PAMHO

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Gurudeva.

This is Sacimata dd.

I am very thankful with you for all you do for us. I am so lucky to have you as my Spiritual Master. All my life since your initiation I try to follow your instructions. Your personal instructions touched my heart and I am very happy now to be your disciple. I realize that happiness come whenever I have Krishna to serve every day. Your last instruction in Atlanta 2017 was about to serve Krishna at home that I just to do at the temple. I cook and offer everything that goes to my table. We offer all kind of fruit in our altar. We offer fresh flowers every 10 days. We keep our home clean. We chant rounds sometimes walking around these neighborhood.

My relationships with Caitanya Lila is better now, he is doing good as a father and husband.

Gaurangi is doing well at school. She draws beautiful pictures of Bhagavatam.

Dear Gurudeva have a wonderful Nytiananda Trayodasi.

Please let us know when are you coming to Alachua.

Sincerely,

your lucky servant.

Sachimata Devi Dasi.


HpS - 😁

Hare Krsna!! My God! We think about your both from time to time and wish we had news from you. Well I guess one letter or visit every 18-months is pretty good. It is so nice to hear from you.

As Diksa guru we hope you are chanting 16-nice rounds a day and following four principles strictly. Of course, that guarantees that we will come to the platform of Uttama-adhikari. As Siksa guru, we can only say that you report is very heart warming for me and everyone. We hope that you are taking good care of Gaurangi and see realizes the potencial she has from being born to such parents.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj,

Dandavat pranam unto your lotus feet. 

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Gauranga.


HpS - ASA -- AgtSP!!! Paoho...


Dear Guru Maharaj,

This is your disciple, Brajeshwari Radhey Devi Dasi from Silchar, Assam. I hope this letter finds you in good health. Since this is my first attempt at writing letter using this blog therefore kindly excuse me if I commit any mistakes.


HpS - We are just to happy that you are writing that we can ignore 99-mistakes!


I also apologise for not being able to utilize this blog and communicate with you before. Gaura Purnima at Imphal 2019 was the last time we had your divine association and also due to the ongoing Covid pandemic, it has been now more than a year and all of us here are waiting eagerly to have your darshan once again. 


HpS - If nothing improves we are thinking of coming in 2022-23 and staying in Radha Kunda in Ashrama of Divya-svarupa Das.


Regarding my personal sadhana, by the grace of Srila Prabhupada and your mercy, I am able to continue with my daily chanting of 16 rounds and the regulative principles. Also, every morning and evening nowadays, we are able to get the association of HH Bhakti Ananda Haridas Goswami Maharaj along with other devotees, my God-brothers and God-sisters through online Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita classes.


HpS - Super, super, super. You will return to your service in Goloka.


Currently, I am also working as a teacher at a school and I am trying my level best to balance both my spiritual and material life in the face of all difficulties.

  

Guru Maharaj, I wish to inform you that by the grace of the Lord, my marriage has been fixed on upcoming 5th March, 2021 to the son of your disciple, Nandini Devi Dasi. He works in the defence forces, and although he is not initiated yet, he is doing his sadhana of chanting 16 rounds daily and the four regulative principles. The marriage is being conducted under the guidance and supervision of HH Bhakti Ananda Haridas Goswami Maharaj. On this occasion, I humbly beg at your lotus feet to shower your mercy and blessings so that I can continue my devotional service and my sadhana consistently in the midst of all the duties and responsibilities under grhastha ashram. 


HpS - Read the marriage of devahuti and kardama muni together from the 3rd canto. It will give you WONDERFUL perspective.


Your fallen servant,

Brajeshwari Radhey Devi Dasi

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Acepte por favor mis reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada


Quería contarle que desde febeero estamos distribuyendo prasadam a las personas en situación de calle en el barrio, todos los sábados. Tal vez esto aumente con el tiempo.


Nosotros cocinamos y los distribuyen miembros de la comunidad que conocí haciendo Sankirtan.


Deseamos pronto ver su revista que hará para barrio, así poder tomar el concepto y hacer una aquí para nuestros vecinos.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I wanted to tell you that since February we have been distributing prasadam to homeless people in the neighborhood, every Saturday. Perhaps this will increase over time.

We cook and are distributed by members of the community that I met doing Sankirtan.

We hope to see soon your magazine that you will do for the neighborhood, so we can take the concept and make one here for our neighbors.


HpS - Thank you for the news! It is super... By your association we hope to get to our Neigborhood, Village, Bulletine: Hillcrest Howler. Hillcrest is name of the street. We live like at the crest of the crest of the street, and Howlers are types of monkeys. So maybe we can adopt that ego. We wrote notes for it but not yet published. Your association gives us much impetous.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Orando a Nrshimhadeva por su protección, esperamos que el dolor de cabeza se vaya pronto... Como le dije en el Chat del FMP, hable con Sita Lalita, y otras madres (necesito confirmar su participación) que dominan el ingles para poder traducir "Olas de la Devoción" al español... Si gusta puedo hacer las coordinaciones, solo necesito el archivo virtual, para distribuirlo... Usted que opina? podemos hacer ese humilde servicio? Espero escribirle pronto mi reporte... Gracias por todo Gurudeva.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!

