Letters to the editor

Dear Guru Maharaja:

All glories to Sri Sri Radha Krsna

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you

Please accept my humble obeisances

Immeasurable, is the word I choose to describe my gratitude to you, to your instructions, to your service. Undoubtedly, the debt to the spiritual master is priceless, but I plan to dedicate my life to trying to settle it. No one ever gave me what you have given me, such a high purpose to live for, the determination to want to serve Srila Prabhupada under any circumstances, in addition to such a loving and patient guide in my spiritual life that makes me feel that I am blooming. Day after day you encourage me to serve the mission of Lord Caitanya, and instill in me a deep desire to want to improve my service.

When I see him singing the holy names, dancing in ecstasy, singing and playing musical instruments I feel very happy, happy that you are my spiritual master, of being able to serve you and of being part of this sankirtan movement.

Thanks to you, I remember every day the ultimate goal of life, Krsna prema. I have no doubt that under your guidance I will achieve that goal.

I celebrate the glorious day of its appearance with great enthusiasm, the joy that its existence causes me has no comparison.

Your servant

Kirtida Devi Dasi

HpS - Thank you!!! AgtSP!!!!!!! paoho. Send some current news to the Blog using the KDPC listed in the current Kapi Dhvaja (Letters to the Editor). Thank you. We cannot be in Chile physically, but now we are focusing on it electronically!!!!!

Dear Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

How are you?

HpS - ASA -- Brother Ass has a headache, but finds happiness and stimulation is the association of devotees like the superhuman Spanish Yatra.

During these lockdown days, I am trying to get connected to some of your programs in GotoMeeting. I have to thank you for this opportunity to listen to your explanations.

This is the week 6 inside the house. For me, it has been a difficult task at first, but now I am getting used to it, and I am realizing that I can spend more time reading, chanting or playing the harmonium.

I am still working. Everyday, from 9 to 14, I have online classes with the kids, and after that, some meetings. It’s been a little bit more difficult to talk to them about Krishna because I only have 20 minutes with each of them, but, for Ramachandra, we made an origami flower.

HpS - I think Sita Rama must have thought those were the best gives They got from anyone!

Every Sunday, we continue to do the Matajis Sanga on Skype (chant one round, read Krishna Book, talk about something interesting that any of us read or heard about Krishna and then we share some recipes).

On Tuesday, we meet with other devotees to read and extract a verse of Srila Prabhupada’s books. And, Friday, another meeting with devotees where we sing and Jayanta gives a lecture.

This is what I am doing right now.

HpS - More, more!!! Come out of the closet, this body, wake up to the big world of Vaikuntha!

Thank you again for your online meetings and this Blog.

Your aspirant to be a humble servant,

Purnamasi devi dasi

HpS - Can you write a short article for the next Viplavah? Send a little summary by next week and then we can get it finished by 15th? It will be read by educators all over ISKCON and interested people. When you are an old, old, lady what do you hope, expect, to see as the result of your educational efforts with primary school kids? Both with individuals and the utopia system that might develop?

You can write it in Spanish or English. We will edit the English if need be. Other topics are fine. Your own choice or another one would be what are the special aspects of education as people grow up until 12-years old? How is primary education different for boys and girls?....

Hare Krsna querido Gurudev

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Deseo se que se encuentra bien y feliz ,

HpS - Que Krsna es bien y feliz! En un juego con Sus amigitos!

. . . . perdoneme por escribirle después de mucho tiempo, siempre está en mi corazón y a través de sus clases puedo relacionarme con usted, yo estoy bien de salud (salvo los pequeños achaques propios de una madre de 56 años jajaja) en casa con la familia , mi esposo Jana Pavana das y yo estamos tomando el curso de Bakthi Sastri el profesor es Prabhu Gandharva Das y cada clase es un nectar, continuamos con el sadhana y hacemos adoracion una vez al dia a nuestras deidades Sri Jaganatha, Baladeva y Subadra y el señor Nrsimha .

HpS - Ya es una buena dia morir! Ir a Goloka.

A los devotos de Sri Krishna, no nos perturba esta situación de la pandemia porque el único controlador es el Señor Supremo, estamos acatando las recomendaciones del gobierno, no nos es posible distribuir prasadam (alfajores y otros dulces de nuestra empresa " Tulasi") sin embargo por la misericordia del Señor no nos falta prasadam en nuestra mesa, estamos utilizando el ingenio y la creatividad para seguir cubriendo lo necesario para nuestra familia.

HpS - Ja! Ja!! Pero, mejor morir y ir a casa, no?

Muchas gracias Gurudeva, por sus enseñanzas, por estar siempre para sus discipulos .

Que el señor Supremo lo bendiga siempre y el señor Nrsmha lo proteja.

Hasta pronto querido Gurudeva

Lavanya Mangala dd

Su sirviente del sirviente del sirviente

HpS - ASA -- Esperamos que el pero feroz de su vecino toma Prasadam, oiga, Kirtan y convertir en un tipo muy feliz! Much predica!!

Hare Krsna Dear Guru Maharaj,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus [lettuce] feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

  Am very happy and grateful to Gaura-Nitai for two bags of groceries there at your porch.

  You are witness of such many many reciprocation of Lord.

  If you still remember the airplane incident. Where airplane went up slowly after your japa.

your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Do not remember 'airplane incident'. The presence of death is very apparent when we are flying, no?? Every bead a Gopi, who wants to dance with Shyama! Knead them and rub them and feed them as they dance along! What amazing plan does Krsna have for your life????

Hare Krishna

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to Sri Gaura Nitai

Please Maharaja, accept my most humble obeisances

Its been a while since i last wrote you,

ASA - Us also!!

but i´ve been keeping track of your wherebouts thanks to Parasurama Prabhu and Bhakta Hector Prabhu, thanks to them that also have helped me so much thru my process.

i hope you are in good health and doing good.

HpS - Like yours!

As for me i´m still in Panama, its been 2 years and a half now and im amazed how fast time is going!

As my mind got trouble and rebelious i took a step back (again) and i feel like everytime im close to start doing things right i bounce back to my worst behaviors. I also feel very tired most of the times , in general, i can call it laziness, and i feel in ignorance, i wasnt following any principles for the last 6 months...i also stopped going to the temple...

HpS - The Evil One got you!!

... but around two weeks ago something [God] shook me out and started chanting again, and back in order to start following principles again.. i dont feel completly guilty, its like an internal battle between i know what i should do and why i dont do it the right way. Im tired of being tired, lazy and mediocre...

why is it easier for certain people and for others is so hard?

HpS - The same reason it will be easy for you in the next lifetime, because whatever progress you do you take with you!

can all this tireness and laziness come from also being supressing a depression?

HpS - Maybe!

thank you Maharaja for the precious time you take to read all this that i put out about my troubled mind.

ASA - Sorry so slow to answer. We are lazy, but also can't answer while traveling. Too many personal consultations! Read the Kapi Dhvaja. www.JayaRama.US!! You are way ahead of many people on the planet! Become better. Become a Doctor.

Hare Krsna Querido Gurudeva....

Todas las glorias Srila Prabhupada y a Usted!!!! PAMHO

Estamos en el dia 25 de cuarentena obligatoria ( y nos han ampliado a dos semanas mas)... Estamos dando las clases virtuales a nuestros estudiantes todos los dias en las mañanas...
