Letters to the editor

Gurudeva hablé con sananda dd y ella me comunico que usted llega a madrid el dia 30/3 y va para nueva vrajamandala el dia 4/4 y alli se queda hasta el dia 8/4 que viaja a barcelona, ese es el itinerario si no me equivoco. Le digo, si he seguido todos los principios durante mas de un año, hago mangala artik en casa 4 veces por semana dado que aqui el templo abren solo dos domingos al mes aprox,( ahora abren mas dias), no pedi carta de recomendacion porque como le comente en la anterior carta recien empiezo el bhakti sastri con mi hermanita candra muki dd y no se si seria capaz de dar clase aun. Mi deseo por tomar segunda es muy grande pero para ser sincera conmigo misma necesito aprender muchoooooo mas gurudeva HpS - Thank you. Second invitation is a formality. It can be very nice, but the essence is being a lady our gentlemen for Krsna. You seem to already be doing that. O key, go ahead with the Bhakti Sastri studies. That is a formally requirement for second initiation and we can discuss everything in a few days in Spain! Hare Krsna!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

PAMHO

I have seen photos from U in Mayapur, I felt so happy to see U Gurudeva... Nonetheless we miss U a LOT :(

We had a very nice Nityananda Trayodasi Festival, lots of preparations more than 108¡¡¡ New outfits for Gaura Nitai ¡¡¡ The authorities change the altar again, I feel really dissapointed, I feel that they do not listen to me... plus JBS are going to move to another place, I want to move with GN as well wilson is sooooooooo dark... umm I will tell them about this... I would like to feel comfortable working with them... sorry Gurudeva to tell U this, but even if I clean and clean is always dirty and seems to be so much politics and burocracy, well the good thing is that I had the opportunity to cook the sweets for the party. I am learning a little bit...

FMP is still alive... Jahnava dd, SDD BVD, Dhanya lalita, are regular asistants, JPR, B Jorge, JGD sometimes join.... we continue with your same program we chant Guruvastakam, Then we are reading NOI, then  we chant rounds, I share pictures... we try to continue the sanga. Most of them told me that this is helping them, and me also

I am doing yoga, psychoterapy , 4P ok, 16 rounds ok , reading ¡ And new seva with Syama Bihari, He is too flirtatious. I spend much time dressing Him, but I like it.

Hope to see U soon, maybe on SM

Thank U all so much

Trying to be your disciple 

Candramukhi dd

HpS - ASA Hare Krsna. 2.21a.m. In Mayapura. Lots of politics here also. Your our students beaten unconscious by ISKCON terrorists! Try to serve ISKCON as best you can, just like we try to serve our country. Have your own circle of intimate associates in ISKCON and finally keep your own intimate relationship with Krsna. We complain about the authorities. They have complaints about us. That's normal but always in terms of NOI 4-6, no? We have 6-rounds done. We put more news on the DTC in a moment. Spiritual life in ISKCON is always a revolution. Okay, next letter! Vamanos.

Hare krsna querido gurudeva, le escribo porque no entendi su respuesta a la segunda iniciacion que me dijo y esta proxima su llegada a españa. Queria saber mas que nada para hacer los arreglos con mi familia que tambien quieren ir a verle .Perdone por las molestias Su burra sirvienta mani sati sita dd HpSwami - Hare Krsna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Your letter is not a molestation. Can you communicate with Jayanta das to get the details of our calendar and then post it here? Can you also ask him where is the best place to have initiations. You can make your suggestions to him also. You have been following Brahman life for one year? How long? You can lead the full morning program? You have letter of recommendation from Temple president? A full morning program? Up by Brahma muhurta, mangala arati? Bhakti Sastri?

NitayGouraPremanande!! amado y siempre recordado Gurudev,

por favor acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencia,

 todas las glorias a Patita Pavana Srila Prabhupada!!!

