Letters to the editor

Respected Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

My ticket from Mumbai to Delhi is booked now in the same flight AI 809 (10am to 12.20pm) on 25th of March.

I tried to call Rama Giridhari Das on both of the phone numbers you provided me, no response.

I am reaching Mumbai on 17th of March by Singapore Airlines SQ 422 at about 10.35am.

If I get no response from Rama Giridhari Das, then, I think I should go to Juhu temple, as I have made some arrangements there for accommodation in Brahmachari Ashram, or I should go to Navi Mumbai on my own?  Thanks a lot, HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

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

    Gurudev, we have sent a word document to your mail ID, about your brief introduction.
    which need to submit to local temple authority.

    Please have a look and let me know your input.

your fallen servant,

Hare Krsna Maharaja!

AgtSp!

Agt Guru y Gauranga!

I am Budanath Das from the little mountain

How are yours days in the Dham with sooo many excellent devotees?

How are the seva to Sri Sri Radha-Madhava Asta sakhi? And Prahlada-Ugra Narasimha? Sooo beautiful Mayapur? how are the servants of them? And the senior devoties?

I'm fine, struggling with my sadhana. but some days are sooo good.

How is the health of your body?

I think a lot lately that you're a shaft in my spiritual life, and my only physical union with Iskcon. I feel a great sense of debt to many devotees of ISKCON, They are my spiritual teachers, and You are the main.

Maharaja, if I sing rounds, and want to feel the external reality, clear as mountain sky, trying to feel the maha -mantra from behind the clear reality, and I feel I must let go of all my body, is that desire for mystical powers?, because something tells me I should be a mystic, and that the maha-mantra has to teach me something more than gross matter, I should not look for mystical powers, but if I hear well the maha-mantra, nothing will seem to me more mystical and wonderful, surpassing the matter, and may feel a bigger world without seeing it, perhaps, with the eyes but with the heart, conciusness, soul, but I feel that my conscience becomes a platform, say rounder, rather than as the body, straight. I do wrong? O well? Is a play?  In my dream, Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati said that to me. Is a nonsense? I just want to run into that world, plane. Is Ok?

Sorry, sorry for my looong letter, but I'm very happy to know that you are in the Dham.

My family is ok, growing, waiting more spiritual instructions from my. I hope that in a year or two, to impress my son very much, in their own way.

Happy, happy travel, sanga, seva.

Yours, Budanath das.

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

    Thank you so much for India Visit.

    Your mobile no for India, is not working. We tried to reach you on February 20, 21, but no luck.
    We think, your mobile no is not activated yet.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

Querido Gurudeva:

        Amo a Srila Prabhupada porque usted me enseñó amarlo, intento servir en su misión porque usted sirve, cumplo con mis fotos de iniciación porque usted los cumple. Usted me enseño cómo es que un discípulo debe actuar y al mismo tiempo como un maestro espiritual debe hacerlo.

Todo lo auspicioso en mi vida, usted lo ha cultivado. Gracias gurudeva misericordia por su mirada dulce al entregarme mi japa de iniciación es ese el Samskara que siempre deseo recordar, esa mirada que me hace amar a Srila Prabhupada, servir a su misión y esforzarme en ser firme en mi vida espiritual. Gracias por aceptarme como su discípula y por confiar en mí a pesar de mis evidentes falencias no concibo la vida sin su presencia en cada una de mis actividades. Todas las Glorias sean al Parampara, Todas las Glorias sea a Srila Prabhupada, Todas las Glorias sean a Usted!!

Acepten por favor mis reverencia postradas a Sus Sagrados Pies de Loto.

Quien desea permanecer siempre bailando en el eterno Kirtan de Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Su Hija.

Rati Manjari Devi Dasi.

+++Ofrenda de Prabhu Mathura Hari (Jayapataka Swami)+++

Para Su Santidad Hanumatpreshak Swami:
Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias al polvo de sus pies de loto. Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!
Le escribe un insignificante sobrino espiritual discípulo de S.S. Jayapataka Swami para saludarlo en el dia de su Vyasa Puja y honrarlo según mi capacidad. Su sola presencia me permite ver el significado verdadero de vida espiritual y cuanto esfuerzo debo invertir aún para intentar volverme un devoto del Señor.  
Adoro sus clases y en particular la forma en que presenta el conocimiento vedico y la especial manera de hacer llegar a la audiencia al siddhanta final. Es evidente que sus acciones y sus palabras estan en total concordancia.  Tomo su ejemplo y aspiro a seguirlo para el placer de mi maestro espiritual,  de los devotos en general y para el placer de los Acharyas previos. 
Muchas gracias por su asociación de la cual no me siento merecedor pero que aún asi llega hasta mi persona de una u otra forma. 
Tenga Ud. un excelente dia de Vyasa Puja junto a sus queridos hijos espirituales y a todos los demas devotos del Señor. 
Lo saluda atentamente y cae a sus pies: Mathura Hari das

HpS - AGTSP   Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Dear Gurudeva.

