Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my obeisances on this auspicious Ekadasi 🙏 / Por favor acepte mis reverencias en este auspicioso Ekadasi

As you asked us long time ago, we send this Maha Mantra audio with my husband Franco. / Como Usted nos pidió hace tiempo, le enviamos este audio del Maha Mantra con mi esposo Franco.

Franco is shy to record, so I send it with much love although it has defects. If I wait to record perfectly, I will delay more. / Franco es tímido para grabar, por eso se lo envío con mucho amor aunque tenga defectos. Si espero grabar bien, demoraré más.

On Ekadasi I beg your blessing to purify my heart and serve better with dance. / En Ekadasi pido su bendición para purificar mi corazón y servir mejor con la danza.

In 2021 you chose Radha Dance Academy. Now there are many same names in USA, India, Instagram. / En 2021 Usted eligió Radha Dance Academy. Ahora hay muchos iguales en USA, India, Instagram.

At first Radha Japa Mandir felt too ambitious for me. But I understood Mandir is my humble house, my temple where dance is my japa for Radha. I love it, it is personalized. / Al principio Radha Japa Mandir me parecía ambicioso. Pero entendí que Mandir es mi humilde casita, mi templo donde la danza es mi japa para Radha. Lo amo, es personalizado.

With your blessing I want to advance with: / Con su bendición quiero avanzar con:

Hp Swami - Hare Krsna.

Radha Narabara Dance Academy, seems better.

Continued from previous node, 16457

Today's civilization leans heavily toward the Hiraṇyakaśipu mindset (even though he was historically from the Vedic tradition/Hindu context).

ASA - AgtSP. Acharyas present histories on the Puranas as histories of real events just like World War Two, but of course, in different Yugas, cosmic seasons, no?

People today may have never heard of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira’s mindset, nor have they ever witnessed such a saintly administration.

I personally think it is extraordinarily difficult and ultimately unsatisfying to live as Hiraṇyakaśipu.

HpS - Yes! If he was happy, why was he always intoxicated?

Externally, resources may be present everywhere, but internally, the question remains: are the citizens living out of fear, or out of love?

Here is the direct tabular comparison between Group A (SB 1.12.4–6) and Group B (SB 7.4.16–18), based on the translations from Vedabase:

Context Overview

• Group A (SB 1.12.4–6): Describes how nature and the earth flourished in perfect harmony under the godly rule of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, and how he remained completely detached from these opulent rewards.
• Group B (SB 7.4.16–18): Describes how nature, the oceans, mountains, and cosmic forces yielded their treasures forcibly out of fear under the tyrannical rule of the demon king Hiraṇyakaśipu.

HpS - AgtSP. Yes, Other bad King was Vena, no? Then, Ravana, Kamsa.

The Cockroach Kings of Kali yuga. Think that the mirror world of the Kali-yuga is the more substantial world of higher planes.

Buddhist: Painted fruits do not satisfy hunger.

Russian, American, British, Nazi, Mongol, Islamic empires rule the little shadow worlds of the sensual realm, but behind it, making it work is the real world of Indra loka etc.

ASA - ASA is esoteric. AgtSP. HpS, Monkey, Piggy et al.

NIOS is exoteric. It is a 501(c)3 Non-profit Educational Corporation, Registered in the State of Tennessee.

If you want to have a branch or related legal institution in Chile, then you need to have formalities with the President, Abhiseka Das. Jagad guru Das is on the Board of Directors. He should be able to arrange the communication to do this.

Seems to be a good idea.

Thank you.

Time to engage in Professional Devotional Service.

Hare Krishna, Maharaj,

Dandavat Pranam. AGTSP.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

May Lord Nrsimhadeva always protect your energy and sankirtana.

HpS/ASA - Thank you. Such a nice blessing.

7.41PM.

In la carta a Jagad Guru Das today we explained a lot about our life with this Ayurveda treatment.

Very intense, slow in discussing these Sankirtan reports.

The Janmastami, Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa-Puja, and Radhastami festivals have been very successful;

now, the "monkeys and bears" of Mexico will gather in the coming days to begin discussions regarding your upcoming visits and the organization of the Sri Lochana Das Thakur and Srila Jiva Goswami festivals in January 2027.

October 26–27

Arrival at the airport: 1:50 PM

We, the ASA monkeys, would like to present our reports on the Sri Lochana Das Thakur and Srila Jiva Goswami festivals and the preaching programs for January 2027, in order to receive your guidance.

Of course, we will also be writing to the blog.

Given the short duration of the stay, we want to properly manage the time shared with the temple.

Maybe we can look at it tomorrow.

Would the stay be exclusively in Mexico City?

ASA - Can we go for some time to Monterrey, Gadadhara Gosai Das et al?

Fly from Houston into Mexico and out of Monterrey?

We await your instructions.

Your eternal aspiring servant,

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, me preguntó por noticias del padre de mi hijo, él está bien gracias a Krishna. Hemos estado conversando con algunos devotos, que están interesados en temas sobre Raganuga bhakti, en hacer un grupo de estudio, para estudiar los libros de Srila Prabhupada, en general y ver también donde habla acerca de este tema, me puede dar sus bendiciones por favor? y recomendar algunos libros, estuvimos leyendo Upadesamrita.

Me gusta escribir y escribí un poema para Usted, se lo comparto

Semillas de Amor

(Love seeds)

Hay una enredadera (Bhakti lata bija) de Amor, que crece en mi corazón

Fue plantada, por un hombre de luz

Un Jardinero, que no pidió nada a cambio,

A pesar que sólo había suelo rocoso,

En invierno y verano, con paciencia esperó,

Con dedicación y amor, esa semilla creció

Y esa planta, brotó

Esa semilla fue plantada en suelo infértil, pero la Misericordia,

de ese Hombre, cambió mi corazón,

Su sirvienta,

Dhanistha devi dasi, Santiago, Chile

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. You asked for news about my son's father; he is doing well, thanks to Krishna.

I have been speaking with some devotees who are interested in the topic of *Raganuga-bhakti* about forming a study group to study Srila Prabhupada’s books in general, as well as to look at where he discusses this specific subject. Could you please give us your blessings and recommend some books?

We have been reading *Upadesamrita*.

HpS - Yes, basic text is in NoI 8, no? Then NoD in detail Chapters 15 and 16, no?

I enjoy writing, and I wrote a poem for you; I would like to share it with you:

Seeds of Love

There is a creeper of Love (*Bhakti-lata-bija*) growing in my heart.

It was planted by a man of light,

A Gardener who asked for nothing in return.

Even though the soil was rocky,

He waited patiently through winter and summer;

With dedication and love, that seed grew,

And that plant sprouted.

That seed was planted in barren soil, but the Mercy

Of that Man changed my heart.

Your servant,

Dhanistha Devi Dasi, Santiago, Chile

HpS - 😃 AgtSP!!!

Hope that our little efforts to communicate our Sankirtan are useful.

Hope so much.

Always like, need, to hear Sankirtan of devotees.

Let us look at some more letters..
