Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Esteemed Maharaj, PAMHO,AGTSP
We got letter from manipu devotees to ur 108-mnp @yahoo.com id. we are not sure of your exact dates of Manipur travel as of now.hope they will become clear. krsna has plans , as living entities has his..your grace asked us some questions.. so we answer them...[they you were aksing nice questions to us -- u r real well wisher]--
 

q1-What is your plan for your Ashrama?--
ans- we dont have plan for asharama. becasue it is joint ashrama with espousa. we can not convince her of vedic standards.. so life is going on... as u told in one lecture varna asrama does not work-- it such gives black smoke only. so we are just chanting and hoping to establish better connection with super soul- vidya vadhu jivnam--and then follow that]. we are not setting any standard for ourself as grhastha. as it will demand things from our wife-- then she will feel that we are forcing her.. so better to avoid all.. better save ourself and let the real benefactor take care of our son and wife..

q2-The PhD is practical thing?
ans-apply calculation of mode of passion mind/intelligence it is very impractical thing frnakly the res problem is not clear neither the future. but this is the only occupation we can get little time in our debilating condition to chant some rounds and contemplate. we are hoping krsna may give some inspiration. we tried to corporate job - but were not able to regulate our life and were getting heavily influenced by rajas-tamas.. so we left it.. thinking we are son of rich man  our prime duty is to be good son- rest he will take care-so we see Supreme Personality of god head as father who will take care of Us and biological derivatives.. we have no other option thant to depend on him. though we know god help those who help themselves. but first help we want is able to increase standard of our sadhana. and rest leave god to take care.

          Got a standard for Japa each day?   Number of rounds?  --
standard is only 16 rounds, with best possible improvement. brother ass is very troubled, so we can not have anything regular.but the quantity 16 is what we strive for.. some times our japa means..[narayana please fix my tyre, some itmes it means please get me out of this mess, some times it is please tell me what to do,, so we have various meditation of our mantra]. we are hoping we get registered in ASA. 4 rules are intact by god's grace.

     Regular program of reading?    
we make sure that we do read the chapter of BHvai class on sat in english. so one chapter one week. everything else is variable some times there is krsna book, sometimes noi.. nothing fixed..try to hear prabhupada lecture.. we understood that book our basis for stupid self like us.so we need to associate with srila prabhupada to stay charged.

Association of local devotees??????????????????
this is rare because we are not able to find place for self in this big Ship by prabhupada in india as of now. chowpatty temple is good. but it is for good established grhastha materially job, home, etc. we dont have none. we are not able to find any one with similar pyscho-physical nature.. so practically we dont have any intimate local association.. but we do have good acquintances with devotee. we do for temple.
frankly we were thinking to learn spanish and get a prof job in peru and help u there. we find our place but it is in land of incas. so lets see what can we do..

please tell guru-parampara and god, we are inventing our ways to serve him, we dont how he wants us to involve in sankirtana yagya..but we are looking forward.
thankinf you American Swami, meeting you is the best thing happened in our life..
waiting to  get briddled>

           hps - ASA ---  AGTSP   paoho.  Manipuri devotes bought ticket Kolkatta to Imphal 6th March and are buying return 22 March.

Report is super.   4 principles and 16 rounds, SB every week!   We can adjust our efforts to help you better and take advantage of your help better since we know this.   Yes, VAD is bad in this age.  As you stick with the 16/4/SB   get up early   then it will become clear as DaiviVAD.   Arjuna engaged in VAD as his Bhakti yoga.    Things will become clear with wife and family.  Adelante!   Do you best on PhD.   Try to have fun with it and make some practical austerity, but again you are right Krsna has to do the VAD work at this point.   We do it at the time of 2nd inistiatioon.

all reverences to Sri  caitania maha prabhu
all reverences to Srila Prabhupada
Please accept my humble obeisances teacher

Hare Krsna dear maharaj, master I have a doubt about the soul, in the Gita says that the soul is indivisible and inmobible.
means that when you change your body everything happens in one place?, and in Goloka Vrindavan souls that have been released do not move? or the movement how here and is just an illusion?
please enlighten me with torch master knowledge
haribol maharaj. 

