Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

We had an intense month, we received at Sri Govardhan from october 29th to december 5th, HH Mahavisnu Swami with Harinam Ruci, HH Bhakti Gauravani Goswami, HG Srila Virabahu Prabhu and HH Dhanvantari Maharaja. So living here is much much better than living in Disneyland, but more challenging also!! Everybody appreciated our project so much!! Benedictions!!

Mahajana Prabhu moved to Spain with his family and left us and other devotee, Ekachakra Prabhu, the responsibility to lead the Yatra, with its two projects, EL Loft in the city and Sri Govardhan, our rural community. And also the National Board was renewed and Nanda Raj Prabhu and myself were selected to be part of it.

ASA - Jaya! We are little ants, but Krsna can give us STRENGTH.

We take this service seriously and with a little fear. Knowing that it could be dangerous for our spiritual life.

We had like six hours of meetings with HG Virabahu Prabhu. Very enlightening!! He told us his whole story as a GBC.

I remember when you quote SP " If you follow 4 principles and chant 16 good rounds, administration will be at the tip of your finger" Also i read Prithu Maharaja´s story in 4th canto of SB.

Besides we presented a project at the university to link food for life with med school. A very nice opportunity to preach. With Julieta my wife, we cooked for 30 professors at a meeting. Everybody appreciated the glories of Prasadam.

HpS - Hospital food was the worst I ever experienced in the world!! Save the doctors!

And then we preach to our patients, we distribute like 10 books per month.

So this is what is more natural to us.

Any advice?

HpS - Let us read the last letter.

Thank you Dear Gurudeva!!

at your lotus feet,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

We are studying Bhakti Sastri with a few devotees from argentina, we gather online on sunday morning. Very nice disscusions. We use your study guides, generously ceded By HG Laksman Agraja Prabhu.

Also we are organizing lectures at Sri Govardhan. Now we are reading third canto, chapter 5, Vidura´s talks with Maitreya during the week, and on Sunday CC, we are on Adi, chapter 2. On January we want to start on saturday mornings a Pada Padma study using your study guides.

We want to take seriously the study of SP books.

I saw pictures of your book Twirl your beads, we will try to get it from Abhiram Thakur Prabhu (if Prabhuji reads this letter i bow down to his feet for such a great service he has done and is doing to push this Art and the Sacred program, hope we can gather a team to present this program in Argentina also). Congratulations to Srinath Krishna and Radhika Raman Prabhus for editing this nice book.

I have the idea of one day publish as a book your DTCs, they are so so great, a combination of wisdom and art, is like your japa drawing!! Do you think is a good idea?

HpS - I don't know???? Of course, always illuminating Srila Prabhupada's books and the Kirtan he recommends.

If we read then BG 10.8-11 we will get intelligence how to move ahead. Each step is eternal!!

So much things we can do, but better to chant good rounds!!

So much wisdom, and adventures pouring down from the Parampara!!

Thank you so much Gurudeva!!

At your Lotus feet,

Your silly student,

Nikunja Bihari das.

ASA - :Lettuce Feet: AGTSP!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Gurudeva, I want to tell you that this year I am participating in the December book distribution marathon here in Lima. Before it starts I was doubtful to participate because of my health condition, but internally I always have had a litlle, little, little desire to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books again, so I decided to go to Wilson Temple to buy books, this was on the first day of the marathon (Nov. 30). After getting the books, I was thinking it was late to get on the buses to distribute so I had an idea: to go to visit my aunt at her job so she could buy from me some books (my aunt works for the government in a building four blocks from Wilson temple), I got at her job and asked her to sell some books to his co-workers and she agreed, I gave her a few books and she told me: give me more! give me more books! so I gave her 24 small books, and she told me confidently: "I am going to sell all the books", and she did it ! She distributed 24 books in a matter of minutes!

ASA - My, God!!!

Actually she is the boss there...in her office and also has a good relationship with her co-workers 😃

. I became very happy and amazed how the mercy of Gaura Nitai can be given in so many unthinkable ways. 😃

This event gave me more enthusiasm and confidence to go out and distribute books, I felt that Goura Nitai want me to go out on sankirtana and they were encouraging me in this way.

Gurudeva, now I am trying to distribute books on buses, because in this way I feel more confidence and confortable (more in terms of my mind), I already have some experience doing buses here in Lima and also feel this Sankirtana modality fits my nature: get in and get off the buses, get in - get off, walk, I feel that I am also working with my body like a sudra, I like to be in movement because I am a sudra and have this passion. Of course, I do not have so much energy, so I am doing sankirtana for two or three hours per day.

ASA - !!! https://thanley.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/legoww.jpg

For the time being I am going out "alone", I have not found a sankirtana partner yet...as you recommended me.

ASA - Pray you get one, two, many, soon. Develop more and more ways to distribute books. Make book distributors.

Gurudeva, very honestly...I do not have much determination, not much sincerity to do this service, so please help me! to do something useful, please, give me your blessings to be able to continue going out on sankirtana, I have a "little" desire, but sometimes it seems that is not enough.

