Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Porfavor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada  y al Señor Gouranga.

Me da mucho gusto escuchar de sus reportes que se encuentra bien de salud.

Aun estoy muy agradecida con usted por permitirnos su asociacion en Mexico querido Maharaja :D que viene y nos comparte su asociacion tan importante, y por todo lo que nos viene a recordar y compartir de conocimiento. Gracias por su eterna e infinita misericordia por permitirme el refugio formal a usted, me considero muy tonta para comprender la magnitud del relacionamiento que empiezo a formar con su persona, pero en cada cosa que espero ofrecer a Krishna esta primero Srila Prabhupada y usted, quiero esforarme mas para lograr complacerlo, me esforzare.

Lamento mucho no haber podido despedirme de usted D:, tuve que ir a la escuela temprano eso me pone triste pero a la vez entiendo que los estudios universitarios no deben ser un problema en la conciencia de Krishna si no todo lo contrario, debe ser una aportacion muy valiosa a el movimiento y que debo aprender a complementar estas dos cosas con mucho esfuerzo.

Estamos cantando 16 rondas diarias utilizando metodos para mantenerme concentrada en el mahamantra como cuidar que cada mahamantra dure 3 segundos, :D, me ayudado muchisimo gracias gurudeva, siguiendo 4 principios, mi sadhana es de levantarme a las 5: 00 todos los dias pero ahora me quedo una vez a la semana en el templo, y realizando los programas mensuales de sadhana con los hermanos espirituales, continuo con el servicio de lavar parafernalias los jueves por la tarde, y  esforzandome en la universidad, pido mucho a Srila Prabhupada para que me de la suficiente inteligencia para poder desarrollar estos conocimientos en el servicio a Sri Krishna.

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja espero que todos sus proyectos continuen de maravilla, le mando unas fotos de las deidades que por su misericordia estoy sirviendo.

Buscando lograr un sadhana adecuado su sirvienta Bhaktin Zareth.

HpS - ASA -  Super.   TlgaSP  Ya esamos en Argentina.  Muy bien su Sadhana. El resulto de seguir los principios general es que comenzamos sentir un relacion particular con  Krsna.  No dejas solamente en seguir los leyes del Rey, pero advanzar entender el Rey como persona con rasgos!

Srila Guru-maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias sean a Sri Sri Jagannatha-Baladeva-Srimati Subhadraji! Todas las glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada!

Espero que se encuentre bien.

Febrero fue un mes muy similar el enero, lo mismo malo sadhana... Despiertando no muy temprano para cantar mis rondas. Necesito de utsah. Mismo com la constante asociación de los devotos en BBT y mismo con tanto “pracodayats” en el gayatri-

mantra no tengo inspiración para cumplir nuestra slogan “Rondas entusiastas temprano!”. Cómo puedo mejorar?!

El primer domingo del febrero no fuimos al principal templo adorar al Señor Jagannatha, porque el presidente del BBT Brasil pidió para ayudarlo con la ceremonia anna-prasana de su hijo. Todavía estoy engajado en el servicio para el Centro Cultural Vila Prudente y leyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada – 8º capitulo del Adi-lila de Caitanya Caritamrta, Sri Isopanisad, Krsna Book y también Divina Sucesión (de Rupa Vilasa dasa) .

Día 7 de marzo llegaremos (Prabhupada Priya y yo) en Buenos Aires para el Gaura Purnima y para tener su santa asociación consciente de Srila Prabhupada y Sri Caitanyadeva.

Muchas gracias por su atención, perdóneme por mis ofensas y mas una vez por el malo español (en Argentina voy a practicar mejor)

Su eterno y humilde sirviente

Gopa-vrnda-pala dasa

HpS - AGTSP   pfanrh.   Utsahan viene de intligencia.  Tiene que refleccionar en su situacion, cual es su meta en esta vida y una sendero lograrlo pasa por paso comenzando hoy dia!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Jay Sri Vrindavan Dham !

Dear gurudeva, accept all my pranams at your lotus feets.

A little delayed my letter, but following his last words.
Here we are, doing service in the temple, same programs, 12 hours kirtan with more donations(the last donation was a big pennon with 12 hours kirtan logo), cooking sunday fest, cocking and worshiping to Sri Goura Nitay, chanting and following 4 regulations, doing music lessons and recording a new cd.
I have some  questions guruji, i need your wise word :
-Can i play some Ragas when the deities are taking rest? perhaps in slepping time ?

HpS - AGTSP   paoho. As far as I know it is fine.  I heard that Srila Prabhupada wanted shanai and tabla in the towers at the front gates to Mayapura.

-Im recording some vedic mantras in the new cd, for example "vedic samaveda", in the last part are chanting gayatri mantra, the first line, can do this ?

HpS - As far as I know, no. The Gayatri is for personal Japa only??!

