Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna dearest Maharaja!

Please, accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I really hope you are in good health at time you receive this message, or at least best as is possible.

HpS - See letter to Candramukhi Devi Dasi! 😎

I’m ok. My energy is not stable, some days energy is high, other days energy is down, but I still alive stuck in this material world, trying to do things right, trying to follow You and Srila Prabhupada, trying to do something to make Krishna look at me. I keep trying and I will still trying, because I’m flying upon wings of a bird called intent.

I’m writing to give some good news. Spanish version of Dr. Samaresh’s wikipedia biography was approved a few weeks ago. English version still under revision since almost 3 weeks ago; this is very good, when they rejected us before several times they did it almost immediately, so this is a good signal. Spanish version even have been edited by others wiki editors, so we are very happy. Wikipedia said that english version review may take 7 weeks or more. I send links with both versions to you. Please, Maharaja, take a look to the english draft, we are waiting for your comments and suggestions to improve it. After the English version is approved, I want to write on behalf of Nios and Hanumatpresaka Swami to the institutions where Dr. Samaresh participates and that we mention in the biography, as Sthapatyam Journal, University of Calcutta, Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, and others, to let them know about the presence of Dr. Samaresh in wikipedia, we consider this will be a very important news for them; what do you think?

HpS - We will look!

HpS - It seem like a nice start. Thank you so much!!! He gave us more references. We wrote them down. I may be able to find them, but when! We have Latin American GBC meeting tomorrow. We have more rounds to chant before taking rest. It is 8.30PM and we have been up since 2.30AM (with naps and good food), but it is your great effort that has taken it this far and we will try to work on it ourselves more. Thank you.

The other subject I want to let you know is about your instagram chilean account. During 2018, and to promote “The Art & The Sacred”, we created “ASA Chile Producciones” instagram account (also another social networks). After the event, we never published again into no one of all these social networks accounts. So, this june 28th we started to publish again, we have changed the name and now is called “Anjana Suta Academy Chile”, you can find it this way in instagram: @anjana.suta.academy_chile  

What is Instagram???? Is it a kind of food for donkeys? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_cracker

Our work is very simple: I write and publish the contents, later I send every single post to your disciple Arjuna Das for his review. We are a good team, he is very nice partner. 

Our editorial line is diffusion of activities and philosophy of the Anjana Suta Academy and of its Director, the Vaishnava Spiritual Master Hanumatpresaka Swami.

We post 2 or 3 contents every day. Some informing about your next classes and online programs through Gotomeeting, Zoom, etc. Also some summaries of your recent past class. Besides, we got 2 permanent sections: “Drops of Wisdom” and “Drops of Poetry”, brief phrases verbatim based of your writings: twitter and Monkey Warrior Blog. We quote You and inviting the audience to follow you on twitter: “síguelo / follow him on twitter.com/huber_robinson”. Every post use spanglish language. We are using appropriate #hashtags to improve the visibility of each post.

We have slow interaction until now, we are just starting and learning how to do it better. Some new followers from different countries. An indian devotee from Kolkata writed us a Direct Message yesterday, saying that he met you during 2017 in Kolkata and remember you every day because you hold “Nectar of Instruction” into your heart, and you inspire him a lot. He asked for your english classes links and we sent to him Asa Audiovisual Youtube Channel link. I send screenshots of this and samples of the contents to you. This instagram work is turning so beautiful and inspiring. Please, Maharaja, check it out in the following link, and, please, let us know if you are agree with this and with the method we are handle it: 

https://www.instagram.com/anjana.suta.academy_chile/ 

Thank you so much for everything you do for us. My life is now better than ever before, and I know that it is only just because of your mercy and association... all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

HARE KRISHNA !!!

Your aspiring servant,

Carlos.

HpS - I think that our activities are not so important unless they lead people to KRSNA! Srila Prabhupada. About 75% of what we are doing should probably be 'Instantly' edited.

ASA as a team, yes.

NIOS as a product of the ASA work, yes.

Thank you!!!! Go on making progress in following Srila Prabhupada's basic program and you will become elevated and the Angels, Gopis, can start to catch your hand and pull you into the work/fun of Vraja even in this world!!!! Thank you. We send this link to the Professor!

