Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Dear Gurudev, this year you planned of consolidating your sankirtan by filming a movie. Diary of a traveling creature, The ultimate trip. You make Srila Prabhupada accessible to me and with him to all The Guru Parampara. This project indicates, as you have said several times, that your time on this planet is coming to an end. You have given so much, your intelligence will spread through my entire generation and the next !!

When I read this in the introduction to the SB I automatically thought of you !!

"The only thing one has to do is to hear from a self-realized soul with a routine program. The teacher may also deliver lectures from the Vedic literatures, following in the footsteps of the bygone ācāryas who realized the Absolute Truth. Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recommended this simple method of self-realization generally known as Bhāgavata-dharma. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the perfect guide for this purpose."

It is true that one cannot take all that the Guru offers !! But maybe due to your causeless mercy I can grab a little bit of it!!

Infinite mercy to have known you !!

Your proud would-be Servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Querido Gurudev, este año usted planeó consolidar su sankirtan, filmando una película. Diario de una criatura viajera, El viaje definitivo. Usted hace que Srila Prabhupada me sea accesible y con el a todo El Gurú Parampara. Este proyecto indica, como usted dijo varias veces, que su tiempo en éste planeta está llegando a su fin. Usted ha dado tanto, su inteligencia se expandirá a través de toda mi generación y la siguiente!!

Cuando leí esto en la introducción del SB automáticamente pensé en usted!!

"Lo único que uno tiene que hacer es oír a un alma autorrealizada, mediante un programa diario. A su vez, el maestro puede dictar conferencias sobre la base de las Escrituras védicas, siguiendo los pasos de los ācāryas anteriores que llegaron a comprender la Verdad Absoluta. El Señor Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu recomendó ese sencillo método de autorrealización, generalmente conocido como bhāgavata-dharma. El Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam es la guía perfecta para ese propósito."

Es cierto que uno no puede tomar todo lo que el Gurú ofrece!! Pero tal vez por su misericordia sin causa, pueda obtener un poco de ello.

Infinita misericordia de haberlo conocido!!

Su orgulloso aspirante a Sirviente,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Thank you!!! We hope to see you soon, but really our energy is diminishing and we suspect that our meetings will be more and more by the paramatma net.

Become a paramahamsa. It is easier than being a conditioned soul, no?

Dear Gurudev,

 Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. 

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

 Gurudev, HG Jibesh Probhuji wants to open a small sankirten center

 in Malda district ( his home town district ) of west bengal.

 Purpose is to serve village people. He wants to reach out village people.

 So he wants your comments and advise.

Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

ASA - Please write again using the Priority Codes in the Kapi Dhvaja, thank you.

HpS - Thank you.!!. AgtSP! We have so much association from all of your through Panca-tattva Das. He challenges us to be better devotees.

Srila Prabhupada has given us a cup to extract the essence of the Vedas in the form of Krsna book and NOI and we just cook to be an ASA, handle on that cup.

Find our place in the choir and help others.

Krsna will send the innocent souls.

They will be patient to hear.

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

El día de hoy se comunicó conmigo bhaktin Natyelli y Govinda Pramodini dd para saber sobre la carta de recomendación que las autoridades del templo de Sus Señorías Radha Madana Gopal le enviaron o enviaran a Usted a través de Govinda Pramodini mataji.

He tenido una linea de comunicación con las autoridades del templo sobre este tema pero desconozco la urgencia de tal envío, pues siguiendo Sus instrucciones el blog a sido el medio de comunicación para que los demás también puedan estar informados y hacerlo con el tiempo necesario.

HpS - Si, el Blog es super, pero si hay otro media practico no lo deja.

En base a las preguntas de Govinda Pramodini mataji este es mi reporte.

Hemos dado seguimiento al grupo de aspirantes desde bastante tiempo, tuvimos varias reuniones durante diferentes administraciones del templo con el grupo interesado en recibir formalidades, en el camino lleno de pruebas del yatra algunos aspirantes decidieron de forma personal ir con más calma, por esa razón quienes los conocen se habrán dado cuenta que no aparecen sus nombres en estas cartas.

Específicamente en el caso de bhaktin Natyelli: en su última visita a México, en el año 2019 fue recomendada para recibir refugio formal.

En la administración actual con prabhu Sankirtana se retomo nuevamente el tema, las autoridades se reunieron con ella y todo el grupo de aspirantes y también hemos tenido conversaciones individuales por temas particulares que humildemente se sugiere cada aspirante debe reportarle a Usted.

Ella recibió el curso para discipulos en línea pero por detalles técnicos del curso no recibió el certificado.

Respecto a prabhu Arya Srestha, se me informó desde hace un tiempo que el templo tiene especial interés en su segunda iniciación y están listos para entregar la carta de recomendación pues en estos años difíciles ha dedicado con mucho esmero su tiempo y energía al templo.

Parece que el único requisito que le falta es el curso para discipulos, me informa que ya está inscrito para recibir el curso en línea.

Hasta el momento estamos informados que bhakta Marco está más adelantado con el tema de la ceremonia de fuego para la iniciación, ya estoy en comunicación con prabhu Maturesh de Bolivia esperando su aprobación de la fecha propuesta ( Viernes 14 de Enero) conforme ellos definan el itinerario local.

La pregunta es, en base a la urgencia del Templo bhaktin Natyelli también será considerada para la ceremonia de fuego de prabhu Marco ?

