Letters to the editor

Dear Guru Maharaj, 

Please accept our obeisances,

All glories to His Divine Grace !

On this very auspicious day of Srila Prabhupada tirobhava, it's unavoidable to remember your grace on us as well. For us , Prabhupada never disappeared. He only appeared and keeps being present proportionately with our service/contribution to his movement. As long as intensity is there, Srila Prabhupada is present. As soon as there is a day off, Prabhupada is less visible. Prabhupada made a giant step to come out of Vrindavan and expand his tree/mercy. And your Holiness is the fruit of that tree that is gracing us and bringing us closer to Srila Prabhupada. Seems like Guru Tattva is like a banyan tree. Roots and branches are all dependable on each other. We want to become a solid branch on that tree, and your appearance in our life is hope that is cherished and dealt with care and attention. Our services are at best imperfect, but we seek your mercy, and we ask to please accept our services until one day they become perfect and worth glory. We want to glorify His Divine Grace, but we face so many obstacles. Remembering your dedication is a source of strength. Please accept our struggles and bless us to have dedication as you have. Although we are limping behind you and other exalted Vaishnavas, we still feel bliss. How must it be blissful when one is properly situated? It's something that we want to and are eager to experience and share. We made many mistakes, and it was all forgiven. Please bless us that we forgive others' mistakes. We want to see only good in others and fan that. We want to see potential and expand on that. Kindly bless us with that ability. We noticed that prayers are so satisfying , even if the desired result/goal/intention is not manifested. We pray to your Holiness to pray for us so that we can be instruments in this glorious movement that will make something that Srila Prabhupada will be pleased with. Praying for that, we are totally immersed in devotion, and we feel sheltered. We wander who is giving us more mercy, your Holiness, or Srila Prabhupada. As much we count your grace, that much we find Prabhupada grace. It's inconceivable! Whatever it may be, we are happy with this transcendental confusion. This paragraph can expand on a page, to a chapter, and ultimately to a book. But I will keep it short and give space for others to take a bit of your valuable time that you are offering us as a service to His Divine Grace that we are remembering today more than other days. 

We hope to please you and perhaps get your prayers to His Divine Grace. Your recommendation letter to our Lord and a Master, Srila Prabhupada.

We thank you sincerely

Narayan pandit das and Vanara-rani Anjana Devi Dasi

HpS - AgtSP!!! Paoho. It is just so amazing. I feel like everything that I feel about Srila Prabhupada is being expressed in the same words by these Tiri-bhava offerings.

Thanks to all.

"Devotional service is not a matter of imaginative ecstasy or sentimental speculation, rather it is practical activity in the foreground of spiritual life", NoI.

Thank you!!

More news you can send of your Sankirtan and Yatra is very nice.

Thank you.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru Maharaj ji ,

Hare Krishna, everyone,

HpS, AGTSP! Thank you for your letter and work in this area.

As I know, the etiquette would be for you to address me as, 'Maharaja' and not "Guru Maharaja", although as far as I am concerned, I am just trying to be your servant by mercy of Guru and Gauranga.

In the past few weeks, our community, particularly the Peruvian ISKCON community, has experienced a period of tension and chaos. Unfortunately, a similar situation unfolded within my own community and family. As Many of you are likely aware of the circumstances surrounding the affairs of Mata Nadia Nivasi Devi Dasi from Lima, Peru, and myself, Milan Rai, from Puri, India.

This personal matter escalated into a tense situation due to emotional instability on both sides, preventing any meaningful conversation. Consequently, contacts were blocked, and the issue became public, impacting not only the individuals involved but also many members of our community. It is regrettable that our immature decisions dragged many of you unintentionally into our personal situation. Your valuable time and energy were invested in resolving our personal problems, leading to unpleasant questioning sessions for some.

The involvement of others in our private matter is regrettable, and we acknowledge the negative consequences of our actions. The damage has been done to both sides, causing mental, spiritual, and psychological distress over the past three weeks. At this point, both of us seek peace and healing for ourselves. The immature behavior on both sides even stressed Guru Maharaj ji, and this unfortunate situation unfolded during the auspicious month of Damodar, which is truly regrettable.

Reflecting on the trouble caused, we recognize our fault and feel a deep sense of guilt. In light of this, we believe it is necessary to publicly apologize to everyone who was inadvertently drawn into this situation, who invested their time, and who experienced stress due to our personal issues.

Therefore, on behalf of both of us, I, Milan Rai, extend my sincere apologies to everyone affected by this situation. And It is crucial to emphasize that I harbor no hatred towards Mata Nadia, and I sincerely hope that she finds herself in a better state of mind now.

