Letters to the editor

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaj,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Please accept my humble obeisances!

Oh dear Guruji,

I thank you so much for your previous reply to my letter. Your letters are always the most heartwarming and energy-giving. And, on top of that, to be able to read your tweets is a privilege, a privilege I hope to keep for as long as possible. Your Love for Krishna is inspiring.

HpS - We are a bulbous baboon but, braxilated by a powerful Yogi. AgtSP!!!

I am stuck. But I will keep endeavouring to fix myself up. With your instructions, it is only up to me to make the changes. Thank you for your encouragement and support always.

Just a quick summary about me - I have graduated earlier this year in August, with a Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication), so basically graphic design. So far, I haven't looked for jobs as I was going to be travelling and wanted a bit of a break as well. Last month, I went to Baku solo to visit my grandmother, who is also a great devotee of Krsna! I painted her deities, Sri Radha on her wall, it was such a nice trip. Now - back in Australia, working casually at my same job and will be applying for design jobs asap!

We recently had Schoolies Harinam here in Gold Coast, for which Harinam Ruci attends every year. I went for a few times. But still, need to do more. And more! Hopefully can always engage my skills (or lack of) in Krsna's service.

Bheemsen is, what can I say, a young boy only liking video games at this stage in life 🙄

I hope he finds something to do. He finished high school last year, still hasn't chosen a path yet. And Nandini has also just graduated with a Bachelor in Business. She has secured a job in a big company here for next year. My mother is well, always looking after us. My uncle is in India, Mayapur for a few months now actually. And my auntie is well too, working to survive. and Devki, is also similar to Bheema, I think they need some guidance.. I mean, we all do 😅

HpS - In many cases they freak out and look for reality when they realize that there parents aren't going to take care of them any more. 😆

Thank you so much for Everything dear Guruji. I hope that I am able to meet you soon! I hope you are also able to visit Australia next year. That will make this life successful.

I am always indebted to you.

Please keep sharing your wisdom on Twitter.

Thank you very much. Hare Krsna

Insignificantly,

Lakshmi

HpS - Why not meet on the streets of Nabadvipa, 1486+++, where the highest reality is within in easy reach.

*P.S.

I am attaching the deities I Painted, the Sri Radha, and the ISKCON BAKU deities as well. Jai.

ASA - Let's look!!! ... Hey we can't open them!!! Pleaze send again in one of the Blog formats.

Haw Haw Haw.... you have a diploma in visual communication and we can't open your pictures.

That is insane!! 😆

It makes us feel very primitive! 👴

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami, Guru Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet, sweet, kripa personified lotus feet.

HpS - We hope we have such feet, just like all Jivas and that some day we can also see them and yours and everyone's!!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Thank you so much for the reply. Thank you Guru Maharaj for the unlimited kripa that you have bestowed upon us.

We are continuing with SB Canto 3 chapter 29 in the morning. And evening we read the BG together. And Canto 1, chapter 15.

This Kartik was filled with a lot of realizations. We had Deep Daan program on Utttana Ekadasi at our humble residence. Father was very happy...all of 93 years.

HpS - Maybe he will be declared a Cultural Monument by Unicef!!

As Guru Maharaj lovingly said....' May you meet many interesting people on your way', we met HG Pundarika Das Prabhuji at Sri RadhaKund. Prabhuji conducts online Mangal arti and daily Krishna Karnamrita classes. Lots of devotees from all over India join this programme. Prabhuji gave us this seva of online Mangal arti seva by Manipuri devotees on 1st of every month. By Your mercy, we offered our services on 1st Dec. Our next turn is on 1st Jan next year. Thank you Guru Maharaj.

HpS - ! We think about him and what happened to him!!! So, nice to hear his situation.

On Odan sasthi, we had a visitor at our residence. No monkey visits our home ....no monkeys within 5 kms radius! On this day, while I was at my work place, my elder brother called and said...' We have Hanuman visiting us today!! ' Sat at our roof top...ate something...and then disappeared ....! Was so happy to hear this...and at the same time...my heart melted...that day was a Saturday...and I could not offer Him anything except the 9 rounds of Hanuman Chalisa. ...

