Letters to the editor

Querido Gurudev: Pamho. Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que se encuentre bien de salud cuando reciba este mensaje.

HpS - Tengo esta enfermidad fuerte, mortal, se llama un cuerpo material!! <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />  Luchando con los ojos, respiracion, y ya los rodillas...   etc.  y Vd?

Nosotros por aquí seguimos luchando para que la energia ilusoria no nos absorba con su gran influencia.

HpS - Foto abajo de Ella.

Seguimos con los programas en casa de los viernes por la tarde y tambien estamos tratando de cantar el mantra sin ofensas (no es fácil). Echamos de menos su asociación y esperamos su proxima visita (El año que viene ?)

HpS - Y Y Y Esperamos ser involucrado mas con ASA - NIOS - MOE (Ministry of Education) como desarrollaaaa.

Bueno la urgencia de esta carta es que quería compartir con todos los devotos la noticia de que el diario "El Mundo" en su versión digital (lider en España) ha publicado un reportaje sobre Hare Krisna muy profesional y muy de nuestro agrado.

HpS - Piensa necesita en Chile en esta momento!!

Es el mejor reportaje (aunque sólo son 6 minutos) que nos han hecho en cuarenta años. El video lo colgaron ayer por la tarde (hora española ) y ya lleva mas de 4000 visualizaciones. Espero que todos los devotos de habla española puedan disfrutarlo.

Gracias por su generosidad y paciencia con todos nosotros.

HpS - ASA ---  Super!   SUPER!   S U P E R!!

10,000 gracias!   Mas!    Mas!!!

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glory to Srila Prabhupada and your preaching in his mission.

We have started Bhakti Vriksha programs here at Texas A&M University and I have observed that many students are interested in our Krishna consciousness philosophy and Srila Prabhupada’s teachings. We are reading Prabhupada’s books, chanting Hare Krsna, and distributing Prasadam. There is a good association of students interested to continue our university student club and develop an ISKCON center here and we have the facility and expertise to prepare Bhoga, offer to the Lord, and distribute Prasadam. We hope to continue this mission of service and we pray and hope to start an ISKCON preaching center here in the city of Corpus Christi.

I hope to connect with devotees in Houston and San Antonio so that they can come down here and give lectures and presentations to the students here so that we can further establish a preaching center here in Corpus Christi. We hope one day in the future we could be blessed to ever have your Holiness come bless us with your holy association in the city of Corpus Christi.

I have attached pictures of our previous program for Radhastami and for Janmastami.

Your aspiring servant,

Aja Govinda Dasa 

HpS - Jaya!!     We will be in Houston for Thanksgiving.  You can see the dates in the KDh.   Go deeper each day.   Deeper.   Deeper.   Become an esoteric associate of Srila Rupa Gosvami by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and deliver this 16th century Bengali Vaisnavism to the world.   What is the heritage of Texas?

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glory to Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON and NIOS.

I wanted to share with you pictures of our Janmastami and Radhastami Bhakti-Vriksha home preaching programs. We have been meeting up with my university Texas A&M University students where I am a professor and reading Srila Prabhupada’s books in regular home programs, singing Kirtan, offering Bhoga to the Lord, offering aarti to the Lord, and distributing the Prasadam.

Aspiring to be of some service in the mission of the Lord’s service.

Your Aspiring Servant,

Aja Govinda dasa

HpS - ASA -- Super. Lord Caitanya said that he puts the dust from the feet of anyone who can offer (such) nice Bhoga to Krsna, life after life.   Are you learning to cook!   Entering Grhastha Ashrama you can do wonderful Sankirtan  (or die and go to Goloka (both options are good))....   Next letter.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glory to Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON and NIOS.

I saw your beautiful presentation and I hope one day I can also organize a presentation of yours and Nitai Gaurasundara Prabhuji at Texas A&M University. Your presentations always have such amazing insights and keen and deep reflections on psychology especially Carl Jung and inspirational comparison with the Bhagavata models of psychology. Prabhuji is an established academic in psychology. I fondly remember visiting their wonderful Krishna conscious house in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where there was an interfaith dialogue meeting hosted in their large green grassy backyard near a pond.

All praise to Sugopi for organizing this great program at BSU. Keep up the nice academic preaching work in BSU. What is she studying and planning to graduate in at BSU?

YAS,

Aja Govinda Das

HpS  -   In some respect I think she is studying moder American university culture. I think she graduates in three years and now I think she is still trying things. History is a good subject!!  Next letter.

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you receive this letter in good health and spirit.

HpS -- Just to hear from you is enlivening, but health in this world is the best use of a bad bargain for an Angel like us.

It's been around two months since my last letter went unanswered, and thanks to the guidance of Paramatma, some of the issues connected to the letter have been cleared up during readings of books from our Srila Prabhupada, Satsvarupa das Goswami and Vaiyasaki prabhu. It is the freedom of the spiritual master to deal with his disciple in the way that he pleases. Thank you very much.

