Esteemed Bloggers;

Follows are current India Intinerary. We are seeing what Raktaka Das and Prof. Samaresh's ideas are but things are pretty fixed. We hope The Raktaka Das can co-ordinate the travel and then we are looking forward to the association of Girivaradhari Das, Harsh Swami, Cakori, TUNGAVIDYA DD, et al in route. (PND))))   >

Please write with your opinions.

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

Hare Krsna,

Esteemed Professor, Raktaka Das,
Here we are in Buenos Aires.     Thank you Professor for your conversation today.
1. Our itinerary for India, now it:

Feb
18/Thu, Arrive Delhi 10.45PM.  Go to ISKCON Temple and stay until 21/Sun.
21/Sun, Del to CCU.  We have this ticket. Spend the night. Raktaka Das, can you book a room for two for the nights of 18th to 20th at the Guest House. We can both stay there.  Prof. is there any work that we should do while in Delhi???
22/Mon, Kolkat to Mayapur via the Huzaar Duaari. Our thought is that Professor and Mataji can travel with us, HpS - Raktaka Das, and then stay in Mayapura for four days. Raktaka Das - Train tickets? Accomodations in Mayapura for you and Professor and Mataji? We will stay with the ILS quota. The ISKCON Leadership Sanga will be from 24th February to 2nd March. Then we were thinking to spend one more day, 3rd, to finish any work with the Ministry of Education et al, then..

Mar
4/Fri, Mayapura to CCU airport and fly to Manipur.
7-8/Mon-Tue, back to CCU from Imphal.  This will be just a personal counseling and formal religious tour as far as I know. May also go to Agaartala etc. So, would sem to be waste of Professor's time, but we will keep both of your good selves informed as we receive letters from Manipur. Returning to Kolkata we have no plans, except those that Professor suggests. Then..
18/Fri, We are programmed to go to BBY, but we don't have any ticket yet, if Professor wants us to to travel from CCU to some other place. In Bombay we would be with Rama-giridhari and the Goloka Education work. Of course, the Raktak et al are can travel with us, but again, I think that it would be a waste of Professor's time unless Rama-giridhari Das et al, get some specific program or Professor sees some need.
25/Fri, we have ticket from BBY to DEL (AI 864). Then we would go directly from the airport (With Professor and Mataji) to Vrndavana and stay until,
29/Tue. when we would go to the Delhi airport at as late as possible because our flight is on the 30th at 2.30AM.

O.K?  It is a head-ache trying to do all this travel planning, but this seems to be the most efficient way.

Rakataka Das, what is your plan? You are with us all the way? You can make the above reservations?

Professor, we apologize for any disturbance we are causing by these travel plans and sincerely hope to hear from you with any suggestions we have. Of course, we are 87% available for any NIOS work that you have for us in Delhi, Kolkatta or Bombay!

Namah Om Vishnu Padaya Krishna Preshthaya Bhutale

Srimate Hanumat Preshak Swamin iti Namine

I pay my respectful obeisances to His Divine Grace Srila Hanumat Preshak Swami Maharaj-who is very dear to Lord Shri Krishna, having taken shelter at His feet.

Please accept my best wishes on the occasion of your 68th Divine Appearance Day.

When Karmi people celebrate their birth-days, it does not make any sense, since they have no spiritual inclination and thus they implicate their existense more and more in material complexities, but in your case, please believe me that you should be proud of your devotional attainments, so celebrating your birth-day is a must thing, it gives to us, to the disciples, an opportunity to glorify the whole parampara through your transparent via medium, All Glories to your pure service to your guru Srila Prabhupad, kindly bless us that we may serve you with the same spirit.

When we say that you are our savior, it is not out of sentiments, it is real. Here is the reason:-We have the tendency to commit sinful activities because of our past conditioning, but always, either out of fear of chastisement from your side, or out of respect for you or for the fear of public blasphemy-they would say shame on you, what are you doing? disciple of such a nice Sadhu and look at your degraded actions, so you are always saving us, directly or indirectly.  A disciple can never pay to his guru for the gifts he receives from him, if he thinks so he is fool number one.

