All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

Please accept my humble obeisances. 

This is Lakshmi, daughter of Raktak Das. I would like to thank you for your very nice message to our family, especially our mother. We all appreciate your support. 

I would like to ask you one question. Do you think that my father is in Goloka Dham with Lord Krishna?

HpS - Hare Krsna!    I don't know, but I do know that if he even taking birth in Sydney, Australia, in ISKCON, Krsna is there with him.

Sriman Raktaka Swami was such a fun person, so personal, how could Krsna and His associates not want to be with him and include him in Their play?
 

Isn't that more important, to go where is proper for us to go, but to be such fun people that Krsna and all His associates always want to join us and play with us?

Considering everything, he may take birth in Gokula in this world, and go on with all his work. When Bhakti Svarupa Damodara left his body, he was my Sannyasa Guru, and very close friend, I was very, very strongly feeling that, "Yes, it is very painful feeling separation from him, but that is only temporary, and as long as we are dedicated to whatever we learned from him about serving Krsna and we carry on his work then there is practically no separation. We really feel our Guru, father, older Godbrother with us taking a very, very practical interest in how the work is going".

How old are your sister and Bhimasena?

I hope we can all receive further spiritual guidance from you. Many thanks. Hare Krishna. 

Yours servant, 

Lakshmi Devi Dasi

A bit Urgent

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Dear Gurudeva
Please accept my obeisances
Thank you so much for your beautiful reply, it made our week, my parents and brothers send their respects to you. 

One of the reasons of this letter is that I couldn't see your Vyasa Puja date in the Vaisnava Calendar for this month, not for the beginning of January next year. I wrote to the coordinator and asked about it, this was his reply: 

Dear Dhanesvari dd.
PAMHO AGTSP
To add VP for your guru we need to known date, time and city where he born. If you have or can get this info we will add his VP asap. He is a very exalted SP disciple.
ys Narendra dasa

Can you please provide us with the details? We know you were Born: January 12, 1948 in Guam but not the time. 

HpS - My mother says that she got back to the hospital room after the delivery and heard the cars leaving from the Base Cinema, which happened about 10PM. So it must have been a little after 9PM. You can check to see if there were any earthquakes of meteor showers, or any other inauspicious events at that time. That would give you the exact time.

Also we have bought our tickets to India, we'll land in Kolkata January 18th at 11pm. We are thrilled with the idea of traveling with you, thank you so much for your kind invitation. Would be nice to know more details so we can arrange our internal tickets and if there is any extra visa requirements we need arrange beforehand.

HpS - Look at the Calendar in the Kapi-dhvava. It is pretty accurate. From the 18th we do this rapid travel in the Northeast: Assam, Tripura, Manipur. That would probably be too intense for anyone except Dhruva. Then you see we go to Delhi/Vraja. That would be nice to be there together. Then Pune, Navi-mumbai, Kolkata, Mayapur. Those dates need a little adjusting, but the rough idea is there. We will update those in the next ten days.

I was invited to dress Sri Sri Radha Govardhanadari. Nrisimha Kavaca Prabhu taught me the process of bathing the small deities himself, needless to say I was extremely happy to be back in the pujari after almost 3.5 years (last time I dressed their Lordships I was 6 months pregnant), from now on, I'll be dressing small Radha Govardhandari every Sunday.

ASA - Boro mandir pujari, Ki Jai!


HH Devamrita Swami (Dhruvananda' Gurudeva) was visiting the area, we were lucky to have his association and cook for him. We are really looking forward to having your association too and get to serve you in whatever way way we can. 
Thank you so much for caring for us and for your time.

Urgente Adorando Silas !!!

Hare Krishna ! 

Por Favor Acepte mis reverencias y que todas las Glorias Sean  a Srila Prabhupada !!

Todas las Glorias Sean Para ud Guru Maharaj

HpS - ASA -- 7% de las glorias a nosotros! (?)

