Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,

We were hearing your lecture on books are the basis. In that you mentioned

"one should build personal relation with Prabhupada".

For steel framed heart , a loner, low EQ person, (all this my mind not me ), 2 leg- animal, like us how can we establish personal connection. Is it okay to have personal-indirect connection all the time?

We are struggling with our necessities of eating, sleeping, working and defending. but one thing is good----16 rounds and 4 rules are intact and increasing in seriousness.

Virtual Mangal artik is more regular.

The best time is when we hear your lectures, and as you said "books are the things which you want to remember", kindly give us permission to transcribe your lectures.

I know personally you don't want to eclipse position of Srila Prabhupada,

but for fools like us, we need bridge like you.

We are not that fortunate and sincere as you are, but still somehow we got your association. We know once you are physically gone, only your voice will be remaining.

Frankly speaking we don't see any other purpose than to serve you in any capacity, in current life.

our wife and kid left us. its not a problem. you leave this world is a end of world for us practically.

I know you want us to preach, then what an two leg animal like us can do to preach.

we are saying this because in our department somebody regularly criticked us and then in reaction our hands legs started shaking, with rush of blood. We could not stop it immediately. now this is strange behaviour. reason we could figure out was hunger as trigger.

everybody has sort of disowned us, they expect us to be mature.

we are just two legged animal, who studied things to get bread.

but we console ourselves by saying that we had fortunate to share rooms, car, flight with HpS.

Srila Prabhupada took care of fool like us by making us meet you.

as Srila Prabhupada said he will live in his books forever, please allow us to make you alive forever also.

Youtube lectures are there, but still books seems to be more integrated.

robotic, automated, 2 -legged animal

HpS - Esteemed two legged animal with Doctorate !!

1) Your association is always nice. How can Srila Prabhupada or any one who reveres him forget the work you did to make the 'International Symposium on the Contribution of Ancient India in Making a Better World', in Calcutta. So many other ways you have helped Srila Prabhupada's mission.

Maybe you have shortcomings (in the material world everyone will show that [NOI-6]), but anybody with good heart and good brains will find some way to get the good aspects of your association.,

2) Transcribing: First work on the ASA(e). We seem to have stumbled in moving it forward. I (and TB/BW) just need a file that we can open with Word with everything in one alphabetic sequence ie. Essays and References.

O.K? Some of the DTC-UT presentations that we are making now could be made into publications and well as movies. First the ASA(e), no? The lectures could be edited into it.

3) Personal relationship with Srila Prabhupada: "The spiritual master is the transparent medium, although it is true that the experience is still direct." https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/advanced-view/#bb4272

It is like seeing the world through glasses. You have a direct experience of the world. So test of Guru parampara is that we have a direct experience of Srila Prabhupada through:

1. Paramatma
2. Deity
3. Books
4. Devotees
5. Dreams
6. Process
7. etc.

We used the weed whipper yesterday with goggles. It was good. Trimmed down a lot of weeds. Now we have Texted Don [Christian] is he can come and cut the major part. Many blossoms here. Hope to get to Discount Tire and get the Mercedes tire fixed.

Cooked two tablespoons of fennel seeds, two tblspns of rolled oats, and one robust carrot, and few walnuts and little salt, little olive oil, for Lord's lunch.

Was nice offering. As soon as we thought about how much to cook for Him etc. our consciousness changed and usually we cooked less and had a finer idea of what kind of food was needed for Him to have full energy.

We do not know anything.

Whatever plans we have, memories, are the result of chanting.

They keep the Calendars.

They defend us, or sacrifice us to the mall assassinators.

AGTSP Paoho..

Queridos devotos, 

Aqui esta el enlace a la clase de Hanumat Preshak Swami de ayer:

Hubo un problema y la clae no se transmitio en directo en el canal.

Disculpad cualquier inconveniencia que esto os haya causado.

Hare Krishna!

Ts, RND.

Hare Krsna querido Gurudeva, por favor acepte mis rendidas reverencias.

¡Todas las Glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada!

Y todas las Glorias sean a Usted que nos ocupa en el trascendental sankirtana de Su Divino Maestro.

Deseando se encuentre en buena salud escribo para rendir el informe anual de actividades que, por su misericordia, realizamos a través de “CRECER VAISNAVA”

Crecer Vaisnava Tiene como finalidad realizar actividades en línea de soporte educativo. Nuestros esfuerzos están dirigidos a familias Vaisnavas con hijos de hasta 12 años de edad. Participar de este programa ha sido muy divertido y revitalizante, tuvimos algunas dificultades causadas por mi salud, pero intentamos continuar.

*Durante el 2020 iniciamos una sección llamada “Club del Krsna Book” estuvimos estudiando un capitulo por semana. 

