Letters to the editor

My Highly Remembered Gurudeva Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances at Your beautiful lotus feet.

HpS - Lettuce feet. AGTSP!!

All glories to Sri Sri Radha Govinda!!! to the gopis of Vraja and the residents of vrndavam dham!!!

ASA - Photo of Radha kunda at Sunrise attached.

All Glories to Patita Pavana Srila Prabhupada!!!

All glories to You my dear Gurudev!!!

Please forgive me for being late in answering the question in Your last letter and for being late in my report.

ASA - We are also late in service Srila Prabhupada. Only his mercy makes our late offerings useful!

A lot of discouraging things happened regarding the festival...that left me perplexed...and I didn't want to bother you...until I understood things a little better myself...

ASA - What festival? Did you mention it before? We can take obstacles as inspiration for personal improvement or discouraging, no?

...I saw some close friends get very sad...and they wrote you a letter commenting that they were useless in ISKCON, only to clean floors. Then they told me they didn't send that letter because they said it was too depressive.

I was very surprised!! reading it because it reminded me a lot of an old letter I wrote to you, when I was not allowed to take second initiation. I didn't send it to you either.

But now they have recovered and thought it's just bad karma he has.

Very happy to see them better.

Here we have good news that Franco is dedicated to building a small space that will be a small temple to serve the last deities of Jagantha Baladeva Subadra that he carved.

HpS - Very nice! What has happened to Amala karuna Das in Cusco???

They are kept because where we live is very small and there is no place to care for them. We will put there all the deities that have come into our lives.

I think that perhaps this place had to be first so that Lord Jagannatha could go for a walk from here and then not keep it due to lack of space but continue attending to it.

In response to your question, the photo you sent me of Sri Jagannatha, Sri Baladeva and Srimati Subhadra is so beautiful!! Thank you very much! I find Lord Jaganntaha very gallant and charming. Like a teenager very well groomed and ready for his meeting with His Sri Radha!

When you wrote to me: look at the photo of sri jaganntha We think about how is your life?? This must be a great adventure!!

This reminded me of a letter I sent him telling him that I was worried about our life in Cordoba, etc... and since I realized that I wrote to him with the illusion that I can control my life, I deleted it.

I understood that she was worried about our life instead of worrying about Lord Jaganntha's life!! And how to make him happy! GURUDEV I thank you immensely!!!

Sometimes my faith in His protection gets weak but that's when I'm confused. When clarity comes to mind then I am happy knowing that He always protects us.

Of course I would love for us to do a Ratha Yatra!!! take them out for a walk and may Lord Jagannatha be happy! Hopefully we can make a magnificent festival for them! Not just one year but every year that we can see them here. May gopal, many children and new people meet and enjoy this festival! It is my greatest wish that it be so.

Many people from the past festival ask me for another festival! Even a girl wants to help by typing the permit!!!

Franco disarmed the mobile home to make a chariot for the Lord with it! !!! I suppose that when I finish making the temple, we can return to the float and the festival.

Spring is also coming and time to grow. Franco is always busy, sometimes I worry seeing him so tired. I hope this is the last build I do. I go out to make sales and I come home exhausted and with leg pain because I walk a lot. But I will help you as much as I can.

Regarding the Dance of Radha and the Bee, Franco downloaded many songs and one of them inspires me a lot for the final part of the dance... I hope you like it too. I plan to do it in three parts so I'll use three songs.

First part: The gopis see Udhava's chariot and talk among themselves. (only flute music)

Part Two: Udhava Approaches and Radha Goes Away (Musica Krsna premi mayi Radha by Ramya devi dasi)

Part Three: Radha talks to the bee. (Radhe Radhe Bolo from Madhava's)

I am always happy to hear your valuable opinion.. I am sure you were not mistaken when you wrote me about chapter 17 where krsna swallows the fire... It may be that you want dances of this pastime until the chapter Radha and the bee?? I hope life and energy will reach me to be able to do them..!!!

HpS - Do not remember Chapter 17?? Just Message of the Bee. Very happy.

