Dandavat Pranams from Gaura Gadahara Dasi and Vira Gopal Das

3 years ago by viragopal in Personal Sadhana Reports

Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept our humble obeisance's, All glories to Srila Prabhupada


Hope Maharaj is in good health.


HpS - Probably like yours!! Of course, our donkey is old and dissolving. best estimate is collapse in about two years.


Occasionally when I introspect, I am amazed, how little spiritual progress I am making.

Time is always running away from me faster and faster.

Its been almost A year, since we last reported.


HpS - Externally, but how much internally? How have you changed at heart?


Dear Maharaj, We sincerely beg forgiveness for not reporting sooner.

During the past 9 months, Gaura Gadadhara has been engaged in a little, but frequent service for “ My Father in Law”. The precious opportunity to do her little seva for Nitai Gaura Padakamala at Srila Prabhupada’s Bhajan Kutir , gives her immense joy.


HpS - Maybe she has been doing it before in another world?


Along with being The Head Pujari , training her assistant “ A wanna be 😂

” Pujari at home,

Gaura has also been putting in serious efforts to improve her English, she attends school two times a week, does her homework diligently. I suspect, in due course she would be fit enough to teach me.


HpS - English? You are already speaking "British English" are you not, Sir?


I see that Gaura considers herself fortunate to be able to mentor and council some of her god siblings.


During the time gone by , by the mercy of Guru Maharaj, we had the good fortune to be in Ekachakra Dham (A first for me ) and ,two weeks ago, we returned from a month of Ecstatic pilgrimage of Sri Vrindavan and Sri Giri Govardhan Dhams.


HpS - .....


Dear Maharaj, as for myself, Last week, I have somehow managed to scrape through Bhakti Vaibhava 1, and will now attempt to memorize slokas (30 in total) for Level 2 which commences on 10th July till May 2024.


By your mercy, Our health is good, and we somehow manage to (Gaura everyday and I often) make it to Mangala Arotik .


Dear Maharaj, we are now eagerly awaiting your Darshan in the forthcoming months.


We beg your mercy to be able to be in your personal association immediately after we finish the Vraja Mandala Parikrama on 9th of November.


Also our Pranams and Affectionate Greetings to our God Siblings.


Thank you for All your Mercy, although we are unqualified


Yours with love


Gaura Gadadhara Dasi and Vira Gopal Das

Sri Dham Mayapur


HpS - I think we have tickets to be in Bharata from 8th September to 21 January(+/-). We are working on the itinerary now. Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

Opportunity and responsibility, no?

Papas Gouranga. Visita a México


Querido Gurumaharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 


Nos alegra que se encuentre mejor de la alergia. Usted siempre nos enseña a servir a Srila Prabhupada y la misión de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu en medio de cualquier dificultad, de acuerdo al BG 8.14 Sri krishna es su-labhah para sus devotos que lo recuerdan y se dedican constantemente a su servicio, es infinitamente purificante la meditación en vaisnavas como nuestro Fundador Acarya A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada y sus fieles discipulos como Usted. Muchas gracias por sus enseñanzas. 


Gurumaharaja respecto a la pregunta de recibir visitantes de Latinoamérica en México.

México es uno de los países que no ha cerrado sus fronteras durante la pandemia y tiene escasas restricciones a diferencia de otros países, sin embargo el cuidado por los contagios ha recaído en la responsabilidad de los habitantes, en este caso nos esforzaremos con todos los cuidados y protocolos que sean necesarios para que nuestros hermanos espirituales no tengan ansiedad por ese motivo, aunque la situación es cambiante en este tema hay más calma en este momento, por lo que cualquier visitante del Norte, Centro o Sur no tendrá mayores inconvenientes en llegar a México.


Gurumaharaja sabemos que falta varios meses para su visita, sin embargo nos serviría mucho para la organización un par de datos de ser posible por favor.

1) El tiempo aproximado de estadía.

2) El lugar útil de estadía para su Sankirtana. 


Con respecto al segundo punto, es de conocimiento de sus discípulos de México que prabhu Gadhadara Gosai y familia tienen abierta la invitación para Usted y discipulos desde que adquirió la finca. 

Está sería una opción inmediata de hospedaje atendiendo la pregunta de los visitantes, también considera los cuidados de salud, ventilación, naturaleza y está relativamente cerca de Houston.


Prabhu Gadhadara Gosai nos compartió que le escribirá.


