Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

I am so sorry I am not joining FMP as I did before, things are pretty chaotic in my life. I do not sleep much. It is very hard and sad for just 3 ladies a dog and 2 cats :( dealing with a mother who is dying, working for living, etc.

HpS - Sharing a house with others?

My mom is barely moving, I even do not understand what she is saying, she told me yesterday that her condition is a torture, yesterday she cried, that broke my heart. I know that we are not these bodies, I am always praying to Krsna that He ends up with her suffering soon, pretty soon.

HpS - I would suggest that she is very directly under Krsna's attention. Of course, we want our independence so how much can He do. Death is the sum total of all bad experiences. Relief from distress is creation of distress. Accept what is happening and help her use it. Toward liberation.

As I told U through whatssapp, it seems that I need a surgery on my right knee, I have lots of fear for that, I am looking for a second opinion. But I have to wait until next wednesday. Besides the surgery is not cheap. mmm. I know that others suffer in different ways, but this time astrologically is the worst for me.

ASA - Donkey maintenance! We had to have complete physical giving blood etc. yesterday.

My mom is not in the condition to pray, how can I get the enthusiasm to pray? How can I feel calm and not nervous or sad most of the time?

HpS - She can hear. What will she hear? Nice stories from the KRSNA book! Read them and extract them.

Tomorrow I will try to join FMP, I hope to have the opportunity to take your association this time you came to Payroo.

On the other hand, I am giving a new course at the University:

Environmental Education, in which I have the opportunity to preach about vegetarianism, one group of my students went to a veggie restaurant and took some pictures, others are recycling, I feel very good teaching that course.

Sorry Gurudeva I am not a good example.

HpS - You are not perfect, but you are really pretty good! Become perfect. Unless you become perfect how will the other two ladys, dog and cats and ... students and relatives and church and whoever Krsna sends on the bus... become perfect.

I found an old photo of my family the four of us. That made me wonder

Yesterday one friend told me that the best way to honor my parents is to always move on. Nevertheless these days I do not know how.

Hope to see U tomorrow

Your servant

Candramukhi dd

HpS - Thank you!!!!

Querido Maharaja:

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Mi nombre es Marco Torres, vivo en la ciudad de México. 

Tuve la oportunidad de tomar su asociación en Enero de este año en la celebración de Su Vyasa_puja, también tuve el servicio de conducir su transporte cuando Usted llegó a México, muchas gracias por permitirme servirle.

HpS - Gracias a Vd y sus caballos!

Madre Asta Sakhi nos presentó con Usted. A inicio de año le escribí y parece que se extravió la carta talvez o no la supe enviar .

Conozco conciencia de Krishna desde hace 5 años y desde entonces canto 16 rondas y sigo los 4 principios regulativos . Tengo mi altar en casa con Deidades de Goura Nitay y los atiendo diariamente antes de irme al trabajo . Asisto regularmente al templo y tengo 3 días de servicios fijos en la cocina de las Deidades y en el Pujari .

Maharaja lo conoci hace 2 años y desde entonces me causó una gran inspiración , su personalidad, su fuerza , su erudición su entrega y supe que UD podría guiarme en el camino espiritual, con toda humildad y con todo mi respeto me dirijo a usted para implorarle refugio en sus instrucciones. las autoridades del templo conocen mi deseo y han mencionado el interés de recomendarme con UD para tomar refugio formal. se que no tengo la cualificación pero apelo a su misericordia para poder servirle y de esa forma conseguir algún avance en el sendero espiritual. Maharaja le pido disculpas si he cometido alguna ofensa a través de esta carta .

Su humilde sirviente Marco  Antonio Galván Torres . 

HpS - ¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! Solo queremos actuar como tu sirviente. ¿Has leído nuestras ideas individuales sobre guru-tattva?

Es un poco viejo pero creo que es lo mismo que el inglés.

¿Alguna pregunta?

Quejas?

Necesitas una carta del Templo y tienes que pasar el Curso de Discípulos. Eso es bueno. Necesitamos llegar a conocernos.

¿Cuál es tu familia, padre, madre, hermanos?

¿Cómo te mantienes?

¡Amigos!

T.L.G.A.S.P.

Nama om vishnu-padaya krishna-preshthaya bhu-tale srimate Hanumatpresaka-svamin iti namine.

