Hare Krsna.
7.17PM here. Long day. Lots of work. Still with the flu like 63%. Nice letters from Sarad gaurangi Devi Dasi but to exhausted to think anymore.
Anantesvara Das' travel agent working on the Dallas, Madrid, India - Ayurveda Trip.
Just bought Seattle back to Houston on the 25th morning.
We are like a dead body being carried by angels.
We smile and chant.
Krsna consciousness becomes more and more and more broad and intense!!!!!!!
Thank you!!
Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja

"When do you get up regularly? "
I wanted to reply to this letter that you sended me a long time ago but I was too ashamed to reply and say that I was waking up at 11 am or even 12…
Nowadays it is very different, I wake up now regularly around 5 or 6 am, depending if I went to sleep early before, I want to wake up at around 4 or 3 am, I think makes my day way more productive, I chant my rounds early in the morning, after I take a shower and also eat breakfast and then I take the bus to work.
I'm now working with my dad making bread and we have quite a few businesses going, many plans to expand and maybe, just maybe and if Krsna wants, we could earn some money with it. I really hope for it, I have many siblings to take care of if the time is needed and if they start to have children it would be good to have some money to help them with it or anything really.
Also there is a little chance that I start working in a school, I did the Cambridge exam and I got a C1 certificate even tho I got a C2 at speaking the rest was not so good hahaha
"Can you lead the full morning program, got basic Bhakti sastri education, cook kitri and halavah?" "
Yes, my voice is like a wild boar so maybe it will not be so pleasing to the ears of everybody but I have some good hands to cook some nice prasadam, also I actually enjoy it a lot.
"What is happening with your career status? "
For now not much, I'm working and saving some money, I was thinking to ask you if is a good idea to wait and do business before it, idk if I would even work at the fild of my studies and now I'm doing Bhakti Vaibhava with Param Padam Das, and I fell that maybe I could dedicate to that for the time being like study wise, and later study another things when my life is a bit more stable and sure what it would be good to do, also I would not like to get much influence from materialistic people in the university, again I don't really know, I'm a fool.
Also after some time of chanting my rounds in the morning and reading some SB I started to have some aversion to the married life and all that is related to it, also familiar life, I don't really know if is due to that or just some other things but every day that passes it feels more like an unwise decision and more of a waste of time, maybe if I tell this thought to my dad he would go crazy and ask for an hour with the psychologist hahaha
As always hopping that your health is good and that this machine that we call "body" keeps working properly, Now I have to leave, we need to go to work with my dad in the bakery.
Hare Krishna!!! :D
HpS - !!!! Hare Krsna. Jayananda Das said, it is not so important that you have some great service tied into some epic plan. Just always stay engaged in something. If you do some service, you can always clean, the material world in always dirty, then 'vidy vadu jivanam', know-ledge with automatically come. You will develop you intelligence more and more and more.
You will have great strategy.
Asked one devota, nice lady. Which is better, to have a husband or to have brothers. She smiled and said, Brothers.
Rise early in the morning and attend, organize, Mangala arati, Kirtan SB, the engage in other things. M-arati etc will become more and more of a spontaneous effort. Always different.
Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja. Please accept these loving obeisances at your feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
We are getting very excited to have you here in New Briharvan dham on July 1st.
Having an intense Purushotum maas so far, covering devotees services while they are at Sadhu Sanga festival. Trying to appreciate holding down the fort as much as going on a journey. I really loved what you said in a recent class about Purushotum mass..Something along the lines of: we are already doing so much so this month doesn’t have to be about adding or doing more rather it should be about clarifying our priorities. Thank you for this Gurumaharaja. It’s been a most helpful meditation and experiment.
HpS - For me too. Home Alone!
Is it a good time to start scheduling programs for your stay here? Aside from Ratha Yatra, our Thursday program and Sunday Love Feast..I would like to know when would be a good day for us to go rafting. I was thinking the 10th or 11th of July but if we wanted it to be closer to when devotees are here for Ratha Yatra it could be the 5th or 6th of July. What do you think?
HpS - I am not sure. It seems that there will not be a lot of people coming for the academic work on the first week end. So 5th and 6th seem nice, no?
Can you talk with Radhika about contacting some Mormons for discussions of Women and Religion - Classical and Contemporary.
Also, how long can you stay here? 2 to 3 weeks or more still? 1 year or more? Indefinitely?
HpS - Got the tickets. Also got the flu! Arrive 1st - lee - lee -leave on the 15th.... zoom zoom zoom to san jose (st. joseph) foster father of God. O.K.?????
So nice to see you back in ISKCON Houston.
