Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, 

Dandavat Pranam. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, all glories to you Guru Maharaja. 

I have no words to express my gratitude for you for your kindness upon this fallen servant of yours.

Guru Maharaj, I am extremely happy at this moment because I have seen mentioning my name in your blog post this morning and by seeing the post this thought is persisting in my mind that at least I am able to receive some mercy and love of yours.

Guru Maharaj please save me from Maya and give me guidance on my devotional life. 

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!! Just read Srila Prabhupada's SB every morning, as much with devotees as possible!! Then we see you all together with Nimai in Nadiya!

Yes, Manjuali Devi Dasi!! We have your Annual Report!!

Thank you!!

If you have a WhatsApp address please send it here. We won't publish it.

Guru Maharaj, my whatsApp number is +91813xxxxxx.

HpS/ASA - Thank you. Tom Brown sent this message:

Hare Krsna. We, agtSP, are HpS/ASA Communications Secretary, Tom Brown. Thank you so very, very much for your Blog posts and determined contribution to Lord Caitanya's mission. Can you please post your paper-mail address in the Blog also, and confirm receipt of this WhatsApp message? Thank you.

Your humble servant

ASA - Thank you. The above is enough for paper mail to reach you all?

Is Indian mail service good?

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please Accept my obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Thank you for giving me your instructions and advice, I appreciate it very much, you are my eternal teacher and friend.

When I went to see you in Buenos Aires, you told me that in my life music should be just a hobby, that my work should be something more “forceful.”

HpS - Yes!!! I don't remember that.    Lord Caitanya teaches us that music and dancing... for KRSNA ... with Him and Nitai ... are the most important. Even materially music can be top force.

And the truth is that I am a person with multiple abilities, I will not dedicate myself to just one thing in life, but after reflecting and analyzing my past and nature, I consider that music should be the most important activity, both in life spiritual as material.

HpS - Yeah!

What do you think? Could it be that on that occasion in Argentina you gave a general instruction? Or do you still think that music in my life should be something secondary?

HpS - Comments above. Maybe certain context or something.

Thank you very much Gurudeva

Hare Krishna!

Your servant

HpS - Thank you!!!! Hoping to hear more about your Sankirtan efforts and Sadhu Sanga.

"Perservere, for Rama and our queen Sita…”

Hanuman whispered this to himself alone looking onto his sleeping army

hearts of gold among furry mounds of sigh-full breaths. 

Maybe fatigue sets in but happiness of finding his Lord in the unsettling forest takes permanent seat,

Carries him forward to Lanka 

as ocean wind tries to tousle and tickle instead of push and hold back. 

Hanuman could shape-shift his body but also words.

During his poetic pep talks to his army kiln 

He would say, 

“Be thankful for the service given and we will not sway!

Our Sita will bring peace to us all…

Their peace will ignite millions of lights 

In the souls who need them 

therefore is there ever 

Any time to waste??

Write Rama on stones, say Rama for strength 

Chant Hare while remembering Sita 

With folded hands and their name

We never fall. 

Laugh at the face of 10,000 eye demons

Know your biggest demon is yourself and your own weaknesses 

You may have strengths but always look deeper..."

Guru Maharaj, I watched in your newest Diary of the Traveling Creature ponder the meaning of your name given to you by his Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.

Perseverance you always have, despite the dark Kali yuga forests we walk through that give so many of us problems.

In Snow White and in so many stories, we always get entangled in the dark forest of illusion.

Gurudev, you make friends and laugh in the face of danger while we are stuck in a swamp or being mesmerised by Cheshire cats.

Guru Maharaj, you always have love and tolerance for all of us. We only hope to somehow be a part of your monkey army. You can have that fatherly glance on us always as we are in jiva jago sleepy places.

You give your association as you encourage our meek monkey army offerings with sometimes even meaker strength.

