Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna!!

Esteemed Professor Samaresh Bandyopadhyay,

We continue in a delightful battle with our energy resources and try to establish priorities very well.

Now that the Houston Education Conference is so close we are basically giving up on organizing anything and letting it go ahead now under its own steam.

This is practical too because this Peru Jung/India symposium is coming up very quickly.

After considering everything I have suggested to the scholars participating that we read the Jung-Kundalini Lectures as a basis for dialog and discussion. Here is the first letter we have sent to them:

Hare Krsna!

[2:39:01 PM] hp swami: We have just finished re-reading the Preface and Introduction to the Kundalini Lectures by Jung up to the section on Willhelm Hauer. Again, they are so stimulating for us.

[2:41:21 PM] hp swami: 1. I feel that we are very fortunate to have the scholarship of Shonu Shyamdasi and that he echoes what to us is one Jung's greatest gifts: Rigorous, thorough scholarship, combined with practical investigation, moral values and a good sense of humour and passion for one's own views without becoming proud and arrogant.

[2:42:35 PM] hp swami: 2. The content included in the Preface and Introduction so far is enormous. So many things upon with we could comment from our experiences and investigation. This brings us to the question why are we organizing these Seminars?

[2:44:07 PM] hp swami: We would say one principle reason is to free people from lust, anger, greed, fear, death, to let them taste immortality and investigate aspects of their immortal nature that are not even mentioned in their common education.

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

"We work pretty hard. Many, many times we feel that the ambience is dull and we push to raise it, to make the Sankirtan ecstatic."

Please, can you kindly tell the details of how you achieve that. How do you push it?

Also, you wrote that you are subjected to emotional attacks. What does that mean and how you deal with them?

Thank you very much <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

HpS - AGTSP.  paoho.   AMBIENCE TO ECSTACY: Just increase the amount, intensity and intellectual quality of the ambient sound. Some Sunday feast lecture, you go on for 20-minutes and ask for questions and there are none. Then you go on with more effort for 20 more minutes, then 20 more and then people begin to hear what you are saying and how it relates to them and they ask questions, make comments, think, feel that they want to do something.

We have to listen to whatever life, enthusiasm, passion people have and then relate to that. That may take years.

Emotional attacks: Usually our stomach is exhausted or our waist. We become "depressed". The energy goes down. Our thoughts follow the Prana. We want to eat for our stomach, not for our heart. Our future (of eating and honor) looks dark. Usually we can just force a smile on our face and immediately we "feel" happy enthusiastic. It is that shallow, our sadness and happiness. .. but the atificial "bump" is supported by good intelligence from the years of Sastric contact and so it isnt dealt with sarcastically by the mind.

Smile... "We can be HAPPY!"

Mind, cynical, "Yeah, sure, give me one good reason".

For the Vikarmis there are no good reasons, but an ISKCON Brahmana has so many reasons from the Krsna book. The biggest depression is death, no? We have to go deeper and deeper in our energy sources.

Hare Krsna

All glories to you guru dev

Hope your health be fine.

HpS - Imagine what your body will be like at 67 years old and expecting complete collapse in nine years. Ha! Ha! Hare!

we still alive, 35% Krsna consciousness 30% karma consciousness 35%  maya consciousness.

we are organizing a study group all the tuesday with the local devotees and we started with the NOI. we have kirtan, japa, conversation about the book and prasadam.

 we are opening  with local devotees a preaching center in these área where we live. in Villa GIargino (Cordoba) one of them rent a house and he live there and distribute Prasadam. The name of the preaching center is Jaipur “centro bhakti yoga”.

The idea is to have a Holistic Therapy center but for now all the thursday we have Bhagavad gita clases and two sunday per month sunday feast.

First of all our idea is to improve the sadhana of the devotees who participate in the proyect, have a better japa, cultivation of knowledge through the regular study of Srila Prabhupada books. i need to improve all of these pilars of the spiritual life (sadhana, study and contemplation).

we still here building a house with sticks, wood , stones and mud.

Vrsabhanu Nandini  and i were tolking with Abhirama prabhu from peru about the possibility to go to peru to participate in the programs there in August. we are following the plan of Abhirama Thakurji to arrange everything to go peru. He say it s 95% confirm. hope we can be usefull in your Sankirtan.

Here i send a link with the NOI movie in youtube. then we will add the subtitle in spanish.

Everything that you see, or think that we can correct we can do it.

thank you guru dev. your servant Ambarisa das

HpS AGTSP paoho. We will look at it!!!   Why not use the Krsna book instead of BG?   Print chapters with 14 pt type. That was the size of Srila Prabhupada's original and was very different reading it.
