Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna, Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

By the mercy of Abhiram Thakur Prabhu, who encouraged donations for your hearing aids, we sent a message to the group of our spiritual brothers in Argentina. We sent $750 to the devotee Devendra Prabhu, who was in charge of the collection. Of this amount, $720 was a donation from Deva Vrata Prabhu, and the remaining $30 was from me.

HpS - AgtSP! We feel so guilty that we invested so much money in the apparatus, but several senior medical people here all agreed on it and the ASA Board voted 5 to 2 to invest.

They do work well, and we even suspect they will be in use after we leave this body. Thank you all!

We are personally working on an educational proposal, a kind of gurukula, which we are offering to you and to Prabhupada, who wanted to promote this kind of project. We will tell you more details about this in another letter. We want to invest our capital in that project, as we feel that is our dakṣinā to you.

HpS - One letter we remember Srila Prabhupada said to Grhastha that the Gurukula was his first responsibility and the temple his second.

Our discernment tells us that, due to your current service, focusing our energy and investment on this project might be a better service to you than giving you money personally. However, we would like to ask you if this is the right thing to do or if, on the contrary, we should make an annual donation, as we have always done.

HpS - Your choice and Deva vrata Das' both seem fine!

Thank you very much, Gurudev, for everything you do for us and for the embodied souls in this material world.

Your foolish servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Thank you. Hoping you can meet with Ananta isvara Das, ayurvedic doctor here!

Thanks to everyone.

Hare Krishna, Amado Gurudeva:

Por favor, acepte nuestras humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Por la misericordia de Abhiram Thakur Prabhu, quien impulsó las donaciones para sus audífonos, envié un mensaje al grupo de mis hermanos espirituales de Argentina. Le envié al devoto Devendra Prabhu, encargado de la colecta, $750 dólares. De esta cantidad, $720, fueron donación de Deva Vrata Prabhu, y los $30 restantes fueron míos.

Personalmente, estoy armando una propuesta educativa, una especie de gurukula, la cual hago como una ofrenda a usted y a Prabhupada, quien quería impulsar este proyecto. En otra carta le contaré más detalles sobre esto. Quiero invertir mi capital en ese proyecto, ya que siento que esa es mi daksina para usted.

Mi discernimiento me dice que, debido a su servicio actual, enfocar mi energía e inversión en este proyecto podría ser un mejor servicio para usted que darle dinero personalmente. Sin embargo, quisiera preguntarle si esto es lo correcto o si, por el contrario, debería hacerle una donación anual, como siempre lo he hecho.

Muchas gracias, Gurudev, por todo lo que hace por nosotros y por las almas encarnadas en este mundo material.

Su tonto sirviente,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva,

AGtSP, PAMHO

Gurudeva asked --"is it to develop enduring friendship with these students? is one of them having curly hair, swarthy complexion, playing a flute, natural leader of rest?"

answer--

The purposes of ppt is

1. to establish concept "causeless" existENCE, it make more sense if it is Being than primoRdial soup. and we can develop relation with Being, He controls all causes.
2. our own self were heavily mis/un guided, where we criticized people, wasted youth in technical life, was not exposed to philosophy / vedic ideas... so we should give it to them
3. enduring relationship with student---some of them yes , but with idea of guiding them as service to ISKCON and SPOG
4. the curly black hair boy (natural leader) is manifesting themself as spiritual sparks, so we have to learn different emotions before we relate with curly black boy
5. we remember your words in University preaching , just go to Param-atma level, and then personally try to take to Bhagvan.

obeisances

HpS - Professor!!

Very best wishes.

Thank you so much for your help, guidance, friendship for so, so, many years past and we hope forever in the future.

Hare Krishna Siksha Guru Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; all glories Srila Prabhupada; all glories to your good self for your own continued service to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna; all glories to all the devotees of Lord Chaitanya.

With regard to your posting on Whatsapp on the topic of diksha gurus, it is my understanding that a disciple acts as a ritvik guru whilst his own diksha guru is still on the planet.

