Letters to the editor

Dear Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Today is my first birthday, after you so kindly accepted me as your disciple today, one solar year ago. The fact of the matter is that i am doing (practicing) vani-seva. There are days that i wish to have personal association, but at the same time i like the background, for i know that i am foolish, quarrelsome and falsely proud, and it would show and hurt my foolish pride. Then again, revealing would purify me faster that it happens now.

Sometime i have some small questions, but then i don't wish to bother you with them here. Or i think about them for a day or more, and then get a satisfying answer somehow or other. Todays question for instance, if milk creates fine braintissue that you need for spiritual understanding, whereas in gita it is said that knowledge comes from Krishna, and knowledge is functioning in the subtle body which milk cannot influence. How to reconcile?

HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. As we would understand it the mind, subtle body, can use the finer brain tissues, just like you may have a color picture on your computer screen but it is different when you can print it when you have a color printer. In our conditioned life we are absobed in our gross body so even though we may have subtle assests we can recognize them unless they are manifest on the gross platform.

These are small questions, but perhaps important enough, these little doubts on the path. Generally, i make progress, a little, day by day. I feel it. It makes me happy and strong and more determined. A few times my daily program got messed up, but nothing serious, and the irregularities lasted at the most about five days. It is certainly remarkable after my hedonistic years, and the messy life it left me with. Many little encouragements and adages i picked up from your classes remain in the back of my mind, and i feel the intimacy of vani-seva that way. This is my wealth.

I'll stop here, though i could say more. I just wish to say that i am very happy to being your servant, even though saying that doesn't really have the implied corresponding feeling. Perhaps next year. Still, i remain,

Ever your aspiring servant,
Raghava Pandita dasa

PS. With unpleasant emotion i take note of your uncomforts and bodily ailments, but i take solace in knowing that the suffering of a devotee is not of this world, and i take it as such. I wish you are fully transcendental to it all. I am happy to read your reports of sankirtan, and i know many details and things can hardly be communicated, such as your contributions to ISKCON's education. I feel happy for all who will benefit from that. Please forgive me for my silly or improper remarks, my Dutch brazen rajas. I beg you for your blessings to become fearless, loving and tactful in spreading Krishna consciousness. How could i not beg from you, even though it feels superficial and sentimental?

With kind regards.

HpS - ASA - Happy Birthday. How are your wife and child? Are you driving Taxi? We are trying to develop some Sankirtan that will be exemplary so that it can be of some inspiration in your efforts also. Beyond that if you have any specific suggestions or contributions to what we are involved in, then please let us know.

For the body, allergy, chest cramps, arhythmias, we take it as just regular functioning of the machine. It has to be adjusted and of course growth and death are natural. Death is disassembling the machine to be used in producing another machine. Thank you so much for your association. It is very enlivening to all of us! How is you Yatra? Are you involved in communication?

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

Please acept my humble obisances

All glories to Srla Prabhupada.

sankirtan is necessary to live so we went out on Saturday to nearby villages .

nectar is studying the books , we are doing a campaign to promote the study of books , I would like to know what you think about Dear GM bhakti Shastri .

             HpS - Jaya. AGTSP. Is very nice. We have our Study Guides. Really is nice just to read the books in association with other devotees. Then automatically your system of study will develop.

GM I want to serve you well but these senses are very attached to material enjoyment constantly biting me and keeps me in a fluctuating state with my rounds and my service, in this unfortunate situasion not to be a pure devotee but also be by maya full . please explain to me how  should i do to get spiritually advance  ?

HpS - Just what you are doing. There is not special trick. Ask devotees who live with you, see you often what you should do. Of course, Krsna's in your heart (BG 10.10-11) so He will also give you advice.

Your eternal servant

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja PAMMHR

I hope that this bill is well your health, on this side of the world begins and autumn, in the cold mornings and hot afternoons, the earth is constantly moving for their tremors.

I am currently working at the airport, through shifts, it easier to get up at three or four o'clock.

chanting my rounds before brama muhurta, except that I have night shifts. following four principles. worshiping the deity home.

I request the authority some time ago and the service in the temple treasury, can be perceived as krsna controls everything and surrender to his divine plan. How I can be so good treasurer?

     HpS - ASA - - 1) Be sure the money and other Temple valuables are safe.

2) Keep record of where ever penny comes from and where every penny goes to.

3) Make reports based on 2).

4) Make Budgets based on 3).

Cooking for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada for festivals. Very cute party Caturdasi Nrsimha. Abhiseka, kirtan, class and prasadam. good association with devotees and family. How to interact better with the people through preaching?

             HpS - The best way to preach is to listen from your heart to people. Then as you are Krsna-conscious you will respond naturally with the right comments. You must stay pure and filled with SB.

...if Krsna wants, to have the desire to visit Mexico in June for the Vyasa puja of SS. Busana Bhakti Swami, the spiritual master of my wife. Please blessings.

          HpS - Very nice. We hope you can go and see other things also.

