Letters to the editor

TLGASP!

Gurudeva, please accept my humble and respectful obeisances.

I was able to see you and receive your mercy, it had a light blue color, so nothing could stop me and I approached you. Always dedicate myself to your service, that is my most desired occupation, one life, two lives, millions of lives on the path of Bhakti, without distractions.

Of course, Gurudeva, fundamentally 16 rounds and 4 principles. Each day is a creation following Srila Prabhupada, who vibrates the Maha Mantra in his beautiful voice. And I see you Gurudeva, who is the living example of Love for Krsna.

Thank you Gurudeva for existing, I don't feel lost, I am on the way.

Your disciple.

Rohini Devi Dasi

HpS - Thank you. Can you explain "it had a light blue color"? What is the news of Ananga manjari Devi Dasi? Do you know the verse "adau sraddha..." from Nectar of Devotion, cited in BG 4.10 purport?

It describes the levels of spiritual development.

Can you see your level?

\'o'/ Hare Krsna!!!

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru Maharaj,

AGTSP, Pamho,

Dear Gurudev,

I came here to openly and honestly across (send) to you our sincere gratitude for letting us to be part of the New Ashokavan Ashram, and also to say the devotees thank you too, Abhirama, Panca Tattva, they're so patient.

Ceirtanly, it will be a lifetime experience for the whole family.

Excuse us all the bothering. I thought that Rasarani and Madhavi were much less loudly and relaxed, but the city and a kanistha father have this kind of bad influence on children, I suppose.

HpS - From my perspective they were wonderful. Wonderful. Nice father, nice mother, nice grandmother.... Nice Acharya, Srila Prabhupada. If you can protect them it seems they will be able to do wonderful things for the world.

I will save every minute that you gave us. When you were in the house that Krsna let us use sometime herein Santiago, a couple of years ago, I was working so much, so I barely could serve at that time . But now it was a little different.

Please, bless us, not just to keep, but also to increase our Krishna Consciousness more a more.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. Three times is for real.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj.

Your servants

Jagad Guru das, Carolina, Rasarani & Madhavi 

HpS - As we said in the NoI class tonight we explained to Raul all the work we accomplished and how we hope it develops, so that NIOS can become a very serious contributor to the mission of the Yuga avatar, Lord Caitanya.

We hope that eventually we can get a copy of the Hamlet and Arjuna show that we made and that it can be made available to others.

We hope that you are back into your life in Santiago with lots of energy!!!

See you soon.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Well Gurudeva, I recently wrote you a letter called "[Varaha is Coming] - Sastric Studies - PMD". He talks about whether to continue studying Bhakti Sastri and whether it is recommended for me to take second initiation. You replied: Who do you have for brahminical advice? So I went to a group of brahmanas and showed them the letter for guidance.

I will expose the responses of the devotees:

1. Atma Tattva das: Finish Bhakti Sastri and take second initiation.

2. Arjuna das: They are not necessary, they are just formalities.

3. Jagad Guru das: Finish Bhakti Sastri but it is not time for second initiation

4. Saci suta das: Finish Bhakti Sastri and take second initiation

5. Janaka Raja das: Finish Bhakti Sastri and wait to take second initiation.

6. Jaganath Caran das: Finish Bhakti Sastri and take second initiation.

Well, those are the answers of the Devotees, so I am going to continue with the course of Bhakti Sastri and wait for their answer.

Hare Krishna

your servant

Piyari Mohan Das

HpS - I also vote, to finish Bhakti Sastri but is not time for second initiation, it is a formality that may be useful, but also maybe better just acting under Hari Nama initiation.

Jaya!

Bueno Gurudeva, hace poco le escribí una carta llamada " [Varaha is Coming] - Estudios Sastricos - PMD ". Habla sobre si seguir estudiando Bhakti Sastri y si es recomendable para mí tomar segunda iniciación. Usted me respondió: ¿A quien tienes para un consejo brahminico?. Por ello acudí a un grupo de brahmanas y les mostré la carta para que me orientaran.

Voy a exponer las respuestas de los devotos:

1. Atma Tattva das: termina el Bhakti Sastri y toma segunda iniciación.

2. Arjuna das: no son necesarios, solo son formalidades.

3. Jagad Guru das: Termina Bhakti Sastri pero no es tiempo de segunda iniciación

4. Saci suta das: Termina Bhakti Sastri y toma segunda iniciación

5. Janaka Raja das: Termina Bhakti Sastri y espera para tomar segunda iniciación.

6. Jaganath Caran das: termina Bhakti Sastri y toma segunda iniciación.

Bueno, esas son las respuestas de los Devotos, así que voy a seguir con el curso de Bhakti Sastri y esperar su respuesta.

