Letters to the editor

My Dear Guru Maharaj Ji

On the most auspicious day of Guru Maharaj's 75th appearance day, I offer my loving obeisances unto my spiritual uncle's lotus feet.🙏

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR GURU MAHARAJ JI.🎂

I feel so privileged to have the amazing fortune to reconnect with you after a span of 10 years, when I was mesmerised with Guru Maharaj as my Bhakti Shastri Teacher in Sri Dham Mayapur

I was totally taken in by your sense of Humor and the dancing bushy eye brows whilst you touched our hearts with your mercy of the Nectar of Instruction.

Now once again you have showered mercy by granting me, the association of your beloved daughter Gaura Gadadhar Dasi as my wife.

I am so grateful to you for enabling me to complete (without being killed), The "Once in a billion life time" Braja Mandal Parikrama, and further granting us the amazing good fortune of your personal association for three months in Radha Kunda

Just your sweet Darshan almost every eveining, and sometimes, when I can make it...at Mangala Arti too... is a life transforming experience.🙏

Your jovial , enthusiastic, artistic Arotik offerings with dance like moves, operatic voice and exotic drum playing is most exhilarating ,... granting us a glimpse of what a personal exchange with thier lordships may look like ,.... this inspires me to try and become more enthusiastic in my currently "dull" , and "as a matter of routine" devotional practice.

Your personal attention to everyone, your constant giving , the way you are always lovingly , gently interacting, and teaching us in how to become the best versions of ourself, whilst remaining true to our selves.. YOUR GENIOUS, Touches my heart very deeply.

I pray to continue to recieve your love and affection for ever.

Lovingly your

Wannabe Servant🐒

Vira Gopal Das

HpS - Thank you. This letter is so informative. We did not realize that we were together in the Bh. Sastri studies. Super.

Your association and intellectual integrity have been a great delight to us.

Read more letters!!

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO, AGTSP!

Here is a sales strategy my Uncle Ajamil Prabhu is suggesting:

1) announce launch of book in India with ribbon cutting ceremony on Vyasa Puja day. 250₹ Special price only on Inauguration Day with Maharaj’s signature.

2) Amazon.in: 35% goes to Amazon, 30% to seller, 50-100₹ for shipping, so book price online will be around 400+

3) Wholesale price @₹200 when someone buys 10 copies and above.

Maharaj, do you think this is alright?

your servant,

Subhadramayi DD

HpS - Sounds fine to us. Just need to keep track of the inventory and Rupees. Let us talk when we all meet like Sunday or so!! Thank you.

Thank you for the dance items in the Vyasapuja. They we supremely professional.

HPS - ASA --- Hare, Krsna Radha JPJ DD et al.

We got bout 25-vyasapuja letters, so we won't be able to read this report!

Maybe you can summarize it and send it in the next report!

Thank you!

Hare krsna adored and respected Gurudeva!

All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Govinda!

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!!!

Please accept my obeisances to you!

To your beatiful feets of lotus!!

Thanks for your request to my letters.

We are very sorry to read that your body is bothering you so much... I think how I can help...

I forgot to thank you for your beautiful photo that you sent me in a previous letter where you can see a beautiful sunrise in Vrndavan... very beautiful!!! Thanks a lot. I edited a video that dances 2020 and put that beautiful photo at the end:

https://youtu.be/UN5ukcORBfw I

I would like these photos of my attempted mother katyayani to be just for you, frank and gopal. Please

🙏 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

His classes are the water of my life and they ALWAYS help me a lot.

Please forgive me if I committed any offense at your beautiful and merciful feet. Sometimes this virtual communication is difficult for me. Once, in an online class, I wanted to say: dancing eyebrows!! (from krsna) happy and i pressed the wrong keyboard and typed dancing eyebrows? And you gave me the explanation that it was true that krsna has dancing eyebrows. I didn't doubt that but I typed wrong😏 and I didn't say anything because it was nice to read his explanation too.

Thank you for being my beloved Gurudeva!!!

Eternally!!!

The month of Kesava is always very exciting. We started eating havisyana for the first time by breaking our attempted grain fast in the month of Damodara. I learned many things when I lived in the Chile temple. the devotees fasted from grains during kartika or did not eat until noon, etc.

We keep reciting the entire Sanskrit bhagavad Gita on the auspicious day of Gita jayanti!!!

So pretty!!!

