Letters to the editor

Querido Gurudeva por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias.

Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las Glorias a Usted.

Gurudeva, estoy muy emocionada esperando su llegada... Durante esta gira, he podido seguir varias de sus clases a través de facebook live, casi puedo sentir que estoy ahí 😊 mi Internet no es bueno pero con el celular puedo verlo en facebook fácilmente. (Agradezco con el alma, a quienes transmiten.)

En una ocasión escuche que alguien le preguntó ¿Cómo puedo ayudar en su Sankirtan? Usted respondió - "Acuda a conferencias, museos, reuniones y busque contactos, ayúdenos a relacionarnos con personas que puedan colaborar con nosotros."

Yo tomé esa instrucción como propia...  

Y, por su misericordia sin causa, he logrado contactar a algunas personas para que asistan al Conversatorio de la educación y lo Sagrado.

(Una de las Phd. invitadas no pudo acudir al encuentro en el aeropuerto, pero está feliz de tener una nueva oportunidad.)

*Por otro lado. logré contactar al Dr. Sven Doehner, psicoanalista Jungiano y arquetipico. Él y su socia de negocios (María Islas; también psicoanalista Jungiana y transpersonal) son personas muy agradables y favorables. 

He estado en contacto telefónico con el Dr. Doehner desde hace algún tiempo, y por gracia de Lord Hari, cuando le comenté sobre su próxima visita, él propuso un encuentro personal, su principal interés es conversar con usted e intercambiar experiencias, pero aceptó con agrado que usted acuda con algunos acompañantes en calidad de escucha (según sus propias palabras). Si usted me lo permite yo podría acompañarles.

HpS - claro que sí y cual quiere otro piensa bueno.

Yo oro para que este contacto sea útil en su prédica y agradezco mucho la oportunidad de intentar servirle. 

Aunque tengo el fuerte deseo de ser útil en su Sankirtan, casi siempre me siento realmente inútil... Así que, por su misericordia sin causa, solo trato de hacer algo de acuerdo a mis escasas capacidades y ya que por mi naturaleza siempre observo áreas de oportunidad, trato de aprovechar tanto servicio como puedo. Pero también me alegra mucho cuando aparece alguien con el deseo de relevarme en el servicio, me parece que algunas veces los soldados cansados o heridos necesitan descansar, para retomar la lucha, así que cuando aparece alguien y se acerca con el deseo de apoyar es muy agradable.

Muchas gracias por ocuparme, gracias por hacer de mi vida algo útil.

Su aspirante a sirviente

HpS - Medía día 11 Deciembre.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please receive my humble obeisances at your feet dear Gurudeva. 

HpS - TlgaSP... ¡

We are happy for your next visit to Mexico. As you know we have had conversations with some God brothers and sisters about the best way to find out our place in the service to Srila Prabhupada through the service to the Guru.

The last few years has been complicated to maintain a good attitude and cooperation while I am seeing situations of excessive abuse of authority.

There is respect, appreciation and gratitude towards senior devotees, however, it is also important that can be balance in the distribution of servics. And also that more responsibilities can be given to the younger devotees as well as trust in them.

HpS - Essential truth.

Please excuse me for giving you these inconveniences. 

HpS - Was it inconvenient for you to help your children when they were sick?

We will follow the instruction that gave Prabhu Jagad Bhandu about maintaining constant communication with you.

Turning to other news, I inform you that the next November 19 will be my graduation ceremony. I'm very happy!  I got outstanding results in the professional exam! I did not expect it. It is your achievement.

HpS - All respects for your austerity. Now that He has trained you, Krsna will certainly put you to work.

Now I am working as a private teacher for a child with Asperger Syndrome. Everything is so new to me. Years ago I would not have thought that I would be helping other children different than my children. I owe it all to you.

Our sadhana is improving. I am chanting 16 rounds, Mukunda is chanting 10 rounds or less and Muni is chanting 6. Vidagdha continues with a lot of services in the temple and He is fixed in the japa. We face many setbacks in family, personal, (devotees) .... But all of them remind us that we should not desist, we must continue in the battle. We just want to do our best for everyone. 

Thanks for everything Gurudeva. 

We hope to see you soon.

Your servant 

Gopi Radha DD

HpS - Thank you. Dealing with authorities is a science. The BG shows us how to deal with confused authority.

All glories to Guruparampara, AC Prabhupada, Sripada Maharaja and HpS Guru Maharaja!

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Brinda Ki Jay!

Dandabat Pranam Guru Maharaja,

HpS - The same from here. AGTSP!!! paoho. We are in Buenos Aires.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that to get one or more letters in a month or so is very encouraging me and renew more and more energy to do spiritual activities. Yes, I can imagine why Guruji Maharaja did not reply my letter because of Guruji's previous series of engagements. That is why, I try to write after getting previous letter's reply.

I can't remember the 9th December, 2019 is Gita Jayanti or not.

HpS - On our calendar it is 7th December.

No one is interested in such educational programs and cultural exchanges. In the mandir management, we are just like a small dust, so we have not other options.

HpS - Do what ever programs you can do yourself! Cook pakoras for BG on that day. Recite Chapter Eleven or more... and invite others! Srila Prabhupada struggle for years with no big result but then when Krsna wanted He sent so many people, no?

