your itinerary in India.

My phone number is 91 xxx. I will be very glad to assist the devotees with their accomodation in Radhakund.

I will be in Mayapur from July 15 until August 25, helping Haridev there because he has been enrolled in The Mayapur International School and his mother has a lot of seva here in Radhakunda, so I will go with him.

May Radha-Krsna bless you, hope to see you soo in this holy dhama.

Your (trying to be humble) servant

HpS - Very nice. Now we can connect with your by Whatsapp or even phone calls as necessary, and send devotees to talk with you. We are moving to connect with Sumantra Rudra from the BRC in Kolkata to organize the General Management of our trip to India.

Querido Gurudev : Pamho. Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que esta carta lo encuentre bien de ánimo.

Bueno, ya falta poco para que comience su aventura en España. Espero ser de alguna utilidad como chófer.

Quiero comentarle acerca del viaje a India, en el que ha habido algún mal entendido. Por mal entendimiento o por mala comunicación nosotros pensamos que este era su último viaje y , en definitiva, aunque venían algunos académicos, en realidad entendimos que era una especie de parikrama-sankirtana yajña.

Al principio yo tenía decidido no ir (por motivos personales), pero después un devoto me dijo que era una oportunidad única y también saqué mi pasaje. También se unieron algunos devotos más de España.

Ahora estoy entendiendo que el viaje es una especie de sankirtana de y por los académicos.

Así que la situación creada es algo incomoda.

HpS - Es para todos quien quieren asociar con nosotros en el Sankirtan de Senyor Gauranga. Buscamos Sita para presentar a Ella el mensaje de Rama! Jaya!

Pienso que el grupo de España podemos organizarnos nosotros mismos e irnos, primero a Mayapur y después a Vrindavan. Podemos coincidir en esos dos lugares y unirnos al grupo allí.

Eso podría facilitar la organización y a nosotros no nos causa un gran inconveniente.

Espero su opinión al respecto. 

Gracias 

Su sirviente 

Jayanta das 

HpS - Otra vez, tenemos mas y mas claro nuestra calendario para India:

Braja como cinco dias, Kolkata/Mayapura para como 8-dias y Manipura como tres dias, con unos dias de transito. Despues basado en Braja hasta regresa a Espanya.

Ya esperando contesta de Sumanta Rudra del BRC para finar viajes y programs interior.

Del Whatsapp:

Reverencias 

Jaya Srila Prabhupada 

Espero que se encuentre bien 

Le escribo para preguntarle si sería posible que nos diera una clase a cerca del “ Néctar de la Instrucción “ verso 3 para el miércoles 20 de Julio ?

Por favor confirmar 

Muchas gracias 🙏

[7:52 PM, 6/29/2022] Hp Swami: No, somos 110% ocupado con la programa de Houston etc!! Pero cada lunes a las 7.30PM tenemos una programa de Tava Pache Pache, nuestra recien commentio en NoI!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

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

My personal sadhana is going well Guru Maharaj, especially after Sadhu Sanga kirtan retreat. I feel a boost. I also spent a day with at Radhika Raman Prabhu's and it was wonderful.

I am chanting 16 rounds and following the 4 regulative principles. I am doing the FMP on most days and trying to make it so that i dont miss.

Thank you so much for giving me and my parents your association in April. It was a blissful afternoon and my parents were overjoyed that you could spend that time with us.

HpS/ASA - The feeling was very mutual. We spent about 1/2-hour preparing. Decorating!

Was very nice.

Hope they are realizing Lord Chaitanya's vani.

We had Rath Yatra and Panihati festival in Atlanta last week and it was ecstatic.

I saw in the Kapi Dhvaja that you'll be in India from September to January. Thats great news Guru Maharaj. I am also visiting India for my Visa stamping at the end of October and will be there till end of December.

If you'll be there in Vrindavan during Kartik, i'll also plan to be there for at least a week during my trip so that i can have the good fortune of participating in parikrama with you.

HpS - We can coordinate a calendar. We may be able to accomodate some guests in Radha kunda for a few days!

Also, with regards to your travel Guru Maharaj, i wanted to ask if there will be someone at the ashram in Boro while you are out of the US for the better part of a year? If its going to be empty, can we put the Wi-fi on hold like we did during your South America trip last year?

Your humble servant

Srirama Krishna Das

HpS - Jaya! paoho.... No one will be in the Ashrama, so maybe best to terminate and restart again when we are back from India (?) next Februrary, March? Whatever is best.

If we terminate, then they have to come before we leave town, because there is stuff to pick up for them.

We can always us the hot spot on our AT&T service.

Your Brother and Sister in law are here. They are a wonderful example to everyone.

Focus in becoming purified so that you can help Krsna in His Sankirtan. Everything else will follow automatically like the sun rising every day.

Thank you.

Hare Krishna Maharaja & obeisances!

AgtSP!

The Jung center has agreed for your program.

It will be presentation plus dinner.

They’re thinking to do it donation based. Are you okay with this? Please let me know so w can respond to them.

Thank you!

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Paoho.... 🐒 🐒 🦍🐒 What day and time is the program? Can we video tape the presentation and edit a copy for them and us?

Nayanamrta Das has us scheduled for morning SB classes 23rd, 25th, 28th and 30th of June. July is not yet scheduled.

Of course, we want to consider with Raula, Pablo et all about using these in our DTC video.

GBDD - Also Devender Krishna & Sumitra Radha Prabhus would like to do a program at their home. Would you be okay doing it on a Fri evening?

HpS/ASA - How delighful! As we mentioned in the previous post, Hari-lila Das has directed us to do a "NoI, Tava Pache Pache" seminar each Friday night.

So, Friday the 1st of July might be nice. If we get CoVid (##!) then that gives us two weeks to recover before the flight to Madrid, but should be outside in the fresh air with sufficient spacing etc, no?

Thank you!
