Letters to the editor

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to HH . Hanumat Presaka Swami Guru Maharaj! Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet sweet sweet Lotus feet!

ASA - I guess if Srila Prabhupada mercifully gives His Lotus Feet to someone, then that person can be said to have sweet lotus feet. AGTSP!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

We discharged the last Corona positive patient just a couple of days back. Just 2 positive cases but had to put all the people under lockdown. As of now, Manipur becomes the first state in India to be COVID-19 free. Thank you Guru Maharaj. We are glorifying the Karuna virus...teaches us to revive our Vaishnava roots!

We had been conducting social awareness programme on the importance of using face mask, how to put it correctly, how to dispose, sanitisation....how to make sanitizer at home and social distancing. We distributed face masks and then prasadam....going house to house ...requesting them to stay home....chant...pray for all. In the lockdown and curfew...we are given curfew pass for doctors....so we get to attend mangal arti. We are attending SB classes...just 4 0r 5 of. We are in SB 3.20.8

Those on heavy duty....like the police...get to honour prasadam. They feel happy.

Today just after mangal arti we are going to distribute prasadam to whoever we find on the highway....the few we will find will be on emergency or essential services. We strictly follow the regulations of lockdown. HH Jaibhima Das Prabhuji and HH Ramanuja Das Prabhuji accompany us....we have a restriction that not more than 3 persons can travel in the car.

Encouraging our new aspirant Nilanda Ningthoujam to write to you dear Guru Maharaj....she was so happy to receive your reply last time.

Sending some photos .

We remember you all the time dear Guru Maharaj

Your insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Thank you for this news!! We drew a smile and monkey nose on our face mask! What are the first three biggest causes of death in USA every year?

previous Letter :10953 ..... date: 20200406,From Locked down home in Varanasi

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP!!!! Professor Harsh! the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code (KDPC) is not KDPC. That is like thinking that the CD is music!!! Oink!!! Whoop! WHoop!

The KDPC is in the Kapi Dhvaja i the letters to the Editor section each issue. People put it in their Title box and then we give priority to those letters and put KDPC there instead of the current code.. Let see what you got to say!!

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

PAMHO, AGTSP

Things are improving, at least Spiritually if not materially ( why care too much). We figured out that our reading is not like chapter by chapter, but topic by topic. So currently we limit ourselves to canto-2, we are reading, integrating, writing Virat purusa Chapter 1,4,10 from canto 2.

HpS - That is very nice. Donkeys read diferently than Monkeys, but they both go to Goloka.

another thing we figure out in ISKCON until unless read (black ink and white paper) and think we can not get the essence. We read Gaur arti did not sing that much , sang in mind. The line " jana man lobha", never realized till this point " is attracting the minds of all living entities in the universe"...

HpS ! !

started focusing on this line and got absorbed, like going in the movie, imagination going on the lines of prayers. I am sure you must have experienced the same many many times.

ASA - Often, you are a smaranam dude of the nine.

it never happened in temple, we got lost in mrdanga, kartal, sound, diety form, but not able to get to such depth.

dont know what species we are. only similar mortal being we got is you..but still we are far away.

hope to get initiated this trip of yours in Varanasi. The bridge seems to be okay. lets test it.

hope we can go ahead, in your foot steps.

trying to use boat of human body,

registration plate harsh

HpS - Such a nice letter. NOW!!! Read the KDh and put the current KDPC in the next Title box and God will send a chariot driven by white horses from the sky and put a samosa under your Christmas tree or something similar!!

Hare Krsna gurudev

Agtsp!!

Accept my pranam at your lotus feet.

HpS - Lettuce feet. AgtSP!!

Hope you are in good health

HpS - We have two teeth missing, our hearing and eyesight are going. Our short term memory has dimished. We always have mucous coming, some vertigo, but we have hope that science will adjust all this tomorrow and we will become immortal in this present body. How about you! (He.! Haw!)

and avoiding exhaustion due to excess work load .It must be difficult for you with corona virus pandemic in USA .