Your aspiring servant,
-Nitisara das
Does everyone leave Boise in July? Where do they hang out??
Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna.... Krsna Krsna Hare Hare. Baby Krsna is hiding there, in the Boise, Forest.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances at your sweet lotus feet.
ASA - ... and all glories to your sweet lotus feet, or hooves, or paws????
Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaj,
HH Subhag Swami Maharaj will be reaching Manipur tomorrow. How can we serve Maharaj with this female body and its limitations? We wish to get Maharaj's darshan .
HpS - ASA --- Lord Caitanya had 3-1/2 intimate associates. Who was the 1/2?
Our godbrother, Gopal Krsna Das's father, BhajaGovinda Prabhu is admitted at our hospital with multiple fractures, 88-years old, with Alzheimer's. At the moment due to multiple complications, operation is being abetted. Prabhuji has served Sri RadhaKrishnachandra as Pujari for a long period of time. We seek your prayers for Prabhuji.
HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna!!!!!!!!!! Send them all back home, back to Godhead!!!!
Guru Maharaj....why do devotees refuse to talk to each other even if both are nice devotees? How to deal without hurting any of them? Sometimes I find it strange ....
HpS - It does not seem like a general situation described on the SB. Radha and Candravali do not want to talk to each other, and yet they do talk in all kinds of stimulating ways. Sometimes people have different Varna ashrama nature and they know the Brahmanas ans Ksatriya's should not talk too much. ???
Where should we offer the Raas dance? Sometimes people perform on stage for some formal functions as a way of representing the culture of Manipur even if there are no Vaishnavas in the audience.
Guru Maharaj, what role can starting a course like Bhakti Pravesh help in motivating those aspiring to be devotees?
Guru Maharaj kindly keep me under the shelter of your lotus feet always.
Your insignificant servant,
Sarad Gaurangi DD
HpS - Wow! Very nice questions, but we do not have enough details to answer. I don't know where the Rasa lila can be performed. Seem like in Temples on certain days. Like Kirtan.
What is Bhakta Pravesh? It is not one of the four courses that Srila Prabhupada defined.
Hare Krishna querido Guru Maharaja, Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias a Sus Pies de Loto.
Toda Gloria a Srila Prabhupada!!.
Desde Rio Negro , me encuentro cursando dos materias de Abogacía, una es Derecho constitucional( estructura filosófica de los Estados y sobre su andamiaje jurídico) y la otra Derechos humanos( que busca garantizar la libertad la igualdad y la vida y como funciona la ONU y la OEA, y sus comiciones,comités, etc) en esta segunda materia se ve la lucha intelectual por imponer sus ideas de manera dogmática.
Mis Rondas están bien, es mi gran apoyo el Santo Nombre, estoy leyendo Chaitanya Bhagavat y sobre historia del Monacato primitivo, más abajo le envio unas fotos de ambos textos.
Estoy trabajando algunos días con mi Padre ayudándolo con sus cosas , carpintería soldadura y otras cosas y a mi mamá también con la casa cosas de electricidad y cañerias.
También estoy cursando inglés , un curso virtual que da la provincia a los habitantes de manera gratuita, de primer nivel , y espero poder enfocarme y hacer más horas
Hoy rendí el segundo examen de derecho constitucional, fue bien y en una semana tengo examen de Derechos humanos
La cosmovisión vedica y Vaishnava me ayudan tanto, que veo lo superior que es ,por poder contener todas las situaciones posibles, como Usted siempre nos dice, todas las situaciones se pueden encontrar en el Srimad Bhagavatan
Con Bharata, hablo a veces, se que está enfocado en Su trabajo de abogado y docente, hablamos de Derecho, aunque el a veces nombra y agradece a Srila Prabhupada y a Usted.
Pero Yo me he vuelto muy silencioso en cuanto a mi práctica, muchos Devotos hablan con Migo y me consultan cosas de como veo o leo situaciones, e intento siempre entusiasmar y enfocar en conciencia de Krishna. Hace unos días me llegaron algunos libros para Sankirtan por si aparecen algunas personas
Siempre a Sus Pies Su Discípulo y Sirviente Adi Yajña Das
Hare Krishna, dear Guru Maharaja.
please accept my humble obeisances at Your Lotus Feet.
All Glory to Srila Prabhupada!
From Rio Negro, I am currently taking two law courses. One is Constitutional Law (the philosophical structure of states and their legal framework), and the other is Human Rights (which seeks to guarantee freedom, equality, and life, and how the UN and the OAS, and their commissions, committees, etc., function). In this second course, I see the intellectual struggle to impose their ideas dogmatically.
