Letters to the editor

Gurudeva, Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance
All glories t Srila Prabhupada!
During a Srimad Bhagavatam class in Chiclayo you spoke that in Isckon there is already the possibility to follow a brahminical formation, even to the bachelor degree, and you mentioned the Bhaktivedanta College in Belgium.
Also, when I talked to you about my education, you mentioned that I could study education. And I was working on that idea, and finally I am convinced: I want to do it!
So I wrote to the Bhaktivedanta College, to Maharaja Yadunandana Swami, I spoke to my parents, and it seems everything is favorable!
I was thinking to go there the next year, but Maharaja Yadunandana has told that it is good if I can start this year, also my parents think so.  The classes start at middle of September.

The positive points to go this year are:
-I can start earlier and finish one year before
-My younger brother starts the university the next year, and the economic charge for both educations together will be hi. If I go this year, it is 2, and not 3 year of difficulty to pay both education fees.
The negative points are:
-I made plans here, with the authorities, and I have to change, it may be a perturbation (I had to collect my ticket, the bhakti sastri fees), it may be not… I didn’t talk yet. But I feel it is not nice to change, because it was me who ask to come.
-Here I am learning also many things, like a spiritual childhood: asrama, sankirtan, service, sadhana! I will have to leave this, I wonder if it is good for me to continue with this experience longer than September?

I don’t have a ticket to return to Perú, I can go to Belgium form here. I don’t know what it is the best:
1. To continue the whole year here and do lot of sankirtan, and brahmacarini life, and go to Belgium next year.
 2. Or stay here until September, do Bhakti Sastri at Cueramaro, and then apologize myself for the changes and ask if I can leave earlier, so I can start this year at the College?
Both options seems nice to me, what would be more inteligent from a spiritual point of view? For my spiritual formation and development?

Your eternal servant,
Nitya Kisori devi dasi

HpS - ASA - AGTSP     paoho....  Just ask Asta sakhi, Maitrey and Bhakta Vatsala what they think.    Get  all the facts on the table and then chant Hare Krsna and contemplate them and you should get a clear idea of what is best.

AgtSP!

Agt Guru y Gauranga!

Pamho.

Hare Krsna

Saludos Maharaja, soy Bhakta Pablo del Parikrama, de España.

Espero que este mucho mejor cuando reciba este mensaje, y espero que este muy bien en todos los aspectos.

Yo Maharaja ya no estoy en Madrid Mandir, estoy en Balarama Loka.

HpS - TlgaSP   pfanrh.  Estamos oyendo que ha cambiado su reseidencia!

Mi idea era irme al extrangero pero no puede ser por ahora, tal vez un poco mas adelante. Cosas fuera de mi control no me lo permite.

HpS - Bien, Bien!   Bien.

4 principios, 16 rondas pero fuera del Brahma Muhurta casi todos los dias, he tenido un sadhana un poco caotico estos dias pero intentando concienciarme de ser mas efectivo y no desperdiciar el tiempo.

HpS - Entonces no estamos en Madrid, ni tampoco, cual quiere parte del  universo.  Estamos en Goloka con Krsna.

No tengo internet en la granja y esta lejos, queria escribirle antes.

Estoy intentando concienciarme de crear mi union al Sankirtana, tal vez algo como " El arbol Sabio ", y asi continuar los proyectos Amalaki Babaji y Rishi Technology Proyect.

Mi hermano y yo hemos estado discutiendo sobre el Varna-Ashrama Dharma y hemos llegado a la conclusion que no puede ser introducido completa y eficientemente si la gente no tiene disponible un sistema de vida autosuficiente, cremos que la cadena de ayuda mutua y sinergia no puede activarse.Que cree Usted?

ASA - En la Kali-yuga el base es Sankirtana.  Harinama. Desea glorificar Krsna por Sankirtan de Sus Santos Nombres primero, pero despues por media del Varna ashrama Dharma.

Le llego el paquete a Radhadesh?, perdone no escribirle una carta, todo fue muy rapido.

ASA - Si, Si.  Muchas gracias.  Es muy placentera recibir algo de devotos mientras estamos occupado en viajando tan mucho.

Perdone ser tan extenso, intento asociarme continuamente con la recitacion de los Santos Nombres. Intento ser mas efectivo.

Podre ganarme su asociacion?

Muchas gracias por todo Su esfuerzo e inspiracion.

Hare Krsna.

HpS - Una vez cada dos semanas va al internet con sus palabras bien organizado. Desriptions de la naturlez.

Hare Krishna.

  Mis reverencias a sus pies de lotos,

ASA - TlgaSP   Pfanrh.  Pies de lodo!

todas las glorias a Sila Prabhupada.

      Mucho trabajo junto a la maha anandini y el Prasadam sale para muchos lugares por la misericordia de todos Usted ( Krishna, Prabhupada, Usted,etc....)

