PAMHO AGTSP! All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

HK! how are you Maharaj!!! how's your health doing! where are you now?? are you working on any specific project you would like to tell me about??

I always remember you draw really nice :) you must have improved a lot on your technique. I like non traditional drawing styles. Sometimes more than realism. Do you have any drawing of yours to share??

I always remember you said that in your past life you felt you were a chinese-mexican, or something like that! was it because you like chinese art and mexican food?

I've been taking special care of my associations, I was going to some language exchange meeting in bars, late night, and not feeling quite well sometimes afterwards, and now I truly prefer my peace of mind and spirit, maybe not going out at night, and more staying home and prefer meetings during daytime.

I also kept excercising myself every day, and on sundays I still do roller skating :) my health improved overall and I feel more cheerful and happy :)

I haven't been going much to the temple, but still practicing KC at home and well, I really appreciate my devotional friends with which I talk over the phone.

I'm asking Krishna's advice and help whenever I can, and He's helping me out a lot :) I know He's here and he will never forsake me.

My social life improved a lot as well, and I feel I'm more spontaneous in it.

Well in reply to your question, I would just like to associate with a spontaneous devotee who can be open to chat of whatever topic arises: family, friends, relationships, work, shastras, devotional life. So could you please recommend me someone? If he could be from the US, well that would be marvelous, so I could get a chance to practice my english as well.

thank you very much in advance,

HK!!

Federico :)

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Federico. AgtSP. We are fine. Like making some progress in waking up to our normal spiritual life.

Our health is fine for a 77-year old American, U. C. Berkeley student.

I don't know of anyone directly who would like to correspond with you.

Maybe someone reading this would like to.

That would be very nice.

So, if anyone is interested, don't be timid, send a comment here and we can help develop the contact.

Maybe some one has a WhatsApp Group you can join.

Your letter suggests that a sincere application of Srila Prabhupad's instructions has unlimited help in making our lives penultimately successful.

Hare Krsna.

Please keep sending us news as it develops.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja, ASA Participants

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!🙇🏻‍♀️💖🌹💐🌷🌻🌹

All glories to You, our adored Gurudeva!🙇🏻‍♀️💐🌷🌻🌹🌹🌻🌷💐

Please forgive me!! I didn't know it could be taken that way. It was hard for the heart just to read it. How important it is to know the intensity with which a single word can sound for each being.

We try to just please him and it hurts a lot that my words have not pleased him, but we are learning. Once we hear from his lips: the disciple has a duty to offer everything to the spiritual master and the spiritual master has a duty to reject everything. So for a long time we revered him like: his lotus feet, even though we saw that you didn't like him. But later. We hear this way of reverence of the Hindus and it seemed so sweet to us!! So real, because I thought that as women, we can't get close to their feet, but I thought so, to the dust of their feet. And because we have the mercy of taking that powder to take refuge and because a refuge is always sweet for the heart, it is called sweet powder. That's why I thought it was a perfect phrase.

Of course, this is just our view.

But now I see that you are not pleased, so please tell me how you would like us to honor you as our Gurudeva. Please excuse the inconvenience caused and I sincerely hope to please you with everything I have and I am that it is actually too little, but at least, it is what I can give.

Thank you for telling us how your throat goes. It makes me very happy to know that your doctor also helps you with this and I am calm. although whenever we hear it coughing... it causes us pain.

always trying to please her lotus heart:🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🌹🌻🌷💐

Radha Japa Prati Jalpa Devi Dasi🙇🏻‍♀️🎶🏞

HpS - AgtSP. Thank you J. P. R. Devi Dasi.

We have been trying to explain this attitude for some time. It is not just you, but others also.

In some ways it is a minor point, but in others it is quite important.

For example, after Srila Prabhupada left, his disciples who had been listed to give intiation, almosts universally thought that they should be Gurus like Srila Prabhupada.

"Pada" names were so common:

Achaya Pada, Visnu Pada, Hari kirtan Pada.

Gradually we are all realizing the exalted positin of Srila Prabhupada.

He is a Sampradaya Acharya like Rupa Goswami etc.

They do not have to appear in every generation.

As far as I understand there are three generations of Diksa gurus in between Narottama and Visvanatha, but Srila Bhaktisiddhanta does not list them in the Parampara.

Does not mean that they are bod or insignificant people, but they were not Sampradaya acharyas.

They were competent to pass on the process, as we should be, but they did not make big changes like Rupa Goswami.

When Srila Visvanatha appeared, we would understand that he was politely explaining to his Diksa Guru what the purports of Narottama meand, and so his Diksa guru and the other gurus back to Narottam all blessed him and encouraged him to go to Narottama and move the Sampradaya forward.

O.K.

Please see us as Guru in light of our, your, Founder Acharya.

You can glorify the dust from his lotus feet, and try to poperly understand the dust from Franko, ourselves, and Nikunja bihari Das, and your own feet.

😃

SOme little help?
