Letters to the editor

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Guru Maharaj .

Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet. We miss darshan of those sweet, sweet, lotus feet.

HpS - In our spiritual forms we all have lotus feet (or lotus hooves etc), no?

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaj,

Thank you for the Japa Joe sessions, they are so enlightening, inspiring and spiritually healing.

Badly sprained the right hand, but fortunate enough to at least chant painfully. Went to Nabadwip in the beginning of Kartik.

HpS - In IN I N credible. Did you see the terror of the Bhattacharys Nimai Pandit and His gang challenging everyone right and left??

On exam duty at Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh, one of the oldest military hospital built by the British in India. After exam duty , we had wonderful, ecstatic kirtan daily . Dibrugarh congregation lead by HG Jadupati Shyam Prabhu is transcendental. In one of the programmes, we were asked to speak on NOI, verse 2 for 10mins. It was indeed Guru Maharaj's mercy that came all the way to my heart. Thank you Guru Maharaj.

HpS - Things and people to avoid!

Back home, we go for house programmes almost daily after our hospital duty. We cover around 4 or 5 houses, kirtan, deepdaan and prasadam. It is a very , very sweet experience....and funny enough, Sri Damodara plays a lot of leela with us...we find His leela soooo sweet.

HpS - Vasanta gi purnima. ooo ooo ooo ... ! Now is Kartika Purnima!!

We try our best to be of some service to our senior devotees. HG Devarshi Prabhu has been kind enough in encouraging me to take up TTC , starting on 15th Nov. We got ourself registered online. Prabhu is also teaching IDC to the congregation members, around 20 of us. Thank you Guru Maharaj for all Your mercy.

Matajis are practicing Vasant raas heart and soul...for Guru Maharaj's offering . Kindly give us Your blessings to serve Guru and Gauranga. We also keep Peru in our heart whenever we think of Vasant raas and Guru Maharaj.

HpS - Be so nice if there can be academic, accredited, regular cultural exchange between Manipur and Peru.

We are reading SB canto 2 in the morning. We continue our evening classes SB canto 4. and followed by Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta .

HpS - Which Chapters, pastimes??

We eagerly wait with our prayers ,for Guru Maharaj's arrival in India....

Sharing some pics ....

Your insignificant servant,

Sarad Gaurangi D D

HpS - Only the very fortunate take birth in Manipur.

We hope we see H. H. B. S. Damodara soon.

HARE KRISHNA MAHARAJA!! Mis reverencias a sus pies de Loto. Me gustaría tomar iniciación con usted. Estoy en conciencia de Krishna desde el año 2008. Sería un honor gigante servirlo eternamente. Mi nombre es Sofía Ariztizabal, de la ciudad de Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Haribol 🙏

HpS - All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Very great honor to meet you.

Patagonia.

Everyting below the equator is Patala loka???



Because we are old and our donkey is lame, we are not doing Diksa, initiation, anymore. We can't handle the Karma from the rituals.

Yet, we are happy to be a Siksa guru for you as we can.

Of course, Srila Prabhupada has never died, he is living in his books and you can have as personal connection with him as anyone ever has had through that media and your sincere efforts to become a servant of Radha Krsna again.

Waking up!

Yadunandana Swami is nice devotee. Diksa guru.

So many.

O.K.???

Do you have good morning program?

PAMHO AGTSP! All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

HK Maharaj! How are you!! I’m so glad to hear that you are well, well hope to see you whenever you come to South America. Do you have any specific dates?

thank you for the verses you always send me, they are of very good help!!

Well here I’m in Buenos Aires, here in Argentina we kinda kidding say that Krishna is everywhere but he has his headquarters in Buenos Aires hahahahahahha because well it’s the financial and political capital city.

I’ve never been so thankful for living here, I have plenty of friends and sportive activities to do, temple, and well over all you breath a sense of friendliness.

You know I’ve been journaling for quite a while, what I do write is my praise to Krishna, I just talk to him, worship him by words, express my own feelings, and many times I feel much more thrilled in that devotional activity, more than with the japa, so that’s why I was asking about spontaneous prayers while chanting japa, sometimes I feel inclined to pray in the “Christian” way whilst chanting the holy name.

Please give us your blessings Maharaj so we can become pure devotees in this very lifetime.

please accepts my obeisances, hope you are always well.

HK!

HpS - Jaya!!!! Thank you. Watch for the exact dates of the Tour here in the Calendar section of this Blog.