HpS - For us it is almost identical with our regular schedule here. Work in the office all day and go walking in the fresh air with NGD each evening. Sha Ping once a week.

I am OK physically . Fear of sudden death from corona virus has kind of made me realize that I need to reach the standards soon.

HpS - Yeah, other wise you will come back as. . . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

a member of the same family and start up where you left off in this life time. Ayeee!!! We may be in an ISKCON gurukula together!!!

I am chanting few rounds but still far away from the ideal standards. Cooking my own food mostly .Its difficult to get groceries due to lockdown .Small aarti and just hoping Gaura nitai being merciful will accept it .Regulations are OK 3.25/4 with intoxication with coffee sometimes but slowly stoping that too.I am too materialistic I guess and micromanage finances.

HpS - You are a pretty good guy! Just need a good Temple authority.

Am getting dreams of deities some nights now

ASA - TB/BW - Cool!!!!!!

..and chanting in dream these days which is rare ..guess indication that I need improve chanting before I die .This has not happened before .I go for a walk in the woods to relax my mind . Seems to work for me .

Last time u asked if I have friends ,honestly speaking no devotee friends here . Its a small community here at center (most are matajis) and I don't want to be too intimate with them or they might misunderstand my intentions . Guess I have to accept the fact that maybe its Krsna's mercy that I am suppose to be alone in this journey . Hahaha...forced sanyasi :)

I hope to meet you soon after this pandemic gets over and become a disciple again .

Hare Krsna

HpS - Hey, you are our friend! We really are happy when you write. Tell us about your job??

HK PAMHO Gurudeva,

les preguntare directamente a los devotos amantes de la educación si desean servir en este maravilloso proyecto de las preguntas del SB en grupo, posiblemente podemos hablar por face u otro media sobre esta propuesta o por intermedio de UD, que ya hablo con LAD de la propuesta.

En caso que no se reciba una respuesta o no sea posible, me gustaría igual ayudar en otro capítulo, ya estoy leyendo el segundo canto, ya tengo el link que le dio a P LAksman. Les escribí a madre Isvari y Gandharva y espero la respuesta. Prabhu Gandharva ya sabe la propuesta el me tradujo. Tengo algunas preguntas ya hechas, y se las enviare en otra carta y `para entonces por favor asígneme un capitulo para desarrollarlo como a los otros devotos, por favor debe su misericordia.

AQUÍ DESDE CENTRO CULTURAL SAKTI ESTAMOS EN LA CUARENTENA NO SABEMOS HASTA CUANDO Y YA EMPEZAMOS CLASES EN DIRECTO SOBRE EL SB.

Por favor permítame servirlo no tengo otro anhelo….

HARIBOLO

Su hija que lo adora:

Yugala Kishora Dasi.

HpS - Por favor, desculpa nuestra demurra responder! Es un gran desafio para nosotros. Puede enfocar en capitolo cuatro. Eso es increible. Pero, estas preguntas son para fin del canto: Breves y de ensayo. Envia lo que tiene bastante inmediante.

todas las glorias a Goura Nitay

todas las gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Hare krishna Guru. M comienzo reportando que en estas semanas de encierro a sido bueno en muchos aspectos a nivel familiar ya que estamos más comunicativos unidos y eso me parece muy bien nunca nos llevamos mal pero habían choques por mí parte donde ya las he superado porq las comense a trabajar además de esto he leído krishna book, biografía de Prabhupada además estudiando Pada padma repasando canciones haciendo collares, collage, cocinando, en el jardín de casa limpiando y transplantando plantas asido y será tiempo productivo, siempre mejorando en mi canto de rondas velocidad, tocar cada cuenta para hacer un buena buena ronda cada día levantándome temprano ya no como zombi 🧟‍♂️ jjjaajj cada dia mejor de la anemia y por último le cuento que estoy mi prédicando por Internet cada vez más fluida se despide su humilde sirvienta Raman Reti devi dasi

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

all glories to Goura Nitay

all glory to Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krishna Guru. I begin by reporting that in these weeks of confinement it has been good in many aspects at the family level since we are more communicative united and that seems very good to us we never got along badly but there were shocks on my part where I have already overcome them because I told them to work.