                                                                   gracias a la misericordia de mis hermanas espirituales en Sud America tengo la suerte de saber donde está, que está haciendo y cómo está......recibi muchas hermosas fotos de su Sri VyasaPuja y tambien de su estadia en Argentina, gracias a la Tecnologia pareciera que junto a mis hermanas Espirituales estoy junto a Ud. ...durante la Maratón de Srila Prabhupada fue poca mi participación y grande el tiempo en el tratamiento de la salud, pero, por su infinita compasión pude distribuir 765 libros y 2 Colecciones del libro de Krishna, en los recorridos de las diferentes ciudades siempre llevo en mi corazón sus palabras: "mientras estes haciendo Servicio yo estoy contigo".....Salir a Sankirtan es Adorarlo  a sus divinos pies de Loto, Recitando siempre el Pranati Mantra de Srila Prabhupada: "Nuestra respetuosas reverencias a ti, oh Maestro Espiritual sirviente de Srila Sarasvati Thakur que bondadosamente está predicando el mensaje del Señor Caintanya y liberando a los paises occidentales los cuales estan llenos de Impersonalismo y Nihilismo"...me lleno de emoción y entusiasmo, por las calles sonriendo a la gente puedo sentir su compañia querido Gurudev y soy feliz!! ..... a veces estoy dentro de un Omnibus dirijiendome a los pasajeros y presentando los libros pero, soy muy sentimental a veces no puedo terminar de hablar porque me ganan las lagrimas, .... soy muy torpe!!! .vuelvo a intentar tener mas control  .....gracias a un tratamiento bastante caro me encuentro mejor de salud, ahora me encuentro en Veracruz  haciendo Sankirtan como Ofrenda a Sri Nityananda ....llevo 550 Libros distribuidos, por su inmensa compasión Amado Gurudev esta inútil alma caida está ocupada en servicio, infinitas gracias por su ejemplo personal que es el refugio de todos los que lo Amamos!!!

su inutil y torpe sirvienta

HPS. - Hare Krsna, Mother! Super news. We told everyone about your Sankirtan service during the Nityananda trsyodasi lecture in New Delhi temple. About five hundred devotees. We didn't mention your name. Krsna is giving you a challenge to find new ways to increase your book distribution. Srila Prabhupada was skin and bones but he was still playing on the big Mrdanga until the last moments of his life. More news!

Hare Krishna, Maharaj.

I have met and spoke with you twice. I'm not sure if this is the right place for my inquiry but I cannot determine another.

My question is: "What are the steps you require for a disciple to be initiated by you and come under your shelter?"

After learning your response, I will wonder where I may answer any of your questions to me privately.

Please accept my humble obeisances. I will be eagerly awaiting your response.

HPS - We must met in Houston, no? If you look in our News you will see a link to Guru tattva. There it explains the initiation process and our take on it. Most of the questions we can just carry on here. If h there are any very confidential things, yes, we can communicate privately. Thank you.

02/15/16 Haribol Guru Maharaja! dandavata and pranams Jaya Sri Advaita Acharya! Jaya Sri Guru and Gauranga 1. Am aware you have said you will not be visiting No. Ca this year. However, since I have been trying to develop a contact with Dr. Little for you, and since it was just coming together when I became aware you would not be able to visit, I am going to give you the information anyway just in case you change your mind or it is useful information for some other time. The reason I could not bring the pieces together sooner is because he was in India gathering information for a *paper he is writing during the Summer. Paper is titled: Early Vaishnava Iconography. He has invited you to attend any of his classes and shows interest in connecting with you. So here is the info. If you want his personal e-mail address, just let me know. I'll text it or include it in the envelop with the monthly donation as I don't want to put it in the blog. I promised him I would respect his privacy as he is quite well known. UC Berkeley: Thursdays 3-6pm Course: CJ Jung & Joseph Campbel Ends: 04/28/16 Sac State: Mondays 6-9pm Course: History of Buddhism Ends 04/28/16 UC Davis: Fall Semester (ends?) Art History, one on Hindu Temples including excellent coverage re. Vaishnava temples including Jagannath Puri, Sri Rangam and Srivillipatur to name a few. Sac State: Fall Semester (ends) Asian Art & Mythology Summer School: Not teaching Summer school 2016 due to above mentioned paper*. I have been trying to get a series of regular, once-a-month home programs started for ISKON Sac. First one was at our house in late Jan. I mentioned it in my last letter post. A second was held at Shashi's house last Sunday. A third will be held in March; in April we will host another here. Theme is "Deepening Our Bhakti Creepers." Program consists of 1. Group chanting of Maha Mantra (not in unison) 2. Chanting of most of Brahma Samhita 3. Arati, 4. extensive kirtan 5. personal sharing among devotees 6. light prasadam At the program held Sun. past, some members of the Folsom group attended and I am hoping to bring (by Krsna's mercy) more and more of those devotees into the home programs. At any rate, it is possible you could also speak at that group next time a visit works for your schedule. Dr. Little has asked me to invite him to the home program at our house in April. Please keep this in your merciful prayers. May all your preaching endeavors fulfill your longing to serve God and Guru! Your Useless Servant, Kalindi Devi Dasi HPS - Yes, seems we will only be able to talk with him by phone when we get back to USA. That can be very productive also. Keep preaching to him and everyone you meet. Will we see you in Boise? Great vacation site. We lost your Gopinatha letter!
