It is short. We watched it.

To us the venerable speaker is expressing a position we have been delightd to contact with some frequency.

One local Jewish professor expressed to us that most Jewish people believe that God is a person, but He is so great that we can never catch up with Him.

We can follow His footprints.

We can see His hand in things, but He is so great that we can never catch up.

This would be Paramatma-Vada as we understand:

The presenter here seems to fall more within the Bhagavata analysis of Brahman than Paramatma. It is like BG Chapter 10, no? Vibhuti mat sattva.

If our analysis is correct then our suggestion to her and people in her position would be:

Of course, these are general observations. After just a 4-minute video it is hard have a very personal appreciation of anyone.

Hare Krsna // Hare Rama.



hare krsna

Gurudeva por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Intentando ayudarlo en su sankirtan continuamos atendiendo a nuestras señorias Goura Nitay en casa desde mangalartik, yapa, SB y estamos dando prasadam a travez de Vrindavan House (fast food vegan) asi nos hemos mantenido durante la pandemia.

Algunos fines de semana vamos al templo.

Guru Maharaja recibi una invitación para ir de cocinero en el restaurante Govinda de New Vrindavan EEUU por un periodo de 6 meses y me piden que presente una confirmacion hecha por mi Guru dando a conocer que si estoy iniciado y 2da iniciación.

Disculpe que lo moleste con temas como este.

Pero intentare ir si krsna asi lo desea se realizara.

Su eterno sirviente Rkd desde Paraguay

HpS-ASA - AGTSP!! Paoho...... We just got to this letter. I cam three days ago, and we also read your other letter labeled "Urgent" with same theme. Thank you for your determination. It is not a molestation.

"Rohini-kumara Das, Raul Ramirez Flores, 28 Feb 1986, 16 Aug 2006", this is you, no? Did you take second initiation? No, record of it, but our records are not perfect.

Hare Krsna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP,

We were struggling with our physical body, slept 14= 6+4+4 in 16 hours.. On Gaura Purnima, just did evening program. Then prayed to Lord Gauranga for help.

he gave this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhJnnwoM60o

Hanuman Goes to Lanka from ASA Audiovisual.

We pasted pictures of different stages/poses in our room. It helps us to do some practical exercise.

ASA - Harsh goes to Lanka!

Harsh Pradhan's mind like the Character of Rambo played in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambo_III. Renunciant, yet selfless fighter. He fought alone to release prisoner in Russia captured fort. We have meditated on this character a lot.

ASA - Rama (Bol)?

Then the flash came , what Rambo did was reflection what Hanuman ji did when he went to Lanka. WoW. WoW.

Everything here is a reflection of Goloka, no?

HAN-u-MAN, went to Lanka, found sita, then went for full-on attack.

We heard many times from your lips of allegory/metaphor of Hanuman finding Sita (devotional activity) in the living entity, who is caged in inside demoniac army of mind, ego and conditioning. Hanuman Ji does not go for front on battle, but in stealth mode to interact with Sita, without any demon (ego and mind ) know it.

HpS - Then he decides to come out after his mission is accomplished and wreak a little havoc.

Senyor, for the Sake of the world, can you expand on the allegory of Hanuman goes to Lanka?

For a preacher, sometimes he becomes small to evade the Doorman (who are they in Human body), sometime he fights with Lankani the gatekeeper etc.

It will be nice meditation for us at least, who have archetypes of war movies. So why not be Spy like a Hanuman and Warrior like Hanuman.

May be there should a web-page: hps.monkeyespionage.com or hps.monkeyspy.com.

Monkey salute,

please accept a Banana

Material world movies are reflection only

HpS - We've heard that Srila Prabhupada told George Harrison that he could write songs based upon those of Bh. Vinode Thakura. He said, BVT says that life is unstable like a drop of water on the leaf of a lotus flower and you can say that it is unstable like a drop of water on the leaf of a ROSE!

So, modernizing the analogies, pastimes, is universal, no?

We've done it to some degree with the Sundara Khanda.

