Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna dear Maharaja.

Please, accept my obeisances.

Above all, hoping you are in good health. It's me, Germán again, from Lima Perú. I'm very glad because I am taking part in Omkara Krishna dasa's congregational preaching program. We are implementing this program in the JBS temple of Miraflores, planifying the new Nama-hatta and Bhakti-vrksa activities for the next year. Omkara prabhu has formed a team with expert devotees in this topic such as Hari Sankirtan dasa, Jagat Pavitram dasa, Jahnava Mataji and a copule of bhaktas with not very much expertice but a lot of entghusiasm! In the same way, my girlfriend, bhaktin Isabelle and myself are in charge of the web page and the graphic promo kit of the temple. These responsabilities make us feel happy, it's very nice to make seva for Lord Jagannatha. We all want to maximize the Miraflores congregation in the first place, and then after help the other temples to do the same. As you request me, here is somne photos of Mataji Gumercinda, Mataji Tania and myself. The next one is from our study group. Then a photo of Isabelle and I at the temple. Finally, some samples of my recent work: the first three are part of a series related to spiritual enlightenment through the manifestation of Paramatma and the Vedic texts in our hearts. The moth represents our pre-devotional state. I showed this work in october. The mudras and the lotus flower are part of a major series related to karma, vikarma and akarma. I´m working in it and hoping to finish it in one year or more. Thank you for reading my letter. You don't know how happy I got to get your last response. See you in december, Hare Krishna.

With gratitude, Germán

  TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRI SRI GAURA NITAI, TLGSP Y MIS RESPETUOSAS REVERENCIAS A USTED GURU MAHARAJA! 

MAHA HARI PRABHU ESTA MUY BIEN COMO SIEMPRE ENCARGADO DE LOS SERVICIOS Y CUIDANDO DE SUS DEVOTOS.... SI LEYENDO C.CARITAMRTA ADI LILA!!! SOBRE SRI ADVAITA AUNQE POR MI IGNORANCIA MUCHO NO PUEDO ENTENDER...ALLER ESTUVE LEYENDO EL NUEVO TESTAMENTO HACIENDO COMPARACIONES DE JESUS Y EL SEÑOR CAITANYA O EL SEÑOR NITYANANDA ¿TIENEN MUCHAS SIMILITUDES NO GM?...

            HpS - TlgaSP. Si, Predicando. Prabhupada dijo que Senor Jesukristo es nuestra Guru! 

Puede ver en la Biblia que era (es) una situacion muy fuerte, personas condenado por su Karma vivir donde no hay agua. Entonces TIENE que matar animales (y seres humanos) para vivir. Si, con la misericordia de un Guru puede adjustar mucho. Pienso aun mejor son los historias de los Santos. Posible Teresa de Avila, su libro. Pero muy bien es el libro Krsna!!!

Buena suerte con su predica!!!

Mas noticias del Yatra..

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada and Gurudev.

We very happy and absolutely ready to read Upadesamruta under your direction and to do the home work along with reading Srila Prabhupad's biography.

At present. I'm reading Bhagavad Gita and things which were not clear earlier, slowly revealing the true meaning. And also reading a bit Srimad Bhagavatam and Chaitanya Charitamruta (when they are referenced in BG).

Slowly experiencing the difference between "understanding" and "following/practicing".

Hope to serve the LORD and devotees with you mercy and blessings.

Your humble servant

Subhala sakha Das

              HpS - ASA - Very nice. AGTSP.  Paoho.  How is the family? Who is in the family? Who are your primary associates in Mayapura? How do you make your money. A picture and description of your home altar!!

Our ASA, NOI study guide is at http://www.jayarama.us/archives/tpp-noi.doc

What do you think of it?  Maybe you could edit it and we could co-publish it.

We get to Kolkatta on the 10th morning, February, and then get to Mayapura like 15th evening. We will stay until 24th, then go to Vrndavan and back to USA 1st March! [Lord Vasudeva willing]

Yessss, understanding is Jnana yoga and applying is Bhakti yoga. Of course they are very related, no? If you don't understand then how can you apply? What is family studying?

