Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Recently, we have seen your pictures Maharaj (posted from Mumbai) and you appear little weak. Please take care of your health Maharaj.

Maharaj, we have been following the 4 regulative principles and chanting minimum 16 rounds for past 4 years, attending Bhakti Vriksha every week, listening to lectures and reading Prabhupada books.

And we also attending the "Disciple Course (Bhaktivedanta online course)" and will be done in 3 more weeks.

We expressed our deeptest desire to take your shelter when you were in Richmond last September and it's been 8 months and we would like to request your permission to chant your "Pranam Mantra".

Radhika Raman Prabhu is here at our home and he can help us in this regard.

Awaiting for your Mercy.

Your humble servants,

-Srinivasa and Kameswari

               HpS - Jaya!     AGTSP...  So nice to hear from you Mr. Srinvasa of Richmond and esteemed family and esteemed friends.   You can see from the Kapi Dhvaja and the Blog that we are in Spain.    June 1st we are in USA and our cell phone should be working.           Plan is to visit Virginia en September.           ISKCON law is that you can start chanting the acharya's mantra when you are a formal aspirant. That just requires a letter of recomendation from your local Temple President or other person in that capacity.

We feel that any respect to us is like 99.999% due to Srila Prabhupada's miracle, sacrifice to make even a dog take part in his Sankirtana and dance in ecstacy.

Dear Guru Maharaja,

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

Sorry for not writing in a very long time. I don't have free internet at home so now I have to walk to the library. I am very lazy so I don't actually walk so often.

I have been meaning to write to you for a few weeks regarding some news. Finally I can and would like to let you know that my husband and I are going to be parents <img alt="smiley" height="20" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" title="smiley" width="20" /> We are very excited-at least I am. He is too but I am more excited. We both want to ask your blessings and prayers for the well being of the child. Please tell us any thing we should know about preparing for the baby to be born. That would be very helpful.

             HpS - ASA -   AgtSP.   paoho.   Very  nice.....  Congratulations.   Yes, the He-Wolf has the first tendency to eat the puppys, so the She-Wolf has to protect them.  But then the He-Wolf sees he can teach him what he knows him and they love him then he becomes VERY attached.  I guess humans are similar.

      Prabhupada told one couple that they should understand that there child to be was not an ordinary person, that Krsna does not send ordinary people to be the children of devotee, so they should be very careful to protect their child very carefully so that he could grow up very nicely and do wonderful things for society.
So, all the time the Mother is carrying the baby, it is forming the basis of its body. Must be proper diet and especially proper consciousness, hear chanting.   Maybe your Baby is Bhakti-siddhanta Sarasvati.  Ha!    Ha!     Ha!               No more Maya!!!

I will make more of an effort to write more frequently to update. Thank you for your tolerance and patience.

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dd

               HpS - ASA -  I have the feeling that will go to Toronto for Rathyatra, but of course not this year.  I just feel that way...

Hare Krsna!

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada.

Estimado Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja, 

Espero se encuentre muy bien de salud. Una vez más le agradezco su misericordia sin causa por responder mis cartas. Sus respuestas son una inyección de amor y optimismo que entran directo en mi corazón.

Esta vez le escribo por una situación especial que estoy viviendo. Sé que solo gracias a sus bendiciones podré atravesarla.

Mis servicios en el templo siguen siendo los mismos, la vida en el ashram está muy tranquila, todo funciona en armonía. Mi sadhana no tan bien. La semana pasada y la anterior hubo un día respectivamente en que no canté ni una sola ronda Maharaja. Uno de esos días estuve muy enferma y no tenía el ánimo para hacerlo, el otro....no tengo ni una  excusa.

Desistí de dar clases de hatha yoga en los institutos en los que estaba, para hacerlo solo en el templo como un servicio para recaudar fondos para la construcción del templo en Sri Govardhan, para lo cual necesitaré de sus bendiciones!! De esta manera toda mi energía estará destinada sólo al servicio del Señor.

Desde hace unos meses, Krsna hizo que me asocie con un devoto. Todo está muy bien, realizamos servicios juntos, y estamos proyectando otros tantos para más adelante. Krsna siempre está en el centro.

La asociación con este devoto me está mostrando en profundidad mis anarthas, y entiendo que gracias al proceso del canto del Maha Mantra es que puedo verlas. Cuanta misericordia la del señor Caitanya!! Estos días estoy muy triste, mi corazón está roto sabiéndome un ser tan HORRIBLE, FALTO DE HUMILDAD Y POCO AMOROSO.  

A su vez algo me reconforta....y solo ud. podrá decirme cual es la verdad...Siento que el hecho de ver estas anarthas, es el principio del cambio. Pero aquí es donde me surge la pregunta Maharaja: Debo forzar el cambio de actitud mediante una imposición sabiendo que lo tengo identificado?? o sólo espero que el canto continúe actuando en mi corazón?? Sólo sé que mi sinceridad al decir como me siento ante determinadas situaciones en muchos casos no es favorable, y no quiero lastimar a las personas con las que me vinculo por mi falta de humildad, mi necesidad de sincerarme y consecuentemente ubicarme en el lugar de víctima....

Por favor Maharaja deme sus bendiciones para convertirme cada día en una persona más amorosa....

Le envío desde Mar del Plata mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Su insignificante aspirante a sirviente,

Bhaktin Juliana

                 HpS - ASA - Jaya!        Hasta llegamos a Bhava los anarthas va a "persist", continuar.  Pero cada menos fuerte.       Si, basicamente la medicina, 16-rondas...  va a curar la enfermidad. Realiza con entusiasmo, pero tambien con poco paciencia!   De otro manera, si, hay aspectos de Bhakti yoga que podemos aplicar en detalla para removar problemas especificas.    Eso require Vd. habla con devotos mayores acerca de los detalles de sus apegos y entonces puede lograr sugerencias especificas!

Dear Maharaj, Please, accept my reverences I write to you because I need some warm advice, to be sure that there's still some of Love for Krishna in my heart... Im living in Egypt because I'm gonna get married with an egyptian guy, his family is a quite traditional Muslim family, but they accept our relationship gladly. My boyfriend is quite open minded, he is happy about my beliefs and respect and accept them. He always is asking me about krishna, karma and reincarnation. Unfortunately, I don't have books in English to make him read. Even I'm following just one principle (vegetarian for ever) today I felt the strong desire to set up an altar in our home, with a RadhaKrishna deity that Laksmi Radha devi dasi gave to me in Santiago. Also I chanted two rounds, after months without doing it... I always remember your words and advices, May be it's a kind of sentimentalism the way I feel now, but I just would like to read some words from you, to know that this weak link between me and Krishna is not broken. Thanks a lot for your unconditional shows of love! Your most goofy and fallen servant Nadia Villar From Santiago, Chile (Living in Egypt now)

HpS -  Wow!   AgtSP!   Paoho.             Your name is very strong in our mind, but we can;t remember your form or pastimes.  Ha!     Ha!               Ha!              Of course, its nice to hear from you.                If you are goood Muslim lady and gooood Muslim husband then the four principles are also recomended.  Of course, the Koran is written for people in dificult situacion in the desert so basically it says that you may have to eat camel meat etc.     But that's not the best suggestion. So look for good Muslem ladies and you will find that KC is natural for everyone.  Try translating a little little bit into local language.  Send more news!
