Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay,
Dandavat Pranam,
Please accept my humble obeisanses unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that I got Guruji Maharaja's latest letter accepting extension of one day e.g. 26th Jan. 2017 for Thoubal. All programme were set up through  consultation with Haridas Prabhu. Now he is in Imphal, so I will meet him today and will show Gurujis acceptence letter to him.  The new initiation programme is not yet finalised for Brahma Diksa two members were finalized. I will talk the expected bhaktas personally within two / three days only then I will inform Guruji Maharaja and Haridas Prabhu. Shortly I will arrange a meeting of all initiated bhaktas for final shape of the three days programme.

Yours fallen servant

============================

HpS -  Dandavats, Sahaab!   Hari-nama Sankirtan in Manipur. You will go with us on the trips to Silchar etc???      We received the following letter from The Hari-Das Das:
=============================================

Dandavat pranam Maharaj, 
Please accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to SPP, SG, SSG & LSK. 
Hare Krsna Maharaj, 
This morning we have a discussion about your merciful North East India Tour Programme. Everything is O.K. Maharaj except the date of Manipur leaving because 26TH JAN'17 being Republic Day of India which is opposed by all the extremist groups of N/E India and observe BANDH all over N/E States, plying of vehicles on the roads are almost restricted and no one wants to take risk of untoward incident, hence, BANDH becomes successful.

We, therefore, pray your lotus feet to stay one more day in Manipur and leave for Delhi/Vrndavana next day on 27TH JAN'17. Kindly have a mercy upon your Manipur/ Thoubal disciples & devotees and advise us so that we can proceed further to arrange Air Tickets etc. Regarding initiation programme, we are seeking mercy of your lotus feet soon within a day or two. 
Thanking you and assuring you of our best services always. 
Your servant, 
Hari dasa, 
Manipur ISKCON, Imphal. 

Date : 08.11.2016.

===================

HpS - Hare Krsna.  So, we will plan to leave from Imphal on the 27th for Delhi, Vrndavana early in the morning.

"Vrndavana-dhama-mahimamrta" by Prabhodananda Sarasvati:
Sataka One
5 Think of Vrndavana with love. Roll in its dust. Love it ardently. Please its moving and non moving residents. Worship Sri Radha’s birthplace. With all your heart take shelter of Sri Vrndavana, the best of all holy places.

6 If the Vedanta does not directly describe Vrndavana, why should that matter to me? If the faulty logicians, who are like serpents living in the Vedic literatures, ignore Vrndavana, why should I care? If even the devotees of the Lord do not understand the glories of Vrndavana, how does that affect me? Even if my heart were pierced by thousands of thunderbolts, I would never leave Vrndavana.

7 I meditate on Vrndavana, where the cuckoos sing the fifth note, the flute plays splendid melodies, peacocks sing and dance, vines and trees bloom, splendid and charming forests are wonderful with many birds and deer, and there are many splendid lakes, streams and hills.

See you in 10-weeks. Let us make a lot of good arrangements so that the visit is very productive. Eventually we can all continue this forever. Radha Govinda Chandra Ki Jai.

6PM

Hare Krsna.   14 rounds. We will chant more on the way to the evening program. We made it to Richmond, Virginia. Had Srila Prabhupada festival last night!!  About 25-devotees here in Subal's home.

Honoring Prasad once a day has been great advance for us. It is austere, but we can handle it and then our health is better, we can see how to eat better because it is simple and clear program.

Now sun has gone 15-minutes ago.  We have to bathe and pack.  Prepare for class, Bh. Sastri, tonight. We answered a ton of letters. Mostly Calendar things.  We also answered 2-Annual Disciple Reports!

In today's letters you can see our Priorities. We wanted to finish ur accounting today, but no time. Tomorrow?!!

O.K. >>>  Bh.Sastri in Divyanama Das' home.

**Japa nama from Panama is working on some amazing posters...

HpS - ASA - The Supreme Comando of ASA is also pleased with you.  Photos also added below.  If you have the case of NOIs and some TLCs that will be very good armament.  See you in less than 120-hours. We will come out of the Sky on a Great Iron Bird.

Hare krsna, maharaja; please accept my obeissances.. i havent write in a long time and pasing de time i feel more and more confused about my dutys and less entusiastic about everythin related with my espiritual life and a subject that i want to coment its about the guru...

i feel a little confused and sometimes i think i have to meet other gurus i dont know if it is because of my mind or mi condition but i feel confused about everything im in a relationshiep and part of all this i think its because of that because im not doing the things right i try to and some times i made it but other times no so much... now i dont know i think i have to chant more and read i know more o less my fails and im working on it but i lost comunication with the guru and im sorry because this fallen condition :/  tryin to follow the steps of the previus acaryas YS: Bhaktin F

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna, Mataji. Are you in Mexico???   One foto of your self and friends.

King Satyavrata had a similar problem to you. Read http://www.vedabase.com/es/sb/8/24/46   from Text 46-53.  Krsna is the first Guru, then Srila Prabhupada if you want to accept him as your Acharya, then His disicples on down to the blades of grass, but the above link is a good place to start. Take a few days to read it. Discuss it with some friends. Then write again!  [and take nice Maha-prasad!]

Dearest Guru Maharaj,

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

Thank you for your kind reply. I am again most humbled to have your kind mercy upon me. Regarding whose association I have here, I don't have any devotee association here, apart from hearing Prabhupada's kirtan and japa on the laptop and Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita in hard copy. But I do really want to visit ISKCON Houston when you come in December to get the most precious association.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya!   We arrive 11.45AM, Wednesday the 7th and leave 7.15AM, Monday the 12th. Have you got accomodations etc???  Text us.

When I first arrived at my current place of work, Texas A&M University - Kingsville, Corpus Christi is the nearest large city, which is about half-an-hour from Kingsville (the small university town of a population of around 20,000). I found a facebook page called Bhakti Yoga Society of Corpus Christi, to which I sent a message, but got no reply. San Antonio is a very large city here, the second largest in all of Texas after Houston, with a population of about 1.47 million people. San Antonio is around 2 hours drive from Kingsville and many of the Indian students go to work part-time jobs there and I also went once. I found the address for ISKCON San Antonio and went there, but it was just a house. I am not sure how to get in contact with devotees in these south Texas cities. It maybe that some devotees were running preaching centres or temples here but left after some time so now there is no active centre. Do you know any devotees active in San Antonio or Corpus Christi?

HpS - We just Texted you M. Guru bhakti's phone number and little bio. She can help!!

I wanted to get a tulasi plant for my evening worship. I have seen a Shri Venkateshvara Swami South Indian Hindu temple, but never found any ISKCON centre or devotees in this area. My parents and I would like to dedicate our lives to starting an ISKCON preaching centre under your guidance. For this, I am really hoping I can get a permanent faculty position somewhere, because my current position is contractual (i.e. temporary).

Your humble servant,

Aja Govinda dasa

HpS - Thank you for this super, super news. Contact Mataji and I think she can put you in touch with good associates.

What are you teaching in the University?   What would you like to publish with NIOS???

HARE KRISHNA MAHARAJA
