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.

Gurudev, Hope you are good in health and doing well.

we are getting prepared for to travel Chhattisgarh ( Feb 9 - 26, 2018 ) for to tell about Krsna to all, whom we are going to meet.
we prepared topics from BG, SB for house holders, youth, school going student, college student etc.

we have set goals, meetings and classes for this travel and determined to keep trying till the end of this life with whatever
we have. we are not going to complain to Krsna that he has not given me this and that.we would keep fighting for best for Krsna
without thinking about expected results. We would keep tying whether we are alone or with many. This life is fixed for Krsna only.

Yeah, we know you are upset with me as we did not contributed anything to - "Viplava" for upcoming edition, as of. But we can assure you that we can be delay but we are not allowed to disobey your single word. we are dedicated to your words. This life is for you.

HpS - We are not upset!!   It takes time to see how you can fit in. When I understood how much Srila Prabhupada wanted the Bhaktivedanta Institute I surrendered, but could not see immediately how I could help, but then I saw my niche.

We are deeply thinking, what we can contribute to you, to Srila Prabhupada, to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur, to Sril Bhaktivinoda Thakur
and to this mission with little pending time with me so that we can please you and all.

Guru Maharaj, we are very hopeful and positive on your instructions on the path of bhakti so we pray for strength to follow you.

Thank you so much Gurudev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Best luck with your preaching tour. As soon as you preach you will get more knowledge about how to preach....

I think they thought we were joking ; hahahahahaha

HpS-ASA - Radha and Krsna's pastimes are flooded with joking?  Who are "they"????

Hare Krishna Hanumatpresaka swami! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

How are you? I hope you’re always happy and full of knowledge!

HpS - We hope so also, but it is a battle of Kurkusetra, by the unlimited mercy of Srila Prabhupada we go forward!!

I had passed christmas holidays in Nueva Vrajamandala. I like stay there.

HpS - Lucky, Dog!!

I was thinking about in what way i’m going to serve Krishna. What I want to do with that life?

Grihastha ashram is good, i feel  some kind of atracction to that, but it seems very… ¿agobiante? epecially because of children. I Heard in some of your lessons that is the option of be married but not have children.. Please can you explain me more about that?

Because I understand that if you married it is a duty to have children. I supose that if you don’t want children so don’t have sex. Ok i think is possible.

I think in my case is good have a partner to help us each other in our spiritual progress. But i don’t want to get tangled up more of that i am now.  I would like to have that support and can share and help to the other person in spiritual way.

So it would be ‘’legal’’ option to be married but don’t have children?

I was thinking in other option that is monastic life. It seems very nice… I have been seeing interviews to young monks and nuns. They look really happy and soul-clean. Intelligent guys. Is beautiful how Krishna finds the way for establish contact with differents persons by diferent ways.., He knows everyone!!

These nuns are catholics, they have good ‘’ashram’’ without much distractions, live  without contact with opposite sex and have the asociattion with other nuns. Does exist ISKCON ashram for matajis like monastery??

This summer I want to stay in Nueva Vrajamandala for 2 months, without any contact with Mantri Rama. I think it can be interesant to see how reacts my mind and emotions… because  normally when i am in temple the life turns light for my mind because is enganged in doing service. So I don’t know… let’s see what Krishna has planned, i’m sure is something nice.

I started to wake up at 4, drink water J, and chant 16 rounds, then mangala arati, read a little… and go to university with finished rounds. Is nice to start the day in that way it satisfies me a lot, and i have energy and optimism  for the rest of the day.

I think about doing some ‘’Mantras on the grass’’ or ‘’Kirtan Grass’’ hahaha, in the university maybe 2 times at week during the hour of rest.. Stik some posters over the campus ‘’Stay higth forever in transcendental vibration!!’’  

We started to distribute books, we have 15 boxes!! Is very nice that devotees are motivated with sankirtan, next week we want go to streets.

I finished Sri Isopanisad, I like when Prabhupada says ‘’Uno puede apreciarlo a Él en proporción a lo que se haya entregado a Él’’… is difficult to surrender to Krishna suffering the material disease.. so I want to be cured of this disease!

Thank you very much for all the service you do helping Krishna’s children to meet their father. Thank you!! thank you!!!

