Hare Krsna Maharaja and Team ASA,
PAMHO! AGTSP!
My obeissances to ASA team and are marvellous service of preach. I hope they are very good and united.
Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to communicate by this means.
Briefly I communicate to you the following:
- Tuesday 25 , day of Radhastami, the class of SBG will be given by Candramukhi dd. A consult: For this ocassion could to be bilingue?, as you see fit. ASA - Yes,YES, Y-E-S! please.
- I sent August 7 my questions (send several for the bank) about of SBG 2.2 to your mail of yahoo. Please say me, if another correction is required, I find that I am going deeper in each correction. ASA - We saw the letter but have not been able to open it yet. We will now get to them because you reminded us. Our progress is slow because we are striking at the base: Regular Classes even if not very systematic.
Listening classes of SBG some questions arose, please If you can help me with some or all I will be very grateful:
1. In SBG 2.2.1 Sukadeva say: Lord Brahmā, by meditating on the virāṭ-rūpa. Which virat rupa is he referring to? is the Sarga creation? ASA - We think it is the virata-rupa described in chapter 2.1. Yes, I think is creation of Maha-visnu. He looks at the things around his house, Lord Brahma, and then sees what is there, what was created by Lord Visnu, and then he will become inspired to build on that.
2.One is not able to understand everything the Guru says. I worry about not having the ability to understand the greatness of SP, not being able to understand his teachings. Please teach me how can I overcome this limitation? ASA - Srila Prabhupada says that even in one hundred years we cannot understand these books completely, but if go over them again and again, each time we will understand more. On the other hand, Krsna is also amazed at the newer and newer abilities we discover in ourselves. He made us and then tuned us on.... and now He, Radha, are amazed at the newer and newer abilities that we are discovering in our selves.
3.Some devotees comment that if there are few financial resources these should be directed to preaching and not so much to the expenses of pujari and deities since the most essential is sankirtan. Others say that if the resources for the deities are cut it will be worse, they say: "If you give to Krsna he will give you back with more". Please , what is your opinion respect to this? Have there been similar cases in yatras of USA? ASA - The Deity worship (pancharatriki vidhi) and the Sankirtan (Bhagavata vidhi) have to go on parallel like to rails of a railway track, but because it is Kali-yuga, the Sankirtan should lead and the Diety worship should be developed to follow the Sankirtan. Chant and apply this principle with the intelligence Krsna gives you!
4.Which is the Chapter or Canto of SBG inspires to you most? ASA - Ha! Ha! HaRe! Which do you like more potatoes or mangos?
Note: Abhinanda d is helping to Aravinda d in the layout and translation of books.
