Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna dear Maharaj! This is Vishvanath, from Chile.

ASA - AGTSP! Paoho.... This Brown from the Boro. You are very kind to write to us... 😐

I hope you're well and healthy.

ASA - Ha! Ha! This body IS a disease!

I´m sending you a report of the activities of our community, which thanks to the mercy of the devotees is growing and expanding.

A month+ ago we started a 2-time-a-week morning Japa program, which has been a beautiful success. Around 20 to 30 people enter at 7am, 80-90% non-devotees.

ASA - "Non-devotees"??! Hey! They must be devotees! Not initiated, like ISKCON, devotees, no? Of course, they could be Demons chanting Japa also. 🙄

It has been tremendously inspiring to see non-devotees fully committed to their practice, inspired and inspiring other people as well. Next week Nicole (whom I saw wrote you days ago :D) will start with an extra day, so we will have japa program 3 days per week. Nicole is helping a lot with the program, BTW.

In 2 weeks I'll start with open BG class in the evening, 1 per week. Many people are very interested, again, mostly non-devotees. Beside that, we held sporadic online talks about Bhakti and Yogic philosophy.

The internal Dhatri community is having 2 sanga-meeting each week, now studying the Nectar of devotion and organizing the programs for next months.

ASA - You use Danurdhara Swami's notes???? Helps SO much!!

Mahatma Prabhu is helping us a lot with his advices and inspiration. He has already given 2 classes to the internal community, and will give one to the open community in 1 week ahead.

Also, we are part now of Krishna West in the southern cone, so we are happy to get the support of a bigger community.

As for myself, I'm studying a full 1 year course on Sanskrit with Antonia Ruppel, who wrote "the Cambridge introduction to Sanskrit". It has been very heavy learning (as the course is in English, so I have to translate both from sanskrit and English!), but we are advancing pretty well. After the course we are supposed to read directly from Devanagari, understanding most of the grammatical complexities of it, and also to write in proper Sanskrit. I'm also giving many classes on Yoga and Ayurveda, with around 6-7 simultaneous courses.

Sorry for the long text. next ones will be shorter!

We hope to have your blessings in our programs, and maybe to have you giving a lecture in the near future :)

We have tried to answer all the letters we have received, but with travel, intense Sankirtan responsibilities and weakness of character we have not been able. So please write to us again at the Blog, www.monkeywarrior.com, but be very, very careful to follow the etiquetta explained in: http://jayarama.us/kd/lte.htm

Hemos tratado de responder todas las cartas que hemos recibido, pero con los viajes, las intensas responsabilidades de Sankirtan y la debilidad de carácter no hemos podido. Entonces, escríbanos nuevamente en el Blog, www.monkeywarrior.com, pero tenga mucho cuidado de seguir la etiqueta explicada en: http://jayarama.us/kd/lte.htm

Hare Krsna, beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO.

I hope this meets you in very good health,

HpS - Eyes going. Not too many more letters!

Gurudeva, since your answer regarding Gaura Nitai re-painting again, Mathuresh dasa wrote to us, and agreed that I take that service again. He requested us to present a budget and to reunite the group that worked the first time. Due to this quarantine state, it is very difficult to do the budget, have stores open that are operating normally and so forth. Nevertheless, we are doing the effort. Isvari dd is helping us a lot.

I am very overjoyed that Gaura Nitai gave us to mercy to serve them again. Obviously, this was possible due to your blessings. In the first part of the work They are going to be at my home, we have to remove the painting and then They are going to be left in wooden and finally the artists are going to paint them.

Tulasi Kunja dd (JPS)

Please do you have any further advices or recommendations?

Thanks again Gurudeva

Trying to be your disciple

HpS - ASA --- Be ready for ANYTHING now you are dealing with Krsna!!

Gauranga, Hanumat Preshak Swami.

Reverencias y gloriasa Srila Prabhupada!.

Here in ISKCON Santiago Chile🇨🇱 We have gone from Carona lockdown to Maha Carona lockdown.

Vasudeva Datta Prabhu was not feeling well so he went to the hospital. There he caught Carona and brought her back to the Temple. Bhakta Sebastian did not have a good reaction with Carona and now he and Vasudeva Datta Prabhu are in the hospital.

The medicos cuarentenada the temple and we cannot leave for anything. Before this development the temple was functioning on some level with morning programs a bakery and book distribution on line.

Your discipulo Piyari Mohan Prabhu is shining throughout the crisis. Piyari Mohan attends the full morning program and with the absence of Vasudeva Datta Prabhu, has been responsible for everything.

It reminds me of the old days when all the devotees were in their early twenties. The American army sends lieutenants straight out of officers training school, to become platoon leaders in a war zone. This forces them to grow up quickly.

We are taking the situation one day at a time with nothing sure in the future. Our little group of 4 men and 2 ladies do lots of Hare Krishna Kirtan and prayers.

Sus, Mishra Bhagavan Dasa

HpS - Thank you M. Bhagavan Das.

Were you expecting this when you went to Chile??? The Pandavas were in exile for 14-years, but not a moment was wasted. Duryodhana told his father, 'At night, when I try to sleep, I can feel them close to me, alone in the forest, cold, lying on the ground, to sleep, always becoming stronger, stronger!"
