Letters to the editor

Hare Krisna Gurudev. Please accept my humble obeisance. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you're fine since last time you reply my letter.

                 HpS - AGTSP......  IN the DTC we explain that.  BAD    virus last three days.

In your last reply, you ask me about Krisna's book. I'm reading Srmad Bhagavatam in the morning after Mangal Aratik with my wife Carcika dd. I'm reading Caitanya Caritamrta and others small books as karma, etc during the day, daily. I'm preparing Bhakti-Yoga Introductory Course in Power Point to teach it in The Spanish Bhaktivedanta Institute too.

About of the latter, i have a question for you about how many joyanas are 1 kilometer.

Srmad Bhagavatam 5.23.9 say in the purport:

"The Vaikuṇṭha planets begin 26,200,000 yojanas(209,600,000 miles) above Satyaloka" Then 1 Yojana = 8 miles = 12,88 kilometers.

"Thus the Viṣṇu Purāṇa describes that the covering of the universe is 260,000,000 yojanas (2,080,000,000 miles) away from the sun" Then 1 Yojana = 8 miles =12,88 kilometers.

"The distance from the sun to the earth is 100,000 yojanas" Then the distance is 8.000.000 miles = 10.304.000 kilometers.

I've been looking for distance between the Sun and earth and i've found that's 149.600.000 kilometers =  11.614.906,83 miles.

Sorry if my question is speculative, but i'm trying put in place of a speculative student and i'm trying have any answers for him/her.

Thank you for all, Gurudev. 

I'm at your service.

Your servant Dandava das.

             HpS - Is big topic.  If  you look on Wikipedia it has a discussion of yojana. It seems to be a multiple of the width of a finger. Whose finger? Indra's finger? M. Pariksit's finger at the end of Dvapara yuga?   Then are yojanas they same on brahma loka as they are on the earth. Next it does not seem to be talking about the distance from the earth planet that we know to the sun, but is talking about the distance above "bhu-mandala" that the Sun keeps.  All the planets go around the earth in orbits that fall within a few degrees of inclination.  The distances in the Bhagavatam seem to developed from that perspective. Sadaputa Das explains this in detail in his books on Sacred Geometry and Structure of the Universe.   Which takes longer, to go by public transportation from NVM to Madrid airport or Madrid Airport to Barcelona?  Which is farther?                   Seems yogis could go out on sunbeams pretty easy but jumping UP to the loka ... ~planet.    Was the challenge.  So distance are calculated from that perspective. 

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Guru Dev, when you are going to finish you book on Sankya. we are waiting.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

            HpS - I don't know.  We are just researching Carl Jung as a pillar in the West to whom we can tie our bridge to connect West to East.

this movie dangerous method.--- A Dangerous Method describes the turbulent relationships between Carl Jung, founder of analytical psychology, Sigmund Freud, founder of the discipline of psychoanalysis, and Sabina Spielrein, initially a patient of Jung and later a physician and one of the first female psychoanalysts.

                    HpS - AGTSP....   We looked at the wikpedia info, the plot, etc and that seems to be enough. The movie sound to shocking and too slow to even get close too! Thank you. This helps us a lot with out understanding of Jung.

Abhirama Th. Das et al

Por favor acepta nuestras reverencias humildes.  Ya estamos segunda dia en nuestra base en Tennessee.  Llegando Martes a casa de Tandavika Das en Franklin y Viernes, despues de organizar cosas un poco, vamos a nuestra Oficina, Ashrama, de NIOS/ASA en Murfreesboro con Nitai-gaurasundara Das y su hijo Abhiseka. Alla el internet va a funcionar despues de la proxima Miercoles y vamos a ver si es comodo para trabajar. Ya son 100 grados cada dia aqui. De esta manera puede ver que hace tiempo para hacer que cosas funciona, pero aun ya es mejor que viajando.

Honestamente yo y Tandavika Das ambos pensamos ir a Sud America en Octubre va a ser deficil, pero posible. Depende en lo que pasa.  Tenemos que enfocar en entender que quiere Krsna de nosotros escribir.

Tenemos ideas.

Ya tenemos esta show de power point.

http://www.jayarama.us/archives/japa-joe.pptx

Es buen parte de lo que esperamos hacer.

1. Diagolo con Donald Campbell: Esta pptx citado encima. (El Contenido tengo que cambia)

2. Comenzando un diagolo con Carl Jung, comenzando re-leer su Tavistock Lectures.

3. Llegando a un punto donde vale imprimir un libro en Ingles y Espanol, entonces vale viajar despues de hay un reaccion al libro.  Jaya

Hare Krisna Maharaj:

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada,le presento mis mas humildes y respetuosas Reverencias:

Im Baktin Dalia, I know Krisna consiussnes since 2006 ,Im chanting 16 rounds everiday ,Im making service in the temple doing garlands and cleaning temple,now Im in the temple of Cusco my authority now is  the president of the temple p. Raghubarama,

             HpS - AGTSP   paoho.  I think we remember you.  You were working for a diploma en tourism??

I have a question: why its so dificult for me to take decisions? I use to hesitate all the time ,it makes me loose too much energy and time,I dont know if it would be better to leave in the asram or just rent a room next to the temple ,for me its very difficult to leave in the asram but I would like to help there ,my health is not goog now, I can do my normal life but a have back problems it hearts me.So what are the basics steps to take good decitios?.

          AGTSP.   1)  Chant Hare Krsna. Ask Krsna to inspire you.   2) Read Prabhupada's books and follow advise that you find there and 3) consult with even six nice devotees and then follow the advice.

Thank you very much.

B. Dalia.

All glories to SP

All glories to Snkirtana movement

I know i write to you 1 week ago, and i dont like to be a burden, but i wanted to ask you about your Book from russia with Love,

o read it and really like it, but few devotees here in México have it,

Now i got copies from mother athenea's so i spoke with Bh. Brian and Bh. Atenea to ask their help, we want to print 100 ir 200 copies (how many would you like) of your Book as a daksina for your visit so you can sankirtana with them in your temple classes,i can add the sanskrit diacritics to The words, (is there a disciple i can contact for that? Maybe The editor?) and maybe add a note explaining The AEHKMNRS because in spanish The letters change =P. Please give us your blessings for doing this service for your Snkirtana so we can speak with Aravinda Prabhu and start making arrangements.

         HpS - ASA - AGTSP.....   Always very nice to hear from a sincere Christian. 1) It is not our, HpS's, book. It is Diary of Monkey, Tom Brown. After asking him if he wants copies made he said that he wasn't so sure. Maybe if people wanted to make photo copies and share with their friends that would be O.K. but probably should get permission of some authority like Maitreya, Aravinda, Adhoksaja Das or somebody???

Also y things going pretty good here, i Love The subject of planets and all vedic cosmology knowledge; really exhausted, strudying, editing and doing practical services, but really joyfull and without time for spending on Maya =P. It's hard to retreat The tongue in front of The pizzas coming back from sankirtana in saturdays but i must hold on for The good of my japa next day.

         ASA - We save our quota in a can until the next day!

I hope some day i can start following your  footsteps and do it actually with The heart and not just with mind. Thank you very much for your guidance Your trying to servant Bh. Christian

            ASA - Estimations of our glories are rather exaggerated. We control our senses mostly because we have association of devotees and Srila Prabhupada's mercy.   NICE  picture of Sri Madan... !