Fue un proyecto para familias muy agradable. Las familias proponían actividades; adivinanzas, drama, narraciones y un cuestionario del capítulo asignado por semana. Nosotros respondíamos preguntas y establecíamos dinámicas de profundización. (Estamos compilando todo para hacer un libro que concentre todas las actividades sugeridas.) Fue muy agradable pero tuvimos que suspenderlo a mediados de año por los problemas con mi salud.  Cuando el programa se detuvo, un grupo de 3 familias que asistían, iniciaron por su cuenta el estudio del Bhagavad-Gita para niños de 12 y 13 años, recientemente hemos estado en contacto con ellos para apoyarles y ellos también me han ayudado bastante. Estamos trabajando para retomar este proyecto en los próximos meses.

*En el área de Traducción

El equipo al fin termino la traducción del libro publicado por el Grihasta Vision Team titulado “Conexión del Alma y Corazón: Una guía devocional para el matrimonio, Servicio y Amor” Ahora estamos trabajando en el proceso de revisión y corrección de estilo.

Tenemos la esperanza de que estos esfuerzos sean de gran benéfico para los Grihastas de habla hispana. La publicación de este material estará a cargo del equipo del Grihasta Vision Team, encabezado por madre Uttama Devi Dasi.

*Libros y material de estudio para niños.

Estamos trabajando en 2 proyectos. Liderados por 2 devotas pintoras (Madre e hija)

Se trata de un libro de Ramayana para niños de 8 a 13 años. 

Y otro de “Los avatares” aun estamos en proceso de definición de estilo, en cuanto tengamos algo avanzado estaré informando con mayor detalle.

Además de lo anterior, estamos trabajando en otros cuadernillos de trabajo menos ambiciosos que resultaran del Club del Krsna Book.

*Revista Digital para Padres Educando en el Hogar para Crecer Vaisnava.

A partir de este año retomaremos la publicación de nuestra revista digital considerando las recomendaciones de un devoto que trabaja como editor para una revista, y para hacerlo más sostenible, únicamente realizaremos 2 publicaciones al año.

Por el momento es todo, Muchas gracias querido Gurudeva su misericordia sin causa es lo único que nos mantiene en pie, tratando de ser útiles en el trascendental Sankirtana de Srila Prabhupada. 

Aprovechamos para enviar nuestra pequeña ofrenda en el marco de su trascendental Vyasa Puja. Esperamos que le agrade. https://youtu.be/eS5kV5Hr9Ic

En honor a su Vyasa puja, mi hermana Pati-Prana DD preparo un pastel para Sri Nrsmhadeva, Para Sri Gopal y para Usted y mi madre Citraleka Sakhi DD hizo otras preparaciones (envió fotos). Yo apoyé en la compra de flores para la celebración de su VP en el templo y por su misericordia sin causa obsequie 6 Bhagavad-Gitas a los vendedores, todos lo recibieron con mucha alegría y retribuyeron con Flores.

Gracias por ocuparnos en servicio Gurudeva.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories be to Srila Prabhupada!

And all the Glories be to You who occupy us in the transcendental Sankirtana of Your Divine Master.

HpS - OUR divine master. 🙏

😊

Wishing you are in good health, I am writing to present the annual report of activities that, by your mercy, we carry out through "CRECER VAISNAVA"

Crecer Vaisnava, its purpose is to carry out online educational support activities. Our efforts are directed at Vaisnava families with children up to 12 years of age. Participating in this program has been a lot of fun and revitalizing, we had some difficulties caused by my health, but we tried to continue.

* During 2020 we started a section called "Krsna Book Club" and we were studying one chapter per week. It was a very nice family project. The families proposed activities; riddles, drama, storytelling, and a weekly assigned chapter quiz. We answered questions and established dynamics of deepening. (We are compiling everything to make a book that concentrates all the suggested activities.)

It was very nice but we had to suspend it in the middle of the year due to problems with my health. When the program stopped, a group of 3 families who attended, started on their own the study of the Bhagavad-Gita for children of 12 and 13 years, recently we have been in contact with them to support them and they have also helped me a lot. We are working to restart this project in the coming months.

ASA - !!! 😃 !

No better program in the world! Todo disponible in Espanyol.

* In the Translation area the team finally finished the translation of the book published by the Grihasta Vision Team entitled Heart and Soul Connection: A Devotional Guide for Marriage, Service and Love. We are now working on the proofreading and proofreading process. We are hopeful that these efforts will be of great benefit to Spanish-speaking Grihastas. The publication of this material will be the responsibility of the Grihasta Vision Team, headed by mother Uttama Devi Dasi.

HpS - and Partha Das! They are my old friends for decades.

