Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 Jaya Jaya Jagannath! Dear Guru-deva Sanjayji, Pranams! Dandavats! All glories to Sri Guru and Gouranga! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to your service! I understand the painful nature of the business aspect of jyotish. I am also reluctant to take Laxmi for the help I give people. When I do jyotish for devotees I ask for a donation to Vrinda-devi and it goes to the Vrinda Trust project. The devotees write a check directly to Vrinda Trust. So I remain busy, but no Laxmi is coming into my personal bank account. I feel enthused that I can do some service to Vrinda-devi. If it wasn't for my husband insisting that I take some Laxmi who knows if energy would be exchanged. I empathize with your mindset. It is beautiful and innocent but Brahmins are to be protected and supported, just as I am being protected by my patiguru, Srutakirti Prabhu. Laxmi should be given as a donation to the Sri Jagannath Vedic Center. You should not refuse to receive Laxmi on behalf of Sri Jagannath as you did when I tried to give you some Laxmi while I was in Delhi. That is your seva to bring the Goddess of Fortune to Sri Jagannath, to deliver Sri Laxmiji to the Lotus feet of Sri Jagannath. <<<<>>>> Of course we are all lazy. I am! Lazy intelligence is recommended by my beloved guru-deva Srila Prabhupada! If we work smarter not harder this is recommended. When we realize what it takes to learn and get enthused to devote ourselves these obstacles will seem like pebbles on the path. Tell your students to continue taking notes, that tapes and transcripts do not take the place of personal effort. Tapes can be made available for purchase. Everyone should be encouraged to donate to help cover the expenses and expand the efforts of the Sri Jagannath Vedic Center. Shisa mean servants, we need to be disciplined and do something to please our teacher so Lord Jagannath is pleased. We should take that seriously. As shisa's, we need to be part of the solution not simply just taking, taking and taking so much wisdom with out reciprocation. How can we expect to get the siddhi required to be a first class jyotishi, without pleasing Jagannath? <<<<< Perhaps I can agree to Dinanath doing this as he is sincere. Earlier Ashok and others taped the lectures, but there were no transcripts made. Thus, I asked them to discontinue it. I am telling Ashok to make copies of the tapes of earlier classes that Dinanath can send to you. Let us see if something comes out of this.>>>>>>> Unfortunately, I just got a letter from Daivisakti Prabhu and she is not coming, but there is another devotee staying in my flat, who is getting married there in Vrindavan. Her name is Vijay Laxmi, she will be returning to Philadelphia around April 20th. Daivisakti comes up to Delhi from Vrindavan usually Tuesdays and Fridays. Dina-nath Prabhu can give Daivisakti the tapes and she can give them to Vijay Laxmi. Vijay Laxmi can give them to me and I can make transcripts. The business aspect of Sri Jagannath Vedic Center needs to be organized. As a brahmin, you can't be expected to be so tangled in this. Your knowledge, time and energy needs to be appreciated and supported. I can be involved from a simple management point of view from this side, here in USA or where ever Lord Jagannath puts me. <<<<< At the moment I am having some financial problems with very high expenses having overtaken the fledling personal economy. The telephone bills have risen from Rs 300 to Rs 4000 and so have so many other costs. That is why I am not using the internet at all. Only a very few messages like this are being sent when I have to. The costs of SJVC itself are very high and prohobitive with rent at Rs 5000 and costs of Purohit for daily pooja and Manager at Rs3000 and so many other costs like electricity etc. I am not good in business and that is why all these problems result. The cheque for Car instalment (Rs 3300) bounced last month and somehow I was able to arrange the money. Honestly, with all this what Jyotish will I do? When the mind is not peaceful, creative work cannot be done. That is why I said that I would be off teaching for sometime. I am doing some planning and rethinking and will come out with alternative solutions very soon.>>>>>> I would like to help. Also for me Laxmi is harder to find lately as I am running Sani Bhukti with transiting Sani aspecting natal Venus, but somehow I still want to help in the effort to spread the glories to Sri Jagannath. So I am emailing Daivisakti to give Dina-nath $100 about 4,300 rupees donation to help this month with your expenses. I will deposit laxmi into our Vrinda Trust account on this side and she can give laxmi to Dina-nath Prabhu to give to you there in India. I pledge to do some seva to Sri Jagannath Vedic Center, so we can continue to drink from the well spring of knowledge and benefit all mankind. We are all beggers at the lotus feet of Sri Jagannath! I pray that all shisas feel enthused to do Jagannath seva. I pray that you can peacefully execute your service to Sri Jagannath and continue to share Acyuta's wisdom with us all. Your in Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's seva, Kusha devi dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Jaya Jaya Jaganath Dear Kusha devi, I already informed Gurudev Sanjay about my idea, if he agreed to do your TAPE work.

Since you going to spend lot of time on it, please let me to buy equipment etc. We, no one rich here but I feel I can effort some expenses behalf of SJVC. It is all for our benefic. I do not know how much, but if it is a big amount we can do little by little. Please inform me. Hare Krishna, Karu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Jaya Jaya Jagannath! Dear Karu, Thank you so much for your generous offer. We sishyas are all ecstatic to absorb and apply as much transcendental knowledge as possible. Thank you for acting with enthusiastic appreciation regarding the sharing of Acyuta's and Sanjay's wisdom. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Someone there must have a tape recorder or do you want to get something else? One idea maybe to purchase a digital recorder so lectures can be put on the internet. I am pricing transcribing machines here. I can get a first class second hand machine for $250.00. If Guru-deva agrees, I will start transcribing as soon as the first tape arrives. I am grateful to have this opportunity to learn and share. I love to hear Sanjay speak this Parashara Jamini, Acyuta knowledge. SJVC could sell tapes too! When I get hear this detailed knowledge somehow it is easier to understand. When I read it, I can't seem to really comprehend, the understanding escapes me. I am sure there are a lot of people, who like me, learn better by hearing than seeing. If it is Guru-deva's wish, you could tape Guru-deva's lectures, I can make copies and offer them for sale in USA. SJVC can sell them in sets. I can open up a Citibank account and deposit Laxmi to the account here and Laxmi can be taken out in Delhi by ATM. I can bring the ATM card during Kartik. Perhaps others can do this in Europe. I have a fast tape duplicating machine. I just have to get it back from the person I lent it to in Florida.
