Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I want to show you a draft of a Gurukula project I have. I would appreciate a lot if you could give me a feedback, opinion, advice or perspective of it.

asa - ha! ha! hare! monkey and piggy advice! buy a bicycle for everyone.

Teaching at University showed me that It is better to focus in education of children from 10 to 17 years old. They are mature enough to manifest their nature/varna, and young enough to modify their character.

asa - Jaya!

I think in a school as a complement to the national educational system, and for everybody, not only Iskcon children. With a central department which manifests everything, and schools everywhere.

asa - functional. we never went to the moon, women are less intelligent, black people are sinful, women like men who are expert a rape, God is a very large red Hog with a big club, carbon dating is wrong, people did live to be 1000 years, the sun is closer to the earth than the moon. After school education!!! 😎 Srila Prabhupada left a little work for us.

Please, devotees with experience in the educational field (Purnamasi dd, Radhika Raman, Laksman Agraja, Gandharva, Abhiram Takhur Prabhus, etc) also your input is welcome.

This is the link to download a pitch of the project. (if you can not download it, please tell me where I can send it)

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

Quiero mostrarle un borrador de un proyecto de Gurukula que tengo. Le agradecería mucho si pudiera darme su aporte, opinión, consejo o perspectiva.

La enseñanza en la Universidad me mostró que es mejor centrarse en la educación de niños de 10 a 17 años. Son lo suficientemente maduros para manifestar su naturaleza / varna, y lo suficientemente jóvenes como para modificar su carácter.

Pienso en una escuela como complemento del sistema educativo nacional, y para todos, no solo para los niños de Iskcon. Con un departamento central que manifiesta todo, y escuelas en todas partes.

Por favor, devotos con experiencia en el campo educativo (Purnamasi dd, Radhika Raman, Laksman Agraja, Gandharva, Abhiram Takhur Prabhus, etc.) también sus comentarios son bienvenidos.

Este es el enlace para descargar una presentación del proyecto. (si no puede hacerlo, por favor indicar donde podemos enviarlo)

Hare Krsna Gurudev, please accept my humble obeisances ____o_

All glories to Srila Prabhupada🌷

All glories to you🌼

Because of you, I begin to understand Srila Prabhupada's books. I remember hearing your classes for the first time and feeling how everything became to have sense and depth meaning.

Because of your effort to keep us busy in Krishna consciousness, to constantly inspire us, to be so exemplary and transparent is reason that I can make some advance in spiritual life.

Your words guide me through this vast philosophy, in which I would be lost if it weren't for the perspective you show us.

The power of your realizations give strength to my faith.

You are a living proof that this process is genuine and works. Your unconditional love, your patience and generosity feed my bhakti creeper, which struggles to grow in the middle of so many weeds.

I want to offer you my existence, I want to leave all selfishness, illusion and obstacles to be a useful particle in this great Sankirtan movement.

🌼

P/D: Happy Birthday!!

HpS - Thank you. Trying to answer all the letters!! Thank you, but 90% of our potency is just the mercy of Srila Prabhupada to do something with bad tools! AgtSP~~~ You explain things in your circle now! "Yare dekha tare kaha..."

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

Todas las glorias a Usted.

Gracias a usted es que pude comenzar a entender los libros de Srila Prabhupada. Recuerdo escuchar sus primeras clases y sentir como todo cobraba sentido y mayor profundidad. 

Gracias a su esfuerzo en mantenernos ocupados, en constantemente inspirarnos, en ser tan ejemplar y transparente, que yo puedo hacer algún avance. 

Sus palabras me van guiando en medio de esta filosofía tan vasta, en la cual estaría perdida si no fuera por la perspectiva que usted nos muestra. 

La potencia de sus realizaciones fortalecen mi fe.

Usted es la prueba viviente de que este proceso es genuino y funciona. Su amor incondicional, su paciencia y generosidad alimentan mi planta del bhakti, que lucha por crecer en medio de tantas malas hierbas.

Quiero ofrendarle mi existencia, Quiero desprenderme de todo el egoismo, de la ilusion y las trabas para ser una partícula útil en este gran movimiento de Sankirtan.

Su aprendiz de sirviente

At the end of this message: proposal of new text about Dr. Samaresh biography for Wikipedia.

Thank you very much for letting me try to be an instrument of our Eternal Lord.

I just wanna be your servant,

Carlos.

HpS - ASA --- Thank you for the patience to deal with our sincere but slow moving efforts. Thank you. Sent your the very nice PDF of the award ceremony for Professor and the accompanying bio-data. If you integrate that with this information, especially citing a source besides NIOS, then it should pass the Wiki-police, no?

Hare Krishna Querido Gurumaharaja... Como esta?

HpS - Jaya!!! Mismo como describiendo en el Kapi Dhvaja. Luchando con lujuria el cambiando de un cuerpo a otro, predicando!

Estamos aquí en nuestra Cubil (casa). Hoy cumplimos 55 días en cuarentena. El presidente anuncio que estaremos dos semanas mas (hasta el 24/may).

Continuamos dando clases diarias de manera virtual, es mucho más agotador. En la pedagogía que trabajamos no estamos de acuerdo con la exposición excesiva de las pantallas, asi que estamos haciendo un equilibrio de horas.

EL BOLETIN YA ESTA LISTO!!! en español e ingles a la pagina de facebook

Gracias por la gran oportunidad de servicio

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances and all glories to Srila Prabhupada. Maharaj, my marriage was arranged by my Krsna conscious superiors. I experience frequent physical violence in this marriage for 2 years. Is it right for me to continue on like this?

Your aspiring servant,

YajnaseniDD

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna! AGTSP paoho. Of course, this is a frequent encounter and yet one question is who is being violent. I knew one person very intimately who was never physically violent with his wife during marriage, but she bit him with intention to do physical damage two or three times.

Of course, it maybe the exact opposite with your situation. Maybe the husband is biting the wife.

Eventually she filed for divorce because she required him to eat meat with the family etc and he told her in strong terms that he would never do it.

Talking with him many years later he felt that she was actually a very nice person, but neither of them knew how to adjust the social situation back in 1974. At that time if you were a vegetarian in here common, family society it meant that you were probably a Communist or a Homosexual also!

Knowing what he knows now, he feels pretty certain he could have adjusted things.

Looking in our asa-encyclopedia we found the best source are the Verses and Purports starting with SB 7.11.25. They are fanstastic.

Please read and discuss them (with your other real advisors), and please give us some more thoughts on the matter.
