All glories to AC Prabhupada, Srila Swarupa Damodar Swami Maharaja.

Radha Krishna ki Jay, Gours Nitya ki Jay, Gourabhakta Vrinda ki Jay.

Dandavat Pranam HpS, Guruji Maharaj!

HpS - All glories to Srila Prabhupada. In Nectar of Instruction, Text Five, last paragraph, https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/5/#bb5954 SrilaPrabhupada gives a very nice illumination of Guru Tattva. We are just presenting ourselves as Madhyama adhikari devotees for taking up this role of Diksa guru on behalf of Srila Prabhupada in ISKCON, and requiring that everyone we initiate is accepting Srila Prabhupada as an Uttama adhikari spiritual master.

How is your relationship with Srila Prabhupada? Do you feel his presence in you life, service?

To be a part of ISKCON we need to have that personal experience of his presence in our life, Sankirtan!

Thank you.

Hare Krishna, please accept my humble obeisanses unto Guruji Maharaja's Padma Charan that the CC I am reading is Pabhu Padas English book. Not only that the Manipuri translation of two different writers, they explain vastly.

Yes, in SB/CC is full of stories of devotees achieving success.

"Took two lifetimes and he we Great Devotees" Who are them?

HpS - Did we say something like this is a previous letter? Of course, Maharaja Bharata is an example of someone who took two lifetimes to become perfect devotee, no? I cannot think of another one right now.

Yes just some days back I read the news in the JayaRama.US.

Guruji it is my personal request that I choose my Sakhi Manjari. Actually such names are offered from the Jagat Guru Gouranga Mahapraphu, but today HpS Gurji Maharaja represents Him so please give me the permission to get Yamunesvari Sakhi and Yamuna Manjuri. My sadhana will fruitful if Guruji give me Gurujis Asirbat (anumati). It is the tradition of Manipuri Vaisnavas.

HpS - We discussed some of this before, no? If we look at NoI, Text 7, paragraph starting, "The conclusion is that in order to get freed from..."

https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/7/#bb5984

we see how Srila Prabhupada develops the verse, "Adau sraddha..." by Srila Rupa Goswami in a very nice way.

This is one of the most quoted verses in the Bhakti-rasa-amrta-sindhu. Srila Prabhupada gives the full Sanskrit in the purport to his Bhagavad-gita Text 4.40.

We have to know in which of these levels we find ourselves: Kanistha, Madhyama, Uttama adhikari. As Srila Prabhupada explains, following Lord Chaitanya, our Siddha svarupa becomes manifest when we come to the stage of Bhava. Of course, we can start to follow in the footsteps of a Manjari, or cowherd boy, etc even in the stage of Raga-anuga Bhakti. We see this as beginning in the stage of Ruci.

Here we are liberated by following Vaidhi bhakti and we can stimulate these eternal feelings of Rasa by trying to follow the feelings of a Gopi or Gopa in our service.

For example, when we offer the Raja bhoga to Radha Govinda Chandra in Mani-mandir, we can try to do it with the mood of Mother Yasoda or a cowherd friend of Krsna.

So, are you "Nistha"? Are you fixed in devotional service? Every day up for Kirtan and Mangala arati during Brahma muhurta? Always chanting 16-nice rounds etc? Then you can, will, naturally begin Raganuga Bhakti, but your real Siddha svarupa will only become fully manifest when you progress to the stage of Bhava bhakti, and it does not have to be a Manjari. We me become like Krsna's garland or his flute. All this is basically explained in the NoI, and then by reading Srila Prabhupadas books like CC, SB, NoD, we become more familiar with the topic.

Naturally, by following Srila Prabhupada, we are following Rupa Goswami. In Vraja lila he is Rupa Manjari, who is serving Lalita sakhi.

Of course, we are following Manipuri tradition through Bhakti svarupa Damodara Goswami and how he accepted its different aspects, and put aside some others.

Please discuss Srila Prabhupada's Parampara instructions from Lord Chaitanya with Haridas Goswami. He knows the Manipuri perspective very well, no? Ask him what he understands about this topic and then have him send a copy of his thoughts to us.

That will be very great service.

I do not remember in CC where Lord Caitanya gives Manjari names to anyone?

Waiting to hear from you and Maharaja. It is certain that if you just go on chanting sixteen enthusiastic rounds while following the four principles under Srila Prabhupada's authority you will come to the platform of Maha bhagavata and you eternal relation and body with Krsna will become manifest again.

