Letters to the editor

hare krsna Maharaj & prabhus pamho agtsp.

haribol Maharaj espero que estes bien.

yo estoi bien gracias a krsna.

este mes de kartika a sido una gran misericordia para mi buenas realizaciones como que devo seguir adelante con el canto del santo nombre y prestar menos atencion a mis deseos lujuriosos, haribol, intentare desarrollarla.

Accepting Only What Is Necessary

In the Nāradīya Purāṇa it is directed, "One should not accept more than necessary if he is serious about discharging devotional service." The purport is that one should not neglect following the principles of devotional service, nor should one accept the rulings of devotional service which are more than what he can easily perform. For example, it may be said that one should chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra at least one hundred thousand times daily on his beads. But if this is not possible, then one must minimize his chanting according to his own capacity. Generally, we recommend our disciples to chant at least sixteen rounds on their japa beads daily, and this should be completed. But if one is not even able to chant sixteen rounds, then he must make it up the next day. He must be sure to keep his vow. If he does not strictly follow this out, then he is sure to be negligent. That is offensive in the service of the Lord. If we encourage offenses, we shall not be able to make progress in devotional service. It is better if one fixes up a regulative principle according to his own ability and then follows that vow without fail. That will make him advanced in spiritual life.

hare krsna

esta instruccion me a ayudado mucho porque e estado cantando un numero de rondas que era como si me sacrificaran..

Maharaj como siempre que paso por aqui quiero darte las super gracias a ti y a todos los  Vaisnavas que participan en el programa de japa es una grandiosa misericordia para mi muchas gracias!!!

Being Prepared to Give Up Everything Material for Kṛṣṇa's Satisfaction

In the Padma Purāṇa it is stated, "For one who has given up his material sense enjoyment and has accepted the principles of devotional service, the opulence of Viṣṇuloka [the kingdom of God] is awaiting."

..... suena atractivo pero seremos capases de aserlo?

bueno realmente un monton de cosas que mejorar para evitar ser enviado al infierno y disfurtar de la compañia de krsna! ceto darpana marjanam

ahora es un buen momento escribiendo esta carta pero pero...

es 99,9% seguro que en lo que queda de este dia estaremos atormentados por nuestros  deseos de complacer los sentidos y tendremos que aser un gran gran esfuerzo por no caer..

O.K. hay que ser valiente :^)

mono2:oh wow es increible.

mono1: si si toma unos libros!

                  HpS - ASA -  AGTSP.  Kali-yuga es tan chaos que mantener solamente un burbujo de conciencia de Krsna de tres pasos de tierra y 24-minutos adelante es un gran esfuerza. Hari bolo, Hari bolo!    Esta Vd. en Madrid?  Viva con su familia? Cerca del Espiritu Santu?  Gracias por su asociacion!  y  su carta!

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp,
we have asked you many things in last two and half years. but now seeing your donkey's situation, we feel sad and happy simultaneosly.
you have so much to give to world, for that we think we need lots of physical activity from your side. (like Manipur devotees are asking you to come to their place).
when we read that "Maybe reaction for accepting disciples" we feel happy, that in coming times you will stop accepting disciples.
 

it makes us again think that we have lots of karma baggage(t.hat too negative as every body can see). how can we take intiation from you at all, even if we qualify.

however you were the transparent glass through which we could understand what SP was saying to us and what he wants. we feel sorry not able to fulfill the commandments he gave us.  we can not think of any one else as link between us and Srila Prabhupada.

anyway, apart from formality, you have any service is ready this horse would be happy to do that (intiated or not) thats secondary.
we have contacted goloka education and will personally meet them by 19 nov.
trying to serve you atleast physically,
harsh pradhan
we would try to any thing for u.

               HpS - Oh! today is 21 November, but RGD just communicated that his father had some very, very serious medical problem so everything is little delayed.

...a little story--duryodhana said to Drona after Bheesmadeva lied on bed of arrows. "gurudev are you sure, you will kill pandavas"..drona said--" i am not like bheesma who can do whatever he says, all i can say till i am living i am on ur side completely"..

HpS - Hare Krsna. Krsna is very kind. He will keep us all together if that is good for us. He is our friend. We want everyone to remind us of Him and be fibre optic to and from him.

Dear Guru Maharaja, Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories Srila Prabhupada! We would like to let you know that our daughter was born yesterday at 10:47 am and weighed 8lbs 5oz. Thankfully she appeared on the very last day of kartik which is auspicious. We ask for your blessings for this little girl to be a servant of Gaura Nitai. Your aspiring servants, Rasa mandali devi dasi and Yogendra dasa

HpS - Jaya! And the daughter of Jiva Goswami and Sri, in Houston also happened almost, maybe the exact, same time. She also was pounds.

Thank you so, so much for all your efforts. Your daughter is not an ordinary person. Krsna does not send ordinary people to be the children of devotees. Now you have big responsibility to see that she is well protected so that she can grow up well and do wonderful things for society!

