Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP 

PAMHO

Hope this meets U in really good health ¡¡¡

Gurudeva I was requested to write this email to U from Yamunesvara das (President - wilson) and Rohini kumar das (Head pujari - wilson)

The situation is this: We do not have pujaris to do all the turns. Even if we have invented all the devotees in general and even if U do not need second initiation to worship them still we have lack of pujaris.

There is one mataji M Damodara (she talked with U several times in schel once she cried because the authorities did not allow her to do pujari in ISKCON due to she is an initiated devotee from ISEV) the thing is that she told Yamunesvara Prabhu that she took shelter from U as her SIksa Guru (she says that she has a document ) umm I do not know what is this document about but the thing is that P Yamunesvara told me that due to we do not have enough pujaris and the mataji always have the desire to serve The Lordships can she enter to the altar??? because she has iur shelter as SIksa Guru they say that for that she may enter to the altar, and if she can Rohini kumar was wondering which picture she may use in order to do the ceremonies ¡¡ Umm I thought the Murti from Srila Prabhupada is enough ¡¡

I write to U here in public no private because I do not want to be the cause of misunderstandings, and plus she is taking your name (as siksa guru), and I do not want that people start to commit offenses unto U ¡¡

Then I also thought that your answer is going to be useful for all of us, whenever a same case appears.

Also I know that mataji for several years and she has this desire and love to serve the Lordships for so long, she is a nice person , and I want to help my temple too. 

But for me your instructions, and opinions are the most important thing, and we are goint to follow them as iur a bonafide representative of our Guruparampara 

So sorry to bother U

Thanks in advance

HpS - ASA --  AGTSP!!!!..a.a.a.!!!      Yes, I remember Damodara Dasi. I hope she is well. She is very nice person.  In many ways this is also a question for GBC et al. Of course, Brahmana's should make some advice based upon scripture, but in these institutional standards there has so be a GBC statement.

As far as I know it is a GBC rule that only devotees who have Brahminical initiation in ISKCON can do service on ISKCON altars that require second initiation, but, Head Pujari in Vrndavana, Mukunda Das (?) was initiated by Naranyana Maharaja long ago. Everyone has adjusted this very well and we have NEVER heard any complaints.

May be very nice Catholic priest but he would not expect to do service on our altars and we not on his.

Does ISEV let ISKCON brahmanas do service for their installed deities?

When I last talked with Paramadvaiti Swami he had a very different standard for 1st initiation than we have taken from Srila Prabhupada, so I don't know what is his standard for 2nd inititation.

So, it must be a GBC authorized decision, local administration authorized, and generally speaking should be devotees initiated by the same Acharya.  Maybe ISKCON wants to make a reciprocal agreement with some Gaudiya-math, ISEV, groups. Maybe there are special cases like Mukunda Das.
It would require the Junta de Wilson to understand very personally Damodara Dasi's consciousness and then make a decision on the individual case. We can't say from this distance.

a nice read for all readers

Espero que usted se encuentre muy bien. Nosotros muy felices de saber que usted vendra a celebrar el Vyasa Puja aqui. Gracias.

En las reuniones con los hermanos Latinoamericanos surgio la idea de formar un grupo de devotos con conocimientos de ingles y español para realizar las traducciones y correciones necesarias.

Actualmente el grupo esta conformado por: Madhavendra Puri, Rati Manjari, Ambarisa m, Sarad Bihari, Sananda, Yasodanandana y yo (Vrsabhanu nandini dd) que solo actuo como coordinadora del grupo.

Quienes esten interesados en colaborar en este servicio pueden escribir a: [email protected].

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

Please accept my humble obeisance’s, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

From July in San Jose:

Submitting a combined correspondence here, originating from Ekadasi day , reflecting on the past week-end in your association and occasional blurbs from current insanity.

Your discourses and class responses have triggered a lot of personal epiphanies and I must confess this is not unusual in your company… must be something in the stratosphere.

The aspect of professional maturity struck a nerve. In devotee relationships towards many professional there are sometimes disassociated attitudes, such as in “Karmie” labels, etcetera, this does not fulfill the maturity that Srila Prabhupada kept in his business dealings. A good example of professional relations and preaching would be his grace Vaisesika Prabhu, excellent dovetailing.

