Letters to the editor

> HPS - Thank you. Your health news is amazing. He was puncturing for any specific zones or organs?

She mentioned one of headakes were from liver and second type was suppose to be connected with back and was treating also kidney problem.

Needles were from feet till top of my head. I don't know which needles were for what, but it works :) I have seen improvements from first visits.

HpS - Super!  We do lot of self massage. That seems to help us a lot. Basically four principles etc and you can find a simple cure to most diseases. Of course, death in the simplest cure, no?

Just a short message with a request. Please could you allow us to join you in Delhi and take part of your various programs.

We are planning to come to Delhi on Dec 31  after BVB class in VIHE and stay till Jan 04. Accommodation in temple guest house has been arranged. Tungavidya mataji, Sudevi (a young Aussie devotee) and I are planning to be there if you allow us.

Is there any way how we can serve you there?.

Counting down each day.. few more to come and you will be here.

Thank you, Sir

looking forwar to hear from you

HpS - ASA --- Aaaa!    You are like a transcendentail lightening-bolt. You appear one place with drama and flash, and then before Maya can get you, you appear someplace else!

     I guess, so!   It seems fine to us. All being together in Delhi.

We feel like street cats that got on the pirate ship and don't know where we are going. It will be very nice to see everyone there. Radhika will also be there.  Probably can do a lot of work.  We are thinking that our next trip to India (God willing) we can go through Hawaii, Thailand, Australia.

Good idea, Ei, Mate?????

I hope this meets U in really good health!!!

Gurudeva UTSAHAN ONE always must find it in our intelligence right? But what happens if I do not have any intelligence? I am too entangled by the clutches of this material world. So first question.

ASA = As we heard we always CAN find it. Maybe there and in other sources also.

Can we forze ourselves to love Krsna??? For instance even if I do not want to go to the temple or do my service I must forze me to do it?

HpS - ASA -- Yes, Prabhupada gives the example of how the child does not want to go to school, but he is forced. Then he discovers it is fun. So many other kids to play with. Teachers make learning fun. Learning opens new worlds. He learns to read and that opens ...... !. .
But we have to force with proper understanding. The surgeon uses forces but he knows how to do it, otherwise there is a bad taste afterwards for everyone.

Is it licit to try to cheat Krsna.. well He can not be cheated.. Is it licit to try to forze myself to love Him?

HpS - Do you mean 'licit' or 'illicit'?  NoI-8, "Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura has commented as follows upon this verse: “One who has not yet developed interest in Kṛṣṇa consciousness should give up all material motives and train his mind by...".    If you don't have any interest in KC then why should you try to develope it??  Seems he means: No spontaneous interest, but we are interested by fear of death, poverty, lonliness etc. We have some intelligence. So we apply the process that the Acharya gives and that allows our Adau sraddha... to grow into real, natural taste. Yes, Vaidhi-bhakti means pushing certain rules on your mind and senses because at heart you know its worth trying and the result is good and you push some more.

Get up early and get your rounds done.

I really miss FMP. I have watched some of iur classes in Mexico. Really nice !!! Thank U for all iur mercy

Please Gurudeva I humbly asked for your blessings so I may encounter my utsahan again  on December 30th. Guruparampara KI JAYA

Trying to run after the mercy of SP's lotus feet

HpS - What about becoming a Mormon or Jehovah's Witness?   Get one partner and have a FMP on line!  Maybe expand it then.   Send a report every two weeks to the Blog of your performance. There is a LOT to do, quickly. Get your head clear. Ask Radha if you can marry Krsna also. Arjuna kidnapped Subhadra and brought her home to Hastinapur. He knew that Draupadi would not be very happy that Husband had brought a new good looking, younger, Wife home. So he told Subhadra to not dress in royal garments, but dress up like a little cowherd girl and then run to Draupadi's apartments and fall at her feet and say, "Oh, Mataji, please help me! This terrible Arjuna has kidnapped me and I don't know what to do!!!"

It worked. Draupadi picked her up and hugged her and said, "Oh, its alright. Actually he is a very nice person, and you are so beautiful and nice, how could he not be captured by you. We will be good friends and share him!"

So, ask Radha try the same trick with your sister, Radha, "Booh!  Hooo!   Hooo!", "Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!"

At the time of death we have to have such an intense relation with Krsna, so maybe he is not giving you a chance to get a second rate marriage to Fred, Bob or Joe, but pushing you into what you have to do anyway. What we all have to do.

Todas las Glorias  Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias  a Su Santidad Hanumatpresak Swami

Maharaja porfavor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias

Continumanete le oro al Señor Nrsimha para que lo protega. En Julio de este año tome Su refugio formal en su escala en México con recomendación de las autoridades.

Mi padre, Alfredo es taxista y mi madre, Marivel es profesora de niños en una Primaria, tengo tres hermanos menores, Alfredo, Cristian y Antonio todos son estudiantes, uno estudia Derecho y los demás el nivel medio superior. Ellos, mis hermanos han venido por lo menos una vez al templo, mis padres me visitan seguido. A mis hermanos les gusta la música, practican al menos un instrumento,  yo a veces mrdanga y cartalos, pero me gusta más pintar. Mis abuelos son comerciantes y campesinos, mis tías maestras de educación y enfermería. Mi familia grande es grande. 

