Letters to the editor

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

Read the letter from Mantri Rama prabhu, and was thinking to ask you here on the Blog (if that is all right), what is the situation in Mayapur? I hear some snippets of description, not knowing if it is a balanced description. How the situation in Mayapur affects ISKCON worldwide (if at all)?

Thank you!
Your servant Namacarya Das

 HpS - AgtSP. I don't know too much. Probably no more than you. Maybe some materially attached Indian devotees want more local control and less international GBC control. Lot of money and power involved.

Is interesting we don't know. Seems unhealthy. Always problems in material world. If you can contact Prahlada Nrsimha, he might be able to give more news.

Can you collect the previous and future cookie recipes? Maybe they can be a part of an ASA cookbook: Bachelor Beans.

We are in Houston until tomorrow. Very short of breath from steroid medication. That is o.k. We can serve Krsna without air, no?

Hare Krsna  Gurudeva, please accept my obeisances, and  all my

... please do not publish this letter,
Please would you  contact me at my email:  ....

I'm sorry for writting you as urgent, but as i told you in my last letter, i had plans to marry on 19th of May, due to my fiance is from Peru, we needed her civil papers certificated to be used in Mexico for the wedding, so we made de arrangement with her family, still, the letter hasnt arrived yet and there is no guarantee that they would arrive at time to make proper arrangements with civil registry to get a space at that date...
we dont want to cancel or pospose the date of the wedding because we have plans to travel together at June, besides, the astrologer who made our compability chart said that date is the best planetary arrangement in this months for us particularly, and also we had some guests making changes on their job to be able to assist..

So, our Grihastha shiksha, Radhika Mataji said we can keep on the planning and make a Gandharva wedding propperly asisted by Aravinda Prabhu to have as witness of the formality a Sinior devotee of ISKCON, and to get the blessings of the most Vaishnava possible at the date which is more auspicious, of course, with the understanding that whenever the letter arrive to our city we will inmediattly go to the office to make civil wedding accordingly to the society.
Aravinda prabhu asked me to send you this letter because he is not so sure that arrangement is in concordance with ISKCON's view, even though he said that if you aprove it, he will participate joyfully.

I just want to say, that even though i know the importance of the civil laws, it is not the case that we didn't wanted to marry by those laws, but we could not made the propper arrangements at time; speaking for me, i have related with Sri Radha as my wife for the last 6 months we have been sharing laxmi, plans of life, taking care of each other, etc. So my personal view is that making the Gandharva wedding on 19th May and then civil wedding at the moment we recieve the documents would be as when Srila Prabhupada recommended that if you have to travel at an inauspicious to travel, then just make your luggage and put them out the day before, and then continue with travel next day... But please, correct me if im wrongly understanding or speculating.
 

We will be happy to make whatever you decide.

HpS - ASA -   AGTSP paoho & bw!   It seems fine to us. You are consulting with a lot of sane people. How do you biological families feel about this?  Have you got the blessings of the Temple Authorities?  Main things is chant 16-good rounds daily and follow the 4-principles strictly, then you can't make any big mistakes. After that have full morning program together.
Fine point is to read and discuss the marriage of Kardama and Devahuti together and even as a small seminar with other Grhasthas. Make comments and even puiblish it all.

O.K?

ASA - Hare Krsna! Very nice to hear from you. We posted you letter to the Blog so we can get the opinion of the Monkey Horde.

Is it possible to communicate through that media, ASA Blog?

Your proposal sounds SUPER-EXCELLENT. Let's make a profound contribution toward Lord Caitanya's movement in Cusco, La Paz and Cochabam ba ba.

Awaiting comments on the Blog.

Gurudeva me gustaria que Ud. explicara y refutara estos temas en alguna conferencia futura con el libro viaje facil a otros planetas,  tengo una encrusijada debo explicar la teoria de Big bang, la cual es atea esta en la curricula educacional, y es la teoría emblematica, recuerdo que la mayoria de profesores cuando tocan ese tema dan una charla sobre la falsedad de la biblia y de la teoría creacionista, quisiera explicar esta teoría enfatisando su falsedad y me gustaria pasar la pelicula de Oscar de la luz de la bhagavata, que me recomienda, la geografía es interesante, ahora la veo mas como sankhya muy basico, que me sugiere, como ayudar a que los alumnos no rechasen o duden de su religión y a la vez conozcan de teorias cientificas y no sean influenciados por ideas ateas e impersonalistas de cientificos limitados.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Tiene que colectar la teoria del Big Bang en una forma simple y entonces podemos criticar.

Si puede tener con Hare Krsna Das en Mejico, el probablmente tiene gran lectura en esta area en Espanyol!

Por favor acepte mis reverencias ! 
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada !

Querido 
Gurumaharaja: 
Su servidora, Karuna sakti dd y madre Lavanga dd. 
tenemos un colectivo artístico "Natabara". Tratamos de predicar produciendo teatro, danzas, etc. etc.

Actualmente estamos dirigiendo algunas danzas, una de ellas es danza rasa, por la facilidad de la coreografía. 
Se presentarán en el festival de Ratha Yatra de México en el mes de mayo.

Contamos con 13 madres jóvenes para esto, 2 días de ensayo por semana en el templo.

Estamos estudiando el libro "Krsna", cada madre expone y dirige una representación teatral de 10 minutos de un capítulo.

Empezamos con los demonios que Krsna mato, para llegar al tema de la danza rasa en estos días.

Mi pregunta es, Usted tiene o conoce una guía de estudios del libro Krsna qué nos recomiende?

HpS - No, pero Prabhupada da mucho explicacion y claro hay canto diez en Ingles for Gopi paranadhana y Hrdayananda Goswami, y comentario de Vsivannatha Cakravarti por HH Bhanu Swami in INgles.

Danza rasa es deficil.

Jaya Radha Madhava, Gaura arati, Dasa avatara,   UDILLO ARUNA!   Ellos son super para Drama/Danza, no?

Muy bien.  Va a clubes de Rotary, Lions. Vesten todas mujeres de los Leones en Saris.
Por favor, digamos cual  es su consejo para poder estudiarlo mejor.

Hemos enviado un video de ensayo a SS. Bhaktisundar Goswami y le agrado mucho, SS. Guruprasad Swami, recientemente nos vio reunidas y nos alentó a continuar. 

La danza no es bharatanatyam, pero esta muy completa  y expresa muchos humores: encanto de la flauta de Krsna, felicidad, sentimiento de separación, Gopis imitando a Krsna en diversos pasatiempos, etc.

Mi intención personal, es, si alguien ve la danza, esa persona siente que esta leyendo el libro Krsna. 

Necesitamos sus bendiciones por favor Gurumaharaja.

* Mi salud no ha estado bien últimamente, pero, ya esta mejorando, realmente no es grave. 
La gravedad es el temor a perder la conciencia en Krsna por los  malestares.  Esto hace que admiré muchísimo a grandes santos como Usted.

Perdón por mis ofensas por favor. 
Su siempre y eterna servidora. 
Asta Sakhi dd.

HpS - Muy bien!   Jaya Radha-madhava!   Gaura arati!   Y Udillo aruna.  Udillo aruna es el mejor cancion que tenemos para predica!

La muerte es la sumen total de mal salud. Mal salud es preparacion para el cambio de cuerpo. No es tan importante. Utiliza lo que tiene para Sankirtan. Mire Prabhupada, hueso y piel, y aun tocando el Gran Mrdanga y el sonido pasando por todo el mundo!!
