HpS - ASA --- Just got back to our Base Camp. Will listen soon!!! Thank you.
Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
HpS - Jaya!!! AgtSP.... Paoho..... Thank you so, so, so, so much for this letter. Thank you!
I’m still here chanting 16 rounds, following the four principles of freedom and rising early for morning program. We are maintaining and keeping things going at the temple. I really appreciate what you said in your response to my last letter: Temples never fail. They are part of the Sat-Cit-Anaanda reality. Such a wonderful perspective. I’m holding on to it. I am seeing all of my zeros and I am trying to put that One in front of them every morning. It’s hit and miss. Only by your grace and inspiration am I able to attempt.
HpS - Srila Prabhupada makes his Generals out of mud!!
Lord Nityananda on the altar subtly winked at me the other morning to say “you are doing okay, you can do better”. I heard from Gopal Hari Prabhu in class recently that spiritual life is actually never stagnant. You are either going up or you are going down. This is very profound to me because I find myself just wanting peace and comfort but actually taking risks for Krishna and being bold is where the real life/fun is I’m starting to see.
Many experiments to conduct here and you have helped me see how Srila Prabhupada has given us everything. Now we must find new ways to “let Krishna out of the box” like you are saying. Please pray for us, Maharaja.
We’ve been very much enjoying seeing you in Mexico and chanting with you through the internet and hearing your talks. Such a wonderful thing to see you with Bhakti Sundar Goswami Maharaja as well.
On the appearance day of Lord Rama we presented the cane that you gave Anantarupa Prabhu to Srila Prabhupada. Thank you so much for this. Prabhupada looks very happy to have it. Very beautiful handle!
HpS - Do you see the SB verse engraved in the handle!!
Maharaja, will you be able to visit us this Summer or Fall at any point?
Also, I was wondering if I could come see you in Tennessee for a day or two and do some service. What do you think?
Your aspiring servant,
Nitisara das
HpS - We have been On the Road for nine months. We are close to dead as an ape can get.
Hanuman returns to Kishkinda with the news for Rama.
Kishkinda, Nashville, NgD other Princes and Kings of the Monkey army.
After a few days resting there and getting our feet on the ground I hope we will have the proper perspective for the next plan of work of Krsna, and our possibility of joining it.
Maybe we visit Boise again in this lifetime.
Need a travel partner.
Yet, also very nice if you all can visit us for a symposium and personal association in Nashville. You can channel Bhaktivinode Thakura through guitar and music! 😄
If we travel in USA it will be to only three places: Houston, Richmond and Boise, but now please join us getting our feet on the ground in our Base Camp.
Make movies.
Do Kid's dramas.
Interview local community leaders and scholars.
Local devotees headed by Ananta rupa Das.
Now 10.22PM. As you can see from the letter to Anandamaya Devi Dasi we are ripped up from today's war, so we will rest our body now.

See you soon. Very much respect to all of the Mothers. Husbands. Brahmacaris....

AGTSP
Please accept my pranams at your lotus feet.
HpS - Lettuce feet, AGTSP! Paoho.
Since my last letter in January, my sadhana was good with 16rounds and 4regs till Gaura purnima.
HpS - Three months. Quarterly Report. That is nice.
Since Gaura purnima I am again struggling. There are ups and downs.
Yesterday on 1st April I was lamenting that I am bereft of your grace and at night in dreams you came and touched my head and my body became calm in my sleep. Thank you.
HpS - Hansadutta Swami told us that SP told him that the Spiritual Master does not do anything extraordinary usually. He chants Kirtan, answers letters, but ...through him... the Paramatma does many things. AgtSP.... Paoho...
On the note of association, I wanted to ask a question. The place I stay, we don't have an established Iskcon temple but there is established ISKM Ritwik temple with regular programs.
I am lonely here without any association.
Will it be a offence at your lotus feet if I go there for kirtans, prasad and programs?
HpS - If you can extract the poison from the nectar then do that. Even more potent is if you can go there to help them become free from misconceptions.
Praying that your blessings never leave this useless soul.
Hare krsna Srila Gurudev
Rturaj Krsna Das
HpS - Hare Krsna. Nehabikramo naso sti, pratyavayo no viddhya te, svapam api asya dharmasya, trayate maho bhayat. Find this verse and purport. Tell us what you think. It is after, around BG2.35
Hari bolo.
You are an importan soldier in this effort.
You need to become Guru for a thousand people.
Go ahead.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva
Please accept my obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I thought that this was something very intimate in the spiritual life and that it should not be revealed openly to other people, but following your instruction, I am now making the contents of the letter public.
I want to reveal my mind regarding a situation that has been happening to me for a few weeks. Today, April 1, 2023, I am writing this letter to you again.
