Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Accept my respectful obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I am happy to be able to find you in this ocean of death and that by your mercy I now have the fortune to be in line to enter the spiritual world.

Of course, it is up to me to make the desire to serve Krishna become stronger and stronger, to become cleaner and cleaner.

A few days ago a group of devoted friends gave me a collection of Srimad Bhagavatam while we were sharing at a gathering. But not only that, but one of those devotees gave me some deities of Radha and Krishna.

I told him that he would receive them but would not worship them until you give me authorization.

They are small, the height of 4 fingers.

I have daily worship at home to my pictures of the Panca Tattva and the disciplic succession. I offer the basics, an incense and a flower.

The deities come in the form of clothing, I am ignorant regarding these issues of worship, I don't know if they should be put on clothes or not, what would be the standard to worship them, etc.

What do you say? Is it good that I adore them? What would be the type of worship that should follow?

Thank you

Your servant

HpS - Hare Krsna. Hope our news here as DTC is useful. Very nice to hear from you. Hope your relations with Temple and such are becoming clarified also.

As we have heard from Jayananda Das and Tamal krsna Goswami, quoting Srila Prabhupada in the BG As It is, it is okay for most anyone who is following Srila Prabhupada to have pictures, statues, of Radha Krsna in their home.

It is not to worship them as installed deities, but keep them clean and can be on your altar of Prabhupada and pancha tattva and receive Bhoga offers and Arati like them.

O.K.?

Hare Krishna Dear Gurumaharaja

This is to give you an invitation from the Yatra of Cusco, for you I could teach a virtual class or workshop (via zoom), for the yatra, we have a tentative date of November 25, 2023, but if you could suggest a date It would be nice, if you could also indicate or propose the topic for this virtual class. We are sure that your mercy will help a partially divided yatra.

Derar Gurumaharaja, we will be waiting for your response, may the Mercy of Sri Krishna always be showered on you.

Your useless would-be servant

HpS - Thank you, agtSP, so much. We will be in Romapada Swami's Light of the Bhagavata seminar unto the 26th November. So after that would be good. Following Saturday?

What time?

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I had a lunch with BrahmaThirtha Prabhu today. He's a wonderful preacher and I learned a lot!

But what was I doing there with philosophers, scientists, and astrophysicists...I was way out of my league. I'm not anywhere close to being intellectual...

He wants to write the book with you...he says he's getting a team together to help.

There is a promising Brahmacari ashram in Alachua...the Bhakta leader is very knowledgeable.

I was planning on checking out Krishna Life, but I haven't been able to connect with anyone for the arrangements yet, so it might be a short visit? And I will probably pass through Tennessee this weekend, if you need anything?

I'm very close to leaving the apartment as well...

And I need to stick to the simple plan you gave in the last letter...

Thank you for all the guidance!

Aspiring to serve

And grateful for you,

Jaya-hari das

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva, Pamho, AGTSP!

I am writing to inform you that I had a very good conversation with Atul krsna prabhu about Bhakti Vaibhava. He sent me all the information and I qualify to take a special exam as a long-time preacher (22). He also sent me a bank of questions for the exam. I explained him that I studied Canto 1 to 6 with you, even up to Canto 11, following your “tava pace pace” study guides, which, although they are not official documents, are of great value and splendidly illuminate the Bhaktivedanta purports. I sent the information to your WhatsApp, but you probably missed it.

I want to ask you a big favor, if you could give me some suggestions for taking this exam. It would be great if we could have a special session to discuss the topic. Please grant me that mercy. I know you have many issues to discuss, I still implore your mercy.

I told Atul prabhu that I have had students too, but the thing is that the exam is in English and first I want to qualify myself and then continue working on the issue of making Chosica official as a Bhakti Vaibhava center, so that I can officially train my students, old ones and create a new generation of students with all the requirements of the official course.

At this moment I have classes from Monday to Friday and also my service with you on Saturday mornings. I need time to concentrate on the topic of the Bhakti Vaibhava exam. Therefore, I think I will take it sometime in January of next year because in February I start all the courses I teach again.

I did not spread the news of this grace that Prabhu Atul is giving me, because the documentation and the conversation was private and I am not authorized to talk about this topic, I think.

Waiting for your prompt response to the topic, your servant says goodbye,

Laksmana-agraja das

HpS - Super. We fell on our head while walking to the shower in the dark this morning and our toe appears to be only swollen not broken.

Seems like our body will make it one more year without eye, skin, ear, hear surgery is we are careful, but generally it practical estimate that we will be moving to the next within 2024 unless we die before that.

I would suggest that you get a study partner and do the Bhakti-vaibhava God Father Diploma study with them as a review of Cantos one-six using the questions as a study guide.

Involve as many others as you can.

Give classes with your partner(s) on the material you are studying.

There are nice devotees like Karuna Krsna Das et al who speak enough English to join, no?

Thank you!
