Dear Maharaja Hanumatpresaka Swami
please accept my humble obeisance’s, All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
It is with a heavy heart that I bring news of a God Brothers passing, Visnu Gada Prabhu has left us.
Was a bit of a surprise for me for I didn’t know of his bodies difficulties. The time with him was brief, though all encounters were sincere and enthusiastic. He always was soberly jovial and encouraging whenever we talked, one would never even know he had physical problems. His departure was actually graceful, no qualms or bitterness, just checked in the hospital and greeted his new journey.
Here’s the post from his facebook page:
"Wayne passed peacefully in hospital in Springfield, Oregon in the company of several dear ones at 12:54 AM Nov 10. He had been diagnosed with Leukemia a few years ago yet maintained his usual pattern of life until his health collapsed in the last month."
This is from his close friend Shyam Govinda Prabhu,
“My good friend, Vishnu Gada prabhuji/Wayne von Witte had left this harsh world behind. I am feeling morose that I won't be able to hear his constant words of positive encouragement or about his wonderful adventures while out distributing Srila Prabhupada's books.
Whats strange is that I had thought about him a whole lot today before I had heard the news. I believe that he came to me and said his goodbyes.
I'm missing you
Hare Krishna”
HpS - ASA --- Is also very good news, no? Good devotee, good future! We will keep his picture, copy attached, and chant Japa for him. We are really situated on the mental platform more than the gross platform so all these useful thoughts can help him greatly.
We have been having problems posting in the Blog, so this letter is a little slow.
Hare Krsna Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.
Madre Candra Muki me comento, que Usted me mencionó sobre unas bolsas artesanales.
Tengo unos bolsos artesanales de Yute (27 x 30 cm.) que los lleve al aeropuerto cuando Usted viajo a Chile, y
no pude mostrarle. Le estoy enviando algunas fotos para que conozca los bolsos, por
ahora solo tengo cinco unidades. Hasta el 19 podría hacer unos 10 más, y mejorar los
diseños. Esperare su respuesta.
Discúlpe Gurudeva por mi falta de cualidades para servirle como usted se merece.
Atte. Karuna Mayi devi dasi.
Hare Krsna Gurudeva, please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Mother Candra Muki told me, that you mentioned me about handmade bags.
I have some handcrafted Jute bags (27 x 30 cm.) That will take you to the airport when you travel to Chile, and
I could not show him. I am sending you some photos to know the bags, for
Now I only have five units. Until 19 could do about 10 more, and improve the
designs I await your response.
Excuse me Gurudeva for my lack of qualities to serve you as you deserve.
Atte. Karuna Mayi devi dasi.
HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna. TlgaSP!. paoho. These seem fine. What is a good donation for them? Devotees in the USA are happy to make a reasonable payment. What we need is one more Peruvian handicraft type bag like the one we already have in Abhirama's apartment. Then we can put more devotional paraphermalia in it. The bags you have may be enough to fill it. What about other devotional handicrafts from other eg. Sita, Gandharva and Mataji?
HPS - ASA - Hare Krsna. TlgaSP !. paoho. Estos parecen estar bien. ¿Qué es una buena donación para ellos? Los devotos en los Estados Unidos están felices de hacer un pago razonable. Lo que necesitamos es una segunda bolsa de artesanía peruana más como la que ya tenemos en el apartamento de Abhirama. Entonces podemos poner más parafermalia devocional en ella. Las bolsas que tengas pueden ser suficientes para llenarlo. ¿Qué pasa con otras artesanías devocionales de otros, por ejemplo. Sita, Gandharva y Mataji? Cajas?
Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

Thanks to technology we can have your association, also Arjuna and Parasurama are always informing us about your very goodself Sir
Gurudeva I was wondering if You may have some words to our Dear Srila Prabhupada, we are going to read some offerings this sunday in Chosica. And We would be honor to read something from You.
The pearl is helping??
Thanks in advance
Your eternal servant
Candramukhi dd
HpS - Pearl may be helping. We attached it to our Japa beads. Allergy is gone but other rememdies also. Change for a ring? Must measure finger.
"Esteemed Srila Prabhupada,
We bow down to your lotus feet on the Vysasana, the Altar, and in our heart.
We will try to make little, permanent, steps in becoming better servants to your Your Divine Grace."
Now we run to Dhatri!
Hare Krsna!!
Dear Maharaj, I regret because I couldnt saw you more time. But I have been with a terrible pain on my back. I went to the doctor and made column and lungs x-ray plates. Fortunately both positives. I think it was stress and bad position for computer, I am better now but still need to find out what is it.
So please excuse me. The Simposium was great, hope you and all your collaborators are satisfied with such an important work done.
I undestand you are n Chile now, right?
Thank you very much again.
P. O.

HpS - ASA --
Thank you so, so much for your letter!!
Yes, the symposium was intense work, but the result was over the top. Your inauguration took us right the INCA. It was incredible. We could see another world of so much power that it makes our's tiny.
We have had bad pain also. We see that it sends big signals through the whole nervous system like a loud noise. It paralyzes of causes convulsions. We fight that because it is humiliating to be just under the control of our body. No respectability. But if we just let our selves become the pain. Then it is O.K. Maybe we will die. LEave this body.
Maybe we meet old friends in next body, but for sure the naughty son of Maharaja Nanda, Krsna, is always lurking around trying to play with us. We are His best friend. He misses our direct association.
We are back in Lima for 19th and 20th.
We really should discuss all this. The program in Lima and now Chile are expanding like anything. It would be nice to do something nice for many people, no?

Hare Krisna beloved Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
I know you are quite busy with your tour and preaching.
We were reading BG chapter 6 and I don't understand well the difference between the concepts of brahma bhuta and samadhi.
Can you explain further please?
Thank you so much,
At your service,
Nikunja bihari das.
HpS - AGTSP. paoho. Yes. When we stay in our cave in Nashville we can answer letters. The only human contact we have is when we go to our walk with NGD in the evening, but when we travel we are in contact with new people constantly and need to talk about things. Letters and personal contact. How to balance.
So nice to write to people, to you.
About 11-men, scholars, professors, are here in our rented luxury flat in Lima for the conference. They are so nice, so much stimulating each other. Then when we go to the public program they, we, all want to hear their public presentations.
Hope this network can contribute something to help the world.
https://www.vedabase.com/en/bg/18/54 - This comes to mind. Samadhi means to fix the mind on one thing. Brahma bhuta means Brahman realization, there is a reality, I don't die, but there is no Paramatma, universal, congnizeable reality eg. Male and Female is an Eternal Reality. I can know it. Then if I apply that eternal knowledge I get eternal happiness. Sati, Cit, ANANDA.
Samadhi may mean to fix the mind, in a superficial, general sense, upon the Deity. Then there is no material relation, no sufering. It is the beginning. Then.. I can meditate, Samadhi, on Krsna's smile, mercy, power. More like Cit. O.K?