Hare Krishna, Gurudev acepte mis reverencias eternamente , puse urgente en el titulo ya que no quiero estar ocupado en adorar las Silas sin su aprobacion y en respuesta a sus preguntas es que si, estoy ocupado como jefe de pujari aqui en Chile hace 7 meses (fijo todos los dias de lunes a lunes todos los turnos ) viviendo en el templo y mi esposa  Nitya Siddha tambien ,y antes de eso osea de enero que me dio Diksa a junio estuve ocupado todos los findes de semana completo . y ahora estoy ocupado todos los dias todos los turnos , aun no hemos podido lograr que los devotos se inspiren en querer mantener un servicio de adoracion directo a la deidad .. asique me estoy levantando todos los dias a mangalarati sin importar a que hora me acueste desp de tantos servicios , en particular esta semana que paso fue todo un desafio ya que empezo maraton  y llegaron muchos devotos de otras partes a participar y aun estava haciendo informes del bbt esperando a que la autoridad acepte devuelta el serivicio de bbt y busque alguien quien continue con eso para poder estar ocupado completamente en la adoracion y que cuando este adorando no golpeen la puerta del pujari por libros ... etc ....asique todos estos dias pasados me estuve acostando realmente muy tarde ya que terminaba el turno en la tarde y me sentava en la oficina de bbt a atender y resolver los pedidos hasta las 00:00hs ,  01:00hs  y aun asi por misericordia de los devotos, seguimos levantandonos a mangalarati sin importar situacion alguna asiq nos mantenemos ocupado en adorar las Saligram Silas , Giri Govardhana , Nrsmha Prahlad .y las principales Paramakaruna Sri Sri Gaura Nitay , Gracias a ud que me permitio nacer por segunda vez ,Las fotos que le mande es de algunos de los  dias que adoro . mis rondas no son antes de mangalarati pero terminando para poder mantenernos en servicio . y asi poder continuar ocupados en adorar a Sri Sri Guru y Gauranga !

Por otro lado cuando entre como unico pujari fue por que al anterior el GbC ( Srla Virabahu ) pidio que deberia salir inmediatamente por algunas situaciones que surgieron , y no habiendo nadie con mi esposa decidimos tomar el servicio y desafio hasta enero desde junio que empezamos (completo) junto con la peticion de expulsion del pujari se pidio comunicar a Su Santidad Jaya Pataka Maharaj para que quiten las Silas del Altar . ya que la adoracion inapropiada podria ser "la causa" por la cual los pujaris no se mantenian en el tiempo .,,,, eso fue en julio y recien hace unas semanas  el GBC pidio Fotos de las Silas ,... Las cual mande   . y su respuesta fue  que se les complicaba tomar una decision viendolas  tan bien atendidas.. Nuestra intencion es poder estar correctamente ocupados en ese servicio entendiendo que sin su aprobacion para poder continuar con ese serivcio en el hogar,,   no vale de nada estar haciendolo ,  solo por su misericordia y aprobacion nosotros podremos ejecutar servicio apropíadamente.

Agradecido por tanta misericordia para con esta alma 

Su Sirviente Garga-acarya Das

HpS - Hare Krsna,
Es un poco difícil para nosotros entender cosas en español. También, a menudo, la gente no escribe cosas con puntuación adecuada, por lo que las ideas no siempre son claras.
Como entendemos la última cabeza pujari fue eliminado y usted y su buena esposa se hizo cargo.
Tienes el trabajo de BBT también.
Por supuesto, queremos trabajar con el GBC y la administración de ISKCON.
Usted está preguntando acerca de comenzar a adorar a su propio Saligrama-silas, no sólo a los Silas en el altar del Templo.
Mi intuición es que es un poco temprano para que empieces a adorar a tu propio Silas, pero puedes tomarlos, incluirlos con la adoración del Templo de Silas y si no hay ningún problema, entonces dentro del próximo año podrías tomarlos Como su familia Silas. Si no, entonces usted podría estar buscando un buen hogar para ellos. Es una responsabilidad tan grande como tener hijos.
Creo que es bueno seguir adelante de esa manera y luego después de un año hacer el compromiso de toda la vida.

O.K.?

Respected Vaisnavas
This is my last message on this topic. 

I feel satisfied that she said that the sexual implication of the word "aprovecharse" was a speculation and that never anything inappropriate happened in any way, shape or form. This was my main concern.

I will also publish these conversations for my own protection.

I may agree or disagree on few things said, but it doesn't matter to me much. Even old age it's a good time to learn lessons about trusting.

If someone believes that it's necessary to use this story can do it but without my participation.

Broken Record

Hare Krsna Maharaj, Pamho, AgtSP
You are the one person, because of which, are hanging on Hare Krsna movement.  Hence your opinion matters to us most.

HpS - Not, to joke, you are a very, very central example for us of determination. You face such challenges, but you don't give up.

