🌿🌸🌿Jaya Gurudeva!

Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada!!

Jaya Sri Sri Nitay Gourasundar! 🌿🌸🌿

Gurudeva por favor acepte mis reverencias postradas a Sus Santos Pies.

Gracias por compartir sus sadhana con nosotros cada día, realmente es una misericordia incalculable y una inspiración para todos. Lo sé!

Espero que tenga un hermoso día en esta trascendental fecha de la aparición del Señor Nityananda. Jaya!! Jaya!!!

Gurudeva, solo quiero preguntarle , en su experiencia y conocimiento, que sucede con los practicantes de Bhakti Yoga que en esta vida no pueden ir al Santo dham?

Nosotros estamos bien, animados, siempre entusiasmados. Es increíble como, por la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada, tenemos la oportunidad siempre de acercar almas a la Conciencia de Krishna.

Gracias a usted también Gurudeva.

Por favor disculpe nuestras ofensas.

🌿🌸🌿Que El Señor Krishna lo cuide y proteja de cerquita. 🌿🌸🌿

*le comparto una foto con la santa devota GURU GOVINDA. Tuve la bendición de conocerla en mi paso por Iskcon Santiago. Admirable la determinación y el entusiasmo infinito que tiene para servir a esta misión.

Su sirvienta, Jahnava Devi dasi. 💙

🌿🌸🌿Jaya Gurudeva!

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada!!

Jaya Sri Sri Nitay Gourasundar! 🌿🌸🌿

Gurudeva please accept my prostrating obeisances at Your Holy Feet.

hps/asa - i understand, agtSP, that in our original forms we all have holy, sat cit ananda, feet. now we seem to have rather ordinary clean feet. how about your good self???

but srila prabhupada is pulling us, so maybe some value in watching feet of iskcon members, no?

Thank you for sharing your sadhana with us every day, it really is an incalculable mercy and an inspiration to all. I know!

asa 🐷 You see good qualities even in hypocrites. agtSP and his iskcon.

I hope you have a beautiful day on this momentous date of the appearance of Lord Nityananda. Jaya!! Jaya!!!

Gurudeva, I just want to ask you, in your experience and knowledge, what happens to the Bhakti Yoga practitioners who in this life cannot go to the Holy Dham?

We are fine, encouraged, always enthusiastic. It is incredible how, by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, we always have the opportunity to bring souls closer to Krishna Consciousness.

Thank you too Gurudeva.

Please excuse our offenses.

🌿🌸🌿May Lord Krishna watch over you and protect you closely. 🌿🌸🌿

hps/asa - thank you prabhu!!! your association is very powerful energy for us.

we hope you go on to more and more perfection... bhaktivedanta...

in a very, very, very general sense, it seems to us that there is a certain potency in dragging our gross bodies to the holy dhamas eg vrndavan and mayapura...

eg. mitra vinda, divya drsti dd et al.

sincere desire to go there and transportation miracle may happen!!!

yet same level of sincere effort may produce same or even more realization by serving in iskcon centers outside of india. 🎏

o. k.?

*I share a photo with the holy devotee GURU GOVINDA. I had the blessing of meeting her during my time at Iskcon Santiago. Admirable is her determination and infinite enthusiasm to serve this mission.

hps/asa - we wish her all success and hope she has completely beaten into eternal oblivion the shocking experience she had when she was attacked by piyari mohana possessed by satan!!!

and if anything like that ever happens to her or me or you in the future we will scream, "hare krsna, hare rama" 💥 and satan will end up like dhenukasura!!!

hope pmd also has paid for his mistakes!

o.k?

Your servant, Jahnava Devi dasi. 💙

hare krsna. hare rama.

just chant one time and KRSNA will help us.

all we want is to be helping the vraja vasis, sankirtan party.

Hare Krsna!

Need one more blade of grass to carpet Vraja?

