Letters to the editor

Hare Krisna Gurudev, please accept our humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

If you want you can send pictures ([email protected], or +549223580xxx) of your bellybutton so we can share with qualified dermathologist for further diagnosis and treatment options.

At your service,

Nikunja Bihari das.

ASA - Thank you. We are consulting with five different doctors now and the last is Big Dermatologist who has been very successful in dealing with devotees in the past.

Nasty pills twice a day after meals, and nasty ointment twice a day after bath.

Defnitely is not getting worse.

Our Sadhana bhakti is getting better.

Most of that is honoring Prasadam properly, and for us that means properly associating with devotees.

Today we had some fruit from Radha Shyamasundara's Srngara arati Bhoga.

Then for lunch 2-cups of popcorn with p-nuts and some Kitri with 90% no spices, etc.

Balanced Pitta and alergies should go away, no?

Hare Krsna, gurudev.

Kindly accept my pranam at your lotus feet.

ASA/gurudeva - Lettuce feet. Proper but limited Pranams due to us and to you!!

AGTSP

ASA - Yes, all glories to Srila Prabhupada (NoI - 4, 5, 6).

Gurudev this is request to humbly ask you if it will be possible to bless me with the 2nd initiation mantras again.

I have improved since before and have reached a level of confidence that this time I will be able to maintain the standards.

If Krsna and Radha allow, I wish to come to Radha kund to participate in your vyasa puja. I hope to reach by 19th evening.

Thank you

HpS - So nice to have some fluid communication with you after so much time!

Of course, we want to be of any service we can to your respected self, including being Mantra guru w/i our capacity, but we just need to discuss the details and considerations.

Our building is filling up fast, but Vipin bihari and Ranchor Das are finding accomodations for devotees here.

Hope you have contact with H. G. Mukunda also.

👍👍👍

AGTSP.

As you may have heard, Brother Ass's Belly Button is bright red and producing a little oozing for maybe two weeks now.

We agree with Prabhodananda Sarasvati that it is better to die of starvation, exposure, or rot from innumerable diseases than teave Vrndavana Dhama (ISKCON [stop chanting Holy Names]), yet without giving up our worship of the Holy Dhama, and accepting Krsna's decision to kill us and send us to another body, we should try to deal with these problems of the body within our medical capacity.

1. Arun Chakraborty, highly decorated Ayurvedic doctor and very nice Krsna devotee, diagnosed the problem as fungal infection and first put us on an anti-fungal cream. It apparently did nothing. - Round One to the Invader.
2. He then suggested going on ten days of anti-biotic which did nothing but seemed to give us expected stomach pains and general weakness. - Round Two to the invader.
3. Vipin suggest Detol (?) regular Indian antibiotic soap, which we would have taken as first treatment, but now because the inflamation is chronic, we will adopt it casually along with other medical advice.
4. We sent the case study to our Primary Care Physician, Dr. Amit Singh, who he says, we met as a Gurukula boy in Vancouver Temple, but is now adult with two daughters, and he agreed that a lab test might be in order and it was probably bacteria. We also have some inflamation in one point n the mouth which is recurrent, but seems a little more vigorous, and in general we wonder if this is a result of constant submission to the AQI of 150+ in India, Radha-kunda coupled with our 70% Pitta nature.
5. Majority decision of local devotees was to visit Dr. Anil Agrawaal in Mathura at his very robust dermatology clinic. It was a three hour excursion with Ranchor and Krsna Swarupa Das (how is Krsna Loka??) and he put us infront of 20-other paitents waiting for the days interviews and promptly diagnosed our red Belly-button as allergic reaction. He gave us after-breakfast and lunch tablets, and morning and evening topical creams and said come back in 15-days.

There is no pain or itching, but it does look little frightful, like something from an Alien sci-fi movie.

So, that's the news on our Buddy, Body, Burro. We hope this satisfys the many enquiries, and the satisfaction that we feel in Vrndavana Dhama is so substantial that we can realize that if we use too much energy trying to perfect our body, which is designed of recycleable material, and don't use it to wake up to Gokula. Goloka then we are silly asses.