We wrote broken record as subject, as this has been in our mind for many years>>

 We hear from many people that Srila Prabhupada's sister was married to strange man. She was elevated devotee, but still she decided to cook meat for him. can you please give your comments on that ?  -- we are asking you because we keep hearing from you save yourself first.. this action of her seems to be contrary to that.

similarly, when its other way around, for man , is has been adviced to us by three counsellors to follow illicit sex.  one of them even say he follows it, he is second intiated devotee and  his wife not interesed in ultimate goal of life. we have heard in one public/recorded seminar  of chowpatty, illicit sex is unfavorable but not having it mainer times disastorous for family life.

one more female authority (a big shot) illicit sex
" My understanding of the "bottom line" of illicit sex in grhastha life is: only with husband/wife without chemical or mechanical means to avoid pregnancy normal sexual relations (right organ with the right object, as the Buddhists say) with an attitude of offering to Krsna one's body, one's emotional relationship with the spouse and any children that result accepting physical and emotional pleasure as the Lord's mercy to be a brahmacari-grhastha one would also limit sex to the days in the month when the woman is fertile"

we have some how convinced now, that there are some or may be many, first/ second intiated devotees of almost all  intiating gurus they indulge in illicit sex (not for procreation),  it happens even when both husband and wife are intiated....


seeing both cases one of no meat eating and no illicit sex. whats your opinion on family life and four rules.. esp when once you said four rules are not themselves spiritual.


HpS - AGTSP!   This is bizaare. Just five minutes ago I got a letter from a devotee in Germany who has been under weight for over a year. His doctor told him that he may die if he continues vegetarian diet. He asked me about eating some meat to put on weight:

We wrote: [10:48:26 AM] hp swami: It is a difficult question. In one Purport Prabhupada says that if the cows are being given enough grains, but at not producing milk and people are starving, then it is lamentable, but you CAN kill the cows to feed starving people.
[10:48:45 AM] hp swami: He doesn't say that you MUST kill the cows.
[10:51:19 AM] hp swami: So, one aspect is that you can make the choice, and tell your doctor, that I have decided that I will not kill a cow (pig, sheep (chicken(fish))) so that I can live. I would rather let my life go than kill them. Of course, I have written what I understand is the hierarchy above of how much suffering is being inflicted: child>cow> sheep/pig> chicken> fish> plants
[10:52:49 AM] hp swami: As far as I know there is just as much protein in beans, milk; and oils in those sources. It may be more expensive because there is subsidy to the meat industry, but it is there. Are you getting lots of cheese and strong beans every day?
[10:53:49 AM] hp swami: Meat is less digestible as far as I know also.

We have never heard Prabhupada say that Pisima cooked chicken or goat for her husband. Sometimes a Muslim cook is hired or the whole process goes on outside the house.

In over 10,000 pages of written communication from Prabhupada in his most intimate condition, we have read Prabhupada repeatedly say that all of his initiated disciples must chant 16-nice rounds daily and follow the four principles strictly. It does not mean that he won't try to be Vartmana pradarsika guru for you, get you back, or, for the first time, onto the path, but he is not your Diksa-guru until you are followning. We "can hardly expect him to come back for us if we don't sincerely follow his orders given at the time of iniation". Orders that he knows we can follow eventually and Krsna will help.

These are quotes.

In the beginning Marijuana may help you realize the mental platform above the gross physical platform, but later it is poison. In the beginning, giving unatural sex, receiving, may be a show of love, like giving excess candy to children who demand it, and then suffer diabetes attack.

Even as an institution, there is direct GBC statement with, as far as I know, not one dissenting vote, that anything other than sex between married couple during wife's time of conception, after chanting. 50-rounds is conducted in the mode of ignorance and there will stupid results, in larger or lesser degree.

If you engage a woman or let her engage in illicit sex, just to relieve tension in the body, pleasure, then she will be FORCED to experience just the same amount of pain, and you will her here screaming, moaning in just as much PAIN as there was PLEASURE.

This world is duality.

..and she will NOT be able to pull her mind away from the pain. The Bhagavatam says that one who engages women in illicit sex is a torturer of women.

]]-But it will save the marriage.

That is not a "marriage". It is an agreement between a prostitute and her client. [[Let us call it a cortesan and her lover.]]

]]-But it will save the children.

From what? If the wife leaves and gets a long-term 'contract' with a "lover", "marriage", then in the end the children will know, KNOW, K N O W, the message my father and mother gave me. My father upheld the standard and he's happy. My Mom was a little bit too weak, so she divorced, found a like minded Dude. They fornicate 3.2 times/week (USA standard 1965), fight, but keep it to that, and now at 65 my mom smokes, drinks a little, shares the house with my father and watches television.

That is how we understand the situation.

100% it is your sincerity and your relation with Krsna. If that is there then maybe you have to break 25,000 regulative principles (for Brahmanas) and become a bacteria and copulate with your entire body, but Krsna will be closer to you, the amoeba, than an insincere Brahmana (like us).

O.K????   Thank you so much for your news of so called Senior devotees who are  . . .
