Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Here we are struggling to advance towards Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet.

ASA - You too?!! We also.

Thank you so much for your siksa, your daily lectures, your endeavors to expand Bhagavata dharma everywhere!!

We are facing difficult times here at Sri Govardhan Eco Village, this pandemia diminished personal Sadhu Sanga and we latinos feel the difference. We hope Public programs can resume soon.

ASA - Probably not. We expect this is the end of the industrial revolution and the solution is to get more people in your village.

Somehow or other we keep sticking to our personal saddhana, shifting between survival, standard and pure devotee mood!! 16R4P ok

On the personal level very good news!! A Baby girl is coming. Her name is Margarita!! We are happy with this. Lot of meditation in Kardama muni/Devahuti pastime. How Kardama muni accepted his attachment and went through all this to purify it and then go back home, back to godhead, leaving very nice offspring.

We remember what you said in chile (Ratha Yatra festival) about Grihastha asrama. Of course you were speaking from a Sannyasi realization, Tattva!! So from Rasa point of view, we must accept our position and try to use it for our purification.

We can not find better shelter than Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet and his Iskcon.

Next week more letters with personal projects, comments about divorce and iskcon institution.

Thank you so much Gurudev!!

Trying to follow,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Thank you. We need lots of Grhastha Guru comments.

:>>> Two more letters. Eco Village. 100 devotees by October.

"Hare krishna Gurudev. Dandavat pranam unto your lovely feet. Planning to go to Radhakund on 20th Aug to progress the Asram construction.

AGTSP, GURUDEV and Gouranga.

Hope this will find my in good health. Around six devotee in my association are eagerly waiting for getting initiation. What should I say ? May i give assurance on your behalf? Now only i request them to pray seriously to lord Gouranga and Krishna. Gurudev your writting few words enthus and give spiritual energy to me. Dandavat pranam unto your lovely feet.

Divya Svaroopa Das"

HpS - AGTSP!!!! paoho. It would only by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada that we could stay for a little time on the banks of Radha kunda, so please develop this Ashrama for him and his work.

We hope to join there.

If we are acting as Diksa guru for anyone, then they must have taken the ISKCON Disciple Course, and normally have a letter of recommendation from the local Temple President etc.

Have these aspirants done that?

Hare Krishna !

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

PAMHO

Dear Maharaja

So sad I will not see you in the near future. Have always wanted to visit the Boro, but not in theses trying times. Hope you are in good health. We are doing as well as could be expected for old folks. Been going through some more of my father's keepsakes and found a prayer written in Italian. Probably written by my grandfather in the 1930s in Wisconsin. It translates:

Act of thanks

Infinite thanks I give you oh my God of having redeemed me, made me a Christian, and preserved me in this night.

My God I regret with true heart for not loving You, and I propose with Your holy help not to offend you anymore in the future.

Merciful Lord forgive me.

This is the finest thing my father left us. I'm going to mount it in a frame with the translation and show it to all of my siblings and cousins.

Your humble servant, Dave Prabhu.

HpS - ASA --- We are seeing each other right now. Eyes pass photons, here we are passing electrons. Such a perfect prayer. I was born into Episcopalean family. Baptized, confirmed, met Srila Prabhupada, investigated him very sincerely and was convinced that he was the best Christian I had ever met, so took shelter of him formally as my eternal leader, and hope he continues to accepts me as such and I can become more and more connected with him, and with him our Lord Christ Jesus.

I am like an ant compared with both.

Send us a photo of the framed prayer if you can. Scan it.

Hare Krishna !  Are you going to Ratha Yatra in SF or staying in Boise? Dave

Staying in Boise, then heading to Vrndavana. What are your plans, HpS?

[7:00 AM, 7/30/2021] +1 (281) 635-xxx: Hare Krsna Maharaj 

Thank you so much.

Also scientifically is it possible to proove that the soul exists??

[5:15 PM, 8/4/2021] Hp Swami: No, because epistemology of science is rational empiricism and even Pi and the Square root of 2 are irrational numbers, what to speak of the soul.... 😇  It is by definition not an empirical entity.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!  

All glories to Srila Gurudeva!  

Our obeisances at your feet.

Dear Gurudeva, Vidagdha and I are in better health. Thanks to you and so many devotees who supported us and prayed for my family. It was a very purifying experience. My case was complicated due to my allergies and lung problems. Now we are only taking medications to strengthen the lungs and immune system in general, ginger, echinacea, probiotics, etc... 

It is very difficult for a mother to think about dying and leaving her children unprotected, but after reading your message, I gradually acquired more intelligence to understand that I am nothing and cannot control anything. My mom died when I was 9 years old and I don't wish the same for my children. But I understand that our only refuge is Krishna; so, nothing bad could come of this situation.

HpS - You are not nothing. You are a little girl in Mother Yasoda's work force and you have to help pack Krsna's lunch or something like that. We are not too big, or not too small. We have something to contribute in this world, drama, and in the eternal world. https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/1/8/10/ "La madre tiene la gran responsabilidad de brindarle una protección total al niño..."

 It is not easy to say goodbye to this body, your family and everything that identifies you with this life, although we have read about that topic many times. So the days went by, trying to understand my life through this body and accept leaving here soon. 

HpS - Only because we think we are the well wisher of Bhismadeva and Drona acharya. Krsna is more concerned with them than we are. We just need to help Him take care of them. 

One of those complicated days with a lot of fever, physical pain and emotional imbalance, I fell asleep in the afternoon and dreamed of Krishna, the temple deity of Mexico, Sri Madhan Gopal. He asked me to comb him and fix his turban. I combed him, decorated his turban and he looked really so beautiful. Her curly hair, very shiny and soft. All the time he looked at me with so much love. At one point Krishna was no longer made of stone, he came up to me and gave me a hug.

ASA - Srimati Gopi-radha Devi Dasi!!! You are shameless!! 😁 You are writing to us about how unfortunate you are while keeping secret hugs with our Krsna!!

I told my husband and at that moment my heart was freed from all anxiety and fear. I thought that it couldn't be that bad to die and that it was really quite possible to be close to Krishna. My faith woke up. Honestly, I didn't see getting a hug from Krishna as real or close. Of course, with my devoted friends we sometimes talk about what Krishna's hugs would be like. 

I understand that the blessings and prayers of the devotees are very powerful. SG Mahatma Prabhu asked me to focus on living because my children needed me, it helped me a lot to keep going. He always has so much love and compassion to give. So many devotees called, wrote and offered us so many expressions of affection. I wish I could reciprocate with everyone. 

For days I dreamed of many devotees praying around me to get the virus out of my body. I would wake up at dawn very scared, feeling the energy of the devotees. 

Three weeks passed without being able to get out of bed and one day I woke up feeling very good and recovered. At that time, my dear friend (Jahnava) who I have not seen in many years, sent me a message saying that she made an offering to Lord Nrishimhadeva of Mayapur for my benefit. I felt very ashamed for that and for all that you and so many devotees were doing for us. Our only refuge is Krishna and his devotees.

Sorry for my long letter, I wanted to share my experience with you.  

Thank you very much gurudeva for your time and teachings. What can we do for you???  

We pray that you are in good health. 

Japa 16 rounds, gayatri, reading, service to my deities 👍

.

Your servants Gopi Radha DD y Vidagdha Das.  

HpS - Respects to everyone. Everyone!! The Vidagdha, the Jaya deva... the kids, who will grow up and cause you even more problems as a grand mama etc.

Sorry slow to answer. We have a lot of service sometimes, and our eyes are getting old. See you in Sankirtana!! Thank you. We feel so much respect for you as a soldier in LC's army.
