Letters to the editor

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

Please accept my humble obeisances!

Thank you for your reply Maharaj! Always so inspiring and illuminating :) 

Thank you for answering my unlimited questions... I will keep coming with more XD. 

A club, you say? How can I do this? What will the paramaters of this club? Hare Krsna music? Karmi music? Dance floor? It is a very interesting idea.. The notion of a club will attract many people :)

HpS -- HK/HR!!!!!       A really good example is the ISKCON Tucson, Arizona,USA Temple .... Chaitanya Cultural Center. That is the way it is labeled on the nice wall. Then there is a restaurant that wins awards: https://www.govindasoftucson.com/

Then there is a fish pond with a roaring water fall with beautiful fish. A two story tall aviary, a gift store that is like a trip to the best museums in India, juice, bar patio, and th regular temple activities in terms of Aratis, festivals, Japa yoga..

Maharaj, our family is planning to visit India and Azerbaijan during December time... We are going to visit Papa's family.. They are missing us so much :( Is it possible for you to visit end of January? In that way we will be able to have your holy association!!

HpS - I think I posted that it is like 78% sure that we would go to India in the end of November and then leave in March. We were thininking it would be nice to visit Australia again during that time. We ould like to meet artists, poets, scientists.  Do you have exact dates?  It will be cold in India then. In Punjab it will be brutal I think.

I am quite passionate about art in fact. I like to do dot painting. I have painted so many pictures, including Baladev (Everything is painted in dots). Water colour painting, however, is a little diffcicult to master. And I'm not very good at it XD. 

Although art is a very nice, creative subject, much of a career cannot be made out of it. Only when artists are dead do they make perhaps $40 million. Perhaps art can be used in other ways, for example, design? I don't know, I will have to see... I am trying so many things. I can even study something in Uni but still do all these other things. Maybe that way I will find my passion. 

HpS - Exactly, try a lot of stuff. You may discover talents you did not know you had.  Again, it is not so much what you know as who you know. Look for good teachers and dont worry too much about the subject they are teaching. Develop skills that will fit into your family, society situation.  For example, communication is a good skill for ISKCON.

I have told Bheemsen of the profession you suggested XD. He's asking if he can be a detective? :P 

As always, I hope your health is in best condition! 

Haribol! 

Yours servant,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Lakshmi

HpS - We have been working hard all day on these eduational programs. Now we have to run to see our mechanic and then visit NGD.      Again, do you have dates for India fixed?   Would it not be better to visit in Spring or Fall (in India)?   Our respects to your very solid Uncle.

 Por favor acepte mis  humildes obediencias  

toda las glorias para Srila Prabhupada 

 Muchas gracias por sus buenos deseos para esta familia 

y por el néctar de la instrucción 

 Un día podría escribir un español en el pais del rey Trump 

  Y  explicar un poco mi vida en América  y mi relación con los devotos mayormente de India 

pero no es muy interesante la verdad es bastante simple cuidado de mi hija, Jahnavi. mi servicio en el templo ,programa espiritual ,la huerta para ofrecer vegetales y flores a la daidades y no hay más horas.

HpS - ASA -- Realmente no es QUE estamos haciendo, es COMO estamos haciendo. Prabhupada tuvo 'una vida en preparacion'. Posible estamos preparando para la proxima vida. Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. Realmente su vida aparece bien interesante.

Queremos Kamagayatri y yo agradecerle a Usted por ser La Luz que guia esta familia y que nos da fuerzas e inteligencia para seguir en el servicio devoción al y entender lo importante que es el legado de Su Divina Gracia Srila Prabhupada que debe continuar para nuestro beneficio y el de las personas que quieren tomarlo 

También hago algunas ceremonias de fuego el pasado viernes fue inauguración de una nueva casa y vinieron unas cien personas hubo Kirtan y Anantarupa Prabhu dio una clase de Bhagavad Gita que fue lo realmente importante 

esperando que llegue pronto Balaram Purnima para tener su asociación 

sus sirvientes

murari dasa y familia 

HPS - -  Si, tenemos boleto. Llegamos 22, Miercoles, Augosto, y salimos para Espana, 29.  Claro podemos levar unas cosas pequenos, y intensos, en nuestra equipaje de mano (mono [monje]).

Dandawat Pranam

Please accept my most humble obeisance on to your lotus feet.

HpS - We are struggling to uncover our lotus feet. Followint  standard for humble servant of Strila Prabhuapda but still subtle attachments to good food and mundane poetry.

All glories to GURU and GAURANGA.

How are YOU GURUMAHARAJji? Hope fine. From the letters in this blog, I came to know that YOUR eyes are still having the problem? I think if you could take a one-inch bulb of raw turmeric every day, empty stomach, then the immune system in YOUR body would be stronger to fight back the bodily problems (to some extent). Please forgive me for suggesting YOU like this as because you know Ayurveda far far far better than me.

HpS - Thank you. So many people give suggestions. We try to follow them, but resting eyes seems to be one of the biggest helps.

At here we are eagerly waiting for your arrival at India. Hope to meet you soon as early as possible.

HpS - We are waiting to see if we have invitation for lecture in Bhag bazaar in November..

GURUMAHARAJji, as per your instructions at our last meet at Kolkata ISKCON temple, I have tried a lot to cop up with my father and start a business at home itself. But till now no progress has been made. And now a situation has come when I am bound to go out for seeking jobs somewhere.  The below lists are some which I have sorted out and going to apply for but only after getting permission from YOU.

• http://www.fwo.be/nl/jobs/jobs-voor-onderzoekers/phd-position-at-the-department-of-earth-and-environmental-sciences-at-the-ku-leuven/

GURUMAHARAJji, please forgive me for disturbing you like that during your tour session, and please have mercy on me.

