Letters to the editor

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!

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.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to your wonderful service to him.

Whenever I finish school work early on any given day, I have been reading Memories, Dreams, and Reflections. So far, it is a very interesting and smooth read. Carl Jung analyzes his childhood with a level of depth that I never used to think about my own childhood experiences. I thought I would write to you on a few points that seemed intriguing to me from the first 50 or so pages.

1) Jung felt more comfortable with God, than with Jesus Christ, because he heard that no correct conception or image can be formed regarding God (27). Based on this page, my preliminary impression was that Jung was attracted by mystery as opposed to certainty, more of an impersonalist approach as opposed to personalism. Is this correct, Guru Maharaja?

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!! I think this can be a very useful endeavor. Please keep your notes.

Next, I have heard criticism (Prof. Shyamdasani?) that it is not exactly an auto-biography that lady who co-wrote it put her biographical notes in as Jung's own comments without complete authorization, so some things may be a little off.

I would say that it might be as you say. I and most of us are contaminated with impersonalism to some extent, and so to some degree negating material personalism for mysticism is a better way to approach God unless you get a 'bija' by the mercy of Guru and Krsna.

In perspective, and maybe not true, but my impression is that Prof. Jung was on the level of Hiranya garbha realization ie. above Virata rupa but not up to Paramatma. All three of these have some impersonalism, but a lot less than a gross Karmi.

2) Just when Jung was six years old, he found an "inexhaustible source of interest" the illustrations of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva in a children's book he had, and secretly believed that they resembled his "original revelation" (17). While it is unclear what exactly the nature of this resemblance is, I think it would be interesting to hold on to the idea and attempt to dissect it further as I read the book.

HpS - Yes! I don't remember that!

3) I was also struck by the deep and negative impression his mother's absence made on Carl Jung. He speaks of his mother repeatedly throughout the pages I've read thus far. He mentioned that his feeling associated with the word "woman" was that of "innate unreliability," due to his mother being away from him for a few months on account of illness (8). I couldn't help but think about the modern practice of sending children to India for a few months or dropping them off at daycare centers for 8 hrs/day so that their mothers can work, and how drastic of an effect it may have on children's psychological and emotional health as they grow. In relation to modern methods of child-rearing, I remembered BG 3.35, where Krishna instructs us that it is better to perform one's one duty, even faultily, than performing another's duty perfectly.

HpS - Haw! Haw! Haw! This is exactly how I was raised. My parents were very nice people for the time and circumstance, but I grew up speaking English and had to go through the Hippy culture.

Seems like you have a good start.

.Srila Prabhupada ----- Jung.

Thank you very much for tolerating me and engaging me in service, Guru Maharaja. I will continue to read the book, and hopefully, I can come up with more substantial notes. I am trying to consciously improve in my devotional service every day, as you instruct. We had a nice Nityananda Trayodasi festival (pictures attached) for Gaura-Nitai, at home.

Your fallen servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!!