Nosotros estaremos iniciando nuestras reuniones para trabajar cooperativamente para más propuestas de ser necesario. 

Esto nada más es el comienzo. 


La situación en el templo está bien, siempre avanzando con los retos diarios que surgen. 

El restaurante está funcionando bien, ahora los comensales también pueden ocupar el área del patio. 

El Jueves 2 de Junio inician las celebraciones del aniversario de los 50 años de la primera visita de Srila Prabhupada a México con la presencia de SS. Guruprasad Swami y SS. Bhaktisundar Goswami. 


Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa atención, por favor disculpe la premura, es muy emocionante saber que pronto lo veremos, parece que cada célula del cuerpo está reviviendo para ser conciente de Krsna.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd

Dear Gurumaharaja.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We are glad that you are better from the allergy. You always teach us to serve Srila Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission in the midst of any difficulty, according to BG 8.14 Sri krishna is su-labhah for his devotees who remember him and constantly dedicate themselves to his service, he is infinitely purifying meditation on Vaisnavas like our Founder Acarya A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada and his faithful disciples like you. Thank you very much for teaching him.


HpS - AgtSP!!!! We are just a simple instrument beaten into some shape after years of sacrifice by Srila Prabhupada. We are trying to be more submissive and sincere!



Gurumaharaja regarding the question of receiving visitors from Latin America in Mexico.

Mexico is one of the countries that has not closed its borders during the pandemic and has few restrictions unlike other countries, however care for contagion has fallen on the responsibility of the inhabitants, in this case we will make an effort with all care and protocols that are necessary so that our spiritual brothers do not have anxiety for that reason, although the situation is changing in this matter there is more calm at this time, so any visitor from the North, Center or South will not have major inconveniences in reaching Mexico.


Gurumaharaja we know that his visit is several months away, however, a couple of pieces of information would be very useful for the organization, if possible, please.


1) Approximate length of stay.

HpS - ASA ---- I think we answered this before, no? Maybe like three weeks???


2) The useful place of stay for your Sankirtana.

HpS - Accessible but most likely out of the Urban congestion.



Regarding the second point, it is known to your disciples in Mexico that prabhu Gadhadara Gosai and family have opened an invitation to you and his disciples since you acquired the farm.

This would be an immediate lodging option in response to the question of visitors, it also considers health care, ventilation, nature and is relatively close to Houston.


HpS - Sounds good. The distance from the airport etc. is important, no?


Prabhu Gadhadara Gosai shared with us that he will write to you.


We will be starting our meetings to work cooperatively for more proposals if necessary.


This is just the beginning.


The situation in the temple is fine, always moving forward with the daily challenges that arise.

The restaurant is doing well, now diners can occupy the patio area as well.


On Thursday, June 2, the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Srila Prabhupada's first visit to Mexico begin with the presence of SS. Guruprasad Swami and SS. Bhaktisundar Goswami.


Thank you very much for your merciful attention, please excuse the rush, it is very exciting to know that we will see you soon, it seems that every cell in the body is reviving to be Krsna conscious.

Your eternal would-be servant

Asta Sakhi dd


HpS - How is your body?? Your esteemed husband?

Now it is 5.09PM here. Arati is at 6.30PM. Some headache from letters. Maybe a few more.

🙂


Amsterdam Kirtan Mela 2022

Hare Krishna Gurudeva,

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

I hope this letter receives you well.


It was an enlivening happening to talk to you recently on the Whatsapp. I'm not sure how to move on from there. Is it alright if i send you a voice message occasionally if i am dealing with bhakti related personal questions that i would like to put forward to you?


HpS - ASA -- Daily basis now we see our body dwindling. Eg. our eyes can only handle so much computer time now. Only possible way for us to handle correspondence is if devotees, people, write here first with their preoccupations in a general sense and then we can give a general answer that will answer six more people with the same general question. If there are need for more confidential details, then, yes, we can try to do that.

Of course, there is Paramatma, Srila Prabhpada's books, local devotees, and then we decide if it is a good idea to start the battle of Kuruksetra.


Naturally i would deal with this privilege thoughtfully.


Besides this i wanted to give you some feedback on some of the developments of our congregation. Saturday may 7th was the day we organized our first Amsterdam Kirtan Mela, which was very well received. We had about 250-300 people in the peak.


-- SUper!!


Hrdaya Caitanya Prabhu was there, and several kirtan singers from Radhadesh, London, Paris and Goloka Dham. His Holiness Sachinandana Swami was so pleased with our effort that he pledged to be there next year and host a Holy Name Retreat as a part of it. We had about 70 volunteers and all expenses were donated, 95% crowdfunded in advance. Overwhelming!


