Letters to the editor

Dear Hanumat preshak Swami

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Thank you for your attention. I am aware of your busy schedule. Your letter to me is therefore precious. I became vegetarian 6 years before I met devotees. I was a part of Yoga boom in China. I started to chant 16 rounds 2021. Now I am reading 3rd canto and just finished reading side book, "Servant of the Servant " by HH Tamal Krsna Goswami. I will start with " My glorious master " by Burijana Prabhu as a side book. My husband and myself gave vows on marriage to read together one hour daily and since then we are doing that. It's the best part of the day. Of course, in Krsna consciousness seems that everything is best. Your question from when I am taking sadhan strictly, I would say 2021. Hopefully to always improve. My husband name is Narayan pandit das and he has been initiated 2002 in Baroda, Gujarat, by HH Bhakti Vikasa Swami. He was with you in Brajamandala parikrama 2003 where you spoke about your sadhana. That time he adopted the routine of chanting rounds before mangala arati and he says that saved his life. He is kind hearted and easy going person. Loving husband I have to say.

Maharaja, I am too simple maybe and don't know what more I could say. And if I answered your questions in a proper way. Usually I am in the back and this writing is putting me in transcendental anxiety. I am eager to learn and be corrected. I apologise if there are any mistakes.

PS: My husband is encouraging me to take up the Bhakti Sastra course in Vrindavan this year . Do I have your blessings/permission?

HpS - ASA -- Thank you. All respects to your husband. Such enlivening news.

Seems that you are ready to take initiation if you all want to do it.

You would need letter of recommendation from Temple President or GBC authority, and Disciple Course, certificate.

Waiting for news from you.

Thank you for your association.

As far as I know the Bh. Sastri courses in Krsna Balarama Temple and the Mahavidyalaya near Govardhana are both nice.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🏻 Please, accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Gurudeva, I am reporting from brahmacarini asrama in Chosica.

I have been living here since November 2021. Although I' ve been living alone, I have gotten used to it. Living alone also has advantages.

I am taking this circumstance to improve my physical and emotional health.

Also, it is helping me to know myself more, to know my capacities and my limitations more clearly.

I have service in pujari, dressing Their Lordships. I am still learning how to dress Them.

Most of the time I dress Sita Rama Laksman Hanuman and sometimes Radha Madhana Vihari. I am starting to develop a little attachment to Them 🙏🏻💖

Sometimes I am giving Srimad Bhagavatam class on Sundays in the temple. Giving classes is forcing me to read and investigate Srila Prabhupada's books and also to listen to other classes more.

I am very grateful to my authorities here. They have given me facilities so that I can do service without anxiety. They are being very considerate of me.

Gurudeva, I would like to have your darshan in India this year.

I got a donation to buy a ticket. I am planning to go there in September (for three months, from September to November).

Do you know when you will return to India this year?

Will you stay in Madrid for some weeks before you go to India?

I am thinking to go via Madrid in such a way I can stay for some days in Nueva Vraja Mandala temple, get darshan from Radha Govinda Candra and take association of the devotees there.

What do you think, Gurudeva?

Thank you for all the blessings you have given me, for all these wonderful gifts: the Holy names, the association of devotees, classes, Deities's service, prasadam, etc.

Hare Krishna!! 🙏🏻

HpS - ASA -- So very nice to hear from you. AgtSP. Paoho. Prahlada nrsmha Das was here with vedbase.io and he was expressing his shock at the wonderful work you have done for Spanish section.

Thank you.

Surprised more Mataji don't live in the Ashrama. Some come on the weekends?

Visit to Vrndavana Dhama sounds nice. The air contamination is very bad in India and Vrndavana. Your body may get sick if you stay there for an extended time.

Of course, there is the attitude that it is better to die of rotting in Vrndavana than to live in health anywhere else.

We stayed for many months and probably have permanent damage to our body, but we got permanent benefit for our spirit!!!

We are happy with the result.

Working on our Calendar for days after April 3rd now.

Watch the Blog for news.

Also, hope to talk with you while we are in Mexico!

