[12/4, 1:27 AM] Tungavidya Devi Dasi: This is Tungavidya and Aindavi. Here Aindavi speaking- 

Gurudeva, I'm leaving today Radhakund going back to Houston. It's been a wonderful enlightin time here. During the past 3 months I've been doing seva for Giriraj at the sangam (a flower mala everyday) and doing seva for Giriraj at Tungavidya mataji's house. I have become very attached to Him. I have visited some Vrajavasi sadhu's house and they have told me that they can give me one Govardhana Shila only if I get the permission of my gurudeva. So here I'm asking for your permission, please let me know if it's possible.

[12/4, 1:28 AM] Tungavidya Devi Dasi: I'm begging for your causeless mercy to worship Govardhan 🙏

HpS-ASA - AgtSP, first serve Giriraja in Nila-madhava Dhama as you are serving Him now.

Then get His permission to serve Him directly.

Discourse

of a

Traumatic

Citizen

Dear Maharaja Hanumat Presaka Swami,

pamho, AgtsP!

  Responding on some of your ongoing queries with d’ Blog, some difficulties in the format for me, the flow, a bit quirky, jostling questions out of sequence. Since the blog is not always a linear discourse, it will be tricky with this old mind of mine. Regardless, a reasonable challenge and therapeutically appreciated.

  On the personal bhakti hygiene and regulated life style I’m getting consistent in japa, study and occasional rest. Hypervigilance with the mind does need proper engagement, or it wanders into the webs of digital and physical clinginess. Every morning starts between 2- 4 am, with japa and Mangal Arotika daily at home and occasionally at New Raman Reti, usually on special Vaisnava days (of course, they are all special), I will continue this regime till I’m longer here to do so... then wherever I may be.

  “Guaracandra” Prabhu is a friend and shipping supervisor from BBT in L.A. I occasionally order books from him; he posted the info on Maharaja Giriraja Swami.

  In our prior letter, you asked if I had a Brahma-muhurta project. Actually, I do, that is, if writing a “San Francisco Ratha Yatra Roadies” handbook is worthy.

ASA 🦍 🐒 🐒 🐒 perfecto.

  Hoping to complete the SFRY Roadie before this year’s Ratha Yatra, for my service is changing. Last SFRY I was returning the rental truck and grazed a car, year before backed into another. I'm getting too old to drive 25’ Bob-Tail trucks, plus, my bay-area edge is gone, I'm driving in Florida now. Granthraja agrees, so we will see what’s in store this year. The book will also help others who may get thrown into some service.

Thus far, I am fully engaged. When not on seva, I am working on devotees' home maintenance projects (Jagaraini and Akrurunatha are here now, along with Bahushira and his good wife), at least while I can. I am still trying to finish our own garden, and that’s on the back burner. However, I am looking forward to more home-based work.

I hope that this short epistle answered some of your queries, early and late. As mentioned, blog etiquette is a new thing for me.

Bhisma Pancaka Ki Jaya!

Hare Krishna! 

HpSwami ASA - Blog is like a group of devotees out for a Japa walk.

Your post is 👌

Like a peach 🍑

From a tree in Nanda Raja's orchard ripe for Radha.

Wishing you all success in your garden and Sri Sankirtan.

Don't be shy of very big results.

Adored Gurudev! Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet!

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!!!

All glories To You!!

I was looking for more Krishna cartoons! and I found these! They are wonderful, they make me laugh a lot and fall in love with Govinda's flute even more 💕🙏🌹

HpS-ASA - looked, agtSP, at both.

Some nice aspects.

Some technical problems.

Many philosophical problems.

Amazing how Srila Prabhupada’s book give pure, unlimited view of Goloka.

I hope you like Gurudev and feel happy!

I will try to serve you and please you always:

P.D :

Here I am sending you a photo of the earrings that Franco makes by hand! It's incredible to me! He was recently assaulted near his house and his cell phone was stolen. He was walking at night. He told me that he is cut off from the world and he feels very happy to be like this 😊🙏🌺🥀🌹💐

🌸🌷

I can't find a way to send audio here 🤔

Gopal wrote to you here and I also sent a letter. It was when you were leaving Spain for India. Were you able to read it? Would you like Gopal to send you the same letter or any news? Thank you very much for your valuable time, beloved Gurudeva (I had sent a photo of some flutes that Franco made out of reeds) 💕🌹💐🌸💐🙏🙏🙏

HPSWAMI-Did not get the letters from Gopal.

Some letters arrive from you with no content.

🤔

Try again.

👍👍👍

Hare Krishna, Maharaja and Devotees;

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

All glories to Guru and Gauranga.

I hope your trip to India and Spain is producing very successful preaching results and I hope your health is in excellent shape by the mercy of Shri Shri Gaura Nitai.

💪💪💪🦍 - AgtSP, surviving and serving.

Read all about it here, on [X] and within your pure heart ❤️

As per our earlier correspondence in reference to resuming our regular reading session on CC Madhya Lila, I am sending a following message.