In addition to this I have read Krishna book, Prabhupada's biography, also studying Pada padma, reviewing songs, making necklaces, collage, cooking, in the home garden. cleaning and transplanting grassed plants and it will be productive time,

always improving in my speed rounds singing, playing every account to make a good good round every day, getting up early no longer as a zombie j️ jjjaajj

every day better from anemia and finally I tell you that I am my preaching on the Internet more and more fluent

his humble servant,

Raman Reti devi dasi, says goodbye,

HpS - ASA --- Thank you! We read the entire www.translate.google.com translation. It is very, very enlivening. It is practically speaking impossible that this is your first lifetime doing this. Must have been a Sannyasis in your last lifetime but had some sentimental attraction to Romeo and Juliet.

What about the children your were watching? Do you talk with them??? Yes, Japa with more attention.

Careful of your brain! Corpus callosum.

Hare krishna

PAMHO AGTSP

Dear Maharaja

i hope you are in good health and good , in thru all this chaos of the pandemic...

well, as you said, the evil one got me, but Krishna is stronger! and has never left me alone...

chaos or time out from the accelerated lifestyle? i have seen some light with all of this lockdown thing, its like finally i have time to seat and see whats in front of me.

HpS - ASA -- Karuna virus not Corona Virus

Maharaja, first of all i wanted to ask you, if there is a meaning in our dreams?

HpS - What is the meaning of the World Soccer Cup? Things like rain and earthquakes happen in the gross level and dreams happen on the subtle level. Same, just different level, but dreams (and statues) about Krsna and Guru are not ordinary.

... following principles after that period of darkness has become my main task! also chanting rounds as it sounds so easy and i fail to do it properly but as i always say "i have to stop giving myself excuses for not doing what i have to do to clean all the dirt from my heart."

HpS - We have to bathe daily and wash our clothes daily. Same with our Prana, minds, intelligence. Every day Maya makes you dirty.

im listening to your classes and broadcastings thru facebook and trying to fight with the timezone to be able to get in time online (i still dont know the difference between timezones so im working on it) also reading Kapi Dhvaja !

HpS - Also, try to get local association. Get Srila Prabhupasa's association.

also taking a beautiful course called "Introduction to Vaishnavism" at "Cultura del Bhakti" , Prabhu Param Padam Das and his wife have done an amazing job with this site and im learning a lot, feel more guided !

Due to the lockdown here in Panama we are allow out just 2 hours a day, 3 times a week the women and twice a week the men, past Wednesday i took those two hours to go running and give my obeisances to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Vijay Gauranga Nityananda Ram, take some darshan and then some prasadam! we are working on keeping it together and study a lot, im taking Bhagavatam online classes in the morning after chanting my rounds, and in the afternoon i look for the open classes online, im feeling this as Krishna´s mercy with all of these pure devotees of the lord giving classes, im learning a lot!

ASA - You can learn how to ride a motor cycle and be a Demon Killer for Buddha? https://www.kawasaki.com/Category/Motorcycle

like i said in my last letter, things werent going so well, but i find the strength in the Lord to get up and keep walking, even if sometimes i feel im just crowling, i wont give up.

HpS - Hmmmm. Really what options do we have? Try and be Donal Trump?

i wanted to ask you, in your letter, when you said that i should become a Doctor, whats the meaning of that? im also following your instructions on reading Kapi Dhvaja and also started following the ASA on yahoo. i want to make the best out of this time of crisis.

HpS - Spiritual Doctor! First get cured and then learn how to cure others. On Lord Caitanya's ORDER, become a Guru!

thank you for your time Maharaja! be Well"

HpS - Let us preach in Hell (or heaven [as KRSNA desires]):>> Thank You. Save Panama.
