Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna GM.

All Glories to HDG AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to You
All Glories to devotees.

Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet.

Dear Gurudeva.  Hope your health is good. My it's ok thanks for ask in previous letter :)
4 pples ok [ASA - 4-apples??]. 20 rounds a day, holy name week, hope convince my mind about all my weeks have to be a holy name week... ha ha ha

Question: Gurudeva, I don't usually ask to you, what I have to do, is it something bad? I don't remember the last time you ask me for some service, I not give you a choice to engage me in that or this thing, I just do it. I feel maybe I not give you the place to correct me. I try to follow you on the preach and go forth to get your objetives, but how can I know what a Guru want??? Whats wrong with me? Gurudeva please if you think my concept of serve you is wrong, please let me know.  Sorry for my offences.

HpS - No, it seems fine. Just keep association with some 1/2 sane devotees like yourself, ISKCON administration and then you should have happy inspiration from the Paramatma, no? 

In previous letters you was make me some question thats i never answer, sorry for my impersonalism...

------------------------
Hps: How do you see Vrndavana Dhama reflected in Buenos Aires? Is there any value in Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges?
I don't know Vrndavan Dham. Because of that, it´s impossible to know if it reflect or no in Bs.As.  If I make an opinion will be only my speculation. I think a lot about that, we read the books, we make the homework, but the experience you have to live. One can read about love, but if not experiment it, it will only be a concept.  I don't know too much about Borges I remember in the School I have studied a story called "the circular ruins" and it was so detonator for me, because talk about Karma, about God. It what i remember sorry, i'm a donkey girl. 

HpS :What have you learned are the priority things to save when your Karma, Destiny put you in Chaos?
I learned to never leaving aside my religion pples [Apples?]. Do more for Srila Prabhupada. And depend more of Krsna. All He do is Good.

ps. attach a SP print screen thats he talk about take disciples. Thanks for accepting me as one.

HpS - ASA - I think ASA / NIOS names can be O.K. as "Participation", no? Honor.

We read the citations about. Théodore Flournoy. Does he have followers in your circle? Would they like, "The Teachings of Lord Caitanya"?

Nice fotos!!!   Thank you so much. Go ahead!  Trust your dreams!!!!! (Of Krsna)....

Todas las glorias a Sri Sri Goura Nitay!!!!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!

Todas las glorias y mis más respetuosas reverencias a sus pies de loto querido Gurudeva!!!!

                ASA - Pies de burro.

Espero se encuentre muy bien de salud, el Señor Nrsimha lo proteja en todo momento.

Disculpe no haber escrito antes,  la mayoría de mis días son como correr en una maratón, pero estoy muy agradecida por todo lo que estoy aprendiendo cada día, pase mi primer semestre en la universidad, fue díficil sobre todo porque tenía muchos ramos dificiles para mi ( biología, química, anatomía), este segundo semestre ya me familiarice con estas materias asi que se me ha hecho más fácil y me ha ido muy bien ( Krishna siempre me ayuda en la pruebas ;)  .

En cuanto a mi reporte 16 rondas/4 principios aunque debo decir que cuando estoy en examenes algunas veces he tenido que recuperar las rondas al día siguiente, esto no me gusta así que estoy tratando de que solo sea en ocasiones muy excepcionales, sigo con mi servicio fijo en el templo los viernes cocinando a las deidades ya llevamos 7 meses, la próxima semana nos cambiamos  de casa, es en el mismo terreno de mis padres, asi que estamos en un período de cambios internos y externos, esparamos aprender de todas estas nuevas experiencias.  Nuestra vida es aveces extraña Gurudeva...Krishna nos esta dando experiencias y oportunidades muy buenas para crecer espiritualmente. 

Tengo una pregunta Gurudeva como puede uno ayudar a aquellos devotos que están alejados, o que sienten que Krishna los ha abandonado?? pregunto esto porque con otras devotas nos gustaría apoyar a las madres que necesiten ayuda...

ASA - It is very personal. Everybody is different. So we have to help them in different ways. Main thing is to call on the telephone. Do service together. Make some thing together for a festival. Send Prasadam.............................................................................................................. ! .

Se despide quién aspira servirlo con el corazón

Alankriti Devi Dasi

* Se están organizando reuniones para organizar el seminario de educación, espero poder servirlo de alguna manera en el servicio que ud realiza con tanta dedicación y amor.

 *Mis hijos Manjari Y Giridhari están muy bien, creciendo y aprendiendo muchas cosas, la Manjari quiere estudiar Astronomía y Teología cuando crezca, espero poder cuidarlos bien Gurudeva ellos son mi mayor responsabilidad y trato de ser una madre amorosa y comprensiva, y a la vez poner limites y explicarles el porque de las cosas, ya que a mi cuando era niña no me decian el porque de esto o lo otro, ese es sin duda mi mayor servicio.

