yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - Jaya. Raktaka Das. Thank you for your news. I think we read it and answered, no?

So nice to hear from you.

You are one of the roots of our life.

Dr. Samaresh Bandopadhyay is being taken to Australia by the government of India for a BIG conference at Monash university. He arrives like 18th of February and stays until 26th. Can you give him a call in Kolkatta and extend a hearty welcome from the Australian Krsna's! Maybe you can see him or get some devotees to contact him and help him with Prasada etc. He is working so, so, so very hard for NIOS.

If any expenses, M. Manjari Devi Dasi has some NIOS funds there! Give him the Royal Australian Krsna Reception on our behalf. Something he will never forget.

His home number is +1 91 33 2534 9549

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisanses to Sri Guruji's padmacharan that in Gita-13.25 " The Sankhya philosophers analyze this material world into twenty-four elements, and they place the individual soul as the twenty-fifth. When they are able to understand the nature of the individual soul to be transcendental to the material elements, they are able to understand also that above the individual soul there is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is the twenty-sixth elements". What are the twenty-four elements and how individual soul treated as the twenty-fifth elements?

    HpS - AGTSP paoho. They are the elements mentioned before: Senses, sense objects, mind... Then when we see a living being we think that there is another element besides these, the Atma. He makes the first 24-alive. The modern scientists often say that there is no Atma, only material elements.

Again how Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes twenty-sixth elements? 

HpS - He already is. It is like child sitting on lap of father pretending to drive car. Child makes some indications, "Go left, go right", but always father is there. Just for some time he is not recognized.

And at the end of this para  Some people who try to find out Supersoul by meditation, by cultivation of knowledge and by childish activities what is the interpretation of childish activities means.

HpS - Marijuana for example.
 

And Please explain the Supersoul and the individual soul are situated in the body?

HpS We are with Krsna in Goloka but we are both looking at our reflections in a pot of water, the material nature, so both the reflection of us and Krsna, Supersoul, are there if we look for it.

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Gourabhakta Vrnda Ki Jai

I am submitting my humble obeisanses to Sri Guruji’s Padmacharan the information of our Radha Govinda Mandir, Thoubal that some bhaktas are performing daily mangala aarati at 4.30 a.m. Some members were left for Tritha-Jatra, in two groups. The army base of Thoubal is expected not to shift within 2/3 years.

          As a routine I am reading Gita, Bhagavatam second canto, Chaitanya Charitamrita first canto other books such as Nectar of Instruction, Nectar of Devotion, for reference when needed.

          The main questions Guruji asked are related to Canto no. ten of Srimad Bhagavatam. Actually I want to read this chapter after completion of canto no. nine. In my knowledge, the eight principle queens of Lord Krsna are as under : 1) Rukamini 2) Jambavati 3) Satyabhama 4) Kalindi 5) Mitravinda 6) Nagnajiti 7) Bhadra and 8) Laksmana. Interestingly all the queens have different stories of their marriage but I don’t have detailed ideas.

HpS - Yes, 10th Canto after first nine, but maybe from previous life we have already gone through the first 9. Actually, CC after SB! But Prabhupada gave us the book KRSNA so that even a new devotee can relish the pastimes and power of the 10th Canto. Thank you for list of the queens.

          The Aadi Lila of Chaitanya Charitamrita is a very tough portion. Though, Krsna is the origin all in all, I have so much confusion of using different names like Nityananda (Sesa : Ananta) – Karanadaksayi Bisnu, Garbhadaksayi Bisnu, Kshirodaksayi Bisnu sometimes Hari, Narayana, Govinda, Madhusudan, Bhagavan etc. in the same place. All the spiritual names mentioned above have different places and different stories but at the same time and place why use different names instead using related names of the event. Guruji please clarify my darkness.

It is like in the government, no? His wife at home says, "Honey", in front of the children she says "Daddy", in public they say, "Mr. President". So Nityananda, Lord, when he expands or takes different functions He is known by different names, Karana Visnu, Garbho visnu, in terms of his costume and work.

