Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!
          Hope you're fine!! Thanks for reed this letter.
Four principles strictly, 16 rounds, all days but fighting to improve the quality, I start the Bhakti Sastri, only Bhagavad Gita at this time, many things are getting clear right now.. Service, fix decoration of temple dasanudasa fest, and everything I can help. In home keep worshiping SriSri NitaiGaura Nataraj, TulasiDevi and Srila Prabhupada. I have some question to do:
 
1- If someone leave the body, and the family decides cremate the body, but like 3 or 5 months before, if thet put a Tulasi beads, have the same power, than if they do it inmediatly?
      hps - agtsp.  question is not clear.  he puts on tulasi 5 months before he dies?

2- When we bought something, is not prasadam, manufacturated like cookies or something like that, I only offer it with 3 Maha Mantra, because I don't think is prppertly to offer to you and Srila Prabhupada.

       asa -  NOI ¨visayera anna kaila, haya dusta mana", one who eats grains cooked by material enjoyers, his mind becomes wicked.  only offer fruits, roots, milk and nuts. other stuff only what is cooked by devotees.    cook a lot of cookies on sunday and the share them all week.
 
2b- Why when the devotees take prasadam, sometimes say about we eat the Conciousness of chef? Suppouse that the cook is angry. For offer the food to Krsna, Why the food would be impregnated of the cook conciusness?
     asa -  if we touch something the virus on our hands can mix with it.  the world is made of thoughts and consciousness as well as matter. so the consciousness of the cook, he who lights the fire, goes into the cooking.  of course, when it is offered to Prabhupada he adjusts it.  but still the basic ideas of the cook can be there.  there are different kinds of Prasadam even.  but if Prabhupada offers it then it is basically Prasadam.

3- I hear some devotees who chant the holy names in japa and when a new round commence, say more things than the PancaTattva Mantra or say it 3 times. Is it ok? is not a desviation? Why Srila Prabupada only give us the Panca Tattva Mantra, to commence a new round?
    asa- actually I never heard Prabhupada do or say that we should chant the pancha tattva mantra befor each. round.  before chanting hare krsna, yes.  so some devotees chant "nama om.."  some mix Japa with siksastakam verses. 


I wont write a long letter, but my bad english push me, many words to explain my idea. I'm sorry. Hope you're fine Gurudeva, I learning every day of you mercy and your dedication.


Trying to serve in Krsna Conciousness.
