Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaj,

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!

Please Accept My Humble Obeisances!

Thank you so much for your everlasting wisdom and knowledge. I am very grateful. I always love your responses. You just know what to say.

HpS - AGTSP!!!! 🙄

Family is good!! Everyone is enjoying quarantine life. Devaki and I have been jamming guitar a lot lately. I think I am improving slowly. I can play many songs now, not perfectly, but you can understand. I just figured out how to play Jaya Jagannath today. It's so fun.

HpS - 21st Century Bhajan Band!

I am trying to improve my chanting. I did a nice Japa walk today. I think this is the best way. To productively do something while chanting. Is it okay to chant while driving?

ASA - Awk! Chant always, but the 16-rounds with the primary focus. If you chant on beads while driving, DON'T have them in your bead bag.

Directly know two devotees in accidents because of that. Hang them around your neck and then you can drop them quickly if you have to use your right hand quickly to negotiate your vehicle through a pack of wild Australian rhinocerous.

I drop my sister off to work and I chant while driving :0 I hope this is not bad. I know many devotees who do. Perhaps it is not the most focused method...

HpS - Chant, praying for ability to chant better!

I don't have a burning desire to become rich hahah. Although it'd be nice to have money to buy what I need. Although usually what I need, Krsna always provides. If I had so much money I think I could open a restaurant. Or even a temple. And perhaps I design it.. hahah. Who knows?? Or perhaps it's best I don't come in contact with too much good so that I don't lose faith or become greedy or corrupt. Although I don't think I will. But we never know...

ASA - "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely, and all great men have almost always been bad men", Lord Acton. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dalberg-Acton,_1st_Baron_Acton)

Only Krsna knows. Hopefully he will guide me to my path very soon.

HpS - We hope so. You are too good of a person to waste in less important stuff.

Enrollments are open uni and I will need to apply soon before they close for the next semester. Otherwise, to be honest, I think I can figure out a lifestyle without completing a degree. I mean I have a diploma in business already and I have enough common sense for things. But to satisfy my mother and I guess the norms of society I should study something.

HpS - Try some theater classes. Psychology 1A B, Psychology third year - Perception. Look for good teachers and take whatever classes they are offering, not important the subject.

Although, everyone tells me we need to be properly educated, with a degree. That's okay. I'll figure things out. Sorry for always whinging. Please forgive me. I am just thinking out loud.

Thank you again for always guiding me. I'm sorry for always bothering you.

Hare Krsna.

Your servant,

Lakshmi

HpS - Et al! Thank you! Our respects to:

Your Papa,

Mama,

The Bhima, The Little Sister

Uncle, Aunt... The Dhruva/Dhanevari!!

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obessiences all glories to Srila Prabhupad and on your lotus feet!

Sorry for the late annual report . I was confused because we are thinking about coming Houston having your association there. We did not think about annual report on blog. we are extremely begging your forgiveness for that.

·        Everyday doing 16 rounds mostly trying to finish in morning. Doing morning program (Still not attending mangal arthik)

·        Book distribution in our neighborhood and Indian stores.

·        Attending weekly temple program and doing prasadam service and other services.

·        Reading Bhagavatam and Nectar of Devotion in conference calls everyday. We used to study Chaitanya Charitamrita before my trip to India, now we are thinking to resume the same.

·        Doing Bhakti Sastri ( We are in BG 17^th chapter) with Richmond Sanga under “Divyanam Prabhu”.

·        Following regulative principles.

I really want to express my gratitude at your Vyasapuja in Houston, but unable to do due to shyness and nervous in front of you and many devotees.

I am so blessed to have your darsan in Houston. We missed this year your association in Richmond. I really want to say thank you ( thank you is not enough) because you are such an affectionate, responsible and wonderful spiritual father, who is always guiding us and taking care of your children.

Please forgive me if I did any mistake and bless me to have strength to follow your orders in Prabhupada’s mission.

We hope to have your darshan in Richmond in this year.

Your Servant

Krishna Pramodini Devi Dasi

HpS - Thank you!!!! AgtSP! Paoho. Was so nice to see you in Houston, then in Richmond and then to get to this letter. It came while we were traveling so it is slow to get answered. Faster response explained in the Kapi Dhvaja, Letters to the Editor. You seem to be 100% on the right path. Just continue and learn how to move faster. Krsna has more and more service for us, here and in Goloka!!

AgtSP.... Esta Post llega completamente vacio! Su repotaje es que han alcansado Niravana y ya esta uno con la Buddha??! 😎

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO.

