Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva:

AGTSP ¡¡¡

PAOHO

I hope this letter meets U in really good health ¡¡¡

Gurudeva I have a deep concern about the preaching ¡¡ For instance I see that the deities like to be dressed, like the bhoga, etc but umm specially  Gaura Nitai They like to hear classes, bhajams ¡¡¡ They like sankirtan ¡¡¡Harinam ¡¡¡

So I feel sad when I do not see that these programs develop in the temple, because me as pujari I try that the deities be beautiful and attractive so the devotees may feel encourage and try to do their service better ¡¡¡ but honestly we do not have the commit to create a program and to develop it... so please advice us what shall we do, so the devotees commit for this purpose? Work with young and new people?? with the advice of elder devotees?? please give us some enlightment. Nowadays the temple is doing like concerts is that right? 

Thank U all so much 

Looking forward for your reply

Always trying to be your disciple

                HpS - AGTSP....    paoho...    Don't know details!!!      Basic strategy is wherever you go, whomever you meet, tell them about Krsna.  Then you will automatically begin to see what systematic programs are needed.  Prabhupada gives us basic program of Kirtan, lecture, kirtan prasada, so that can go on morning and night.  Of course, Kirtan can be Concerts.  One formula is to let Krsna do His job of sending innocent people and we keep pure and the people are determined to listen even if our presentacion isn't Hollywood.

            Hmmm.  Work on creating a balanced preaching program you self there and then see how it can be expanded to others, no?

PAMHO Gurudev: TgSP

Espero que se encuentre bien de salud cuando reciba este mensaje.

            HpS - TlgaSP!!!  Solamente momento pasado pregutand que pasa con Vd!  Muy bien

Envio algunas fotos del Ratha Yatra de Madrid, donde miles de personas pudieron escuchar los Santos Nombres, pudieron ver las caras de Sus Señorias Jagannatha, Baladev y Subhadra y pudieron degustar varios miles de bolitas de prasadam.

Jay Jagannath Swami.... Jay Jaganath... Jay Baladeva... Jay Subhadra!

            HpS - Hay mas fotos?  En la Web?            Su salud, cirugio???   El libro KRSNA?

                               Su tonto discípulo, Anandamaya das.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva.
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Excuse me for not writing sooner. We know from the KD that's fine,
we all (Karuna, Sita, Arjuna, and I) are good, struggling to follow your instructions.
 
Gurudeva, last Saturday Temple Board Chosica us that the National Board approved Peruvian Yatra integrate two new members to the Board of Temple Chosica: Ekacakra and Anandamaya das Prabhu.
As you know, some time ago they (the Board and senior devotees Chosica) are asking for my support, but I had been reluctant to order.
Now I have accepted, despite my lack of time and my ineptitude. The ideal would have been to first ask to you that you think. But I do not because here are fickle anime proposals and I would not even bother with something that did not happen.
   Dear Gurudeva, later still would like to know sincerely think you? This my new service. Without their blessings there a successful plan. Waiting for your reply.
 
                                Your silly disciple Anandamaya days.

=====================================================

Estimado Discipulo Tonto,
TlgaSP. Pfanrh....   Como su Consejero Tonto puedo decir que aparece muy bien para nosotros. 1) Las cosas importantes que esperan la demas y Vds en la relacion tiene que ser escrito con firma de todos,  2) Tiene que ser un compromiso para un tiempo fijado, por ejemplo vamos a trabajar con miembro de la Junta con 1-hora cada semana de reuniones y dos horasa de trabajo personal HASTA fin del Deciembre esta ano. En esta fecha podemos pensar en como mejor el servicio y continuar para mas tiempo o dejar el servicio.

O.K?    Piensa es buena idea?  Tiene que realizar un revolucion para Krsna en Chosika!!!

All Glories to Sri Sri Goura-Nitay
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to H.H. Hanumatpresaka Swami

Please accept my most humble obeisance

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, I hope that your health is acceptable and you are finally getting some rest. My name is Ignacio González, from Valparaíso.

