Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisances
All Glories to Sri Guru & Gauranga
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Thank you for your fast response, and excuse me for my slow response from the last letter, this 3 weeks where intense... At least, we did Gandharva Yajña with Aravinda Prabhu and some of the Grihasthas of the comunity who knows our persons, the documentation of Sri Radha for civil Wedding hasn't showed up yet... About your Questions, we were doing Mangala-aratik at 5:30  5 days/week and 2 preaching programs in Queretaro (we are co-authorities with Vanamali Prabhu (ex-president for Mx. Temple)). Not going so well with rounds but getting them done so far... we are reading a nice book about Garbhadhana Samskara from CTE it includes SB stories with SP purpports.

After the Gandharva wedding we started a sankirtan mini-marathon, for the last 3 weeks.... i missed a lot of rounds, i took note of each of them and right now i am paying the debt; we took the desition to come to Uruapan Mich. for two months with Murli Manohara Dasa (director of a preaching center with gorgeous deities called Sri Sri Nitai Gaura-Candra) , a great great friend of mine, who is also a psichologist so Sri Radha can take a 8 weeks course and i could prepare a project which i want to develop as a service for ISKCON devotees and  also as my income activity.

Please Gurudeva, i want to know if my project is permitted inside of ISKCON before i start to spend next two months doing the plans, i hope you can tell me... The main idea is to create an iskcondesireetree.net---kind of web, for audio and maybe video classes from Gurus/Senior devotees all in spanish for all the latin-american devotees who doesnt speak english. The "job" will be to collect recorded classes from their disciples or local devotees -i have already kind of half a Terabyte of Spanish classes- and also translate more from different ISKCON Gurus from english and edit the audios (as if they where recorded in the temple with instant translation) and also to administrate the web. For that Quest i will be searching for REGULAR donnors and Sponsors who want to promote their services or products on the web. So, is it a possible whithin ISKCON, or is it just pie in the sky?

Thank you SO-VERY-MUCH! for all your effort trying to serve your own spiritual master.

Your aspirant to service

HpS - ASA - Of course, you should co-ordinate with GBC authority. Then it is in ISKCON administration. As a project I would say that you need some partners. If it is O.K. with GBC and some partners you can start the project and see what is the result. Work on it for some time, like three months, and see the result. See if there are other similar projects and join with them so that you don't duplicate the work.

Of course, ANYTHING we do will be improved in the very best manner as we improve our 16-rounds. We are damaging any project that we do by minimizing our Japa.

Nice photos!    Best wishes for everything. You seem to be doing very well!!   Just do better.

Hare Krishna beloved and esteemed Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you so much for your inspiration gurudev,

Your fallen servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HPS ASA -- Thank you for the list of devotees. Big team. You can change the world. We opened asked reviewed the Link. It is very informative as a record. What I saw. To go from live show to a video is definite work, no?

You have to edit and even better, take some time and directly film the scenes as you are going to show them. E.g. close-ups, cutting from face to face. It can be worth the time. Maybe you have a five minute summary and the whole recording as an archive. If you have two cameras for the live recording that is super. Then you can do very simple editing between the two and her six times the effect.

Hare Krishna GuruMaharaj! All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please accept my humble obeisances.

I continue in Madrid now is summer!! Very hot!!

I have different news.

I went to communication congress of ISKCON in Vila Vrindavan Italy. The experience was very good (4 days) and I learned a lot from the different devotees. Many people from all Europe and a few from North America.

 I was talking with two very seniors devotees about the situation in Mayapur (one of them couldn’t speak Spanish this is why I was in the conversation, I was helping to translate). One of these devotees is one of the main GBC in ISKCON, with the information that I know now of Mayapur I think that it’s not a good idea to try to go now, maybe it’s better in the future. I hope that they can solve the problems but under my very little understanding will be very very very difficult. I would like a lot to go in the future to pass the course of brahminical culture in Mayapur Academy.

In Madrid there is one of the two Master diploma of all Spain about “ciencias de la religiones” I started some days ago to compile all the documents that are necessary to enter in the master. The master is one year and after of that you can start to do a doctorate. My parents are very happy with the idea of return to the university. The temple will help me with the payment of the studies. If I pass the selection of the university I will start the master in October, I could continue without problem with the service in the temple because the classes would be in the afternoon.