Today we start a meeting in Zoom with Indhira Shakti dd, Lavagna Mangala dd, Madhumati dd and María.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!

I had the desire to read SP 's books but with the perspective of a lady. So I asked them if they want to meet at least through internet and today we started with one verse from SB which purport I like the most. SB 1.8.20

There it is stated that we God bless the ladies to have the character to believe in Him without mental speculation we believe by ❤️.

It was very nice to share with my friends our realizations and all of us come to the conclusion that we started to believe in Krsna immediately we came in contact with Krsna Consciousness.

Next week we are going to read NOI.

Please I humbly request that U bless us in order to continue with our meetings. We need to be prepared in order to preach future ladies that may come to the movement.

I am also improving my cooking due to this Quarantine. My sister is veggie now haha. And I am giving online classes. I am giving classes to Jiyada Nrismha d (he is studying English).

Regarding the Questions Bank of SB can I help with SB canto 1 chapter 8? Or do you need help in other cantos or chapters? Please let me know.

HpS - We try to do our own work, study from 6.30-7.30 AM each day. We need to add time after the classes to post the results. It is very much pioneer work, developing an institutional educational system. We are more and more satisfied. Now Gandharva Das, Isvari radha Devi Dasi and HpSwami are working on questions for SB 2.1-3, first module. That is enough for now. Then we can all start work on the next module after a few days. We will talk more about our realizations tomorrow. Thank you.

Nothing but good can come from your Ladies SB group!

Thanks Gurudeva for your inspiration

See U in Cyber space

Trying to be your disciple

Hare Krsna Gurudeva.

Agt SP!!

Jay Nimai Nitai!!!

My obeisances Guru Maharaja.

How are You?

HpS - Just like you, suffering. We are in hell!! Yet, have our beads in front of us and Lord Jagannatha's association, Hare Krsna.

I wish You are fine. I hope your days in the garden are very rewarding.

HpS - We spent 30-minutes with the Weed Whipper and we able to cut a lot of the tall grass. Our arms were so tired afterwards that we could barely hold the cell phone, but we were HAPPY! Dancing for Krsna!

I, my sadhana, well, brahma muhurta, 4/16. CC in the morning, BG the rest of the day, and some of Upadesamrta.

FMP with you and everyone.

Thanks to Your mercy, Prabhupada, Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, my rounds and my conscience, each day is better.

The presence of Paramatma as the true owner of the body, the vehicle with which I move, is more and more predominant every day. Many realizations derived from this feeling, of how we are one and different from Krsna, since one, thanks to the Maha mantra, learns to revive his spiritual senses, which do not see any problem with this affirmation.

I hope you can bless me, so that one day I can become a pure devotee, and if possible obtain spiritual insanity.

My reverence Guru Maharaja.

P.D: Maharaja, I have cured a food allergy that inflamed my airways and throat with chlorine dioxide, and since I was 14 years old, my throat was not like that, and my lungs were not inflamed. And although I do sports, as fair, and I am very healthy, now I can move my bones like never before doing stretches. The toxins that create happiness and arthritis, among other things, have been burned. I think it can be very useful to detoxify the whole body as if it were Panchakarma, I have experienced it.

I understand that perhaps these things do not matter much to you, so I will not comment on it more times.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva.

HPS - ClO2 ? Chlorine Dioxide. How do you get it? How do you administer it? Hope you get some Sankirtan partners soon.

Hare Krishna beloved Guru Maharaja PAMHO AGTS! I have been listening to most of your on-line classes, they are very interesting and useful to increase our knowledge in Krishna consciousness, it most be quite tiring on the other hand to give daily classes though, You should have some rest and maybe give less clases per week, or probably just in English. I hope we overcome this pandemia soon, I would like you to be over and perhaps we could have another boat programme. I will be following you no matter the circumstances. It is clearer now that there are first, second, and third class devotees, you always have the right words to enthuse your disciples, so I must follow you and not pay attention to others.

I attach some pictures from Lord Nrisinhadeva + Prahalad,

your very many fallen servant,

Jagat Bandhu Jagannatha Swami dasa

HpS - Thank you, thank you. AGTSP!!! Paoho.... We are trying, like you, to control our senses, time, so that we can be better servants. Devotional service is such fun, no??! We hope the Kapi Dhvaja is useful. We really focus on that as our basic means of communication. Let us look at some more letters. Those with the Priority Code from the Kapi Dhvaja first!!!!!
