Letters to the editor

AGTSP

paoho.   Here we are in the Restaurant of the Barcelona, ISKCON, Temple at 6.56AM. Brother Ass is little distressed in and lungs and eyes, but pretty good for a 67-year old ass.
The Book Release and Symposium on Education is mostly finished. We just totaled the expenses as best we could and it was $4,500. Details soon.
Now we are arranging to pay for the printing and shipping.

Madrid visit, for six days, was intense and productive. We found the last available copy of "Journey to the West" in excellent, scholarly, translation in Spanish by Editorial Siruela and are now carrying it to Migule Polo in Peru. We have 15-Bharata-samskrtis with us, and went on Hari-nama Sankirtan for two hours.

Of course, MANY meetings with friends and Disciples and classes on NOI etc.

Now, after super-fast train from Madrid to Barcelona. Suffered alot because was tired and could not lie down.
O.K.   Time for class.   Kapi Dhvaja has to go.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.      Are Srila Prabhupada's books going out?   Are the SB classes and Japa going on???

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Somehow I didn't send this letter for long long time as I started to write it in December.

> Srinivasa Das was looking at a Muslim site and they were talking about the confused Hindus and the were citing vedabase.com again and again as their source of True Hindu beliefs!

Super! In fact that is one of the goal of the project to become accepted by scholars as good resource for research and references.

There are already few universities which uses vedabase.com as recourse for their teachings.

> What about the Index and User Bookmarks etc?

Main engine is ready now. We started to synchronize languages by paragraph. As soon all books which are in current version will be done we will switch to new system. And quickly after that categorization will be there.

There is also initiative to import Indian languages. Currently Tamil, Hindi, Bengali and Malayalam are in progress.
Yesterday (6th May) we got licence for TamilOCR software we just bought, so devotees will be able to scan and convert whole Srimad Bhagavatam in Tamil language.

> Especially necessary is an Introduction page: 
> 1) How to use the Vedabase technically, and 2) How to use understand the priority and how to read the books.

Yes! Frontpage is going to be refactored with good structure, short info about site with link to documentation 1) and 2), block with latest news (added book, new feature, other news...). All this will be in upcoming version. I am quite busy with service for TOVP (Temple of Vedic Planetarium), but I think it is doable to launch new version for celebration of 50 years of Srila Prabhupada's leave to US.

Part of 1) should also include short videos which will show how to use different features.

I have read this on jayarama.us (some time ago): "VEDABASE.COM: We want to help with an Introduction that will organize the Visitor’s reading."

Would you like to write it? If you will have time and energy we could speak about it in Delhi.

> Definitely should be big part of the ministry of education, no???  Your ideas now???

Yes. Everybody is welcome to use it. As far as I know website is much used for online education of part of Mayapur Institute, Bhaktivedanta College, ... Also if there are special requirements for education institutes/groups I may be able to help by adding new features or optimizing current ones.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha Das

HpS - AGTSP Thank you for this Christmas letter!   We can show you one idea for an "Introduction to Vedabase.com". Now we are in Spain and then Radhadesa, then 4-weeks in Nashville, so we should be able to send ideas then.

Hare Krishna Gurudev!  ^-^ AGTSP PAMO

Chanting  a bit more and being more happy.Reading teachings of lord caitanya.

Having some realizations:

After 5 days of  movie-like rain, sun rose ( in my heart too) but not fully/enough yet, need to construir moreKC samskaras ... I Feel my faith is developing more and more ,thank Govinda, and this mantra is so Powerful that I can't handle it, but it rocks everytime.
While was doing a night japa walk ysterdy Realized how I want to be the enjoyer most of the time, but at the end I'm spiritually the enjoyed and can't change it, that was like a trigger clicking in my mind...

Feeling pleased with KRishna and his devotees, we have a good connection and a nice ashrama here at sydney, these young guys are so fired up and inspiring also.
living w the world 2nd book distributor. 
Krishna showing opportunitties to preach.
 

Waking up a bit earlier these days, so they are a bit more successful+peaceful. Heard that authorities will check everyone;s sadhana(those who are not orange) which is good though.

Getting ready 4 my piano auditions next friday to see if they accept me as a music student so i can start studying :)

Wondering about initiation, few people asked me whether I'm or not initiated which leads one to desire/think/imagine how that feels, i guess it must be very wonderful.

