Please accept my obeisances, all glories to srila prabhupada, all glories to you. I haven't written to you for centuries, I was honestly ashamed, but the other day I met Rati Manjari in the temple and she told me that you would not come again, suddenly I fell into something obvious perhaps ,but even so, I felt like I had taken her presence for granted,


thinking i might see you again. Although I never stop respecting you and be grateful for everything you taught me, I want to take the opportunity to do so. I am chanting japa again regularly, I ask you for blessings to continue doing it always.


HpS - ASA - God bless you many times. You are a good devotee. Get back to work on you Karma.


All these years, although at one point I lost time, they helped me to realize important things, that I never want to leave Krishna and that the knowledge you has given me is the most priceless, so i can only say im eternally grateful,Sarad bihari Dasi


HpS - Well, this letter took months to answer. [Not centuries [Ha Ha Hare]] Of course, we all miss you very much and maybe even appreciating the strong Karma that has caused you to apparently deviate from the formal nature of Sadhana Bhakti, but also feeling that you would pulling your nose back up and become a regular devotee again.

Please read the Kapi Dhvaja and write to us (with Priority Code).

Hare Krsna!!!

You have a lot to do.

AGTSP!!! Paoho.


TB/BW here. HpS/Brother Ass are always pushing their strength. [They indulge in a little recreation [Cartooning Tutorials etc.]]. So it is hard to handle all the important things.

This weekend was very full with regular classes and teleconferences and also we have regular visits each weekend on scholars and artists, so.... we will just go to the Blog posts to answer now. We will look for those with the current FMP and KDh Priority Codes. We updated this system into the Letters to the Editor link in the latest Kapi Dhvaja.

Here we go!! 🐵

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama,

Jaya Gauranga-Nityananda-rama.

Srila Prabhupada, Ki Jai!


Esteemed Prahlada nrsmha Das,

Paoho...

How is your health? 😐

Did you die and go to heaven?

Family?


  1. Our address book got corrupted and we lost many addresses. Can you please send your Whatsapp phone number here? We will not publish it.
  2. Can you erase all the disciple's Annual Reports from last year, so that we can start fresh for this year?
  3. Myself and Pancha-tattva Das both experience, on certain devices, that VedaBase.io hangs up on anything but the Home Page. Yet, if you disconnect from the wifi and then reconnect, the target page immediately loads. I have tried different browsers, erasing all cookies etc, but still it happens.
  4. Can we give any help to get TLC up in Spanish?

VedaBase.io is super, super service to ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada, humanity. In the next life the organizers will be librarians for Nimai in Nabadvipa?

AGTSP.

Sometimes we have energy, sometimes we don't.

We feel we should always have the level of energy that we have when it is high, but them we realize, that we are not always strong.

A 1/2 hour radio show turned into two hours last night, late.

We were tired today.

O.K. Have to pick priorities.

Can't do everything.

Even a little bit will get you more and more in step with the actual servants, Gopis.

Now we go to Gaura Arati. Krsna book.

On line.

Hare Krishna! Your Holiness Hanumatpresaka Swami 🙏🏻 I offer my most humble and respectful obeisances all glories to Srila prabhupada 🙏🏻 all glories to you 🙏🏻🌺 I hope you and the devotees accompanying you are in good health 🙏🏻
I am already taking the course of devotees, I just go a little slow I'm not very smart, I keep doing sixteen rounds or more only now I try to make it sixteen good rounds, I continue to carry the four principles I hope for the causeless mercy of Sri Krishna, I can carry them until I surrender the body.
I want to tell you that for almost six years that I have known Krishna consciousness I have read a little I started with small books I will mention some, to be born again, beyond birth and death, on the way to Krishna, the perfection of yoga, the Upadesamrta Wonderful stories from India, are some of those that I remember, I have also read the teachings of Queen Kunti, the science of self-realization, Sri Isopanisad, Krishna the source of pleasure, KRSNA The Supreme Personality of Godhead, the nectar of the devotion, Bhagavad-gita, first Canto of srimad bhagavatam and right now I am reading the second chant of srimad bhagavatam
I can understand that I have read little and I have a lot to learn, also in the first years that I knew Krishna consciousness I was buying small books to give away and like Hiba learning Hiba preaching but I realized that people did not appreciate them much and, I went back to buy more small books (some were given to me by a devotee) in order to d e go out to preach but the occasions that I have gone out, I have not had success with books, but when I go somewhere I talk to people and gave them the printed maha mantra, I have not been able to preach much as a servant would like, I hope some day I can do it to please Srila prabhupada and you 🙏🏻

HpS - If we continue with the Sadhana, daily practices, we will become more, and more, and more pure, which means more and more force. Then our preaching will become more and more powerful. The results, many people becoming devotees, depends on Krsna and on their free will, as well as our efforts.
  1. We stay pure (16/4 - FMP)
  2. Krsna sends innocent people.
  3. They do the austerity of listening to new ideas!

Who do you get as associates in your reading?

REMINDER


All Glories to Sri Krsna, Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Brinda.

 

Hare Krsna, HpS Guruji Maharaja, Dandavat Pranam!

 

Please accept my humble obeisances unto the padmacharan of Guruji Maharaja that in relation to my previous letter, as Guruji enquire I am trying to answer in my level.

