Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

This letter will be a report of my current situation. In the last letter i told you my visa is in process so that i can

• go to Switzerland,
• get married with my fiance and
• live there.

I thought it would be ready soon, so i sold all my things, now all my material possessions fit in two luggages,

i leave the temple and went to visit my parents a few weeks,

and after that i wanted to spend a few time alone,

so asked a friend if i can go to her apartment (no one is living there) for a few days.

We received news from migration office,

they think it's suspicious that two persons want to get married without to get to know each other in person first,

and it's very common people get married just because of the visa,

so we are under investigation and im still in this apartment.

I didn´t come back to the temple for many reasons: the room i was in is not available anymore, i decided to start a business project and wasn't feelling well at the temple for a long time. I wrote you about that a year ago, left the temple for almost two months and came back, gave it another chance, it didnt work. Temple's economic and administrative situation make living there very austere for me, i cant handle it. Accept this was very hard, i used to be pujari of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, went to them and said sorry because i cant stay, somehow i thought cant be there because i´m not good enough to receive that mercy. My heart is crushed because of it. Now my sadhana basically consists in fmp, rounds, manasa puja for my Ladhu Gopal, SB class, reading, two offerings a day. Sometimes it's very difficult to be alone so many days in a row, time to time i go to visit my parents or friends, i can't go to the temple because the idea to go there give me the bitter taste of bad memories, it's sad to connect bad moments to the temple, i´m trying to remember all the good things and to my beloved Sri Sri Gaura Nitai. By the way, i feel very very lucky for many things, Krsna is protecting me and maintining me through many ways, through you, Srila Prabhupada, friends, parents and my fiance. He's amazing, after one year of long distance relationship he still loves me, to this crazy lazy panda. Our backup plan it´s that he comes to my country and get married here. He will come on Kartik, i hope Krsna allow us to see each other soon.

I don´t want to leave without saiying this.

I love you as a person can love someone who gives life meaning and hope, as a person can love someone who teaches you to live, as a person can love someone who reminds you of Krsna every day, as a person can love someone who inspires you to chant the holy name.

Your aspiring servant

Key ear tea duh day v daw see.

TB/ BW - Cool!

The wind blows in the trees and someone on his doorstep he sees.

Krsna is a jealous lover.

Maybe He wants to be sure that you realize any husband in this world is just His representative.

In the beginning there is a tendency to impersonalism, but that is the basis for liberated Rasa, natural life.

News, news, of the days, eventually, in the village were Krsna plays.

From Whatsapp:

"Hare krishna Gurudev. Dandavat pranam unto your lovely feet. Hope by Gods grace you are fine in all respect. Gurudev please help me to get out of one doubt that some time i find and become suddenly angry when I see very very small ants are roaming inside deities aason although i do cleaning daily in the morning and evening before daities sleeping. Is it inexcusable sin? I am sorry to kill your valuable time. Again dandavat pranam unto your lotus feet."

HpS - AgtSP. paoho. Sorry slow to answer. Have fever from too much geriatric athletics in Ekadasi while fasting in very hot weather!

We have ants also. They do not bite unless they get trapped under our clothes and that is little irriation.

We are so, so clean. We try to find their tunnel doorways and put sealing paste on them, but then keep on finding new entrances.

Even there is sprinkling of mango drops on our sink they come in great crowds and devout it.

Also a mouse who eats things.

Krsna das Kapiraja, Srila Prabhupada, say that this is the material world. There are ants everywhere. They are to push us to more and more cleanliness. Deciding what things we can protect eg. putting saucers of water under the altar feet so they can't get in.

Yet, ultimately surrendering to the protection of the Hari nama Sankirtan.

Fight them to the best of your ability, but look at them like weeds that walk. They have no more intelligence, nor malicious intent.

O.K.??

From Whatsapp Urgent:

"Mis reverencias querido Gurudeva. 

 ABC Das and XYZ Devi Dasi write to you.

Sorry for contacting you with bad news.

We want to inform you that we have contracted COVID 19. They have been terrible days, you know that we have beautiful children and I am very worried about them.

Sometimes I think that I will soon die, sometimes I think that we will conquer the disease.

There are a lot of pain, nausea, dizziness. Vidagdha just got infected and that has increased my anguish.

I think I am a strong woman, but this has overwhelmed me. I am sorry for all the people who have gotten sick from this virus.

Gurudeva, at this time I know that the power of your prayers to Sri Krishna could help us, more than any medicine.

