Dear Hanumatpresaka Maharaja, 

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

I'm wrote you on Facebook and was redirected here by a kind devotee. May you kindly keep this message private.

Hanumatpresaka Swami, thank you, Mataji, for your post here! Seems like it will be a chance to discuss Krsna with great purport.

For a nice, detailed discussion of the topic, Sannyasis, brahmacaris, monks, ladies, public and private discussions on this ASA Blog, please read: http://jayarama.us/kd/lte.htm

Basically Srila Prabhupada's instruction for us is that Sannyasis and B'caris are allowed short term contact with the opposite sex for preaching purposes only, and that never in a secluded place.

So, we didn't read beyond the above part of your letter. This is just a fundamental appreciated of the way Krsna has made the material world so we can realize Him in complete depth.

Beyond that arrangment there are details about what kind of work we can do as an individual counselor etc.

We were 'trying' to answer 400-500 letters a month at one point and realized it was impossible. Then by the mercy of Prahlad-nrsmha Das we started this Blog and now we get about 150 letters a month.

Why? Because most of the letters ask three questions: Where are you? What are you doing? How is your health?

So, when we answer that and other common letters eg. can you give me advice about specific family and community situations, in the Blog, many people don't have to ask the question again.

Ta Da!!!

Finally, and I have to update the www.... file above, we have taken to giving Priority to letters with the Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code in the Letters to the Editor section of the Kapi Dhvaja, our fortnightly news bulletin in the ASA webpage at www.JayaRama.US.

This makes people read the Kapi Dhvaja before they write and so, again, they know our situation and how to write to us efficiently.

O.K.???

You can see that we wrote this detailed response to you, but it is posted now and we can reference it to so many other good souls and others will directly read it and tell Mrs. Donald Trump, or the Mother Superior for the PoorClaires, about it before she writes to us.

Again, thank you, and by this point you may have realized that we are 50% mad and decide that if you are going to talk with us then you need to do it with great attention.
