Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev!!

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Second year without visiting Mar del Plata. Ok it seems we need more purification.

HpS - ASA -- Seems that is just because we have the leads on the Jungiang Society developing, and Ambarisa and Vrsabhanandini, always mention Sankirtan develops like that there.

I will go visit you to Bs As and Cordoba, cooperate with Godbrothers to organize your preaching there!!

HpS - Super!

Last sunday we inaugurated December Marathon and started this program after the feast to go out on harinam and distribute books. It was extatic!!! many devotees joined with kids also. We did 40 small books in one hour 15 min. Manu did 7 and Benja 3, myself 10. When it was time to leave Manu and the rest of the kids didn't want to leave!! They were joyful.

Really the sensation of giving out the holy name and SP's books was unique. We are eager to go out again next sunday!!

Thank you so much for your inspiration!!

At your service,

Nikunja Bihari das.

ASA - Xmas Marathon seems very nice. Some pious sentiments during these days???

Hare Krsna, esteemed Guru Maharaja!!
Dandavats and Pranams!!
ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!
1. You said your health is disintegrating. Have you improved? I have been terribly sick as well but improving now. Praying this letter finds you better and stronger than previously!! You are staying with a devotee who can help you, no? You are always welcome to stay with us. We can put Radha-Gopinatha in the "den" which is where They belong, right as one enters the house - behind the large white French doors (a perfect temple room!) - and you can take what is now the puja room.
HpS - ASA --- One should always have an optimistic view toward spiritual reality and a pessimistic view toward material reality. Our health is going down each day, every day we get closer to death. The real hope is that we are dying a perfect death and after this body is finished we will never have another material body. Janma karma ca me divyam... of course, Srila Narada Muni and Lord Narayana both have spiritual bodies, even though appearing within the physical world, no?

It should have always been that you should be with us, but things got impossible - I'm very sorry. I do the best I can, but it has not been good enough.

ASA - Whatever we lack Krsna finishes!

2. So happy to learn Peru plans are taking shape. I know your heart and soul are in that venue and preaching opportunities in universities there, as well as with the Jungians.

3. I am understanding that you prefer to allow visits to No Ca to take shape as they will. So no more asking for dates. We await your notice of visits as it suits your purposes and Krsna's plans and pray most of the devotees will have open schedules when you decide it is best to visit us.

ASA - Well they are taking shape, but the pace may be a little slow and they may not come to a final shape until after we get to Goloka. ISKCON Sacramento of the Spiritual World.
Specfically, looks like we will be on the West coast like May. Depends on the Boise dates. They are inaugurating a new temple hall!

4. Photos: the reason we did not post our pics in your blog and sent them via text is because there is a limit to the digital size allowed and we didn't know how to shrink the size so they would be accepted in the blog. Is there a web master we can ask for tech support for future photo posting in your blog?

ASA - Just post your technical questions here. If you have Microsoft Office you can right click on the picture and then select "Open With" and then choose "Microsoft Office", then under "Picture", it offers the option of  "Compress pictures". Try that. We await you at the Blog!!  Great pictures.

5. New laptop: Thanks to Prabhu's generosity, I am typing my first letter on my new laptop! it is such a huge relief to be able to sit down and type a letter, or listen to streaming Krsna-related programs, etc

ASA - AGT The Good Robots.

6. Dr. Little, Sac State - Dr. Little, a SAC State professor of comparative religion, attended our Janmastami program. He also attended our Govardhana Hill program with 25 students. While speaking with him on that occasion, I volunteered to share transcendental sound vibration Kirtan with his class after he mentioned to me that his heart was deeply touched when I led Kirtan that evening. He enthusiastically accepted my service offer and will contact me when kirtan will best augment the class subject. Also, Vikasananda Krsna Das, the chief director on our board, has done a lot of teaching in his classes. So, between the two of us, it is certainly possible with Krsna's mercy that we could arrange a teaching spot in one of his classes when you visit! What do you think?

HpS - When does his school year end?

