Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

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

I am following the 4 regulative principles and chanting 16 rounds.

We are doing the FMP daily with Dhaasharathi in the mornings, depending on when he wakes up. Most of the time, we do it in the room itself while feeding him. We are also doing Damodar arti daily in the evening with him along with some kirtan. We try to read SB to him daily. We are now in the 22nd chapter of 10th Canto.

We had the great fortune of serving Anantarupa Prabhu when he stayed in our home during his layover to Peru. We took blessing from his Shaligram Shilas and had his association.

I saw Your tweet today Guru Maharaj about your travel plans to Houston. Luckily, our astrologer in India has given us 18th December as the date for the Anna Prashana ceremony for Dhaasharathi and Srinath's daughter Chandranana.

I wanted to ask if it would be ok to do it in Your presence in the Houston temple? The timing for the ceremony is 9.30am to 10am. I wanted to confirm with you if it would be feasible before booking tickets to Houston, Guru Maharaj. It would be a great blessing for both children to have their first rice feeding ceremony in Your presence at Nila Madhava Dham.

If we can do the ceremony in Houston on the 18th of December, then we'll start making the arrangements.

Your humble servant

Sri Rama Krishna Das

HpS - AGTSP.

Seems fine with us.

We should arrive on the 17th, no?

You seem to be keeping your self a pure devotee, so Krsna should be sending innocent people to hear and see your Sankirtan!

Super!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva!

Please accept my respectfull obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope you are well and in good health. I have followed your stay in Radha Kunda, Vrindavan Dham, and your return to Spain on social media. It's very exciting and inspiring to see you so active in your preaching and sankirtan!

I'm writing to tell you that I will be able to visit you in Nueva Vrajamandala. I already have the flight tickets. I will arrive in Madrid on November 6th and I have a return flight to Santiago on December 3rd. After buying the tickets, I checked the Vaishnava calendar and realized that the day I will take the flight from Santiago, November 5th, commemorates the day that Srila Prabhupada left his body. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I've been in communication with your disciples in charge of the service related to your visit in Nueva Vrajamanadala, my friend Yugala Kishor DD and especially with Yasoda DD who is supporting me and guiding me with all the procedures for my stay in Nueva Vrajamandala.

It will be very interesting to meet the devotees there and especially H.H. Yadunandana Swami and H.G. Mahajana Das. I've seen online classes and talks and they are great scholars, with a lot of sensitivity.

I'm very happy with this opportunity to see you and try to serve you directly and personally once again and perform service for Nueva Vrajamandala during my stay. I would very much like to have some conversations with you, with those dialogues I want to write and publish a book. I think that if we don't have enough time, maybe we can start in Spain and continue later online, God willing. Everything depending on your mood, health and disponibility of your time.

Thank you very much for everything, Gurudeva, please accept my respectful obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Hare Krishna!

Your aspiring servant,

Carlos from Iskcon Chile

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. TB and BW et all welcome you to the circus!

Hope we can get some good Sankirtan from your visit.

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva AGTSP PAMHO. 

Hope this meets you in good health and happy

HpS - ASA --- Eyes, agtSP, are burning, constant blinking to see screen for letters, respiration congested, heart happy that we can contriubte to this Sankirtan movment even if we are 70% dead body.

🙂

Thank you!

Today Ulyses turns 14 years old. Please your blessings so that he can be a Hare Krsna in his next life or maybe in this life he can go and play with Krsna.

On the other hand I want to thank you for your support about my pets. With my sister we do not have kids but we do have 7 cats and Ulysses. Some devotees are kind of judgmental about this topic. But... I really really do not care haha

I am attaching some pictures

I hope we can meet again soon

Your eternal servant

CMDD

ASA/TB - Nimai and his 'gang' would travel all over Nadiya making jolly mischief with Panditas and their schools and everyone, and bands of street dogs would join them dancng and barking!!!

Hare Krsna!

Hare Rama!

Hare Krsna! Hare RAMA!

14-dog years = 85/100 human years???

Hare Krishna, Gurudev. I wanted to know if it could be possible to arrange some time to visit you and the devotees in Spain? Would you be able to arrange accomodations? I can figure out my way to New Vraja Mandal.

Tungabhava Gopi Devi Dasi

HpS / ASA - AgtSP. Best to talk with Mitravinda Devi Das about the wonderful but intensesituation here including accomodations.

