Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna querido Gurudeva, por favor perdona mis ofensas y acepta mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias

Nosotros sabemos teóricamente que un devoto como Usted está prácticamente en el mundo espiritual y protegido siempre por el mismo Señor, pero nuestra falta de fé hace que nos preocupemos siempre por su cuerpo... Y en nuestra Puja diaria oramos a Nrshimhadeva por su protección... 

HpS - AgtSP. We pray to Krsna every day to reduce how much we abuse our body. We struggle inch by inch to offer proper Bhoga to Lord Nrsmhadeva so that our Body will be satisfied by honoring the remnants. We try to hear from the Parampara and not mundane tidings of the flickering world.

Nosotros estamos bien, hemos estado sirviendo a los devotos y a Sus Señorías JBS, GN, Govardhan y a nuestros KB y G, aquí en Río por cuatro meses.

HpS - Rio de Janero?

Ahora estamos partiendo por un tiempo a Minas Gerais, un estado de Brasil a cinco horas de Río de Janeiro [Aaah!].

El lugar se llama "El canto del Papagayo", llegando vamos a averiguar porque el nombre.

ASA - Gracias!

Dicen que es un lugar paradisíaco, proyecto con visión de establecer una comunidad rural - eco - turistica cómo ofrenda a Srila Prabhupada al servicio de Iskcon de una mataji de aquí de Brasil... No tenemos mayor información por ahora, nosotros estaremos un tiempo allá y quizás volvamos a Río después de un tiempo... Este mundo es muy cambiante.

ASA - 1) Quien soy, 2) Quien Somos, 3) Cual es la plan, 4) Que parafernalia necesitamos.

Hemos intentado resumir todo lo que quisiéramos contarle acerca de lo que regularmente hacemos, pero no queremos robarle mucho de su valioso tiempo...

Voy a mandarle un apéndice.

Por favor perdóneme por ser incapaz de ganar su misericordia...

Su tonto aspirante a sirviente AmD.

HpS - Super. ===:>> Proxima carta!

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva, please forgive my offenses and accept my humble and respectful obeisances.

 We know theoretically that a devotee like you is practically in the spiritual world and always protected by the same Lord, but our lack of faith makes us always worry about your body... And in our daily Puja we pray to Nrshimhadeva for his protection. ..

 We are fine, we have been serving the devotees and Their Lordships JBS, GN, Govardhan and our KB and G here in Rio for four months.

 Now we are leaving for a while in Minas Gerais, a Brazilian state five hours from Rio de Janeiro.

 The place is called "El canto del Papagayo", arriving we will find out why the name. They say it is a paradisiacal place, a project with a vision of establishing a rural-eco-tourist community as an offering to Srila Prabhupada at the service of Iskcon from a mataji from here in Brazil... We do not have more information for now, we will be there for a while and maybe we will return to Rio after a while... This world is very changeable.

 We've tried to summarize everything we'd like to tell you about what we regularly do, but we don't want to take up too much of your precious time...

 I'm going to send you an addendum.

 Please forgive me for being unable to win mercy from him...

 Your foolish would-be servant AmD

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd

HpSwami - AgtSP!! Paoho otra vez y otra vez. The help you have offered to us, Srila Prabhupada, and the devotees is wonderful. Thank, thank, thank you.

We posted the list to Jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt

May Krsna help us all control our senses and mind, and become more and more competent members of Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan chorus.

Let us look at a few more letters.

Thank you!!! ! !

Dear Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances.

. . . . All glories to your service.

. . . . . . . All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

On behalf of my whole family, we would like to thank you for your association over the past few months.

HpS - On behalf of our whole family we want to say that it was our benefit! [Monkey, Piggy, Uncle Gismo et al]

The mystic mountains of North East India, the castles of Spain, the warmth of Mexico. It has been a truly life-changing experience for all of us—even for my father, who upon our return to Mayapur was deeply moved seeing the film of his grand daughter, Suryani, speaking the glories of Navapwid Dham during the children’s Gaura Purnima drama at Nueva Govardhan, Monterrey, Mexico 2023.

Speaking of Nueva Govardhan, to witness the inauguration in your association of such high potential project has been a great honor. The opportunities for families, community, varna-ashrama and sankirtan are inspiring.  We wish to see the project grow. With your guidance we hope to contribute. 

We apologise to all the nice devotees of Mexico City that we were unable to participate in the programs there. They looked wonderful and we hope to be able to contribute next time. 

By the time you get this electronic mail we would have spent at least one week back in Sri Dham Mayapur. After experiencing some serious jetlag, we are now finding our rhythm. 

We are also keeping in contact with friends we made on the journey, such as Gadadhara Gosai P. and his good wife Anandamaya M. as well as Govinda Pramodini M. and Bhakta Guillermo with the hope of developing more sankirtan.

Your servants,

Dhruvānanda Dasa, Dhanesvari DD, Suryani and Sarasvati

HpS - Jaya!!!! The same to you and more of it!!! We aren't traveling much more without a travel partner...

Swami Atul has a proposition for some very help you could do with these BhVedant diplomas.

'ows the elefant, mate?

Hare Krishna Dear GuruMaharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to you!

All glorious glories to Srila Prabhupada!

