Hanumat presaka Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances and all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

My husband is not cancelling his ticket to Singapore to go and meet a married woman (his romantic interest).

Maharaj, should I try to prevent him from going? I have tried to bring up reasonable arguments to his parents and him and he agreed to cancel, but no cancellation still.

If he goes I’m pretty sure he will be physically intimate with her and I won’t be able to stay in this relationship, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to follow the 6 years no remarriage rule you describe as well.

How can I protect my dharma?

Today I threw up my hands and chanted in great prayers to the Lord to please protect my honor, help me follow my dharma as ordered by you, my spiritual master 🙏.

Please help us know what is our duty as a Hare Krsna wife in this regard.

Do we have the right to prevent him by other means?

Your aspiring servant,

Bhaktin Caroline

HpS - All glories to Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Sri Sri Gaura Nitai.

I don't really know the situation perfectly nor am an advisor on the level of Lord Caitanya, nor Srila Prabhupada.

Seems to me that you should not engage in any physical violence but entusiastic argument and threats of threats from a chaste wife are not excessive.

You can spend your time praying to Krsna for some really scarey sounding curses.

Is Srila Pabhupada's first class advice.

Of course one may not be able to chant 16 rounds a day or follow other instructions for initiated standard.

Then one should work sincerely to do the best they can and Krsna will adjust our life and help us to come to the proper standard as quickly as possible.

He appreciates one who is too attached to follow the standard but is not angry at the standard and wants to advance as soon as possible.

Off to the evening program etc.

Your servants,

HpS ASA!

Good luck with you happy progress in your VAD and Sankirtan.

Hare Krishna!

Is there maybe a YouTube place for classes, by yourself and Radhika Ramana prabhu, that will be given in Richmond?

Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya Das

HpS-AgtSP. We just Tweeted link to PAES on YouTube. Beyond that I don't know of any other.

We just punch out gotomeeting.com and ASA Carnaval retransmits them on Facebook.

Thank you.

🙂

Hare Krishna!

Please accept my respectful and humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Dear Gurudeva!

If it's not too late for cookie recipes, here goes...

In a food processor, blend:

20 dates

1 1/2 cups cashews

This will make the "date flour". For more chewy, add more dates. For a harder cookie, add less dates.

Then add a banana, and blend again.

Next through the top keep the pulse button going, while gently pouring a sweetener (agave, maple syrup, honey

..) until the mixture turns into a ball.

Then flatten out onto a cookie sheet and cut into squares.

One option is to roll the squares in coconut flakes for a nice crunchy finish (for Lord Narasimhadeva!!) Or I'm sure Lord Narasimhadeva might also like these with fresh peanut butter spread beneath the coconut flakes!

This recipe can be interchanged with any type of fruit, any type of nut, and any liquid sweetener.

I used to work at a raw vegan cafe, so the only recipe I know is the "no bake" one..

Also, I just wanted to let you know that Iskcon Houston now has Nectar of Instruction on their book table..,😊🌲🌲🌴🌲😊🌲🌄😊🌲

I'm still good with the FMP daily, Mangala with Radha Kalachandji! 16R/4R zero K!

And I spoke with Paramesvar Prabhu, he has agreed to teach me the science of distributing Srila Prabhupada's books. I think I can join him in early August at the national parks....mode of goodness...

Haribol!

Your servant,

Jaya-hari Das

HpS - We are sitting in Richmond getting ready for the PanAmerican Symposium on Education.

Your recipe and news are super motivational for any even 25% sane human being.

Book distribution may become an inescapable addiction!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our most humble obeisances.

All glories to his divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.

We have been eager to discuss program and outreach possibilities but we wanted to wait until you were settled at your home base. We’re hoping the allergy season is not too overwhelming and your health is good Guru Maharaj. I think a lot of us are truly stunned that we get this opportunity to have your association again and we want to make sure it is an ideal month in New Biharvan for you. Please let us know how we can best serve you. Many newcomers are looking forward to the opportunity to have a sannyasi in residency.

