My Letter to the President of the United States
Here is my letter sent the president of the United States on 18 December 2022:
My Dear Most Honorable President Biden,
My spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON (The International Society for Krishna Consciousness) has revealed to me and his other disciples the formula by which the United States of America can use its position as the world's leading nation to lead the entire world out of chaos and bring peace and prosperity to even single man, woman, and child on the face of the earth. I would like to meet with personally to discuss how the United States of America under your direction can accomplish this, which will be one of the greatest paradigm shifts in the history of Planet Earth. I can come to Washington to meet you in the White House on whatever time and date you find most suitable for our meeting. Kindly let me know when will be the best time for you to meet with me.
Sincerely,
Sankarshan Das
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
In your newsletter, dated 17th December you listed the ten offenses to the holy name. However, I don't understand a few of them and I would be grateful if you can explain them.
Offense no. 5 states that 'to interpret the holy name of God'. I don't understand what sort of interpretation this means.
Offense no. 7 states 'to instruct the glories of the Lord's names to the unfaithful'. As devotees we are supposed to preach Krishna consciousness to the public, which includes chanting of the holy names. Then can't the devotees also preach to the materialists or atheists, who can be benefitted in some way?
Then for offenses no. 9 and 10 relate to not being attentive while chanting. However, one can't be expected to change overnight because the mind is very strong. Some devotees can take years or a lifetime to be able to purely chant, if the person is sincere. Does this mean that until the devotee is able to chant purely, the person will suffer some reaction?
Your servant,
Garima
My Dear Garima,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Here's an example of interpretation. "Krishna" means "black", and "black" means "ignorance." So "Krishna" means "ignorance."
We know that Krishna is not ignorance. He's the Supreme Lord, the source of all existence!
The glories of the Holy Name is a very advanced subject. Just as we don't teach calculus to first graders, we instead teach them that one plus one equals two. In the same way for atheists and non-believers we teach more elementary things like, "You are not that body." Then if they understand and make some progress in grasping the elementary aspects of our teachings, we can gradually bring them to the higher level teachings such as the glories of the Holy Name.
Until we reach the level of pure chanting we will still be suffering to some extent from the influence of the material energy. The more we advance, the less we will suffer. This fact is encouragement for us to come to the level of pure chanting as soon as possible.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
