Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, beloved Gurudeva.

AGTSP, PAMHO.

As soon as I arrived to Monterrey (to the finca) I knew exactly what I was doing wrong.

We need first to know ourselves, and then try to adjust our Sankirtan in relation to our nature.

Gadadhara Gosai p and his wife were very kind with me

It was a short Visit, but very regarding. I met Karuna Shakti, Gopi Radha, etc in person. Very humble and top notch devotees.

Mona !!!! I liked her a lot

As I told You I am now an ordinary professor in the university. I can present some projects. I would like to help the elders. They are again like children's so they deserve attention and respect.

Again thank You very much.

Hope to see You again soon

Your eternal servant

HpS-ASA - AgtSP!! We were invited to visit with Umberto Mathurana, candidate for Nobel Prize in Chile, but he said bring about five our six peope from your community with you.

I learned so much.

It was not an American cowboy of two heroes on their tall horses.

It was the meeting of two communities. Members with their corresponding parts in the otro community.

He programmed about 4-hours for the meetings. It was so useful.

The team we are building is eternal.

Your visit was so nice. You brought a little bit of Lima with you.

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

On this very wonderful appearance day I reflect on you and your ever expanding qualities. Your honesty and realness is always so refreshing to us. Your humor and playfulness keeps us excited and allows us to swallow some bitter pills so easily. You make it all so palatable. 

Without my connection to you, I would surely be very lost. Sixteen rounds everyday and strictly following the four principles is not easy but with your enthusiasm infecting us and with you connecting us to Prabhupada and the Parampara it seems possible. It’s such a long and windy road full of so many obstacles and pit falls but for the first time in my life I can feel that I am going in the right direction at least. Just by following you to the small degree that I am. 

We had a very nice ceremony for you at the temple today with so many illuminations of your character. Powerful and instructive stories about you were spoken, the kirtan was spirited and the prasadam was spiritually potent. Split pea soup, yellow rice, banana muffins, orange zest pudding with a small amount of black pepper;) and fried potatoes. 

The reoccurring theme of our discussions was your comment to my last blog entry: “ISKCON lives or dies on the service in the Boise temple” and the memories of how supportive you have been to us here was very emotional. 

The black witch (Maya/ depression) is always trying to tell me that this temple will fail and that we don’t have enough devotees to help. So many unhopeful speculations creep in but only by your mercy I can fight them off. With the sword of knowledge and sadana! And your powerful association through the internet air waves~

So much more to say but I will leave it at that. Thank you Maharaja for lifting us up and giving us hope for a real human life full of wonder and discovery. This Krsna consciousness movement is moving because of great souls like you. I am eternally indebted to you. 

Your aspiring servant, 

Nitisara das

P.S. Here is a picture that Aja and Braja made for you:

HpS - Thank you!!! Temples never fail. They are part of the Sat-Cit-Anaanda reality. We can see them from different perspectives. From one perspective the Radha Govinda Temple of Rupa Goswami in Vrndavana is like a relic, but from another it is filled with spiritual lilas ever expanding.

Practically how ISKCON will flourish in Boise is wide open. Of course, USA has a whole history of Northern German mechanical impersonalism, but the world is also changing, so keep looking for the new, exciting ways to "let Krsna out of the box"!

We are running to the UDEM program now!!

Wanted to write an here is you letter. Hope to talk soon.

Respects to all.

Please Accept my humble obeisances!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

How are you Maharaj? I've been watching some of your classes and began reading the JayaRama.us/news you write, also I bought the first episode of the Traveling Creature :) which I began watching, just a few minutes I've seen, seems really well produced and the video has a very very good quality!

Well, since you told me I was ready to became an initiated devotee, I would you to please ask you if you would like to give me initiation in some time, I've been chanting the 16 rounds since Nityananda Trayodasi, and the principles, well I was following them some extra time ago.

Hope you are well and so your health :)

I'm quite happy following your instructions :) thank you for your guidance and assistance!

HpS - After six months of chanting 16-rounds daily you can become a formal "Refugee", refugiado, and then after one year total formally initiated. 16-rounds daily you have been doing for 2-3 months?

Dear Gurudeva!

Please accept my respectful obeisances to your beautiful lotus

feet. all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

hps - lettuce feet. AGTSP! . ! . !

I wish you had a beautiful Gaura pournima day! we bathe Lord Gauranga with Gopal and sing.

