Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances, and all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I just wanted to send a message thanking you for your enlivening association and classes you gave while you were recently visiting the ISKCON Houston community.

I have had the chance to read through some of your short stories on Jayarama.us, they are very wonderful and seem to capture the mind. Grateful to you for those.

Also your Japa Joe slide shows and “Get Up Early and Get Your Rounds Done” presentations have been very inspiring..

Especially the practical tips for waking up and simply chanting, despite the mind’s objections.

To keep it short and simple I just wanted to say thank you kindly, Maharaja.

And if you have any other advice or thoughts on getting fixed in up rising early and chanting, please do share..

Hare Krishna,

your servant, Abhaya dasa

HpS - AgtSP! Thank you for your association! We really feel that the overwhelming majority of any good actions or qualities that we have are a result of Srila Prabhupada's mercy, sacrifice! Please, please, regularly be in personal touch with him through your Hari Kirtan, Japa, and his books!!

Jaya!

Send us more news as it happens!

Hare Krsna, Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, AGTU, PAMHO

Sadhana - Gurudeva I was not present all days in FMP due to on April 12th I have a surgery in my eyes the technical name is eye iridotomy (the thing is that I had I inherited from my father the narrow angle in the eyes and if I did not have an operation there could be the possibility of going blind). The surgery was a sucess Hurray Krsna. ¡¡¡¡ Now I can cross that off my list.

ASA - ... and the Black Witch will add two more things to the list. 😟

Jambavan, before submitting his resignation letter of Miraflores asked me to be in charge of pujari. I was very honor with his offer, nevertheless, I told him that I am busy but my desire is always serve the deities so I was going to be part of the pujari team.

I am not going to enter in details here, but then all the situation started to turn unbelievable, the same authority supports the same "lady " to be part of the junta in Miraflores and all her family involved in the service including the treasure hahah (very subtle). Anyway. Jambavan wrote a very complete, concise and chronological explanation about all the things that happened.

Some devotees including me denounce these facts and some authority replies in one paragraph of his letter and I am quoting " this handful of devotees that are pushing these accusations do not have the right to talk about morals and ethics."

I was shocked when I read this. Palika dd, for instance You know her SHE IS A LADY. Anyway Gurudeva, I am pretty disappointed about this whole situation. We as devotees, we were just requesting something fair and sane for ISKCON Peru and then this authority threatens us

I quote again: " in relation to disturbing the peaceful conduct of the affairs of ISKCON and that they are taking the risk of being restricted of participating in ISKCON:

Well, I can say that I have Krsna, SP's ISKCON, You, some really good friends devotees in my heart and I treasure within it, all the unforgettable things that I experienced being a devotee. I have my deities, my japa, gayatri. And that "the authority" can not take those away from me.

HpS - Sometimes there is lack of communication and "authorities" are acting on that. Sometimes they have been captured by The Witch, as we all can be, like Jayatirtha Das' situation and we have to work sincerely to keep our little part of ISKCON sane and work to keep the International Society sane.

One time the big temple in Berkeley, San Francisco, was going into the hands of Kritana ananda Swami when we was leaving ISKCON. President, local GBC, GBC Executive Committee had all given up on it. Six city lots big in very prosperous part of Berkeley, but we decided to do what we could and that rallied everyone and then they said, "thank you, we can do it from here"!

It is very painful and the level of corruption and impudence has already exceeded my tolerance limit

HpS - NoI 3 ... Niscayena. How much tolerance? Unlimited

How much? UNLIMITED.

??? U N L I M I T E D ???? This is Srila Prabhupada's movement and we will struggle with proper, healthy, happy, proportion to do our share to see it a good institution.

On the other hand, Karuna Krsna das called Janapavana das to request that some of the furniture that you left in the ashrama be stored some place else due to he is going to rent the asram. So in my house I have your bed, one altar, one cabinet (this one is locked I do not know if you have valuable things in there), one desk. I am attaching the pictures. So, Gurudeva what do I do with these things?

Patraka das is requesting if he can have the altar for his gorgeous silas and deities.

HpS - ASA --- None of the things "belong" to us. We bought the bunk-bed for the Ashrama. There is another top part. The table, the altar are just part of the room.

The cabinet has some stuff.

