Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev!

Please accept my humblest obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupad!

A quick update- morning program is better again- not top notch but still getting there! Reading before bedtime and during breaks at work.

ASA - Super!

I just came back from Dallas from Kirtan 50 and had some nice association so that helped significantly. That’s been lacking in the DC temple but with mercy, I can keep it up.

HpS - 'daya bak' - That's all that is necessary. Take the mercy and 'keep it up'. All the Sun has to do is to 'keep it up', rise and walk every day. Adds us and then BOOM the magic happens.

 I’ve been focusing on sadhana and work and all else is on the backburner. No relationships, courtships to report. Just keeping faith that whatever Krishna decides is for the best. As always- you are right- we go forward, one way or another. I hope to keep this momentum going. I’m also trying to visit Vraj in March. Hopefully Vrinda devi lets us (mom and sister as well) in.

Lots of slips but always getting back up. Sometimes slowly -but surely.

Thank you for your mercy maharaj.

Your fallen [still attempting to be] servant,

Sugopi dd

HpS - ASA -- You are a fighter Sugopi DD. Just like your father's mother?? You get knocked down but you get back up and go ahead with your chain saw. Got any friends, victims, at work??? Thank you so much for your effort. Respects to Papa, Mama, sisters...

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias Gurudeva, le escribo mi reporte del año 2018 en Monterrey.

Tuvo situaciones personales difíciles pero e aprendido a cuidar mucho las personas que rodean mi familia y mi persona, e sido muy discreta y le pido disculpas por no expresarle que pasaba mal momento emocional en su momento pero no deseo crear problemas o malos entendidos por el bien de mi embarazo y mis hijos, mi sadhana a tenido turbulencias por mi mente pero e luchado por mantener mi entusiasmo.

HpS - Muy bien. Puede expresar cosas aqui en forma general. No necesita hablar de detalles aqui. Eso es 81% de la resolution. 19% in privado.

Estos meses estoy llevando mi sadhana con un ritmo más tranquilo por la energía que llevo con mi embarazo (7 meses), hijos, responsabilidades en el hogar pero humildemente le ofrezco este resumen en un año

Rondas (16) 90% mente regular

4 principios regulados

lectura 60%

adoración altar 90%

ahora mi sankirtan son mis hijos [Es natural]

desearía haber ofrecido mi compromiso con mayor entusiasmo pero lo que tengo para ofrecerle es mi honestidad.

HpS - ASA -- Gracias.

Me encuentro muy feliz de su llegada a CDMX, mi familia y yo viajamos el viernes para tomar su santa asociación, gracias por su tiempo y paciencia Guru Maharaj

tu insignificante sirviente Ananda maya devi dasi

HpS - Es bueno ser Madre de 7-hijos? Ha! Ha! Hare! Es natural ser Mama de todo el mundo por una devota. Espero bien la familia, communidad!!!

Bueno guru maharaj, respondiendo a su carta, le había escrito antes de que usted fuera a perú, pero luego nos encontramos en chile, allí estuvimos con usted en octubre-noviembre, junto a la muy buena asociación de panca tattva, piero (fiero), etc. Muy agradecido de todos esos días, muy agradecido por sus enseñanzas, además la compañía de ss maha visnu swami y harinam ruci, realmente me siento bendecido.

HpS - ASA --- TlgaSP!!! Era la misma para nosotros.

El año 2018 ha sido muy bueno para mi, de mucho crecimiento y

autoconocimiento, muchas balas al soldado, ropa sucia, pero seguimos en la batalla!

El año 2018 estuvimos viviendo en el templo de buenos aires argentina, siguiendo los programas, distribuyendo libros, prasada, harinama sankirtan, etc. Tuvimos la oportunidad de ir a Brasil por 1 mes y predicamos, conocimos muchos templos y distintas maneras de prédica, desde la ecovilla de purusatraya swami hasta las charlas viajeras de chandramukha swami, todo muy bello… estas experiencias son como ver la forma universal de Krisna con sus diferentes encarnaciones y manifestaciones, los devotos de radha y krishna son lo mas hermoso.

Tengo muchos deseos de más aventuras, pero como le comenté en chile, necesito darle importancia a la salud. Hace poco me dieron el diagnóstico de mis dolencias y es pinzamiento femoroacetabular o femoroacetabular impingement (fai), es una lesión a la cadera que provoca dolores en muchas partes, en unos días más comienzo con kinesiología y espero que pueda mejorar y seguir predicando y aportando un grano de arena a la misión de iskcon

muchas gracias por existir

su sirviente mandara sakha das

HpS - Muchas gracias. El cuerpo puede occuparnos 25-horas cada dia si nos permita. Tengo problemas tambien. Trata adjustar como es posible y tomamos refugio de Krsna hacer lo que quiere, entonces relalizamos Sankirtan como podemos. Aparece que conoce esta muy bien. Si tiene que dejar el cuerpo para purificar su alma, lo hace! Mejor burro esperando.

