Hare Krsna!!

Tom Brown here!

AgtSP!!! He has saved us from going to bars for social life and drinking strong drinks with alcohol to be able to digest meat and fish, and then suffering terrible in the following morning.

We have very, very, strong daily program here: Chanting Japa before Mangala arati, some art, drawing. FMP. Regular SB classes and Evening program.

Bhoga offerings are very nice and then regular Prasadam with devotees. After Prasadam (during Prasadam!) many questions and comments.

Rohini Devi Dasi and Maria, Elisa (???) Canchacaja were visiting us for one, two days. We had very excellent discussions with them.

With all this contact it is a struggle to do our Carl Jung reading etc. but it will happen, and our developed Ashrama life, preparing for temple classes, is completely necessary because that consciousness is really what we have to offer to innocent people who are just beginning to remember their actual home existence, name and home.

So many more things to say, but can only really say them in response to letters here in the Blog from ASA relatives who especially are reading the Kapi Dhvaja and/or attending our Academy Morning Program!

Lettuce look at let her's!

SP!! p a o h o!!! 🙏

Thursday comes and Thursday goes and still we have 10 nice toes.

No one has written to us with the FMP or KDh Priority Codes, so I guess there are no priority messages.

Our individual priority of taking Prasadam only in the association of devotees. It is a little tough, fitting into the schedule and menu of the Ashrama here, but we are learning, and the cooks are learning what offerings the Lord likes, needs.

It means that we are rather weak some times, but that is good. We are weak. We push ourselves in different social positions with strong foods that artificially stimulate the liver, stomach etc. and then we get more work, but in the long run we are weaker both at the end of the week and at the end of the body.

Humble means to accept how much you can actually do, and accept the social, political, respect you receive for that, but fully conscious that the Lord who sees all things in private will reward you in private.

O.K.

Won't push to answer more Blog posts right now, but look to our other priorities, and see that that becomes the basis of answering Blog posts.

Hare Krsna!!

Hare Rama!!

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami. Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.

Our esteemed Daughter-in-law's water broke in the morning today and she had a miscarriage 😭😢

It was all so sudden.

The baby was 15 weeks and left the body. Please pray for the baby. It was a boy. She was reading Bhagavatam for the entire time of pregnancy and had almost completed the third canto planning to complete reading the entire Srimad Bhagavatam by the end of her term. We hope we have done something useful in the child’s onward journey. Of course our very beloved daughter-in-law is heartbroken. You hve always be such a guide to our family that in this crisis we hope you, Guru Maharaja and all the devotees bless us with illumnation and strength.

It is only by their mercy that we can try to come out of this tragedy.

HpS - 😳

Abhimanyu, Abhimanyu!!!  Krsna, Pandavas, Kuruksetra, Subhadra!!! Mayi-bharta Das and his wife had a third little baby but it was ot developing cognitive functions. A scan showed that it had no developed cerebral cortex and the doctors predicted death within a few months.

They wrote to Srila Prabhupada and he said that sometimes a yogi or a devotee has a little bit of Karma left, so Krsna picks the proper parents and the Yogi, devotee, can finish it off in a few months.

He told them to just surround the baby with Krsna kirtan and feed him Prasadam

We saw the fellow. He looked quite comfortable and instead of a few months lived in that body for 13-months.

Such a Mother is very hard to find, and the asupicious association of such a great sould, even for 15-weeks is glorious.

They might like to read this and stay in close touch with look toward Lord's plan:

Hare Krsna!!!

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Espero encontrarlo más descansado.

Me hubiera gustado mucho poder verlo y conversar en persona.

Voy a escribir en esta carta lo que estaba esperando decirle personalmente, por favor no lo publique.

HpS - Certainly general comments:

Hare Krishna, AmD,

Muchísimas gracias por esta carta. Quizás somos un 75% de devotos sinceros y más allá de eso, nuestros ojos están fallando, etc.

Luego vimos el título de esta publicación y pensamos que era la carta anterior que había enviado, así que no la abrí hasta ahora.