I still have mother katyayani there. (2021 2022). Please tell me if I should disarm them or leave them there under the trees😊

We went to the Adi Sakhi event. I send you photos. And some videos:

Gopalito and I continue our association with japa together in the afternoon. I tell him to concentrate on his friends in Krsna's pictures: Krsba balarsma subala madhumangala!! Let him think that he is playing with them... and he closes his little eyes and chants the holy name like this.

Please forgive me if I inadvertently offended in this letter.

You are our refuge, if we don't glorify you..to whom we will dedicate our meaningless words..only because of you can we associate ourselves with Srila Prabhupada and His beloved Govinda. Vyasa puja ki jay!

Please accept obeisances of franco and gopal!

Trying to serve and please him:

HpS/ASA --- Hare Krsna. AgtSP! Paoho.

Thank you for the letter to our Whatsapp, but please focus on communication through the Blog!

Help!

We were worried not to hear from you.

Now we have all the news.

It is very nice.

Guess we will see you in NVM.

Jaya!

We do not see history of your initiation in our Gurutattva file.

Can you send your:

1. Initiated name
2. date of initation
3. secular name
4. date of secular birth

As much of the same for anyone else who was in the same ceremonly so that Bhakta Tom can update the file.

Thank you.

Hari Bolo!

Hari Bolo!

Record some news and send a Post to the Blog after a few days or week or so!!

Sankirtan!!!

[12/21, 9:09 PM] TC: How are you? Has Ravi come? Havir-bhu mataji is busy and the Bharati Society matter is pending for completion. I am not well. Namaskar

[12/22, 1:42 AM] H P Swami - Prof H H R : Jaya Sri Sri Guru, Gauranga!

Hare Krsna!!!

Hare Krsna!!!

We are recovering from our sojurn in Maya Samsara!

We must chant more constantly.

Radhika-ramana Das (and 25-more disciples and well-wishers have arrived). When is the Professor free or engaged for takinging or not taking phone calls today?

After hearning from you about the work pending for Bharati Society I was able to meet with her and her husband and then we discussed her work.

She described that the work has expanded from 15-20 pages to now 60-pages. That she was doing an hour daily with your good self.

That seems to big for Solaris to print in one edition. I don't have fluid contact with Solaris to know how their publication work is going.

Our research has come to include Gitavali by Thakura Bh. Vinoda, and he coments that Hari-nama-ausadi is the only medicine we need and really accesible in Kali yuga.

Our disease is not dancing in step with the chorus, no?

Dying is a very natural, healthy part of the productive life cycle.

I become sick when I expect more strength natural at my age.

Otherwise we can always we can play our instruments with full vigour and always be in contact with our friends, no?

Thank you.

Hope to see you on the 'fern sprecker' very soon.

Best regards to Children and Mataji.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Please accept our sincere obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope you are very well. Our prayers are always with you.

As I told you in my last report, I no longer serve as a representative of the MOE, however (in the absence of replacement) I continue as administrator of the Bhakti Sastri program. I have just finished translating the question bank that Atul Krishna prabhu was kind enough to provide me with. From this repository, I will develop the new exam so that we can better align with the BoEx requirements.

On the other hand, I tell you that we have begun to meet to replicate the FMP program. We are few at first, but from the 23rd (commemorative day of your beautiful advent) more devotees will join. The idea is to maintain the association and continue the practice of sadhana together, thereby making the witch's service more difficult.

I also forgot to tell you that for a few months now I have been translating The Dimensions of Good and Evil, by HH Suhotra Swami, under the auspices of a disciple of his (Vidyagati prabhu) who gave me permission to translate part of Maharaja's work into Spanish. It is an acute comparative analysis between the moral systems of the West and the one established in the Srimad Bhagavatam. It is a service I gladly do as Maharaja's writings have helped me greatly in understanding Srila Prabhupada's teachings. Once this work is finished, I hope to be up to the task of translating Substance and Shadow and the Pada Padma study guides.

Finally, I ask you to tell me how to serve you in your Sankirtana. We have the desire to collaborate with your requirements, please tell us what we can do for your preaching work.

Wishing you always the best

your servant

Gandharva das

HpS - AgtSP!!! paoho. We very much liked Maharaja's scholarly work.

What are you doing in the secular world?

Tell us what stuff of ASA you would like to translate. Maybe we can give some tips.

Yes, secular world????