Once again Dangavat Prana.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das.

Good night!

Keep Krsna in your sight.

Yesterday we were exhausted, so we rested half the day.

Today we have some energy and used it all the way.

Now at half past eight we have Blog posts and Whatsapp, Oh so great, but we will turn off our brains and rest so we don't become fodder for the cemetery crate.

🙂

Hari bolo!

Good night.

Let us hide in the shade of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet and be sure: https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/9/22/

Maharaj we want to take your Darshana..

Please let me know what time is good for us to meet you..

Your aspiring servant

HpS - ASA: AgtSP! Thank you Mataji, Prabhu et al. We are just getting our selves settled.

Yesterday, Thursday, we were so exhausted from the packing, toe injury, travel obstacles that all we took a lot of rest with our elevated toe.

4.38PM - Friday, things are getting a little clearer.

Of course, we would like to see you also!

We will attend the Temple morning program until 6.45AM daily and come back for some of classe, but we will join other SB programs on some days.

Devotees have come from Dallas with some publishing projects to do.

Of course, we are organizing our work with Hari-lila Das et al, and Gopinatha Das.

Caitanya and Subra are like our hosts, so we can begin to get a more final schedule through this weekend.

We will be here all next week and leave on Saturday.

You can see our Temple classes listed on line and our ASA News, Kapi Dhvaja with its own calendar goes out on day.

Please just post letters etc here, then we can deal with them. Whatsapp and phone texts are difficult to handle except for ntoice of URGENT texts posted here or some private details.

Of course, since we are Sannyasis and Bćaris here it is necessary that whatsapp, text, messages pass with the association of a nice father-husband-son.

Thank you!!

It is so nice to hear from you all!  🌻 🙂

Hare Krsna!!

AgtSP

paoho.

Our eyes are really strained. We see so many letters we would like to read, but it is 8.51PM on Radha astami and our body is finished. We opened several and glanced at them. Very important. Interesting, but no strength here. If we just chant Hare Krsna at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada we will get all knowledge what to do, who to be, no?

We have been working to pack for six months in a small town in Peru. We can take our under-the-set bag and two suitcases of 50-pounds each.

• What should we take?
• What is the essence of our office here?
• What will we be doing there?
• What things can we get there?
• What things will get dried out if we do not take them?
• How can we pack everything safely and efficiently?
• How much do the cases weigh now?
• Where can we even get good suitcases????

Ooo!

Listened to very nice class this morning! Very nice. but too weak to comment.

Did the final banking.

Made Radha-Krsna lunch: Two ripe mangos; chopped celery with Mrs. Desai's superexcellent home-made yogurt and fresh walnuts, salt and pepper; boiled split peas; frozen banana puree!

Now hot milk and Krsna book.

Hare Krsna.

Tomorrow we will try to finally close the suitcases, [It was extra big challenge to pack the camera and other valuable things in the cabin bag 🙂] and pack up the auto for six months [we should put the battery on a trickle charger timed to come on for one hour each day].

All glories To Srila Prabhupada

Jay Jay Sri Guru and Gouranga

Dandavat Pranam Dear GuruDeva

I beg your pardon for not writing so often, although I meditate on his lotus feet daily.

I am praying that his health is good and allows him to continue in his mission of preaching with all the enthusiasm of all time.

Since the beginning of the pamdemic we keep with Majulali (Manjuali) DD in the distribution of Prasadam in various ways daily lunches, cakes and bakery, my mother helps us with some things when she can.

The music: The presentations were almost nil, now she is reactivated a little, but, everything is still very slow, I have

I recorded some Vaishnava songs in video format to keep me somewhat active.

The service: In the temple very little since it is going through different times, although at home I am with daily service

to the deities that my mother, manjulali and I. I will be helping the temple with a very security and emergency plan. necessary in any situation that you need such as controlling a fire, evacuating in case of earthquake, safety in kitchens, pujari room and salons.

Majulali DD: A day ago she took the exam for the initiation, I spent time reinforcing her knowledge and serenity to leave the result in the hands of Krishna, including a series of letters of commitment and declarations.

After everything that happened in our temple, my faith in Krishna consciousness, Srila Prabhupada, you and the devotees

has not changed, I believe that these situations bring us closer to the reality that we live in this material world and increase our desire to stop suffering by following the examples that you give us daily, thank you very much for all your effort and sacrifice for us.

Hoping to be helpful in your mission and putting myself fully at your service, your servant
