Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Hope you are in good health & writing a nice book for us.

    After a long time, am writing to you. While we check the blog, every day.

    First, want to share about KG:
    1. Wake-up between 3:00 - 3:15 AM
    2. Chanting 17 rounds
    3. Lecture and Study - BG
    4. Lecture - SB
    5. Puja
    6. Cooking
    7. Offering
    8. Office
    9. Study - BG

    We have changed our schedule a bit. More focused on BG Study. Has set target date to complete by December 31, 2014.
    Then, will start SB.

    Schedule has been changed as per instruciton of Shiksa Guru (H G Gopendra Prabhu, Vrndavana). And the same has been informed to local Shiksa Guru (H G Balram Hari Prabhu, Pune).

    Office work as usual.

    Gurudev, Do you have any schedule for India for "Kartik" in Vrndavan?

             HpS - We are so so happy to hear from you. We saw your letters and wanted to read them sooner but they were not marked 'Urgent' so we are just coming to them in order of receiving them. It is so nice to hear from you.

Are you using some Study Guide for the BG study???
We go where Krsna takes us but now looks like we will get to India like October 2015. It is a long way to travel and our Donkey is rather old.

    Gurudev, Please advise on 2nd Initiation. If you permit, would like to go for 2nd initiation.

    HpS - ASA -- Your Sadhana seems like a Brahmana. Your association seems the same. I think you just have to get the Bh.Sastri certificate and then of course approval by President. We would like to visit Pune. In three days is the Kapi Dhvaja. We will try to write more about our "Book Writing".

    Gurudev, Question : How you chant in your mind, how you meditate on Prasadam!!

     HpS - We remember that Prabhupada says that in Kali yuga best is Maha-mantra with lips and voice and three Gayatri sandyas silently.

Prasadam we meditate on many ways but one of the best, most fun is meditating on what we will offer to Lord Nrsmhadeva. We want a nutritious diet for Him. O.K. You??

    Thank you, Guru Dev.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

                 HpS - What kind of preaching are you able to do at work?

All glories toSrila Prabhupada. Dear Gurudev, please accept our respectful obeisances. After your last visit to Mexico, there was a need to improve the Sunday program ASA Kids México. For that reason we were thinking that with the help of the temple authorities, we can acquire   the “Hare Krishna Sunday School Program”, which was created by Mother Tapasvini dasi and Sangita devi dasi. The program is divided amongst 3 age groups: Madhava (6-8) years old,  Damodar (9-11) years old and Madan Mohan (12 – 14 years old). Here is the link if you want to check it out. http://harekrishnasundayschool.com/  We trust this program will help us give better tools for the good Krishna Consciousness development of our children community. As part of this project we will translate the program so future generations can have the benefit it offers. We would like to know your opinion about this plan, so we can continue working under your divine guidance. Thank you very much for you precious time, we pray so we can have your blessings so we can continue serving Srila Prabhupada through our children community. Your servants, Gopi Radha and Anuradha DD. ASA Kids México

HpS - AGTSP!  paoho -- As I know the program it is very good and has been used successfully in many Temples. Maybe somebody else on the Blog can make a comment. It may already be translated! Such nice work you are doing. Maybe Krsna will be a student in your class in your next life.

ASA - Standard for Ladys
by Guy "Uncle" Gismo
President of the ASA Civil Deadman's Society
(rev. 2014 May 26)

1) No, mini-skirts, dresses should be no higher than mid-calf, and usually longer.

2) Only short term contact with the opposite sex for preaching purposes.

3) Should get married by 15-years old ideally but in Kali-yuga get advice from six good people about the sitution. Actually best thing is to marry Krsna, the King of Vrndavana.

4) Don't talk with weak-minded Dudes in secluded places.

5) Don't bite people. Ask Radharana to ask Krsna and Balarama to protect you. Chant Hare Krsna and be happy.

6) Only listen to music, watch movies, read books that you would see with Srila Prabhupada.

7) Ignore all these rules if Krsna personally tells you to do so.

Thank you. We will try to follow this standard also. Please send your ideas to the Blog.

hare krsna maharaj, pamho, agtsp
how are you ?

             HpS - AGTSP!!!!   Life is a Battle of Kuruksetra. So far we think Krsna has been able to keep us alive and shooting!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8-Hi2N8FcE   . this video shows the state of cattles (buffalo/cow) in india. Its pathetic...

. . . I wanted to ask what is the position of cow protection in ISK sankirtana activities? how do we connect cow protection to chanting of holy names....

regards,
harsh

      HpS - We will take your word for it and the word we have heard from others we trust, and not watch the video. The devotees in Australia had a plan to blow up a slaughter-house near the Temple. They indirectly asked Prabhupada about this when he was there and he answered (we heard this from Caru Das, President), "What is the use. They will simply build a new one. Unless the consciousness, attitude, is changed they will not stop". So that is the answer, no? We have to individually try to improve our efforts to educate the world, our part of the world, as fingers of Lord Caitanya. Of course, Kirtan, personal, and engaging the ignorant is the best way to educate.

Other point is that this is the material world and all the cows who are getting tortured were people who tortured cows. We want to help them very, very much, but they are NOT innocent.

 AGTSP !

Please accept my humble obeisances

Dear maharaja

Such good news how you are establishing an office and ashrama in Murfreesboro TN !     and going to Wash Dc !

We wrote a letter a couple of weeks ago but can't find it in our track record here, may be it got lost of squeezed by digital techtonics,  but just in case it survived somewhere in the blog we won't repeat it all again only the main points. Mainly we are engaged in a book editing service and fighting for survival outside the asrama, also requesting a phone # to reach you for any super extra urgent important call.

   AGTSP paoho.  Our Secret Phone Number is 209 505-3219 but it is answered by Tom Brown and Buck White so be careful. It is good for Texting also but we don't talk to girls alone!!!

And if possible have darshan  in Wash DC during your next visit.

  We are waiting for Braja bihari Das to confirm the weekend and then we shall buy the tickets, July 18-20th.

 We are just fallen donkeys but we aknowledge the legible and metaphysical inspiration you have established in our hearth.  Hoping one day to receive Harinama initiation from you (we really need it) and  thanking you endlessly for the siksa and encouragement

bhakta Raul

            HpS - Jaya! AGTSP.  We shall write the DTC just for you today!
