Letters to the editor

jaya Gurudeva! please accept my obeisances to sweet dust of your lotus feet🙏🙇🏻‍♀️🪷👣🌷🌹🌷🌹💖All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories To You my eternal Gurumaharaja 🙏🙇🏻‍♀️🪷👣🌷🌹🌹Our idea is just to read the book. Do not comment on anything extra. It wouldn't be doing any other work. but to help these books of Prabhupada can be heard in Spanish, to make a service for ISKCON by Srila Prabhupada. On the other hand, if you want to comment on something, I don't think you can do it. Srila Prabhupada explains everything very well and I feel unable to add anything.

It would be what is now called audio book. If you Gurudeva is fine with you and you want me to comment, I would make an effort to try to comment on something... but I think it would be useless...it would take me longer to upload it and maybe I'll lose Srila Prabhupada's job. We will ask the devotees. Thank you very much Gurudeva.

Please forgive any unintentional offense🙏🙇🏻‍♀️👣🌷🌹💖

Trying to please your lotus heart🪷🌹🏞️

HpS - ASA /// Same comment as before. I think Jagadisvara Das had the same result, and I have heard of others having the same result.

They just want to reproduce the BBT material in different media, but then after investing a great deal of effort they get a polite but firm legal notice from the BBT, that they must take everything down because they do not have BBT copywrite approval.

I think in one aspects they are forced to do this by Copywrite law. If a copywrite holder knows that someone is distributing there material on mass media and do not tell them to stop, they are giving permission and then others can do the same thing.

Again, asks Caturatma Das and Mataji for help.

Of course, I think you can read some and share with friends.

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru Maharaja,

At the Hare Krishna Fair, sponsored by Municipalidad de Quilicura, we distributed more than 300 USD in books, Guru Maharaja! They gave us 18 stands to sell prasadam and books. Chandramukha Swami was our guest.

🐒 🐒 Super!!! All respects to Maharaja and all the Sankirtaneros.

And pictures here: The Embassy of India in Chile https://web.facebook.com/IndiaInChile/posts/pfbid0XEhkC7HnaNrgfDwjVRkikdBJ1SQcLQkw48vCzSFxGcttq5A7TrKWx7QXutjozL6Cl

We had a spiritual retreat with 16 people in Puerto Varas, south of Chile (12 hours in bus, 1,5 h. plane). Most of them are complete newcomers. There, the preaching is led by Bhaktin Monica Ramirez and her husband, Matias Valiente are doing a very good job preaching and cultivating new people. They are inspired by Kamalanandini, our senior preacher in Coyaique, because this young couple adopt el bhakti there in Coyaique. They invited me to their first retreat to introduce everyone to mangala arati and Bhagavatam. The main topic was Upadesamrta. I talked for 6 hours in two days. I was exhausted, but it seems that everyone was happy, according to their final feedback. But eveyrhing is good seeing the Llanquihue lake there, the second largest of Chile.

ASA - It must be a reflection of a lake in Vaikuntha. Ayodhya. Lanka[?].

The Ratha Yatra was organised by Dina Dayal and his team. It was just two days ago, so there are no details yet about how many books and everything, but it was a very successful effort.

HpS - Here they had their second Rathayatra in the neighborhood park. Very intense!

Here are some pictures. Mahavisnu Swami Maharaja is here with us. He came because of this:

What's next

Also, the Indian Embassy invested more than 2000 USD in buying 200 Bhagavad Gitas to distribute in an event next Friday here in the temple. We are inviting mayors, congressmen, dignitaries and leaders of society to this event:

• We have had this invitation to a school this 21st November where children since 7 to 17 years old will be there. We visited several times because they organised this event about different religions. We used to do kirtana and distribute and give for free some books. We also have a conversatorio with the teacher and students, and a general presentation on the stage with most of the students there.

Finally, the November 23rd, we are participating in a program called Yoga para Todos led by a friend of devotees Fran Kirtidev in San Miguel. We went once and we distributed a lot of books, but now more people will attend.

