Letters to the editor

Hare Krisna Gurudev.Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que se encuentre entusiasta cuando reciba este mensaje. Por aquí seguimos intentando volvernos buenos devotos y aún tenemos que luchar por seguir nuestro sadhana y obligaciones con el guru. No es desagradable pero tampoco espontaneo. Gracias por su contestación a mi carta anterior:

Nimai se gradua mañana y se prepara para ir a la Universidad. Aún no tiene decidido 100% lo que va a estudiar. Aquí se suelen estudiar dos cosas a la vez y, parece que será derecho y también algo relacionado con economía, dirección de empresas o algo así. Tiene hasta septiembre para decidirlo.

En cuanto a los compañeros de estudio Bhakti Vaibhava hay varios conocidos: Con Karuna Sakti d.d. vamos por el cuarto módulo juntos. Hicimos el Canto 2, después el Canto 1, repetimos el Canto 2 y ahora estamos haciendo el Canto 3. Mas adelante se han ido uniendo otros devotos como Caturatma, Abhiram Thakur, Pati Prana d.d., Mathura Mani d.d., Guru Govinda d.d, y otros. Estoy feliz de estar en el grupo con buen profesor y buenos alumnos.

Ayer leí un articulo interesante sobre un libro de un Catedrático de Historia Antigua en la Universidad de Malaga y os comparto el link: https://www.eldebate.com/cultura/libros/20240504/trajano-gan-ying-sahadeva-encuentro-roma-china-india-siglo-ii_194263.html#utm_source=rrss-comp&utm_medium=wh&utm_campaign=fixed-btn . Es sobre un libro que ha escrito este catedrático explicando las conexiones que habían hace siglos entre las culturas india, china y romana (oriente y occidente). Es bueno saber que hay algunos académicos que citan periodos históricos de épocas védicas. (habla sobre tres personajes históricos como Gang Ying en China, Trajano en Europa (nacido en Sevilla) y Sahadev, uno de los cinco Pandavas en India). Creo que es algo curioso que no hayamos detectado a este académico español.

Esperamos con alegría su futura asociación y poder hacer algún humilde servicio para su bienestar.

Gracias

Hare Krishna, Gurudev. Pamho. TgaSP and his loyal followers.

HpS/ASA -Jaya! 🐵👍

I hope you are enthusiastic when you receive this message.

ASA - 67-93%

Over here we are still trying to become good devotees and we still have to struggle to follow our sadhana and obligations to the guru. It's not unpleasant but it's not spontaneous either.

ASA - Is your intellect spontaneously convinced that it will be productive, even if your senses may be a little torpid?

Thank you for your response to my previous letter:

Nimai graduates tomorrow and prepares to go to university. He has not yet decided 100% what he is going to study. Here you usually study two things at the same time and, it seems that it will be law and also something related to economics, business management or something like that. He has until September to decide.

ASA - Why not Law and History?

As for Bhakti Vaibhava's fellow students there are several acquaintances: With Karuna Sakti d.d. Let's go through the fourth module together. We did Canto 2, then Canto 1, we repeated Canto 2 and now we are doing Canto 3. Later other devotees have joined such as Caturatma, Abhiram Thakur, Pati Prana d.d., Mathura Mani d.d., Guru Govinda d.d, and others . I am happy to be in the group with a good teacher and good students.

ASA - You seem to be one of the most fortunate people in the world. Would you trade your position for the Pope, Putin??

Yesterday I read an interesting article about a book by a Professor of Ancient History at the University of Malaga and I share the link:

https://www.eldebate.com/cultura/libros/20240504/trajano-gan-ying-sahadeva-encuentro -rome-china-india-2nd-century_194263.html#utm_source=rrss-comp&utm_medium=wh&utm_campaign=fixed-btn .

