Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

I start writing this letter (12/21/23) in Cabildo at my parents' house and today I made my first Arati Manga [ala] after a long time.

I undertake to resume the ideal sadhana, since that pleases you very much and is of great benefit to my spiritual progress.

Please give me your blessing to maintain this over time.

So far getting up early is what has cost me the most, I was already able to control my tongue better, in a preliminary stage.

HpS - Yes, have nice lunch so that we do not need much dinner, then go to bed early and get up early and become healthy, wealthy and wise.

This year was perfect, duality will always exist, and little by little I want to become transcendental to it.

To honor and dishonor, happiness and affliction, satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

It was a perfect year since spiritually I have been able to sustain myself over time and materially many doors have opened. A year of much learning.

---

All year I have been following the 16 rounds and the 4 principles, and I was also able to finish the rounds I had to do when I was hospitalized.

ASA - ❗🦁 For Krsna!

I was able to do sankirtan and meet incredible people because of it. The preaching projects have been developing and for that reason I feel happy.

I was able to show my devotional music to other people and it is attractive to them, I think I am on the right track.

HpS - We hope that people can protect you. You need help in that, no? Very strong people.

Krishna allowed me to play at an important music show called Rockodromo a few weeks ago and also be able to share the stage with a renowned Chilean musician named Daniel Muñoz, it was incredible.

I have already finished my digital communication studies and I hope to soon start working on it, hand in hand with my artistic development.

My case in the congregation has already taken its first steps and I wish to be a gentleman in this process in order to remedy the situation.

I have been able to be constant with the study of the sastras with the group of devotees with whom I study, I continue to learn English little by little and also verses from the scriptures.

For a few months now I have made an effort to only take prasadam, I still offer a flower and incense before my altar, sometimes only mentally.

I trust that Krishna will always give me what I need, I have proven this in practice. Over time, the understanding of the scriptures becomes something alive, something that is verified in experience.

Thank you Gurudeva for always being with me, always, I hope to be a faithful servant at some point, totally dedicated to the Sankirtan movement.

Your servant

Piyari Mohan das

HpS - Again. We hope that very strong devotees, Matajis and Administrators take charge of you. Help you.

Hare Krishna Querido Guru Maharaja,

Espero que se encuentre muy bien.

Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada.

Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Hare Krishna, recién le envié mi informe y en los días siguientes le enviaré mi ofrenda.

Le cuento que he terminado los estudios y estoy por viajar a visitar a mis padres. Mi sadhana en estos últimos dos meses decayó bastante, quizás por falta de enfoque. Aunque este año terminé de leer el Srimad Bhagavatan y memoricé bastantes slokas, la asociación con los no practicantes (no devotos) puede arrastrar. No al punto de volvernos irreligiosos.

Combinado con que las visitas que tuvimos aquí en Govardhan no pudieron conectarme. Vinieron a visitarnos 7 Gurus: HDG( a Mar del Plata), Mahatma P., Danvantari M., Yamuna Acarya M., Maha Vishnu M., Bhakti Sundar M., y Purushotraya Maharaja. Sin embargo, no tenía ganas de verlos y cuando se dio una pequeña interacción con algunos, no fue de mi agrado. Siempre en su posición natural de exigir, y yo haciendo un montón de esfuerzos para resolver mis cosas. Quizás al estar cubierto por las gunas estoy menos tolerante. Así que al final decidí solo participar en algunos encuentros en los namahatas, pero nada de participar en los festivales. Ya son 20 años de festivales. Y muchos que lo necesitan

Entiendo que estoy en un periodo astrológico lento, sade sati, que termina en febrero de 2025 y que hay cosas que se tienen que acomodar. Sé que parte de esta intolerancia y enojos son la lujuria y la ira que siguen operando y me cubren. Confío en que en el futuro, cuando termine estos estudios, pueda enfocarme más en mi sadhana y otras actividades Trascendentales

Mientras tanto, estoy haciendo algún trabajo, e intento escuchar el Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta y Kirtan, sabiendo que la mente pasa por estos vientos cada tanto.

Estoy por viajar a Ver a Mis Padres y después voy a Bs As, pienso esto va a renovar un poco mi espíritu

Seguimos con el Servicio de Pujari, y nos mantenemos ahí

A Su Servicio Adi Yajña Das

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru Maharaja,

I hope this letter finds you in good health.

HpS - The Sun is at 5.02PM here. It is cold!!! and dark!! Kind of like being in hell but we are happy writing letters and having like 12 of 17 rounds done.

Our body is probably like yours.

Eyes, ears, respiration, heading for recycling! 🙂

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Hare Krishna, I recently sent you my report, and in the coming days, I will send you my offering.

