Please accept my sincere obeisances at your lotus feet, Maharaj.
      HpS - ASA - The swelling has basically disappeared from our feet and legs now that we spend most of our time sitting ON our desk rather than At it.

¿How are you? ¿How is your health? I hope this find you in a veeeeery good health :) !!!

HpS - Hmmm! Probably the same as yours. I have a back ache, rear-end aches, breathing is a little constricted form old age. Vision is definitely getting weak, teeth don't ache but the new missing incisor whole is still suspiciously sensitive. Ha! Ha!   This body doesn't get diseases, this body is a disease!

Well Maharaj, I wanted to answer to the letter you answered me ..thanks you for that, His Holiness is always so kind with us, we really appreciate that.. is like taste honey...that calms our hearts. 

Recently we had the Ratha Yatra Festival, was AWESOME! We had also the association of Gaura Vani Maharaj, and Bhakti Marga Swami  <3 INCREDIBLE! ... very nice. We had the opportunity to serve Bhakti Marga Swami... my heart was filled up with so much love, I cannot be more gratefull to Krsna. Here I send you some picture of aaallll of this. <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />

My male associate is Seva Kunja Das, disciple of BhaktiMarga Swami. In the visit of his Guru Maharaj, he talked about our situation with HH, and he told us that we're doing the second best thing that we can do, the first one is to get married before to move in togheter...But we want to take things slowly, and for that His Holiness told us to keep things "cold". Also, he told him about the intentions we have about getting married, maybe next year. But, we want to do things right and nicely. ¿Can I ask for your benediction in this? <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" />

    HpS - Oh, God!      Oooof!    I agree with Maharaja. First class is safer. You live in different places and get to know each other from that situation, so we certainly hope that everything goes ahead O.K. It is like adding gasoling to the stove while it is cooking lunch.
As Maharaja says, "Be cool!". Get a lot friends to help.

<ins>Also, I wanted to ask you about Devotees taking care of Shilas and Gopal, what about that? Can gaudiya vaisnavas adorate those deities? </ins>

<ins>HpS - Yes, many of the Goswamis had Govardhana and Saligram silas. Prabhupada installed Them in Mayapura. Gopal is Krsna, but real worship requires second initiation. Should not keep Silas, but Gopal is nice, especially take shelter of Srila Prabhupada's Yatra Deities.</ins>

I have enclosed pictures of Ratha Yatra , Seva Kunja and I, and I with a costume of Hanumanji! <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />

THANK YOU :))))))))))))))))))))))))!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!

HpS - Nice fotos!!!!  Thank you !!!  More!

All glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Radha Krishna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brinda Ki Jay.

I am submitting my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji’s padmachanran and asking my darkness for highlighting that in the purport of Bhagavatam 3.25.39 here mention that “ Kuvera is one of the eight demigods who are in charge of different directions of the universe. It is said that Indra is incharge of the eastern side of the universe, where the heavenly planet, or paradise is situated. Similarly, Agni is in charge of the southestern portion ……….. and Kuvera, the treasurer of the demigods, is in charge of the Northern part of the universe.

  In this purport, it is clearly mentioned the eight demigods but written only seven who is the eight one?

            They are :       1) Indra, king of the demigods                                 -           Eastern

                                    2) Agni, in charge of fire                                          -           Southeastern

                                    3) Yama, who punishs sinners                                  -           Southern

                                    4) Nirrti  ……………..                                            -           Southwestern

                                    5) Varun, in charge of water                         -           Western

                                    6) Vayu, in charge of air                                           -           Northern

                                    7) Kuvera, in charge of wealth                                 -           Northeastern

Looking on the internet, Wikipedia, we went through three pages and got Siva as the Dig-pal for the Northwest!!

And what is the responsibility of Nirrti (4) like Varun in charge of water, Vayu in charge of air. Please highlight my darkeness.

HpS - ASA - Back to the Wikipedia!  . . . . . . .   Not much detail. She is mentioned in the Rig Veda etc. Ni = no, rta= law. So lawlessness. No more clear details.

Yours fallen servant
Yamunesvara Das

HpS - ASA - How was Narendra Modi's visit to Manipur??

 AGTSP !!

 Please accept my humble obeisances

 Dear Maharaja

 We found the Light of the Bhagavata !!   We were wishing to have it after reading about it from you, and one day it was just there in the Temple book kiosk the '96 original edition.  It's just a masterpiece of interdisciplinary-sankirtan and oriental aesthetics as well.  Remember I talked about making some bonsai type Vrindavan pots ?   well,  autum entered and everything green just became hard to work at or even think about..  but this book is keeping the desire to do this service alive and giving us many ideas on where to take it.  We may need some Krishna - Balarama small icons from India, similar to the ones at home to complete each mini garden pot and get-buy the right oriental looking plants..still along way to go...but seems this is what Krishna-Balaram want.  We are beginning to have small exchanges with our small icons-murtins (hand carved in India)  they seem to be aware of who I am and how I can serve, such esoteric activities but so humble and real,  Krishna's opulences, mercy and potencies are inconceivable. They are accepting my poor apartment as their home and my silly self as a servant-caretaker.  Can't fathom it, it just happens.  These murtis are too merciful.  I guess Krishna did like to be on top of the Macchu Picchu !

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!    Very nice to hear from you, Regent Raul of Montreal. If you look in the archives in the section starting lob you can find some ppts and an Index and Table of Contents for the LOB.

