Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Without a doubt, this mistake I made has brought me a lot of suffering, distance from the association, among other things, but now I can see the good side, the blessings, I have been able to mature a lot.

My nature and what my service in the Sankirtan movement is is becoming clearer.

I consider my role to be, to present Krishna consciousness in an attractive way, also using my organizational skills.

I do not have enough intelligence and memory to quote the sastras and convince people in that way, but I can help them in their first steps with the basic concepts.

I am reading your TPP and in it I found something I was looking for, the list of the verses cited in the NOI, since you instruct that if one learns all those verses, it is not necessary to memorize more.

HpS - AgtSP. Certainly seems so. The battle of Kuruksetra was about to start and Bhisma and Drona acharya were on the opposite side. Before things started, Arjuna shot an arrow that landed at the feet of both of them, and they responded by saying that if he had not done that then they would each have cursed him.

A lot of etiquette to understand in correcting offenses that we have made.

We hope that the result of these conflicts in ISKCON make us all very, very close to the people with whom we were engaged in these problems and that ISKCON emerges with internal purity and a well seen lighthouse in this Kali yuga.

In fact, at this moment I come from a meeting with devotees in which we did a seminar on the Upadesamrta and studied your TPP and other comments of the Acaryas.

I have two questions:

1.- What do you mean by having a relationship as an institution with ISKCON?

HpS - We take that, agtSP, from KRSNA book [https://vedabase.io/en/library/kb/21/#bb91143], "After hearing the vibration of the flute of Kṛṣṇa, the gopīs in Vṛndāvana remembered Him and began to..."

First they are engaged like good members of Nanda Maharaja's village. They sell milk products, they pay their taxes.

So, we should be good members of ISKCON as a public institution. We should understand and serve the GBC et al.

Second, they would talk with their friends, so we should understand that more intimately ISKCON is community of friends, the GBC are people and they have their friends.

Third, through different transparent via media we should be having a direct experience of SP and developing our eternal relationship with him as our Sankirtan leader.

O.K.?

2.- When you talk about ISKCON transcendental, is it the one who is in the spiritual world?

HpS = Just like Prasadam and the Deities are transcendental, ISKCON even in this world is transcendental. Of course, some people like Maharaja Paundraka try to present a false ISKCON for their own satisfaction, and just like Prasadam and the Deities, we appreciate the transcendence of ISKCON in terms of our personal conciousness.

Thank you Gurudeva
