Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja, please accept our obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

Thank you so much for this wonderful letter and these illustrations. The Alfred North Whitehead quote is something I want to remember everyday. So grateful to have you in our lives. And we feel very fortunate to have you approve/bless Madhavi’s name as well and to read your kind words for her in the letter. 

HpS/ASA - Tom Brown, Monkey, agtSP, does most of the handwritten letters! 🐵

The grand plan is to keep Radha Bankibhihari happy and taken care of. Make friends and good association here. Do this and do it fully until another opportunity comes on its own accord. And then someday maybe go on tour again but this time with devotees and yes bring the Lordships with us! 

HpS - Super! Prabhupada recommended Gaura Nitai for traveling.

Anadi will be home schooling Yamuna and Madhavi with Mother Arudha’s books and her personal guidance. 

HpS - Super. If it happens, a nice step is Collective Home Schooling, where up to five families work together to have one or people be full time teachers.

I’ve been asked to take over the temple president role here and have been talking with Radhika Ramana Prabhu quite a bit. Not a huge change because Anadi and I have essentially been sharing that responsibility for a few years now but still it feels like a big weight and a great challenge. I’ve been laughing with Krishna about it and have had some arguments too. I just never could imagine that I would have a responsibility like this. 

HpS/ASA - Get everything written down by the principal participants. Fix it for a certain time eg. six months, one year, then review the contract after that time? Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

Going to have our second movie night at the temple in March. Going to show Brother Sun Sister Moon a movie about Saint Francis. Then we will start showing the Diary of A Traveling Creature movies each month starting in April. 

HpS/ASA - What night? Friday night?

I would like to visit you in Houston in the Spring. Is that okay?

HpS - Our plan is to get ready to board the airplane to Vaikuntha (hell) with notice of one breath. 78-year old body!!! but general consensus is that is practical to plan being based in Houston ISKCON until Janmasatami = August.

11-18 March = Nashville. Especially talking about visiting again around Janmastami time for a big North American festival in Nashville ISKCON.

Always happy to have your corporal association.

Been listening to the SB classes in Houston almost everyday and corresponding with Jaya Hari Prabhu so I’ve been receiving lots of mercy in that regard and it’s been empowering projects here in Boise. I eagerly await your classes each week and they inspire our Krishna Lounge talks and everything else. 

Thank you, Gurumaharaja! Oh and thank you for the donation🙏🏻

Your aspiring servant, 

Nitisara Das 

P.S. here is an animation/puppet show that someone made for a song of mine. The song is about Love in separation with God. He wants to keep working with me so as I develop my own Sankirtan I can engage him in more krishna consciousness subject matter.

HpS - We will look at it a little later!!!

Now... 4.10PM... and packing up to go to the Temple by 4.30PM to be available for and Sadhu sanga, then 6-6.40PM make the Sunday Love Feast lecture presentation.

As usual, www.youtube.com (ISKCON Houston).

Thank you!!!

Respects to everyone!!

Krsna has a career plan for all of us, no?

Maybe over several lifetimes!

Who might you be in the Mahabharata in you next life???

hare krsna,

hare rama.

skc, pna, sad, gdh, sv-agbhv... hk hk kk hh hr hr rr hh! 😃

kk/hh!!!

kk/hh!

hk hk.... become detached from smoking, copulating, eating, breathing... thinking... knowing... existing... play with KRSNA. he wants everyone's service. he uses it to satisfy everyone in the best way possible. 'yatha taror mula niscanena...'.

relatively dead x relatively alive.

in the goloka atmosphere everyone eternally does thrive.

looking for KRSNA in the sound around...

Your Servant

Upendra dasa

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!! If we continue to hear these pastimes, will we join them in reality?

Please, beloved and remembered Gurumaharaja, accept my obeisances to the dust of His feet of lotus 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌷🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🌹🌺

I have never sung publicly. But I have made some songs to Krishna, for several years now and I would like to start sharing them on my Youtube channel.

Gopal likes them very much and I think that if at some point I leave the body, He can continue singing them and be inspired by Krishna consciousness.

I have given a tone to some of the Arcayas' songs, like this beautiful poem by Srila Rupa Goswami that I share with you here:

https://youtu.be/uIplUWpT608?si=YpOrKvzkljH85IVv

I am still perplexed with my dance to Sri Nityananda.. I don't know if I pleased him or not? ...I remember Lord Brahma when he offers prayers to Sri Krsna and he doesn't know if he pleased him or not? .. Krsna didn't respond at the end.. He just played his sweet flute 😊

Last night I saw you in a wonderful dream. I was in Manipur and I was talking to a Manipuri dancer who told me that she went to Peru and was happy to see the Peruvian devotees so united to do their service. And you were there and then you weren't there. There was a big monkey that was passing by laughing and suddenly I saw your face Gurudev..! inside the monkey's face.. I couldn't believe it!! And you were extremely happy, with a beautiful smile!