By the mercy of Mr. Gaura, the director of the culture of the town where I live gave me another opportunity to make a festival! we will do harinama book distribution, prasadam, bhajans, dances.

We hope that many people can benefit. We ask for Your wonderful blessings so that there will be a lot of preaching and book distribution!

HPS - hope you can involve many local people in dramas etc.

I am glad to hear from you, I wish you are well and happy in your wonderful sankirtan!

Speaking of my body, sometimes I still feel strong pain in my legs, but I rest and it passes. I can happily continue working and dancing.

Could you see the offering I made to you for Your Vyasa Puja?

HpS - We watched from beginning to end but moved a little fast through some of the oranamental portions.

Can you chant the Sanskirt from the chapter, especially the portion of Radha's conversation with the bee with Gopal et al. Send the recording?

Thank you for being my beloved Guru.

I feel at this stage of my life that I want to fulfill my duties to the best of my ability and prepare myself to leave the body. I saw "death" very close and it was a blessing. please pray for me to be able to occupy myself in service and preach as much as possible.

we are reading srimad bhagavatan every day. we have finished the chapter the pandavas retire opportunely and now we are reading punishment and reward of kali....

HpS - Write down questions and comments that occur as you read and then send them here?

please forgive any offense inadvertently committed in this letter. and accept obeisances from frank and gopal.

we were able to send a very small contribution to his sankirtan with prabhu Nikunja Bihari das .

trying to serve him with all my heart:

HpS - Yes! We got generous donation from you through Nikunja. Thank you all! We will try to invest it very well in Sri Krsna Sankirtan!!!

Hari Bolo!!

Radha Japa Prati Jalpa Devi Dasi

HpS - No offense. Thank you for the copies of the posters.

dear Hanumat preshak Swami

please accept my humble obeisances

all glories to His Divine Grace !

Thank you for giving me privilage to associate more closely with you and your disciples. I wanted to ask you if you have any of your disicples whom I can communicate with, more about some basic and practical things , just to reduce the burden to you, and save your time. I arrived in Malaysia, Penang and I stay in temple. My husband is recommending devotees to stay here for some time and learn/participate in temple activities that we have no facility in China.

Its my second time here and its very nourishing. My husband will come next week and we hope to have some preaching engagements here because there is a great need for that.

After Malaysia if Krsna willing, there are some devotes that invited us to Bali, Indonesia for more sanga.

HpS - Our big brother and Sannyasa guru, H. H. Bhakti-svarupa Damodara Swami has a temple and guru kula there, I think. His disciple, Abhimanyu Das is there. I don't know the exact address.

Maybe some one reading the Blog can help with some discussions. I can't recommend anyone specific.

Are they specific topics?

🙂🙂🦍🙂

Krsna consciousness is ecstatic, is what comes to my mind now. I hope I would be able to meet you soon in India. China/India have some political issues and they are not issuing visas. Still there is half year till Kartik when we plan to visit and hopefully associate with you. My husband told you he used to see you with small group of devotees here and there. I am trying my best to be a good representative of Srila Prabhupada and your Holiness. What would you want me to do? What would please you ?

Aspiring to be a servant , Bht.Rukmini/Wang Pan

HpS/ASA -- Of course, just being disciple of Srila Prabhupada is best service. Beyond that I don't know if you are motivated by any of the specific projects we have.

Just watch the Kapi Dhvaja and see how you might give some specific conribution there.

Very much it is nice having a correspondent sending Krsna conscious news from Asia.

Maybe one of the "spy programs" is also reading our letters.

🙂🙂🙂

So we will have a broader audience.

👍👍👍🌴👍

Respects to your esteemed husband.

Is he writing anything?

Hare Krsna, master, in the service of real Master.

Careful Dandvats, All glories to representative of Krpa Shakti of Lord. The closest lense of transcendental telescope.

HpS - Suspect we have chromatic and spherical aberration.

Thank you for being transparent.

This poor man has heard from audio vibrations generated from your lips that -- "Sannyas like SB 1.5 of Narada Muni is not practical in today's age.

We always had this conjecture that - " what is practical householder life in today's age" or more importantly what is not practical? we somehow try to imitate the scriptural standards mentioned for householders.

similarly can you kindly tell us what is practical van-prastha asram ?

HpS - ASA --- So much detail in all of Srila Prabhupada's books. Read on. Contemplate. YOu will get it straight.

Basic principle is sacrifice and basic sacrifice is chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!
