Hare Krishna, Dear Guru maharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you.

Please accept our (family) humble obeisances. (PAOHO)

Once a month:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

Hare Krishna!!! I hope your health is getting better.

Our health is ok. At least we can get our rounds done and go to work.

Our doctor told us in the last appointment that we have to start all the test for a surgery. It seems this year we are back to dialysis. this will change a lot our routine. After so many years we will be back to being connected to a machine. Due to this, It will be very difficult for us to travel abroad, so all the plans are canceled. We are trying to take this as an opportunity to be closer to Krsna.

Things at work are pretty good. We bought a motorcycle to go to work.

My mother will have a surgery these days. My sister is doing ok. She is helping her (my mother) at home. Next week she start working. My niece (Aitana) is doing great. She gets really happy when open the altar... Her service now is to ring the bell.

Thank you so much. This bulletin is our medicine.

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna!!! Thank you so much. Some people have big energy. Some have small, some have moderate. Yet, even small energy when it is related to Krsna by the mercy of the Gopis becomes absolutely important!

Little girl helps mother make cookies for her father's birthday. She has little job but does it with meticulous care.

Everything turns out good and she delivers cookies to father at party with so many others present.

"Did you make these cookies?"

"Yes."

"Didn't your Mother help???"

"A little 🙂".

Best gift of all the gifts he got that year.

Please, all your family, go on improving what you are giving to Krsna!!! It is wonderful!!!! !!!! !!!!!!!

Today, trying to read many Blog posts!! 👍

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 For a long time we have prayed to Nrshimhadeva of Mayapur for his [your?] health... Now we have Him here very close...

 I send you this report, which is actually a copy of my diary:

ASA -🐵 🐖🐖🐖 Thank you!

From Deli to Calcutta by plane and from Calcutta by taxi to Mayapur... We arrived in the afternoon and after a bath we went to ask permission from Lord Siva to allow us to enter the Dham... The altar of Lord Siva was closed, but you could see it from the window in the temple of one of the Vaisnava Gaudiyas (there are many temples around here) and then we went to take darshan at the Iskcon temple...

We have seen Panca Tattva, Radha Madhava, through photos and videos for so many years.

Astasaki, and Nrshimhadeva, seeing them in person was a very difficult experience to tell...

ASA - 🐒 Can break even a stone like heart!

From some signs, I always thought that I was more attracted to Vrndavan... Actually I don't know... But I feel very good here in Mayapur...

HpS - Mayapura is a confidential part of Vrndavana, where Lalita and Visakha try to explain to Krsna the feelings that Radha has for him, no?

There is something to Chosica, where I lived for more than fifteen years... We have already visited several historical and sacred places... And I would like to stay... But I still have to see Vrndavan...

We nhave been here in Mayapur for almost a moth and we have been very busy serving in the Bhakti Marga Swami theater team, this year "The Age of Kali" will be presented, which they say was presented before and Srila Prabhupada liked it very much...

 Here in Maharaj's team there is also Parama Karuna [Das!], he is the lead, he is Kali in the theater, and he was the one who recommended me to Maharaj... I am taking charge of the lights...

 Yesterday the official presentations of "The Age of Kali" began and many great personalities, Gurus, sannyasis, SP disciples, Kirtaniyas, etc. came.

ASA - Outside guests? In the Samadhi Auditorium?

 We will be from March 6 to 12 here in Mayapur and from the 13th there will be a small tour ending on March 18 in Deli... That day our service ends and we are thinking of going to Vrndavan for a few days to return for Gaura Purnima to Mayapur ...

HpS/ASA - 👳 🐒🐒 You are so fortunate. Hope all you friends and family are following you and so many personal relations being corrected.

Mother Saci even committed offense to Advaita Acharya and had to ask for forgiveness!

 Please bless me to enter Vrndavan, we don't know what will happen when we are in Srila Prabhupada's Samadhi or when we see Gaura Nitai, Krsna Balarama and Radha Shyamasundar in person... We have longed for that moment for a long time...

ASA - ... and Govardhana❗❗❗

 I hope to see you again here in the Holy Dham, I hope that is one of Krsna's plans for me...

 Your aspiring AmD servant.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!! Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva, por acepta mis humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Desde hace mucho tiempo le oramos a Nrshimhadeva de Mayapur por su salud... Ahora a Él, lo tenemos aquí muy cerca...

Te envío este reporte, que en realidad es copia de mi diario:

De Deli a Calcuta en avión y de Calcuta en taxi a Mayapur... Llegamos en la tarde y después de un baño fuimos a pedir permiso al Señor Siva para que nos permita entrar al Dham... El altar del Señor Siva estaba cerrado, pero se podía ver desde la ventana en el templo de una de las Gaudiyas Vaisnavas (hay muchos templos por aquí) y luego fuimos a tomar darshan al templo de Iskcon... Hemos visto por foto y videos tantos años al Panca Tattva, Radha Madhava Astasaki, y a Nrshimhadeva, que verlos personalmente fue una experiencia muy difícil de contar... 

Por algunas señales, siempre pensé que me sentía más atraído a Vrndavan... En realidad no lo sé... Pero me siento muy bien aquí en Mayapur... Tiene algo a Chosica donde viví más de quince años... Ya hemos visitado varios lugares históricos y sagrados... Y me gustaría quedarme... Pero aún tengo que conocer Vrndavan...

