HpSwami .. AgtSP ...paoho!

On June 17th, I released the trailer and the first episode of the project "Stories of the Universe" (Second Edition). Here I share with you the 3-minute video:

I would like to sincerely thank you for your wise teachings, especially during the Bhakti Vaibhava course you led in Peru. That experience helped me clarify many concepts that were essential in writing the scripts for this project.

I am still working at Huawei, and I continue to follow the four regulative principles and chant 16 rounds (about 90% of the time). I’m also doing service at ISKCON – Miraflores, supporting the preaching programs on Saturdays.

Thank you very much, Guru Maharaj, for being our guiding example.

HpSwami - If you don't finish your rounds, keep track of your debt and pay it back next day!

16x4 is the electronic handshake between us and Krsna.

Without that. The rest of the service is not properly encoded when it is sent.

We hope that they look at Stories from the Universe even in the halls of heaven.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

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

My chanting has improved in the last few months. (I had told you in my last letter that i was struggling with my Japa with sleeplessness and exhaustion). I am chanting my rounds, and the quality has also improved now as I am getting better sleep.

The Whatsapp group is a wonderful idea, Guru Maharaj. It feels more personal, and I feel closer to your words than when you were posting on Twitter.

hps - asa -- many folks have said the same. the biggest room in the world is the room for self improvement, so we can always make things better. even carry them on to braja!

I reached Chennai, India last week and we are all here (Vishaka, Dhaasharathi, and Srinath's family too). We are here to celebrate Dhaasharathi and Chandranana's 1st year ayushomam ceremony which will be held on July 16th (the stars of both kids fall on this day). We are having the ceremony for both children on the same day. We will have a yagna and the ear-piercing ceremony. Both kids are walking now, and they are a handful.

They both love the morning program and rarely miss it. When they are crying, taking them to the altar and showing them the deities instantly stops their crying.

asa - 🐵 my God!!!

We just had their heads tonsured last Saturday (14th June) at Pazhani, a famous Kartikeya temple (a family custom).

For their birthdays on 27th and 28th June, we are all going to Mayapur, Guru Maharaj. Dhaasharathi's birthday on 27th has fortunately fallen on the same day as the Rath Yatra in Rajapur. We are staying in Mayapur from 26th to 30th.

asa - 😬 very amazing!

We pray for your blessings so that both children can become nice devotees and serve to their best abilities in Srila Prabhupada's mission.

I am not sure if I already informed you of this development, Guru Maharaj. The last few months have been a blur. Vishaka has taken shelter from His Grace Vaisesika Prabhu. We will be going to ISV in September for Maharaj's Vyasa puja.

I listened to this 2-part seminar recently on vaidhi and raganuga bhakti by Hari Parshad prabhu and found them really wonderful:

I will send some pictures of both children to you on WhatsApp, Guru Maharaj.

Your humble servant

HpS - We are trying to listen to Hari parishad Das lectures on Upadesamrta, so will add these to the list.

Very best Krsna conscious perspective on all these rituals!

Very best.

Whenever we use our S23 elite we think of you.

Please send more news of this exciting journey!!

TlGaSP! Todas las glorias a los Vaishnavas!

Mi muy querido Gurudev, como siempre es tan bondadosamente agradable recibir sus cartas. Muchas gracias.

Respondiendo su pregunta, en el año 2011 me titulé como Instructora de Pedagogía Teatral. Pero hace años no trabajo en ésto. En el año 2013 comencé a dedicarme a la Metafísica y a realizar talleres de Tarot, Onirología y terapias relacionadas. Desde esa fecha me dedico a interpretar Tarot. Siempre ha sido muy lumínico y positivo. Pero ahora tengo dudas al respecto y me gustaría que por favor usted me aclarara si es posible: El tarot está dentro de la categoría Juegos de azar? Será negativo energeticamente? Hay devotos que piensan que leer el tarot abre camino a entidades bajas y/o que es mal karma. En lo particular siempre trato de generar ayuda y consciencia espiritual, pero tal vez no sea bueno para mi hija y yo.

Estoy confundida y no sé si seguir dedicándome económicamente a ésto.

Por favor me puede guiar al respecto? Disculpe molestar.

Por otra parte, me gustaría enviarle Dharsine. Gurudev usted tiene cuenta PayPal? Cómo puedo enviar Laksmi a usted?

Agradezco el tiempo dedicado.

Con muchos deseos de verlo (hija también) un gran abrazo de ésta elefanta torpe.

Ekangi Dd e Yi Lin.

My very dear Gurudev, as always, it's so kindly pleasant to receive your letters. Thank you very much.

In response to your question, I qualified as a Theater Pedagogy Instructor in 2011. But I haven't worked in this field for years. In 2013, I began to dedicate myself to Metaphysics and to teaching workshops on Tarot, Oneirology [the scientific study of dreams], and related therapies.

