Hare Krishna, Maharaja.

Please accept my humble Obeisances.

All glories to His Divine Grace, Srila Prabhupada.


we think of you often recalling some of the wonderful pastimes we have had with you and are looking forward to seeing you again. Hoping you are well and feeling the appreciation that so many devotees have for your association.


The last time I saw you you asked me if I had any news from Bobby.


My son Joel asked me if I would cook something for a small gathering to be held at the home of his half sister.

A daughter of my X husbands second wife.

When I drove it over out comes running like a small child, my x husband. I know you remember him.


HpS - Yes, we stayed at his house the day the highway North was closed.


After a warm heart felt greeting, he, out of context loudly said ‘Bobby’s in India.’ From the reactions of the other people there they had not heard this before. Shocked, I asked him ‘how do you know’? He just kept insisting. I just know. Then he kept asking questions about India and reincarnation. I was answering as best I could but imagine my shock.


When you met him he was an atheist. So years of Christmas Prasadam and tee shirts, books and Ganges water, and then your visit a bloom comes in the heart. I keep in touch and am feeling really humbled by the mercy we are all receiving every single moment.


Thought you might enjoy this little follow up.


I want to thank you for everything you have given me. We are in Alachua and are ok. Your disciple Nick gave me your info.


Yours in the service of that Divine Master Srila Prabhupada. 🙏🏻❤️😷🇮🇳😥


HpS - Wow! AgtSP. I had the hardest time figuring our who mbdasi is. You didn't sign this. Then "Bobby". Maha Bhagavata Dasi!


!!! 🚩 !!!

So very nice to hear from you. We were really sad we had lost your contact. Respects to the Ksetrajna Das. If you read the Kapi Dhvaja you will see that we are in Peru for six months. It is the start of our effort to consolidate all the preaching we have been doing into a movie etc. We will be back in USA 7 March (if we get a Visa extension) and stay there until middle of July.

Then we hope ... Madrid... India ... Sankirtan party where ever Srila Prabhupada is!

More news as you get it.

Maya javanikacanam: PROGRAM OF SRI VYASA PUJA Urgent

3 years, 8 months ago by candra108_mukhi in Calendar Development

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, AGTU, PAMHO


Thank you so much for joining yesterday in our meeting for the Sri Vyasa puja. In [It] meant a lot for all of us. When you left we started to coordinate with the Godbrothers and sisters that were present. It was really encouraging.


I still have some doubts about the program that is [erase] I am posting here so that you can approve it or not.


One general comment here. Since the very begining Palika and I were just trying to do some kind of organization due to we see that there was not any, at least proactive. It has been very challenging trying to please everyone or at least that everyone feels supported and included. I can speak to myself and on behalf of Palika dd that we want that all can take part of this momentus occasion. We are in the middle of a pandemic state and due to the Sri Vyasa puja is going to be in the Boy Scouts Club in Chosica we do not know if the internet connection may fail. We were requesting that devotees from different countries record on video sending greetings, something cultural, etc


HpS/ASA - Yes!!


Jambavan has been a great support and also he provides very great ideas. Madhumanjari dd is contributing with some souvenirs. (we can not tell is a surprise)


In the meeting you said that the Sri Vyasa puja may last more than one day. So I was wondering which days? and the time? You said also that all the information will be on the blog. That is why I am writing these queries here


HpS - Vyasapuja is 3rd January, so we could do programs on the 1st and 2nd. Maybe some meetings at Sta Eulalia. Some programs for special groups on line at different times in the day.


Here you have the program:


Vyasa-puja de Su Santidad Srila Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja Gurudeva

lunes 3 enero 2022 (Aparición de Locana dasa Thakura)


Programa



11:00 am Ofrenda de bhoga

ASA - This should go on the same time as the other events but behind a curtain.


11:15 am Bienvenida - Pushpanjali

ASA - Pushpanjali should be at the end, just before Guru-puja. Welcome should be from 11AM to 11.15AM.


11:45 am Guru-puja / kirtana

ASA - This is too long. Should be right after Pushpanjali. 20-minutes. Hari, Hari, Bolo!!!


