¡Hare Krsna! Querido Gurumaharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias 🙏
¡Todas las Glorias sean, a nuestro muy poderoso y misericordioso Fundador – Acarya!
Orando porque su salud sea buena y favorable a su Sankirtana, espero no molestarle con esta carta… Hoy conmemoramos la trascendental desaparición de nuestro Divino Maestro AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Estuvimos escuchando algunas clases de él y sobre él y también hicimos una pequeña conmemoración en casa.
Medite un poco sobre mi relación personal con Su Divina Gracia. Nunca terminaría de describir toda la misericordia que he recibido de Srila Prabhupada, él me ha rescatado muchas veces, a través de Usted que clarifica sus instrucciones, y a través de Sus libros, Sus clases, Sus cartas, Su Murti, Sus fieles Seguidores, Su voz, Su ISKCON… de esa forma parece que he adquirido distintas experiencias de mi relación con Srila Prabhupada y, en ocasiones, Su Divina Gracia incluso ha aparecido en sueños. (A veces pienso son solo alucinaciones mías, porque ¿Quién soy yo para que nuestro comandante se dirija a mí?... Luego pienso que la única explicación posible es, su infinita misericordia.) Así que, aunque nunca coincidí con Srila Prabhupada ni en tiempo ni en espacio, me siento tan cercana a él, que pensar en una vida sin su presencia resulta inconcebible.
Nisiquiera puedo imaginar lo potente que fue estar en su presencia física, ni el dolor de sus discípulos tras su partida... ¿Cómo pudieron soportar la separación quienes tuvieron la fortuna de estar en su Divina presencia física? ¿Cómo pudieron resistir aquellos que estaban acostumbrados a recibir sus cartas, sus instrucciones y sus palabras de aliento? ¿De dónde obtuvieron la fuerza para mantenerse cuerdos sus amados discípulos?
Me parece extremadamente sorprendente que hayan podido mantenerse en pie y que hayan encontrado la forma de mantener este movimiento. Mirándolo así, los “defectos, rencillas administrativas y otros problemas” que enfrenta el movimiento hasta la fecha, parecen apenas lógicos e insignificantes... aunque, sin perjuicio de lo anterior, debo confesar que, por distintos motivos, algunas veces he pensado abandonar ISKCON, pero me detengo, porque si miro con atención a ISKCON siempre encuentro a Srila Prabhupada en él. Esta enorme sociedad funciona solo por su inconcebible potencia y misericordia, aunque algunas veces me cuesta trabajo recordarlo.
Muchas gracias Gurudeva, siempre recuerdo la primera instrucción que usted me dio: “Es a él a quien debemos seguir, estamos aquí para ayudarlo en su misión” (Dijo mientras señalaba la murti de Srila Prabhupada) Solo deseo poder seguir su instrucción y ser un soldado útil a Usted y a Srila Prabhupada en esta trascendental misión. Muchas gracias.
Siempre a sus órdenes

Hare Krishna! Dear Gurumaharaja, please accept my humble obeisances 🙏
All Glories be to our very powerful and merciful Founder – Acarya!
HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!! Paoho. Thank you for writing to us.
Praying that his health is good and favorable to his Sankirtana, I hope not to bother you with this letter! ... Today we commemorate the transcendental disappearance of our Divine Master A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. We were listening to some classes by him and about him and we also had a small commemoration at home.
Meditate a little on my personal relationship with his Divine Grace.
I could never finish describing all the mercy I have received from Srila Prabhupada, he has rescued me many times, through You clarifying his instructions, and through his books, his classes, his letters, his Murti, his faithful Followers, his voice, His ISKCON… in this way I seem to have gained different experiences from my relationship with Srila Prabhupada and, at times, His Divine Grace has even appeared in dreams.
ASA - 👍
(Sometimes I think it's just my hallucinations, because who am I that our commander addresses me?... Then I think that the only possible explanation is his infinite mercy.)
ASA - Hansadutta Swami told us that Prabhupada said, that the Spiritual Master does not do anything extraordinary. He chants, he gives classes, but.. through him Krsna does many things.
So, although I never was never coincident with Srila Prabhupada, nor in time or space, I feel so close to him, that thinking about a life without his presence is inconceivable.
ASA 🙀
I can't even imagine how powerful it was to be in his physical presence,
ASA - https://vedabase.io/es/library/cc/madhya/10/65/
🤔
... nor the pain of his disciples after his departure... How could those who were fortunate enough to be in his Divine physical presence endure the separation? ? How could those who were accustomed to receiving his letters, his instructions, and his words of encouragement resist? Where did his beloved disciples get the strength to stay sane?
ASA - https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/4/28/47/
I find it extremely surprising that they were able to stay upright and that they found a way to maintain this movement.
Looking at it this way, the “defects, administrative quarrels and other problems” that the movement faces to date seem barely logical and insignificant... although, without prejudice to the above, I must confess that, for various reasons, I have sometimes thought of abandoning ISKCON, but I stop, because if I look closely at ISKCON I always find Srila Prabhupada in it.
ASA - Same for us.
This enormous society functions only because of its inconceivable power and mercy, although I sometimes have a hard time remembering it.
Thank you very much Gurudeva, I always remember the first instruction you gave me: “It is him we must follow, we are here to help you in your mission” (He said while pointing to Srila Prabhupada's murti).
I just wish I could follow your instruction and be a useful soldier to you and Srila Prabhupada in this transcendental mission. Thank you so much.
Always at your service

ASA - 🙇 Even if we don't get it all correct in this lifetime. Certainly SP will tell his senior devotees to drag us onto the boat for the next destination. Will we all recognize each other as dogs in Nimai's Sankirtan in Nabadvipa?
