Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, querido Guru Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y Todas las Glorias a usted.

ASA - TlgaSP!!!!! pfanrh....🔬 🐷 🐵

Muchas gracias por permitirnos acompañarle (en linea) a lo largo de sus viajes, casi podemos sentirnos ahí 😊 Le agradezco con el alma su esfuerzo por llevarnos con usted.

ASA - Es el mejor manera morir, no?

En clases recientes ha hablado de las cualidades de nuestro muy misericordioso Señor Krsna... Quisiera preguntarle ¿El perdón puede entenderse como una manifestación de la misericordia?

HpS - Yes, I think so. Ultimately Krsna can forgive us or He can chose not to forgive us, but He is very, very kind person!

Por otra parte, alguna vez Usted me dijo "no se avergüence demasiado de sus errores porque ellos son la base de su éxito" pero, si esos errores lastimaron mucho a alguien más... ¿cómo transformar ese arrepentimiento o vergüenza en algo útil para ambas partes?

HpS - By understanding that there is no mistake that we can make that we cannot correct. Rama told that to Laksmana, but we have to do the work. The person we hurt will understand the whole situation, and if they are sincere they will forgive us. If they are crazy they may not, but after we have done our work, Krsna will do his work.

¿Es posible que después de haber cometido grandes errores en una relación entre devotos, podamos re-construir esa relación e incluso fortalecerla? ¿Cómo hacerlo aún cuando ambas partes fueron muy lastimadas? 

HpS - The same. Any mistake can be corrected. The best way is to understand what is the other devotees service and try to help them. Of course, just continuing our service to Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON may be the best help we can do for them if we do not have a very specific relationship with them.

Por favor discúlpeme por ocupar su valioso tiempo con estos detalles, estamos intentando reparar nuestras faltas y continuar. Muchas gracias por sus instrucciones Guru Maharaja. 

Su inútil intento de sirviente

HpS - I think we will have to look for Jibesha's letter. From the Kapi Dhvaja you can see our position, no?

Right now for example we are with very low energy. 4PM. In the country house in Peru.

Hare Krsna!!! Hare Krsna!!! Are you in Pune???????

Dear Esteemed Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and NIOS.

I was very enlivened and enlightened to talk with you today about philosophy. I was very glad to hear of your book club on Carl Jung's the Red Book. I am really fascinated and interested in this from the scientific perspective on the topic of consciousness.

HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Sorry this has taken so long to answer. We don't really have a book club, but are putting out the reading materials we have taken up and looking to record comments and inspiration on The Monk's Podcast, with Chaitanya carana Das.

That is actually my deepest interest - the intersection of philosophy and science. I actually have taken philosophy courses while doing my D.Phil. (Ph.D.) at Oxford because it was a passion of mine (I have taken some online courses from Harvard back then also when I was a grad student and some philosophy course when I was an undergrad at BSU).

I was even an instructor at Bhaktivedanta College Finland and was teaching philosophy courses (but there are some details about Greek philosophers I certainly still need to learn :) But I got now more interested in material that cannot be obtained just from philosophy textbooks.

I got more interested now in something more practical and meaningful - bringing together concepts of philosophy and science. The majority of the world views the world through the eyes of modern scientific thought, which includes theories such as - string theory, parallel universes, the God particle, the God equation, extraterrestrial life, directed panspermia, but what are these all anyway - they are mathematical representations of concepts discussed in the Indian philosophies of Vedanta or Bhagavata.

That is what I am striving to work on - creating a local community of academicians to discuss these concepts in a book club and lecture series - the concepts of Vedanta and Bhagavata to modern science.

String theory (every subatomic particle being a wave / vibrations), parallel universes, extraterrestrial life, Fred Hoyle's panspermia (implanting of DNA of different species on earth - in Bhagavata, Daksha Prajapati) are mentioned in the Bhagavata.

I have had speakers from Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) in my Vedanta distinguished lecture series at my university Texas A&M University - Kingsville. I am now going to be creating more distinguished lecture series and webinars. Also, I am interested in getting some of these distinguished professors, especially from renowned world-class universities to join together for a refereed peer-reviewed special issue of papers in a journal, maybe Solaris.

This I hope would eventually branch off from the Vedanta lecture series. I strive for this effort because I feel that philosophers and scientists need to connect more. They were one and the same discipline in the past, only now has modern education divided them into different fields.

