All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to your Sankirtan Guru Maharaja!

I begin this report by thanking you for your enormous effort to keep you informed of your sankirtan and classes on a daily basis, although it is true there are times that I cannot connect, hours later I can listen to your classes that are already recorded, and also for the monthly Kapi Dhavaja.

HpS - Thank you very much. Sometimes we wonder if our efforts are of much value. 🙄

I think from the first moment you have been the inspiration and clearest example.

HpS - We just finished talking with Virabahu Das. He has been very big inspiration for us.

It has been a while since my last report and I apologize for this.

ASA - 👹

I hope soon you can go to the ophthalmologist with the company of a devotee to check your eyesight, we need your healthy vision.

HpS - Tomorrow, Janmastami, we will go to see a dermatologist. We will be investigating 'skin disease' on Janmastami. 😁

My family is in very good health, the Lord always protects them. My mother is also an example of devotion and perseverance, she sings the rosary whenever she can, she tells me that every time she prays the Lord and the Virgin always listen to her, she is very devoted to the Virgin and dedicated.

This last time if I have dreamed of my father, this dream always repeats itself, he says goodbye and he looks good, in that hug I can even feel the aroma of him, I miss him a lot, but I know that his soul is fine.

ASA - 😌

Now I continue to tell you a little about what I have done lately, together with Lalita we continue to distribute Prasadam, this service never ends, I think that people will always have the desire to eat and even more when they taste food offered to the Lord.

ASA - Krsna consciousness means good food and good music. Engage them also in distributing and chanting.

I tell you that a few days ago the Temple President, Prabhu Jaganatha Caran, told me about a possible second emergency initiation which has caused me a bit of confusion on whether to advance in this process or not, since I think that the main thing is to inform you and I would like to study and dedicate the time as it should, to prepare myself in the best way and to be with the necessary qualifications for the due attention of your honorable Members and not to commit offense at such a great step, I imagine that times are changing and everything perhaps it becomes more flexible.

I have been studying the Vedic texts as much as possible to give a good test, but I made the decision that I want to prepare myself much more and if you approve it, in the not so distant future, you will give me that enormous mercy.

HpS - I don't think it is such an emergency in some ways. I think you are quite qualified. Srimat Virabahu Das mentions that they have interviewed the candidates in terms of chanting their 16-enthusiastic rounds and following the 4-principles strictly.

He also mentioned that you and Sriman Lalita-madhava Das have not been formally married and are not living together.

I thought you were married and were living together.

It is good that we have several devotees to guide us in spiritual life. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Like him, and probably a lot of others, and even yourselves, it seems you should make the superhuman effort of dealing with the national bureaucracy and formalize your relationship.

Considering all the things we know, it seems that it would be nice for you to take second initiation with the fire sacrifice on Wednesday.

For Pujaris we do not demand the Bh. Sastri course, but of course it is nice.

I think you already took the Disciple Course, no?

If not, then our GBC Secretary, Virabahu Das, assures me that this is what would make it an 'emergency initiation' but it is alright if you commit yourself to take the course as soon as possible. I hear that it is nice, a little formal, but satisfying.

Eternally at your service and waiting to be more and more qualified.

Manjulali [Manjuali] Devi Dasi

HpS - Please tell The Lalita-Madhava Das to drop us a line also! We will be in your neighborhood in just a few weeks. Good food and good music, and learn the stories from the SB, CC etc. Then you can put them into modern language as the situation requires.



With the association of Lalita or other gentleman we can talk with telephone, whatsapp if you like. Just send you contact number here. We will not publish it.

8.47PM

Chant Hare Krsna.

Such a long day!

We forgot to set our alarm so we woke up one moment before Jambavan Das at 4AM and then just had time to wash our face, hands, mouth and feet before Mangala arati.... full bath and take JD to the bus stop.

Good bye. His association was so inspiring. He has been in 58-different countries. We talked a lot about general and specific aspects of devotional service, his service.

Tandavika Das may come tomorrow.

It is hot here.

We just keep one little room inhabital during the day. We are trying to be a part of the big currents of Sankirtan that Srila Prabhupada's movement is moving around us.

So, many opportunities for Sankirtan!!!

Hari Kirtan is good for liberation and then for guiding us in improving our contribution to Krsna's great efforts.

🙂 🙂 🙂🙂 🙂

Hare Krishna Gurudeva.

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you are in good health.

HpS-ASA -- AGTSP!!! paoho. We are just like you, no? Out vehicle, tool, robot is getting old and all the functions are decaying. This happens again, and again, and again...

and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,

I write you this letter in order to inform you about our Asram. M. Gauri has a good health on [in] general, with some little age-related ailments. She's staying with us. We're living in Chaclacayo, near to Chosica, since a month ago.

ASA - Chocolate Cow! We know it. Prof. Anadi and Dharma used to live there. Bhadra rupa Das.

We moved to this place due to some building problems. We hope to stay for a couple of months more until we sell our old apartment. Rukmini and Devahuti have been on virtual classes during all the pandemic and they will probably continue until next year. We have an altar at home.

We always try to keep our sadhana in association with you and the devotees through FMP.

HpS/ASA - 😟 We are so sad that it is not nicer!! Your attendance is very awe inspiring.

Once a week, I go to Chosica Temple and I do some service in pujari's kitchen. By your infinite mercy, we are in this service for more than 6 months. We're always trying to keep in touch with your virtual classes and sharing experiencies and questions with some godsisters and godbrothers.

