Nitay gaura premanandi !!!!!

HpS - AGTSP -- Paoho.  Thank you. In the center is Jayanta?????

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

pamho, AGtSP!

Thank you so much for your valuable association…I will never look at molasses the same way again.

The few moments of your association brought more realizations in Krsna consciousness. Now seeing levels of scholarship in Bhakti and becoming less hesitant in associating with school (still know I’m a fool). Your superbly executed classes also contributed to this too, unfortunately there are not many instructors at your level, regardless am going to continue in pursuance of bhakti “buddhi” as best as possible.

Personal exchanges on the platform of sattya are amazing, so much sincere dialogue just escalates more inquiries and confirmations of our life’s purpose. Unlike any other communications from professional discourses to casual conversation…the technical emotions and profound logic in devotional relations need no actual definition, yet they are available.  Our Sadhana programs seem to encompass all facets of knowledge and desire even if we aren’t aware of specifics, got to love that mercy!
 

Also appreciate the candor of your frankness, just enhances the mood of friendship for old and new acquaintances. For me it also helps understanding my own shortcomings and the lessons of karma, even in “flood-pants”. Our individual demise and personal inequities are valid lessons if we are keen on acknowledging them; such is the potency of the science of self-realization.

The “Jaw-Paw” is still on schedule, new service times have helped, though seva is always waiting for me, learning to prioritize a little better now. Still actually need to focus using fingers, mouth, tongue, ears and mind (not necessarily in that order) while getting mantra-cadence. If done I am able to beat my average 10 minute per round mark. Not easy though, was born to run and that includes my mind, just doesn’t stop so easy. What is good if I can get the “reins on d’ brain” may actually get much faster, will keep you up dated.

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP!   Try chanting a few 3-second Mantras, maybe one round [with love].

We’re all looking forward to y’all’s return visit to Houston; Subhra always appreciates your support and guidance. However, she’s not completely satisfied with how management is handling school priorities keeping in mind it is a new project/ school. Acknowledging this, we also remember some of the trials and tribulations you’ve tolerated in this movement, so patience is being invoked. Ultimately, if decision-makers get too sluggish and splintered there are other devotee facilities, we’ll jockey this horse for now…Yee Haw!

All glories to your service, thank you for your valuable time.

Your servant in training,

caitanya caritamrta das, das anu das.

HpS - ASA - Thank you. Hare Krsna. Krsna was personally arranging all of the dice games, disrobings and finally the battle of Kuruksetra to achieve his ends, no? So we have to look for His plan and "take our place on the Great Mandala, as it moves through our brief moment of time.". See you in 21 days!

In superable picture.

Hare Krishna Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeiscences, all glories to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Gauranga.

How is your health Maharaj? Couple of weeks back we heard your lecture that was given in Houston, Tx. unfortunately we could hear it completely (stopped in the middle, some issues with internet) Spoke to Radhika Raman Prabhu an hour back and got your information.

ISKCON of Richmond, VA devotees are waiting for your association Maharaj, Is there any chance that you can accommodate a trip to this place (any week-end or anytime at your convenient) in this summer. Now we are a bit stream lined the process and trying to outreach people through "Book Distributions", street Kirtana and celebrating the festivals (inviting the public).

On our personal front, by the mercy of "Nitai Chaitanya Chandra" and "your belssings", sadhana is going well (Chanting and Everyday reading), Attending BYC @ VCU (every Tuesday) and attending "Bhakti Shastri" (all three of us) along with our weekly ISKCON of Richmond program (Book distribution).

And also we have a plan to visit India this summer (after 3 years), Kids and KPDD will leave JUN 13th and back on Aug 09th and I will be leaving on JUL 12th back on Aug09.

Maharaj, it feels like a long time, please consider a trip to Richmond, Va.

Your Humble Servant,

Subala Sakha Das (Srinivas) and Krishna Pramodini Devi Dasi

HpS - Aaaaah!  AGTSP paoho. Such a long, long, time since we have heard from you. It is so sad not to get more frequent news!  Yes, we would like very much to visit Virginia. How to do it???     Practically speaking it seems with your your travels and our travels we are BOOKED almost day to day until 1st week in Octoboer. If you look at our Calendar - ww.jayarama.us/kd/cal.htm, you can see the details:

Nashville, Houston, Nashville, India-Europe, Nashville, West-coasts - Mexico - Houston, South America, Nashville..... 

How about that? We plan a good visit in the Fall or Winter?

Your preaching sounds wonderful and if your travel coincides with the program on the calendar we can meet their also. Of course, our very deept respects to Mataji and "the next generation" in your house.

AGTSP

paoho....   5.52PM. . . .    All letters answered up to one day ago.   Our life airs are really disturbed, (turbed), [(turbed)]..  Little naseau, headache....   Hmmm!   Rama-navami evening. . . .

Guess it is just the same for you.

We have some service in the Sankirtan movement. We have maybe too many services in the Sankirtan movement. We have some "services" that are 70% sense gratification...        We have to purify our service.

Set priorities.

Find the pure and natural motivation in our service.

Avoid bad association.

              Like Arjuna in the BG.   He was associating (as friends, family, enemies) in the wrong way. He had to purify his perspective, all the time...   Hare Krsna.... 

Jaya Sri Rama!
Birth of Rama!
New Life for Us?!!!