Dear Guru maharaj

Please accept my dandavat pranams. All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

I wish you speedily recover from the spider bites maharaj. You might already know this, but I was thinking if applying coconut oil might help.

          HpS - Not sure what [AGTSP!] was the stimulous, but the more ultimate cause is that we are 70% pitta at least, and that was out of order because of too much psycho-social disorder, diet etc. When we changed that it started to reduce. Over our whole body.

I am progressivelly successfull in chanting my rounds and following all regulative principles.

Wishing you speedy recovery maharaj

your aspiring servant

Nataraj

HpS - Where are you? Dallas???     

"By bhajana-kriyā one attains freedom from the contamination of materialistic life. He no longer goes to a restaurant or hotel to taste so-called palatable dishes made with meat and onions, nor does he care to smoke or drink tea or coffee." NoI Seven.

Prabhupada makes a clear standard for us. Compared to other religions and yoga groups ISKCON, Prabhupada, Has a high standard, but we get the real result, no?

Also the regulative principles are not just something mechanical. We follow them because it makes Krsna happy.

There are three ways to do things:

The right way,

The wrong way and,

Krsna's way!    More news... your Yatra??...

Querido Gurudeva: Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias para Srila Prabhupada.

Cómo está? Se encuentra mejor?

              HpS - Jaya!  AGTSP.  pfanrh.   Muchas gracias su associacion cada manana en taller de Japa! Adelantando juntos guarantizado!!!    Nuestra salud, energia esta bien. Un diente necesita u x-ray, los pies poco hinchados pero mejor de antes. Vamos a morir, pero mantener el instrumento apto para predica del manera mejor hasta la fin, no?

Mi esposo Jayanta está bien. Trabajando aunque sigue teniendo algunos dolores. Gracias a la misericordia de Krisna, cuento en esta vida con su asociación y ejemplo; un ejemplo marcado, sobre todo por su gran fe en el proceso, en Srila Prabhupada, y por su capacidad de ver a Krisna en los momentos menos apacibles. A mí no me resulta tan fácil. El fin de semana pasado estuvimos disfrutando de la asociación de Avesa rupa prabhu y Adi Rasa Prabhu. Realmente me siento muy afortunada de poder asociarme con estos dos devotos. Pasamos tres días con ellos en la casa donde están ahora, en un pueblito de Cáceres, muy cerca del Parque Natural de Monfragüe. Dos ejemplos de sankirtan y servicio, para mi muy importantes. Este domingo iremos a la fiesta del Templo, donde tambien, gracias a Krisna, puedo asociarme con más devotos. Espero que se encuentre mejor cuando reciba este mensaje. Su aspirante a humilde sirvienta, Purnamasi devi dasi

             HpS - Reverencias al Adi y el Avesa!!!!    Y como estan sus hijos?  Cuales son sus cualidades?  Programa para ninos en el templo? Trabajando en escuela Vd? Buscando otro diploma?  -[;D]

Reverencias a Jayanta Das. Pide una carta con sus comprehensiones de Sankirtan ahora!

Respected Guru Maharaj,

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

Just came back from the temple after my weekly Friday afternoon cooking, Priya was helping me, we made like 08 items, and plenty.

                  HpS - AGTSP and the Kids? They didn't help!??

After offering, head pujari said that Gaur-Nitai are very happy with the offering.  I don't know about that, but whenever I enter the kitchen or do anything important or important, I alway say,"Jay Hanumat Preshak Swami Guru Maharaj, Jai Jagatguru Srila Prabhupad".

             HpS - Mukhan karoti vacalam... !

Yesterday, we had very sweet Prabhupad disappearance day festival, presided over by our local gbc man HH Ramai Swami, he gave a nice class sharing with us Prabhupada's life in a Chronological way.  Your God-brother Abhilash Prabhu came, he said that please apologize from Maharaj on his behalf that he could not come while you were here in Brisbane and then, he gave me a nice flute to give to you.

I am not happy to know that you have been biten by spiders, hope that now you are recovering.  Can you kindly use some kind of mosquito net etc?

             HpS - Hmmmm. We don't know what it was. Is gone now. Basically is like to much pitta and then it pops out some place. We have to  be more and more and more careful of honoring, prasadam, dancing and properly associating as we get older. Old age is a good friend for a devotee, pushes us to become pure devotees. We don't know how much more time we have left. If we don't artificially try to maintain body then it may go quickly, even in a few days! One day!
We have given up.
What Krsna wants, let it happen. We just do our transcendental eternal service to Him.
Who is a Abhilasa Das???  His name sounds so familiar.
This is last letter this evening and then we will write the Kapi dhvaja for you!
Please tell Priya and Kids that they are great heroes for loving you even though you are a Bufalo Headed Punjabi.
Respects to so many devotees in your Yatra. Was so nice to be there
Of course, we go to India 9th Feb - 1st March.

have chanted 12 rounds, still 4 more to go, jai Guruji, HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das