I have re-read Gita 4.40 “One should therefore follow in the footsteps of great acaryas who are in the disciplic succession and thereby attain success”. Manipuri Gourida Vaisnavas are the followers of “Naratoma Das”. He incarnates as Rajarsi Bhagyachandra, former Maharaja of Manipur.

 

Guruji asked me some questions they are : So, are you “Nistha”? – Yes. Are you fixed in devotional service? – Yes, Every day up for kirtana and Mangala arati during Brahma muhurata? – Yes, I rise up at 2.30 a.m., after finishing all morning duties I worship my deities at 4.00 a.m. Daily, if I am not out of station or ill. Always chanting 16 nice rounds etc.? – Yes, 16 rounds is minimum, more than 16 rounds or more than 32 rounds. Guruji Maharaja! I don’t know the meaning of “nice” in chanting is it attentively? Again really speaking I don’t understand whether I am in the stage of Raganuga Bhakti or Bhakti Bhava but my practice is simple with my own Prarthana.

 

 

I think, now my level is Kanishka in the spiritual life, but in my opinion, just like a student of standard-X, may know how to go to Delhi from Imphal; by air, by train, or by road but not seaway because there is no seaway between Imphal and Delhi. Likewise, a graduate may know how to go to New York from India, by air from any international airport, or by seaway from any international seaport but not possible by road. When that particular person has the capacity to go to Delhi or New York he has to arrange the requirements such as tickets and necessary amounts etc. Not only that the Passport, Visa and foreign currencies if he wants to go to foreign.

 

The Manipuri Gourida Veisnavas followed the simplest system path (padhati/way) to reach Goloka Vrndavan is, first of all, we have to initiate under a bonafide Guru, then we will get Das Nama from the Guru – under His guidance we should approach Nityananda Prabhu with Gaitri and Mantra. After serving and satisfying Him, with His permission we will approach Gouranga Mahaprabhu with Gaitri and Mantra; after serving Him, then Gouranga Mahaprabhu (Guru Rupa Shakhi) will give my name of Sakhi-Manjari. Then, Guru Rupa Sakhi will guide us (Guru’s Sakhi-Manjari and self) to Vrndavan and hand over to a particular…….. Sakhi who are serving in a particular gate (8 x 8). That particular Sakhi will hand over to a….. (particular) Manjari (8 x 8) of the same direction then we will get our particular duty because broadly eight directions have eight different duties. After joining the daily routine duties, then Sri Rupa Manjari will introduce me (along with my name of Sakhi Manjari) that she is the dasera anudasa of ……….(particular) Manjari to Srimati Radharani. After hearing the name of the new Sakhi-Manjari who is following Guruji’s Sakhi-Manjari and her systematic approach but unknown to the service, as a newcomer, Srimati Radharani satisfied her young, simple, and politeness. She accepted her to join the team, then She (Radharani) comes together with her, near the Lord Sri Krsna, and introduce her name, group, and Seva (service/duty) in detail. Then Sri Krsna accepted her as Srimati Radharani already accepted her as anudasi and allows her to join the service under the group of that particular Manjari. In this lifetime, we are practicing Gamana Gaman (to and fro) but after death, we will not return again. It is not the last but further, dipper opinions, and explanations among Manipuri Veisnavas in this regard.

 

 I am daily practicing the above systems in the Mangalarati at 4.00 a.m. With my own heartiest prarthana. This is the initial arrangement of the requirements to approach Goloka Vrndavana by following Guruji’s Sakhi-Manjari during their lifetime (Gamana- Gaman and after death Gamana only). Under which gate and Sakhi-Manjari we will enter the Goloka-Vrndavana, Rasa-Mandal, and what types of seva (service/duty) to be served through the instructions of our senior Sakhi and Manjaris of our group.

 

·        It is not found in any prescribed books of Gita, Bhagavat, C.C, NOI, NOD, and Bhaktirasamrta Sindhu, etc. but it is only found in the Guru Astakama and the sayings made by the disciple and followed systems of six different Goswamis followed from Gouranga Mahaprabhu – Gadadhar Pandit – Lokanatha Swami – Narotama Goswami – Rupa Pramananda Goswami – Ramgopal Beiragya – Nidhiram Chakarbarti Thakur – Rajarshi Bheigyachandra (King of Manipur), who died at Murshidabad of W.B where Narotama Goswami turned into milk in the Padama river. The firewood arranged for the cremation of Narotama; criminated Bheigyachandra (Bheigyachandra is the incarnation of Narotama Das Goswami - common belief in Manipur). Manipuri Gourida Beisnavas are the followers of Narotama Goswami.

 

Even now I couldn't get Ananda Rupa Haridasa Swami Maharaja’s reply, getting, immediately I will forward.

 

Excuse me thousands of times if there is any ill-hearted caused from my side; that is why I simply sick Guruji’s asirbad/ anumati of taking my name of Sakhi-Manjari.

 

Your fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das


HpS - Thank you for your letter. Srila Prabhupada, Ki Jai. Basic principle is to take shelter of Lord Chaitanya and Harinama. That is sufficient, no? The the rest will follow from that. BG 10.10 and 11. Are you worshiping Radha Krsna deity?

Have you asked them about following the Sakhis? Every day we chant prayers to Tulasi devi, "ei nivedena dara, sakhira anugata koro". Do you get inspiration from Her about following Sakhis?

We can follow Sakhis by becoming like Krsna's flute, Krsna's cows, Sakhas. They are all part of the same lila. Uddhava just wanted to be a blade of grass in Vraja. What do your deities say?
