Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Gurudev.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverenvias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Gurudev, respondiendo a Sus ultimas preguntas. Yo no he sabido nada acerca de la revista acerca de la Educación en ISCKON en español. Yo creo que Prabhu Jagad Gutu debe estar trabajando en eso, pero supongo que hasta cuando se deba escribir algún artículo acerca de lo que hacemos en el Departamento aqui en Chile, vamos a poder apoyar en algo para la revista.

Con respecto a los grupos de estudio para Homeschooling. Yo podría participar, cuando eso esté listo, aunque no es mi foco ahora. Estoy concentrada en hacer programas enbel templo para los niños devotos.

En el 2015 por consejo de Prabhu Param Padam, se tomó contacto con Bhakta Rupa Prabhu, quien dió la autorización psra que yo fuera Administradora y Grader de Bhakti Sastri en Chile. Todo se hizo a través de Srila Virabahu Maharaja, quien me pidió todos mis certificados de los cursos que se requieren para poder hacer ese servicio. Yo no entiendo bien si él, Bhakta Rupa Prabhu, es o no parte del ministerio de Educación de ISKCON, quizá Usted me lo puede decir Gurudev.

HpS - Jaya!  Si, tiene muchas cargas en ISKCON pero es Secretario del Board of Examiners cual es parte del Ministerio.

Pronto comenzamos con los cursos para los devotos y programas de estudio y talleres para los niños.

Estamos haciendo Sankirtan en las Univerdidades junto a Indulekha y Gokulesvari... Un servicio muy nectáreo... muy necesario!!! 

No pude conectarme a FMP por unos días, ya que nos mudamos de casa y no teníamos internet. Ya tengo internet en casa y estamos intentando retomar Su programa de manera regular.

Muchas gracias por Su ejemplo, e indpiración..

Su aspirante a sirviente.

HpS - Hare Krsna!    Muy, muy bien.  Siempre recuerdas que ensyamos los que realizamos. Si levanta para Mangala arati, Kirtan, SB, rondas y principios, eso e lo que estamos ensenyando. Si, no, eso es lo que estamos ensenyando.

Esperamos adelantar Home Schooling y Revista en Chile todo pronto.

HpS - AGTSP!!    Hare Krsna!!   Esteemed Lone Ranger.   We sent an address in the last letter and then never heard from you.  Here it is again: [email protected].

If you don't get a response promptly then write this Blog again.

We are sorry for any delay. We seem to be dealing with things as best we can but are of limited capacity.

HpS - ASA -- Thank you!!

Dear Guru Maharaj PAMHO AGTSP

Dandavat Pranam

I'm okay ,very happy and exciting to meet you soon.

HpS - ASA -- Well I hope it won't be a disappointment. We are generally just an ISKCON devotee. AGTSP.

Start Meeting is work perfectly, inspiring and making me happy every day.It's a Krishna's mercy to hear your voice every day.

HpS - You are just like Lord Siva. You see bad qualities as good qualities.

Hare Krishna.

Dear Gurudev, maybe is the best if I meet you on the airport when you landing in Delhi,and together go to the Temple?

HpS - When do you arrive? Have you arranged for accomodations at the Temple? We should be Camped there from 28th Sep - 1 Oct nights. Then go to Indoor/Ujjain. Probably better to meet at Temple.

Hare Krishna

Your servant

HpS - Muchas gracias Prabhu!    We hope to get lots of communication from her and then after six months she can take first initiation!!   Thank you!!

Por favor escribanos con mas noticias de Sri Sri ISKCON Santiago.!

Hare Krishna Maharaj!

Pamho! AgtSP!

Thank you for your response on the last letter. I’m engaging in war with my mind every day to get some discipline established. Its tough but doable [to some degree.] Trying to not eat at night so I can wake up in the mornings. Morning programs are nice (best on the rainy days). Will also try to make more FEPS (the notifications are so short notice!)

Somehow managed to get accommodations in Vraja—close to ISKCON temple. I will be splitting the room with another nice girl from the UK.  Krishna is kind. Any recommendations of things to do that aren’t mainstream (of course govardhan, Parikrama, offering ghee lamps, etc…but anything off the beaten path …that Brajvasis do?)

ASA - When you get their just look for new friends at the Temple. When two thieves meet upon the road they need no introduction, they know each other by sight.

Go to the English Gita class in the evenings.

Get some one to take you to the "Old" Radha Govinda Temple. It is the one Rupa Goswami built.  Just sit in a corner and chant and try to imagine what is was like at Janmaastami 500-years ago.
Chant Hare Krsna and wander around with a girl friend. You might meet a Gopi. You might not come back.

Get vdm.docx from our ASA Archives. It is worth $25,000,000. Read it slowly while you are in Vraja.

You asked about father’s spiritual purification. I’m not sure if you’ve known, but my dad’s a Shiva devotee… he still worships Krishna and Vishnu and everything…and he’s encouraging about my spiritual practice but often sees it as a ‘diluted’ version as compared to traditional Hinduism (then again he doesn’t read  so I can’t hold his opinions in high regard) …and he also has been chewing tobacco since his days in the air force and it’s a habit he’s tried to quit so many times but now just accepted it and basically justifies it saying Shiva does it so it’s okay (which is total hogwash in my opinion). He also fasts on Ekadasis and Mondays (yet still chews the tobacco so I doubt there’s progress there…)

So I can’t really gauge his spiritual trajectory. But it is because of him that I had an ‘inkling’ of spiritual practice from a young age. He’d encourage my sister and I to fast and participate in aarti  early mornings and make offerings to the Lord. The tobacco issue is something we’ve beaten to a pulp. No change. I honestly don’t have any expectations either. I just need to be grateful for what’s been provided to me by them. I have friends whose families are very discouraging about Krishna consciousness and am fortunate not to be on that boat.

I doubt I willl cross paths with you in India, but I do wish you the smoothest journey, free of complications.

Please keep shining your grace and mercy Gurudev.

Thank you for your mercy.

Your struggling servant,

Sugopi dd

(P.S. Purnima darshan attached!) 

HpS - Well, get an India SIM card after you arrive and maybe we will see each other. Best preaching is example.
