Letters to the editor

Dear Swamiji, AGTSP, PAMHO.

My visit to Manila in March has left me with a taste for preaching and now Krishna is fulfilling that desire. The Sunday feast crowd will be divide into 2 groups. I will give class to the younger and newer devotees. I am thinking of starting with Sri Isopanisàd, then move on to NOI and Light of the Bhagavata? I want to bring them to rhe point where they can take the ISKCON Disciple Course.

Because soon the IDC will be a requirement for initiation. Whether or not I go to open new temples I want to become more involved in training and education of devotees.

HpS - Jaya!!!!!  AGTSP.   Prabhupada Lilamrta is available also? That is very nice book also for new people. Lilamrt and NOI the same time maybe. Isopanisad is very technical. I think Prabhupada only did it so that we would have SOMETHING that is Sruti, directly from the Vedas, for big, big, proud scholars.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

PAMHO

HpS - AGTSP!     Interesting, but this is June 2015. He just got the award? Why so long to give the awards?  Who gave the award?  We will all send a letter of congratulations as soon as you tell us the details!

Hare Krisna Maharaja:

PAMHfO AGTSP

Brieflly writing you from Madrid:

Sri Sri Gaura Nitay Madrid look very Happy, Nice pujari team (Isvara Das, Rasala Das, Mantri Ram Das, my self...)

Good team of devottees making garlands (Mani Mope anjari DD, Matura Mani DD, Antaranga DD and all her Russian Bhaktins)

Tulasi Looks very Happy (Bhaktin Marta is taking care of her and all the plants in the temple)

Book distribution is developing very nicely (I personally go out everyday, 40 sciences of self realitation/day) and now two devotees from mexico and one from brasil are staying with us. They are sankirtan devotees collecting for monterrey-Mexico project. So there is some sankirtan spirit developing.

Shatyabama DD from Mexico would like to study her next semester in Madrid and live in the temple and do Sankirtan do you think it is all right ?

ASA - AGTSP.   Sooooooo nice to hear from you!!!!      I can't give any details from her, but seems like it could be O.K.

Temple is full, no beds abaileable, good Sadana in general terms and nice lunch program.

Congregational preaching is developing with the efforts of Dandava, Carcika , Jayanta et all.

I personally will try to keep on sankirtan-Book distribution till december combined with my duties as temple comander.

Marta is taking care of me very nicelly, we have discover a little penthouse in the temple building and we are triying to contact the owners to talk about the posibility of renting-buying the place for our selfs.

Thank you for all your mercy

HpS - Jaya!   You all should make a Temple CD with selected songs and comments. Should become famous in Madrid for your your Music.
Up early and good rounds!!!     You are our example in many ways.
 

Dear swamij, PHO, AGTSP. I am sure that I would be with other devotees. So far Ramai maharaj has only said that it would be with ISKCON's financial backing.

ASA - "Backing" and "Banking".   Sounds good. Formally the suggestion would be to only take leadership responsibility for a Sankirtan program after Second Initiation, but there can be other considerations. Chant 16, follow 4, up by 4am, do not snore, and your sankirtan efforts will certainly soar!!

Send us news o Condor!

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
HpS - ASA - Locust feet!

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, Thank you so much for comments and queries for me on
    http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/5385
    Answering the queries below.

    Gurudev, Thank you so much for sending recommendation letter to Temple President for
    their approval, am absolutely ready for Second initiation and then 3rd initiation in this
    life only, I never have had plan for Grhastha Ashrama. i wanted to talk about Ashrama
    during your recent Delhi visit but the schedule was very busy.

    I want to join temple but don't know how and where? may be in Vrndavana or may be at
    Radha-Kunda by doing sadhna, don't know, how it is going to happen, not clear to me.
    want to give this life for Krsna's servant of servant of servant and read & preach
    SB and BG for the remaining life.

    I am very much attached to SB and BG, so always things are going on my mind, how may i
    preach glories of Lord with limited time and limited Knowledge!!?

ASA - Srila Prabhupada's Gita is much more than just BG, no?   He includes so many other things.

    Younger brother was studying and just finished his graduation and looking for a job. Once
    he engaged in a job, he would be able to take care of parents and it would be easy for me
    to take action for full time for ISKCON, very soon.

ASA - Look for Sankirtan Leaders, Partners. Does not have to be an eternal relationship, but practical partnership in Sankirtan. We worked with B. S. Damodara Swami as our Chief in the B. I. for many years, but it was not proper place for us for several reasons. So we left that Sankirtana party, but still worked with him as our Chief in Ranga-niketana group.

