HpS - Jaya! AGTSP. Paoho. Very nice report. We heard that Mother Yugala was traveling on Sankirtan and could not attend and Mother Rohini wants more to do simple administrative work, the testing for Bhakti-sastri.

We answered the Letter to Tutors from LAD.

Seems like NIMSAR is going in the right direction, of course many problems, so we all have to take care of our own spiritual life, sankirtan, individually as well.

1) We are in Jaya-pataka Swami's Zone and he is looking forward to a lot of help in education from us. Ekanatha gaura Das is our link to him. We will meet with Rama-giri-dhari Das in Texas in two days, so we can discuss this, he is Executive Director of Ministry of  Education (MOE) and work on Regional Representative for South America for MOE etc.

2) You are collecting money? In whose name, ASA? What happens to this money? What is the exact detailed agreement? This should be publicly available for comment.

Thank you so much!

"Bg 18.70 — And I declare that he who studies this sacred conversation of ours worships Me by his intelligence."

AGTSP
Paoho and best wishes.

Esteemed ABC-XYZ Das we have been receiving anxious letters from your good wife about your keeping company with another woman. Of course, the basic principle is to keep our sexual relations simple, Krsna conscious. We only relate to the opposite sex for Krsna's service.

"Kandarpa is the sex desire for presenting good sons; therefore Kandarpa is the representative of Kṛṣṇa. Sometimes sex is engaged in only for sense gratification; such sex does not represent Kṛṣṇa. But sex for the generation of good children is called Kandarpa and represents Kṛṣṇa."

What's happening? ?

We don't see any Annual Report from your good self. Are you fixed in your Japa and the four principles? What can we do for you? Do you want us to act as Diksa or Siksa guru for you?

For us as a Sannyasi of course we cannot go into great details but we can give great general advice, direct you to where to get detailed advice. These discussions should be pubished in a general sense on the Blog.

We are not going Back to Godhead if we don't solve these problems, become members of a sane Vaisnava society. Instead we will become animals again like so many people who have had a chance to engage in religious life, even be Indra or Candra but failed.

I am surely fighting with this and the best thing seems to help each other as our strength permits.

Querido Gurudeva:
Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Espero se encuentre bien cuando reciba este mensaje.

Le escribo esta carta para pedirle su ayuda y consejo. Después de las cosas tan desagradables que han sucedido y siguen sucediendo en el Templo de Madrid me surgen muchas dudas. Estoy un poco confundida después de sentir que todo este cambio ha sido forzado sin seguir los principios básicos de las relaciones entre vaisnavas con engaños, traiciones, ocultismo, etc. 
Algunos devotos han elaborado un plan master sectario evitando informar al consejo rector (al que incluso uno de ellos pertenecía) e ignorando también a otros miembros activos de la congregación que no pensamos como ellos para conseguir algo (el control del Templo) que podrían haber conseguido simplemente presentándolo bien y honestamente al consejo rector.
Con todo esto me surgen unas dudas acerca de cómo actuar a partir de ahora. ¿Debo olvidarlo todo de forma artificial y actuar como si no hubiera pasado nada o debo explicarles, con educación, lo que pienso y siento? ¿Qué es lo correcto? ¿Qué es lo que complace a Krsna?¿Cómo puedo continuar mi relación con ellos sin fracturas?  

Sé que, por mi inmadurez y mi gran ego falso, me he identificado con el Templo y sus devotos y todo esto me ha resultado y me sigue resultando muy desagradable. Por ello, le pido con humildad su misericordia y que me resuelva las dudas y me dé consejos para superar esta "prueba" y seguir avanzando bajo su guía.
Su aspirante a humilde sirvienta,
Purnamasi devi dasi

               HpS - ASA - AGTSP.   paoho. When Krsna was personally present in Vrndavan demons came and caused so much disturbance that the girls had miscarriages.

Madrid temple is not Vrndavan.

Krsna is not personally present.

Things aren't so bad that we hear of miscarriages.

