Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudev agtSP

Dandavat Pranam.

Regarding your artistic project of filming, theater, etc., and developing sankirtan in the cities you plan to travel to (India, Chile, Peru, Mexico, etc.),

I have a proposal about the life of the Goswamis reflected in the modern era. It would be something like this (a sannyasi in modern times). Yadunandana Swami talks about it in his book...how to apply ancient teachings in the modern era...

It would have a positive impact on understanding simple life, elevated thinking, developing consciousness before vanity, controlling the mind before controlling people,

etc.

A script could be developed. We'd base it on the life of Jiva Goswami, for example, as an exemplary siksa guru of great Vaishnavas. In parallel, we'd observe the life of an ordinary but wonderful man who educates his students in the purpose of life. This will never cease to be important, no matter the time or place. Only the actors in this great work of life change.

We could travel with you, assist you, perform, and help you close another circle in your life as an educator.

If I'm interested and helpful, let's keep in touch and develop this project together.

Your servant

HpS/ASA - At 77-years of age. AgtSP. We have turned a now blank page. We do not much lead work, but rather comment as Bhaktas such as you, ask for ideas about your sunny view.

To me is seems like a big project.

Again we would just join it as an consultant, assistant, if we could.

Now we are tied up with our camp in Houston and then the travel itinerary for December 17 to March 17 has us fixed with any of those event.

I guess we will have our S23 Ultra with us, so we could try to record things that Yadu Swami does along the way, or otherwise as directed???

all the members of the tour could write or do things that could be published. give us some work to do?

Hare krsna, Gurudeva por favor acepte mis reverencias .

todas las glorias Srila Prabhupada

continuamos en New Vrindavan a sido un año bastante intenso pero ahora estamos planeando visitarlo en su Vyasapuja si le parece bien ? Su eterno sirviente Rohini kumar das

HpS//AgtSP.

We are almost dead in body and brain, but can still work at the root of things in our heart.

body and brain will grow back.

heart will reveal immortal soul if we dig up the dirt there.

don't know what will happen in nashville.

hope it will be very nice five days.

maybe tandavika das can help with the accomodations.

We just posted an announcement on our Nashville Whatsapp group, and will see if there is any response. we would like to see you. we have two rooms available and electricity and water.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias.

Ahora en la ciudad de Tarapoto y las lluvias ya comienzan por aquí y el ambiente se vuelve un poco más fresco.

En la carta anterior me dijo lo siguiente:

HpS/ASA - Gracias.

Colocar avisos ofreciendo servicios en restaurantes vegetarianos, etc. sobre servicios de Jyotish y Samudrika.

Comience las clases enseñando los dos, pero desde la perspectiva de KC.

Comencé a hacer algunos avisos por internet a comienzos de este año 2025, y por ahí me salieron algunas consultas astrológicas. Al analizar sus cartas astrales y hacerles quiromancia les distribuía los libros de Srila Prabhupada, especialmente el Bhagavad-Gita.

El resultado fue que dos señoras van al templo de la madre Laksmirani en Huancayo, una de ellas va siempre y la otra por motivos de trabajo va a veces. Los programas son todos los sábados en Huancayo.

Comience las clases enseñando los dos, pero desde la perspectiva de KC.

La idea es buena, pero quizá por internet, pienso que hacer videos y subirlos al internet es muy bueno, claro toma tiempo y paciencia en obtener el resultado.

La idea es hacer videos cortos, ya que en la actualidad son muy pocas las personas que ven videos largos. Quizá clases cortas, de unos minutos. También podría ser algunos videos largos.

Acá le envió algunos videos cortos que hice para el canal que tengo en YotuTube:

HpS - Estamos oyendo a la primera. Es bueno. Para nosotros la gente occidental, actual, puede apreciar

la palabra "destino", no? El concepto. Eso es Karma, no?

Bueno, todo está en un proceso de desarrollo, quizá tenga mucho errores por corregir, pero, las ideas y sus aportes nos ayudan muchísimo a mejorar.

Bueno Guru Maharaja, me despido, y nuevamente muchas gracias por sus buenas ideas y consejos, que el Señor Nrsimha lo proteja siempre. Hare Krsna.

Gadai Gauranga Das.

HpS - ASA -- Gracias as Vd! Krsna.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!!!

AgtSP

PAMHO

Forgive me for the long time with no news,

HpS - AgtSP!! I think that is something we both have to apologize for, no? Of course, to some degree we just have other priorities that we need to do.

... after stopping my relationship with that young lady I was a bit lost, I stopped chanting all of my rounds and I didn't got any plans after that, was very hard for me because I think I was very attached to her but always Krsna does the right thing.