So I just wanted to write you a quick note to say that I have started reciting the translation to Gurvastaka daily. I don't have it memorized yet, but I'm reading it a lot!

Today was my last official day for Tulasi service, so I was able to share all I know with the new people how we serve Her in the greenhouse.

They were very patient with me, I think a lot of them already knew how to do the service, one person has a Manjari tattooed on her arm.

So I think with quality people like this, who are already possibly more experienced, that Srimati Tulasi Devi will be taken care of very nicely.

When we got back to the pujari room, Mother Chandravali was engaging some of the devotees in Krishna House to polish Radha Kalachandji's paraphernalia. So we got to see Their pure silver Ekadasi crowns!!!

Plus the copy I ordered of Kamala Subramanium's Mahabharata came in the mail, and I'm very excited to read it! I heard it is so detailed and gripping! Then I can figure out how to use that book, plus NOI, LOB, and TLC to preach.

Oh plus I'm excited to see the new DTC-UT!

And after Houston, I was wondering if I could stop by the Boro to see you?

See you in Houston!

Thank you for everything!

Your aspiring servant,

Jaya Hari Das

HpS - All great news. Of course, we are meeting already in Houston, but this letter gives us such great perspective on who we are seeing through our gross conception of life. See you in Gauranga Hall in a few minutes.

Dear Guru Maharaja, AGTSSGN AGTSP PAMHO!!

Hare Krishna! I hope you are well, recovering energy from the very intense days of preaching you had in Mexico.

HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta said that unless you like constantly talking with people who want to hear about Krsna only, you won't be happy in the spiritual world.

We have to learn to swim in the waves of Sankirtan!!

I already in the north of Chile back to work and material responsibilities.

This report is very different from others, for several reasons. First, I wanted to thank you for your so pleasant and uplifting company, it has been very important for me to share these last few weeks with you; to Lalita Radha, Saranagati and Laghu Bhagavatamrta for their friendship and all the support they gave me, they really made my stay unforgettable, also to Govinda Pramodini for her way of working and helping to expand the reach of NIOS there, I was able to learn a lot from all of them. Going out to Harinama and distributing books it’s something that I don’t usually do, at least not like these days with you, thank you for this.

I always have conflicts for not going unnoticed, unfortunately to meet certain goals or do what is needed, it is necessary to be noticed. I took many of the things that you emphasized in the classes as direct instructions, a clear example is Confusio and Revenge, I would have to dig several graves to take that path, there were plenty of reasons, too much disrespect at all levels , at one point I felt sick for holding my temper in the face of unfair situations, but at the end of the day I think I gained much more than I lost. Furthermore, taking responsibility for the second initiation should serve me to develop more aspects of my spiritual life and my role in the Iskcon community.

I wanted to apologize, if at any point, I committed an offense or did something that wasn’t to your liking, sometimes it is inevitable to disturb others just with our presence, but it’s something elective at the same time to take this things personally, even if it’s directly our name that is used to hurting others.

I realized everything that can be done with you there, if we were able to carry out the program with martial artists, we would reach another audience that plays an important social role, they aren’t just athletes, it is the Ksatrya segment of the community that seeks to contribute and if we provide spiritual and philosophical reinforcement to these people, surely we can improve the environment. So I await your instructions to present the project and set up meetings to shape it and define dates. If so, I would travel to present with you, I hope this materializes (we have 4 months to prepare something really good), I’ll be in contact with Govinda Pramodini to give it a follow-up, her experience and insurance contacts will help, I have also thought about graphically supporting your NIOS department there, sometimes we aren’t prophets in our own land.

We lived days of very intense service and I can only say that my heart is full of love for you, that you are and will always be an inspiration to me and the most sincere way to relate to Srila Prabhupada through the example of a Vaisnava that you are.

See you soon, if Krishna wants.

Your eternal servant. Parasurama Avatar Das. Santiago - Chile.

HpS - AgtSP. Thanks to your for your maturing and developing service.

Once Sriman Hansadutta Das created a big mess in Germany and suggested to Srila Prabhupada that he should resign from active preaching, but Srila Prabhupada told him, no, that he should go on, that he was like an elephant, he did big, big, work but passed big, big stool, excrement, so please go on with your service but minimize the stool passing business because he, Srila Prabhupada, has to clean it up!

🙂

I guess you can apply the principle.

We cannot do much to organize programs or plans now. We need to get back to our Base Camp in Nashville for some time and see how the basic situation is, but don't let that stop you developing your Sankirtan.

Let us stay in touch in a heart to heart communication.

Guess the basic instruction is the same for all of us. We were hearing it in the SB class this morning: Interaction between men and women is the most fundamental skill we have to develop.

Of course as Dvija, twice born, there is the art of living in strict social relation in this area.

It is a challenge for us. We are learning how to control the subtle social relations more and more each dya.

Beloved Gurudeva please accept my obeisances to your lotus feet!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

We have just sent the audios to:

[email protected]

because when we send to the email you gave us: [email protected] We got an automatic response that there was an error. so we deduced that the email was going without www .

Please I would like to know if it arrived well and if it did not, please tell us where we can send them again.

I hope the audios are to your liking. I don't think they are well sung... but we tried.

I am immensely grateful for engaging me in Your service dear Gurumaharaja.

Yes!

On the job...

Back to you soon.