LoB bi-lingual hard copies etc.

Some nice stuff.

It can all be distributed to proper persons.

Gandharva Das had the keys?

Is there a combination lock?

I think I have the combination.

Well Gurudeva this is all I have to inform

See you tomorrow in FMP

Your eternal servant

Candramukhi dd

HpS - Thank you for the news. Which is crazier? ISKCON Peru politics or Peru National politics?

All glories to Goura Nitay

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Gurudev Every day I analyze how to improve my service at home, with LAD, the people, my family, my deities... etc. Although I do my sadhana every day, over the years I have learned to always surpass the quality of my actions and I feel Very happy with my progress,

I continue reading the devotees of Chile and concerned to resolve their doubts in addition to supporting them in whatever they need, reminding them of Ekadasi and greeting them at parties with. A special reading for the festivity, we continue with the distribution of sweets once a week where people are donating from their hearts something for krishna, we read every day, B gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, biography of Srila Prabhupada, CC in addition to being a listener of the courses that LAD does where I remember and learn something new every day. I am in the Pada Padma course doing PowerPoint essays where our learning is very good.

I write to my parents every day, they are very well, along with my brothers and nephews, having this contact every day makes us miss them so much, I have a very good relationship with my family, we are very close, it is wonderful to have that beautiful relationship with them.

Finally, I wanted to inform you that a month ago we have new members on our altar Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra I am very happy and very busy making turbans, pajamas, jewelry for everyone, party clothes and so being a pujari is incredible.

you always have to improve, as I said it at the beginning of my report, but with Srila Prabhupada's instructions, your gurudev's as well as the blessings of both of you, my krishna effort will give me the intelligence to know what to do.

Bid farewell to his servant Raman Reti Devi Dasi

HpS - Thank you from all Blog readers for your nice report!! Thank you.... We have noticed more in the last year, months, that we are making progress every day. We try. We get shot full of arrows by The Evil One, but we go on doing what we can, and... by our little effort and the BIG pull from His Divine Grace. We make eternal progress.

We learn more materially.

We learn more about our Sadana!

Etc.

We need little, little books with stories that we can pass out to people with Prasadam, no? Some kind of story that goes on. Comments on local events. Chosika Voice!

Some pictures of people in Chosika!

Ask the Mayor to organize a different church each Sunday sing songs in front of large Jesus statue.

Have 24-kirtan, spiritual songs playing at his feet. Someone feels bad he can go and sit there and get strength . (Also good for tourism!).

Very nice pictures!! We added a very old one of the Simha dvara entrance.

Hare Krishna muy querido y siempre recordado Gurumaharaja!

Lo extraño mucho!! pero cada vez que me invade el sentimiento de separación por usted, canto mi Japa con más entusiasmo y le mando mensajes a través de Paramatma🧡 (por eso no le escribo muy seguido)

Mi pareja y yo salimos de Tacna Perú, estábamos trabajando de anfitriones en un parque acuático donde el dueño nos permitió saludar a los 2000 asistentes diciendo"Gauranga! Haribol" incluso el dueño nos pidió los dulces maha Haribolitas para que él pueda regalar. Luego pensábamos ir a México para verlo Gurumaharaja, pero el servicio nos trajo a Bolivia, Prabhu Kavi nos dió la misericordia de realizar un servicio trascendental que no lo merecíamos pero de alguna forma fuimos los elegidos (de seguro es porque necesitamos asociación) el servicio fue llevar en secreto el primer murti de Srila Prabhupada a Bolivia 😱😍 Tontamente yo pensé que sería fácil pasar la frontera de Bolivia con un extranjero europeo (mi pareja) una caja de 67 kilos que decía FRÁGIL (Srila Prabhupada) y mi mente que siempre cree que puede solucionar "todo" ... Pasamos por la fuerza de la naturaleza (huayco justo en el día que estábamos llevando a Srila Prabhupada y tuvimos que regresar de la frontera de Bolivia para quedarnos de nuevo en Perú) la furia de las personas (manifestantes que cerraron la frontera por 3 días) y el compromiso de cuidar con nuestra vida "la caja" (Srila Prabhupada) Nuestra fuerza fueron la Japa y hablar todos los días con prabhu Kavi y madre Govinda Nandini. Estábamos en un pueblo donde no hay pagos con tarjeta, no hay transferencia de dinero, todo muy rústico. Luego nos dimos cuenta que Srila Prabhupada quería predicar los santos nombres en ese pueblo, los pobladores nos ayudaron a pasar la caja con la imagen de SAN PRABHUPADA el Santo Hindú que predicó los nombres de Dios y repartió alimento espiritual por todo el mundo. Así pasamos la frontera Perú - Bolivia después de 4 días.

