Letters to the editor

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

Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay, Radha Krsna Ki Jay

Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisanses unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s padamacharan that after getting Gurujis reply (amrtavani)  all my darkness gone away as darkness vanish after sonlight comesup. Actually I am not so expert for handling computer or mobile not only that my mobile handset is also not upto the standard facilities of 4-G.  What types of photos Guruji wants from us? Please mention me.

HpS - Fotos of devotees in the Yatra. Your close associates. Your altar!!

Last time also I had requested Guruji to purchase a small digital camera for me but due to shortage of time Guruji could not collect. This time please arrang to bring one camera, it will helpful for us in future. I will hand over the value in Indian currency when Guruji arrive. I have no previous experience of such things so what Guruji feel satisfy, it will be best me us.

HpS - Please remind us in December. Now it is 3 October. Almost three months before we leave for India. 

In my presious letter, I had mentioned for going Mandir, yes that is of Thoubal. We had several times discussed with Bonomali Prabha, Sadhubhusan Das and One Medical Doctor who is the friend of Dr. Nandalal, initiated bhakta  of Thoubal who is now running Thoubal Mandir and Partha Sarthi Das also in their capacity but could not find out any solution. They use the name of ISKCON frequently but did not follow not a singly system of ISKCON. Will we join with them and participate mandir activities such as arati, bhagavatam path, prasadam etc. so as to bring them in the ways of ISKCON padhaties? Last time when Guruji was in our Mandir, Sanaton Das explain them and take the openion of the bhaktas and take decision to follow the system of ISKCON slowly, slowly.

 Last Saturday, we eight members went to Imphal ISKCON and participated in the Tirtha Swami Maharaja’s 88^th Vyas Guru Pujah celebration. In such previous ISKCON functions in Imphal or Toubul the new ISKCON Centre where Sripad   Maharaja’s birth place and the birth place of Bonomali Prabhu, Sadhubhusan Das, Ekanath Das, none of them come up and participate such activiries.  On the 11^th October, 2016  also we some bhaktas and matajis will try to participate Sripad Maharaja’s Tirobhav in Imphal ISKCON.

HpS - I have similar problems with my Sanga, Godbrothers. I am frustrated sometimes that we don't get more help for the Mnistry of Education. Sometimes it is just that people have many other things to do which from there point of view are just as important services as what we are trying to do. So we chant HK/HR very strongly and laugh and smile.  Krsna knows what is happening. We keep trying to invite people to our point of view, keep looking for new ways to invite them, enthusiastic, but depend on Krsna for the result.

I will follow all suggestios of Haridas Prabhus about Guruji’s Thoubal programe. So I am also waiting Haridasa’s Prabhu’s India return and his letter or telephonic conversation.

May Radharani and Krsna give places in their padamcharan.

HpS - Thank you.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - As always, thank you for your letters!   People in Bombay, Kolkatta, are starting to make their final decisions about our Calendar in India. I think we can fix it soon.

Dear Guru Maharaja, PAMHO AGTSP

In last DTC

you wrote :

