Hare Krsna.

🐵 🐖

TB/BW here.

HpSwami is starting to get headaches and stomach ache.

It has been a very intense one week tour of Tennessee: Franklin with Tandavika, M. Mina, Kus; College Grove with Abhiseka Das and Mataji and two children; Murfreesboro with NgD, MDD, Manjari, Mrs. Desai, Bhakta vriksa with Sankirtan Das etal; Vrndavana Forest, Bhakti Raghava Swami.....

Today we did NIOS accounting with Abhaya, got the Mercedes running [cut our head a little], NIOS banking, walk by the riverside. took photos on WhatsApp Community.

Very nice. Very refreshing to be near Krsna's universal form.

A few more Blog posts but must stop here.

Find you place in the great parade, as it passes through your brief moment of time.

Hari Bolo!

Tomorrow fly to Houston.

Hare Krishna, Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

We are having good interest in participating in this 4 weeks syllabus.

I'm thinking starting 9-15th november week and finishing 30/11-6/12 week.

I would like to invite also Yadunandana Swami and Gauranga [Darsana] Das from GEV to participate. So we should think in a schedule suitable for this 3 different time zones.

Which day of the week is better for you?

HpS/ASA - We published our Calendar link in the Kapi Dhvaja last Purnima. It should tell basically where we will be during those dates. I think Santiago, Lima, Houston.

Usually we are not so much controlled by day of the week, rather by other Calendar restraints or programs.

See what we posted on those dates. 🙂

After we settle dates I will start working in the dynamic of the discussion.

Thank you Gurudeva.

Your servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva,

Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias a sus pies.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

I am working to formally present a postgraduate diploma in Ayurveda to the Faculty of Medicine. Initial meetings have opened up a concrete possibility. This project has a real medical and academic dimension, but my deepest aspiration is that it may also become an instrument of service to ISKCON.

I wish to contribute to a more holistic understanding of health and build a serious bridge between contemporary medicine, Ayurveda, and a spiritual understanding of the human being. In my heart, I want to offer you and Srila Prabhupada the fruits of this work and ask for your wisdom to guide it with integrity, without using this mission for my own personal gain.

I will keep you updated with the advancement of the proposal. I think it has 85% chances of being approved. Dean of Faculty of medicine wants to do it. So I have huge support for his part.

Thank you Gurudeva for pushing us forward and help me remain in the University when I had doubts.

Your servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Of course, this relates 100% with or upcoming documentary travels to Udipi for filming, "AYURVEDA, Philosophy of Asian Medicine in Tradition and Modernity".

Srila Prabhupada commented to Dr. Ajari 50 years ago that after 50 years the world, ISKCON, would be ready to preach through medicine. Actually our preaching now is turning in the third phase to professional example and teaching.

Our movie will be focused on investigating what Ayurveda treatment is available in India in its most classical form. Then national medical schools and offices can adapt this to their needs.

We are trying to collect requests from ISKCON, friends, about what we can document for them in this movie and tour.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

After Srila Prabhupada's appearence Day, Panca Tattva's Hut caught fire. Thanks to Krishna he woke up and could escape. He is fine physically and emotionally.

Althought he lost everything, belongings, savings. He could save 2 volumes of SP lilamrita. He could find also Govardhan silas and Gaura Nitai from the ashes. Nityananda's head and one arm melted.

HpS - When this happens to us, we think that Krsna says, "For those I really love I take away everything and give them My lotus feet".

'O'[???]

If any devotee wants to give him a donation to help him rebuild His house i will share here a qr code for PayPal account.

Thank you Gurudeva.

At your service,

Nikunja Bihari Das.

HpS - Hope we can be in touch when we are in Chile etc. Hope this is a fantastic opportunity for him!!!!

We will start reading Madhya Lila; 20.165 onwards up to verse 20.190

(Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructs Sanatana Goswami)

The class starts at 7:30 am ~ Houston Time

Thank you to all devotees for their dedicated service to ASA SB workshop.

H. G. Nikunja Bihari Prabhu will help us with Spanish translation seva for Maharaja's class and reading notes of CC.

H. G. Mitravinda Mataji will help us with seva of back up translator in case there are technical difficulties.

Maharaja, thank you for engaging everyone in reading systematically books of Srila Prabhupada's.

Upendra dasa

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. Paoho/bw. ... Posting this to our Calendar to review the pages before the Sunday Workshop. Discussing with Upendra Das et al, about turing to the Bhakti-sarva-bhauma Diploma, which is systematic study of CC.

Houston is starting to do the Summative Examination for Bhakti-Vedanta.

Want to join any of these diploma studies? ASA supports them all.

'o' Hare Rama.

Upendra Das is leaving for India tomorrow with a lot of focusing on this body maintenance.

Previous node: /16412/ /16362/

Hari Bol, TB.

You are always with HpS, he must be physically busy. Well in node 16412 he asked me if we have some news. Well physically we have developed Arthritis so moving body is painful now. Intresting thing is it's an auto immune disease, your immune system your self. Why not.

In node 16362 he told us basic program, four rules are intact, can not sit straight for long time, hence having leaning chair, we chant on that max 4 rounds at one go, as we often doze off.

Daily sleep is around 10 +hrs .

Chanting is completely mechanical.

Surviving as can not kill our self

surviving on subsidy,

students have hazy concepts about meat, beer, divinity etc, tough to convince them for surrender and chant holy name.

May be we are arm chair philosopher.

Hopeful that son will meet us , then we meet you and we might re ignite.

the above section was written in monirng, the current section is written in afternoon. we Saw this Narsimha photo, felt like talk to him. felt energised looking at him. Krsna /Rama is sweet but may not for us may be at this time.

may be our mind is distorted towards vibhatsa rasa, it was our fortune to meet alteast one person whom we can communciate this.

HpSwami - Hare Krsna. Sounds like you are inhabiting the body of a rose bush.

Well, in Braja there are also roses. Uddhava just wanted to be a blade of grass.

Some times we are physically exhausted to that we cannot chant on beads. Then we draw and chant one syllable for each pen stroke and count them.

Haw Haw Haw Ray. The Evil One cannot stop us, and every Mantra has an essential contribution for Krsna's schemes.
