Letters to the editor

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and your glorious service.

I was very blessed to get your holy association when you visited ISKCON Houston during your holy auspicious Vyas Puja celebration. I am very happy I was able to get the association of my godbrothers and godsisters, from all over the USA and other countries.

HpS - We also met Mrs. Aja-govind Das, no? We can't remember exactly. If our memory serves us she was a very nice person.

Guru Maharaj, you have inspired devotees all over the world, even with the use of web and video conferencing and tele-conferencing tools. I remember attending your Bhakti Shashtri and Bhagavatam sessions using Zoom and other tele-conferencing tools. This really inspired me.

Now with the Corona virus outbreak, I also started using Web Video Conferencing with Skype for our Vedanta Student Club at Texas A&M University - Kingsville (TAMU-K).

We started our online Skype weekly Bhagavad-gita readings today and will continue this online every Tuesday evening. We were able to connect over Skype to students who already graduated from TAMU-K and read Bhagavad-gita with them also.

Thank you for inspiring us with your great example of using web and tele-conferencing tools to read Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. Your glorious and illustrious example has inspired many generations to come.

Your humble aspiring servant,

Aja Govinda dasa

HpS - Jaya! Maybe soon many will be returning to village centered life, and then it will be easy to isolate Pandemics, talk to your neighbor and have time to develope mystic powers! (Eg. piezolectric crystals in our pineal glands.

Please read the K Dh and put the KDPC from their in your reports!!! ! We need your mercy!!! We need your student's mercy!

Hare Krishna dear Maharaja!

Please, accept my respectful obeisances...

AGTSP

I hope you are as healthy as is possible...

HpS - We are. AGTSP!. Now is months after you sent this letter! 2020 April 7. We are 72-years old and can die at any moment from heart fault, influenza, brain stroke etc, but more and more intelligent! 😎

I'm writing to you to sent the link to the post that Dr. File made on his social networks about the meeting with you. He is very bussy on TV right now, just like last year after you leaved Chile; that time, a few days after, he appeared on the cover page of a very big newspaper (his first important cover page), and I know that was just because of Your association and Krishna... 

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EWkK4gvkE/

He wrote the next text to complement the images:

"Chile is no longer in the darkness of oblivion. We walk towards unity. Protests in the streets are an indication of the need for a respiritualization to change the demonic face of society. Thank you Hanumatpresaka Swami and friends for the hospitality and a space of spirituality in the middle of an insane asylum. Hare Krishna"

My wikipedia account still blocked... I have not done new efforts to solve that... I will try next days, probably this coming weekend. Please Maharaja forgive me...

Your disciple Arjuna Das asked me to upload on Monkey Warrior blog his offering to you at your Vyasa Puja day. So, here it goes:

"AGTSP Pamho Gurudeva. Eternal thanks to you, You are an example to me about how to occupy everything to help in the mission of Srila Prabhupada, always, in body and soul. Eternal thanks to You, because You allow us to be part of this movement, always giving us Your mercy and just because of Your mercy I can keep fighting and trying to keep myself free from criticizing and offending.

I'm chanting 16 rounds every day and keeping 4 principles, also working on Education and The Sacred, 2020 Project.

I hope I can satisfy You.

Your eternal servant, 

Arjuna Das."

That day (night), your Vyasa Puja, I saw the ceremony from Houston through Youtube alive channel, and I shared (whatsapp) the link with some of your disciples. Ceremony Was beautiful... especially the cake!

HpS - It was incredible!! Could only tolerate it as an offering to Srila Prabhupada, that he can make a Mercedes from a bicycle! Once in a lifetime is enough. Somebody else can be The Guru next time.

Here in Chile people keep fighting against the corrupt neoliberal government, and the police still killing and doing more other darkest things... big fires in Australia, Brasil, also in Chile (Valparaíso) a few days ago... the whole world is burning... I heard some times from some devotees "Kali Yuga is moving along forward very fast"... I read a news from China a few hours ago about a chinesse scientist who made some "genetical edition" to alterate the aspects of 2 embryos and gave the announcement "now we can create genetically edited human beings"...

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/30/business/china-scientist-genetic-baby-prison.html

And they still creating wars, violating nature, enslaving all living entities... they have took possession of all religious institutions to drive people away from the relationship with God... and playing to supplant Krishna, but doing it in the worst possible way... this is what human being is about on this planet...

I'm so confused living in this world, more than never before... but I will keep on my fighting and trying to do my best untill my last breath... and I just hope and ask to God that I be able to remind Krishna, Srila Prabhupada and Hanumatpresaka Swami in that moment...

Thank you for everything you do for us... eternal gratitude to your lotus feet...

Your aspiring servant.

HpS - Thank you. Yes, Kali-yuga will progress. Spring will be followed by Summer, Fall and WINTER!! but we are so fortunate to have Srila Prabhupada's mercy, instructions!!! Am I right? Where would you be if he had not entered your life!! So rains Kali-yuga will come ... but ... we have umbrella and can give them to others, and if enough people want then Krsna will send a Maharaja Pariksit, but mostly we think that this Age is good to push us our, like Maharaja Pariksit, and give chance to "learn the hard way" to others.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva!

