Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhuhpada!

I see that you are well underway on this 10 week tour of North and South America. I should expect a delay to this letter but perhaps it is good since it will help me remember your lotus feet more often.

HpS - ASA - We would like to remember our lotus feet. Maybe we have donkey feet in Goloka also. We would like to rember your, everyone's lotus feet.

I received your reply from my vyasa puja offering and was just curious about a humourous thing you wrote "how long are your intestines, combined?" I figured you just wanted to know more about my family?? How we are? 

Well, now we are five members strong: Husband, Audharya (4years), Arindama (2years), Isavasya (7months), and myself. I stay at home with the children and my husband works now as a teacher for grade 2 students. We are still in Calgary. My parents and sister live here also and the kids really enjoy their company. 

I remember also another comment from a previous letter talking about my japa and you wrote something along the lines of if I don't chant all my rounds it is like giving powdered milk to my kids. It really opened my eyes and since then I have been improving my chanting everyday. Slow increments of at least 8 rounds everyday with ocassional 16 rounds a day. Maharaja, having children to take care of all day makes it difficult but I follwed your advise to rise early and that is what really helps and is making this happen. I feel once again enlivened by chanting my japa and has driven me more to associate with devotees through reading their books. An example is Yamuna devi's unalloyed book. It was beautiful to see her love and dedication to Srila Prabhupada. She ispires me so much. And I wish to resume studying Prabhupada's books- I still remember where I left off in the Bhagavatam!

I write also to ask some advise about how to make a decision. We are trying to decide where to move our family. We have some needs that are not being fulfilled in our current location. A spiritual need is not there because of lack of association our age. There is a temple community but we don't feel very included after almost 4 years living here. We have a need for our children to have a spiritual education as well as peers but here there are not many other youg parents with children. We visited a community that has these needs, and are going to visit another such place. This is us trying to do something about out situation but after having visited a place that has these needs we are finding it difficult to make a decision about it. We thought it was going to be super easy but it proved otherwise. It is very difficult. Do you have any sugestions about what it takes to make an important decision? We just don't have the skills. 

I apologise for the length of this letter. 

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dasi

HpS - AGTSP. We are in Houston with Hari-lila Das. We met you here with him, no?    Mother Yasoda has problems making decisions.

If we chant 16-good rounds early then we can get the solution offered in this purport. To add to that we have Chanakkhya Pandita's advice: Victory comes from good advice and good advice comes from many counselors. So, chant good rounds, read Prabhupada's books, and associate with devotees and you'll get a clear understanding of what to do. It may be that you cannot have a perfect understanding, maybe Krsna Himself is not sure, but we will see what is the best solution right now and later we can reconsider.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva,

Please accept my respectful obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!

We have to thank You Gurudeva, for being so merciful with us.. We should have received stronger words maybe as an answer to our past letter.. we can see that yes, the spiritual master really knows how to treat the mind of his disciple, we felt calmed and at the same time alert, we know we have to improve a lot. We read the verses You sent, the examples you gave and the phrases You used.. However, we just understood or we think we understood some things. And the others are going to be understood then.. we believe that understanding always always come, they are sent(Janardana).. when we are ready maybe.

Definetily things improve when our rounds are chanted with more determination and concentration and of course when they are finished everyday, we would like to keep it like that always, however, our mind tells us we are tired and so busy or while chanting we are thinking about our next step.. right? Or left? Did He said something about it?; about the dream we had at night but we cant remember.. maybe someone gave me an advice there  and now I have lost it; about wise and nice words we read in a message.. so we remember we didnt pray for them yesterday so we do it; about that last conversation when we cried.. is it good for them to be that angry for someone else?.. and .. the list seems to be very long.. sadly.

Still struggling.. could be my lifestyle.. we dont want others feel sorry for us, however, it usually happens.. we see Krishna helping and it makes us happy and brave.. maybe when people feel sorry, they pray for us so Sri Krsna sends help!. (enough maybes). Goura Purnima in Chosica was very nice! we hope we will be able to have a conversation when You come Gurudeva. We will pray more and more with a (hopeful) nice attittud. Que el Señor Nrsimha Deva lo proteja Gurudeva. Hare Krsna Hare Krsna!!!

Su aspirante a sirvienta,

HpS - Hare Krsna.   Just keep Srila Prabhupada in the center. Then everyone else and their contribution will be harmonized. Have you met him personally?  If you have not then you will. Soon. As often as necessary. All we want is for you to be his disciple.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada 

¡Todas las glorias a Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu!

HpS - ASA --- Muy bien!!     Y tambien si tiene observaciones de problemas en su Templo esta Blog is buen situacion para hablar un poco como bienquierente para sugerencias como mejorar la situacion de un perspectivo general. No es buen sitio para hablar de personas especificas por sus nombres en la comenza. Primero clarificando las principios basicas de la problema.  Esperamos sus ideas y notiocias.

Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis reverencias Gurudeva

Hare Krishna!!!Aqui  le queria comunicar que me voy del Yatra de Buenos Aires, quizas me refugie un poco en Mar del plata con Panca Tattva colecte y vaya a India

Es mucha la decepcion que tengo de Los mayores, todos ininputables, si te enojas sos ofensivo si gritas sos agresivo,

Maha Hari se fue a La India con la novia, no es publica sus cuentas, muchas cosas de  su carrera dudosa y ahora con la novia viviendo juntos en India, cobrando 2000 dolares por mes, esta inflado el salario, mucho boga y poca tapas  y el es Mi autoridad? y del Yatra? y Srila Virabahu no lo entiendo

Gunagrahi Prabhu es devuelta Swami, estamos como los babaji y las viudas

Los principios son para los nobles , yo ahora estoy enojado

me canse siento que no puedo confiar 

me  voy antes de que me enoje mas , por  las ofensas  que arruinan todo aunque se que Krishna ve mi corazon. no soy comprendido en esto y  pienso que Usted no me va a llegar a entender con esta carta pequeña

Mucho Maquiabelo

PD: vendi el Smart phone y regale la computadora, no mas tecnologia, solo lo necesaria

haciendo Yoga y leyendo mucho, tratando de cuidarme de mi mente, y de los que se dizfrazan de corderos

A Su Servicio Adi Yajña Das

HpS - Hare Krsna. Yes. It is hard to understand any details in such a short letter. Also, there are not other letters, so we cannot understand any details or fourth. Also if your technology is gone we don't know if you will read this, but we hope you do.

We hope to go on serving Srila Prabhupada by chanting Hare Krishna on serious fashion. That has solved all these social problems for us. 

If a Brahmana does not like a kingdom them he can look for shelter, peacefully, soberly, with another King.

 When we don't travel we can keep more communication on issues like this by internet. When we travel we are in contact with so many people. Of course when we travel we can be personally present and contact so many people.

 Thank you.
