Hare Krishna, Maharaja

PAMHO - AGTSP

My therapist lowered the dosage of my medication. Thanks to this, I'm getting up earlier without any problems. Before, I had a hard time, even if I went to bed early. It's possible they'll discontinue that medication.

Focusing on preparing for marriage has helped me a lot mentally. It's my nature to have a partner, and I will do everything possible to fulfill my role well within the marriage.

I don't know if it's because of this change in mindset, the withdrawal of medication, or some other reason, but I'm experiencing such a deep connection with Radha and Krishna, especially during the rounds, but also at other times. I feel like I'm entering the spiritual world, I feel peace, joy, and clarity. It's a deep meditation, living in the present, perceiving God in everything.

Of course, these are moments.

I feel like I've become more intelligent, tolerant, and patient.

It's like being aware that I am the soul, and in that way I can identify the mind, the intelligence, my false ego, and I can easily transcend things that were previously intolerable to me.

Maybe I'm crazy, haha, but if this is real, I owe it to my spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, Radha, and Krishna.

Thank you, Maharaja.

HpS/ASA - Thank you for this news. AgtSP. We have similar experiences and are also not sure if we are advancing spiritually or suffering from the advance of senile dementia! 🙂

I guess there are at least five other people agreeing with this situation.

Of course: https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/adi/7/102/#bb1084245

If our so called "spiritual advancement" dictates that we break the four principles or not chant 16-enthusiastic rounds/day and don't keep proper company as described in NoI, especially 4-6 and again 9 then we know it is madness.

How Kardama Muni met Devahuti is nice, chapter in Third Canto, no?

Dear Maharaja and devotees;

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to Guru and Gauranga.

Sunday, November 02, 2025, at 7.30am, Houston time (CST ~~ time zone)

We will continue reading Madhya Lila; 16.253 onwards.

The Lord's Attempt to Go to Vrindavana)

We might be able to finish chapter 16 and start on chapter 17.

Thank you to H. G. Sruti Priya Mataji for willing to doing Spanish translation for reading notes of CC and Maharaja's class, thank you to Mitravinda Mataji for willing to do seva of back up to Sruti Priya Mataji, in case there are some technical issues.

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

Your Servant

Upendra Dasa

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Had nice discussion with H. G. Upendra Das about this weekly seminar. Of course, from 17 December we will probably be traveling for three months, so that will allow us to vary the calendar and local events.

For example, we will be going to Vrndavana in January so it will be very helpful to look at how our Acharya, Lord Caitanya, went to Vrndavana!

Hare krishna, Gurudeva, PAMHO, AGTSP. I just wanted to share my experience of my visit to my home town (birth place).

I had recently had a great chance of visiting my 87 years old mother in Nepal.

I was very happy to see her very healthy chanting every day at least 16 rounds of Japa despite of her age.

I spent 8 days with my mother and my other relatives who are chanting at least 4 rounds.

HpS - OM Bhur Bhuvah Sva.

SB 10.47.63 !!

As my preaching service I have been offering regular Bhagavad-gita discourse for latest 15 months.

ASA - ❗

All together we have about 50 participants all from remote villages and the class is through ZOOM IN Nepali language. In the beginning I had promised to them if they follow the 4 regulative principal and chant at least 4 rounds I will personally take them to Vrindavan and Ayodhaya.

After spending 8 days in Nepal we started our journey as promised

To Ayodhaya and to Vrindavan 18 hours of trip.

First we visited the birth place of Lord Ram and had beautiful darsan of Ram lala. From there we went to Sarayu ganga where Lord Ram along with his 3 brothers performed regular pastimes as Lord krishna did in yamuna. Next we went to the famous temple of Sri Hanuman ji also known as HANUMAN GADHI.

At this place Lord Ram had asked Hanuman to guard Ayodhya in his absence while he was in 14 years of exile.

After completing our darsan we proceed to Vrindavan for 12 hours of trip. We arrived in Vrindavan at 9 pm and took rest

After eating prasadam.

Next morning it was first day of Kartik and our schedule for next 5 days was tight as we had planned .

Day 1- we all went for mangal arati and started our journey 5:30 to Varsana parikrama.

We started our parikrama from vanukund to barsana parikrama, Prem sarovar, Nanda gow, Ter Kadhamba' and Aseswar mahadev.

In the evening of same day performed Vrindavan parikrama.

Day 2- Gokul,

Again after mangala arati we started our trip.

First to Bhattron rai (in this place the Braman patnis feed krishna in the forest)

Then we went to Akrura ghat(her Akrura took his midday snan while taking Krishna And Blaram to Mathura)

-Then we went to Dauji

-Radha Ranis birth place

-Chinta haran

-Brahmanda ghat

-house where krishna stay for 2 years

-Okhal bandan (where krisna was tied up)

-Raman reti and at last Mathura(jail where Krishna was born.

Day 3 kama ban

-Badri nath

-kedarnath

-gangotri

-jamunotri and different place in kamiya ban.

ASA - Ashokavan??

Day 4 Govardhan Parikrama and bathing in Radha kunda.

It was wonderful experience lot to share but difficult to share.

ASA - We expect the itinerary this week!

My home is at Hailakandi district of Assam state, INDIA.It is about 300km from Iskcon temple, Manipur, 1250 km from Mayapur and 100km from Chandam leikai. Here in our locality we have total of 6 disciples of Gurudev, 10 disciples of Sripad Maharaj and 4 disciples of Byas Tirtha Maharaj. By the mercy of Lord Gauranga and Gurudev we are trying to practice Bhakti.

We pray Lord Gauranga for the sound health of Gurudev.