On several occasions in the past I have tried to have a mystical connection to be able to make decisions in my life. On one occasion I asked questions in my mind and felt the answer in different parts of my body, but I found that it was not something reliable. I also paid attention to what was happening around me to have answers, but that can eventually turn into paranoia.
Before and after meeting the devotees I have practiced different methods of meditation, and recently I tried to meditate and have an answer within. And indeed I had an answer, either positive or negative.
As the days passed, I began to have answers in meditation that seemed contradictory, and the question arose in me: Could it be my false ego?
After that experience I tried to connect with who I really am, the soul, momentarily freeing myself from the false ego, and at the same time visualizing you: Hanumatpresaka Swami, Srila Prabhupada and Sri Krishna Caitanya (his feet), as an altar in the heart or in consciousness.
When I began to meditate and receive an answer, either positive or negative from this altar in my heart. The contradictory answers stopped and such a great clarity and peace came within me that I felt happy and surprised at the same time.
I have realized that I need to go into a state of deep meditation to have a clear answer, otherwise the false ego gets mixed up in the communication.
I have been able to organize my life better, have peace and be able to make decisions that are difficult to make due to my indecision and insecurity.
However, I come to you to confirm this communication in the heart. This may be my speculation or something similar, even more so for a mental patient like me.
Is this real Gurudeva or should I avoid doing it?
Thank you very much Gurudeva
Your Servant
Piyari Mohan das
PS: After receiving your response to the previous letter on this topic, this fact of communication in the heart began to be contradictory and finally stopped working.
Anyway, if this is not real, it has helped me to realize the implementation of intelligence, and make decisions through it.
Thank you Gurudeva.
HpS - AGTSP. Thank you so much for these comments and questions. Honestly, as far as we know, they are so useful for many people. Some are in a very similar situation as you and may not present it, and for others it is a chance to understand people of different mentalities than themselves.
Our Yoga is "sublime". That means it works directly on the root connection, directly from our current situation. We can be inclined to Tama and Raja guna in a body like Jayananda Das, a Sudra or woman or a child or a dog... but that does not matter. Krsna incarnates in a gross form like the Rathayatra cart or bread and potatoes, and we can do Yoga straight from the heart through that incarnation.
Our stuggles with building or assembling the Rathyatra cart touch our heart.
Yes, the mind and intellect, manas and buddhi, must become purified, but no direct effort is needed. If you see the light house and try to go towards it, automatically you negotiate all the obstacles in the path.
O.K.?
Maybe you are influenced by Tama and Sattva guna, so you can do very inspired art, but then sometimes very gross physical desires are activated in a very artistic way.
So, you must learn how to engage your body, words and mind in Krsna's service. Direct experiments with Yoga might be a natural part of your work, just as Anandamaya Devi Dasi or Jaya-prema Devi Dasi in their letters might be involved with children and mothers or aunts.
It is Visvannatha cakra Varti, as we remember, who says that whatever realization we have, we should check it with Guru, Sadhu and Sastra.
So, you may be in contact with the Paramatma, Deities on your gross or subtle altars, but then you check that with Guru... we are acting as Diksa guru, Siksa guru and Srila Prabhupada is your Siksa guru and Founder-Acharya (Samstapaka-acharya) Siksa and Diksa guru. He gives tons of information in his books, by his examples,
Sadhus --- There are the examples and preaching of the previous Acharyas through him, and our godbrothers in ISKCON.
Sastra - Does your inspiration agree with Srila Prabhupada's books.
If the answer is yes, yes, yes, then you can have trust in the details you get by inspiration. All of us must become Gosvamis. All of us just develop connection with Prabhupada in our intelligence. After that we can become completely pure devotees.
If there are very fine, necessary details to discuss, that you cannot solve by detailed discussion with other devotees, then we can communicate quickly about these details in more confidential communications.
Hare krishna! Le ofresco mis más humildes referencias todas las glorias a Srila prabhupada.
Gurumaharaja el día de hoy me regresé a León Guanajuato y no pude despedirme de usted
Gracias por su visita a México, Gracias por aceptarme cómo su discípula, muchas gracias por tantas y tan buenas enseñanzas Que el señor Nrishimha lo proteja siempre.
Le pido sus bendiciones por favor 🙏
Su aspirante a sirvienta
Jaya Prema Sakhi DD.
HpS: AgtSP!!! Paoho. You certainly seem to be working to deserve more and more mercy from His Divine Grace! Now go ahead to the next initiation.
Die fighting for Krsna.
Go with us to the next letter!
We will answer it with you in mind.
Let's go!!!
