Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept our humble obaisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada

We pray that you always remain in good health, and we one day soon may qualify, to become worthy of the endless love and affection we receive from you.

Thank you Dear Guru Maharaj.

HpS - Thank you for writing. Our feelings of separation from the days in India have been intensifying.

We always remember the statement of Srila Prabhupada that this body does not get diseases, this body is a disease.

So, our health, energy, bodily functions, are good enough to do the work of purifying ourselves!

Back to work! Back to Godhead.

The Brajamandal Yatra from Ocrober to February and then permission for re-entry into Sridham Mayapur on 24th February, was possible only by the sweet mercy of Guru Maharaj.

We are indebted to Srimati Radha Rani for allowing us sacred personal association of our Dear Guru Maharaj for the 6-months, and pray that somehow we may be given another chance again,soon.

During our stay in Sri Radhakunda, We also had the good fortune to attend a retreat by H. H. Krsna Kshetra Maharaj, who sends his pranams to Guru Maharaj, and we were delighted to meet with HG Radhika Raman Prabhu and his family.

We also received personal blessings of Kadamba Kanana Swami Maharaj, Maharaj will now.... be dearly missed.

HpS - Hey! Get to work implementing his blessings and you will be in the closest proximity to him that is possible.

We traveled to Udaipur and gave attendence to Jagannath Jagadish, and To Radha Govinda Ji, Sri Sri Radha Gopinatha, Sri Sri Radha Vinode ji, Sri Sri Radha Damodara in Jaipur. We also travelled to Natha Dwara where we were able to give attendence several times during the 4 days to Sri Nathji.

ASA - 😯😯 🦍 🐷

. . . 💪 ' 💪 Awk!

By your mercy, Gaura Gadadhara and I have now re-settled. We’re back into our regular Sadhana, and actually appreciate more, the uniqueness of experience, in our humble attempts to perform sadhana bhakti, in both Braja and Sri Dham Mayapur.

ASA/HpS - Super. Go around the spiral again and again. Each time picking up speed and then. . .

. . ... . 🛸

Gaura Gadadhara is trying to perform seva at Srila Prabhupada’s bhajan Kutir and for Radha Madhava, whilst I am struggling with Bhakti Vaibhava, .... exam on 18th Feb , Canto 5.

Dear Guru Maharaj, We are forever grateful for your causeless mercy, and long for your Radiant. Ever Youthful, Humours, and Most loving personal association.

Your Children

With tons of Love

Gaura Gadadhara Dasi and Vira Gopal Das.

Is good?

Hare Krsna master in the service of Parampara

As we have capacity too in a mental world, I need your permission to train our mind to chant the mantra without moving our Jaw.

I realize till now, we are just using our Jaw, but were not training our mind to hear it. Mind thinks this is parrot chanting.

so now as we have made vow of 16 rounds bit Jaw-Paw and also hear with mind (not just ears).

it might be nice, if mind can be trained in chanting the mantra (this could be tough), nothing is difficult for the Krpa-Sakti.

We think chanting 2 rounds a day mentally in addition to 16 rounds with Jaw-Paw (hearing with mind) will make mind better.

Do you approve Sir ?

obiesances,

Hayagriva-Avatar Das

HpS - AgtSP. We are just trying to communicate Srila Prabhupada as we have understood him. We are pretty sure that we are not perfect at that, so please look at Srila Prabhupada's books, lectures, comments from other ISKCON devotees et al.

We feel that Prabhupada was asked several times about just mental Japa and for Western devotees but also for Indian devtoees, even himself, he rejected it as practical as the fundamental process. Then 16-rounds on beads with the jaw and fingers moving AS MUCH AS NECESSARY to engage the mind.

Then can chant more Japa silent, or slowing as Kirtan, or chant aloud or softly while engaged in any other service.

Yes, two rounds of just mental Japa sounds very nice.

Let us hear the result.

Hare Krsna, beloved Gurudeva.

AGTSP, PAMHO.

As soon as I arrived to Monterrey (to the finca) I knew exactly what I was doing wrong.

We need first to know ourselves, and then try to adjust our Sankirtan in relation to our nature.

Gadadhara Gosai p and his wife were very kind with me

It was a short Visit, but very regarding. I met Karuna Shakti, Gopi Radha, etc in person. Very humble and top notch devotees.

