Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva/Maharaj

Please accept my Dandavats.

I was trying to avoid writing to you, but I was always having constant concern about your instructions and other things by you.

Again as I mentioned my four rules are intact however full morning program or reading is not that much there.

Though I hear other vaisnavas of other sampraday.

I do find myself little purposeless or perplexed about my relationship / association with the current/future ISKCON.

It seems to be very doubtful.

I don't know in what levels and what capacity to associate with them and neither I am finding any one close to your your ideas or even your perspective.

I know all this confusion will go away when I will chant properly and the holy names will talk to me.

However, I don't know when that moment will come . And there is fear of me not associating with anyone from ISKCON once you leave this mortal world.

I do not know how I will I contribute to ISKCON accept for simple chanting and reading and basic non violent or non aggressive behaviour which I had that's all I can say .

I feel solace with you only. I am not qualified or sincere for your concessions given to me. spiritual rituals make sense when you are some how associated.

These days I get up before sun rise and hear metal rock with beats , which gets me started.

My story might be same, hence not writing much.

Pranams

HpS - Cool letter.

American B'cari in New York 1971, rather leader in Temple administration, Sankirtan, wrote to Srila Prabhupada, "SP I cannot stop thinking about illicit sex!!"

Srila P answered, "Yes, because of the birth you have taken you will not be able to stop thinking about illicit sex in this lifetime, but if you follow me you will be able to tolerate it!"

Also heard, saw SP say, sometimes I think about my former activities with my wife, That is natural.

But I don't go back.

That is intelligence.

O.K. Wating for next fortnightly news from ASA - Varanasi.

HpS/ASA - Esteemed PRP - Krsna Krsna . . . Hare Hare.

Did you see our message to the Houston Cine Development Group?

I talked with Abhaya about a week ago and he said that Saranga was busy with 16,108 festival projets but he would talk with him.

Of course, we want to develop this work either in Texas or Tennessee etc. and hope that we can get your mercy in the work.

We have a very active worker coming to settle here 3rd of April. Sri Hari Das, retiring as Dean of Engineering at big Indian University.

Even before that we can start looking at certificates in motion picture design at the local university.

Thank you.

[3/19/2024] PRP - Hare Krsna, Maestro!

Yes, I read your message. Thank you for giving me this update. I feel happy that my proposal will be developed either way, and we can continue to work on the aspects that will make this project more productive to you.

Haribol!

[3/26/2024] Pablo Rivasplata: Hare Krsna Maestro

My mind is already there. Today, I started to check for film schools in Tennessee universities. Will let you know my findings:

https://www.memphis.edu/communication/undergraduate/ug_fvp.php

In the paper, this is the one that called my attention because it blends communications with filmmaking.

Then I found these three other options to consider:

1. https://as.vanderbilt.edu/cinema-media-arts/
2. https://www.belmont.edu/academics/majors-programs/motion-pictures/
3. https://www.nfi.edu

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna! Thank you. I am editing and posting these WhatsApp chats onto our ASA - Blog page.

If you can post in this Blog, it will speed up any work institutional work that we can do with Anjana Suta Academy (ASA).

Of course, ASA is very esoteric: HpS, Monkey, Piggy et al, but let us start with what we have.

Specifically, geographically, ASA is based in Nashville Metroplex. More specifically, Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Within bicycle distance is MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University).

Please investigate their curriculum, prestige and personel???

Thank you for any mercy you can give us.

Hare Krsna, Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, pamho.

I hope this meets you well.

HpS/ASA - Same to you, agtSP!!! Especially spiritually well!

There have been episodes in my life that astrology helped me understand.

HpS - Seems like same for me.

And it also serves to be prepared. I have been studying that during March there are important movements in the sky and that is why I wanted to share it on the Blog

From the 16th to the 30th there are accumulation of planets between Aquarius Pisces and Aries.

It means that there are lots of air, water and fire energy but lack of earth. So that there is an energy imbalance.

Mercury, the planet of communication, is in a bad position and this increases as we approach the date of the first eclipse of the year.

On March 25th there is going to be a partial lunar eclipse in Virgo at 11 degrees

Let's recall that Eclipses occur when the sun and moon align with rahu and ketu

The best shelter as always is the holy names, but if we can diminish our material activities on the day of the eclipse that will be superb.

HpS - Thank you! Any astrologers whom you take as teachers?

As devotees it seems that there is nothing inauspicious. We just have to learn how to use the lack of earth.

Dress according to our age.

Yet, if we cannot do this yet, we should avoid the demonic and grasp the daivic as you suggest!

Thank you.

CMDD's report: I work from Monday to Sunday but the good thing is that there are just 2 days that I have to commute to work the rest of the days I have virtual classes. Nevertheless, sometimes it is a little bit demanding

HpS - Very demanding!

I try to join the FMS most of the days, 16R and 4P are ok.

I go to the church every Sunday is right in front of my house. My sister joins me. I haven't gone to any temple recently. That is something that I miss a lot

Thanks Gurudeva hope to visit you soon

Trying to be your disciple

CMDD

HpS - Is your sister going to join us in Nabadvipa in her next birth??

As usual there we innumerable, marvelous Vyasapuja offerings, and this year we edited them into one Word file for later appreciation.

Finally, today, we got a chance to open the file.
