Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

So much to tell you, so it goes a series of short letters.

Thank you, thank you so much for remembering us. Receiving the DTC and reading it, was heart touching, utsaha booster. You showed me a different kind of love. Iskcon is so great!!

We are attending Mangala Aratik between 3 to 4 days a week, when we do it, the difference is so remarkable, it only make us think how to improve this situation.

HpS - Step, by step, by step, by breath, by breath, going forward.

4 principles ok, 16 rounds ok, but some days we could not finish them and we have to send them to our debt account. We are still struggling to accomodate this situation. Although we work 3/4 days a week, some of them are so intense that is very difficult to accomplish a proper sadhana. We know nothing is possible without 16 good rounds. Meditating daily how to fix this situation.

Family goes great, that is our main preaching program now. Establish marriage and take care of children. Everybody is advancing!!

We followed your Peru/chile tour online. I am grateful to our godbrothers for streaming your lectures. We see your good self like an "Iskcon Sarva Loka". Your preaching programs are great!! What happened with Sancho Panza and Vedavyasa?

HpS - ASA --- No body take them up yet!

Thank you Gurudeva,

You are a very very bright light house to us in this big Iskcon ocean,

Always at your lotus feet,

Your silly student,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Hare Krsna. We are struggling like everyone. Everyone is great devotee if they are struggling: Hare Krsna! Hare Krsna! Get intelligence and then do the most important things first!!!

ALL GLORIES TO AC PRABHUPADA AND SRI GURUJI MAHARAJA.

please accept my humble obeisances.

I don't feel this a urgent conditioned of an emergency, you have a army of people to instruct and I have minor issues.

Questions I didn't answer in prior letter.

Who do you meet in your daily life?

My co workers are vary considerate and make sure I'm well taken care of.i look at them as devotees who aren't following the regs.its a good environment,it wasn't always this good, I'm either in complete Maya or krsna maintains me well.

Where do you domicite.

I live in the city in a vary good place near Puget sound so I get good views,air, affordable housing,etc.

You're question,looks like your ready for devotional life?

Since I've decided that I need you as a guru everything has become better,my interactions with people and spiritual life,my rounds,my preaching etc.i've feel it's because I'm getting closer to the source.i only see this getting better.

Of the test will come and pray that I'll survive

Let's see if I can post.

HpS - Hare Krsna. After months of travel, as explained the Kapi Dhvaja, we finally are catching up on mail. You got another letter. We look at it also. Please write again!

Pamhr TlgaSP

Dandavats querido Gurudev,nuestro viaje a la ciudad de Buenos Aires y participacion de la obra de teatro con Bhaktimarga Swami fue un exito mas de 5000 personas participaron del Ratha Yatra, la asociación con los devotos fue maravillosa encontrarse con amigos y hacer nuevos amigos fue muy grata, la conciencia de Krishna es la mejor manera de vivir en este mundo y todo gracias a ud. Por enseñarnos a practicarla con nuestro talento y esfuerzo.

10 horas de ensayo por 5 dias para dar vida al pasatiempo del SB de Citrakethu, ademas de hacer la obra en el escenario del Ratha Yatra hicimos otra funcion en el templo para devotos q querian volver a ver la obra. Deseo mandarle fotos y musica pero por el momento no puedo por el blog.

Despues de 10 dias en Argentina hemos vuelto a Peru para ocuparnos en el sankirtan maraton para Srila Prabhupada y su Vyasapuja. Una pregunta Gurudev existe ASA Peru? Y quien esta a cargo porque tenemos devotos q hacen reuniones con el titulo ASA Peru! Yo entiendo NIOS el cual yo participo y ayudo en la organizacion del Arte y lo Sagrado etc. pero ASA quienes son?

ASA - Anjana Suta Academy, www.jayarama.us es nuestro aspecto esoterico, monito y puerquito. no hay rama en peru oficial. pirates. \\'o'//

NIOS - www.nionimbus.org es nuestra aspecto exoterico, publico. abhirama thakura das ha sido como co-ordinador de eventos super y estamos esperando proposito formal de el como puede ser agente fijado para NIOS Peru.

Claro, podemos ser en contact individual con todo el mundo, especialmente aqui!

Muchas gracias por su asociacion Gurudev saludos y dandavats de Radharani, Hare Krishna.

ASA - Gracias su reportaje e servicio!!!!!

Todas las glorias para SP nuestro Acarya fundador.