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!!! AgtSP!!! This letter got lost. We just found it!

Hare Krishna, mis más humuildes reverencias a usted. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupadha, y todas las glorias al movimiento de sankitana de sri Caitanya Maha Prabhu.

El motivo de mi carta es para darle una noticia muy importante y feliz para mí. Ya hace un tiempo mi esposo y yo teníamos el sueño de hacer un proyecto rural para los devotos de la comunidad de Barcelona (España), mi esposo junto con algunos devotos empezaron a buscar fincas para comprarlas (era un proceso que considerábamos en cuatro años), krishna nos puso un sitio perfecto para seguir adelante con este querido proyecto. De momento se deciden muchas cosas, el templo que adaptaremos sera de panca-tattva, no son deidades instaladas son las de mi familia pero para que aya desde un principio conciencia de krishna. Pero la verdad es que tengo mucho miedo y en muchas ocasiones no lo puedo ver con amor y me gustaría hacerlo más entregada y entusiasmada.

Gracias por su tiempo Bhaktin Indira.

HpS - Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que envió este aviso. ¿Lo que ha sucedido? Nosotros el KDPC

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP,PAMHO

I hope this letter meets You in good health.

HpS - Material body is a disease, so your statment is "I hope this letter meets you dead", but I am sorry. We are still holding on to sense gratification, but by His Divine Grace we seem to be becoming more and more detached!

I was meditating on my life and in something you told me in FMP when I said that SP in SB 1.8.20 in the purport said that the ladies are specially blessed by Krsna, because they believe immediately in the Supremacy of the Lord, that they do not need scientific facts, etc. Then you said "But you have to do something with that blessing". So I realized that I was not doing anything with that blessing, due to my work schedule I can not participate in most of the classes the way I used to do. So I asked Gandharva Prabhu if I can give some lectures for ISKCON CHOSICA and he kindly said yes..

ASA - Nothing can stop a devotee who wants to help preach!

So last Saturday I gave one class it was a verse from canto 3, pretty advanced canto. On Saturday's ladies gives lectures. I feel good, and some male devotees make some interesting questions. I also read SB 1.8.20 I really like that verse tatha paramahamsanam....

TB - katham pasyema hi striyah... !

Regarding to my classes, last week I was working in "Journalistic Products" (I teach English for Journalists) so one topic is "Food Journalism" ( You do not talk just about a recipe, you talk about the story behind it) So I play a youtube video in which a lady devotee was explaining why we offer food to Krsna.. It was top- notch.

BW - So may people are actually looking for Krsna. You probably made five devotees by doing that, no? May not manifest in this life but ... you can look at them from heaven and see how they take birth in ISKCON!

On July 13th, could have been my mother's birthday I offered her flowers and cake, prayers also.

UG - Any news from her???

I am studying also about more gems, and reading about angels in order to apply these on my therapies. People are more familiar with angels, then I have the opportunity to rise their consciousness a little bit.

BW - You can decorate Ulysses with diamonds and rubees.

I work first on me, then on the rest. It is pretty nice.

Thanks Gurudeva for your patience and inspiration

See you in FMP

Trying to be your disciple

HpS - You don't have to take so much work that you can't keep a healty Sadhana. Is may be simple. You may have to adjust left and right, but God gives the right, wants, demands, that you keep basic human religious life. He will pay you.

UG - Post a little sumarry of gem therapy!

We have not been able to answer this letter because of our work shedule and because of our stupidity. Please send again following the protocol at www.JayaRama.US/kd/lte.htm HpS - ASA -0-0-0- No hemos podido responder esta carta por nuestra horario de trabajo y por nuestra estupidez. Por favor envíe nuevamente siguiendo el protocolo en www.JayaRama.US/kd/lte.htm HpS - ASA

Gurudeva me tomo algo de tiempo terminarlo. Su guía es estupenda, recuerdo las anteriores, ellas son como el vino con el paso del tiempo mejoran más y más. Como Ud. desea un banco de preguntas, hice muchas, espero sean de su agrado, lamento que no estén en Ingles. Si mi humilde intento de servirle está bien, hágamelo saber, tal vez puedo mejorarlo, presente dos partes en preguntas cerradas. Y de ser necesario puedo buscar traductor una vez corregido el documento. Igual todo esto me ayuda en mi estudio personal.

