Letters to the editor

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Gurú Maharaj, reciba mis respetuosas reverencias.

Respecto a nuestra autoridad de sankirtan, perdimos comunicación con Prabhu Jagat Bandhu, desde hace 2 meses, pero esto viene sucediendo desde el 2015, perdíamos comunicación por un tiempo y después otra ves nos comunicábamos con el Prabhu.

Esperamos poder comunicarnos con el Prabhu Jagat Bandhu.

Sobre Prabhu Maturesh, no tengo comunicación con el Prabhu.

Tratare de contactarme con Prabhu Jagat Bandhu ó quizá busque otra autoridad de Sankirtan.

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido Hare Krsna.

HpS - Bien. Busca la conneccion con la administacion. No es perfect, pero si, es importante. Si todos son locos en la administracion de ISKCON tenemos que tomar carga como representante de Srila Prabhu. Administracion and cultura Brahminica.  Feliz!

Letter to Badri-narayana Swami and Ananta-rupa Das:

AGTSP
Thank you so much for your efforts, Maharaja et al. I have been involved in these particular, emotional, and practical discussions in Boise for even three years now, and really don't find it much different than specific problems that involve us in Peru, Ministry of Education etc.

Honestly, we still have to hold that from our (limited but valuable) viewpoint that there are no regular daily classes for the Boise, Yatra, (and other Yatras we know).  Ananta-rupa Das even told us that he is not the person to organize regular SB classes, and we have not been able to help him even after giving half-a-pint of blood in personal involvement. From our point of view it is neither his problem more than anyone else's. It is just a problem that Srila Prabhupada is working on, as friends we are working on and as and Institution we are working on.

It seems like we can offer no immediate improvement from the GBC level either at this point. So what I will do is tell the people who approach me with tears and anger is to cast them off and just join our regular daily classes with the Anjana Suta Academy and be happy and keep working on these things:

1. With Srila Prabhupada is our Guru,
2. You and Ananta-rupa Das et al as our friends,
3. Continue working with the Institution, as your super-human efforts inspire us, and also such heroes as Sesa Das and the Tamohara Das.

Thank you,

Again we are ready to work more on this problem as you think we can join it, but we are scheduled to go to South America from March 5 - April 30th, so would need to visit Boise with you at another time than that. Ananta-rupa Das will also be traveling, but we have invited him to go to South America with us again while we are there and we have even been discussing details.

Please let me know as you get your calendar working and we hope that your "Donkey's" hoof gets repaired so you can kick more "Daisys".

HpSwami

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis reverencias

La semana pasada comenzé dos grupos Bhakti vriksha. En el Callao, en casa de Prabhu Abhiram y en Chorrillos, en casa de Prabhu Gandharva. La intención es unir a los devotos y ver la manera de predicar Conciencia de Krishna. 

El curso de Introducción de Bhakti yoga esta planeado para que termine en Febrero, a la vez ellos también están realizando servicio de guirnaldas en el templo y tambien dos devotas desean aspirar a un maestro espiritual. Los alumnos que tengo son constantes y estoy tratando de acercarme más a ellos

Aprovechando mis vacaciones, estoy asistiendo 4 veces a la semana al templo de wilson para el mangala artik, a la vez que aprovecho la asociación de los devotos

Gracias por su constante inspiración

HpS - Muy bien. Si, Bh. Vrksa es super sistema y por que no ampliando hasta hay seis Bh. Vrksa in Callao en entonces un Centro Permanente!

Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaja ! AGTSP ! PAMHO

I hope you are in good health at the time of receiving this letter.

HpS - ASA - Our health or Brother Asses health?  We had not thought about it but Brother Ass does not have stomach pain, hip pain or heart arrhytmia today but has put on a little weight and eyes are certainly fading and deep respiration requires some little attention.

Oink!    It is good. It is very good. Soon this well used body will dissolve and the parts recycled into another body. Where will be go? We think that we may take birth as an ugly, greedy, little fat girl in ISKCON with a complexion like crudded milk, with stupid selfish character, an alcoholic mother and father etc. Hope they endorse home schooling and our mother lays off Whiskey Sours while we are in embryo and we can find the KRSNA book as soon as we are able to see pictures!

I'm writing to tell you that last saturday, december 2nd, we had a wonderful Ratha Yatra Festival here in Santiago de Chile!

ASA - Lucky, Rascal!

A few days before, I went to the airpoirt with the Iskcon Chile Team for HH Maha Visnu Swami and Harinam Ruci. They are really amazing ! They came out chanting Hare Krishna, playing Mrdangas and Kartalas, involving all the people in the airport and everyone was happy and participating in the chanting!

ASA - Did you also chant to receive them?   Flags?!

Since the beginning they was [were] a source of inspiration for all of us. I was able to accompany them to 3 Harinam by the morning, before Bhagavatam class, It was really pure nectar! Even we all get [got] into a school[s] and everybody there was happy and no any gard [guard] make some problem for us !! and the school's children started that day chanting Hare Krishna !!

The Festival day I was working helping to the production team since early morning. I've got a chevrolet van so was very useful the whole day. It's called Bhaktimobile and has done many service this year in each festival... in its next lifetime will be a Ferrari  XD

ASA - Maybe a golden chariot in Dvaraka or even better a bull cart in Braja.