I beg you at your feet to intercede for us and if it is Krishna's wish we can heal soon. I wish you are very well. Your servants."

HpS - ASA - Thank you for writing us with this news. About every six years we have have a fever of some type, where walking to the bath room is a major challenge. We have seen how we are actually in better consciousness each time, after six years of chanting 16-niuce rounds.

We hope that this fever, disease is very useful to your family. Everyon, children, spouse, can look at each other with new love and spiritual vision.

Narada Muni's mama died and he took it as Krsna's mercy. He was only five years old.

We are sick now because of too much heat and stressful work while fasting on Ekadasi, so we just push to have happy music in our heart.

Then a smile comes to our face body!

Cheat the pandemic. Make it a step for reaching Krsna.

Send more news.

Por favor acepte mis reverencias adorado GURUDEVA!

Todas las glorias a Srila PRABHUPADA!

Deseo que Usted se encuentre bien de salud y feliz en Su maravillosa conciencia de Krsna.

Deseaba contarle que Se sumaron más alumnas al taller de Danza. Una es psicóloga y otra chica está muy interesada en la conciencia de Krsna debido a que su esposo tocaba en el grupo sudharshana !! Un banda de devotos musicos de buenos aires. Así que él conoce a los devotos, ha tomado prasadam y los recuerda con mucho cariño.

Ahí me tomé una foto con ellos y se la envío ( la primera foto)

Veo como Krsna me pone aquí mucho servicio para ayudar así que le pido sus bendiciones para poder seguir adelante a pesar de las reestricciones por pandemia.

En realidad sé que todo esto ocurre por Sus bendiciones Gurumaharaja. Estoy muy muy agradecida por estos servicios que me da mi hermoso señor de ojos de loto.

Es sorprendente que siempre estoy conociendo gente muy favorable.

las fotos siguientes son de la última clase presencial. Este día reparti ladhus a mis alumnas y pude presentarles un poema de la luz del bhagavata. Explicándoles que en realidad danza el alma y esa danza del alma se vé a través del cuerpo material....algunas alumnas tienen problemas físicos y me sorprende su disposición y entusiasmo por aprender.

Ahora estoy dictando sólo clases virtuales hasta 18 junio y despues no se sabe...

Hable con prabhu Parama Karuna Das... .

Creo que en realidad yo no tengo mucha experiencia y más bien le pedí a el que nos contará sus experiencias en India y lo que deseará para así entusiasmar a mis alumnas. .

Me dijo que estaría encantado de hacerlo. Pero no nos hemos vuelto a comunicar. Estoy esperando su misericordia. La única manera que tengo es por watsap.. debido a que no estoy conectada nunca, pero los mensajes quedan ahí.

Gurumaharaja , gracias por su tiempo .

Perdone por favor cualquier ofensa por aquí.

Gracias por apreciar los " poemas " que escribo. Me alegra mucho que le gustara el de Su vyasa puja. Es simplemente lo que siento en el corazón y es todo gracias a Usted.. Como los ríos vuelven hacia el mar... todo es por Su misericordia Gurudev!!!!

Franco le va escribir pronto

Intentando complacer Su hermoso corazón de mantequilla y miel.. difícil describir con p.a.l.a.b.r.a.s

Su intento de discípula que lo adora y recuerda siempre:

Please accept my obeisance adored GURUDEVA!

All glories to Srila PRABHUPADA!

I wish that You are in good health and happy in Your wonderful Krsna consciousness.

HpS - Actually we are as usual, struggling to surrender to Holy Names at Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Prabhupada's lotus feet. 😵

I wanted to tell you that more students joined the dance workshop.

ASA - Good! Better any other thing! Make it more intense and pure! Dancing for Krsna. Yet, always should be relaxing also.

One is a psychologist and another girl is very interested in Krsna consciousness because her husband played in the Sudharshana group !! A band of devoted musicians from Buenos Aires. So he knows the devotees.

he has taken prasadam and remembers them very fondly.

There I took a photo

with them and sent it to them (the first photo)

I see how Krsna gives me a lot of service here to help,

so I ask for your blessings to be able to move forward despite the pandemic restrictions.

Actually I know that all this happens because of his, Guru maharaja's blessings.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!

I am very very grateful for these services that my beautiful lotus-eyed lord gives me.

It is surprising that I am always meeting very favorable people.

