Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna beloved Gurudev PAMHO AGTSP AGTY I wrote in one of the earlier letters, chanting japa minimum 20 rounds every day, that's about the time it takes mangala and darsan aratik on youtube in Mayapur and or Vrindavan temple. I don't know if it's good or maybe not while chanting japa, but I realized that it helps me a lot to focus on the indescribable beauty of the deities. I really miss the asotiacion with devotees,but the nearest Iskcon center is quite far from the village where I live in Serbia. I get up very early finish sadhana after that going to work. I would like to avoid the summer heat for my duties in the orchard and grap yard. Frequent bad weather destroys a lot of fruit, which spoils my mood. I work as a bus and truck driver very rarely. I am asking Krishna to help me in my wishes to come to Spain November when you are there to meet You Hare Krishna.

HpS - Super news. You moved to Serbia?

You sing the Gurvastaka during Brahma muhurta?

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to your service unto him.

I am very glad that Abhirama Prabhu invited me to serve by coming up with content for the Solaris magazine. I have previously written science articles for BTG and thought I can do some service by writing some articles for Solaris magazine. I am very glad to serve in this capacity with Abhirama Prabhu and am thankful that you have continued to allow me to serve in NIOS in some capacity.

I am also involved in a research project with some BI scientists on past-life memory research, where they are interviewing young children with memories of their past lives. This is a follow up to the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson, whose department at the University of Virginia, Department of Perceptual Studies is still doing academic research in this field.

I am really thankful to get some chance to serve Your Holiness and get some association of devotees in the academic field through this service even remotely through the NIOS activities. Thank you for this opportunity of association and service. It is like a rope that you have thrown to this soul in the ocean of material existence. This rope keeps me connected, and I hope to come closer and closer to the boat and one day get on the boat that takes us across the ocean of material existence.

Your humble aspiring servant,

Aja Govinda dasa

ASAHpSwami - AgtSP. Paoho. Super news.

Wonderful.

Are you visiting Nashville?

💪💪💪🦍

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru Maharaj HH Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj. Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet Lotus feet.

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj,

Thank you very much for the wonderful, ecstatic Saturday class...we long to hear more and more.

As for the political situation here in Manipur, it is far from okay! Anything can flare up anytime. Only Your mercy has protected us and our services to Sri RadhaGovinda!

We wish to serve Guru Maharaj and all the wonderful devotees accompanying Guru Maharaj at Sri RadhaKund. We wish to bring our Manipur cultural troupe along with us so that we all can serve Guru Maharaj and all the devotees, especially HH Yadunanda Swami. We only wish we could serve all the Vaishnavas at Manipura....we wait but with bleeding arms! Mataji Joybi has an ashram at RadhaKund, very near to Guru Maharaj's ASA, RadhaKund. Should any of the devotees need accommodation, kindly give us the seva.

We look forward to serving Guru Maharaj at RadhaKund. We discussed with HH Bhakti Anand Haridas Goswami Maharaj about Guru Maharaj's visit to Manipur . And we had the same conclusion...not really the safest of times to visit Manipura.

We sent some pics and videos of this year's Rathyatra services through Rituraj Krsna Das...for Guru Maharaj's pleasure.

Started learning Spanish....as instructed by Guru Maharaj. Indeed...lot of similarities with Ingles and Hindi! Thank you Guru Maharaj.

Your insignificant servant

HPSWAMI-ASA - Thank, agtSP, you, for this definitive answer

Br. Sadhubhusana Das was encouraging us.

We want to visit, but at this time seems best for us to stay based in Sri Vrndavana Dhama for all three weeks.

Will inform Yadu Swami.

Maybe we can make a movie to send there from Vraja.

Sunday Morning Srimad Bhagavatam Workshop will start reading Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya-lila, Chapter Nine: Lord Caitanya's Travels to the Holy Places. We will start reading 9.18 verses onwards. We should be able to complete reading about 30 verses.

Thank you to H. G. Lakshman Prabu for always being there to help with translation.

It is the mercy of Maharaja, to engage everyone in reading books of Srila Prabhupada.

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

It has taken me years, but thanks to the association with very learned devotees of our Yatra through their daily classes, I am able to memorize the most important verses of the Bhagavad Gita. 

Every day I set aside a few minutes to learn and review the verses, it helps a lot in preaching and makes me feel fulfilled. 

Two questions Gurudeva: 

1.- Does the recitation of the mantra “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya” work for any Vedic scripture?

HpS - Yes.

2.- What do you think of veganism? Sometimes I get to thinking about going vegan. 

HpS - It is good for people living in the forest who may not have access to cows and milk, but for someone who must have mental strength and acuity to advise the King in all his practical affairs, it is not good. He would need cows milk to feed his instrument, brain.

Thank you very much Gurudeva

Hare Krishna!

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you

Gurudeva,

I hope you are well.

HpS - With some enfirmities but with good hopes to recover by Krsna and Guru Krpa!

Things are going well here in Radha-Kalachandji dham, I can see practically that I am making some advancement. I appreciate that you have given me so much mercy and encouragement. I see it in my life in such an amazing way and I feel so fortunate having your association.

I have a great opportunity in that Nityananda Prabhu has asked me to travel to India with him for 5 months starting in September for teaching Krishna consciousness and helping him in his program teaching.

His program that he has been working on is taking off and we are working on it with him.

He is very encouraging and a great inspiration for me here in Radha-Kalachandji dham, I really owe him so much for being able to thrive here.

We recently had 7 days of intensive training that was over 2 long weekends, it was very fun for me, and I am very exciting to help.

We have talked to Aditi about this, and she has given her blessing. She sees it as something that would be very good for me and supports it, although it's difficult for her in that we have never been away from each other for so long. It's quite amazing she is supporting me in this adventure.

HpS/ASA - She has been like a piece of rock-solid foundation in your spiritual life, no?

Guru Maharaja, this is important decision for me, and I would appreciate your blessing for this trip if it is something you would like me to do. I feel like it's an opportunity for, an important direction for my life (vanaprastha) 🤔, however what good is any opportunity if it's not pleasing to the Spiritual master? Please tell me what you would be most pleasing to you.

Your servant,

Nanda-braja das

HpS/ASA - How is your Team Leader, Lord Nityananda Das' Mangala arati performance?
