Letters to the editor

Maharaj, PAMHO AGTSP. Updates: I've been chanting best I can (still not good quality). But I'm feeling I'm in this extremely low, drained state. It's not like me to be so low on motivation. But I'm having a hard time putting my finger on what I'm supposed to do different. I know you told me to chant better rounds. I'm trying 🙏

Your servant,

Eastern Bear

In general - https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/8/#bb6003 ! ! !

If we can say: Where is the airport? We can say: Hare Krsna, Hare Rama. So, it is a matter of just doing it in the beginning. Karma-misra-bhakti-yoga. Then we see the results and we begin to understand that this is useful. Linking by action and logic. Then... This is advice from a Sannyasi, family, co-workers, politicians will give advice from other perspectives. !! . Can you do 16-rounds/day????

?

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga!

My obeisances at His lotus feet, His Holiness Hanumat Presaka Swami,

HpS - The only lotus feet we have are those of Srila Prabhupada as he steps into our ISKCON lives and dwellings. You have those also, no?

Radha Japa Prati Jalpa dd, told me that You are willing to be my Diksha Guru, I was sincerely surprised by Your mercy. At this time I am not singing my 16 rounds but I am sure that with His blessings I will make it through.

HpS - We are willing to be Diksa guru under the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and HIS Iskcon for the whole world. You can do the job also! What to speak of you. We always hear about you from RPJDD, and want very much to serve your Sankirtan however we can!

In 99.99% of the cases 16-rounds are very useful for anyone. Maybe take a vow to chant a certain number until the next Ekadasi eg. four, or whatever you are sure you can do!! Then see the result.

With all these situations like the pandemic it reminds me that death follows us on every side and it would be very good for me to work for Krsna and His devotees, to purify this existence, Your guide would be very good. At this moment I feel like in the Brahman, floating.

Excuse me for my writing, short. I am not a man of many words, I like listening more.

Eternally grateful, a poor soul caught in illusion:

HpS - So, happy to hear from you. We always remember one movie where Clint Eastwood said, "I don't talk much, but when I talk, my pistol speaks for me."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LWJdzXDSmQ is maybe where it is. In English... 🙄

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a Sri Guru y Gauranga!

Mis Reverencias a Sus pies de loto Su Santidad Hanumat Presaka Swami,

Radha Japa Prati Jalpa dd, me contó que Usted está dispuesto a ser mi Diksha Guru, Sinceramente me sorprendió Su misericordia . En este momento no estoy cantando mis 16 rondas pero estoy seguro que con Sus bendiciones lo lograré. Con todas estas situaciones como la pandemia me hace recordar que la muerte nos sigue a cada lado y sería muy bueno para mi trabajar para Krsna y Sus devotos, para purificar esta existencia, 

 Sería muy buena Su guía. 

En este momento me siento como en el brahman , Flotando.

Disculpeme mi manera de escribir, resumida. No soy un hombre de muchas palabras, me gusta más escuchar.

Eternamente agradecido, una pobre alma atrapada en ilusión:

Bhakta Franco

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

It was very pleasing to our soul to have your darshan, at least via internet, when you were in Richmond. Your smile gives always solace to our existence ¡¡¡

HpS - It was after one year of living in our little cave! 😀 Experiment in travel. So nice to have M/Arati with live bodies. So, nice to shar beautiful altar with our virtual Sanga. Thank you.

I continue teaching in two universities sometimes Saturdays and Sundays as well. Nevertheless, we refuse to be a full time professor due to that will affect our Sadhana. With this pandemic state we teachers have the challenge to learn new techniques for distance education. I'm thrilled to learn new things.

HpS - It seems that many communities have been tested by this Karuna virus. The shopping mall community has d i e d. What has happened to Saga Falla Bella in Peru? On the other had ISKCON seems to have done well. Seems many people are appreciating the ISKCON, H/K movement, can do well, prosper, in many circumstances.

Maybe New Ashokavan will be a good model for all of Peru?

I was wondering if I can travel to the USA in order to get the Co-vid 19 vaccination. Here in Peru-patalaloka it seems that we need to wait for a long time. M Subhra was investigating for me, my cousin as well. What do you think about that? I was also thinking to be near some friends due to I do not know how my body will react.

HpS - We don't know. We had to wait until health care, essential care, folks over 75 years got theirs. It is by state. Subra would know better. Here none of our community has had much more than a very mild reaction. Then, it is mutating! Have to learn to live in a little village (with naughty Gopal) and then these things are automatically controlled.

I have some news about my life, one friend of mine, Claudia Cáceres (she is psychologist), is going to move to my house for some time. Her parents decided to sell her house, without telling her. She has 2 kids. They are going to live for some time with their father. They are divorced. She is going to rent one room. She is a nice girl, very intelligent and warm - hearted.