The following photos are from the last face-to-face class. This day I distributed ladhus to my students and was able to present them a poem from the Light of the Bhagavata. Explaining that the soul actually dances and that soul dance is seen through the material body

... some students have physical problems and I am surprised by their willingness and enthusiasm to learn.

Now I am only teaching virtual classes until June 18 and then it is not known ...

Talk to Prabhu Parama Karuna Das ...

I think that in reality I do not have much experience and rather I asked the one who will tell us about his experiences in India and what he will want in order to enthuse my students. .

He told me that he would be delighted to do so. But we have not communicated again. I am waiting for his mercy. The only way I have is by whatsapp .. because I am never connected, but the messages remain there.

Gurumaharaja, thank you for your time.

Please forgive any offense around here.

Thank you for appreciating the "poems" that I write. I am very glad that you liked the one from Your vyasa puja. It is simply what I feel in my heart and it is all thanks to You .. As the rivers return to the sea ... everything is by Your mercy Gurudev !!!!

Franco will write to you soon.

HpS - Oh, very nice, but he can just send art if he likes. Be very nice to hear from him.

Trying to please His beautiful heart of butter and honey .. difficult to describe with p.a.l.a.b.r.a.s

The intent of his disciple who adores him and always remembers:

RJPJ dd.

HpS - ASA - Some devotees have hearts like butter and some like diamonds, but until we are heating our heart with 16-nice rounds daily in the atmosphere of four principles strictly we won't begin to understand that, right?

asa-e (section on laddu gopal below); Laddu Gopal

Hare Krsna querido Gurudev, acepte mis humildes y sinceras reverencias a sus santos pies de loto.

HpS - ASA - Piese de lobo?? 🐺

TlgSP!!!! HpS - !!!

Estas últimas dos semanas viajé a Orlando USA por invitación de Yasodanandanesvari y Vidusaka para conocer a Syam Krsna Gopal Das, perdone por no haberle informado, creí que no se concretaría el viaje por motivos de pandemia, llevamos 4 meses conociéndonos virtualmente y pasamos la fiesta del Señor Nrsimha haciendo servicio para la clase de SS Trivrikrama Maharaja, realizamos sadhana, fuimos al Templo de Naimisaranya en Miami, donde obtuvimos darsan de las deidades, luego viajamos a Alachua donde compartimos con devotos latinos, comunidad, muy hermosamente organizada, con deidades bellísimas y servicio muy determinado.

ASA - Esa es una oración larga. 💪 💪 👍 💪

Allí tuve la bendición de recibir a Gopal Laddu como regalo de una madre que es pujari y que me otorgó ese servicio para purificarme y avanzar en mi vida espiritual. Me autoriza Gurudev para servir a Laddu Gopal en mi sadhana matutino?

HpS - He is not exactly in our Sampradaya. As we worship Krsna with Radha, Pusti-marge sampradaya worship Krsna with Yasoda, and Laddu Gopala as their principle deity. There was a Laddu Gopala diety on the altar in Dehli temple but they decided He should only be present for Janmastami as we understand.

So, I would say it is nice on you personal altar, but not for the big institution. Talk with devotees about simple worship. If you take second initiation it can be more official.

También tomé darsan en el centro de prédica de Gainesville, las guirnaldas de jazmín del cabo realmente purificaron mi mente y mi corazón.

Luego viajamos a Santo Domingo, donde pude emocionarme con la dulzura de Sus Señorías Sri Sri Gaura Nitay y donde me conmoví mucho, muchísimo con la precariedad y austeridad del templo, ruego a Radha y Krsna que envíen a un matrimonio brahmana cualificado, entusiasta y con cualidades administrativas a aportar a ese Yatra.

Ya me encuentro en Chile haciendo la cuarentena en un hotel por 5 días por lo que he podido estar en FMP, leer, cantar, siento que estas realmente son unas vacaciones, ya que no he tenido quehaceres domésticos y donde me he alimentado adecuadamente.

He vuelto con muchos compromisos, que espero usted acepte como ofrenda, terminar el curso de discípulos que no concluí, pero que si tengo claro en mi corazón. Volver a asistir al pujari una vez a la semana y semana por medio quedarme para mangala Arati, también aportar cortando vegetales una vez a la semana en Alimentos Libres una ONG que se está concretando acá en Chile. Seguiré decorando para las fiestas de agosto ya y día a día tomar la santa asociación de FMP, cantar mínimo 16 rondas diarias Krsna mediante.

