Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.

Dear Gurudev, i am fully dependent onto you for spiritual progress. Without you, i cannot do anything that i realized well.

HpS - Then, according to the last paragraph in NOI 5:

      "In this verse Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī advises the devotee to be intelligent enough to distinguish between the kaniṣṭha-adhikārī, madhyama-adhikārī and uttama-adhikārī. The devotee should also know his own position and should not try to imitate a devotee situated on a higher platform. Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has given some practical hints to the effect that an uttama-adhikārī Vaiṣṇava can be recognized by his ability to convert many fallen souls to Vaiṣṇavism. One should not become a spiritual master unless he has attained the platform of uttama-adhikārī. A neophyte Vaiṣṇava or a Vaiṣṇava situated on the intermediate platform can also accept disciples, but such disciples must be on the same platform, and it should be understood that they cannot advance very well toward the ultimate goal of life under his insufficient guidance. Therefore a disciple should be careful to accept an uttama-adhikārī as a spiritual master."

You cannot advance very well toward the ultimate goal of life unless you see that we are struggling servants of Srila Prabhupada and you use our association to get his association!     Jaya!

There is no new job offer as of but trying my level best. Of course, for to stay in Pune need a job to manage all, so looking for a job for some time.

Materially things are not good but happy, trust me i don't have any worry, don't know why !!

16x4 is good. Full focus on BG, like how i can be useful to take it to normal audience so thinking & thinking deeply from all expect.

HpS - ASA  -- Wonderful!
 

But ready for to start workshop on BG soon for 16-rounder devotees for first two chapters.

Thinking to pay a visit to chhattisgarh after getting a new job !! what would you advise.

HpS - Awk!???   We don't know.  As always, we advise getting local team of devotees as advisors who know your local situation for local advice.   In general of course, just what you are doing.

We try to keep our ASA Sankirtan news going here.  You can see that we are struggling with our body and relationships to taste Srila Prabhupada's Purports and then organize Sankirtan systems.
Hare Krsna!     Hope to hear more from you on these lines.  Hope our Sankirtan is inspiring yours.

Thank you so much Gurudev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

Hare Krishna Gurudev pamhr, tlgaSP

Muchas gracias gurudev por inspirarnos en el sadhana diariamente y compartir con nosotros el mangal aratik y clases... Radharani y yo estamos contentos de partcipar.

El fin de semana pasado hicimos un programa de domingo en Huancayo donde vinieron estudiantes de psicologia de la Universida Continental algunos devotos nos acompañaron y distribuimos prasadam (sudji [subji], arroz y ensalada) que preparo el prabhu Ekala Nitay das, papa de Radharani. Hablamos del Bhagavad Gita y cantamos Hare Krishna.

Empezaremos a dictar clases de Bhagavad Gita y cantar el maha mantra todos los lunes en casa de Harinan das, en Lima, este es un programa inspirado por Prabhupada para difundir la conciencia de krishna en la casa de los devotos asi como ya se realizan en otras casas.

Maharaja Bhakti Marga Swami nos escribio para participar en el Ratha Yatra de Argentina Bs As a realizarse en Noviembre y presentar la obra ''Many mothers many fathers'' la misma obra que presentamos en India este año, somos afortunados de ofrecer a Krishna nuestro talento y devocion, sus bendiciones querido Gurudev para seguir adelante en el servicio a Srila Prabhupada y Gaura Nitay...!

HpS - Hare Krsna!    Buena suerte.    Transparencia es la base de adelantar en purificarnos de Maya.  Espero que puede tomar muy bien apoyo de nuestra Blog para animar su Sankirtan.

All Gloris to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Prabhupada

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay,

Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

Guruji Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that I got Gurujis reply and downloaded for my personal. I feel happy to think that I am now direct contacted with Guruji and discussing different topics on Spirituality development.

HpS - Again, when we travel we are in contact with SO many devotees and so our internet contact, mail contact gets slow!

Sometimes, I think of Guruji’s health, programmes, lectures, discussions on the meaning of different slokas, methods of pujah etc. How Guruji is performing His daily sadhanas when on the journey. All these are my questions. Guruji reply my questions but I could not hear any Gurujis suggestions or personal experience on a kaniska (adhikaris) bhaktas.

We are naturally dominated by the three gunas of Satya, Raja and Tama of prakrti. Only the blessings of Guruji with the strong sathana of myself we could decrease the Raja and Tama gunas. Please give us instructions from time to time.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamuneswara Das.

HpS - How is your morning program?   When do you get up?  Do you do Mangala-arati regularly?   What deities do you keep on your altar??

Hare Krsna Maharaj,
PAMHO, AGTSP....

Thanks for being fixed up in service. We met one devotee whom you had interacted [with] on Whatsapp group and is your acquitance. He does not have a child so we did not pursue talks about illicit sex.

We are having hard time integarting with people around us, including local ISK temple. We are not very sure of our nature, hence went in more  to study astrology. To us astrology is great science and tells us us how we are bounded by planets who are reciprocating our Karma.

HpS - Srila Prabhupada accepted that it is a reality. It is like getting information from a doctor about how your particular body works, but hard to do in Kali yuga and ultimately, practically, dependent on Krsna's desire.

I dont have any engagement in regards to local or virtual ISK.  So would recommend to study astrology ? though its an ocean and there are lot of ap-sampradya here also.  how you think astrology can be used in service of Srila Prabhupada or Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu anyways?

HpS - There is apparently a letter from SP telling the Temple President in New York that he can use astrology for marriage arrangements for the devotees.

We hear Bhanu Swami who does it very well says that really it is only really practical for determining Career, Marriage and Time of Death.

We have just as many problems in ISKCON as an institution as anybody, but we have our personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada by so many media, based upon  our little desire to do so.

You are very sincere. Maybe more sincere than we.  So ask Prabhupada what to do.

If you have the determination to care for a family, get a PhD, then seems you can work effectively on a morning program: Managala arati (Kirtan), Japa, Bhag. literature, Prasadam. Then your day will be play.

Get a study partner in your area and do the program on line. Is it broadcast from Dehli, Bombay?   Do they have groups?    Conquer Maya. 

Astrology is like using programing for Krsna. No better, no worse.   Morning program is the enzyme that makes any program useful.

I tried entering ‘992 055 489’ to join the morning SB class and i think i need a different startmeeting ‘online meeting id’ To join the conference. 

ASA - Hare Krsna!!!   Prabhu!    We just tried it. It worked. Call in number is +1 701 801 1220  O.K??

On the esanga page when i click ‘Listen in now’  i see a ‘dial in number’ ‘online meeting ID’ and ‘join Online meeting’ button that will launch the startmeeting app and connect to that conference.  Just not having success to access daily morning class.  

Thanks in advance for the help!