Since then, I've been reading Tarot. It has always been very luminous and positive. But now I have doubts about it and would like you to please clarify for me, if possible: Is tarot reading classified as gambling? Is it energetically negative? There are devotees who think that reading tarot leads to lower entities and/or that it's bad karma. Personally, I always try to generate spiritual help and awareness, but it may not be good for my daughter and me.

I'm confused and don't know if I should continue to dedicate myself financially to this.

Can you please guide me? Sorry to bother you.

Also, I'd like to send you Dharsine [daksina]. Gurudev, do you have a PayPal account? How can I send Laksmi to you?

I appreciate your time.

With much desire to see you (daughter too), a big hug from this clumsy elephant.

Ekangi Dd and Yi Lin.

HpS - A warm wave is proper. Ladies cannot embrace sannyasis!

I cannot say much about the Tarot.

Of course, there is no mention of this in Srila Prabhupada's instructions, comments on life, that he left for us in his books.

The pictures may be archetypal as mentioned by Jung, and Brahmana, Ksatriya etc are parts of the Virata rupa.

An intuitive person may give some insight stimulated by the cards that occur, but I do not know.

It can even be classified as entertainment like the jugglers that served in Krsna's court in Dvaraka. if you are following principles etc. then i cannot see how the energy would be negative.

write a krsna conscious story of each card and post it here.

we don't have a paypal account. maybe we can get it set up with the houston temple for sankirtan work here eg. making a school for you all to join and study cinema!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj

AGTSP,

Please accept my Obeisances

Personally we dont want to write as is it might intervene in your lila -smaranam/internal life.

HpS - We hope they become the same. bahir nrsmha, hrdaye nrsmha!!

in the NoI we looked at how he defined iskcon, this movement, and it started with non-envious, following four principles, rounds, up early, associating with discrimination with three different kinds of devotees in the society.

we are very thank ful to you to give this hierarchy/stages. we messed up this very much. trying to association with discrimination without up early/rounds etc.

we want to complain, but we know that's stupidity, its rare to even know/hear of Krsna and his holy name, in many life times.

though perfection is always ahead, but still we appreciate what is with us.

strive for WOW, dont forget NOW .

trying to move ahead or hang on

HpS - In our opinion, your son and family are very fortunate to have you as a member.

Mark Twain said that life would be a lot easier if we were all born 80-years old and got younger?

Next life in Nabadvipa as member of Nimai's iskcon gang?

Baby of saccimata's neighbor???

Mbdp, agtSP, asked how to include photos from the phone in this Blog.

We took a picture of our non-lotus feet, tri-danda, and Krsna harassing the Gopis.

Then tapped the add photo button in this Blog Save sequence. Then we looked in DCMI or Pictures and posted it.

With some effort and maybe help from the 'young folks it should work.

Then we can go to Mayapura with Mister Bhagavan!

Please accept my obeisances to your beautiful and remembered lotus feet😃🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🌷🌺🌷🌺

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!!!

All Glories to You, my adorable Guru Maharaja🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

💐🌹🌷🌻🏵️🪻🌼💐🌹🌺🌷💐🌹🌹🌷🌻💐🏵️🌷🌸🎶💃

The only way I can accept Your obeisances, adored Gurumaharaja, is by understanding that you are accepting my maternal feelings, and just as a son pays respect to his mother, you, being perfect, do so. In reality, I am just a soul searching for the truth, and you and Srila Prabhupada gave it to me, therefore, you are offering your respects to your own work as a guru and to our beloved acarya, founder of the soul-saving movement, Srila Prabhupada. I am nothing without you, therefore, I am only now a reflection of your instructions and beloved association. You gave me the nectar of life, which I longed to know. I have nothing more to search for. My happiness is because of you. So, your respects are to Srila Prabhupada’s books, which saved my life. Your respects are to you, who, with your great love, great compassion, and causeless mercy, made me an aspiring devotee every day. And that's what I want to do for the rest of my life, 🙏🏻❤️

Because Srila Prabhupada's books are in my heart, and because respect is truly given to the heart, you are revering our beloved books of Srila Prabhupada, because They are always in my heart because they saved my life.

My eternal obeisances to the dust of Their lotus feet, to Srila Prabhupada's feet, and to those little blue anklets of our Krsna🥰🌷🙏🏻

please: what does sidha deha mean? Thank you for blessing me in such a magnificent way🙏💙. I truly wish to achieve this!

ASA = siddha means perfect. deha means body. siddhs deha is our eternal body. we feel uncomfortable unless people give any respect for any qualities they see in us 99.999% to srila prabhupada.

his eternal aspirant to always worship his lotus heart by worshiping the dust of his feet:
