Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurudeva! Pamho! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Divya Drsti Mataji asked me to send you this letter :

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja

Please, receive my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Gurudeva, I send you this letter to inform you that the first puppets presentation will be in one month, the 12 november, I'll send you a vídeo before, so you can see It and make a feedback.

HpS - ASA -- !

We will make as well a presentation for 20 December as a gift for Christmas for Gopalito, cowboys and all children.

ASA -- ! ! !

The last month I've took a course on puppets with an Argentinian teacher and classmates from many countries online.

ASA - Su, su, super! First there was Shreck and now there is Divya-drsti Devi Dasi.

I'm planning to get knowledge constantly on this subject of puppets, getting online courses for instance.

HpS - Please share the educational resources here!

Now I'm doing book distribution 3 times per week, the book "El cazador y el Sabio" in Quechua and Spanish is sold very well because Cusco city is the land of Quechua.

I'm living 50% of the time on the sacred Valley of Cusco and 50% in Cusco city.

I'm opening soon a store with the help of my family in the Sacred Valley to sell Srila Prabhupada books and some prasadam in a small house that my father is facilitating to me.

I'm still fighting with health problems and depressions, althought I think while I continue with the preaching throught art It will be heal because it's my dharma.

HpS - Depression is usually fatigue, no? We want to do so many things, but we have fatigue and then that creates mental self criticism... Maybe you will die of fatigue this year.

Jaya!

What will your next body be? Yet, every liberated soul has more power than all the Indras in all the material worlds combined! Solution. Become liberated. Engage in chanting constantly. If you can breath you can chant, no?

Hare Krsna... Hare Krsna!!!

Envoyez-nous des nouvelles de la nouvelle Super Woman!

Please, Gurudeva if you have any suggestios for me...I listen.

Please, I have a question: How can I develop preaching throught art in a way that It heals my health problems and the constant depressions that I have?

How can I change these samskaras in me and have a new starting of life?

My greatest dream is to preach and can be an inspiration for children, young people and women with the time, when I'll learn well of the puppets I want to teach and leave my offering like that.

Thank you very much.

Your servant :

Divya Dristi D D

HpS - ASA -- You seem to be in an auspicious path. Just try to travel faster, no changing to other path. Your store can sponsor events eg. cooking lessons. Sacred music retreats. Puppet workshops. Psycho dramas.

Hare Krisna Gurudev: Pamho.

Gloria a Prabhupada y los vaisnavas reunidos.

Quiero informarle que el disco de Flamenco Hare Krishna que grabamos hace mas de veinte años lo hemos masterizado y puesto en las plataformas musicales de internet. He pensado que se puede aprovechar algo del trabajo que hicimos hace tiempo.

Hoy he descubierto que algunas personas ya han utilizado algunas canciones para exponer fotografias o las han utilizadop de otra forma. Asi que pongo los mantras para el placer de los vaisnavas y la gente en general que gusten de esas ragas.

En youtube se pueden oir gratis y en otras plataformas hay que estar suscrito o pagar algo. La música está disponible para la predica y, como están haciendo algunas personas, puede ser utilizada cuando sea conveniente para hacer video, power point, diapositivas o lo que sea que pueda contribuir a aumentar la gloria de Srila Prabhupada.

Este es el enlace para poder oirlo.

HpS - 😃

😃 😃

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis humildes reverencias.

Sigo acá en Huancayo, éste último mes y medio fue bastante agotador, sembramos acá en todo el terreno (verduras, papá, calabazas, etc).

HpS - Krsna y Radharani y todos los muchachos va a tener muy buen merriendas.

Vino mi padre acá a Huancayo, estuvimos ayudandole en sus tramites sobre unos terrenos, casi hubo un juicio, pero no hubo, se perdieron 2 terrenos y se recupero 1 (Mucho conflicto) todo esto ocurre por que mi familia dejo muchos años abandonados sus terrenos.

Bueno, por otro lado sigo con el Sadhana 4 am, sigo los principios regulativos, 16 rondas de Japa, Gayatris, lectura de los libros "Bhagavad-Gita" Cap.2 Texto 55. Voy a volver a leer el Nectar de la Devoción y el Caitanya Caritamrta.

ASA - Bien, bien, bien.... MY BIEN!!!

Estoy en comunicación con algunos devotos Sankirtaneros para organizar y ver la distribución de libros en Perú y comenzar un plan de Sankirtana.

Por este Virus hemos estado bloqueados, pero es por algo. El plan de Krsna siempre es bueno.

6 meses de Sankirtan viajero por Perú y otros lugares y los otros 6 meses de Sankirtan local en Huancayo como base. Prédica local teniendo como base la vida en el campo (siembra, viveros, biohuertos, ecología). Vida simple y pensamiento elevado.

También más adelante en un futuro tengo el plan de comprar una camioneta 4x4 para el Sankirtan viajero, es mi deseo, ojalá se cumpla.