• Vrndavana Dhama Ki Jai!
• IKSCON, Ki Jay!
• Yuga-dharma, Nama-Sankirtan, Ki Jai!

👍👍🦍👍👍

Dear Maharaj, PAMHO AGTSP!

I'm staying in BC ashram in Madrid.

HpS - AgtSP! What does BC mean???

Aaaah! Brahmacarini?!! I didn't know they had one.

Coordinating with Yadunanda M on odissi dance performance of Dasavatar and workshop.

Generally, I teach a 3 week, 4hrs/day, $12/hr, $870/student workshop (we would like to offer a percentage to temple from this). 1 month however might not be enough time for 3 week workshop registrations. I don’t know much about the cultural inclination of the community. We wanted your input. Should we do 3 week intensive training, 3 weekends only training or both? We are also in communication with Yadunandana M.

ys,

SM DD

HpS/asa - What does the Dhruva Das think?

To us, at least fifteen practical questions come to mind immediately. Cannot possibly answer without our ancient, tiny cerebral engine collapsing.

It would seem that AT LEAST you need a professional devotee sponsor to evaluate, promote and organize the program.

Without that it would seem like it would be a totally experimental program.

Which is O.K!

That is pioneering, which can mean finding abundant riches or deserts barren of all life whatsoever.

If we do the work of chanting, Krsna gives us intelligence.

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Guru y Gauranga

Todas las Glorias al sankirtana de Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, pamho, estoy viviendo en templo de iskcon san borja ya casi 6 meses, esto lo planee y termino el año cumpliendo mi meta de servir al Señor Jaganatha Balarama y Subadra. Ahora viajaré donde se encuentran mis padres y estar con ellos soy una mujer que le gusta la familia y la armonia en la familia, entonces quiero estar con ellos. Y tambien aprovechare en estudiar ingles.

Mi sadhana durante 6 meses fue mangala artik 4.30 am, 4 principios, 16 y un poquito mas de rondas, servicio de cocina y gaura artik, food for life, sankirtana de libros, harinams.

Me siento muy feliz aqui en el templo... me siento tranquila, prabhu Agnideva estuvo aqui en el templo una semana y pude servirlo y escuchar su buen canto y sus clases... creo que sin tan buena asociacion no hubiera recuperado el entusiasmo espiritual.

M.ganga Mayi d.d. es mi actual autoridad y su familia es muy linda... en verdad me siento muy feliz y agradecida por el ambiente espiritual que me brindaron.

Hice el bhisma pancaka con frutas y agua... buenos ekadasis, mi yapa ha mejorado, mi lectura de a poco va mejorando, y ahora ingiero pocos alimentos, en las noches no como, pero esto es natural en mi cuerpo he aprendido a comer lo necesario.😊

He aprendido en el templo a ser comprensiva y compasiva y controlar mi temperamento.

Tambien estoy aprendiendo a perdonar.

Con respecto a mi asram... en varias ocasiones le escribi el motivo de mi divorcio pero de una u otra manera nunca le lleguó mis cartas 😥, asi que yo tomé la decision de divorciarme.

Hablando astrologicamente soy una chica manglik que tiene a marte en la casa 4, y el haberme casado con una devoto que no es manglik pudo generar divorcio o que El devoto se quede viudo. Astrologicamente nunca fuimos compatibles, pero siempre tengo lo mejor que hicimos mucho sankirtana y servicio y estoy agradecida con El.

Siento que todas las cosas malas y buenas que me pasan krsna sabe porque lo hace y no tengo que reprochar nada a la suprema personalidad de Dios. Pero si estoy consciente que ire al infierno por dejar a mi esposo y lo acepto, pero siempre le oro a krsna que nunca olvide a mi guru y a srila prabhupada.

Asi que entiendo que fallé pero quiero seguir en iskcon hasta el final y esforzarme dia a dia en mi canto de yapa, porque el secreto de todo este proceso es el canto de yapa, le tengo mucha fe al mantra hare krishna.🙂🥲

Gracias por estar siempre conmigo.. ud. Esta en mi corazon.. sienpre lo veo.