ASA - 🐷👍 👍 👍 

I want to inform you that I have completed my studies and am about to travel to visit my parents. My sadhana has declined quite a bit in the last two months, perhaps due to a lack of focus.

Although I finished reading the Srimad Bhagavatam this year and memorized many slokas, association with non-practitioners (non-devotees) can be dragging, though not to the point of becoming irreligious.

Combined with the fact that the visits we had here in Govardhan couldn't connect with me.

Seven Gurus came to visit us: HDG (to Mar del Plata), Mahatma P., Danvantari M., Yamuna Acarya M., Maha Vishnu M., Bhakti Sundar M., and Purushotraya Maharaja.

However, I didn't feel like seeing them, and when there was a small interaction with some of them, it was not to my liking.

Always in their natural position of demanding, and I, making a lot of effort to resolve my own issues.

Perhaps being covered by the gunas, I am less tolerant.

So in the end, I decided only to participate in some gatherings in the namahatas, but not in the festivals.

It has been 20 years of festivals. And many need it.

I understand that I am in a slow astrological period, sade sati, which ends in February 2025, and that things need to settle.

I know that part of this intolerance and anger is due to lust and anger still operating and covering me.

I trust that in the future, when I finish these studies, I can focus more on my sadhana and other transcendental activities.

In the meantime, I am doing some work and trying to listen to Srila Prabhupada's Lilamrta and Kirtan, knowing that the mind goes through these winds from time to time.

HpS - We have similar experiences. When we are in the mode of goodness. we try to make lasting progress so that the mode ignorance has less and less influence on us each time. then we can extract Nectar from Poison, no?

I am about to travel to see my parents, and then I will go to Buenos Aires. I think this will renew my spirit a bit.

We continue with the service of Pujari, and we stay there.

At your service, Adi Yajña Das

HpS - Thank you for the news!!!! Seems you have your head down in the storm and are pushing forward. I think your parents will have good advice for you from their efforts in their spiritual life also.

Srila Prabhupada has set so much of a spiritual current in motion and people have taken advantage of it.

Maybe people are realizing that all their wars and bitcoins are not working and that ISKCON has something to offer. They learn how to get the covering off the nut and get the essence out of ISKCON.

Push us to become good!

Thank you.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja. PAMHO AGTSP! How are you doing?

HpS - AGTSP. First, we are happy to get a chance to hear from you and now after week be able to read your letter!

I hope you are just fine,

I hadn´t written for a long time,

HpS/ASA - Yessss! 😦

I 'm just fine.

I have had some dreams about you, I just wanted to offer my respectul obeisances at your lotus feet. I still live with Baladeva & Subhadra in Xochimilco,

I hope you can get back over to have a nice program,

I went to the last Ratha Yatra Festival here in Mexico City,

I just wanted to let you know I think about you and the first time I meet you and I saw a real sanyasi.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! it is "Sannyasi", not "Sanyasi", no? San = Complete and Nyasi = Renunciation.

In Vanaprastha seems a man renounces gross relations with his wife, but in San Nyasa he even renounces subtle emotional relations and gets married to God! 🙂

I am eager to see you again soon, I hope you have a great Vyasa Puja Festival. How is Hanuman and Lord Nrisinhadeva?

HpS - Very nice! Our friends. Send pictures of your altar?

16/4?

Baladeva is now a brain surgeon?

Your usless servant,

Jagat Bandhu Jagannatha Swami Dasa

P.S. Such nice photos. Thank you! Vancouver! We added BSJagannatha.



Pleaase Adored and Remenbered Gurudeva!! Accept my humble obeisances to Your Lotus Feet🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🌹🌸🌹🌸🌹🌸

All glories To Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to You my beloved Gurudeva!

HpS - Lobo feet.

Hoping this finds you in better health and happy in your unwavering Govinda consciousness. 

First of all, I would like to ask her [your] blessings for my 102-year-old grandmother, Rosalina Tineo, who recently left the body.

I ask for her beautiful prayers for Her.

I was never able to talk to Ella because she only spoke in Quechua, but I heard that she was a very selfless woman and dedicated to her family. Franco says I look like her physically😁 there I sent him a photo of her.

HpS/ASA - We will look at the foto and chant HK/HR for here help and hope others do the same!! Wonderful! We hope she blesses us.

 katyayani Vrata :

This month is always wonderful for me because I remember her class and the mantra that You gave us: katyayani mahamaye..! so now I made it in clay as always but inside the greenhouse. Franco says that she is afraid of... Katyayani 😁😁😁 I am offering her roots, leaves of fruit trees and very delicious aromatics. I hope she is pleased with me. I tell you that I come in your name and with your permission and that I only wish to follow in the footsteps of the beautiful gopis.