Since the beginning of this year we have a little dog, her name is Catalina Shakti, but we call her Caty. We're very happy with her because she's naturally a vegan dog. Her vet said she's very healthy and has a good weight. She loves listening the Maha Mantra when we connect to FMP.

Dear Gurudeva, we hope to keep in touch with you and informing you about our activities. Please, we beg you for your blessings to stay always in service of Radha Krishna, Gaura Nitay and Guru Krishna, also to have a better understanding of this espiritual science and experience trascendental realizations. Thanks a lot for all your effort and your infinite mercy to all of us.

May Nrisimhadeva always protects you.

Trying to serve,

Tarangaksi Devi Dasi

HpS - We heard that Nimai had a puppy, and for sure Krsna has two dogs. One is

BIG

and very ferocious to guard the calves and cows from wolves, and the other is a house dog. We hope Rukmini Devi Das is growing up a very valiant lady like Draupadi, Visnu priya, Kunti et al. The Dalai Lama says that we should live a good life, so that when we are old we can remember it and enjoy it for a second time!

Also, so others will say: Ah, look at Rukmini Devi Dasi, she is an example for all of us. She takes whatever Life sends her and makes it beautiful.

Respected Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to your unmotivated and uninterrupted service.

I am striving to maintain my commitment to waking up at 4 AM, attending Mangala Arati, listening to SB and BG classes, reading Srila Prabhupada's books, and bathing Gaura Nitai daily.

ASA/TomBrown-Buck White-HpS - So are we! If it were not for the sincere association of devotees that attend the online program we might not be able to do it! 😲

I have also been reading from Memories, Dreams, and Reflections. Through various case studies, Jung repeatedly demonstrates that there is some meaning and sense behind the behavior of the psychologically ill. That meaning can be unearthed by analyzing the patient's life experiences, the patient's individual unconscious, and the collective unconscious. As I read the stories of Jung's many patients, I often remember how you say something to the effect that insanity is a sane reaction to an insane situation.

While outlining the development of his intellectual methods, in which dream analysis is paramount, Jung describes his connection with Sigmund Freud. He delineates their intellectual disagreements concerning the repression mechanism and the resulting break in their relationship. In the course of this description, Jung regularly asserted that he "was concerned with investigating the truth, not with questions of personal prestige," and therefore decided to distance himself from Freud (158).

Currently, I am reading about Jung's encounter with his individual unconscious (which, in his view, encompassed elements like Philemon, ka, and the anima). In this section, Jung makes some very interesting and explicit connections to the Vedic tradition. I was especially intrigued by his fascination with the guru.

Thank you very much, Guru Maharaja.

Your humble servant,

Sugopi Radha Devi dasi

HpS - Thank you so much. Maybe we can all join in the discussion with Sony Shamdasini in September. He sat in Jung's chair in his library. 😁

The most wonderful thing in the world is to have some deep experience of Lord Chaitanya's world and then to find someone who can appreciate it.

It is so, so enlivening to read your cogent comments on Memories, Dreams and Reflections.

We hope your Sankirtan at Yale and your whole personal atmosphere develop very nicely.

There are no smaller tests for girls, no?

Draupadi was every bit as big a hero as Arjuna, no?

Such happy looking Gaura Nitai. So clean and bright.

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Estamos meditando en los servicios para los festivales y pensamos en lo que podemos ofrecer a Srila Prabhupada por su Vyasa-puja, pero únicamente podemos llegar a él a través de su servicio y glorificación por ello le pedimos favor podría si compartirnos su ofrenda de Vyasa-puja 2021 para nuestro Fundador Acarya, cada año se lee en el templo.

Le envío algunas fotos de nuestro servicio para Sri Balarama Purnima. Nuestra salud no estuvo bien sin embargo con ayuda de algunas matajis jóvenes en la vida espiritual que llegaron inesperadamente se pudo lograr, entonces pensamos que eran como las gopis de Sri Balarama bailando en el humor de aprender, recordamos que Usted nos dice que Balarama baila como profesor, no para disfrutarlas sino para enseñarles a bailar con Krsna.

Muchas gracias por sus enseñanzas y misericordia.

Su eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd

HpS - ASA --- TlgaSP. No dudas dejar su cuerpo si no funciona bien para su servicio. En la proxima cuerpo vas a ser capaz servir a sus amigos en ISKCON, sus bien inclinados familiares, todos, mejor. 🙂

Pero... si Krsna das tu facilidada servir El y Su amiga Radha en esta mundo, O.K. Sea enthusiasta con los heramientos que El da, no?

Pienso eso es nuestra ofrenda al libro de Vyasapuja.

"Your Divine Grace, Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, Prabhupada,

Please accept our obeisances at you lotus feet.

You and your ambience are Vrndavana Dhama, but we intrude our conditioned nature into your presence. It is only by your austerity of continually giving us your inspiration and guidance that we have, and are continuing to advance.

Thank you.

Our only business is to surrender more and more to the chanting the Holy Names: ... vidya vadu jivanam... from Their Sankirtan comes all the knowledge we need in our hearts and intelligence to be useful servants in your Sankirtan party.

When we are connected, chanting good rounds early, then so many, many, wonderful things are possible.

The most wonderful is to be connected with the other individual actors in your big mrdanga.

Thank you.

All glories to you and all the assembled devotees.

Your very tiny servants,

Hanumatpresaka Swami