Querido Gurudeva:

Los horarios que estoy en el pujari es de 10 a.m. a 2 pm. todos los dias de lunes a domingo, fines de semana ayudo por la mañana y por la tarde tambien en el pujari, y me es imposible participar en el Full Morning Program. ya que el wi-fi del templo no llega hasta el pujari.

HpS - No! Tiene FMP alla!!

Extraño mucho la asociacion con usted querido Gurudeva y con mis hermanos espirituales, realmente es una gran inspiracion poder contar con los programas en Gotomeeting.

El Prasadan se sirve en dos horarios 9 am desayunos y 2 pm almuerzo, intentare conectarme a la clase del S.B. 2:30 pm., y hare presente sus saludos a Prabhu Venu - dhara dasa.

Atte. Su humilde y eterno sirviente a sus pies de loto, Jiyada Nrsmha Dasa.

HpS - Jaya! Nos vemos en Septiembre. Va con nosotros a India? 😁

Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaja!

PAMHO

AGTSP!

How are you dear GM!? I am in México since april 25 and I will come back to Chile at june 4.

Gurudeva: I am writing to you just because I want to let you know that on weekend I met Sajjan Swami and when I told him that I am aspirant to Hanumatpresaka Swami he said "heyyy !! He is my godbrother ..." and told me that He was with You sharing association in Chile 3 years ago approximately... later Maharaja said "you are very fortunate to be refugee on Hanumatpresaka Swami, -(absolutely true)-  He is pretty much better than me in every sense and He is more elevated ... " He also said "please tell Him that I send my obeisances unto Him"

I have participated in some of his programs here on Isla Mujeres and yesterday I gave him a copy of Solaris and I told Him about Your sankirtan all over the world, FMP and your online programs, also about "Art and the Sacred" and this year project "Education and the Sacred"... he was very impressed and joy! At the end of this month I will send to You a picture to Monkey Warrior blog showing maharaja reading Solaris into a full report about my adventures travelling through Caribbean and Riviera Maya!

Hoping to serve you just one more time... thank you very much for your mercy, infinite thanks... your association keeps me alive...

Your aspirant disciple and servant,

Carlos Rold

HpS - AGTSP It is nice to see you daily in FMP!!! It was nice to hear Maharaja in the class this morning. Of course, there are some institutional differences between us because Maharaja took shelter of Narayana Maharaja as a Sannyasa guru, but in the light of Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON we can move forward as a big band enlightening the world.

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to you

Please accept my obeisances

Long time ago I do not write on the blog and I beg your pardon.

HpS-ASA - AGTSP! It is small fault compared to our many! So good to see you.

Although I read daily your instructions and I can find similar situations to what I am living, so, I take your instructions as if they were for me.

My personal report:

For your mercy without cause we maintain ourselves chanting 16 rounds, following 4 principles, regular morning Sadhana, daily lecture of srila prabhupada’s books and we regularly listen to classes online. We maintain our service on the temple. Raja bhoga on Wednesdays and garlands on Saturday.

I’m trying to support Prabhu Arya-Srestha Das, according to my possibilities. Even there still are things that hurts me, but I’ve left it aside and above that I see him as a great devotee that has gone through adverse situations; so I’m trying to be a support and not a burden. Our deals are cordial and he is striving to correct his mistakes, we share Rajas Bhoga service on Wednesdays… after all… we will always be united by the service to you and Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - ASA - As you describe the situation, we would say that any gentleman is very fortunate to have the association of a lady like you. Thank you. Our respects to, Prabuji also.

My sakirtana report “Crecer Vaisnava” :

For your mercy without cause I have worked in this service for almost 6 years. Our intention is to bring support tools for parents and instructors vaisnavas. We have a facebook page, we have 3000 followers and the last statistic we have a range of 12.2 thousands of visits in one month.

 https://es-la.facebook.com/crecervaisnava/

https://issuu.com/crecer_vaisnava

-His holiness Guru Prasad Swami, has given us his authorization as GBC of our zone and he likes our service.

-We share articles for Grihastras, Parents, and Instructors. Quotes from Srila Prabhupada, material for kids, videos, songs, work books, children’s book, etc…

For your mercy without cause, this year various vainavas have joined to our team and we are realizing new material, they are really anxious in collaborating and it inspires me to continue.