Básicamente ese seria el plan que manejo. Espero funcione si Srila Prabhupada y Sri Nityananda y Sri Caitanya lo permiten.

Por otro lado nuestra salud esta bien, por el momento.

Bueno Guru Maharaja me despido, que Nrsimha lo proteja y cuide de su salud.

Hare Krsna.

Gadai Gauranga Dasa

HpS - Tan muchos anyos de viaje amplio, pero abusandolo, y Krsna sacando eso y enforzandonos vivir mas simple en un pueblo, mantener propio sanidad local? Va a ser Alcalde de su region? Introducir Gaura kripa en todos las escuelas Kinder - 12?

Hare Krishna Gurudeva 🙏, please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Gurudeva, I hope you are very well at the time of receiving this letter.

HpS - Aaaaah! I know that you are NOT very well at receiving this answer. 😁 This body is a disease. We are like wounded soldiers trying to contribute with only 75% capacity (at best), but I think you must be an incarnation of Kunti devi and radiating spiritual potency.

I write to you by the request of some godbrothers. Some of them have expressed their desire to lead kirtan on "Full Morning Program" on line, and they have proposed to renew the group of leading singers.

HpS - Yes, even the 'Leading Singers' have also expressed that desire. Everyone who leads should please read: http://www.jayarama.us/archives/asa-mangala-arati-fmp.docx. I think even some of the current Leaders have not read it.

The group of devotees that currently are leading have been doing it for about 4 years, I think. (with some little variants). I thought it is a good idea...to make these changes so that more devotees have the opportunity to lead the kirtan on FMP - ASA.

Recently, we have also seen this good initiative from Candramukhi devi dasi : https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11606/

There are some suggestions...like we can make a call for the devotees who wants to participate to join a list, and this list can be renewed every three months.

What is your opinion about it, Gurudeva?? 🙏 Of course, we want to hear from you about how we should do it.

Thank you very much for your constant and merciful association!!

Trying to get your mercy: Mitravinda dd 🐕

HpS - I think that it is fine. We should not change, we should keep the same system and make it stronger. So, why not those who are currently leading just organize others to lead on their day as Candra-mukhi Devi Dasi did? It is nice.

Happy birthday. Hope good reflection about previous year(s). Next year(s). Being nice dancer for Krsna.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj,

The video Gastón Soublette's video was a relevant point of the report, but I separate the link. Excuse me. I suprise myself how fool I am, every time.

HpS - Yes, I do the same thing. At least we cannot claim that we are getting newer and newer realizations in Krsna Consciousness (at how great of a fool we are).

Now is good:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N27LAd906yM

https://youtu.be/N27LAd906yM

HpS/ASA - We pasted it and the video started. We will watch it later. Now we have to do some more mail. Trim the hedges and go to NgD!! Thank you.

Is a 15 min. interview extract to Gastón Soublette, a Claudia Lira's mentor and one of the 8 or 10 most famous and important intellectuals of Chile nowadays (93 years old and still alive! and with a clear mind)

The interview is in Spanish, however, it has subtitles, and the feature of automatic translation of youtube/google have improved a lot recently, particulary to this kind of videos with a good Spanish spoken.

Mr. Soublette was in the release of Claudia Lira's book and I broached him in the last summer (January-Februay), and when I told him about you and your efforts and that maybe you both can talk, he gave me his phone. He would like to know more about a spiritual guru, swami with a western background.

HpS - We should have an exchange of ideas by mail, first, no?

He lives slightly as a hermit, so for communication, he has just cable-phone, and no smartphone and internet either, so an encounter could be possible in your next physical visit. Or maybe we can try by phone after the event.

HpS - Can you send paper-mail to him?

Hare Krishna guru maharaj. Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes we feel that never will be good enough, but still we are little "porfiados", obstinate- and we continue trying to be better.

HpS - Thank you.... Thank Carlos, thank Arjuna, than Priya sakhi Devi Dasi, thankkk... I can name so many more in Chile, Santiago, even more important. It makes us start to cry. Such nice people!!.

Hope we have our own village soon.

.Hare Krishna.

Dear Guru Maharaja, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, Please accept my humble obeisances unto you,

The event will start tomorrow 7th October Wednesday.

Your understanding is very well Gurudev. Indeed, your participation in this PUC (´P` because "Pontificia", of the Pope) event called "Coloquio Internacional de Naturaleza y Sacralidad" (International Colloquium on Nature and Sacred) Program is 21st October - 19:45 hrs. Chilean Time ( www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/chile/santiago is a useful and bonafide webpage to convert the time ).