Then there are Secretarys for the governement and others.

So maybe it is a little bit complicated at first but it will be repeated again and again as you read. The first Canto of CC is very logical like this, go ahead, don't worry if you don't understand everything, next time when you are 65 years old, it will be more clear, and after this the Chapters have more pastimes for instruction.

We five members are planning to come to Mayapur for Guruji’s darshan and sparsha (tough) Guruji’s-Padamacharan on the 15th Feb. 2014 and will stay 3 / 4  days. But no room reserved even now. Guruji, which date will be convenient for meeting us? Guruji please let us know before booking air tickets (to and fro).

I will be ready to leave Kolkatta on the 15th also. We could go together, no? It seems we have meetings in the morning every day, but we can go to Mangala arati, chant Japa, chat, have classes, and meet in the afternoons and evenings! We can make a movie!

We are so unfortunate that we could not see Guruji whenever we need and could not serve satisfactorily. On the other we are so poor in knowledge and money that we have no capacity to satisfy Guruji. We are praying Guruji daily in the simplest form whether it may be right or wrong. Excuse us from the mistakes we have committed. We are eagerly waiting Guruji’s  ashirbad all the time.

We are also poor and stupid that we cannot visit Manipur more often. But you have association of Hari Das Das and others!

Yours fallen servant

Pamho, Dandavats Maharaja!

Hare Krsna Maharaja, soy Bhakta pablo del Parikrama de españa, otra vez.

Espero que se encuentre muy bien en todos los aspectos, y que Krsna le de mucha fuerza y bendiones.

Perdone que le escriba otra vez tan rapido, pero queria contarle que he tenido diferencias serias con unos devotos senior del Yatra español. Segun parece, en una reunion de Sankirtaneros, he utilizado " mis poderes misticos " para que cantaran Hare Krsna en vez de distribuir libros...¿¿¿¡????, yo no lo entiendo. Lo unico que hice fue cantar Hare Krsna incesantemente, externamente e internamente....yo creo que todo ha ocurrido porque hay movimientos politicos internos y la gente no se fia de nadie.

Por todo esto yo me he sentido muy ofendido, y como consecuencia  de ello me he comportado como un loco, sin utilizar inteligencia o el corazon. Incluso me he planteado muy seriamente el irme a India un tiempo largo en vez de estudiar, pero Varuna tiene solo 6 años y faltan años para que mis responsabilidades terminen.

Lo mas importante que queria contarle, es que me he dado cuenta que todos los problemas que me he causado son producto de mi lucha interna por no rendirme a Krsna, y a Usted. Soy MUY desagradecido con Usted, lo se. Solo le causo dolores de cabeza y de corazon, y Usted solo me da misericordia y misericordia. NO SE como lo hace, yo no podria.

Hoy, gracias a Usted, los devotos y Krsna, me he dado cuenta que llevo muchos años mostrando una rendicion artificial. No he dado ni un solo paso real para rendirme a mi Maestro, Usted, y a Krsna, Dios. Le he exprimido igual que los Karmis a Madre vaca. PERDONEME SE LO RUEGO.

Quiero ser su discipulo, estoy perdido sin usted. Voy a hacer lo correcto para  presentarme como aspirante formal si los devotos me lo permiten.

Estoy arreglando la caravana e intentando ver los seminarios de Sankirtana de Vaisesika Prabhu para poder hacer Sankirtana viajero y aprender a hacerlo( soy muy malo ).

Majaraja, las 16 rondas minimo, los 4 pricipios estrictos ( bueno, comi un poco de chocolate ), programa completo de la mañana y tarde, y lectura de Caitanya-Bhagavata mañana, Sri bhajana-rahasya tarde y Krsna-book noche.

---Me gustaria decirle que siempre he hablado con los devotos de mi vida pasada sin problemas, nunca lo he ocultado, muchos lo saben todo.

---Tambien me gustaria comentarle que virginia lleva años espiando lo que escribo aqui, es malo para mi, pero pensaba que le serviria de ayuda espiritual. Ahora me he dado cuenta que no, asi que tengo que comunicarme de otra manera.