    Regarding SB,

    My Stew Dents are one entire family, cultivating them for last 7 Years but started SB
    for them after a long 7 year waiting. The entire family is chanting, following the
    4-principles. They are from business society, 7 years ago it was difficult to take their
    time and they were not ready to give their time. So what i did, i started with basics
    ( what i had learnt from ISKCON ( have 5 certificates from ISKCON Pune)) by standing out
    side their shop.and it was very difficult for me to concentrate because it was a on going
    shop and customers are their always. But i never loose my patence. This way i cultivated
    the Head of the family. Then finally the day come, when the Head of the family fully
    convince and then he agreed to give 3 hours on Saturday and 4 hours Sunday. But it took 7
    years to bring them at his stage.

ASA = Prabhupada also had to spend long time in preparation!

    Smilerly, wherever i go and get chance to explore Prabhupada's said, i try my best. Even
    they are from any society, cred, caste, any shop, road, office, market, public transport.

    But i can assure you, will take care the points, you asked me to take care for SB.

    Thank you so much.
    

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - A G T SP.     We put some news in the DTC for you and others!!!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Guru y Gauranga y a su sankirtana eterno!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Hare Krsna querido gurudeva porfavor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias y esperando que ésta carta lo encuentre muy bien de salud.

Gurudev éste es mi informe; Mangala artik 4:30am, 25 rondas (algunas veces he fallado, pero las 16 rondas las termino antes de govinda), 4 principios estrictos, lectura del SB C1C3, BG C17 Y Venu gita C8, estoy tratando de tener una rutina de lectura todos los dias y kirtana todos los dias con los mrdangueros prabhus; gadai y gaura.

Le cuento que estamos en el templo de Cusco, aquí llevamos 2 meses como encargados del puyari de sus señorias JBS Y GN. Todos los días hacemos el programa completo de la mañana; las levantamos, hacemos mangala artik 4:30 am, clase de SB 6:30am, cambiamos a las deidades, hacemos govinda 7:00am y prabhupada (los programas son mas temprano de lo normal porque en el dia funciona como restaurante) y en la mañana hacemos sankirtana persona a persona con mi gran compañero de sankirtana P. gadai Gauranga d., debo reconocer gurudev que mi naturaleza siempre fué de ayudar y lamentarse de las aflicciones materiales del prójimo y éste servicio me cae de pelo <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />!!! Srila prabhupada ki yai!!!, llevamos distribuyendo  al dia con gadai como 60 libros. algo en bondad porque lamentablemnte este cuerpo de mujer se cansa y enferma aveces <img alt="crying" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/cry_smile.png" title="crying" width="23" />. quisiera dar más de mi y me siento egoísta cuando no salgo a sankirtana algunos dias.

Gurudeva estamos a cargo también del departamento de sankirtana del templo de cusco, tenemos en almacen como 2420 libros (todos los titulos) y previa coordinacion con las autoridades del templo se subió sólo el 0.05 y 0.10 a los libros pequeños, con la finalidad de que podamos impulsar a los devotos a comprar libros y distribuirlo. Aquí a las deidades no les falta absolutamente nada, p. gaura se preocupa por darles lo mejor a las deidades.

también ya estan construyendo la carroza de sus señorias JBS, PARA EL RATHA YATRA  en octubre o noviembre todavia no hay fecha exacta. P. Anuraksa con m. narayani están por aquí construyendo la carroza del señor.

Lo del snak vegetariano no funcionó, jejeje, recuerdo que ud. siempre nos dijo restaurante no!!!<img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> así que es un arreglo de krsna para poder dedicarnos más a la distribución de libros.

Gurumaharaj en setiembre queremos viajar a bolivia para la marathon que organiza p. mathuresh y de ahi entrar a brasil haciendo sankirtana para poder ir a india en febrero y verlo a Ud!!! GRACIAS POR SUS INSTRUCCIONES Y ENSEÑANZAS, UD. Y SRILA PRABHUPADA SON MI PADRE AHORA Y NO ENCUENTRO OTRA FELICIDAD, APESAR QUE BUSQUÉ Y BUSQUÉ TANTAS VECES, GRACIAS POR TANTO AMOR YO LO EXTRAÑO MUCHO PERO SIEMRPE RECUERDO SU ROSTRO EN MI CORAZON.

Gurudeva me regalaron una deidad de  gopal y a gadai unas deidades de 20 cm. de JBS, nose porque krsna me envia tantas deidades, dejamos en chosica a KB, GN, JBS, UN GOVINDA, NRSHINJADEVA, Y LAS EXTRAÑO MUCHO. y bueno nuestras silas estan con nosotros, todos los dias las bañamos con agua tibia y miel y las untamos de guee y decoramos con joyas y comen muchos dulces.

ahi le envio fotos de la carroza, las deidades del templo, nuestras silas, los devotos, mi gopal y deidades de JBS que nos regalaron ya pronto las pintará gadai. me despido hare krsna gurudeva!!!