HpS - ASA - Muy bien. Muy bien!!!!  Busca ayuda de otros!!!

Hare krishna querido Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias, AGT Srila Prabhupada, y Sri Guru Parampara.

Como se siente Gurudev?

        HpS - ASA - Like a Pig! Who "Hare, Hare, Hare Krsna..." chants.

Yo aqui, bien, ya falta un mes para terminar el año en la facultad, muy dificil, pero somos buenos en eso. En este momento estoy espiritualmente raspando, estoy negligenciando sadhu y Guru, no porque quiera sino porque la facultad me lleva mucho tiempo, y tambien vivir en un lugar ajeno, donde hay cierta correspondencia de tiempo en el "hogar" .. estoy descepcionada conmigo, y siempre recordando antes de venir aca, sabia lo dificil que iva a ser , recibo mucha asociacion del mundo y eso es como una droga..mi mentente no esta bien, me cansa, pero seguimos, siempre me cuestiono si no estoy siendo sovervia.. quizas deba irme al templo, pero tambien me cuestiono si eso no seria esquivar a mis deberes...mientras tanto sigo...y voy a seguir. Mis rondas estan bien (16), es un gusto poder recordar a krishna, Mis 4 principios estan muy bien; sigo con el canto II del Srimad Bhagavatam en la escuela Vaisnava, y eso me sostiene y me hace bien.Volviendo al tema, siento que negligencío su asociacion misericordiosa por japa joe.. no puedo despertar, todos los dias pongo el despertador y no puedo..  como puede ser que me pase esto.. usted todavia sigue aqui, y no lo aprovecha , realmente soy un loco ignorante. Me siento  agotada, mi dia comienza a las 5.30 y termina a las 20.00 contando el tiempo de comer.. aveces mal. Japa en el bus (3 hs de viaje por dia), pero no es una buena meditacion / medicacion..Los sabados quedo triste por no asistir a su clase, pero es el unico dia que puedo descansar, el domingo tengo clase del bhagavatam temprano y por lo general los fines de semana me la paso estudiando.   Asi es mi vida de asno .   Lo bueno que rescato de esta situacion  es que se me fueron muchos fanatismos,y siento mas misericordia en mi ... un poquititito. jej 

Lo esperamos para el  Ratha yatra .. muchas gracias por venir, espero Nityananda y los devotos me dejen servirle.

     HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna. Your life is too complicated, no? Put your rounds first. If you have to work less and get lower scores, that is O.K. Put your rounds first and very quickly you will have clear idea how to improve the other things!

Get up early and get your rounds done.

You seem to be doing really well for your level of development. Now next step and then next step and then. . . .  (Kuruksetra!)

hare krsna gurudeva!!!

mis mas humildes reverencias,todas las glorias a srila prabhupada

Espero y deseo que cuando lea esto se encuentre bien de salud!oramos ara que asi sea.

le escribo para darle mi reporte.Hace un tiempo no le escribo ,tube muchos papeleos con la universidad pero estoy feliz de poder escucharlo y tener su asociacion en japa joe.

HPS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. This letter is one month old! We were traveling in USA and too busy for mail!

las rondas han estado bien,algun dia con mas dificultad pero cantando todas,los 4 principios perfectos ,estudio el bhagavad gita y nectar de la instruccion.Intentando esforzarnos cada dia un poquito mas.

HpS - Muy pronto va a jugar con Krsna y otros.

En todo el mes de verano no tuvimos programa en el templo porque como son poquitos y en familia se fueron de vacaciones a ver a la familia por eso a veces cuesta un poco tener la mente quieta, necesitaria mas asociacion con devotos y poder hacer servicio en un templo, realmente pienso que lo necesito. Tuvimos la visita de yadunandana swami y pudimos hablar sobre que hacer para volver a empezar con un templo nuevo ( los hindues se apoderaron por completo de el que los devotos construyeron)e intentar hacer harinams,festivales y escuelas de domingos para niños de colegios .Hacer cursos de cocina y repartir prasadam por la calle.pactaron puntos segun prioridades pero no se ha vuelto a hablar de el tema,en la proxima carta, le dire como quedamos con todos esos proyectos en el aire.

Esperamos poder servirle pronto en españa

que pase lindo dia de janmastami y perdoneme por todos los errores que cometo,esperamos poder servirle pronto por españa.

mis mas humildes reverencias,su burra sirvienta Mani-sati sita dd

HpS - Muy bien noticias. Y ya que pasa? Si, tiene que orar a Krsna para mas devotos y mas grande comunidad. Como esta La Hermana y La Madre? Reverencias al Presidente del Templo. Como se llama?

