we already made three copies to local devotees and are sending two copies to peru next week.

we are asking devotees who receive the copies if it is possible to them to make two copies each to distribute.

we would like also to know who has tpp cb 1,2,3,4 and 7 so we get the whole collection.

your words heal. Mistic magic, supersoul. i'm keeping the pace with my rounds, UTSAHA!!

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Japa, Japa, Japa!  Get up early and get your rounds done.
As soon as we finish this little mail we will go for printing Tpp-Cb8 and make a copy for MDP, Lokanatha Das and anyone else we see in the few more recent letters.

CB1-7 are in folders just across he room. We can talk with Uncle Piggy about making copies and sending to the New Govardhana, Ayurvedic Ashrama.

At your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari das.

hare krshna dear gurudev pamho tlgasp

el motivo de escribirle esta carta es para informarle que no estoy
siguiendo todos los principios lamentablemente tengo serios problemas con
la intoxicación

es un problema muy serio el cual ya estamos haciendonos responsables  por
que queremos completr proyectos los cuales este factor no es un aliado . . . quiero avanzar en la vida espiritual por eso le cuento todo
esto mis rondas mejorando de a poco retomando los botos de 16 rons ,

con respecto a la relacion guru discipulo
veo que muchos devotos hablan asi como si fuese una relacion muy fuerte
incluso discipulos suyos dicen tener sierto rasa con ud
cual es enrealidad y esos rasas son axternos los que escucho hablar??
 

en lo personal a mi me gustaria tener una relacion mas intensa con ud .
usted cual es su punto de vista con respecto a eso y de que manera lo puedo
servir de manera extra de seguir los 4 principios y cantar 16 rons
por ultimo  e pensado que quiero situarme en varnaasram y . . .

todas las glorias a srila prabhupada

Thank you for your letter. First, Prabhupada had over a thousand disciples. I was like 1,111 or something like that. So, an intense relationship with the spiritual master does not mean physical or exchange of a lot of individual letters. As need there can be that.

Lord Caitanya had 4 intimate associates: Svarupa Damodara, Ramananda Rai, Sikhi Mahiti and Sikhi Mahiti's sister. Of course, since he was a Sannyasi He never spoke or even came close to SM's sister. Still she was one of the 4 most intimate amongst thousands.

So, the intimate connection with the spiritual master or any devotee is to try to understand their service and help them.

We are trying to serve people by counseling like this, answering letters. It is only possible through the Blog. If you just adjusted your letter a little bit, not naming your material addiction specifically then you could post your letter on the Blog, then this answer could go for at least 15-more devotees to see who have 97% the same problem as you. Then our letter load is reduced from 450 per month to 150 per month.

Of course, these addictions: sex, power, fame, intoxication, mental pleasure, are different for different people. You have to do your own work of using the tools that Lord Caitanya has given us to pull up your individual weeds. Some are very very deep.

Of course, full morning and evening program are essential process. Are you doing that? Are you getting up early and having time for your spiritual life?

We have to force our mind by hard work to taste spiritual pleasure then it will not be attracted by the material rasa which is a shadow.

 One very specific technique is to chant Hare Krsna all the time you are preparing to indulge in the vice, while doing it and then, maybe even one time of going through the experience like this you will see the stupidity of the attraction and give it up.

O.K. Please write to the Blog in a general sense or open an account with another name eg. Captain Peacock.

We will edit this and put it on the Blog but your identity will be eliminated.

Jaya! Hari bolo! Krsna needs lots of help!!!!

Dear Guru Maharaj, please accept my obeisances

Thank you very much for all your inspiration in devotional life. and thanks a lot for tha japa joe program

i work as a teacher of economics and projects in a univertity and is good to see many students to feel more atracted to vegetarian/vegan diet and spirituality.

i want to ask permission about take siksa from Sajjan Swami, he will be with us in about two months. and we want to plan some university programs.

rounds are ok, gayatris are ok, home deity service is ok, principles are ok.

last year i realized life its a battle, no matter if you are wound or you have scars you must go on fighting, under the shelter of God.

tryng to be your servant

om kesavaya dasa

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Sorry to answer so late. You can see that we have too much work. This Blog needs higher priority. We will do that.

Siksa from non-ISKCON Sannyasi.  Ho! Ho! Ho!        In general, we apply NOI texts 4, 5, 6 and that gives us our perspective. If it is something that is going to involve the ISKCON Institution, then we need to work with the Institution authorities. If it is personal and private then we don't need to involve them unecessarily. Of couse, the Institution authorities should be our friends in the first place and we will be talking with them about things in terms of our personal relations naturally.

For example, husband wife may talk about personal family affairs with little Temple President involvement, but if wife's brother is President then he is involved personally maybe.

Thank you for the news. Our respects to Maharaja.

AGTSP!  Paoho & BW.  

