Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP!

All glories to your sankirtana!

I hope team ASA (Monkey,Piggy, Tom Brown) are very good.

I request you please, Give me your opinion on the following:

I.- Trying to understand and follow the line of subjects that you gaved (about vaisnavis), I think that this topics could be exposed in the next class of tuesday:

1.- Prayers of the Queen Kunti and Pariksit saved. SBG 1 chapter 8

2..-The Son of Drona punished. SBG chapter 7

3.- Teachings of Queen Kunti. (have 26 textos)

These chapters are very extensive and would be divided into several sections.

Is good this topics? or What topics do you think is most appropriate?, please give me your opinion.

HpS - AGTSP these are nice. I think an index of "Stri dharma" in the first two cantos would be a wonderful contribution. Some of Kunti Rani's prayers talk about or show Stri dharma, but others talk about other wonderful topics.

II.-Can english-speaking devotees be included in these rol of themes or will they develop other themes?

HpS - I don't know? Let us see if they respond. It takes time to build a team. Maybe a transcendent team!

THank very much for your mercy, Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you

Whit very affection and gratitude

HpS - ASA ----- Thank you!! Everyone. We hope your daughters are growing up to do wonderful things for society.

Hare Krishna Dearest Devotees,

ISKCON 50 Celebrations at ISKCON Houston bring back some special, nectarian memories.

We had the causeless mercy and good fortune of hosting my beloved Guru Maharaj, H. H. Bhakti Caru Swami, at our humble abode during His stay.

Inconceivably, the mercy kept increasing. This was the first opportunity we had to serve both H. H. Hanumat Presaka Maharaj and my Guru Maharaj, for lunch together ...  a desire fulfilled after fifteen years.

Sept 11 2015…

Sweet reciprocation between two Godbrothers: Bear Hugs… Honoring Prasad ...Sweet conversation... Karate lesson…

Without further ado, I will let the pictures below tell the stories …

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

I hope ASA team are very good.

HpS - ASA - No meat, no fish, no eggs! AgtSP!!!!! paoho....

Please excuse the queries I make, they are technical, however I have no one else to consult.

Uncle Gismo - We shall tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help us God.

Consult[ation]s:

1.-August tuesday 11 is Janmastami and Tuesday 25 is Radhastami , this days classes are for English-speaking devotees. I don't know what topics they will give those days; however only for those days the class could be done with translation (bilingual)?

UG - Sounds fine to us. Any readers have any objection?

2.-Regarding the KDPC keyword I just have to write in the title KDPC or KDPC: keyword?

UG - Just the "keyword' by it self will be enough to draw the attention of our sub-human mail clerks.

Note: I sent a letter to the blog on Monday 20 but with the keyword of the previous fortnight: Govinda-Ji and I did not put KDPC, I thought that the keyword was sufficient, that's why it is my query.

UG - Ah!

3.-You are right there are no educational projects as a priority in GBC administration, according to their page their priority is in the development of temples, teamwork and training of administrative personnel, Maybe this is urgent for them. I think of the different religious orders of the Catholic Church where according to their character and priority to preach in different ways. Some orders are more contemplative, others are more social and others of study and projects like the Jesuits or expansive preaching like the Franciscans. I see here a type of Varna (division of labor). I think perhaps ISKCON could organize itself in this way or take elements of this type of organization. What do you think?

UG - One GBC Secretary, Guru, Sannyasi, nice person, told me that in conclusion it seemed to him that ISKCON was like a lose collection of Guru cults. So there is a lot management technique, focus on education in large Guru zones sometimes, but no effort to develop it in the larger society the same way. I think there is some truth in that. It may be the best we can do now. Personally I try to develop my perspective on eduation in ISKCON and then connect with others as I can. It is a big society and I don't think I can understand all of it!!!

And your good self?

NOte: Before day 30 , I will send my questions about Canto 2 chapter 2. Sorry for the delay, I am organizing to be more effective.

HpS - Ahhhh. Thank you!!!!!!

With appreciation and respect.

Dear Guru Maharaja PAMHO AGTSP! How are you? I guess you are quite exhausted, you have been giving so many lectures, I have enjoyed listening to your awesome classes, very intense and excellent themes to reflect about. During your classes I grasp different ideas that complemented the doubts I had, now things are getting better. I´d like to see you soon, I want this quarentine finish soon, I want to visit the temple and some friends. I been talking to my god-brothers quite often and having better relationships.

We would like to organise some academic preaching programs for you, I have talked to my godsisters about it. I may gather some professors from my college, let´s see what happens later. Ok Gurudeva nothing else to say, getting closer to get more mercy from you.

your servant,

Jagat Bandhu Jagannatha Swami dasa

Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada.

todas las glorias al movimiento de sankirtan de sri Caitanya Maha Prabhu.

Por favor acepté mis mas humildes reverencias.

tengo una duda respecto a un comentaria de la pagína web de ISCKON España queria saber si podria explicarmelo.

El sistema de yoga puede ser comparado a una escalera que puede conducir al nivel más elevado de la vida espiritual. El primer escalón es hatha-yoga, que involucra el realizar numerosas posturas que le capacitan a uno a controlar los sentidos y lograr equilibrio mental. Jñana-yoga, o el yoga del conocimiento, involucra una inquisición filosófica sobre la naturaleza del espíritu. Cuando jñana-yoga se desarrolla al punto de la meditación en el Señor Supremo dentro del corazón mediante diferentes procesos físicos, se llama astanga-yoga. En tanto que uno continúa subiendo la escalera del yoga, se encuentra luego con raja-yoga, kriya-yoga, karma-yoga, prana-yoga y otros. Los Vedas explican que bhakti, o el yoga del amor y la devoción a Dios, es el escalón más alto en la escalera del yoga. Bhakti-yoga es la culminación de todos los yogas e incluye todas las otras formas de yoga en esta escalera. Bhakti-yoga es el sistema practicado por los miembros de La Sociedad Internacional para la Conciencia de Krishna (ISKCON).

muchas gracias por su tiempo espero que este muy bien, lo tengo siempre mis oraciones.

Dear Hanumatpreshaka Maharaja, Please accept my respectful obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada ¿¿Thank you so much for such a beautiful journal and the cashews...my heart melted upon seeing the priceless words that you wrote.

I am indebted to you for your association and devotees like you exalted self and a manifestation of a lifetime devotion. Shunning all the alluring things, you are focused on the Holy Name.

ASA - AgtSP. We really feel that our efforts in Srila Prabhupada's movement are very self serving, but maybe we are contributing a little, and avoiding taking too much!

Maybe we are just rogues disguised as Vaisnavas.

We hope that you can engage us in practical service, taking some understanding our our situation from the DTC(p).

We are certainly experimention with media and content and distribution.

AgtSP paoho. The Kapi Dhvaja goes today.
