Letters to the editor

Se que soy ingrato con tanta misericordia que me has otorgado en esta vida y te escribo porque pese a todo te acuerdas siempre de este imperfecto servidor. Es verdad que últimamente estuve inmerso en mis actividades familiares y laborales quizá descuidé un poco escuchar tus clases sin embargo seguí practicando el canto de mis rondas y Gayatris que con mucho amor me otorgaste. Debo contarte que estoy estudiando el Bakty Vaibhaba en el VTE Latino con P. Paranpadam Das de Argentina, estamos ahora por finalizar el Canto II del S.B. Asimismo sigo sirviendo en el CPO PERU viendo la parte legal y todo lo que pueda favorecer en proteger a las víctimas y a la infancia dentro de ISKCON PERU. En cuanto a mi servicio de adoración a la deidad por esta temporada de invierno lo he suspendido ya que el clima es muy frio y afecta mi salud. En lo que respecta a temas administrativos voy a evitar contarte los detalles porque se trata de ciertos desacuerdos con algunos de mis hermanos espirituales y se que tu tienes que resolver cosas más importantes en tus actividades de Sankirtan. Quizá mi naturaleza de Abogado hace que por voluntad propia o por casualidad siempre me meta en problemas por eso prefiero mantenerme un poco distante de algunos de ellos que no armonizan con mi forma de pensar y de actuar. El criterio de Justicia material también es variado y muchas veces contradictorio para aplicar en sociedades donde todos piensan distinto, pero en fin sigo adelante. Personalmente no me interesa la política dentro de la administración, pero si me doy cuenta de todo lo que ocurre pese a ello oriento legalmente a quien se lo merece porque los defectos personales de traición, desconfianza, dobleces o hipocresía son los mismos incluso entre devotos, mi defecto mayor es decirlo y hablar claro a lo mejor eso no les gusta a algunos hermanos quienes prefieren que este callado o guarde silencio. Pienso que tanto tu como las autoridades me dieron un servicio apropiado en el CPO que está acorde a mi naturaleza, pero con sinceridad te digo mi querido Gurudev que he comprobado y encontrado basura y polvo que se guarda debajo de la alfombra, lo digo de la mejor manera, pero se que es una realidad que, si conoces, no juzgo a nadie más bien este servicio me hace entender que soy imperfecto y camino en el sendero correcto. No quiero agradar a todos mis hermanos menos me interesa lograr eso, solo se que tu me seguirás guiando en esta vida y en la próxima. Gracias Gurudeva por leer mi carta. Mis reverencias.

hps//asa = agtsp. paoho. is so nice to read you here and by whatsapp.

we could not read all this letter because it is to detailed-in spanish for our old brain. makes us sad, but we did understand a lot.

yes, in politics and admnistration you can't please all of the people, all of the time.

but that is administration. then we put it aside and have kirtan together.

what canto are you on now?

who are your study partners?

in Germany it is very cold, no heat in the building, so Prabhupada told the pujari he could bathe only once a day!!

your report seems wonderful.

we hope you send us more news, shorter, with google translate and improve your service to ISKCON more and more.

make Peru the leader for the world.

Kaliyuga Kings!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja

Por favor acepte mis más respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las glorias a usted.

Gurudev, espero que se encuentre muy bien junto a la asociación de Maharaja Yadunandana Swami, y devotos y devotas en Nueva Vrajamandala.

Siempre es tan encantador la compañía de los devotos y servir junto a ellos.

Quiero contarle que hemos abierto un almacén de productos veganos y vegetarianos, y estamos vendiendo varios productos hechos por devotos. Prasadam y libros de Srila Prabhupada. Esperando hacer un poco de Sankirtan. Krsna permitió hacer esto, quizá permita hacer cosas más grandes mientras esto avanza.

Ya se fue un libro, y mucho prasadam 😊

Donde? Musica? Hermosa muestra de literatura? 🦍👍👍👍

También quiero contarle que hemos creado una página web para cursos de Bhaktas, Discípulos y Bhakti Sastri. Aún no está disponible el aula virtual. Esperamos abrirla el año 2025. Así puedo seguir con los cursos.

Super bueno si es semi-presential! Sanga físico una vez cada semestre.

Continuamos con BVB.

Los niños están cantando 1 ronda cada día, y cada año aumentarán 1 ronda más. Pade pade...

