P.D.

I would love to study *The Nectar of Devotion* with you. It is one of my favorite books; we have been reading it daily during *mangala-arati* for many years. From now on, each time we finish it, we will begin *The Nectar of Instruction*, and in this way, we will alternate between them.

Please, I ask for your blessings for this month of Damodara; may our awakening come soon

🙏🪷👣

HpS - We are using, agtSP, Waves of Devotion by Dhanurdara Swami. Have a copy. Abhirama Thakura Das can get you a copy in Spanish. Srila Prabhupada had to write NOD quickly, so it is a little dense, DhD Swami's book elaborates so much of the techinical stuff.

Technical training in dance can allow you to manifest your natural creativity, but just dancing for Krsna and Radha while They eat is the best!!

"We learn to get 16-rounds/4 principles, as a personal, daily favor to Him."

well, the word favor, to our mind is little incomprehensible , were you try to saying reciprocation?

HpS - Can't remember what we were trying to say! Usually we reread and edit our letters at least once.

In general, we realize that 16-rounds is not mechanical thing like using all the different mechanical features of an automobile like ignition, accelerator, gears.

it has that effect.

chanting at different pitches stimulates different parts of the body.

breathing, rhythm.

but in the end it is a completely personal relationship with Krsna, by guru parampara, agtSP.

lord shiva is the functional material incarnation of Krsna. like playing with the kitty cat with a piece of yarn, no?

kitty kat has sharp claws and teeth and bacteria so we don't play with out hands. we use a piece of yarn.

normally KRSNA plays with us through Lord Shiva or Parmatma or Advaita, but "diksa kale.." at the time of initiation when we surrender to Krsna's service then he starts to play with us directly.

we can hurt Him!

🐵 Guess this letter is an example of nirvisesa???

amazing!!!

please try again....

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to H. H. Swarup Damodara Maharaj

All glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj

Hare Krsna, dear Guru Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet.

HpS/ASA - In Goloka we have lotus feet. I guess they are sweet when it is harvest time for the grapes. Maybe salty other times.

Cows like to lick Krsna's lotus feet, no?

Thank you dear Guru Maharaj for giving me your Darshan at Bangalore. I treasure every moment of that precious association.

Attended Sripad Maharaj's 20th Tirobhav today at Sri Radha Krishnachandra ISKCON temple , Manipur. Grand programme despite curfew being imposed here.

Distributed a total of 5 SB sets this year....4 sets in the month of Bhadra....all your kripa dear Guru Maharaj. Nothing was easy...will never be easy without your mercy dear Guru Maharaj. So far...yet always here in my heart...your protection and shelter is all I pray for.

Served Vaishnavas at our mother's death anniversary on 8th Oct. Father read some verses from Bhagavat Gita. He chose 8.5 , 8.6 and 8.7 Told everybody that 8.7 is the most important. Very simple programme with Bhagavat Gita class, kirtan and prasadam.

Every month the congregation arrange some programme. November 14th, there will be kirtan and Congregational chanting at an Old Age Home. Going to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books too. Praying for your blessings Guru Maharaj.

Got tickets for Vraj...going on 1st Nov for Kartik seva...staying 4 days at Sri RadhaKund...every nook and corner of Sri RadhaKund reminds me of you dear Guru Maharaj...NOI 9, 10, 11.

Staying till Goverdhan Puja. How best can we absorb the pastimes of Vraj? Kindly enlighten us dear Guru Maharaj.

HpS - How can baby best each breakfast mother is offering? Expect that most of it will be her efforts to feed us, not our efforts to eat.

Try to see the amazing things that are happening all around you.

Do not expect in the foreground great lessons from Braja. Expect practical lessons.

Still continuing with our online seva.

Your aspiring servant,

Sarad Gaurangi DD

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva,

AGTSP,PAMHO.

We have seen that practically there is transfering of physical/monetary assets in this world, like inheritance, charity. Does that apply to Spiritual Credits also, like chanting one round donate/transfer to person X ?

Does that apply to Pious / Impious activities? I take people sins on myself, and free them little bit.

obeisances.

trying to serve

HPS/ASA - Everyone has free will. that is bound by internal or external energy.

little child needs one of two big sisters to like.

maya or radha.

they can offer different facilities, but child has choice. three years old but has choice and intelligence.

in body of bacteria, seems almost no choice to accept or reject.

i can give money with limits of the law. so i can punya within the limits of the law.

Spiritual gifts are described in NOI 4, no? dadati pratigrhnati.

give food.

give music.

give smell, beautiful altar.

good plays, movies.

Karma... Jnana... HARE KRSNA!!!!! Hare Krsna!!! hare krsna!... you can help others. you can take help from others at every level.

hare krsna.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, Gurudeva

It seems we have lost faith in holy name. We were chanting as we gave promise to you.

We can not differentiate it from mundane sound .

We are also sure that we might be doing offenses against holy name.

will it be possible to give one line insights on

1.To blaspheme the devotees who have dedicated their lives for propagating the holy name of the Lord.

criticize or share hurt can lead to blasphemy ?

how then we give feedback or even share our hurt/ stupid expectation, especially as there are material relationship involved with people who are chanting?

secondly 7.7.32 Translation says

“One should always remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His localized representation as the Paramātmā, who is situated in the core of every living entity’s heart. Thus one should offer respect to every living entity according to that living entity’s position or manifestation.”

Vedabase

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura (VCT)

“By the mind, one should respect all living beings with their individual desires, thinking that the Supreme Lord is situated in all beings.”

The interesting difference

The Sanskrit is:

iti bhūtāni manasā kāmais taiḥ sādhu mānayet

SP's rendering emphasizes:

“according to that living entity’s position or manifestation.”

VCT makes the kāmaiḥ taiḥ component explicit:

“with their individual desires

however

Noi 5 says --

“One should mentally honor the devotee who chants the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa".

What about those who are not chanting? Is there any verse in NOI that addresses how to regard non-chanters / non-devotees, and how should that instruction be integrated with the universal respect taught in SB 7.7.32?

seems

SB 7.7.32 gives the inner vision and the baseline of respect for all.

NOI 5 (and NOI 3) gives the external discrimination that protects one’s own bhakti while still allowing the universal respect to operate at the appropriate level for each living being

To instruct a faithless person about the glories of the holy name-- This what we do in mass preaching, on the other hand holy name is the only remedy. Then what do we preach individually or collectively

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna.

Our only solution is to start by chanting the pancha tattva maha mantra.

skc

pna

sad

gdh

sv agbhv

this sometimes inspires us to read CC... CC 1.7 is nice chapter.

also, getting up early and chanting, even if it kills us in one day is perfect. then we will get a better birth for chanting. maybe we will be classmates of prahlada.

womb of stimulating mother.

of course, no illict sex... any specific focus for advice?

#1 look for the mercy that Krsna sends as soon as we chant.

take it.

expect immediate progress. even if it is gradual, each step is nice.

all obstacles are really help or tests or actually obstacles that can be smasshed.

noi, three!!!!!

Oink! 🐷
