HH Hanumat Presaka Maharaj ki jaya!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj.

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I was very pleased to see on video that your Vyāsa Puja celibrations in Vrindavan went smoothly and that you appeared to enjoy your 75th appearance year.

Presently, I am back at the brahmachary āshrama in Simhachalam Temple, Germany due to maintenance issues in Vienna (I do not have enough funds to remain there). The good news is that I am very happy here in Bavaria and things are going nicely, without extra financial demands.

I will be assisting the temple in a marketing programme for life members (so to speak) online with the help of the Google Ad Grant Programme, that we shall be rolling out this year. The programme provides 10,000 USD in Google Advertising for free each month, to all non-profit organisations such as the temple here. I also have some business experience with this programme.

An issue I have is renouncing / suspending my legal career, but I think the Google Ad Grant programme support seva will be better for ISKCON and my long term Krishna consciousness as the legal industry is not very compatible therewith.

The second issue is my desire to receive second initiation sometime later this year in order to expand my service capabilities (viz. cooking and puja for Lord Nrisimhadeva). Please instruct how I can fulfil the relevant requirements to proceed on my side.

Kindly provide your blessings / instructions on these issues at your earliest convenience.

Your servant,

Janārdan-hari Dās.

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP! paoho. Sorry little slow in responding to this nice report.

Hope our Twitter, Blog, Kapi Dhvaja are keeping you informed of our travel and engagement.

You need a letter of recommendation from you Temple President.

How many days/week are you up for Mangala arati and completing the full morning service?

Have you done your Bhakti-sastri studies with a good teacher?

🙂🙂🙂

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.
