Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja.

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Maharaja, when I called you I could not leave a voice message for some reason. The Boise temple council and other devotees have asked me to call you and see if you are indeed planning to visit in August. There are a handful of new western devotees that would very much appreciate your in person classes and all of the devotees you know here are eager to see you.

I am confident that we can put together some nice home programs, temple programs and possibly an outreach program. We are ready to send you funds so you can buy your plane ticket. Please let us know what we can do.

Bhakta Reilly is living at the temple now and knows you from many years ago. I believe he was aspiring to take initiation from you at one point. He is on a break from his military duties and has been doing so much service at the temple, attending Mangala-arati and chanting consistent rounds. Working his way up. He is teaching me a lot about humility and service attitude.

We have started a new weekly program in Hari Nam park called Chi Gong and Kirtan. Bhakta Sparkle leads a nice Chi Gong exercise then we serve light PrasdaASm (tea and popcorn usually) then we have Kirtan with western instruments followed by a group Japa meditation. It’s a great entry level program it seems. Please give us your blessings for this.

ASA - Great! Great! You can even make the popcorn salty and then charge for the tea. ()

Also, do you have flags? Stick 'em in the ground and you got a carnival tent!

Altar.

Thank you for the link to Mahabharata and the link to BG verse. It seems like we have a long way to go before second initiation.

HpS - Basically it is this getting up early. It is a habit and that proves very happy and beneficial. Then you will keep it.

Also, thank you for the link to Janis Joplin interview. Pretty fascinating and funny to me on many personal levels. I was inspired by her urgency and the jadedness for the material world. Fame does not seem pleasant.

Very much enjoyed your class on Jayananda Prabhus disappearance. His pastimes told by you are like pure nectar to our ears. So inspiring and emotional.

Thank you Maharaja. Please instruct me.

Your aspiring servant,

-Nitisara das

ASA - We cawl-ed u thrice, but heard no mice. so we will buy tick-ettes [little ticks] to fly to Boise be Gin Ning Aww! Gust!!!

Awww!!! Gusts!!!! 😎

Dear Gurudev,

 Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. 

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru parampara.

 Gurudev, i always inspire from your 'Vairagya' bhava. It attract

 me a lot. This bhava means you are not attracted towards material

 elements and you are completely attracted to spiritual elements only.

HpS - https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/4/12/ ... You are like Lord Siva.

 I recovered from Co-vid. Resumed work but not started temple seva yet.

HpS - Interesting. Maybe you were supposed to die and go for some service in Goloka, organizing all the grain storage data??

We really like your news!

The Temples in Pune.

Next another disease, no?

You had to fight it! Good man.

 Planning to shift home town for a year as it will take time to normal

 life in Pune. Coordinating with Mover & Packers. will update you again.

HpS - News from the world of men!!

Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - A book bag, a bucket, a blanket and beads, these will satisfy all of your spiritual needs!!! 🙂

Hare Krsna Maharaja and ASA team.

PAMHO AGTSP!.

Please receive my obeisances and greetings and I hope the whole team is doing well.

I inform you that tomorrow, Monday, May 31, I will give the class of Srimad Bhagavatam,(3.14.20-21) Radhika dd, disciple of SS Hrdayananda Goswami. The devotee is from ISKCON-Mexico.

With appreciation and respect

ys Isvari R dd

HpS Next WeeK???

Bhadra devi dasi from RADHA DESA? Yadunanda SWAMI followers, associates?

Dear Hanumat Presak Swami Maharaja,

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

I have not written to your Blog for a long time.

HpS - AGTSP!! Whenever I walk along the bank of a river and forest I think of you and your movie! Not a long time for Brahma.

But this does not represent how much I think of you. Not a day goes by—rarely even moments go by—that I am not remembering your lessons, kindness and mercy, in some way shape or form.

TB - Hmmm! Maybe you are mad!

On the subtle level, you caught my heart. I feel very close. But now I am angry and curse this damn pandemic consciousness because physically the separation is becoming unbearable. Our border is apparently blocked until at least mid 2022. They say separation makes the heart grow fonder.

Krishna plays like that too. The Gopis curse Lord Brahma for making eyelids blink. I have to accept it and pray that we do get a reunion before the year strikes 2025. Regardless, we will follow you to the next universe.

