Letters to the editor

HARE KRISHNA DEAR GURUDEVA, AGTSP, AGTYOU!

I HOPE THAT WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS EMAIL, YOU ARE HEALTHY.

ASA - Could be better, could be worse. We have to conquer our senses more!

I WRITE IN ENGLISH LIKE A CHILD, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS BETTER FOR YOU.

I´M VERY HAPPY TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE COMING TO SPAIN AND AT THE SAME TIME, I FEEL PAIN, BECAUSE MAYBE, I AM NOT ABLE TO GO TO MADRID,  BUT I HOPE I CAN ARRANGE IT!

HpS - I think you should be able too do it!  God helps those who help themselves.  You see the Calendar we are discussing with Jayanta Das. 3-6 morning in NVM. Then 6-12th in Espiritu Santo. Maybe go back to NVM a little more if that is convenient for devotees who want to come to visit with us, no?

DURING ALL THIS TIME, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LISTEN TO MY HEART TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT MY NATURE AND WITH THE HELP OF KRISHNA AND A BOOK (ABOUT PERSONAL GROWTH ) NOW I CAN KNOW WHO I AM.

HpS - Wonderful!  Yet, even Krsna does not always know who He is!

DUE TO THIS I AM NOW STUDYING COUNSELLING IN THE SPANISH ASSOCIATION OF THERAPY CENTERED IN THE PERSON AND COUSELLING (CARL ROGERS) THIS ASSOCIATION HAS VERY GOOD TEACHERS, THE DIRECTOR ACADEMY HAS A VERY NICE CURRICULUM. WHEN I READ ABOUT HIM, I IMMEDITALY I THOUGHT OF YOU, " I AM SURE THAT GURUDEVA WOULD LIKE TO MEET HIM" I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HIM ON THE PHONE, HE LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PERSON TO ME. SO IF YOU WANT I CAN ASK HIM.

ALSO I AM LEARNING TO DEVELOPE WEB AN DESING, WITH THE  LANGUAGES OF PROGRAMATION  HTML Y CSS. (INTENERT TATTVA) 

ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE A MONTHLY  PREACHING PROGRAM,  ARROUND THIS AREA.

 THERE ARE SOME GROUPS OF YOGA, THEY ARE IMPERSONALIST BUT AT SAME TIME THEY ARE QUIET OPEN.

SO THE IDEA IS TO BE ABLE TO FIND OUR SPACE  BETEWEN THIS GROUPS, PRESENTING THE MAHA MANTRA WITH A THERAPEUTIC APPROACH, AS A MEANS TO DEVELOPE THE CONSCIOUSSNES AND THE SELF-HEALLING. 

WE ARE PREPARING OUR FIRST PRESENTATION, ALTHOUGH, WE DONT HAVE A DATE STILL.

SO WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR NEW LIFE, OUR RELATIONSHIP AS A COUPLE IS MORE MATURE, SO THERE IS A BALANCE AND I THINK THAT THIS IS POSITIVE FOR OUR KRISHNA CONSCIOUSSNES. I AM STILL TRYING TO TRANSFORM  MY LUST IN LOVE. 

THAK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GUIDE Y COMPASSION, I HOPE, SOME DAY, I CAN BECOME YOUR DISCIPLE.

I TAKE YOU ALWAYS IN MY HAERT,

BHADRA V.

HpS - Very, very nice. Carl Rogers was a nice person when we read his books. They are dealing with reality so it is the same no matter what name it has, but some are Mayavadis and some are Brahmavadis.  They both are transcendental in a general sense but one set is envious of Krsna as a person and the other just doesn't know about him. Go ahead with full enthusiasm!  See you soon.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Below is the summary of 1.1.19 - 1.1.23.

Verse Summaries:

V 19:

• About developing taste.
• Mundane news is static. Transcendental news is dynamic and above the mode of darkness.
• Prabhupada said that he could write BG again.
• NOD 2:  Devotional service is easier for people who have taste, not for mental speculators.
• Chanting the holy name will increase the taste.
• HpS - ASA -- We also get a taste for hearing and chanting by doing Karma yoga as directed by Guru.  We are mechanics so we fix ISKCON cars then we like to hear!

V 20:

• Summary of Krishna’s super human acts.
• We are eligible for liberation by hearing the above.
• Explains why Krishna was like a human being : To have relationship with devotees.

V 21:

• Regular hearing of Srimad Bhagavatam is the only way for self-realization.

V 22:

• The ocean of Kali is difficult but we have a ship to cross over it and Suta goswami is the captain of the ship.
• Sages of Naimisharanaya are highly intellectual. Their association is incredible.

V 23:

• Question 6: Since Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Absolute Truth, the master of all mystic powers, has departed for His own abode; please tell us to whom the religious principles have now gone for shelter.

Next week's syllabus would be 1.2.1 - 1.2.5. Thank you for your association. We appreciate it and are grateful for it.