12:30 pm Significado VP


12:40 pm Biografía SS HpS


12:50 pm Ofrenda SS HpS a Srila Prabhupada


1:00 pm Palabras de las autoridades


1:10 pm Ofrendas verbales de los discípulos (presenciales y videos) 

HpS - Seems to short. Will be 10 people??? We suggested that these be mixed with cultural programs eg. Biography of Narottama Das by Yadu Swami, recorded cultural programs from Mexico etc. Few words from Virabahu Das??


1:30 pm Prasada y maha prasada


2:00 pm Agradecimiento y despedida

This should be after the Guru puja and then some music in the background so that devotees can associate as the want and honor the prasadam packages as they want.

O.K??


There is a shadow theater that lasts 5 minutes and today Divya dristi dd ask if she can present a puppet show and a play (The hunter and the sage) (20 minutes). So I do not know if she can present her offering on January 3rd or on the other three days that you suggested.


HpS - Other day, because it is too long for that day.


I hope that this letter will help to clarify the whole situation about the Sri Vyasa Puja


HpS/ASA - Yes, it does a lot to clarify the whole situation. 🙂 Should be music playing when devotees enter!


  • Kirtan
  • Reception
  • Addresses by disciples, authorities - mixed with cultural programs
  • Puspanjali, Guru-puja, Thanks, Prasadam and informal mixing.


Please I humbly request that you give us your blessings in order to be useful


HpS - I can't give you that!

Hare Krishna!

Please accept my humble obeisances, and all glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Dear Maharaja,


I've made a final decision that I would like to be your disciple. When I cried for a guru, I was lead to you. When I fervently prayed to Srila Prabhupada to be of service, I was lead to you.

Maharaja, if you will accept me, I would like to serve your instructions forever. I am also inspired by HG Mahatma Prabhu, for siksa. He is helping me a lot with chanting better japa. And then I came to the conclusion that this is actually helping me to follow your instructions of enthusiastic rounds.

And by your mercy I am able to go to the full morning program. So it finally dawned on me, that this is everyone working together to serve Srila Prabhupada!

I will take your instructions very seriously and follow them to the best of my ability, one day at a time. Following your instructions makes me look forward to the next day ahead!

Also, I am inspired by HH Tamal Krishna Goswami, HH Kesava Bharati Swami, HH Radhanatha Swami, and HH Sivarama Swami.

Then I remembered you saying you only get one diksa, and have as many siskas as possible. So they are all helping me serve you, if you will accept me.

Plus you have said that we should not wait to serve Srila Prabhupada. I am ready to become your disciple as soon as possible! It's time to leave this world! By spreading the message of Lord Caitanya, of course.

I'm very much looking forward to being a monkey in Houston, and also in Tennessee too! What a great opportunity!

Your aspiring servant

Jason


Jaya Srila Prabhupada!


HpS - !! Hare Krsna... If you have been steady in your Japa, 4-principles, passed the disciple course and have a letter of thumbs-up from Temple President, then yes, you should be initiated. Any Diksa guru in Iskcon is just a little representative of Srila Prabhupada and he may be only a minor Siksa guru to his Diksa disciples. Usually there is a natural concurrence of Diksa guru as a Siksa guru.

So, when we get back to Houston, March 7th, or sooner if don't resolve our visa problem, then we could have initiation ceremony in Houston for Jason and a local couple.

Swaaa Haaa!


What do you do in Krsna Kulture?

Tomorrow is Gita Jayanti!

times in new asoka van

Haré krishna Gurudev pamhr, tlgaSP,dandavats pranams


Krishna nos pone en situaciones distintas en la vida todo el tiempo y todas ellas son un regalo para nuestro aprendizaje constante. podemos ver la misericordia de muchas maneras y aprender a vivir como devotos siguiendo a Srila Prabhupa y los acaryas.


