HARE KRISHNA

10 years, 5 months ago by raktak in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Respected Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

We just came back after a two month trip to Azerbaijan and Hindustan. We went to Ludhiana, Fazilka, Bathinda, Ganganagar, Yamunanagar, Delhi and Vrindavan, and everywhere we went, people were asking about you, anyone who ever came in contact with you, you have touched their heart, and now they keep remembering you.

Met with Babbu, the son of Pranav Das Prabhu, he was happy to know that guruji remembers him.

Now back in Brisbane, still recovering from the long and tiresome journey.

I distributed 6 books (Matchless gift of Krishna Consciousness) at Delhi Airport, immediately, there was smile on the face of Immigration Officer upon seeing the book and he said HARE KRISHNA 50 times, glories to Prabhupad.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

.............HpS - ASA .... AGTSP paoho.  The five wandering miscreants!!!   Very nice news. We will go to India in February. Maybe we will see the same immigration officer. Hope you are becoming a great devotee like Raghunatha Das. Temple news? Kids news???

Hare Krsna Maharaj, Great Sankhya Scholar and flute man :)
Please accept my joyful dandvats
Jaya Srila Prabhupada
All glories to monkey warrior!!!!

How is Narsingh dev and Prahlad ji?
    HpS - ASA - AGTSP   paoho.  They are suffering from our service but They are very great and traveling with us.

their relationship inspires us a lot.

we read in Luna Devi' Facebook

[ASA]: the ducks that come closer...
[Candramonkey]: get more bread..

This horse has robot problem, he can not logon to startmeeting. He has talked to US startmeeting office (with help of H G  Ramananda Prabhu, Hawaii), the request has gone from customer support  ----to --- tech support-- to-- developers... Hope it may get resolved.
             HpS - So do we!!!
till then we would try to log in through skype. Niscaya..
-----------------------------------------------------------
you wil be happy to know, horse has not missed a morning program since last 10 days. the time varied. max mangal arti at 8am, minimum 5am. average...520am and its improving.

                   HpS- Makes Radha Rasa bihari very happy!  Makes your day better!!!

as u said love> cleanliness>timeliness>details
----------------------------------------------------------------
 four rules and 16 rounds intact except once our son was admitted to hospital for 3 days. so environment was very passionate, our rounds were inattentive, irregular, we did not like the quality at all.. hence we were not able/decided not  to chant all rounds..so we took 48 rounds as extra rounds to be done and till now we have finished 32 ronds= 8 extra round for four days. does that weakens our application for formal aspirant ?

HpS - At least 4-rounds on very busy days and then catch up. Does not weaken, strengthens!!!  Son O.K.?   He has lot to learn from you all!
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
can you please describe the thought process should go in morning program activities. generally we are focussed on rituals. but we want something more like

like while offering [arti/bell/incense/air/water] we say Krsna we offerall five elements to you.
so what should we say that for reason X, krsna  we are singing Guru Astak for you. then reason Y narsingh arti...
etc etc.

               HpS - Don't know this five elements.  Never reading. For us is just offering nice reception for Krsna and nice things, incense... and chanting the Bhajan with meaning. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
we discovered that ou wife is intreseted/inspired in biblical studies, we read one chap a day from bible. she also watches visual bible
https://www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr>v=fc8qOXeTsUQ</wbr>

<wbr>

.... HpS - ASA - Look for the Imitation of Christ. Is very old and is second biggest selling Chrisitian book after the Bible. Think is a Bhati.org.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little Horse enjoys playing, bow down, rotate incense sticks, flame.. copies us completly.. seems he is made in our image..
he some time cries geniunely some times fake..
now we understand what it means by genuine cry for mother hara
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

Please accept my humble obeisance’s, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

From July in San Jose:

Submitting a combined correspondence here, originating from Ekadasi day , reflecting on the past week-end in your association and occasional blurbs from current insanity.

Your discourses and class responses have triggered a lot of personal epiphanies and I must confess this is not unusual in your company… must be something in the stratosphere.

The aspect of professional maturity struck a nerve. In devotee relationships towards many professional there are sometimes disassociated attitudes, such as in “Karmie” labels, etcetera, this does not fulfill the maturity that Srila Prabhupada kept in his business dealings. A good example of professional relations and preaching would be his grace Vaisesika Prabhu, excellent dovetailing.

Science and spontaneity was an advanced and personal touch on the empirical concepts. You actually infused the joys of science and discovery that is included in research. Plus elaborating on personal positions of scientists like Newton with their ages in career, their individual perspectives and lives…putting the human back into the nature of mental prowess, something that many scientists forget.

