Dear Hanumat Preshak Swami
Please accept my obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Thank you for your kind reply. Sun Wu Kong is story of my childhood and Monkey King is my hero. Hanuman is probably original monkey.
HpS - So sorry it has taken us so long to respond. Hope you can see that the travel in the foothills of Himalaya and then to Spain has been struggle with basic survival yet here we are with chance to read and answer your letter. Don't hesitate to send another letter here after four days if we don't answer and mark it URGENT if it is urgent.
We have heard this comment that Hanuman is origin of Sun Wu Kong and we like the idea, but he really seems to be some other character to us. Any suggestions why SWK is based on Hanuman?
My husband talks on Ramayana commentaries from Sri Vaishnava acharya on Wednesdays. Hanuman's fearlessness and loyalty is most what I like in Hanuman. Sticker of Hanuman is on our entry door and our back side of passport has Hanuman stickers. My husband worships Sita Rama Laxman Hanuman deity that he received from devotees of Sri Sampradaya.
HpS - Super! Many nice things about Hanuman in Srila Prabhupada's books. I expect that if you do a Search for Hanuman at Vedabase.io you find a nice list. You could make an index and post it here!
My husband is from Croatia. Someone that you know and he knows is Namacharya Prabhu from Croatia. He joined in India 2002 and served in padayatra till 2007. Then he was heading a sankirtan bus party in Tamil Nadu till 2012 when he came to China. He is always into book distribution. Recently due to covid in China he stopped and spends more time speaking. He spend 19 years on the streets doing books and feels like its time to slow down in that field. As people are joining he has less time to go out and has to be more available for them.
ASA - Very wise!
You have mentioned you have some relation with China . Yes, I heard in some of your classes on YouTube where you speak about your birth and pre devote life activities.
My parents divorced when I was a kid. I never seen my father and mother was just always in some unknown world to me. I was mostly with grandpa and schooling in boarding school. When I became devote I tried to communicate with my Mom but its very vague relationship. I found devote association as my family and my good husband is my fortune. He is matchless gift for me and my true everything. Learning Confucianism was a part of the educational system for my generation. It taught us some ethics but since everything goes through communist party programing, we got just small benefit out of it. Comparing Confucianism and Taoism I prefer Tao, its more scientific and practical. However, after being introduced with Srila Prabhupada teachings , there is nothing more to say about Chinese traditional teachings. I was a yoga teacher before I became devote for 6 years and actually following 4 regulative principles. So,I was saved somehow from bad habits. When I came to devotes place my husband was there , giving class and I was convinced in bhakti being the most purest form of religion.
I have carefully read the document about Guru Tattva and I am ready to take responsibility that disciple should carry in his relationship with guru , parampara and society of Vaishnava. Meeting you and having your reply message is my great fortune. My mind is settled now. I beg for your mercy to accept me as your disciple and allow me to serve you and your disciples.