Like maybe you remember, Crecer Vaisnava, translated the book of Homeschooling some time ago. So since that time I am in touch with Prabhu Abhirama about it, we are coordinating each other and he things that it would be possible to publish it in Mid-year. 

-In addition we have organized some conferences online with Mataji Aruddha about the Homeschooling topic, in different Yatras. (Chile, Mexico City, Cueramaro and Tulancingo) many parents have been attracted to the topic, and we have done links with some devotees that realizes home Education, since we are Crecer Vaisnava we are tracking them.

-Following the conferences we have achived a group of studies of the Homeschooling of Mataji Aruddha. Actually there are 15 devotees on the group. The parents are really enthusiastic and committed. We are learning a lot.

-We published a bimestrial magazine ”Educando para el hogar Crecer Vaisnava”. On it we share articles about devotees like Mataji Urmila, Mataji Aruddha and also we interviwed to senior devotees from different Yatras… Parents are eager to learn about the experiences of others and it looks like a good tool.

This is a little proof of what we have done during this time, we would like very much to be useful for your Sankirtan, we ask you to instruct us in how we can please you. We would like to know, ¿How can we subordinate to the Anjana Suta Academy?

HpS - I don't think there is any need to be formally a "Branch" of ASA. This communication is wonderful format for being part of the Occult ASA. You have your formal authority from the local Temple etc. O.K.?

Thanks Gurudeva, because you are the one who pushes us to try to be useful on the transcendental Sankirtana of Srila Prabhupada.

Please forgive me for the long letter. We reiterate our obeisances and eternal thanks.

Your aspirant to servant

Karuna-Sakti DD

HpS - Is not too long. Is very wonderful thing you are doing. We hope it goes to Spain, Peru, Argentina etc!!!! Send us news from time to time.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru maharaj! PAOHO ....at Your Lotus feet!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

We three of us ...two young students included.....were at Puri just the day before it was hit by the cyclone...! We had Shree Jagannath, Baladeva and Mother Subhadra's darshan and got accomodation at Shree Caitanya Gauriya Math, the birthplace of Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Swami Maharaj . We got wonderful darshan.....great prasadam and got time to relax under the kalpa vrksha ! HH Paramanidhi Maharaj took great care of us and told us to come to Puri every year. His Holiness arranged an autorikshaw for us so that we could visit the holy places of Mahaprabhu's pastimes...Gambhira, Sarvabhauma's ashram, Siddha Bakul, Samadhi mandir of Jagannath Babaji, Gundicha Mandir,Tota Gopinath....

We were cursed by a pujari too....while taking darshan, he grabbed my hand...and started saying some mantras...asked gotra....swami's name etc. Told the pujari that am a Bhramacharini....and offered him 500rupees. He was demanding more money....and as I moved on, he shouted... You won't get married and have children!! Sudip , our student being a Bengali, understood the language and felt very unhappy. Later, when Sudip told me about the pujari's curse, I was indeed very happy!!!

Then we reached Nabadwip , stayed at Gopal Dev mandir . Had darshan of Radha Madhava at Mayapur. We visited Kalna and had darshan of Gaura Gadadhara.

Everything went fine Guru Maharaj. Thank you so much. Cyclone came after we left Puri. The Kolkata airport opened on the day we were to fly back to Imphal.

HH Haridasa Maharaj will be at Mayapur today for a meeting.

We are working on the printing of NOI in local language. We have a staff who has a printing machine and we have asked him the total cost of printing 2000copies. How do we make the cover attractive Maharaj? Which pictures should we put? We would like to get it done in a couple of months' time,if not earlier.

We are concerned about Guru Maharaj's health. We pray that Guru Maharaj recovers fast .

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Reverend Brahmacarini, Paoho. Wonderful news. Maybe your will be a personal friend of Visnu-priya in your next life if you continue like this!

Send some cover suggestions to this Blog. Of course coordinate with the BBT!!

Such a nice trip. You can see we have not been traveling. We are resting in Murfreesboro and then take off again June 5th. Yesteday, the hay fever, allergy was INCREDIBLE, like putting salt into an open cut. Then today. . . nothing. We have so much work that we just chant Hare Krsna and let Krsna decide what we will do.

Hope the Kapi Dhvaja helps!!!