So, we expect there to be problems. This is the material world. If we stay in proper consciousness we can see Krsna is adjusting everything for His purpose. He let Draupadi be attacked.

First thing is to adjust your participation in the situation before trying to understand anyone else. Then try to understand devotees from NOI 5. On that basis, with a few clear relations you can be involved in Plans, admnistration, work in the Temple.

Don't give up on Srila Prabhupada or his Temple but understand how to relate to it properly.

We hear from Yadu Swami and some others, and the mess in Madrid is not much worse or better than so many places in the world, ISKCON. Karmis are nice, sometimes because they get what they want. Other times they are terrible.

Canto Seven describes fights between cousins who will become King of heaven etc.

Letter to the Eiditor

"

hare krsna maharaj,
pamho, agtsp,
two days back we went to meetABC Prabhu and his wife DEF

some strange facts ame up for us.
our wife and kid also went, there.

though they are nice couple, but i dont know/think if they can work as Asrama guru.

lots of practicall issues have plagued our life completely..
untimely prasadam,  diety worship standards, incomplete rounds, illicit sex etc.

moreover our own lack of Krsna consciousncess, and ability to connect to Krsna. esp in tough times has create lots of problem.
it seems there is lot of self-pity we have on us.

in todays arugement our wife asked/commented

ISK is creating Brahamans, not house holder vaisnavas. one must know house holder skill himself and not depend on ISK, then he can learn vaisnavism.

majority householders dont/cant teach me.
 

this fact is amplified by seeing lot of remarriages, single ladies and single men in ISK esp..

and we dont have answer where should we goto to learn householder skills. everywhere we have went with our wife we have met failure. 
 
..and esp dovetailing householder asrama.

we are heavily stressed in understanding priorities of houseolder life in general and in emergency.

we think we should not get intiated, we like to take back our formal candidate application.

regards,
XYZ

hope we would have been celibate or would have known basic house holder skills... and would served you.."

HpS - ASA - Bachelor, Married, These are secondary. First thing is Chant Hare Krsna, Holy Names as directed by an Acharya like Lord Caitanya, Christ or Mohammad. The follow the four principles as the suggest. Then you will be happy and otherwise will suffer for every.

Ask your Christian scholar what the Bible says about sex in marriage, all the quotes, not just the ones he wants to give and let us all know.

           ASA - AGTSP paoho.  Thank you for the link!  We are in the packing mode for India so we could just look at the first part and then when we tried to jump ahead it wouldn't run. Hare Krsna. It is Radha-Ramana's festival, no?

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka,

please accept my humble obeisances, All  Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Have made a poem offering, inspired by your request. Have no real experience in poem writing, so please excuse my crudeness. Was fun to do, but took some polish to get it at least tolerable.

Wiil keep in contact as time permits, we have so much to do before Houston and we even pushed the move date to the 1st of June. Though Subhra will be there in March and April for meetings. We cna get more specifics if you like.

All glories to your service,

your servant in training,

Land of Holy Basil, blooming in bliss

may we receive your gentle kiss?

Strife and turmoil in this life of no trust

 we hold your sacred soil,  praying to roll in the dust.

Land of Holy Basil, sweet flowers and subtle perfume,

may we blossom and swoon with you ?

Forever and more, seems we’ve been in a bad dream,

release us from this spinning scene; bring us to your fields of green.

                     Land of Holy Basil, with rivers, hills, trees and cows,                         

may we sing to the Maidens who tend the dairy now?

We suffer in a realm so stagnant and stale,

  please dear Maidens share us the nectar from your pail.

Land of Holy Basil, there are sounds of a flute so clear,

may we ask, is it the Boy of Blue … filling our ears?

His song enraptures, captured, we’re now His prize,

 Oh Land of Holy Basil, now we smile with tears in our eyes.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya! ! ! !   AgtSP. Very nice. A moments vacation to Vrndavana Dhama. We certainly hope to hear more, more.
