Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Guru Dev, In last letter, you have asked me to what i think about BG 17.15 and Puport and how it
    applys in my daily life.

    BG 17.15 Teaches, We should speak - truthful, pleasing, beneficial, and not agitating to others, and
    also in regularly reciting Vedic literature.

    Truthful : I am a strong believer and follower of this. Because without truthfulness we can not
                      approach Lord.

                      Chaitinya or Krsna is in our heart, he knows every thing very well that who is honest & who
                      is incorrect.

                      if we are cheating some one by telling lie, Means we  are actually cheating our own self,
                      not the person.

                      we impure our self by doing so. Whenever we speak lie, we pollute our self. And this
                      pollution drag away our self from Lord.

    Pleasing  : No, Have to work on it. I have to put lots of hard work for this. Because i speak very
                       straight.

                   ASA - Try to think how the person to whom you are speaking will perceive what you are saying.   Will they be able to understand what you are saying our will the violence of your words cover the message?

    Beneficial : Yes, we speak.

    Not agitating to others : Many time my words agitate others. Because i speak very strait. Which
                                                 people don't like.

ASA -  Krsna is not straight.  He wandering on the banks of the Yamuna.  Do you subtley enjoy hurting people with knife like words?   It is a question we ask our selves many times!!

    Regularly reciting Vedic literature : we always like to recite from scriptures.

    Please advice.

your servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

           ASA -  You are an extremely nice person....  but as you know you must purify, not abandon, your words.  It is better to have a wise man for an enemy than a fool for a friend, it is so nice to have one you doesn't flatter us.  Vibhisana was talking to Ravana giving straight advice.

PAMHO,AGTSP,
Jay Hanuman,  hello to TB, BW and UG who help you a lot in your activities.

              ASA - AgtSP   paoho....    Whoop!   Whoop!,  Oink!  Oink!, e=mc*2

Your glorious self are hard to found

                    ASA - Because by illusion we are bound,

, even if we spend every pound, vist the world all around, in our life which is time bound.

ASA - To mundane sound..

...you have appeared as sun in our life, otherwise we were living only in strife.

              ...with our kittens and wife.

you have given so much to this horse, even though it troubled you very coarse.
                            ..  neigh  nay..
we pray that your legs get treated finally, but seeing your sadhana level in such state, we find a soldier in you who continues fight even after serious injury. Hail HpS!!!!!!!! Here is our tiny report..
Sadhana
1. Attempting to apply the 130 am formula, and the 8 golden words. But finding practically difficult as horse likes to sleep. but struggle is going to apply this formula. 4 rules intact- we cant beleive it, but some how they are being followed without difficulty for a passionate creature like us.

                             ...   we could not get up in the morning early as long as we slept in our bed all comfy.  when we moved to a mat on the floor that became the morning time door.

2. We had domestic violence incident from horse's side, after which we went to pyschiatrist. He told us our brain is too taxed. He gave us dopamine and other happpy hormone, he also tried to reduce Adrelanine. by those pills we had heavy sleep demand by body 14-15 hrs a day for a week. in such time our eating was fine, but our chanting & reading was heavily effected, we got back log of around 72 rounds.
To cover them up we have increased rounds to 19 for 24 days [72/3]. I dont know if this would break our commitment for chanting daily 16 rounds. If yes please advise what can be done when we are under medication or surgery.
                            ... think you can find the same result in diet etc.that you get from the homones.   but take practice.   just chant as much as you can, all the time. chant during domestic violence.     should stop it quickly...  {:O)-
3. we are not able to chant good rounds in  morning, but we can chant good rounds in afternoon. so we have the dilemma [chant rounds early] versus [chant good rounds] , what should be the priority.

                     ...  good rounds.

Services:
1. we are thinking of making ppts and offer it to you as you can use them like. some of the titles could be what is time, what is dream,  etc. 

2. we were thinking to prepare a small write up on  your presentation on "philosophy of nature" and present to Former president of India who has worked Indian Defence Research centres. He would appreciate it but for this we need your permission.

3. we eagerly want to serve you btu we are such a quagmire that we can not commit any thing to you. But if there is some thing which is not time bound, please allow this horse to carry that.