Ya en Cochabamba Bolivia nos dimos cuenta que hay muy buenos devotos esforzándose por mantener programas de predica en sus hogares. Madre Govinda Nandini se preocupó de que tengamos todo lo que necesitamos y mucho más de lo que merecemos. Prabhu Rangapuri le manda sus reverencias🙏 Una pareja de devotitos jóvenes del programa de prédica de madre Govinda Nandini nos están ayudando a distribuir los dulces maha Haribolitas, empezamos con 19 en Perú y ahora vamos por 60 en Cochabamba. Srila Prabhupada!!! Harinama sankirtan!!!

Estamos tratando de seguir las instrucciones de prabhu Kavi (quizás servicio en el templo de Miraflores que se va inaugurar) las rondas son la base de todo como dice Srila Prabhupada. Luego todo vendrá según sea el plan de Krishna como dice usted. Le pedimos sus bendiciones para que KRISHNA nos revele su plan y Srila Prabhupada nos brinde la fuerza y deseo para realizar servicio.

Le pedimos al Señor Nrishimha que lo proteja siempre 🙏

Tratando de servirlo:

Su hija Yasoda devi dasi

Hare Krishna, very dear and always remembered Guru-maharaja!

I miss him so much!! but every time the feeling of separation for you invades me, I chant my Japa with more enthusiasm and send you messages through Paramatma🧡 (that's why I don't write to you very often)

ASA - Oh! Those are your messages!

My partner and I left Tacna Peru, we were working as hosts in a water park where the owner allowed us to greet the 2000 attendees saying "Gauranga! Haribol" even the owner asked us for Maha Haribolitas sweets so he can give away. Then we thought of going to Mexico to see Guru-maharaja, but the service brought us to Bolivia, Prabhu Kavi gave us the mercy of performing a transcendental service that we did not deserve, but somehow we were the chosen ones (for sure it is because we need association) the service was secretly take Srila Prabhupada's first murti to Bolivia 😱😍

I foolishly thought it would be easy to cross the Bolivian border with a European foreigner (my partner) a 67 kilo box that said FRAGILE (Srila Prabhupada) and my mind that always believes that can solve "everything"... We went through the force of nature (huayco right on the day we were taking Srila Prabhupada and we had to return from the Bolivian border to stay again in Peru) the fury of the people (protesters who closed the border for 3 days) and the commitment to take care of "the box" with our lives (Srila Prabhupada).

Our strength was Japa and talking every day with prabhu Kavi and mother Govinda Nandini. We were in a town where there are no card payments, no money transfers, everything very rustic. Then we realized that Srila Prabhupada wanted to preach the holy names in that town, the villagers helped us pass the box with the image of SAINT PRABHUPADA, the Hindu Saint who preached the names of God and distributed spiritual food all over the world. This is how we crossed the Peru - Bolivia border after 4 days.

ASA - 😮😮😮 We offer obeisances to the dust of your feet.

Already in Cochabamba Bolivia we realized that there are very good devotees making an effort to maintain preaching programs in their homes. Mother Govinda Nandini took care that we have everything we need and much more than we deserve.

Prabhu Rangapuri sends his obeisances to you 🙏 A couple of young devotees from mother Govinda Nandini's preaching program are helping us distribute maha Haribolitas sweets, we started with 19 in Peru and now we are going for 60 in Cochabamba. Srila Prabhupada!!! harinama sankirtan!!!

We are trying to follow the instructions of Prabhu Kavi (perhaps service in the Miraflores temple that is going to be inaugurated) the rounds are the base of everything as Srila Prabhupada says. Then everything will come according to Krishna's plan as you say. We ask for your blessings that KRISHNA will reveal his plan to us and Srila Prabhupada will give us the strength and desire to perform service.

