Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Espero que este bien Maharaja, le quería preguntar una duda que tengo acerca de una frase que un discípulo suyo me envió que dijo usted.

En el texto dice que el que duerme en el Brahma muhurtha tomara conciencia para nacer como rata en Vrindavan en la siguiente vida; entonces tengo dos preguntas:

1- Es que nacer como cualquier tipo de animal en Vrindavan es una bendicion incluso como una rata y será su ultimo nacimiento en la tierra. Por qué si dormir en el Brahma muhurtha no es una austeridad tiene ese resultado tan bueno de nacer en Vrindavan.

2- Cual es la fuente de los sastras donde indica esa información ? ya que no la escuche antes en las escrituras.

Muchas gracias.

Su sirviente.

Madhavendra Puri Dasa.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope Maharaja is well.

HpS - 90%, but fighting with The Witch. Your association is essential!

I wanted to ask you a question I have about a phrase that a disciple of yours sent me that you said.

In the text he says that the one who sleeps in the Brahma muhurtha will become conscious to be born as a rat in Vrindavan in the next life; so I have two questions:

1- It is that being born as any type of animal in Vrindavan is a blessing even as a rat and it will be its last birth on earth. Why if sleeping in the Brahma muhurtha is not an austerity does it have such a good result of being born in Vrindavan.

HpS - ASA -- I don't think we said that. I think it was the prediction of Monkey or Piggy et al. Prabhupada said, (they say), that if we are in ISKCON, but don't follow the regulative principles well then Krsna may find a way to sneak us into Vrndavana by the back door eg. as rats in the sewers or lusty monkeys.

But he said better to come in through the front door with our head up, showing a good example of Srila Prabhupada.

He said, there are already enough monkeys in Vrndavana.

2- What is the source of the sastras where it indicates that information? since I did not hear it before in the scriptures.

HpS - We would have to find Monkey and ask him. The above is part of the "Sastric" citation. Morning walk? Class? Also, now we are remembering Srila Prabhupada saying in one of these also about ... I think Yajnavalkya Das b'cari told me he heard Prabhupada say that if we sleep during Mangala arati we will become rats in our next life. They like to pile up together under ground and sleep.

Story of regular day of Krsna in Krsna book gives nice description of Brahma muhurta and its importance.

Thanks a lot.

His servant.

Hare Krsna.

Your association is so marvelous.

We can barely write.

We are hot in our room.

Want to fall asleep.

Yet just writing in ecstacy to you and we can make our way through the mode of ignorance, but we are afraid that it will kill us.

That's O.K.

We have done everything we need to to do.

Now it is time to die.

-or-

Live!

Live or die, stay or fly,

as Krsna's bird.

Getting our rounds done.

Finished the Reports from last year!!!! If you feel you are a fifth class disciple, then we are like a 7th class "guru", but we try within the shade of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet.

We answered a lot of other mail.

We have so much to do, but our eyes are collapsing. No walk tonight because it is below Free Zing. 😁

The old machine is starting to groan, so better rest it before it collapses.

Lot of nice looking letters, but can't get to them.

Will answer one or two URGENT even if we die trying.

ASA'

Srila Prabhupada gave us the KRSNA book and so much more. He was managing his chemical factory and then became a full time Brahmana absorbed in writing and teaching!

We worked on the 'Viplavah' today. We finished editing Vaisesika Das' interview.

It is amazing how we got it transcibed so quickly.

It took a fair amount of editing but it is so nice.

Maybe we can finish 'Viplavah' tomorrow.

Have not been able to get to too much more mail.

Our eyes just won't handle too much more screen work.

-4 degrees Celscius here at night.

Every night 45-minute brisk walk with NgD.

"Ayodhya" comes from "yudhya", to fight. So, a-yodhya means an undefeatable city!

We prepare for local Kirtan and class. Will send the youtube link at 7.25PM.

Hari Bolo!! Purify the three worlds with your Sankirtan.

😐

Thank you for the letters! AGTSP! Paoho. Got one from Jagat bandhu Das in Mexico that is a week old. So, sorry we have not answered it yet.

We did our Whatsapp letters, and emergency Yahoo mail, and now our eyes and heart are:

E ..... don't want to push Bro. Ass any more or he may be dead by tomorrow, but seems we will get to everything timely! Hare Krsna.

So nice to get your association: FMP! SB, NoI, classes. Calls. Blog... just by chanting. If we need some kind of external communication Krsna will tell us.

Sent a copy of Solaris to Radhanatha Swami also.

Lord Nrsmha deva tolerates our bad service!! 😥 Today we offered Him two bananas, 1/2-cup of yogurt, cup of cashews and a can of hot V-8 juice.

The Tweets seem to be pretty good.

Always have NoI, TLC, LoB with you, by the door etc. so that you can give it to people.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna... Always experimenting with ways to get people to read, take, the Bhaktivedanta Summary Studies and Purports.

AGTSP.

Paoho.

We have had, very, very low energy for the last two days. Just taking Ekadasi type Prasad.

We have to just do very light work, no complicated thinking.

Maybe more energetic tomorrow. Get to the messages.

Yet, happy, learning new things about Krsna-kirtan.