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada
Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias Gurudev
Ahora estoy en casa después de su visita estamos reorganizando el hogar y limpiando sé que lo despedí el domingo pero quería principalmente agradecer su tiempo y sacrificio de venir a nuestro hogar e inaugurar Nueva Govardhan aun muchas mejoras pendientes pero con sus bendiciones esto puede crecer sin dudarlo disculpe nuestras negligencias y ofensas.
Quería explicar un poco sobre nuestra charla quizá no expliqué muy bien con mis palabras en español. Empecé comentando los 10 años que tengo de conocerte por que en ese preciso momento de mi vida comenzó una catarsis interna mi vida cambió en todo aspecto y en cómo e dirigido mi vida hacia el punto que e llegado ahora.
Yo e estudiado y trabajado durante este tiempo buscando mi crecimiento personal, no es fácil con la maternidad porque como ve mis hijos son completamente distintos en carácter tiene sus retos cada día, uno de mis hijos en especial cuando yo me estreso revive mi difícil relación con mi madre pero sé que tengo que trascender ese conflicto interno.
También e afrontado dificultades personales y de salud como no habría imaginado para mi fortuna me aferro lo mejor que puedo para continuar e conocido hermanas espirituales muy inspiradoras que están involucradas en servicios de ASA y me hace pensar ¿como yo puedo encontrar mi lugar en el Sankirtan? coloqué de ejemplo mi esposo: tiene el suyo como distribuidor de libros y líder. Mencioné los aspectos de crecimiento individual, espiritual, laboral y familiar por que tenía la idea que si encuentro un equilibrio puedo sentirme más plena sin frustrar me y pueda ser mejor madre, esposa, devota y profesionista... probaré que me funciona, encontraré mi lugar siempre y cuando "Get up early and sing your rounds" (hoy Rama Navami comenzamos & Bhagavatam con mi esposo)
Deseo que su visita a CDMX sea muy buena y Sri Nrsimhadev lo proteja en su viaje de regreso a su base en Tennessee ¡¡¡ Feliz Ramanavami !!! 💚🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐄💚

Please accept my humble obeisances Gurudev
bNow I am home after your visit. we are reorganizing the home and cleaning. I know I stressed you on Sunday, but I wanted to mainly thank you for your time and sacrifice to come to our home, and inaugurate New Govardhan, still many improvements pending but with your blessings this can grow without hesitation excuse our negligence and offenses.
I wanted to explain a bit about our talk, maybe I didn't explain very well with my Spanish words. I began by commenting on the 10 years that I have known you because at that precise moment in my life an internal catharsis began, my life changed in every aspect and in how I have directed my life towards the point that I have reached now.
I have studied and worked during this time looking for my personal growth, it is not easy with motherhood because as you can see my children are completely different in character, they have their challenges every day, one of my children, especially when I get stressed, revives my difficult relationship with my mother but I know that I have to transcend that internal conflict.
I have also faced personal and health difficulties like I would not have imagined, for my fortune I hold on as best I can, to continue meeting very inspiring godsisters who are involved in ASA services, and it makes me wonder how can I find my place in Sankirtan ? I used my husband as an example: he has his as a book distributor and leader. I mentioned the aspects of individual, spiritual, work and family growth because I had the idea that if I find a balance I can feel more fulfilled without getting frustrated and I can be a better mother, wife, devotee and professional... I will try that it works for me, I will find my place as long as "Get up early and chant your rounds" (today we started Rama Navami & Bhagavatam with my husband)
I hope that your visit to CDMX is very good and that Sri Nrsimhadev protects you on your return trip to your base in Tennessee. Happy Ramanavami!!! 💚🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐄💚
Your insignificant servant Anandamaya Devi Dasi
HpS - ASA -- www.translate.google.com Thank you all for your association in Mexico and your years of sacrifice for Lord Caitanya's, Srila Prabhupada's, movement. We just went through a similar day. We wake up after a little bit trouble sleep from our lusty eating and hearing from the day before.
Fight to have good morning program starting at 2AM. Good results.
Then fighting to get proper food for the body.
Devotees offer so much sometimes: Quantity and variety.
Then... driving to BIG home program.
158-devotees.
158-Bhoga offerings.
HpS = Mother, wife of so many children and husbands!
😗
We have very serious physical distress from trying to honor the Prasadam that we were offered today.
Our efforts are challenged by the inexperience and ignorance and passion of the devotees who are making the offerings and demanding service and attention, and our own mind with exactly the same contaminations.
Yet, we take Guru-kripa, Hare Krsna, and we learn how to deal with these attacks from Maya and make eternal progress.
Hare Krsna.
The Sankirtan of everyone in Monterrey, New Govardhana, is wonderful. Try to expand it more and more so that it will do its essential work in Srila Prabhupada's global effort.
Hari bolo!!
Best wishes for all your kids.