Con Cristóbal mi hijo aún intensionando mejoras para su vida, sigue rebelde, me comunique con Mandhara Sakha para que puedo apoyarlo y guiarlo con herramientas para su desarrollo positivo y solo me queda orar... Recordábamos a madre Saci con una devota mayor, sin embargo ella se purificaba con las proezas del Señor Caitanya.

Prepararme día a día para poder servir mejor en esta misión, donde muchas veces, no valoramos lo que tenemos hasta que lo perdemos y donde es bueno siempre agradecer lo que hay para que Radharani le diga a Krsna que estamos aquí para dar lo mejor de nosotros mismos en la casa que nos dejó Srila Prabhupada para vivir en el mundo.

Estamos leyendo con Syam el Canto 3 del Bhagavatam como instrucción suya a él, también estamos leyendo por las mañanas el Canto 1, para ir avanzando juntos y mejorando nuestra comprensión espiritual, él ha sido una potente inspiración para mi determinación y hábitos diarios devocionales🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Mis reverencias eternas Gurudev, felizmente agradecida y rendida a sus pies de loto.

Laksmiradha DD.

HpS - Keep advice from local devotees. 4-principles, 16-rounds.... !!! Perfection. Best wishes for your son!

Hare Krsna, querido Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias

¡Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las Glorias a Usted, que nos guía por el camino amarillo trazado por su divino maestro.

ASA[tb/bw] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm3ypbAbLJ8 Aparece que tiene un poco valor, pero tambien uno poco loco tambien, no? 😅  😅 😅



Orando para que se encuentre en buena salud, escribo para comentarle 3 asuntos:

1- En medio de fuertes lluvias, han brotado algunas rosas en casa. Envió foto con la esperanza de que quizá usted desee ofrecerlas a Lord Nrisimhadeva.

HpS - Con unas nubes de fragrancia! Transparta nos a Goloka.

2- Leí detenidamente su publicación sobre el divorcio. Muchas gracias, me parece contundente, real y práctica. Espero poder escribir al respecto en un futuro. (https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12498/)

HpS - Lo hiso Monocito. Es un brahmacari. Vida simple, pensamientos elevados, no?

3- Hoy durante FMP, usted pregunto ¿Cuentas Felices?... no me sentí capaz de responder apropiadamente y lo he reflexionado un poco:

Debido a múltiples situaciones tuve un colapso físico, psicológico y emocional. Durante meses luche con fuerza para mantener mi voto de 16 rondas mínimo... Cada ronda tardaba mucho más de lo normal, pero hice todo lo que pude por no fallar. Aún así, creo que mi canto era muy mecánico (Tal vez en cierta medida sigue siendo así)…

En medio de eso, FMP fue de gran ayuda, y además recordaba su descripción del duro invierno en Rusia y como los devotos tenían que “luchar” contra la nieve para llegar al templo y asistir a Mangala Aratika... Usted dijo: “¡El único pretexto para no asistir a Mangala Aratika es la incapacidad para arrastrarse!”. También recordaba la respuesta a una carta que le envié hace años… “Una devota, era sorda de nacimiento, no podía cantar el Maha- mantra con voz audible, pero cantaba 16 rondas todos los días con su mente”

Así que yo pensé ¡Solo tengo que arrastrarme y seguir cantando!... Y al parecer poco a poco he logrado salir de ese frío canto mecánico. Aunque no tengo verdadero gusto por el Santo Nombre, creo que tengo fe y que confío totalmente en la misericordia sin causa de nuestro Señor. Él nunca me ha abandonado y se manifiesta de muchas formas. Aún así yo - tonta ingrata- me mantengo cantando sin gusto real. 

Espero, por su misericordia sin causa, algún día poder responder ¡“Si, Cuentas Felices! -Y decirlo con total sinceridad -. Mientras tanto me mantengo cantando con fe. Le ruego me disculpe por mis innumerables faltas.

HpS - Si una Mama tiene un bebe muy pequenyo y banya y cambio ropa cada dia y vea que tiene alimiento bueno, y es infeliz que not tiene un sentimiento para su bebe, piense la Bebe quiere mucho su Mama?

Cantar mecanicamente no es un asunto pequenyo, no? Un Mercedes-Benz es un maquina, pero quien no quiere tener un nuevo M-B? Aparece que Krsna mismo aprecia Japa mecanica. No confundir sentimientos burdos con amar. No dejar cantar es AMOR muy advanzado. 

Muchas gracias Guru Maharaja.

Su sirviente