Participamos en la mesa de libros para la conferencia de Radhika Raman Prabhu en IF, y organizamos junto a Ekangi dd y Krsangi dd una taller de Homeschooling dictado por madre Amrta Keli.

Bueno, esas son algunas noticias.

Muchas gracias por leer Gurudev.

Aquí seguimos cumpliendo nuestros votos.

Super👍👍👍 buen fotos.

Prof Claudia Lira, no?

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada, and All Glory to Sankirtan Movement by Sri Gour Nitay.

Please accept my humbles obeisances unto your lotus feet.

HpSwami/ASA - Very inspiring, agtSP, to get your association.

I think we still have lettuce feet covering our lotus feet.

You?

Dear Girudeva:

I hope you are in good health, thank you for your visits to India and Spain, they are very inspiring and fill us with enthusiasm to continue chanting the rounds and for take association with devotees.

I have been studying the TPP, reading the Krsna book, and I have been carrying out the month of Kartik in association with the devotees of the cultural center Radha Govinda.

HpSwami/ASA - Who, Where are they? 😃

I have heard that there are no very difficult rules for chanting the Holy Name in Sik-Astak, and I know that the most basic thing to practice Krishna consciousness is to chant the japa, I also remember that you have instructed us to get up early and chant the rounds, to strive to do good rounds. About everything related to the Sankirtan process, again I have questions:

*What is needed to start chanting rounds? Is a certain age required, physical conditions, clothing, schedule, doing them in a certain direction, or with a specific position or having a Guru? What are the minimum requirements.

HpSwami/ASA - Anyone, agtNG, can chant. Even a dog can take part dance in ecstacy.

Chant Holy Names is like eating food. There will always be an effect, like eating food if we eat according to a nice standard there will be more result.

Follow the four principles more and more strictly. Chanting with better:

Sankirtan associates,

Daily schedule,

Pronunciation,

Meaning,

Love ❤️.

*In NOD about Japa say: Chanting a mantra or hymn softly and slowly is called japa... How slowly should they be chanting?

HpSwami ASA - Not so slowly that your mind wanders nor so fast you don't chant with meaning

*How important is it to avoid the 10 offenses when chanting the Holy Name?

HpSwami ASA--Like avoiding pour water on the wood when you are trying to start a fire.

Greatest offense is to stop chanting, no?

*Can rounds or any rounds be substituted for a period of Kirtan?

Olive oil substituted for Ghee.

*What are the minimum requirements to belong to ISKCON?

Life Membership. Initiated members. Each Temple has particular ethos for Congregating members.

Some not members but friends and guests.

What topics should be avoided with devotees from other sangas?

NOI 4-6 has good details, no?

Lord Jesus Christ belongs to Catholic sanga, no? He is described in NOI 5?

Thaks a lot for your very valuable attention, your crew member. ⛵️. ⛵️. .⛵️

Thank, agtSP, you.

4.50pm 🌞 here in NVM, Madrid, Guadalajara, Brihuega, Spain.

Prepare to go for BIG Home Program 🏠🏡🏡 now.

Gadadhara Das and family.

Wish you [all] where here.

See you soon in Nabadvipa with Nimai?

HK Dandavats Pranavs Maharaj! PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

How are you?

HpS/ASA --- Probably, agtSP, just like you. Advancing in serving Krsna in this hospital!!

It’s been quite a while since I don’t write you, I was following you via the Monkey Warrior WhatsApp group and it has been good to see you what seemed to be happy in that country side temple, with Guru Prasad Swami was it??

HpS - Was Yadunandana Swami. Yes, we also slow to answer. Went to Radha kunda for three weeks!

❗

❗

❗

Well here I’ve been feeling better thanks to your advice and the local devotees support, I kept myself away from my ex and I’m getting better. I’ve been working on my Sadhana, waking up at 3am, 3:30 sometimes, and I’m doing some morning and simple yoga routine, followed by a Japa session, and before that I’m worshiping my Gaura Nitai deities, and a picture of Radha Krishna (in the meanwhile I’m recovering economically in order to acquire Radha Krishna murtis) and also Nrishimhadev.

I have had certain subtle attacks time ago, and Prabhu Sankirtaneshvara told me I should worship Narasimha, and read the Narayan Kavacham chapter from the SB.

So I’ve been working very happily on my routine as I told you and discovered that I have to be very strict with what I eat for instance. So I keep associating with the devotees, doing service and attending to regular Sunday programs. Ans I’m hearing Prabhupada’s lectures daily! That gives me a punch of energy!

