Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila prabhupada,

Once again I have the great fortune of being able to try to glorify you on the auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja. It is an honor that a soul as insignificant as I, can have such a close association with a person like you, who is famous on almost the entire planet. I do not know for sure, but I believe that except in Africa you are known and appreciated in all the continents of this planet.

HpS - It is a surprise to us. Putin is famous like that or maybe infamous? Maybe the Pope is famous like that. We are a little bit know here and there by the undeviating mercy of Srila Prabhupada to make a devotee out of mud.

Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati said that in each incarnation one has a father and a mother but not in all of them one is fortunate to find a spiritual master. You Gurudeva are my good fortune, a faithful representative of our Founder Acharya, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. You make the teachings and the relationship with Srila Prabhupada more intimate and direct. You make one able to decipher the mysteries and the power of the message our Acharya brought to us.

As Srila Prabhupada explains in his purport to Bhagavad Gita 18.75, the mystery of the disciplic succession is that although the relationship with Krishna is indirect, the experience is direct. My relationship with you makes me feel that kind of love, the one that can only come from Krishna. That state of consciousness that is definitely spiritual, that generates such a deep satisfaction in the heart. That love, that even though one commits so many faults, you seem not to see them or not to take them into account, but always reciprocating with a loving attitude. Pushing one to improve in his spiritual practice. To one day being able to achieve the precious goal.

I wish Gurudev that your glorious sankirtan, which I call 'Krishna Sarva Loka', for Its excellence, intelligence and the ability to reach all kinds of different audiences, keep expanding. Wherever you go, Gurudev people adore you, people can not forget you, because you are a legitimate and faithful follower of Srila Prabhupada. You follow the teachings of Srila Prabhupada as they are. So then you are empowered, it is evident. With your power you elevate the consciousness of the people and make them want to continue advancing in this process. Thus pushing the mission of Srila Prabhupada within his institution.

Despite the defects that may exist, life within ISKCON is pure nectar. There I have my friends and shelter. You are my light house Gurudeva. You bring me Srila prabhupada, Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati, Goura Kishora das Babaji, Bhaktivinoda Thakur, the Six Goswamis. You are a faithful representative of the Guru Parampara.

Always prostrate at your lotus feet,

Struggling to never leave your refuge,

Your insignificant servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - AgtSP. Thank you for your words and association. We hope that you become more and more purified and Krsna uses you as His tool in this world more and more. Thank you!!!!! Purify all your connections. Become an Acharya like Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias sean para Srila prabhupada.

Otra vez tengo la gran fortuna de poder estar intentando glorificarlo en el auspicioso día de su Vyasa Puja. Es un honor que un alma tan insignificante como yo, pueda tener una asociación tan cercana con una persona como usted, que es famosa en casi todo el planeta, no lo sé con seguridad, pero creo que excepto en África usted es conocido y apreciado en todos los continentes de este planeta.

Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati dijo qué en cada encarnación uno tiene un padre y una madre pero no en todas, uno tiene la fortuna de encontrar un maestro espiritual. Usted Gurudeva es mi buena fortuna, un fiel representante de nuestro Fundador Acharya, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Usted hace que las enseñanzas y la relación con Srila Prabhupada sea más íntima y directa. Usted hace que uno sea capaz de descifrar los misterios y la potencia del mensaje que nuestro Acharya nos trajo.

Cómo explica Srila Prabhupada en el significado del Bhagavad Gita 18.75 el misterio de la sucesión discipular es que aunque la relación con Krishna es indirecta la experiencia es directa. Mi relación con usted me hace vivir ese amor, aquel que sólo puede provenir de Krishna. Ese estado de conciencia que definitivamente es espiritual, que genera una satisfacción tan profunda en el corazón. Ese amor, que a pesar que uno cometa tantas faltas, usted pareciera no verlas o no tenerlas en cuenta y siempre está reciprocando con una actitud amorosa, que lo único que hace es impulsarlo a uno a querer mejorar en su práctica espiritual y así algún día poder lograr la tan preciada meta.

