Hare Krsna.

TB/BW here.

HpSwami is starting to get headaches and stomach ache.

It has been a very intense one week tour of Tennessee: Franklin with Tandavika, M. Mina, Kus; College Grove with Abhiseka Das and Mataji and two children; Murfreesboro with NgD, MDD, Manjari, Mrs. Desai, Bhakta vriksa with Sankirtan Das etal; Vrndavana Forest, Bhakti Raghava Swami.....

Today we did NIOS accounting with Abhaya, got the Mercedes running [cut our head a little], NIOS banking, walk by the riverside. took photos on WhatsApp Community.

Very nice. Very refreshing to be near Krsna's universal form.

A few more Blog posts but must stop here.

Find you place in the great parade, as it passes through your brief moment of time.

Hari Bolo!

Tomorrow fly to Houston.

Hare Krishna, Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

We are having good interest in participating in this 4 weeks syllabus.

I'm thinking starting 9-15th november week and finishing 30/11-6/12 week.

I would like to invite also Yadunandana Swami and Gauranga [Darsana] Das from GEV to participate. So we should think in a schedule suitable for this 3 different time zones.

Which day of the week is better for you?

HpS/ASA - We published our Calendar link in the Kapi Dhvaja last Purnima. It should tell basically where we will be during those dates. I think Santiago, Lima, Houston.

Usually we are not so much controlled by day of the week, rather by other Calendar restraints or programs.

See what we posted on those dates. 🙂

After we settle dates I will start working in the dynamic of the discussion.

Thank you Gurudeva.

Your servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva,

Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias a sus pies.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

I am working to formally present a postgraduate diploma in Ayurveda to the Faculty of Medicine. Initial meetings have opened up a concrete possibility. This project has a real medical and academic dimension, but my deepest aspiration is that it may also become an instrument of service to ISKCON.

I wish to contribute to a more holistic understanding of health and build a serious bridge between contemporary medicine, Ayurveda, and a spiritual understanding of the human being. In my heart, I want to offer you and Srila Prabhupada the fruits of this work and ask for your wisdom to guide it with integrity, without using this mission for my own personal gain.

I will keep you updated with the advancement of the proposal. I think it has 85% chances of being approved. Dean of Faculty of medicine wants to do it. So I have huge support for his part.

Thank you Gurudeva for pushing us forward and help me remain in the University when I had doubts.

Your servant,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Of course, this relates 100% with or upcoming documentary travels to Udipi for filming, "AYURVEDA, Philosophy of Asian Medicine in Tradition and Modernity".

Srila Prabhupada commented to Dr. Ajari 50 years ago that after 50 years the world, ISKCON, would be ready to preach through medicine. Actually our preaching now is turning in the third phase to professional example and teaching.

Our movie will be focused on investigating what Ayurveda treatment is available in India in its most classical form. Then national medical schools and offices can adapt this to their needs.

We are trying to collect requests from ISKCON, friends, about what we can document for them in this movie and tour.

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

After Srila Prabhupada's appearence Day, Panca Tattva's Hut caught fire. Thanks to Krishna he woke up and could escape. He is fine physically and emotionally.

Althought he lost everything, belongings, savings. He could save 2 volumes of SP lilamrita. He could find also Govardhan silas and Gaura Nitai from the ashes. Nityananda's head and one arm melted.

HpS - When this happens to us, we think that Krsna says, "For those I really love I take away everything and give them My lotus feet".

'O'[???]

If any devotee wants to give him a donation to help him rebuild His house i will share here a qr code for PayPal account.

Thank you Gurudeva.

At your service,

Nikunja Bihari Das.

HpS - Hope we can be in touch when we are in Chile etc. Hope this is a fantastic opportunity for him!!!!

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.

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.