I am very sad because Tulasi was growing beautiful... and suddenly ..one tulasi has already left...and the other I am trying to revive... Here we have no association with devotees. And the Tulasi association makes me very, very happy. Now I feel that I cannot live without her anymore. Please Gurudev give us Your blessings so that we can always have the company of Srimati Tulasi devi. I think I know why she left.. I am begging Krsna and Her to help me move forward..but I cannot move forward without Her..I am begging Her mercy. Tulasi devi Maharani ki Jay!!!!

HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna.

Gopalito is growing well and healthy. You know that you are in Spain. Listening to Franco and me speak different types of Spanish, always practice😊 He knows that in Spain a different type of Spanish is spoken that he learned by listening to his class Radha y la bee with prabhu Jayanta Also because we see the cartoon: the Mayan bee that they say was my favorite as a child. I did not know that in the future my spiritual name would be related to bees and bumblebees😁😍

Thank you Gurudev. I wish you are happy in your beautiful sankirtan! May your movie turn out wonderful!! And make it a nice sermon!!

I was very happy to see the trailer of His movie and I hope to acquire the wonderful book tava pache pache soon.

Please accept obeisances from Franco and Gopal and please pray for us that despite our limitations we can take Lord Jagannatha out for a walk!!!! And let us always have the association of Tulasi Devi maharani!!!

Trying to please her beautiful lotus heart: Japa prati jalpa Radha devi dasi

P.S. Pics:

The photo where I am dancing in chosica was Her vyasa puja 2010 when I tried to do Radha and the bumblebee I wanted you to guess what that hobby was... apparently it didn't go well. We will try this 2 times. (It is a very high feeling to do it in Dance.. can I ask Sri Radha and Her friends to dance through us? It also seems very high to me.. I will do what I can..

Photos of the second event at Adi Sakhi's house.

franco when he lived in the temple ashram of buenos aires.

My Radharani puppet💖😍

And the construction of the small temple!

HpS - Awk! Only 42-minutes to prepare for reunion con Atul Krsna and Board of Examinations. Very inspiring your news. You are just as much of a Sannyasi as are we. Respects to the family. Look for big help from Krsna.

I am always confronted with obstacles from Godbrothers and devotees in ISKCON. My salvation is my personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada (for many transparent media, but direct experience). Tell your friends that they must get this. Then they can understand how to help the other ISKCON members.

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

Husband constantly asks for separation since he started talking to his girl friend 2 years ago. We constantly telling him no such thing in our understanding. So the impasse. My struggle is aligning my mind’s vrittis, to accept the Tapasya that comes on this path whether it’s accepting a terrible husband (if krsna’s merciful maybe he’ll become less terrible) or living a single life. 

Lord Balaram invited us to make jewelry for Him. We only meditate on that painting of fruit vendor. We try to give Him all our fruits out of love, and hope He takes care of our life which we are unable to handle now in any way 🙏. He’s the ultimate shelter. Please pray for us that we can in this difficult period not lower Srila Prabhupad’s name with our actions 🙏.

Your fallen servant,

Yajnaseni

HpS-ASA --- Chant Hare Krsna and be happy. In Kali yuga we all go through these crazy situations, but..... the Holy Names are so nice that we can get immediate relief, for the current moment, for the current day eg Holy Name tells us to eat a peach and have a nap, and large scale adjustments eg. With clear explanation resign from this post or that.

We wrote out in great detail, no, our understanding of marriage etc in general and Kali yuga. Mandodari had a rather difficult marriage.

If husband falls into big moral morass for six years then O.K. to find a new protector/husband and hope he isn't worse. That is third class adjustment but we are Kali yuga people.

Gandhari could have emotionally left Dhrtarastra alone with his material desires to be King of have his sons be King, but (in the Peter Brook movie) she agreed to join him and help him with his emotions.

Have a heroic life.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Please accept our humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

I share some photos with friends, of my hobbies and my work. My friends are like my family here, because I am Colombian who has lived in Chile for 7 years.

This added to my spiritual life and my activities in the temple (garlands, cleaning, sometimes cooking for guests at SP Sunday) with great devotion.

Thank you very much Maharaja!!!

Your servant,

Diana Sánchez

HpS - ASA - AgtSP!!! Please accept our thanks and thanks of other Blog readers. Very happy photos. Are you and Sruti priya Devi Dasi sisters?

