Hare Krsna Srila Gurudev

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dandavat Pranam at your lotus feet.

HpS/ASA - Lettuce Feet! AgtSP! So nice to chat with you also, today. Sorry one week and not three days to respond.

Went out to Murari farm, 1-12/ hours from here with five devotees. No cellular connection etc.

So nice to chat with you, Dr. Frog.

Since the letter where I was fixed, my sadhana again was having ups and downs. Now again back to better rounds and regulations.

ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/2/40/

Last 2 months I traveled to Badrinath, Vrindavan, Mayapur and Sri Rangam.

Just yesterday I was in Sri Rangam. I was very much remembering you all the time.

ASA - Su, SU, SUUUPER! https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/adi/9/41/

1) Today I heard a lecture by you that was spoken in Iskcon Houston, 2 years back. You said that we must develop Internal qualities rather than external of Vaishnava. What does it really mean?

HpS - Boy! I don't know the context etc. Two years ago we were different people, just like you, no?

Bahir nrsmha, hrdaya nrsmha, Prahlada sees Krsna inside and outside. We must develop both internal and external. Of course, we realize that there is a temporary aspect to the external qualities.

The Ambassador of India develops his Embassy in Washington D. C. but knows it has certain non-India qualities. Maybe a war will start with USA and he will have to close it and jump, but he will grab some stuff, people to take with him to India, Goloka.

2) You said there are deviations in Iskcon. Can you kindly point the subtle deviations that you noticed, which are harmful for your disciples under Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - I heard from Srila Prabhupada's lips when he was in Berkeley, San Francisco, in 1975 in answer to a question by a reporter if there were problems in his temples, and Sri Prabhupada responded that this was the material world, there are problems everywhere.

We, you and me, and our readers, can see, from the Krsna book, even on TV, that even when KRSNA was present in VRNDAVANA there were demons coming whose roar was so terrifying that it cause the girls to have miscarriages!

Wow!

😨

What to speak of 2023 Iskcon Chowpartti with an actual devotee for Temple president!

We will start a series of Blog posts under Category B called "ISKCON WW-9 (Iskcon Warp World Nine)" for Tom Brown's ASA Encyclopedia if... if... if... you agree to collect them that include problems to correct in ISKCON with solutions.

O.K. Health Care Provider?

3) A point was made on being in touch the Paramaatma.

HpS - The answer is in the SB and related SP books, no?

One nice answer is: https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/6/6/

How to do that. And when do we really know that now I am in touch with Paramaatma.

HpS/ASA - It can be confirmed by guru/SASTRA/sadhu.

Yet, Time is the external manifestation of the Paramatma, so a Goswami, Paramatma vadi, should have a good sense of timing.

Gopal Girivaradhari prabhu said that you will not be visiting India again in the near future. There is a lot of sadness . I wish I could have been a better strict disciple and you could physically see me following the rules. I will keep trying. I pray to Krsna that you come to Vrindavan/mayapur again during your manifest lila.

I will keep trying to be your disciple.

HpS - We have nice association here!

Krsna can arrange all kinds of nice physical meetings as He desires.

Waiting for your answers.

Time to go for a walk.

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to His Divine Grace!

Yes , we saw Abhimanyu Prabhu couple of times. He seems to be moving temple attendances according to interest. Not particularly attached to some temple.

He actually gave my husband a link of someone who can help me/us with long term Indonesia visa.

When my husband spoke to him he said he retired from teaching. His WhatsApp name stays as Abhimanyu das vanacari.

We don't have that in China.

Yesterday I watched your class on Gowardham Puja and Light of Bhagavata. I feel blissful having your association and my husband is very encouraging in that too.

I was planning long time ago for disciple course in China but it never happened.

They say they needed to wait for 100 members to start one. Half year past the number is not been reached.

My husband talked to Jai Nitai Prabhu from Iskcon Soho London and enrolled me there.

That was nice association. His certificate I will attached.

For recommendation letter since I haven't been in China, we asked our temple president where we spend the most of the time and work under his directions, Sudama Gopa Prabhu.

