Yes, 7.30 ACT (ASA Camp Time [camped in ISKCON Boise]) which is 8.30AM Houston time.

Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja,

please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you so much for the letter and prasadam. The illustrations and messages are very refreshing and we feel so fortunate to have this exchange with you. I really like the red that you added to my drawing and letter. It’s a wonderful visual representation of how you enhance and bring color to our lives.

We had a really nice Snana Yatra and now we are gearing up for our Gundicha Marjan tomorrow. Deep cleaning and scrubbing of the heart. Getting the externals and the internals ready for the great Ratha Yatra procession. A truly transcendental parade..there is an electricity in the air and a buzz in the temple. We feel a push forward everyday and a nudge in the right direction.

Loved hearing from you the other day how Jayananda Prabhu would take breaks and read Prabhupada’s books with others. Sometimes I work like an ass and forgot why I’m working and who it’s for and lose perspective.

Been very inspired by watching this again..the documentary and commentary on the SF Ratha Yatra that you filmed:

and then I heard you mention it in a class right after watching.

Looking forward to having you here very soon. I will be in contact about program schedule and temple card that goes on prasadam packets. Both things are developing. Thank you for the guidance in this regard. You have appeared in my dream three times in a row now guiding me as well. First dream we were setting up for a program in someone’s big mansion. We were building a really nice bench together and I was helping you saw but I got distracted while talking and you told me to focus! Another dream: we were on a walk and I could not keep up with you. You were so calm but somehow moving so fast! There have been so many dreams but these two really affected me. Thank you and see you soon.

your aspiring servant,

Nitisara Das

P.S. here are some pictures of our home Deity’s that you asked about. And some pictures of our siksha gurus:) and a carpentry project that was done while listening to your classes. Every time I see it I think of so many points you made and stories you told ✨ they are infused within it?

hps/asa - we are, agtSP, reminded how a real Vaisnava, Guru, like Srila Prabhupada, can build a palace using bent nails like us.

our experience at the first idaho rathayatra, we built the cart with lokannatha das et al, was that if we can only offer a little bit externally eg. simple cart/kirtan, KRSNA in the audience's heart screams at them to pay attention.

packing for the trip.

...

We did not send this.

So much, emotional, intellectual, physical packing.

Now we are in our cave on ISKCON Martha Street, Boise, Idaho.

We published a trip review in anveSaka, and you and Nanda braja Das are honoring Prasadam in the other room of the cave complex.

Thanks to you all.

The accommodations are more than Vaikuntha. They are Goloka.

This is a good place to sacrifice your entire life!

ISKCON Warp World IXrough

cree ford wandered down along the path, road, to the river and looked to cross at the ford.

the river was kind of languid in the autumn like this.

the road was about the same.

it was a little turgid in the air and the beasts and foul of the forest seemed to settle in their nests and just watch their neighbors.

the forest hung over the road and not much of the sun could be seen, but the road was fully illuminated.

cree ford had seen a bear, maybe 265 lbs, and a cree or black foot warrior as he had moved along the road. they had all nodded and waved at each other, 'hari bolo!'.

there was no real reason scalping over territoriality because there wasn't any territory really worth scrapping for and what there was, was sufficient for a little private and communal ownership and grow'n grub.

most folks around here could be happy, with a smile on their face, with just some succotash and maybe a touch of molasses every now and then.

Haril Bolo!

of course he had a mission ...

Hare Krishna dearest Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupad♥️

Do You need me to write ✍🏼 another letter, I'm not sure that You acknowledged receipt of the yesterday's one?

Yours sincerely,

Your eternal servant, Sébastien

HpS - AgtSP.

We are old and blind, and our dog is dead, but we have the stick of the instructions of the saints to keep us climbing.

We stopped initiating because we cannot handle the Karma of accepting disciples.

Tried, but it was making us very sick.

Doesn't mean we can still continue as Siksa guru.

In the USA we have been suggesting H. G. Radha krsna Das in Houston, and His Holiness Yadunandana Swami in Spain (bi-lingual) as two of devotees whom we consider very adequate Diksa gurus under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON.

We cannot get to WhatsApp nor email very well except for individual details to correspondences that we have already address dress dressed here in our Blog, Blog, Blog.

Which avoids redun dun dundancy.

I mean like six people have asked us about initiation in the last few weeks, so many of them and I hope more will read this small answer to your enquiries and find it answers there requests also.

How do you maintain yourself??

Very nice welcome to our Blog.

Bhadra Vardana Das m'a raconté qu'il était présent lors de la visite de Srila Prabhupada en France. La visite de Srila Prabhupada avait été organisée et annoncée avec une grande empressement, et la salle était pleine d'environ 300 Parisiens.

Il a expliqué qu'il régnait une atmosphère de suspicion, de doute et de sarcasme typiquement français, mais SP s'est levé devant l'auditoire avec une grande majesté et a déclaré : « J'ai entendu dire que les Français sont très attachés à la révolution… alors… je propose…

Une révolution.»

BVD a déclaré que l'auditoire était tout simplement effondré : « Vive le Swamiji !»

Il a ensuite donné une longue et excellente conférence, pendant laquelle l'auditoire est resté absorbé, réfléchissant et prenant des décisions pratiques.