Please allow me to update some of our activities:

Recently I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts with Distinction majoring in Philosophy and Cultural Anthropology.

HpS - Jaya!!! Fireworks attached. The house painter who became a cave art reader!

# * * ! ! *

I cannot thank you enough for pointing me towards Anthropology. All things considered; it was the sweet spot for my sankirtan that I was unaware of before our discussion on the plane from Arequipa to Lima 2018. This is a testament to your qualification as guru. You could see the appropriate path for me. I am eternally indebted to you for your suggestion to improve my devotion service.

HpS - Now you can have a monkey and not feel guilty.

My graduation ceremony was held in Victoria. My wife and I visited Dr Mabbett and his wife Jaccy at their home in the mountains, where we shared some friendly exchanges and some fond memories of you. He has fully retired now and is working on his biography.

HpS - Super!! I'll send the link to this letter to your esteemed guide, Professor Samaresha Bandyopadhyay! I feel that Prof. Mabbett is always welcome on magic carpet.

Currently, I am pursuing a Masters of Teaching degree, with teaching areas English and Mathematics, which will allow me to teach in high schools and eventually universities, anywhere in the world. If I cannot find a good school, I may build my own—Krishna willing. My father and I sometimes discuss an alternative Gaudiya Vaisnava school based in Mayapur.

I am too blind to see the future. But I am willing to give my life to Krishna regardless. That I can guarantee. He has already taken it. There is no other option. I just hold on and try to develop a good attitude. He always empowers me, and then He outdoes and overwhelms me.

Speaking of alternative schools, we took our daughter, Suryani, out of the local gurukula and put her in a local Steiner school because, although she was academically a top student in her class, her colours, her enthusiasm for life, were fading away.

I would be happy to share my observations of the professional, pedagogical, sociological and spiritual issues we encountered at the local gurukula in a future post if you are interested.

I was fortunate enough to do some sashtric teaching there last year and found there to be quite a few issues. I have very little experience in the field as a teacher, so I do not know exactly how to help just yet.

For now, we it is our duty to protect her. Fortunately for our daughter, two other top students followed her from the gurukula to the Steiner school where their vaisnava spiritual backgrounds are well admired and respected; they are already on sankirtan.

And, she got her colours back. Also very fortunately do us and her, she has a natural interest in devotional service. I believe she gets that from her mother. Every weekend we take her to the temple for morning program and she does different services in Radha Krishna’s paraphernalia room, getting invaluable impressions and blessings.

HpS - She must be a young lady now. Soon you will be "Old Grandpa Dhruva!". 😁

Our younger daughter, Sarasvati, is developing good qualities rapidly, absorbing the activities of the rest of her family.

My in laws are turning back the clock with regulated lifestyle, Seva and mantra.

My better half, your good disciple, Dhanesvari DD, has recently launched our new family business of lady’s and girl’s fashion dresses; block printed and stitched in Jaipur India. So far, dresses have been purchased and shipped, generating a nice atmosphere and income in the home.

Krishna is very kind to us.

All glories to you Maharaja; always inspiring and guiding devotees around the world in Krishna Consciousness. We pray we can meet with you in person again soon.

Your servant

Dhruvananda Das

Hare Krishna Grudeva

Por favor acepte mi humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Quiero preguntarle, si es que usted me permite tomar la guía formal, siksa, de Su Santidad Yadunandana Swami.

HpS - AGTSP. Jayapataka Swami has some more formal structure in his relations with other siksa gurus and his disciples. I don't look at it in such formal way.

Anyone one who enlivens us en devotional service by citing from the presious acharyas or relevant scriptures is a Siksa guru.

The teach according to their level and natue.

O.K.?

I think you will be very well situated to accept Yadunandana Swami and Srila Prabhupada as tow of your Siksa gurus and me as one who has initiated you according to the scriptures. Annual report. Siksa and sisya naturally with FMP etc. etc.

Hace ya un tiempo que tenemos una comunicación de manera online y siento mucha inclinación por su prédica. Creo que el puede guiarme, para así seguir sirviendo las instrucciones que usted me ha entregado y las que nos ha dejado Srila Prabupada.

Espero su respuesta.

Su pequeño sirviente