Permiteme presentarte mis reverencias a tus pies Gurudeva.

Te saludo desde Madrid soy the devout mormon!!!!!.😉

HpS - TlgaSP. Muy bien oir de Vd.

Aún medito en tus enseñanzas y el impacto espiritual que causó tu visita a Madrid. Para mí ha sido una prueba de gran misericordia de Krishna.

Gracias por escucharnos y permitir aprender de ti.

Seguimos trabajando en nuestra vida espiritual y haciendo servicio espiritual.

El estudio de las escrituras se vuelve una prioridad en mi vida.

Estoy ayudando al presidente del templo en los medios informáticos de difusión ( tus entrevistas las ha visto mucha gente).

Tengo que contarte que viajo solo a Vrindavan el 3 de diciembre ; se que será una experiencia espiritual maravillosa. Te ruego me des tu consejo.

Este último año ha sido maravilloso, me conmueve sentir que el Supremo es misericordioso conmigo y que me ama . Seguramente mucho más de lo que yo le amo.

Espero contarte pronto mis experiencias en este viaje de dos semanas.

Espero pronto recibir de ti misericordia y que accedas a darme iniciación.

Esperare obedientemente tu decisión.

Tu sirviente agradecido.

Bhakta Gino.

HpS - Ya en Vrndavana para dos semanas. Frio, no? Espero que encuentra unos buenos guias para apreciar sri vrndavana dhama. si, krsna y radha y .... personalmente va a guiar vd. esperamos su reportaje!!

Hare Krsna dear Hanumat Presaka Swami, please accept my humble obeisances, jay Srila Prabhupada!

I am very happy you are coming to Spain and we can have your inspiring association, many thanks!

Please forgive me I didn’t answer your last letter... :

“Are you going to get formally initiated. It is like the 'boda'. It is a formality but not a meaningless formality.”

Reading carefully Jayarama Guru-tattva page, I am not ready now to follow strictly the commitment: I am not able yet to chant 16 rounds everyday, I am ashamed to say this. Sometimes 8 rounds, none, 2, suddenly 16, 4, amazing, boring, ecstasy, anxiety, like this.

These last months have been a great challenge in many senses. Many tests. Lot of learning. What I got from all this... I want to start taking this process seriously! No more excuses. I have too much to thank, and to love and to serve, also to surrender, to Krishna, Prabhupada, You, Jara Mara Hari das, Life. At least, I owe all you this serious chanting... And I want to get closer to spiritual world...

So from now, everyday, minimum: chanting 4 rounds, reading 4 Bhagavad Gita verses and meaning. Increasing gradually until I reach 16 rounds everyday and I get the taste for reading Prabhupada’s books. Hopefully next year I’ll be prepared to ask You for formal initiation. 

Jara Mara Hari das is helping and encouraging a lot.

Also, trying to find balance in general, learning about Dharma, about Grihastha Ashram, about Service in this life.

I’ll keep reporting the process, thank you very much for the opportunity.

Your aspirant servant, 

Bhaktin Marta

HpS - AGTSP. This letter was before we started traveling. Could not answer anything. O.K. Have you been chanting 4-rounds/day, reading? Yes/No .... Accept the reality and go ahead. The Witch will not win this fight!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj. Please accept our humble obeisances at Your Lotus feet!

HpS - Are, Bhagavan. We are still trying to have clean feet. AGTSP!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Thank you so much for the reply. We do not have a direct flight from Imphal to Mumbai as yet. We have to take a connecting flight from Guwahati or Kolkata. It is so nice to learn that Prof Samaresh is adding another feather to his much decorated cap!

Which centre is better for online Bhakti Sastri course Guru Maharaj? Last month we gave our name for the online Bhakti Sastri at Mayapur Institute and we are still waiting for the response. We wish we could do the residential one but we have difficulty getting leave of absence for 4 months from work.

HpS - Honestly I do not know much about any on line courses. I don't know about the Mayapura program. If you investigate let us know your results here!!! Very important is to get a Study Partner(s) and do it in association. What about Chowpatti, Govardhana Eco-village???

We are working hard to develop it through our ASA.

We are looking forward for the exchanges between Lima and Imphal. When would be the best time to visit Lima?

HpS - Let us discuss that A LOT while we are in Manipur. We can even get devotees on line from Lima.

Thank you so much for your letter. We hope Krsna sends you many spriritual neighbors. Look at letter to The Yamunesvara Das, no?

Wating for your next letters.

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP. Paoho....