* Books and study material for children: We are working on 2 projects. Led by 2 devoted painters (Mother and daughter). This is a Ramayana book for children ages 8 to 13, and another of "The avatars" which we are still in the process of defining the style. As soon as we have something advanced I will be informing in more detail.

In addition to the above, we are working on other less ambitious workbooks that will result from the Krsna Book Club.

* Digital Magazine for Parents Homeschooling to Grow Vaisnava: Starting this year we will resume the publication of our digital magazine considering the recommendations of a devotee who works as an editor for a magazine, and to make it more sustainable, we will only make 2 publications a year.

For the moment it is all, Thank you very much dear Gurudeva, your causeless mercy is the only thing that keeps us standing, trying to be useful in Srila Prabhupada's transcendental Sankirtana.

HpS - A secret (?) - I am at least 90% idiot. Whatever good qualities I show are from the unlimited determination and mercy of Srila Prabhupada. Let us all thank him He left Vrndavana. It is inconceivable how happy he was there but he begged with tears in his eyes, sweeping the courtyard of the Goswamis to be able to accomplish his mission assigned by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta.

We take the opportunity to send our small offering in the framework of his transcendental Vyasa Puja. We hope you like it. https://youtu.be/eS5kV5Hr9Ic

In honor of his Vyasa puja, my sister Pati-Prana DD prepared a cake for Sri Nrsmhadeva, For Sri Gopal and for You and my mother Citraleka Sakhi DD made other preparations (sent photos). I supported the purchase of flowers for the celebration of his VP in the temple and by his mercy without cause I gave 6 Bhagavad-Gitas to the vendors, they all received it with great joy and gave back with Flowers.

Thank you for engaging us in Gurudeva service.

His servant, Karuna-Sakti DD

HpS - ASA - We are sure, 'mahatmanas tu mam partha..." (https://vedabase.io/es/library/bg/9/13/), that whatever diseases you have with your body are under Krsna's supervision as part of your service. Take them that way!! See you in Nabadvipa with Nimai. Respects to all the children and parents. Best wishes to develop Vaisnava Crecer and coordinate with devotees around the world.

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you very much for sending the DTC paper format scans. I will upload it to Google Drive.

We miss your association a lot! From Monday this week, the temple has been open for darshan. We went for mangala arti after a long time yesterday and it was so wonderful. I can always feel your mercy when we enthusiastically participate in the morning program but still it would be nice if we can meet you in person. In a few hours, I will go to the temple for my Syana arti service.

Work wise, it has been very busy and the bhakti sastri program is also taking up lots of my time, most of which is administrative. I am looking for someone in the community to take up that role so that I can try to start and focus on other educational programs.

 I am planning to sit this weekend and complete my work on TPP. I am very sorry for the delay Gurudeva.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa 

HpS - ASA - Thank you for your effort. There seems to be value in these manual Diarys, Journals, Sketch Books, but we also don't want to store a bunch of mediocre material from a hopefully mediocre devotee. AGTSP!!

Any feedback that people can give on this effort would really help. Not just on our Journals, but on the general principle of Journalism.

Prabhu, can you send us the link for accessing the Google archives. I think you sent it before so maybe you can just reference that Blog post.

I will put it in the Kapi Dhvaja.

Radha Kala-chandji Ki Jai! They need a bigger temple!!! Need to have a devotee community occupying 85% of all the local buildings!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Acepte por favor mis reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Quería contarle que desde febeero estamos distribuyendo prasadam a las personas en situación de calle en el barrio, todos los sábados. Tal vez esto aumente con el tiempo.

Nosotros cocinamos y los distribuyen miembros de la comunidad que conocí haciendo Sankirtan.

Deseamos pronto ver su revista que hará para barrio, así poder tomar el concepto y hacer una aquí para nuestros vecinos.

=-=-=-=

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I wanted to tell you that since February we have been distributing prasadam to homeless people in the neighborhood, every Saturday. Perhaps this will increase over time.

We cook and are distributed by members of the community that I met doing Sankirtan.

We hope to see soon your magazine that you will do for the neighborhood, so we can take the concept and make one here for our neighbors.

HpS - Thank you for the news! It is super... By your association we hope to get to our Neigborhood, Village, Bulletine: Hillcrest Howler. Hillcrest is name of the street. We live like at the crest of the crest of the street, and Howlers are types of monkeys. So maybe we can adopt that ego. We wrote notes for it but not yet published. Your association gives us much impetous.

🗿

AGTSP!

paoho

Ambarisa Das and Vrsabhanu Devi Dasi et al are maintaining the this ASA Youtube channel. We offer our sincere thanks to them and hope that this is a good contribution to Gaura-Natai's Sankirtan through Their intimate associate, Srila A. C. Bhativedanta Swami.

Here is a link to three shows that might be added.

We are trying to avoid adding mediocre or temporary content.

What do you think?