It seems we can consolidate some of these ideas in our DTC-UT World Classical Literature, which we are doing, now.

Sunday we will give a class for ISKCON Houston. Maybe we could do it then. We will meditate on your illuminations and try to do the proper thing!!

Hanuman goes to Lanka.

Another letter. Let's go:>>>

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva!!!!!!!!!!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to YOU.

Please accept our humble family obeisances.

Sadhana and worship are going ok. However, we need to be more fixed.

We (our family) hope someday we can be a useful tool to help You in your sankirtan and Srila Prabhupada's

Thanks a lot

EDT (Patrak das & Antuanette )

Hare Krsna!

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO!

All glories to your service to Srila Prabhupada!

Here I briefly present my Sadhana family report:

This year has meant many challenges for us and by the mercy of Guru and Krsna it has also served to get to know us better.

We have felt Krsna's protection in different ways and we are also learning how to be aware of Krsna's blessings.

1.-We make the effort to meditate on Krsna although we have had ups and downs with attending Mangala arati (this year this aspect will be improved).

2.-Sarasvati and Rajani keep their Sadhana which includes chanting 13 and 12 rounds, they attend to the deities and also take care of tulasi. They have a very curious nature, they like to learn different things.

HpS - ASA --- They don't sound like girls, they sound like Angels!

3.-Regarding other service activities: Abhinanda has helped some devotees in different services as design and correction text etc, both he and I also collaborate in some areas of ASA Mex. For my part, at the beginning of the year, I performed the service of giving the IBY course (Introduction to Bhakti yoga) for the Chosica temple, and now I perform the service of giving 1 class a month of BG for the Shakti Center (which is in charge of Jaya laksmi and Jagad pavitram d) and I collaborate in the organization of the SB classes on Mondays for the devotees.

There were few opportunities but some Prasadam and some books were distributed.

4.-At the beginning of the year I took the TTC 3 course with Parampadam p.

I do not want to exhaust your sight or your time with things we did or did not do, I describe some activities as a reference.

The most important and valuable thing that I can rescue from this year is that thanks to devotees like you, consecrated to Srila Prabhupada, today I appreciate more the Srimad Bhagavatam, Abhinanda the Bhagavad gita and the girls the Krsna book.

I feel that my Diksa guru is the wonderful person who opened the way for me to Krishna Consciousness and my siksa gurus like you are the wonderful people who are sharpening and deepening my consciousness. Together you are all the blessing of Krishna to me.

HpS - We are sad not to hear about, from, Maharaja for long time!!

Please forgive any offense.

Sri Nrsimhadeva protect you

With much appreciation and affection.

Isvari R dd

Note: Later I will send a report on the program of the SB classes on Monday.

HpS - Thank you for your work with the Monday ASA classes. They are very nice. It is so nice getting ladys like Laksmi mauni Devi Dasi et al to give classes also.

We also need to include some classes, presentation by the kids.

First we become KC all the time. Then all the time intensely. Then all the time, intensely and all inclusive. Wherever we turn we see KRSNA and His Service with such important things to do!!

Become self-realized, build your character and preach.

Respects to everyone.

NitayGouraPremanande!!!

querido y siempre recordado Gurudev, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias!

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!

En este maravilloso dia su Sri Vyasapuja, por favor permitame Glorificarlo y expresarle mi mayor agradecimiento por su infinita Bondad y Compasión!!

Apesar de que su ser desea con ansias volver con Dios, esta dedicado humildemente al amoroso servicio de su amado maestro espiritual Srila Prabhupada,sin esperar nada a cambio, otorgando compasivamente a las almas caídas la oportunidad de retomar su Conciencia de Dios, atravez de su Sankirtan!! ud. representa fielmente las caracteristicas citadas en los Sastras que dice: " el devoto puro vive siempre en los pasatiempos del Señor Krishna, por tal estado unico de Conciencia, la atmosfera material no le es un impedimento para continuar propagando Conciencia de Krishna en cualquier circunstancia" por tal motivo, nosotros sus discipulos estamos eternamente agradecidos por tanta inspiración en nuestras vidas!!!