My friend the world 2nd book distributor getting initiated on th 3rd next month, I'm so happy 4 him such a mahatma !

I pray to Prabhupada for always remembering Krishna never forget him, in the same way I beg 4 your blessings Maharaja to always remember + glorify you and Krishna with love and with more tongues + ears if possible, so I can remain always absorbed and ecstatic . 
Sorry for my Spiritual mistakes and my Informality.

Hare Krishna

pamho AGtSP

ahora andamos en el norte de chile en las universidades de Viña del mar

me paso algo, un nectar.  GM Sankirtan hace q reamente crea en este proceso, cosas magicas pasan a cada seguno es como si lo que leo en el SB se materializa en las calles,

estaba caminando dejandome llevar como titere en sus manos, GM,

HpS - Pienso yo tambien estoy un titere en los manos de Srila Prabhupada y pienso Vds es mejor titere que mi!

y en una voltie por una calle y no habia nadaaa, sin envargo sentia en mi corazon q debia seguir caminando, ya estaba llegando al final y no pasaba nada asi q me pensaba devolver, pero justo cuando di la vuelta..... una joven me pregunto de que son los libros, justo lo q buscabas!!!! le dije y seguido a eso una sonriza de fierro!!!!<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" />.

ella se empezo a reir y luego cuando vio los libros se puso muy serio y se agarro la boca con la mano, no lo puedo creer!!! me dijo, que paso le pregunte!

acabo de venir de la libreria y estaba buscando estos libros pero solo encontre basuraaaaa, pero tu me has dicho q era lo q buscaba y me los entregaste!! me viste en la libreria? me pregunto, tenia la piel como de gallina y a mi se me puso igual, yo le dije q no la habia visto pero hay una energia suprema q todo lo ve ( para mi es Ud GM!) ella se llevo todos los libros y me dio mas de lo normal!!! luego fui a la libreria y les ofreci los libros, y me compraron algunos mas!!

sankirtan es el Sumun bonus de la educacion Vaisnava GM!! o no?

HpS - "... vidya vadu jivanam .... param vijayate sri krsna sankirtanam..."

. . . en su carta anterior me pregunto q va a pasar con mi futuro, mi respuesta es LO Q UD QUIERA GM!!! por ahora espero seguir en la calle despues de aqui vamos a panama a colectar para el SR Jagannath (nos invitaron al festival) y uego quiero ir a Huston al simposio de educacion  que hace mi heroe Hanumatpresaka Swami, quiza luego a la india o la tumba no lo se!

HpS - Nuestra GRAN amigo. Hari-lila Das (68 anos), Indu, y su familia y unos otros van al Rathayatra de Panama. Es Houston.  Lalita-gopi y Saranagati de Mexico va a el Simposium de education en Houston. Manana comprara boleto como 3-10 Agosto en Mexico.

Sankirtan!

GM es q hace algunos dias soñe con Ud! y ud estaba con muchas personas y de repente pidio q a todos que salieran y me dijo: TIENE UNA PREGUNTA  POR HACERME?, como siempre siempre que estoy junto a ud me paralice y no le pregunte nada asi q ud sonrio y me dijo sigue sonrriendo, y salio de la habitacion............ pero en relidad si le queria hacer una pregunta pero me parecio muy loca para hacersela personalmente en el sueño, pero se la quiero hacer igual, mi pregunta era como puedo asociarme con vaisnavas como Narada Muni o el Sr Siva en esta vida (Narada Muni es un nectar como mi heroe!) (se que uds tienen contacto con ellos pero es solo para devotos puros?) Jayapataka Swami el año pasado en un parikema dijo q en un arbol esta el Sr Siva y pregunto: quien puede verlo hay esta? ..................<img alt="surprise" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png" title="surprise" width="23" /><img alt="surprise" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png" title="surprise" width="23" /><img alt="surprise" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.png" title="surprise" width="23" />

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji's padmacharan that I could not understand the 

" One man is in Manipur and that is all he sees. Another man is in Manipur and he sees it in terms of very practical relationship with India, Earth, Brahmanda!"

Please instruct us the minimum requirements of a beisnava and daily duties for all of us. We the initiated bhaktas a group is doing weekly programe of Satsanga-namasankirtana, Krsna Katha and day to day discussion of a particular topics. All our programe are started after Guru Bandana. Please aasirbad us from the  distance so as to enable us to continue regularly and more better performance and to increase our spiritual knowledge.