Praying to Nrshimhadeva for your protection, we hope the headache will go away soon ... As I told you in the FMP chat, I spoke with Sita Lalita, and other mothers (I need to confirm their participation) who are fluent in English so that I can translate " Waves of Devotion "into Spanish ... If you like, I can do the coordination, I only need the virtual file, to distribute it ... What do you think? can we do that humble service? I hope to write my report soon ... Thank you for everything Gurudeva.


HpS - AGTSP. paoho. Wonderful. It will be a great benefit.

I don't have a virtual file. I have the book.

Ask Laksmana agaraja Das if he has a soft or hard copy, and anyone who reads it and has it can write here or contact you personally.

Dhanurdhara Swami gave us copyrights to do it.

Also check with Param-padama Das to see if he has a soft copy or one that can be scanned.

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Receive my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada


I wish that you receive this letter in good health and love for life in Krishna consciousness.

I am writing this letter after the suggestion of Maharaja Bhakti Prabhupada Damodara, for the matter that you are already aware of. I still didn't want to write you this letter and I feel almost obligated to do so, but here I am. I understand and appreciate the good intentions of BPD Maharaja but it causes me distress that he has communicated with you (once again) without taking into account my opinion about it and that makes me feel dejected, I feel that with this action he has disregarded my sense of individuality. I apologize to you for causing unnecessary distractions with this matter that is personal, important to me but it is a matter that I did not want to make public yet and the reason being the following.


Since January of this year I have gone through ups and downs that have affected me a lot in my service and sadhana, I am working every day to fix it, talking with my mind and acting to follow your instructions. However, as you have already noticed, I am absent from the daily programs with you and the reason is that unfortunately (for me) I am having doubts as to whether I am the type of disciple who can follow your instructions. For me it is difficult to write public letters, I prefer personal dealings, create a more personal guru-disciple relationship and lately I am not perceiving that with you, it seems a silly or superficial reason but it is affecting me more than I want, another reason is that, you always say that you are going to leave the body soon and that scares me. I feel despondent because it took me a lot to find you and value your position as a teacher as it should be and when I read that, I feel anguish of losing something extremely valuable.

Many years ago I knew that the relationship with you was with public letters and with daily programs, I accepted it and I got closer to you, since you inspire me greatly to be better every day, you awaken in me great admiration, one that I have not felt in other teachers.

 But in my heart there is also joy and inspiration with the instructions of another prabhupada disciple that I prefer not to mention for now. I am sad because I was sure that you were the teacher who inspired me to follow the path of bhakti but that inspiration, for now, I cannot perceive. I have looked for another preaching style to be able to "feel" that I am advancing in my spiritual development. I understand that it may be due to my irregular sadhana or lack of good association, there may be many reasons, it is my mind that is sabotaging me constantly.

It disheartens me that I would like to feel I am at the right level to be considered an excellent disciple, but as of now I am not doing so well. I am embarrased to write this letter and miss the great opportunity to continue to work with you on your daily programs. I am not sure how to conclude this letter since there are no apparent solutions and I do not want to occupy your time in small matters, I just want to apologize to you for any inconvenience and thank you for each of your teachings and your inspiration.

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna. It is very nice to hear from you. Even now our eyes are growing a little weak and it is difficult to see the keyboard clearly. Happens to everyone. Srila Prabhupada could not see well at all near the end of his physical body.

First the kids feel afraid of going to school, then they learn that it is so much fun they don't want to stay home.

We are afraid of losing bodily connection but then we learn that only when we give up the bodily conception of life can we actually have a personal relationship.

Madhumangala Das from BsAs told me about three years ago, that after being initiated by us for seven years he had finally figured out that we were not his psychologist we were his spiritual master. So, it is like that. Fear really comes from ignorance. Not so easy to understand Krsna. Not so easy to understand Balarama, the original Guru. Even Radha is trying to understand Balarama better.


I talked with BPVD Swami and I think he was just trying to do the austerity of arranging things for his disciple and of course he wanted to know my relationship with your good self. I told him that we had not had much contact her or in individual letters. So that forced him to try to approach it from different angles.


You can see that your situation in general is like, like maybe six more people. I can even name some of them. I cannot possible communicate about these more general perspectives with everyone. I was getting 450 letters a month before we started this Blog. Now is is probably manageable if we work at it.


Then again, for specific details there can be specific letters.


When I was living in the Berkeley temple but probably not initiated yet, Revantinandana Swami visited for some time. He had been Srila Prabhupada's secretary and spent a lot of time with him physically. He told us that one time he asked Srila Prabhupada that some of his disciples thought that he (Prabhupada) was conscious of everything they were doing eg. washing the temple floor, and was it true?

He said that SP said that he was not the super soul. When he needed to know something about a disciple then Krsna would inform him and usually externally.


The only really personal relationship that will satisfy you is with Krsna. He is everyones dear-most friend. It will come through father, husband, sons, Diksa gurus, Ashrama gurus, etc.

So again thank you.

We are very happy if you can develop relations with so many siksa gurus who can connect you with Srila Prabhupada. You have to have a personal relationship with him.
