Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Having access to this blog is a huge mercy!! Obeisances unto you and Prahlada Nrisimha Prabhu!!

As you say, living next to nature connected to the world is the perfect scenario in the material world. This Pandemia, was Karuna for us, gave us the time to do work we wanted to do since long ago in the Ayurvedic field.

16 R, 4 P ok. Sometimes very good sadhana, sometimes good and sometimes survival mood. We have to improve deity worship and kirtan. Tendency is going towards sastra, but that makes us very analytical and hard-hearted.

HpS - ASA ---- Srila Prabhupada says that one cannot understand SB unless he worships the Deity, NOD!

We can say we have peace of mind, little anxieties here and there, but nothing serious. We can realize they are only because of material desires, mind wandering everywhere besides Krishna rupa. What SP explains in his purport to BG 4.10, the three stages of material consciousness.

HpS = Raga, bhaya, krodha!

We can not get to nista-ruci. What is the best way to reach to that stage of Bhakti yoga? We have kind of this riven cloud feeling (BG 6.38).

HpS - Wars are not won by good looking, well dressed, healthy soldiers. Wars are won by wounded, stupid soldiers, who don't give up. They just keep on coming back, following orders the best they can! NOI 3

Services: spiritual practice, take care of wife and two children, being a good neighbour at Sri Govardhan, Gurukula project (next letter), member of Junta Nacional iskcon Argentina, member of the organizing committee for Mar del Plata Ratha Yatra (Jan 2021).

HpS - You have earned an immortal banana tree in Nabadvipa?? ! How's THE DOG?????

Thank you so much Gurudev,

Never found a better technology than this Krisna Consciousness process,

Your humble servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada,

Tener acceso a este blog es una gran misericordia !! ¡Reverencias a usted y a Prahlada Nrismiha Prabhu!

Como usted dice, vivir al lado de la naturaleza conectada con el mundo es el escenario perfecto en el mundo material. Esta Pandemia, fue Karuna para nosotros, nos dio el tiempo para hacer el trabajo que queríamos hacer desde hace mucho tiempo en el campo ayurvédico.

16 R, 4 P ok. A veces muy buen sadhana, a veces bueno y otras veces en modo de supervivencia. Tenemos que mejorar la adoracion a la deidad y el kirtan. La tendencia se dirige hacia Sastra, pero eso nos hace muy analíticos y duros de corazón.

Puedo decir que tengo tranquilidad, pocas ansiedades aquí y allá, pero nada serio. Puedo darme cuenta de que son solo por deseos materiales, la mente vagando por todas partes excepto en Krishna rupa. Lo que SP explica en su significado para BG 4.10, las tres etapas de la conciencia material.

No podemos llegar a nista-ruci. ¿Cuál es la mejor manera de llegar a esa etapa del Bhakti Yoga? Tenemos este tipo de sensación de nube dispersa (BG 6.38).

Servicios: práctica espiritual, cuidar a la esposa y dos hijos, ser un buen vecino en Sri Govardhan, proyecto Gurukula (próxima carta), miembro de la Junta Nacional iskcon Argentina, miembro del comité organizador de Mar del Plata Ratha Yatra (enero de 2021) .

Muchas gracias Gurudev,

Nunca encontré una tecnología mejor que este proceso de Conciencia de Krisna,

Su humilde sirviente,

Nikunja Bihari das.

AGTSP! Paoho.

Ooof! We have stomach ache.

We are trying to live properly but so many challenges. Just like you all, no? Yes, 4-principles grossly. Subtlely we are not satisfied with our quantity, type and time of eating!

16-nice rounds! Yes.... struggle!

We have been trying to answer the Annual Reports. Thirs class answering from Third Class Guru, AGTSP! but for some of them the robot doesn't let us answer, or it answers without our comments. Achh. We will talk to Prahlada and see if he can help.

Thank you.

Mataji's Report in the Blog will not Answer!

Seems that maybe if the Protector of Ladies has the same e-mail address the Robot rejects it.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

2019 was a year to take decisions about my life. I decided to do a service in the pujari for Radha Madhana Vihari and to participate in Mangala Aratik program, once a week. At home, I was trying to participate in the FMP program. All this things helped me to increase my faith, determination, trust and love to Radha Krishna. I always talk with Krishna about my troubles and doubts. I know that He listen to me because I always find an answer. I'm trying to develop the desire to wish that the will of the Lord be done. This helped me a lot to have detachment from the result.

I continue doing therapies with ghee lighters and yoga mantras. This is helping people who need it a lot. And it is a good stimulus to inquire about God. Therefore, I'm considering your recommendations: sadhana (in Brahma Muhurta), 16 good rounds and lecture of the Sastras.