🇮🇳💖🇮🇳💖🇮🇳💖🇮🇳💖🇮🇳💖🇮🇳💖🇮🇳💖

There was a fire in front of our house. The small green hill in front was burning. We frankly remember the pastime when Agni eats the Kandhava forest.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

While uploading the Damodarastakam video, I saw the YouTube link that You shared about the dirty carpet and the extra cleaning...!!! incredible!! I hope we can clean our hearts completely in this life... I am ambitious with these things🤣

HpS/ASA - Yessss. It was incredible!!! So much dirt but... Under it was a valuable carpet!

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

My mother sent me the photos that I shared in my previous letter of my graduation. I wanted to tell you that Srila Prabhupada actually won that graduation! I was studying hard for about a year and a half while I was preparing my thesis, I remember that I lived in the Wilson temple. and the only three questions they asked me in the final oral exam, I answered literally from Srila Prabhupada's books!! It was very incredible for myself! I realized that Srila Prabhupada's books really prepare us for Everything! and they are The Doctorate among Doctorates!! Jay Srila Prabhupada!!

HpS - More. More. More! Good student. Good Teacher. Good wife. Good Mother (85%

😏) 🙂 Some room for improvement.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

We saw only His first movie Peru. very beautiful, the part that I remember the most was the Govardhana hill seen from above... Krishna's face from there is so beautiful. We hope to see the other movies soon.

My Preaching💖

We have sent two letters to two districts to hold events. We had no response. We went to find out. Result: busy with political matters. At the beginning of next year they will receive proposals.

Thanks for telling me about Houston, I would really love to go to Verlo Gurudev... I hope I have the fortune to go.

 I am very happy with his appreciation of the video to Damodara and my song to the Divine Grace of our dear savior Srila Prabhupada.

 I take my Dance service as an offering to You Gurudeva and Srila Prabhupada. My desire is to serve ISKCON by making other people aware of Krsna consciousness. I think that just as Srila Prabhupada approved that the song of Mother Yamuna was heard... I am allowed to dance.

 Thank you for all Your inspiration Gurudeva ❤🙏🏼

Srimad Bhagavatam:

 I thought...why don't I ask questions?...

 The stories of the Bhagavatam are pastimes to teach us and to learn but they are very elevated associates of Krsna and they act as if they were us to teach us...what can I question?...

 I just want to learn...

Please help me if I'm wrong. thank you.

Franco

Frank offers His obeisances to You. Once again he feels uncomfortable speaking in public here, but he would love to talk to you.

HpS - Send a few words by WhatsApp, no? Yet, people here are pretty nice. I guess they are all vegetarian, don't eat people.

He has a question: When he makes the bhoga offering: who should he serve the offering first: Krsna or Balarama who is the elder brother?

HpS - As far as I understand, first we ask Guru, Subhadra/Radha, Nityananda/Balarama to let us make the offering to Their Krsna.

🌳🌷🌳🌷🌳

We continue with more Projects, Your Vyasa Puja is coming!!!! jayyy!! What would you like me to offer you?

 What services should I increase?

 What flaws do I have? I'm not afraid of him telling me about them in public.

Please forgive me for any offense in this letter. In the next I will tell you about Gopal.

There is a photo with my translator in Pandemia especially for Your Gurudev Blog: Sara Morey. She is a writer.

Please accept obeisances to franco and Gopal.

trying to serve him, please him:

Radha Japa Prati Jalpa Devi Dasi

HpS - AgtSP. 16-rounds, 4-rpinciples!!! Try to act out songs with dramatic, not just ornamental gestures, no?

Thanks to all. Even those escaping from the burning forest.

🙂

Tuvimos una reunión con las autoridades del templo, Madre Asta Sakhi DD y mis padres, en donde del mismo modo que mi antigua reunión, aun no tenemos fecha para la carta de recomendación. Se considera adecuado un año más si todo fluye de manera adecuada.

Seguimos cantando mínimo 16 rondas, seguimos practicando los 4 principios, llevamos en casa un pequeño programa matutino de adoración en casa, realizando servicios de guirnaldas y todos los días en la Boutique Radha Krshna del Templo de CDMX.

Respondioendo el devoto Caitanya Nitay es mi novio.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

All Glories to You

HpS/ASA - Maybe.... maybe... a few glories to us.

My most humble reverences

We had a meeting with the temple authorities, Mother Asta Sakhi DD and my parents, where, like my previous meeting, we still do not have a date for the recommendation letter. Another year is considered adequate if everything flows properly.

We continue to chant at least 16 rounds, we continue to practice the 4 principles, we have a small morning worship program at home, holding garland services and every day at the Radha Krshna Boutique of the CDMX Temple.

Responding, devotee Caitanya Nitay is my boyfriend.

HpSwami/ASA - We would like to hear from him about his Sankirtan etc as he has time. Seems like you may be bother very lucky, like Devahuti and Kardama Muni.