HpS - Si ella canta su rondas y sigue 4-principios, con carta del Temple, puede.

Personalmente mi pregunta es si Prabhu Arya Srestha también podría estar en la misma ceremonia? quizá el pueda esforzarse en terminar el curso a tiempo.

HpS - Si. Misma como encima, pero tambien podemos organizar Diksa fin de Febrero aqui y Houston March 7-17 posible.

Disculpe por favor si parece apresurado, pero surgieron estás preguntas para saber la logística de la ceremonia planeada.

Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa atención.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd

HpS - La vida es ser apresurado de una manera o otro, no? En Mexico or Goloka. Maha maya and Yoga maya. Todos siguiendo 4-16 y letter of recommendation from Temple and intrevista personal, no?

😁 Thank you so much. Ya terminamos Diksa for Rama Krsna-ananda Das en Richmond, Virginia. Muy potent, feliz! 40 devotos plus online.

🌻Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva🌻

Please accept my respectful obeisances to Your merciful and holy feet,

who as the faithful representative of Sri Nityananda,

provide shelter for fallen souls.

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!🌟 All glories to you!!🌟

I hope you are very well and surely in good company with your saintly guests. I know you are very busy with the movie filming, so I will try to be brief and punctual as much as I can.

🙏 I will send you my annual report in the respective section, which includes a report on sadhana and services. For the services that I am in charge of, I need to consult you and ask for your support in the following🙏:

-SRI VYASAPUJA:

I was in charge of poster design and also the reception coordination of the devotees in the Vyasa Puja. This service will be in charge of Ramana Reti DD and Laksmana Agraja prabhu. The poster has already been published in Facebook, but I also promised you to send it.

I was concerned about the requirements to enter could make some devotees uncomfortable, for both hosts and guests. I was worried about it, and I hope that devotees who do not want to be vaccinated can understand this sanitary considerations. I know that health protocols to be followed in the Sri Vyasapuja has been arranged by Palika DD and Candramukhi DD jointly with you, so I ask you, if you feel it right, to give support to these measures (maybe in your answer to this letter), to avoid misunderstandings.

It is described in the poster, but I describe them if necessary:

..................................................................................................................................................

The Entry Protocol will be the following: (it is specified in the poster)

I was told that with regard to participation there will be a registration form, given the pandemic conditions, there will be a maximum capacity of 100 people, who can register until December 29. https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSftIPboFUIhBK.../viewform

At the time of entering the premises, each person will be required one of these 2 types of health certificates: 

1. Certificate of vaccination or

2. Negative Certificate of COVID-19 dated 02/01/22 (for those who are not vaccinated)

In the same way, when entering they must wear a mask and try to keep their distance from others.

...............................................................................................................................................

The Vyasapuja organizers are trying to follow the rules that the government requires in public places, but I think, it is important that devotees, and general public knows that you have also aproved this measures to avoid contagion during the celebration.

P.D: Today, Palika mataji, told me that there will be a representative of the club who will be in charge of requesting everyone's certificates.

Thank you very much for your valuable time dear Gurudeva,

At your feet, trying to serve you,

Thanks a million for your shelter,

so many blessings and guidance,

every day, every moment.

Indira-Śakti Devi dasi 🙏

🌷

HpS - Thank you. Every day is two MAJOR programs now, and so many, many, many minor programs, and it is becoming more intense, and the Omicron mutant is becoming so intense... Hare Krsna! 😀

I do not know everything about pandemic control. We have association of Nitai Gaurasundara Das and three more India, ISKCON, doctors. We are exchanging some texts and citations with Rupanuga. Our conclusion is that the above standards are necessary.

Everyone entering physically having evidence of proper vaccination or no contamination within one day and then masks and proper distance.

Of course, within our own "villages" we can keep different standards.

Also, the physical program is just one program.

We hope to be on line with Mexico, Australia, Boise, 1st and 2nd, and the everyone can participate by internet in the program the 3rd also.

We are even having to limit visits from Chosica ashrama or anymore families in residence here in the Sta Eulalia ashrama.

We just have too many vulnerable foreign guests, and local guests, movie directors et al.

After V-puja we will be here for another week and then La Paz for a week, then back again.

Very soon we will all be quarantined by death from bodily contact with others.

Thank you!

Today is Thursday, 23Dec 2021 and a Hanumat-preshak Swami disciple aspirant, Bhakta Jayson, is giving one his first Srimad Bhagavatam classes.

He told us about how "You take a candle to light to another candle. In the same way Krishna is the source of Lord Vishnu, Lord Brahma and Lord Siva. 🕯

If Krishna wants to save somebody no one can stop them. If Krishna wants to annihilate someone, no one save them. The Lord always protects the devotee.

Unalloyed means metal not mixed with other metals. We go back to godhead through unalloyed devotional service.☃️

It's very important that we hear the Vedic literatures. Submissive hearing leads to remembrance.🐒

We have a body that is like a prison. 🧱When we say 'Krishna', our original consciousness is manifested. Study the Vedas and associate with saintly people, in this way facilitate our progression to the spiritual existence."🐄

Very nice class.

Mishra Bhagavan Dasa Radhakalachandji Dhama Texas 🤠

HpS - ASA -- Thank you pardner!! I guess the actual class was a little longer?? 😎

In your next life would you prefer to be Vyasa deva or Bhimasena?