-I want to go again to India, but in this time i want study "Carnatic music"in Kerala(god hears me), but i dont know what i must to do? Stay in Chile is good, i have music student and a job (humble teacher),temple near, service etc.Maybe the family ashrama still is not for me, i have many artistic anarthas and i cant left the music.Im confused
As you see here I am still the same drowned, but with hope.
I wanted very much to go to Bs Aires but i must to work, dear Gurudeva would be great to see you soon.
Forgive my simple questions.
Im completely at your service.
Lalita Madhava Das 

HpS - Ooof!   Wish we could see you more often and give some advice. Yet I think if you just keep on with the Sadhana Krsna will make your choies obvious.  That is what I have done and it has worked for me.  Don't leave, don't deviate.  Krsna will make your plan obvius.

Album cover looks nice. Radha and Krsna seem to have suficient clothes.

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

Please accept my most humble obeisances and All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Jaya! How are you doing?

HpS -  AGTSP   Right now very weak but we will answer letters and then go to Arati!  Jaya!

Always wishing you are well.

As Adrian prabhu has probably mentioned to you, we attended our first Bhakti Sastri course this past Sunday headed by Sri Hari prabhu in Boise. It was very nice and I am excited to continue learning more! Already, we've only been through the preface of Nectar of Instruction and learned quite a few things I did not know before!

We're on our way up to the Salt Lake City temple today to stay in the house across the way. We're just waiting for Tracy prabhu with the truck to transport everything. 

Personally, my chanting has been kind of slow lately.. I've been feeling a little under the weather, but I am getting my rounds done and reading little here and there.

Adrian has also mentioned to me that you've been stressing our marriage situation. We are both aware that it's not bona fide to be living together without being married. I'm sorry for doing like this, but we are sincerely trying our best to do what will be good for our spiritual lives and to be together helps both of us. Again.. I am sorry, no excuses, just an explanation, I suppose. Tracy's presence is also good for the both of us. We have some things to consider that maybe you can give us some more insight on. We haven't known eachother for a very long time, but we both feel that we can help eachother and have a strong commitment to Srila Prabhupada's mission to spread Krishna Consciousness. On a more mundane level, too, we share common interests, although we are slowly weeding those things out. 

So for these reasons, it is in our plans to get married this year, but we are both still unemployed, which may be causing some insecurities on the matter for both of us, as well as dealing with our parents. We're both quite young in our bodies, but we communicate very well and are able to resolve any issues in a very mature manner. These personal dealings are hard to relay and allow sufficient grounding and security with our parents, especially since mine live so far away and haven't really gotten to know Adrian that well. Anyway, we will get married, but the rush might make our parents feel uncomfortable, which is a concern for the both of us.

I was also reading about marriage in ISKCON and saw that Srila Prabhupada really wanted devotees to have marriage counseling before and after the marriage ceremony. Do you feel that this is something we should do? How long does counseling last for? I was thinking to inquire from Caru prabhu here, see if he would be willing to assist us in this endeavor. 

There are many other things running through my mind regarding the marriage subject, but I am always remembering to just keep chanting :) !!!

I really appreciate your guidance always. I hope you are well and happy in your travels and preaching!!! Jaya Maharaja! Hare Krishna!

your aspiring servant,

reb :)

HpS - Jaya!  AGTSP   paoho  Sounds 1/2-way sane.  Wow!  That's quite and accomplishment in Kali yuga.  Usually Krsna will solve the work situation in a nice way also.  Look into the Grhastha Vision Team of ISKCON.  I think they have a web site.  They are very nice people.  I know them.  They have good counseling help!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada! Todas las Glorias a HanumatPresaka Swami! HARE KRISHNA!!!!!

Querido Maharaja por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias 

Maharaja, ya falta sólo una semana para que Usted llegue a Argentina. Estoy muy feliz y a la vez siento una mezcla de sensaciones.

El lunes rendimos el exámen de iniciación, y todo es muy emocionante, me siento frente a un compromiso que deseé mucho y èsto me genera un poco de ansiedad o temor. Por suerte cuento con el apoyo de hermosos devotos y devotas que fortalecen mi corazón, pero ya necesito estar frente a Usted, recién ahi voy a sentirme en paz.

Le había contado anteriormente que me encontraba frente a muchos cambios y mucho stress, ya todo está mejor, los cambios fueron positivos.

Soy instructora de Hatha Yoga hace 10 años y ahora estoy comenzando un nuevo proyecto, en otro lugar que se llama  "Dharma" y tratando de poner mi energía en ésto. Espero Su bendición por favor. Tengo la sensación que recién ahora estoy encontrando mi camino, pudiendo tomar mis propias decisiones, y que todo está por empezar..... 

Mi servicio en el Templo me hace muy feliz, Prabhu Mahahari me va a prestar el libro que Usted me recomendó, "The Purpose Driven Church" Deseo mejorar mi servicio dia a dia y de ésa manera complacerLo a Usted.

En un mes comienzan las clases en la facultad, el último año y me recibo de Psicóloga...todo está por comenzar....y sé que Usted podrá orientarme con ésto también.

Rondas mejorando, cantando con Usted y los vainavas en Japa Joe, cantar los Santos Nombres en Brahna Muhurta hace la diferencia!!!!!

Maharaja perdón por mis ofensas. Rendida a Sus pies de loto, su Aspirante a sirviente, Bh. Diana.<img alt="" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/40.gif" title="" />
