Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja!

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

I really like how you are growing roses. When my daughter is older I will teach her to plant flowers as an activity. It's very nice.

    HpS - ASA --- AGTSP. paoho. Yes, it is the greatest "Biology" course. One lady Biologist said that one of her professors, big guy, said that Biology is the Science of Life, but the irony is that nobody kills more life than Biologists.

Recently I came across a blog advocating ethical practices towards animals. Basically this person lists brands of cosmetics and beauty products that are cruelty free. It's more of a beauty blog which is one of my interests- I am a girl after all. Anyways my question is should we as devotees be as vigilent in purchasing and using cruelty free products as non-devotees are?

               HpS - It will come naturally. We see animals as people with emotions, aspirations, devotees. So naturally when we see a chance to reduce their pain we take it up. The difference is that we see it in proper proportion, relieve bodily distress so that one can make spiritual advancement.

It's a similar topic as the cow milk I asked about in the past but I need some more clarification. In many of the lectures you have given, you mention how there are some bizarre details that we can't avoid about living in kali yuga. But if you can say something about this issue please do!!

            HpS - That's all we can comment. There are so many techinical details to be figured out about how to be in the mode of goodness for Krsna. What's possible in Kali-yuga and what is for our false ego, "I am Vegan, I am better more good than them"? I think that you can make pretty intuitive decisions about how much to pursue the different adjustments. One Ayurvedic doctor told me he tells his female clients, "There is no better beauty aid than keep good posture!"

On another note, our family will be making a trip to seattle in August to attend my brother-in-law's wedding. The event is on the 19th. I saw in your calendar that you will be in the area around that time. Will you have dates confirmed soon? We really want to see you this year and don't want to miss the opportunity. 

            HpS - ASA - The Calendar dates linked from the Kapi Dhvaja are correct. Just add Denver en-route to Boise, and Janmastami and Prabhupada in Vancouver. Next day in Bellingham, then Seattle until Friday. Friday in Portland then Saturday off to San Francisco. We will ber very happy to see you all!!

Other than that we are settled in Calgary. My husband got a job at the bank and our daughter Audharya is healthy and teething. My parents are happy to be with their grandaughter. I think she likes them too! 

I wanted to know if we could try out the japa joe program. I'm kind of scared because firstly I don't know how it works and secondly it seems like it's a skype-type thing which is the scary part. 

    ASA - Japa Joe is simple. You go to StartMeeting.com. Then you push the Load Button or whatever it is and it sets up a few simple files on you computer. Then you go to the specific Meeting: 992 055 489. A little control panel will come up and you click on the Green Telephone and mute your microphone and you can hear me or someone else chanting. We share fotos sometimes and have a little Chatting.

Is nice. 

Basically is chance to chant with some association.

Get up early and get your rounds done!!
Your report seems nice. Of course, always inviting people to your home to hear SB!!!!

Hoping you are healthy and happy.

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dasi

   Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis más humildes reverencias. Soy Dhanistha devi dasi de Santiago de Chile. Guru Maharaja en Su última visita a Chile, le pedí Sus bendiciones para tener un hijo, le quería contar que ahora estoy embarazada de tres meses.

Estoy leyendo el Srimad Bhagavatam diaramente, cantando mis rondas, atendiendo a las Deidades de la casa junto a mi esposo. Hari Murari D le envía sus reverencias.

            ASA - Nos es igual. Esta planificando tomar Sannyasa, Harim., no? Falta solamente como 30-anos!!

Muchas Gracias Guru Maharaja. Esperando ser digna de recibir Su misericordia, se despide,

Hare Krsna Maharaja, soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de españa.

I wish You are soooo good in all aspects.

This letter I don´t know if is better be private or not.

The first think I want to say, is that Dandava ( Madrid Mandir ) had say that my principles are good, but I had explain to him that in 2013 I had broke 2 principles. Now is Ok but i don´t say that all was perfect all the year. I thinks he said good, but I want to say specificly.

The second think I want to say Gurudeva, I will not came back from Mayapura or India. All the thinks I see in the movement, politics thinks, make me burnt in fire. I don´t want be like that. We are very little devoties Vaisnavas in the world, and we are very very special persons, but my mind only can feel that in quite meditation ( Maha-mantra ). When I see the politics, I burnt, my mind is so weak. I hate politics thinks, always duplicities.

I don´t want thinks like this for the devoties, I want take shelter of the Dham and work under her shadow waiting mercy for the Rottweiler like me.

I always wanted be green veret, my father was also, and is my real profession in heart. They training us to be rottweiler, and now I know that I am one.

I only want chant Hare Krsna and try to have mercy of the Dham. My mind is always finding faults in others.

16/4 OK. Lecture some days not. Mangala arati some days later.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva.

At Your feet, Your fool fool servant.
Hare Krsna.

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP Thank you for your letter. I think you are on the airplane now for India. You can only really enter the Dhama by following the instructions of Rupa Goswami, like Upadesamrta. Otherwise, we will be on the surface, like trying to taste the honey through the glass jar.

But it is also a fact that the Dhamas are very merciful. So, as you are sincere you should have nice experience in the Dhamas, but don't think that it is better than ISKCON Madrid, London, New York. We need both.
