Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Gurudev,

Please accept our humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thankyou so much for your instruction and I want to take it very seriously. If there is any further advice on how I can best execute making sure my husband and children get picked up and dont fall down again and again, I would like to do my best to humbly apply. I realize I cant force anyone to attend devotional events or go places. I am still attending weekly and trying to offer some service to the children on a weekly basis. I do feel that I need to do so much more and at times feel at a loss. I am working full time and trying to support an emerging teenager full-time now as well. My husband is home homeschooling and taking care, chanting his rounds. Any further guidance is appreciated.

Also, I tried to deselect a photo of a baby that was on my computer and was posted in the last letter. The website would not go back and let me deselect. If we can unpublish or take down this photo Gurudev this would be appreciated. It was sent by accident.

Thankyou and begging to be of a lot more service to Srila Prabhupada and ISKCON,

Kamagayatri dd

hps/asa -- agtsp. so happy to hear of your good spirits and situation. do not think that your efforts are not used by KRSNA in achieving wonderful goals.

we found the previous Post. found a very nice picture of a baby which we sadly removed. then we found some files with unknown video file-type extensions that we also removed.

is that oll korrect?

it, the sun, is at 2.42pm here in nila-madhava dhama.

today, since 1.17am, our bodily energy has been very low.

ragged heart beats etc.

INDRIYA

maybe this body, buddy, burro will collapse today, pusya-abhiseka purnima.

nice day to travel to next destination.

in any case seems we have to accept that it may be very low on physical and mental strength from here on.

INDRIYA/MANAS

experiencing excellent intellectual and spiritual development.

BUDDHI/ATMA

hope that you-all become more and more integrated in guru and gauranga's limitless sankirtan adventure and work!

Sri Hari Das,, hps, ngd Met

From 9.30 to 10.15AM.

Saturday 20th Feb.

Tom Brown was the Acting Secretary. 🐵 🐒

🚩 ngd will drive by the Jackson Heights Mall and look for a phone number for Property Management and rental enquiries.

hps arrives at nios/asa Base Camp at 902 hillcrest (across the street from the JHM) on 26th february and SHD about the same time. They will both Camp there and reconnoiter the situation.

If His Divine Grace permits,

NIOS will lease a Store Front in the Mall for:

1. Full Morning Service (Holy Orders).
2. Dance and Marshall Arts classes. 💃 👯 💃
3. Language Classes. 🎏
4. Saturday//Sunday, Festival Events.
5. Evening Events.
6. Cultural Center for ISKCON Gujurati Community.
7. Yoga events for MTS University students and faculty.
8. Launching Pad for Rural Campus.

• SHD investigate buying/renting house(s) in The Boro for whole family. Eg Hillcrest Dr. often has low income, nice, house rentals and sales. Do you want to rent a a house there and then buy a plot in the Campus Development?

NgD suggests that Subhadra-mayi can teach at the Campus.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

Adding question here on blog on your request: Maharaj, do you suggest we move to Nashville now, or should I complete metal weapon training for another 6 months and then we move 🙏🏻.

your servant,

SM DD

HpS - AgtSP. Please accept out humble obeisances and well wishes!!

Thank you for your question here, and any inconvenience in having to wait for a week for an answer.

95% of three hundred V-puja guests gone home!

Our NIOS Campus Development Committee = HpS, NgD and ShD will meet for the second time, tomorrow.

So far we all have interest but I am focusing on first meeting, getting a place to meet, for full morning service in Murfreesboro or so.

I put the common Sadhana as the basis of physical locations before land and buildings, but they are related.

NgD home might be nice, but problem is they are often taking care of their grand daughter = Heroes!

Then there is possibility we could rotate between different houses on different days of the week in The Boro. Other possibility is renting a place in the Mall across the street from our 902 Hillcrest building.

Without progress in this facility we would be pushed to go on to Spain, New Vraja Mandala, and anyone who wants could follow!

Then Radha kunda (follow us)

.... and Nabadvipa is another universe with Nimai!! (Follow us)?