Science and spontaneity was an advanced and personal touch on the empirical concepts. You actually infused the joys of science and discovery that is included in research. Plus elaborating on personal positions of scientists like Newton with their ages in career, their individual perspectives and lives…putting the human back into the nature of mental prowess, something that many scientists forget.

Sevaholic’s like me need to let go and let Krsna guide more appropriate service, opposed to my selfish motives, like “I want to do this, not that.” Though now I’ve started a project…have to finish, glad it is for Rathayatra. Will keep you posted.

From October at home:

Hare Bolo!

Just finished your latest Kapi-Dhvaja and did note its brevity, obviously it was for good reasons, Seva-Prema.

My staggered correspondence here may not be for a “good reason" but I'll work with I got...a "passionate reason",the show must go on, as they say, Duty before dishonor, etcetera.

Glad to hear from you and glad the Tennessee Rathayatra was a success. Please try to keep moderation in service Maharaja, need more quality than quantity as time carry’s us further, guess a case of potency invoked x108, difficult to preach if Brother Ass is down.

Briefly mentioned my left arm damage (happened at work), and the Doc said R & R. Seems that the extensor carpi radiallis longus (the top muscle of the upper forearm)  is upset with my overt labor and has been strained, who can blame it…over 5 decades of use…so we rest (and type carefully).

While recuperating I went to our High School’s 40^th Anniversary Saturday night, was interesting. Many haven’t changed, just aged, including me.  I was cautious, limited association and then distributed about a hundred “M a g i c” prasad cookies and Five books, then ran outta’ there. Promptly exiting stage left through the side-door I was almost free… then three Ol’ ladies (who I went to elementary school with) blocked the sidewalk, surrounded me and offered Marijuana, hugs and praise of my physical appearance. Was the scariest part of the evening, so quickly I whipped out a couple of “Beyond Birth and Death” books and said, “ Here’s something to really hold-on to”. They took the books and I left em’ smilin’. Mission accomplished, whew…that was close!

Looking forward to the Texas tour in November, we are booked, now to get venues dialed in; majority of the tour will be in procuring mass quantities of prasadam and distribution thereof. Appreciate all your input on this matter for this is all new territory for us and potential service could be expanded. Fortunately, the Sri Krsna won’t give us more than we can handle, now to be careful not to get greedy and ruin everything...me and my inflated ego.

Speaking of ego enclosed pics of my latest art-work. Some business cards for undercover preaching, so far so good. Haven’t started a new cult or anything but am getting a positive response from the homeless prasadam recipients. May take more time…

All Glories to your service, thank you for your most valuable time!

Your servant in training,

ccd

                HpS - ASA - Jaya.... AGTSP....  paoho.....  Very nice cards!!!   We made it to Texas, Houston, but just for the night.   Did the Subhra DD go with you to the reunion?

We sure hope your kirtan in modesto expands!!   That's enough: Kirtan, lecture, kirtan, prasadam!!!!   We really try to take care of our buddy [body] but we get bored being our own beloved then we try to have rasa through sense gratification.       .......... ...  Gauranga.  O.K.  next letter from you!

PAMHO

Thank U very much for sharing your calendar with us ¡¡

As U know we want to make this trip to India so long long time ago ¡¡ And we guess that the  time now is perfect for us.. We can travel to India from February 1^st until March 1^st in order not to interfere with our classes.

So as U know we as single ladies need protection so it is compulsory that we travel in group to India . We are looking for a nice group to travel ..so far just Madhava priya dd has expressed her desire to go Jambavan das is in doubt so please give us your blessings in order to make a nice group in order to travel with U.

Thank U for all your support

Trying to be your disciple

HpS - AGTSP.  paoho.  Go to Vrndavan, go to Mayapura. Big austerity but really, really, really valuable if Krsna wants! How can people contact you if they want to go???  We will be there from 9th February - 1st March. You have nice Godbrothers/sisters there who will be very happy to help. Many Spanish speaking!