I have two more reports waiting. They are about the Spiritual Intelligence project and 3rd Latin American Congress on Education with ISKCON - Santiago, Chile.

HpS - Thank you! For us we kind of feel like Nashville was our office, Lima our Home and Santiago our Sankirtan spot.

All the pictures of Rama lila were there on the windows.

The picture of Hanumatpresaka Hanuman was right by the door, go out to preach!!

Govinda carana Das is sending Blog Posts about fixing dates for our ASA visit to Lima:

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15926/

Yadu Swami is pushing his travel agent for good tickets from Marid to Stg. for the two (or more) of us.

You also have Radhika-ramana Das's dates now, too, no?

Seems like we can fix some dates and buy the tickets pretty soon, no?

Try to keep ourselves pure, then KRSNA will send innocent people, and they must remain patient to hear the situation of this material world and its contrast with the spiritual world. One, Two, Three.

We really hope we can fit into this movement and these events.

1. Why are you (me [readers]) personally involved in The Congress etc.
2. Who are our partners, who have answered 1 above.
3. Base upon 1 and 2 then... making plans.
4. Based up 3 acquire resources eg. venue.

Given 'em a book! Straight to the heart!!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my humble obeisances, dear Gurudeva. 🙏

I hope you are doing very well.

HpS - It is 8.54PM.

We have pretty nice Ashrama space in Houston Temple. Nice community. Very, very, very intense Rathayatra program for last two days.

Our body is 81% functional.

Many good doctors!!

In general, we feel that life is a battle of Kuruksetra. You get defeated in damaged in encounters with Prasadam and association with people, media, but you win some very strategic fights like Sixteen Rounds early, four princely pals, Full Morning Service, different Sankirtan service, and every victory is eternal!

We were almost dead after the Rathayatra fair grounds and parade!!!!!! Honored Prasada pretty well. Rested and then we look at our priority list, schedule the next few hours and get some results!

Answer mail.

I wanted to share that we recently had the Deity Worship Course organized by the ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry, led by Prabhu Nrishimha Kavaca and his team here in New Vrindaban. Rohini, Gopi Radha, and around thirty devotees participated, including some from New York, Houston, Canada, and other places. Today was the final day of the exams, and we are very happy to have completed it.

HpS - Super! My old friend.

Personally, I realized that over the years I have tried to maintain service in deity worship, but much of it may have been mechanical, sometimes a little better. Now, everything seems to make sense—the mantras, the items, the cleaning, the concentration—but most importantly, the inner transformation that must happen within ourselves. How can we demonstrate external cleanliness if our minds and hearts are not clean? Everything we are is reflected in our deity worship. Our values, our efforts, everything we cultivate within ourselves can be seen there.

It was very inspiring to see the devotees with their different natures, showing love, gentleness, sweetness, and dedication to the deities, despite any limitations they might have. It is not easy to see my own faults, but Krishna always shows me that not everything is wrong.

I am still learning to speak English, Gurudeva, but I try every day to speak and understand as best I can. I sincerely wish to learn more from so many devotees and their vast experience in deity service.

HpS - One level is that you know enough to write things so that Google will be able to translate them well and your can see any big mistakes in the translation!

Thank you very much, Gurudeva, for all the facilities and blessings you give us, thanks to which we can now be in this place and learn from wonderful devotees. May Lord Nishimhadeva grant you His protection under the shade of His lotus feet.

Your servant,

Gopi Radha DD

HpS - I think 25-people with find your news like nectar on the tongue of a thirsty man!!!

HpS - Jaya!!!!! AgtSP!

Let us go to the next Blog Post!

Hare krishna, Gurudeva, PAMHO, AGTSP. I just wanted to share my experience of my visit to my home town (birth place).

I had recently had a great chance of visiting my 87 years old mother in Nepal.

I was very happy to see her very healthy chanting every day at least 16 rounds of Japa despite of her age.

I spent 8 days with my mother and my other relatives who are chanting at least 4 rounds.

HpS - OM Bhur Bhuvah Sva.

SB 10.47.63 !!

