Ooooooooooo o  o         o ffff!   Left the DC Temple at 1.PM got here to Denver Temple at 10PM DC time. Just settled in. Headed for the airport with very nice devotee. Asked him, "You know we are going to the Regan Airport, no?" He hesitated and said, " No, I thought I was supposed to take you to the Dulles airport".
Turned on the smart phone and after a couple of little mistaked we arrived at Ronal Ray Guns international airport. O.K. Chant Hare Krsna in Hell.

Then the loading ramp wouldn't work so we had to shuffle gates. We are like 90th person in the loading sequence but Krsna did some extreme miracle and we got on like 20th and got a window seat. Watch the land below.

A few other crazy things. A suitcase ran over our bare toes. DON'T BECOME YOUR ENEMIES ENEMY!

We have a letters going back for two weeks. These next few days seems to be Krsna arrangement to not travel and do less local classes.

O.K. Take rest.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!    Krsna Krsna Krsna Krsna!!  HAre HaRe harE! .. . kirtaniya sada harih.

 All glories to Sri Hps Guru Maharaja Ki Jay

Goura Bhakta Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisanses on the Guru Maharaja's padmacharan that for the last two weeks we had started Nama Hatta in the Guruji's room where Guruji stay during Manipur (Thoubal) visit with sankrtan. Nanda Gopa das give the importance of Nama Hatta and instruct us to continue continuously.  He wans to make a trust for publication of new books (in translation into Manipuri) from other languages. He had translated some more books in Manipuri but we have no money reserved for this purpose and all are poor bhaktas as Guruji had already known. In Manipur specially in Thoubal no one is taking interest in publishing religious books for the ISKCON bhaktas. Most of the bhaktas are illiterate, so they are not intersted for fund collection for this matter. 

Next Sunday, any how some action will be taken for further course of action with the blessings of Guru Maharaja. 
Yours fallen servant

HpS - AgtSP!  -  It is so, so, so, so, so nice that you have got onto this Blog. We almost died with the pressure of the Symposium on Education in Texas last weekend. We were the Organizing Secretary and it was so very good. Everyone said that it exceeded their wildest dreams.

Because of that we are a little behind in answering letters, but we made yours priority.
If you look at www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.htm you will see our schedule. We started with USA tour today at 2.15AM and arrived in Richmond, Virginia, near the USA capitol. Program starts in 30 minutes so we are squeezing in this letter for you and for all.

You reports are great. Any "guru-puja" you do for us MUST include guru-puja for Srila PRabhupada, no? He should be worshipped first and we should get any puja as his remnants!

Also you publiching programs seems wonderful. Why not become rich Manipuri Bhaktas. Make some recordings of Manipuri music. Make a little movie and we can distribute it and then you can collect for publishing in Manipuri language.

Make a little movie about somebody, so girl who does something, or her friend visits from USA. O.K?

Seattle visit

9 years, 9 months ago by Rashmin dd in Calendar Development

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja,

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

I just wanted to take the opportunity to write and ask about your visit to Seattle. We were wondering if you have a schedule lined up for your activities ie. bhagavatam classes, bhagavad- gita classes, house programs, etc. It would be nice to get your association in this way. Also would there be an opportunity to render some service to you while we are visiting? Please let us know. We are excited to see you :)

Your aspiring servant,

Rasa-mandali dasi

AGTSP - We will post a letter. Look for it. HpS

Hare Krsna BELOVED Gurudeva 

AGTSP 

PAMHO
 

I hope this meets YOu in really good health ¡¡¡

Despite we communicate everyday at Japa Joe, I think that it is mandatory that I report in detail my activities plus, this letter is urgent because I am going to humbly request your blessings because without that  I can not do anything.

1.- We continue with our service as chief pujari in wilson now we have 3 more kids JBS JAYA.. new devotees to work with it is a struggle because everybody has a different personality etc ufff we just need to be patient, also the authorities are kind of changing and we were accostumed to work in one way and now we just have to adjust some things. My politic is not to get involve in politics jeje I just do my service and work with the authority that Krsna has chosen. 

HpS - ASAS - AGTSP paoho... Enthusiasm is more importan than patience. If you have a nice goal in mind for improved relations with each person, appreciating the value of the difference of each person and develop a nice way to reach that goal you will be enthusiastic and patience follows as a delightful result, like watching a flower grow at an amazing pace!

