Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna,

PAMHO, AGTSP

we are writing small letters, which you can reply at your discretion. hope that is fine, and this is also sankirtana.

HpS - It is good!!!

we hear your sat class, where you were talking about some post in SAS, which you floated and then, nobody applied, and your grace roled it back. our passionate eyes can not see such advertisement. please can you consider our application, qualification and intent for such post.

HpS - Hmmm. Don't understand. Yet, maybe others know the exact situation you are addressing.

SAS - Sweet African Syrup?

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO,AGTSP,

You are great Brahmana who not only knows Social etiquette, but also how to connect people to God at their respective levels.

ASA - Too much devotion is the sign of a thief! Yes...... what is it you want?? 🙂

what we are asking you because you seem to us person who we think knows us best.

Since our wife and kid left, our parents are staying with us. Our father is very much attached to us, and do lot of service to us. seems to be "harsh conscious" most of time.

My father acknowledges power of god like Indra. he does yagya, shrad , hanuman worship.

My mother is tolerant, and just breathing. I am very grateful to her that she read ramayaana when i was in her womb. though not much philosophy or rituals. But i am saved becasue she read ramayan.

but some times he talkes to mother in very verbally disgraceful manner (not abuses).

HpS - ??? Not abuse? What does he talk about??? Heavy metal Rock Music??

what should i do ?

HpS - Don't know the details. Ask others what they think. Chant and ask the Lord in the Heart. Do what comes naturally.

as brahamana i can think its between karma between two people, and just like person who is silent on somebody's rape , can go ahead.

i can tell what i did, I have mode of passion, and As ksatriya, i just fired my father, and said i am ready to forget father son relation, the way you treated this woman. rest details you can understand.

some thing like BG: where for wifes revenge, Arjuna has to kill his grandfather.

please guide this ignorant:passion>goodness. soul

HpS - Again we don't know details. It is very, very, very old relationship. It is in Oedepus Rex. Freud talks about it. Basically, again, talk to other family members, friends, about the exact situation, chant Hare Krsna, and act naturally FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT.

hare krsna maharaj,

little bit informal,

can you bless us to be orchestra man, in his (krsnas) fight scenes, his arrival in his kingdom?

HpS - Arrival in Dvaraka or arrival in Mathura? There are no fight scenes when he arrives in Dvaraka in the first canto. Later when He arrives at fights Salva there is fight. Do you want to play trombone or write the music?

being very informal again.

i thank you for nice lectures, esp on theatre and movies, viola saplin, virat purusa, THE ENVIRONMENT,

even in mundane movies we can see their presence.

movie-pictures in snake of sound (aghasura).

again informal,

people like you are rare, like us rare, and rare is the meeting and hearing.

ASA - Oink! Oink! Whoop! WHoop!

please bless us again all mundane things in this world we can as reflection of krsna lila (even untold) with sound.

HpS - Whatever work you have done in KC has become a part of your heart, even if you don't see much change externally. Eventually the heart will seize control of the external world.

dancing horse,

let us chant and dance in diff time and space. and let ENVIRONMENT connect it

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

ASA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo7VlD66ISM By every service we get more knowldge how to serve better. By the 6th issue you will have solid suscribers etc.

Hare Krishna Respected Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeiscances.

HpS - AGTSP!!!!! Like fresh air hearing from you. Mera bharata mahan hay!

I am very grateful for the reply, you offered in "https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/11516/"

Thank you so much for the answer. I am sorry, for troubling you with 'gmail letters.

How do we deal with these situations in ISKCON where people take advantage of the institution to increment their own personal prestige, wealth and prosperity. I think you have some idea of the particular details of this within our Indian perspective.

HpS - Are we ready to die for Srila Prabhupada? Yes, in many ways. Of course, we have a lot more to learn about this "we". Many subtle attachments "we" have to understand and kill yet. That is first. Understand what your relationship to Srila Prabhupada, our Founder-Achaya is. Then make friendship with other followers of Srila Prabhupada and then 3rd deal with ISKCON, the institution, in terms of practical decision.

There is a French phrase: No, man can sink so low that some dog, or some woman will not love him. So, there will always be value for us and our friends to use with the institution.

Who are your friends? I am one!!!!! Anybody else?

Devotees here, in Kutam, Ranchi are currently not under ISKCON management. However, they have full blessings and supports from HH Bhakti Raghav Swami Maharaja. On 9th September he offered online initiation to around 30 devotees. Maharaja has plans to shift here after the lockdown ends. Here, they have made a library, collecting books on Vedas etc from Varanasi. They plan to make it a big library with as many Vaishnava literatures as possible. Currently all Vedas, Puranas and many other scriptures are available.

These devotees also run a small gurukula, where students are given both Vedic and modern education. There were 80 students, but after lockdown, currently 20 have come back. Education, accommodation and prasadam and completely free. They have been offered land by many different people and soon, at least 5 more new gurukulas in different parts of India will start. The special focus would be about training Ksatriyas, as HH Bahkti Raghav Swami Maharaja desires.

I relished doing small service to Gomata. I learned at least some aspect of go-seva and I understood one thing- Gomata is very personal in dealing.

Another thing- I have registered for an online M.A. (Sanskrit) through IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University). Let's see how things move ahead.

Thank you Maharaja for being a great source of inspiration in my spiritual life. Please forgive me for my shortcomings and expertise in fault finding.

Your aspiring servant,

Purushottam Keshav Das

HpS --- What is a doctor but a fault finder!!! Fault finders are some of the most important people in the society, no???? Who are your ISKCON friends?

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,

The example of Logos in 9th Sept 2020 and slight talk hit us some where.

We could relate to example of Girl, dad and following ISKCON. You might be humble enough that you would like to use you in service of Srila Prabhupada. But the fact is we are sticking to ISKCON and Srila Prabhupada some how due to you only.

In India we seem to be beast, who can not connect to common people and etiquette. We are of not use to temple management except some physical service. We dont have the ability to see every thing as part of Krsna always (some times we do exhibit).

In search of meaning we have waited long, but after knowing the purpose of soul life, we some times fight blame (effort without patience).

Our wife and kid are not staying with us, we some how liking this arrangement, not much fight. Life is not that bad (self-fish) but at least not causing trouble to others.

We know you will leave this earth in some time, we dont know what we would do when you are gone.

HpS - Neither do I. We had a life before this one. How much do we remember, but we think that certain broad tendencys are there. So we work for our future ambience, not for specific details. Eg. next life take birth in family of devotees! Good op for ed from early age and continuous. Become great heros!

we also know we need to spend more years in human life to become more qualified. We will try to pass years by reading your letters, lectures etc.

Anyways can you give us some work we can dot for NIOS, LTE, MOE. Our current state is not that encouraging, but we have time on our disposition. we can invest that for you.

horse waiting to be briddled and rided

HpS - We will put your request before the Supreme Absolute Undifferentiated Commando of ASA and see what they say. I think they want some one for a suicide mission behind enemy lines to place time bombs and then try to escape.
