Letters to the editor

Respected Readers

HARE KRISHNA, Srila Prabhupad ki Jai, Srila Hanumat Preshak Maharaj ki Jai.

Recently, Guruji (Hanumat Preshak Maharaj) allowed me to travel with him while he was in India. It was very enlivening experience, spiritually.

I traveled with him for two weeks, we were together in Mumbai, Pune, Vrindavan and Delhi. During this trip, I also took some photos and videos and I like to share them with you, thanks to read and watch.  It would be with the title "Guru-Lila".

yours servant,

Guru-Lila (Part 1)

Guruji came to Mumbai from Kolkata on 18th March 2016. Harsh Prabhu and I were at the Mumbai international airport to receive him, he came out from Gate 'C'. We paid him our humble obeisances and then we all proceeded towards the parking area where Harsh's car was parked.  Guruji sat in the front seat, and he said jokingly that only the criminals sit behind (and of course, I am that criminal) since Harsh Prabhu was driving.  We went to IIT Campus, Powai-where Harshji has his residense,  quick tour of the Campus area and then to Harsh's home, had prasadam there, Guruji liked prasadam. Harsh Prabhu's son is a naughty child, but he loves guruji very much.  After some time, Shriman Rama-Giridhari Prabhu came and took us with him to our residence in Navi Mumbai, an area called Nerul, while leaving Harsh's house, guruji took with him an apple.

Very nice to have iur association again through SM, etc, we were kind of leading fmp but U inspire muchhhhhhh more than I do.

We are in a new phase in our therapy. Now I know what I do not want more. And value and respect myself more. I am very happy and comfortable with my therapist.

I complete my rounds but my AIM is to chant GOOD rounds,,, 4p all right. I am teaching BS I like that very much.

I will coordinate with abhiram and try to be useful  for the congress in June

I am hanging out with Madhumati dd ( Sankarshan das adhikari), she had already bought her ticket to India and her plan is to stay there..,, and no return anymore, she loves Vrindavan, she is a nice company and inspiration for me.

On Ramanavami I had to work from 2 to 9pm but at home earlier I did an offering to our deities.

When my father left i felt so so unprotected.... but lately I realized that I have SP 's, Krsna 's protection through U. Thank U Gurudeva, I feel protected.,,, so miscreants back off jeje

HpS - Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna. Get closer to Krsna. He wants to be your friend just like your psychologist. He has many extravagant plans for all of us.

Sankirtan plans for Lima. He wins His battles!

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

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

I can feel myself getting closer, much closer to initiation than I have so far in this life. I've moved into the temple, adjusted my work schedule to be present for entire morning program and SB class. I've become the treasurer for the brahmacari ashram here in Denver. I'm really excited and enthused for this seva. Set a timeline for receiving recomendation from TP Tushta Krishna Das Prabhu and Ashram Leader Vinoda Kovida Das. 

Since getting established I've found myself getting pulled away by the modes. Sleeping in and missing morning program, pulled around by other bodily desires for illicit sex and intoxication. Slowly taking some desperate measure by writing this letter to gear my association to where it should be. Just overall feelings of low confidence in my ability to take initiation seriously (though two weeks ago I was extremely confident). I want to be able to make my vows with all sincerity and confidence that I will refrain from breaking any regs or not completing my rounds. Truthfully I'm just feeling a bit broken hearted. I know what I should do. But I also have these stupid mundane desires that I listen to far too much. I know my mind is getting to a dangerous place because I've contemplated the 'one foot in, one foot out' situation where I'm being nonsense but still being attached to my service. Though I still know that is not actually doable, there is no middle ground. 

I've already purchased my ticked to have your association in Boise. I'm also hoping that Tushta Krishna will be in touch with you to request a visit here to Denver. I know your calendar said probably no other USA stops this year, but I'm praying that Krishna will arrange something. 

Your lowly aspiring servant,

Bhakta Adrian

HpS ASA - Yes. We fight with selfish desires. We want Krsna to be happy.

Are we making progress daily.

Yes, we got invitation to visit Denver from Sacisuta Das, but out just is not possible. We're in transit through Denver both ways but will kill us if we start traveling again.

Just Boise.

Make progress today. Don't take more service than you can do. Don't be lazy, HpS!

Hare Krsna. Hare Rama!

We have letters from one week and the days ago to answer! We are getting our feet on the ground and actually working more efficiently back in Tennessee more than before we left.

We'll see. We make our feeble efforts and The Witch makes her counter attacks.

We've answered all the URGENT letters. We will start the Wednesday night Bhakti Sastri workshops. 7pm Nashville time.

They must be fun as well as practical.

We took Rtadvaja Swami's Mother's car for emission test and it failed. It it's a 1992 Oldsmobile. Then we searched for a mechanic that might be able to fix it.

Worked on the ASA calendar for the next Kapi-dhvaja, especially the Boise Festival. Are you coming? Fresh air. White water rafting maybe. Senior devotees.

o.k. Time for bed!

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,

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

Issues with editor (formating) should be fixed now. I updated all modules into latest version.

However if you will see any issues please let me know through the email as that is fastest and most reliable way how I will get info.

PS: We are back in Sridham Mayapur, will send letter about Thailand soon.

HpS - Hare Krsna! I am back in USA and starting to catch up on the mail. I hoped you might stay in the Dhama but wherever Krsna wants to send us.

Always we're thanking you for your help, especially the Blog. Yes, the format seems different and for our Windows Phone a little tougher in some ways, but we are adjusting.

YES, news of your Krsna conscious experiences in Thailand! ! !
