Letters to the editor

Hare krishna querido Guru Maharaja

Por  favor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Me encuentro en  Ciudad del  Este, Paraguay viviendo en el templo de ISKCON hace tres meses, por sugerencia de Prabhu Deva Deva das, candidato a Sannyasa, quien también se encuentra aquí y ha  realizado un excelente programa de predica en la  Universidad Latinoamericana UNILA, entonces yo aquí estoy haciendo servicio de sankirtan y pujari, manteniendo sadhana diariamente muy  bien y apoyando el programa de predica . le pido entonces sus  bendiciones para permanecer un tiempo más aquí apoyando a los devotos en este  programa  .

Por favor reciba nuevamente mis más  humildes y respetuosas  reverencias

Siempre refugiado a sus pies de loto .

Vijaya govinda das

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Bhativedanta Swami Prabhupada

Radha Krsna, Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brnda, Ki Jay

Dandabat Pranam,

HpS - The same to you!

Guruji Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisanses unto Guruji's padamacharan that now in Manipur specially in Thoubal it is the time of harbesting we we could not arrange a meeting for the last two Sundays but shortly we will decide the tentative programme of Thoubal. As we did not joint the day to day Mandir activities for the last two years we could not decide all programme.

 x x x [Several of the leaders of the Thoubal Mandir are not initiated in ISKCON standard and not following four principles. What to do?]

Shortly, Prabhu Bonomaly, Haridasa Prabhu along with our initiated bhaktas will sit and chalk out the possible programme of Guruji. We want fully concentrate on group discussion, prabachan, do's and don'ts of an initiated bhaktas, how to increase the way of bhakti with Radha Krsna, reading materails, how to make sadhu sangha and lastly the process of Sadhak and Sidhok. Guruji please suggest me about the programme.

Yours fallen Servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - ASA --  We still have to sort out the exact tickets and dates of travel. I think we have them all.  Yes, if you can sit with Vanamali Das and Hari Das and fix a program that is to your liking that is fine with us. I don't know the details of the community in Thoubal. It sounds like it is not at all under ISKCON Manipur authority.  If that is the case then is there nice contact for instruction from Imphal?    Again, you can have regular programs in your home and report to us. We can even connect by Skype sometimes as possible.

The book we can use for the programs in Imphal and Thoubal is Nectar of Instruction. You have many copies available in Manipuri language?

Thank you so much for your association and efforts.

Awaiting your answer.

Respected Guru Maharaj

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

I am now in Sriganganagar, here in Internet cafe.  I read most of the stuff on monkeywarrior page, jaya.

I attended Silky's wedding ceremony, it went very well, as you had given your blessings in the beginning when I informed you that I am going for wedding. Children are happy.  Now, I go to Fazilka tomorrow to see big Hanumaan temple and to Ludhiana and then to Vrindavan from 24th Nov to 27th, and then, we fly back to Brisbane. While coming to India, on the way, I visited Kualalumpur temple and we are going to do the same thing on the way back.  I also met with our new god-brother Janardan Hari Das from New Govardhan while I was in Brisbane.

HpS - Jaya!   We remember Silky when she was three feet tall.    Our respects to everyone in your travels.   You say, "We", is A.Priya Devi Dasi et al with you?

While in Brisbane, we did some program in someone's house and 20 copies of Gita were distributed

Everything is going on Ok, 16 rounds done. Please bless us that we take full spiritual benefit of staying in holy dham Vrindavan and do not commit any offense there, thanks a lot.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - and are you going to take to Vanaprastha and then Sannyasa life?

Dear Maharaj Hanumat-presaka Swami.

Hare Krsna, my name is Anibal, we met each other in the congress at the outskirts of Santiago, Chile last year. I asked you some foolish questions that were of no relevance to the congress’ topic, but I remember many of your answers and instructions. I´m a student and an addict mrdanga player.

I’m also very passionate for music and my carrier [career ?], always trying ( naturally) to meditate while playing and studying. Meanwhile I keep my sadhana straight, all thoughts flow like a perfect wave. Nonetheless, it’s really easy for me to fall into temptations, so I’m working on it. Well, I hope to keep in touch with you Maharaj and helping you, prabhupada and my soul. My most humble obvidences [obeisances].

