Letters to the editor

Hare Krisna dear Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thanks for your answer. Yes, i told You that my spiritual master left but You get lot of letters daily and i was inattentive and didn't send You the antecedents so sorry for that :(
Now i left here our last post it's easier to follow.

Maharaja, i understand siksa is more important than diksa and i respectful accept Your opinion but since i don't have diksa guru You are my only shelter.

     HpS - ASA -  Jaya...  Who was your Diksa guru??? He left his post???   In that case there can be anothe ceremony to fix the relation.   It is very individual and real thing is to get this clear understanding of things.  Then we can be an unstoppeable team, spreading Lord Caitanya's message.

I joined in 1993, got first Initiation 1995 and second 1998. My spiritual master was Balabhadra Prabhu (formerly Bhakti Balabh Puri Goswami). He was always very personal with everybody and dealt with the devotees a lot and after a time He neglected his sadhana and became weak and He started to make mistakes. He is still a devotee because joined Gaudiya Math and got sannyas again from Paramadvaiti Swami. I pray for Him but i don't follow Him.
You wrote me so many times it's not necessary to get initiation that now i think i understood to follow Your instructions is more important than reinitiaton.
And i feel i'm not good enough to get initiation. I like You so much and i don't want to cause You problem.

After Srila Prabhupada You are the most important person to me in Iskcon.  
I feel You care about me but i would like to know i'm your diciple (siksa). You said i can meditate on You when i chant gayatri mantra so i do it, but You didn't say i can chant your pranam mantra, therefore i stopped doing it. It's strange when i offer bhoga i don't offer through You, and i don't call You Guru Maharaja. I miss these things but i don't want to speculate. Or just have to do it? I don't know...
I'm sure Krisna tests my persistence but please tell what shall i do in this situation!
You said few letter before sometimes better to stay in our yatra and if there are problems we try to solve those and make better the community.
So we are still here in Hungary and try to do something. I'm not qualified but nowadays more and more mataji come and ask for help and guidance from me and i feel it a privilige and maybe Krsna has a plan with us here...it will turn out.
 

                HpS - ASA ---  Jaya...  What is your situation.   From whom you received Mantra?  Who was your Diksa guru....    You may have told us be we are dull headed and it is full of windy spaces!!

My situation is: i'm the number one nobody in our yatra but i would like to be the servant of the servant.
I live outside of the temple with my husband and we try to maintain ourselves. I learnt to sew and bought an embroidery machine so i would like to start a small business now. My husband can work from home also, He writes business plans and essays about financial topics. We live close to the temple and take part on Mangala Arti everyday and i preach and distribute books once a week.
I know You are very busy always so i don't want to bother You with my letters. I'm happy if You write DTC and answer to the devotees because i always learn so many things from Your answers.  I got  everything from You what i need to make progress in spiritual life i just have to realize those.

I hope we can meet if You will be here in Europe next year.
Thanks for Your association and kindness.

Your servant,
Sri Radhe dd

         HpS - ASA -  Jaya!  Now things are so much more clear in our stupid brain. So, if you want to get re-initiated we could take that service. Some devotees want it some don't.  We don't feel it is so necessary if the Diksa guru was properly representing Srila Prabhupada at the time of initiation.     Beyond the super important instruction of following our ISKCON vows and keeping full morning and evening program, we would certainly hope that you can send us news of your situation, Yatra, your Sankirtan with devotees and out in the public!  Thank you very, very much.
For Europe, it is getting fixed. We will be in Radha-desa from February 6-16th, then from April 30th to May 27th.

Hare !!!

By the way, what is DTC?

Warm regards,

         HpS - ASA   ----   AGTSP   Tku for YOUR letter. Actually the book and letter are from Tom Brown, Monkey. He is like Vice-President of our Anjana Suta Academy (ASA).  The ASA Web-page, which explains everything, is www.jayarama.us.  We can't place you. Even from your esteemed foto?? !?      Do you live near Srivasa Pandita Das???    Did we visit your home?

        Do you know this verse: "adau sraddha..."

DTC stands for Diary of a Traveling Creature.   It is produced by Monkey. He like Indradyumna Swami's Diarys of a Traveling Preacher and then started his DTCs.

Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada !

Todas las Glorias a ud Guru Maharaja ! 

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja , si soy yo , el que tuvo la grandicima fortuna de poder estar con Sri nrsmhadeva. 

Le cuento que el domingo 7 instalamos a Sri Sri Gaura Nitai en el templo, son grandes y  muy hermosas. La instalacion fue de Kirtan y muchooo Prasadam. ya que son de Nim y no hubo avishek.

En lo particular estoy muy entuciasmado con el proyecto que hay aqui de la finca en sierra de los padres. el cual esta yendo llevado acabo bajo la direccion de Mahajan Das. mi deseo es poder vivir alli con todos los devotos de la congregacion . por lo tanto estamos colectando para adquirir un terreno.

Quisiera saber si hay alguna posibilidad de que venga a Argentina ?

Muchas gracias por su atencion.

Su eterno sirviente  Bhakta gonzalo

                 HpS - ASA -   TlgaSP!               Jaya!               Pienso podemos visitar a Mar/Argentina al minimo una vez mas en esta vida, atraido por sus buenas cualidades y oportunidad ver su proyecto transcendental en Mar!!!!     Por favor mas noticias poco a poco!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada¡¡¡

Todas las Glorias a Usted¡¡

Querido Gurudeva por favor hacepte mis reverencias a sus pies de loto.

    ASA - B. White, Pesunas de Loto.   TlgaSP!

Sigo esforzandome  para cantar mis 16 rondas diaria mente, 4 principios y mangalartic 5 dias a la semana ya que son los dias que permanesco en el templo por mi servicio, sigo cocinando de Lunes a Viernes para Sus Señorias Sri Sri Radha Madhan Gopal las ofrendas mas fuertes del dia,

   HpS - We know a lady in India. Sakutala devi dasi.  Disciple of Gopal krsna Goswami.  Her husband was big business man and one of the 20 leaders of the Dehli yatra.  Every day for five years she would travel with a driver from her home to cook the Raja bhoga offering for Radha Partha sarthi. About a 45-minute trip each way!!!

...ahunque las pruebas son muy duras y dificiles segumos intentando poder prestar un buen servicio hace unos dias he pasado por diferentes dificultades en cuanto a mi servicio pero por su miscericordia  y de Sri  Krshna SS Guru Prasad Swami nos visito por una semana y en verdad pude sentir como si Usted esubiera aqui, me preguntaba como es que podemos desarroyar ese amor por lo devotos ese deceo de servirles sin ninguna motivacion personal y el no sentir malos sentimientos hacia las personas que por alguna situacion han sido el objeto de nuestro karma para enceñarnos algo bueno, pero que nuestro ego es tan fuerte que no lo vemos de esa manera y solemos ser un tanto ofencivos. Querido Gurudeva por favor perdoneme por molestarle yo se que usted esta muy ocupado pero realmente esta es la situacion por la cual estoy pasando en este momento yo no suelo molestarle con estas cosas pero esta prueba esta siendo una manera de pulir malas actitudes y neglijencias en mi vida espiritual y quisiera su consejo ya que sin su proteccion no soy nada en este mundo.

Su aspirante a sirviente Saranagati Dasi 

        HpS - ASA  - I passed the same problems in the Temple in San Francisco when I was  a new devotee.  When the NOI was published it helped me a lot!   Text Five!   It gives very nice summary of how to relate to devotees.    That is the essence of Goloka. How to relate to other devotees.  Even Balarama and Radha-rani are advancing Their personal relationship in how to serve Krsna, so don't think it is a little challenge.  It is the biggest challenge, but it can, therefore, be the most interesting challenge.

So, read, study, NOI 5, and look for more answers in your regular reading of all of Prabhupada's books.  Then you will be able to see those ideas in your daily life, the Super Soul with instruct you.

¡Mis respetuosas reverencias a Sri Krsna Caitanya!

¡Mis respetuosas reverencia para Srila Prabhupada!

¡Mis respetuosas reverencias a usted maharaj!

Soy David de Chile.

               HpS - Jaya!   Con quien esta trabajando?