You are a very genuine Vaishnav and you are situated in your own glories, may the light of your pure character always be upon us, and thus we may aspire to follow you properly.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HPS - AGTSP. paoho. we have very little  ability. we are in argentina with a machine that is 90% inefficient. thank you for your thoughts. we follow the four principles, chant our rounds and try to minimize our acts of stupidity. we have more purification before we can really be bhava bhaktas. the more we purify ourselves, the more others have the opportunity of pure association.

Hare Krsna reverencias maharaja En realidad NO , sus curriculums son buenos pero no los conosco a todos. Me gustaria cambiar la Filosofía por el Derecho, es fácil el cambio. Me siento inquieta ya que no sé si sea momento para pasar un tiempo en el templo quizá seis meses o un año. 

ASA - O.K. Nos vemos aqui.

Sacramento - West Coast calendar.

01/13/16 Haribol esteemed Guru Maharaja! Kindly accept dandavats & pranams. All glories to Sri Guru & Gauranga! 1. Very happy you are finally in So America preaching and a-teaching!... May Srila Prabhupada bless your efforts!!! 2. You asked re. news from Grass Valley...Saw Yasoda Rani Devi Dasi at ISKON Sac Janmastami program. Have not seen nor spoken with her since then. Ron Prabhu left the planet a few months ago. I have heard that Lucille is adapting to her new situation. For some time, they have been deeply involved with the sizable Narayan Maharaja community in Grass Valley. Because of that, Lucille mataji had told me year before last that the afore mentioned mataji would no longer speak to them. So since I do not know any of the NM community, I have heard nothing new. I am comforted by the knowledge that Lucille is part of that community & so I know she is being supported and loved by devotees. 3. You asked re. May 2016 for visit here...May is ok at this point except for 3 day Memorial weekend. Most devotees out of town at a retreat on the 3-day weekend. We will be in town but program will be REALLY sparsely attended. HpSwami - ASA - I don't know the future but it looks like we will only be able to visit Boise on our visit to the West Coast, neither Sacramento, Seattle, San Francisco. The travel would kill us, but Boise devotees will be having a Sitadevi festival with inauguration of late new community hall etc. Should be listed on our Calender. They are happy to host everyone for white water river festival, everything. Can you come? Others? 4. You asked when Prof Little's class is over (when does semester end) I will check to find out. Will also speak with Vikasananda Prabhu to see how we might arrange a date for you to speak during one of Dr. Little's classes. 5. Will send Jan. donation. May I send a letter to you with the donation? Assuming a prabhu open/sensors your mail. That is just fine. HpS - Sure. 6. Not much else right now except I could really use your prayers and am once again reaching out to take your lotus feet. 7. Remaining your unworthy servant, Kalindi Devi Dasi

Srinivasa travel report

9 years, 5 months ago by srinivasacarya in Personal Sadhana Reports, Other

Respected GuruMaharaja Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I am sorry, my annual report got delayed. I posted it in the 'Annual Disciple Report' section. My trip to India was good though it was very tiring. I came back sick two days ago and didn't go to work yet. It was probably Krishna's arrangement that we missed our connecting flight in Dubai. Sugopi and I were feeling bad that we will be in transit for your Vyasapuja tithi. However, due to missing the connection we got a hotel in Dubai. We were carrying a mridanga to US which we were suggested by airline staff to take as carry on. In the hotel we took a shower, put on tilak, clothes (dhoti, sarees), unpacked our Gaura Nitai and used a good table as altar. Found some flowers, fruits, nuts and bottled water for offering. In the middle of the airport, inside the hotel, we sang bhajans with mridanga, did pushpanjai and celebrated nice vyasapuja! I met Prahlad Narsimha prabhu and Sudhama Sakha prabhu in Mayapur. Prahlad Narsimha prabhu is doing great work on the next version of vedabase.com and he showed high level design to me. I think there will be tools that will be very useful for general users as well as serious students of Srila Prabhupada's books. Looking at how travel makes me fall behind on certain things and makes me sick I look with amazement how you accomplish what you do at your advanced age. Thank you for taking on such austerities for the benefit of conditioned souls like me. I very much miss our Srimad Bhagavatam meetings and looking forward for your association again. Your insignificant servant Srinivasacarya dasa

HpS - ASA Hare Krsna. So glad to get this report. No milk to offer? We will try to be on line tomorrow at 7a.m. Boise hour for Pada-padma. Have a very intense Sankirtan at every moment.