We go to chosica once a month and do service in pujari from noon to night it is very nice to spend one day in chosica with RMB, the sun, etc. We feel really blessed to have the association of the deities again. <img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" />

2.- We are organizing Balaram purnima well trying jeje as U told me once my first duty as chief pujari is to involve others in the service so I asked for help in  many different ways. not just money they can bring some fruit, flour, flowers, etc but it is a pitty that just some very few actually people colaborate with us, If just one of all the devotees bring some bhoga for example we can do marvelous preparations for the deities, So WHAT CAN I DO TO MOTIVATE THEM??

HpS - ASA - Srila Prabhupada told Panca-dravida Swami to preach to people that were not chanting their rounds, then if they would not listen not to become influenced by their bad behavior but to continue with a good example and because they were following 4-principles and doing some service, Karma-yoga, then they would feel guilty to see his example and eventually start to act properly. That's one suggestion. There are more in P'pada's books!

3.- Ratha yatra 2014 we are part of the RY team ¡¡ along with Rohini kumar das and Narayani dd (BBS), again we need a lot of support, so the same question as above...So WHAT CAN I DO TO MOTIVATE THEM to support the RY ??
 HpS - ASA - One above, another here. "sangat sanjayate kaman", NOI. One's desires and ambitions develop fromt he company he keeps. Who are the associates of the people you want to enthuse? Find out who amongst them are you friends. Get them to help and then engage them in motivating their friends. Put up names of donors: "Oh, my friends have given S./ 75 this week, I also shall give"..

 

...we need lots of funds, we are going to do activities etc... but basically we need your blessings Gurudeva please I see Lord Jaghannatha's face and I just feel inspire...

4. OUr BV should be better I am realizing that many verses I have lost :) I need to refresh them and sometimes a whole review needs to be done.

HpS - ASA - Yes, us also. We must print our revised PVB (Personal Verse Book)!!!

5.- I am kind of delay with my thesis, the tests that I have taken and I am going to use as a sample needs to be graded by another person who is taking some time, but I am going to push her to hurry up.

   HpS - Jaya!

6.- I am taking harmonium and singing classes it is very relaxing I have presented once in the temple jeje it was ok I think now in Balaram purnima I am going to perform again it is really nice to see how the holy name does everything I like to play in front of my deities I have my personal harmonium and i sing for Them for hours jeje it really pacifies and heals my heart :)

HpS - ASA --- Very nice! Another lady can play drum and another Kartals? Three is good for music.

7.- I am also taking cooking lessons to improve my cooking abilities it is really nice I can say now I can prepare that for Krsna ¡¡¡¡¡ <img alt="wink" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.png" title="wink" width="23" />, my mom also helps me with tips the day before yesterday we cooked together really nice.

8.- I am giving spanish classes to one hindu girl she is married her name is chetalli she is so nice really pious, her grandmother worships tulsi does ekadasi, and one day I was with my SB in english she saw and told me, U read SB??? I said yes, do you have the whole collection??? yes I said she replied can U give me to me the first volume to read???? yes I said then she started to read the sanscrit, when she finished learning spanish a good practice for her would be reading SB, I felt so good she was reading Prabhupada's SB <img alt="angel" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angel_smile.png" title="angel" width="23" />

Well I guess that's it sorry for the long letter

Thank U for all your effort in the symposium ¡¡¡ NAS ki jaya 

We already have learned a lot

Tryinng not be an embarrasement for U

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP. Paoho. Yesterday, Monday, our day of rest after the symposium we had to work so hard to organize the "Rest". Then we gave like 4-1/2 hours of classes. Ja! Ja! Jare! We were not tired on Sunday, we were exhausted. Then by Monday we recovered enought to be exhausted. Sesa Das, Director, Rama-giridhari Das - Executive Secretary said again and we never thought Hanumat Swami's is idea was very practical. This exceeded our expectations. It is a revolution in ISKCON education. They were so, so enthused that devotees from S. America came for each Session.

NOW they want to plan a SAS. We were thinking of end of January??? Especially of motivated leaders? What do you and everyone else think?

This is just like Goloka!!!  Surrounded by devotees. More service than you can handle that requires intense attention at everymoment. Push it one inch more and you have  a brain stroke.

We can't include Japa Joe now. Trying getting up at 3.15AM then all of our rounds in the Temple to 20, during the morning program. Up all morning with little rest after lunch. Symposium is coming at us like six guns!

We will try to keep Tweeting in Twitter at lot.

Thank you .