We have the email address [email protected] and the telephone number +52 5538...

HpS - With some effort Tom Brown, Secretary for ASA put them in our Contacts!

Hari Bolo!!

Hk querido Gurudeva al fin puedo escribirle, el león saltó hasta la finca de Brihuega, la casa de Radha Govinda Candra, es como lo soñé, gente muy comprometida con el servicio devocional, buen estándar de pujari, clases, prasadham, Maharaja Yadunandana un super líder, un hermoso asram muy tranquilo, hermosa naturaleza, y un frío intenso sobre o bajo cero, llevadero por las comodidades del lugar.

Mucha ayuda de mis compatriotas, muy agradecida con ellos. Es gracioso las Yasodas de Tilda y España, son como mis ángeles de la guardia. Arreglos de Krsna. En Lima servía al Señor Jaganatha y aquí el Krsna también es negrito y grande, muy hermoso. Sus bendiciones para poder servirlo pronto.

Prometí este año estar aquí y aunque hubo muchas pruebas de todo calibre, como la partida de mi papá, gracias a su ayuda pude recuperarme rápidamente. Lo logré! Misericordia de Krsna.

Como brahmacari me siento muy a gusto con actividades espirituales desde muy temprano, más si es en grupo, uno se entusiasma, así que mi vivienda esta sobrecargada de una atmosfera espiritual gracias a sus bendiciones.

En la tradición católica hay muchas monjas, en la nuestra la mayoría de mujeres creen que su vida se resuelve casándose, para mi es una bendición tanto, tener hijos o no tenerlos, casarse o no hacerlo.

Es bonito ser brahmacarini, esa es mi naturaleza, libre para servir donde Krsna me mande.

Desde que vine me regulé en el uso del celular, menos prajalpa.

Le pido sus bendiciones para distribuir muchos libros, de alguna manera debemos generar ingresos para pasajes. Es muy diferente que la gente de Perú, vi a un devoto que le va bien, cuento con que a mi me ocurrirá lo mismo.

Estoy con muchos devotos peruanos y algunos que conocí en latinoamérica.

Me ilusiona saber que pronto vendrá, mientras nos veremos en Su vyasa puja.

Jay Gurudeva! Hay tanta gente a quien agradecer. Empezamos el año nuevo, en nuevo Yatra, nuevas deidades, nuevos amigos, nuevo hogar, camino de vuelta al Supremo.

Feliz año nuevo Gurudeva!!!

Hk dear Gurudeva, I can finally write to you, the lion jumped to the Brihuega farm, the house of Radha Govinda Candra, it is just as I dreamed, people very committed to devotional service, good standard of pujari, classes, prasadham, Maharaja Yadunandana a super leader, a beautiful, very quiet asram, beautiful nature, and an intense cold above or below zero, bearable by the comforts of the place.

A lot of help from my compatriots, very grateful to them. It's funny the Yasodas of Tilda and Spain, they are like my guardian angels. Arrangements of Krsna. In Lima he served Lord Jaganatha and here Krsna is also black and big, very beautiful. Blessings to him to be able to serve him soon.

I promised to be here this year and although there were many trials of all caliber, such as my father's departure, thanks to his help I was able to recover quickly. I did it! Mercy of Krsna.

As a brahmacari I feel very comfortable with spiritual activities from very early on, especially if it is in a group, one gets enthusiastic, so my home is overloaded with a spiritual atmosphere thanks to his blessings.

In the Catholic tradition there are many nuns, in ours the majority of women believe that their lives are resolved by getting married, for me it is such a blessing, to have children or not to have them, to get married or not to.

It is nice to be a brahmacarini, that is my nature, free to serve wherever Krsna sends me.

Since I came I have regulated my cell phone use, less prajalpa.

I ask for your blessings to distribute many books, somehow we must generate income for tickets. It is very different than the people of Peru, I saw a devotee who is doing well, I am counting on the same thing to happen to me.

I am with many Peruvian devotees and some that I met in Latin America.

I am excited to know that he will soon come, as we will see each other at his vyasa puja.

Jay Gurudeva! There are so many people to thank. We begin the new year, in a new Yatra, new deities, new friends, new home, path back to the Supreme.

Happy New Year Gurudeva!!!

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. I think that all of ISKCON is changing! Some places sooner. Some places later.

After years and years and years of struggling with own minds and senses and the social problems, we seeing a result.

Maybe Daivi varna ashrama Dharma is really developing.

Of course, it is all a Battle of Kuruksetra in this world, but we do want to see the Pandavas win!!

Our respects to all.

Hope you get a wave of book distribution, with many partners.

Repectst to the very senior ladies there!!

We are russsshhhhing to the temple for sunday festival.