Cambiando el tema y a  unos días de su visita me siento emocionada, feliz y nerviosa de poder acompañarlo en su vyasa puja y servirlo en su misión ¿cómo puedo hacerlo de una manera más específica?

A veces me siento decaída y digo: sería mejor estar a fuera y no hacer más servicio pero esta idea no da placer a mi alma y por lo contrario entre más lejos de Krshna menos sabor encuentro. 

Distribuyendo libros todo es mejor, di setenta libros hace unos días no podía creerlo pero no es nada quisiera dar todo mi tiempo a esa sola instrucción. Ahora nosé que vaya a pasar pero le pido sus bendiciones para poder seguir adelante. 

Su más insignificante sirviente: Bhaktin Diana

HpS - Los Iniciaciones - Diana, Vd, no?  Esta Blog no tiene forma, solamamente name.  Pero now esta Diana es Dadhi-sara Devi Dasi. Serviente de la hermana mayor de M. Yasoda. Claro Ella tiene tan mucho afecto, amor, para su "nephew" como su propio vida, y mas.

Sea un ejemplo para su familia. Va a ver gran reacciones.

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Here we are fighting our Kuruksetra. This blog is a wonderful Sadhu Sanga.

I just read the letter from Aja Govinda Prabhu, and realized the same is happening to me. He wrote:

"A few days ago it dawned on me that I was postponing my service to Krsna. I kept making promises to him that once I have a permanent assistant professorship job, I will start a preaching center or temple in whichever city or town I am in. But then I realized, that I cannot postpone it. My greatest fault is postponing the important tasks, paying useless attention to meaningless issues, mismanaging my priorities, and most importantly I lack time (and money) management. Time management, especially or particularly in my sadhana and money management in terms of not wasting money in material things and using money to serve Krsna. Instead of setting aside time for japa, kirtan, reading Prabhupada's books, engaging in the tasks which will liberate me, I focus on the temporary only. And the reason for this is my attachment to fulfillment of my desires. I am so attached egoistically to certain perceptions of me and others' perception of me, that I give all my mind's attention to only this, instead of internal development. "

This year was particularly intense, house building, applying for a job at the university, my job, started a relationship with a lady, uff. Although i feel good cause i'm about to move into a devotee's community where i will be able to attend morning program everyday and i got a job as a professor at med school, which will allow me to improve my sankirtan, my sadhana was seriously disturbed. As a result of that then the mind starts wondering, comparing your life with other devotees life, lack of enthusiasm for spiritual practice and an emptyness sensation.

We know nothing is worthy without 16r/4p, but we fail again and again.

I was meditating on this, "Why you are extremely busy all the time?"   The only conclusion we can make, is that is a psychologic issue, something rooted in our mind.

We are seeking for a lazy intelligent life. But for the time coming we make this vow, starting from january 1st:

Chant 12 rounds before breakfast (9 am), 4 rounds before lunch (1 pm) and 4 extra rounds (to repay my debt) before dinner 9 ( pm). As top priority agenda. And report every sunday to this blog.

Blessings please,

Your fallen, very fool and busy aspiring disciple,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - ASA --  BHISMA!!!    A powerful vow!   The gods tremble!!  But so nice also... and really so simple.    Just a matter of priority and then I sure you will see immediately that it is the best, best thing to do!!!     See you Sunday, January 7th.

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

These days we are doing the renovation of the flat we live in. Specifically, the temple/living room and the hall. For that we have finances. The house is 45 years old and it needs fixing. There was mold on the walls. Air was going through the windows, which is nice in the summer but not in the winter. The restoration will include the windows, walls, floor, electric wiring. For furniture we do not have finances right now.

HpS - ASA -- Very nice! If you die soon it will mean good income for you descendents when you sell it also!

Doing all that work and living and working in the same place takes a lot of energy and good organization, cleaning, etc.

Reading Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur's commentary on Bhagavad-gita.

ASA - Jaya!! Please share what you read... !

One point is that BG we have to interpret, only rightly so. For example, Krsna says to Arjuna”Fight”. This does not mean that I should go to war and kill people around. It means, do your duty, according to your nature, by following Krsna's plan (which is a good plan for everyone) and [hopefully] for His satisfaction.

I'm in the process of digesting our last exchange.

Next two weekends will spend with devotees doing bhajans.

Health challenge – for years dealing with lack of energy. Few months ago diagnosed with high lactose intolerance. Was doing Bioresonance therapy and it looks the intolerance is normalized. Still, have to take care of intake of milk products. Also, the sciatic pain and general back pain are there. When standing or walking 2 to 4 hours, the spine pain is so strong that I almost cannot think. Trying to do yoga asanas to mitigate, as it looks there are no other things that are there to rejuvenate the “dwindling machine”.

HpS - Do you have Iyengar Yoga studio where you live?

Catching up with your classes on e-sanga and Saturday StartMeetings.

Your servant Namacarya das

HpS - Thank you very, very much for you association.  We are planning on making a strong contribution to the Sannyasi Guru GBC Sanga in Mayapura the 10-13th of February. Is there a collection of instuctions (guess mostly letters) that Prabhupada gave on the topic, especially the instruction that the GBC position could be for life?
