Letters to the editor

.Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

I have been chanting 16 rounds everyday (Most of the rounds in the morning). After initiation, I feel it has gotten a bit easier to chant rounds with more focus. Although I still have a long way to go, it is all because of your causeless mercy. I am following the four regulative principles strictly.

When I met Caru Prabhu after my initiation, he was fondly remembering the Berkeley days when he was the temple president and you were the treasurer. He was telling me that you would walk to the bank everyday with a bag of money and would carry a gun along with you.

HpS - Someone would do that only on the days when he had a lot of money!

He was thinking why it never occured to anybody to drive you to the bank instead of letting you walk.

HpS - There was no one around and it was only 1-1/2 blocks.

Sankirtan wise, I join the FMP whenever possible. It is really enriching to join my godbrothers and godsisters and see their loving exchanges with you. I try to meditate on your short talks during the FMP when I chant.

We also have a conference call with devotees in SLC at 5.00 am during weekdays and 6 .00 a.m during weekends, where we read scriptures for 30 mins and chant together. We finished Bhagavad Gita and are currently reading Isopanisad. I also attend Friday home programs and Saturday temple feast program.

I have been doing book distribution. I have taken the responsibility in SLC temple to facilitate book distribution by maintaining the inventory and accounts. The reception to Prabhupad's books has been amazing. In our 4 outings so far, we have distributed 314 books, mainly BG and SSR. The accounting part is difficult for me. I need to streamline the process.

We also started a Bhakti Yoga Club in University of Utah last semester. We are now updating the facebook pages, websites and completing paperwork in the university to get ready for the fall semester.

HH Bhaktimarga Swami and Madhava Prabhu are coming to SLC next weekend. All of us are trying to invite as many people as we can for the program on Saturday.

I have created a soundcloud account to collate all your lectures in one place (https://soundcloud.com/user-938973912). I have uploaded a couple of your lectures from Boise there to start with. I would like to do this service and need your blessings for me to go ahead with it.

Your Servant

Srinatha Krsna Das

HpS - ASA - Your report and news are so inspiring. You can see from the DTC that we are running through the jungle with monkeys trying to through coconuts at us. We are just hoping to meet someone who understands our deep desires.

Very, very, very best wishes for you Sankirtan. Ask us if we can be of service. Back in USA in a few weeks.

Hare Krsna

My bows Gurudeva

I hope your health is better, there is very little left for your next coming, it seems that this is the year of Education projects. We open a theater workshop in Lima and present a beautiful work on the day of the Yatra pada, there is much enthusiasm, we have a good theater director.

Many questions arose about the proposal that we present and its answer, we chose to assume the area of ​​Census of teachers and projects of Education. It seems to me very good to help and encourage devotees to achieve their educational projects, there is a lot of diversity and potential and to attract people to temples, presenting a variety of educational options, short courses, workshops, based on the books of Srila Prabhupada and His faithful disciples. I would like to ask you a name for this Area. We want you to be our leader, regardless of whether or not we are accepted by ASA.

ASA - The name you have for the Children's Program seems fine. Jambuvanitas? A children's look at all these things?

We would serve the Yatra Education Officer, would be secretary and coordinator of that area with the temples, and a young professional, would be the treasurer. And many collaborators. A committee of educators approved by our authorities, meetings with educators once or twice a year and projects and commitments arise. We are active in this project, we hope to talk more about him at his coming.

HpS - We did talk. Very nice, with Karuna and everyone and Karuna is happy if Gandharva can help him co-ordinate these things. Now he is leading the organization of the Friday, 15th, program in Wilson and we will see if the National Council approves him as Education Director. Seems good for now.

On the other hand, please could suggest references ideas for the classes to share with the group of Vanaprasthas, ladies very respectable, who asked me for that service to suggest you.

HpS - We met with them and the name, Paurnamasi Sanga was suggested. They need some gentleman to be their Head. Who can that be?

We are in a stage of changes to grow. With his blessings even a mute can speak eloquently.

