Dear Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,
please accept my respectful obeisances,
all glories, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to you in your auspicious appearance day!


I'd like to say thank you again for your practical teachings and shared realizations in the path of bhakti yoga.


An old fable (see the link below) came into my mind wherein there is a big-big carrot and granpa wants to pull it out but he is unsuccessful. Therefore grandma joins and they try together and later the daughter and the dog and the cat and finally the mouse... so they made their so called parampara like this.
Fortunately we have a better and not mundane guru parampara and we have more ability than a carrot.
Yes, i know that this example is not perfect, not by a long chalk. But i can say please look after me and pull me out from mud.

 

Thank you for your instructions on chanting Hare Krsna and all the other things!


Hare Krsna,
your servant:

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to you.

Gurumaharaja, You are always very kind to all.

My attendance of mangala-arati was poor for quite some time, but because how much you preach importance of attending mangala-arati, I had always hope and desire to be able to have strong sadhana again. Seems that by your mercy, example and inspiration my mangala-arati is fixed now.

Whenever I raise my hands during kirtan I see you there dancing and jumping, same as when you were here in Mayapur.

You are strong force of vedabase.com project. Without your mercy it will not exist as it is. Whenever there appear some problems in development or maintanance, you and the fact that you are using the website are huge inspiration to continue and overcome all obstacles. Thus we could serve Srila Prabhupada's books to 310,00 people last month.

Thank you for everything. 

Hoping to be able to give you always good news,
Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

              HpS - AGTSP!!!!  Hope to see you in just a few days. Vedabase.com is wonderful! We will use it today at the program with Universidad Federico Santa Maria one of , if not, the best engineering schools in South America.

If we dance in Mangala arati, our whole is dancing.

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet,

      HpS - AGTSP We are still struggling to control our mind and senses, but we are making progress.

.  . . all glories to Srila Prabhupad and Guru Dev.

We are not qualified to be worth of your disciples, but still you picked us up and gave the inspiration to walk in to the right path and that showed your love and caring for the fallen souls.

We don’t have words to express our good fortune, when you visited and stayed with us last September and felt like the below verse is walking in front of us.

brahmānda bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva
guru-k
rsna-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja

While your stay with us, fortunately with Krishna’s mercy, we got an opportunity to see and understood, what is “Simple living and High thinking”, and you stood by an example for great many qualities.

Day before Yesterday, while I’m checking something on internet, I come across last year’s Vyasa puja and I started listening one more time and by the time I complete, it gave me so much inspiration, that we have to do something right away. With the mercy of ISCON of Richmond, we celebrated our last day of the year, with an extended Kirtan, group chanting and Kid’s drama play (Me and MY mind) and Maha Harati at mid-night.

We continued the same on the next day (Jan 1st), with a book distribution (for 6 hours) in a Hindu Center (a temple of many gods including the Supreme) and it went so successful, able to distribute lot of books with the help of other devotees from ISCON of Richmond. All this motivation is happened just by listening to your words last night and realized the true potency of a pure soul.

Unfortunately, we are unable to express the feeling that is in the heart in words.What else we can write other than bow down to your lotus feet (Manasa, Vaacha and Karmana) and begging for your mercy.

And a frame of Sri Sri Nitai Chaitanya Chandra (last night)

Your humble servant.

               HpS - AGTSP.   It was very inspiring for us to stay with you. You only take birth in India if you were looking for spiritual life in your previous life. You and Mataji and the kids are already doing so much that surely Krsna will give you intelligence how to concentrate your actions for even more results. BG 10.11  We are in Chile now. Hope to see you soon.

AGTSP  (((paoho))) - Here we are in the Cyber Cafe  half a block from the Temple. Wondering if we will get tuberculosos frm the keyboard. GOtta was our hands before we touch anything.

There has been no internet access since Sunday 1AM. It is 2.56 PM now. We are fine. The tour is actually going pretty damn good. We have to be careful not o averamp Brother Ass. He had his birthday yesterday.

About 200 devotees for the Sunday feast.

Basicaally everything seems on schedule.

We try to write more as we get access.

We handled the Yahoo and Blog mail. Got a LOT of VP offerings. They are pretty nice.

Thank you.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Espero que en el dia de su vyasapuja se encuentre bien en compañia de los devotos.

Nunca es facil empezar una ofrenda, menos buscar algo dentro de mi para ofrecer,¿ que le hace falta a un devoto puro como usted? creo que ya lo tiene todo, pero la mision de Srila Prabhupada es mas grande que todos nosotros, por lo tanto todos somos parte de ella, algunos generales como usted y otros peones como yo, no soy el mejor de los dicipulos ni mucho menos el mejor de los devotos, pero solamente puedo jurarle algo, todo el servicio que he hecho y hago, es con completo amor a Srila Prabhupada y la inspiracion y el entusiasmo es completamente producto de la meditacion en usted, en su determinacion, inteligencia y cariño que como dicipulo recibo de usted, eso es lo que me mantiene en la mision de Srila Prabhupada, sin usted, yo no estaría aquí, no estaría sintiendome feliz, solamente puedo prometer que el tiempo que me queda estaré en la mision de Srila Prabhupada, quizas no sea el mejor, probablemente tampoco el peor, pero independiente a mi nivel, solo le ofrezco mi presencia y ayuda en ISKCON y en la propagacion del santo nombre.

                            HpS - Muchas Gracias, Senor Bhadra.   Muchas gracias.  NOs vemos aqui ayer. Nos vemos mas!  Muchas Gracias.

Hare krishna- Happy Vyasa Puja !! From Sri Dham Mayapur !!

Dear Gurudeva Hare krishna -Happy Vyasa puja !!!

Jay Srila Prabhupada ki jay !!

Pamho! AGTSP !!

Today my God-brothers and I are organizing a small feast for you; we invited some srila Prabhupada’s disciples and devotees around mayapur. I hope all of them can come for the feast.  Dear Gurudeva, we are trying to serve you as much as we can. I hope do you like it, Thank you very much for be so merciful with all your disciples and give them your attention to all of them, Thank you for be so patient and guide us in the spiritual path that is Krishna consciousness.

I would like to be in argentina in this moment and take your pure association, I would like to see you smiling, I would like to see you dancing, I would like to hear your classes, I would like to hear you chanting because when you chant I feel so peaceful and happy that’s why I would like to be next to you, I would like travel with you and learn from you, I hope that day can come soon.  The devotees from Argentina are very fortune to have you in this wonderful day, I know they will serve as you deserve.

I have too many things to tell you but the most important words are: “I love you so much” because you are always with me.  When sometimes I feel sad, alone or in maya you are always there and sometimes you come in dreams, chanting hare Krishna maha mantra, once I dreamed that we were in vrindhavan and you were greeting me, Caitanya; hare Krishna and I didn’t respond anything, like 2-3 times you greet me and I didn’t respond anything then when I wake up I felt very sad with myself because how can I did respond to my Guru maharaj, I felt so bad. So Please Gurudeva forgives me for my offenses.

I’m so thankful to Krishna that he has send in this world to you,  you will be always in my heart and by your mercy I will serve Radha and Krishna or I will do some service for them.  I want to become a good devotee and serve Srila Prabhupada’s movement and worship in the right way to Radha and Krishna. By the mercy of you and all the vaishnava I will reach my goal. Please Dear Gurudeva Bless me.

Vanca kalpa!!! Hare Krishna!!