Dear Gurudeva, I finish this year with the security and tranquility of have found my way. When you return to Peru, I would like to talk you more about this realization.

Thanks a lot for accepting me as your disciple and please, forgive all my offenses.

Your most fallen servant,

Tarangaksi Devi Dasi

HpS - Super!!!! Thank you so much.... You can see that we are a Second or Third class Guru. Take us so long to do this service of answering letters. Fortunately Srila Prabhupada is taking personal interest in your spiritual development. We are all O.k.

Didn't get back to Lima!!! Maybe we can discuss some of your realizations in this Blog with the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code from the Kapi Dhvaja!!!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept our obeisances dear Gurudeva, the plan for this 2020 is to improve my rounds and principles and of course I have a lot to focus my mind on serving Srila Prabhupada.

We would like to know the scheduled date of your next visit to Monterrey to organize and make proposals.

HpS - Jaya!! half the year gone! How has your plan developed??? We will make a virtual visit to Mexico May 31 - June 3!!!

The projects that we are developing mainly are:

Finca in Montemorelos (about 40 minutes from Monterrey) and we want to inaugurate this project with your presence and make a spiritual retreat for devotees.

We also have the Preaching Center in the city of Monterrey that is connected to the Restaurant and Hostel. We start with talks about the Bhagavad-Gita on Wednesdays, we would like you to help us develop a Krishna consciousness education mission. In his Vyasa-puja we opened the Preaching Center, my wife, our children and I sang Sri Guruvandana and offered fruit and water with tulasi leaves.

We are very inspired to accept our invitation, we hope to be in contact to organize events at the University of Monterrey, I will contact you and mother Asta sakhi to see details for this 2020

I appreciate your time and response Gurudeva

HpS - Trying to answer all these letters!!! Please send current news! Thank you. Best Vyasa-puja offering is 16-enthusiastic rounds and 4-principles strictly!!!! Best wishes for your divine family!

Hare Krishna Maharaj 

Pamho. 

How are you managing in these circumstances. Sorry I haven't communicated much. Read Prahalad prayers which is just fantastic. 

Pray for Lord Mercy on all of us

Respects, Hari Bol, Rknd

Hare Krsna, Prabhu et al,

We are struggling to be pure devotees! We have been in Murfreesboro for weeks now.

For the benefit of our reading audience, RKnd Das is a former astronaut or some such service for Nasa. He was invited to be the first man on the moon I think but decided to go to the Houston Temple for the Sunday Feast instead.

He is an avid SB reader and our long time associate from Houston. Mataji is an equally avid scholar.

Prabhu, we do very little communication outside of this Blog, because we are too stupid to function without 9-other people looking at us. Join here. Post news on your research into the service of Bhagavan.

We also send our daily news from here and fortnightly from the web page... www.JayaRama.US.

PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE

Join us here and send your research results!! Respects to your esteemed family.

hare krishna Maharaj pamho agtsp.

Maharaj I am happy to receive your letter thank you so much.

well thank you Maharaj what can i say.. agtsp!

yeah its been few years already like people says time flys.

here the two certificates of the courses that i did at the manor back in 2015.. !

the fact its i am happy i guess due to the mercy of the holy names. i practically haven't stop chanting all this years, more exactly like since i was 15 years old back in Colombia, when i received the mercy some books, now i am 29 years old, so yes i may know many things about this krishna movement, but still stuck in the basics. lets be positive, still chanting.

what happens i believe in krishna´s plan, and i appreciate how things slowly slowly get on place. right now i think i have to keep chanting an praying for things to improve, but the reality its, i don't feel like taking initiation i am not surrender. like Prabhupad explains guru its not a fashion. I think i need more more more time, i don't want to make a mess, maybe even next life. still i keep myself near to the holy names.

HpS - Everyone is different. Srila Prabhupada took initiation like 11-years after he met Srila Bh. Siddhanta, no? Srimad Bhagavatam's goal is reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all. Is that O.K.?

The situación, it's still difficult here in barcelona. still locked at home, you can go out to do some sport in a stipulate hours.

finally just want to say thank you one more time for the inspiration and example.

waiting for your thoughts and advice with great hope and emotion.

now we are dispose to chant a round hare krishna hare krisna...! !!!

HpS - Rupa Goswami, Srila Prabhupada, suggest: Think about it very clearly and then set a number of rounds to chant, a sacrifice of your mind and intelligence, each day for a certain time. Eg. I will chant 4-rounds at least until Ekadasi... Then DO IT... don't let your mind defeat your intelligence, and then evaluate the results:

1. Was a waste of time. I shall follow Tom Cruise.
2. Was O.K. but really I should do 3-rounds until the next Ekadadi.
3. I can do 7.....
