Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaja 

I left Murari farm 3 weeks ago on OK terms. I didn't tell them the real reasons I was leaving because I didn't want conflict. I could tolerate the differences in opinion to an extent but the criticisms went too far and they were making heavy offenses toward you and Iskcon. Alyssa stayed there and is taking shelter of them hoping for initiation. I am living on my parents land with them and have been feeding them prasadam. I'm about to plant a big orchard and gardens. I am pretty busy with this project, working outside and reading up on sustainable methods, permaculture etc. Adjusting to living here  has been a little hard, slipped up on 4 regs and sadhana went down. Now I'm getting more serious and doing better, chanting has gotten easier I have been doing 16 rounds the past 3 days my vow is at least 10. I'm following the 4 regs, reading NOD plus calling advanced devotees for an hour everyday to read CC together, and hearing lectures all day long. This will be my permanent residence from now on. I'm hoping to get this farm going and make a small living selling produce at farmers markets plus distribute Prabhupada's books from our stand. Hoping to go out and distribute books at local colleges or in saint Louis at least once a week as well. And also planning to attend Stl temple every week, it's an hour away. I've been missing your association a lot. Hopefully I can visit you when you come back to Murfreesboro. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and the assembled devotees!

Your aspiring disciple,

Bhakta Daniel

All Glories to Sripada and Prabhupada

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brnda Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's padmacharan that I had never read such talks with Prabhupada or someone what ever I have read. Prabhu Haridasa also reng  and advice me not to ask such confidential matters through letters or in the blog but it should be dicussed personally. Exuse me for such un etiquate behavious as a kaniska adhikari. Sometimes, I want to site together with Guruji for such personal matters but no time (chance ) as senior brahmacharis surrounded for Guruji's service even I could not touch Guruji's padmacharan. We have so many lapses for training of such personal matters for spiritual advancement, but as Guruji know, who will guide us?

We have another plan and in the middle Dr. Nandalal arranged cultural programme (Goura-Lila) and take many valuable times. During such time if get a chance to sing Harinama Sankritan with Guruji sing and we follow. How  will we satisfy and enjoy to participate Hariname Sankrtana? God nows.

On the other hand, Sanaton one person unknown to me arranged to demonstrate the art exibition on the same programme with Nabadwipchandra Das and colided with our programme. They want to narrate with Guruji about the painted posters by taking some time with Guruji, that also inclompleted.

All these are happen due to non-co-operation by those initiated two/ three bhaktas who are running Mandir in their own way. When we call for dicussion about our Gurujis programme they never turnup and respond positively but at the middle they insurted their wishes. Most members did not turn up for Gurupujah and daksina. It is quite wanderfull. In one sense it might be our weakness.

After hearing about Silchar programme through Haridas, I am so happy that the bhaktas gather their and daksinas donated (dan) to Guruji. That is beyond our capacity. I had given my little daksina  with pure tear from heart.

Lastly excuse me again, Dandavat pranam.

Dear Hanumatpresāka Swami, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am now back in the USA working very hard to buy a new sankirtana van for book distribution and have better sadhana and relationships with devotees.

I am writing to beg you and the Vaisnavas’ blessings and well wishes in this regard.

Thank you for your encouragement and inspiration. 

Hare Krishna.

Your servants,
Prahlāda-Nrsiṁha das and Chandrānanā devi dasi

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja.

Pamho, AGTSP!

I hope you're OK . I wish I had the strenght you have. I'm lazy and self indulgent, but I'm doing something for Srila Prabhupada and you.

After Chile we had 2 courses with Aravinda Prabhu: FacilitationI and Management and Lidership. 10 intense days. After that we went to Huancayo (central sierra) for a weekend. Gave 2 seminars along with Abhinanda das. One about Srila Prabhupada as founder-acharya of ISKCON and the other one about Filosophy of Education based on your papers and conferences. Right after that we went to Arequipa for a week to give disciples course. 10 new graduates. 

Now, We've just started a new semestre. 10 estudents for bhakta course, Introducción al Bhakti-yoga, presencial and on-line. People from Chosica, Cuzco and Arequipa.

Lots of opportunities on Education. M. Govindanandini in Bolivia is now a NIMSAR member giving the bhakta course. We are helping her and P. Karunya Nitay from Ecuador to get the qualification to teach disciples course in their own area. We are going soon to Ecuador and Bolivia to help them. Then Cuzco and Tarapoto. Maybe Chiclayo.

NIMSAR is progressing. We are very excited. We are trying to get a proyector, etc. Always politics bothering...but we are doing our job.

We are trying to work on BVB as well. M. Candra mukhi and I. She's researching about application and I just started revising all the study guides. 

The idea is presenting BVB by modules. First Pada padma, etc. Our goal is to start all over again by August, with your blessing and actual help.

Please, again, we need your blessings to advance. I thing NIMSAR and I are working with sincerity and comittement for the sake of ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada and you.

your servant,

LAD