Deseo Gurudev que su glorioso sankirtan, al que yo llamo 'Krishna Sarva Loka', por su excelencia, por su inteligencia y por el estilo que usted tiene y la capacidad de llegar a todo tipo de público diferente, siga expandiendose. Donde usted va Gurudev la gente lo adora, la gente no se puede olvidar de usted, porque usted es un legítimo y fiel seguidor de Srila Prabhupada. Usted sigue las enseñanzas de Srila Prabhupada tal como son . Asi entonces usted está apoderado, es evidente. Con su potencia usted eleva la conciencia de las personas y hace que quieran seguir avanzando en este proceso y seguir empujando la misión de Srila Prabhupada dentro de su institución.

A pesar de los defectos que puedan existir, la vida dentro de ISKCON es puro néctar. Allí tengo a mis amigos y allí tengo mi refugio. Usted es mi faro Gurudeva. Usted me trae a Srila prabhupada, a Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati, a Goura Kishora das Babaji, a Bhaktivinoda Thakur, a los Seis Goswamis. Usted es un fiel representante del Guru Parampara.

Siempre postrado a sus pies de loto,

Luchando para nunca apartarme de su refugio,

Su insignificante sirviente,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Dear Gurudeva, please, if you wish, accept my humble and respectful obeisances prostrate to your divine lotus feet.

All glories To Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to You Gurudeva.

Another new year I have the wonderful opportunity to try to glorify his heroic activities.

You are the perfect example of the Love that Krishna gives us. With your instructions, actions, words, patience, kindness, looks, smiles, intelligence, austerity, humility, gratitude and above all His Mercy You personify that Love.

The Lord wants us back at home, so he sends his eternal associates intimate to show us the way and the right way to act, to be worthy of his company and it is You who came to rescue us from this Ocean of suffering to take us home sacrificing your welfare at every moment, without rest, accepting all kinds of annoyances and austerities to follow the instruction of Srila Prabhupada whose Lotus Feet he carries in His Heart. There are not many such wonderful people in this world that would be of us without you, I do not even want to imagine.

Dear Gurudeva, my eternal gratitude and attempt to serve His feet, I owe everything to him, for not serving him as he deserves, I sincerely ask him to please allow me to continue trying.

Your unworthy aspiring servant eternal.

Nanda Raja das.

HpS - We do not think that we are an eternal servant of Krsna being sent to save people, rather that we are a rebelious soul who is becoming corrected and doing a little for Srila Prabhupada's moevement. There are many others, like your self. We do indulge in eating, sleeping and recreation to questionable degrees. Maybe they are justified?? But let us always work to minimize these, no? See you soon!

Querido gurudeva en esta ocasión de celebración de su vyasa puja aprovecho una vez mas a agradecerle por tanta misericordia sin causa y ser siempre un fiel servidor de Srila Prabhupada y un medio transparente ayudándome a mi y a tantas mas personas a poder tener una visión de la realidad verdadera, inspirando y llevando adelante a que los devotos puedan tener una vida de consciencia y amor, con simpleza, amabilidad, gentileza, y por sobre todo con palabras sustanciosas y nutritivas que vienen de su realización y ejemplo practico aplicando en su vida las enseñanzas de Srila Prabhupada.

Todo esto se refleja en su carácter, siempre feliz, sin miedo, ocupando cada momento en compartir mas y mas el mensaje de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Yare dekha, tare kaha ´krsna´-upadesa ``con quien quiera que te encuentres, simplemente hablale las instrucciones de Krishna``. (CC madhya lila, 7.128)

Gracias,

Aspirando a servirlo,

HpS - TlgaSP! I hope that you can purify yourself of all material contamination and improve your service more and more.

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP PAMHO

Gurudeva today I did not join FMP because my mom nowadays is at home and me and my sister were assisting her.

Gurudeva I was feeling mixed feelings. Like anger, compassion, fear, love. Because I feel good assisting my mom but I feel fear to just focus on her and not live my life. My sister and I nowadays have a very intense time. We are exhausted. I sometimes think that I am a bad person for having these doubts and mixed feelings. I do not like to feel that my mom is a burden.