I wish that the film is going well and that his spiritual life continues to rise, it never ends.

I appreciate it very much Gurudeva, thank you for accepting me as a disciple.

I want to tell you that on March 28 I will start studying digital communication at the Arcos de Viña del Mar institute. I will be living with some uncles near the institute.

I already feel 100% recovered since I had my decompensation in June of last year.

My sadhana has gone down quite a bit in quality compared to how it was when I lived in the temple.

I'm getting up at 6 AM and the first thing I do is sing my rounds. After that I help in the cleaning of the house.

Then I do exercise, breakfast and bath. After that I study. After every main meal I study sastra for half an hour. In total 30 minutes 3 times a day.

It is difficult for me to get up at 4 o'clock and I am sorry that I cannot do it since you ask us to do it, as Prabhupada states in the Upadesamrita.

I have thought to incorporate a simple worship in my sadhana, flower and incense for my painting of Panca Tattva and you with Prabhupada. What do you think?

HpS - ASA - Super!!

I am receiving advice from several devotees regarding the above letter I sent to you which talks about the study of Bhakti Sastri and the second initiation.

Here at home I have my pots, kitchen implements, dishes, etc. I cook for myself and sometimes for my family.

I am offering all the fruit that my mother buys along with the bottles of water that we drink.

My big weakness is the factory fries, I still can't give them up. What I want to give up completely is the chocolate that you advise the brahmacaris not to eat. I didn't know it had caffeine, I think I can avoid it, but the chips...

Will I be like a home brahmacari? That's what I try, I avoid association with women and study the scriptures. Well, whatever it is, I have a desire to serve.

HpS - Yes...

I could go much further but I don't want to take up any more of your time.

your servant

Piyari Mohan Das

HpS - It is very nice to hear from you. Are you having any legal results from your psychotic breakdown?

Very nice to hear from you, but seems that you have very big mental problems to deal with, no?

Please write more!

Hope you meet nice professors in your studies!!

Deseo que la película esté marchando bien y que su vida espiritual siga en ascenso, nunca termina.

Lo aprecio mucho Gurudeva, gracias por aceptarme como discípulo.

Quiero contarle que el 28 de marzo comienzo a estudiar comunicación digital en el instituto Arcos de Viña del Mar. Estaré viviendo con unos tíos cerca del instituto.

Ya me siento recuperado al 100% desde que tuve mi descompensación en Junio del año pasado.

Mi sadhana a bajado bastante de cualidad respecto a como era cuando vivía en el templo.

Me estoy levantando a las 6 AM y lo primero que hago es cantar mis rondas. Luego de ello ayudo en el aseo de la casa.

Luego hago ejercicio, desayuno y baño. Luego de eso estudio. Luego de cada comida principal estudio media hora el sastra. En total 30 minutos 3 veces al día.

Se me dificulta levantarme a las 4 y lamento no poder hacerlo ya que usted nos pide que lo hagamos, tal como Prabhupada lo establece en el Upadesamrita.

He pensado incorporar una adoración simple en mi sadhana, flor e incienso para mi cuadro de Panca Tattva y usted junto a Prabhupada. ¿Qué opina usted?

Estoy recibiendo consejo de varios devotos respecto a la carta anterior que le envío la cual habla sobre el estudio de Bhakti Sastri y la segunda iniciación.

Aquí en casa tengo mis ollas, implementos de cocina, platos etc. Cocino para mi y algunas veces para mi familia.

Estoy ofreciendo toda la fruta que mi madre compra junto con los bidones de agua que tomamos.

Mi gran debilidad son las papitas fritas de fábrica, todavía no las puedo dejar. Lo que quiero dejar por completo es el chocolate que usted le recomienda no comer a los brahmacaris. No sabía que tenía cafeina, creo que puedo evitarlo, pero las papitas…..

¿Seré cómo un brahmacari de casa? Eso intento, evito la asociación con mujeres y estudio las escrituras. Bueno, sea lo que sea, tengo el deseo de servir.

Podría extenderme mucho más pero no quiero quitarle más tiempo.

Por favor acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias a sus pies.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a usted!

Con gran felicidad le escribo. Ayer (17 febrero) Panca Tattva das se comunicó conmigo para comentarme de mi iniciación para Gaura Purnima. Estoy feliz.

Quiero agradecerle por su misericordia conmigo. Uno nunca puede pagar la deuda con el maestro espiritual de uno, pero sin embargo debe intentar hacer todo lo posible.

Quiero decirle que desde ese día que se comunicó conmigo, me siento con mucho ánimo. Levantarme todos los días a las 4am me está haciendo muy bien a mi mente. Saber que a las 8 am/9am ya cumplí con mi sadhana me genera una paz mental muy grande el resto del día.

