Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja 🙏

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Attached are two photos of Pankajanghri Prabhu.

Your insignificant servant.

HpS - Such a pleasant persons, Pankajanghri and Jananivasa . Sometimes, when we were in Mayapura they would invite us to take breakfast, little Radha Madhava Mahaprasada with them. We took their one week deity service course long time ago.

We love to chant before their picture.

Only pray that our Harinam kirtan is useful in their service wherever Srila Prabhupada wants them to stay!!!

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.... ... .. ...

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaj HH Hanumat Presaka Swami. Please accept our obeisances at your sweet merciful lotus feet.

Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaj,

We wrote a letter long, long time ago .....waiting...waiting for a reply....still waiting. But today, we have to write this urgent letter.

HpS - AgtSP! We wrote in the KDh that we had too many letters at the New Years, so we tried to extract prominent things and gradually answer those, and please write again. So here we are!

Manipur is opening another university . Would you kindly suggest what course we can open here which will be appropriate for the devotees? The Commissioner of the University will be visiting soon and we plan to put our ideas forward. They already have a department of Yoga. We can propose the exchange programme between Manipur and Peru too. This has come at a very appropriate timing. We are eagerly waiting for your instructions Guru Maharaj.

HpS - I would say that first you should think about what kind of program YOU want to motivate. Then look for other people who have personal motivation to present something. A general, intellectually defined program won't be as stable as something starting with personal passion and commitment that then goes to the intellectual and mental and sensual level.

O.K?

Personally, we are finishing with all projects and consolidating our works lifetime with the aim of producing a series of maybe five movies, videos, of stimulating quality.

Light of the Bhagavat, the book, art etc. is a very nice program! Maybe someone would like to do that! It could be a regular symposium: Cultivation of the Human Spirit... Light of the Bhagavata, Light of the Bible, Light of the Scientific Revolution.

Hope this helps.

We are attending mangal arti regularly now. Just back from Vraj.....thank you Guru Maharaj....thank you for your immense mercy. We dressed up the Deities of ISKCON Vrindavan on Gaura Purnima....Sri Radha Shyamasundara in Manipuri attire. Gaura Nityai felt abandoned that day.....all eyes on Sri Radhe.......

HpS - Ahhh! Devotees here noticed that and commented on it twice. You are influencing the world with YOUR love, passion.

We offered our obeisances at Barsana.......astasakhi villages.....Nandagaon......Saket.... How we wish we could accompany Govardhan parikrama with you Guru Maharaj. We miss you so much. We stayed a night at RadhaKund. We are sending you some pics,

HpS - We will meet in this world or another.

We continue our preaching at the medical campus too. We have an induction programme as part of a new curriculum by National Medical Commision. We requested HG Ramanuja Das to take 2 sessions on Time management and Stress management. The students were very happy about the session. We spoke on Training the mind. Thank you Guru Maharaj for your grace.

HpS - If someone likes it LOB is a good basis. We have the art in big files. It seems appropiate for Manipur and the general theme of the original conference would be good. Then Philosophy and Modern Practice of Literature of Srila Rupa Goswami (NoD, NoI).

We are planning to open a preaching centre close to our hospital. Rent is 9500 rupees per month. Please give us the strength and the will to serve you better dear Guru Maharaj.

HpS - Wow! Seems like a lot. Some one there every day?

Special things are possible in Manipur.

Hope other devotees in this Blog are enthused to help.

your most insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

Bhadra-rupa Das writes us:

Dear Hanuman Presaka Swami Maharaj,

Dear Radhika Raman Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, this album which was inspired by the Gita Govinda has also created a big impact for the Ministry of Culture from the Government of India represented by India's National Academy of Music, Dance and Drama in New Delhi, which is the highest authority of Arts in India.

I attached an article written by the India's National Academy of Music, Dance and Drama of New Delhi about their impression and the description of how it was conducted in the research of this album guided by this prestigious national academy. In this article, this national academy mentioned twice the name of my Guru Maharaj as my spiritual master who gave me this instruction and HH Hrdayananda Maharaja, as the artistic director of this album. By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, according to this attached article, this album has written history in Indian music.

In this attached article, this National Academy stated this album as:

"This is the first time that a full music album based on the Gita Govinda has been produced and released by an international music company such as Sony Music. This album aims to create a niche for Indian music in the international music field and industry".

"This album is proving a global sensation, a product of Dr Luis De La Calle's comprehensive effort, leaving no stone unturned in taking a historical/mythological work into a musical album on the global stage. This kind of intelligence inspires others to come out of their shells and do exceptional work". 

The National Academy of Music, Dance and Drama of New Delhi will send this attached article to the Indian media (newspapers, magazines, radios and TV) across the country for its publication.

By the mercy of Srila Prabhu, for nex music albums which will be inspired in the vaishnava padavali, we will have full support from the Indian Government.

I humbly beg for your blessings to continue successfully with this personal instruction from my GM to finish it in this lifetime.

Thank you very much for your saintly association.