The steady outreach program besides our regular Friday BG class and Sunday feast is the Krsna lounge program. This will be every Thursday. We are wondering if you have interest in seminars again (possibly a devotional art seminar…each night we could discuss a different medium such as your film project, puppet theater, etc. local devotees and Sunday school puppetry artists could contribute?). This is one idea but the outreach opportunities are up to you Guru Maharaj. You are the captain of the ship. 

We also were wondering if you would be open to another Krsna meditation park program and house programs. Temple or KCC programs are also a possibility as well as yoga studio outreach or a college program. Please let us know what is of most interest and what frequency of classes and programs per week would be too much or not enough.   We are eager to serve and many devotees are eager to help with arrangements.

Some devotees will be going to Sadhu sanga but half of us will be staying in Boise at that time. We heard from Radhika Raman that traveling to Sadhu sanga may not be an interest. If it is though, there is an Airbnb available in the Spanish fork area for 2 nights and we are happy to travel with you. The festival organizers are excited to host you along with anyone else.

Thankyou Guru Maharaj for tolerating us. We are so so happy, nervous and contemplative on how to best assist. Any helpful accommodation requests would be wonderful to hear! We have time to prepare. On that note, wifi has been installed in the Tulasi apartment thanks to temple management and we can install in the KCC or temple as well before your visit.

Your servant,

Kamagayatri dd and Murari dasa

HpS - Hare Krishna. Thank you for your association!

Of course we can plan for daily Mangala arati.

One class a day seems a good standard and this might be in the Temple or outside, with new or congregational people.

Our focus is our movie consolidating our preaching for last 40-years, so interviewing people, collecting old photos might be a lot of our work.

We expect some guests different times.

We hope to organize a nice international symposium on Jung and the Bhakti Siddhanta.

Etc.

We don't want to go to Spanish Fork.

Maybe we can call from Richmond during next few days.

🙂

Hare Krsna.

We sit on the aeroplane.

About to fly to Richmond in the rain.

Six nice letters.

On the Blog

But loose wifi

As soon as we leap

Like a frog.

So

Answer little later.

YOURS FROM THE BOG.

All glories to srila prabhupada

Please accept my humble obeisances, dear gurudev

I apologize for not writing so often, I have had some health problems and my poor coordination of time.

To begin with, I want to express my great interest and gratitude for allowing me to help you in the service that you practice daily and especially with the film that you direct.

In this regard, I had health and family problems that did not allow me to be very capable of responding promptly to all the requirements, but trying to make the best effort in those difficult moments.

In the same way, I sent my sincere apologies and audio material to Abhirama T. Prabhu, which were not accepted, excluding me from any possibility of being able to perform a service at his lotus feet, which made me very affected and sad.

HpS - Krsna has a better use for you music. 😁 I can see that we are all just little parts of Krsna's orchestra and He is really the only one who knows are ability and sincerity. The saintly Vaisnavas my think ill of us by Krsna's will, but we need to satisfy Him.

Due to the great brotherhood that I have with Juan (table player, Om Bhakti) he understood me and wished that I could collaborate, recording with him some pieces for certain scenes, hoping that they have reached his hands and being to his liking .(attached link to download music)

I am always willing to help in the mission of serving the Lord and facing these difficulties that test my determination and serenity.

Together with Manjuali DD we continue to distribute prasadam to all kinds of people, a service that keeps us in frequency and united.

We were able to get a date for the civil marriage process for April 11.

HpS - The day after the appearance of Lord Ramacandra!

Once I have the document I will present it to the temple authority.

Manjuali Dd continues his service to the deities on Wednesdays and has started his study of Bhakti Sastri.

Excuse my long letter, you are our refuge and guide day by day, our krishna consciousness in your example dear guruji.

Hoping to qualify myself day by day to be at your precious service, your sure servant

March 2022, listening "Hanuman Chalisa"

HpS - 😁 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

We have to pay for electricity, gas.... and also for the air we breath.

Should we chant one one Maha-mantra for each breath.

With our lips or in our heart?

We will fail in our "material" dities?

Really, leave as soon as possible.

I think there will be too much opportunity for music for these movies.
