[Hare Krishna Gurudeva!  


Danvadat Pranam

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Lokanath Prabhu had some hesitation because of his health issues, but decided to go for it.

I could check with NitiSara to figure out accommodations for him?


HpS/ASA -Yes! We forwarded these posts to Nitisara Das, and posted them here with little editing.

O.K.?


We are traveling to Boise on the same flight 9/19 and he is returning on the 25th,


ASA - That is Ekadasi, no? Bad day for travel, but we can pray to Krsna for special protection!


. . . my girlfriend Cecilia will pick him up and bring him to his place that friday evening & I return the next day (he has an optometrist appt on the 26th).


His ticket was $355 after the luggage charges.


HpS/ASA - Wonderful! Putting $400 in our Piggy bank ASAP to cover the costs.


Hare Krishna, Gurudeva!  

Your servant,

MBRDDas


[8/6, 3:14 PM] HP Swami - Prof HHR:

AgtSP. Paoho. This is super news. You know the room where they usually accommodate us, no?


Maybe Lokanatha Das and I could share it?!!


HpS/ASA - Maybe we can start to workout some presentations that Sriman Lokanatha Das to do?

Eg. Bring along some puppet stuff.

Buy two suitcases of luggage space if required.

Shadow puppets.

Some video stuff.

Jot down some biographical notes.

Gracias gurudeva!!!!!

Vanaprastha, Sannyasa, Death

From HlD - Whatsapp!

Four Stages of Elimination in Life:

At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you'll return to being an ordinary person. So, don't cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!


At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don't say, "I used to be..." or "I was once..." because the younger generation won't know you, and you mustn't feel uncomfortable about it!


At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you'll be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it's an expression of affection, so don't blame them for coming less often, as they're busy with their own lives!


At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don't be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!


Therefore, while our bodies are still capable, live a devotional life to the fullest! Chant our attentive rounds, perform devotional service, read regularly Srimad Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, listen Krishna Katha and honour Krishna prasadam. Let Lord Krishna guide us and give what's good for us.

HpS/ASA.

AgtSP. Paoho. Very, very interesting. One devotee was going to take an early retirement form Hewlett-Packard and we spent like 90-minutes on the phone discussing all this, "If I don't go to work what will I do".

I suggested that he travel with us and preach about his experiences in Grhastha ashrama.

I was a super success.

It even went into the "Times of India".


Like Prabhupada we can become more and more and more sought after, no?


Work connections go, parents, older brothers go, but younger people want our more and more and more mature realization of spiritual life, and also seasoned ideas about B'cari and Grhasta life, no?

Good association always here with Badrinarayan Swami, Dravida, always the temple struggling to get enough pujaris.

I hope someday You can visit again San Diego.

birth, old age, disease and death

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada and All Glory to Sankirtan Movement by Sri Gaura Nitay, and All Glory to ISKCON.

Pleace accept my humble obeisances, Dear HPS, Gurudeva:

These days, once again circumstances make us beg to be able to surrender to Sri Nitay Gauranga, we can observe that old age and illnesses are there to make us stop boasting, death awaits us, many devotees have left, or are very sick, last Tuesday my mother left her body, and there are devotees who tell me that they already feel that they are in the final stretch, and even so the mind seeks distractions, and winning good companies is very difficult, material difficulties are undoubtedly allies when you can live simply. and you're the real example, thank you very much for accompanying us on this path, your attachment to Srila Prabhupada and the Sankirtan. I pray become a devotee to serve properly.

Your crew member Aniruddhakrsna Das.


HpS/ASA -AkogtSP! paOho. Was wondering how you were, and here is a lucid letter.

Most people identify with the boat and when they have to leaves they kick and scream and fight, and then demand to be put back into another boat.


It seems that you have come to the point where you can accept death, leaving your body, without undo violence, attachment, and then you can help others do the same.

Yet the next question is, "What do we do once we leave the body, buddy, boat"?

We have crossed the Atlantic, we have docked in New York, but what do we do now?

If we are living normally, we would have been communicating with our future employers, understanding our job, preparing for it and expecting to be met by a particular persona when we arrived.

So, we do Ekadasi vrata. We learn to live a little more in the spiritual world.

We actually begin to remember what is our job.

Then death is nice.

Giving up our handcuffs and chains!

Correct?

Are you a peanut?

Are you a cow?

Are you a potato?

How do you know how?