I believe that I as a scientist (having studied science at Oxford and also some philosophy), I can contribute to the interdisciplinary field of philosophy and science.

I am inspired by your holiness and hope I can learn from great and distinguished thinkers such as your holiness. Whenever I listened to your lectures, it always inspired me.

Sharing some of my personal thoughts,

YHS,

Aja Govinda dasa

HpS - AgtSP!!!!! Paoho. Your efforts sound very nice. If we can participate in some little way please let us know. We are trying to communicate our abilities and areas of expertise in the Kapi Dhvaja and then from there we are giving YouTube links and Monk's Podcast links and then links to representative programs we are presenting elsewise.

Science and the Vedas is one area listed on the YouTube Channel.

Thank you.

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva 🌝🙏

ASA/TB - 🐵 👍

Hare Krishna querido Guru Maharj ,AgtSP .

Hace mucho no le escribo,no hay mucho para decir .

Tampoco ahora, pero bueno, hubo algunos cambios, nosotros; yo, mi hijo y esposo estamos bien .

Nos vinimos a vivir a Francia hace tres meses ya, estamos pegados a suisa,en el limite. Nos prestaron una hermosa casa demasiado grande .

Pronto, apenas podamos iremos a la granja HK de Tours y también está el templo en paris , todo es cerca si tenés vehículo. Sólo tomar prasadam y oír kirtan, espero el humor espiritual por estos lugares no sea tan ajeno.

Sigo teniendo y temos nuestras deidades Natavara Nitay que nos cuidan mucho.. y son muy misericordiosas. Mi hijo juega con ellas por ejemplo, nuestro estandar es pésimo pero es.. y es hermoso. Abajo le dejó un vídeo hecho por Luis mi compañero.

Creo que sigo aprendiendo y la maternidad me ha prermitido empatizar y distinguir mucho más . Al mismo tiempo me he vuelto muy vulnerable y débil a los miedos.. se lo que me falta..el mahamantra ,pero al mismo tiempo me desprende tanto de este mundo que llega un punto que nada tiene sentido y ahora tengo un hijo , necesito también esa pasión por el mundo.. que te lastima a la vez. Entonces hacemos un poco .. y espero volver pronto.. soy un hipócrita y tengo que tolerarme,pero siento que es lo que está bien para mi.. si estoy muy confundida me gustaría saberlo..

Pienso ,vagamente quizás, que no siempre nos toca ser héroes y hacer todo bien ,eso es muy lindo si.. pero se y siento en mi que soy un sirviente y que estás cosas pasan y nos enseñan.

Usted es una gran guía para mi y alguien a quien sigo comprendiendo por la gracia de krshna ,sin embargo espero en algún tiempo poder estar más cerca .

Hasta la proxima GM

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru Maharj, AgtSP.

I have not written to you for a long time, there is not much to say.

HpS - As long as we can breath we can chant, and chanting will take us to another realization of what is actually happening. Jaya!

Not now, but hey, there were some changes, us; me, my son and husband are fine.

ASA - ! 👍

We came to live in France three months ago now, we are glued to Switzerland, on the edge. They loaned us a beautiful house that was too big.

Soon, we will hardly be able to go to the HK farm in Tours and there is also the temple in Paris, everything is nearby if you have a vehicle. Just take prasadam and listen to kirtan, I hope the spiritual humor around these places is not so foreign.

I still have and fear our Natavara Nitay deities who take great care of us .. and are very merciful. My son plays with them for example, our standard is lousy but it is ... and it is beautiful. Below is a video made by Luis my partner.

I think I'm still learning and motherhood has allowed me to empathize and distinguish much more. At the same time I have become very vulnerable and weak to fears .. I know what I lack .. the mahamantra, but at the same time it detaches me so much from this world that there comes a point that nothing makes sense and now I have a child, I need also that passion for the world .. that hurts you at the same time. So we do a little bit .. and I hope to come back soon .. I am a hypocrite and I have to tolerate myself, but I feel that it is what is right for me .. if I am very confused I would like to know it ..

I think, vaguely perhaps, that we don't always have to be heroes and do everything right, that's very nice if ... but I know and feel in me that I am a servant and that these things happen and they teach us.

You are a great guide for me and someone whom I continue to understand by the grace of Krishna, however I hope at some time to be closer.

Until next GM

HpS - If Krsna wants you to abandon your child that is the best, but usually He is very, very practical. Chant one round every day, no???
