Letters to the editor

Respected Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

I came to know through Kapi-Dhvaja newsletter that you were remembering me, my life is successful, if guru remembers the disciple, that's it, my material existence is over.  Guruji! please know that you live in our chitta, the innermost chamber of the heart, there is no day that I don't remember you, may be 20-30 times in a day I remember you, whenever anything auspicious or inauspicious occurs to me, I immediately remember guruji and Prabhupad.  The reason I don't write because I feel embarrassed, I am like a gloworm, and you are like a sun, there is just no comparison.  Even in this advance age, you are traveling, preaching so much that I always wonder that how you are able to do that, you are using your body to the maximum limit.  I read in your writings that how some times you have chest pains, missing heart beats or sometimes, you have some poisonous bile/wound, and still you go on, everyday full morning and evening sadhna and so much internet preaching and Bhakti Vaibhava and ISKCON Education programs and working with Dr. Bandopadhayaya and museum book, Havai temple class and personal consultation with so many devotees and answering the email and twitter and kapi-dhvaja and this blog and Carl Jung and Bhagvat, and then program at Nita-Gaur Prabhu's Ashram, there is no set limit, your transcendental activities are Seemaa-vihin-limitless, with whatever humility I have, I can just fall at your feet and pay you my obeisanes, let your service be glorified in the three worlds.

After spending more than 24 years in ISKCON, I still have hard time to follow the four regs and chanting 16 rounds, that's why I feel embarrassed, I actually feel it, that my guruji is so advanced and here look at me, unworthy disciple, nothing glorious.

Hari Leela Prabhu was here with his good wife and another devotee-Kuber Das, I had some opportunity to serve them, I hope they were satisfied with whatever humble offering we had for them.

Priya and children (Lakshmi, Govind-Nandini and Bheemsen) all do remember you and looking forward to have your association in near future, thank you very much, HARE KRISHNA.

I remain yours servant life after life,

Raktak Das

                HpS - AGTSP!   You have to solve these problems! What is it going to be like in the spiritual world without you?

Dear Swamiji,

PAMHO, AGTSP. I have been in Indonesia for over a year now. I have questioned a few of my Muslim friends about Islam. I repeated Srila Prabhupada’s words about reincarnation to a friend who denied the possibility of reincarnation and a week later she accepted reincarnation.

Muslims understand the Paramatma conception, but believe that God has no form because God is energy. Am I right to think that they worship the bhramajyoti? It seems like the analogy of worshipping the sunlight instead of the sun directly.
Your Servant,
Bhakta Ken

    HpS - ASA - AGTSP Thank you for the letter. There is a thing called "Mohamad's Mirage". Like the dream of Mohamad, may his name bless us. He goes all the way to heaven and sees Allah. Please find it and a link for us. It is common knowledge to most educated Muslims and accepted as a bona fide text.

Hare Krsna Maharaja,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

Wishing you are in good health. We are eternally grateful for allowing us to chant your pranama.

We beg you the mercy and blessings for continue in our service at the Bhakti Vriksha´s programe, under the direction of Omkara Krsna Prabhu and with the association of Jagat Pavitram Prabhu, Hari Sankirtana Prabhu, Bhakta German, Bhaktin Isabelle, Bhaktin Gumercinda and other new devotees, who are participating in the programme.

All glories to Nitay Gouranga !!!

All glories to Jaganatha, Baladeva and Subhadra !!!

Haribol

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho. We talked with Jayapataka Swami in Mayapura like March and he told us that after six months of following everything one is a "Refugee" and after another six months can take 1st initiation. So, I think you all about ready for initiation. Are you ready? Can you promise Krsna to chant good rounds and follow the principles for your whole life and become His friend again?

Toda gloria a Hanumatpresaka Svami

Tod gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencia

Hare Krishna Gurudev espero se encuentre bien, no estoy usando mucho Internet, Le cuento que:estuve en Chile tres meses de sankirtan , despues me fui a visitar a mis padres aqui en Argentina . hicimos un programa con los devotos de Bahi Blanca en Rio Negro, un amigo mio se hizo devoto y esta cantando las 16 rondas al dia y toma prasada,  ahora hace unos 10 dias que me encuentro en el templo de Buenos Aires, el cual extrañaba,  siempre me asocio com los brahmacaris,  y estoy haciendo Sankirtana, estoy estudiando  Mantras de La Bhagavad gita, termine de leer la vida de Srila Gour Kishor das babaji y Srila Jaganath das babaji, Me gustaria familiarizarme mas con el Nectar de la devoción, lei algunos textos del Doctor Kapoor, yde Satya Raja Prabhu, tambien termine filokalia cristiana(resumen). Estube leyendo  la primer parte del Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya lila hasta el capitulo 13, pienso retomarlo desde el Adi Lila cuando pueda, por que todavia no me da para entenderlo o aprenderlo, necesito tener mas Bondad, 