HpS - ASA - How is the review of the translation of the Home Schooling book? Can you pass it to Laksmana after you read some of it? I know you don't have the original so just see if the Spanish is clear and well written and then pass it to Laksmana. You don't have to read all of it. Just take some samples.

Hare Krsna 

Mis reverencias Gurudeva

Espero que su salud este mejor, falta muy poco para su proxima venida, parece que este es el año de los proyectos de Educación. Abrimos un taller de teatro en Lima y presentaremos una bonita obra el día del pada Yatra, hay mucho entusiasmo, tenemos un buen director de teatro.

Surgieron muchas interrogantes sobre la propuesta que le presentamos y su respuesta, optamos por asumir el área de Censo de profesores y proyectos de Educación.   Me parece muy bueno ayudar y fomentar que los devotos logren sus proyectos educativos, hay mucha diversidad y potencial y así atraer a las personas a los templos, presentando una variedad de opciones educativas, cursos cortos, talleres, basados en los libros de Srila Prabhupada y sus fieles discípulos. Quisiera pedirle un nombre para esta Área. Deseamos que Ud. sea nuestro líder, independientemente de que algún día seamos o no aceptados por ASA. 

Serviríamos al Encargado de Educación del yatra, estaría de secretaria y coordinadora de esa área con los templos, y una joven profesional, sería la tesorera. Y muchos colaboradores. Un comite de educadores aprobados por nuestras autoridades, reuniones con educadores una o dos veces al año y surgen los proyectos y compromisos. Estamos activos en este proyecto, esperamos hablar más de el en su venida. 

Por otro lado, por favor podría sugerirnos ideas referencias para las clases para compartir con el grupo de Vanaprasthas, damas muy respetables, que me pidieron ese servicio a sugerecia de Ud.

Estamos en una etapa de cambios para crecer. Con sus bendiciones hasta un mudo puede hablar elocuentemente.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! All Glories to Guru Maharaj HPS...we are missing the lotus feet soooo much!!

Hare Krishna !!!

Dear Guru Maharaj,

We had a wonderful Rath Yaatra....The Lordships returned to the temple only at around 9pm. The yaatra began at 1.30pm. Sending you just 2 photos. Had gone through Guru Maharaj's heavy schedule.

Regarding whether my family worshipped Shiva.....as far as I remember my great grandfather was a staunchVaishnava ....to this day I don't know how he could recite the scriptures daily , every morning....illiterate that he was! My grandparents and my parents are Vaishnavas too. I don't remember my ancestors worshipping Shiva...though I used to observe Shivratri on a couple of occasions. Of course now after association with ISKCON devotees my concept about Shiva has changed thoroughly. I pay my obeisances but I don't worship Shiva as such.

On Snan Yatra and Rath Yatra....we prepared chappan bhoga. Guru Maharaj ...is it alright for me to prepare bhoga for Jagannath.....I am yet to take Bhrahmin diksha. This time I prepared some items as there were just a handful of us available for service... kindly instruct me....

Thank you so much for finding time to reply.....thank you so very much....

I am still in First Canto....is it ok to read the Fourth canto...Shiva part?

Wishing you all the best dear Guru Maharaj

I remain....

Indebted forever servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Hare Krsna. Yes, Bhoga for Lord Jaganatha. He is Patita Pavana. Yes, fourth canto. You are a neophyte pure devotee. Is there special Manipuri worship of Lord Jagannatha? Other groups have the festival? Where is the cart from?

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON, NIOS.

HpS - AGTSP. Paoho..

Dear Maharaj, Kingsville is only a half hour flight or few hours​ drive from Houston. If you can visit here your holiness' blessings could be distributed to Kingsville. If​ we can plan a NIOS workshop or conference or book release of Solaris magazine promotion here at Texas A&M University, I can contact local professors, student chapters, and churches for an interfaith dialogue or event.

Yhs,
Aja

HpS - First, how is your spiritual life. Before you can teach you must be situated within reach.

You have a happy heart from full morning program?

What would you say is a full morning program?

I think we can do something very nice in your mental institution, university.

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja.

PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to your glorious sankirtana!