7. Sri Sri Radha-Gopinatha and Their Lordships all have new outfits from Vrindabin!!! So beautiful - unbelievably beautiful. I'll send a photo.

Taking the dust of your lotus feet.

Please forgive my offences.

Hare Krsna!
YUS, Kalindi Devi Dasi

ASA - Thanks for the letter. Any news from Grass Valley? Ron or Lucille went to heaven???

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krishna Gurudev, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Disculpe no escribir antes, mi computador se hecho a perder.

16 rondas y 4 principios OK!!!

Estamos con algunas dificultades para continuar con nuestro servicio del festival de sankirtan en  paseo ahumada, nos estan negando el permiso. Pero se esta saliendo igual con el formato clasico de harinama o bhajans al aire libre.

Gracias a la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada en esta maraton estoy saliendo a distribuir libros algunas horas al dia, tratando de conciliar con la maternidad porsupuesto. 

Por favor ruego por sus bendiciones para poder continuar con nuestro servicio de sankirtan y para llegar a hacerlo con una buena conciencia!!

Esperando con ansias su asociacion!

Su sirvienta eterna

Bhaktin Fernanda Leiva

HpS - Jaya!!!!     Unas noticias de personas innocentes quien Krsna envia a Vd!     Adelante!    Afuera con libros en bolsa y mire Krsna haz la magia, no?

Todas las Glorias al Sankirtana Eterno de Srila Prabhupada!!!

ASA -   Hari bolo..... 

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, reciba mis reverencias, estamos nuevamente en la ciudad de Puno, no pudimos viajar a Santiago de Chile por una falta de comunicación con las autoridades de dicho pais.

HpS - Pues, todo lo que Krsna hace es bueno (SUPER!).

Estoy en Puno con mi esposa, haciendo Sankirtan, la maraton de diciembre, Prabhu Adveita viajo a Chile. Quizás iremos a Bolivia - Oruro - Potosi, por 15 dias.

HpS - caballería para Krsna!!!

El viajar nuevamente a Puno fue muy interezante, pues hablamos de Sankirtana con el presidente del templo de Puno, Prabhu Prahladeswar, discipulo de Jayapataka Swami y miembro de la Junta Nacional de Iskcon - Perú.

HpS - Muy, muy buen devoto, no??? 

El Prabhu se esta convenciendo de que la distribución de libros es lo más importante para arreglar todos los problemas que existen en Iskcon - Perú y por eso el Prabhu ha pedido 5000 mil libros para que los Sankirtaneros puedan distribuirlos en esta Maraton de Srila Prabhupada y los precios estan super comodos para que el sankirtanero pueda distribuirlos.

La idea es que PUNO va a ser un centro, domde,  siempre va a ver libros, todo el año,  el devoto que quiera hacer Sankirtan podra pedir libros y asi viajar a Cusco, Arequipa, Juliaca y Puno. Esa es una muy buena noticia para todo el mundo. Esperemos que por la misericordia del Señor Nityananda esto vaya en crecimiento.

A Prabhu Jagad Bandhu le parecio de mucha importancia lo que esta pasando con el Sankirtan en Puno.

HpS - 3,830 metros!!!    Universidad alla?   Gente culta?

Por otro lado con nuestra salud, ya no tenemos Sinusitis, ahora tenemos Gastritis y así seguimos muriendonos.

HpS - Aparece la misma para nosotros!  El doctor dijo, trata comer suficiente veces como el estomago tiene algo digestir, o va a digestir su misma.

Nuestro Sadhana esta muy bien, Mangal Artik 4:30 am, Japa, 16 rondas y algo más, lectura Krsna book de noche, Srimad Bhagavatam por las mañanas, 4 principios y luchando con mi lujuriosa mente. 

Si todo marcha bien, iremos a Chile para enero, Sankirtan.

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido, Hare Krsna!!!