HpS - I think it was right thing, not to think about going into Grhastha ashrama with her as your partner. As we have heard and seen, for the wife to be older than the husband is very, very, big challenge. Srila Prabhupada's comment is that it is lot of work for wife to have natural respect and deference for husband who is younger than her. Maybe requires God Himself to intervene.

Yet, it does not mean that you cannot look at someone like her as a big sister.

So after that experience I moved out to a temple in Germany called Goloka Dhama, they were amazing and the deities took my heart, I was there from the 27th of August till the 29th of September.

HpS - Long time!

Now I'm living in New Mayapur in France and probably I will go back to Germany for a few weeks to get some money and be able to travel to see you in Spain.

Anyways Krsna is always has a plan and now that I'm here I something really nice just happened, I meet a not so old mataji (maybe 40 years old) that wants to open a Gurukula in New Mayapur, for some reason I was speaking to her and I told her that I'm the oldest from 8 siblings and that I can speak 4 lenguages (Spanish, Portuguese, English and German with intentions to learn at least 3 more) and she invite me to form part of the teacher group in the Gurukula, of first she told me to ask for your blessing and also start so do some online studies so I be a teacher with certifications.

Also since a few time I was thinking to be a teacher but the "modern" way of giving classes is totally unattractive for me so I think is a good chance to be a teacher in a safe devotee enviroment.

That Gurukula if Krsna allows it will start in September of the next year.

Also how are you?

HpS - As you describe it, the situation seems nice. What age students would you be teaching? I think it might be good for you and the school to make a commitment for a specific time, eg. one year. two years.

To start even for a few months.

Then do it even if there is some difficulty, and everyone reevaluate after the time is finished.

Not to join with an open ended commitment.

I always ask for you health but also how do you feel?

HpS - Our health is very good for a 77-year old American Donkey. AgtSP!

I'm now chanting all of my rounds going to morning program every day and doing Cow seva in the Goshala, also I'm taking care of the seva of 2 kids, they kind of remember me to some of my siblings.

HpS - Big Brother! 👹

Please accept my most humble obeisanses.

Hope that health is good at this time.

Haribol :D

ASA - =[;0]/\___ Send some news about the Yatra next month.

Hare Krishna Mahārāja

please accept my most humble obeisances to your feet’s 🦶

HpS - AgtSP!!! paoho.

i Have distributed so far this year 2 boxes of Karma plus one big of Perfection of Yoga which I am about to run out of books; here in the tattoo shop in Barcelona. I am already looking forward for my next order.

honestly I can’t express my gratitude for the encouragement that I get back from you 😭 it just makes me think about the ridiculousness of my actions please be merciful onto me.

thank you very much Mahārāja 🙏🏾

hare Krishna your distant servant Bhakta Jorge

HpS - How is the Temple community in Barcelona??? We have the most potent energy to share with our neighbors.

You can make the people of Barcelona wake up to their very ancient culture.

Krsna is mad to expand His play with the boys and cows, Vrndavana town...

Hare krishna dear Gurudev

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope this meets you in good health and sankirtan bliss

I am very grateful to be in touch with you and have your association though Goto, WhatsApp, Blog. I would like to share with you that this august month was very intense with so many festivals in local iskcon temple of Asunción Paraguay. around 50 attendees in Janmashtami and 30 attendees in Radhastami, kirtan and lecture was performed and Prasada distribution for all guest.

I do some seva for that purpose in pujari, kirtan, kitchen, cleaning and so on. It was really enlightening to participate in the festival this year. Especially to see local matajis seva for pujari, they are doing themselves the clothing, crowns, jewelry for Goura Nitay, Prahlad Nrisimha and Srila Prabhupada. I will share some photos but all of this I never seen it before because devotees usually buy that stuff from India, now devotes are doing it and that’s why I get surprise this time. After all the festivals we also have the great visitor of the local Indian Ambassador Dr. Piyush Singh, now he is very eager to collaborate with local iskcon. I hope I can share more insights and reports in next letters.

pd. next time we will definitely try to offert plum chutney on Radhastami, thanks for the advice.

kind regards

thank you

your servant

Vijaya Govinda das

HpS - Thank you so, so, much! These festivals are essential part of our Bhakti yoga, no? Srila Prabhupada introduced them from the very beginning.

Daily festival of Mangala arati and then Sandhya, Gaura arati.

Sunday Festival!

We have a collection of Power Point Shows that we are gradually developing for each festival day.

We can worship the Deities, chant more Kirtan, Bhajan, chant and memorize important verses and songs...

... everyone has something to offer, especially Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON's initiated disciples!
