Letters to the editor

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias a Sri Goura Nitai

Querido Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias

*¡Hare Krishna Gurudeva! Aquí Bhakta Rodrigo Hernández de Santiago de Chile. Esta es nuestra primera carta desde su visita a Santiago.

HpS - TlgaSP. Si, si, si! Hemos estado sintiendo gran separación de usted y esperando noticias.

Muchas, pero muchas gracias por cada segundo, por cada momento de su sagrada asociación hacia nosotros. Misericordia de Usted es muy grande.

Por favor Gurudeva perdone por  no escribir antes. Enero, febrero y marzo fueron días muy intensos y pasaron muy rápido.

Tuvimos muchas actividades que hacer y vivir, nuestro cuerpo y nuestro cerebro quedaron con poca energía. Tuvimos que tomar vacaciones para recuperar fuerzas.

Le pido mil disculpas por mi ausencia, prometo desde ahora escribir cada 20 días.

Aunque yo no escriba, todos los días pienso en usted. Y para saber de usted, leemos su boletín KAPI DHVAJA y el blog Monkey Warrior.

*Muchas gracias por su visita a Santiago y por favor perdone todos nuestros errores  y ofensas en nuestro servicio.

Las autoridades de la Biblioteca Nacional quedaron muy felices con el programa de usted y la cantidad de personas que fueron. Esto significa que podemos volver a hacer programas en Biblioteca Nacional.

Lamento que haya faltado tiempo para completar su conferencia sobre Carl Jung, le pido mil disculpas pero la persona de la Biblioteca encargada de la amplificación estaba ansiosa por terminar y me habló un par de veces.

*Hoy el mundo Católico Cristiano celebra el Viernes Santo, día de la muerte en la Cruz de Jesús. Cuando yo era un niño era muy devoto de Jesús y la Virgen María, me gustaba mucho leer la Biblia y mi idea era ser sacerdote, pero después el mundo material y maya entraron en mi vida por muchos años.

Hoy hemos meditado mucho en Jesús y la Virgen. Estuvimos viendo una película “María de Nazareth”, lágrimas caían de nuestros ojos. Muy emocionados.

*Gurudeva me gustaría saber más acerca de su proyecto de períodico. ¿”Solares”?

¿Cuál va a ser el enfoque editorial de este periódico?

¿Qué contenidos tendrá?

¿Ya tiene listo todo el equipo de trabajo?

¿Ya tiene un editor?

¿Cómo podemos ayudarlo a Usted con nuestro servicio?

Nosotros amamos trabajar en revistas, periódicos y libros.

*Jagad Guru está grabando en un dvd la película “Mahabharata” para el poeta RAÚL ZURITA.

Nuestro querido poeta Raúl Zurita el mismo día que se celebró Goura Purnima recibió un premio como Doctor Honoris Causa en una importante universidad de España. Yo creo que este premio fue gracias a  la asociación con usted, un devoto puro de Krishna, y misericordia del Señor Caitanya.

Raúl Zurita es un buen poeta y un alma piadosa. Queremos visitarlo cada vez que sea posible y llevarle Conciencia de Krishna en forma de libros, películas y prasadam.

En archivos van fotos de Usted con RAÚL ZURITA. Fotos son de Ambarisa y su esposa Vrsabhanu Nandini dd.

*Nuestra depresión bipolar está bien y controlada. Ahora debemos cuidar mucho nuestro cuerpo: azúcar, presión y colesterol muy altos. Debemos hacer dieta y cuidar mucho nuestra alimentación. Debemos hacer yoga y mucho ejercicio.

Entonces, nuestros mayores problemas vienen a veces de nuestra mente, otras veces los problemas vienen de nuestros sentidos y otras veces los problemas son de nuestro cuerpo.

¡Nuestro ‘hermano burro’ está muriendo de a poco!

*Estamos escribiendo mucha poesía. Este año esperamos publicar un libro de poemas. Mucha poesía surrealista y también algunos poemas devocionales.

*En casa tengo muchos libros.  Durante 20 años he formado una importante biblioteca sobre surrealismo, poesía, arte, periodismo y en los últimos años sobre Conciencia de Krishna.

En la actualidad NO estoy bien de dinero, entonces tuvimos la idea de crear una librería en facebook y vender algunos libros de nuestra biblioteca. Tenemos 500 libros a la venta.

Muchos de nuestros clientes NO compran libros acerca de Conciencia de Krishna o espiritualidad, pero nuestra estrategia es la siguiente: Cada persona que compra un libro, entonces nosotros le regalamos un libro de Srila Prabhupada y las personas SÍ aceptan nuestro regalo.

Nuestra librería se llama VENU GITA.