En este glorioso día de su Sri Vyasapuja, por favor permítame Glorificarlo:

Estuve meditando la mejor manera de expresar todo el Amor que siento a UD. Querido Gurudev, .. reflexionaba en el verso del Bhagavat Gita 7.1 "la Suprema personalidad de Dios dijo: ahora oye, ! Oh hijo de Prtha! cómo mediante de la práctica del yoga con plena Conciencia de mi, con la mente apegada a mi, podrás conocerme por completo, libre de dudas " querido Gurudev, dentro de todas las tribulaciones del mundo material y los ataques de Maya, entender que todo que Krishna hace y permite es bueno!!! no es fácil, pero, la plena Fe en ud el Devoto puro de Krishna que siempre está orando por nosotros para que Krishna nos dé la inteligencia para llegar a la vida espiritual, eternamente Feliz!!!

no tengo mucha internet, pero, tengo mis antiguas clases de Sankirtan, cuando habían reuniones de Sankirtaneros en Perú, me tropeze con una hermosa carta de un Maestro Espiritual a su Discípulo, la carta decía así: " conozco tu miseria, las luchas y tribulaciones de tu alma, las diferencias y las enfermedades de tu cuerpo sé de tu vilesa, de tus pecados y te digo lo mismo: Dame tu Corazón, Amame como eres .. si esperas ser un angel para abandonarte al Amor no me amarás nunca, aún si eres vil en la práctica del deber y la virtud, si vuelves a caer en aquellas culpas que quisieras no cometer más, no te permito de no amarme, Amame como eres, quiero el amor de tu pobre corazón, no esperes ser perfecto no me amarás nunca.. acaso no podría hacer de cada gramo de arena un angel radiante de purezas de nobleza y amor?

deja que te ame quiero tu corazón, ciertamente que deseo con el tiempo transformarte! pero, ahora te amo como eres, quiero que de los harapos subas con un gran grito: Krishna te Amo!! quiero únicamente el canto de tu corazón, no necesito ni tu ciencia ni tu talento, una sola cosa me importa "verte trabajar con Amor por Dios" . hoy estoy ante las puertas de tu corazón como un mendigo, llamo y espero, apúrate a abrirme. no llegues tu miseria, si conocieras perfectamente tu indigencia moririas de dolor, lo que me heriría el corazón sería el verte dudar y no tenerme confianza, quiero que pienses en mi a cada hora del día y de la noche, quiero que hagas la acción más insignificante sólo por amor, cuento contigo para darme alegría, no te preocupes por poseer virtudes te daré las mías, cuando tengas que sufrir te daré fuerzas... pero, recuerda: Amame como eres, cualquier cosa que suceda, no esperes ser santo para abandonarte al Amor no me amarás nunca! vamos, vamos, cantando, cantando Krishna!!!

Gracias eternas querido y Amado Gurudev, por el amor que nos está dando, que es la fuerza para seguir adelante en mi torpe e inútil vida!!!

Su insignificante sirvienta

On this glorious day of your Sri Vyasapuja, please allow me to Glorify you:

I was meditating on the best way to express all the Love I feel for you. Dear Gurudev, .. I was reflecting on the verse of Bhagavat Gita 7.1 "The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Now hear, O son of Prtha! How through the practice of yoga with full Consciousness of me, with the mind attached to me, you will be able to know me completely, free of doubts" Dear Gurudev, within all the tribulations of the material world and the attacks of Maya, understanding that everything that Krishna does and allows is good!!! is not easy, but, full Faith in you, the pure Devotee of Krishna who is always praying for us so that Krishna gives us the intelligence to reach the spiritual life, eternally Happy!!!

HpS - we already have that life! just have to get back to it, today, no?

I don't have much internet, but I have my old Sankirtan classes, when there were meetings of Sankirtaners in Peru, I came across a beautiful letter from a Spiritual Master to his Disciple, the letter said like this: "I know your misery, the struggles and tribulations of your soul, the differences and illnesses of your body, I know of your vileness, of your sins and I tell you the same: Give me your Heart, Love me as you are... if you expect to be an angel to abandon yourself to Love you will never love me, even if you are vile in the practice of duty and virtue, if you fall again into those faults that you would like not to commit anymore, I will not allow you to not love me, Love me as you are, I want the love of your poor heart, do not expect to be perfect you will never love me... could I not make of each gram of sand a radiant angel of purity of nobility and love?

