Letters to the editor

Haré Krishna querido Gurudeva, AgtSP ,pamho!

Muchas gracias por su respuesta , tiene mucha razón, ya no puedo volver atrás, y dar vueltas. Pienso pronto me nos vamos a casar.

HPS - There is another letter answered today about marriage.

Y con respecto a mi carrera de arquitecta continuaré más despacio pero bien. Es un grán cambio grihasta asram pero estamos creciendo juntos. Hijos aún no :).

ASA - Krsna tiene su plan. Draupadi no era planificando ser casado con cinco hombres!   Posible 6-hijos, posible zero, pero siempre Mama de Krsna!

Que tenga un buen mes de kartika .Gracias otra vez GM ,todas las glorias seas a Srila Prabhupada ,le enviaré por skyoe el link con el vídeo de la instalación de Sri Natavara Nitay . HK ,reverencias a sus pies

HpS - Otro carta de Vds.  Nos vamanos.

Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada y todas las glorias a usted!!!

Gracias por responder mi carta. 

Querido maharaja sepa disculparme pero no eh podido comprender perfectamente su carta anterior.

HPS - ASA --- TlgaSP.   pfanrh.  No es sorpresa, somos tontos.

Si comprendo que para casarse usted esta diciendo que tenga segunda iniciacion. Pero las dudas que me quedaron son: si esta de acuerdo con mi asocion?

HpS - Esa es una frase, idea, subtil. No hablamos espanyo subtil!  Desculpa....

...y que piensa de realizar la maraton en mexico ?

ASA - ""And I have to realize the Maraton en Mexico."" Aaaagh!   We don't understand what this has to do with your marriage???

Tambien de mi formacion en mexico bajo el cuidado de Aravinda prabhu,Durante unos meses . 

Muchas gracias 

Su eterna sierva María Bernarda.

HpS -  Tenemos cerebrio de un Burro Norte Americano de 68, casi 70 anyos.  Ooof.  Hemos perdido dos dientes, convertiendo ciego, mudo, cojo (cripple), Y, claro, la memoria corta desapareciendo.
[Demasiado
boraccho, todo, universidad Hippy en la joventud.]
Entonces,

no podemos recordar nuestra carta anterior, y no tenemos esfuerza buscar y relacionar bien con esta carta, y es deficil en esta media de Blog 'discuss' these things...

pero... tenemos bastante experiencia valioso, mejor inteligencia (buddhi) que nunca, entonces somos valioso para Vds, no?   Como utilizar esta burro viejo-mitad sabio??

CONSEJOS
Matrimonio Vaisnavio - La idea es pasar la purificacion de ser monja (Ave Maria) hasta segunda iniciacion, entonces puede descriminar su varna y ashrama mas claro (soy ksatrini, tengo ser casado con Super-Hombre).

Casi (99.3%) guarantizado fracaso es casarse con hombre mas joven que Vd.

Mas detalles general, pero esos son dos importantes.

Tercero y fin de esta cartita ....  no es matrimonio entre dos personas, es matrimonio entre dos familias.
Tiene que ser una buena honda entre la familia material y espiritual de los de el y las de suya (me gusta su mama y hermana, su guru de sankirtana le gusta mi guru de sankirtan).

O.K?

Puede imprimir esta carta y distribuir a todo la yatra para todo su vida no?
 

Una dia va a ser una devota de 67-anyos.
Una abuelita.

.16-buenas rondas y 4-principios estricas y puede adjustar todo.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

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

I pray that your health gets better. Your last DTC made me sad but puts into perspective the vehicle that this body is. 

I did get the email about themes and content. Ananda Vrindavan mataji said she’d schedule you for the Sunday talk at Potomac, so I guess Vraj Vihari prabhu would best answer in regards to the themes.

Chandana and I are working to put an event at Virginia commonwealth university. we sent you an email to your nios account regarding that. 

In other news, I also asked Manoram Krishna das to perform the diksha yagya and he said yes and also told me of what I should bring and do to prepare. I was wondering if there is anything you expect that I should do in preparation as well? Please let me know and I will do my best to make it happen!

HpS - Nothing special.

I am still pondering what I should do for my kartik vrat. What would you recommend?

I'm jumping with excitement until your arrival. Thank you for your sincerity and mercy Maharaj. 

Your blundering servant ,

Sarita 

*the picture attached was Chant 4Change last week, an inter-faith festival where hundreds of people danced and sang the Hare Krishna mantra. It was a cool event. It rained all day, and when Radhanath Swami came up, the rain stopped and the sky had pink hues. 

HpS - Jaya!      There is another letter and we have talked a lot since this one. We will go to the other one.

Please accept my humble obeisances All glories to his beloved spiritual master Srila Prabhupada.

