HpS - Muy bien!!!!  Ya, Radha??????

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj

Dandavat Pranam unto your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Mukta Pravu and Rituraj Pravu who are organising your Manipur and Shillong trips respectively have been contacted by my father and after discussing and deliberating, finally have come up with a tentative schedule for North-East (from 25th Oct to 7 Nov) given below:

28th Oct- Arrival at Manipur

28th to 30th Oct- Stay at Imphal, Manipur

31st Oct- Flight from Imphal to Guwahati and then to Shillong

01st Nov- Stay at Shillong

02 Nov-Shillong to Guwahati and then flight to Silchar

03rd Nov- 5th Nov- Stay at Silchar

06th Nov- Silchar to Kolkata/Delhi etc.

Guru Maharaj, I must concede that the above schedule doesnt contain any information regarding your visit to Mayapur, Kolkata as they have no contact with the authorities concerned. So we all have a prayer unto your lotus feet that you kindly scrutinize the above mentioned and inform us any required changes as accordingly we shall be making preparation for your tour.  Also the 3rd Nov-5th Nov is the duration of stay at Silchar so Guru Maharaj, if you desire and presuming everything is conducive, the seminar may be held on any of these two days(most likely at 3rd Nov). Please forgive us and we are awaiting your further instruction.

Dandavat Pranam unto your lotus feet.

Hare Krsna

HpS - Hare Krsna!   AGTSP. Paoho.  Your work is of the highest quality. We are very inspired by your association and hope it continues naturally so that you can make great contribution to the movement of Lord Caitanya.

First, how is your Pita-sri, esteemed father? He is guru for all of us!  Mother, family? Friends?

Second, we talked with Dr. Samaresh in Kolkata and Tapan-misra Das et al from Mayapura. Mayapura is one of the most important places we have to visit for developing these Bhakti-sastri, Bhakti-vaibhava programs. They will be available in Mayapura from the 5th of November, so best we think of finishing the tour in Mayapura from 4th through 7th. Then we go to Delhi 7th morning and camp at the Temple during the day and go to the airport at 9PM.

Next 31st is Ekadasi on our Calendar so that is a very bad day for travel.

Then, we arrive in Kolkatta after 19-hours of travel through four countries at 12.20AM on the 26th with a 70-year old American body.   Hmmmm.    Best it stay in Kolkatta for Thursday to Saturday nights at least and then go to North East returning to CCU (Kolkatta) by the 4th morning LATEST. We have to check with our Authority, Dr. Samaresh and see how many days he wants us to stay with him. If he wants to travel with us.
If we travel too much we will only be in autos and airplanes.
Maybe only one place in Northeast this time and then other places in March.
O.K. This is becoming more clear. Next we check with Dr. Samaresh.
I think because it is so late that we cannot organize any Symposium but we can organize Colloquia. That means we meet with the Professors and their friends and anyone else who can conventiently come. Jaya!

Hare Krsna querido Gurudeva

Disculpe tardarme tanto en escribir, en estos 8 meses hicimos maratones de Sankirtan en colombian, Panamá  y México, tambien trabajamos mucho en Bhakti Vrksa. Todo se lo debo a su infinita misericordia muchas gracias.

Ud me había pedido que lo llamara por teléfono y me daba 2da iniciasion en Gaura Purnima pero fue muy dificil, el presidente del templo de Mexico df P Maharsi d y la madre Asta Sakhi dd me dijeron q estaban desacuerdo con q tome 2da y quería preguntarle si Ud esta de acuerdo en q lo llame en alguna de estas fechas especiales para tomar 2da para mi seria un honor ser aceptado por ud.

También me pidieron preguntarle si ud esta deacuedo con que viaje a la india en Kartika o en Gaura Purnima cuando Ud considere mejor si ud considera bueno q valla, pues el año pasado cuando ud me pidió viajar a india el templo no tenia muchos recursos y no me dejaron colectar pero ahora me dieron la oportunidad de colectar mis tiketes .