HpS - But you can see that we are traveling and so much pressure with meeting devotees. For example we went to Europe and saw a lot students there and you can put URGENT in the Subject Field and we answer! <img alt="devil" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/devil_smile.png" title="devil" width="23" />

In His mercy, Krishna has shown me a place to organize a kirtan event. It is a sattvic place near Haarlem close to where we live. Krishna has guided me to do this, and i am surrendered to Him in this regard. This is very kind of Him, and i am practicing to have faith in that Krishna will help me with my situation once i start working for Him again.

HpS - He does!   He does!

I am to some extent aware of my foolishness and audacity to place before you some statements that i've sent earlier, and it surely shows my lack of surrender or otherwise mature understanding of guru - disciple etiquette. It seems i must learn by making such mistakes, and i ask forgiveness for any offenses i have made.

HpS - ASA --  Monkey and Piggy forgive you (Foto (3)) below.  Also please forgive us!

I am pushing to come up to 16 rounds standard but must admit my lack of strenght in this regard. I am not sure yet what's behind it all, but i'm working on it. It could be connected to the tidal wave of maya in the shape of strong sexual desire, that i hope to learn to tolerate for what it is; pushing of the guna's.

To end on a positive note, it has brought me great transcendental happiness to have seen you and our Godbrother Radhika Ramana prabhu in Krishna Ksetra Swami's project of documenting the Srimad Bhagavatam. Looking forward to more of that.

Your faltering aspiring servant,
Raghava Pandita dasa.

HpS - Jaya!!!!   How is the family, Yatra, work?????   Make a vow of Japa eg. 11-rounds daily until the next Ekadasi, that you know you can do and DO IT.   You will make progress by this process.

Nitay Goura Premanande!!! querido y siempre recordado Gurudev,

por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

HpS - ASA - Y accepta nosotros 8-veces mas!

TODAS LAS GLORIAS , AL REDENTOR DEL MUNDO SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!

                                                          siguiendo sus instrucciones para quedarme en Perú, toda la temporada pasada estuve haciendo muchos arreglos, para acondionar de manera favorable el sustento y, cuidado de mi anciano padre, quien ademas del glaucoma tiene principio de alzheimer... gracias a KRISHNA consegui un trabajo de niñera de lunes a sabado, el sueldo me alcanza para cubrir los gastos de alquiler y mantención, todavia estoy dejando pendiente unas deudas que pronto Krishna mediante las iré pagando... muy feliz porque todos los dias hago Sankirtam aprovechando el traslado en bus a mi trabajo, es como el oxigeno que me mantiene viva!!!

HpS - SUPER!!

... con mi padre asisto a algunos programas en el centro NamaHata "Tulasi" y Harinam ... todos los dias cantamos una ronda de Japa juntos y leemos el Bhagavad Gita.... Prasadam, resultado mi Padre está contento, Krishna es SUPREMAMENTE MISERICORDIOSO!!, ...viajé a Mexico por 2 semanas para traer mis cosas y articulos de belleza para vender, que dejé guardado.... ... acabo de enterarme que ud. está en Lima "bienvenido, muchas gracias por darnos su Santa Asociación"  voy a hacer todos los arreglos para tener la fortuna de verlo.....

HpS - Si, Si, Si!!!!    Estamos en Callao con todos hast Viernes. Vamos a Arrequipa para fin de semana. Reverncias a su Padre!

...por su infinita misericordia querido Gurudev, cada dia puedo darme cuenta del poder de Prabhupada, como él continúa haciendo milagros,...... un pasatiempo:   " en un bus terminé de hablar y un Señor en voz alta dijo;  hace tiempo yo conocí a uno de uds. era un jóven muy educado pero, murió de Anemia por ser vegetariano,.... en ese momento una Señora gorda dijo: eso es falso yo también hace un tiempo conocí a los HARE KRISHNA, estaba desahucida tenia cancer pero, me hice vegetariana y cantando el MahaMantra me curé, y, hasta subí de peso" .... entre risas algunos pasajeros se animaron a comprar mas libros".... muchas gracias PRABHUPADA porque siempre vivirás en tus Libros, dia a dia cambiando la vida de tantas almas, tranformando sus miserables vidas en milagros como ocurrió conmigo.....querido Gurudev, sólo puedo orar a sus divinos pies de Loto que no me retire su compasiva misericodia de ocuparme en éste glorioso servicio de SANKIRTAM..... eternamente agradecida

                                                                                               Radhe, Radhe, Radhe, Radhe......

su inútil y torpe sirvienta

m. jambavati d.d.

HpS - Estuvimos hablando de el libro audio de su vida ayer y bastante veces.  Sankirtan, Sankirtan, Sankirtan.    Si, necesitamos comentario de la demas para defendernos de los criticos demoniacos, pero tambien oir de los criticos para mejorar. Es deficil morir de hambre con Pizza de queso, Sopa de frijoles y Ensalada de verduras frescas cocinados para Krsna!!    Nos vemos pronto.
