Hare Krsna Gurudev : Update from Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.


  Gurudev, Hope you are good in health and doing well.


  Materially things are as usual, still working from Raipur. No preaching for last two years.

  But decided to start SB, BG preaching from August 2022.


  HG Jibesh Dash is in Pune for some seva, requested by temple authority. He will finish his 

  seva by Next month and then he will back in west Bengal.


  Gurudev, are you coming to India in the month of October 2022 ?


HpS - Hare Krsna!!! We hope so. We do a lot of work to publish the Kapi Dhvaja with our news... and of course we work hard to get to posts here in the Blog. Today we have been hit for the second day with our expected Spring, Tennessee, hay fever, attack. Krsna is using newer and newer techniques to drive us out of this hole back into the sunshine!!


Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das


HpS - If we are chanting and pure then we should be able to see the opportunities that Krsna offers for doing Sankirtan wherever we are.

We sent this to a volume being edited by Prof. Dina Bandhu Pandey


"We have written about our contact with Prof. Dr. Samaresha Bandyopadhyay in previous articles. We first met the distinguished Professor, and cooperated with his good self and His Holiness B. S. Damodara Swami (Prof. T. D. Singh), on the Second Congress for a Synthesis from Science and Religion that was organized in Calcutta in the beginning of 1997.


The congress was a substantial success and the beginning of many years of successful professional and personal relationships.


Now we have been offered the delightful opportunity to write for another volume illuminating Professor.


This is done with the perspective that we expect leave this world in about two years. Everyone should make a practical consideration of how much time they have to work on this temporary, material platform.


In that time, what can we do to revive permanent connections so our friendships are not lost?


Giving some reflection to the topic, we would say that we should have discussions on the topic of epistemology. Epistemology, ontology, praxiology - How do you know, what can you know, what do you do about it?


Professor to us is a person with a very strong work ethic. A good challenge to us in many ways. He will sit down at a little table in a hotel room and produce first class material for a conference in progress and its eventual publications. He is a person with strong sense of moral duty and social responsibility. He is a cultured gentleman and friend.


Now we are consolidating our own efforts in research and education which is based in large degree on efforts to address the theme of Science, Psyche and Spirituality, the Encounter of Professor Carl Gustav Jung with the Bhaktisiddhanta of Traditional India.


For a series of symposia on this theme we have asked Professor to review Jung in India (Sulagna Sengupta, Spring Journal, 2013). We see it as a superexcellent work of historical scholarship and an entrance into the mysticism of Jung's life and contribution. Thus in the dialogs that its review inspires we hope to enter into areas of introspection and contemplation that go beyond the intellectual level that characterizes most modern academic scholarship. We look at it like passing over a hill in the forest and seeing a new world in the morning sunlight, or to remember a very poignant comment of Louis de Broglie about modern science and industrialization, "The mechanism requires a mysticism".

Thank you,

Hanumatpresaka Swami (Prof. H. H. Robinson)

Hare Krishna.

We are still alive. By the mercy of Guru and Gauranga


Our sadhana is sane, online FMP. We are reading SB at school, just before classes.

Health is pretty good. Almost 90% of diet in mode of goodness.

Family is doing well.


Due to the situation in the country, we had to do virtual classes to protect children. After one week we are back to school. Today we celebrate Easter holiday. Next week i will be on vacation, but just for 10 days.


I would like to ask you if I can get your permission to perform fire sacrifices (homa) at home... They will be very simple and simplified.


Thanks a lot for your infinite mercy

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette)


ASA/HpS - Thanks Pataka, Antuanette. Your reports make us ashamed of not being stronger in our Sadhana. We are improving.

Kapi Dhvaja is essential to our ASA...

We made a note to write our thoughts on fire sacrifices and saligrama/govardhana sile worship. We will send you a link.

O.K. Here we go to Gaura arati.

Thank you.

Best wishes for your students.

ISKCON devotees in Lima can put their kids in your schiool.

Early Departure

Hare Krsna, Gurudev, please accept my humble obeisances, all Glories to Srila Prabhupada. Hope your energy is full. 

I'm writing here because after 4 month of pregnancy, our baby leave this World.


Before yesterday I was in the hospital and now I'm home.


I'm so sad and doing my best to go forward after that.


I'm taking this lesson like a Krsna arrange but it's so hard to pass this test.


Please pray for the baby soul for not back to this World.


Thanks for read my message. 

Dandavats pranam


HpS - Hare Krsna. Of course, your good god sister in Dallas went through the same problem and then Subal explained that one family here had lost two children in the womb and were now straining like anything to bring a third into their family.

Also, Mother Saci and Jagannatha Misra lost so many girls.


Hmmm.


Tough place.


Rest and chant.


Who knows?


Sometimes some Yogi has a little, little, Karma to finish so they take Prasadam and hear the Japa of a devotee mother for few months then go back to Godhead.


Sometimes someone we really hurt in a previous life comes back as our child to get revenge.


Sometimes....

.... Bhisma and Draupadi were so disturbed by the activities in Krsna lila, but they accepted that even though things were seemingly so bad, Krsna was in control.

Certainly, if we are chanting good rounds and following four principles strictly then whatever happens to us is part of Krsna's plan.


We can make this our last breath and go back to Krsna within a few moments, no?


Scream "Hare Krsna" if you have to, like Draupadi!


Please don't get removed from the battle by The Black Witch. So many people need you.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,


Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to you … All Glories to Srila Prabhupada


Guru Maharaj, Thank you so much for your association in Houston and giving your precious time to

me and Srinatha Krishna Das

We feel so blessed and lucky to

Guru Maharaja thank you for the wonderful gift you gave me. This is the most precious and important gift given by my spiritual master.


HpS - ASA -- It was illustrated Ramayana, as we remember. Very beautiful


I am chanting my 16 rounds, following four regulative principles and doing gayatri 3 times a day

By your mercy I got dressing service in the temple. I dress Radha Govinda and Jaganathji Baladevji and Subhadra Maiyya on Tuesday. Sometimes i also get opportunity to cook for the deities.


HpS - Wow!


Guru Maharaja, By your mercy we were fortunate enough to visit Srila Prabhupada quarters in LA temple.


They have all the things of Srila Prabhupada including his books, shoes, soap, medicines, dictaphones, bed, bedsheets and even the trunk with which Srila Prabhupada came to USA in Jaladuta.


I was so so touched and emotional at that time. We could feel Srila Prabhupada presence in that room. It was a very nice experience.


HpS - ASA - We can smell it as you are describing it. Some day we will be with him.


We were fortunate enough to get the maha-jewelry of Sri Sri Rukmini Dwarkadish. When we said to the Mataji that we are disciples of H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaj. She said, “Oh Hanuman Swami, I know him" 😀 and gave the Maha jewelry.


ASA - Most people run away!