Let me love you, I want your heart, I certainly wish to transform you with time! But, now I love you ... You are, I want you to rise from the rags with a great cry: Krishna I love you!! I only want the song of your heart, I do not need your science or your talent, only one thing matters to me "to see you work with Love for God". Today I am at the doors of your heart like a beggar, I knock and wait, hurry to open for me. Do not let your misery come, if you knew perfectly your indigence you would die of pain, what would hurt my heart would be to see you doubt and not trust me, I want you to think of me every hour of the day and night, I want you to do the most insignificant action only for love, I count on you to give me joy, do not worry about possessing virtues I will give you mine, when you have to suffer I will give you strength... but, remember: Love me as you are, whatever happens, do not wait to be a saint to abandon yourself to Love you will never love me! Come on, come on, singing, singing Krishna!!!

Eternal thanks dear and Beloved Gurudev, for the love you are giving us, which is the strength to continue forward in my clumsy and useless life!!!

Your insignificant servant

HpS - Great letter. Seems like Lord Caitanya talking to Sarva bhauma Bhattachary!!!

Hope you get 600% help in your Sankirtan and all of your efforts to give the greatest good to everyone!!

What's next for you!?

Krsna uses you as a tool!

What's next!

Hope you have perfect association with Lima Yatra and everyone!!!!!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, PamhO, AGtSP

We were thinking for us to give us an identity whom we can follow. Just like in your case , you mediate on "Hanumat" as servant of "Hanumat Presak" and then got inspiration from them initiated things like Kapi-Dhavja, Anjana Suta.

Our name is Hayagriva Avatar Das, now we dont have enough information from Srila Prabhupada books about Hayagriva Avatar.

So, how should we meditate on our identity?

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!! Start with the general principle of Hayagriva Avatar. What kind of relation does he have to ISKCON, Sankirtan, Krsna, in general.

Then more precise focus may come!!

We somehow believe Identity will make us our sadhana better.

HpS - Seems like one essential aspect.

we have submitted our report of 2024 on https://monkeywarrior.com/reports/detail/612/

all we can think our entity as given in image

HpS - Thank you. We will look for it!!!

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

please accept my respectful obeisances and all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I just writing because your disciple Arjuna Das from Chile ask me the favor to send his annual report to you, it goes after this message.

Your aspiring servant,

HpS - Thank you for the news. What are the names of the Devotees and the donkey...??

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I am attaching the images in JPEG format. Sorry for the wrong format Guru Maharaja. I uploaded them from my iPhone and it seems to have uploaded in HEIC format.

Some introduction to our deities.

Our main deity is Nitai Navadwip-chandra. It has been 6 years since we welcomed Them.

We have Gopal on the right and Jagannath on the left. A devotee gave us Jagannath as a gift when we did our house warming after some remodeling one and half years back.

She wanted to give the whole set along with Baladev and Subadra but Divya was expecting and we didn't think we would be able to take good care of Them. So we just accepted Jagannath and consider him to be all three. The small Gopal next to Damodar was gifted to us by my father in law. It is a custom in marriages for the father in law to give the deity to the son in law for worship.

HpS - Super. In Manipura I think they often worship Lord Jagannatha alone and call Him, Jagat Bandu!

Our main focus since moving next to the temple has been the service of Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji. When Jananivas prabhu was here a couple of years back, he said that everyone near the temple should focus on the worship of the deities in the temple and the deities at home are considered the parthibhu deities of the temple deities and accept worship from the temple.

I have 3 months of paternity that I can take before Manjari's first birthday, which is the 28-June. So I will be taking it from April to June. We are traveling to India on 7-Apr and will be back on 20-Jul. The thithi for the first birthday for the kids is on 16-Jul. We will celebrate that in India and return back to Dallas.

We are flying from Dallas to Del and will visit Vrindavan before going to Chennai. Vishaka and Dhasarathi will travel with us. Srirama will join later. My parents, Divya's parent's and Vishaka's grand mother will meet us in Delhi and we will go to Vrindavan together and spend 5 days there. This will be the first time in Vrindavan for Divya's parents and Vishaka's grandmother.

We seek your blessings and mercy so that we may gain entrance into Vrindavan and be able to spend our time in the dham in the right consciousness. We always fondly remembering our time with you in Radhakund. We are hoping we can give everyone a similar experience of Vrindavan so that they may be able to carry it with them.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HpS - Punya bhumi... India... Super ecstaci trip for you and the family.... Kiriksetra, or Rasa lila, it all means finding our place in the Chorus, no???
