All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Dandavat Pranam

HpS - ASA. -- So very, very, very nice to hear from you!

We had tried two three times to sit together with the present Mandir Management Committee Members along with Bonamali Prabhu and  some bhaktas of Imphal to start the functioning of the Thoubal Mandir in the ISKCONsystem  (padhati) but with some reason or other we could not sit together and solved all matters. In our small mandir there are three groups 1) Bhagavat Shiksha Aashram Group of Three Members who construct this mandir 2) Initiated under ISKCON padhati consisting of Three Members among the management committee who wants to run the mandir in their own style and 3) Initiated under ISKCON padhati but outside the management committee consisting of 10 (ten) members. 

Some days back, one of the members of the present management group suggested to Bonomali Prabhu for siting together all the three groups so we are planning for a meeting on Sunday the 19th June, 2016. We hope, all problems may be solved and run the mandir together with the blessing of Guruji, Gouranga Mahaprabhu  and Radha Krsna.

We need  Guruji advice to all the initiated bhaktas what to do and what not to do.

Yours fallen servant

HpS - AgtSP. Put Vaisnava relations before administrative relations. Means, apply Text 4 and 5 in having progressive relations. Make friends with devotees in terms of their advancement.

Chant together. Share Prasad and then make a few practical plans for Temple functions like arati, class, festivals.

Within this there will be everybody's different group of friends. That it's natural. Finally you must have your own direct relationship with Srila Prabhupada through other transparent devotees, his books, super soul etc.

1. Work as members of ISKCON

2. Associate with your friends in ISKCON.

3. Communicate with your Acharya, Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Maharaja

PAMHO

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

I enjoy reading the letters sent to your grace and posted here.  The energy, activities,  personal notes, and affection for you that is displayed in the letters is insperational and enderaing, as well as facinating.  We are all very greatful for the many lives you have enriched by your generous mercy.

HpS - I think it is the colossal effort of Srila Prabhupada to use every resource.

  Our visit to the Boise Temple was spirtually energizing.  The deities are beautuful and the devotees are terrific.  It was so nice to take your association.  Thank you.  We have family and grandkids visiting from Colorado next week.  Hopefully we can make a difference in their lives.  I must admit I am disappointed that our other grandkids are not very interested in taking advice from us.  There is so much I could help them with.  You can lead a horse...  They're good kids so I don't worry about them.

We would be delighted and  fortunate if you could come for a visit.  There are many devotees who are more deserving of your association and many homes more appropriate than ours for you to stay, but all of the devotees here pray that you can find the time to come for a visit.

I remain your unworthy servant,  Dave pabhu

HpS - It was so nice seeing asked spending time with you. You have such a wholesome perspective on life. Your home and association is super but just for geographic we are looking more at the Easy coast.

Please send it's news as it happens. Are you in a city?

Sobreviviendo

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Hare Krsna Gurudev, porfavor acepte mis más humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Gurudeva voy a serle sincera en el reporte del sadhana de este mes, hemos tenido altibajos al levantarnos temprano, acabamos de abrir  un pequeño Restaurante snak vegetariano llamado "Mukunda", mucho trabajo estas semanas que no hicimos mangala artik pero si cantamos nuestras 25 rondas aunque malas, 4 principios bien y poca lectura.

HpS ASA. - Hare Krsna. Prioridades, no? Desarrolla de un Centro o restaurants es super, pero sin Brahma muhurta convierta modalidad de bondad y no transcendental pronto. Jaya.

Vi a mi padre hace unos dias, viajamos juntos, como extrañaba su compañía, y quisiera estar más tiempo con mi familia. Por ahí mi padre me dijo que estudie educación más adelante.

ASA - Puede ser util, no?

En agosoto P. gadai está viajando de sankirtana viajero, algo que yo estoy de acuerdo, yo entiendo que él es un predicador y por tal siempre voy a apoyarlo y yo me quedaré por Huancayo en el negocio y estudiando.

Estamos muy tristes porque nuestro avance espiritual no esta hiendo bien con las rondas y el sadhana pero el trabajo no es pretexto para no hacer vida espiritual.

Gurudeva, perdone mis ofensas, voy a mejorar el sadhana y leer más, el sankirtana de libros ahora no lo estoy haciendo, no estoy cualificada espero pulir mis ofensas al hablar para algun dia ser merecedora de este servicio y  espero al menos un dia a la semana hacerlo

Hare Krsna

Nadiya nivasi Dasi

ASA - Adelantar es establecer amistad eterno con diferente devotos. Amistad es hacer yoga juntos.

Hare Krsna!!!        The wind it blows,
The snow it grows,
But naught the matter if our rain-coat holds.

Do the things around us touch our heart?
Are we conscious of what is happening in our heart?
I am very conscious of my face: The set of my lips, the tensions in my eyes.
Is my face happy???       Aaaah, then "I" must be happy.

We see some happy things in the world around: Trazan married Jane, but then we see how this affects our heart.

What is in your heart?
We try to put the light of God therein. To sing and dance and before it bend.
To saturate the world around with the love we find from it.
To let the tale of T and Jane, but reconciled with this base, in our heart.

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

We didn't get up until too late!    FMP was very robust with 11-participants.
Then we offer Potato potage to Lord and kept half in our tiffin for lunch.
Japa, banking research, calls MOE with good results, off to the Smyrna Medical Center to meet with Dr. Amit Singh. We got lost in the GIGANTIC maze, but he found us and looked at our leg.
"It's not going to go away", hesitant pause, "I think you should go on the steriods again".
We walked across the lobby. $15. 15-capsules for 15-days.
Back to the Bank --- Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna --- $2000 for South America, $11.53 for NIOS credit card, $101 for HHR account ....  Take lunch, take the pills:
                                                 b oO0-ng!

p     in air pressure in the heart.      The nausea, but it should work.    That's life: The best use of the bad bargain. Get three extra years of life now, by selling three extra years at the other end.   Ha!    Ha!    Hare!

O.K.   NGD gone to Chicago with family.   Excellent news from Candra mukhi, Thakur Ji et al in Peru.  We go for a walk with Dr. Desai.    Tomorrow is PDP in the morning.   Last yard work.   Packing.   "Prak-kathana".