Dear Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Sorry for not writing nowadays i'm quite lazy and not a big writer :/ but i think about You lot of times and read your blog regularly.
Everything is ok with me and my husband. It seems we had grown up and after 12 years marriage we got used to each other's anarthas so we get along well.

HpS - ASA -- Two frogs in the same well. -[;0)---

In January we didn't have a car for a month so couldn't start the BhVai course in the Manor and i just procrastinate the Bhagavatam study but i don't work at this moment so i can start studying.
Nowadays i read Krsna book, CC and Srila Prabhupada Lilamrita.

We are very fortunate and happy to be here near to Bhaktivedanta Manor. Radha Gokulananda are very merciful. (pic attached) In the last 2 weekends Candramauli Swami gave classes and he will speak on Rama Navami as well. His classes make us inspired.

My chanting is a bit better. I still chant with offenses but by Radharani's and Srila Prabhupada's causless mercy i have a tiny taste from the Holy Name and i feel myself very happy about that. I try to insist on my chanting more and more and try to respect the Holy Name as i can.
The life is not easy with lot of anarthas that i have but by Krsna's mercy everything is possible. It would be nice to leave the anartha nivritti behind this life.
Please say a prayer for me, Maharaja so i want to surrender and give up my bad habits!

I'm waiting for your Spanish visit. We will arrive on the 13th late afternoon and hopefully we can talk a bit to you on the 13th or the 14th.
Thanks a lot for your association.

All the best!

Your servant, Sri Radhe devi dasi

HpS - Very nice. We also arrive a little late and 13th-14th are available. 15th we go to Pisa, and then back to Spain, and then to Radhadesa. All in the ASA Calendar.

We mailed a Tava pache pache journal to Sri Radha Dasi; Flat 5, 38 Clarendon Road; M16 8LD; Manchester U.K. and it came back to us. What is your current address?

We do whatever Sadhana we can when our anarthas are less and then hope the positive stuff will gradually chase away the negative stuff!  Hare Krsna. Well, we should engage in our Anarthas along with Krsna so that we can enjoy them and purifiy them.  SB 2.3.10!!!

Just fun!!!!!   SB.3.2.23

Dear Gurudeva,
Pleas accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Sri Guru Parampara.
All glories to this Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtana Movement!!!
All glories to my spiritual master, a bonafide succesor of the Guru Parampara.

Constantly i remember how blessed i was to have been able to serve you in Bolivia's festival at Mathuresh prabhu's hose. Every time that remembrance come into my mind i feel like if it was yesterday that i heard the bhagavata philosophy from your own lips. I just find myself unable to thank you for so much mercy.
As you asked me and Sri Radha D.D. we went to another astrologer and he asked us to wait until November for attempting to marring because of some planets of me. For us it's ok, we still have so much things to work on our own consciousness, even though, we are very happy together.

Gurudeva, i also spoke to you about Queretaro's preaching center project, now i live in Queretaro city and next week i will sign the contract for the house we all (the devotees we are traning from the city) are going to rent for that purport. Im very happy Krsna is allowing me to do this wonderfull service. Yesterday ISKCON Queretaro participated into a local economy festival at the main plaza and even though i could not be there (because i came to my brother's wedding) devotees from Cueramaro helped us by going there and support with BBT table and also kirtan in the scenario. The congregation in Queretaro is very happy and thankfull towards Srila Prabhupada, they are very eager to expand this movement all over the city.

The last thing i want to thank you for, is all the inspiration i recieve every day through your words, acts and desires of pleasing Srila Prabhupada. As a result of that inspiration, now i engaged into a project of translating all the information from www.TOVP.org such as video-documentaries, video-interviews, written interviews and written news, so that the spanish speaker devotees can benefit by participating at that very wonderfull project in Sri Mayapur-Dhama. I have to admit that i'm very surprised of Krsna's ways... I started this all alone last month, translating the raising moon video, it took me the whole month, but suddently when i started to post it into Facebook and also admin a new FB page with the news and so on, more and more devotees started to ask: What can i do to help more devotees get benefited?.

My heart is completely thankfull to you Gurudeva, for allowing me to participate into this transcendental pastime of Lord Gauranga manifest in this material world.

Your Forever aspirant servant,
Krishna-kirtana Dasa.

HpS - ASA ---   AGTSP. paoho.

Thank you so much for the news!!!   We hope to visit Bolivia again.
 

 There are some highly qualified persons who accept only the good qualities of others. Just as a bee is always interested in the honey in the flower and does not consider the thorns and colors, highly qualified persons, who are uncommon, accept only the good qualities of others, not considering their bad qualities, whereas the common man can judge what are good qualities and what are bad qualities.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 4.4.12  .....   PURPORT: ...

There are some highly qualified persons who accept only the good qualities of others. Just as a bee is always interested in the honey in the flower and does not consider the thorns and colors, highly qualified persons, who are uncommon, accept only the good qualities of others, not considering their bad qualities, whereas the common man can judge what are good qualities and what are bad qualities.

Among the uncommonly good souls there are still gradations, and the best good soul is one who accepts an insignificant asset of a person and magnifies that good quality.

Even greater are those who see the BAD qualities of others as good qualities. 

Cuando va en Hari-nama Sankirtana siempre lleva banderas colorosos. Incluya dramas simples pero con mucho entusiasmo en su predica.