Your servant,

Bhara Rupa das

HpS/ASA - The article is at: http://www.jayarama.us/archives/gita-gov-brd.pdf

We hope Prof. BrD can participate in our movie, Diary of a Traveling Creature, and Solaris.



Dear Hanumat Presaka Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

I've been focusing on my book, applying for grants, teaching and trying to use social media platforms to publicize KC through dance.

Maharaj, I wanted to ask for some advice regarding this...I feel like maybe there is a calling to do something with regards to reaching out to many people through KC and dance.

However my digital platform is quite small still. I'm feeling a bit lost and it's really difficult to survive after leaving my dance school. Seeking some transcendental vision, knowledge and light🙏

You're aspiring servant,

Yajnaseni D D

HpS - Thank you for your letter and association.

In Kali-yuga we can see that women (like you), children, old men (like us) and animals are all in very difficult position, but there is one Greatly Good Thing. Just chant HK! and get liberated and go to Goloka and learn how to dance from Lord Balarama.

He is a a very great dance teacher.

So, the real thing is how much we can be engaged in kirtaniya sada harih. Am I writing this letter without chanting??? Stop!!

Krsna writes the best letters.

Within that then 16-enthusiastic rounds, Kirtans morning and evening... then!

We can see our Dharma well.

-0-0-0-

Music, Dance, Drama are Gandharva veda. We are doing GV, not Vastu, not Ayur, not Danda... LC was always dancing out the meaning, Bhava, of the songs, no?

So..... it is great preaching.

We need and ISKCON Dasa-avatar to show to other traditions.

We need Gaura-arati dance. It is a very descriptive son.

Jaya Radha Madhava. Udillo aruna. So many songs need to be put into dances.

1. Who are you?
2. Who are we? Find maybe five people who have some good idea about the first question and then connect with them.
3. Then What is the Plan?
4. What Things do we need.

Set a standard of rounds you are going to do until the next Purnima. Really consider what you can do, live or die.

Hmmm. 4/day... 11/day... 1/year on Janmastami... but DO IT. Then you will advance in "Who am I". (NOD)

Then.... Krsna will put you in contact with different people.

Was life easy for Kunti?

Gandhari?

Mandodari?

Radharani?

Devaki?

Devahuti?? Hmm. How is it going to be for Yajnaseni D D.

There are several girls working in this area. One I know but she is in Spanish language. She writes here. Prati-jalps.

Do what you can do now, but get your Japa down

Hope this helps a little.

Hare Krsna Hare Rama.

Hare Krsna querido Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias.

¡Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada!

Y todas las Glorias sean a Usted que nos ocupa en el trascendental sankirtana de Su Divino Maestro.

Deseando se encuentre en buena salud escribo para rendir el informe anual de actividades que, por su misericordia, realizamos a través de “CRECER VAISNAVA”

Crecer Vaisnava Tiene como finalidad realizar actividades en línea de soporte educativo. Nuestros esfuerzos están dirigidos a familias Vaisnavas con hijos de hasta 12 años de edad. Participar de este programa ha sido muy divertido y revitalizante, tuvimos algunas dificultades causadas por mi salud, pero intentamos continuar.

*Durante el 2020 iniciamos una sección llamada “Club del Krsna Book” estuvimos estudiando un capitulo por semana. 

Fue un proyecto para familias muy agradable. Las familias proponían actividades; adivinanzas, drama, narraciones y un cuestionario del capítulo asignado por semana. Nosotros respondíamos preguntas y establecíamos dinámicas de profundización. (Estamos compilando todo para hacer un libro que concentre todas las actividades sugeridas.) Fue muy agradable pero tuvimos que suspenderlo a mediados de año por los problemas con mi salud.  Cuando el programa se detuvo, un grupo de 3 familias que asistían, iniciaron por su cuenta el estudio del Bhagavad-Gita para niños de 12 y 13 años, recientemente hemos estado en contacto con ellos para apoyarles y ellos también me han ayudado bastante. Estamos trabajando para retomar este proyecto en los próximos meses.

*En el área de Traducción

El equipo al fin termino la traducción del libro publicado por el Grihasta Vision Team titulado “Conexión del Alma y Corazón: Una guía devocional para el matrimonio, Servicio y Amor” Ahora estamos trabajando en el proceso de revisión y corrección de estilo.

Tenemos la esperanza de que estos esfuerzos sean de gran benéfico para los Grihastas de habla hispana. La publicación de este material estará a cargo del equipo del Grihasta Vision Team, encabezado por madre Uttama Devi Dasi.

*Libros y material de estudio para niños.

Estamos trabajando en 2 proyectos. Liderados por 2 devotas pintoras (Madre e hija)

Se trata de un libro de Ramayana para niños de 8 a 13 años. 

Y otro de “Los avatares” aun estamos en proceso de definición de estilo, en cuanto tengamos algo avanzado estaré informando con mayor detalle.

