HpS - ASA - Potato feet. AGTSP!

Dear Gurudeva, I'm Rati Manjari DD, you remember me? jijiji xD

ASA - The second most famous person in Argentina, no?

Hope your health is good!!!!

ASA - At 67-years USA we can really see that 9-more years for this body is a practical and esoteric estimate. Teeth, memory, vision, hearing going, but experience and intelligence increasing. Gotta get ready for service without a gross body, and you?

Gurudev my Japa improve, I can complete it and keep, following 4 principles but my consciousness is so material.
Gurudev we have gave the course of the spiritual scientist which is based on the small books of Srila Prabhupada and give the information of content in a nice and easy way, when we finish to gave the class the students stay in the class room making more and more questions! I am really grateful about that, I can understand how Prabhupadas message can change the life of people. It encourage me a lot!

ASA - \'0'/  Jaya....    ....   You can't do that if you have very material consciousness. Must have only moderately material conscioiusness.

Gurudev in our last godbrothers meeting we talk about keep connected with your preach line, we have debate about which one of yours principal items is more interesting for each one of us, to start to make study groups, it's a initial idea, but I hope we together can make a work team to keep your crops alive during the time you're not in the country and develop compromise and good contacts for get the better places for you.

ASA - Our preaching line is what Prabhupada and the Parampara sends us through different sources. Every sales man has his own technique.

In Bhakti Sastri we have some questions to make to you, can u help us please?

1- ¿How the Maha-Mantra has made accesible for all? We was talking about in the first moment was a secret mantra. ¿Was Caitanya who change the order of the words to make reachable for all?
ASA - We have heard about this in different ways but never read it in any of Prabhupada's books or lectures, letters, even from devotees who heard it from Prabhupada.
P'pada cites the Maha-mantra from the Kalisantara Upanisad. The wikipedia says that it is one of the Upanisads from the Black Yajur Veda. That is about all I know. 

2- The "rasa" of each entity is always the same? Or can evolve? - We always are "the same" and we discover? Or when we obtain prema, Krsna give it to us?
ASA - In NOI the verse 'nitya-siddha krsna prema..." is cited. Look it up and see where it is spoken and then read that section. Send us your thoughts!

 Thank u!

 More questions:

3- You have some estimeed date to visit our Yatra.

ASA - Seems 12 August to 7 September in Peru. Then January in Chile, maybe Argentina then. We would like to live there.

4 - Mangala Arati: the time to make it, the only way is doing it at 4.30am?  can do it at 5.3 or 6.00 this option is possible?

ASA - In NOI Srila Prabhupada says like, up by 4AM and Mangala arati, but in Krsna book he says that we should chant HK during the Brahma-muhurta. So seems we should have Mangal-arati during the Brahma muhurta. Look for Muhurtas on the Wikipedia and tell us your results!

5- GM one devotee make my astrological chart, and told about this is a good time to travel, based on that and my wish to travel, I  decide to go to India next year when you will be there, you agree? What you think about that? I need your blessings.

ASA - I think we will go there after Chile for like three months.

We start again with the congress and visit issues. ;)

Gurudeva please bless me to understand Krishna Consciousness, bless me for understand Prabhupada's mission and for be a tool in your service.  Sorry for my long letter, thanks for your valuable time. The world would be devastating for me if you were not in it.

Who always want to stay by your side. Your practicant of disciple.
Rati Manjari Devi Dasi.

ASA - Monkey and Piggy are still using the pencil bag that you gave us. Whenever we see it we think of you, the second most intelligent person in Argentina!!

9.55PM.    Quit'n Time!    Long, full day of service. We seem to be getting a little bit better at how to control our senses. We come up with some full-body work everyday - ironing the clothes, cooking Lord's Lunch, going the Office Supply Store.  We expected our energy to be back to normal by Tuesday and it looks about right. We are getting near death, 76-years old, so we are being FORCED to change our life style.

We are contacting everyone about future events: West Coast Tour, Houston Education Conference, South American Tour. Thus, talked with Visvambara Das and Rasa-candra for about 20-minutes each. We are working to get our Bhakti-rasa-amrta-sindhu, NOD, seminar organized for San Jose etc.
It is really nice. Each time we learn to improve it. Practical Progress in Purusottama Yoga.

O.K. Rest now.

See you tomorrow.

We answered a long letter at Yahoo from Basu Gosh Prabhu from India and didn't get to the Blog, though we looked for any "Urgent" letters.

Hare Krsna!!!!!!!

Herd cows, make rich flavored yogurt for Vrndavana.

Educational Congress in Peru

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja, Pamho,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and you!

I hope you're well and your sankirtan for Srila Prabhupada is going fine.

2:38 in the morning. Rounds almost done. Best ones before mangalartik.

I'm very excited and happy. Yesterday, Panihati festival was great. Then we went to the city and chanted for 2 hours,

I'm sorry I didn't write before. I'm helping again in temple administration. I'll be secretary for a while until they find another one. I hope soon, cause my main service is education. Now, I'm teaching 3 courses and studying 2. Giving class in the temple, etc. My health still needs improvement, but I feel great inside.