---------

                     ... contact Dr. Samaresh  regularly and work with him.   working with people is like learning to work with the mind that Krsna has given us.   Look for the essential motivation for your PhD work or move to something else...   ...   adelante!!!   Jaya!       ...                  President of India is O.K.    Ask Dr. S.
we are reaching death gradually and we would die one day. we hope we can make tangible progress and can atleast serve as he desires, before that. please dont hesitate to use your whip, though we know you are merciful.

aspiring to be discplined by you

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las Glorias a usted querido Gurudeva

Querido Gurudeva por favor acepte mis reverencias, le escribo para reportarme, continuamos firmes en nuestros deseos de ser mejores sirvientes. Estamos cantando mínimo 16 rondas 4 principios estrictos. Las radio terapias, causan cada vez mayores complicaciones corporales… pero estamos tratando de seguir nuestro Sadhana lo mejor posible. Muy muy motivados por su ejemplo que usted nos da!

Estudiando regularmente el Srimad Bhagavatam y continuamos con nuestro servicio fijo de guirnaldas, de lunes a miércoles. Siento que mi Sankirtan ha disminuido mucho, no es algo que me agrade.  Hable con prabhu Aristasena para que ver si me permiten participar en programas especiales de ASA Kids y me dijo que si =). Entonces esperare sus instrucciones.

Por otro lado, luego de mi participación en ASA Kids, siento un gran compromiso para con los niños de nuestra comunidad…  y me gustaría mucho poder servirles. Durante mi participación en ASA Kids, aprecie que hay muy poco material de apoyo para la instrucción de nuestros niños, bueno al menos no en español. Por eso quiero rogarle me indique ¿Usted cree que sea adecuado que trate de estructurar algunos libros para los niños de distintas edades? Para ello podría contar con el apoyo de varios Vaisnavas con distintas especialidades para la edición y  estructuración de los libros, ya he platicado con algunos de ellos que están ansiosos de participar. He planteado este deseo a Madre Asta Sakhi y ella me sugirió solicitará la opinión de Usted.  Incluso hemos pensado que podríamos solicitar ayuda de madre Priya Sakhi de perú. Pero antes de cualquier cosa me gustaría mucho conocer su opinión e instrucciones al respecto.

Le ruego me disculpe por las ofensas cometidas y quedo a sus órdenes, intentando ser una discípula de verdad, eternamente endeudada con Usted y Srila Prabhupada.

Su aspirante a sirviente

Espero se encuentre usted mejor....al parecer este mes es de extrema purificación,

           ASA -  AGTSP    paoho..   Good news..

....muchos devotos enfermos, en mi caso estoy enferma hace como tres semanas, y todavía no me siento mejor... lo que más detesto de estar enferma es que mi mente se vuelve terrible,

                  ASA -  Oink!    Oink!                Whooop!       Whoooop!

...quiere controlarlo todo, he pensado mucho en esto, porque en el momento de la muerte qué será de mí si con un resfriado no soy capaz de sobrepasar mi terca mente?

                    ASA -  Ha!     Ja!!!       JJa!!!!   Es un hecho...

Bueno...aún así cantamos las 16 rondas diarias, 4 principios estrictos, servicio semanal en el templo, lectura no tanta como quisiera, pasatiempos antes de dormir....muchas cosas que hacer y yo aveces sintiendo que no soy capaz de hacer nada bien

                            ASA -  Eligir su prioridades con cuidad y Krsna cumplira la demas.

...Gurudeva, espero verlo pronto y poder tener su santa asociación la necesito, aveces sentimos que no tenemos fuerzas para nada, pero sé que de una u otra forma debemos seguir, aveces siento que no tengo ni un poco de amor por Krishna y los Santos Nombres, ni por nadie, la verdad es que soy egoísta,

                           ASA - Si, es un hecho...

perezosa espiritualmente,

                         ASA -  Si, si, tambien un hecho..

y mi corazón es duro como piedra

                                 ASA -  I don't think it is that hard.   MOre like and automobile tire...

... no soy capaz de darme cuenta de toda la misericordia que Krishna me da cada día <img alt="crying" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.gif" title="crying" />