“even the Gopis are not satisfied with the association of the Gopis.”

~~~

Please can you tell more about this?     What do you mean?

Is this said in connection that sometimes we are not satisfied with our sanga, ISKCON? If yes, would it be appropriate to project the dealings in spiritual world to our relationship with fellow (or less fellow devotees) around us?

What pastime(s) show gopis not being satisfied with other gopis?

I am aware that there are two wings of the gopis and that they have kind of different approach in Krsna seva. And that sometimes there are apparent disagreement between them.

Thank you!

ASA - Jaya!   We were thinking that that was a provocative statement.    We were thinking in terms of our current association, ISKCON New York, London etc association, and also our own personal situation.  We would like to associate with people like Shony Shamdasani and other psychologists, mystical dudes etc. That is our nature. You may like to associate with sports people. Of course we want Krsna conscious Karma yoga.

Devotee psychologists, devotee sportsmen. Then we think, with better association I would be happy. If I had Prabhupada's association, but even if we had the highest association, the Gopis, we would not be satisfied. We would always want more, so we should not think that this hankering for better friends is something that will go away.

There are other persepctive on it, but that is one that I was thinking of. I want closer Sankirtan partners, but even if I have them I still will want more, so don't become frustrated because we want better association and give up.

Hare Krisna mi querido Guru Deva  Hanumatpresaka Maharaja TLGASP.

Espero que se encuentre bien, por aqui viendo si me voy a un proyecto rural o abrir un Templo.

Intentando ser su sirviente Jagamohan Das.

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna, Jagamohan Das.  Hace mucho tiempo no oir de Vd, y ya 4-cartas....  cortas.   Si es algo importante, puede escribir "URGENTE" en el Titulo.
Hay muchas opciones en servir a Krsna. La Madre Yasoda era compartiendo su leche con Krsna y la leche en el horno era saliendo.  Dos servicios muy bueno. En el significado Prabhupada dijo que el devoto siempre esta confrontado con estas opciones en su vida espiritual, pero, si es sincero Krsna en la corazon dictara cual es el mejor.

Entonces hay opciones pero cantar HK/HR es el primero opcion. Especificamente 1728 buen mahamantras cada dia.
Estas oyendo los nombres?  Es como un bebe gritando para la Mama?

Hare krishna gurmaharaja! Por favor acepte mia respetuosas reverencias! 

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! Todas las glorias a usted!

El dia 16 de septiembre nacio nuestra segunda hija Priti Mayi Radha, ella esta muy bien de salud y adaptandose a la familia.

HpS - Muy bien.  Todos respectos a la Mama!!!!

Los planes por el momento son quedarnos en españa. Tenemos residencia legal hasta el 2018 y posibilidades de realizar la nacionalidad.

Su sirviente: gadadhara gosai das & familia

Hare krishna!!!

HpS - Super!   Que haces?  Tiene trabajo como arquitecto??

Hare krsna Guru Maharaja acepte mis reverencias.

Pasamos janmastami con 100 personas aproximadamente , teatro, kirtan y prasadam.

HpS - Noticia de Rama-giri-dhari Das en Navi-mumbai, India, Janmastami era 3-dias y 40,000 personas!!!!!!

Acabamos de tener el festival con Madhava prabhu tuvimos devotos de muchos paises mas de 30 devotos , chile, colombia ,ecuador, y del ciudades de peru. Todo error queda sin valor despues de tener buena asociacion y kirtan.

Gurudev estuvo por cusco m. Ojasvini impulsando un programa de harinam , este programa esta siendo auspiciado por un devoto sudafricano Bali prabhu. Y consiste en salir 3 horas diarias a harinama con 6 devotos y por un tiempo de 6 meses, cumplido esto el devoto Bali prabhu nos paga los pasajes y todo pagado a india , yo personalmente planeaba ircon usted Gurudev pero si hay la oportunidad de hacer este servicio seria bueno hacerlo. Usted que me recomienda Gurudev?

Su eterno servidor Rohini Kumar Das

HpS - Hari Nama!   Banderas?   Volantes??   Super.   Va a India con nostros????   Nuestra calendario en www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.htm. 

Esperamos que la programa pasa muy bien in Cusco y su vida personal tambien. NGD habla mucho de su comida en Lima y comentando tiene que abrir un restaurante en EEUU?  Ha!   Ha...  Cusco es accesso a TODO EL MUNDO.   Necesita un curso de cocina para turistas, donde puede ir al templo o cualquiere sitio un noche, aprender cosinar unos platos vegitarianos peruanos, encontrar a nuevo amigos, la filosofia, comer la ofrenda, obtener un DVD con mas instrucciones etc. Va a volver a Sweden etc. y mostrar a sus amigos!

Hare Krsna, dear Gurudeva, Pamho. AGTSP!

Well, I've been researching a little about Colleges. One thing is that Peruvian's would give you a good perspective of what's going on in Perú, latin america, etc. I talked to our friend Haribhudi and gave me a good perspective of La Cantuta since he's been working there for a while. La Cantuta always is involved is nasty politics, but postgraduate school is something different. They work in some other campus in La Molina (very nice district of Lima. Very close to Rupanuga´s house, our ayurvedic friend) and there it is a different story. They have the best teachers on the Education field in Perú, etc. Still La Cantuta is the dean of Education Universities and have very nice international conections, etc. Besides, the feeds [fees] are convenient. Only like $1,500 for the hole [whole] thing, 3 semesters. To [On] the other hand my Catholic University is 4 semesters and $8,000 and requires to work very close to the catholic church, wich I don't mine but is a little aukward. But still I think I would need a grant o some kind of help. I only have a little pension to survive and school requires lot of means like books, researching for my thesis, transportation, etc.

I think I can do a nice thesis about some topic that we can use for ISKCON Educational purposes and offer it to Srila Prabhupada. I would send to you, Gurumaharaj, and everyone, my suggestions. Maybe I can sell it to some of your rich friends and get a grant.

NIMSAR needs people with nice qualifications to foster and help out in what Srila Prabhupada describes in the Preface of SB, and give some contribution for the world.  

"We must know the present need of human society. And what is that need?. Human society is no longer bounded by geographical limits to particular countries or communities. Human society is broader than in the Middle Ages, and the world tendency is toward one state or one human society. The ideals of spiritual communism, according toŚrīmad-Bhāgavatam, are based more or less on the oneness of the entire human society, nay, of the entire energy of living beings. The need is felt by great thinkers to make this a successful ideology. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam will fill this need in human society."

So, NIMSAR, Candra mukhi dd, Yugala kisore dd, Abhinanda das, Isvari dd. etc and myself can do something about it. We need to get qualified to help Srila Prabhupada's mission in this broad perspective. 

Going back to school for me now is crucial. You mention several times NIMSAR and I can see that you rely in our work. So that's is a huge responsability and I want to be qualified to not let you down and do my best and more in cooperation with autorities and everyone.

OK?

HpS - Yes, Hare Krsna. It is so useful for us to all hear about this higher education investigation, and yes, Yadu Swami is publishing his Master Thesis: Sannyasa in ISKCON. I feel that education in ISKCON is essential to our movement at this point. We will put some more notes in the DTC this evening.

Now, Goura gadhadara dasi (who is a kind of informatic cripple [limited cybertech], but we all love her) tells me to inform you that she's going to Cuzco for 3 months in orden to train pujaris and set the standar for the new temple they're building. She's studying some english. She's planning to go to India by January and stay for a while. She's been trying very hard to be useful here but sadly the people here don't appreciate her great service and qualification. Chosica could be much more that actually is with her help. Head pujari from Mayapur Institute!  Anyway, maybe she's meant for something else. Maybe India is the best for her.

HpS - Please offer our respects to her and tell her to send more news as she can. Her Sankirtan is very inspiring. We will be in India in January also.

Than you very much for listen to me.

your servant LAD

Coming soon...hot topics...politics and education in Perú.

HpS - O.K.  We will read other "Little Urgent" letter and write the DTC.  It is 8.38PM and there are loud conversations in the house, so it is hard to think, but your message is loud and clear and very nice.