ASA - Super! She has cat also? P'pada said that anyone who follows the four principles and doesn't cause a disturbance is welcome on our land... Maybe she can reconcile with her husband.

I always recall the words from my mother "Always help the elders" Maybe in the future I may turn my house into a place in which the elders can hang out.

HpS - Village!

The only practical service that I have is in Chosica. I give SB classes, actually a group of ladies give classes every Saturday. This Saturday is my turn. Please your blessings in order not to speculate and say something useful.

HpS - May the dead bless the dead! We always pray that we don't do the same! I guess that because they give SB classes that is why we can say that they are, stay, ladies. I can see that my Karma is at the door at any moment leading me to become stupid, lusty beast. Srila Prabhupada!!

Srila Prabhupada!!

... Srila Prabhupada!!

... ... Srila Prabhupada!!

That is all what I have to report.

ASA (TB/MP) --- Hey! Are there art pictures of your altar attached? Ulysses? Sister?? Cats?? (My God, we put your sister in the same line as the cats!!!) She's a great person, no? So, lucky to have a nice sister.

Neighbors?

Thanks for your association see you at FMP

Trying to be your disciple CMDD

Respected Senor,

PAMHO,AGTSP,

Can you elaborate on the line "Until we learn to lover everyone we will never be worthy of everyone's love. It is our independent free choice.

Of course, in the Madhyama adhikari stage this means learning to avoid the things that make us hate them. That is part of our independent process of love."

Esp the words - "independent process of love" as context of Madhyam Adhikari.

Which your grace (My Holiness [Sannyasi] 😁 😁😁) wrote in https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/12299

Trying to [change??] self from Sugriva to Hanuman

HpS - ASA - We have free will. It is part of our fundamental nature. In Madhayama adhikari stage it is beginning to manifest. Like a child or even a dog can make personal choices if the circumstances are kept in the mode of goodness for them, no?

High MA, low MAdhikari...

Even if spouse, boss, is mean to us, we can make the choice to not become a victim, to try to understand the situation and help them.

Bali may never appreciate Sugriva in this lifetime, but doesn't mean that Sugriva has to become his enemies enemy.

Some help?

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj,

Dandavat pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet (lettuce feet).

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to Gour Nitai.

First of all, please forgive me for not communicating with you in your blog never before.

I, Kancanrangi Devi Dasi from Cachar , Assam, India, one of your desciples under the instruction of H. H. Bhakti Anand Haridas Maharaj, would like to inform you that I am going to move into Grihastha life and the wedding ceremony will be held on 28th April 2021.

HpS - AGTSP!!! Read the story of Kardama and Devahuti in the Third Canto with your fiancEe, respected husband. We hope that Krsna enlightens both of you and all others involved to execute the sacrifice of Grhastha ashrama perfectly, and make Him and Guru very happy.

We humbly beg your blessings upon us that we would become a good Grihastha in future.

By the mercy of Gour Nitai may you live healthy and blissful. Dandavat pranam Guru Maharaj.

Thank you.🙏🙏🙏🙏

HpS - We all thank you! Please! Send pictures of the weddings with names of the people involved.

I'd like to share good news with those who follow HH Hunumauntpresaka (Hanumat-presaka) Swami's blog, where I get my advice and instructions from.

I've taken his main instruction of never give up, and always chant the holy names of the lord.

After about three years I've been added to the list of becoming his deciple (disciple).

This brings me great peace of mind, and feel much more connected to the Vaisnavas and the Parampara.

HpS - It is a great honor for us to be able to help you in this or other capacity. Srila Prabhupada has taken some notice of you??? Why not??

This is the mercy of guru, one who has spilled gallon's of blood to bring me and others to a position where we can become more than we've ever imagined. to be free of the conditions that have bound one to our needs and wants, and to stop the downward spiral of life.

HpS - AgtSP who made his Generals out of Mud!

To a higher standard of life that knows no bounds. it's assuring to know there's someone helping you in the endeavor.

My purpose now is learning to be the servant of the servant of the servant. which I've seen the master teach by his example tirelessly giving of himself.

I wanted to share my good fortune and looking forward to being of some service to my fellow comrades.

Hare Krishna

You're servant Mike Jarvis

HpS - We came in contact with Bhakta Michael a few years ago. As we remember he was in Seattle and trying to get formal initiation then. We've had nice conversation. Then, a few weeks ago, Badri-naryana Swami formally recommend Mike as a candidate and we had a very nice phone conversation while we were in Richmond with Subal, Mataji and everyone.

He was in the merchant marine for several years. His ships went to Asia and now he is retired and can do full time service in the San Diego temple.

Senyor Miguel Jarvis... please send us some news of your service each month. Your realizations of Radha Giridhari et al!!!
