16 rounds, 4 principles done! 

some proofs in this last time....... now i am living only with my father and my son, my husband is gone for a while, since a few months, because of some troubles, but in this distance we are trying to fix the differences, think more deeply abaut it .....we are still "toghether" anyway.

about my service, good news....we recover permission in Paseo Ahumada. Last one programa was an offering in Nityananda Trayodasi.

my father is ok, the other day said me: " i know that i am in maya, but i am still your father, so, i forbid you walk away from Krishna consciousness, ever" and i felt at that time  that I will never forget those words...

when my husband gone, stop to worshiping my deities, but i clung to my japa....
Now I have returned to worship..... 

now i am not reading.....but i hope that in my next report that 
I hope that in my next report that improves

HpS Such sad news, but do the right thing. 16 good round, 4 principles strictly. Up for Mangala arati for Radha and Krsna and read Vaisnava books with others. You will see big results. Also very good news!

Sripada Maharaja Ki Jay Prabhupada Maharaja Ki Jay

Radha Krsnaki Jay and Goura bhakta ki jay

Please accept my humble obeisanses unto Sri Guruji's padmacharan that may I know Guruji's Sakhi and Manjuri?

According to our Manipuri Goudiya Beisnava, at the time of taking initiation under a parampara Brahmana, first give the Das nama, then Sakhi then Manjuri. The first stage of taking Das nama is upto Nabadwip personally (sadhya), then Sakhi upto Vrndabana as Gopis by atma but could not served Smt. Radharani and Sri Krsna  directly then Manjuri     served Smt. Radharani and Sri Krsna directly to fulfill the desires of Sri Krsna.

When we practice such spiritual advancement we should follow the path of Guruji through Guruji's Sakhi and Manjuri. That is why we need Guruji's Das Nama, Sakhi and Manjiri. 

If Guruji thinks me suitable for giving   the names of Guruji's Sakhi and Manjuri, please let me know so as I could follow the foodpath of Guruji.

I had started such practice of going Nabadwip then Vrndabana and back (Gamana Gaman) daily in the morning and evening before sleeping.

Yours fallen servant

.... HpS - ISKCON, Prabhupada only discuss these thing internally. Generally we are Rupa anugas, so our Sakhi is Lalita and our Manjari is Rupa. Pray to Prabhupada. Tell me what he tells you.

HpSwami. Hope all does go well and you push it well!

Hare krishna gurumaharaja!! Todas las glorias a srila prabhupada!!! Todas las glorias a usted! Estamos en sri dham mayapur, hasta el 20 de abril. No tubimos la buena fortuna de tener aunque sea un momento de su asociacion aqui. Cuando llegamos fuimos a verlo al brahmacari asrama nos dijeron que no estaba alli y nos mandaron al vamsi bhavan, tampoco estaba alli. Luego un devoto nos paso el dato que se estaba hospedando en el edificio de nama hatta nuevo, fuimos a buscar y tampoco nadie sabia. Luego nos dijeron que iba a dar clase a las 8 am en el mayapur institute y cuando llegamos alli nos dijeron que se habia marchado de mayapur a las 5 am. Asi que no tubimos la fortuna de estar con usted aqui. Esperamos que krishna sea mas misericordioso con nosotros la proxima ves y no nos deje con este sentimiento de vacio. Aqui estamos participando de algunos programas hoy comienza el parikrama a navadwip, pensamos participar algunos dia; vaisnavi esta muy bien aqui, cuando la llevamos al templo se pone a bailar y ya esta mas adaptada al cambio de horario. Le pedimos de sus bendiciones para que la potencia de este lugar sagrado nos toque aunque sea un poco. Sus sirvientes, gadadhara, pushpa y vaisnavi. Hare krishna!!! HpS - hare Krsna! So sad. Missed each other by a few moments. Have very rejuvenated experience in the Holy Dhama!

Just posted the big DTC. It was written for Beverly and everyone. We are so tired, have recovered a lot while here in Kolkata. We really miss all of our Masters in North and South America. Kolkata, Bombay, Braja, Europe, Nashville.