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp,

most of our associates are below 35, which makes mind think lets enjoy...

.but by associating with you we do realize that old age comes for every one, it gets worse year by year, and finally we are born again (if we are not serious)....
thank u

in node 4303 ur grace himself wrote

"We love to drown in self-pity.Give ourselves rewards for our suffering, but it is all little pig like pleasures that don't even satisfy us but we try to make ourselves so stupid that they do."

Any news from the Christian association?
the whole family had some Visa Problem, so they had to move back....they are back in New Jersey, and husband will do to fro journey b/w New york (office)and new jersey(home).. just for happiness of family.. so that the kids and wife can stay with old grandma in new jersey....we have definiteky learned from him, sacrifice a married man has to make to keep his wife some sort of happy.. ..

he also did to and fro journey from office(N carolina) to church (S Carolina) for years.....i dont know why we got to see only them as examples of  family life...

Thesis?
it is going in right direction, but slow.

family ?
the biological expansion is 2 yrs 8 months.. he can catch   krsna easily.. Lord Ganesh is Elefant Krsna.....krsna does not wear clothes except pants so will he ..... krsna's mummy make him run when he is completely nude (damodar lila) .... krsna steals butter.....and in jungle u find krsna (dhruv).
 his new smiling verse is "om namo bhagavte vasudevya"

wife is more becoming Brahman realized, able to see hand of god in gifts she gets ........

sense control...
vacho vegam control is better, krodha vegam control  is better, rest all are dwindling

O!!! Holy Sage.. please bless us that we can realize that happiness in this world is by sense purification not sense indlugence..

HpS - ASA -  Thank you for the news!!! Nectar!  The best cure for addiction is to Chant Hare Krsna all the time you are being forced by your senses to indulge in it. Rapidly you see why you need it!!!!

Hare Krsna dear gurudeva

Pamho AgtSP

Forgive me for not having writen you for so long, i just not wanted to bother you without having something good to offer to you, i even had a insident with a Godsister because she insisted me to write you, i know she was best intented, still i cannot think of the idea of writing you just about my anarthas and lack of push for the movement, or itinerant ideas of my mind.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. A short note: We are stupid but trying, is nice to receive!

Now i have something concrete to speak, i returned to Mexico temple since 31 may to prepare myself to take more care of the devotees that are appearing in Queretaro due to the Bhakti Yoga reunions i told you we started in december, thanks to SP mercy they are 7 young boys and girls which are eager to develop Krsna Consciousness in their lifes.

We have already had a difficulty with a "old devotee" who is very very nescient and does not want to cooperate with temple authorities, he confused many of the youngs there, still we allready worked on that. That took us to the decition to prolong my time in the temple at least until january, because its a VERY HEAVY responsability to try to take care of others when we are not yet very fixed devotees.

HpS - Putana represents the "false guru". Everyone has to face her and get past her poisoned milk by there sincerity. Your young people have to do that also. Of course, I don't know the old devotee. Maybe he is very sincere and confused etc.

Mother Gopi Radha knew i have some english skills so she asked me to do some service by trying to translate the student and professor manuals for the sanskrit course from Goloka education, so i accepted and mother Lalita Gopi gave me copies from the ones you gave her. Each day i try to translate a bit and a bit, please bless me so i can serve your beloved disciples.

HpS - ASA ----  STOP!!!!!!   They are doing BIG translation program in Peru. Through Asta-sakhi get in touch with Patraka or Laksmana or Candra mukhi and co-ordinate with them. You have other service to do.

Sadhana has been very difficult for me, i just cannot manage to reach at good time to mangalaratik and keep awake the whole rounds and SB class... i just can do one or other, or both very poor... like reaching 5 mins late to mangalaratik and half sleeping at some rounds or class... Thanks to the mercy of the holy names, im improving more and more, this week i havent fail to any program, i hope to reach the nicest standard soon

Formally i want to ask for your permission to go to wherever you are for your Vyasapuja, this week i will go for my passport, then if its needed i will go and get my visa, i just need your permission and blessings for this, and then i can make whatever i need to do to get this accomplished.

Thank you for taking your precious time to read this letter, thank you for all the mercy you have kindly bestow upon me, thank you for all the effort you do each moment to keep on the preaching to please Srila Prabhupada, even at the cost of your own health, May Krsna allways have a special place for you.

Your dumb apprentice:

Krsna Kirtana Dasa

HpS - AgtSP. So nice to hear from you!    We don't know where our Vyasa puja will be. It is like 24th or 25th of December. More news soon.

Go ahead with your war on sleep. We have the same problem.