Yours fallen servant

<img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif" />HpS - ASA - Jaya!   AGTSP paoho.      We were so busy in Houston Temple for one week. They are starting a Pre-school and Primary school. We helped with that. We gave four Bhakti-vaibhava classes (Canto One - Six Diploma) and several Temple and outside preaching programs. We have changed our ticket. Now we arrive in India on Monday, 4th May, Delhi.

Look at posting here in the Blog for India Calendar.

Priorities are:

1. Chant Hare Krsna as much as you can. At least 16 enthusiastic rounds on beads.

2. Follow four principles strictly.

3. Brahma-muhurta, Mangala-arati, Kirtan, Srimad Bhagavatam

4. Evening Arati, Kirtan, Reading (with others).

5. Help Lord Caitanya in His Sankirtan movement by preaching, distribution of books, giving donations, cleaning temple, dressing deity, distribution of prasadam .....

Hare Krsna!
Who else is there with you in Thoubal?

Thank you.

We won't be able to answer letters from 3rd-27th of May. We will put the details in the Kapi Dhavja.

Hare Krisna, querido Gurudeva.

Por gavor, acepte mis humildes reverencias, dandavats. TLGSP.

Espero que se encuentre bien en todos los aspectos.

Por Misericordia de Krishna

estamos bien: (Carcika, Four [nuestro bakta perro] y un servidor). Krisna nos sostiene

con su servicio.

Seguimos con el servicio en el

Templo de Madrid (gran equipo

de devotos), con el servicio en

el Instituo de Estudios Bhakti-

vedanta, sirviendo a Srila

Prabhupada a través de SS

Yadunandana Maharaja.

Seguimos con grupo

Bhakti Vriksa y

haciendo

prédica

en

diferentes

lugares de

España como

Ciudad Real y

Tarragona, también explicamos

Bhakti Yoga y

Bhagavad Gita en

casa y a otras personas por Skype.

Ahora estamos ayudando a SS Yadunandana Swami en el proyecto de llevar Conciencia de Krisna a las 52 provincias de España.

HpS - Wow!!!

Seguimos luchando para aprender quienes somos, para cantar rondas entusiastas y guardar los principios. Pero cada vez nos sentimos peores aspirantes a devotos.

El día 13 irémos a recogerle en coche al aeropuerto a las 13:25 (Air Europa 1172). Estamos en contacto con Bhadra y Sananda, esperando noticias del posible programa en la universidad. ¿Se ha suspendido lo de Italia finalmente?

HpS - ASA --- No, Rama-giridhari Das dijo que quiere continuar con la programa aun no hay mucha gente. Ya plan es ir a Italia.

Esperamos su respuesta sobre posible iniciación de Bhaktin Mercedes en Mayo. En estos días le envío carta de recomendación. He hablado con Yadunandana Swami sobre posible iniciación de Bhakta Bernard, pero él no está bajo la autorida de Madrid, sino de Nueva Vrajamandala. Una devota rusa, Bhaktin Anna va a tomar iniciación de Chaitanya Chandra Charan Das Prabhu, pero será rikvit a través de Yadunandana Swami. Podemos aprovechar el mismo yajña para todo.

HpS - ASA  -  Necesitamos cartas de recomendacion aqui para Mercedes. Aparece ella est bien listo. Bernard tambien, pero, claro, carta de Nueva Brajamanadala.

El día 16 de Mayo, Carcika y yo viajamos a Estados Unidos, iremos a Nueva York. Un viaje reservado antes de que supiéramos que usted venía. Queremos conocer los templos de allí y el 26th de la 2nd avenida. Llevaremos a mi madre y a mi hermana con nosotros. Regresamos a España el día 24 de Mayo. Sólo podremos verle del 13 al 15.

Por último, gracias a la Misericordia de Krisna y de sus devotos, hemos restablecido la relación con Jayanta Prabhu. Ha sido un gran aprendizaje este año y un alivio poder tener su asociación. El es un gran devoto y muy respetado por mi. Yo he sido un gran necio. Esa ha sido la mayor alegría que he recibido en este año 2015.

Muchas gracias por todo.

Vaisnava dasa anudasa.

Dandava Das.

HpS - Jaya! Hare Krsna.    En media de todo no olvidarse tomar tiempo para no hacer nada. Relajarse!