Ya estamos casi un mes aquí en Mayapur y hemos estado muy ocupados sirviendo en el equipo de teatro de Bhakti Marga Swami, este año se presentará "La era de Kali" que según dicen fue presentado antes y a Srila Prabhupada le gustó mucho...

Aquí en el equipo de Maharaj también está Parama Karuna, él es el protagonista, él es Kali en el teatro, y fue quien me recomendó con Maharaj... Yo estoy haciendome cargo de las luces... 

Ayer empezaron las presentaciones oficiales de "La era de Kali" y vinieron muchas grandes personalidades, Gurus, sannyasis, discípulos de SP, Kirtaniyas, etc. 

Estaremos del 06 al 12 de marzo aquí en Mayapur y a partir del 13 habrá una pequeña gira terminando el 18 de marzo en Deli... Ese día se termina nuestro servicio y estamos pensando ir a Vrndavan por unos días para regresar para Gaura Purnima a Mayapur...

Por favor bendiceme para poder entrar a Vrndavan, no sabemos que va a pasar cuando estemos en el Samadhi de Srila Prabhupada o cuando veamos en persona a Gaura Nitai, Krsna Balaram y Radha Shyamasundar... Hemos añorado ese momento por mucho tiempo...

Espero volver a verte aquí en el Santo Dham, espero que ese sea uno de los planes de Krsna para mí...

Tu aspirante a sirviente AmD.

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

Please accept my humble obeisances, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Bhaimi Ekadasi is underway, and thoughts are beginning to sway, best I find something to say. Japa is resting for a moment, after 16 rounds of fulfilment this day. 

While fasting, am packing cookies to restore meager offerings to others, though this batch was not so easily matched with pillaged dough and distraction shown.

Dry mixes all astrewn, butter was fluid, seemed to be doomed, my only hope would be the Lord’s boon, for my mind was swooned...again.

Well, kept the faith and mixed it straight, came out great, these cookies have been offered since 98’, only the Divine saved me this time.

Age is showin’ have to keep goin’,

for too eager for the everlasting past,

regardless,

changing bodies remind us we don’t last,

time to pass... going out with a biscuit blast.

On to the gift of “now”, we’re present to expand our presence,

best yet with an essential vow...

may our minds be supine like Tulsi, resting on Govinda’s brow [?], then our frivolous pride will humbly bow.

Under the sway of Ekadashi, then Lord Varaha pulls the Earth from the ocean's waves. That’s not all to say, next is dear Sri Nityananda’s day, so be it, within this week’s superb spin.

Still composing with a poetic license, though I only have a learner’s permit, unable to fully commit my trips, I will not try your patience or stir agitations with half-baked citations.

Thank you for your patience and compassion, for this fool is ingracious, an obscure bastion-pouring shards of mental debris upon innocent beings.

Concluding, self-diluting ways, arriving to surmise, I have a kaleidoscope for a mind. Thus your flexibility in our banter has forged some intelligence, I'm becoming a chanter. Am grateful for your miraculous subtle touch for I feared so much, this brain could have gone insane, and my japa would not regain.

Now in doing so, ventures are tenured where they grow... I only have to do the needful and flow, always remembering your examples in Sadhana goals which do not encumber our Guru’s Souls, but free their glories to fulfill the eternal toll of God’s Love, priceless and whole.

Enough of my tumultuous tittering will leave you with another's offering, “The Butter Thief” from a real-deal poet who knows it and shows it.

Thank you for your most valuable time!

 c.c. das

HpS/ASA - Thank you!

Thank you for the box of cookies.

They were here when Nandulal Das brought us.

In the rush he forgot his box, but we gave it to NgD and local constituency.

What about minimal sweet, biscuit?

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I am sorry about your dental problem, I hope that upon receipt of this letter the pain has subsided.

HpS - It seemed like loud noise, high pitched noise. Body resonates and control of other organs is lost, but now is almost gone.

A question Gurudeva, soon I want to make a piece of furniture for my altar.

I have a murti of Hanuman that belonged to Rodrigo Piceros, the poet. My question is:

Can I put Hanuman on my altar?

HpS/ASA - Yes!

Thank you Gurudeva

my obeisances

Your servant

Piyari Mohan das

HpS - Sorry took two weeks to answer!

Yes, put Hanuman on altar with Krsna and Gopis. He likes Vrndavana.

Hare krishna gurumaharaj

Please accept my most humble obeisance on to your lotus feet

All glories to srila prabhupada

How are you gurumaharaj ? It has been more than a year while we had your last Darshan here in India, at Radhakund.

You told me to write to you whenever I had doubts in anything.

Your book Tava Pache Pache has been such a wonderful guide to Nectar of Instruction that whenever I read it, it guides me what to do and I feel your presence.

I never wrote before as I was having tough time fighting with Maya and completing my 16 rounds on time. But now , from last one month I have been able to get up early by 4:30 am and complete my rounds on time.

HpS - Very nice! ! !

By your mercy i'm able to chant 16 rounds properly so I took a pen and wrote to you giving my sadana report.

My service of small giriraj at my home is also going on.

I decorate him everyday with sandelwood paste as you suggested me.

Gurumaharaj, can I do bhakti shastra course, which book should I start reading?

HpS - If you are in Radha kunda you could do it with Bhagavata Maha-vidhyalaya, no? They are near Govardhana. Try to contact them. Sukadeva Das may have their contact information.

Please guide me as I will proceed as you guide me

Thank you gurumaharaj

Hare krishna

HpS - Thank you for wonderful news. Where are you staying in more detail. How long have you been there?