It is about a book that this professor has written explaining the connections that existed centuries ago between Indian, Chinese and Roman cultures (east and west). It is good to know that there are some scholars who cite historical periods from Vedic times. (talks about three historical figures such as Gang Ying in China, Trajan in Europe (born in Seville) and Sahadev, one of the five Pandavas in India). I think it is somewhat curious that we have not detected this Spanish academic.

ASA - Could you understand enough about the book from the article to see if he had substantial evidence for his thesis? The Pandavas lived in Dvarpara Yuga. Has he appreciated that factor?

Thank you!!

We look forward with joy to his future association and to be able to do some humble service for his well-being.

Thank you

HpS/ASA - Can you help us with some plans for our visit to Spain?

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRI SRI GURU Y GAURANGA

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRILA PRABHUPADA

TODAS LAS GLORIAS AL SANKIRTANA ETERNO YAJÑA PARA ESTA ERA.

Querido Guru Maharaj, espero que estés muy bien, porfavor acepta mis respetuosas y más humildes reverencias, después de mucho tiempo te escribo, por mi seguridad no quiero que mi carta sea pública, porque esta persona Milan Ray me volvió a escribirme a mi watsap entonces preferiero seguir manteniéndome en reserva de mis cosas con los vaisnavas y solo hacerles saber a Ud. y a madre Gaura Gadhadara dasi y madre Karuna mayi dd

Mi reporte es el siguiente; estoy cantando 16 rondas, siguiendo los 4 principios, ayunos de ekadasis, cantando 3 gayatris, yo me levanto 4.30 am., estoy leyendo el Srimad Bagavatam canto 4 cap. 9, terminé de leer el libro “El tesoro escondido de Navadwuipa” y El libro “Navadwuipa Parikrama”.

Estoy viviendo en Mayapur, me siento muy feliz aquí, hay protección en todo sentido y tengo la buena asociación de M. Gaura Gadhadara dasi, M. laksmirani d.d. , Matidayini d.d., Tulasi kunja d.d., Yo hice el Navadwuipa Parikrama con mi hermana Gaura, escuchando muy atentamente a los pasatiempos que ella me explicaba, la asociación de Gaura es muy maravillosa y valiosa para mí, me gusta siempre escuchar sus enseñanzas de ella, también le ayudo a ella en el puyari de bhajan kutir en el pulido de las cúpulas de gaura nitay y en la limpieza del altar, me siento muy feliz hacer un pequeño servicio en el altar de las deidades de Srila Prabhupada, también ayudo a Madre Gaura en el puyari de radha madhava con la limpieza y a hacer algunas joyas, en las tardes participo de un grupo de devotos rusos de Harinam durante 2 horas, me entusiasma mucho y me llena de felicidad hacer esto, ayudo a tocar los karatalas, bailo con las madres, y me gusta ver bailar a los devotos bengalíes, tienen mucha inocencia y expresión de amor a Gaura Nitay.

Algunas veces me voy a cantar rondas a bhajan kutir y sentarme cerca de srila prabhupada, me ayuda mucho a meditar en El y ver como hizo todo esto en Mayapur y en todo el mundo, como la prédica de Srila Prabhupada tuvo tanto éxito y cuanta gente se está uniendo a su sankirtana, otras veces me siento delante de Radha Madhava y sakis a cantar rondas y le pido que porfavor me ayuden a mejorar mi yapa, y ha estado ocurriendo un milagro, mi yapa la canto mas lento y mucho mejor, siento que necesito mejorar mi yapa para una buena conexión con Paramatma y Guru.

En mis ratos libres, realizo un poco de hatha yoga y estudiar inglés por mi propia cuenta.

El inglés puedo entenderlo a un 70% cuando hablan, y mi conversación en inglés es muy básico.

Quiero expresarle a Ud. que los parikramas me gustan muchísimo y quiero hacerlo cada año, me gusta visitar los diferentes lugares sagrados, me gusta tomar baño en los diferentes kundas, a pesar que vi serpientes rojas en el kunda del Narashinja Pali, yo pude entrar después con el grupo de devotos, también entrar al Ganges y tomar baño es una gran experiencia espiritual.