With you in the mission of Srila Prabhupada

Raga sindhu das. Santiago de Chile...

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP

PAMHO

I hope this meets U in really good health and please forgive all the problems and anxiety that we give to U ¡¡¡

I am very hurt by gossips and talking behind my back but instead of became discouraged I feel more energized in order to become more and more a better tool in order to help our Beloved Srila Prabhupada 

So here is my quick report that enthusiastic DEVOTEES are very anxious to hear

I wake up by 1:20 am then I go to work while being there I read SB, or BG or listen to clases on my MP4. I do not go to discos my mother does not allow me. I am at home by 10 am so then I can wake up early. My service I have to be honest is not so good right now I am very fragile and all affect me very much but as I told U now I feel more energized so I will effort more and more to try to please Gaura Nitai with your help and blessings ¡¡

I have 2 Bhakti sastri students they are very nice ¡¡ 

I am learning how to play harmonium I like to sing and I will participate y 6 hours kirtan etc Chanting the holly names is really blissful

I also taking yoga classes my astrologer told me that my nerves are really bad and I need to do that I took my first yoga class yesterday really nice ¡¡¡

             HpS - Yes, to much stress and you will go crazy. I know. I am amazed at how liberal Srila Prabhupada is with us. He always says that Krsna is very generous and I can see it more and more. How much work can we do. We have physical work, psychological work and social work, which involves politics which can be exhausting.
So, work hard, eat a robust diet, get lots of fresh air, sunlight and exercise. Chanting, Dancing and Feasting with like minded people. I like you mind. I am glad to hear these clarifications of your position. I get advice from my Godbrothers all the time that I have the natural faults of a Sannyasi. I am to simple and straightforward in what I communicate. I have to realize what things to put first and make them a little bit clearer, not so simple. I have to take to explain the context in which I am reading Sherlock Holmes. Another Sannyasi would understand but for ordinary people the context has to be explained. If not there will be gossiping and it is really my fault for showing my life to the public and not giving it a public perspective.

About other topics I do not know if it is absolutely necessary to tell U, I sometimes go to the movies with devotees last time I went with Rohini kumar das and all his family then very very rare concerts and then I just go to work then go to give spanish classes then return home and sometimes have lunch with friends devotees that's 't ... This is what I am doing right now.. That is my report this is a typical candramonkey's day. 

Please give us your blessings in order to continue with Utsahan 

Thank U very much for your daily association and guidance and please kindly forgive my stupidity and pride

ALways trying to be your disciple

HpS - We are reading so much in the SB about Maharaja Priyavrata, Agnidhra et al. Do you think you could marry them and enthuses them to become President of Peru and make Hare Krsna a State Religion? Did Maharaja Priya vrata go to popular movies. I think he did, the Lion King, etc.
So, I think with a little adjustment you life is ideal and people who are criticizing you should apologize as they understand the real facts AND you should accept their sincere apologys. >>>

Hare Krsna Hanumat Presaka His Holiness Swami, You accept my humble and respectful obeisances along with my best wishes .

I have a question for you:

Now I have a sincere desire and possibilities of introducing me , but since I'm in Cordoba, I have some problems , we asked the authorities of Córdoba to give me a recommendation. A devotee for which carve Deities and assist in the Ratha Yatra initiative , unresponsive and others say no more give advice to anyone. There are a devotee of Bs As he has no problem in recommending me because it was in charge of the temple of Buenos Aires when I lived there. But the authorities suggests that where we are right now give me a recommendation. This saddens me a little, because I see a very bureaucratic position and affecting my service. I wonder if I can help the devotees to ratha yatras more manifest in Argentina , or elsewhere, thought carve for Mar del Plata, but apparently should help alimpiar bathrooms or kitchen 1 and thus could initiate me . I have no problem doing this as I have previously eçhecho (though I'm now a little serivicio conditioned with my father for space - time), but I wonder to myself: If the power and ability that turns me Krsna so , rather than invest in something that he would love to speculate Srila Prabhupada , see a Rathayatra everywhere, then there could initiate me because they support me, I quedra Krsna not in ISKCON ? I will not be a devotee as Vritrasura demon? , I'm a little frustrated with this situation. Do not worry, try to continue carving voya Deities with Your Blessings ! , Jay Srila Prabhupada ! ! Hope your suggestions .

I hope not to inconvenience or annoy .

 HpS - ASA - AGTSP. Paoho. The translation is only about 70% understandeable. Please send in Spanish and English both in the future, O.K? We are dull-headed. In general, if you are chanting 16-enthusiastic rounds and following the 4-principles strictly under Srila Prabhupada's authority and trying to work with the ISKCON GBC et al, then you are following his discipline and you are his disciple.

We are certainly very very happy to be of any service to you as Siksa-guru etc.

Ask Maha-hari Das in BsAs for his opinion about the situation. We should be able to resolve any bureaucratic problems quickly.

Hare Krsna!!!

Jaya, Jagannatha!!!!
