Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

ASA - Tom Brown chose this size, color and highlight!

 AGTSP ¡¡¡ PAMHO ¡¡¡¡

I am exhausted ¡¡¡ This ECPE course is at 7 am. So I have to leave home around 5:45 am .Then I have to  give classes at the university... until 9:30 pm. Moroever, on weekends I have university workshops from 8am to 12pm. That is the reason why I am joining FMP at 5 am :( and I will join Namacarya's group on Monday (TLC). I hope this is ok for U..

ASA: We have consulted with the Supreme Absolute Undiferentiated ASA Comando and they say put 16/4/Brahma-muhurta Arati, first and they will back you up with concentrated air strikes and artillery fire whenever you need them to annhilate all of your enemies. Jaya, Super-Girl!

However my course finishes next Friday :) The exam is free just for those who have taken the courses...

ASA - God! Considering what austerity you go through it shoud be!

In addition, the charge of the exam is more than S/ 400, so I will take it on December, I just have to practice, in the last simulation test I do all the reading comprehension correct, vocabulary more less, but the CLOZE part was not so good, I just have to read and read in English, Thus I will read SP's books in English in order to be ready. For instance, in one of my book readings, the vocabulary has words like paraphernalia and so on, and I was the only one accostumed to that vocabulary.

For leading FMP, new schedule: Mitravinda dd leads on Thursdays and me on Sundays .... <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

Thank U for your answer to my last letter.. Yes the ladies who take therapy with me, appreaciate that I am vegetarian, sadhana, etc. They are just giving up the idea of controlling everything,  

Now I can say that it has taken  me more than 2 years to completely heal all my wounds. Now I just feel grateful not recentulness. I can see now that I am light and dark at the same time, but now I accept and appreciate both of them as well. I wish that all may feel the peace that I have nowadays. Obviously, I have to continue growing...I am doing Vinyasa yoga, gem theraphy, coaching, pujari, give BG classes once a month, but most importantly I have association with devotees ¡¡¡

Thank U Gurudeva. I have done things in this healing process that I've never imagine that I would do. I see how Krsna is revealing me His marvelous plan... I still have contaminations . For instance, yesterday I almost got mad because one of my godbrothers is criticizing me because I do gem theraphy... but then I just remembered your example about the pearl on your Japa beads...and I feel relieved. I do not feel discouraged anymore.

Carla Pflucker sends her respects, she says you will remember her surmane, jeje.

ASA - How is here baby?

Thank U for be [being] the captain of the boat for this long trip, back home back to Radha and Krsna

Trying to be useful.

HpS - ASA -- Thanks for the news. If any godbrothers criticize your actions then ask them for more!

You have many good friends. Just learn to have a proper relationship with them.

Prahlada had proper relationship with his father!

Hare Krsna, Prabhu,

AGTSP

paoho....

How are your spirits and material machine?

We are based in the Boro until 1 June then we are off to West Coast and Peru until 26th July.

We read and scanned your "A Collection...".  It was very interesting and informative but has covered so much territory that we could not get a precise handle on it to respond well.

We have kept it on our table and finally I would make this response:

Your thesis is: Why take Sannyasa when we already have the Bhagavata Dharma of Harinama.

I would respond that it is in the same line as getting married. If we are Suka-deva Goswami then we won't see naked girls when we pass the bathing Ghatta, but if we have some attachment, then Grhastha, Vanaprastha and Sannysas are excellent helps in accelerating the effects of Bhagavata Dharma. Srila Prabhupad and Srila Bh. Siddhanta followed this path. The two previous followed the Babbaji Vesa, kaupina kantha asritau, path, no?

Even if we have no attachment then Sannyasa, VAD, is still good for two reasons:

1. It is a good example for others.

2. It is just the most natural way for organizing the Sankirtan Party in the material world.

So, that is very satisfying essay for us.

Finally, think I got a clear perspective to offer you. See you soon?  Nrsmha-caturdasi??

You know this Purport, Lila, of Narada Muni and his Sannyasa? http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/6/13

Hare Krsna,

Sukadeva Dasa (Rsi-raja, no? ?),

I posted your Amazon link on our Blog: http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/node/7880

We certainly invite you to join our Blog and engage in this dialog their. We and our simian community will scrutinizingly respond, or you could outright join our 'Anjana Suta Academy' at www.JayaRama.US, or maybe the most practical for you, we can stay in touch on certain issues by e-mail and then, unless you specifically request us, on certain points, we can post our dialogs to our Blog as appropriate.

1. The English concept of "destiny" is the same as Karma, no?
2. Your Amazon bio-date makes  you sound like a potentially lone fanatic. Of course, actual reading our your books belies that. What about changing it so that you are mentioned as positioned amongst some other contemporary thinkers and allies?
3. In America, even into the early 60's we will find the idea that a man has his "calling in life" as a plumber or Senator. Also they would say that 'Mr. ABC has gone to his reward (died)'. George Washington went out listening the Bible, Krsna katha, as described in the historical journal, 'American Heritage'. 
4. We have an immensely popular show called, "Two Princes: Hamlet and Arjuna". There are so many parallels, Prabhupada said that we could teach Shakespeare in the Guru-kula (we heard from Hansadutta Swami). We will attach our PPTX.
5. What is our strategy? Help? We are very inclined toward the Jungian community from practical experience of their current nature and membership. This entails reading Shonu Shyamdasani's 'Introduction' to Jung's esoteric "Red Book" and then generating our Gaudiya Darsana.

We feel that you are a very busy person whose time is very valuable, but...  can you generate a proper analysis of the study heirarchy of your books and a perspective on their content? What should we read first?

Thank you,
Prabhu.