Other wise, we will be in Rich Moud from 4th to 13th of December.

We-will Whats app you here contact info.

Thank you!!!!

Dear Gurudev,

I have had some problems this last year, a lot of lust. I don't think it is serious in relation to the things I have seen and heard, but I am sorry to wear the Brahmacari clothes and to be agitated, of course not all the time.

At the end of this year I will stop wearing Brahmacari clothes.

Bhumi-pati Das

HpS/ASA -- Thank you, agtSP, for this letter.

As usual we must comment that we cannot contribute much specific comment on this specific situation because of the separation we have by space and details of our service.

In general, as always, we are very awe struck by the depth of your commitment to Lord Caitanya and Srila Prabhupada's mission.

A main thing we might say is that we must always be struggling to develop Sankirtan relations in ISKCON.

Of course, as an institution, even though this is Kali yuga and not the age for perfection through institutions nor Karma yoga, but more by developing friendships in Sankirtan within ISKCON independent of peoples formal institutional positions.

Cook or GBC Secretary may be a close friend in my Sankirtan.

Finally, developing direct experience of Srila Prabhupada as our Sankirtan leader, albeit through so many transparent via media.

E.g. his books, institution, disciples of all kinds, paramatma.

Then the practical intelligence will keep lusty thoughts at a distance.

They will be there but under control, and wearing saffron cloth, as we know, is then very helpful for us and others.

Increase your Brahmacari association in any ashrama.

Thank you.

Hope to see you soon.

¡Hare Krsna! Querido Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

¡Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada y todas las glorias a su trascendental Biblioteca Bhaktivedanta!🙇

Todas las Glorias a Usted, que nos impulsa a desarrollar nuestra relación personal con los libros de nuestro Divino Acarya. 🙇

Por vuestra misericordia y la de varios devotos, le sigo tanto como puedo en su visita a España y el Santo Dham. Estamos ahí en espíritu, mente y corazón. Gracias por obsequiarnos su inspiradora asociación.

Orando para que su energía sea favorable a su Sankirtana y deseando no ser una molestia para usted. Escribo para comunicarle que SS Yadunandana Swami me ha solicitado impartir (en línea) el estudio del Bhagavad Gita (Capítulos 7 a 12) a estudiantes de Bhakti Sastri del Instituto de Estudios Bhaktivedanta España.

Aunque me alegra, intentar contribuir en este trascendental movimiento de Sankirtan, conozco mis limitaciones, por supuesto estoy haciendo mi parte, pero sé bien que sólo por la misericordia sin causa de Sri Guru y vaisnavas podría ser una herramienta útil. Así que, humildemente, le ruego me otorgue sus bendiciones e instrucciones para la realización de este servicio.

Muchas gracias querido Guru Maharaja, espero algún día poder ser una digna discípula.

Siempre a sus órdenes, su sirviente

Hare Krsna! Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to your transcendental Bhaktivedanta Library!🙇

All glories to you who encourage us to develop our personal relationship with the books of our Divine Acarya. 🙇

By your mercy and that of several devotees, I am following you as much as I can on your visit to Spain and the Holy Dham. We are there in spirit, mind and heart. Thank you for gifting us with your inspiring association.

HpS-ASA - Thank you for yours. We hope we can all be good Sankirtan partners.

HpS-ASA - AgtSP.

Praying that your energy be favorable to your Sankirtana and wishing not to be a nuisance to you. I am writing to inform you that SS Yadunandana Swami has requested me to impart (online) the study of the Bhagavad Gita (Chapters 7 to 12) to students of Bhakti Sastri of the Bhaktivedanta Institute of Studies Spain.

Although I am happy to try to contribute to this transcendental Sankirtan movement, I know my limitations, of course I am doing my part, but I know well that only by the causeless mercy of Sri Guru and Vaisnavas could I be a useful tool. So, I humbly beg you to grant me your blessings and instructions for the performance of this service.

Thank you very much dear Guru Maharaja, I hope one day to be a worthy disciple.

Always at your service, your servant

HpS-ASA -- Our physical energy is apparently low and unstable.

Even if we climb up stairs or even bow down, we get vertigo and exhaustion.

Here in NVM with good association of RGCandra et al we are getting steady schedule and seeing our internal energy and character.

More later.

Very, very, very best wishes for teaching BG.