My prayer rounds are going well; the Holy Name is my great support. I am reading Chaitanya Bhagavat and about the history of early monasticism. Below, I am sending you some photos of both texts.
I am working some days with my father, helping him with his things—carpentry, welding, and other tasks—and also helping my mother with the house—electrical work and plumbing. I'm also taking an English course, a free online course offered by the province to residents. It's top-notch, and I hope to be able to focus and put in more hours. Today I took my second constitutional law exam; it went well, and I have a human rights exam in a week.
The Vedic and Vaishnava worldviews help me so much that I see how superior they are, capable of encompassing all possible situations. As you always tell us, all situations can be found in the Srimad Bhagavatan.
I sometimes speak with Bharata. I know he's focused on his work as a lawyer and teacher. We talk about law, although he sometimes mentions and thanks Srila Prabhupada and you. But I've become very quiet about my practice. Many devotees talk to me and ask me about how I see or interpret situations, and I always try to inspire them and focus them on Krishna consciousness. A few days ago I received some books for Sankirtan in case anyone shows up.
Always at Your Feet, Your Disciple and Servant, Adi Yajña Das
HpS/ASA - super SUPER S.U.P.E.R agtSP. a lifetime in prepartion? for us it maybe 3, 4 or five lifetimes in preparation. spread out. investigate the field. then focus in on your section not forgetting the ambience, no?
Super.
Super!!!
We remain pure. Krsna sends the innocent people and they are tolerant to listen.
Por favor acepte mis reverencias ,.
todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y al movimiento de sankirtan de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Gurudeva , no es fácil el proceso de conciencia de Krishna para noASA - Nosotros
ASA - 🐵🐷🐘 ni tampoco. Aun para Radharana no es facil. Pero abundamente productiva, no?
pero gracias a la lectura gradual de los libros de Srila Prabhupada y con fe podemos avanzar lentamente.
ASA - Lenta pero cada paso es eterno! "nehabikramo naso sti" BG ~2.40
...como grihasta mi vida transcurre en mucho trabajo y responsabilidades por atender y en nuestro corazón guardamos memoria importantes que usted nos inspira a entender la esencia de la vida .
Bhaktividoda Takura menciona que la renuncia externa es el principio de la renuncia interna,
HpS - Super!!!!
...entonces pienso que me falta mucho ya que mi mente se identifica con el trabajo externo .
tenemos distribución de libros constante en las escuelas para almas sedientas el nectario es gratuito , por la crisis actual de la juventud regalamos libros en un a mesa en la cafetería y vendemos Prasad a la comunidad de estudiantes , pedimos sus bendiciones para seguir abarcando mas escuelas y poder ser un instrumento para la misión del sankirtan.
HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna!!!!!!! TlgaSP!!! Pfanrh....
...estamos contratando personas mas cualificadas para desarrollar sistemas y unir los diferentes proyectos con la predica de la protección de la vaca , la familia y la autosuficiencia alimentaria ,somos pequeños pero fuertemente establecidos con lineamientos de carácter institucional gracias a el esfuerzo de devotos al desarrollar el marco legal de la Asociacion Civil NG. Próximo semestre aceptaremos 7 estudiantes para desarrollar proyectos dentro de las instituciones académicas . .
recuerdo mucho que usted menciono que Nanda Maharaja no sabia leer ni escribir pero contrataba un tonto educado para que escribiera las actividades de Krishna .
Gurudeva mi formación siempre fue en templo y entregue mi juventud a este movimiento distribuyendo libros en universidades y colectando para la misión, agradezco mucho a las autoridades por darme la oportunidad y la confianza, ahora trato de tener una entrega con madurez y mas entusiasmo ,cumpli 40 años y lo conozco a usted hace mas de 20 años y e tratado de aprender y dirigir mi vida con sus consejos , , ser sistemático en la vida, el Señor Krishna siempre nos cuida de situaciones complejas de este mundo de apariencias , aprendiendo estrategia y objetivos claros ocupando personas mas cualificadas .
Estamos haciendo arreglos para poder tener la fortuna que nos vuelva a visitar a Nueva Govardhana montemorelos y poder ser buenos anfitriones de los vaisnavas .
agradezco mucho a mi esposa que también es su discípula usted nos inspira en común y podemos continuar juntos dando amor y cuidado a nuestros hijos , perdone nuestras ofenzas no somos perfectos pero tratamos de siempre tener gratitud a sus divinas enseñanzas y eso nos mantiene en esta obscuridad de la era de Kali.
gracias Gurudeva lo queremos mucho .

HpS - Hare Krsna. Siempre Krsna es el motor y nosotros somos los barcos, no?

Purusottama Mes, Ki Jai!!