Cambiando de tema, estoy en Chosica el lunes se inicia el servicio de pujari, es una forma de reciprocar tanta misericordia, mis autoridades me ayudaron mucho para viajar a India, se los debía. Ayudaré también en la parte educativa, es mi área y no pienso salir de ella. Mis tendencias están muy claras y la pandemia me ayuda mucho y me permite leer y estudiar el sastra en una atmosfera tranquila, como una vida retirada, así me siento feliz. A los 40 años ya sabes lo que tienes que hacer, y nadie salvo Ud. o personas similares a Ud. podrían orientarme. Creo que a los 50 años estaremos como madre Tungavidya. Aun la recuerdo. La mujer de corazón blanco.

Mis compañeros de Sakti se resintieron mucho conmigo por dejarlos, pero mi compromiso es con Ud., Prabhupada e ISKCON, por encima de todos. El tiempo corre y lo aprovechamos lo mejor que podemos. Así podemos recordar Vrndavan, algunos devotos me cuentan que finalmente llegó les llego la pandemia, Vrndavan es zona roja, es triste para ellos estar por allá sin poder visitar los lujares sagrados. Lo maravilloso del Karuna virus, es que on line, tenemos clases con diversos devotos avanzados, full mercy, sólo así podemos tener buena asociación. Ahora ya no tengo que preocuparme por el dinero es un alivio, por lo menos por un tiempo. Sospecho cual es el plan de Krsna conmigo, lo que sí sé, es que siempre lo estaré sirviendo, lo mejor que pueda con las cualidades que Krsna me ha dado. Por favor bendígame para poder complacerlo.

Que el Sr. Nrsimha lo proteja hoy y siempre! Radhe Radheee!!!!

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

I would like to offer my translation service for your saturday morning lectures. Please kindly accept it. Although You don't need such a service, I would be the most benefited from it.

Thank you Gurudev, for making so much struggle to preach to us!! It melts our stone like heart, to see such an Endeavor in the service to Srila Prabhupada.

Your quarentined miscreant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - ASA - Esteemed Quarantined Miscreant,

Paoho & Bw! AgtSP!!! Thank you for your offer, but it seems our Spanish is good enough that it can be pretty well understood. When we translate there is a delay by the internet and the ideas flow differently, so we were thinking of doing either Saturday or Sunday Spanish or English. Eg. if Saturday is Spanish then Sunday will be English and vice-a-versa? O.K.? Of course Upendra Das presentation on Saturday would need translation.

Any mystical experience at New Govardhana?

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias a Srila Prabhupada y a Usted.

Estuve haciendo planes para poder hacer un Sankirtan viajero, lamentablemente la cuarentena se alargó en algunas ciudades del Perú, incluido Huancayo.

Estamos amablemente tratando de prédicar a los vecinos, cosa que es muy difícil pues tienen costumbres muy cerradas pero almenos siempre les damos algo de prasadhan y ellos corresponden con algo de bhoga (trueque).

HpS - This is a challenge from Krsna, no? How to preach to our neighbors. It is different than with meeting people for a short time. Aim is book distribution but now is different way, no? One book deeply to one person rathe than 50-books quickly to 50-people.

Estamos preparando la tierra para sembrar, abonando, deshierbando, etc.

Luchando con mi asquerosa mente...

También estoy haciendo una pintura para un devoto (una ventana espiritual), usar el arte en la prédica.

HpS - Super. To be an Acharya you must know how to preach with all modes, no?

Seguimos conectandonos en Mangal Artik con usted, 16 rondas de Japa y algo más, 4 principios, lectura Srimad-Bhagavatam, Tulasi la Amada de Krsna, atendiendo a las Deidades, Salagrama Sila y Govardhan Sila, también asistiendo a clases del NOI con Maharaja Yadunandana Swami.

HpS - What is the content of Maharaja's classes?

Bueno Guru me despido, que Nrsimha lo proteja siempre. Hare Krsna.

Gadai Gauranga Dasa.

HPS - ASA - !!!! Do you have animals???