Saturday midday, Santiago's main street was closed and the Lord's Chariot passed dazzling. Many devotees dancing and chanting and many new people came to the starting point and many new people joined as the chariot moved. HH Maha Visnu Swami leading the Kirtan. The police escorting. Many many people pulling the strings [ropes] and making advancing the Chariot of Lord Jaghanatha, Baladeva, Subhadra and Srila Prabhupada !  

Aprox 2 hours after starting all we came to one of the most important and central parks in Santiago [what name????], there was the stage and the stand with Prasadama, books, yoga and ayurveda, etc. Many people who were in transit there were staying a while to participate. 9 pm festival was over.

ASA - And all the devotes dead! 

Everyone back in the Temple was with the energy so high, still chanting and dancing with the devotees of Harinam Ruci, they really never stop! [Not Dead] When I returned home almost midnight, I just could not sleep, but I was very happy. 

The governor and the team of the municipal office were very satisfied with all the work of ISKCON Chile. They said want to do more things with us. Also mass media.

I send some pictures. 

Please, Guru Maharaja, forgive all the mistakes that this foolish human being makes in the communication to you.

ASA - Hey, Dude, you keep writing like this we'll give you the ASA Pullitzer prize for journalism!   Are we right, everyone??

HARE KRISHNA !!!!!!
Your aspiring disciple and servant,
Carlos Rold

ASA - Oink!   Oink!!     Whoop!     WHoop!       Next write about a Sunday Festival in Santiago. Distribute this letter locally.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.

Todas Las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaj, reciba nuestras reverencias, estamos por unos dias en Chosica visitando a mi familia, haciendo algunos documentos en el centro de Lima, mucho calor por aquí y también muchos ladrones.

Estamos otra ves en Sankirtan, distribuyendo libros de Srila Prabhupada, también Prabhu Bhakta Percy ayudando al Sankirtan, nos esta facilitando 2000 libros de Srila Prabhupada,

HpS - ASA - Jaya!

...los cuales nos estamos encargando de distribuirlos entre 4 devotos (Prabhu Advaita, Prabhu Bhakta Alex, Madre Nadiya y yo), entre las ciudades de Huancayo y Ayacucho.

ASA - !

Nuestro Sadhana marcha bien,  Srimad - Bhagavatam, entrando al canto 2, Capitulo 9 "Respuestas citando la versión del Señor".

ASA - Eso es casi el fin de los dos primeros cantos!  Vd teine que ser experto conecedor de los pies de loto de Krsna.

Mañana esta viniendo Maharaj Maha Visnu Swami y los Harinan Ruci por 2 dias en Lima y  Chosica, iremos a ver Maharaj y recibir de su misericordia y santa asosiación, despues de regreso a Huancayo y vivir en la base de Sankirtan que se construyo.

HpS - Super, super. Nuestras reverencias a Maharaja. Es amigo para muchas anyos. Tambien estuvimos pasado dias de apreciacion mutua con HNRuci en Mexico.

El lugar donde hemos contruido se llama en quechua "SONHOS  BAJOS",  y  traducido al español significa "CORAZONES  BAJOS", aqui por esta zona tenemos un amigo que quiere ser devoto, el es un Juez de la zona, y también nos visita una joven llamada Ketty que es enfermera, asi estamos tratando de establecer un Nama Hatta, donde poder ayudar a estos jovenes en su vida espiritual.

HpS - Bien. Esforzar en muchas areas: Distribution de libros en el calle, escuelas, establecer centros para entrenyar mas Sankirtaneros... una programa integrada. Si Krsna quiere puede ser Presidente de Peru.

Enfocandonos en tratar de tener un buen Sadhana y tener nuestra lectura regular del Srimad - Bhagavatam, nuestras 16 rondas con atención,  4 principios y recibir la asosiacoón de buenos devotos, pienso que podemos progresar en el servicio devocional, todo por la misericordia y guia de Srila Prabhupada, esperamos, por la misericordia de Sri Nityananda seguir en la distribución de libros y realizar todo esto con felicidad.

Por eso en el Bhagavad - Gita, Capitulo 9, Texto 2,  Krsna le dice a Arjuna lo siguiente:

rāja-vidyā rāja-guhyaṁ
pavitram idam uttamam
pratyakṣāvagamaṁ dharmyaṁ
su-sukhaṁ kartum avyayam

"Este conocimiento es el rey de la educación y el más secreto de todos los secretos. Es el conocimiento más puro de todos, y como brinda una percepción directa del ser mediante la iluminación, es la perfección de la religión. Además, es eterno, y se practica con alegría".

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido, esperamos poder verlo cuando venga a Perú y también le pedimos a Srila Prabhupada que nos permita  poder verlo en nuestra meditación, perdoneme por el deseo <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />.  Hare Krsna!!!

HpS - Ya tenemos boleto ir a Peru. Detalles en El Blog!!!  Somos siguendo sus pasos!
Ayer viene un muchacho para reperar nuestra plomeria y hablamos para 15-minutos y el tomo un Upadesamrta con gran entusiasmo. Ya esperamos va a leer, tener mas contacto con nosotros, ISKCON, y se convierta en un Sankirtanero!