With all regard and respect let us meditate on his earthly form will chanting Holy Names as orientation for him in his progress to his next body!

Hare krishna Guru maharaja todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Soy Sripati das de chile, hace mucho tiempo que no tengo comunicacion con usted pero a pesar de todo siempre esforzandome por tener una vida conciente de Krishna y buena asosiacion con devot@s.

HpS-ASA - Very intelligent person. AgtSP. Who always gives us good advice and inspires us to follow it.

Me doy valor y fuerza para poder escribirle esta carta, hace ya 13 años atras tome iniciacion con usted desde ahí la vida no a sido facil, muchas pruebas de vida, tomando buenas y malas desiciones, haciendome cargo de mi acciones y karma que estoy pagando en esta vida, gracias a krishna he podido salir adelante y hoy estoy aquí para contarle que nunca he dejado de seguir los principios regulativos,

pero NO canto todas mis rondas, quiero ser sincero en ese aspecto, pero la ultima vez que usted fue a chile fue el 2018 y pudimos hablar sobre poder retomar el vinculo de Guru y discipulo, tambien le comente sobre la sancion que tuve en el templo y las criticas hacia mí persona, la cual usted me menciono que aguantara todas esa criticas hacia mí, hoy en mi presente estoy bien, muy entusiasta por lo cual quiero comprometerme con usted a cantar las 16 rondas diariamente, tambien en esa oportunidad le mencione que tenia el deseo de tomar segunda iniciacion, hoy tengo ese deseo tanto de seguir aprendiendo y tomar responsabilidades en el templo y aprender el Arcana Vigraha y la adoracion a la Deidad,

tambien demostrarle tanto a usted como a la congregacion que soy un buen Vaisnava y que soy una persona que suma cosas buenas a la congregacion de ISKCON CHILE.

Tanto mi persona como la administracion del templo quieren saber que usted opina sobre si esta bien que yo tome segunda iniciacion.

HpS - Claro. Cuando estamos listos toma segunda iniciacion, entones 3, 4, 5, 6!!! Krsna creando mas y mas niveles de intamacy con El. Purificarte!

Por otra parte quiero contarle que estoy a 2 meses de casarme con Bhuvana Mohini d.d discipula de Bhakti Thirta Swami de mexico y esa ella una de las personas que me a animado mucho en todo mi proceso, tanto de seguir aprendiendo y tomar responsabilidad en mi vida Espiritual, ademas ella hace pasteles.

HpS - Espero todo bien!

Guru Maharaja me despido y quedo atento alguna respuesta de usted, estoy muy feliz de haberle escrito y sincerarme, saludos cordiales Sripati das.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Unos fotos de Vd. y la Mataji. Unas cartas de Jagannatha Carana Das.



Hare Krsna dear Maharaja. Obeisances. AGTSP! 😊

I hope all is going well with your travels, health and spiritual life. I have read your news and I know that you are already in Spain.

May everything be profitable for the film!!!!! 🙌

HpS-ASA -- Thank you. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada!

Regarding the last letter I wrote about the process of formalizing refuge and initiation, I have been in conversations with the devotees in charge, and thanks to the help of Jagad Guru Das, who has always supported me and encouraged me to go ahead, everything is going well.

About my sadhana:

We continue with the 16 daily rounds and 4 principles.... I wish I could get up earlier, but sometimes it is not possible.

Not so tired anymore because of work, but the intense work and academic load remains.

Practicing yogasana weekly to keep the body firm.

Health well; stable, without complications. With many changes in eating habits, but all for the better. We don't eat so much anymore.

Eternally grateful to you and Krsna for keeping me in service.🤓

I miss your FMP association very much. Due to time difference we can't log in, but we listen to you in classes and follow twitter, blog and RRSS to calm the feeling of separation even though we always carry you in our heart.

May Lord Nrsimha protect you eternally, Maharaja.

My eternal obeisances to you. 🙏

Your aspiring servant,

Bh. Nicole Silva.

HpS - When Rukmini and the other princesses were married to Krsna They brought so many girl friends with them. Even had children by Krsna. Krsna will satisfy all of our material desires but with full spiritual perspective.

Thank you so much.

Your practical work will produce practical results in Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON.

Make it pure.