The following link is for Asish Dalela whom we met as Rsi-raja Das in 1996 in Calcutta with the Bhaktivedanta Institute. We read from one of his books while in Spain and found it expressing many of the ideas that we try to comunicate in this area of Science, Philosophy of Nature. We will ask him for a summary of  the relationship and content of his books so that our readers may look at his books systematically.

My dear guruji:

Long time since I wrote to the blog, but as I told you when you were here in Vrndavan, it has been very difficult for me to login, finally I got it, wow, I cannot believe it, these hi-tech devices make me crazy.

ASA - We must become mad like Gauranga!

First, I want to thank you very much for allowing me to serve you while in Delhi and Vrndavan, it has been very refreshing for me to listen to your lectures and to have personal answers to my questions, please forgive all my offenses.

ASA - '@'ink~~

Recently I had the opportunity to visit Navadvipa and Jagannath Puri,  [Jaya!] it was amazing to see all those beautiful places where Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was living, his birth place, the place where he met Nitai, the house of Srivas where they used to make sankirtan, the Ghambira, Sarvabhauma Battacarya's place, the place where Nitai broke Mahaprbhu's danda, so many beautiful places full of pastimes and the magnificent temple in Mayapur, with the Panca Tattva and Radha Madhava with all the gopis. In this trip Goura-Nitai gave me the big mercy to understand just a little bit more of their lilas.

HpS - Ecstacy!!!!

Now, back in Radhakund, trying to be more engaged in serving Radha-Kunja Bihari.

       ASA - Shhhh!

Some days ago, Gopi Radha from Mexico was here giving me the opportunity to associate and try to serve one of my beloved godsisters, we had very nice days, doing parikrama to Govardhana, to Radhakund, we also went to the Janma bhumi of Krsna in Mathura, thank you my dear Guru Maharaja, for propitiating this association.

Now, I am trying to reinitiate my seva in Radhakund and I have a request to all my godbrothers and godsisters who can help me donating and bringing me at least two "pool cleaners" that kind of nets are very useful to clean the kunda to take out all the prasadi flowers, these nets are not available in India, that is why I am asking for your help. If somebody want to make this service, Radharani personally will bestow on him all her mercy.

HpS - They have the nylon mess in India, no??   Maybe make one there??  But also can bring!

Thank you again and again, my dear guru maharaja, for all your causeless mercy to this fallen soul.

In another letter, I will try to send my humble tribute to our beloved Raktak prabhu, which I mentioned to you.

Your (trying to be humble) servant

=====================================================

It was a shock for me to know about the disappearance of our beloved godbrother, and I feel the necessity of writing about him.

HpS - Ooof!

He was the embodiment of a perfect disciple, always engaged in serving his guru maharaja, accomplishing all his needs, cooking for him when required, trying to be with him all the time he could, but specially, his complete surrender.

HpS - He had some attachments (smile)!

He has a lot of the qualities of a good disciple, tolerance, silence, simplicity, humbleness, among others, and as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam, “the disciple should learn giving mercy to the suffering, showing friendship to equals and showing humility and respect towards superiors”.

He had a proper conduct, he was a truthful representative of our guru maharaja and at the same time, he was very gentle towards us, his godsisters and godbrothers, always smiling, observing and hearing our problems and trying to advise us the best, always remembering and inspiring others to remember Krsna.

I remember last time I saw him he told me “from this year on, I will be with Guru Maharaja in every vyasapuja, no matter in which country it is held, I will do that because I want to be with him in that special day and also to meet more godbrothers and godsisters all around the world and to take a lot of pictures to share with all of them”.

I read in a sastra “just as the spiritual master is – so is the disciple, and of course Raktak Prabhu acquired all his qualities trying to emulate our guru maharaja.

HpS - Yeah!  We also have "some attachments".

As Guru Maharaja said in the blog, ‘we will miss him, but we won’t miss him”, we will remember his teachings, his smile, his advises, his gentleness but the most important thing is not only to remember him but to try to emulate him, to be a little bit like him, to learn how a good disciple should be, how to behave with our guru maharaja and so we can get his causeless mercy and at the same time of Radhe-Syam.

I am sure that Krsna needed a soul like him to engage him in his personal service and that is why he decided to take him back home. 

My dear godbrother, thank you very much for your association.

Your (trying to be humble) godsister

HpS - Yes, we think a lot about visiting Australia just to see his friends there also.   We are very tired, now. Little head ache coming, but maybe one more letter.  Join us.    We want to call Jagmohan. Our respects to your family. We hope your cow is fine. Can see our suggested India visit in letter to Dhruva, Australia. 27th Sep - 18th Oct

HpS - ASA -- Ah!  Ha!!  Aqui es la carta antigua!

Querido Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Me alegra saber que su viaje de regreso a Atlanta fue bien. He intentado contestar el mensaje pero no he podido. Referente al bastón, cuando Purnamasi se dió cuenta se lo dio a Jharikanda para que se lo diera a usted pero ya no lo encontró en el aeropuerto. Usted dirá que hago con él. Si quiere que Adiras se lo lleve a casa de Satsvarupa Maharaja puede hacerlo el 24 de Abril, o puedo guardarlo para cuando vuelva otra vez, o puedo quedarmelo yo como recuerdo ( mi opción preferida). Lo que usted diga estará bien.

Le agradezco muchisimo su asociación personal y aunque el servicio que le he prestado no ha sido muy bueno, pienso que ha tenido algunas cosas buenas. Su asociación es una fuente de inspiración para mi, para mi esposa y para muchos otros devotos. Espero que, al menos, se hayan cubierto los gastos del viaje. En la proxima ocasión haremos los arreglos de otra forma mejor.

Le envio algunas fotos de su estancia y le vuelvo a repetir que su visita es algo muy importante en nuestras vidas espirituales.

Sin mas se despide su sirviente

Jayanta das

HpS - ASA -- Nice photos!