Estamos viviendo con ud. Casi 3 meses en Santa Eulalia en Nueva Asoka van ocupandonos en la adoracion a la deidad, programas online, lectura, limpieza, cocina, colectando frutos, recepción de invitados, etc y somos afortunados porq nada de esto fue planeado pero tenemos Capacidad y Voluntad para servir. Todos tenemos la oportunidad de servir, ud. dice q cada uno de nosotros tiene un papel en este sankirtan, en su servicio y (nadie tiene un papel pequeño en una obra), somos parte de algo tan maravilloso como es el movimiento de sankirtan de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu por lo tanto debemos de sentirnos afortunados desde donde te encuentras. Despues de 5, 10, 20 años tendriamos q haber establecido una relacion con Srila Prabhupada dice ud. y realizo q mi relacion con Prabhupada es atraves de ud. de su asociacion y asi podemos seguir obteniendo la misericordia de todo el param para hasta llegar a Krihsna, es un hecho, no estamos solos no importa si todos se van si abandonan sus cuerpos, estaremos unidos siempre atraves de vani y vapu siguiendo su herencia y legado asi como ud sigue a Prabhupada, Bhakti swarupa Damodara y otros.

Todavia tenemos mucho por hacer la pelicula esta rodandose y aun faltan escenas y lugares por grabar es nuestro deseo seguir ayudandolo en su sankirtan mi esposa Radharani gopi dd vendra en Enero y como comunicadora social podria tambien ayudarlo en todo este proyecto q tenemos.

En las noches cantamos a Tulasi y en un verso de la cancion dice (por favor dame el privilegio de servicio devocional y hazme tu propio sirviente) Este es el deseo de todo aquel q esta comprendiendo el proposito de la vida, servir a los devotos, tomar, refugio y asociacion y hacer la vida un exito.

Estamos Consolidando cosas dice ud. y todos debemos de hacerlo tambien porq la muerte viene con el cuerpo y es un buen amigo para el devoto, no tenemos miedo porq ser libre de la naturaleza material es el paso para la verdadera vida, sin embargo en esta practica espiritual es fundamental cerrar círculos y Consolidar, consolidarnos cono devotos para volver a casa a Goloka Vrindavan.


Hare krishna Gurudev y gracias..!

I will do (Hare) Krishna, Gurudev pamhr, tlgaSP, dandavats pranams

Krishna puts us in different situations in life all the time and all of them are a gift for our constant learning. We can see mercy in many ways and learn to live as devotees by following Srila Prabhupa and the acaryas.

We are living with you. Almost 3 months in Santa Eulalia in Nueva Asoka we are busy worshiping the deity, online programs, reading, cleaning, cooking, collecting fruits, receiving guests, etc. and we are fortunate because none of this was planned but we have the Capacity and Will to to serve. We all have the opportunity to serve, you. He says that each of us has a role in this sankirtan, in its service and (no one has a small role in a work), we are part of something as wonderful as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's sankirtan movement therefore we must feel ourselves lucky from where you are. After 5, 10, 20 years we should have established a relationship with Srila Prabhupada, you say. and I realize that my relationship with Prabhupada is through you. of their association and so we can continue to obtain the mercy of all the param until we reach Krihsna, it is a fact, we are not alone it does not matter if everyone leaves if they abandon their bodies, we will always be united through vani and vapu following their inheritance and legacy just like you follow Prabhupada, Bhakti swarupa Damodara and others.

We still have a lot to do, the film is being shot and there are still scenes and places to shoot, it is our desire to continue helping him in his sankirtan. My wife Radharani gopi dd will come in January and as a social communicator she could also help him in all this project that we have.

At night we sing to Tulasi and in a verse of the song it says (please give me the privilege of devotional service and make me your own servant) This is the desire of everyone who is understanding the purpose of life, to serve the devotees, take refuge and association and make life a success.

We are consolidating things, you say. and we must all do it too because death comes with the body and is a good friend for the devotee, we are not afraid because being free from material nature is the step to true life, however in this spiritual practice it is essential to close circles and Consolidate, consolidate ourselves as devotees to return home to Goloka Vrindavan.

Hare Krishna Gurudev and thank you ..!


HpS - Thank you. AgtSP. paoho. We see your good self, all the devotees in New Ashoka van... and we think that they are so much more advanced than we were at their age!!

It make us smile.

How nice, sincere... !! are the devotees. All we can do it so try to do something. Make our best effort to do something useful and intelligent, and the success depends on Krsna and also... the sincerity of the audience, no?

We hope that our Visa situation gets adjusted and Radharani and your child can visit. That would be very nice. Yet, it is very nice to see her name in the list of participants each night online!!!
