Dandvats to Nrsnghdev and Prahalad Maharaj
AGTSP
Hare Krsna Maharaj, Hello TB,UG and BW.
1. how is your writing going ? have you prepared list of topics you want to write?

              asa - agtsp.......   thank you.    we are focusing on carl jung and sankhya.  we have read the tavistock lectures.  now we are waiting for his biography to arrive.

2. This is regarding lect from Hawaii Classes... There you mentioned, you yourself are Brahmana,Brahmana, Brahamana and Sudra... In you Bhvai classes you told that its possible that mind and sense are in mode of goodness, and intelligence can be in mode of ignorance, example mayavadi..... So when we say a person is Brahmana... are we refering to his intelligence or (mind and senses) ?

          asa - when he is generally brahmana.  we say he is ksatriya but he may be a general, captain, sargeant or private.  he is ksatriya.      parasurama was a martiallly spirited brahmana.  O.K?

3. we would try to improve our writing skills, punctuation etc. but we need to have knowledge how to improve it.

regards,
harsh

          asa - you can improve by looking at BBT books in English with attention!

todas las glorias a srila prabhupada !!!!

todas las glorias a sri maha gaura nitay!!

Llegamos a Campina Grade a la casa del bhakti sastri de maharaja Dhamvantari despues de 3 dias de viaje y 10 rathayatras!! hay mucho progreso en nuestro corazon y fuera tambien... hay mas bondad.. comprencion... tambien estamos comprendiendo como funcionan las modalidades segun la vision de KRSNA en el Bhagavad gita... es lento pero profundo.... el oceano de kaliyuga nos arrastra como olas sin misericordia pero las 16 rondas y los 4 principios nos mantine en direccion y magalaratik nos da un vislumbre del reflejo de la bondad pura ....  le queremos preguntar la opcion de tomar iniciacion despues del seminario asi el entuciasmo se incrementa y si Maharaja Dhamvantari puede hacer la ceremonia en su nombre (El acepto)????

                  HpS - Si.  TlgaSP.   Senor Syama kunda Das.   We are just little robots of Prabhupada, GBC, devotees.   It is very great honor that we have had your association for so many years, but...  why not accept us as siksa guru and take diksa from some one who you know and will be with more often???

...pues estamos bastante lejos de peru y chile  ... luego en febrero bamos a india y queremos permanecer un año y para eso queremos colectar aqui en brasil ( hay buena oportunidad de colecta con nuestro arte)....((((((( (pueda ser la opcion de que usted pueda venir a brasil?????)))))))

mis humildes reverencias 

su eterno sirviente syama kunda das bhakta tortuga

                     hps - now we are staying in tennessee so we can write!   we will see you soon.   very best of luck moving toward diksa from prabhupada.

Maharaj I am writing to thank you for japa program which helps me every day.

 also take this opportunity to thank all the devotees who participate in it.

    This program helps me to combat the onslaught of the ravenous senses.

              the chanting of japa is very nice with your association.

        Krsna's mercy. every day the process is a bit more clear.

today I'm listening to bhajans sung by Srila Prabhupada.   Amar Jivan, Hari Hari Biphale janama, Anadi Karama phale are gems. from bg 4.34 cannot argue with the spiritual master. I think that's all.  thank you very much Maharaj.  please forgive all my offenses your fallen servant George.

         hps - asa - agtsp.....   paoho.....   maya tatam idam sarvam....  bg 7.? ....  cited 'noi' 3 to show that enthusiasm means to use everything in krsna's service, by the instruction of the spiritual master.       george is a plenary potentate of the regent of spain, maybe, so we soon expect the king of spain to be joinning 'japa-joe' daily.  the reverse is true.  it is george's participation that has done much to keep us all together from 1.30-2.30am daily.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva:

AGTSP 

PAOHO 

Hope this meets U in good health ¡¡

Gurudeva today I was chating with a girl and she told me that she feels that being a nun is for looser girls, for girls who did not find anyone so they do not have anything left ...And just join religion a temple or church in order to avoid the loneliness ¡¡¡ Plus she told me that she did not believe in celibacy buuu

I was shocked about her replies I wanted to reply that serve God is a higher taste but she desconnected .. please can U help me with this topic .. She was really convinced of everything she was saying moreover she was kind of trying to say that being "modern" is good 

I am afraid she may influenced some young ladies ¡¡¡¡
Thank U all so much.
Looking forward for your response

HpS - ASA -  Jaya.  AGTSP.  Yes, we are a mostly recovered health. Two days could barely stand-up and just little water and juice, but inside happy.  Then few days to full strength. Then, Dr. Desai caught the same virus..  Ha!   Ha!    Ha!!!

         "Looser girls":  BG 7.21 talks about this so nicely.

C:\Users\swami-hp\Documents\ABC\VedaBase\bg\7\21.htm

Princess Yum Yum is so convinced that she is right because she is really poisoned with evil and ugly greed at the heart. So she won't give it up, so, 7.21, Krsna gives her faith in modern science and a science based life, catching a husband with a big science education etc.

But it is a trip that leads to the test-tubes, and chemical waste at the end, and there is nothing but pina coladas and cigarettes at 55 years old.

Temple is for losers: Yes, two kinds approach Krsna, but they are winners because they approached Krsna not lady's magazines to solve their problem. It is also for smart girls who are curious about religion, its the most interesting idea, and finally the highest class girls, those who know the happiness that the greatest women saints tasted, making God happy. Santa Rosa of Lima, Joan of Arc, Draupadi, Kunti.

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.
