Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Por favor reciba mis reverencias ante ud.

Querido Guru Maharaja, le escribo para informarle con tristeza la partida de un devoto en Guadalajara, Hari Vamsa Prabhu, quién fuese mi Siksa Guru, pues por su amable invitación comence a vivir en Nueva Nilacala Mandir, y fue así como por la Gracias de Srila Prabhupada pude conocerle a Ud. tenía un cancer avanzado (lo cual mantuvo en discreción absoluta), su partida fue cerca de las 2pm, rodeado de devotos cantando Hare Krsna tuve la fortuna de ponerle su última guirnalda, tulsi y kanti malas. Una vez más me pone Krishna como sirviente de ceremonia funebre. Como ud me ha dicho es parte de mi karma hablar con fantasmas... lo vi bailando durante el kirtan que hicimos en su funeral. Le suplico ore a Sri Jagannantha y Srila Prabhupada por el bienestar de su alma. Sentí la obligación de avisarle, pues se que Ud. apreciaba su servicio, estuvieron en su ceremonia como 10 jovenes, a quienes actualmente les predicaba. Agradecido eternamente con Ud.

Su siviente Akincana Krsna Das

HpS - No, foto aqui!!???     Dedicate next Sunday feast to him. Have his foto there there and offer first plate of Maha-prasadam to him Discuss his service and do Kirtan for him!

Photo!!

Thank you.

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP.

No we are not living on New Govardhan plantation. In October last year we took a mortgage on a house in Murwillumbah, 10 min drive from ISKCON. Snakes are currently looking for places to hide for their winter snooze. No, no catering at festivals. I'm studying computer science part-time, painting houses part-time and renovating our house in my spare time.

Looking forward to you visit!

Ys

Dhruva

HpS - Thank you!     We are still working on this!!   Is a challenge. If we go round the world it will be $2,000+.  So we are looking at Houston - India (Australia) round trip. Then later Boise (Hawaii) round trip.  We will let you know any progress!!

04/30/17  Haribol Esteemed Guru Maharaja!!  Please accept dandavats and Pranams    All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plans for your visit proceeding.

**Home program at Govinda Priya Matajis and Shankaranand's in Sacramento planned for 6:30 pm Wed June 7th. (most will arrive at 7:30 pm) This will most likely be the best attended program.

**Home Program being planned for Radha-Gopinatha's home Thurs June 8th.

**Question re. June 8th:   I'm thinking there may be some who would like to have more "personal" and less-structured access to you during the daytime on the 8th.  I can word the Thursday the 8th. invitation as:   "Open House" from, say, 1 pm--ending with a program beginning at 6:30 pm  (most will arrive at 7:30 pm).   Or, it can be only from 1 pm to 6 pm, with no closing program Thurs. evening. What do prefer/  Your wishes?

**Most devotees here are householders.  Home programs during weekdays are generally poorly attended or begin late, with taking prasadam around 9:30 or 10 pm typical.  Hoping your visit will be an exception to this.  We will invite, Krsna will arrange.  Your visit may end up being mostly a working/resting trip.

**What are your current dietary requirements i.e  what do you wish to take and what time do you wish to take it?

**Or should I contact someone else to obtain this information?

**If it should be that programs don't actually begin until 7:30 pm, will that be too late for you?  If so, what beginning  time for the evening programs would you like me to list?

**Any other instructions, requirements, ideas or wishes Maharaja?

Thank You for giving us this opportunity to serve you!!

Your Servant,

Kalindi Devi Dasi

HpS - ASA - - Thank you. Any of the Professors from Sacramento State College will be available for interviews? We could also visit them on Friday morning, no? Even stop off in Davis on Friday?  The Capitola Corridor Train, Amtrak, departs at 12, 2 and 3.30PM.

Sounds like the best arrangement would be to announce: "Hanumatpresaka Swami (Prof. H. H. Robinson), Member of ISKCON Ministry of Education and North American Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies (NIOS) will be visiting Sacramento for two days. He will be presenting programs on Education in ISKCON, very dynamic and successful programs with Universities, National Museum of Peru and India on Psychology and the Sacred and generally anything you want to discuss about Krsna.