HpS - ASA ---  AGTSP paoho....    We are so happy to hear from you.   We all thought you might have been eaten by the great snake of time. Your Sadhana sounds enviable!

NIMSAR Congress for August is taking shape. Many details giving by our fine secretary Gandharva Prabhu.

We need to get together soon to talk about your participation in the Congress. We need your kindly help to invite people to participate with us in this great experience. We already talked to Mathuresh Prabhu and Baladeva Prabhu. They are very excited about their participation, other people as well.

ASA - Because of the one month of travel we did not read his Reports. It seems we should read them all today.

We need to talk about your peruvian tour also in order to allow us to help you a little bit.

It's a great honor working with you and other fine devotees like NIMSAR People and others.

Thank you very much for your advice and mercy to your humble (no much) servant

Laksmana-agraja das.

ASA - But you wanted to fix a time for a meeting, no????    We heard from Daffy Duck that you were considering Wednesday morning. Is that correct?  Seems good for us. Shall we include others, like Swami Sattva???  Who else wants to join?   ASA is a Funcional Family (Ie. nobody is in jail and everybody is talking to everybody else).

6 minutes past midnight. We answered five new and three old letters. Only 10-in the box. Abhi' and LAD were supposed to write to us here about meeting dates but we did not see any letters from them. I guess everything is coming through.
Our physical energy is returning and we are getting our feet on the ground. We have communicated with:

Visvambara Das
Dr. Samaresh
NgDas
Srivasa Pandita Das
Upendra and Srinivasa Das and Radha-krsna Das.
We can't get ahold of Hari-lila Das and
Had nice talk with Pandava in Seattle.
Tandavika here in Nashville.

Our Plans for Serving Krsna are getting more organized. This education symposium in July is 90% fixed and the tour of San Jose, Seattle, Boise about the same. Seems that we will work on our NOD-BhVai seminar. It is intellectually very interesting and extremely important for any devotees personal spiritual life also.
O.K. Some more Japa.

A Few Word from Beijing

10 years ago by sita in Personal Sadhana Reports

 Dear Guru Maharaj

please accept my respectfull obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupad 

First of all I apologize for not writing before, when we recieved your mail we had just arrived in the Hong Kong temple, the devotees there where very kind and they infomed us about Sun Wo Kong, the Chinesse Hanuman. Thank you for always showing us how to connect everything with Lord  Krishna  Lord Rama Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Their pastimes ans devotees, by your personal example of how to alway remember Krishna and never forget Him.

HpS - AGTSP!!!!     We apologize for not answering sooner. This letter arrived just before we left for India and Europe so we are only seeing it now. It seems exciting.

Right now we are in Beijing, my husband is working on some artistic presentations with a new devotee here, she is a singer, she met the devotees a few months ago, and came to Mayapur where we were introduced. Li Xin was very atracted by HH Krishna-sketra Maharaj, and  he suggested that we combine forces and prepare a concert on the Bagavad Gita and the Sri Isopanishad, for November-December, so we are here for that purpose now,  Li Xin also want me to dance for that program also. We had 3 presentation last month, the public is very receptive, we hope that it can continues this way, without the authorities realizing that we are presenting KC. There are many devotees here who are very kind, we see them 2 times a week and Premarasarnava pr gives them Mridanga lessons, they have a kirtan group and they perform in local theaters, we cannot go with them because of the political situation, but they are very happy and enthusiastic, Kirtan is being given to the masses, and this gives them life.  

We are also both helping Ananta Sarovara Mataji, with some transliteration work for Garga Samhita, canto 7, when she agreed to teach me , she said that she would help me for our help in return so this is the deal, she is translating for Danavir Goswami and we just help her with the tranlitaration and the word for word, it is a very sweet service we both fell very happy to have been given this as a method to study Sanskrit. About little Madhu-mangal and Aditi, we are stuck on the 5th verse of NOI. What should we do? wait untill everything is done and then send it to you or send you the chapters as they come along? Or send them to some devotees for proff reading and feedback? We did not hear from Prana pr yet, he must be busy. You asked about our Plan to go to Argentina, we are not fixed on anything yet, but we where thinking of going there after December, I have not met Premarasarnava pr's parent yet and they miss him a lot. The devotees in the temple keep asking him when he will return. 

 I hope that you are well and that  your trip to India is smooth, I feel very sorry that we wont be able to meet this time. Thank you Guru Maharaj for all your suport and inspiration, praying to always remain in your service your daughter Sukanya Sita dd. 

HpS - AGTSP.... Please chant Hare Krsna and be happy!   Please send what ever Sanskrit study material you have as soon as you can. Post it here in installments.  Yes, Prana is very busy.   We will go to Chile in January, maybe December.   We are just looking for people with whom we can engage in dialog about Srila Prabhupada's books.
When we were in Madrid we found maybe the last Spanish translation of Journey to the West and captured it for Miguel Polo in Lima. More news.
