Letters to the editor

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaj H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj. Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet.

HpS - AgtSP. Again, we must protest that we do not yet seem to have lotus feet. I am looking at them. They are not swollen, as sometimes happens. The toe nails are properly cut. Look good, agtSP, for 77 years of road life.

In our Svarupa we would all seem to have lotus feet, or lotus hooves, no?

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj,

Merciful Guru Maharaj, Thank you for protecting me always, your lotus feet (ibid) is my only refuge.

Trying to send the link to a dance drama performed by a congregation member and her team. By Srila Prabhupada's, Sripad Maharaj and Guru Maharaj's mercy, we are meditating on bringing the culture to Peru...as Guru Maharaj so desires...

In the play...Mahaprabhu finds all his bhaktas at Nadia, and starts lamenting Sreedam's absence.

Nityainanda Prabhu couldn't watch Mahaprabhu suffering , says he will go to Vraj to get Sreedam.

At Vraj, Sreedam is waiting patiently to be sought by Kanhai. ...

Nityananda reaches Vraj...remembers Vraj leela...remembers Mother Yasoda...calls out Ema! Ema! ( Mother! Mother!). He remembers Mother Yasoda's butter milk...

Nityananda calls out Sreedam...Sreedam...

Sreedam hears his name being called. He thinks....perhaps Kanhai is sending someone to catch me! Answers back..." Who are you? Nobody can catch me. ..not even Kanhai!! So go back!!'. " Who are you trying to cheat me by being in Kanhai's side?". Refuses to come out of the cave..

Nityananda pacifies Sreedam....cool down dear Sreedam...we are all together with Kanhai in another lifetime at Nadia...

Sreedam says..." I can't believe, how can Kanhai leave me...we are still playing hide and seek".

Nityananda says, " if you don't believe me Sreedam, what can I do? Please tell me your desire".

Sreedam says, " let us race, only Balaram can catch me, run faster than me!".

Nityananda wins...brings Sreedam to Nadia.

On seeing Mahaprabhu, Sreedam laments, doubts His Kanhai...asks, ' why has your complexion changed from dark to golden? Do you remember Mother Yasoda waiting for you with butter in her hands as you return after tending the cows? Where is your flute, your peacock feather, your yellow robes...let us go to Vraj."...cries

To clear Sreedam's doubts Mahaprabhu shows Viswambara roop.

Sreedam is convinced...He offers koti koti pranams at Mahaprabhu's feet and gets his name Abhirama in Nabadwipa leela.

We would like to offer this play at your lotus feet dear Guru Maharaj.

Sending the link...kindly let us know how to serve you better dear Guru Maharaj.

Your insignificant servant,

Sarad Gaurangi DD

HpS - Is it based upon some story by Jiva Goswami or other.

Seems like nice drama!!

Hare krsna dear Gurudev

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances

Regarding and in response to letter https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15797/

HpS/ASA - I remember we met in the Transit area when you both were returning from India. Vijaya govinda Das was recovering from some intense anxiety attack, and had taken some help from the medical staff in the airport.

We are too far away from this situation to offer practical, detailed advice.

yes, dear Gurudev, we cross paths on the international zone (transit area of the airport) back in 2022 in Lima, Peru (your very last visit in Peru).

I would like to clarify that incident a little further: I was standing in the check-in line when I suddenly began to feel a very intense abdominal pain. I went to the restroom, but the pain increased so much that within a few minutes I lost the ability to speak or even breathe normally. I could not call for help, so I just lie down on the floor waiting for assistance. By Krsna´s mercy, the airport medical team quickly arrived and also my entire family came.

The medical doctor performed a point-of-care test on me (probably to rapidly detect COVID or drug abuse), while my dad assisted me with a massage. After about 20 minutes been on the floor, I begin inhaling and exhaling without difficulty and feeling kind of relief, but still bewildered by this unusual situation.