Gadai Gauranga Das

ASA - Solamente, todo el mundo aqui en esta Blog aprecia mucho sus esfuerzas. Pienso tiene exito por que esta tan caido, no?  La misericoridia de Sri Caitanya va a los mas caidos primero...  Ja!  Ha!   Ga!

Siempre buen cuentas de Sankirtana de la Madre Yugala, K. Kirtan de Mexico, Jambavati!!!   Adelantamos. Atenta al los oportunidades que Krsna envia de todos maneras, no solamente la misma metodo, otra vez, otra vez.  Eso y buscando nuevos!!

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

You wrote: We are working on the ILS program now. The organizers cancelled the idea of an education exhibition and are going to have some kind of ISKCON exhibition.

How much space, what kind of space, when and how many days would you like for education exhibition? 

We can try to get some space from ISKCON Mayapur if ILS didn't want give. If you like I can try to ask Krishna Vijaya Prabhu, who is now general manager. Heard he is is very nice. He may have some place as around that time as there will be lot of stands built for festival right next to the temple. Devotees could book those last years for festival time.

Please let me know, what do you think.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

HpS - AGTSP.  Thank you.  I can't make much decision on this, but will put these ideas to Rama-giridhari Das et al. I think we should just focus on your Vedabase.com presentation as a part of the general education presentation. The I think it will be a poster area like two meters x two meters on some wall.
Also, it can be a live part of the Higher Education presentatin that we will be presenting. Then about ten minutes of PPTX and hand outs.
Also, can do hand-outs to people as they are waiting in lines.

O.K???
Often we think of abandoning all other preaching efforts and just basing in Mayapura and trying to assist you in Vedabase.com.
Hmmmm.   We should have dates for Mayapura, Kolkatta very soon.

Hare Krishna, dear GM, Pamho.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I'm just fine. I little fall down. Gettin up late, the flu, weak rounds, lots of ice-cream and cookies, movies, discouranged, depressed...but still alive. Trying to adjust goals, NIMSAR perspective, relationship with ISKCON administration (getting worse), etc.

I want to fix Bhakti BV. My situation and my students situation. I guess first step is applying to BVB Godfather program. So, I'm requesting to participate in that program. Please, we merciful to me as always, and allow me to be part of it. 

Lots of details we can talk later. I still have a few hot topics about temple, sankirtan, and ashrama situation.

This is it for now. Just wanted to say that I'm still here, damaged, wounded, but alive.

Your servant,

LAD

HpS - Ooof!   We were very worried about you. Hadn't heard for several days. Called and no answer.   We avoid the cookies (unless cooked by devotees), but at times we have also drowned out sorrow in ice cream (Prasadam).
We have been trying. Three times we were so disturbed by ISKCON politics, administracion that we were ready to leave the management structure (starve to death and go to Srila Prabhupada), but each time we saw that the GBC et al adjusted their programs. For example, Guru tattva after Prabhupada left.

Pretty early, we remember, we were walking up a hill in San Francisco on the way to work. We were living in the Temple and working at a bank corporation 4-12-midnight. We were thinking about hell in the Ashram, devotee conflicts, trying to serve, and at that point we made this committment, we weren't intiated then, that no matter who fell away, even if everyone was crazy, we would not give up trying to help Srila Prabhupada in his mission.

Have you had a similar realization? I guess so. Then, its a matter of seeing how much ice cream you actually need. Kardama needed a wife (very nice wife!). Arjuna needed a manly shoulder to cry on and some good counseling (already had a wife).

Have you read all Six Cantos with our ASA CSGs?  If yes, then you, seems also La Brujita Blanca del Sur (Kumari Yugala kishora Dasi) can join this review, but... can you join us Saturday Night Live?

We need a translator. Actually the PPTX shows could be available each morning and then adjusted by 6PM.   Hmmm.
We asked ART to get Ekanatha-gaura Das to call us about the administration.
1. Who are you?

2. Find your friends in ISKCON.

3. Make some plans.

4. Acquire your tools (typewriters (attack camels (freeze dried ice-cream))).

Please write as often as you can. Make news (and die).
