Hare Krsna, master, representative of Parampara in service of The Master.


We have been avoiding it, but our marriage I think needs to be sorted out. We are sorry for approaching you for this, till now we are not able to create a senate of 6 devotees hence don't know what to do.


our marriage is hanging till now, and we don't know what is proper direction for us,

should we leave them and go to temple, or should make them priority to get them back.


won't write much, but your thoughts will be very important for us

HpS - In general I would say that you should try to have pleasant, civilized contact with your family. If they are willing to do that, then the topic of religion etc should also be something you can discuss in simple, civilized fashion.

That should go a long way to adjusting this aspect of your life, no?

Marriage, family, civil, institutional relations are important but Hari Kirtan is the basis of those in Kali yuga.

Fixed in 16/4 then you will become a Vaisnava dvija, and then these social relations will become more clear.

Take the Bhakti sastri course with some one! Ask Temple President for recommended source.

O.K.?

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble Obeisance's and kindly forgive my offenses.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.


I'm Krishna from Richmond. 


I'm following 4 regulative principles and doing 16 rounds Japa everyday. We recently started Book Reading in Group. We started with "On the Way to Krsna" book. Please guide us in this regard to cultivate our bhakti.


We have desire to serve Gaura Nitai. We're discussing with Divyanam Prabhji about deities desire. Please bless us Maharaja to serve Gaura Nitai with proper mood.


Always serving your lotus feet.


Thank you Gurumaharaja. Haribol!


HpS - Hare Krsna. So nice to hear from you!

So nice.

Have you read Light of the Bhagavata - https://vedabase.io/en/library/lob/ ?

That is very good book.

We like to start with that. You all can read and discuss it and then distribute it to many people.

Here is link to our LoB Sankirtan manual.

HpS - Also got a letter about your initiation process from Divyanama Das and posted our answer here. It is two letters before this. So, nice to hear from you.

Respected Maharaj,

Please accept our humble and respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! 


We are writing to inform you that Krishna Prabhu from ISKCON Richmond Yatra, who we introduced to your holiness in your last visit to Richmond, as your aspiring disciple, is continuing on the path very nicely. Sincerely

  • participating in Morning japa call of temple,
  • nicely serving in multiple areas,
  • following Vaishnava Sadachar and
  • having good relations with other devotees.

At this point, we would like to request your holiness if he has permission to start chanting your pranam mantra?


Soon, we will be conducting ISKCON Disciple Course and a Vaishnava Sadachar Course here in Richmond. That will prepare him further for the initiation and shelter of your lotus feet.


Thank you very much, maharaj. We beg for your mercy to develop taste in chanting the Holy Names and Serving Vaishnavas.


your servant

Divyanam Das

[Temple President, ISKCON Richmond]


HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Esteemed Divyanama Das paoho. Thank you for your letter. Everything seems fine. Yes, according to our ISKCON rituals, it seems that he can chant the standard Pranam mantra to me as prospective Diksa guru, on behalf of Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON, parampara, but also please ask him to write to our Blog - www.MonkeyWarrior.Com.


We just landed USA Wednesday night and getting our lettuce feet on the ground.


Hope we can have more work in your Sankirtan.

Hare Krishna!!!

I hope the good health is whit you and the cold winter dont hit so hard.

This is my first sadhana report of the year, I'm now in vacations in the beach whit my family, is kinda crasy but I use this time in the best activitie posible: Sankirtan, in this days I give 127 books, unfortunaly no Bhagabad-Gita but still be a good number for just 4 days in sankirtan.


And a last thing you have some advice for sankirtan? Like a place were you think that is necesary to go or will make good results.


Please accept my humble obeisences.

Hari bol Guru maharaja, have a nice day.


HpS-ASA. - Hare Krsna. Thank you for great letter.


Only one small Sankirtan suggestion comes to us. Try to distribute five books rather than one book.


If they think that they must act in Jana yoga, learn something it is wrong for Kali-yuga, but if they think as Sankirtan men, give the books to others, friends, encounters in life, then that is natural, Yuga-dharma.

Thank you.

Bellos servicios

Todas las glorias a srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias a Goura Nitay

Querido Gurudev comienzo este reporte con mi sadhana diario es bueno pero siempre se puede mejorar mas en la atención de nuestras hermosas deidades, japa lectura y servicios en casa. cada día me propongo servir y agradecer a krishna por lo que tengo, sin su misericordia no habría nada. Sigo con la lectura diaria a las devotas de Chile cada vez más afiatadas respondiendo sus dudas y entregando contension en lo que necesiten.

Estoy distribuyendo prasada dulce( bolitas, halaba o galletas) los días lunes, un hermoso servicio donde las personas que lo reciben son muy felices, lo esperan cada semana, es tanto su cariño que regalan bhoga para krishna.

Aprobé B sastri aunque siempre debo estar repasando versos para ser más experta, además estoy de oyente en las clases que da LAD cada día y en uno de esos días soy estudiante de Pada Patma,siempre trato de explicar a las devotas de Chile algo de lo que escucho de alguna clase de Bhagavatam o lectura qué tenemos con Lad a diario ( B. Gita, Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta, néctar de la devoción..) para que no se olvide, tratando de buscar nuevos métodos de estudios para que se queden en mi memoria y poder aplicarlo en la prédica

La fiesta de Nityananda Trayodasi estuvo muy hermosa, buen prasada, pusimos unas hermosas luces qué realzan la belleza de nuestro altar, tengo material para hacer nuevos collares y ropa de cama para las deidades de casa. espero estar haciendo un buen servicio con sus bendiciones.

Mis padres y hermanos están muy bien, hablo cada día con ellos igual que con mis amigos por último llevo más de 7 meses nadando cada día y por vacaciones de los niños retomo en marzo este hermoso deporte donde soy muy feliz

Se despide su humilde sirviente Raman Reti Devi Dasi

Dear Gurudev, I start this report with my daily sadhana, it is good but there is always room for better attention to our beautiful deities, japa reading and services at home. Every day I propose to serve and thank Krishna for what I have, without his mercy there would be nothing. I continue with the daily reading to the devotees of Chile, more and more established, answering their doubts and providing contention in whatever they need.


I am distributing sweet prasada (balls, halaba or cookies) on Mondays, a beautiful service where the people who receive it are very happy, they wait for it every week, their love is so great that they give away bhoga for Krishna.


I passed B sastri although I always have to be reviewing verses to be more expert, I am also a listener in the classes that LAD gives every day and on one of those days I am a student of Pada Patma, I always try to explain to the devotees of Chile something of what that I listen to some kind of Bhagavatam or reading what we have with Lad daily (B. Gita, Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta, nectar of devotion...) so that it is not forgotten, trying to find new study methods so that they stay with me memory and be able to apply it in preaching


Nityananda Trayodasi's party was very beautiful, good prasada, we put some beautiful lights that enhance the beauty of our altar, I have material to make new necklaces and bedding for the home deities. I hope to be doing a good service with your blessings.


My parents and siblings are very well, I talk to them every day the same as with my friends. Finally, I have been swimming every day for more than 7 months and for the children's holidays I return to this beautiful sport in March where I am very happy


Says goodbye to his humble servant Raman Reti Devi Dasi


HpS - AgtSP paoho Thank you for this stimulating news.

We hope, LAD and you are occupied very soon as counselor for some social leaders.

Sankirtan.

Respects to all.

See you in Mexico.