HpS - Yes, in First Canto Arjuna went to Dvaraka to see Krsna's plan of work. So, we want to also see what little place we can find in Srila Prabhupada's orchestra.

We ask Lord Nrishimha to protect him always 🙏

HpS - Thank you!!! He is so, so, so tolerant. We are so happy when we manage to have a little sincere ability to serve Him lunch, do bath etc.

Trying to serve it:

His daughter Yasoda devi dasi

(I still remember when you confused my name saying Devaki? SITA? Yasoda?)

HpS/ASA - We always remembered who you were! Our rascal mind likes to carry on.

How is your "Hero of the Poor" father?

"We were thinking of visiting Mufreesboro during the Memorial weekend. Also, whenever you would like to visit our new Ashram we could fly you over.

Anytime.

We understand you have been traveling for last 9 months and Your body needs rest so whenever is good for you. 🙏🙇🏽‍♀😊

Also, thank you very much for the darshan this morning 🙏"

HpS/ASA - 🙂 Let us offer our thanks to Srila Prabhupada who keeps all of us alive by his personal care and through his servants!

We feel sad that we cannot be with so many devotees who have hosted us etc. over so many years.

Beyond that, there are teachers who helped us, family, school friends, government people, business people.

Our Social Security representative here is Ms. Brown. I don't think I have ever met her, but she is responsive, works the system to take care of us. It is so wonderful. When we write or talk to her we try to inject whatever we have to offer in terms of Brahma-jnana. Money can't pay for that kind of personal effort.

Buying boxes of 50-packs, of 1-oz. packs, of Planter's P-nuts etc. and then offering them to Lord Nrsmhadeva (I think He is a P-nut Person) and then leaving a few with the Bank Teller, Post-man et al. Is so satisfying.

Every American loves Mr. P-nut! He has a third eye. A Danda. A graceful threefold bending posture. He is celibate.

Was thinking this was Maya: "HpSwami you are such a Sahajiya".

At that moment was walking up the path to Banabatta Das's house and right on the hedge was a Mister P-nut package!

[[A message from God??]]

Also, saw a painting of Mr. P-nut goes to heaven.

We can be in touch with telecommunication. It is Ravana's version of telepathy, no? Then when we go to Goloka we are all in communication be everyone communicating with everyone else in complete smart-transparency.

The only person to talk to/for/about is Krsna!

We are trying to get a regular weekly, fortnightly, telecommunication schedule. Full one-hour class a day now is too much. Reading NOD during FMS for example is very potent. We want to hear enough to keep pure, become more pure, so we can serve as teachers to the innocent people that Krsna sends to us!

VISITING THE BORO

Jaya hari Das, Nandu-lal Das for example have mercifully expressed desire to visit here! That's great. Right now we really don't expect to travel much. Maybe to Rich Mound because Allegiant has a direct flight.

If we travel we need someone to pick us up, carry us there, and bring us back.

Oink! 🐖 🐖🐖🐖

(Only idiots neglect Krsna)

In Murfreesboro, 902 Hillcrest Drive, we have a 1952 trailer house.

Basic bones are solid, but the superficial stuff: Roof, walls, plumbing, are a shamble.

Small.

O.K. for Brahmacaris and Sannyasis and guys who are happy camping in the forest. Drawing bucket water for everything.

For Grhastha and Vanaprastha couples, the community here often hosts people in their homes, but that means getting in touch with them personally.

Srinivasa Das, Sundara-radhika Devi Dasi and The Sugopi-radha Devi Dasi, visited several times. It has been very delightful.

They use AirBNB to find interesting places.

For me it is essential that we get a physical FMS going here.

-Essential-

Otherwise we will be dragged back to the lotus feet of Nila-madhava or even Govinda-candra (I think that maybe the next time we visit India, our gross body will be in a jar 😁).

If we plan these visits then we can make them useful for practical Sankirtan service - Eg. visiting places of pilgrimage, like the Civil War memorials (???), Stones River. Getting to know the community. Working in the ASA Ashrama (making movies). Developing community, orchards, College here.

⏰Memorial Day sounds great⏰

Thank you so much for your association.

It,🌞, is at 12.02 post meridian. Time to start Lord's lunch.

Join us for Raja-bhoga!!