Pienso que mi deuda es el estudio con el Srimad Bhagavatam el cual pienso dedicar los años proximos

El viaje a India sigue en mis planes,  tengo que terminar de hacer toda la legalidad, pienso que mañana ya voy a estar haciendolo, solo me falta enviar dos emails,  en Julio es muy probable que viaje con Panca Tattva a Brasil para hacer Sankirtan por dos meses.

Disculpe mis ofensas querido Guru Maharaja,  por favor ore por mí.

Su aspirante a sirviente adiYajna Dasa

Siempre tengo con migo elNoI y por su misericordia puedo entender algo mas. Espero verlo antes de viajar a India

  HpS - ASA --- Super. TlgaSP. Paoho. Estamos pensando en que pasa con Vd. ayer. Todo su reportaje y planes son super. Solamente tiene que cantar japa sincero y Krsna en su corazon con confirmacion exterior va a comunicar Su opinion de cosas a Vd.

All the glories to Srila Prabhupada

please Gurudeva accept my obeisances

After your stay in Houston, Krishna allows us to travel to north carolina to the Sadhu Sanga retreat with devotees from Dallas, very friendly devotees. Awesome festival! much kirtan, prasadam and beautiful montains.

Now I'm in houston again, I think you already know. I really like it here. Be near to the temple makes me disciplined in my sadhana, mangala artika every day, japa, and SB class. 

I talked to Manasi G and some other devotees about the possibility to stay longer here and maybe get a job, the response has been favorable. Nitakishory mataji offered me to stay in her home. for now we have service in the pujari room and a little in the kitchen. CC and Subra are the best neighbors ever. I want to help the mother Subra but i dont know how exactly as a practical way, maybe go out to  distribute the school information.

continue our worship to lord Nrisimhadeva.

some Hispanic people who attended the opening wants kirtan program in their houses, we planning that for the next week.

Gurudeva, I do not know what is planning RadhaNila Madhava for me, i just ask for your guide to do it better.

waiting to see you in July, your servant Govinda Pramodini DD.

HK

HpS - ASA - Very nice to hear from you. Very nice news. Please stay there as long as Krsna desires. Of course, stay in touch with your people in Mexico. See you in July.

Esteemed Maharaja. Hare Krishna! Please Accept my humble obeisances. All Glories To Srila Prabhupada.
My name is Jacobo, but almost all devotees know me as Sadhana Dasa.

I am 41 years old. I had the fortune and the mercy to meet you the last year in Nueva Vrajamandala and to attend some of your classes. I belong to the group of Yoga in which was Dandava Das Prabhu and that began to asociate with the movement for Krishna consciousness about two and a half years ago.

I am single and I live in the countryside near Aranjuez, a town to 50km from Madrid. I made a temple in one of the rooms of my house where I daily do my Sadhana.

Almost weekly I attend classes with Dandava Das at his house since about four years ago and we usually read the Bhagavad-Gita.

Yadunandana Maharaja had the mercy to accept me as Siksa Guru about two months ago. I also consider Dandava Prabhu as my Siksa Guru and, just like Maharaja, they are an example and a inspiration to me.

I work as a graphic designer and I collaborate with the Bhaktivedanta Studies Institute since it began, making the advertising and designs for festivities and events. I also make the advertising for the Hare Krishna temple in Madrid where I also have the service of cleaning the Temple every Sunday after the program.

I have been following the four regulative principles for about two years and now I am chanting at least 16 rounds a day. I try to connect to Japa Joe whenever my job allows me and is very satisfying to sing and to listen the Saints Names of the Lord together with you and other devotees.
I´ve been considering for some time to take a step forward in Krishna Consciousness and since You are an inspiration to me, both by your example as well as for your preaching, I would like to take refuge in You if you accept me as a disciple.

I would like if you could please give me instructions that will help me improve my spiritual path and serve You better, as well as Srila Prabhupada and Krishna.

Thank you very much for everything. Greetings.

Your servant.

Jacobo.

             HpS - AGTSP Paoho.  So nice to read your bio-data. Have you read: www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt?

If no, then please do and giv us your comments.

We don't have any specific advice now but we certainly try to put all we can into Japa Joe and DTC and these letters/blog.