Who else if resident or full-time devotee in Chosica?

Hare Krishna!,

Dear Maharaja --

Yes! I will be in Houston. I will be there looks like from March 1st to the 4th...if that works!!

But also you're going back to the Boro after you get back from Mexico? Hopefully I could see you there again as well?

Looking forward to seeing you!

Your servant,

Jaya Hari Das

HpS - AgtSP!! 1-4th seems fine to us. Ask NIla Madhava!!!!

Accomodation after 3rd April is under discussion.

🙂

Hare Krsna Maharaj! Hari Bol 🙌 please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Gauranga, all glories to Srila Prabhupad 🙏🙏

All glories to you Maharaj 🙏 I hope your travel is going well Maharaj. I've been serving at Murari Sevaka farm temple in Lynchburg Tennessee past the Boro. Mitravinda Mataji was asking if you would like to come visit Nitai Gauracandra's temple when you return. It's very sweet to serve them 🙏

 Missing your association,

Hare Krsna 🙏🙌

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

We have tickets all the way back to USA on the 3rd April. After that we are working now to set our calendar. Certianly visit to Murari is very possible, but have to see how our service develops.

Please send us news and photos.

Who is there?

Estoy asistiendo todos los días, al Mangal Arti en el Samadhi Templo de Srila Prabhupadaji.

Y me falta completar muchas cosas.............. Las fiestas empezaron y son muy hermosas y Trascendentales, puesto que en cada sitio, o rincón, se escucha el Mantra del Hare Krishna, toda la gente está feliz.........en familia.....................          

Perdone que le diga esto, pero hecho de menos a mi esposo que falleció hace 3 años.........

Por eso trato de mantenerme ocupada en el Servicio Devociónal, Harinam, arreglando la casa, para comprar un altar, para las Deidades, de JAGANNAT, SUBADRA Y BALADEVA. Etc.

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura-Nitay!!!

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

 All glories and my most respectful obeisances to you Gurudeva!!!

 Hare Krishna dear Gurudeva I hope you are in very good health and in your sankirtan for Srila Prabhupada, I have been following your classes in New Vrajamandala and the blog and Twitter news are always drops of nectar and inspiration for my spiritual life.

 By the mercy of Krishna and the devotees, I took the test for the second initiation and it went well. We already have the letter of recommendation, and if you give me your blessings, I will go to Mexico at the end of March together with Diana and Guru Govinda to have your association. and participate in the initiation ceremony on the auspicious day of Rama Navami.

 Our report is 16 daily rounds and 4 principles, cooking for the deities on Thursdays, now I am with the exams for the first module of Bhakti Sastri there is so much to learn from Srila Prabhupada's books, I was fortunate to be able to cook some preparations for Nityananda Trayodasi was a beautiful party. I am also helping in the Saturday Sanga program together with Prabhu Jagad Guru and Diana a very beautiful program was held with the presence of Bhaktibhusana Swami, more than 45 devotees participated in mangalarati and throughout the program, it was really inspiring, after the class excellent prasadam was served which my husband Vrajesa prepared together with Raga Sindhu, Sripati, Guna Manjari and other assisting devotees, the devotees were very satisfied with this first program and we hope to repeat it on February 25th.

 I would also like to ask your blessings for a new service that I am doing a few weeks ago as a member of the temple administration in the position of secretary, the devotees recommended me with our GBC Srila Virabahu and I was accepted, it is a great responsibility and there is a lot to do We take this service as an offering at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada, you Gurudeva and the Vaisnavas.

 In the family, our prasadam business is improving little by little, my eldest daughter Manjari entered a good university and this year she will study Mathematics Engineering and my youngest son Giridhari has little left to finish school, I will soon be 40 years old, it's like half of my life, I still have a lot to improve and learn, my wish is to continue serving you Gurudeva and Srila Prabhupada for the rest of my life and forever, thank you very much Gurudeva for the constant inspiration you give us all, from Wherever you are, you are always instructing and guiding us to improve.

 His aspiring disciple