Agt Guru and Gauranga!

Sorry I wrote you so often, I just wanted to tell You a few things about the drawing and the Karuna virus, which may help many devotees to protect themselves from it, in addition to other diseases.

They are links that in my opinion are very useful, because they come from people who are highly trusted for their personal work and humanitarian actions as far as I know. And much more if you compare it with the pharmaceutical debase bill killers.

Now I would like to leave you the link to a video about a painter, who even says with his painting that he finds it hard to remember the work he has done in the past, as if time was only the present. Why do we underestimate people so much that in their field of action they demonstrate that the soul can live on much higher planes than matter, and that they are like little proofs that there are other planes as different scriptures explain?

On the next full moon I write to you.

Hare Krsna Maharaja.

Que tenga buenos días, con buen tiempo, y buena salud.

Hari Hari!!!

HpS - Thank you!!! AGTSP. We missed these letters some how!!!!!

Hare Krsna dear Maharaj! 

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

Please accept my humble obeisances! 

All glories to you on your appearance day. I hope you always have good health to continue being the Awesome Guru that you are. I really hope you come to visit Australia some time soon. Otherwise, when I get a job, I can travel to where you are. Please bless me so that I may always remain Krsna conscious and be of service to Guru and Gauranga!

I was in India for a month actually and it was really amazing!!! Also not very money friendly hahaha. Almost all of my savings are gone. So I’ll be looking for a job come New Years. 

Sorry I haven’t written to you in a looong time. Actually I always think about what I will say but I never do. I should not just think but also do!!! This can be by New Years resolution. 

Anyway, actually my laptop is in repair right now so it’s not the easiest to type a lot. When I get it back, I have a lot to share about India and some other things. 

So, again dear Maharaj, I wish you all the best. I remember my father saying something about not being too sentimental about such things. So I’m just trying to be as simple as possible I guess. 

Our whole family sends their regards and wishes and we all miss you. Hopefully, by Krsna’s grace, we can meet again. 

Also, I would like to thank you for everything you have done. You are always there to help me when I need it and I’m very grateful. Thank you!!

The Harinam party continues, GAURANGA!!

Yours servant, 

Lakshmi 

HpS - Thank you. AGTSP.... paoho... We are in Boise, now! We hope you are realizing the importance completely reawakening our K. C.! We are all going to die. It is how we live that counts, no? Any more letters from you? We will look. Please read our "News" at www.JayaRama.US

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

During this karuna virus situation, family and myself are fine. Doing garden work, japa, puja, etc.

We organized an online sanga through Zoom where local devotees meet, read and discuss. I wanted to ask you if you will be willing to give a talk on Zoom for this sanga, and of course for whomever would like to join ? I did not discuss this with others, first I wanted to ask you.

HpS - AgtSP and his moon beams like you! Yes, we are willing, now lettuce c if the assembled Vaishavas are willing and then, THEN, T H E N lettuce C if Lord Krsna is willing!!!!!

I tried to connect with you through WhatsApp, but I do not see you there, even though I put your phone number into my phone contacts.

HpS - What mumber do you halve? Hey!!! We got your whatsapp and ansewered, no??

I also understand that you have different online programs online on GoTo meeting, but on different time schedules. Zoom meeting would need to be around evening time in Europe (cca. 6 to 8 PM).

HpS - We would have to see what is possible. Maybe you can have your Engineer beam us up!

I do not want to burden you with this request, and will happily accept any of your decision.

Thank you!

Your servant,

Namacarya Das

HpS - The only burden is that someone might think it is a burden. We are eternaly indebted to you for taking us on a tour of India.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Querido Gurudeva, no me distingo por escribir bellas cartas para ti. Solo quiero darte las gracias por tantos detalles y actividades que definen tu personalidad.

Gracias por levantarte por la madrugada mientras todos duermen todos los días, gracias por cantar los nombres de Dios todo el tiempo y que con la dulzura de tu voz cualquier persona pecaminosa puede sentir atracción por cantar también los dulces nombres de Krishna. Por responder amorosamente y pacientemente cientos de cartas al mes. Por escuchar nuestras quejas, historias y problemas cotidianos. Por tus viajes constantes y con ello purificas cada lugar que tocan tus divinos pies. Por siempre dar lo mejor de ti aún cuando no te sientes bien, estás cansado o enfermo o por lo que implica tener ya un cuerpo de 71 años.

Gracias por demostrar tanta sencillez, aún que, a simple vista se puede ver lo grandioso que eres.

Cuando estás en casa nunca pides nada especial, siempre dices estar bien y te muestras constantemente agradecido. Lo que comes es simple y sencillo, tu vestir también, lo que requieres para ti es mínimo y te gusta compartir con los demás, que estén bien y felices sirviendo a Krishna.

Gracias por bendecirnos con tu presencia y tu existencia en sí misma.

No me cansaré de repetir que si hay algo bueno en mí, es sin duda gracias a ti.

Tu sirviente Gopi Radha DD. 

ASA - Gracias!!!! Somos productos de la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada
