Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaj , PAMHO, AGTSP.

hope your "letter answering" marathon is going great, monkey and piggy must be helping you even though they are tired.

ASA -- Whoop! Whoop! Oink! Oink! agtstp..... paho...

trying to get local help, but somehow not fruitful as expected, still we are continuing.

we take your instruction very seriously [i] if we can solve our problem in particular circumstances then 10000 people will follow us.. na dhanam na sundri,, may be we want janam... anyways we hold our position with this perspective..

[ii] if you can get big position at university, that will help a lot..

we wanted to ask more elaboration on " be part of village" in

[Try to get your marriage part of a village]

what should be priorities of criteria of village selection

HpS - I don't think priorities, rather understanding the postion of the people in the village. eg. S(he)it is a vikarmi. Recomends more Ballywood and Bombay Pilsner to improve family relations. NOI 10... Then associate with them. Horses are social animals, no.

[i] local dialect\culture [ii] religious culture [iii] professional growth..

HpS - Of course, death. Unless we wake up the soul, what is the use of any of this? If they do wake up the soul then they are useful, dialect, job, religious practices!

salute,

monnkey

HpS - What is name of your new school??? Who are your associates there??

Respected Guru Maharaja,

Hare Krishna. Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for the text message this morning. Sugopi, Sundari-radhika and I are missing your regular association and fortunate are those in the distant lands/time zones that have your association. Yet we are trying to lick the lotus feet of Krishna's literary incarnation in the morning but it's not the same as hearing your voice filled with devotion, faith, simplicity and clarity. It is very refreshing to hear you on Saturdays but the rest of the week is dull.

I some times get frustrated that I am so sinful and unfortunate to take birth in this age of Kali which robs whatever little bit of mode of goodness that exists around. So many sinful and un-sastric things are accepted as normal in this age of Kali!

Yet as it is said in https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/18/7/ Maharaja Pariksit was not envious of Kali and Srila Prabhupada points out many benefits and emphasizes chanting of the holy names and recitation of Srimad Bhagavatam. Bhagavatam recitation is not the same without your presence. My jnana is in place but dhyana is extremely poor. Even when chanting my mind races towards analyzing things, sometimes material and sometimes spiritual. I am struggling to stay focused while eating the sugar candy and the jaundice is not disappearing. I wonder how long it takes before the all attractive makes His name attractive to a fallen soul like me?

I wonder when my heart becomes a suitable place for His residence? Please give me mercy so that I will relish the holy names and Srimad Bhagavatam as the most valuable treasures of my life.

I look at this blog regularly and read the news letter. I try to catch up with the pearls on the twitter and they are great! Couple of weeks ago your tweet inspired me to read the incident of Gopinatha Pattanayaka. It was bewildering but also humbling to see how Maha Prabhu saved him due to his relationship with his exalted brothers - Vaninatha and Ramananda.

I don't see the latest news letter yet so I am using the last known code in the title. Thank you very much for your time in reading this letter.

Your insignificant servant

Srinivasacarya dasa

HpS - Letter just went out. We are struggling in the middle of the mess just like everybody else. Just as you have administrative problems in you local Yatra, there are problems just as difficult at the GBC level. Oooof. Only solution is to join Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan.

What are you studying in your daily classes?

Here is has been instructions of Bhismadeva. Is good audience. Intelligent, about 25-devotees each morning. The window on the spiritual world is there and we can enter it and get realization of the situation. When was the first time Bhisma met Krsna? How old was he when he renounced marriage? We began to get some realization of Bhisma's personal understanding of Krsna at the moment of His death.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you and all your service.

I hope that your health is better.

HpS - AGTSP paoho. This letter is very old. We met with Lalita in the temple since you wrote this. It has been very inspiring to see you both here. Thank you!! Actually our health is worse, as expected. We are expecting to die, but is O.K. to do Sankirtan.

Please accept my respectful obeisances dear Guru Maharaja, first of all I apologize for the lack of report and communication with you by this means, although we are always connected in service, mind and heart.

I tell him that we are with Lalita in the restaurant, managing and cooking together. It has been an arduous job, thanks to the Lord we achieved a definitive patent where all legal, were months of hard service, a lot of delivery, painting, making arrangements, resting little, we believe that thanks to the mercy of Lord Krishna everything flowed as I need.

HpS - Yes, I see the result. I think that you two and your service are in the top 15% of ISKCON devotees. You must have had a wonderful father!!

Lalita Madhava has been a fundamental support and has been able to give the right word at all times, an excellent devotee, it inspires me a lot, a blessing to be by her {his} side.

On the other hand, it has been more than a year since my father left the body, we cannot deny how much he is missed, I ask you for advice,: How bad is it for my spiritual life, to stick to my father's memory and my mother's pain? my mother and siblings are in the field, the ones visited often, they like prasadam very much, she lights maha incenses and until she learned to cook vegetarian bakery, it is very favorable.

HpS - It is natural to feel separation from you family. If you papa got a job in China in 1925 and you all said good bye to him at the wharf, boat, you would naturally feel separation. But there would be letters, telegrams, and for sure meet again. Help your family to the eternal world.

We are eager to have your association, we really need Guru Maharaja, Krishna through see you in November here in Iskcon Santiago de Chile.

HpS - Hope to see in 52-minutes.

At your Service, Manjulali Devi Dasi.

ASA - One client for the restaurant below.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP

Its tough for us it seems. May be very very insincere, continuing from the last life. May be we are fanatic/crazy/impractical. Our experiments are not giving fruitful results. May be we are too ambitious or fickle.

HpS - Maybe. Should be some result from trying things. Drink enough water and you see the result.

We had deadly fight with spouse again, she left for atleast 7 days outside home, not known to us. Frankly speaking we are feeling less agitated, drained out emotionally. But household chores, kid studies and job taking toll on us. We are able to hear more, because now we dont need to compromise for any one.

HpS - Your fault, her fault, kids fault, Kali's fault??? How to adjust for everyone's satisfaction. In our meetings she seems like a nice person. Of course, that may not be enough, even two nice people, in Kali yuga for perfect marriage.

Without good association to look at the details of the relationship it is impossible to judge whether the wife or husband is the bigger devil. Try to get your marriage part of a village.

Trying to find out local help (online/offline)...

HpS . Yes!!!

hare krsna maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP

Finding it tough to get proper place in ISKCON. what is ISKCON, which ISKCON we sill stay near,,we dont know...hanging out in the middle, to see if we can above monkey business.

HpS - Same for us exactly. So we chant Hare Krsna at Srila Prabhupada´s feet and then he enligtens us.

you were busy hence we got excuse to not write to you..

rounds 16 average but great difficulty. but anything less than 16 seems a problem for us, internally. we dont think things externally will improve anyway.. we dont know how they will improve.. just firing bullets, might hurt any one.

not finding example like us to copy is strange... but anyways lets accumulate sukriti what esle can be said.

thank you for being pure.

monkey

HpS - Not finding example for us and not finding similar friends also. Maybe Krsna is a jealous lover. Doesn{t want to share us with anybody.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

PAMHO

I was wondering that since amavasya is coming, in the next KD the KPC may be written not just in the part of Letters to the Editor. It can be put in the Calendar, for example. So that the readers must read the whole KD in order to get the Priority Code.

ASA - Haw! Haw! Haw Ray! The same devious thoughs passed through our demented brains also. Ha! Ha! Hare! Maybe we wait on more issue (Piggy of Compassionate Heart) before we start to hide it in devious ways (Monkey of Cunning Mind)?

Tomorrow is my last class in the Diplomado of Teaching English as a Second Language. It lasted for 4 months. But it was really intense.

HpS - So now you can have more time for Brahminical activities???!!!! Recover your lost soul. Spend more time in the Groves of Vrndavana with your sister with Krsna? What is you Mission? Girl espionage agent for Golokula? Our lives are only booring or frustrating because we are not responding to the invitations from the Gopis and Radha krsna, and the cow herd boys!! Are you going to take Ulysses, Meow, your sister, mother, father, et al back to Goloka?

See you soon

ASA - Very soon!