A SUS pies Maharaja.

Su TONTO tonto Bhakta pablo.

P.D;Ya le puesto una foto pequeña en el Altar en vez de grande, como Usted quiere. --- Mi sargento decia que era-soy mas bruto que un ÑU.

Hare Krsna/ Hare Rama!!!

Agt Guru and Gauranga !

Pamho , dandavats Maharaja !

Hare Krsna Maharaja, Bhakta 'm pablo Parikrama of Spain again.

I hope you are well in all aspects , and Krsna very hard and bendiones .

Sorry to write again so quickly , but I wanted to tell you that I have had serious differences with some senior devotees Yatra Spanish . It seems, at a meeting of sankirtan , I used " my mystical powers " to sing Hare Krsna instead of distributing books ... ¿? ? , I do not understand. All I did was incessantly chanting Hare Krsna , externally and internally .... I think it all happened because there are internal political movements and people do not trust anyone .

For all that I have felt very offended , and as a result I behaved like a madman, without using intelligence or the heart . I 've even raised very seriously India go a long time instead of studying , but Varuna is only 6 years old and missing years to complete my responsibilities .

The most important thing I wanted to tell you is that I 've realized that all the problems that have caused me are the product of my inner struggle not to surrender to Krsna , and You . I am very ungrateful to you , I know. It only caused headaches and heart, and you just give me mercy and mercy. NOT as it does, I could not.

Today, thanks to you, the devotees and Krsna , I have realized that I have many years showing an artificial surrender. I have not taken a single step to true surrender to my Master, You , and Krsna , God. I've squeezed like a cow Karmis Mother . Forgive me Please.

I want to be his disciple , I'm lost without you. I will do right to introduce myself as a formal candidate if devotees let me.

I 'm fixing the caravan and trying to see seminars Sankirtana Vaisesika Prabhu Sankirtana traveler to do and learn to do it.

Maharajah , the minimum 16 rounds , 4 pricipios strict (well, ate some chocolate ) , a full program of morning and afternoon reading Caitanya- Bhagavata morning bhajana- rahasya Sri Krsna -book afternoon and night .

--- I would like to say that I have always spoken to the devotees of my past life without any problems, I've never hidden , many know everything.

--- Also I would like to comment that brings years spying virginia what I write here , it's bad for me, but thought he would serve for spiritual help. Now I 've realized that no , so I have to communicate differently.

Maharaja YOUR feet .

Your silly SILLY pablo Bhakta .

PD ; Now you put a small photo on the altar rather large as you want . --- My sergeant said it was gross - I'm more than a GNU .

Krsna Hare / Hare Rama !

                    HpS - AGTSP. pfanrh. Muchas gracias su carta. Siempre siento mucho amistad con Vd. Tiene su Karma, su naturaleza. Cado uno, Virginia, Varuna, Jayanta, Yadu Swami... Cada tiene su naturaleza. Muy bien. Adelantamos. Tiene que pedir desculpas de unos si esta ofendiendo ellos. Y oir de ellos como puede adjustar cosas como todo esta bien. PERO adelante con su naturaleza. sus "poderes misticos" con la base loco de rondas, principios etc.!

<big>Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. </big>

<big>I hope you are well. Argentina sounds wonderful from here!
I would like to inquire from you for clarification. A prabhu, in whom i have faith very much, wrote an article on hellish planets. In it he wrote that out of the 200.000 people who die daily, 99% go to hell. I am seriously thinking that's way too high of a figure, and could a percentage be postulated by humans at all, but i have no arguments to substantiate this 'gut feeling'. Krishna says in gita 7.3, out of many thousands one may strife for attaining Him. It could be posed, do the other ones go to hell? </big>

<big>Could you please clarify this matter?</big>

<big>Your servant in training,
Raghava Pandita dasa.</big>

<big>           AGTSP. paoho.   I don't know. Haven't thought about this. Did the devotee have and reference? Of course, it is a fact that so many people in Kali yuga a SINFULLY engaged.</big>
