Dear Guru Maharaja

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

We finally reached India after 3 years! We can't wait to come and meet you in Radhakunda. We hope and pray that your energy levels are good. We watched your katha on Srila Prabhupada before his disappearance day. It was so very instructive to us on how a disciple should make the instructions of the Spiritual Master his life and soul and how you have taken the instructions you heard from Srila Prabhupada and have made it your life and soul.

We are currently in Pune near Sri Sri Radha VrindavanChandra temple. We are with the devotee (Madhuri Rasa Mataji) who helped Divya take up Krishna Consciousness when she was in Pune before we got married. Divya had promised Radha VrindavanChandra that she would bring me to Them after our marriage. It has taken us 4 years to come. In the morning today, I got the opportunity to do Srila Prabhupada's Guru Puja in the temple. I really feel it was your mercy Guru Maharaja because there are so many wonderful devotees here and I don't know anyone here to recognize me and ask me as a matter of courtesy. We have been doing Srila Prabhupada's Guru Puja service in Dallas for 4 years and see it as Srila Prabhupada accepting our service.

Before arriving in Pune, we were in Thiruvanantapuram. Divya's elder brother lives there and they just welcomed their first child. They named her Sankirtana. We also visited the Adi Kesava Perumal temple and took dust from the place where Caitanya Mahaprabhu used to recite Brahma Samhita. We leave Pune tomorrow to Nagpur to meet Divya Sri's parents. She has not seen them for 3 years. Her father lost his hearing last year when he got COVID and she has not even been able to speak to him properly. It will be good for her to spend some time with them. On 19th we travel to Delhi where we'll meet up with Radhika Raman prabhu and my friend Caru Nimai Prabhu from ISV, and travel to Radhakunda together. Ranchor prabhu has very mercifully arranged accommodations for us in Radhakunda next to your asharam. We can't wait to come and meet you and be with you Guru Maharaja. We will be there till 24th evening and leave to Delhi along with Radhika Raman prabhu. On 25th we travel to Mayapur and return to Chennai on 29th.

On 1-Jan, we are celebrating our father's 70th birthday (Bhimaratha Shanthi), we have our visa appointment at the US consulate on 18-Jan. It is taking one month for the passports to be returned with the visa stamp nowadays. We will get our passports back from the US consulate with our visas stamped sometime around 18th Feb. We have booked our return tickets on 23rd Feb back to Dallas. On 27th Jan, Srirama is getting married. Divya and I have been going around and distributing wedding invitations this time, since it is getting difficult for my parents to do so.

In between all this, I have been working also. It is the first time I have come to India for such a long time. Usually, it is for 2-3 weeks. Day before yesterday, I was texting Nrtya Kisori mataji that I was missing the Dham and the devotees in Dallas and immediately, we met a devotee from Dallas in Radha Kunjabihari temple yesterday. Krishna has been very kind and merciful and we can't attribute it to anything else other than your causeless mercy Guru Maharaja!

Your servant

It is cold here!

Maybe for Divya's health you should stay in India?

We thank you so much for the news!

[12/9, 3:39 PM] sriman trsna krsna: Your Divine personality always comes in my mind that Krishna is so kind that he has given us Divine personality like yourself to follow...What a examplary glorious life !

Please keeo me always dust of your Divine lotus feet...

[12/9, 4:53 PM] HPSwami - ProfHHR: 🐄🐄🙂🐄 this is for us, HpSwami, et al?

Maybe following us like a cowherd boy with stick in hand. 

👍

We read "Vrndavana Dhama Mahima-amrta" each night with devotees.

Is interesting if we substitute "iskcon" for "Vrndavana" in his glorification. 

Maybe even more potent to substitute "Maha-mantra".

Rama is the source of the Dhamas where Hara and Krsna play.

Brother Ass is feeling bite of cold on his shirtless skin. He does not wear shirts or pants because they are too difficult to wash.

Now he just wears Choddar, Shawl, Blanket.

In Radha-kunda the shop keepers are starting to display nice selection of winter Choddars.

Maya!

HpS thinks Brother Ass may have cancer of the:

• Bellybutton.
• Cheek.
• Nose.
• Stomach.

May be true. This may be the last Kapi Dhvaja.

10.32 AM - Now we pause here, pack our bags, and head to THE KUNDA for regular Thursday Monkey Medley at Gopal-mandir.

. . .

1.42PM, Next day, Friday - We had such an intense stomach ache after Gopal program that we could not work on this KDh. Maybe is from the nasty antibiotics that we are taking for our infected bellybutton (BBD = Belly Button Das).

We studied chanting in that debilitated state and then the FEP pulled us together.

FMP today. Took Lord Nrsmhadeva's diet into out own hands for the first time since we have been here and prepared peas porridge for him.

Still some stow mack-ayk but little better sense control.

🌳🌳🌻🌳

DIARY OF A TRAVELING CREATURE

for this fortnight was pretty good. It shows that every day we make a little material adjustment to improve our service. Eg. One day we pushed our massive Indian bed back four inches to the wall and that allows us to sit up straighter. Is this all 'punja punya krti', accumulating eternal pious credit so that one day ... we will play with Krsna!

