Letters to the editor

Please, accept my humble obeisances, dandavats. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Sorry for not write you in all this time!! I hope that you are fine!! How was your trip¿? And your health?

Here in Madrid all is OK, my principal service now is the pujari (Jiva the cooker is teaching me how to dress), cooking and wash the pots of the breakfast.

Some months ago, we were doing bhajans in one of the most importants streets of Madrid (Fuencarral), the experience was amazing but the police don’t allow to do more bhajans in this place maybe in some months we can start again with the program. Dandava wants to develop some programs of this type, for example, now we are starting to go to some yoga centers to chant the holy names.

I continue with Bhakti Sastri and i want to start to be more profesional with the kitchen and create some courses of cooking in the temple.

One of the most important things that i discorvered some weeks ago is that if you aprreciate and love the  people your preach will be better and when the people know that the interest that you show for them is real and you dont look for any personal benefit they will take you more seriously.

Some days ago, i made a big mistake cause in a class i said some words that could do that some new people go out of Krishna Movement, fortunately they still continue with us. Jaramara teachs me that one of the most important things that  we must to do is to try that the new people that are coming to Hare Krishna feel atraction for this movement.

I’m trying to put all my faith in Harinama Sankirtan is the process for this yuga isn’t it¿?

   HpS - ASA - Yes, but that are many postions in the Sankirtan movement and we have to find which one as best for us.

Aindra Prabhu said that nama japa it’s like to take a tablet but nama sankirtan is like an injection… I  find a lot of inspiration in Aindra Prabhu, he has a lot of faith in the holy names. 16 RONDAS ENTUSIASTAS!!

HpS - Some people like Japa more than Sankirtan, some like Deity worship more than either one. 

Your servant Mantri Rama Das

HpS - You report is so nice. There is a letter for Dandava. let us answer it together.

Hare Krsna!

Esteemed Radhacharan Das

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Bhakti Svarupa Damodara Swami and all the Manipuri Bhaktas.  It is so, so, so nice to hear from you. The only person who regularly writes to us, writes to us, is Mukta - Yamunesvara Das from Thoubal.

We will be in Delhi from 7-12 May but will be too short to go anywhere else. Then we expect that we will be in India for a few months starting February 2016.

Of course, we always want to help the Sankirtan in Manipur and expand the glories of Manipur to the rest of the world.

We are doing a lot of work with the Ministry of Education for ISKCON - Primary Schools, Universities...

How is your Japa vrata, Temple and schools and Manipur?

Our respects to Ekanatha, Bana-mali, Sadhu, everyone!

All Glories to Sri Gujuji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Groura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Juru Maharaja’s padmacharan that after a long gaps I got Gurujis reply of my letters. I am so happy to get Gurujis reply as asirbad and amrtabani. I will try to upload in the blog at my level best but sometimes I could not open and sometimes the message could not send properly. That is why I send the letter through the email.

I am regularly reading Srimad Bhagavatam one or more slokas now it reach upto 4.11.30-32 Svayambhu Manu’s advice to his grand son Dhruba Maharaja not to kill Yaksas who killed his stepbrother Uttama by one of the Yaksas.

     HpS - ASA -  AGTSP     Yes, if you can work through the Blog it is so much more efficient, but it is our love for Manipur that makes us try to communicate anyway.

Seems that Dhruva Maharaja let himself go a little crazy, passionate, in his war with the Yaksa, thinking that since he is a Ksatriya, then one of his Ministers or family members will pull him back to goodness.

 According to astronomical calculation, along with the polestar there is another star, which is called Sisumara, where Lord Visnu, who is in charge of the maintenance of this material world, resides. Sisumara or Dhruvaloka can never be reached by anyone but the Vaisnavas, as will be described by the following sloka. Srimad-bhagavatama 4.12.27 and

As Sisumara, Visnuloka or Dhruvaloka are completely different from this material world, so a Visnu temple within this world is also completely different from this material world. 4.12.29

In these two quotations, there is a confusion that is the three names Sisumara, Dhrubaloka and Beikuntha or Visnuloka are the same loka? And we simply heard that any living entities who climbed up to the Veikuntha loka will automatically return and get the birth and death bodies but here Dhruva Maharaja get the Dhrubaloka and mentioned by Narada that he will never return and the birth and death life. Please clarify the truth.

              HpS - Yes, no one is forced to return from Vaikuntha. Is a thief is being chased by the police for stealing a woman's purse, and he runs into the French Embassy in Delhi, the Delhi police cannot follow him. Legally, the French embassy is NOT a part of India. Iindian laws, police, military have no authority there.

So, like that, no? Dhruva loka (which it seems is also called Sisumara) is an Embassy of the Vaikuntha world.

We the bhaktas of Thoubal celebrated Goura Purnima (appearance day) of Gouranga Mahaprabhu on the 5th of March in the evening (Sandhya) with abhisek and change of dresses with arati and other sankritans along with brata. And in the next day we invite some local people and arranged prasadam for about 35 members. For about 2 hours we performed nama sankritana and different bhajans.

   HpS - Super!!!

Please let us know   the timing of Guruji’s visit India and Manipur, especially for Thoubal unprotected neophyte devotees. No one is taking care from the ISKCON so the bhaktas and beisnabis of Thoubal  are waiting like orphan. But one day or other, some one or other will send any guide for us to guide in the way of spiritual life, in this hope we are chanting his holy names. 

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - AGTSP - Paoho. We are in Houston, Texas for 12-days, working very hard with Primary School, Internation Education Projects and with disciples. By Krsna's arrangement we will be in Delhi (Vraja) from the 7th-12th of May. After that it looks like we will go to India in Februrary of 2016 and stay for a few months!

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!
