All glories to you Guru Dev


Whenever I want to communicate with you, the feeling of gratitude flows in me. Thank you very much Guru dev for your example, guidance, tolerance, patience, love and dedication to inspire us and show us how to be devotees in this beautiful path to one day be fully Krsna conscious.

Srila Prabhupada can do it. We are an example.

Jay Sri Sri Radhe Syam, Jay vrndavana dham.


Regarding the films that are being produced so beautifully about The Diary of a Traveling Creature the ultimate trip, together with Vrsabhanu Nandini we have seen the chapter of your stay in Peru. Also, as we have mentioned in other communications, we would be willing and are preparing to assist you with filming in Spain and India. If you still believe that we can be useful, we are here at your disposal.


We would travel the 3; Vrsabhanu Nandini, Hari vamsi Dhari and I. We can both record and edit. Eventually also record sound.


Our equipment is Full HD (2 cameras). Some microphones, audio recorder and accessories (tripod, etc).


ASA - HpS --- Raul has been recording in 4K but that seems to be something to consider. Eg. we could get a 4K camera in Spain, or just shoot at lower density... ??


we are available to help and collaborate in whatever is necessary.

thank you very much Guru Dev.

Your servants Vrsabhanu Nandini DD Ambarisa M Das


HpS/ASA -- We are just consolidating: Getting ready for the time of death. Of course, none of know when we will die, so you, all of us should be consolidating. Chanting one Maha-mantra for each breath. Paying Krsna for the air.

Things are in some Chaos.

Battle of Kuruksetra.

Maybe ASA/NIOS do the second, third, fourth movie maybe not.

Big factor is how the first movie is received.

In any case, plans and work is there for 2-4.

Can you fly from BsAs to Madrid through Miami???

Maybe you can't get transit visa, or transit permission in the airport.

Otherwise is twice the price.

I will call you.

Now.

 Estamos a disposicion para ayudar y colaborar en lo que sea nesesario. muchas gracias guru dev. sus sirvientes Vrsabhanu nandini DD Ambarisa M Das



Offering for H. H. Jayapataka Swami at his Vyasa-puja 2022

3 years, 2 months ago by abhiramdas in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna respetado Gurudeva panhr, TLGASP!! TLGAHpS!!

La madre Ojasvini Radhika dd me pidió que la ayudara a hacerle llegar, por este medio, la invitación, para usted, de los encargados de la publicación del libro de Vyasa puja de SS Jayapataka Swami:



"Mi muy querido y apreciado Siksha guru, Su Santidad Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja, por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias a sus pies de loto. 

Todas las glorias al liberador del mundo entero de toda la miseria material, Srila Prabhupada ki jay 🙏


Querido Maharaja, los discípulos de Su Santidad Jayapataka Swami encargados de la publicación del libro de Vyasa puja, nos acercamos a usted con todo respeto y cariño para preguntarle si usted pudiera hacer una ofrenda para su querido hermano Su Santidad Jayapataka Swami Maharaja y de esa manera embellecer y exaltar más nuestro libro de Vyasa puja del 2022.


Muchas gracias maharaja, a la espera de su amable respuesta

Su sirvienta y siksha discípula, que aunque no le escribo en el blog, si lo sigo en sus clases y tomo como mía, también, su misión de educación Vaishnava como una de las cosas más prominentes en mi vida. 🙏🙏🙏


Su sirvienta

Ojasvini Radhika dd"



HARE KRISHNA GURUDEVA, su insignificante sirviente, Abhirama Thakura Dasa.

JAY SRI RAMA!!!!


HpS - AgtSP... Paoho... We were looking forward to writing this appreciation of Maharaja, but then we were absorbed in the Temple Opening and Rama-navami Festival in Richmond along with initiation ceremonies online and Bhakti Vaibhava final examinations!


We had some close association with Jayananda Das, Hansadutta Swami and our Sannyasa guru, Bhakti Svarupa Damodar but with H. H. Jayapataka Swami, not too much. Of course, he is our GBC Secretary in countries like Peru where we travel, and we come in contact with His Holiness in other Hispanic countries while preaching, but we will only have a little to say.

In general, we have had a few amazing experiences with Maharaja that also happened in the few times we had direct contact with Srila Prabhupada. We have seen Maharaja's inexhaustible travel schedule and his ability to relate intensely with a variety of people, many very intense in themselves.

We tend to be formality bound Sannyasis in many ways but Maharaja's dealings with people are much more flexible and go to a level beyond our ability to evaluate his depth. We have heard that Srila Prabhupada commented on different occasions that he must have been an associate of Lord Chaitanya in his previous life.

Our basic relationship with Maharaja is of one observing a very large and potent phenomenon and desiring to know more.

On this occasion we wish Maharaja the best of wishes for his true abilities to manifest and to expand the Sankirtan movement where ever he goes.

Thank you,

Hanumatpresaka Swami

Jay Sri Rama! Blue Baboon, new ideas.

Hare Krishna, dear gurudeva, Pamho, AGTSP!

I haven't written to you for a long time. I'm not very good at communicating in general. But I always try to keep your instructions and advice in my mind.

It was a pitty we couldn't meet again to talk about education and tell you about my projects, but that's life.

I have been systematically studying and teaching Srila Prabhupada's books for almost 15 years. In the previous stage I did what I could personally. I have tried to help about 100 devotees in their Bhakti sastri studies and as many in the Disciples Course. I currently have 6 Bhakti Vaibhava students and 5 Bhakti sastri students. I am trying to serve them in the best way I can. To tell the truth I'm a bit tired and I need a change of service.

Actually, my service in education is getting a bit complicated. In another opportunity we can talk personally about the details because I do not want to offend anyone since I am too direct and often harsh.

But other challenges, preaching opportunities are opening up and I will let you know in due course when things settle down. Of course, if Krishna wants.

For a long time I was basically doing internal preaching in ISKCON, I think that now I have the challenge of learning to preach outside, that is to say to the general public, in a more than all cultural environment, not necessarily academic. Cultivation of the human spirit.

We are already with my wife and several devotees working on the project. Distribution of culture and prasadam. Work with the municipality of Chosica and expand, again, if Krishna wants. We can live simply by distributing prasadam to my family, friends, devotees and acquaintances in the city, but if Krishna wants we can do more things.

Many times you suggested us to do programs in the city as presentations by choirs from various religious and cultural institutions such as schools and others. We would also like to work with local artists and present theater, poetry, music, puppets. Being part of the community, so they can see us that we are normal people who can contribute culture. And also invite devotees to chant the Maha Mantra, etc. Embed ourselves in the community. I think that is needed. We still have the image of being some kind of aliens who don't have much to do with the people and the community. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

Who am I, who are we, what is the plan, what resources do we have? Right?

I hope that you, Srila Prabhupada and Krishna will enlighten me to understand if what I think is right. When one door closes another opens I suppose.

Your blessings, please, to continue chanting and preaching wherever the Holy Spirit takes me and my beloved wife.

Is there some place where you all can regularly chant in the evening?

Just try to offer the most íntimate mellows of Gaura lila. Maybe chant C. C. ?

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.

https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/7/11/28/

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.

Thank you!

Your servant Namacarya Das

Cookie Recipe, Sadhana, Sankirtan

3 years, 2 months ago by i8themaha in Personal Sadhana Reports, Special Category A

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!
