Respected Gurumaharaja, please accept my obeisances at Your immaculate lotus feet

🙏

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

HpSwami - We, agtSP, are still struggling with eating too much cheese. Think we have un-hybrid Carnation feet at the best.

AgtSP

I am fortunate to communicate with mother Jambabati and she wants to know if the offering she made for her Vyasa Puja arrived. 

She also wants to know if she received her report from Sadana. 

She told me that wants to know if she has had the mercy that her offering has reached her. She has this concern because last year she did not receive a response either. 

She also told me that apparently she plays something on the keyboard that causes her offering to be deleted and that's why she doesn't know if it arrived or not.

HpS - AgtSP. thank you for helping her with the communication. we feel very sad not to be in touch with her.

Looking at the Report List on the Blog, she is not there. 😕

Also, don't remember downloading her offering from the Personal Sadhana posts!!

Maybe you can collect them and forward to us here.

In general, we were doing five classes a week in Houston Temple, so that there was not time to read the Reports or Vyasapuja Offerings, but they are safe. We hope to look at them now that we are here in Murfreesboro, but... right now, after four days here we are writing with headache, eyestrain and wobbling desk.

Yet, we got water, light, heat, WiFi, car, association of devotees, and class schedule is much reduced.

Packing and travel where five days of intense work! 😅

Guess you, Franco, Gopal, me, Mataji ... we are all in similar situations.

KRSNA is like the sun! 🌅

Thank you. 👍

Thank you very much dear Gurudeva🙏💗trying to serve:

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

There is an incredible workshop happening here in Kalarigram. We are now graduating from long and short stick to horn and sword weapons. Such amazing expert teachers! My body is a lot stronger and their confidence in me is so empowering.

I see such an improvement in me from last year! Physically, mentally and emotionally fortified. They say a student of martial arts (4-6hrs/day of intensive training) especially one like Kalari coming from Vedic traditions makes you shed so many negative thoughts and emotions and indisciplining depressiveness to even stand in class.

Kalari is supposed to awaken your kundalini and reactivate Prana in the body and balance that Prana’s movement through your chakras up and down. It’s supposed to balance your ida and pingala energies.

I can see the results in my health too! Finally after 8 months of this struggling sadhana (4-5hrs/day) I’m starting to experience a little drop of its potency. One lecturer shared that Lord Shiva, who himself lived in the mountains created all these art forms for our benefit: dance, yoga and Kalari!

Now I’m starting to understand why you may have advised me to take this training. It was tooth and back breakingly hard in the beginning 😂, but it’s incredibly strengthening.

First the mind’s forbearance has to be activated fully to not drop to being tortured by the intensity of the practice but instead to rise with the prana and be able to tolerate the level of pain!!! I feel like if I continue to train like this, I could lead an army 😂! 🤩

ASA - The Salvation Army [https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/]??? 🙂

I don’t know of a better cleanse, from somatic release (sweating till all your clothes are dripping) to washing out and dropping out of your system all excess emotions and baggage.

Otherwise you simply can’t get through so many hours of training in martial arts!

You really learn to work with your mind and body to reduce engagement in draining activities and simultaneously channel natural sources of energy like sound, sun, air, and diet etc. to stay recharge…amazing 🤯.

When you initially gave me this instruction I was honestly a bit shocked.

I felt it so unnatural almost, coming from elegant dancer training into this military martial arts lifestyle.

Now seeing these wonderful results, my heart is filled with such gratitude! Thank you so much Maharaj. 🙏🏻

YAS,

HpS - 💥AgtSP... and your Bhakti. Do your instructors et al, know that you are Gaudiya Vaisnava?

Helping with your hearing and chanting?

Manipuri Martial Arts are also accommodating to girls.

Very nice report!

Think is inspiring for everyone.

Seems it may fit in here in The Boro very well!

When is Sri Hari Das coming?



Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

You requested to see my work by April 🙏🏻.

HpS/ASA - Well, agtSP, Tom Brown and Buck White were thinking that April 16th [?], Rama-navami, would be a good day for some sneak preview of work in progress.

When is Sri Hari Das reaching Tennessee?

Maybe we can go for a day's outing to Houston for a Director's event.

Here is a basic plot and some descriptions of various characters for the “Ramayan in a New Bottle”.

American's gods [Godhead?] come from British Adventurers,

old gods from Norse or Greek Mythology,

some Abrahamic mythology (Neil Gaiman’s work),

and new gods, [science and industrial] technology.

ASA - USA and Canada = British Adventurers. Other Americans ie. Latin Americans = Spanish Adventurers, also good audience?

I’m trying to show Ravana as made by extra-terrestrial gene splicing, now living in Dubai, as a sheikh in his golden mansion and golden flying car, owns 9 businesses.

Please let me know if you think this is alright and I’ll develop it further.

YAS,

SM DD

HpS - Sorry, taking so long to answer. Even now we are writing with serious headache and of course some eye strain, but happy. Very motivated by this project.

What about, no great SciFi elements, but just using modern types. Eg. Ravana can be the Director, 51% Owner, of a Global business conglomerate, From South India. Even Ceylon.

Not too many character and plot angles have to match. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Letters answered up to five days ago.

looks like nice report from Subhadra mayi Devi Dasi.

Good night.

Will take a little fruit!!

Thank you.

It seems that with a General like Srila Prabhupada we are kicking Maya's army into pieces, even though we are very small!!!

Dear Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for the continuos opportunity to get your association in live, trough Go to meeting and another media.

Very soon it is going to be Nityananda Trayodiasi.

These last days, I am being role playing, in the classroom, the pastime of Govardhana and some fighting with demons. I am sending you some pictures.

I have also writen a short story about genre [gender?] violence for a contest, since one school friend has encorouge me to do it. I included the Maha mantra. This way, I think the judges will read it. I am also sending it to you.

Still working, day after day. Life is hard and sometimes I feel tired. but thanks to devotees asociation and chanting japa, I am still in the fight, triying you to be satisfied with my minimum aportation to Srila Prabhupada mission, which is the real goal. Practicing sports also helps me. I practice triatlon adapted to my age, body and very few abbilities. Running allows me to reduce stress and anxiety after a difficult hard day in the classroom, with 17 child minds plus mine! Sometimes, I run, sometimes I swim and, less often, but sometimes as well, I ride the bike. And I do it with Nimai and Sarasvati. We all go together but Sarasvati with kids of her age. In the triathlon group, some people call me Purnamasi, since that is the name that appears in my WhatsApp and they like it.

Nimai is almost finishing his last year of school before the University. He still doesn’t know what to study, but his preferences are International Relationships and Economy. He is a good student and, most of all, a good person. Sarasvati, she is 10, very positive girl. Everybody likes her so, she is popular.

Thank you very much for your mercy.

Hoping one day being able to serve you properly.

Purnamasi devi dasi

HpS - Thank, agtSP, you. It is awesome when we think that there must be thousands of people like us in the world now.

You meet all the Purnamasi type followers of Srila Prabhupada and you all laugh to see how much the same you are and that you all are trying to do something and it is not just one of you but one thousand!

Thumbs up.

Encouraged to do your work.

I meet the 1,000 hps types, nimai meets the 1,000 nimai types.

\srila prabhupada has put life blood into the world.

things are changed.

iskcon is going into third phase.

what does jayanta das think about nimai's studies?

maybe try a lot of different things.

what about cinema?