Ud. es el Alma afortunada que ya tiene la Felicidad en sus manos pues está en contacto con Krishna dia a dia, las 24 horas, y al cual Krishna le ha regalado su hermosa Sonrisa, asi Prabhupada en sus significados del SB1.11.10 dice: " las entidades vivientes que son partes moleculares del espirítu total estan separadas del señor por la cobertura artificial que ofrece Maya la energía ilusoria, esa energía ilusoria o la cortina de maya tene que ser removida, una vez que se haya hecho la entidad viviente puede ver a Krishna cara a cara y todos sus sufrimientos se disipan de inmediato" ud. con su ejemplo personal nos demuestra que esto es cierto y nos tiende la mano generosa para que nosotros tambien dejemos de sufrir las miserias de éste mundo material, Eternamente agradecida a Sri Krishna por haberme dado la misericordia tan grande de que ud. sea mi Maestro Espiritual!!! .... Amado Gurudev, que Krishna le siga otorgando muchos años mas de vida junto a nosotros!!! lo necesitamos,y, lo amamos eternamente..... Sri Vyasapuja de s.s. HanumatPresaka Swami, ki,jay!!!!

su inútil y torpe sirvienta

Nitay Goura Premanande !!!

Dear and always remembered Gurudev, please accept my humble obeisances!

ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA !!!

On this wonderful day your Sri Vyasapuja, please allow me to Glorify you and express my greatest thanks for your infinite Kindness and Compassion!!

HpS - Again, we just feel like a lusty, hypocrite that Srila Prabhupada by his infinite mercy has been able to use a little bit. AGTSP! We will read your words as glorification of Srila Prabhupada, Vaisnava and maybe a little bit of our effort!!

Although your being longs to return to God, you are humbly dedicated to the loving service of your beloved spiritual master Srila Prabhupada, expecting nothing in return, compassionately granting fallen souls the opportunity to regain their God Consciousness, through his Sankirtan!!

You, faithfully represents the characteristics cited in the Sastras that says: "The pure devotee always lives in the pastimes of Lord Krishna, for such a unique state of Consciousness, the material atmosphere is not an impediment to continue propagating Krishna Consciousness in any circumstance" for For this reason, we his disciples are eternally grateful for so much inspiration in our lives !!!

You are the lucky Soul who already has Happiness in your hands because you are in contact with Krishna day by day, 24 hours a day, and to whom Krishna has given his beautiful Smile. So Prabhupada in his meanings of SB1.11.10 says: "The living entities that are molecular parts of the total spirit are separated from the Lord by the artificial covering that Maya offers the illusory energy, that illusory energy or the curtain of Maya has to be removed, once the living entity has been made free he can see to Krishna face to face and all his sufferings are immediately dissipated".

Your personal example shows us that this is true and extends a generous hand so that we too stop suffering the miseries of this material world,

Eternally grateful to Sri Krishna for having given me such great mercy that you. be my Spiritual Master!!! .... Beloved Gurudev.

May Krishna continue to grant you many more years of life with us!!!

We need your association and we love you eternally .....

Sri Vyasapuja of S.S. HanumatPresaka Swami, ki, jay !!!!

His useless and clumsy servant

M. Jambavati D.D.

HpS - ASA - Thank you. We remember the audio-book we did with Oscar Natars of your life and Sankirtan experiences. I hope that Ambarisa Das and Vrsabhanu nandinid Devi Dasi can put it on our ASA Audio Visual channel on Youtube. We feel very inadequate in any capacity as you guru, but we hope that by your mercy you can take whatever service we can squeeze out of our life and include it in your Sankirtan.

Respects to you Papa.

Please try to keep in touch with the devotees in Peru and work out some practical arrangements with them.

Krsna can arrange for us to meet whomever He wants.

He can meet with us and smile at us at any time.

Work. Work. Work. That is all we ask for, no? Just a little work in Goloka, Nabadvipa, Lord Nityananda's Traveling Sankirtan Circus.