Dear Gurudeva, please if you wish it, I accept [offer] my humble and respectful obeisances. All the glories to Srila Prabhupada. I am in the administrative commission as a 2 alternate vowel and is for all the Argentina [Not clear. You are doing some administrative service!] . And in the play of the Ratha Yatra I was doing several voices that of Citraketu Maharaja, that of the guards and the voice in off that presents history and my son Hair of 10 years made the role of the prince, it was very inspiring for all, from that day Heri began to sing 2 rounds of the Mahamantra daily and everything we owe it to you dear Gurudeva. Prostrate at your feet of lotus Nanda Raja das.

HpS - Very nice to hear from you. HOw many children do you have? Where are you working?

All glories to Srila A.C Baktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

All glories Ss hanumatpresaka Swami

Dear Guru Maharaja please accept my humble and respectful obeisances at your lotus feet, let some of this dust fall on your head your humble servant

HpS - If we get any from Srila Prabhupada we will pass it on!

Several events have happened since my last letter, for the mercy of Krsna at the beginning of the year my wife became pregnant, the pregnancy lasted only two months, the embryo did not develop and a heart never beat, we do not know Krsna's plans, my wife recovered

HpS - Srila Prabhupada wrote to Mahi-Bharata Das in a similar case that some times a Yogi has just a little bit of Karma to finish so Krsna let's him pass 2-months in the womb of a devotee, take Prasadam and then go to Goloka!

We have worked on what followed me in our last letter, adoration at home, a small morning program, offering food, some music and in the afternoon a small offering, my wife helped me a lot so that this can be done and my son he likes to play the cártalos, as well as to open and close the altar of the house, we continue in the temple on Sundays in my service, now I am in the pujarís room keeping the clothes of the deities and sleeping to Prabhupada on Sundays.

We continue in the bhakti sastri in line with mother Candramukhi devi das de Peru, we absent ourselves a little for lack of laskmi but we already resumed the course, we also studied the second initiation course with Prabhu jiva sakti das online every Saturday with the We finished in mid-October, we took a Jaya course with Prabhu Setukara Das as well as the baghavagita study guide.

Talk to mother Asta Sakti devi das about taking second initiation, we already have the temple recommendation letter

This year we are also studying a degree in business administration, online as well

We hope to serve you a little the smallest of all your humble servant Mandali Bhadra Das

HpS - Hare Krsna! We cannot remember you! Awk. We saw you in Mexico??? We have a rough memory of you but no details. Who are you? (Good question, no?)

Pamho, AGT SP!

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva! Hope you are fine in all aspects. So many time not reporting here, i think since you were here in Cordoba, life comes with intension, minds and hearts moves with tempest intensity when forgettin its life porpuse, getting clean making visible the soul chanting.

This has been a harsh nd soft year, still in a long long adaptation to life with a baby, a spouse with baby, very sweet and very sour. Continue developing my work with yoga, meditation, sound therapy, ayurveda,Astrology. Many oportunities sharing the names of Radha Krishna in that enviorment and then is when life gets real sense. Also started studying a degree in Psychology.

This last November I was as from 2012 i think carrying foward the meditation area of the Ratha Yatra of Bs As, but this time it was really enormous, many many people in the RY, much more than normaly, and like 200 inocent people chanting japa on beads for first time :)

Principles are OK, following, rounds are 16 most of the times, but some days could not finish them and not always recovering them, trying to improve Sadhana so life could also get better in every aspect, really belive in this. With some projects/ideas seeking internal strength to accomplish…Doing some programs at home eventualy , mostly festivals and when important personalitys come, yesterday we do a projection of the Hare Krishna movie with pizza, lemonade, popcorn, etc, like 40 devotees come, a big number for cordoba. 

Now we are organizing for your VP a little festival in here, I read you are planning visitin argentina like may, june, hope you can come here this time again.

Thank very very much Gurudeva, for all your efforts,service and presence.

Tring to become a disciple,

Madhavendra Puri Das

HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. SOrry we are little slow T answer. Trip to Houston - Mexico - Houston - Franklin was busy. Thank you for the report. Everything we want to accomplish will be easier automatic if we chant 16-nice rounds a day. I tell you that. I tell me that!!!! Keep track of how many rounds you do not finish and catch up!!