Estoy mas de 6 meses viviendo en india, y adecuarme no ha sido difícil para mí, la comida, el clima, la cultura, me gusta todo y yo sé que puedo adecuarme más, lo único que extraño es a mis padres ellos tienen 70 años pero están juntos y pueden apoyarse el uno al otro. 

Despúes de leer el libro el tesoro escondido de Navadwuipa, pude entender muchas cosas sobre este lugar hermoso y sagrado lleno de pasatiempos, me siento muy bendecida por ud. Y por srila prabhupada de poder pisar esta tierra santa. Escucho sus clases gravadas y de esta manera me siento cerca de ud. Y me siento inspirada y medita que ud. Esta muy cerca de mi.

Muchas gracias por toda su protección querido Guru Maharaj, espero seguir reportándome con Ud. Que Narashinja lo proteja.

Hare krishna

ALL GLORIES TO SRI SRI GURU AND GAURANGA

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA

ALL GLORIES TO THE ETERNAL SANKIRTANA YAJÑA FOR THIS ERA.

Dear Guru Maharaj, I hope you are very well, please accept my respectful and most humble obeisances, after a long time I am writing to you, for my safety I do not want my letter to be public, because this person Milan Ray wrote to me again on my WhatsApp So I prefer to continue keeping my things secret with the Vaishnavas and just let you and mother Gaura Gadhadara dasi and mother Karuna mayi know.

HpS - Hare Krsna. It has taken us 3-weeks to open this letter, and now we see that we cannot read it because, as we have posted repeatedly, Sannyasi and B'cari should not have private conversations with beautiful young women.

Or even kindly, ugly old women. 😎

So... please write to us by Whatsapp with a copy to a Brahman dude, like Ananda maya Das et al.

O.K.

We do want to hear about you.

We want to hear that you in the middle of this Battle of Kuruksetra and even though you have not been able to dodge all the arrows, you are getting back up and fighting for Srila Prabhupada's, Lord Caitanyas's ISKCON daily!

Jaya.

Hare Krishna

Hare Krishna.

Dandavat Pranam Guru Maharaj 🙏

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, all glories to Sri Sri Gour Nityai.

Hare Krishna, wishing you a happy Mohini Ekadasi and an early happy Narasimha Chaturdasi. I apologize for the delay in my communication. Please forgive me. The Sunday GoToMeeting (Bhagavat Katha) made me feel closer to you, which is wonderful.

HpS - ASA - AgtSP! Ditto! So nice to hear from you.

Guru Maharaj, I am now 26 weeks pregnant with another baby. We hope to have another good Vrajabasi devotee. This is only possible with your mercy, "Mukam karoti vachalam pangum langhayate girim yat kripa tam aham vande sri guru dinatarine." Only through Guru's grace. I beg for your mercy.

HpS - We are just dancing frogs 🐸 at the feet of Srila Prabhupada!

We are trying a little bit, but should try more! 💪🐵.

By His Divine Grace and Sampradaya may we understand what Krsna's wants us to do as mother, father, daughter and son. Just like the Pandava's and get His work done!

I listen to the Bhagavat Katha by H. H. Bhakti Anand Haridasa Maharaj every morning and evening on Zoom. Following your instructions, my younger sister Manjuwali Mataji and I read the Krishna book together. I along with husband and daughter also visit the Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Temple in Vrindavan for darshan on regular basis.

HpS/ASA - Wow! So nice. We would like to be your children!

Looking forward to have your Darshan.

Sincerely,

Kalpalatika dd

HpS - Hare Krsna. Hare Rama.

I hope you can follow us on Twitter.

We can post a lot there.

Hare Krishna Guru ji.

Dandavat Pranams.

Guruji, I am learning myself by attending Bhagavatam classes twice a week with Subala Sakha prabhu ji I go to the temple every Saturday and every ekadasi for darshan (Radha Madan Mohanji) and try to help in the temple. Now in the new temple, I work in the gift shop 2-3 days and festivals and work as volunteer whenever I can guruji.