Tambien por pura misericordia comenzamos nuevamente con el programa maravilloso de ¡¡¡¡¡¡ Harinam!!!!!! por las calles d ela ciudad de Santiago 1 vez al mes por ahora esperamos sea 2 veces en un par de meses mas llevamos las 2.000 galletitas y muchos devotos asisten regularmente cada mes y se ha transformado en una fiesta linda junto a los devots y las personas que cada vez tienen un actitud mas favorable al movimiento de SRI NITYANANDA Y DE SRI CAITANYA, en la familia estamos cantando las rondas regularmente, y esta semana la Maha Anandini ( mi esposa) va a Peru a estar con su Guru Mharaj JAYAPATAKA MAHARAJ y yo estare solo con los 5 niños uf¡¡¡

  Mi reverencias a Usted y muchas gracias por todas SUS BENDICIONES¡¡¡¡¡

HARE KRISHNA  

HpS - Jaya!   TlgaSP      y     Jagannatha, como esta?               Mooo   Y    Bien, Sankirtana.    El resultado es guarantizado!!!!    Krsna va a hacer una arregla muy especial para Vds.   Yo he visto.  Devotos trabajando super fuerte para Krsna para muchos anos, entonces Krsna haciendo un arregla incomprehensible!   Vamos a ver.  Espero ir a Chile pronto.  Podemo quedar en su pueblo!

Dear Maharaj,

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

I hope this finds you in fantastic health.

Our wedding date has changed. It has moved to the 31st of August. Quite soon. 

Yogendra and I finished reading "The marriage of Kardama Muni and Devahuti" and I think we started "Devahuti's lamentation". It's ridiculous how slow we go. Anyways, we are getting there.

Maharaj, we have been offered an opportunity to serve at a brand new iskcon centre in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I am not sure of the details however, Bhaktimarga Swami suggested Yogendra and I to go there to receive training on running a preaching centre/ temple under the guidance of a senior grihastha couple. He really wants to go and we were told that we would have some freedom to attend school, work, etc. Is this Krishna's doing? Should we take this opportunity?

HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP   paoho   Sorry slow to answer!!!        Invitation sounds great to us!  Sankirtana!

And one more thing. I am no longer serving at the Bhakti Loungue preaching centre here in Toronto. It was becoming very difficult for me to perform my duties and Mangal Aarti helped me make a decision. Now I am back to full time temple services and it's working out fine. I'm chanting my minimum of 16 rounds every day, following 4 regs, attending morning program. I am also looking for a job to raise some laxmi for the wedding and our future home. Yogendra is also on the same program.

Thank you for your tolerance. 
your aspiring servant,
Rasa-mandali dd

ASA - Cool!    Hope you find a nice job where you can also do some preaching, meet nice people and invite them to K.C.

todas las glorias  a Srila Prabhupada

por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias

gurudeva gracias por responder mi carta es inspirador leer sus palabras

por lo visto el acto de no escribir seguido trae la consecuencia de que Usted no recuerde de mi...

soy un tonto realmente, ya que sin la gracia del maestro espiritual no se puede hacer ningun avance...

soy radhika prashad de Ecuador, me dio iniciacion en el 2001 en Guayaquil, vivi un tiempo en Bolivia cuando trabajaba con Prabhu Maturesh, ahora  estoy viviendo desde el año pasado en Sao Paulo con mi esposa.

ASA - Jaya!   Pensamos que era Vd!     Ya nos vemos en la Simposium de Japa mucho!

voy a mantener en conctacto mas constante esperando  recibir su misericordia

se despide su sirviente

Rpd

ASA - Tiene Hijos?   Son demonios o devotos o una mezcla?

Hare krsna maharaj,

agtsp,

pamho

we our report but mr . Robot did not like and discarded it. So we are writing it again with less details. Here is our reportfor last one month, though we promised you to write fortnightly

ASA - Tom Brown (MONKEY) - AGTSP   paoho  Just as much "pleasure" as you "enjoyed" you will have to "suffer" that much "pain".

ASA - Arjuna is the example.  His intelligence was purified by hearing from Krsna and then his senses were enlivened to fight!

ASA - Jaya!   AGTSP. We have to become perfect before we die or the witch will claim our soul for her service and we will be lost!

1. we broke one reg of ill sex consciously[25 days back].

2. We ate unknowingly sausage [in 22 hr train journey] which had garlic & onion, now we need to read contents before taking the food stuff from outside

3. our mangal arti attendance has decreased from 70% to 40% majorily due [as we understand] to

   i. sleeping late and doing some service or work

   ii. we feel half dead most of time, our physical energy seems reduced a lot- you once told that when you feel such drop of energy you derive energy from intelligence, can you tell us how to do the same? We think our old age has started.

4. on average doing 16 rounds, some times 13 but we cover it up next day

5. we delay our chanting manier times so that we chant with quality therefore on average we complete rounds by 2pm.

6. We feel more absent minded & tired these days, due to want of sufficient amount of prasdam[ we try to eat prasadam only]

7. observed ekadasi fasting – but foolishly did not chant extra rounds

    

   i guess this is enough from half efficient mind, we wait for your responses.

   Thanking you very much for your mercifu association

    

   trying to be disciplined by you,

   Bhakta I.