Gracias por su inspiración contante, soy un perro a sus pies. Espero su respuesta.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Pamho Agtsp

Sorry for taking so long to write, in these 8 months we did Sankirtan marathons in Colombia, Panama and Mexico, we also worked a lot in Bhakti Vrksa. I owe it all to his infinite mercy, thank you very much.

HpS - Our mercy is not "infinite", but Srila Prabhupada's and Krsna's sure seems very, very deep to us!   All glories to your mercy also! We feel very humble to see your Sankirtan.

You asked me to call him on the phone and he gave me a second initiation in Gaura Purnima but it was very difficult, the president of the temple of Mexico, P Maharsi d and the mother Asta Sakhi dd, they told me that they disagreed with q that I took 2nd and wanted to ask him if You agree that I call you on any of these special dates to take 2nd for my it would be an honor to be accepted by you.

HpS - I don't remember that we discussed Second Initiation after all this time but it seems like we certainly might have discussed it then.

It is not clear. Maharsi Das and M. Asta sakhi DD did not think that it was a good idea for you to take Second Initiation last Gaura-purnima, but now they think it is good idea?

I was also asked to ask if you are willing [for us] to travel to India in Kartika or Gaura Purnima when you consider it better if you consider it good q fence, because last year when you asked me to travel to India the temple did not have many resources and not They let me collect but now they gave me the opportunity to collect my tiketes.

HpS - Hare Krsna. We can tell you that distributing books and keeping the association of devotees like Aravinda Das et al in general is very good, but we cannot give you detailed advice that it is good for you to take Second Initiation in just a few days or go to India without more detailed knowledge of your life.

We just had very nice talk on the phone with the help of Govinda-pramodini DD and we were also surprised to hear that you are associating with a lady with perspective of getting married. As I remember when we last talked you were trying to remain an enthusiastic Brahmacari.

Second Initiation means that now we are Ladies and Gentlmen for Krsna. So, these things, like marriage, going to India for pilgrimage, Second Initiation, should be part of our exemplary social relations. Of course, you can keep contact with us through the Blog and we do make the effort to be in Mexico for even personal contact, but even if there is not so much of that then we can be in touch with the leaders of your cultured community such as Temple President and others with whom we have relationships and then give good advice on these details.

So, (1) Asta Sakhi and Maharsi were not agreeable for you to take Second Initiation last Gaura purnima, but now they think you have made the proper progress to take this nice step forward?  (2) What is the name of your financee? Is she a member of our glorious ISKCON community? Tell us about her.

Waiting for for your delightful answers with great enthusiasm, like Lord Balarama!

Thank you for your constant inspiration, I am a dog at your feet. I am looking forward to your response.

Your aspirant to Disciple

Pd: Sorry I did not serve you the two times I came but we were from Sankirtan marathon.

México df

Pd: disculpe no servirlo las dos veces que vino pero estábamos de maratón de Sankirtan.

Hahaha!! Hare Krisna beloved and esteemed Gurudev!!
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
You said you are going to look at funny titles and answer letters with urgent on it. So i guess i accomplish both requirements to get an answer.
 

It was so so inspiring having met you in chile!!
I almost forgot about spiritual bliss until i was there with you all at ISKCON chile.
In your last Kd you named all devotees who traveled from Argentina but me. Please please forgive me if i commited any offense! I'm too stupid. Don't throw me away!!

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP!! We didn't name everyone. We just grabbed some of the names that jumped out at us. Maybe not always for the best of reasons. Maybe.

Of course, your association during our visit in Chile gave great enthusiasm  to us and everyone. Also, Manu and Benjamin. They have great opportunities and great challenges in life, no?

Thank you so much for such great lectures and wonderful Harinam!! Big realizations with both.
Mandara sakha Prabhu did a great service and recorded all of them and uploaded them so we got all the néctar!!
ASA - We hope Lord Siva removes the poison.

