URGENT Jayananda Thakur Lectures to Chile

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada 

Dear Guru Maharaja, 

Thank you for encouraged me Always. We visited Chandramukha Swami and he is so happy to be host in Vraja Bhumi,  2hours from Rio de Janeiro,  Brasil,  to the third Congress. Param Padam is organizing the teleconferences meeting to discuss the program in advance. I think he's sending to one old mail yours and you are not receiving their mails. At least from me I will send you Soon more details regarding the dates proposals from Chandramukha Maharaj and Nanda nanda.

HpS - AGTSP!    We received letters from Param and exchanged some.

But the purpose of this URGENT message is an invitation-request:

Could you give one skype lecture (recorded by me also)  for the Jayananda's Thakur appearance which will celebrate here at Santie this Saturday 14th May or,  if is not possible,  for the  Jayananda's Thakur Disappearance celebration the Thursday 19. The lectures are 18:30 hrs.  (Boise is -4 hours) but in the week we suggest to do it at 19:00 hrs.  To give time to the devotees to arrive because the traffic. 

Thank you gurudev for your inspiration.  We are spiritual alive and having even more spiritual health. 

Hare Krishna.

ASA - Ooof!   This Saturday is not possible. We have programs every minute with the Temple Cultural Complex inauguration.

Thursday seems fine.  We looked at jayanandathakura.com and it give his birth day at 27 April 1939, but that doesn't seem correct. He would have been nine years older than us and that didn't seem a fact. also as I understand he came to San Francisco just after graduating in Engineering from the University, so he would have been about 23-years old then.   Hmm?   Maybe born like 1944.

Thursday 19.00 hours = 16.00 for Nashville?

Hare Krishna Maharaj!  Please accept my humblest obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupad and all glories to you!

I spoke to the local priests at the temple and they said they can arrange for everything on any given Sunday! With so many auspicious events coming (Sita Devi’s appearance, Nrisimhadev Appearance Day, rath yatra), the amount of devotee association is amazing!
I understand you are leaving back to South America mid-June. Is there any way I can sponsor a ticket for you to come to DC before then? We can make all the arrangements necessary. 

I hope the constant back and forth aren’t taking a toll on your health. Please let me know as you see fit maharaj. The Richmond devotees would be exhilarated as well.

Your attempting to be humble servant,
Sarita

HpS - AgtSP! What Temple? Send your beads with return address for the Priest as soon as possible.

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja , Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Prabhupada

Dandavat Pranam

Yestarday, Sunday, the 8th May 2016 we 5 (five) members had a meeting with discussion in the Guruji's Aashram. We decided to start out weekly sunday discussion in the Guruji's Aashram regularly. Nanda Gopa Das suggested to start reading the sanda (vocabulary) of Visnu Sahasasranam regularl one or more sloka otherwise we would not be able to read any Sanskrit slokas from Gita, Bhagavatam and Caitanya Caritamrta etc. And we get a good signal from the Mandir Management Committee that they are interested to co-of  our group in the new  committee formation and desire to follow the norms of ISKCON. So, very shortly some changes may be occured with the blessings of Guruji. 

On the other hand, we are planning to extend some portion of Guruji's Aashram so as to enable some one may stay as Guruji's servitor (sevari) whenever Guruji stay in the Aashram. Last time due to shortage of accomodaton, all the bhaktas who come from Imphal could not stay with us and gone back to Imphal in the same night. It is very sorry from our side. One more thing is that we are planning to construct a new Rath for performing  Rath Jatra of Jaganath, Blabhadra and Subhadra.

Only one word or latter is so important for me, So please advise us from time time to time the Dos and Don'ts.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Hare Krsna. Why not read, chant together, the prayers of Queen Kunti, in Canto One, Chapter Eight?

o.k?

Read the DTCs. They have our news for you all. We miss your association!

Biography. Budanath Das.

Hare Krsna Maharaja.

Agt Nimai Nitai

I wish You are well in all aspects

You have asked me to write something about my biography, and I try to not forget anything, be brief and not very mentally.

The main thing to say is that I am a very ordinary person, but I've always had great faith that God exists. I am very vulgar because I can not always keep the standard, and although I have spent years keeping, the latter has not been, and every so often fall into intoxication and illicit sex.