So.... first I would think that Sri Hari Das might want to see what is the situation for a few weeks, month(s) before making a move to Tennessee. Houston or Austin might be better????

Although we see Nashville as prime place for ISKCON Teacher Training College etc.

How much longer to finish your studies?

Few months?

We can't give any more help than the above information.

What does ShD and AGD et al think?

Maharaj, PAMHO AGTSP!

You were speaking in one class that Gandharva are Fairies, Trolls are Rakshasas, Bhutas are ghosts etc. Maharaj, anywhere I can find more of these translations of creatures?

Like in Harry Potter there are different creatures that look after the vaults, etc. JK Rowling creates a world much like ours but with many different kinds of creatures.

Our SP’s books already have many species. If we can leverage those and show other kinds of life-forms related to pastimes, a lot of interesting stories can take birth.

I’m trying to write the story for our Ramayan in a new bottle.

Ys,

SMDD

HpS/ASA - Thank you! We remember in one Translation like in the first few cantos that Srila Prabhupada directly writes, "Gandharvas (Fairies)". You can probably find it with a keyword search on Vedabase.Io.

💻 😯

Other than them, and for them, we just see considerable similarity in description of character, activities and abodes of:

• Trolls = Raksasas.
• Kusmandas = Imps.
• Nagas = Chinese Dragons.

We don't know the where the lists are but we see them again and again, maybe in places like the different species coming to take milk from Bhumi in 'Maharaja Prthu Milks the Earth' etc.

Maybe one Blog reader can give more suggestions!

I don't know about Harry Potter, but C. S. Lewis [?] with "The Lord of the Rings" et al was basing his beasts [?] on very traditional description. He was Oxford professor.

O.K.??? Try asking in one of the online classes if need too.🙂

Thank you!

Hare Krsna Guru maharaja

AGTSP

PAMHO

How is the health?

asa- agtSP, 60%

How is the rain?

ASA - occasional. sufficient, Jaya Sri Krsna.

How are the devoties?

ASA - 75-95%

Here in Chile the sankirtan is really nice (in comparison whit Argentina) now the number of books disteibuted is close to 60 (for the moment is 54 medium and 4 little Gitas) and now I'm treating to make every day, so I hope at the end of the next 4 or 5 months have the enough money to travel with you.

ASA - Do you know where we are traveling? 🙂 🚀🚀🚀

For the moment chanting all my rounds (sometimes with a lot of effort and other times in a very simple way) But at the end of the day I finish all of them, also I'm following the 4 principles and also (Since I start reading Tava Pache Pache [TPP] I'm also eating less and less of the things that are not necesary for this body and that is helping me very much in Sankirtan).

ASA - 🐵... 🐖 🐖 🐖 we follow your path!!

Also in sankirtan i meet many diferent people, sometimes I simply go to a couple (that from a distance seems to be a really happy one) but when i go closer enough I can see how they were not happy but crying. Also I have meet very nice people, the other day maybe 2 or 3 day ago I meet a brittish man from yorkshire he was really nice and was in the search for something spiritual and he was tired of material life (he was really joung maybe like 26)

we talk and make a good frienship but he just speak inglish so he wasin't able to buy a book,

that I like the 3rd person from other lenguaje that get interested in a book or the filosofy but for language barrier I'm not able to give them a book (because the book is in spanish)

maybe i should try to get some inglish and portuges books also y notice that my sankirtan works better in inglish,

ASA - 👍 Even print some nice purports from VedaBase.Io in the language you need.

Is kinda funny that im my mother language is not so effective jajaja.

Also as a last thing I will like to ask if i can take second iniciation, because I have now the bhakti shastri and also I will really like to take it and be able to to adore deities.

HpS - How strict is your Morning Program? Does you Temple President think you are ready.

Does your Father think you are ready?

Dog.

Uncle?

Now, whit little to few to add I say good bye Guru Maharaja.

(The pictutes will go in less than 3 days if this page alows it)

Thank you for your kind words. We are collecting all the Annual Reports etc. in one file and then will read and appreciate them!