Then medical doctor said it was an anxiety attack and I may continue my trip. she asked if this had happened before, my mom reply that it had never happened to me. At that moment, i was simply grateful to be alive and respiring again, I couldn’t think on argue back the medical staff, just wanted to say thanks and continue my trip. then I took a brief pause before continue traveling if the pain continuous and I could need more medical assistance, then right after that our paths crossed at the airport.

Once back in Paraguay, I went to hospital to get comprehensive medical exam, and the diagnosis was very clear: biliary colic caused by gallstone, which requires surgery (as I had already mentioned this in a previous letter: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13677/).

HpS - Super news. Thank you!!!

Later, in December 2024, I had another similar episode of biliary colic when i was at the ISKCON Asunción temple, which led to an emergency surgery. By Krsna´s mercy, the surgery was successful.

In conclution, this incident at the airport was not a sign of emotional instability, nor a panic or anxiety attack, I have never suffered from such conditions or attacks or any psychiatric condition like this, in fact it was a medical issue -biliary colic by gallstone (Acute cholecystitis)- nowadays successfully treated surgically. I will attach medical reports that confirm all of this.

HpS/ASA . Next Vijaya Das may come back and make some contrasting description of the situation from his perspective.

My belief is that the entire letter does not reflect Narayani’s true voice, thoughts or will. instead it seems a letter influenced or even manipulated by someone else. That is my perspective. Therefore, I cannot directly respond to the specific points of that letter. I would rather safeguard and protect Narayani’s privacy and dignity above any other issue.

HpS - Thank you.

still i remain fully available to continue and resolve this matter in a private dialogue, not for my sake, but for the well-being of all parties involved.

Regarding the legal aspect of the divorce proceedings, I also think this is not the right place to discuss such matters. that aspect shall continue in the local judicial system.

HpS - Again, thank you. We agree. We had an exchange of WhatsApp letters on this with some of the people involved in conflict and others involved as mediators. Of course, this goes on in Krsna's lila as Rama and the Battle of Kuruksetra also. In Vraja it is refined and the conflict is delightful.

Within our devotional community of this blog, my desire is to keep the focus on devotional service to Sri krsna. so If further clarification is required, please do not hesitate to contact me. i will remain always disposal towards constructive dialogue.

kind regards

thank you

your servant

Vijaya Govinda das

HpS - Thank you!!!!

Hare Krishna, Gurudev, dandavat pranam

Pamho. agtSP

I'm happy to be writing to the Blog again.

We've had a very interesting few months.

We participated in two Ratha Yatras in Spain, in Barcelona and Tenerife, and we offered musical dramas for the attendees, "The Goal of Life."

During Janmastami in Malaga, we also presented a musical drama at the temple for the delight of the devotees, and we're full of energy for our upcoming performances in India.

We currently live on the island of Tenerife.

Prahlada is in first year of primary school, his mother works as a social communicator, and I work at the Govinda restaurant in the city.

I also help out as a pujari at various times for the temple.

Here we have Their Lordships Jagannath Baladeva Subadra. We're working hard to establish ourselves here and seek to deliver the message of Krishna consciousness to those who wish.

Gurudev, what are your plans for next year? Are you coming to Spain or India? I could assist you if you go to Vrindavan. If you wish, I could help in your service. Then I would go to Mayapur during the Gaura Purnima festival to continue my artistic service there.

HpS/ASA - As we published in "anveSaka", we are camped in ISKCON Houston until end of December. Then we have tickets for one week travel to Nashville and Dallas and then to Spain on 24th December. After that we are developing plans for a VIP tour to India for about a month, leaving and returning to Spain.

We continue daily worship of Nitay Saci Dulal and the silas. Thank you for returning to the FMP program. I hope to see you soon.

Your servant

Parama Karuna das

HpS - Jaya!! AgtSP!!!!!

We are absorbed in Japa from 12.50-3.50AM online, the Temple program etc. That is enough to get us firmly fixed in Sankirtan.

Daily SB class with the devotees here.

YouTube.Com ISKCON Houston.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, por favor, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias.

