HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. Paoho/bw. ... Posting this to our Calendar to review the pages before the Sunday Workshop. Discussing with Upendra Das et al, about turing to the Bhakti-sarva-bhauma Diploma, which is systematic study of CC.


Houston is starting to do the Summative Examination for Bhakti-Vedanta.

Want to join any of these diploma studies? ASA supports them all.

Previous node: /16412/ /16362/


Hari Bol, TB.

You are always with HpS, he must be physically busy. Well in node 16412 he asked me if we have some news. Well physically we have developed Arthritis so moving body is painful now. Intresting thing is it's an auto immune disease, your immune system your self. Why not.


In node 16362 he told us basic program, four rules are intact, can not sit straight for long time, hence having leaning chair, we chant on that max 4 rounds at one go, as we often doze off.


Daily sleep is around 10 +hrs .


Chanting is completely mechanical.


Surviving as can not kill our self


surviving on subsidy,


students have hazy concepts about meat, beer, divinity etc, tough to convince them for surrender and chant holy name.


May be we are arm chair philosopher.


Hopeful that son will meet us , then we meet you and we might re ignite.


the above section was written in monirng, the current section is written in afternoon. we Saw this Narsimha photo, felt like talk to him. felt energised looking at him. Krsna /Rama is sweet but may not for us may be at this time.

may be our mind is distorted towards vibhatsa rasa, it was our fortune to meet alteast one person whom we can communciate this.


HpSwami - Hare Krsna. Sounds like you are inhabiting the body of a rose bush.

Well, in Braja there are also roses. Uddhava just wanted to be a blade of grass.

Some times we are physically exhausted to that we cannot chant on beads. Then we draw and chant one syllable for each pen stroke and count them.

Haw Haw Haw Ray. The Evil One cannot stop us, and every Mantra has an essential contribution for Krsna's schemes.

Visita Moneterrey

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y al movimiento de Sankirtana.


Gurudeva estoy evaluando tiempos, lo conveniente es en México DF un lugar excelente para festival Locana das Takara y Jiva Goswami nosotros podemos ir al festival .

recuerdo un consejo de Jagath Guru es que cualquier evento puede ser exitoso si se organiza con el tiempo requerido , .

en NG estamos con mucho progreso pero 4 meses no es suficiente , viendo calendario 2027 puede ser una estadía similar a su anterior visita en la primavera de marzo , podemos considerar una inauguración de la escuela y estar trabajando en avances para tener una convocatoria de académicos de la región norte de Mexico ,

el dia de Janmastami recibimos la Buena noticia de Guna Vira Prabhu que la Asociación Civil , la cual conformamos ya somos una donataria autorizada que podemos emitir facturas de donación de empresas, agradecemos por darnos la oportunidad de poder servir bajo su guía y consejo , nuestro sankirtan esta vinculado a un santuario de protección a la vaca , con la escuela técnica en sustentabilidad y filosofía , nuestros avances son fuerte simplemente requerimos un poco mas de tiempo para tener infraestructura adecuada para inauguración.

festival de Prabhupada estuvimos jugando un juego que es como un turista mundial pero es con todos los lugares que visito Prabhupada se llama en cada pueblo y aldea , los niños pueden apreciar la misión de Prabhupada atreves del juego.

Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.


All glories to Srila Prabhupada and the Sankirtana movement.


Gurudeva, I am currently weighing the timing; Mexico City would be an excellent location for a festival honoring Locana dasa Thakura and Jiva Goswami, and we would be able to attend.


I recall some advice from Jagath Guru: any event can be successful if it is organized with the necessary time.


We are making great progress at NG, but four months is not enough. Looking at the 2027 calendar, a visit similar to your previous one in the spring (March) would be ideal; we could consider inaugurating the school then, having worked on further developments to attract academics from northern Mexico.


On Janmastami, we received good news from Guna Vira Prabhu: the civil association we formed has been granted authorized donee status, meaning we can issue tax-deductible receipts for corporate donations. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve under your guidance and counsel. Our sankirtan is linked to a cow protection sanctuary and a technical school focused on sustainability and philosophy; we are making strong progress but simply need a little more time to ensure the infrastructure is ready for the inauguration.


During the Prabhupada festival, we played a game similar to "Around the World," but based on the places Prabhupada visited—it is called "In Every Town and Village"—allowing the children to appreciate Prabhupada's mission through play.


HpS ASA - Hare Krsna. Thank you for these decisions and Sankirtan news. Congratulations on new status. 👍

Let us think little more about visiting Mexico in January and start buying tickets.

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Best Janmastami to YOU!


A moment to reflect after the morning program and Abhiseka here at New Raman Rheti, Subhra did send you those pictures I hope.


HpS - Yes!! AgtSP. We just for ward ed them. ----:>



Always enjoy the ceremonials with the Deities, though I felt guilty watching the set-up crew building the tents and stages. Anyway, 12 days prior I was on duty at GG Park for the Jagannatha Swami Show... thank God Lord Jagannatha is real control. JS is a slave driver, though now he’s not moving as fast; I stay ahead and get things done. At least he was a happy, it was a great turnout, yet we were low on volunteers. All good.


HpS - That picture of the snake in the water is in Golden Gate Park!! Seems like Krsna Kaliya!


Here are some samples of my upgraded Ticket versus Biz card.


HpS - To give to people we meet!


The Brahma Huerta (4 sided card) intro Biz card seems best for our Hari Nam gigs. I know the mini-fonts can be a problem so I used minimal verbiage and kept space. For larger formats we have a display stand that takes pamphlets, found it in Houston. Just need to get Sattyaraja’s flyers edited and printed for it.



Feeling a bit voracious, holding on till Midnight for the magic hour. Looks like Janaka the Kitchen super needs me on trash patrol too, guess my calling is still on. Slowing down, myself... get er’ done though, nobody here has the Jayananda Dumpster dancing techniques down. What can I say?



Well, time to get back into Temple mode and bring a change of clothes, some of the work is dirty, though I am cheap.



Janmastami Ki Jaya!!Best to everyone at Natabara-Dham!


your servant in training,

c.c.


HpS - Super. Live action report from the birth of "The Great Destroyer of Despots".


The Cards look interesting. Nice color scheme. Are they printed from a Word document????????

Sankirtan NG montemorelos

PAMHO

ALGTSP

Gurudeva estoy dando seguimiento a conversar, toma tiempo y esperamos las condiciones favorables para toda no es fácil.


HpS - Devotees in DF commented that visiting DF and Monterrey both would seem the best. Many devotees live in DF so it would be easy for them to attend the ceremony for Lochan Das Thakura and Jiva Goswami and the entire Parampara.



GGD. por mi parte evaluando características de facilidades. Monterrey tiene aeropuerto internacional , autopista directa NG montemorelos , tenemos poca altitud a nivel del mar 800 metros ,el aire es limpio poca población y tenemos los hospitales y clínicas Adventistas muy cerca . frontera a USA esta a 1.30 hrs , nuestra infraestructura es funcional hay facilidades de hospedaje para devotos , podemos recibir 50 a 70 devotos gracias a contar con nuevos espacios .

espero tener mas información del dialogo entre monkeys estoy atento para poder servir.

att Gadadhar Gosai Das.


HpS - Bien interesante.

Ya tenemos cuatro meces hacer planes, pero es bueno fijar unas ideas pronto, no?
