Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaja, Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you are healthy, Maharaja.

I write to ask for some clarification on what you wrote in your annual report.

What did you mean when you wrote "you are on your own" referring to your grihastha disciples? You seem to be talking about illicit sex within marriage but as I understood, sex within marriage is not illicit.

Of course I have also heard that it should be regulated to once a month for the sole purpose of begetting children. I totally agree with this standard which Prabhupada gave.

However, the senior devotees whom my husband and I have taken counseling from have said different things. These devotees are GVT members and temple congregation devotees. And one GVT seminar we attended made the point that Prabhupada gave us the topmost principle to aspire for. My husband and I are definitely aspiring to follow that principle. So basically what I want to know is if I am is still considered a disciple of yours or not at all?

I truly think that Krishna sent you as my guru to guide me back to Him.

Of course I am willing to accept consequences due to my actions whether they are happyful or painful. Your aspiring servant, Rasa-mandali devi dasi

                      HpS - Jaya! AGTSP paoho. Very good question. This is a very argued point. For my own readings it has always been a very clear point. Sexual relations are normal, licit only when they are between a religiously married couple during wifes time of conception to get SUPER KIDS for Krsna.

Once effort a month.

The GBC even published a direct statement about this a few years ago. If anyone is presenting anything else and claiming ISKCON authority then please let us know. We should clatify these things.

All of these austerities are possible and natural.

Yes, we may deviate by accident, but we should want to correct ourselves quickly.

Maybe Prabhupada is strong enough to hang on to the rope when disciples are engaged in heavy Karma but we are not. I know Gurus who have fallen down trying to be Prabhupada in this sense, but we are glad to be Vartmana pradarshika Gurus again and help such disciples get back on the path and again be our regularly initiated disciples in the Parampara.

Is clear???  Certainly this is happy life. There is so much more to human marriage than that which is available to the hogs and dogs.  Let's get it!

Hare Krsna AGTSP, PAMHO

Querido Gurudeva, espero que empiece bien su gira latinoamericana!!! Le oro al Señor Nrsimhadeva para que lo proteja en sus viajes. Esta pregunta no entro en el reporte anual.

PREGUNTA. estilo de vida del bramacari en Iskcon.

1. Veo a bcaris sinior de 35 a 40 años de edad, que por distintas razones, (la edad, la enfermedad, practican raganuga bhakti o por que sus cuerpos ya están cansados) no participan en los programas de templo como mangala arati o gaura arati , o no hacen ciertos servicios fisicos del templo y se les dan ciertas facilidades o tratos especiales.

Entonces me pregunto, ¿cual es el destino del Bcari en Iskcon después de los 35 o 40 años?¿Que actitud o deberes debe tomar para seguir siendo útil en el movimiento y respetado en su situacion?¿Hay un tiempo y lugar especifico para retirarse de los programas establecidos por Prabhupada como mangala arti o gaura arti? Hay un plan para ellos?

Cumpli 27 años, y aunque no se cuanto tiempo mas estare en el bcari asrama, me pregunto ¿cual seria mi destino si continuo como bcari de Iskcon?

Gracias Gurudeva por darme su trascendental ascosiacion en el Ratha Yatra en Nashville. Estare eternamente endeudado con Usted. 

Su insignificante Siervo, Etasa Krsna Das.

HPS - Muchas gracias su pregunta. TLGASP [[pfanrh]]. Pienso es algo muy individual. Cada b'cari o Sannyasi es diferente, y cad Templo, comunidad es diferente. En India posible poco mas unidad pero entre difrerentes templos y yarras tambien variedad.

India conoce mas como realcionar con VAD entonces de una manera es natural pasar dias mas madura en India. Pero, otra vez, especificamente en el occidente es algo nuevo e estamos pioneros. 

Vd. tiene que desarrollar su relacion con unos B'caris quienes tiene la misma naturaleza como Vd. y desarrolla el modo de servicio juntos.

mataji was here and left us this book, i liked it a lot.

it can be purchased online in the ISKCON congregational development site.

it is only in english though.

at  your lotus feet.

Bhakta Nicasio.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP

PAMHO

Well, I just wanted to inform U that someone, I do not know if it is a man or a woman, is harassing me on facebook he/she is posting nonesense about me, like I drink alcohol or I do not dress properly.. <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> That made me laughed yesterday.

However I have like two doubts:

1.- There is a lot of activities that we can engage in like reading, chanting, etc and this person created an account on face just to harassed devotees because it is not only me and this person uses  a photo of a devotee who is a young girl. why people do that??

            ASA - AGTSP. paoho.  Could be many reasons, no? Could be that they are really lonely, afraid, scared and don't know how to have positive relations. They are afraid to make friends so they try to get attention, make enemies. We just chant HK / HR and see if we can help them, Krsna, everybody acheive their proper goals!

2.- It is kind of suspicious that this started just a few  days before ur arrival. Someone does not want me around??

                     ASA - Maybe??  Doesn't seems so. Really seems to just be crazy.

jajajaja it is funny. I am going to take advantange of the association of such a pure devotee of Sri Krsna and Prabhupada the much as I can. This is my right. " Los patos que estan mas cerca obtienen mas pan" I just wanted that U help me to understand why these kind of things happen??

I am telling U this because it seems that someone likes me so much, maybe they wanted to bother U, talking about me. One thing I can be proud of is that U know EVERYTHING about me so I do not have fear about anything at all. I just want to inform U, am I that important???

Thank U all so much for iur support

THis year for me was for A LOT of purification 

Krsna really loves me

Thank U again

Trying to be sincere and ur disciple always

Candramukhi dd

                  HpS - ASA --- Yes, we, who have Sahajiya tendencies, try to take all this stuff toooo lightly. Maybe is best to devote a little effort to keep things clear. Thank you for informing us about this mis-information,or otherwise people might thing that Candramukhi has become a transvestite alcoholic punk Rtvik priestess, and try to help you!!!
