Letters to the editor

Dear Guru Maharaja 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

The kindle version of the book is ready for publication Maharaja. In order to publish the book, we need to give Amazon a checking account for them to deposit the royalties. They don't have a check option for disbursal of royalties. 

The details needed for the account are

HpS – AGTSP!  I will assume it is O.K. with our President and Treasurer for us to start depositing the money direct unless I hear them howling in the by December 5^th.  Are we risking having our account hacked and all our money stolen? I don’t think more than normally, no?

1.   Account holder name

XXX

2.   Account number

XXX

3.     Routing number

XXX

1.    Name of the bank

XXX

Would it all right if we can use the same checking account for the paperback as well Maharaja? That way, we don't have to pay Amazon a handling fee for the checks.

HpS – Seems fine to us. This is all prototype work. I suggest you, Joshua, and Abhirama Das in Peru set all this up. It may be very easy to handle a lot of this from Peru.

Since the book has a lot of pictures, the file size is close to 68 Mb. Amazon charges a delivery charge of $10.17, if we choose the 70% royalty option. As discussed, I'll select the 35% royalty option with a list price of $5. This give us a royalty of $1.75.

HpS – That is fine, 35%.

Once the account information is entered and we can publish the ebook, it should be available within 72 hours on amazon.com. 

I have updated the ISBN file you sent me with an entry for Twirl Your Beads.

Your servant

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

PAMHO

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?
