Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, dear GM, Pamho.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I'm just fine. I little fall down. Gettin up late, the flu, weak rounds, lots of ice-cream and cookies, movies, discouranged, depressed...but still alive. Trying to adjust goals, NIMSAR perspective, relationship with ISKCON administration (getting worse), etc.

I want to fix Bhakti BV. My situation and my students situation. I guess first step is applying to BVB Godfather program. So, I'm requesting to participate in that program. Please, we merciful to me as always, and allow me to be part of it. 

Lots of details we can talk later. I still have a few hot topics about temple, sankirtan, and ashrama situation.

This is it for now. Just wanted to say that I'm still here, damaged, wounded, but alive.

Your servant,

LAD

HpS - Ooof!   We were very worried about you. Hadn't heard for several days. Called and no answer.   We avoid the cookies (unless cooked by devotees), but at times we have also drowned out sorrow in ice cream (Prasadam).
We have been trying. Three times we were so disturbed by ISKCON politics, administracion that we were ready to leave the management structure (starve to death and go to Srila Prabhupada), but each time we saw that the GBC et al adjusted their programs. For example, Guru tattva after Prabhupada left.

Pretty early, we remember, we were walking up a hill in San Francisco on the way to work. We were living in the Temple and working at a bank corporation 4-12-midnight. We were thinking about hell in the Ashram, devotee conflicts, trying to serve, and at that point we made this committment, we weren't intiated then, that no matter who fell away, even if everyone was crazy, we would not give up trying to help Srila Prabhupada in his mission.

Have you had a similar realization? I guess so. Then, its a matter of seeing how much ice cream you actually need. Kardama needed a wife (very nice wife!). Arjuna needed a manly shoulder to cry on and some good counseling (already had a wife).

Have you read all Six Cantos with our ASA CSGs?  If yes, then you, seems also La Brujita Blanca del Sur (Kumari Yugala kishora Dasi) can join this review, but... can you join us Saturday Night Live?

We need a translator. Actually the PPTX shows could be available each morning and then adjusted by 6PM.   Hmmm.
We asked ART to get Ekanatha-gaura Das to call us about the administration.
1. Who are you?

2. Find your friends in ISKCON.

3. Make some plans.

4. Acquire your tools (typewriters (attack camels (freeze dried ice-cream))).

Please write as often as you can. Make news (and die).

Querido Gurumaharaja, le ruego por favor acepte mis reverencias.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada, quien es un océano de misericordia.

Todas las Glorias a usted que se ha rendido a la trascendental misión de Srila Prabhupada

Querido Gurudeva, estoy aquí reportándome, continuamos firmes en nuestras 16 rondas, 4 principios, lectura regular de los libros de Srila Prabhupada. Solo por su misericordia sin causa fue que logramos sobrevivir a la tormenta…  al parecer, gracias a quedarnos prácticamente sin nada,  gran parte del orgullo también se ha disipado y estoy situándome en mi posición como sirviente.

Nuestras prioridades son: 16 rondas, 4 principios, Lectura de libros de Srila Prabhupada, Crecer Vaisnava  (Educación a distancia), Servicio en el templo, apoyo al programa Homeschool… y otros.

HpS - ASA -- Programa por la manana???    Mangala arati por Radharani and Krsna!   1-1/2 horas antes de levanta el Sol!

Este Karttika masa, pudimos apreciar con mayor intensidad de la inmerecida misericordia de Sri Hari;  Ya que, después de varios meses sin tener servicio en el templo, los misericordiosos Vaisnavas me han empeñado nuevamente en el servicio de Guirnaldas  y por otro lado debido a que madre Gopi Radha, viajó a Houston por varias semanas, misericordiosamente  me ofreció quedarme como facilitadora de los niños de la cooperativa Homeschool que se quedaron. Así es que he pasado unas semanas extáticas con los pequeños y sus madres en las que todos aprendimos mucho, sinceramente disfruto mucho este servicio. Lamentablemente antes de que madre GRDD me ofreciera este servicio yo tenía algunos otros compromisos, por lo que solo pude apoyar durante algunas semanas.

Ahora he viajado a Guadalajara, me estoy hospedando con algunos familiares de Prabhu Arya-Srestha, y he venido con la intención de asistir al “XXIII encuentro de educación a distancia” que ha sido organizado por la universidad de Guadalajara,  Y debido a que este tema es de gran interés para nuestro servicio en Crecer Vaisnava  (Educación a distancia) estamos muy deseosos de participar, aprender y mejorar nuestro servicio.

En relación a “Crecer Vaisnava”, estamos buscando colaboradores para la emisión de material para niños, sus padres e instructores.  Parece ser que es momento de buscar una fuente de ingresos para hacer el proyecto sostenible.  Pues ahora que yo no estoy laborando, estamos teniendo problemas para cubrir los gastos de la plataforma virtual.

Querido Gurudeva, querido padre… le ruego por favor nos instruya respecto a que camino debemos tomar.  Y ¿cómo podemos hacer un servicio útil para usted, para su Sankirtan? Mi único deseo es algún día poder  serle  de utilidad.

Le estoy eternamente agradecida por su infinita misericordia, y  porque gracias a usted pienso que estoy más cerca de Srila Prabhupada.  Muchas Gracias.

Su torpe aspirante a sirviente

Karuna-Sakti Devi Dasi

HpS - ASA -  Hare Krsna. Muy bien oir de Vd.    Esta en contacto con la Madre Purnamasi en Espana? Ella tiene program fuerte para los domingos para ninos, tiene dos ninos, esposo Super Devoto, professor para ninos professional para muchos anos.

