Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, ISKCON being a multi guru association we have multi guru opinion and conclusions. 

Some say the initiation must be done by a liberated soul, because only a liberated soul can take you back to Godhead. So who is doing the actual guidance? Srila Prabhupada or mantra guru is initiating on behalf of Srila Prabhupada? 

And regarding the initiation on behalf of Srila Prabhupada this guru is all for it absorbing the RITVIKS!

What is the diksa monkey gurus HPS opinion OR UNDERSTANDING? Is he taking disciples on behalf of Srila Prabhupada and just acting as Siksa? Or HPS is a liberated soul and taking disciples as his disciples?

Here are some videos of Sankirtan in Yuba City California where I try to distribute Srila Prabhupadas books to Punjabi’s and Muslims.

And if I call a rubber stamped guru bogus because of having to sign a gag order of the GBC IS ok..🙏🏾

Did HPS sign a gag order that can be used against his guru license and can be suspended anytime?

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna. AGTSP.... Esteemed Sac Singh. Can we know a little more about you? Your questions seem to cover a lot of ground to give very specific answers.

Did you read our explanation of what is understanding of how we are giving initiation? It is at http://www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt . It is based on the NOI but I think it is quite complete enough for practical purposes.

O.K.?

I don't have the connection to look at the videos!!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Obeisances Gurudeva 

Still, in ISKCON Callao, it was a great experience, I feel very fortunate. 

So, we need your help, please write a text talking about the propose of this service, this magazine called "MOLINOS DE VIENTO", I think that "LUCHANDO CONTRA MOLINOS DE VIENTO" is so long for the title. What do you think? Do you have a better name?

HpS - AGTSP!!! I dont know Spanish culture so well, but it sounds like a good title. We are fighting with the Wind Mills of the mind.

I remember that your desire for this project is found our identity and the union of the congregation of ISKCON Chile. So, we need your words to put it in our first step. 

Thank you very much, Gurudeva. 

Hare Krishna

HpS - All we can do is remember what we have heard from Srila Prabhupada and others in terms of his wisdom. The periodical is the back-bone of the community. It allows everyone to see what everyone else is doing and then co-operate in our Sankirtan.

Of course, start with what you, the editor, want to communicate, and then what others want to communicate and then the format, content, sections, rhythm of the periodical with develope naturally.

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama, AGTSP. paoho. Partly because of the turbulent situation in Chile and the chance to join with Shonu Shyamdasani and Bernardo Nantes in Argentina, in consultation with devotees from Chile, Argentina and Peru, we have suspended the trip to Santiago, and after one hour of vigorous effort got a complete refund for the ticket and bought a new ticket.

1 Nov, LIM :> EZE (22.45 > 5.00AM)

20 Nov, EZE :> LIM (19.00 > 21.50)

This means we will be returning to Lima ten days earlier than planned from Santiago and we might be able to go from Lima to Santiago then if it is good or spend more time with projects and people in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.

O.K?

===============================================

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama, AGTSP. paoho En parte debido a la turbulenta situación en Chile y la oportunidad de unirse a Shonu Shyamdasani y Bernardo Nantes en Argentina, en consulta con devotos de Chile, Argentina y Perú, hemos suspendido el viaje a Santiago, y después de una hora de esfuerzo vigoroso obtuvimos un reembolso completo por el boleto y compró un nuevo boleto.

1 Nov, LIM :> EZE (22.45 > 5.00AM)

20 Nov, EZE :> LIM (19.00 > 21.50)

Esto significa que volveremos a Lima diez días antes de lo planeado desde Santiago y podríamos ir de Lima a Santiago si es bueno o pasar más tiempo con proyectos y personas en Perú, Ecuador y Bolivia.

O.K?

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

You wrote on Twitter "So much editing needed for KRSNA book." Please, can you say and explain more about this, for some, hot topic ?

Thank you.

Your servant Namacarya Das

HpS - AGTSP. Have you listened to the tapes from www.prabhupadavani.org? They are very nice, but Srila Prabhupada says so many things are grammatically incorrect in English. Also when I say, "Dinner will be at 7PM" my tone of voice can make it a question very clearly, no? But, it can also be a statment, so there also has to be editing even for a native speaker from spoken English to written English.

Content changes for example we feel would include the mention of Mirabhai in the dictation tapes and then being removed from the first and all Krsna book printings. That I suspect was done by Srila Prabhupada when he manually edited the typed manuscript. The devotees would have had no reason to remove her name. I would think he would have done it because her situation is not exactly clear in Parampara system, though I think he considers her a nice devotee.

Another one is that in the takes Srila Prabhupada says that Iskcon devotees can take rocks from Govardhana and worship them at home like we worship the Deity. Then in the Krsna book it does not say, "devotees of ISKCON", it says "great devotees". So, again, seeing the transcript I would say that Srila Prabhupada had second thoughts about authorizing his ISKCON students and manually changed it.

These are some of our thoughts.

What do you think?

Beloved Guru Maharaja thank you for answering my letter, I left the temple 4 days ago, I no longer live there, after 10 years. I have distributed 540 large books and 50 Bhagavad Gitas in his 4 days, it was incredible, by force and dedication that comes from your practice and high devotion, I am emotionally destroyed and I have a strong existential crisis, so I occupy all the time in sankirtan, tomorrow we will do Sankirtan Harinama with the devotees of the temple, I found a family that can help me open a Ashram for university students, I travel to Colombia tomorrow and Maha Visnu Swami asked me to return to Mexico to join her group to travel through South America, I really give up Guru Maharaja I don't know how to stay longer in this world, I hate being here in this world Matter Guru Maharaja, please beg me to explain how I can get out of this jail, please help me. I love you more than everything. 

his servant Vrajendra Kumara Das

HpS - Good!!! Very Good! You will go to hell for Krsna!

That is all there is to devotional service.

Serving Krsna in any circumstance.

DO IT!!

16-GOOD ROUNDS AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! We hope after two weeks to hear from you.

AgtSP. Paoho. Internet horrible. Your letter lost. Both suggestions seem fine but we cannot give much detailed advice. Suggest that you have a determined partner for any project you start. Two or three would be better but is hard to get.