Maharaj I’m keeping myself as far away as possible from external mayas, but internal mayas appear to have gained some extra strength, I’m trying to figure out how to become chaste, could you please give me some advice regarding that?

HpS - For us, agtSP, it was great help when we started offer bath to our picture of Radha and Krsna on our altar in Sacrament.

Even though with a very nice wife, we found our sex, romantic, desire satisfied when we offer Radha and Krsna nice clothes, bath, perfume etc.

At least clean their altar and look for flowers.

Sex desire :>>

Maharaj there’s another thing I would like to please ask you, as I told you some years ago I wasn’t quite following vaishnavism, and was by then when we had our daughter with Ivanna, and well now I feel, as I told you, our relationship would be impossible, we have taken different paths, so I’ve heard from Dhanvantari Swami that marrying more than once entangles oneself even more to samsara, so my question is, should I remain unmarried the rest of my life? Should I get married in order to have some support for raising my child?

HpS - Everyone is different. For me, one nice wife with nice scratching and biting was enough.

We both tried our best to be married couple, but could see it was not going to work at that point.

So, I headed to Sannyasa and after six hears she remarried.

Get married or don't get married. Look at the weather forecast and take an umbrella or don't take and umbrella.

Practical decision.

Prayer to Krsna for advice... Hare Krsna Hare Rama...

Talk to nice people, devotees who know you.

See all the advice in SP's books, and make some choice.

Not too important.

but..

99999 x more important.

Chant Hare Krsna.

... on beads,

.... following four princely pals,

... regular Temple morning program,

... perfect you Sankirtan in Srila Prabhupada's orchestra!!

Thank you!!!

THe whole world thanks you.

thank you very much for everything!

HK!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada..AGTHPS.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

I am Nicinta Nityai devi dasi from Manipur. I had dearly wished to be at Radhakunda for your darshan, but due to my poor health, I am unable to make the journey.

Please accept my humble obeisances from afar. I had been engaging in my loving devotional service from home, chanting and Srimad bhagavatam class to the best of my ability. I pray that you are also in good health by the mercy of the Lord.

Your servant

Nicinta nityai

HpSwami--AgtSP. Please accept our humble obeisances.

Thank you so much for this news.

We hope to meet you soon and repeatedly.

All glories, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, to His Holiness B. S. Damodara Swami, who has and is our doorway to the wonderful Vaisnava land of Manipur, Assam etc.

Thank you.

Krsna is certainly watching you and purifying you to participate in His eternal lilas and maybe you will have important part directly in Nabadvipa in some universe in your next birth and others of us!

Our body and laziness also make letter writing slow, we are all together in Hari kirtan.

Please send photo of your self, altar, yatra!

Dear Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances To your lotus feet! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories To You!!🙏💥🌻🌼🌷🏵🌸💐🌹🌺

I hope you are doing very well and that you had a beautiful month of Kartika! and so many festivals! I am immensely grateful for your wonderful answers. I feel somewhat relieved to know that my relationship with you is eternal and that I will be able to see you again! Even though I cannot travel to see you now. I will always continue forward with even more strength thanks to your Immaculate mercy.

HpS-ASA - Please send a one minute audio clip of your Japa!

Thank, agtSP, you.

Thank you for your instructions in my dear Dance service💕

I always heard about this Bhisma Pancaka fast that begins today on this Uthama Ekadasi. Could you tell me what is good to do these days? Is it a grain fast? And to break Ekadasi?... Thank you for your answer and time.

HpS/ASA - We understand that Bhismadeva only lived on air or water and Hari kirtan for five days, but devotees like us maybe just more strict with regular ISKCON Damodara service, and maybe after breakfast with some piece of chapati do ekakasi prasad for five days etc.

May I continue dancing happily in the wonderful dust of Your Lotus feet, dear Gurudev, eternal thanks.

Your servant eternal: J.P.Radha Devi Dasi

P.D : Here I am sending you photos of the drawings and arts that my Gopal💕🎶

I made you in clay! My first deity of You Gurudeva🙏🌷🌼🌻🙏

I think they are wonderful! I hope to be able to cultivate his arts and be a good mother to him.

HpS - Inspiring sculptures and drawings.

Hope his art develops from his heart.

Any work from Swami Franco?
