Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I am attaching the images in JPEG format. Sorry for the wrong format Guru Maharaja. I uploaded them from my iPhone and it seems to have uploaded in HEIC format.

Some introduction to our deities.

Our main deity is Nitai Navadwip-chandra. It has been 6 years since we welcomed Them.

We have Gopal on the right and Jagannath on the left. A devotee gave us Jagannath as a gift when we did our house warming after some remodeling one and half years back.

She wanted to give the whole set along with Baladev and Subadra but Divya was expecting and we didn't think we would be able to take good care of Them. So we just accepted Jagannath and consider him to be all three. The small Gopal next to Damodar was gifted to us by my father in law. It is a custom in marriages for the father in law to give the deity to the son in law for worship.

HpS - Super. In Manipura I think they often worship Lord Jagannatha alone and call Him, Jagat Bandu!

Our main focus since moving next to the temple has been the service of Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji. When Jananivas prabhu was here a couple of years back, he said that everyone near the temple should focus on the worship of the deities in the temple and the deities at home are considered the parthibhu deities of the temple deities and accept worship from the temple.

I have 3 months of paternity that I can take before Manjari's first birthday, which is the 28-June. So I will be taking it from April to June. We are traveling to India on 7-Apr and will be back on 20-Jul. The thithi for the first birthday for the kids is on 16-Jul. We will celebrate that in India and return back to Dallas.

We are flying from Dallas to Del and will visit Vrindavan before going to Chennai. Vishaka and Dhasarathi will travel with us. Srirama will join later. My parents, Divya's parent's and Vishaka's grand mother will meet us in Delhi and we will go to Vrindavan together and spend 5 days there. This will be the first time in Vrindavan for Divya's parents and Vishaka's grandmother.

We seek your blessings and mercy so that we may gain entrance into Vrindavan and be able to spend our time in the dham in the right consciousness. We always fondly remembering our time with you in Radhakund. We are hoping we can give everyone a similar experience of Vrindavan so that they may be able to carry it with them.

Your servant

HpS - Punya bhumi... India... Super ecstaci trip for you and the family.... Kiriksetra, or Rasa lila, it all means finding our place in the Chorus, no???

pamho, AGtSP!

As you mentioned in last communicate', I was wondering about your bhuvar/svar platform , am not sure if I was seeing the brilliant light of your punya, or the etherical reflections of your sadhana. Either way I am still cooling off this burning mud in my brain, so revelations of observation are still a mystery for me.

Regardless, it is always a blessing to get a word in your direction, for our journey is mutual, yet the timing is different... hope to catch up soon.

As I age, time is more regulated due to Sri Krishna's mercy, the routines are consistent, and now, more than ever, it is essential to finalize the domicile for my extracurricular days are limited. It is proper to downshift the craftmanship to more of a wordsmith, it's in retero that I'm writing. I am glad to do so; it is to gain clarity, significance, and delivery of K.C. in my meager experiences. God help, me produce some rewarding and meaningful dialogues where they count.

Meanwhile, the Gri-haw standing is consistent, and both Subhra and I have a balanced household. Now, we are minimizing indulgence to maximize our Sadhana. We are slowly dialing it in with regulated lifestyles. The Hari Nams seem to be helping, too.

I will keep in touch a.m.a.p. (as much as possible),

Dandavats, your servant,

C.C.d.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya!!!! AgtSP. Hope your gri haw garden is great! sharing squash with the neighbors!!!!

Thank you to H. G. Lakshman Agraja Prabhu for doing nice translation for class on February 9th.

Maharaja, thank you for engaging everyone in reading systematically books of Srila Prabhupada.

HpS -- 😃

Maybe some others can help with the translation, so laD doesn't have to translate both of us.

HpS - Thank, agtSP, you!

Super, super, best wishes for you and your family and... to make lots of friends, eg. pope, putin, and make them super Krsna conscious. may your heart be unsteady when you all hear the name Vrndavana.

Hare Krsna beloved Gurumaharaja🙏🏵🌷🌼🌻🌹🌷 please accept my respectful obeisances to the adorable dust of Your feet. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! All Glories to You my beloved Gurumaharaja!

Of course we can record 1 minute of our usual Gurumaharaja japa and send it! . Thank you for giving us Your mercy of wanting to listen to us🙏❤ 

Please tell me how I can send an audio here, because it seems that You want me to send it to you here and I still can't find a way to attach it. 

Thank you very much! 

I will try to send an audio of Franco, Gopal and myself. 

Eternally grateful for Your good wishes for us. 

 Now that I am re-reading the book of life of our dear Acarya Prabhupada, I really like this mantra that He chanted to initiate His first disciples:

Om apavitrah pavitro vā

Sarvāvastam gato 'pi vā

Yah smaret Pundarīkakşam

Sa bahyābhyantarah śucih

Śri Vişņuh Śri Vişņuh Śri Vişņuh

"Without purification or purification, or even after passing through all situations, one who remembers the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the lotus-eyed one ❤ becomes cleansed inside and out."

I didn't know that just by remembering Him, we become so purified! I am always amazed at how merciful Krsna is, our master of the senses who brings arrows of flowers... all I want is to remember Him eternally, sheltered in the sweet dust of His merciful Lotus feet remembered Gurudeva.

I feel that our real happiness is in letting the master of the senses be our master again, so be it! Om Tat sat. I ask for Your blessings again and again to always remember and never forget.

Please forgive any offense in this message.

Trying to please the adorable dust of Your adorable Lotus feet Gurumaharaja :