Because of the dream where the devil was with your face, last time, I'm not worried, I know that it will go away with the maha mantra.. I think that the less importance we give it, the faster it goes away... Can you recommend something to me please? It's good to have you here Gurudev to confirm these things.

I pray to Krsba that I may understand His instructions Gurumaharaja and carry them out with soul, body, mind and words.

But even though I don't chant publicly, I go out into the streets every day and give Vedabase.com to many people. I am always excited to do this sankirtan and distribute the chanting of Srila Prabhupada ki jay!

Here I share some gems that Franco spontaneously made for Krsna Balarama!

I was trying out the camera on this blog and I see that you can also send a video. Would you like me to send you a video of me singing a minute of my japa here?

I'm also going a little blind... as Gopal says, let's go to Goloka!👏👏👏😅😂❤🌷🙏

All this foolish J.P Radha dd. wants is to please you Gurudeva, thank you for your time and adorable Self.

Trying to serve you eternally:

J.P. Radha dd

HpS//ASA - We are going a lot blind. GUess we will all be seeing KRSNA by reawakening our insight! That is very good.

I think that your dance, music, media is great.

The more you get out and share it, the more you will understand how to format it?

Any Sankirtan partners in Cordoba?

I'm Divya Dristi dd from Cusco Perú I was using the name Manjary but now I prefer to write you directly 🙏.

I'm staying in Cusco now,My plan is to live here,I ve rented un appartment,with two rooms, I have the proyect to invite women devotees to leave with me,to give clases of puppetts,theater and kirtan,to children and teenagers ,in the same appartment in the leaving rooms.

The idea is to ask a cover money for the lessons so this money could be used to pay the rent and other expenses like services and bhoga,and much more, to be it susteinable.

The appartment has all services, wifi,kitchen,one toilet with hot water,located in a good location central city, actually in this building there are a liders institute for children and teenagers in the first floor,so its a good location.the last week Prabhu Dinabhandhu from vrindavan and his servant came to Cusco to preach CK and they stayed in this appartment they liked it and Prabhu Dinabhandhu gave me his blessiings for this proyect.

QUESTIONS:

1._Which advises could you give me to make this plan work?

hps - the same always give. have you learned that yet? we smile as we ask.

2._Could you please help me to find two women devotees who would like to teach in Cusco and leave here? If they have experience teaching they can stay from one week to much more time.I could hellooo them.

HpS - Think laksmana or abhirama et al would 600 times better at that than us:

hope KRSNA sends people!!!

Thank you very much for your aswers.

Your servant

Divya Dristi dd.

Hare krsna my remenbered and beloved Gurumaharaja🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🏵🌷🌼🌻

Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🏵🌷🌼🌻🌹🌷✈️

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!!!

All glories to You!!!

I hope this finds you well and happy in your wonderful Govinda consciousness.

Please forgive me, the last time I entered Your wonderful FMP, I had to leave in a hurry because Franco warned me that it was time to break ekadasi and he took my phone, then (as always) I no longer had a signal and then my few days of connection ran out😊

I sent a letter to Him asking what He would like me to do for His Vyasa Puja. I am still waiting for His reply. I can celebrate His Vyasa Puja and birthdays all year round 😀🌹🏵🌷🌼🌻🙏

For now I tell you that I was able to know that the 1st day of the year was His sacred Vyasa Puja! So I made a simple puspanjali with many photos of Him and our beloved Srila Prabhupada! We offered flowers, incense and prayers (I don't have photos) but I repeated before His picture the same words that came from my heart and that I wrote in my annual report. I'm still worried. Were you able to read it? I didn't get a response from Him in my 2023 or 2024 annual report either and I wonder if you read them? I would be happy to know if that was the case, even if I don't have His merciful response🙏

Until I know what you would like me to offer you, I made a video singing Je Ringo Prema Dhana from Sri Narotama das Thakur. And another video explaining the meaning of this sublime song.

They are here:

Song:

Meaning in spanish:

https://youtu.be/lOiaGeE4biU?si=Zk1sPnGIpjTnt66g

I hope to always please You, Srila Prabhupada, and the Vaisnavas.

I'm still trying to figure out what it means: 🐎🚗✈️ ... should we travel ..? or should I move faster? ... please I would like to know. Excuse my lack of understanding.

I hope you had a beautiful Vyasa Puja celebration. I still long to cook and for You to eat. I'm not satisfied with just Your Photo. Even so, we only offered a Cake and some cookies to Your photo. But I still hope to have the opportunity to celebrate it better although I will never do it as You deserve.

Trying to please him forever:

J.P. Radha dd

hps - asa --- we read the annual reports, though slowly.

same, you can see by this letter that we try to answer all the blog posts!

big priority for us.

with the progressing glaucoma is more and more strain to look at the screen.

we just like sankirtan news,
