Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am chanting 16 rounds and following the 4 regulative principles. We are trying to serve Paramananda Gaura Nitai to the best of our abilities.

We are back in Atlanta after 6 weeks in India. It was a good trip, Guru Maharaj.

Me and my parents went to Mayapur for 5 days. We stayed in the Conch building, which was so convenient, especially for my parents.

We started reading Srimad Bhagavatam - just the verse and translation - and we read two or three chapters every day. We are in Canto 3 chapter 31 now. Our plan is to finish reading the entire Bhagavatam, Chaitanya Charitamrta, Prabhupada Lilamrta and Bhagavad Gita within next six months.

HPS/ASA - 🐵 Wow!

Praying for success in this endeavor Guru Maharaj.

Mayapur during Kartik was a wonderful experience. Mangala Arti in Mayapur is my most favorite experience Guru Maharaj. H. H. Jayapatak Maharaj was also there during our visit and he gave SB class on a couple of days.

Damodarashtakam and arti during the evenings were intense. We also got a tour of TOVP and its majestic to behold. Visiting Mayapur after 6 years was so fulfilling Guru Maharaj. It was a spiritual boost.

I will be in Houston for the Vyasa Puja Guru Maharaj. I am eagerly waiting for Jan 13th Guru Maharaj.

The first draft of the verse book is also ready Guru Maharaj. I have sent you the details on Whatsapp. Please let me know how we can proceed on that. It would be wonderful to release it on Vyasa Puja day Guru Maharaj.

HpS - What we saw on WhatsApp was too advanced for us to review, so I think I asked for a Word file. We haven't heard back from you. Did you send it??

I think the print layout and then verse organization would need work to get the idea of what we were hoping for.

It is like just putting the arms where the legs are but what you have done seems 90% fine.

Did you go for any solitary walks in Mayapura??

Dear Maharaja,

Namaste! Sadar Pranams! Hare bol!

What is your understanding of remembering Krishna all the time? I wrote an article in remembering Krishna all the time. Hopefully, you like it.

Remembering Krishna: Beyond Mental Focus

Within the Bhakti tradition, particularly in Iskcon, one of the most cherished instructions is to "always remember Krishna." But what does this truly mean? Many associate it with the dedicated chanting of Haridas Thakur, who devoted over 20 hours a day to this practice. While his dedication inspires awe, is such constant mental focus feasible for everyone?

Instead of solely focusing on the mind, I propose ...

HpS - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. Paoho. We understand as it is described in https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/8/

is pretty detailed and precise,no??

🐵

Just, agtSP, twenty minute call with H. G. Hansarupa Das about Peru, Gangamayi Devi Dasi, case.

Summarized what we know and at this point just waiting for his results.

Hari bolo.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Below message is for my God brothers and God sisters who will be in Houston for Vyasapuja.

This message is for English-speaking, non-Latino disciples of Hanumatpresaka Maharaja who will physically attend his Vyasa Puja in Houston on January 13th.

1. If you would like to present an in-person verbal offering to Guru Maharaja on January 13th event, please join this WhatsApp group as soon as possible so we can add your name and reserve a time slot: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BccNtSj7rcaAWYSmVYSHec .
2. Requests for making in-person verbal offerings to Maharaja on January 13th won't be accepted after January 5th. The guidelines for presenting offerings are as follows: (a) Please bring a written offering. (b) Please limit your offering to 3 minutes. 
3. We are also assisting devotees with information about accommodations and any pick up/drop off help we are able to offer. Please join the above whatsApp group to request help. Sundari Radhika previously posted about the whatsApp group here: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14520/ but I think there may be devotees who plan to be in Houston but not in the group.

 PS: Latino devotees visiting Houston will present their offerings to Maharaj on January 11th.

WhatsApp:

Maharaja, I just remembered the time you took us around to show Murfreesboro when we visited you. There are nice Christmas lights 1 mile from the temple. Many nice decorations. Would you like us to drive you around to see them?

HpS/ASA - We would but guess there is no time, now.

Thank you.