On regards Jung, we are looking for your paper on your library, only have 1rst part.  Personally I think he did reach an active and esoteric encounter with Atman and may be even Paramatma.  Although he seems to fuse both together theoretically. He may have reached the Brahman stage of cognition also.  What Srila Prabhupada called the  process from karma yoga to jana to astanga...it seems Mr Jung did go through them.  We also received Suhotra Swami's paper on Vaisnava psychology "Transcendental Psychology,  very interesting but tough to research, seems to be based on the Vasudeva, Sankarsana, Pradyumma, Anirudda aspects and the masculine - femenine aspect of creation.  Krishna-Lasksmi,  (Krishna-Radha as he proposes)  Krishna-Rama  we propose. Detail study of Brahma samhita should clarify the thesis we beleive.  His lectures complement his paper.   Maharaja !  we may see you in Lima !   we'll be there from January 22nd to March 24th.

HpS - Ahhh! If you are receiving our Tweets you know we posted a letter of co-operation to the Philemon Foundation a few days ago. I think it is in the archives starting with the word, "Philemon", if not "nios". The area is too broad to say much in detail until we find some intelligent, informed, people to discuss with. Look for "Philemon.org" on the web. 

Thanks for bringing  Jayananda Prabhu's memory to the present !!!!!    such an inspiration !!!    

you poor, silly servant  Raul

(a pic from '97-'98)  role Lakshmana -  Ramayana  (good memories !)

HpS - Thank you. Your service and consciousness sound fine. Just have to all move ahead with good Japa and full morning program. More in the DTC!

Accept my humble obeisances  Gurudeva

This last friday i was in the U.S consulate in Monterrey Mexico applying for mi Religious visa. Showing myself with devotional clothes, and was an instant preach. The woman in the interview just did two questions. What you gonna do there? And are you single?. I don't show any paper just my passport, and she approved the visa! :D.

HpS - ASA - Jaya! Super'carini!!

Definitely Krishna have a plan, i don't know what it exactly is, but trying to follow your instructions I'm sure this is the right path. I want to thank you for your support with all this and i hope to do good service in Goswami Academy.

Also i want to thank to Saranga Thakur prabhu, Subra mataji, Syamasundar prabhu, deepti (lawer) and all the devotees involved.

Im chanting this last weeks my japa, but with many offenses. I pray to Krishna for less material desires, and at the same time i feel like a lier to ask for that. Forgive me Gurudeva.

HpS - Why are they "material". If you want a nice husband, nice car, nice house, nice partys, nice friends, nice babies, then.... you are in the right place. Of course, maybe you have other material desires. I kind of want my teeth to stop aching. Hole in my face where the Tommy the Tooth came out five days ago it singing a little!
You can get Vasudeva type person for a husband and then get Krsna for your baby. (Ooops one little family problem!)

Im taking time with family, and visiting old friends. My parents really like worship my Nrsihmha deva deity. (So do we!)
I come back to Houston by December first.

(Please call us after you get settled with the CCD/SDD)
 

Reading Upadesambrta and Human devolution ( M. Cremo), taking my old books from home :)

Gurudeva. Are you gonna be in Tennessee for you vyasa puja? Because some devotees in Mexico want to be with you in that special day 

Forgive my offenses
I hope your been well of health

HpS - Poor Govinda, has such a bewildering Girl Friend! And you are serving, Her!
We'll be in Tennessee, but no place to stay here. Snow and polar bears chasing rabbits, but I think we will be on line and of course send all the cookies and crackers you want. We will offer them to Vyasa-deva.

Hare Krishna gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to you!

How are your health?

HpS - AGTSP!!! About the same yours will be when your donkey turns 66-years!<img alt="cheeky" height="23" src="http://www.hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/tongue_smile.png" title="cheeky" width="23" />   Good preparation for death and other delights. Hope your Rathyatra is SUPER!

I want to tell you I’m very focused on service and I realized that I’m not reading and I’ve lost my concentration in my japa. I never leave to chant but I can’t chant good rounds because I’m on passion modality all the time,

• thinking about pendings things that I have to do,
• thinking about new things to do,
• thinking about to preach non-devotees,
• thinking about atitudes that I have to change,
• thinking about attitudes that I have to improve,
• analyzing myself to be better,
• trying to make strong relationships, and
• thinking about what devotees teach me with their attitudes.

I think also that If I try to act in the goodness modality like I did before, I couldn’t do all the service that I want to.

ASA - Oink! -- It's all service! [{(We will now give to you a Secret Mantra that is hiden from all the Vedas. Don't share it with anyone)}}
http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/10/9/5

And Krishna is giving to me the opportunity to do all these service, so I can't neglects them. It’s hard to me looking for a balance. Sometimes I feel too anxious and can not focus in my japa.
I remember my spiritual master said that Krishna sees our effort even if we are not chanting good. He sees our effort to chant better. But sometimes I don’t put any effort to chant because I want to finish my rounds quick to do more service. I don’t have any taste. How can i understand this if the chanting is considered as a service to Krishna too?

HpS - Answer above, no? And how to get the BG 10.10 mentioned, there? [[[Call "Hare Krsna, Hare Rama"}}} If you chant minimum 16-nice rounds on beads then ALLL the other services will improve at the maximum possible speed!

On the other hand, I want to read again like I used to, but I can't find the time to do it.
I put all my energy in the service, sleeping little bit, and when I have a "free" moment I'm so tired, without energy that I only want to take a rest and even trying to read, I fall asleep.

How can I looking for a balance ? I'm happy doing service but I think that my whole sadhana is not the best.

I'm very happy and anxious to see you on January! :)

My respects,

Hare Krshna!

ys,

Belen.

ASA - Milk, milk to quench His thirst. Which one shall I get for Krsna first?