Hare Krsna please accept my humble obesiances all glories to Srila Prabhupada since i was a young lady i seeked your direction and now as an old lady i know it to be all i need i pray to Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji for that wonderful opportunity

all glories to guru and gauranga  your servant bhaktin aron illo

              HpS - Ha!  Ha!   Hare!!!!    How is your son? How old is he?  What family, very close friends do you have in Dallas (little bio-graphy/photo)?
Our advice: Get up early and get your rounds done.

Hare Kriashna!!!

Todas las glorias a Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias a usted GuruMaharaja 

Espero se escuentre bien de salud.

Seguimos 4 principios y 16 rondas fijas. 

Los devotos de Uruapan son: Prabhu Milton, él es psicologo esta acargo del centro de predica, ahora en Ratha Yatra va a tomar iniciación por parte de SS Bhakti Sundar Maharaja.

                HpS - ASA - Jaya!  TlgaSP!!   Prabhu Milton, Swami B. Sundar!

Tambien la madre Lizbeth esposa de Milton, El prabhu Edgar y el prabhu Abelardo, La madre Lupita estudia la universidad, su tía La madre Carmen, La madre Karla y sus dos hermanos, la madre Xochitl, ella es maestra y psiciloga, la madre Alejandra tambien es maestra tiene dos hijos, hay más devotos pero ellos son los más fijos, aun no estamos iniciados pero tenemos el amor por nuestro señor Krishna que nos impulsa para seguir adelanta. Hay más devotos que ivan al otro sentro de predica pero despues del secuestro de los devotos se asustaron y ya no han querido seguir. Estamos comenzando a estudiar el Upadesamrtha Prabhu Milton lo esta preparando todo.

En el centro de predica todos hacemos de todo, tambien estamos empezando un pequeño programa para niños, con manualidades, cuentos y juegos. cocinamos, limpiamos y algunas veces damos clase de el Bhagavad-Gita, con sus bendiciones podremos seguir adelanta.

Estamos planeando ir a las Universidades de la ciudad para dar algunas platicas, creemos que esta población puede ser favorable para el movimiento, ¿cree que este bien hacerlo? pensamos que los grupos delictivos no se encuentran en este sector y que además no corremos peligro. 

                    HpS - 'Luz de la Bhagavata' es bueno libro para base de predica en los universidades. Puede buscar en www.jayarama.us/archives "lob" y va a encontrar shows de powerpoint, guias de estudio, mucho. Por favor que piensa Milton de Carl Jung, Eric Fromm?

Por el momento me despido no si antes pedir sus bendiciones para poder seguir adelante, somos muy caidos y sin ellas es dificil avanzar.

Por favor disculpe las ofensas 

su aspirante a sirviente 

Bhaktin Linda Janeth 

               HpS - ASA - Si, muy buena suerte adelantando adelantando. Primero cosa es desarrollando habito levantar para brahma-muhurta!!!   Arati,  Japa, clase, kirtan, SB, prasadam.

Unos fotos de los devotos!!

Dear Guru maharaj,

Please accept my dandavat pranams. All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

I wish you recover soon and be healthy maharaj. Also, would it be possible to reduce travel maharaj.

I am in Dallas maharaj. I am planning to visit India for a week from January 17th to 25th. My mother booked a seva to Lord Venkateshwara couple of years back and we will get the oppertunity to do the service to the Lord on October 21st in Tirupati.

                 HpS  --------- Jaya!!!!!  Please chant "namas te narasimhaya... tava kara kamala.." for protection of ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada.

On the day I got your response to my previous email, I was going to restaurent with my work colleagues. I abstained from onion/garlic or anything which is prohibited by Srila Prabhupad.  The whole environment of the restaurent was quite disturbing, but by your mercy and repeatedly reading the email helped me a lot.

your servant

Nataraj

                              HpS - Find out the scientific faults of onion and garlic!