ASA - Gauranga! Gauranga!!


The caretaker of the protestant church we've rented was very much impressed with our ISKCON and congregation. We've become personal with him and were able to help him philosophically in his understanding of Godhood.


We are furthering our bond with him, and as chairman on the board of the Amsterdam Protestant Church he offered his help to see if procuring a building from them is an option. The board of ISKCON Amsterdam is looking for purchasing a building.


We also were in contact with His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami for his presence both this year and the next, but things move a little more difficult with him, so our team is working on that.


HpS - We just saw a notice from him that he is moving into terminal cancer stages and is doing programs to consolidate things before he leaves.


His amount of disciples in The Netherlands has expanded with a handful devotees the last two years but still his presence in the country is rare.


Another big program with Kadamba Kanana Maharaja was the annual national celebration of the Kings birthday, which Maharaja traditionally celebrates by having a large all day Harinam on the streets of Amsterdam (madness!). It was interrupted for two years, and although slightly smaller than before, it was a blast!


Parasurama Prabhu from Food for Life UK and the Nama Ruci chanting group were there. We've seen countless teenagers and grownups chant Mahamantra for the first time, very potent and enlivening!


One thing I have noticed about my intention in organizing the AKM, is that prestige; being recognized by senior devotees (kirtaneers) as a person who wants to serve and does something important, is unfortunately an Anartha in my heart.


HpS - Ha! Ha! Hare! You and 99.999% of the rest of us in ISKCON, no?


At the same time i'm eager for their blessings, but wanting to be recognized is this annoying voice in my mind that keeps on rattling.


HpS - It will probably be there until the day you die, but if you engage in devotional service you will not be bothered by it.


Hare Krishna!

Your servant,

Raghava Pandita dasa.

Super, Super! More news as it comes. Japa. Japa. Japa.


SUper!

Every blade of grass is controlled by Krsna

PAMHR, TLGSP, Por favor disculpe nuestras torpezas.

Estaba confundida sobre el código FMP. Quiero pedirle información sobre el Instituto de Investigación Bhaktivedanta (Calcuta). Para viajar a la India y obtener algunos permisos de trabajo en el campo académico, tal vez podría hacer algunos cursos en este Instituto porque he buscado en Internet y hay programas de doctorado, pero solo busco un curso para obtener una carta invitación. Esta carta tiene que incluir la idea de que me estoy suscribiendo a un curso especializado en filosofía védica. Además, esta carta tiene un objetivo polivalente: notificaciones de visa y permisos de trabajo que me dejen volver a trabajar después de seis meses de viaje. Ya nos había dicho que usted se quedaría en Calcuta (Kolkata), Manipur y Delhi el próximo mes de septiembre. Mi esposo Angirasa y yo podríamos comunicarnos con usted allí. Quizás puedas ayudarnos a conseguir esta carta. El tiempo estimado del viaje es de finales de septiembre 2022 a abril 2023

 

Every blade of grass is controlled by Krsna /Blue boy

Please excuse our awkwardness

I was confused about FMP code. I want to ask you some information about Bhaktivedanta Research Institute (Calcutta). In order to travel to India and get some job permissions in academic field, maybe I might do some courses in this Institute because I have had searched in the internet and there are Phd Programs, but I only searching one course in order to get an invitation letter for this institute.


HpS - ASA - AGTSP paoho. Please excuse our limited ability to handle mail! We are using this Priority Code system to encourage devotees to become informed by reading the news in the Kapi Dhvaja etc. before writing the Blog. Thank you for your letters!


This letter has to include the idea that I am subscribing to a specialized course in vedic philosophy. Also this letter has multipurpose objective: visa and job notifications that allow me to get back to work after six months’ travel. You have already told us that you would stay in Calcuta (Kolkata), Manipur and Delhi on September. My husband Angirasa and I would be able to reach you there. Maybe you can help us to get this letter. The estimated time of the trip is from the end of September 2022 to April 2023.


HpS - ASA -- We just sent a Whatapp to Sumanta Rudra, a Director of the BRC with brilliant descriptions of your qualifications, intentions, necessities and Whatsapp address. I then sent a copy to you. Is that O.K.?

Hope you are in swift route back to Goloka!

Respects to the Angirtasa.

Govinda pramodani and Ranchor are helping with all the travel arrangements.