Sigo con la distribución de libros en las sierras Córdoba.

Mucho servicio en la congregación de Traslasierra: limpieza y trabajos varios. Aprendiendo entre todos a relacionarnos como congregación. Muchas esperanzas de poder hacer algo bueno con la prédica en este lugarcito del mundo.

La regularidad en GtM también está haciéndome muy bien, asociarme con usted me da potencia y alegría.

Muchas gracias por todo Maharaja.

Gaura Purnima es el 17 de marzo (creo). estoy muy ansioso por que llegue ese día.

Espero poder servirle como usted se merece.

Otra vez gracias por todo.

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances at your feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you!

It is with great happiness that I write to you. Yesterday (2022/17/february) Panca Tattva das contacted me to tell me about my initiation for Gaura Purnima. I'm happy. I want to thank you for your mercy on me.

One can never repay one's debt to one's spiritual master, but nevertheless one should try to do one's best.

I want to tell you that since that day you communicated with me, I feel very encouraged. Getting up every day at 4am is doing my mind a lot of good. Knowing that at 8 am/9 am I have already completed my sadhana gives me great peace of mind for the rest of the day.

I continue with the distribution of books in the Córdoba mountains.

A lot of service in the Traslasierra congregation: cleaning and various jobs.

Learning among all to relate to each other as a congregation. High hopes that we can do something good with the preaching in this little part of the world.

Regularity in GtM is also doing me a lot of good, associating with you gives me power and joy. Thank you very much for everything Maharaja.

Gaura Purnima is March 17 (I think). I am very much looking forward to that day.

I look forward to serving you as you deserve.

Thanks again for everything.

HpS - Thank you! We just communicated with you during the NoI class. Is very nice. We are just small mail men for Srila Prabhupada. All the mercy you are experiencing, novelty, purification, waking up, is his mercy.

We may be contributing a little, little portion.

🙂 ! ! !!

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

Dear Maharaj, we think of you daily, how can we chant better 16 rounds daily, do our duties better, become a bit happier so we can serve our husband better. He has told cooking and cleaning will not help our relationship. He has informed us leaving him alone and when he rejects our affection, not going mad, will better help our relationship. Again extra marital actions on his part. We felt like a hole in our heart. Tried to offer love to amend the heartbreak, but become worse upon being violently rejected. It’s like a situation of an unwanted child born to a mother who hasn’t accepted she’s now a mother and every time the child needs her, she freaks out on the child.

Upon rejection, we lost our mind that all our efforts and still the relationship does not become better, and we almost left. But somehow still here. We try to cook as service to you, Krsna and him 🙏. We know we are very flawed, our service is very poor quality, but all we can do daily is show up and try again with enthusiasm, determination and patience (we very very much lack in this). Still struggling to figure out how to have sane varnashram situation, decent sadhana, wife duties that pleasing to husband, and some activities to keep us busy after our attempts on the above.

We miserably fail daily in our very unpalatable service. We just hope Lord Krsna sees our effort instead of the quality of our poorly done service 🙏. So unqualified, yet because of your mercy He may still glance on it 😇 🙏. The heart feels happy today feeling your love and affection for us 🤗. Simply living for the day when I can give you some news that will make you happy with us, proud of us 🥲.

your aspiring servant,

Yajnaseni

HpS - Hare Krsna.

AgtSP.

Trying to put your letter in perspective we can understand.

One thing that comes to mind is the situation of Mandodhari, the wife of Ravana. An extreme situation. Along with Sita she is considered an example of a chaste women for the entire universe,

but Prabhupada commented that we are not on that level and it is Kali yuga not Treta yuga, and if a wife has genuine problems with a husband who is fallen from a spiritual or even a human standard then she should not try to imitate these Vedic ladies of earlier ages but place some distance between herself and her husband and take shelter of the devotees.

As we know he recommended that solution for the wife of Karandhara Das in Los Angeles: She live separate from him and situate herself in practical, nice, service in the Los Angeles, New Dvaraka, community, and pray for her husbands adjustment.

Again we are Sannyasis at a distance.

Use our perspective, but also develop other counselors, and as you describe your efforts you will conquer this situation and come out with assets that will never fail you again in the future.

We want to wake up.

Your esteemed husband wrote to us a short letter also, and we answered as best we could, basically repeating what we said before about divorce.

Basically the same comments that we just made above, and wrote before in great detail.

It is almost 8PM.

A few more letters and then we must rest our old donkey.

Thank you!!!

As you describe the situation you are a very great soul.

Maybe in you next life you can date the role of Mandodari!

😂 😂😂😂😂
