Letters to the editor

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

    Gurudev, Hope you are good in Health and doing good.

    Just to inform you that, probably, i won’t be able to go Vrndavana this Kartik, as i am
    not getting tickets.This means, i won't be able to get 2nd initiation on this Kartik.

    Sadna is going on as usual.

    Please let me know if you have any thing for me.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Why not do it by telephone in Pune? That is your Temple, no?

Hare Krisna Maharaja, i made this account to write to you. PAMHO, AGTSP

PLEASE, IT WOULD BE BETTER NOT TO PUBLISH THIS TO ALL THE PAGE. ITS CONFIDENTIAL, AT LEAST WHAT I AM WRITING,

HpS - ASA ---  Oooof!  Did you read the, http://www.jayarama.us/kd/lte.htm, page?   It explains how to post here. We are all B'caris here: Monkey, Piggy, HpS, Uncle Gismo, so we can't have intimate contact with beautiful and evil, or ugle and kind, or beautiful and kind, or ugle and evil, young and evil, or old and evil... or intimate associates of Lord Caitanya.

"There are so many rules and regulations to be followed in the renounced order of life. Most important of all, a sannyāsī is strictly forbidden to have any intimate relationship with a woman. He is even forbidden to talk with a woman in a secluded place. ", http://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/16/1-3

I have no particular thought that any ladies have evil plans, but I have so much observation that things always degraded subtly then grossly if there is private contact between men and women. Is true for the ladies also. So, we won't read any more of the letter from here on.  Best thing is to just rethink the letter: 1) This Sannyasis is a fanatic, O.K. We all have our idiosyncrasies. I have mine, and then send the letter again in a general sense for general answers first, and/or adopt a Secret Name eg. Princess Flower Bell of ISKCON etc. Then if need more private discussion we can arrange it here with nice chaperone.

O.K????????????????????

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I have a question in connection to what you wrote in last KD.

From last KD :"For us is just as important eliminating programs that are not working as developing plans that are working."

~~~

How to discern what is working (what programs, projects) and what not? For example, a Sunday program at the temple (aka Sunday Feast). How to understand if it works in a way that pleases Krsna? Other example,  a Local Yatra project, or National Yatra project? 

Very grateful, 
Namacarya das

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP ... I guess the basic idea is whether Krsna was happy after the Battle of Kuruksetra or not, no?   Did Yuddhistira feel that he had eliminated a government and governors that weren't working?

In the end Bhisma convinced him that he had eliminate the right things.

What do you think of:

Dear Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you so much for answering my letter. Radha Govinda Devi dasi and Karuna Sakti Devi dasi, from Mexico, are helping me a lot, giving me some material and a lot of inspiration to go on with the Gurukula sessions. 

HpS - ASA ----    SU, SU, SUPER!!

Hoping you are fine when reading this message.

Your

humble servant,

Purnamasi devi dasi

HpS - We are fine when we hear from devotees!   See you in Spain in April!   Scan some of the children's are and publish it!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, All glories to Srila Prabhupada

HpS - Who are like three of the other principal participants?  Who are they?

Goura Purnima (pancagaura prabhu's wife), [Is that Pancha-gauda or Pancha-gaura. President?],  Kusha (head community center), Mukhunda Datta prabhu's wife (head Pujari).  We have a meeting tomorrow with Bhurijan Prabhu, to try to put some "guide line" and see the point of view of senior devotees.

There are so many nice devotees, so many. Thank you for your replay. Hare Krsna!

HpS - ASA - Thank you.  What is the Community Center?  Do theses three devotees have kids they want to educate in the school?

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!     yes, thanking him so much for coming to deliver us the way home

so, we are advancing nicely in the development of this institution... today a very nice friend came "as if send by Radha" and guide us about affiliations and examination boards.  we would like to make an affiliation with Radhadesh, maybe to have senior girls validate certain subjects for the Bs in theology?

HpS - ASA - Is very complicated. Probably all they would suggest is that your students can register for the on-line courses. Even Radhadesa is losing some of their accredidation because they have not got enough students.  The Headmaster of the Vrndavana Gurkula would know Prana Das and Rama-giridhari Das from Nava mumbai, ISKCON Ministry of Education and they would know the official position of Radhadesa, but it is hard to get in touch with them.

GBC meetings now in Pune? soon to be in Mayapur. we have big dreams... and we have this feeling pushing us that the money will come, we just have to make it nice and give our best.

HpS - Yes, is possible. Was possible to win the Battle of Kuruksetra.

We want to have a compleat educational and devotional program, very LUDIC and practical, which we want to become our key elements.

ASA - LUDIC??

So today and yesterday we heard the name Prana das 5 times... we will contact him ASAP.

How can we contact Yadunandana Swami? Sesa Das? Devoteed from the texas gurukul?

HpS - Yadunandana Swami through the Radhadesa College. Sesa Das almost impossible. He has his family, GBC President, and Minister of Education. It is like trying to contact President of India.

are we going the right way? how can we know?

HpS - About 50% the right way. You can know byu letters like this.  Work more with the local educators, Gurukula, people for information.  Who are you partners in this project?

(our psycologist husband says we have a mild manic depressive case... and we think... yeah, it makes sence...childhood so frustrating, we became devotees young so it became little better, nice to have a goal in this world.... to try to get out of it!!!   not so much depressiveness this past 12 years, more maniac '@'  )

We are at your feet, Srila Prabhupada's mercy...

Cakori Radha Devi dasi.

HpS - Maybe the monkeys in vraja were manic depressives.  Has your good husband diagnosed himself?   Ha!   Ja!   Haaa!