HpS - ASA - Awwwk!   We don't remember talking to you. You should have written sooner or something. We are like a half deaf, 70-year old donkey, but please use us as you can. Take the time to make nice offerings of food to Krsna and then take the Prasadam. Then it will be easier to avoid all other temptations to stupidity.

Nitay Goura Premanande!!! querido y siempre recordado Gurudev,

por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRILA PRABHUPADA!!

                                 disculpe la tardanza en escribirle, pero, la salud se me complicó y casi no podía trabajar, por lo que me llené de deudas,....considero que estos temas son irrelevantes para darle un buen reporte,  por eso no le escribí, ....mi correo electrónico anterior fue clausurado por Google, por los meses que dejé de usarlo,....ahora, le escribo de uno nuevo que acabo de abrir

HpS -ASA -- Aun cartas cortas, "Somos enfermos y no podemos comunicar mas", son buenos.

....gracias a Krishna, me he mantenido cantando los Santos nombres,....y asistiendo a los festivales del Templo, y pude realizar unos Sadhanas en asociación de s.s. GuruPrasada Swami, cuando estuvo en Mexico... ...dentro de las pruebas que me toca vivir, en ésta era oscura....surge una Luz explendida y maravillosa que es la Marathón de Srila Prabhupada!!! ....puedo darme cuenta que no hay felicidad más grande que asistir a la fiesta del Patita Pavana: Srila Prabhupada!!!....estoy haciendo algunas coordinaciones con p. Gadhara Gosai y el BBT ....para ir a la ciudad de Monterrey,,,..hoy me enteré que el libro de la Biografia de Prabhupada ha sido editada en tamaño pocket para la distribución en esta marathón

HpS - Muy bien para la gente nueve!!!  (Y antigua).

.....es uno de los libros mas queridos y desde hace años tenia el deseo tan grande de distribuirlo!!! y, por fin se va a hacer realidad.....doble Felicidad!!! en medio de la oscuridad....Muchas Gracias querido Gurudev, que misericordiosamente nos visitará en Diciembre, infinitas gracias por su ilimitada compasión!!!

                                                            Radhe, Radhe, Radhe....

su inútil y torpe sirvienta

m. Jambavati d.d. 

HpS - Aaaa!    El nombre en la carta es Bhaktin Alejandro!  Pero es La Jambavati Devi Dasi...   Tenemos su Monkey, su Piggy, su Vrnda devi, su Gaura-nitai otro lado del cuarto en nuestra altar. Adoran cada dia.
Si, estamos en Mexico 24 Decembre hasta la 30 Deciembre.
Que pasa con su Papa?
Si cantando Japa siempre algo comunicar y Sankirtan hay mas decir.  Pero si no puede escribir mas, esperamos hasta nos vemos.

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances and all glories to Srila Prabhupad. I am very sorry to hear your stomach has been feeling upset. I have made a prayer to Krsna for it to feel better :).

Maharaj, I have been going through a really tough phase with my spiritual counselor. Please pray for me that I survive and continue growing spiritually. I beg you to please pray for me to be able to persevere. __/\o_. I wish to grow spiritually and develop some tranquility, enough so that my sadhana and the engagements i have established for my mind may withstand. I wish to be a source of support for others some day. Please pray for me to hold on.

With tears. You're a father I can't even remember when I first met :'). Was too young.

HpS - ASA --- Thank you for your letter, Vrsabhanu nandini Devi Dasi.  We are confused. We initiated one nice lady as Vrsabahnu-nandini Devi Dasi from Argentina, but I met here when she was already a married girl, I think. Also, she doesn't have any formal Spiritual Counselor as far as I know. That is a system for Radhanatha Swami, no?    In any case it is nice to hear from you. You sincerity in spiritual life is refreshing to us.  We get up early and get our rounds done and then that leads to more Sadhana and then we have strength to handle the rough dealings with Karmis and Kanistha Adhikari devotees.  Bong!    Bang!   Bing...  and give them sane relations based on the happiness of ISKCON Goloka!
Please write to us more as you can!