Should be 24 February to 24th March. First weeks in Santiago and last week in Lima.

Radha Madana-bihari Ki Jai!

I hope you reread and even edit your Journals.

The world needs lot so Krsna conscious literature.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja

PAMHO - AGTSP

My therapist lowered the dosage of my medication. Thanks to this, I'm getting up earlier without any problems. Before, I had a hard time, even if I went to bed early. It's possible they'll discontinue that medication.

Focusing on preparing for marriage has helped me a lot mentally. It's my nature to have a partner, and I will do everything possible to fulfill my role well within the marriage.

I don't know if it's because of this change in mindset, the withdrawal of medication, or some other reason, but I'm experiencing such a deep connection with Radha and Krishna, especially during the rounds, but also at other times. I feel like I'm entering the spiritual world, I feel peace, joy, and clarity. It's a deep meditation, living in the present, perceiving God in everything.

Of course, these are moments.

I feel like I've become more intelligent, tolerant, and patient.

It's like being aware that I am the soul, and in that way I can identify the mind, the intelligence, my false ego, and I can easily transcend things that were previously intolerable to me.

Maybe I'm crazy, haha, but if this is real, I owe it to my spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, Radha, and Krishna.

Thank you, Maharaja.

HpS/ASA - Thank you for this news. AgtSP. We have similar experiences and are also not sure if we are advancing spiritually or suffering from the advance of senile dementia! 🙂

I guess there are at least five other people agreeing with this situation.

Of course: https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/adi/7/102/#bb1084245

If our so called "spiritual advancement" dictates that we break the four principles or not chant 16-enthusiastic rounds/day and don't keep proper company as described in NoI, especially 4-6 and again 9 then we know it is madness.

How Kardama Muni met Devahuti is nice, chapter in Third Canto, no?

Hare krishna, Gurudeva, PAMHO, AGTSP. I just wanted to share my experience of my visit to my home town (birth place).

I had recently had a great chance of visiting my 87 years old mother in Nepal.

I was very happy to see her very healthy chanting every day at least 16 rounds of Japa despite of her age.

I spent 8 days with my mother and my other relatives who are chanting at least 4 rounds.

HpS - OM Bhur Bhuvah Sva.

SB 10.47.63 !!

As my preaching service I have been offering regular Bhagavad-gita discourse for latest 15 months.

ASA - ❗

All together we have about 50 participants all from remote villages and the class is through ZOOM IN Nepali language. In the beginning I had promised to them if they follow the 4 regulative principal and chant at least 4 rounds I will personally take them to Vrindavan and Ayodhaya.

After spending 8 days in Nepal we started our journey as promised

To Ayodhaya and to Vrindavan 18 hours of trip.

First we visited the birth place of Lord Ram and had beautiful darsan of Ram lala. From there we went to Sarayu ganga where Lord Ram along with his 3 brothers performed regular pastimes as Lord krishna did in yamuna. Next we went to the famous temple of Sri Hanuman ji also known as HANUMAN GADHI.

At this place Lord Ram had asked Hanuman to guard Ayodhya in his absence while he was in 14 years of exile.

After completing our darsan we proceed to Vrindavan for 12 hours of trip. We arrived in Vrindavan at 9 pm and took rest

After eating prasadam.

Next morning it was first day of Kartik and our schedule for next 5 days was tight as we had planned .

Day 1- we all went for mangal arati and started our journey 5:30 to Varsana parikrama.

We started our parikrama from vanukund to barsana parikrama, Prem sarovar, Nanda gow, Ter Kadhamba' and Aseswar mahadev.

In the evening of same day performed Vrindavan parikrama.

Day 2- Gokul,

Again after mangala arati we started our trip.

First to Bhattron rai (in this place the Braman patnis feed krishna in the forest)

Then we went to Akrura ghat(her Akrura took his midday snan while taking Krishna And Blaram to Mathura)

-Then we went to Dauji

-Radha Ranis birth place

-Chinta haran

-Brahmanda ghat

-house where krishna stay for 2 years

-Okhal bandan (where krisna was tied up)

-Raman reti and at last Mathura(jail where Krishna was born.

Day 3 kama ban

-Badri nath

-kedarnath

-gangotri

-jamunotri and different place in kamiya ban.

ASA - Ashokavan??

Day 4 Govardhan Parikrama and bathing in Radha kunda.

You offer so much from the outside but then Krsna offers so much for each pilgrim from the inside!