Ser util para nosotros:   Puese somos esforzando para ser util para Srila Prabhupada. Buscando devotos de mismo modo de Sadhana y Sankirtan entre el gran universo de ISKCON como nostros (HpS, Monocito, Puerquecito...).
Aque puede ver lo que pasa con nostros. Claro cada su modo de Sankirtan, entonces si esta bien occupado en ISKCON de Srila Prabhupada, eso es super para nosotros. Si, inclinacion similar con nosotros, ASA, bien.
Simposium in Guadalajar aparece super.
Mas noticias...  

hare krishna Maharaj pamho agtsp.

thank you very much for all the care you've had.

I will consider everything, and talk to the devotees here; and try to give the right step.

Yes; i was in India in the month of Kartika in 2009

I was in Mayapur, Nabadwip, Bhubaneswar - in the temple of Gaura-Govinda Maharaj; also i was in Jagannatha Puri Dhama - where I committed the impertinence to enter the temple on two occasions; then Vrindavan Dham, Varsana, Govardham.

incredible journey. It was very important to me; That helped me a lot; to have a little more faith. See Hare Krishna from another point of view, deeper; not like those crazy people who walk on the street singing.

well, I will continue trying to understand all this.
 
Maharaj - once again thank you very much for your support.

HpS - Aaaah!   You are an experienced fellow, but still we worry that you will just get boored in Vrndavan ISKCON, ....   unless Radha Shyama want you to sit in front of them with Their Lady Friends and sing and play funny songs.      Maybe They have some other thing They want you to do. Look for a Sankirtan party passing nearby you!

Who is that boy in the white shirt next to you in the picture?

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krishna GuruMaharaj!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my humble obeisances.

We continue in Madrid,

our services are the same from some months ago:

temple commander and pujari.

In general, all is ok with the services.

We are developing this new program call

Kirtan Pizza from some weeks ago,

the devotees like a lot and

usually some new people join us to chant in the temple and

take prasadam.

The guest can chant one hour and half and

after they can eat all the pizza

that they want!

In addition, Janardana Das Prabhu (temple president) are doing

one program call Cine forum:

we watch one film at month

(very good topics reincarnation, social problems, spirituality) and

we talk around half hour about

some important topics

that we discover in the film.

I was talking with Bhadra Vardhana Das Prabhu

about going out to chant to street one day a week and

maybe we start this Thursday,

now is winter but we can find

some places like subway stations, etc…

I continue with the Bhakti Sastri

(Sri Isopanisad, I hope finish the course in

February-March) and now im reading

second part of third canto (S.B).

In December Jiva (the cooker)

will travel one month to Peru and

one devotee from the ashram

(Bhakta Victor) an me will cover him.

Also Jagamohan Das Prabhu

continue cooking all the Sundays and Mondays.

For me is a new challenge to

cook for all the prasadam program,

for next month I will

delegate part of my services to focus in the kitchen.

No more news now.

Hope to see you soon.

Thanks for your time.

Mantri Rama Das

ASA - Become rich, become famous, become beautiful, become immortal.
Become a devotee of Krsna who walks and skips with His little friends in
transcdental forest of Vraja.

We talked with Yadu Swami for 45-minutes, here in USA yesterday.
He, Sananada Devi Dasi, also told  us about: Pizza night, Cine Forum,
Kirtan in the Metro...  Go-Gopi-Gokulananda.  Just try something and
you will understand how to do better!!!!!!!!
Big results soon to come.

AGTSP!!

AGT GURU and GOURANGA!!

Many greetings Maharaja, I hope you are well in all aspects

HpS - ASA - Dying a peaceful death.  AGTSP!!

I do not want to be boring, I just wanted to thank you for your recommendations. Sometimes I feel a little bad about telling all my paranoia, because if it's not right, but I need to tell. Try it from possible more spiritual perspective. Thank you for your kind and friendly treatment. As a great protective friend.

I love the sound of that of "psychology of the sacred" is something I feel very close to my mental prism. I hope one day I can start and finish Psychology.

HpS - ASA --  More accurately the title is "Psychology AND the Sacred".    Mind, mind, come and play, in the cowherds sheds and hay.

I would tell You I'm always happy, I'm always feeling like my eyes dry looking for a world that I not see. And how then cry. I would tell that any cloud settles over my heart. I would tell that I am always happy to have close friends like you. I would tell that I never feel alone.

I have to say that I often death comes after me once. I want to fly where my soul dreams. I have to say that sometimes I think I'm cursed, so separated from my loved ones, only. And then I think that as I would receive mercy but a person like me. I think that, being as I am, having lived many things, am ungrateful.

I have to say that I am very unhappy and very happy, and often think it's good, and other otherwise.

The other day I was fortunate to receive a string of friendly and good Franciscan religious but I'm wrong. It was like breathing air instead of smoke.

Lately I think a lot about the psychological spaces. In the psyche as consciousness used to project onto the external elements, the world, then we perceive as reality. In our mind and destroys and creates unseen, and how, if we let flow a sacred sound from inside out, as the river flows to the sea, we live in a different world without changing the external shape. And how can we willingly allow others are with us in this area of life.

I hope I'm not writing too many days. The next time I will write only one poem thinking in Vrndavan, no more mental things.

Yours, Budhanath Das.

HARE KRSNA

ASA - Oink!    The wind is subtle, wind is warm, it makes us turn and look at Krsna and Subal sitting on the hill forlorn.