                Jaya!    AGTSP    ....  What do you think of this Text and Purport:

http://vedabase.com/en/lob/16

Hare Krsna Oh Holy Sage!!
You have been delivering many fallen souls in all over the earth. Working day and night just to reach out to more and more people. You are compassionate on others, and strict on yourself. We may have joked with you according to our level. Please forgive us for our grave offences we have done against you.

        HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!!!       You see only the good qualities in people and magnify them. We have also been attached to reading Sherlock Holmes stories in the name of "World Classical Literature".

...we have troubled you a lot over blog, skype and in person. But we may not have capacity to have any other fruitful relation with you. We may be taking advantage of your tolerance , but that is not our intent, but sort of conditioning.

Oh travelling preacher. we write to you in great trouble we have in heart. Please forward this message to Supreme Lord. We live in this kaliyuga were things are detoriating we can feel that our bodliy and mental health is taking toll. we are in grhastjha asrama where we dont have support or reminders of execution of KC. Our mind is un-controlled intelligence is weak. Jaundiced by avidya we dont relish holy name.
 

We are becoming conscious that death is coming closer every second, ulitmately we have to die. We know we can only attain perfection be mercy of lord. Karma-jnana-dhyana-bhakti, 9 stages of bhakti.. all this science esp which tells us stages of perfection.. questions us can we attain them in this life time. what if we dont!!! we have not even begun!! mercy is dependent on our endeavor , we feel we lack that endeavor..

not able to process is concern. but before process comes association. We are so rascal that we are very bad at relations- very low on emotions, we can not maintain relationships. we can not hope you to micromanage... but we are saying all this  to express our momentary seriousness and saneness... hope super soul -- dadati buddhi yogam to us.

our only refuge is holy name, all we can do is chant as much as we can, chant internally or externally work or no work... but dont know how much is practical... we want to write more...but we rest...can you give us some prescription out of your compassion on rascal like us....
regards,
insignificant acquitance.
  Horse Pradhana.

                  HpS - ASA --  AGTSP!!!!    BG 2.41 or so...  Nehabikramo naso sti....  on this path there is no loss or diminuition.   Even the Gopis feel that they are rascals who can't execute real Bhakti. Objectively you are in a difficult situation, but it could be worse. You could be in the West where animal slaughter and multiple "wives" is a common practice. You could have never come in contact with Srila Prabhupada nor his movement nor his other aspirants.  So, thing is to set some goal: eg. on Sunday stop and think, this week I will chant x-number of rounds every day.      Set a practical standard and then do it.  Also, associate like this in a regulated fashion.   Do you think it is not having an effect?           What is your Japa vrata?   For how long?    Tell the whole world!     Be a pioneer!

We are always grateful for your association and determination under such difficult circumstances.

All Glory to Srila Prabhupad

and all Glory to Sankirtan's movement by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

....please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet...

                (ASA - Lodo)

.... clearly my life depends on the mercy of you,

              ASA  -  AGTSP     This could be a BIG problem unless you include Prabhuapda as your Guru also!   

....if you like it I'll must continue chanting the Holy names;
through the good auspices have kept chanting japa by the grace of the association of devotees, surely we are very far from understanding what this means, but I try to understand.
we are taking some services for Ratha Yatra, we will if we have the mercy of their Lordships, giving host and taking contact of guests, we would like to maintain the correct association, not only reading, but in daily life, taking instructions and have friends. I have not understood the message of the acaryas however the bhakty Vriksa Program seem to me very necessary. cultive is task entrusted to us by the devotees, so personally am not expert in anything, and I just can keep trying. Please dispence my ineptitude and lack of proper communication, I hope to improve, however I depend on your favor, please, I hope that you will guide me.

your simple servant Aniruddha Krishna Das

               HpS - ASA  ---   Rathayatra donde????      What is your favorite book?

      Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, por favor acepte mis reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y Usted.