Atte.

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga

All glories to Srila Prabhupada's sankirtana.

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaj, pamho, I am living in the iskcon san borja temple for almost 6 months, I planned this and I ended the year fulfilling my goal of serving Lord Jaganatha Balarama and Subadra.

Now I will travel where my parents are and be with them. I am a woman who likes family and harmony in the family, so I want to be with them. And I will also take advantage of studying English.

My sadhana for 6 months was mangala artik 4.30 am, 4 principles, 16 and a little more rounds, kitchen service and gaura artik, food for life, book sankirtana, harinams.

I feel very happy here in the temple... I feel calm, Prabhu Agnideva was here in the temple for a week and I was able to serve him and listen to his good singing and his classes... I think that without such a good association I would not have recovered my spiritual enthusiasm.

ASA - !

M.ganga Mayi d.d. She is my current authority and her family is very nice... I really feel very happy and grateful for the spiritual environment they gave me.

I made the bhisma pancaka with fruits and water... good ekadasis, my yapa has improved, my reading is improving little by little, and now I eat little food, at night I don't eat, but this is natural in my body I have learned to eat what is necessary.😊

I have learned in the temple to be understanding and compassionate and to control my temper.

I am also learning to forgive.

Regarding my asram... on several occasions I wrote you the reason for my divorce but one way or another my letters never reached you 😥, so I made the decision to divorce.

Astrologically speaking, I am a manglik girl who has Mars in the 4th house, and having married a devotee who is not a manglik could lead to a divorce or the devotee becoming a widower.

Astrologically we were never compatible, but I always have the best that we did a lot of sankirtana and service and I am grateful to Him.

I feel that all the bad and good things that happen to me, Krsna knows why he does it and I don't have to reproach the Supreme Personality of Godhead for anything. But I am aware that I will go to hell for leaving my husband and I accept it,

ASA - Maybe hell is like Lima only a little colder and with mosquitos.

...but I always pray to krsna that I never forget my guru and srila prabhupada.

So I understand that I failed but I want to continue in iskcon until the end and strive every day in my yapa chant, because the secret of this whole process is the yapa chant, I have a lot of faith in the hare krishna mantra.🙂🥲

HpS - Rama said to Laksmana, 'There is no mistake that we cannot correct'.

Thank you for always being with me.. you. It is in my heart.. I always see it.

Atte.

ASA - Sun is going down. It is 4.08PM. We chant HK///HR and walk to/around Radha-kunda.

Live or die, we have pinned our association on trying Srila Prabhupada's path.

Oh! This is not an Urgent message, no?

Is there a fable by Aesop called, "The Boy Who Called, 'Wolf!'"

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurudev,

PAMHO

ALTSP

ASA - aLtsp??? L=?

How are you? I hope you are doing well in India.

HpS - I am in hell, but it has its advantages. Ha! Ha! Hare!

I am currently living in Paraguay with my wife Narayani Goura Premi dd. We attend and perform service on a regular basis in the preaching center of Iskcon Asunción. I am not the best devotee, not even close to being one, but I am making an effort to fulfill my sadhana at home or in the temple, thus avoiding vices. I am completing my 16 rounds, sometimes with ups and downs. reading Srila Prabhupada's books, I am currently studying Queen Kunti, final chapters.

At work I am running a small Courier company and we currently have 3 permanent workers. Logistics is a very precise job, but I feel that it is giving me a lot of experience. I also would like to study at the university, perhaps economics. but sometimes this life is too short to meet all the objectives.

I did not have time to write before and I apologize for that, it was truly a pleasure and inspiration to meet you at the Lima airport on your last stay in Peru. I apparently had an anxiety attack and that's why I fainted and you told me that I was very intelligent because only a madman doesn't have anxiety in this material world. It is excellent, but when I arrived in my country of residence I did the studies and they told me that I had a gallbladder stone which needed an operation but I have taken it easy until now simply improving my diet and I have been better, without colic.

HpS - Aaaah!

Thank you very much for your association.

your servant Vijaya Govinda Das.

HpS - Thank you! This is nice size letter with appropriate content.