Yesterday, after a lot of,

. . . . lot of,

. . . . . . . .lot of work we bought the tickets for our ASA travel to South America. We tried to factor in all the factors and give as much service to everyone as we can. The whole trip this time is 6-weeks.

We fly from Nashville, Tennesee to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on the morning of December 31st and have a six hour wait there. Then we take the Jet Blue flight that arrives in Lima that night, December 31st.

Then a week later, January 7th we go to Buenos Aires.

Two weeks later, 21st January, we have a flight from BsAs to Santiago. During the two weeks in BsAs we might be able to make visits to BsAs, Balarama-Puri, Cordoba-Rathayatra, Paraguay, Uruguay and Mar de Plata. Of course, it seems that if try to visit everything then we would waste most of our time sitting on the airplanes etc.
Gotta understand that our donkey is older now, and now is more the time for the younger donkeys to visit us and us to sit one place and mostly do writing. 
In ten years more we will probably be gone from this world completely. Oink! Oink!
Please put us to good use! Understand what our service is. Our preaching expertise.
Ambarish, Param-padam, Nikunja, Jaga-jivana Prabhu, devotees from Uruguay (????) have been in some contact about nice programs.

21st January to 4th February in Chile. Rodrigo has been writing to us about preaching there. Not much from anybody else.

4 Feb - 11 Feb back in Lima. Abhi, Laksmana, Mathuresa Das have been in some contact about programs there.

General suggestion is to arrange programs where people buy tickets for the events in advance so that they are serious, and have good results planned for the programs.
We are mostly focusing on Education in ISKCON and one suggestion is to have a long week-end continental conference in Chile. Of course, our own personal intense interest is Carl Jung and the Bhagavata.

O.K. Let's hear some grunts, hoots and howls from the Monkey Warriors of Rama.

all glories to you

Were in living huerta grande, cordoba and We are sharering service and organising programs with devotees in here and these devotees  are in charge of The organisation of the ratha yatra. all wants to invite you and to the ratha yatra of the 11 of january of 2015 in carlos paz, cordoba. it s a turist city with a big lake . Also the mayor of the city have a good relation with a devotee from that city. Dhanvantari maharaja confim that he will participate.

in case that you accept the invitation i think an idea for the itinerary. If you arrive to argentina the 3 of january you can stay like 2 day in buenos aires and then flight to cordoba and go to balaram puri ( we are in contact with param padam) and the 11 ratha yatra in carlos paz( cordoba) and the 12 go to the airport and flight to buenos aires and then mar del plata.
What do you think?

where you will stay in your vyasapuja celebration?

thank you for love, tolerance , inspiration and guidence

your servant  ambarisa das

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!   paoho.... Aaaaa! We want to visit Mexico for Vyasa puja, but it will kill Brother Ass so maybe better we go there in June.
Trying again and again for the best ticket to BsAs, Chile, Lima and the last effort, 10-minutes ago was $2000. Oooof! But that may be the cheapest. Many factors. If we don't buy it as a complete package then we can't check our luggage all the way and only get 1/2 the luggage.
11 January in Cordoba, but intense pull to visit Paraguay and Uraguay!
Hare Krsna. We make decision soon!
 

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

Last week we had the good fortune of receiving your TPP composition book in the mail. Thank you very, very much for sending this precious gift. We find it a wonderful look inside the mind of Hanumatpresaka Swami, with the many pearls of wisdom that you share with us disciples written down in a jolly package. It is a priceless gift, and i offer you my gratitude.

This is the score of my bookdistribution last july, for your and Srila Prabhupada's pleasure:  1 maha, 10 big, 8 medium, 3 small.
    HpS - ASA - Did you keep contact with any of the people. Is super report!!

Then i wish to inquire on your thoughts on the following. I wish to publish an updated version of On Chanting Hare Krishna, in Dutch languat. It is my intention to gather donations from local devotees, and make this a free publication, not one to throw away after reading, but softbound and 30+ pages. So it will be slightly different than bigger than the original, with articles about: SP, Mahamantra, ISKCON, who is Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, kirtan yoga, what ISKCON can offer als alternative lifestyle, and finally, the synthesis between science and religion. There is a request to Kadamba Kanana Swami, born in Holland, to write a foreword. If you consider yourself a good person to write an article about the synthesis between science and religion, would you want to do that? It does not have to be very extensive, an introduction will do. Or if you have any suggestions, i will be pleased to hear them. I gather your focus is more on education these days, which personally i consider more of an internal ISKCON affair. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
HpS - I think all the material would be copyrighted by the BBT, no? You would have to do it under licence to them, no? I think someone like Aja-govinda Das or another of the devotees with PhD in science should write about the scientific basis of chanting. We could talk with them by phone etc.

Now you American tour has started, i wish you happy travels. May you touch the hearts and minds of many devotees, and that it will be reciprocal.

With kind regards,
Your junior disciple,
Raghava Pandita dasa.