Por supuesto, hemos conversado por Whatsapp y esperamos hablar por teléfono contigo con Parama karuna Das.

Hemos escuchado algunos comentarios sobre esta situación, y los de Patrak parecen ser los más directos, lúcidos y con su habitual motivación muy sincera.

Personalmente, nos enfrentamos a muchos desafíos personales como el suyo de otros amigos y discípulos, por lo que no podemos dar la atención personal a cada uno que queremos.

Tu historia ciertamente parece normal. Dentro del rango del Srimad Bhagavata. No dejes que The Witch destruya tu entusiasmo. Todos somos puros. Todos cometemos errores y luego tenemos que corregirlos. Eso es todo. Nadie tiene derecho a no aceptar la corrección de una situación.

¡¡Todos somos demasiado esenciales para los planes de Krsna de separarnos del movimiento Sankirtan !!

Tom Brown - AGTSP paoho. Ooops. We missed this! If you don't get an answer within three with a Priority Code, then write to us again!

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Since the beginning of this year, I've been contemplating the benefits of taking second initiation. I remember how you often mention in your classes that first initiation is experimental, and that real initiation is second initiation. At the time of second initiation is when Krishna accepts one as similar to Himself.

Guru Maharaja, I wake up at 3:45 AM daily, chant my rounds, do Mangala Arati, and listen to SB and BG classes. I wanted to humbly request for second initiation from you. I received first initiation in 2017 and have seriously kept my vows since then. I think that second initiation will help me achieve a greater degree of purity, cleanliness, and punctuality to serve Krishna.

If you bless me with second initiation, I wish to serve Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladeva, Subhadra, and Gaura Nitai along with my parents, after the grand opening of our temple on October 3rd.

Your servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi Dasi

HpS - It is fait accompli. We are struggling to be good machines for our Spiritual Master but we have challenges from being in foreign country, needing to use an old donkey etc.

Have you done the Bh. Sastri course? I think so.

When shall we have the ceremony?

Need a letter from The Piyari-mohan Das.

What useful are you learning in Yale?

Any friends, students or teachers of KC there?

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Muchas gracias por la respuesta a mi carta, usted ha sido de mucha inspiración en mi vida espiritual y estoy en deuda con usted, eso me alegra porque estaré meditando siempre en esforzarme.

He visto a algunos devotos alejarse de conciencia de Krsna a causa de problemas personales y han caído o no han regresado. Tengo un poco de temor de no recuperar el entusiasmo y determinación de antes en mi vida espiritual.

Muchas gracias por los obsequios Gurudeva, usted siempre acordándose de nosotros.

Espero darle mejores noticias la próxima vez y verlo pronto.

Y ser más útil en su Sankirtan.

Perdone mis ofensas.

Que nuestro Señor Nrsimhadeva siempre lo proteja...

Su aspirante a discípula

Hare Krsna Gurudeva

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you very much for your response to my letter, you have been a great inspiration in my spiritual life and I am indebted to you, that makes me happy because I will always be meditating on trying.

I have seen some devotees drift away from Krishna consciousness due to personal problems and have fallen or have not returned. I am a little afraid that I will not regain the enthusiasm and determination of earlier in my spiritual life.

HpS - The gopis have the same fear, but more intense. Let us all stay together and make it back to Krsna. See Him and Srila Prabhupada face to face!

Thank you very much for the gifts Gurudeva, you always remembering us.

Hope to give you better news next time and see you soon.

HpS - Yes, we have a big box of Gel Pens of different colors and beautiful, large size sketch-book with art paper for you.

And be more useful in your Sankirtan.

Forgive my offenses.

HpS - The only offense is to stop chanting more and more!!

May our Lord Nrsimhadeva always protect you ...

Your would-be disciple

          Karuna Mayi Devi Dasi.

HpS - Krsna is resolving all problems but takes a little dhairyat (NoI 3) to get the final results. More news. Art projects, Sankirtan news.