Then last night, I saw Guru Maharaj in my dream...looked like a Vyasa Puja celebration...we were doing kirtan with Guru Maharaj....Srila Prabhupada pranam mantra....then singing Gauranga Bolite....Guru Maharaj asked , 'Where are we all going?'. We replied Vrindavan....then saw some of our godbrothers and godsisters...Guru Maharaj staring at them....then got up!!

Sending some pics of house programme , our home Deity Sri Gaura Nityai...

HpS - Nice pictures. You live in a very advanced country. Our country is managed by robots. ⚙

What form in Vrndavana would seems eternally natural to you?

Hare Krishna Gurudev 🙏 🙇 PAMHO.. All glories to srila prabhupada 🙇

Gurudev I hope your health is good. With your mercy ,now I'm residing here in Vrindavan. In kartik month I was so fortunate that I distruted "Tava Pache Pache" here in Vrindavan. With your mercy books distribution went really well. Gurudev I'm not selected in the school which I've given interview in Vrindavan but with your mercy now I'm serving in Vrindavan Institute for Higher Education (VIHE) as IT and facilitator staff.

With your mercy I'm strictly following 4 regulative principles and chanting atleast 16 rounds daily.

By the mercy of Guru and Gauranga we all get your association.

The Holy Dhama is a replica of the original Gokula, no?

Whoever can reside there is fortunate and when then leave this body maybe they move closer if not to the original Goloka.

Please continue your trip!!!!!

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and Devotees;

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

All glories to Guru and Gauranga.

On Sunday, December 29, 2024, at 7.30am, Houston time, we will continue reading chapter 10~~ The Lord's Return to Jagannatha Puri; we will start reading from verses 10.33 onwards, we will cover about 60 verses.

Thank you to H. G. Lakshman Agraja Prabhu for doing nice translation for December 22nd class; & he has graciously agreed to help us with translation for December 29 class. I am sorry for inconvenience to Maharaja and devotees for my very poor internet connection.

Maharaja, thank you for engaging everyone in reading systematically books of Srila Prabhupada.

Dandavat pranam at your lotus feet

I am happy to write to you about my current situation. As you already know, I had shifted 3 months back to Port Blair ( Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman and Nicobar Islands). Here there are lots of devotees, very enthusiastic. I am regularly attending multiple programs, Harinaam Sankirtan, etc. My sadhana has improved since before. I am following the regulative principles better. Aspiring to wake up early before Mangal Aarti..here it starts at 3.45 am. It's like a fresh enthusiasm.

HpS - we imagine, agtSP, what it is like if we can get the association of goloka, vraja dhama.

Before at Pondicherry, there were no devotees and it was very difficult for me to do bhakti. I was inconsistent before. Now I am better.

Due to some oratorship skills that I might have, devotees ask me to give classes for new people. I have informed them many times that I am a neophyte myself and that I am trying to improve myself. But as they kept insisting, so I prayed to Krsna, Srila Prabhupada and you and spoke about on the philosophy.

Sometimes, I feel like a fraud, so I am trying to improve myself. I don't want to cheat anyone.

My mood while speaking is that - I speak to remind myself that I need to do better bhakti. I speak to get better perspective and improve more in bhakti.

I hope that this letter gives you happiness. I am inspired here, as I am surrounded by devotees. Krsna has helped me this time by putting me in association with devotees.

Hare Krsna Srila Gurudev

Regarding the previous letter: https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15340/

In the Purport to NOI3 Prabhupada says:

“Enthusiasm means action, but action for whom? The answer is that one should always act for Kṛṣṇa-kṛṣṇārthākhila-ceṣṭā (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu).”

Thank you Gurudeva

Your servant

Piyari Mohan das

HpS - We remember him saying that enthusiasm is action executed in KC with intelligence. you have to keep intelligence of what is the goal.

maya always makes us forget.

we have to make it alive.

"what do I want!!!"

then we have to have a practical way to get it.

goal and route = enthusiasm!!!

do you work. become paramahamsa. servant of everyone.