DIARY OF A TRAVELING CREATURE January – March 2016 By Tom Brown (Monkey) and Buck White (Piggy) ANJANA SUTA ACADEMY www.JayaRama.us Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Here we are, Tom Brown and Buck White (more graphically know as Monkey and Piggy), with Hanumatpresaka Swami at the ISKCON Kolkata, Albert Road Temple. It is about 83⁰ F here at 5AM and by 5.30AM the sky is just becoming light, the mosquitos begin to gently search for blood and the jungle flowers secrete intoxicating perfumes. During January we trans-versed South America and then reloaded in the USA for this Asia trek. This involved 36-hours from: Murfreesboro, Tennessee to, Nashville, Tennessee to, Newark, New Jersey (where we were in transit for 6-hours and met a retired Sea Captain of the big international oil tankers) to, Brussels (where we met a Catholic Priest) to, Delhi where we rested for 2.25 very nights and did 5-lecture/cultural programs with 200-600 people each. Our driver one evening was a very nice gentleman with a very nice car with nice A/C whom Uncle Gismo harassed until he explained the difference between cellular 3G and 4G connections. He managed about 500 Erickson Engineers who developed the towers and all else for about one third of the world. Back in the aluminum Wiener. One night in Dr. Samaresh’s house in Kolkatta and the next day sharing a taxi from Kolkata airport to Mayapura with two ladies, sisters, from Peru, living in Australia, HpSwami’s disciples. Mayapura is the birthplace of Sri Krsna Caitanya about 1486 AD. Many Bengali organizations have Temples and Cultural Complexes there and the ISKCON one stands like a Tyrannosaurus amongst smaller dinosaurs. It is jungle, farms along the banks of the Ganga, four hours from Kolkata. Oink! Oink! Whoop! Whoop! We really hope The Rooster of Peru is appreciating all the purposeful, though possibly mad, austerity. For ten daze we were in Mayapura ISKCON. There was a mass conflict between different administrative divisions a week before and one of HpSwami’s students was pummeled unconscious. We were there for the ILS meeting (ISKCON Leadership Sanga). About 1,200 ISKCON second level leaders from around the world were there. The last three days we got sick - cold and fever. Our room-mate was our old friend Sukadeva Swami, formerly a doctor, from South India. We were representing the ISKCON Ministry of Education. HpS gave one presentation during three different slots on “Harvard, Oxford and the Bhagavat in Dialog”. It was sold-out every time. The MOE did nine more presentations in the over 240-other slots. Lot of work. We also had to organize and attend MOE administrative meetings, Spanish language lectures and meetings, feed the elephants, visit Srila Prabhupada’s Samadhi Mandir, check-in with people left and right, coming and going, that we haven’t seen for months, days, years, decades. HpSwami is a fanatic: Up by 2AM, chanting rosary, reading esoteric classics, writing, bath, barefoot to the Samadhi arati at 4.30AM. The Security Guards and street dogs stand sleepily to salute him and Rtu-raja as they passed by. A loving mother and father, a dutiful king, they can protect you, but the Holy Dhama, She never sleeps. (I guess you get the idea about our life for the past ten weeks. (Reading this, we start to get the idea.)) After Mayapur: Four hours with Hari Das Das back to the Kolkata airport. Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Kolkata to Imphal and Thoubal, Manipur. Now we are in the North East. This makes the jungles of Mayaura look like a Beverly Hills Country Club. Simple villages in the foothills of the Himalayas. Have to shoo the cows off the runway to land. Soldiers with machine guns every quarter mile in the tougher areas. Feelings of love and communal wisdom that bring you to your knees, and remind you of Jung’s words to the scientific elite during the Tavistock lectures: You think that these ancient Indian and Chinese cultures were fools. They aren’t the fools. We are the fools. They have a realization of introspective life that is simply marvelous. In terms introspective psychology Europe is just a peninsula of Asia. HpSwami has been trying to help there for 10-years, after his Sannyasa Guru, B. S. Damodara Swami died as a result of a bomb blast. HpS is obviously a stupid white-man but the people were traveling by bus, car, buffalo for even three days to join the festivals and in the end they donated 100,000 Rupees, even 10 at a time, for the progress of this Peru-Manipur dialog, and pledged there intellects and talents to the effort. All this has been in a foreground of our background of Professor Samaresh and Dr. Kalyankumar. During the 36-hours in Delhi, when we first landed, we were able to meet with Dr. Kalyan. He was in charge of the administration of all the primary schools in Uttar Pradesh, about 800,000 children, National Education Development Institute and National Fine Art’s Academy. His view has been so parallel to ours, Hector Behar and Ramon’s et al in Peru and the drift that we profoundly feel in Prof. C. G. Jung’s perspective, that unless we nurture, serve, these traditional cultures, then we have a funeral waiting for our souls and the existence of human life on the planet. So here, we let our borrowed ASUS Net book take rest. It is 3.15 PM. We spent one hour with one of the Temple Brahmacaris tranfering Light of the Bhagavata files and our old but happy eyes are about to collapse. Enough work for one day. We will send this report and in the next week we hope to have substantial progress on our written contribution to the Symposium in Peru in June, Miguel’s magazine and our other ASA and NIOS efforts. We are still planning to leave this body (through the mouth?) November 2024. Please write to us. We cannot live without your mercy.
