All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaj.

Hare Krsna Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus (108 petals) feet .

ASA - AgtSP. Paoho to your siddha svarupa and sweet lotus feet or hooves or...

Thank you for all the mercy, for all the grace, for the intelligence . Words fail me all the time ,in glorifying you dear Guru Maharaj. Your mercy is so sublime, so subtle yet so powerful to be ignored.

HpS - AgtSP! 🙂

You gave us a glorious time with HH Subhag Swami Maharaj. Yesterday Maharaj visited our hospital after getting darshan at Sri Nityananda temple. As we walked the garden with Maharaj and the devotees, we introduced to our Tamala trees, and chose the best one....Indeed Maharaj made a very sweet humorous remark about our implication to take pictures. Maharaj sat near the Tamala tree for a long time and we spent a very, very nice time listening to Maharaj. Maharaj also mentioned some pastimes with our Guru Maharaj...Vrajmandal Parikrama. When the pictures were taken, Maharaj made sure that the Tamala tree should come out nicely in the photo.

Today, as Maharaj leaves Manipur, I just offered some black rice and 2 types of herbal teas...Rosalle, and Tumeric with star anise. Also offered 5 freshly picked magnolias from our garden , all in your name dear Guru Maharaj. Maharaj gladly accepted the flowers and said...this is the colour of Srimati Radharani. Thank you Guru Maharaj.

Requested Maharaj for a pic for you dear Guru Maharaj.

Sending few pics.

Your insignificant servant,

Sarad Gaurangi DD

HpS/ASA - I think our shuli deha has severe allergy to magnolias. 😄

I think he, me, cannot but help remain eternal residents of Mani-mandira Community.

Do you just teach at the hospital or do you also do some clinical work???

Dear Guru Maharaja, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my humble obeisances. 

Regarding your question:

HpS - When can we schedule a GoToMeeting... Zoom... tele conference on this? 🙂 We are in Houston time zone now. 9.30am would be 4.30pm Madrid time, no?

I am truly honored by this opportunity. However, my current schedule is quite challenging. I work two jobs: teaching/assisting at a school and managing (and doing almost all the handy work) rental apartments. The latter is very unpredictable, and I need to be on standby at all times, especially during the day. Because of this, I worry that unexpected urgent tasks might pop up right when we schedule our call.

Usually, my early evening or night hours are the most reliable time for an online meeting.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thank you very much.

Trying to be your servant,

Namacarya das anu das

HpS - When the water pipes break, we must temporarily suspend the SB class!

What hours are possible for you?

Sending a picture of the special message to Guru Maharaj from HH Subhag Swami Maharaj.

The message goes like

LONG LIVE H.H.HANUMAT PRESAKA SWAMI PLEASE LEAD THE PEOPLE BACK TO GODHEAD, ETERNAL LIFE FULL OF BLISS AND KNOWLEDGE. YOUR SERVANT

SRIMAL SUBHAG

HpS - AgtSP. While traveling through the jungle a dog may know the way and guide people.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaj.

Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaj.

Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet.

HH Subhag Swami Maharaj has mercifully reached Manipur yesterday to purify us. Thank you Guru Maharaj for all the various ways you bestow upon us for purifying ourselves.

How do we serve Maharaj in this inferior female body with all the frustrating limitations?

HpS - It, agtSP, is not inferior! He should see you as Mother and you should see him as Son.

Sending some pics Guru Maharaj.

Your servant,

Sarad Gaurangi DD

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!

Estimado Gurudev, espero que se encuentre perfectamente en Conciencia de Krsna.

Le escribo para responder a Su pregunta:

Who wrote the Madhura-astakam? Srila Prabhupada sings it?

Muchas gracias por esta pregunta. Averiguando en google, aparece que fue escrita por Vallabhacarya, fundador de la tradición Pustimarga, por lo tanto no es una canción de nuestra línea. Que bueno poder saberlo.

Sobre esto:

Some songs like Gaura Arati seem very nice to make into dances.

Es una canción tan hermosa. ¿Es una meditación de Bhaktivinoda Thakura, o está basada en un pasatiempo del Señor Caitanya y Sus asociados?

Bueno Guru Maharaja, quiero contarle que decidí no participar en "NIOS Chile" de manera formal, debido a que no creo ser realmente útil en el servicio. Estaré disponible si se presenta alguna oportunidad de servicio en el que pueda apoyar, como colaboradora.

Seguiré con mi servicio de Educación, si Krsna me lo permite, y el servicio a las deidades del templo (una vez al mes). Envío fotos. Este servicio me gusta mucho porque hay mucho que aprender y profundizar... requiere de tantos elementos; concentración, sentimiento, minuciosidad, experticia, disciplina, etc.

Muchas gracias por Su tiempo Gurudev

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Dear Gurudev, I hope you are doing wonderfully in Krishna consciousness.

I am writing to answer your question:

"Who wrote the Madhura-astakam? Does Srila Prabhupada sing it?"

Thank you very much for this question. Upon checking Google, it appears that it was written by Vallabhacharya, the founder of the Pustimarga tradition; therefore, it is not a song from our lineage. It is good to know this.

Regarding this:

"Some songs like Gaura Arati seem very nice to make into dances."

It is such a beautiful song. Is it a meditation by Bhaktivinoda Thakura, or is it based on a pastime of Lord Caitanya and His associates?

HpSwami - AgtSP. Yes. Mahaprakash. In CC!

Well, Guru Maharaja, I want to let you know that I decided not to participate formally in "NIOS Chile," as I do not believe I would be truly useful in that service. I will remain available should any service opportunity arise where I can help out as a collaborator.

I will continue with my Education service, if Krishna allows, and the service to the temple Deities (once a month). I am sending photos. I really enjoy this service because there is so much to learn and delve into... it requires so many elements: concentration, feeling, attention to detail, expertise, discipline, etc.

Thank you very much for your time, Gurudev.

Your aspiring servant,

Priyasakhi Devi Dasi
