Letters to the editor

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

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.

Mis reverencias a Srila Prabhupada

Mi querido Gurudeva.

Muchas Gracias por sus indicaciones; Usted una vez me dijo que su memoria a corto plazo estaba fallando, y mi mail es dificil que lo lea aun, por que comprendo que esta muy ocupado, le adelantare algo.......

Usted me dio refugio en Mayo del 2010, tengo un hijito de casi 5 años... estube alejada por año del templo y de los devotos, quizas me ubiera iniciado el año 2011 en su visita pero yo no estaba.....

Creo que no me la pude con todas las dificultades que se presentaron,y ademas creo no haber estado preparada.

Hoy en dia estoy dispuesta a servir a sus pies de loto,y complacer a Sri Krishna,pase lo que pase.

Estoy a full haciendo servicio con gran placer,estoy feliz de servir a Krishna con todo mi corazon,por que mi vida sin El fue un desastre y vacia!.

Usted en su carta anterior me dio instrucciones de cantar mis 16 rondas entuciastas,seguir estrictamente los principios,pedir buenos consejos a algunos buenos devotos.

Creo que todo eso lo estoy cumpliendo,y gracias a Krishna estoy cerca de muy buenos devotos.

Le agradezco mucho su tiempo y su comprencion ya que soy un alma caida y llena de pecado,esperando verlo muy pronto aca en Chile y tener su hermosa asociacion.

Mis reverencias a sus pies

HpS -  Jaya.  TlgaSP   pfanrh    Un hombre de pocos palabras..  Ha Ha Hare!   Otro carta.  Vamos a leer!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva ¡¡¡¡

AGTSP, PAOHO ¡¡¡ Hope this letter meets U in really Good health ¡¡

Well my sadhana now is not so regular since I do not live in a temple I do not have a partner to tell me wake up and japa joe was helping me but now ..... I got up during brahma muhurta but the schedule is not so fixed ¡¡¡

ALso pujari in wilson is like absorbing ¡¡¡ whenever I have a plan to advance with my doctorado thesis or some reading or some verse or japa joe in the afternoon the phone rings and I have to go to attend the deities umm is something that I like but then I start to think this time is for thesis and I am using it for serving Gaura Nitay which is nice but I think that I am not using my time properly ¡¡¡

So I am planning to make some adjustments and not have  a fixed day and start to train new pujaris .. JPS initiated new devotees and some of them want to be pujaris so I am going to teach them and just do administrative work in pujari not to much direct seva...I am also waiting for M Gaura gadadhara's course about pujari ¡¡¡¡ I am watching some videos from Nrsimha kavaca it is nice...

OUr BV meetings are good but they can be better we can always improve ¡¡¡

umm sometimes it is difficult to me to  find utsahan in my intelligence what can we become expert on this?? sometimes I feel that I am not advancing ¡¡¡¡

Jayapataka Swami 's visit was very nice I just could see HIm yesterday ¡¡¡He wrote a song thanking Srila Prabhupada really beautiful song ¡¡¡¡ JPS looks better ¡¡¡¡ more energized¡¡¡

Thank U very much for your patience ¡¡¡

Parama Karuna Sri Sri Gaura Nitay Ki jay

Your eternal servant

HpS - Jaya!   AGTSP   paoho.  Thank you so much for the news.    We got no detailed news of Maharaja's visit.  So many people, NIMSAR, projects were planning on making significant changes in their time in terms of what happened with Maharaja's visit. O.K. We look for letters.