6.30PM - 7.30PM -- Informal and Personal Discussion,

7.30PM-8.30PM -- Education with ISKCON - Pre-natal, pre-school, primary, secondary, studying and teaching at the university levels.

For related information go to www.youtube.com and search with the Key-words, 'Psychology and the Sacred 2016'

Invite any interested people Krsna has sent to you.

Prasadam."

Then we can leave at 8.30PM, no?

There is a Light of the Bhagavata picture you could use for promo in our archives, www.jayarama.us/archives. Just look for the one starting Lob-32... It's ten MB so may take some time to download.

We are wating for news from Lokanatha Das about when to visit him and Berkeley, maybe go little early on Friday. The Amtrak is only $25. Comfortable and able to avoid any traffic hang-ups!

Hare Krsna x 25.

Organic fruit, carrots, milk, rice, split peas, oats, Prasadam.

AGTSP!

Thank you for updating the Guru-tattva file with Lavanga-mangala Devi Dasi's information and the onerous list of names from Manipura, Assam and Tripura!  You must go there with the Nirgata Devi Dasi ane meet them!

Everyone look at the list.

You can find the link in the Kapi Dhvaja.  Are there mistakes in your information?  There are some mistakes with the font.

O.K.    Annual Reports!!!!

Hare Krsna, Prabhu,

AGTSP

paoho....

How are your spirits and material machine?

We are based in the Boro until 1 June then we are off to West Coast and Peru until 26th July.

We read and scanned your "A Collection...".  It was very interesting and informative but has covered so much territory that we could not get a precise handle on it to respond well.

We have kept it on our table and finally I would make this response:

Your thesis is: Why take Sannyasa when we already have the Bhagavata Dharma of Harinama.

I would respond that it is in the same line as getting married. If we are Suka-deva Goswami then we won't see naked girls when we pass the bathing Ghatta, but if we have some attachment, then Grhastha, Vanaprastha and Sannysas are excellent helps in accelerating the effects of Bhagavata Dharma. Srila Prabhupad and Srila Bh. Siddhanta followed this path. The two previous followed the Babbaji Vesa, kaupina kantha asritau, path, no?

Even if we have no attachment then Sannyasa, VAD, is still good for two reasons:

1. It is a good example for others.

2. It is just the most natural way for organizing the Sankirtan Party in the material world.

So, that is very satisfying essay for us.

Finally, think I got a clear perspective to offer you. See you soon?  Nrsmha-caturdasi??

You know this Purport, Lila, of Narada Muni and his Sannyasa? http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/6/13

PAMHO.

It has been a while since the last time I wrote to you, I'm Lali from Buenos Aires, 25 years old.

These days I could connect to startmeeting and it made me very well to listen to you, it gave me encouragement to continue with my japa, since I was a little bit down lately.

ASA - Ha! Ha! Ha!   AGTSP.  We go up and down 15-times a day!

I wanted to tell you that I'm 6 months pregnant, it's going to be a girl. My relationship with Lila Ananda it's getting better. He's a good partner, although we have different ways to understand the philosophy.

I'm very sorry this year I won't have the posibility to see you because of the pregnancy and my economic situation.

I want to apologize for being so clumsy, for not following your instructions as I should have. I wish some day I could serve you as it should be.

ASA - And much more so Srila Prabhupada. Are you religiously married to your daugher's father????

As I said to you in your last visit to the Bs As temple, I've been feeling for years that you are my spiritual master, you are my guide although I can not always follow you. Thank you for inspiring me to go forward, thank you for giving us your association every day at the fmp, it's vital for me to have that contact with you.

Please, forgive all of my offenses.

Who wishes to always serve you,

bktn Lali.

ASA - No pictures?!!!!!  If your not married then tell that rascal Lila-ananda Das to stop fooling around. He's got a wife. He needs to do serve austerities to figure out practically what his mission in life is, at least for the next 15-years, then get to work and make us all proud of him.