Sevaholic’s like me need to let go and let Krsna guide more appropriate service, opposed to my selfish motives, like “I want to do this, not that.” Though now I’ve started a project…have to finish, glad it is for Rathayatra. Will keep you posted.

From October at home:

Hare Bolo!

Just finished your latest Kapi-Dhvaja and did note its brevity, obviously it was for good reasons, Seva-Prema.

My staggered correspondence here may not be for a “good reason" but I'll work with I got...a "passionate reason",the show must go on, as they say, Duty before dishonor, etcetera.

Glad to hear from you and glad the Tennessee Rathayatra was a success. Please try to keep moderation in service Maharaja, need more quality than quantity as time carry’s us further, guess a case of potency invoked x108, difficult to preach if Brother Ass is down.

Briefly mentioned my left arm damage (happened at work), and the Doc said R & R. Seems that the extensor carpi radiallis longus (the top muscle of the upper forearm)  is upset with my overt labor and has been strained, who can blame it…over 5 decades of use…so we rest (and type carefully).

While recuperating I went to our High School’s 40th Anniversary Saturday night, was interesting. Many haven’t changed, just aged, including me.  I was cautious, limited association and then distributed about a hundred “M a g i c” prasad cookies and Five books, then ran outta’ there. Promptly exiting stage left through the side-door I was almost free… then three Ol’ ladies (who I went to elementary school with) blocked the sidewalk, surrounded me and offered Marijuana, hugs and praise of my physical appearance. Was the scariest part of the evening, so quickly I whipped out a couple of “Beyond Birth and Death” books and said, “ Here’s something to really hold-on to”. They took the books and I left em’ smilin’. Mission accomplished, whew…that was close!

Looking forward to the Texas tour in November, we are booked, now to get venues dialed in; majority of the tour will be in procuring mass quantities of prasadam and distribution thereof. Appreciate all your input on this matter for this is all new territory for us and potential service could be expanded. Fortunately, the Sri Krsna won’t give us more than we can handle, now to be careful not to get greedy and ruin everything...me and my inflated ego.

Speaking of ego enclosed pics of my latest art-work. Some business cards for undercover preaching, so far so good. Haven’t started a new cult or anything but am getting a positive response from the homeless prasadam recipients. May take more time…

All Glories to your service, thank you for your most valuable time!

Your servant in training,

ccd

                HpS - ASA - Jaya.... AGTSP....  paoho.....  Very nice cards!!!   We made it to Texas, Houston, but just for the night.   Did the Subhra DD go with you to the reunion?

We sure hope your kirtan in modesto expands!!   That's enough: Kirtan, lecture, kirtan, prasadam!!!!   We really try to take care of our buddy [body] but we get bored being our own beloved then we try to have rasa through sense gratification.       .......... ...  Gauranga.  O.K.  next letter from you!

DTC Tu(15) - 6.30PM

10 years, 5 months ago by hps in DTC


     A G T S P !   (((paoho))).                Well....  here we are in the Sannyasi Hilton in Nila-Madhava Dhama in Houston. The accomodations are so opulent, but also have a practical aspect. Up for Japa Joes, little nap, then to the airport at 8.30AM. By mistake checked in our Japa beads...                  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!   So we had to chant our our fingers and note down our ronds on a piece of paper. Was slow but we were chanting chanting, cchaninting.      Flight was at 2PM so we had from 9.00AM to 2PM in the Nashville airport then 2-hour flight then one hour to get to the Temple thenn... and now we are writing to you.

The swelling in our foot is less??!   Maybe Laksmana's health in improving?

.....   Nitai-gaurasundara Das just called. He is such a nice person. He is really a doctor. He cares about the health and well-being of several sannyasis. Its nice after a trip like this for someone you know just to call and see that everything is O.K. Maybe it is Krsna who inspires these things. Maybe He is very sad that we are not in the little village of Nanda in the big big forest of Vrndavana with Him?

Now is 6.41PM.

We showed the Mini-mala kits to Tiger, the son of devotees who picked us up. He took one. 

WE MISSED THE LIMA CLASS AT 10AM today. We feel so bad. We could have called on the telefone from the airport but we forgot in all the rush of checking in!!  And Mother Yugala nor LAD nor Jagat didn't call us either...   HmmmF.  It is because of the sincere devotion of those three, Candra mukhi and others that this BhVai is going on in Peru.

O.K. Let's go to the Arati and see what books are there to read.

When we got our beads back it was such a relief!!!!