YOURS most foolish servant,

Visvambhara-gauranga Das

HpS - Hare Krsna!    We really don't have much use in helping you with details of career....    Of course, don't transpor meat of kill frogs or cook turkeys....  but details would come from your experience and people who know you and the field.

Expect Krsna to make some practical arrangement for you to meet your simple family expenses, then use your time to cultivate the human spirit by the light  of the bhagavata!

Please send us news of your adventures in this regard!! !      All respects to your family!!!!!!         Hare Krsna. Hare Rama.

Hare Krishna

 All the glories to Srila Prabhupada

 Please Dear Maharaj accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet!

 Maharaja :

  I hope you get better from your eyes, infections are such a bothering thing to deal with, due to antibiotics being so hard on your system. i can recomend you using cold camomile to wash your eyes, it makes them very fresh and helps if it itches :)

HpS - ASA --  We typed about three pages of answer to your letter and then it got erased..... Agan....  1) You are a neophyte pure devotee.

thanks for answering this, this makes me understand a lot of things now, i feel relief but also hopefull. 

 Avoid as many falldowns into pizza and salad from the zoo that you can.

 marahaj i been avoiding this for many years now hehehehehe

Make a vow of how many rounds you will chant each day minumum until the next Ekadasi. It may not be 16-yet, because this you HAVE to do. Something you know you can do!!

 i make a vow of chanting 5 rounds in daily basis, just as a start. 

Wonder Woman chants Japa.

i didnt know this!!! by the way, btw, im going to paint something for you, i will be sending pictures of it soon!!! 

 Haribol!!!

HpS - ASA ----   Thank you for the news!   Five rounds a day, live or die!  Until next Ekadasi.

Dear Gurudeva

For health reasons

we leave the teenagers

at school, I will miss them,

sure soon we will distribute books again,

until we go back to work.

Now we will have more time to read and focus

in what really matters my spiritual life.

We are no longer afraid or worried, Krsna will help us

Krsna provides, I am reading SB 7 song and BG for BS classes

Although without internet, without a cell phone,

we are glad to know that we will have time

to do exercises, cook deities (NGS),

Krsna will take me to India, because by myself I could not get it.

The plans totally changed by the divine hand.

Yugala now, fenix bird almost burns house with its old kitchen,

and it's that sooner or later we're leaving

some more burned than others,

Gurudeva his blessings,

to focus on the rounds.

May my evil mind be purified.

I hate sick. I want to be cured of that

definitely

Gurudeva?

Any recommendation?

His daughter who adores him:

Yugala Kishora Dasi

Querido Gurudeva

Por motivos de salud

dejamos a los adolescentes

en el colegio,  los echaré de menos,

seguro pronto volveremos a distribuir libros,

hasta que volvamos a trabajar.

Ahora tendremos más tiempo para leer y enfocarnos

 en lo que realmente importa mi vida espiritual.

Ya no tenemos miedo, ni preocupación, Krsna nos ayudará

Krsna provee, estoy leyendo el canto 7 de SB y el BG para las clases BS

Aunque sin internet, sin celular,

nos alegra saber que tendremos tiempo

para hacer ejercicios, cocinar a deidades (NGS),

Krsna me llevará a india, porque por mi misma no he podido conseguirlo.

Los planes totalmente cambiados por la mano divina.

Yugala ahora, ave fenix casi quema casa con su vieja cocina,

y es que tarde o temprano nos vamos

algunos más quemados que otros,

Gurudeva sus bendiciones,

para enfocarnos en las rondas.

Que mi mente perversa se purifique.

El odio enferma. Quiero curarme de eso

definitivamente

Gurudeva? 

¿Alguna recomendación?

HpS - ASA --  Thank you for your nice letter. It is poetry. P'pada said that this body does not get diseases, the body is a disease. So, we are only free from diseases when we are DEAD.    Even P'pada manifest diseases, of course this is arrangement of Krsna. M. Pariksit was cursed by a Brahmana boy and bitten by a snake, but arrangement of Krsna. If we are following the standard of initiation then Radha is personally taking care of our situation. She is arranging things for us to become more and more purified, better and better soldiers, salesmen, sailors, firemen...

All we do and preach is to chant all the time and then adopt the inspiration that Krsna sends. Anybody who gets your association is very fortunate. Share your self as much as you can.

Dear Gurudev Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.

ASA - AGTSP...  We are still working on the lotus feet. Celery or carrot feet might be better description.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope you will be happy, happy in your wonderful and inspiring sankirtan. Last month Jaganatha came to the house with an elephant trunk! a beautiful wooden deity that Franco carved several years ago and had given it away. but apparently Jaganito wanted to go back to the one who carved it and several weeks ago that he is already with us. One more deity was added to our little altar. the truth is that I do not treat them very well for one reason or another, but Sri Jaganatha is so merciful that he comes in spite of my bad attentions. This deity of jaganatha is like a baby! As soon as you see it, you see a baby wanting to hug you, he is very tender.

So before I had three babies, ladhu gopal, makanchor gopal and my son krsnaram gopal. and now that my son was six years old, and he is no longer a baby, I had two .. But when I get jaganitho, I feel like an elephant, I think a baby came, so it's still three ¨)

HpS - ASA -- It seems that part of your letter was lost.  We have been worried not to hear from you. Especially after you stopped joining the programs in Cordoba while we were there.

Our respects to Franco.

We hope you are eliminating your attachments to the material world, getting rid of Anarthas. We can use our intelligence to find how to dovetail these problems into service, but just following the regulated process of hearing and chanting and Puja gives guarnteed progress.

Chant 16 nice rounds/day minimum!    You will never lose anything you need and Krsna will bring things you need if you focus on that!  No pictures of Jagannatha!