With humility and remorse,

Milan Rai

HpS // ASA - Thank you so much. We can only endorse your sentiments in so many ways. Srila Prabhupada directly echoes the comment that we should not always be disturbed by failures because they can be the stepping stones to ultimate success.

There is also a comment from Srimati Nadiya. So we will look to that.

Of course, this Blog is a place for further discussion on the general points involved, and as we might be able to help with details we can move into private discussions with proper association.

Hare Krsna, beloved Gurudeva, AGTSP PAMHO

My favorite Japa bead is My own Japa. Ir keeps me connected with the holy mames.

Happy Diwali Gurudeva

Chandramukhi dd

HpS//ASA - Yet, agtSP, are there some that are spectacularly interesting???

🙂

¡Hare Krsna! Querido Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes y rendidas reverencias.

¡Todas las Glorias sean a nuestro muy misericordioso Fundador- Acarya, quien acepto tantas austeridades para salvar a tantas almas de la terrible condición en la que voluntariamente ingresamos! 🙇

y ¡todas las glorias a sus fieles discípulos!

Gurudeva, oramos sinceramente a nuestros Señores Sri Sri Jagannatha, Baladeva y Srimati Subhadra, le otorguen plena protección. Se de antemano que así es, porque usted esta entregado al servicio de Srila Prabhupada, pero orar sinceramente es lo único que podemos hacer desde nuestra limitada condición. 🙏

Hoy escribo porque durante FMS, usted dijo que enviáramos una foto de nuestra cuenta “dhirodatta” después de la lectura del NOD, cuando usted hizo la petición de una foto inmediatamente pensé en una de mis cuentas, ella es ciertamente particular (para mi), es la sexta de mis cuentas, en su cara frontal y posterior se le dibuja una “ V ” y tiene una textura muy peculiar.  (Envió fotos de ella)

Por otra parte, le comento que ayer sábado, me tocaba liderar el kirtan durante FMS y tuve que arrastrarme con determinación a Mangala aratika, porque desde hace días estamos sufriendo uno de los más fuertes dolores de cabeza que este cuerpo ha experimentado, pero vuestra asociación y la de los vaisnavas nos motivaron para intentar. Por favor disculpe nuestras ofensas y mala conciencia. 🙇

Más tarde leí su respuesta a la carta de Laksmana Agraja Prabhu... me sentí avergonzada, por solo pensar en mí, mientras que usted hace toda clase de esfuerzos por incluirnos en el trascendental ejército de Srila Prabhupada. Oramos porque su dedo se encuentre mejor. Gracias por su majestuoso ejemplo, es por su misericordia que seguimos vivos y en la lucha, hasta que nuestro Caballeroso Señor decida otra cosa.

Muchas gracias por todo Gurudeva, si me lo permite, en otro momento escribiré sobre mis intentos de sankirtan, tal como me lo solicito. Por ahora, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, cariño, respeto y admiración.

Siempre a sus órdenes

Su aspirante a discípula

Karuna-Sakti Devi Dasi 

HpS - AgtSP. I don't think that we are as austere as you! We don't control our impulses for comfort for this body as well as we should eg. sometimes eating grains at night.

Let us look at you bead!!!!!

...

It is amazing! I think Brijavasis call that an 'eye'. It think it is were a branch, twig, is starting to come out, no?

Hare Krsna!!

Now we pack.

We leave for Houston in less than one day.

Soon we leave for Nabadvip with Nimai??

Hare Krsna, Dear Gurumaharaja. Pamho. AGTSP.

Here reporting you his servant Vrajendra kumara das from Mayapur dham.

We continue to live here with my wife Amala Sundari DD since you came and gave us the pleasure of serving You and the team to film the movie.

The rounds and saddhana have become more fixed since I need the mercy of the Supreme Lord day by day to survive in the dham, support my family, work with iskcon online and with my export company😅

. ( Circumstances have become me more Nista)

My wife and I are fine, it seems that Mr. Gauranga finally gave us a permanent place to live in the Dhan, we plan to travel in the summer but return for work

Dear Guru Maharaja, I have read your reports and calendar and I would very much like to be able to serve you when you come to India in June if we are still alive, excuse me for not writing to you but I was these two years trying to establish the foundations to grow my family and I focused on work.

please help me! Give me your mercy and give me a service, what can I do for you?

Your Servants Vrajendra Kumara das y Amala Sundari DD

HpS - Very nice to hear from you! Hope you can always see any stability in youe Ashrama as the mercy of Krsna, like a raft in the tumultuous ocean!

Like Sudama Vipra.
