All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS!!

PAOHO dear Guru Maharaj. 

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

HpS - AGTSP....   ..

Awww....last Sunday the stalwarts of Sunday Nagarkirtan party had all gone to Mayapur to attend ILS meet. We were apprehensive that we might have to call it a day...we kept seeking Nityananda's mercy. Lo!! unexpectedly 3 senior devotees volunteered to join and together with 4 of us Matajis had a blast of a Nagarkirtan about 30kms from our temple. The lead  kirtan singer had to play the mridanga and carry the speaker on his back....besides being the driver!! We distributed prasadam and had a gala time . Thank you Guru Maharaj.

HpS - Harer Nama, Harer Nama, Harer nama eva...    wonderful...

Reached temple just in time for the Rajbhog Maha arti. During the arti as we were singing Yashomati nandana Vraj bara nagara....a flower fell down from Krishnachandra's well decked turban.....absolutely ecstatic!!!!

Sunday lunch prasadam, at the temple, is Rice, daal, subjee, Pakora, iromba and ooty ( local preparations). Guru Maharaj how do we politely refuse food offered by nondevotees without offending them? Sometimes we face awkward moments when we are not comfortable accepting food from just about anybody. Sometimes we develop angioneurotic oedema ......

HpS - It is essential part of our Yoga. Almost any yoga, religion. Tell people that you offer everything to Krsna-murti and the rules require all the cooks to be vegetarian. Then, for Sankirtan, purposes Krsna will accept it.

We pray to Krsna to help us avoid being killed by angry demons, but they crucified Lord Jesus, but He didn't suffer.

Whatever happens, we will eagerly wait for Your wonderful association dear Guru Maharaj. We will keep praying to Nityananda and Gauranga. 

We are in Second canto SB, end of chapter 3. 

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Hare Krsna!!   Pure devotional service, the Change in heart. Really it is only the last verse that directly deals with this topic, no? SB 1, 2, 3 ....  Sat, Cit, Ananda . . .  Brahman, Paramatma, Bhagavan . . .  Pantheism, Mysticism, Mono-theism.

Come with us to the next letter. Who were the "Senior Devotees".

More changes urgent

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP

PAMHO

I hope this meets U in really good health.

The day before yesterday I got all the information about what will be my responsabilties as a professor.. Pfff I almost fainted. I could not sleep. Nevetheless I remembered that I just have to use my intelligence. I left some hours in the other university and made a sane schedule so that I can go to bed early and keep my sadhana.. FMP KI JAYA

The director who hired me told me that he remembered my father when he made the decision at that moment I said OH MAY GOD He continues protecting and blessing me. I must be brave and try my best.

Regarding Bhaktivedanta workshop I would like to be like a free participant. I am not able to do study guides or present a chapter at least for some time in order to get used to this changes

It is weird m Jamvabati and I have to support our father and mother respectively. There is no comparison SHE IS THE QUEEN OF THE BEARS.

But we have that in common.. My sister and I have to support my mom. Three ladies a dog and one cat jaya !!!  STRI DHARMA

Nowadays I do not have time to think in nonesense. While doing administrative work I listen to some bhajam and a class. It is nice and relaxing.

Hope to see U the most as I can during this visit. If not U know that U are constantly in my smaranam and heart. 

This sunday we are going to have some sadhusanga in callao I will go with Jambavati mataji. We are going to fix some details for your visit then post it here

Thank U Gurudeva, please your blessings 

Your useless servant

Oink!

Monkey is dead [but the dead live again].  [See first foto].

He usually dies when he has to give blood!

After giving blood (and urine) we came back and had a nice Daily SB Reading Review Workshop with Harsh. 8.15AM to ...

      We are in the last few minutes of
packing for this 10-week tour!! 
Banks, Embassy's, Doctors, Luggage, Plans....  Oink!

All we know is Krsna.
Krsna is our friend.
His Grace, our Guru, helps us, cookies to Him send.

(See second image below).

Many Latin American Temples have a "Noche de Srila Prabhupada". It is strange when you translate because the only place that this phrase occurs in English, "The Night of the ..." is this 1968 horror movie, "Night of the Living Dead".

It cost $115,000 and has made over $30,000,000.   Now there's a good business, Aye!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Living_Dead

So, should we do a movie, "Night of the Livng Prabhupada!"?

Srila Prabhupada returns at Sunset and by the time the sunrises in the morning all the  "Evil ISKCON Deviants" tracked down one by one. Their doors are crushed and then are all forced to shave up, put on Tilak, obey GBC authority ....  Then when the sun rises everything is like it was in 1975.

"Night of the Living Prabhupada".

Hmmm!

Interesting Idea.

Needs a lot of work though.

Maybe Tarangaksi and Sita-lalita Devi Dasi can work on a script.

Ahhhhhhhh!

Buck White - Well I guess we should stop here. We have already revealed that our words are just moonbeams of a larger lunacy.

Distribute books  . . . very nicely!     !      !.

preparandome para su visita

Dear Maharaja Accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet !!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

All glories to Sri Vijay Gauranga Nityananda Ram!

   Dear Maharaja, i hope you are doing well, in good health, and having everything in order.

My sadhana is pretty active, i attend to mangal aarti twice or three times a week, as much as it is possible for me to attend. chanting my 16 rounds daily as some more rounds. I'm attending to Sadhya aarti and Bhagavad Gita classes after that, I'm taking notes and trying to study every text from the chapter that is being exposed or explain, it's a good way for me to keep track. my principles are fine. I'm still dealing with anxiety and patience, as well as depression. i talked about it with a closed elder devotee friend and he told me that depression may come from the mind being scared of me focusing in pleasing Krishna instead of pleasing it (the mind), and that's why depression occurs.

HpS - Could be. Have to show the mind it is most happy pleasing Krsna!!.

I'm chanting and taking prasadam to keep strong in the process.  My services are good as well, washing Prabhupada's clothes, making garlands, and helping with the kitchen and the cleaning in the temple in general matters. 

 I'm still missing something, or maybe it's just anxiety wanting me to be worried about something to give something to the mind to play with.

HpS - Maybe!!   -[;0]/\___

  if there is any advice or instruction for me to follow to improve my sadhana I'll be happy to know dear Maharaja. 

HpS - Get association in what you do: Japa, Reading, Deity Worship, Sankirtan!!!       Who is in the Temple there?

 Hare Krishna