Mona !!!! I liked her a lot

As I told You I am now an ordinary professor in the university. I can present some projects. I would like to help the elders. They are again like children's so they deserve attention and respect.

Again thank You very much.

Hope to see You again soon

Your eternal servant

HpS-ASA - AgtSP!! We were invited to visit with Umberto Mathurana, candidate for Nobel Prize in Chile, but he said bring about five our six peope from your community with you.

I learned so much.

It was not an American cowboy of two heroes on their tall horses.

It was the meeting of two communities. Members with their corresponding parts in the otro community.

He programmed about 4-hours for the meetings. It was so useful.

The team we are building is eternal.

Your visit was so nice. You brought a little bit of Lima with you.

Vyasa puja offering 

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

On this very wonderful appearance day I reflect on you and your ever expanding qualities. Your honesty and realness is always so refreshing to us. Your humor and playfulness keeps us excited and allows us to swallow some bitter pills so easily. You make it all so palatable. 

Without my connection to you, I would surely be very lost. Sixteen rounds everyday and strictly following the four principles is not easy but with your enthusiasm infecting us and with you connecting us to Prabhupada and the Parampara it seems possible. It’s such a long and windy road full of so many obstacles and pit falls but for the first time in my life I can feel that I am going in the right direction at least. Just by following you to the small degree that I am. 

We had a very nice ceremony for you at the temple today with so many illuminations of your character. Powerful and instructive stories about you were spoken, the kirtan was spirited and the prasadam was spiritually potent. Split pea soup, yellow rice, banana muffins, orange zest pudding with a small amount of black pepper;) and fried potatoes. 

The reoccurring theme of our discussions was your comment to my last blog entry: “ISKCON lives or dies on the service in the Boise temple” and the memories of how supportive you have been to us here was very emotional. 

The black witch (Maya/ depression) is always trying to tell me that this temple will fail and that we don’t have enough devotees to help. So many unhopeful speculations creep in but only by your mercy I can fight them off. With the sword of knowledge and sadana! And your powerful association through the internet air waves~

So much more to say but I will leave it at that. Thank you Maharaja for lifting us up and giving us hope for a real human life full of wonder and discovery. This Krsna consciousness movement is moving because of great souls like you. I am eternally indebted to you. 

Your aspiring servant, 

Nitisara das

P.S. Here is a picture that Aja and Braja made for you:

HpS - Thank you!!! Temples never fail. They are part of the Sat-Cit-Anaanda reality. We can see them from different perspectives. From one perspective the Radha Govinda Temple of Rupa Goswami in Vrndavana is like a relic, but from another it is filled with spiritual lilas ever expanding.

Practically how ISKCON will flourish in Boise is wide open. Of course, USA has a whole history of Northern German mechanical impersonalism, but the world is also changing, so keep looking for the new, exciting ways to "let Krsna out of the box"!

We are running to the UDEM program now!!

Wanted to write an here is you letter. Hope to talk soon.

Respects to all.

Please Accept my humble obeisances!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

How are you Maharaj? I've been watching some of your classes and began reading the JayaRama.us/news you write, also I bought the first episode of the Traveling Creature :) which I began watching, just a few minutes I've seen, seems really well produced and the video has a very very good quality!

Well, since you told me I was ready to became an initiated devotee, I would you to please ask you if you would like to give me initiation in some time, I've been chanting the 16 rounds since Nityananda Trayodasi, and the principles, well I was following them some extra time ago.

Hope you are well and so your health :)

I'm quite happy following your instructions :) thank you for your guidance and assistance!

HpS - After six months of chanting 16-rounds daily you can become a formal "Refugee", refugiado, and then after one year total formally initiated. 16-rounds daily you have been doing for 2-3 months?

please accept my sincere obeisance’s, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you for your quick response, I know you’re quite engaged in service.

The question on our “8.3” number is parallel and self-encumbered, I was referring to the World population which is currently at 8.3 billion of all nations, then you refreshed my memory of 8.3 million gyrations in the species of material existence. So many cycles, and growing primarily out of tama-guna.

Murfreesboro sounds like a plan, we’ll need to get on your journal page to find the perfect stage for the visiting our Sage.

Will do my best to keep the responses going to you, not taking any chances, for now we may yet be blessed in your Spiritual quests

Hasta Luego Maestro Grande!  

HpS - 🐷 🐷 🦍

We have some letters for you when we get back to USA!

Are you doing service at New Raman-reti?