My education was traditional Catholic, and I always like to read the Bible and other scriptures. I was lucky to have a book of Krishna, first part, in my house, of my father, I imagine from sankirtan, who sold it on the street, and always loved looking at the pictures, although I did not understand much that means the book and the story of Krishna, but when I read the meaning of God's preface, Bhagavan, I thought it was the best definition of God that had read.

When I was little, every day came to my room my guardian angel, a woman coming through the window between light and blue fabrics, until one day she said goodbye to me because I had to live my life. These meetings have always been very important to me, as they have marked my life.

After reading the Bible and the Koran in my teens, and Buddhist texts, I was very attracted by Buddhism and meditation, though I never understood meditating on emptiness. This led me to approach the tantra, which was marking me and turning my mind, increasingly believer in the Absolute Truth, with more understanding, but increasingly with impersonal nuances.

I have spent many years practicing astral travel, meditation with the third eye and the subtle world. This take me to study and practice hypnosis. In those years I had a great contact with subtle entities that helped me a lot and I started to make some kind of demigod worship, from Celtic culture. I worshiped the god and goddess of war, death and the underworld. All this because those were years with many struggles with evil witches, demonic entities and satanic societies. This led me to be threatened with death, and several assassination attempts. And to be the focus of a lot of black magic, things that continue to this day.

I must say that all this especially after leaving the army. I was in special operations.

After these years, I have always had many contacts with non-human entities, both dark and bright. I am a person continually at war.

I have to say that often break the principles to relax my mind and my blood, which become like fire. I imagine it is a very poor excuse, and a very bad habit, specially in my situation.

It was at that time I was aware that I must learn from a master, and that was when I decided to enter a Buddhist or Hindu temple, and it was when contacting the Hare Krsna, and spent several years in the temples, where I met you and I really learned everything that I know today. And where I was aware of the higher reality that exists, Sri Sri Radha Krishna and Sri Vrndavan.

Today I am a somewhat troubled person, for the lonely life I lead, and having a double life. And because I feel I should be a better devotee. Also because I feel that only serve for war and not for devotion. Because I love to associate with the holy names, but I do not get to be the absolute center of my life and I fall. My life goes on, and it will not be different until I die, but in a sense I am very happy because Krsna behaved very well with me, though I did not deserve it.

I am also very happy to meet people like You and other great Masters of Iskcon.

Today I work as coach of Hockey.

I have to say that these years I have met incredible people, Hare Krishna and not, but also fight for good, and they are also anonymous people, but with a big heart.

I hope you like my biography, and I regret not be better devotee or person.

I would say that Tulasi Devi is germinating and looks set to continue growing, and has grown in me a great desire to never leave her alone. I hope she wants to continue with me and not leave me.

Being as I am, is what I'm a little embarrassed to write, because you are more focused on issues purest.

Yours, Budanath Das

HPS - Thank you. Seems you just need to continue with the same things you are doing now, no?

Your biography reminds us so much of another devotee. Just go ahead with the same path you are on now but try to do it more carefully, faster.

Jack the Donkey, Bill the Duck,
Somtimes Bray, sometimes Cluck.

Mike the Man, the Holy Names, chant, he can! Can! Can!

We are in Boise, Idaho. We have a tooth ache and a headache and a stomach-ache and short of breath, but our eyes are pretty good, and our work-load is pretty good.

OINK!

Clothes are washed, talked with the ART and Dr. Samaresh and Vaisesika Das, and had an organizing meeting with Anantarupa Das and Radhika-r-D.

Can't find peach colored 60-40 cloth.

Tey King Peas-Porridge Prasad each morning at Sriniavasa's home and little fruit at 4PM. Then hot-milk puts the day to end.

It's a life with love that we all do seek.
   Goloka is the place where it we will meet.
GOLOKA!    G O L O K A!   Where Krsna's greedy heart, body and mind are manifest through every tree, grass, cow, kitchen, carpet, gopi, garden.

And we have a unique ability to satisfy His lust.

May the hero of Vraja be all glorified, because glorification of Him reveals His desire and gives us opportunity for love, service.

AGTSP!!!    Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!

If you don't know what to do,
   The Holy Names will inform you!

        CHANT !