We really have the DTC-USA editing going now. Pablo has like 78% of the editing script and we've identified precisely which other shots we have to record.

One day Krsna-loka Das took us around to some nice places next to the Kunda and we recorded the narrative for the USA movie.

After focusing on the editing, our next aim is consolidating the vision and practice of NIOS and it's relation with the Bhaktivedanta Research Center in Kolkata.

We have a strong tradition for every Thursday of 11am-12.30PM at BSDM Gopala Temple, and Saturday at www.GoTomeeting (737 859 341) at 6.30pm with Upendra Das and HpS. Very satisfying, stimulating, programs.

Our whole goal is to become qualified Sankirtan men.

Raktaka's whole family of 10-people came from Punjab and found us. It was intense relating to them, remembering visiting their homes.

We initiated Mr. G. Gunamani Sharma of Manipur as Goswami Bhatta Gopal Das in Gopal-mandir during H. H. B. S. Damodara Maharaja's Vyasapuja.

Another INTENSE 😬 program. Day.

We go to the Kunda daily if not twice a day.

Now so many people are arriving who will stay for Guru puja. It will be up to two weeks of Sadhu sanga, parikrama, administrative talks and formal programs starting 19th December.



After that we will basically be packing and then off to Delhi, Mumbai, Imphal, Silchar, Agartala, Delhi, Madrid (with Dhruva Das, Subhadra-mayi Devi Dasi).

We're working on the details of the Calendar and will post them in the Blog as they develop.

That seems to be about it.

Dr. Arun Chakraborty is our neighbor, very nice person and monitoring our BellyButton.

ABC

The 1,000 copies of Tava-pache-pache are printed by Sri Hari, Subhadra-mayi Devi Dasi etal. Now we distribute them and put them to use.

We Tweeted (huber_robinson) the links for the Ministry of Education symposium.

We speak Sunday at 6.35AM.

CALENDAR

Mostly above and in the Blog. Seems we can only do Upendra Das' Saturday classes on Dec. 17, 31 and Jan. 7th.

Will join Radha-Natabara programs as much as possible.

GURU-TATTVA

We get 16-rounds done by 6AM. Read from TLC. Follow four principles.

AGAIN! 🤔 Annual Disciple Reports must be submitted in the Blog under the REPORT button. Maybe 30-reports have already be filed and we responded!

UNCLE GISMO

Hoping to do some Science and the Vedas presentations on the Delhi, Mumbai tour. Bachelor Beans, bramachari's cooking for Krsna, has advanced a lot. We can really see why Srila Prabhupada traveled with a cook. So, so, so difficult to eat properly while traveling. Can die a rapid death.

Main thing is that whatever technique and tools we develop in Krsna's service, nehabikramo naso sti, have eternal facility.

Indu-leka and Citra-leka are both famous for their writing!

PIGGY'S PARTING PEARLS.

Will Swami Harsh take initiation in Vyasapuja?

Is this the last Kapi Dhvaja?

Old age is a good friend for a devotee. It pushes you off the mental platform and onto the intellectual platform.

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

Tentative date to receive Vrndavana printed TPP is 10th.

Meanwhile we are trying to line up pre bookings. Here are some ideas on how to distribute the book once it’s out. Please let us know your esteemed thoughts 🙏.

1. We may host a 3 day seminar teaching from this book Dec 22,23,24 (VP being last day). Devotees will have opportunity to get TPP personally autographed

ASA - Thank you all! You can see in the VP calendar suggest in parallel post that there will be some promo at VPuja.

I was thinking we might get out for Parikaramas the days before VP.

Then we could present the book on those.

2. We may circulate a page in audience to get names for autograph.

ASA - Hmmm. Just requires pen and paper to implement.

3. We are trying to put the book for selling on Amazon.in

4. After discussion with some devotees who seek spiritual books, we suggest to place cost of book: 300₹, special occasion discount: 200₹.

ASA - We had similar thoughts.

5. We might ask vrindavan temple book shops and VIHE and online book stores, BBT to place their pre-booking orders with us.

ASA - Yes.

6. We may ask for book reviews written/recorded by HG Bhurijan Maharaj, HH Radhanath Maharaj, HH Sachinandana Maharaj, HH Rasamrita Maharaj, HH Jayadvait Maharaj, HH Gopal Krsna Maharaj, and HH Kadamba Kanan Maharaj.

ASA - Yes. Reviews and suggestions from different people! They need to be approached personally.

Please let us know your thoughts on this. If any other devotees would like to contribute, please share ideas 🙏.

your servant,

Subhadra Mayi DD

ASA - One idea is that it is not a timed book. So, we printed 1,000 copies so that we would have a stock in India for maybe one year.

Devotees visiting can take some back to their countries.

What about Rasabhihari Lal and Sons?

Seems we need a stock in Mumbai and other places where we have friends with clear promotional information, like who to contact for orders and how to pay.

Thank you so much.

Thanks to your Uncle...