Your servant, Arina.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!  AGTSP..  Esteemed Arina, we don't remember you!!!  Are you black, white, red, yellow, male, female, human, tiger, pigeon!

We can go directly into Vanaprastha ashrama but that is very difficult for a girl, but some times is possible. There are couples like Vaisesika and his wife and Virabahu Das who have lived as Vanaprastha.

Really the first step is to get fixed in being a devotee. Get initiated, matiriculated, and then after a year or two as fixed devotee your Varna and Ashrama service becomes very clear, but yes, one can directly into Vanaprastha, emotional relationship but no gross relationship.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis reverencias

El 2018 estoy comenzando con 2 grupos Bhakti vriksha establecidos. En el grupo Nimai Nitay (Callao) nos reunimos cada semana en casa de Prahu Abhiram y hemos hecho planes de prédica para Enero, Febrero y Marzo para atraer a más personas a la conciencia de Krishna. En Chosica, en Febrero tenemos planeado distribuir alimentos en una población pobre.

En Febrero termino de dar el curso de Introducción al Bhakti Yoga en Wilson, luego espero dar ese tiempo para abrir un nuevo grupo Bhakti vrisha en Lima.

Muchas Gracias Guru Maharaj por darnos inspiración en el Servicio Devocional

Hare Krishna,

HpS - Jaya!    TLGASP!!!!   Pfanhr.  Y su ashrama? Esta quedando en papel de Brahmacari??   Super fotos.

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja
Please, accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope you are in good health, we are very happy to have your association daily through the FMP, we are very lucky although sometimes we are not aware of that fortune. I wrote to you at the end of last year sending you a short tribute for your Vyasapuja but the message was part of the avalanche of greetings that reached the end of their lives orbiting the sun. Anyway, the celebration of your Vyasapuja was very sincere and was impregnated with your mood, Gurudeva.

ASA - Thank you very much!!  God who sees all things in private will reward us in private! <img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" />

Regarding the request of Prahlad Nrsimha Prabhu, I can offer my service for anything he needs, it would be great to serve a devotee in his meaningful endeavour. Please, put me in contact with him for coordinations. My email account is: gandharvxxx.

Indira Sakti and I continue to serve in Wilson's pujari, happy, enthusiastic and convinced of the path we have started under your instruction. Likewise, we continue to study Bhakti sastri and  my reading of Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta. It has been fundamental for my enthusiasm and conviction to know a little more about Srila Prabhupada, this work has given me the reasons I urgently needed to lift my spirits and continue my devotional life in his ISKCON.

I thank you again for your association, I hope someday to understand the enormous fortune with which we have been blessed.

Your insignificant servant

Gandharva dasa

HpS - Lilamrta... the one volume or the many volume??     We are sending your address to the Prahlada-nrsmha Das!!!  See you in about 49 day 4 hours!  Export your ISKCON Peru.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Maharaj, I feel so fortunate that you remember this fallen soul and that you send instructions to remind us how to serve the Lord. I am so fortunate that you sent me instructions in the previous email. You have very correctly instructed me that the jewels and gems of the hari-nama have to be shared and not just collected but also distributed to all. I hope to do the same in my weekly Bhagavad-Gita As It Is reading programs that I do every week in Texas A&M University - Kingsville at my STA Newman Hall room. In this program done weekly, we have kirtan, Bhagavad-Gita AS IT IS reading, lecture by senior devotees (over Skype sometimes), aarti, offering bhoga, and distribution of prasadam. I am the faculty advisor for our Vedanta club at Texas A&M University - Kingsville. There is one devotee from Pune - Hrishikesh Prabhuji who is the President of our Vedanta club at Texas A&M University - Kingsville. Then there are Bhanu Kishore Devisetty, Mithilesh Korrapati, Poorna Sai Sama, Sai Srinivas, Sai Krishna Jangala, and many others who are students at Texas A&M University - Kingsville who are committee members of our Vedanta club at Texas A&M University - Kingsville. This Vedanta club at Texas A&M University - Kingsville is now registered officially as a student club.

Early on in this new year, we hope to get your blessings for our continued success of our student club Vedanta at Texas A&M University - Kingsville.

YAS,

Aja Govinda dasa