             ASA - AGTSP....  We remember you Ignacio.  Your wife, baby and cat!

Now I´m writing to give you some news about the seminars that we have been arranging for your visit in November to Valparaíso, Chile.

We have being organizing at two universities:

1.       With the Santa Maria University (UTFSM), but we haven´t got any answer from them yet… we will keep trying. Anyway this has been the modus operandi for the last 2 years.

2.       We have confirmed a seminar in the Pontifical Catholic’s university of Valparaiso (PUCV) about “el cantar de cantares”. Will attend 3 theologian teachers from the university, to discuss different aspects of the seminar. Here are the links so you can see their curriculums:

a.       Dr. Kamel Harire https://www.dropbox.com/s/au82iix07diyc2k/Curr%C3%ADculum%20%20Kamel%20Harire.doc

b.      Dr. Gonzalo Ulloa https://www.dropbox.com/s/td09udtnrwcev68/Curr%C3%ADculum%20Gonzalo%20Ulloa.doc

c.       Dr. Juan Daniel Escobar https://www.dropbox.com/s/r34qaxsalvbfjgc/Curriculum%20Vitae%20Juan%20Escobar%20%281%29.doc

All public (60) will be university students of this and other universities. Also will be invited different academicians of the university.

The people of the university ask us for a little summary of the presentation for advertising in the university, and also for the theologian teachers that will discuss with you because they want to prepare themselves for you. In addition, do we have an official name for this presentation?

That´s all for now. Anything that concerns, worries or bothers you please let me know, so I can try to repair the situation.

Your lousy servant
Ignacio

              HpS - AGTSP.   AGAIN.    We are still not sure that we are coming to South America this year.  After we get back to Nashville and settle down for a few months and WRITE then we will know for sure.   But this work on Song of Songs is very, very useful.   The title will be The Song of Songs of Solomon and the Bhakti-rasa-amrta of Srila Rupa Goswami.  Is tha O.K?   You have to keep writing about this and talking to us and see that the work is going on.   It seems 87.332% we will be there as planned and 97.11% that any work we do will be published and even if we don't attend the seminar can go on with great enthusiasm.

toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada.
 Jaya Sri Sri Gaura Nitay.
Toda gloria a Su Santidad Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaha.
Jaya Devot@s del Brahman Supremo Sri Krisna.

david ass (bs.as.)

Por favor asepte mis reverencias. Alguna vez escribi cosas estupidas y pretendi estar a la Altura de un DEVOTO. Ruego me disculpe. Soy tonto (no hay inteligencia). El escaso amor de Dios que recivi en mi vida ES, mi vida (mi UNICA fortuna, a ciencia cierta). Yo temo a HP Swami (perder Su favor). Confio tambien.

Escaso Sankirtan de estas semanas: Compre 185 Libros para ya tener en casa a la mano. solo verlos me da utsahan. Di estos dias 34 Libros pequeños. Luz del Bhagavatam 2. El promedio de libros que doy cuando salgo (a veces) es de 20(15/25). Las almas son muy receptivas del Prabhupada kripa. Quieren Dios (obviamente Atman ancia Dios). Algunos no entienden la idiosincracia (nimiedades), pero no hay argumentos si alguien pretende debatir filosoficamente (Gaura-kripa). ¡Jaya Prabhupada!
Sadhana: estoy intentando lebantarme mas temprano. canto mi voto de 10 rondas diarias.(tengo pequeña deuda anotada) (no Lo siento como antes este tiempo que vivo confucio, aunque Maha Mantra cura igual mente loca siempre). el domingo pasado tube la fortuna de asistir a los Hermanos con algun pequeño servicio en Dasanudasa (GLORIA A LOS HERMANOS!), y estar entre ellos CURA mente loca (aunque sigo siendo un tonto poco sociable y desagradable, en general. Son muy Buenos y Pacientes conmigo sus dicipulos y todos. Leo menos, cambie lecturas, vivi crisis intensa con mi fe, no me daba cuenta que Prabhupada (sus libros) es mi cordura y razon de vivir, aun tiemblo Jefe (pero siempre leo algun verso S.B. Luz del Bhagavata! es Hermoso ♥. Lei como de joven Cantar de los Cantares..si si muy LINDO ♥ ?¿ ♥).

