Letters to the editor

Respected Guru Maharaj,

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

I went to twitter and listened the lecture on start meeting with Nitai Gaur prabhu, it was so nice.  I was going to ask you that you should also put this link in your Monkeywarrior home page and it is already there, Jaya. Guruji! kindly do this every time, that you also put the link on this website, since someone may not have the twitter acct and thus, they would be bereft of the opportunity to listen.

Guruji! have your chalked out your indian program, any rough sketch? In one of your news letter you mentioned that you would be going to Manipur, would you also be going to your usual places of pilgrimage like Naimisharanya and Lucknow etc. and Vrindavan/Mayapur or would you like to go to Punjab?

Here in Brisbane, everything is OK, my job is always up and down, but my chanting 16 rounds good quality, now-a-days I m reading Bhagvad Gita As It Is and sometimes, I go online and see the commentaries of different Acharayas on the same verse, it is really interesting.

Priya and children are excited to join you next year during your Indian journey, hope Krishna provides enough by that time.

Thanks and HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - ASA -- AGTSP...  paoho...  We hope you are making nice progress in all of the basic principles of Sadhana, no?       For example, if someone is attached to sports activities, like gambling, then he is lacking part of the foundation to his Bhakti-lata and it will grow, but slowly and even with distortion, so we all have to understand these priority items of Sadhana Bhakti: Sixteen enthusiastic rounds minimum, four-principles strictly, a full Brahma-muhurta, morning program . . .   Sankirtan!

Then from Vaidhi-bhakti we can progress to Raga-anuga Bhakti very naturally (BG 4.10 Purport!).

First is am I?      Guess we are a mostly a writer at this point in life.   Who is the Raktaka Das?

Second is who are we?      For India we have Dr. Samaresh, Rama-giri-dhari Das, Yamuna in Manipur, Indian disciples and friends (Eg. Vasu Gosh), other Yatris like yourself and the Gopinatha Pujari. . . .

Third we make some plan where to go when....

Who are you?!

Hk guruji

Hare Krsna dear Gurumaharaja

Please, accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Please, apologizes for forgetting to send this report, I have been busy with organizational issues and forgot to send it on Monday. This are almost done, the magazine is running very well, we're in the final rush.

It's very hard not to worry about the result of this effort, in the end, I still believe that the consequences are due to our effort.

Maybe, detachment from results is one of the hardest matters to achieve. The magazine will have the next articles, beside photographs and other stuff... + A foreword written by me (not very important, just welcoming words) + A NIMSAR presentation (who we are, what we do) + The ISKCON educational commission presentation, by Jiva Sakti prabhu (he's in charge) + Importance of education as a factor of cohesion and development, by Jiva Sakti prabhu. + An excerpt from Ravindra Svarupa dasa's book The position of Srila Prabhupada + The guru-disciple course, by Param Padam prabhu + The Chile Congress conclusions, by Jagad Guru prabhu + What Socrates teaches us about preaching in the time of Internet and social media, by Mahavidya dasi + (Maybe) The educational experience in ISKCON Colombia + And the articles you can send us from tehe recent US Congress, we have already received Yadunandana's Swami slide show and LAD is working on it. Any suggestions Gurudeva? See you very soon! Your servant Gandharva dasa

HpS - ASA -  Guess you see our condition from the DTCs.    We talk with LAD daily now.  We will send Kartamasams article to you!   Thank you!!!!  Arrive in Peru in 175 hours.

          HARE KRSNA GURUDEVA,

          PAMHO,AGTSP!!

          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR E-MAILS.

          THIS IS CLAUDIO NARANJO´S E-MAIL, I SENT HIM YOU CV AND REQUEST

          AN INTERVIEW A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HE DID AGREE,

           HIS SECRETARY RECENTLY GAVE ME HIS PERSONAL E-MAIL ([email protected])

           AND ASKED ME  TO REFRESH HIS MIND AS HE VERY BUSY,

           SO WHOEVER WRITTES HIM HE CAN FOLLOW UP THE STORY...

           WISHING TO SERVE YOU

HpS - AGTSP.  You are so persistent in looking for service to Krsna, that I think it is guaranteed. He will give you all more and more exciting missions.  We have CN's address on our Desktop. We hope to see it while we are in Peru. We are in Mexico. We can ask people here if they know him also.

07/24/15    Hare Krsna Esteemed Guru Maharaja    please accept my dandavats and pranams.

Haven't written since your helpful and wonderful visit in June.  Thank you so very much for staying in our new home and blessing us with your presence, your example.   i do not write more often because i do not want to take your valuable time.   Please know i am always praying for you and taking the dust of your lotus feet within my heart.

The ISKON Sac devotees expressed how much they benefitted from your visit.  They thought you so very humble and approachable, with the ability to illuminate sastra in a clear and unique manner.  They have asked me to ask you to put us on your calendar twice next year.   So please visit us next year twice and advise me how I may help with scheduling in advance.

We were (Dave too) out on book distribution at lg. apt. complex in Sac a couple of weeks ago.   By Krsna's mercy, we were invited to return and do home program for a group of residents!  It is this Sun.  How wonderful it is to preach this sublime and helpful philosophy of Krsna Consciousness.  Also, our group attended International Yoga Day in June by the state capital bldg.  Fortunately, I got to lead kirtan though I am always unworthy.  Also, me and Vikasananda Krsna Das were interviewed by Indian Television news so it was really so much mercy to be able to serve Srila Praphupada and this Sankirtan Movement and let the Indian population know more about our ctr!  Our group will also be at India Day and we are hoping to have an even better Janmastami celebration this year.  So lots of opportunities for service right now.  Jaya!!!

My dear Radha-Gopinatha are now in Their puja room.  I don't think our home is ready for Them to be in the front of the house;there was not a consensus about it.  Perhaps it's what they wanted.  I hope so.

Shoes ?:   So, recently Govinda Priya Dasi, who teaches deity worship in Mayapur each year, showed me how to put Their Lordships to rest at night.  Their bed is on the right side of Their altar on a table along with a brass vyasasan.  The vyasasan is too small for the murti of Prabhupada.  So i am using it to put his shoes on at night.  Then I take your shoes and put them on the table at the foot of Prabhupada's "bed"   and pray for your safety that night.  Anyway, may I continue to put your shoes like that?  Some how it occured to me to ask you if that's ok with you.

Continuing as your unworthy servant,

Kalindi Devi dasi

HpS - ASA -  Gosh!  AGTSP.  Paoho.   Yes, this pace of letters we can handle. We have noted all your content with great attention. Krsna is giving you so, so, so much chance to preach!!  Our respects to The David Prestha (which rhymes with Pasta) and all the Sacramento ISKCON Yatra. Of course we will try to visit again. We form the Calendar here.

I guess you can put our shoes some place. Off the floor I don't know. For sure lower, lower, lower thatn Srila Prabhupada's paraphernalia. We still have material desires but they are under control (now) and diminishing!

O.K. DTC>