When his own diksha guru leaves the planet, then the disciple can act in the role of diksha guru, accepting his own initiated disciples.

I could be wrong, but that is my understanding on this matter.

I don't know of any shastric references that indicate any arguments contrary to this protocol. Although it may be possible that there is some precedence to indicate otherwise; such as Narada being the guru for Vyasadeva, who in turn accepted Madhavacharya, who in his own turn accepted disciples, and so on. But I believe these were all siksha guru/disciple relationships. The formalities are not exactly similar, when it comes to diksha and siksha. No formal declaration is expressed, no fire yajna is performed, within a siksha & disciple relationship, although the implications and consequences are just as serious. We learn from guru, shastra and sadhu that one can have many siksha gurus, but only one diksha guru.

This is my understanding of these things (of course I could be completely wrong).

Your lowly servant,

Balabhadra dasa

HpS - I was thinking the same thing, but Kadamba kanana Swami started initiating with the permission of his ISKCON Diksa guru, Jayadvaita Swami.

Even remember letter from Srila Prabhupada where he expressed the same thing as you are saying to one disciple.

We don't feel comfortable with the word "ritvik" because we do not find it in a single Bhaktivedanta Purport, what to speak of detailed discussions.

The big leveler that we remember, came from "Guru and His Grace" by Sridhara Swami, Srila Prabhupada's godbrother, who said that the goal is trnad api sunicena... to have as many gurus as possible, to see everyone as guru, not to try to have as few as possible, and worse even keep those as a pet.

Of course, we have to advance in spiritual life to see how this is a reality and some are Diksa, Siksa, Sampradaya, Kula, Ashrama, Astra gurus.

One definition of Siksa guru that we like from Srila Prabhupad is: One who initiates according to the formalities.

If someone is giving Hari nama, or Gayatri Diksa, who received it from me, but does not have decent respect for me, then of course, the process is invalid.

Of course, I may have been properly situated when I gave the Mantra in the right ear, but now I have fallen into illusion, but the Disciple can appreciate that HpSwami, Disciple of Srila Prabhupada was properly situated at that time, and he has earned eternal respect for that time of purity, no?

Looking for reasons to love people, not hate them, no?

So... thank you for this observation, please send more as you have them. In the end, the authority for Diksa, Siksa rests and is alive in Srila Prabhupada in ISKCON.

Please accept my obeisances at your merciful lotus feet🙏🏻🌻💐🌷🌹🌻💐🌷

. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to You, who always help us so much!

The internet we paid for this time gives me a bit of connection all day, and then "free nights" from 12 to 6 a.m., so I'm once again disconnected from your beautiful Full Morning Program, but I can send this to you! ;

I'm downloading episodes of this series to watch them offline like everything else 😀 because even though it's only in Hindi, I can understand a bit from the gestures of these great actors!!! I really love watching this series, and I thought this episode was really funny and sweet. There are so many!! I hope you like it:

I've also been meaning to send you this from Green Gold for a while. It's Krsna aur Kamsa, and you can see it when Krsna straightens the hunchbacked woman! And when Krsna and Balarama enter Mathura! So many details. Of course, there are mistakes, but I consider it a blessing to be able to be absorbed and see these things. I hope you like it too:

Join Hanumatpresaka Swami as he offers an insightful explanation of his experience and techniques in journaling as an integral part of spiritual practice and self-discovery.

Our idea as AsA audiovisual Chanel si to be able to subtitle this video in different languages, including Spanish.

Anyone who wants to help as a translator can contact us at Vrsabhanu Nandini DD and Ambarisa Das. Thank you very much.

🐵 = We, agtSP, watched the whole thing. while we offered three ripe mangos to Gaura Nitai. We are trying to slow down and offer fewer mangos.

we put it up to playback speed of 1.25%.

Seems that there is a black triangle in the upper right side corner. maybe little two, three world comments, or flowers or monkey faces could creep in and sit there.

we liked it.

thank you!

we showed so many defects in our craftmanship, but that is good. show your defects. proportion destructive critics. and then be grateful for the hints from constructive critics!

thank you!

THANK YOU.
