Letters to the editor

He could have been on any dust road in Mexico, in his old small pick up parked under a shady tree.  But we are in urban East Dallas on East Side Avenue on a hot Sunday afternoon.  His name is Polo and he's a mariachi, a Mexican musican.  He is very taken with us for he keeps smiling, his eyes shining bright on his worn tired face.  He graciously accepts Karma la Justica Infallible.  The Maha Mantra brings him great joy and he can not contain his smile.  

We come upon a young Indian couple.  A work crew is renovating their newly purchased home.  They have heard of Radha- Kalachandji Dham but have yet to visit.  A beautiful hard bound Bhagavad Gita now resides in their home.

Twin girls about ten years old are having a great time playing under a sprinkler in their front yard.  They have on matching suits and goggles.  We approach their father in the driveway at his vehicle.  He is interested in Sri Isopanishad and all are fascinated with the changing body picture.  Mom is inside but sends out a nice donation for a book in Spanish.  Everyone receives a mantra card and we have the best time chanting together.  

We decide to move over to the corner market, Mercado Mexico.  Mari is heading to her truck with her husband.  While the men speak I present to her Karma la Justica Infallible, explaining the profound wisdom and relief from material existence it contains.  I complement her on her lovely pink flower earrings telling her how pretty they are, very eastern.  She is flattered and thanks me.  Then she asks " does this have anything to do with Ganesh?"

"Are ya'll across from the laundry mat?", "The church on your right, just before East Grande?" are common questions we get while on sankirtana.  Years of distributing Srila Prabhupada's books and Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji Mandir have had such an influence on this city.

                 HpS -  Wow!    AGTSP    You and Misra Bhagavan Illo have been getting the highest nectar because of your courage.  Courageous gentleman, courageous lady...  How is life in the Temple?   Do you live near??

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

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

This is Bhakta David from Denver, we spoke just before you left for your flight to Idaho.

Currently, I have to work at 7 AM so I must leave the morning program at 6:35 AM during japa, and finish my rounds later in the day. Is this acceptable for someone aspiring to become an aspirant? >: )

Your servant,
Bhakta David

                HpS - Yes.    Prabhupada is reported as doing 4 rounds as soon as he got up.  4 before breakfast (about 9am in India). 4 more during the day. and last 4 before he took rest when he was living his married life!!    Good to hear from you.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada !!!

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja ! por favor acepte mis reverencias a sus pies de loto !

               ASA - TlgaSP...  Pies de manzana!

Por fín le escribo por éste medio...luego de varios meses...

Básicamente... le quería decir que.. en todo éste tiempo sólo estoy tratando de ENTENDER COMPLETAMENTE que tengo que hacer un muy buen Sadhana para poder llegar a hacer algo útil en mi vida....karmicamente hablando mi vida está bastante estancada... sin un proyecto claro..sin un plan claro sobre qué hacer....

Estuve hace unos meses bastante mal de salud, con problemas para caminar, por la gracia del Señor Krsna tuve acceso a un buen tratamiento y estoy mucho mejor...como un 65 % mejor...pero, aún me faltan varios meses más de terapias....

Por ahora sigo viviendo en la casa de mi familia, en Lima....quería mudarme para Chosica, pero debido a las terapias me estoy quedando en Lima....

Bueno, Gurudeva, sólo quiero estar muy fija en levantarme temprano, luego de varios años de experiencia, es un hecho, la mejor hora es empezar a cantar 1 : 30  a.m  o  2 : 00  a.m....cómo usted siempre lo ha hecho...es lo mejor....!!!

Jaya Gurudeva !  Muchas Gracias por toda su misericordia para conmigo !!!

Espero que se encuentre bien...

Hare Krsna !!!!

              ASA -  Jaya.  Al maximo 4AM, Prabhupada dijo.  Es bueno tambien.  Descanza temprano, levanta temprano, terminar su trabajo temprano!!  Vida feliz!!          Choseeka, devotos...

HAribol!! beloved Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Here we are in Mar del Plata, chanting 16 rounds and following 4 principles strictly (and we are very determined). Morning program 50% and deity worship we have to enhance but we are working on that.
Two days ago my former wife told me that she was cheating me during our last year of marriage and that she is in love with this guy who is a meat eater, separated with one children and now he is wating a baby with another women. So i do really realize how much i have been blessed and that this is nothing but the mercy of SP upon me.
I`m doing bhakti sastri with mahajan prabhu and many devotees here in mar del plata, we are doing it with Bhurijana Prabhu`s surrender unto me, yesterday i was studying BG 2.14. Tolerance
So at the present moment i´m 50% of time with my children and very busy in service, cleaning, cooking, ironing, working, no time for stupidity.
In a previous letter http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/2848 you told me
Illicit sex conditions us to suffer in the future. So this whole situation increased my faith in guru sadhu and sastra.
In the preaching field i continue with the ayurvedic counselling and with the BHakti Vriksa program which is amazing, seeing how people are advancing, beautiful,the mercy of MAhaprabhu is unlimited.
 I am very aware of your activities and plans for travelling, and I`m willing to cooperate wether you come or deepen your writing. Pesonally i feel like involving in projects that will last in due course in time, i see so many things starting to end within a very short time. To improve this i consider your work at MED is essential. Where can i find more info about this program you are working on A Bhakti sastri for each temple?. I see that many devotees base their spiritual life according in what they hear from others but not in what is it in SP`s books. I have read your essay MED6may and i had had hard time opening the pptx files cause i have an older version of power point so i have to borrow another computer and modify the files. I loose some animation in the process but i guess the most important is there.
Regarding the funny news here are some pictures of the amazing deeds of the glorious Panca Tattva Prabhu. He now is building the bramachari asram at Sri Govardan and living there and he has built the b`chari asram at El Loft,and so he has to increase the height of the water tank and he managed very nice with a couple of pallets.
Thank you so much gurudeva for your example and loving care, your instructions are my salvation;
Willing to become your servant;
Bhakta Nicasio.
 

             HpS - ASA -  AGTSP   paoho   YOu can see from the DTC that we have been down and out with virus for two - three days. Hope it is going to be better now.   Your letter is very nice.  Ladies can have strong minds and weak intelligence, but natural inclination to chastity, being attached to one man (Daddy, Husband, Son). When they put these together properly they can live a GLORIOUS life, no?   In any case, because you are steady in doing the right thing, for your wife it will certainly be light-house in her life and your kids will see what they want to see also.

Just live your life well.  That is a preaching platform that's hard to beat!

    Yes...      AGT Panch-tattva Constructors!!!!!!!!!!