Además de lo anterior, estamos trabajando en otros cuadernillos de trabajo menos ambiciosos que resultaran del Club del Krsna Book.

*Revista Digital para Padres Educando en el Hogar para Crecer Vaisnava.

A partir de este año retomaremos la publicación de nuestra revista digital considerando las recomendaciones de un devoto que trabaja como editor para una revista, y para hacerlo más sostenible, únicamente realizaremos 2 publicaciones al año.

Por el momento es todo, Muchas gracias querido Gurudeva su misericordia sin causa es lo único que nos mantiene en pie, tratando de ser útiles en el trascendental Sankirtana de Srila Prabhupada. 

Aprovechamos para enviar nuestra pequeña ofrenda en el marco de su trascendental Vyasa Puja. Esperamos que le agrade. https://youtu.be/eS5kV5Hr9Ic

En honor a su Vyasa puja, mi hermana Pati-Prana DD preparo un pastel para Sri Nrsmhadeva, Para Sri Gopal y para Usted y mi madre Citraleka Sakhi DD hizo otras preparaciones (envió fotos). Yo apoyé en la compra de flores para la celebración de su VP en el templo y por su misericordia sin causa obsequie 6 Bhagavad-Gitas a los vendedores, todos lo recibieron con mucha alegría y retribuyeron con Flores.

Gracias por ocuparnos en servicio Gurudeva.

Su Sirviente

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories be to Srila Prabhupada!

And all the Glories be to You who occupy us in the transcendental Sankirtana of Your Divine Master.

HpS - OUR divine master. 🙏

😊

Wishing you are in good health, I am writing to present the annual report of activities that, by your mercy, we carry out through "CRECER VAISNAVA"

Crecer Vaisnava, its purpose is to carry out online educational support activities. Our efforts are directed at Vaisnava families with children up to 12 years of age. Participating in this program has been a lot of fun and revitalizing, we had some difficulties caused by my health, but we tried to continue.

* During 2020 we started a section called "Krsna Book Club" and we were studying one chapter per week. It was a very nice family project. The families proposed activities; riddles, drama, storytelling, and a weekly assigned chapter quiz. We answered questions and established dynamics of deepening. (We are compiling everything to make a book that concentrates all the suggested activities.)

It was very nice but we had to suspend it in the middle of the year due to problems with my health. When the program stopped, a group of 3 families who attended, started on their own the study of the Bhagavad-Gita for children of 12 and 13 years, recently we have been in contact with them to support them and they have also helped me a lot. We are working to restart this project in the coming months.

ASA - !!! 😃 !

No better program in the world! Todo disponible in Espanyol.

* In the Translation area the team finally finished the translation of the book published by the Grihasta Vision Team entitled Heart and Soul Connection: A Devotional Guide for Marriage, Service and Love. We are now working on the proofreading and proofreading process. We are hopeful that these efforts will be of great benefit to Spanish-speaking Grihastas. The publication of this material will be the responsibility of the Grihasta Vision Team, headed by mother Uttama Devi Dasi.

HpS - and Partha Das! They are my old friends for decades.

* Books and study material for children: We are working on 2 projects. Led by 2 devoted painters (Mother and daughter). This is a Ramayana book for children ages 8 to 13, and another of "The avatars" which we are still in the process of defining the style. As soon as we have something advanced I will be informing in more detail.

In addition to the above, we are working on other less ambitious workbooks that will result from the Krsna Book Club.

* Digital Magazine for Parents Homeschooling to Grow Vaisnava: Starting this year we will resume the publication of our digital magazine considering the recommendations of a devotee who works as an editor for a magazine, and to make it more sustainable, we will only make 2 publications a year.

For the moment it is all, Thank you very much dear Gurudeva, your causeless mercy is the only thing that keeps us standing, trying to be useful in Srila Prabhupada's transcendental Sankirtana.

HpS - A secret (?) - I am at least 90% idiot. Whatever good qualities I show are from the unlimited determination and mercy of Srila Prabhupada. Let us all thank him He left Vrndavana. It is inconceivable how happy he was there but he begged with tears in his eyes, sweeping the courtyard of the Goswamis to be able to accomplish his mission assigned by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta.

We take the opportunity to send our small offering in the framework of his transcendental Vyasa Puja. We hope you like it. https://youtu.be/eS5kV5Hr9Ic

In honor of his Vyasa puja, my sister Pati-Prana DD prepared a cake for Sri Nrsmhadeva, For Sri Gopal and for You and my mother Citraleka Sakhi DD made other preparations (sent photos). I supported the purchase of flowers for the celebration of his VP in the temple and by his mercy without cause I gave 6 Bhagavad-Gitas to the vendors, they all received it with great joy and gave back with Flowers.

Thank you for engaging us in Gurudeva service.

His servant, Karuna-Sakti DD

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Paoho! AGTSP! Reached High Springs, Florida a few minutes ago. We stopped at Pensacola last night to rest after 8hr drive. Today drove for the remaining 4hrs. Weather is very nice mid 80's. 🙏