As my preaching service I have been offering regular Bhagavad-gita discourse for latest 15 months.

ASA - ❗

All together we have about 50 participants all from remote villages and the class is through ZOOM IN Nepali language. In the beginning I had promised to them if they follow the 4 regulative principal and chant at least 4 rounds I will personally take them to Vrindavan and Ayodhaya.

After spending 8 days in Nepal we started our journey as promised

To Ayodhaya and to Vrindavan 18 hours of trip.

First we visited the birth place of Lord Ram and had beautiful darsan of Ram lala. From there we went to Sarayu ganga where Lord Ram along with his 3 brothers performed regular pastimes as Lord krishna did in yamuna. Next we went to the famous temple of Sri Hanuman ji also known as HANUMAN GADHI.

At this place Lord Ram had asked Hanuman to guard Ayodhya in his absence while he was in 14 years of exile.

After completing our darsan we proceed to Vrindavan for 12 hours of trip. We arrived in Vrindavan at 9 pm and took rest

After eating prasadam.

Next morning it was first day of Kartik and our schedule for next 5 days was tight as we had planned .

Day 1- we all went for mangal arati and started our journey 5:30 to Varsana parikrama.

We started our parikrama from vanukund to barsana parikrama, Prem sarovar, Nanda gow, Ter Kadhamba' and Aseswar mahadev.

In the evening of same day performed Vrindavan parikrama.

Day 2- Gokul,

Again after mangala arati we started our trip.

First to Bhattron rai (in this place the Braman patnis feed krishna in the forest)

Then we went to Akrura ghat(her Akrura took his midday snan while taking Krishna And Blaram to Mathura)

-Then we went to Dauji

-Radha Ranis birth place

-Chinta haran

-Brahmanda ghat

-house where krishna stay for 2 years

-Okhal bandan (where krisna was tied up)

-Raman reti and at last Mathura(jail where Krishna was born.

Day 3 kama ban

-Badri nath

-kedarnath

-gangotri

-jamunotri and different place in kamiya ban.

ASA - Ashokavan??

Day 4 Govardhan Parikrama and bathing in Radha kunda.

It was wonderful experience lot to share but difficult to share.

Your humble servant

Rupanuga siddhanta das

HpS - Incredible!!!! Simply incredible. Hope you had inspiring Krsna Katha!

You offer so much from the outside but then Krsna offers so much for each pilgrim from the inside!

This is changing the world.

Giving more and more opportunity for people to go back home.

Hare Krishna Gurudev agtSP

Dandavat Pranam.

Regarding your artistic project of filming, theater, etc., and developing sankirtan in the cities you plan to travel to (India, Chile, Peru, Mexico, etc.),

I have a proposal about the life of the Goswamis reflected in the modern era. It would be something like this (a sannyasi in modern times). Yadunandana Swami talks about it in his book...how to apply ancient teachings in the modern era...

It would have a positive impact on understanding simple life, elevated thinking, developing consciousness before vanity, controlling the mind before controlling people,

etc.

A script could be developed. We'd base it on the life of Jiva Goswami, for example, as an exemplary siksa guru of great Vaishnavas. In parallel, we'd observe the life of an ordinary but wonderful man who educates his students in the purpose of life. This will never cease to be important, no matter the time or place. Only the actors in this great work of life change.

We could travel with you, assist you, perform, and help you close another circle in your life as an educator.

If I'm interested and helpful, let's keep in touch and develop this project together.

Your servant

Parama Karuna das

HpS/ASA - At 77-years of age. AgtSP. We have turned a now blank page. We do not much lead work, but rather comment as Bhaktas such as you, ask for ideas about your sunny view.

To me is seems like a big project.

Again we would just join it as an consultant, assistant, if we could.

Now we are tied up with our camp in Houston and then the travel itinerary for December 17 to March 17 has us fixed with any of those event.

I guess we will have our S23 Ultra with us, so we could try to record things that Yadu Swami does along the way, or otherwise as directed???

all the members of the tour could write or do things that could be published. give us some work to do?