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

HpS - Such a nice start.  We arrive Boise 7PM, June 1st and hope to stay for about a week. Our mind says, "What to read?". Then the answer is easy - these SB verses. Of course, we will try to expand the program.

HARE KRSNA DEAR GURUMAHARAJA,

I HOPE YOU ARE FEELING HEALTHY.

HpS - Our liver is recovering. We are getting a practical schedule now that we are in our own cave!

CLAUDIO NARANJO IS IN BERKELEY AT THE MOMENT, HE WROTE US  SAYING HE COULD MEET YOU. 

AND GAVE  US HIS PHONE NUMBER FOR YOU TO CONTACT HIM :xxx

LET US KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO TO SERVE YOU

BHADRA VD AND SANANDA DD

HPS - ASA --- It is 2,500 miles from here, but maybe we can text him to start with. Thank you.

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva

HpS ASA -- O.K.  How do we get it to you?

All Glories to Sri HpS Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Bhativedanta Swami Prabhupada

Radha Krsna, Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brnda Ki Jay

Dandavat Pranam,

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna, Prabhu!!!    We are sorry that it has taken some time to answer your letter. While we were traveling we had meetings with many devotees every day and could not get to the mail. This is the first day alone and your letter is in the first group to answer!!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's Padmacharan that after Guruji's leaving Manipur, my mind could not get peace and always thinking how we will continue Temple Programme regularly. From that day we are also participating regularly every Sunday Programme.

HpS - Sadhu sang, sadhu sanga, sarva sastra koi, Associate with devotees, associate with devotees, all the Sastra's say, "Associate with devotees", this will make everything perfect. Of course, Rupa Goswami in NOI 5 and 6 describes that there are different kinds of devotees, so we have to learn the GREAT, GREAT, art of taking and giving association in the proper ways.

A good news is that once Guruji Maharaja and some members of ISKCON including Partha Sarthi Das met our Chief Minister, O. Ibobi Singh about the development work of creating new Vrndaban  at Kaina from where the Jack fruit tree collected for creation of Radha Krsna Murti (Daruk Murti) got a news that a site for ISKCON  will be reserved there. The detail information will be furnished after the Assembly election of Manipur on the 4th and 8th March, 2017.

HpS - Very interesting. Another place to discuss Krsna!

Haridas Prabhu is coming during Goura Purnima in Imphal and one day he will come to Thoubal also.

HpS - Jaya!   We saw him during the two nights we were in Mayapura.

Nanda Gopa Das is translating some A.C. Prabhupadas Book in Manipuri and will print shortly.

Some months ago once I had requested to highlight the planatery system of Spiritual world (Srsti lila) Goloka Vrndavan – Veikuntha - Karnadaksaya Visnu-Garbadhaksaya Visnu - Khirodaksaya Visnu etc. and from where we will find these things?

ASA - Try starting with SB, Canto 2, Chapter 9. There is much more in other places.

And there are four stages (life) of human being in the spiritual world. What are they? Please let me know?

HpS - Brahmacari, Grhastha, Vanaprastha, Sannyasa. There are some nice descriptions in the instructions of Bhisma deva to Maharaja SB 1.9.26-27.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS -Who is coming on Sunday?

HARE KRISHNA Guru Maharaja!
PAMHO
AGTSP

This morning through StartMeeting you ask me that I gotta write to the blog, informing about this sankirtan day...

SUN DAY OF LOVE

After StartMeeting, there was a misunderstanding between Luis and Abhimanyu together his girlfriend. So, they held a long discussion and suddenly I saw myself in the role of mediator.

Their respective egos did not agree... At least, the tensions generated in the environment were a little softened. And we went out to delivery the books.

Under the Sun, very hard hours... , on a walk near the beach, also on a pier, later a park... in front of a shoping center... person by person... remembering yesterday, people took many "Sankhya" books, but I forgot to take those books with me today...

I stopped to chant some rounds... sitting on the pier floor, an old woman came to me and asked "What books do you sell?", and she took one... I started to chant again... I closed my eyes because the bodies of women walking around distract me... a group of young people came to me and asked the same thing... they took some books and I felt "Krishna wants me doing sankirtan", so I started again and applied the style of distribution that I observed of Abhimanyu Das: I would approach people, shook my hand and I gave a book... it works...

It is difficult to me again to see women as spiritual souls, and this mind affects my sankirtan.

Tomorrow will be another day to try again. I wanna do it into the city buses.
...

Gurudeva, I owe you a report about what happened with my life during the last months.

To day I was remembering our first meet, the interview into the goverment palace...

Thanks, many thanks...

Your aspiring disciple and servant,
CARLOS ROLD
 

HpS - Thank you for the news. Is very, very inspiring. Everybody has problems with the false egos of others!  Not just us!  Just go out with the books!    Send us news of your life as it seems important.
