Hare Krishna maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances

My dear friend's Kamal Prabhu is brahmchari in ISKCON Kolkata. Yesterday night his mother suddenly left her body due to cardiac arrest.

I heartily request you to offer prayer for her. Wherever she is destined to go may she get the association devotees and opportunity to practice Krishna Consciousness 

Your aspiring servant

ASA - Seems to us that having left the 1st world, bhu mandala, the departed soul may sometimes, often (?), be hanging around in the the second world, bhuvah mandala, the world of thoughts, dreams, plans, memories, which is the cause of our perception in the 1st world.

To help them, generate Krsna conscious thoughts by chanting Hari Nama in front of a picture of them, offer them carana amrta, maha-prasad et al.

Hare Krsna Master, PAMHO, AGTSP

trying to follow your reading on twitter.

question

--"Hanumān rushed through the sky like a winged mountain,"

whats a winged mountain ?

HPS - I think they have different kind of wings than eagles or 747 have now. Maybe like advanced Karate guy walking on paper cups?

We had the same question.

--"The mountain and the sea-god both looked up at him and offered prayers and benedictions for his success."

can we offer both prayer and benediction to same person simultenously ?

HpS - yes, you can give cookies to the mailman at Krist Mass and also ask him to put packages out is sight on your porch so that thieves don't steal them..

💪💪🦍💪💪

Fog cleared. We go for Parikrama!

Request

Can TB draw with this(https://vedabase.io/en/library/rkd/2/13/#bb1581077) multi color pen?

I think they can be basis for animation movie

TB-UG - We are investigating stylus for our Galaxy S9+.

🤔

Some reflections

--"He prepared to strike it with his chest." thats what tennis player and football players do .

--"Hanumān respectfully touched the peak" immediate change of thoughts

--when we serve SPOG, powerful demigods want to serve us....("The wind-god raced with him, fanning him with a gentle breeze.")

--even mountain can fly "in a long past age, many mountains flew in the sky"

--"Vāyu had saved Maināka from Indra." temple resident saving fellow from temple president ?

ASA -🏋🏋🏋

--"you have already rendered me service by your kind words", this very nice ,unique and doable service.

this description of Hanuman ji flying, do aerial manouvers, remind us of TOP GUN 2022 movie, may be they borrowed ideas from Hanuman ji.

--"Desiring to test him and see more of his prowess they approached Surasa, the mother of the Nāgas."....Indra said, “We want to see his power, as well as further expand the fame of this great servant of Rāma. Let us see how he overcomes you, O Nāga lady, for he will be greatly tested when he reaches Lanka.”

obstacles are empowered by demigods to see our (SPOG son's) prowess....

--"“I am on a mission to serve Rāma, the lord of creation. You should not impede me. If I must be eaten by you, then pray wait here. Once I have completed my duty I shall doubtlessly return and you may devour me then as you please.”

IDC (i dont care not Isk Disc Course) about myself man, IC about service (ICAS).

--“I have honored Brahmā’s boon. Now let me pass and fulfill my mission. I wish you well.”

nice attitude to keep the boon of demigod and also do service,---

ICAS

--Surasa was not killed she was following Brahma's boon, but madam Simhka was killed she did not communicate before heinous action , and just attacked.

before fight - tell the intention clearly before fight, be sane

Final comments

-will wait for next tweet

ICAS

HPs - what does ICAS mean. We also get so much instruction from this Ramayana reading.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

  Humble request you to add HG Jiva Goswami's name in disciple list on http://www.jayarama.us/

  Also, we have created his own ID on https://monkeywarrior.com/ as 'jivagoswami'. So that he can communicate whenever he likes.

Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Thank you. As always your association gives us energy and intelligence.

Last 24-hours in Radha-kunda.

Maybe we will die of a heart attack.

🤔

As we posted in response to Vyasapuja offerings, we will look at any late posted Reports and work on new Disciple List about Gaura Purnima.

It is fun(ny) being a bureaucrat for Krsna.

Hare Krsna Guru-Dev

I was trying to understand meaning of words

śrī-guru-charaṇa-padma  kevala-bhakati-sadma vando̐ muñi sāvadhāna-mate

it is translated as

I carefully offer obeisance unto the lotus feet of Śrī Guru, which are the abode of pure bhakti

sāvadhāna - means careful.

will it be possible to know why Srila Narottama Thakur used word sāvadhāna?

and what could be non-careful obeisance?

HpS - I don't know. Have not heard, but seems appropriate. We offer respects so many times as a careless formality.

Sincerely looking at Srila Prabhupada, Murti, during Puja to see his thought.

Hare Krishna Gurudev

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a tí.

Espero que te encuentres muy bien y feliz.

Feliz año 2023 del calendario solar 😁

You can cultivate those recipients?

Make them into distributors?

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudev. Pamho, AGTSP!

I think 2022 was a good year, but next year has to be better.

Srila Prabhupada, somewhere in the Bhagavatam, talks about the progressive devotee. The idea that there is always room for improvement encourages me a lot.

1.-First resolution: My sister, after several years involved in politics, was able to join a winner. She will have some influence in the Chosica mayor's office. Therefore, next year, I have to strive to achieve some preaching program with the municipality. You always gave me suggestions and I hope I can apply them.

2.- Second resolution: You and other people, my older brother, P. Omkara who has just graduated in psychology, have made me think about taking up my thesis and everything I need to get my degree. I immediately contacted some old college mates and found out that I just have only the year 2023 to complete my work before everything expires. So beg, borrow or steal, I'll do my best to fill in what's missing.

I will focus on those two points. My sadhana and my teacher service are going quite well. Tomorrow I will talk with P. Karuna Krishna, my authority, to see how I can help in that area. Due to the fact that for now I cannot work as an official teacher of Bhakti Vaibhava due to numerous administrative obstacles, I am going to propose teaching Pada Padma following the guidelines of ASA. I will, of course, continue with the Bhakti sastri and the course of disciples, etc.

Blessings on me, dear gurudev, to be able to achieve these goals which could greatly help Srila Prabhupada's dear ISKCON.

Thanks a lot,

your servant,

Laksmana-agraja das

(I hope my annual report and Raman reti devi dasi have reached you)

HpS-ASA - Yes, we responded to the Reports. You got them?

The social development of Sankirtan is the leading edge, no?

Yet, also seeing progress in your internal development?

Ie. adau sraddha.

Thank you.

We're just getting started.

We have centuries more work to do!

ISKCON Chosica hurray!
