HpS - AGTSP!! paoho. our short term memory is going.... also our eyes, ears and belly button.

some one else should become diksa guru, we say with a smile.

your report is great.

temple commander = put vaisnava relations before management relations.

Yeah, get the Bh. Sastri diploma. Can you do it in an entertaining and practical way?

Please accept my humble obeisances Guru Maharāj. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Your instruction on temple commander management has been noted and implemented. We are introducing our 'bhakta of the month' programme at the end of January with gift and acknowledgement for 'exemplary service' in front of the assembly of Vaisnavas.

Please instruct me of any service I can provide you with in the meantime, so I may feel more connected to your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda. (I am adept at all office tasks and possess nice organisational skills.)

I will be able to do the Bhakti Shastri Course (at the latest) here at Simhachalam, Germany in October, which will conclude in mid-November 2023.

Do you have a notion of where you will be after this date? Perhaps we may boldly plan in advance, an auspicious date for my brahman initiation with your blessings.

Also, our Temple President Govinda-Dev gave approval for me to invite you to Simhachalam Germany, either for May or August of 2023 or for our sankirtan festivel on New Year's 2024.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Your servant,

Janārdan-Hari Dās.

HpS-ASA - Prabhu sent us a 'heads-up' at Whatsapp:

Hare Krishna Guru Mararaj, PAMHO. AGTSP! Looks like its happened again. Kindly refer to my letter ‘JHD News 3’ dated around 27 Jan 2023, under ‘Sankirtana / TAR’.,

for which we very kindly thank him!

Post in the Blog. If more than three days have elapsed, squeak on Whatsapp or other media.

Seven more people want to hear what you say and ASA comments.

In general, it is such good news. Keep the Temple clean and decorated. Get out and give your smile, healthy Hare Krsna effulgence and your very nice Hari Kirtan, and watch the magic happen!

We were just thinking that our programmed trip: Madrid, Houston, Mexico, Houston, will finish in about two months. So, now is the time to plan for the future.

It seems that we should head back to Nashville. Will start dialog with The Head of Geriatric Psychology, and see what plans he suggests.

In general, we are not planning any travel (too old) so maybe we will just stay in Nashville and Houston.

Trips out if we are back to our local Base Camp each night.

Orgnizational skills.

We are looking at a long desired project, "ASA Encyclopedia - A Brown View of the Cosmos".

We have tried to manage it ourselves, tried with others, but no success. Now with Dhruvananda Das we are looking at trying again.

[Abbie Hoffman had some interesting books, as we remember: Revolution for the Hell of It etc]

Maybe you can join in that work.

Best work is, Kirtaniya sada harih, and especially 16-nice rounds plus.

Thank you.

Looking forward to hearing more from you about your Sankirtan results from looking for Sita etc.

Hare Krishna Maharaj.

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thank you so much for allowing me to have your association and to let me take shelter of your lotus feet. My name is Agustina I'm 23 years old and I'm from Argentina, I met devotees for the first time in 2019 when i was traveling to Germany, i stayed for three weeks as a volunteer in Goloka Dham, i remember it was around Kartik month, then i had to leave and the devotees there recommend me to go to Bhaktivedanta manor so I went, i stayed 3 months in the farm and then i moved to the ashram for another 6 months where i started to learn more about Krishna consciousness thanks to the association of the devotees, i started to follow the programs, and chant rounds. I used to enjoy going to the beautiful kirtans that they did on Friday nights. A couple of months later due to the lockdown i moved to a devotees house for some time they were prabhupada’s disciples, I feel that Krishna showered me with his mercy for allowing me to live that experience, I learned a lot with them, after some time due to some legal paperwork i had to go back to Argentina and while i was visiting my family i made a religious visa for Spain to go to Tenerife temple, after a few months i moved, i stayed 2 months in new vrajamandala and now im staying in nanda gram, having the association of your disciple sita and other nice devotees thet are living in the ashram, i’m normally doing service in the kitchen i like to make different recipes and lately i have been learning to play mrdangam, and playing for krishna is something that i really enjoy. I think i will stay some more days near new vrajamandala, i want to take advantage of the fact that you are here, i want to learn more from you, and hopefully have some more association. then i will go back to nanda gram. i want also to improve my sadhana, i know is not perfect but i want to be able to advance a little more every day and someday to be able to do something useful for you and for Srila Prabhupada's movement.

Your aspiring servant,

agustina abalos

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

I hope your stay in Spain is comfortable. Srirama’s marriage went well and he left to Atlanta last night. Right after the marriage, most of us in the house got a really bad viral fever and are all recovering now. I was so exhausted that I blacked out in the bathroom and injured my right eye. By Krishna's mercy, it is nothing major and I just have a black eye that will go away in about 10 days.

Divya's health is good. We will heed to your instruction in Radhakunda and Divya will stay here in India for some time. I’ll leave to Dallas on 23-Feb as planned before.

Once I return to Dallas, I have to travel to Houston for a European Visa appointment on 1-March-2023. I will come and visit you at that time Gurudeva!

In our entire stay in India this time, the 5 days we spent with you and all the devotees in Radhakunda was incredible. We can't wait to come and see you again Guru Maharaja.

Your servant

HpS - Super news. Now we feel like we are all in the same parade.

See you in a few days.

If we want to communicate Gaura vani to different nations then we need to know their ethos, no?

The money, paper money, of a nation is an interesting way to look at a people.

Whose pictures are on the money? Is it people or places. The Euro is a "national" currency?

As far as we know the USA is the only country in the world with the Name of God on their money, "In God we trust". There was even a recent effort to remove it but it was rejected.

After you sort, count, handle a lot of paper money your fingers usually stink! We hear that tuberculosis is common in bank tellers who have a lot of contact with paper currency. This is interesting that the representation of Laksmmi Devi has these qualities in the modern world.

Gswami Bhatta Gopala Das on Whatsapp writes and we answer:

[2/7, 11:07 AM] Goswami Bhatta Gopal Das: Guru Maharaj-jiko saadar namaskar/dandavat pranam karta-hun, Hare Krishna. I'm eager to know/hear something about guru maharaj...where is ( ) at present, what are the programmes going on and more. If I am blessed I should like to be in touch with guru maharaj. Hare Krishna.

[2/8, 3:07 PM] HPSwami - ProfHHR: Hare Krsna, Prabhu!  It is both a delight and an honor to hear from you.

Since we left Braja we had a very, very intense tour of Mumbai and then the Northeast (Imphal, Silchar et al), then a l-o-n-g trip to Spain, Europe.

Here we have been getting established and now we are lecturing and counseling the local ISKCONcommunity as well as many guests from other parts of Europe.

[2/8, 3:09 PM] HPSwami - ProfHHR: Please look at:

https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/13841/

and the attachements.

This is our regular bulletin every two weeks.

It is big effort for us to prepare and post it.

Then post comments in our Blog at www.MonkeyWarrior.com about the Bulletin and your Sankirtan.

Thank you.🙂