I get a chance to sing 12:30 aarti on Saturday mostly. I feel very beginner to spiritual life guruji so I try to focus on learning by attending classes and volunteer whenever for whatever they may need me. Sugopi led a manra meditation workshop at her yoga studio and I was there and spoke briefly on chanting and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

In May, there is Capital Kirtan for 3 days in DC and so we’ll be there to help there. Sugopi is one of the organizers. Guruji I work full time too. So I try to maintain my life as much as I can.

Your aspiring servant,

The notice of you going to Spain make me feel very happy, because now I will se you again, now I'm making some plans to be able to work there (in europe) and I think that is goig to be nice for me, I hope for your blessing in that matter, also I want to say sorry for not sending a letter in such a long time, this months for me have being really hard, but for now I feel very better, I'm chanting and dancing, also now my sankirtan is not as good as at it was a few months ago, but now I'm foccus on make every person that I make true sankirtan a devotee or close the way for that, I'm also reeding al most every dat the Srimad Bhagavatam (and sometimes the Bible) and I'm really enjoying that, is crazy how everythig that you put along with Krsna makes you feel more plesure or a strange gratification for do in it, now my target is that, make everything conected with Krsna in some way, I think also the bad time that I was having was for that, for forget that every action that one have to do have to be for and with Krsna, otherwise is just a lost of time, sorry for not being able to conect to your morning program, this fool can't go to bed before 11 pm, now we are workig to change that but for the moment is a problem that my family don't help much to solve.

Also I will start the Spiritual Warrior of his holliness Bhakti Tirtha Swami my dad give to me in one night along with some pizza and a few Popcorn made with Ghee, a very strange desition of making it but ended up tasting very nice hahaha.

A last thing to add, I still think about the pictures that I promise to you of the travel of Argentina, but I don't know way in this app is super complicated to send, once I almost loose the letter that I was trying to send, so If we meet in Spain and if I have the oportunity I think will be a best time to show you that.

Now with little to few to add, I say good bye and Hare Krsna :D

ASA/tb - agtsp!!!!! thank you for news... ours is about the same.

is this a good documentary?

from ww 2 we see how hard it was to win even one little fight on this planet, what to speak of conquering durga devi!!!

maybe we should expect many battles!!!!!

but see lasting progress each time!!!

Hare Krsna Srila Gurudev

Srila Prabhupada ki jai !!

Dandavat pranam at your lotus feet Srila gurudev

I am so glad and relieved to see that your holiness plans to visit Vraj dham this year. Consequently I, have currently dropped my plans for spain. Although, I am thinking of atleast making my passport.

I had a very very wonderful Darshan at jagannath puri. Tried visiting the places where sri caitanya mahaprabhu used to go. I got lot of mercy in the form of darshan and prasad at alarnath dham. The stone that had melted under Caitanya mahaprabhu is still there.

Went to bhajan kutir of H.D.G. Srila Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati thakur Srila Prabhupada. My appreciation has increased so much for him. I always felt special connection with H.D.G. Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati goswami Prabhupada. I am currently planning to read Bhakti Siddhant Vaibhav by H.H. Srila Bhakti Vikas maharaj. Found a online free copy, not sure if that's the complete version or not.

My sadhana has also improved a lot. 4 regulation principles intact and chanting my 16 rounds regularly but quality has to improve.

My Nitai and Nimai deities are back with me so I am very happy to serve them again. Looking at them gives me lot of happiness.

Srila Gurudev one question : how do senior devotees associate with each other. When Sanyasis and senior devotees meet each other how do they associate, what do they talk about.

Eagerly waiting for you to come to vraj.

Your trying to be student

Rturaj Krsna Das

hps/asa -super, super, agtsp, good news. t h a n k you!!! thank you. you are making solid eternal progress.