Yesterday i was reading a book about Jayananda prabhu and i came to one of your memories with him, about french devotee speaking about different diets and Jayananda told you that so far what works well is work hard and eat little. Wisdom!!
I feel embarrased to notice how great service are, my godbrothers from Peru and Chile, doing for you and I'm doing nothing. Please Gurudev engage us in your service. I'm a busy fool but i guess i can give like 3 hours a week. I don't know, maybe translate anything. I remember something about Upadesamrita you wanted to do.
In the same direction i think you are working in a book about sankhya. Can you please Gurudev explain me a little bit about this book.
I remember when i was translating you in Cordoba like two years ago, at the Jungian Society, that lecture you gave really shooked me, when you compared Jung's phylosophy with Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu, the different bhavas. That day I realized how deep are SP's books, that everything we need to know to transcend are inside those books. How profound is Vaisnava Phylosophy, first class science. So is hard to me to understand why most people does not take shelter on this books but go on reading about modern self-help processes based on contemporary psychology, like hoponopono, a course in miracles by inner peace foundation, Claudio Naranjo 's eneagrama theory, new germanic medicine, etc.
I would like to see a work in this matter by you, it would be so enlightening, cause you are an expert in this subject matter. So, so inspiring.
Maharaja Dhanurdhara Swami wrote an essay on this topic, yoga psychology, here is the link to it. http://wavesofdevotion.com/essays/yoga-psychology/

So mahatmas have no time, they relish eternal bliss for having taken shelter in The Supreme Lord. But duratmas also have no time, they always run for sense gratification which never satisfies them.
Thank you so much Gurudev,
Your Spiritual potency is astonishing!!
What would be of this world without travelling Sadhus, what would be...
Your proud and fallen apprentice,
Nikunja bihari das.

HpS - Hare Krsna. I hope the letters we posted yesterday are of some use. We are being PUSHED by Radhika and many others to write about the Sankhya. We got a got of the most famous review of Anisvara-kapila's Sankhya. He was a philosopher, who the Britannica says , lived about 50-BC. Prabhupada mentions that his philosophy promotes an atheistic conclusion of the structure of reality.

We read some of it.

We are getting free from our administrative duties. All we have now are making some Grant Applications for NIOS and the ISKCON Education Journal. Anything else we take we will struggle to accept only because it promotes this writing work.

I think the NOI comments are going ahead in Peru. From what we hear of your activities you are doing a lot for us and Srila Prabhupada. You are giving intimate chance for great spiritual life to Benjamin and Manu et al.

Devotees in Chile do so much during our visit and during the time for organizing that but of course, they have other work just like you at other times.

Right now it is 4.45PM. We arrive in Arrequipa today and are having a fire sacrifice for two initiations in a few moments. It is high and cold but very dry. Still very weak voice but using it carefully.

Everywhere is possibility to teach. Renato, initiation today, is prominent guy in Radio Harmony. Many listeners 24-hours daily.

Quick call and we were right on the live show. It was packed into the mode of passion for the after noon audience, but we had a really great time. No, translator here. "What should we do, Hanuman Swami".

We should should, Hallelujah, or Allaha Akbar or Hare Krsna and then we will feel the presence of God without doubt and you can be free of this stress which is grabbing your soul!

"After that"?

Look for a good church, fellowship and of course this Hare Krsna movement is offer great literature and regular programs. We know many priests who get great inspiration from this church.  God is too big for one religion.

The interviewer kept prolonging the interview.

Lots of sunshine here.

O.K. Back to our sensorial background.

Watch for the news of our ASA Sankirtan here and join it. Help Ambo and Jagat with the Spanish ISKCON Education Journal.

Hare Krsna querido Guru Maharaja

Acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Primero ofrecerle mil disculpas por pronunciarnos tan tarde, lamentablemente nuestros intentos por comunicarnos con usted  fueron fallidos. En el templo de Arequipa tenemos dos aspirantes para primera iniciación Bhakta Renato y Bhaktin Rukmini. Bhakta Renato ya le envió su carta de recomendación así que solo tenemos pendiente la carta de Bhaktin Rukmini que adjuntamos a continuación.

Su eterna sirvienta