*Todo este año esperamos trabajar mucho nuestro sadhana y poder avanzar. Esta debería ser nuestra prioridad número uno.

Todavía tenemos muchos anarthas y defectos, pero cuando nuestra mente y nuestro corazón están en Conciencia de Krishna, pensamos en que nos gustaría vivir por usted y vivir para usted.

 Y en cuanto al deseo de tener esposa e hijos, espero poder llegar a ser un buen Grihastha como jefe de familia. Ruego por las bendiciones de Radha Krishna, Srila Prabhupada y Usted.

Por misericordia de Srila Prabhupada tenemos grandes amigos como ARJUNA y JAGAD GURU. ELLOS nos dan buenos consejos en Conciencia de Krishna. Consejos para nuestra mente loca.

Querido Gurudeva este es mi reporte

Por favor acepte mis más humildes reverencias,

Su aspirante a sirviente

Bhakta Rodrigo Hernández Piceros

HpS - ASA - No, noticias y ya muchos!!!  Por favor poco mas frequente!   Nada a adelantada con la revista Solaris.  Estamos esforzando con NIOS en India, Congresso de Educcacion en Julio en EEUU. y . Con Eduardo Gastelemundi en Peru, tratando inciar un diagolo. El era presidente de sociedad de psiciatras en Peru. Si eso adelanta esperamos involucar VD  y mas en el diagolo.

O.K. Unas cartas cortas cada unos semanas. "Hola, aqui estoy Rodrigo, aun vivo!"

Reverencias a Raul. Esperamos podemos utlizar la Pelicula en Lima en Agosto.

Dear Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I received one TPP from you last summer.

Did you send me an other one as well? It's a surprise. Thank you very much.

My address is: flat 5; 44-46 Buxton Road Luton LU1 1RE United Kingdom

And my name is Sri Radhe devi dasi not Sri Radha but i know that the dasi is the most important part of it ;)

HpS - ASA - Yes! We addressed it to Sri Radha Dasi, but now it is readdressed to Sri Radha Devi Dasi at the above address. We will post it soon. It is the wild ravings of Monkey and Piggy.

I read your answers and i found an interesting sentence: ..."but 24-26th we may have more time, but also may have to go to England!"

Is it true? If you would like to come here just let us know if you need assistance!

HpS - ASA - It would be if we had a chance and necessity to meet with Sonu Shyamdasani of the Philemon Foundation. He is Professor at University of London. Is not too much chance, but Krsna uses even the dogs!

And we didn't buy the ticket for Spain so far so if you come to England would be better to meet you here.

HpS - ASA - Spain is 99.9999%. England is 7.777%. Nos vemos en Espana.

Does it depend on something? When will you decide it?

HpS - We may even decide like the 23rd of May.

I'm waiting for your answer.

Thank you very much.

Your servant, Sri Radhe devi dasi.

HpS - AGTSP!!  Adelante!

Hare Krsna Maharaj,

Pamho Agtsp. You are the light of bhagavat in our well of darkness.

your mercy is beyond comparison.

HpS - ASA - Monkey says that your well must be very deep to get any help from HpSwami.

Two of indian followers of yours wanted to meet you in India. Can you please give your flight details of India travel ? has the travel itinerary also been finalized?

ASA - It is updated at the ASA Calendar. Just click on the link in today's KDh!  Thank you.  We want to see you.  We expect to just be stationed in Delhi and go to Vraja as we can. There we can just lie down in the street if we have to. After talk with Dr. Samaresh we should be able to send you more news. Big focus will be for our NIOS to meet with Shri Pranab Mukerjee. You are essential.

---------------------- watched a movie on Chris Kyle ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Kyle) an American sniper. A great help to US marines in Iraq, killed many militants and saved many marines. was hero or legend for marines but his wife was heavily unsatisfied as her husband was always mentally/physicaly in battle field. grrrrrr. it only makes sense when we work for krsna ( not for marines of wife), because only he can understand in and out ( OM param-atma).. even if it is SNIPE ha ha ha Jaya Rama

HpS - Yes, Grhastha Ashrama is big, big learning experience, no? But if we do it sincerely then we are prepared for Sannyasa and if we do Sannyasa properly then our return to Goloka is guaranteed (dragging our spouses, spices back behind kicking and screaming if necessary).

We are trying to get a good connection to watch M. Urmilla's video!  thank you..

6 eyes see better than 1

3 smiles are better than one

Nitay gaura premanandi !!!!!

HpS - AGTSP -- Paoho.  Thank you. In the center is Jayanta?????

