Letters to the editor

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y su Sankirtan eterno!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, reciba mis reverencias, le escribi en mi carta anterior sobre algunos planes. Acá en Huancayo, el lugar es bueno, muchas personas interezadas en ser vegetarianas y algunas en conocer la conciencia de krsna. 

Nosotros queremos construir una bace para  los  Sankirtaneros,  ya sean peruanos o del extranjero, para que puedan venir y hacer Sankirtan acá en Huancayo y claro en algunas partes del Perú.

Hacer Maratones de Sankirtan "Distribución de libros", esa es nuestra principal preocupación, puesto que la distribución de libros de Srila Prabhupada a disminuido  enormemente en todo el Perú.

 Primero es establecer una bace para SANKIRTANEROS en Huancayo,  lo demas vendra por añadidura "distribución de prasadha, Harinans, conferencias, etc".

Guru Mahraj tengo 3  preguntas, por favor espero me pueda responder:

¿Que debemos de hacer si en Huancayo hay rivalidades entre devotos de diferentes centros?

HpS - Pienso NOI Texto 4-6 son muy bueno para contemplacion en los principios basicas de como asociar con otros. Segunda, siempre realcionando con los autoridades administrativas como GBC, Consejo Regional, Presidente del Templo. Entonces, tomando inspiracion de su inteligencia y amigos 

¿Si la asosiación entre devotos es importante, que debemos de hacer si devotos mayores se critican y se ofenden entre ellos?

HpS - La misma, NOI 4-6, y claro mientras leyendo los demas libros de Srila Prabhupada va a leer mas detalles. 

¿Es mejor alejarce y centrarce en los libros de Srila Prabhupada y los planes de Sankirtan?

HpS - Claro. Eso es Kali-yuga, entonces la Yuga-dharma es Sankirtan, y asociacion con sankirtaneros!

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido y nuevamente mis reverencias!!!!

Hare Krsna!!!

HpS - ASA --  Claro aun Madhyama Adhikari devotos tiene deseos materiales, entonces esa aveces resulten en actos ofensivas, pero por que son madhyama adhikaris, podemos evitar sus apegos material y asociar con sus apegos espiritual.

Dear Gurudeva, deseando siempre que se encuentre bien de salud, agradeciendole ante todo por su tracendental y misericordiosa visita a Cusco, los devotos se llenaron de muchas energias y entusiasmo para seguir su vida espiritual.

A sido muy importante para mí comentarle sobre las cosas que hago y deseo hacer y recibir sus bendiciones. Conversamos con Adolfo Astete, el que le entrevistó en el canal de TV, puede darnos un espacio en su programa para predicar, vamos a estad ascesorados por LAD, nos puede dar 10 min a la semana, eso esta muy para empezar y tenemos que preparar los temas que queremos exponer.

El proyecto que iniciaremos con mi esposa está en proceso en el siguiente informe le adelantará los detalles. Nuestro servicio activo en el Templo para los programas de domingo será de dos veces al mes como quede con P Goura Rupa. Dear Gurudeva, el deseso es de sevirlo de la mejor manera solo para complacerlo. Que la misericordia de Sri Krishna de derrame siempre sobre UD. Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva.

su inutil sirviente

HpS - Muchas gracias su carta!   Que pasa con Gaura rupa y el restaurante?  Programas regular por alla?   Hari Nam sankritan, book distribution?         Despues de volver estamos hablando con Nitai-gaurasundara Das y los devotos de EEUU quien ha ido a Cusco y Machu pichu y esperando asociacion de vds, pero, no asociacion!

Pues mas noticias!!   Quien es el presidente??

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada and Prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji's padmacharan that today I am so much happy to get Guruji's letter after a long cap. I had suspected on the ground that " Is there any mistack in my question or answer to Gurugis letter". After getting Gurujis reply all suspection or doughts  were all finishe. In future, I can wait any time Guruji's reply as ashirvat or amita.

Our Name hata / Nama Sankirtana is progressing week by week. We will add some new methods of bhajans and chanting one round loudly for all participates. Some one is suggesting to change the site week after week, but not yet finalize. Please suggest us any system or pattern performed in other countries and centres.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Hare Krsna, Prabhu. AGTSP.   One delay in our answering letters is that we are a little lazy. We fight with that. Another is we have so much service some times and we let our correspondence fall to a low level. That is not good. We should always keep correspondence at a high priority.

Third reason is that we are traveling sometimes and then so many people want to talk with us, so there is no time to answer letters, unless they are marked URGENT.

So, we are just now answering this letter. There are two more from your good self. We will see those and then answer all of them in the most recent one.

Thank you.

Hare Krsna, Prabhus,

AGTSP paoho...  We have sent and received some letters about the administrative situation in Peru. Jagajivana Das sent a couple and the complications of what we said, or what we were supposed to have said etc. have become astounding to us so we answered Prabhu's last letter with this proposal:

