Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada
Todas las glorias a sus pies de loto
Mis más humildes reverencias
Haré Krishna querido Guru Maharah
Respecto a la última carta le informe al residente del templo pero no me dió una respuesta, solo recibió la información.
Tuvimos una reunión hace unos meses en dónde se consideró para un año mi carta de recomendación para tomar iniciación, sin embargo no desisto en este camino espiritual que tanto me encanta y es parte de mi vida.
Por otra parte me gustaría comentarle que recientemente inicie a salir con un devoto llamado Caitanya Nitai hijo de Jana Priyaa disipula de SS. Gurú Prasad Swami y Valmiki Das discípulo de SS. Paramadvaiti Swami.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada
All glories at his lotus feet
My most humble reverences
I will do (Hare 🙂) Krishna dear Guru Maharah
Regarding the last letter, I informed the resident of the temple but he did not give me a response, he only received the information.
We had a meeting a few months ago where my letter of recommendation to take initiation was considered for one year, however I am not giving up on this spiritual path that I love so much and is part of my life.
ASA - https://vedabase.io/es/library/bg/6/24/#bb1688
On the other hand, I would like to tell you that I recently started dating a devotee named Caitanya Nitai, son of Jana Priyaa, a disciple of His Holiness. Guru Prasad Swami and Valmiki Das disciple of HH. Paramadvaiti Swami.
HpS - What does "dating" mean to you and devotees in your community? Is interesting that is means something different in India, Spain, Ecuador and MEXICO, no?
Nice to hear what it means in Mexico and to your personal community.
If there is delay in the formal response from the administration about recommendation for initiation, then please send us a copy of your letter here with names and addresses of the administrators.
It is very simple matter.
We can deal with it in simple but significant way.
Thank you.
Each of us is supposed to be Guru for so many people!!!
Can Caitanya-nitai Das write to us here! 🙂
Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj Please accept my respectful obeisances All Glories to Srila Prabhupada All Glories to your Service and immense Sankirtan. I pray that the Lord always grants you improvement in your health I begin my report by thanking you for always inspiring us with your example.
My sadhana is good (although it could be better), four regulative principles, 16 rounds and gayatri mantra (maybe sometimes not at the corresponding times) ok.
Worship at home with Lalita Madhava, distribution of prasadam and music.
I am pursuing BS in its final stage (studying Upadesamrta), Bhagavad gita, Sri Isopanisad and Nectar of devotion ok, my teacher Priya Sakhi.
Guru Maharaja please instruct me on how to face certain adversities with respect to service, many times I see how far away it is to be able to have an advance in my spiritual life because every day I must fight with my ego and work on my character (it is difficult for me not to react to unfair situations of negligence) but I know that Krishna always controls, but many times this attitude works against me, how should I act?
I have asked devout brahmanis for advice. I know that the attitude is to be submissive, but should I always be submissive, even if the situation is unfair? CC Ādi-līlā 7.50, I think pure devotees like you can only have this attitude, how can we kaniṣṭa-adhikārī devotees achieve this attitude?
If madhyama-adhikārī is too big for us sometimes.
Currently I am still doing worship service (until two weeks ago) and in charge of the Initiation Committee, it has been hard, we were mainly 4 members and now only 2.
Guru Maharaj this service has been unpleasant for me at times because it demands what our GBC gives us, the devotees think that it is personal, my attitude is to provide service in a favorable way and with the intention of being a contribution, but I think that perhaps I have completed my cycle in this service, you in the previous letter recommended that I try, it will be that I have already completed my cycle?
Currently there is a significant decline in devotees who are not going to the temple due to unresolved internal problems, for work or because they have simply stepped aside due to unresolved issues, that makes me sad.
What is the attitude I should take in this situation? Waiting for your instruction Your would-be servant Manjuali Devi Dasi November 5, Santiago de Chile.
HpS - Hare Krsna! Thinking about you so often and now we hear from you, thank you.
Your question is like 99% like the question that Sadhubhusana from Manipura just asked.
Did Sriman Lalita madhava Das go with us to Manipura one time?
Please read, translate.google.com {?}, https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14443/.
Is O.K.?
There are some details in your questions that are not in this letter to S Bh Das, but most.