Your poetic pep talks and devotion like Hanuman always made me feel encouraged to offer a play, children's class, or even cleaning the ashram as a way to persevere. How can we be simple in our offerings but inspiring? Hanuman does this Guru Maharaj and so do you. Maybe sleeping simply on his journey with very little is what Hanuman did.

You do this as well Gurudev in all of your simple abodes and encourage us to be simple in our lives as much as possible.

Thank you for encouraging us to shape-shift all hard situations into opportunities to grow. With strength and laughter in the face of danger, I pray we can chant the holy name despite the dark forest of the mind and world we are in. Hanuman did it. You do it every day Gurudev and we can have association of your daily attempts and example in your monkey warrior blog.

So happy to watch the Vyasapuja today and have our family be with you on this auspicious day. Below is a link to a scholarly article Bhakta Professor Jerry Catt has found: Searching for the Hidden God: the Intimacy of Sound and Listening among Krishna Devotees in Mayapur by Marje Ermel from Tallinn University. https://ojs.utlib.ee/index.php/JEF/article/view/22669/17207.

Also there is a flier is attached for our upcoming children's festival and play. We will send a link soon to the performance.

Thank you for allowing me to be your spiritual daughter and continue carrying small stones on this path. I hope to build bridges with you Gurudev and escape the forest. Im happy to keep battling as long as you're our leader in this.

Your fallen servant,

Kamagayatri dd

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna, Mataji, don't led your Man and you Kids fall down. Do your best to get them back on their feet again and again.



Hare Krishna Maharaja!

Please accept my respectful obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

In the previous letter, I mentioned that it was by "his mercy" that I was able to make it to mangal, and by "his mercy" that I was able to go on the altar to throw flowers on Radha Kalachandji.

I have read many posts that devotees say "his" to refer to H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami, and that was my intention too!

Thank you! I just wanted to clarify that!

HpS - But also by the mercy of Temple President, Lord Nitayanand Das, no? So many people helping us develop OUR service in different capacities! 🐵 🐷 🐮 🐸 🐶 👨 👧 🐈

I also came up with this poem for you--

Like tears in the rain

Mangal without you isn't the same

Twirling your cane

Freeing us from mortal pain

For Krsna let's re-yolk

And all go to Golok!

Aspiring to be a monkey,

Jaya Hari das

Thank you for the Maha-art each morning!!!!

5.38PM. Sunset. Going to Bathe, Gayatri, visit Saranga thakura Das's home for a Nrsmha Yajna at 6.30PM and go to Temple for Gaura arati and BLS on Rama at 7.30PM.

We see several more letters with titles DTC. It is good orientation for us. I guess we can send some back to Peru, some to Mexico, distribute some here. Keep some for later distribution here... and we can bring some to Spain (ISKCON Czech Republic) or send them!

If you will still have any and would be not making you any uncomfort I hope to meet you in Spain.

HpS - How do you get the left side grey line in front of the paragraph??? We got emos by keystrokes going!

How is the Beta, Kappa, Delta, Gama... version!???

Coming slower than I planned (that's my always wrong time estimates). But I am happy with progress. Will finish reading history remake today. Next thing will be most likely search.

We can schedule some date and time which suits you as it will be great honor to have you as first user of the new version. And I could still change something based on your desires before launching it for public.

HpS - We might be able to help a little bit but 🐵 and 🐷 would have many suggestions right away!

Uncle Gismo notes that there is a 🔬 but now Robot emoji!

Your son is Prahlada????

Wife at one moment wanted to name him Prahlad, but on end his legal name is Balarám and during name giving he got Balarám Nitai das.

HpS - Maybe he will be the next Maharaja Parishit and make the world One Planet Under Krsna with his capitol in Czech Republic! 😤

He will take over the Theta version???

Time will tell. I would be happy, but if astrology reading was correct he would be more connected with art. He is already drawing on walls 😀

HpS - Of course they do that in mental hospitals also. 😆 Maybe he will become as great a cartoonist as charles schulz!

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

HpS - Even if our body does not go to Spain. We will certainly send boxes, DTCs etc!