Two days ago we started to worship Tulsi Devi again, we have been caring the seed from the begging and now it’s enough big to worship, all the devotees in the temple are very happy with Tulsi Devi.

There are daily classes in the temple, today I had the exam of Sri Upadesamrita (only nectar of devotion and I will finish bhakti sastri). I hope to start soon to learn word by word the Gurvastak. In a few weeks, we will close the ashram because we are going to do reforms, in the finals days of August we are going to open again, Ratha Yatra will be the first or second week of September.

My mother returns from India (She was there 3 months) a few days ago, she loves the experience. She was visiting different temples (also ISKCON temples), touristic spots and helping to some catholic nuns to take care of children from the street.

Thanks for your instructions and advices.

Your servant Mantri Rama Das.

HpS - Wow! You have a very interesting life! Any news of Jara Mara Hari Das? How is Dandava Das and others.

Can you teach in public schools with the Masters degree?

Tulasi! SB classes! Just go ahead.

We are all waiting for more news.

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Dandavat Pranam

HpS - ASA. -- So very, very, very nice to hear from you!

We had tried two three times to sit together with the present Mandir Management Committee Members along with Bonamali Prabhu and  some bhaktas of Imphal to start the functioning of the Thoubal Mandir in the ISKCONsystem  (padhati) but with some reason or other we could not sit together and solved all matters. In our small mandir there are three groups 1) Bhagavat Shiksha Aashram Group of Three Members who construct this mandir 2) Initiated under ISKCON padhati consisting of Three Members among the management committee who wants to run the mandir in their own style and 3) Initiated under ISKCON padhati but outside the management committee consisting of 10 (ten) members. 

Some days back, one of the members of the present management group suggested to Bonomali Prabhu for siting together all the three groups so we are planning for a meeting on Sunday the 19th June, 2016. We hope, all problems may be solved and run the mandir together with the blessing of Guruji, Gouranga Mahaprabhu  and Radha Krsna.

We need  Guruji advice to all the initiated bhaktas what to do and what not to do.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - AgtSP. Put Vaisnava relations before administrative relations. Means, apply Text 4 and 5 in having progressive relations. Make friends with devotees in terms of their advancement.

Chant together. Share Prasad and then make a few practical plans for Temple functions like arati, class, festivals.

Within this there will be everybody's different group of friends. That it's natural. Finally you must have your own direct relationship with Srila Prabhupada through other transparent devotees, his books, super soul etc.

1. Work as members of ISKCON

2. Associate with your friends in ISKCON.

3. Communicate with your Acharya, Srila Prabhupada.

o.k?

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krsna Gurudev, porfavor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Gurudeva voy a serle sincera en el reporte del sadhana de este mes, hemos tenido altibajos al levantarnos temprano, acabamos de abrir  un pequeño Restaurante snak vegetariano llamado "Mukunda", mucho trabajo estas semanas que no hicimos mangala artik pero si cantamos nuestras 25 rondas aunque malas, 4 principios bien y poca lectura.

HpS ASA. - Hare Krsna. Prioridades, no? Desarrolla de un Centro o restaurants es super, pero sin Brahma muhurta convierta modalidad de bondad y no transcendental pronto. Jaya.

Vi a mi padre hace unos dias, viajamos juntos, como extrañaba su compañía, y quisiera estar más tiempo con mi familia. Por ahí mi padre me dijo que estudie educación más adelante.

ASA - Puede ser util, no?

En agosoto P. gadai está viajando de sankirtana viajero, algo que yo estoy de acuerdo, yo entiendo que él es un predicador y por tal siempre voy a apoyarlo y yo me quedaré por Huancayo en el negocio y estudiando.

Estamos muy tristes porque nuestro avance espiritual no esta hiendo bien con las rondas y el sadhana pero el trabajo no es pretexto para no hacer vida espiritual.

Gurudeva, perdone mis ofensas, voy a mejorar el sadhana y leer más, el sankirtana de libros ahora no lo estoy haciendo, no estoy cualificada espero pulir mis ofensas al hablar para algun dia ser merecedora de este servicio y  espero al menos un dia a la semana hacerlo

Hare Krsna

Nadiya nivasi Dasi

ASA - Adelantar es establecer amistad eterno con diferente devotos. Amistad es hacer yoga juntos.
