Now RGD is coming for our Goloka Foundation meeting and tomorrow from 2-3PM we will give a Teacher Training Program on "Power Point: From Basics to Bhava". This is a big part of our contribution to Lord Caitanya's Sankirtan Movement.

HpS - ASA -- No, it is the first time we did it. We would like to do several "Uncle Gismo" worshops. This one was very satisfying. About 12-14 teachers in the audience. We taught very, very simple system for Hari-lila Das and now he is doing shows, and then we discussed more advanced techniques and general aesthetic principles in design.

Can you put all the recipes you have into one file and send it to us: [email protected]

We have been looking a Basic Cracker Recipes also.

Thank you. . . .  \'o'/

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura nitai

ASA - Wow!  This is URGENT news. Hope the wedding really touches your hearts!  Hope all the families of both side, biological and theological will be there. He is a lucky fellow.

Hare Krsna

We get frustrated some times with different programs and since we are anandamaya bhyasat, pleasure seeking, we look for some rasa in condensed milk and strawberrys.

Well it could be worse (and it could be better).

Days are getting sane.   We called Tandavika, Tom et al, and answered 8-letters. Now RGD is coming for our Goloka Foundation meeting and tomorrow from 2-3PM we will give a Teacher Training Program on "Power Point: From Basics to Bhava". This is a big part of our contribution to Lord Caitanya's Sankirtan Movement.

Hari Bolo!   Hari Bolo!!     Blog, Blog, Blog (URGENT).

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

I read your latest DTC and am concerned over your health and praying fervently that Krishna keeps your body (and mind) running smoothly for His work. You are such an amazing inspiration and example always. Supersoul speaks through you directly.

I went to a vegetarian festival down in Richmond this weekend and we sold over 700 books and meditation kits. We were selling Yogi Dogs (vegan Prasad hot dogs) and it went great.

HpS   -  Ahaaa . Dog Eaters for Krsna!

Lines all through the day. Everybody got a meditation kit with Prabhupads books and beads who purchased a hot dog. 

I just took my GRE a few days ago and it went well (the proctor saw car keys in my hands during the break and assumed I was up to something) so she made a note*. By note, if the testing company thinks I cheated, they will hold my scores and I would have to re-take the test (after 3 months of studying for it). I’m hoping it doesn’t affect the release of my scores. The ‘education’ system here is extremely frustrating.

Besides that, I am also in the process of buying a home (to help out my mother). It’s stressful but it is for Krishna and parents (first gurus right?). This isn’t something I thought I’d do a year after graduating college but I am letting Supersoul guide me. It will be utilized in the service of devotees. 

 Please send blessings that I may be of service to you and Srila Prabhupad and keep Krishna in the center always.  Maybe a prayer that I can gain control over my emotions and mind. 

Personally, I have moments where I get mad ---not at Krishna, but just in general and that tends to spill into other parts of my service. How do I keep calm and gain better control over my actions?

HpS - NOI 1. Anger comes from frustrated desires.   What is it that you want that is not happening and that is making you angry?   Is it good anger?

I look forward to hearing from and wish you the very best in South America. Can’t wait for you to be back!

Jai Nitai-Gauranga!

Your attempting to be servant,

Sarita

HpS - Sounds good!    Why does Krsna make you look bad in your GRE test?  Hmmm????   Thank you so, so, so much for your efforts and austerities. In our opinion you are the top 5% of people on the planet in terms of personal sacrifice for others.

All Gloritis to A.C. Prabhupada Maharana and Sripada Maharaja

Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Thank You so much for Guruji's reply and advice me from time to time. Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's pdmacharan that the matters written in the previous letter is about personal sakhi & Manjari. In which direction (the eight gates of Vrndavan) and under whose sakhi’s guidance (the 8 sakhis) and what will be the duties?

            I had read the 7^th sloka of NOI and the 4.10 BG but it does not related directly with my questions. In the mean time I had discussed with prabhu Partha Sarthi Das in his house and discussed about the metter. He suggested me that such rear matters are discussed mainly in the book “Bhakti Rasamrta Sindhu written by Rupa Gosvami in Sanskrit”. We need to read the book in English Translation not Prabhupada’s Nectar of Devotion. I will try to collect the book in English translation at the earliest then it will help me in future

            Again in some local books, the names of the eight Manjaris are not same and their doors and direction also not same. What will be the real names, directions, and their respective duties for Krsna?

HpS - Yes, there are details of all aspects of devotional service in Rupa Goswami's Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu. Srila Prabhupada's Nectar of Devotion is a translation of practically speaking every verse of the BRS.   Then Danurdhara Swami has a book, "Waves of Devotion" which helps very, very much to make "Nectar of Devotion" very clear.

In Text Eight of NOI it gives the general details. Basically we have to become expert at Sadhana Bhakti first, then Bhava bhakti, then in Prema Bhakti we will understand our Siddha svarupa in Goloka. This is not a light thing. Until we ar following the four regulative principles of ISKCON very strictly for many years and chanting at least 16-very enthusiastic rounds for at least six years we can't even begin to understand these things.

It will be Fairy Tales for the most part.

How is your Sadhana Bhakti? Have ready and understood Srimad Bhagavatam completely?  Caitanya caritamrta?  Many people give the "Names of our Sakhis" etc very cheaply, but this Gopi bhava is something very, very elevated. Even Narada Muni has hard time to really understand it.

            This time, the programme of Saturday Sankirtana is performed in better way. I hope, gradually the number alos will automatically increase.

            I will see, Guruji Maharaja’s time table in the near future.

Yours fallen servant

HpS - Just finished these very intense programs in Peru and Houston and looks like we will go to India in February of 2017 for sure and leave our body Novemer 2024.