En mi carta anterior, donde le escribo sobre mi mudanza y mis proyectos de Jyotish y Samudrika, usted me responde lo siguiente:

HpS/ASA - Comience con algunas preguntas y comentarios generales. También nos gustaría ampliar la predicación en estas áreas y podemos hacer algunos comentarios.

¡Nuestros respetos para Yadu y compañía!

¡Sri Krishna Sankirtan Ki Jai!

Sobre mi mudanza a la ciudad de Tarapoto-Perú, la verdad es, que no sé, cuanto tiempo estaré por esta zona, pero bueno, ya estoy aquí y prácticamente es un cambio de ambiente en muchos aspectos. Veré que ocurre.

Con respecto al jyotish y el samudrika, son actividades que vengo realizando de forma regular, también tengo un canal en YouTube. Mi canal de YouTube está en desarrollo. Para todo esto se necesita mucha paciencia.

Por otro lado, con respecto a mi salud, trato de cuidarme, de no cargar mucho peso por mi columna vertebral. No soy de acudir a doctores (No confió en ellos).

Bueno Guru Maharaja, me despido, que el Señor Nrsimha lo proteja siempre. Hare Krsna 🙏

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja, please accept my respectful obeisances.

In my previous letter, where I wrote to you about my move and my Jyotish and Samudrika projects, you responded as follows:

HpS/ASA - Please start with some general questions and comments. We would also like to expand our preaching in these areas and can make some comments.

Our respects to Yadu and company!

Sri Krishna Sankirtan Ki Jai!

Regarding my move to the city of Tarapoto, Peru, the truth is, I don't know how long I'll be in this area, but well, I'm here now, and it's practically a change of scenery in many ways. I'll see what happens.

Regarding Jyotish and Samudrika, these are activities I've been doing regularly. I also have a YouTube channel. My YouTube channel is in development. All of this requires a lot of patience.

On the other hand, regarding my health, I try to take care of myself and not carry too much weight on my spine. I'm not one to go to doctors (I don't trust them).

Well, Guru Maharaja, I'm leaving. May Lord Nrsimha protect you always. Hare Krishna 🙏

Gadai Gauranga Dasa

HpS/ASA - Thank you.

Putting up notices offering services in Vegetarian restaurants etc. about Jyotish and Samudrika services.

PAMHO AGTSP! All glories to Sri Sri Guru And Gauranga!

HK Maharaj good morning how are you?

HpS - Normal. 🙂

Jaya Jaya Hari Nama. Cid ananda amrta dhama. Para tattva aksara akara.

All glories to the Holy Names. The eternal abode of blissful perspective. The transcendent truth. Indestructible. Every transcendent.

How’s your health doing? Are you still in the States?

ASA/TB - He died and went to heaven, but that is just temporary.

His gross body.

I’m needing here Nrishimhadeva to act in the legal case I’m dealing with the mother of my child.

First she suit [sued] me, I haven’t seen my child in 1 year, now she’s impeding my parents to see my child.

I only ask Ugra Nrishimhadeva to help us with this.

I please ask for your prayers.

Wonderful!

May Lord Nrsmhadeva appear in our lives and the lives of those related to us and destroy all of our misconceptions about the duties of ourselves and them.

Please accept my obeisances, Your Holiness Hanumat Presaka Swami.All glories To Srila Prabhupada.

Please forgive the delay in responding. It is an honor to speak with You.

Thank you for wishing that I may contribute to Srila Prabhupada's and Lord Caitanya's Sankirtan.

I learned to make animations a little with some apps, but now I've stopped making animations because I'm very interested in learning different types of Spanish from many countries. For example, my mom speaks like a Peruvian, and my dad speaks like a Uruguayan.

There's an app called Flipaclip that teaches you how to make animations. I haven't seen it on YouTube.

Thank you, Maharaja. I hope you are well. Here are some pictures of drawings I made when I was younger.

Hare Krishna🙏😄Please forgive the delay in responding. It is an honor to speak with yo

HpS/ASA - Srila Prabhupada's books and Harinama Sankirtan, Japa, are the greatest teachers!!!!