Maharaja, we can start our regular SB workshop reading session from December 8, 2024. I humbly request you to please let me know your schedule. Looking forward to getting your valuable association and hearing from you soon.

Maharaja, thank you engaging everyone in reading systematically books of Srila Prabhupada.

We 🤔 think that today is the anniversary of the disappearance if Sriman Raktaka Das.

He is the first disciple we initiated for KRSNA and Srila Prabhupada.

He enlivened so, so many people in Krsna Consciousness.

He managed so many Yatra, pilgrimage, tours for us and devotees in India.

He left his body on Ekadasi during Katyayani-vrata, Keśava mas, in Vrndavana. He went to join Krsna on some planet in the material world where Krsna was personally incarnate?

He hosted us, about 8-devotees in his hometown of Fazilka, took us to the Flag Down ceremony at the Pakistan 🇵🇰 border and then an evening Kirtan, lecture and cups of Halavah at the town assembly hall.

Super.

Kolkata, Mayapura, Manipura, Lucknow, Naimiśaranya, Vrndavana, Delhi together.

Hope to see him soon.

🙁 🙂 🙁 🙂 🙁 🙂

Hare Krsna. Hare Rama

Hare Krsna gurudev!! 😇

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias y sean todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!! 🙏

Espero que usted esté muy bien, con energía y buena salud para emprender este nuevo viaje España-India-España.

Lamentablemente no puedo ir a verlo, era mi plan pero no el de Krsna/mi karma. Mi mamá de 84 años está viviendo conmigo desde marzo, es un gran desafío pero una gran bendición para ella, comparte todo con los devotos y a veces canta Hare Krsna! 😀

Ella lo recuerda con mucho cariño cuando lo conoció en el templo de Urquiza, Buenos Aires.

Hace un mes comencé la carrera de Psicología, se que estoy grande para recién comenzar pero estoy contenta, espero terminar.

Mis rondas y principios están bien, sin muchos cambios. La compañía de Deva Vrata das (como amigo) es una gran ayuda en todo sentido, él es muy entusiasta.

Los devotos de aquí somos sinceros, con dificultades de todo tipo (quién no las tiene), un poco flojos, pero queremos avanzar y nos tenemos cariño y nos ayudamos cuando nos necesitamos. Recientemente vino a vivir una familia vaisnava con 3 niños, que se suman a los 7 que ya hay.

Mi economía sigue escasa pero tenemos lo necesario.

Gracias por su compañía, por su guía, por su presencia gurudev. Usted, Srila Prabhupada y los devotos son mi familia, sólo quiero estar con ustedes eternamente.

Lo veré en su viaje a través de los ojos de otros devotos!!

Más éxitos de los que ya tiene, que Krsna siga elevándolo más y más.

Su discípula que lo quiere mucho.

Campaka Lata dd.

HARE KRSNA!!

Hare Krsna, gurudev!! 😇

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

I hope you are doing well, with energy and good health to undertake this new trip Spain-India-Spain.

HpS - ASA -- Very sorry for delay in answering this letter. Very, very sorry!

From Twitter etc I guess you know why.

Wish we could do more.

Unfortunately I cannot go see you, it was my plan but not Krsna's/my karma. My 84-year-old mother has been living with me since March, it is a great challenge but a great blessing for her, she shares everything with the devotees and sometimes chants Hare Krsna! 😀

HpS ' Super, SUPER, SU SU SUPER! 😃

She remembers him fondly when she met him at the temple in Urquiza, Buenos Aires.

A month ago I started the Psychology degree, I know I am old to just start but I am happy, I hope to finish.

My rounds and beginnings are fine, without many changes. The company of Deva Vrata das (as a friend) is a great help in every way, he is very enthusiastic.

The devotees here are sincere, with all kinds of difficulties (who doesn't have them), a little lazy, but we want to move forward and we love each other and help each other when we need each other.

HpS - Incredible. Srila Prabhupaada's energy is all over the world.

As other movements fall apart eg. Industrialization, Lord Caitanya's will flourish.

Krsna will give all of you a part, no???

Recently a Vaishnava family came to live with 3 children, which adds to the 7 that we already have.

My finances are still scarce but we have what is necessary.

Thank you for your company, for your guidance, for your presence gurudev. You, Srila Prabhupada and the devotees are my family, I only want to be with you eternally.

I will see you on your journey through the eyes of other devotees!!

More success than you already have, may Krsna continue to elevate you more and more.

Your disciple who loves you very much.

Campaka Lata dd.

HARE KRSNA!!

HpS - Thank you so much. We are trying to answer more mail better.

You news is like sunlight.

Yes, Yes, Deva vrata Das as a friend is very nice person.

He has been 90% of any success we have had on this trip so far.

You get news from Twitter and ASA Carnival and this Blog?

You have any animals?

You are guru for you classmates.