HpS - ASA   ---  Yamunesvara Das, We just answered this letter by e-mail. But it is super, super, super to see it here on the Blog also. Everyone should hear about Manipur. Everyone should help to spread K.C. in Manipur.

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

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Radha Krsnaki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisances unto to Sri Guruji’s padmacharan that I am so happy after getting Gurujis reply. On the other hand we are very sorry to know that Guruji will not come to Manipur this year but we are eagerly waiting February, 2016. For our kind information is there any special programme during May 7-12, 2015 in Braja (Vrndavana)? If somebody comes to Braja for other purpose can we see Guruji there or not? If possible please give us the exact location? Is it ISKCON Temple of Vrndavan?

HpS – AGTSP. Paoho. It is always so nice to hear from you and any Manipuri Bhakta. Please be merciful to us. We are just now fixing our program for Delhi. We are trying to meet with Prime Minister to release our next NIOS book, so it depends on his schedule. I think mostly we will be in Delhi temple and then go to Vrndavana just for a day, but I don’t know.

Please highlight the following quotations and questions?

The fortunate inhabitants of Pitrloka, who preside over the funeral ceremonies, made Aryama into a calf Bhagavatam 4.18.18

There are so many lokas mentioned in the previous chapters e.g. Brahmaloka, Chandraloka, Suryaloka, Indraloka, Dhruvaloka, Sivaloka, Satyaloka etc. Again in the Brahma Samhita 43 sloka mentioned that Lowest of all is located Devi-dhama (mundane world),  next above it is Mahesa-dhama [abode of Mahesa], above Mahesa-dhma is placed Hari-dhama [abode of Hari] and above them all is located Krsna’s own realm named Goloka. Then the realm of Goloka stands highest above all other……….  the first in order is this mundane world called Devi-dhama consisting of the fourteen worlds, viz Satyaloka.

From the above statements quoted from Bhagavatam and Brahma Samhita where will be the different Lokas situated and in which levels? And what are the fourteen worlds? In which books and where we could find the fourteen levels including the planet Earth?

HpS – ASA – SB 2.5.38 +  ... there are details:

Below Bhu-mandala (~Earth) there are seven planetary systems: Vitala, Talatala, Atala... then bhur, bhuva, svarga, mahaloka, janaloka, tapaloka and jana-loka. Those are the 14-worlds. Gandhava loka is in Bhuva-loka.  They are in different parts of the 14-worlds. We really know how to get to our ISKCON Temples and how to go out on Sankirtan. –[;0)---

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS – We send you more news as we get it, but if you have not done the sequence listed above on the Blog PLEASE try that.   May you have all success in understanding Srila Prabhupada’s books and become the greatest ISKCON leader.

Hare Krsna Maharaj,
PAMHO, AGTSP

Just wanted to share, even Bhakti Vinod Thakur thougt something inappropriate about SB, what about conditioned souls

"The Bhagavat, like all religious works and philosophical performances and writings of great men, has suffered from the imprudent conduct of useless readers and stupid critics. The former have done so much injury to the work that they have surpassed the latter in their evil consequence. Men of brilliant thoughts have passed by the work in quest of Truth and Philosophy, but the prejudice imbibed from It's useless readers and their conduct prevented them from making a candid investigation...This prejudice is not easily shaken when the student grows up unless he candidly studies the Book and ruminates on the doctrines of Vaishnavism. We are ourselves the fact. When we were in college, reading the philosophical works of the West and exchanging thought with the thinkers of the day, we had a real hatred of the Bhagavata. That great work looked like a repository of wicked and stupid ideas scarcely adapted to the nineteenth century, and we hated to hear any arguments in It's favour...Oh! What a trouble to get rid of prejudices gathered in unripe years."
(excerpted from The Bhagavata Speech, Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur, 1869)

HpS - AGTSP paoho. Thank you so, so much.  Right in the Introduction to the SB:

"In the modern age Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu preached the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam by practical demonstration. It is easier to penetrate into the topics of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam through the medium of Śrī Caitanya's causeless mercy. Therefore a short sketch of His life and precepts is inserted herein to help the reader understand the real merit of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.

It is imperative that one learn the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from the person Bhāgavatam. The person Bhāgavatam is one whose very life is Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in practice. Since Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the Absolute Personality of Godhead, He is both Bhagavān and Bhāgavatam in person and in sound. Therefore His process of approaching the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is practical for all people of the world. It was His wish that the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam be preached in every nook and corner of the world by those who happened to take their birth in India."

Dr. Samaresh suggests that we shoot for release of our next book by Prime Minister of India while the HpS and Monkey and Piggy are in India, 7-12th of May. Are you ready!??  Sri Hari Das says he can help from Mathura, visits to New Delhi.
We will call you all. You are the hope of Asia.
