Hare Krishna!

Please accept my respectful humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Gurudeva I hope you are in good health and happy on your Bharata Varsa pilgrimage,

We still support ourselves by distributing books and following our four principles by trying to improve the amount of our 16 rounds and making daily offerings to Sri Sri Gaura Nitay.

On September 22 our daughter was born, she is doing very well thanks to Krsna's mercy, for now she only makes some very tender gestures when I sing the Maha Mantra. We like the name "Kunti"; Is there any name that you suggest us?


HpS - Congratulations! Big service, raising kids fo Krsna.

Kunti is a nice name. She was a great heroine, although she made a big slip when she was a little girl.


That's all we want to sincerely thank you me and my wife for how much you give us.

Nice trip!. With patience we wait for your answer.

Please forgive our mistakes in your service.

Your eternal servant Sacinandan Das.

P.D. Last week I distributed 3 Bhagavad gita Maha big and 30 medium books.

Gouranga!


HpS - Super. See you in Mexico.

A Question About Your Visit To Spain In January

2 years, 6 months ago by jaynityananda in Calendar Development

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva,

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


First of all i wish you a blessed Kartik Masa while in the holy land. I hope you are well.


HpS - We are always with bodily struggle against mosquitos, malaria (?), etc. That is the material world, no?

It makes us smile, but then we get association gentlemen in this Blog!


I can hardly imagine even how lively that must feel, judging from where i am, living in this dense civilization, in my structured life of family, work and kids and their elementary school program.


We are doing reasonably well, by Radha Gopinatha's grace.


Trying to visit at least one program a week (home program or ISKCON Amsterdam SF), holding up some standard in chanting, reading, hearing (Wisdom Of The Sages)


In regards to my question, i think it would be a good idea if i take the opportunity to fly to spain while you're there next January. However, i don't know when exactly or where to go. Can you already shed some light on that?


HPS!!! - We also don't know. Basically wherever it is we would like just to stay one place from the 25th January to the 22nd Februrary.

One suggestion is New Vraja Mandala, near Madrid, but cold.

Another is Canary Islands.


We are waiting for news from the Yadunandana Swami.


Stay tuned for further developments.


You seem to be doing real effective work for Srila Prabhupada!


Your servant, somewhere in the back,

Raghava Pandita dasa


Travel Partner Needed

2 years, 6 months ago by hps in Calendar Development

AgtSP. Paoho.

Our donkey is too old to travel alone. At least international.


Anyone like to be our travel partner Delhi to Madrid, 25 January.


Maybe someone coming from Spain could go back with us that date.


We are traveling on Etihad.


NIOS should be able to give some help with the cost of the ticket.

Thank you.

Touching Base

2 years, 6 months ago by kitri das in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Maharaja, PAMHO, I hope you are well in mind and spirit... so sorry for not being in touch these last 7 years, Forgive my stupid username hah. You studied improv at second city? that is just too cool! I have ventured into that alley quite a bit these last few years and I love it.


I have recently been thinking of different ways of serving you and the community, by bringing them the mantra directly- I feel a chanting workshop would be a good event to run, though I'm staying for 3 months only in japan, but we shall try, nevertheless.


I have been recently back home in Argentina after almost 9 years and it was nice to connect with devotees again and being able to help by playing mridanga and leading kirtan in the programs. Again,I am in Japan (studying Japanese) and so far quite regular with my 7 daily rounds I know there is a long way to go but it is what keeps me sane these days so trying to make the most out of it as I had periods of not being too regular with saddhana,etc. This trip has helped me realize a lot of things spiritually and about people, devotees, iskcon, krishna and my relationship and duty with all that, so I am grateful that it finally happened, thanks to Gaura-Nitai ofc.


Well, I dont mean to write a long letter(a lot has happened, clearly) but I wanted to touch base and wish you well, I've heard that you will be settling in India, if so, I should most definitely attempt to visit you and finally speak with you face to face.


Should you require any service,

I'll be here.

Sincerly,

Camilo.


AgtSP.


HpS - ASA -- Thank you, Camilo.

Can you make it 8-rounds a day. 🙂

Personal Sadhana

2 years, 6 months ago by Yamuneswar Das in Personal Sadhana Reports

All Glories to Sri Guru Parampara,

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

H. H. HpS Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam!

H. H. B. S. Damodar Swami, Ki Jai!

Srila Prabhupada, Ki Jai!


Hare Krsna! Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s Padama Charan. I am so happy to get Guruji Maharaja's reply so soon, and it is the same address written not to write in this blog.

What is the underlying story of crusting cursing (sarp) Krishna by Sridama for the separation of Srimati Radharani for 100 years?


HpS - ASA - Very nice to hear from you. We felt bad that we did not get more association from you while in Imphal.

I have heard this story of separation for 100 years but I don't remember where!!! I don't remember it is Srila Prabhupada's books. I think it was in Sivarama Swami's book about Krsna returns to Vrndavana.

Hard to get it now.


Another thing is that I have collected different flowers but have no experience in making garlands in the process of Sri Krishna bhakti.

Please guide me in increasing bhakti sadhana.


HpS - Yes, is nice making garlands for you Deities.

Basic Sadhana is 16-enthusiastic rounds, 4-principles strictly, up for Brahma muhurt and doing Mangala arati and Kirtan, reading Srimad Bhagavatam, then doing our regular work eg. fighting battle of Kuruksetra of Manipur University, for Krsna.

Doing all these?


Your fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das


HpS-ASA - Another letter in the Blog about travel to Northeast in January. Please look at iit.

Hope the Kapi Dhvaja was useful. Please, please, please, give us advice on how to improve it. Add your own thoughts.

Do you offer Urad Dahl to Krsna? It is very strong source of protein.
