Letters to the editor

His Holiness Hanumat Presaka Swami!

Please, accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada and your Holiness! I hope this letter meets you in good health.   I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST  TO PLEASE NOT POST MY LETTER FOR EVERYONE TO READ, IF I MAY!

HpS - ASA - Mataji! As we explain in the intro to this Blog, we are all Brahmacaris here and cannot carry on conversations alone with ladies. We didn't read your letter beyond this point. Please send again with general question we can answer here or send name asked address of proper chaperone, man with whom we can communicate individually with your good self. Hare Krsna.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope this finds you in good health. I passed the disciple course last week, and I requested a recommendation letter from Svavasa prabhu but I still haven't heard back from him yet. He is in India right now, I think participating in the GBC meetings in Mayapur. Probably he is busy and hasn't had time to reply. I wanted to ask you if there's any possibility I could take initiation in the holy dhama? Unless plans change (considering recent events in Mayapur,) we are supposed to go to Mayapur from about 3/2-3/23, and then we go to Vrndavan from about 3/24-4/7.

I'm doing local sankirtan in LA, mostly griffith park observatory. I'm trying to go 7 days a week and also study for Bhakti shastri exam. We started a Bhakti yoga club at Pasadena City College. It starts on Tuesday. We're excited, the students are excited, it could be really great!

I had one philosophical question: I recall reading in Nectar of Devotion about how acaryas had different views about varnasrama duties. Is it correct that Rupa goswami did not consider them to be transcendental? Is Bhakti yoga strictly just 9 processes or can it take other forms as well? In Bhagavad Gita I remember Prabhupada saying somewhere that "Arjuna firing arrows is transcendental." Does karma yoga become transcendental if it's ordered by Krsna or guru? On some level isn't varnasrama duty in general prompted by the Supersoul?  Is Karma yoga distinct from Bhakti in terms of the activity itself, or consciousness, or both? If you could clarify here that would be very helpful, thank you!

Your humble servant,

Bhakta Eric

Dear Maharaj Hanumat Presaka Swami;

My Name is Harold Schofield (Your old friend Doctor from Lima) I know you since 1992 almost 24 years... and its impossible for me to forget Krsna and the connection arose with you...

Now I am 47 years old and the beautifull angel of dead is getting closer... All these years the Maha Mantra was in my mouth, I worship Deities, worship Tulsi, read Prabhupada books and recently also being completely vegetarian.... Knowing that you will come in June or July to Lima - Peru could you please let me have a short interview with you so maybe in 2017 you can initiate me? I know you allways prefer a lapse of time for proving my sincerity.

In this lapse of time I will start with my 16 rounds chanting, Eating allways Vegetarian with no eggs or garlic, Not Drinking coffe or tea, Not gambling and doing my best for improved my sexual life (my couple its not a devotee)

So I trust with all my heart in Krishna´s Mercy and stay confidence that all these years you where so close like my Guru....

With my Humble obeisances

Your servant

Harold

Puedo buscar Trabajo de mis áreas de Interés. Pero lo mas Importante Ud. Viene en Junio ​​y nos podemos deducir hermosos Programas para servirlo, en fin Mil Razones Para volver. Pero con el deseo de ENCONTRAR en el futuro si no es en Perú en Otro Lado Será La Oportunidad de Hacer Realidad mal Proyectos. El karma de Mi País es pesado. tratare de Seguir SUS Consejos.

Hare Krishna respected and beloved Gurudeva, pfamhr, TLGASP !! TLGAHpS !!
Gurudeva are concerned about their recent head pains, we are foolish servants who can not help him properly, but we are trying. Gurudeva talk to several senior devotees on this subject, all appreciate and glorify His service to Srila Prabhupada, and I was told that this pain could be due to a very strong and consistent effort, and / or that some disciples are not fulfilling their votes.
Gurudeva is a fact that without his guidance and Mayan partnership will cover us completely, we should do? how we can advance our service for your pleasure and that of Srila Prabhupada.
With my wife every day trying to get up early to FMP and then a commented reading of SB, that is super good because it is the basis on which we can do things with a good conscience, but still we are neophytes, to know what do in each circumstance, please instruct me how I can serve you better.
Humbly we asked the Lord Nityananda for you to reset soon, and for his boundless mercy, we can always count on its 108% Auspicious guide and association.
Hare Krishna Gurudeva, his insignificant servant, Abhiram das HpS-ASA - AgtSP. Please accept our humble obeisances. You can see from the DTC how our NIOS work is progressing. Certainly we will suffer reactions from accepting students, but in the contract it is clear that we are not claiming to be Diksa guru for those who are grossly breaking initiation vows. Also as we get older we should stop initiating on behalf of Srila Prabhupada asked parampara. Headaches are mostly due to taking on too much work. Get up early and get you rounds done. If you have doubts and need guidance there are three nice sources: God, Brahmans asked Vedic scriptures. Consider the advice of Prabhupada in his books, Consult the Holy Names and Six nice devotees. Then we know what to do. Thank you all. Thakur.

Hare Krishna respetado y querido Gurudeva, pfamhr, TLGASP!! TLGAHpS!!

Gurudeva estamos preocupados por sus dolores de cabeza recientes, somos tontos sirvientes que no podemos ayudarlo apropiadamente, pero, estamos intentando. Gurudeva hable con varios devotos mayores sobre este tema, todos aprecian y glorifican  Su servicio a Srila Prabhupada y me dijeron que esos dolores podrían ser debido a un esfuerzo muy fuerte y constante y/o que algunos discípulos no están cumpliendo  con sus votos.

Gurudeva es un hecho que sin su Guía y asociación maya nos va a cubrir completamente, que debemos hacer? de qué manera podemos avanzar en nuestro servicio para su placer y el de Srila Prabhupada.

Con mi esposa cada día tratamos de levantarnos más temprano para hacer FMP y luego una lectura comentada de SB, eso es súper bueno porque es la base sobre la cual podemos hacer las cosas con una buena conciencia, pero, aun somos neófitos, para saber qué hacer en cada circunstancia, por favor instrúyame cómo puedo servirlo mejor.

Humildemente le pedimos al Señor Nityananda para que usted se reponga pronto y, por su ilimitada misericordia, podamos contar siempre con su 108% Auspiciosa guía y asociación.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, su insignificante sirviente, Abhiram Thakur das.
