P.A.M.H.O.

Hare Krsna Maharaja, 

Thank you very much for the last answer you gave me in the response of my last letter, I fell really blessed by my chance of having your association for a feww days in Santiago, I really enjoyed your classes and I was particullary interested in the academic preaching you showed me, I boughth some of the books you showed in your class and recently I picked then and they are a really interesting aproach for a diferent group of people. I have uncles and ants working as university teachers, and I'm really eager to show then some of the books I bought, maybe some time when you are in Brazil you may be willing to do a program in their university? 

I've been chanting my 16 rounds, following 4 principles, now I'm in US visiting my family, and visiting the temples in NY and the 26 2nd avenue. I'll be back in Sao Paulo friday.

I really hope you are felling rested and better from your health, hope to see you in US when you are here as well and hopefully you will let me have your mercyfull association, how can I check the dates from your tour? 

             HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!      paoho.   Calendar always ys updated at www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.txt

If you don't mind would also like to ask something, hope not to botter you...

Talking to professors and cientists, once I got asked, "ok so the karma of someone decides some stuff in your life, but we genetically prove that some deseases pass genetically from father to son and so on, but let's assume that the karma puts you in the family with the desease in question, but what about the deseases like alcholism, or even some addictions that some people may have that are genetically stronger in one or in other? Some people are genetically inclinaded to be addicted to tobacoo but never smoked in their lives, but some will never quit smoking, so what is the role in karma in this cases?" 

  HpS it is hard to understand the exact lgic of the questions.  also the interent is bizaare here and we cannot read what we are typing until two minutes after we type it so many spelling mistakes.
Some times the inclinations from karma as expressed n the genes are very strong. We cant avoid them. Do we expect to find a "chaste" dog?  He/She is a dog, they will be FORCED to have sexual relatins.   In other situations, species, families, the impuse is not so strong so  we can control it by our free will some times or always.  Is this the question???

I really apreciate the time you get only by reading this, and hope i don't botter when writing to you... Hope to see you soon, and thanks again for everything!

Your aspiring servant,

    HpS - Jaya!    It is n bother..   It is mery.  Other wisw we  only can go out on the street and join the 400 people moving aroudn the city cienter eating watermelon and getting ready for the wiskeu and rum this eveing!    More!!

Dear gurudeva,

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

This week we received word from our lawyer that Mdd has received a five year visa. It cannot be because of something other than mercy, and i guess Radha Gopinath had a vision when we were both living in Radhadesh, because that mutual stay now offered us our legal means. With only a little more than two weeks of pregnancy left, this news came at the right time. Because of my parttime work and the pregnancy's crescendo our sleeping pattern is disturbed, and i miss the collective Japa Joe sessions. But chanting is going on nicely and without faltering, slowly getting more tasty

Still there is not much strength and focus there, i realize, especially when singing bhajan in a group. These don't come cheap! I am looking forward to Februari, when you'll visit Radhadesh. You asked me to prepare last May, and in this time i was shown so much, it is so wonderful! Because of my current situation i need to plan ahead, so if you still want to accept me as your disciple i ask if you can decide on some period in which the ceremony can take place. I ask you in this way because it is expensive for us as a family to stay in Radhadesh. We can visit for about four nights. I will ask the Amsterdam TP for a letter of recommendation. I look forward to your reply.

I also look forward to the development of your Journey to the Orient project. Thank you for the DTC updates, it's nice to read. Good luck and a good Hare Krishna time in the many programs.

Your aspiring servant,
Richard

 HpS - ASA -   Are you chanting 16 enthusiastic rounds/day, following four principles strictly, rising by 4AM (or Brahma muhurta) for Mangala arati, kirtan and Srimad Bhagavatam etc? Do you have a healthy relationship with the Sankirtan of Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON?  You have to keep this standard for one year before 1st initiation. Nothing has changed. {:0).     Then for your whole lif, then 2nd, 3rd... initiation.  Is a wonderful journey, but very personal and individual also. Was 11-years after Prabhupada met Srila Bhaktisiddhanta that he took initiation, no?

Congratulations on becoming a Legal Alien.

Our calendar for Radha desa is fixed in the www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.txt

We are in Spain and Radhadesa for the whole month of May.

WRITING
AGTSP     paoho.    Here we are in Cuenca, Ecuador.  It is colder than popsicles, but almost as sweet.      You may ask why we write, and the answer is simple, to stay awake. If we don't write we lose control of our mind.

MINDING MIDGETS
Our mind is inherited the past refuse of generations of stupid garbage junk. If we don't write about the Krsna book then into this refuse it will dunk.

Krsna, Krsna,    Krsna, Krsna,
                   Krsna, Krsna,    Krsna, He!

When we keep these storys from the KRSNA book in our head and heart, then they confront all information that comes from the bilge-water-world of Srimati Maya-devi's huge enventory of excruciating excreta, that we confront daily, and by the mercy of Hara, we can connect it all the Her service.

FIRST PLACE
The first history we heard from the KRSNA book was "The Story of the Shyamantaka Jewel", yet, however, but, we personally heard from Jayananda Das' lips, as we remember, that Srila Prabhupada said, that if you go on chanting "Hare Krishna" you will see pastimes that you never read in any of my books.

Still, Stow, Ree,
      Shyaman,   Taw,    Kaw
Jewel is hunky-dori.

Once there was a King of the name, Satrajit... [What does the name mean??  "Jit" means to conquer, but "satra" we don't k'no] ... who lived within the juris diction of Dvaraka-dhama. [He lived on the island or D'ka had juris diction of land-lots also??]

He was a great devotee of the Sun god and therefor gradually entered into a very friendly relationship with him.   Because of this the Sun-god awarded him the jewel known as Shyamantaka, which, when he would wear it, in a locket hung around his neck, made him appear just like the Sun god with his dazzling effulgence.

One day, thus attired, he visited the city of Dvaraka... [stay tuned for more devolpments and/or read it or tell in to some one, or contemplate it, but somehow or other keep it on your mind.]

hare krsna maharaj PAMHO, AGTSP,
the background of this letter comes from lessons of Martial book based on biblical teachings recommended by Mother Urmila, Man of Steel and Velvet.

there was lesson of humility- which meant to think ourself as we are..which matches with definition of Jayananda prabhu. We are asking you as we see a very down to earth person in you.. otherewise who will answer trash of letters by  caballo.

We have understood litlle bit effects of presence of humility and absence of humility, but in our present condition in Dark Well , we think first of all we need to understand how does humility applied in practical action

book says---The Savior set a perfect example of humilty. although he was chosen son of god, having no sin and was able to overcome all things. yet he lived among common people and dined with sinners. although his disciples worshipped him, he did not rise above them in attitude of superiority. he demonstrated his humility when he bowed before them and washed their feet.

assuming you know Savior, a Biblical character, how are above actions humility ? if humility means not to think one self low. then how can guru wash feet of disciples .. or sin free man can dine with sinner..

if our understanding is wrong can you, give some highlights/teachings over humility.

regards,
harsh...

            HpS - ASA -  AGTSP   paoh.  Little hard to cross reference from other traditions in detail. Even when we do Hamlet and Arjuna we don't go in great depth and even that takes lots of time and work.  The nectar is in serving Krsna and if we see ourselves as servants of everyone then we get more nectar because we get a chance to help them in their service!