I am watching YouTube. I have found a channel of a priest who is a Saint Francis follower. He is very nice. His preaching is through YouTube. My soul feels refresh watching these kind of things

When I was a kid I used to have the desire to be a nun. I guess I will be a nun with Glamour haha

Gurudeva tomorrow you start your tour. So what will happen with FMP??? You asked me to write about this on the blog.

I hope to survive during your tour. Hope to travel with You pretty soon .

I have very nice pictures. I will figure it out how to upload them

Your insignificant servant

Cmdd

HpS - Hare Krsna. I guess your feelings are natural. Our current cultural does not educate us how to deal with these natural things. Pretty stupid culture. So work them out yourself with chanting, association of devotees and keeping association with Srila Prabhupada in his books! In the end it will have good result.

FMP. We just did it here alone in Mumbai. RGD got back at 12PM from program. Thank you for writing here. Thank you so much. I guess we have to smile and say, the obvious answser is that we don't know. Here we are in Mumbai after several days and three airports and we are just trying to get internet and telephone etc.

Would you like to be the Organizer? Anyone else? It may be a lot for you, though my experience has been that even in the middle of very stressfull programs, doing the FMP alone while 7-other devotees slept later, it was always very good. I was able to deal with the other programs so much more intelligently and with physical vigor.

You? Others?

We have not had a lot of communication in planning this trip, so now that we are here and can call people, and that we are arriving in a few days in the different Yatras, many things are starting to happen.

Actually, if no one sees any contribution that we can make to their Sankirtan, then it is not necessary for us to travel and visit. Of course, we will continue to look and see how we can contribute, but in general, we do not need to stay in this illusion, no? Your Mother is not dying. Her cell phone is dying.

HpS - ASA in Seawood, New Bombay!! Nice weather here.

Querido Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

Este sábado 12 de enero, fue el día de su cumpleaños (cumpleaños de Huber Hutchin Robinson). Ese día tuvimos fiesta de Vyasa Puja en el templo de Santiago.

HHR - Hare Krsna!! Reverencias a Srila Prabhupada.

Para saber de usted leemos Kapy Dhvaja y este blog monkey warrior.

Entonces esta carta es muy breve. Entendemos muy bien cuando usted escribe "Our eyes are very strained now. We can push but we will go blind even sooner".

Muchas veces me toca revisar libros en pdf o en word antes que los libros vayan a imprenta, y mis ojos quedan muy muy cansados.

Es misericordia infinita y sin causa el que yo pueda relacionarme con usted. Realmente soy muy afortunado, muy afortunado en tener la misericordia de poder servirlo y recibir sus bendiciones. Gracias por tanta misericordia sin causa.

Cuando yo escribo poesía muchas veces uso el método surrealista de escritura automática.

Muchas veces el poeta transcribe lo que recibe desde su propio interior o transcribe la información que llega desde fuera.

Los surrealistas 'trabajan' con el inconsciente (subconsciente), pero me he dado cuenta que los devotos escuchan a 'Paramatma' y luego escriben.

Hace años (¿yo?) escribí este poema para usted:

Tantos ritos encontrados a lo largo de la historia

señales divinas en plena edad de la inocencia

pasajeros renunciantes a las joyas de este mundo

profetas encontrados en la sinceridad de la vida

almas realizadas en plena canción de Dios.

*Tengo algunas preguntas y me gustaría escribir a usted tal vez en 20 días más, cuando ya haya leído las ofrendas de Vyasa Puja de todos sus discípulos y bienquerientes.

Infinitas gracias y reverencias,

Dandavats,

Bhakta Rodrigo Hernández Piceros

HHR - Gracias. Entiendo Espanyol como Vd entiendas ingles? Ha! Ha! Ha! 20-Dias. Tiene que enteneder quien eres tu. Entonces va a tener tu poder. Que es sufieciente para tu. !!