Others we have already discussed, no?
How long have you been on the Diksa community? Did you make an arrangement with GBC et al for how long you would do it?
So many times we have suggested that that is essential aspect of administrative service.
Please, give us your comments on letter to S.Bh. Das.
Any news from, dreams of your father?
Hare Krishna, Dear Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Maharaj, we are sincerely praying to Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra for your good health and long life.
Hope to get your divine darshan again soon in Manipur.
HpS - As soon, agtSP, as I read this, tears come to my eyes. So, sad, but... it is like https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/11/, our separation is only temporary. We are eternally related.
Krsna goes to Hastinapura for some time but then He returns to Dvaraka!
Last night, in my dream, Maharaj [H. H. B. S Damodara Swami? or us?] was present in the Brahmachari Ashram of ISKCON Manipur, and Maharaj was trying to send some messages to your Blog from my computer and you were indicating me to send it. Thinking that this is an indication to write something to you, I am writing this letter to you Maharaj. Long time I have been out of touch with you. Kindly forgive me for that.
HpS - 😿
We hear that there is a terrible internet block, but fortunately we get some news from Sarad bhihari and Yamunesvara et al.
Recently, few days ago, we had an online meeting with the concerned ISKCON leaders of the Eastern India for the approval of the Guruship of H. H. Bhakti Ananda Haridasa Goswami Maharaj. No positive result from the meeting. We have to again wait for another 6-7 months.
I have been regularly attending our Eastern India’s Divisional Council meetings. What I experience from those meetings is that – most of the leaders are very aggressive, not afraid of criticizing/offending exalted pure devotees, and are not respectful of the devotees.
Whenever, I am in such kind of meetings, I am very much afraid of myself whether I am in the midst of critics/offenders of the devotees. Please guide me on this matter Maharaj.
HpS - Not just, agtSP, you, myself, other Sannyasis and even many GBC Secretaries that we know express their distress with GBC meetings.
That is one point that these are meetings in the mode of passion, administration, men, money, family relations.
Srila Prabhupada says that fighting is a necessary part of family life, so no one should be to disturbed by it.
... but the Sannyasa, Brahminical culture should govern the administrative culture. The strong, pure character of ISKCON Brahmanas, Sannyasis, who do not get too much involved with the details of men and money, should give the perspective to these "dirty and lusty" activities. 🙂
Did you pass stool and urine today?
Of course, I did.
We all do.
It is necessary, but it should be regulated in social, polite perspective by higher Chakras.
Is O.K.?
Participate from Ksatriya-Brahmana perspective as is proper for your character and Ashrama but beyond that don't be involved.
Be sure that your criticisms and requirements as Brahmana are properly expressed and then depend upon Brahminical work like this Blog and Krsna and Balarama's Vrndavana Demon killing activities to take care of the rest.
In Vrndavana (ISKCON?) only Krsna and Balarama kill demons. Of course, they may enter our bodies and minds to do it, but then it is obvious that They have taken control.
Everyone else calls: Hare Krsna! Hare Rama! Hare Krsna! Hare Rama!
We learn love of Srila Prabhupada from our Guru Maharaj. We get strength to serve Srila Prabhupada more and more from our Guru Maharaj. But our Guru Maharaj is no more physically present amongst us. Because of my stupidity, impureness ……, I am unable to feel his physical presence now and then. We are facing a lot problem in his physical absence. And always thinking – how his desires on ISKCON Manipur would be fulfilled in the midst of insurgency problems, communal riots, strong anti-hindu feelings among the Manipuri youths, etc., etc., … and in midst of very narrow minded, envious, non-cooperating management heads of our division? Please guide me in proper direction Maharaj.
HpS/ASA - We get, agtSP, nice perspective from https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/28/ starting with Verse 48. For example, Srila Prabhupada says: "...when he disappears, things once again become disordered. The perfect disciples of the ācārya try to relieve the situation by sincerely following the instructions of the spiritual master."
We try our best then Krsna and Balarama act.
Sometimes Krsna wants Duryodhana, Hiranyakaspur to have external success. So we have have to let there be external defeats.
Maybe ISKCON will just be you, me and Prabhupada 😅
😅 😅. We can try. There will always be results if we try.
