Dear Guru Maharaja, Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

It has been a long time since I have written and I apologize. My life has been a little busier recently. Many things are happening. One of them of course is the new baby we are waiting for.

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!!  Yessss. . . . no news is no breath for us!!  Six new babies is even better!

I briefly mentioned it in my annual report but I wanted to officially send it in a blog letter. I meant to let you know as soon as we found out but I was having a hard time emotionally trying to adjust to the pregnancy. Now we are very happy and excited. The baby will be a boy and is due in May.

ASA - Maybe he will be something fine like a gorrilla!

We ask for your blessings for the child to be a great devotee of Gaura Nitai.

ASA - O.K. A Rama-gorilla!

Also we got a chance to visit you in Seattle last August ( this is how long I have been waiting to write :) ). I wasn't sure if you recognized us but you gave our little girl your maha garland. It was on the night you showed the video on the Ratha Yatra. It was very nice. I got a chance to meet my godsister Kamagayatri dasi and her son Aja. I have only met two godbrothers so far: her and Jiva Goswami in Huston when I visited you. I wish I could meet more.

ASA - My God!  And you never introduced your selves!!!!!!

My husband Yogendra is busy studying to get his BEd. He wants to teach in elementary schools. Currently he is in his second semester at the university and this is another reason why life is a little busy for me as he is busy himself doing his school work assignments and such.

    ASA - Don't give up! Can be a very useful diploma!!!!

As far as sadhana I am following 4 principles and chanting 16 rounds- although that might change again when baby comes, regarding japa of course. Just wanted to write. I was hankering for your association. I hope you are well. Your aspiring servant, Rasa-mandali dasi

HpS - ASA -  Thank you very much . . .   and  . . . how is the Yatra, President, your parents???  Nice picture!!! The Divine Family... <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

<big>We are in Houston Temple. It is 3.28PM. Hari-lila Das just arrived from Sugar land. We will call Sadhu and work on the July 29th Education Symposium, and at 5PM is the Sunday Feast. We are naturally more pushed to look for deeeper reasons to act. We see that the practical service that we have been doing is now being handled better by younger devotees. Our short-term memory is terrible but we have a lot of practical experience.</big>

<big>We answered all the mail up to 3-days ago. Tommorrow we give th SB class for the Hawaii E-sanga.com. It will be about Bhima-sena!!!</big>

<big>O.K. Little Prasad and back to work.</big>

Carta para su excelencia Hanumatpresaka Swami

10 years, 3 months ago by mercedes in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krsna Maharaja,     Por favor acepte mis más humildes reverencias. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

     Soy Mercedes, la aspirante a devota del templo de Madrid. Gracias por acogerme en su blog de 

     ASA.

     No he estado con su Señoría antes en ningún viaje a Valencia, sería otra devota (le adjunto una foto mía).

     Le conocí de vista en una clase que impartió en el templo a las 8 am y después en las iniciaciones,

     no tuve la suerte de poder hablar con usted personalmente.

      He leído el Guru-tattva como usted me pidió, para comprender el papel de guru y discipula.  

      También me pidió mi opinión y me parece todo correcto. Casualmente estaba leyendo el

      Upadesamrta.

      Me estoy levantando a las 6 de la mañana, espero poder levantarme un poco antes, canto Guru-

      Astakam y   Maha- Mantra (desde que leí el Guru-tattva) ; ofrezco un incienso, una vela y una

      flor; y canto rondas (desde hace más de un año).

      Gracias por contestar mi carta, estoy muy agradecida, me postro a sus pies.

       Su aspirante a dicípula.

HpS = Gracias el foto, todo. Muy bien....  Como esta occupado durante la dia? Professor de medicina? Carpenteria? Plomberia? Lucha libre???   Tiene un mascoto, amigos? Como estan su padres?
 

Regarding transcription

10 years, 3 months ago by nataraj in Personal Sadhana Reports, Special Category B

Hare Krishna dear guru maharaj,

Please accept my dandavat pranams, All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

The NOI audio files are good maharaj, it is helping me to  understand the value of  upadesamritha. I am deeply thankfull for giving me the oppertunity to transcribe. 

I have been able to get up at 4AM, but after taking hot water shower, doing guru puja and  6 rounds, I am feeling sleepy  and going back to sleep at around 6AM and getting up again at 7AM. I normally am doing 6-7 rounds in the morning and rest of them I am doing while driving to work  or sometimes in the evening. 

I was able to chant 16 rounds in the morning, if I was not taking hot water shower maharaj. 

I am reading 1 verse of Bagavatham daily and doing service at the temple on weekend.  I am making progress on transcription and job is going fine maharaj. I am looking for a nice paying governement job near home, so that I can be little more relaxed in my life and chant better rounds.

Please take care of your health maharaj.

your servant

Nilachala Chandra Das

HpS - ASA - AGTSP. You are transcibing the second class? How far have you gotten. What about taking a cool-water bath. Bh.Vinode Thakura would have supper at 6PM. Take rest for 2-hours and then say good night to the rest of the family. Stay up all night writing, and then take nap just before breakfast.
