Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja! Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It’s been very enlivening for us to see all the videos of your travels. Especially seeing you at Govardhan Ecovillage. We hope to go there someday (externally and or just internally). We have a long journey ahead…trudging along and barely getting by. Being a witness to your journey has been a wonderful blessing in our lives and beyond that..a North Star and a constant reminder of the real purpose of human life.

We have been working on a devotional album for a few years now and it is finally out on all the streaming platforms. We chose our favorite prayers that we sing every morning and arranged them with guitar, percussion and piano mainly. It started out just as a personal project to go deeper into these songs and to know them by heart and incorporate them into our musical creative life. But then I helped build a recording studio for a world renowned recording artist and Ram Das follower (sweet devil). Lots of natural light and decent vastu which is really hard to find in a recording studio. Anyway, we started recording with him and he liked it so he really helped us out and is now turning his fan base on to it. We then found a well established devotee record label in Russia called 108 Records Global and they have released the album and have been a huge support.

Maharaja, this is all because of your mercy and that is why we have dedicated it to you. It has been a very exciting service and our intention with it is to attract young people to KC and spread the glories of these most perfect songs.

Of course there is mode of passion and it’s all put through like a mode of passion filter (music industry/promotion) and it does feel strange to put these songs out with a picture of us on the cover so please let us know what you think and if this is sacrilegious or perverted in any way. (Sadly, Guruastikam had to be cut down to only 3 of the verses.)

…no one ever finished an album, they just stopped working on it. Many more to come, we hope…

Thank you, Gurumaharaja.

Your aspiring servants,

Nitisara Dasa, Anadi, Yamuna and Madhavi Priya

P.S. A lot of good progress at Boise temple. I’ll give an update on that soon. Here is the album:

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you!

This is Deva-Vrata das from Córdoba, Argentina.

Gurudev, I want to offer you my results from Srila Prabhupada's book distribution marathon. I came in first place, and I am happy to glorify you with this humble effort.

You gave me your blessings, told me, "Have a very pure marathon," and it was all very special... It was a very difficult month, with many challenges, but I was always able to overcome them... by meditating on you and offering obeisances in my mind... to you, to Srila Prabhupada, and to all the parampara.

Gurudev, without your blessings and those of Srila Prabhupada, I am powerless.

Thank you, Gurudev!

Hare Krishna!

Jaya Gurudev! Jaya Srila Prabhupada! Sankīrtana yajña ki jaya!

............................

Hare Krsna Gurudev.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! Todas las glorias a usted!

Aquí Deva-Vrata das de Córdoba, Argentina

Gurudev quiero ofrendarle mis resultados en la maratón de distribución de libros de Śrīla Prabhupāda. Quedé primer lugar y me alegra glorificarlo con este humilde esfuerzo.

Usted me dió sus bendiciones, me dijo "que tengas una maratón muy pura", y fue todo muy especial...

Fue un mes muy difícil, con muchos desafíos, pero pude sobreponerme siempre... meditando en usted y dándole reverencias con la mente... A usted, a Śrīla Prabhupāda y a todo el paramparā.

Gurudev, sin sus bendiciones y las de Srīla Prabhupāda soy impotente.

Gracias Gurudev!

Hare Krsna

Jaya Gurudev! Jaya Śrīla Prabhupada! Sankīrtana yajña ki jaya!

HpS - ASA -- Anyone details? We distributed five ASA Scolar's sets if a LOB, NoI and Tlc, and case of NOI.

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

​AgtSP!! Pamho,

​I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip to Mumbai next week.

​If your schedule permits and it is not too much trouble, would you be able to help me get the contact of the devotee currently in charge of Gopal's Garden High School? I believe it might be Raghunath Charan Das (Raj Chopra), but I am not entirely sure if he is still the one leading the program.

​I am very inspired by their successful model and would love to learn from their core principles to implement something similar here in Latin America. Please do not feel any pressure or rush; only if it is convenient for you during your stay.

​Thank you, Gurudeva.

​Your servant,

​Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - I, agtSP, will send you Rama giridhari Das' contact info. He is involved with education in Mumbai!

Hare krsna Gurudeva Dandavats 🙏

I would like to share this song composed by Locana Das Thakur and sung by Srila Prabhupada

Lochan Das Thakur has written this song “Vrajendra Nandana Bhaje Jei Jana”. In this song, Lochan Das Thakur describes the significance of the one who worships Lord Krsna.

(1)

vrajendra-nandana, bhaje jei jana, saphala jivana ta’ra,

tahara upama, vede nahi sima, tri-bhuvane nahi ara

(2)

emana madhava, na bhaje manava, kakhana mariya jabe,

sei se adhama, prahariya yama, raurave krmite khabe

(3)

ta’ra-para ara, papi nahi chara, samsara jagat-majhe,

kona kale ta’ra, gati nahi ara, michai bhramiche kaje

(4)

sri locana dasa, bhakatira asa, hari-guna kahi likhi,

hena rasa-sara, mati nahi ja’ra, ta’ra mukha nahi dekhi

1) That person who worships Vrajendra-nandana makes his life successful. In the three worlds there is none equal to Him. The Vedas cannot completely describe His glories.

2) Whoever fails to worship that Sri Madhava is taken to Yamaraja after death and put in the hell called Raurava-loka (where he is eaten alive by worms and insects). There is no one as sinful as him.

3) Since there is no greater sinner than he throughout the universe, he cannot be delivered at any time but continues to wander, performing temporary materialistic activities that result in suffering.

4) Sri Locana dasa states, "Only by my desire to obtain bhakti am I able to describe Sri Hari’s qualities. I never wish to see the face of that person whose intelligence is not fixed on Vrajendra-nandana, the very essence and embodiment of all rasa.

HpS - We will try to tag the song and listen!

Rapid, eternal progress going back home, back to Godhead.

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

HpSwami - By his divine grace we can be one step above beasts, no?

I`m finally back to Chile, quite tired and with a lot of heat, but happy and thinking in Krsna, since I stopped to speak with that mataji I started to chant Nrisimha Kavaca and I see him protecting me, I have not stopped my Sadhana and that mantra fits very well with it.

HpSwami - Also, prayers by Prahlada around SB 5.18.12!

Also I started to do sankirtan and I can see that Krsna is helping me with it a lot, now I`m doing almost in the nights (Around 9 to 10 pm) and works very well, the day is not that hot and the people are more open, I usually go to restaurants and similar places, usually people are more open to receive any book or anything if they are eating and relax.

Also I want to ask you if you would like to come to my home to spend just one afternoon with my family and some devotees that could come, not to make any specific program (I mean give any class about topic, etc.) but to just be here and have a nice meal with Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra.

HpS - Like to, but let us make detailed plans and little more in the future!

I`m quite happy also with how life is going, I feel more stable and happy, I don`t feel any rush to go and travel now or get married or anything like that, for now my only concerns are to keep my family happy and serve Krsna in the way that I can.

Also I started to do some seva in the temple and I`m kind of wondering if I could take second initiation, I just wonder if you think is a good idea, I have all the "paper work" needed to take and also I`m quite excited to be able to have a Sila and worship and serve the deities as a pujari I think could be a nice step forward, I heard some of your classes when you speak when is a good time to take second initiation, also I have being following what you have told me to be mostly fix in the mood of goodness and now you are coming so I ask you what do you think?

HpS-Seems nice.

When do you get up regularly?

Can you lead the full morning program, got basic Bhakti sastri education, cook kitri and halavah?

As always I hope your health is good and that your body is not making too many troubles for the age that it has.

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja and see you soon :D