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

śikṣā-guruke ta’ jāni kṛṣṇera svarūpa

antaryāmī, bhakta-śreṣṭha,—ei dui rūpa

Hay que saber que el maestro espiritual instructor es la Personalidad de Kṛṣṇa. El Señor Kṛṣṇa Se manifiesta como la Superalma y como el devoto más grande del Señor.(c.c.adi lila 1.47)

ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān nāvamanyeta karhicit

na martya-buddhyāsūyeta sarva-deva-mayo guruḥ

«Hay que saber que el ācārya soy Yo mismo, y que no se le debe faltar al respeto de ninguna manera. No hay que envidiarle, creyéndole un hombre común, porque es el representante de todos los semidioses.» (CC Ādi 1.46)

Dear Gurudeva, accept my humble obeisances All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I started this my humble offering, with these two verses of Caitanya Caritamrta, to glorify properly. This task will be a great purification for me. I've been looking for God since childhood, thanks to the books of Srila Prabhupada, I could find it in its original form.

Thanks to Srila Prabhupada know that Balarama is adi guru, and is manifested internally and externally. It manifests externally as the spiritual master, who is not an ordinary person. It is a fact that in this world and in this age of Kali especially that there are many impostors posing as Gurus and Guru are in various stages of enlightenment. All these concepts can generate discussions among the devotees, and it is for this reason that many take different directions.

In my particular case, I consider it a great fortune to have come to formalize my bow in the family of Srila Prabhupada. I am completely convinced that Srila Prabhupada is that great personality sent by the Lord Caitanya, who hoped the previous Acharyas to enable prediction of Lord Gauranga to spread the holy name all over the world, and that makes me very proud. I relate to Srila Prabhupada not only through reading his books, or in the worship of the murti, if not, I consider my strongest tie, which I have with him through his sincere disciple you. "No one comes to the Father except through the Son" and in the case of Srila Prabhupada through his representative, and my great fortune is that I have only a Guru who is a direct disciple of Srila Prabhupada.

My good fortune is that I have to you, as my beloved spiritual master. Now I have almost 15 years, as a formal disciple, and although I struggled a lot with my practices and votes, I can still stay close. It's not just sentimentality. You are a sincere and very dedicated to the mission of Srila Prabhupada disciple. His determination to execute sadhana for many years makes it one of today acharyas for vaidhi sadhakas. His impeccable character and detached from selfishness and vanity, shows the standard, we must purify our hearts catch up with the process. Its educational and academic spirit are becoming a true revolutionary in our society Iskcon.

Your child's soul, when it gets sensitive, or share time with other children, or simply when swinging on the swing. His charisma and power in conferences, always enlightening devotees, expert way to answer questions, and getting stronger instruction of Srila Prabhupada's books. His intense love for his disciples, always trying to be near them, to guide, to correct, to excite them. His indifference to worldly things or those that have nothing to do with Krsna.

Its so expertly similar treatment to all, well-wishers and opponents, and many divine qualities could write pages, and does not want to pass myself off as someone who knows too much, because no one can fully know the pure devotee. I have only mentioned some of their qualities, but of all those, a quality is very prominent, "humility" In the scriptures it is mentioned that "The more humble, more advanced" and You are living proof of that.

Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, no doubt. Srila Prabhupada is a bona fide representative of Krsna, he is our Acharya, no doubt. You wanted Gurudeva is a genuine disciple of Srila Prabhupada, no doubt and we have a connection with you, it behooves us to be genuine, not to lose that connection. Once I gave him a hut flower in the temple, and you dance very beautifully before Radha Madan Vihari, with flower in her danda. Although it is difficult to explain, my materialistic heart was conquered by his devotion. Please accept my obeisances again and accept me in the shelter of your your beautiful lotus feet.