I am far from qualified, but I am willing to accept struggle to become qualified. With your blessings my chances are higher. If there is any particular service you want me to do, I would be glad to work on that.

Your inspired servant

We just feel so, so, much affinity for classical China.

When we think of medieval Bengal, 1486+, and Lord Caitanya, we can feel similar perspective.

Must have been a Chinese/Mexican monk in our last life time.

Thank you for this news.

Political stability in the Age of Kali is like 80% perfect at best, no?

If you got 80% administrative perfection, don't try to improve it?

Yet, developing your friendships in Sankirtan is better than other ages.

Can you esteemed husband write to our humble Blog with suggestions of service that might think for you? He might have great perspective.

--

Following Jayananda Das, we need to see our infinite faults on one hand, but then we need to see our practical character (by Krsna's Divine Grace) on the other side.

If you have been chanting 16-nice rounds (is the weather 'nice') today, and following the 4-principles strictly (not pork or beer), and following regular temple morning program etc, for one year (and actually even after six months as we understand) with recommendation of Temple President you can be initiated, Baptized, Matriculated.

🎆

Thank you for the news!

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru maharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances. (PAOHO)

As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

Hare Krishna. How are U???

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP. I am very well now that I can chat with you all!

Our voice, eyes, muscles, cerebrum, are all going, but we are learning very good techniques to get all the energy out of this body possible to serve Krsna to the end.

Basically we won't adopt any medical intervention more than Srila Prabhupada did in his own example.

You and your body and life are good example to us!

I am ok. This is my last week oh holidays.

I had meetings with the school owners. They asked me to be the academic coordinator for secondary level.

It means next year I will continue with only one of my groups, the old one (8th grade) be their tutor, and be in charged of all teachers in secondary level.

HpS - Is it an open ended service or fixed for a certain time, and then everyone stops and looks at the situation?

Next week I will have my appointment in the Hospital. Let see what they say now. The good thing about all this situation is that I am taking fewer pills. I don't feel anything weird. None of the symptoms indicating transplant failure. But only Krsna knows what is best for me.

HpS - Maybe you were Abhimanyu in your last life. On loan to Krsna for 16-years then went back to his, Poppa!? 😅

We thanks a lot all you support and patience. Your words give me a lot of strength and faith to face any situation.

HpS - 😢 AgtSP who has given/gives his life for us.

In this Kapi Dhvaja we tried to organize all the work. Was great help for us.

You are Waldorf not Montessori, no?

Four Stages of Elimination in Life:

At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you'll return to being an ordinary person. So, don't cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!

At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don't say, "I used to be..." or "I was once..." because the younger generation won't know you, and you mustn't feel uncomfortable about it!

At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you'll be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it's an expression of affection, so don't blame them for coming less often, as they're busy with their own lives!

At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don't be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!

Therefore, while our bodies are still capable, live a devotional life to the fullest! Chant our attentive rounds, perform devotional service, read regularly Srimad Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, listen Krishna Katha and honour Krishna prasadam. Let Lord Krishna guide us and give what's good for us.

HpS/ASA.

AgtSP. Paoho. Very, very interesting. One devotee was going to take an early retirement form Hewlett-Packard and we spent like 90-minutes on the phone discussing all this, "If I don't go to work what will I do".

I suggested that he travel with us and preach about his experiences in Grhastha ashrama.

I was a super success.

It even went into the "Times of India".

Like Prabhupada we can become more and more and more sought after, no?

Work connections go, parents, older brothers go, but younger people want our more and more and more mature realization of spiritual life, and also seasoned ideas about B'cari and Grhasta life, no?

🙂

Dear Guru Maharaja ,

Sorry for not be in contact too much, I didn’t want to bother you.

Chanting 16 rounds everyday, 3 gayatris, 4 principles.

I hope someday You can visit again San Diego.

HpS - So, nice to hear from you and get this news. Please offer our respects to devotees. Even if cannot attend in your gross corporal form, maybe you can attend online sometimes.

Jaya Giridhari.