I am ashamed to write you dear Gurudeva. wanted to tell him that I could not leave  Nama aparadha, only pray for your mercy, becaouse if you dont give me your merci ¿as I can sing in Nama bahasa?, but the time just out of my hands and I can not sing purely.  I'm trying be nista, but my anharta nivriti this confused me, now i cant see the goal of my spiritual live, only you are my salvation,

Please no other hope in my life I beg you tell me ¿what is the medicine for this material disease that is choking me? I'm feeling alone and do not want more refuge, only I trust you, I can not find true peace in the material world but I cant get out my consciousness there.

I'm going crazy Gurudeva, I can not be devote and do not want to chew bones,¿ how I can accept all his blessings in my life?, I am be unable to spread this Krsna consciousness,and I feel great anxiety to think that I not have any qualifications to serve in his mission to satisfy his spiritual master alone I feel like a burden to you, I could not follow his Instruction to distribute 500 big books to a famous library, how do I do?. 

but one thing I am sure is that you are the reazon why I'm still alive.

your donky V. Kumara Dasa

HpS - Hare Krsna.   Thank you for your letter. Be a good devotee and chant Hare Krsna. That is about all we can say. There is no specific medicine for general symptoms. Are you chanting 16-rounds a day?

hare krsna maharaj,
PAMHO, AGTSP,
thank you very much for picking up our call  two weeks back while we were in bus. we were able to hear you a little bit, but even that  was satiating to us ?

can you answer this question again, why does mind wants to follow rules and get agitated when it is not able to follow them ? why some times it does not want to follow rules ?

HpS - Hare Krsna!   I don't exactly understand.   It sounds like a very specific question, no?  Of course the basic answer is in NOI, Text One: The mind likes to be attached to certain plans, "avirodha priti", and when this is blocked, then "yukta virodha krodha", anger results. That is just the way the mind is, like the sky is blue and grass is green.

So: http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/2/6/34

Is some enlightement?  Some times it does not like to follow them: NOI 7 - It is in jauniced state, doesn't like sugar.

you also said.. just chant be happy ? how can be  happy by just chanting until unless he has purified himself or chanting offenselessly.

HpS - Prabhupada says that. Chant Hare Krsna and be happy, become happy. Jesus Christ said pray to God and become happy. Prabhupada explains that this is like telling someone who is suffering from bad disease, coughing up blood, go to the hospital, you will be cured.

It is true but you have to approach the Reception in the Hospital. Fill out the forms, talk with a doctor, have tests....   But the basic principle is go to the hospital. So in the begining our chanting makes us pious, "srnvatam sva katha Krsna, punya sravana...", material distress dimishes, things start to become auspicius...   prema, happy in being able to offer something really tangible to Krsna's efforts.

trying to hang on
harsh

HpS - http://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/6/40.  You have been hanging on for so long that there can be no doubt about good results.  Everyone is different!   We hope to see some tangible results soon.

Can you contact Acharya ratna Das, Temple President in Kolkata and tell him we will be in India from 1 January t to 15th February and of course we want to work with him and the Kolkatta yatra.  We tried Texting, Calling and writing to him. We think now we will be in Kolkatta from 10th January to 17th. Does he have any suggestions about how we can help them??

Hare Krisna, dear Gurudeva. Please, accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you're fine in all aspects. We are fine by Krisna's Mery in our new stage as parents.

I had a very dificult time by administrative issues and bad relationships with some devotees for that. Whe somebody fall down in offenses his spiritual life falls down with him. But step by step I'm going up, I'm stronger before and I'm giving value that it give it. I'm selecting better my friedships in Krisna's conciousness and I'm protecting to open my mind needlesly. You told my onetime ago I had to get association with devotees with similar nature, and I'm learning to do it, taking skelter in senior devotees as Yadunandana Swami.

We're in Madrid's Temple administration. The proyect is going on weel, growing with new devotees, new initiations. We don't stop. Very intensive but happy. We remoleled the ashram in July. It looks new.

Manu is 5 moths old, but he is very big, entusiastic.

Well. When do you come to Spain again? Do you need something to come? If you need something, please tell me if you think I can help you.

Thank you for all, for your gretting in my birthday last Oct 3th. Please forgive my offenses.

You humble and ethernal servant, Dandava Das.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!  It has been so long since we heard from you!   Yes, learning how to deal with politics in ISKCON is essential.  We have to deal with incredible politics if we want to participate in the different parties. Balarama leads one group of cowherd boys and they have competitions with Krsna's followers, but they only do it to increase the understanding of how to serve Krsna.

Prabhupada used to push Tama-krsna to fight with him on philosophical points. Then when he fought with Karmis it was simple.

We wanted to visit Spain on our trip to or from India: Start of Januar or middle of February, but the cost kept coming back as high, high, high.

We got our ticket round-trip to India from Houston for only $785. That is about $200 less than the cheapest that could be expected. No matter what happens we will set some priorityu and come at come time on a separate trip from USA.  Krsna will make it clear what he wants.

Sananda Devi Dasi is doing a lot of work on this Psychology and the Sacred Sankirtan.

Real nice baby! ..... !...