                   HpS -   !!!!!  Jaya!!!!!     Anandavardhana Das!!!             99.999% a Srila Prabhupada.

  Por acá estamos casi como siempre pero un poco mas feliz cada vez y eso ocurre por sus bendiciones.

Perdón por no escribir tan seguido, es que mi vida cambia poco, de la ultima vez que escribí lo mas importante es el HARINAM que organiza la madre Fernanda ( aspirante a dicipula suyo) cada 15 días es MARAVILLOSO, son 8 horas de Harinam y Sankirtan como con 20 devotos, gracias a Srila Prabhupada, cada vez llevo esas 2.000 galletitas Prasadam que parece me arrastran al mundo del SANKIRTAN, estamos distribuyendo ese pan integral cada vez en mas lugares ahora se llaman "MADHU", son como 3.000 cada mes, con un vendedor " no devoto" que sale a vender y así estoy todo el día en casa haciendo pan, leyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada, cantando rondas y asociandome con la familia, estoy feliz de poder verlo a Usted ahora con su cuerpo burdo en chile, mis reverencias  una y mil veces a usted que es muy bueno con el mundo entero. La familia está bien con Narotam la Maha anandini y todo el resto....

                  HpS -   Nos vemos en 6-dias!!!!    Distribuir tan mucho Prasadam, como puede ser un "no devoto".  Ha!    Ha!      Ha!!   Adelantamos.  Nos vemos pronto!!!!!!

DEAR GURUDEVA,

PAMHO ,AGTSP, AGTHPS!!,

I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER.

WE WERE TALKING, JAYANTA, POURNAMASI, BHADRA AND I ABOUT YOUR TRIP.

JAYANTA SAID, AND WE AGREE, THAT IF YOU WISH TO JUST TO COME TO MADRID AND SPEND YOUR TIME RESTING, OR WRITTING, WE WOULD  BE HAPPY.

BUT IF YOU LIKE WE CAN ORGANIZE SOME EVENTS, PURNAMASI GAVE ME THE SERVICE TO CONTACT "LA CASA DE ASIA" FOR A SIMPOSIUM, DO YOU ALLREADY KNOW THE DATES YOU WILL BE IN MADRID?.

         HpS - ASA -  We have suggested:
          May
          1-8  Mad(rid)  y Madre Tierra.
          8-15   NVM!!!
          15-22   Barcelona
          22-28   Radhadesa....

I BELIEVE JAYANTA WAS GOING TO CONTACT YADUNANDA SWAMI TO TRY AND DO SOMETHING AT THE UNIVERSITY( DE FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS) AS WELL OR INSTEAD(AS YOU WISH).

              ASA -  We can do both if they are effective programs.  Light of the Bhagavata is such a good platform!    But watch the Blog and Kapi Dhvaja for other projects.   Looks like this year was Socrates but next year will be the Song of Songs by Solomon in the Bible and the Light of the Bhagavata!   O.K?

JAPA JOE IS FANTASTIC!!!, NOW THAT FINALLY SHARAD HELPED ME TO START, I WILL JOIN  MORE OFTEN, AND BHADRA TOO.

           HpS - ASA -  You translated the book!

BHADRA IS GIVING SUPPER BG CLASSES,HE IS STARTING TO DO  THEM WITH WONDERFUL POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS.

THE GURUKULA IS ALSO WORKING SOOO NICELLY, THANKS TO PURNAMASI´S AND EVA´S EFFORT.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR CAUSELESS MERCY.

ASPIRING TO BECOME YOUR SERVANT.<img alt="" height="18" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" width="18" />

SANANDA DD

               ASA - Are you and Bhadra going to contribute a few children to the Gurukula or live a merry Vanaprastha life?  ?   ?       Have a plan for your life/Sankirtana?   Go to India?   Bhadra go to school and get a PhD in Education?
           Please let us know of any ideas for programs in Spain.  Can do a co-ordinated event between all three centers!     We have contact with Pedro Riba   www.puntoradio.com   Que piensas??