Thank you so much for your causeless mercy upon me !!!!!!

and please...forgive my offenses!!!

Your foolish disciple :

Mitravinda d.d

HpS - Read the books. Read one sentence from the KRSNA book. Translate a chapter by www.translate.google.com and print it. Read it. Swim in it. The magic will not be done by you, nor me, nor any living being. The magic will be done by Krsna, when we become pure devotees of Krsna. It is not important the size of the dog in the fight. It is important the size of the fight in the dog. Get your rascal family, Oscar Natars, Anna to help, give ideas. Sell purports. Sell ideas.

Haré krsna Gurudev por favor acepte mis reverencias . Después de estar tres meses en sillón Zúrich regresamos a vrindavan en kartik todo increíble psrikrams , kirtans todo super inspirador ahora estamos realizando dandavat parikram en Govardhan como parte de una promesa de haber llegado al dham . Después de casi un año de muchas realizaciones y purificación el 5 de diciembre nos regresamos a paraguay a intentar compartir los Santos nombres y el pasadam con todos . Su eterno sirviente Rohini kumar das

HpS - TLGASP. Bien interesante. Aparece a nosotros solamente una persona favoricido por Krsna puede viajar y experimentar las cosas que describa!

Y Y Y las Kirtan de Srila Prabhupada en sus libros. Esta entrando mas y mas furiosamente en ellos tambien? Toda la demas que describa arriba puede ser el mejor sendero par Vd y otros entrar en ellos.

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept our obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

We are just in our way back to Mexico from almost two months in India and Holy places, with and exhausted body, but lots of beautiful moments in our hearts.

We had a very positive result with the more than 30 people who came with us in tour to Rishikesh, Jaipur and Vrindavan (and surroundings). They enthusiastically engaged in chanting Hare Krishna and were very eager to learn about the pastimes of the Lord specially in Vrindavan. One of the girls in the group just had an amazing realization. While driving she got into an accident where a big truck hook her car over 100meters and the only thing she could think of was the mantra we chanted every day on the bus, HK mahamantra! 

We are just trying to follow your constant instruction of chanting enthusiastically, but seen so many demonstrations of love for Radha & Krishna I can say I don’t have real love for the Names. On Srila Raghunatha Das Goswami disappearance day we visit Radha kunda, and while offering pranams to Syamakunda we observed an old man, cleaning the kund, fighting agains the difficulties of his body but happily doing his service. We just try to appreciate/Thank his service telling him ‘Radhe Radhe’ as is common in Vraja, He responded ‘Radhe Radhe’ with chocking voice and started to cry. How much love this devotees have for their beloveds Names, that just by pronouncing tears start to flow. I don’t have Love for the names.

My mother and sister also have the opportunity to come this karthik to India. We Travel to visit Madan Mohan en Karouli, Govindadevaji & Gopinath in Jaipur were all the devotees melodious bhajans glorifying the Lord doesn’t requiere musical instruments, just once voice. My little 16 years old sister got Iniciation Vraja Mandala Parikrama camp by Lokanat Maharaj. Maharaja was very kind to us and inquiere when we will do Vrajamandala Parikrama. Also happily remember when you used to do parikrama with them.

Gurumaharaja, this time my visit to Vrindavan was very hard, I tried to have as much association as possible, and try to stop the mind from crazy thoughts but I feel like I failed. I feel like I don’t have a service in Srila Prabhupada’s army while im coming here to enjoy the devotional ambience. Our only service was to assist Asita Maharaja in Bhaktivedanta Ashram ISKCON Govardhan for the abhiseka and prasadam distribution on Govardhan Puja.  In general I had many troubles with the pollution and the crowded that turns during festivals.

Next year I will not be able to visit Vraja because im starting post graduate studies. As you suggested I will do something practical (Graduate certification on Pharma regulation), enough to have a ok job.

Gurudeva, please forgive my dullness and inertia to contribute to Srila Prabhupada movement and flickering on my services 

I attached some pictures

PD> I also attached the link of Giriraj retreats Booklet that I should have share in this forum before.

Do you have any plans to go any time to China? we distribute one book to one nice lady who couldnt read but felt very atracted by the pictures. we were talking to Kelly (from Houston) about that possibility.

Thanks for you mercy

And Hoping to see you soon for Vyasa puja in Houston or Mexico

(seems like we always differed in Houston for few days)

Govinda Pramodini Dasi  [ & Ranchor Krishna Das]

HpS - AGTSP paoho.  Such nice news.  If know you don't have any attraction to the Holy Names then you must KNOW what attraction is.  You didn't think the old Vrjavasi as a psychotic. You have some realization.   So, just go on taking the medicine and you will see results. Maybe you will see that when you chant with mechanical effort in the morning then all day you feel physically healthy.

Our respects to your esteemed husband, Ranchorji. Yes, we hope to see you in Ciudad Mexico en just about 8-weeks.

Anyone who helps other reach the Holy Dhams is guarnteed a place there themselves, no?

Oh, and your wonderful brother is here!!!

SUPER fotos.