==========================

Esteemed Jagajivana Prabhu,
Hare Krsna
AGTSP!!!   Thank you for your quick response and valuable service.
Dealing with this stuff by e-mail is just ridiculous: I said, he said, they said, Ooof!
My program and what I preach to everyone in public and private is just to base your life on NOI. Beyond that I would have to hear in detail about what I was supposed to have said to make any personal response.
Incredible.
In any case, we have no plans for visiting Peru until at least January of next year, but one thing that I don't want to turn into too political an issue is that now we are the officially the Examiner for the Bhakti Sastri Diplomas. We have given about 75 of them, but I just can't handle the work anymore, so I have told several people that we want to resign from that position. Of course, if the Yatra wants to continue with the diplomas they need to make some arrangement with the Ministry of Education.
Beyond that, we are of course in personal communication at times on the administrative situation in Peru with Mathuresha, Caturatma, Laksmana, Candra mukhi, Yamunesvara, Omkara, Abhirama, Palika and so many more. I almost never bring up the points, but again and again get approached about the situation there.
So, a simple solution is that we will only deal with these things in our Blog. It is an open forum and there we can all see "What Maharaja said".
O.K?
We hope Krsna increases your Sankirtan unlimitedly

================

One comment that we received by mail is that "you have made
public negative comments concerning certain ISKCON officers, specifically M.
Ganga."    Honestly I can't remember making any public comments about any of these things, and I have always had very intense affection for Yamunesvara, Mataji and amost everybody on the National and Local Councils that I know. Some people I don't know.

Of course, yes, we all need comments from friends about how to deal with our practical life, and that is the thing that we have learned from Ateya Rsi Das, Bhakti svarupa Damodara Maharaja, Sesa Prabhu, and so many. Canakhya and Socrates both make the comment that it is better to have a wise man for an enemy than a fool for a friend.

So, what to speak of having a wise man for a friend. How can I make progress unless my intelligent friends point out my blind spots.

O.K. Enough of that for today.

Look at some of our letters.

Pamho, AgtSP, Agt harinam sktn.

Hare Krishna Gurudev, I wish you are very well and extatic in service....

Things are going very nice here in Nova Gokula,Brasil....This weekend  we are comemorating 50 years aniversary of ISKCON. SRILA PRABHUPADAS LOTUS FEET.

Bhaktas program is going very well. There is 5 bhaktas already in the asram, full sadhana, Upadesamrta study and learning book distribution. This service is helping me a lot to get fixed, am learning so much and is helping me a lot to work my false ego and anarthas... 

Personaly Im very satisfy with this service, I have good sadhana worship Radha Gokulananda once a week and cooking for deity...Im taking some instruccioons from Maharaja Danwantary and Maharaja Kesava Swami...Posible in october we do a sankirtan trip with Kesava Maharaja to Argentina...for 1 month..

Radharani, is giving us a lot of mercy and sometimes it looks like She's acepting our poor service..

I been talking with Nandanadana das about your possible visit to Brasil..planing to serve you..And we wanted to invite you to spend one more week so you can do some preaching programs in Sao Paolo, Nova Gokula and San Jose dos Campos if it is possible I could perchase your ticket from Sao Paulo airport to Rio de Janeiro for your departure or when you get your ticket you can arrive to Rio and departure from Sao Paulo. 

Ammmm very sorry not to write you so offten and ask you to spend more time in Brasil..

Thank you for every thing you do for us and to accept our poor service.

Please pray  for this poor servant...

HARE KRISHNA!!!!!

HpS - Highly Esteemed Poor Servant et al

Hare Krsna! Being a teacher forces you to show what you are talking about. Who benefits more, students our teacher.

I think we will do fast tour of Houston, Mexico City, Guayaquil, Lima (Arrequipa), Santiago, Buenos Aires (Mar de Plata), Symposium in Brazil, Houston.

Hmmm?

Then die.

Actually go to new body.

Send some Sankirtan news if you can.

Hare Krishna Beloved and esteemed Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada 

Feeling Sad for seeing so much suffering, knowing that people around us will suffer. Push me to pull this KC cart, Prabhupada Yatra!!

Had three hours meeting with His Grace Virabahu Prabhu, super good and practical advices about grihastha ashram life. Something happened after that meeting, it was mystical but upastha vegam decreased like 95%. Now i see things much more clearer. 4 principles strictly ok. 

HpS - Wonderful. Wonderful. I would like such mercy.

I'm doing mangal aratik once a week at el loft, FMP, then at home. 16 R ok. Still i have big debt from previous hellish tours!!A

Building "my " house at Sri Govardhan farm, hope i can move next october. Really i want to gradually abandon this urban lifestyle to shift to a more plain and simple rural life. I'm doing big research about cow grazing and varnasrama. I'm sure being around cows is the best sadhu sanga, I experienced that at Bhakti Raghava Maharaja's farm in south india near Udupi.

Monkey-Piggy. - Yeah, why hang out with girls when you can hang out with cows!

On the other hand I was selected to be a Profesor at Med School University. Mdp National University is opening med school next year. Is a very interesting project,and now I'm making a course about pedagogy which is a sine qua non for being a profesor at the university. Of course the main reason I want to be there is for preaching, but i wonder wether is worthy the sacrifice. The environment is full of atheism, feminism and supporters of evolution theory. What do you think Gurudev?

ASA - Try it out.

Last week we have the first Trascendental film festival at El Loft, the entrance fee was bhoga for our Ffl program, we presented a documentary about our community which was made by local cinema students. We are preparing a play for janmastammi, Gita Concise, very nice.

Local preaching is super, programs every day at el loft, harinam, book and prasadam distribution, columns in local newspapers every week and in radio show twice a week.  Now we go for a Gurukula at our farm.

Hope you can visit us in your next South America tour, you can stay at "my" cave at Sri Govardhan.

Thank you Gurudev, you have parah budhi, super inspiring,

Your little bit less fallen servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Join the Symposium on education in Brazil end of January. Full primary school support.

Our respects to Maha-Jana et al. Thanks for photos!