Tom Brown - ASA -- Well, actually, it is not correct. We have 6.45PM Nashville time on our Calendar. Which is 18.45 Nashville, which is 20.45 Santiago. Bllllllsfftttttp! 😬

.... So it is 5.45PM - 6.05PM Nashville time. 🙂

The time frame is just 20 minutes (TED Talk-style - sāndra-ātmā — "whose nature is very condensed")

The content of the HPS presentation

I didn't get that you were asking me about your proposal. I think that the idea is very accurate to the public who will attend.

In fact, the BG is known already by this audience so, hear this technical approach from the BG, is very authoritative and advanced way to start for a swami who will speak about this book.

The quotations from Srimad Bhagavatam are perfect because are a good example of how this Bhagavata culture see the ideal situation of the world and how it was, actually.

In one moment I thought is not too much but then I realized that the time frame is a very short, so now, on contrary, I think that is a very focused message and that's good.

Humble suggestions

In my humble opinion, a wink [nod] or a little reference to some of the points in common between Bhagavata culture and Mapuche culture and perspective - or at least, Inca culture- about "nature and the sacred" would be unexpected but very well received if you make it.

TB - The first problem is that we have no firm idea whatsoever about Mapuche culture! What is it? Do they worship The Great One who Eats Dried Banana-chips on Ekadasi? Why is it important to the audience? Are they Mapuche? Or are they afraid of Maphuche??? Help!

For that, I recommended already check this extract of the interview to the researcher and our friend's mentor, Gastón Soublette speaking about the deep values of the mapuche culture.

TB - Awww!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N27LAd9 06yM

TB - Awk! GrONk... BlooK .,., & Black! The link does not work! 😭

Tried it five times. Just defaults to general Youtube.com and President Trump kissing..... babies... Searched "Gastón Soublette" and got over a dozen interviews of a very wise old man with a very large white beard! Same for you? Please send us the correct link!

Other way to get some insights is the presentations of the TABLE 2 - entitled "NATURALEZA Y SACRALIDAD: TRADICIONES INDÍGENAS" - 14 th October, 17:30 hrs.

TB - Seems too late for the dull brains of Brother Ass etc. and probably some funny foreign language, and probably not focused enough for our efforts. We're pretty stoopid here.

The three presentations of that day will be in Spanish, but Carlos Rold is ready to make a good three summaries of each for you, to facilitate you can get some good insights to quote or re-think something to relate to your own presentation.

TB - O.K. Very good Not more than 2,000 words and then we can ask questions! We will sound very intelligent!!

Again, this is not requested at all, I just think that could be something very unexpected and it let a "buena sensación" about vaisnava wisdom and our desire to build stronger bridges.

TB - Really, our desire to participate in these programs is first to listen and THEN to speak!!! God is too big for one religion, society, planet!

On the other hand, to mention about vegetarianism it could add useful new ideas to whose people who ignore that the concept of animals rights actually is coming from India historically, and that perspective is.

TB - I think it is indicated in the description of Yudhisthira Raja! We will look for it.

Finally, dear guru maharaja, remember our proposal to design your final presentation. 2 DAYS before the event is enough for us because they requested one day before the day.

Maybe three days before, 18th October, if you are interested in to show the "premiere" to the ASA crew.

TB - By 15th October. Maybe we make it our presentation for Sunday with ISKCON Alto Peru. https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11650/

Book Distribution

Regarding your question, I think that Light of the Bhagavata is not available physically, I mean, I have some but just a few physical, 3 or 4 I think.

BBT Spanish Books are not yet for Amazon Kindle officially. Only Bhagavad Gita.

Science of Self Realization or the Spanish BBT book "Ecología y Supervivencia" 80 pages I think it would be good. The SSR is already in vedabase.com in spanish.

But one way that I think that would be interesting is put a link (with bit.ly tech to know then how many people enter in it in the moment, and afterwards) where the people could download an extract (for example SB 1.10-4-6) in pdf/epub formats or event the entire Light of Bhagavata or Science of Self Realization in spanish (in a unoficcial way, I can prepare it). What do you think about it?

TB - The vedabase.io link to BG 7.4 and SB 1.10.4+ could be included. They can can communicate with you all, no? Then you can filter the interest and we can expand our citations and send books accordingly? We could also include a bibliography, "further reading'!

Anyway, I think that we should focus in just one or two book.

TB - 💪

Good leader of many Apes!

The event opening tomorrow 7th October

Finally, the Opening Event is tomorrow 17:00 hrs. Chilean Time, and our friends and organizers, Claudia Lira and Elvira Ríos, will present the aims of this event, so, it would be very nice if you can join. This will be a few minutes anyway. So, if you can join, the "coordinates" are here but also everyone can join registering themselves here:

Any question, please Gurudev just ask I'm your servant.

TB - We just asked HpS, and he asked Gurudeva, and HpS said that as far as he can understand Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada, asks that you be a good boy and chant "Hare Krsna". Nice service!! AGTSP!

Personally we want to say that is nice working with you, and we can see that we ALL have a lot more work to do to be super professional devotees but... https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/9/10/20/ !