My daughter's family members are good enough but less spiritual knowledge. They treat my daughter as their own family members though they are away from home. On the 21st Oct. they came Manipur to participate Ningon Chakouba of Manipuri festival (to eat together with their brothers in their original home) on the 30th Oct. They will leave soon Imphal for Bangaluru.

I am continuing my regular reading to day in the 10.60.30 (Bhagavatam) Translation : ...... whose aspirations are all frustrated by the force of time, which is born from your eyebrows.

HpS - We were reading SB 10.22 today for the start of Katyayani Vrata. About 15 devotees in the class!

Purport : ..... "I chose You as my husband because You possess the above mentioned qualities. I was not a blind choise at all", .... she saw that even though, materially speaking, they are great persosnaligties, they are frustrated by powerful waves of time, which emanate from the eyebrows of Lord Krsna. I can't grasp the ideas mentioned in the bold letters, please explain in simplest way.

HpS - Rukmini!!!! Next life we will be in the palace in Dvaraka?

We are eagerly waiting Gurujis India visit specially Manipur any suitable time.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - We will visit soon!! Now we fly to Santiago, Chile. Big political conflict.

previous letter node 10552

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO,AGTSP,

our letter crashed once, so we are writing again.

around 18 days back, we again misbehaved with wife and kid. our tolerance has decreased a lot. she left us for 12days, we were somehow able to manage kid, job, home, chanting etc . she just came back. things seems normal.

we are not coming back to rituals or standards. we think we are trying dog hard things, or riding on very sharp razor edge. so requires great focus which we don't have.

Damodar lamp offering is going on.

we are just breathing like bellow pipe, we don't think fighting is good . we dont like it but whenever we try to increase standards we just fumble upon.

may be we are too attached to plastic/infallible soldiers.

we have got job invitation from Banaras Hindu University, Management Department. We will be joining it on 21 nov. Salary is lesser than previous job, still things seem to be manageable.

still figuring whats not dog hard for us.

cursed soul trying to find happiness in money business and dark well.

HpS - AGTSP paoho. thank you for the news. sorry can´t answer all the letters faster. your report seems fine. be enthusiastic. you have the personal association of srila prabhupada in his books. just read as you can. fix some practical japa standard for each report and see how you can solve your partcular challenges. if you so it 10,000 people will be behind you following your path.

here we go to santiago.

NitayGoura Premanande!!!

querido y siempre recordado Gurudev,

todas las glorias a "Srila Prabhupada"

                                                           antes que nada disculparme con ud. que todavía pueda ir a recibir su santa asociación, tenia la esperanza que en su visita a Perú podía participar en todos los programas, ..... pero, soy como una madre soltera, enfrentando las necesidades de subsistencia y atendiendo a su hijo enfermo, y, con las complicaciones de su propia salud.... Gracias a la misericordia de Krishna me mantengo calmada y no pierdo la Fé de que todo pasa y es temporal, ..... a pesar de todo siempre estoy contenta, como no habría de estarlo? si los libros de Prabhupada me acompañan a donde voy, Prabhupada es infinitamente misericordioso y cada dia hay un destello de luz cuando me da la oportunidad de que una persona se lleve un libro, ....  en mi corazón puedo percibir que no importa lo que nos pase, siempre debemos agradecer por tener la gran fortuna de que Prabhupada compasivamente nos está ocupando en su servicio!!! aún sin merecerlo, .... estoy orando mucho, para poder verlo querido Gurudev, aunque sea un momento, que en mi corazón será eterno!!!        discúlpe por favor a ésta sirvienta suya tan escaza de inteligencia y perdóneme mis ofensas!!!

                                                                  Radhe, Radhe, Radhe.....

su inútil y torpe sirvienta

m. jambavati d.d.

HpS --- TlgaSP Pfanrh. Era super, super, super hablar con Vd. en San Borjas. Otra vez pienso es mejor arrelegar habitacion para su papa en un institucion donde ellos puede guardar el, pero vd. puede vivir cerca y visitar a el diariamente si es posible. El puede formar amistad con otros en la misma situacion y predicar!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj!

Please accept our humble obeisances at Your lotus feet!

Yesterday we had house programme with HH Haridasa Maharaj . Devotees of ISKCON Manipur and our family celebrated the auspicious month of Kartik, Thank you dear Maharaj.....endless mercy so sweet! You make us cry ..a number of times!

We seek Your blessings dear Guru Maharaj. We are offering Maharaas tomorrow , the last day of Kartik , at the RadhaKrishnachandra Mandir....we are so nervous...we could not sleep since last night...we miss you a lot dear Maharaj. Out of the 10 of us ( Radha Krishna and Astasakis), 4 of us had gone for Nabadwip parikrama with HH Haridasa Maharaj last month.....includes our little Krishna too. She is a 5 year old who has lost her father. Her mother and grandmother were with us at the Parikrama. Anamika is her name. We had been busy practicing the dance as none of us are professional dancers.

Tomorrow we shall offer the NOI copies to Guru Gauranga and Deities. The binding will be over this evening. We shall send the pics of the copies very soon. We are sending some pics taken yesterday at the house programme . And the NOI pics.

Aspiring to be Your servant always....though not qualified...

Sarada Gaurangi DD
