Hare Krishna, Maharaja
Dandavats, pranams, AGTSP
For October 4th class, Nikunja Bihari Prabhu has graciously agreed to do seva of Spanish translation for Maharaja's class and reading notes of CC. Mitravinda mataji will help us with translation, if there are any problems with connection.
We will start reading from Madhya Lila 20.249 to 20.275
The class will be at 7:30 am Peru time and Houston time.
Thank you.
All glories to Guru Maharaj HH Hanumat Presaka Swami Guru Maharaj.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Dear Guru Maharaj,
Hare Krsna...
Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet.
hps - and to your sweet, siddha deha, lotus feet.
Little troubled...in fact lots...by our godbrother going into Raga nuga bhakti. We have quite a lot of cases here...
Its frightening for me sometimes to imagine myself as a gopi...some matajis here take that role so effortlessly that makes me so bewildered...I cry 😢 😢...
Took 3 aspiring devotees to meet HH Haridas Goswami Maharaj...for starting initiation process... perhaps Krsna has other plans!
We are going on with SB reading . Morning we are in Canto 6, last chapter. Pumsavahana ritual. Such a nice chapter ...how we get purified as we start worshipping Vishnu.
We wish to have Guru Maharaj's darshan in India. Kindly give me the mercy so that I may come to Bangaluru.
We had a wonderful Janmastami and Radhastami celebration.
On Janmastami...went to temple ,attended Mangal arti and abhisek...in between we read the Krsna book almost the whole day...through online mode...some of them were so inspired by Krsna book....by your Mercy we could distribute 4 Krsna books. Thank you Guru Maharaj.
Longing to hear from you dear Guru Maharaj...
Your insignificant cakora...

Hare Krishna
Some kids who have been doing Seva at the Math are regularly watching Vraja Bhari Das on YT.
One was so excited the other day when you were mentioned in one video.
He was telling that at Iskcon all devotees were falling on the ground like waves breaking for one golden Sanyassi so they did the same.
He was wondering all week who this Maharaja was and when hearing the description from class was sure that was the Golden Guru he had seen.
On one hand he felt fortunate he gave Dandvats on the other he wanted to kick his self for not getting the blessing of association.
He asked if we were knowing you and if we could provide an opportunity for proper Darshan.
He wasn't surprised when we told that this MahaBhagavat was our dear friend and most worshipable deity.
We always have fresh snippet from your old classes on the phone so we sent him some good ones.
He knew then that being Krishna conscious is the main goal of life and that it could bring immense joy.

I am falling down into too many sweets, but learning, getting back up and seeing, agtSP, gradual, rapid, progress.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Hare Krishna, dear Guru Maharaj; please accept my humble obeisances. Lately, I have been trying to connect with you through the japa program. I want to tell you that I feel very inspired in my spiritual life, and I also feel balanced materially and emotionally; these things are important to me for maintaining tranquility and peace of mind, allowing me to pursue my spiritual life with enthusiasm. I also understand that when I must undertake austerities and spiritual activities—such as fasting and *parikramas*—I do so with great love and determination. On Balarama’s appearance day, I marked the 15th anniversary of my initiation. Much has happened during this time, and I have come to understand that by walking the spiritual path hand-in-hand with Guru and the devotees, I can move forward with joy and wisdom; for the Guru, by giving us the Hare Krishna mantra, acts as the greatest protector and blessing in this age of Kali-yuga, and nothing and no one can defeat his devotee. Please allow me to take shelter at your lotus feet again and again, and to perform my prescribed duties as a human being and a spiritual soul with determination. Thank you so much for the years since I found you in my life; I wandered lost for so many lifetimes, yet I now recall that as a child I learned the *Guru-vandana* song from my father. I sang it for years without realizing that one day you would come into my life. That is all, Guru Maharaj. I have just one question:
1. What does it mean to be a pure devotee, and what is the process?
hps/asa - noi 5 & 6, no?
2. Does everyone have the opportunity to become a pure devotee, and how?
asa - noi 10, no?
noi mentions even dogs and trees can advance by hearing Hari Kirtan.
Nadiya Nivasi Dasi.
hps - keep trying! your on the correct path.
hope to see you soon.
Hare Krishna, dear Gurudev, PAMHO, AGTSP!
According to your itinerary, you will be in Chosica on Sunday, November 1st, and Sunday, November 8th.
If everything goes according to plan, we could hold festivals in Chosica on those two days. I have already spoken with Karuna Krishna Prabhu about this, and he thinks it is a fantastic idea. November 1st is the Radha-kunda festival, and on the 8th, we could celebrate Govardhana Hill (which falls on Monday the 9th). This is just a humble suggestion.
hps/asa - AgtSP seems great.
On another note, a few weeks ago we resumed our Harinama service in Chosica. I had the blessing of conducting that program for nearly two decades, but then I faced health issues. My femur had shifted further into my hip, and I went through several difficult years. At the end of last year, I was finally able to have surgery, and everything went very well. I began walking well again and realized that Krishna had healed me so I could resume my Harinama service! The Lord's ways are magical! My wife, several devotees, and I have committed to holding Harinamas every two weeks, and it is working wonderfully!
I hope Lord Caitanya is pleased with us. We are making plans to improve the program with new ideas!
Please give us your blessings, dear Gurudev, so that this service may be pleasing to our dear Srila Prabhupada and to you!
Perhaps we can go out with you when you visit, to flood Chosica with the Holy Names! And prasadam, too—we always distribute it when we go out on the streets. People, especially the children, respond with great affection. They always recognize us on the street!
Thank you for all your encouragement and blessings for your humble servant,
Laksmana-agraja Das (LAD)
hps - there is no higher service that kirtan in the streets and parks of Chosica.
Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:
AGTSP, AGTHpS, PAMHO
On Monday, along with P. Abhiram, P. Gita Govinda, and Palika dd, we gathered to arrange your visit to Peru. Thank you sincerely for including us in your letters to the younger devotees. This year marks two decades since my second initiation; it feels like time has flown by so quickly.
We understand that you expect us, as your disciples, to take on greater responsibilities, and we find it challenging yet rewarding to fulfill the honor of being your disciples.
We conducted an initial meeting; as soon as we have a formal proposal for your schedule, we will share it with you through this medium.
Personally, I am grateful to Krishna for a life filled with peace, balancing work and the fellowship of devotee friends. Tomorrow is Radhastami; we look forward to assisting Her in Krishna's service
We miss Ulyses; we now have Zeus, and my sister recently adopted another puppy, Apolo, to keep Ulyses company (his ashes are in my garden, where he always resided).
I was assigned as a class mentor. Today in addition to teaching English. I talked to the youngsters about bullying, which has regrettably grown throughout Peru along with an increase in suicide rates, particularly among college students. I told them about my personal experiences and explained that keeping a spiritual life is crucial for remaining strong, in addition to receiving psychological care.
That's all for now
We hope to reunite with you soon.
Trying to be your disciple