Draupadi was complaining often about Yuddhisthira's not taking arms to claim his rights instead of living in the forest, no?
She complained to Krsna, no?
Yet she never lost faith that Krsna was ultimately in complete control and things would work out for the best.
Since Guru Maharaj’s disappearance, you are the only person who comes to Manipur regularly, giving your valuable time and energy for delivering the fallen souls of Manipur. Thank you very much Maharaj for your love of ISKCON Manipur and Sripada Maharaj. Offences we have committed to your goodself during your Manipur visits, kindly forgive us considering that we are fools.
We hope that Maharaj visits to Manipur again and again. Kindly forgive me if I have committed any offence at your lotus feet knowingly or unknowingly.
Your servant
Sadhubhusan Das
ISKCON Manipur
HpS - 😅
you are damn rascal Sadhubusan Das!
Damn Rascal! 😅 😅 😅 We love Manipur. We love Manimandir. We can only make very small contribution. Your comments make us feel like we should be visiting right now, but we know that Krsna Candra is in charge!
If he needs you, me, he will take us there, no?
HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Such very , very , very nice photos! You should be a photo journalist. Look at things from a broader perspective and broad cast you perspective, life and travels.
Make 1,000 students!
Respects to The Rukmini Devi Dasi.
Todas las Glorias a nuestro maestro eterno Srila Prabhupada🙏
Querido Gurumaharaja por favor acepte mis sinceras reverencias a usted 🙏
Espero que se encuentre mejor de salud y que los dolores de cabeza hayan terminado o disminuido...
Nosotros (Govinda y yo) seguimos en el templo de NVM España. El frío empieza y las lluvias y viento fuerte nos pega tanto que la idea de pensar en un infierno caluroso me empieza a parecer "agradable" 😮😓 Una vez leí que este cuerpo material se adapta y acostumbra a todo... bueno estamos en el proceso 🤷🏻♀️ pienso que ésto puede ser un beneficio y una trampa al mismo tiempo...
Continuamos con el servicio de limpieza en la hospedería. Prabhu Jambula hace un muy buen servicio como encargado de traer los grupos visitantes a la hospedería y su esposa es muy amable hasta ahora. Quizás si Krishna quiere iríamos por unos meses al centro de prédica en Alicante (la zona turística con playa en España) tiene muy buen clima y está rodeado por el mega campus universitario, muchos muchísimos jóvenes viven cerca. Prabhu Kesava se encarga del programa de prédica por allá.
Gurumaharaja, leí que probablemente usted vendría en diciembre (por unos días?) Y luego en febrero u marzo por unos 3 meses quizás??? Dígame qué siiiiiiiiiiii por favor 🙏🙏🙏
HpS - AgtSP! Our calendar is in the Kapi Dhvaja every fortnight! On line at "News" at our web page: www.JayaRama.US.
If we don't die this breath we will plan on going to Houston on the 19th and stay ther until about 19th February. Then ??? back to Nashville for a months for Gaura purnima. After that???
Maybe Spain ? Maybe???? India.
Be Yogininis.
Preach to the innocent souls that Krsna sends!!
Become puppys with Nimai in Nadia in your next life.
Gurumaharaja yo lo extraño demasiado, pienso mucho en usted. Cuando veo a mis hermanos espirituales pienso más en usted, siento que cada uno de ellos es un pedacito del humor, devoción, espiritualidad, etc que usted tiene y entonces soy feliz ☺️ pero si usted puede venir aunque sea unos días seríamos inmensamente felices en NVM 🙏❤️🙇🏻♀️
Mi papá le escribió una carta, le estoy enviando la foto. Mi papá dice que quizás viaje a España en marzo.
Con amor y respeto.
Meditando en usted:
Yasoda Devi Dasi 🙏 (no importa si usted no recuerda mi nombre pero si tan sólo pudiera verlo una vez más Gurumaharaja, yo sentiría que TODO en esta vida tiene un verdadero sentido)
HpS - 😄 We always remember your name, along with Radha prati Jalpa, Yugala et al. Our very sincere respects to your Papa. He is so kind to write to us! A photo of your with a boy? I think you introduced him. I do forget his name.