           ASA - Jaya!  TlgaSP.  Carta poco larga y humor poco poetico para nosotros burros qien no habla bien Castellano.  Podemos entender 76%

Trato ya de no pensar en tener pareja, despues de muchas decepciones que tube e hice que almas muy buenas tengan. Ruego sus bendiciones para poder abandonar los Imposibles (lo que no es para mi, como los hechos demuestran). No carne huevo pescado, no juegos de azar, no quiero mas nada, pense mucho en morir..¡ Hrsikesa ! Deseo servir (deseo desear servir a Dios).
perdon si fui poetico..no me gusta ya mucho escribir (pensar)..a mis 15 años queria ser poeta y era patetico y retorcido (quedaron muchas secuelas).
Perdon las ofensas. a sus Santos Pies, un ass. ¡Hare Krisna Hare Rama!

        ASA - Esta bien.   Su poesia es referescante.   Poesia es ideas essencial expressada de una manera essencial!              Mas.

Dear gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

First of all i wish to express my developing sense of gratitude for initiating me into Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON and the guru parampara. Yuktasya bhaktams ca niyunjato pi, vande guroh sri-caranaravindam. Along with it came a deeper sense of responsibility towards you, SP, Krishna, and also all people who came after me to temples, who i can serve by helping and sharing what i've learned.

Besides this i still look to fix my service. I'm still engaged in helping putting out Dutch content on the Benelux website and magazine, but recently i was also investigating Dhanesvara's book. That didn't work out, and i was actually relieved about it. Now i focus on seeing if i can help BBT by putting out the Dutch BG in ebook format, along with some other publications. It shouldn't be too hard, i guess, but i yet have to delve into the technicalities. I've got four weeks of time available to work it out. See what Krishna decides.

The family had a grain ceremony at friends house which was fun. The little girl took the book, and everybody was happy. Also, this week we had a meeting with a traveling sorcerer of some sorts, from South Indian brahmin ancestry. Good siksa came out of his reading, especially the tips on how to smoothen our family life in KC. These were cooling rays of Lord Nityananda's mercy. I still need to find shelter of a good grihasta couple, where i can inquire on the matters that i have.

Basically there is still so much more scope for delving deeper into the inner realm, chanting better rounds, and such. Anarta nivrti is very intense these last few days, very sad and ugly things coming up intensely. There is a mercury retrograde until july 20th i learned, adding to this. I have to laugh about it every time i think of a description i heard you give, that after cleansing finding that whats there is basically a big mess.

Still finding solace and learning opportunities in your online classes from Hawaii, and it's fun following whats happening with the travelling creature. So happy that things are moving forward for you with the publishing, and i wish you find the help you need with the promotion and beneficial circumstances for your writing.

About the MED website, looks good so far. I haven't got any background in this kind of content, but it seems there is so much data that has to be added. Are schools gonna be able to login and update things themselves, besides a webmaster running the site?

               HpS - AGTSP.        Jaya!          Thank you the news!!!   Yes, there are a lot of questions.    One basic thing I am is that people should pay to be Members. Then there will be money to pay people to do the Web-master work, write good articles for the newsletter.  Then people will get good information for their investment.   If it is basically O.K.   then we can run it and learn by doing.

Looking forward to joining in at Japa Joe's den whenever i can. My obeisances unto you maharaja.

Raghava Pandit das

              HpS - ASA -  The sister of Raghava Pandit is very famous, no?   She made unimagineable bags of Bhoga for Lord Caitanya in Puri that Raghava carried to the Lord.  Please send us news of your Yatra!!!
