Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

pamho Agtsp

Thank you very much for your blessings to worship Gaura Nitai, we will follow your instructions and help you in your worship for Gaura Nitai. But how can we do this? we can just go to Loy Bazaar and buy Deities?, or we need to pray ?could you give some recommendations regarding this. 

Dear Guru Maharaj, I have only one question left,

what should we do with Giriraj?, I humbly ask you to help us understand how to deal with him.

We will accept any decision you make and follow it.

HpS - Ask Mataji's Guru also! I would say that you should pray to GN to appear, but you can looking Loi Bazaar. Ask devotees if they know of a set that are looking for a home.

I would say that you can keep a Govardhana Sila in a clean place on your altar. Keep him clean, but don't worship him separately. Until you have met the standard of purity as described in the last letters.

Thank you.

Thanks so much for your time, and your inspiración

Vrajendra Kumara das and Bhaktin Aleksandra.

Hare Krsna, Guruji Maharaja, Dandavat Pranam,

All Glaries to Sri Krsna, Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Brinda.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto the padmacharan of Guruji Maharajah that this as year gone, Guruji's Vyasa Pujah also finished. Some pictures are attached for memory.

HpS - AgtSP

Just for increasing spiritual knowledge in serving Radha Krsna, Panchatatva, Jagannatha, Balabhadra, and Subhadra, I am reading the translation in Manipuri the book Prem Bilas of Rupa Goswami Thakur Maharaja.

HpS - We do not have an English copy.

After initiation and brahma diksa also we have never discussed / taught how to serve deities. The most important thing is to serve Nityananda first to get Gouranga Mahaprabhu likewise, we should serve Radharani first to get Krsna. Again, we should fix a particular kunja following a particular Manjuri. Please instruct me my particular kunja and Manjuri to be followed. All such things are not in the Bhagavat Gita and Bhagavatam.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Hare Krsna!!!! Text Eight of Nectar of Instruction, Srila Rupa Goswami's, Upadesamrta, seems have complete answer to this question, no? NoI is first book of Srila Rupa Goswami, the more we study, assimilate, it deeper and deeper, the more we can go to the other instructions of Srila Rupa Goswami.

In the beginning as second initiated devotees, we can worship Lord Nityananda and Srimati Radha on our ISKCON temple altars as given by Srila Prabhupada, Bh. Siddhanta, Lord Caitanya... Of course, such nice pujaris as Bana mali Das et al can give instructions about this.

Then gradually our worship will come to Ruci seva, Raga-anuga seva (See https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/7/#bb5985 and following verses). This comes when are Goswamis, formally or by practice and realization. Ladys must also come to this stage before becoming pure devotees.

Are you Nistha, fixed, in Vaidhi Bhakti, service by rules and regulations:

• Every day 16-nice rounds.
• Four principles strictly.
• Mangala arati and proper bath and dress for your Deity's daily.
• All day fully engaged according to the daily Seva.

If we can do this, then Guru-Gauranga will reveal our Eternal Place and Leader.

How is your service progressing like this???

Your letters are very inspiring for such dummies as us.

HpS

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please accept our dandabat pranams,

Yesterday at 2 pm, H.H. Bhakti Anandamai Haridasa Guru Maharaja and Banamali Prabhu, Sadhubhusan Dasa and Brojendro Prabhu came at Thoubal and discussed the modalities, program and finalised everything for your Vyasapuja.

Around 50 we are arranging Prasadam. Programme will start from 8.30 a.m. and Prasadam at 1.00 p.m.

Please suggest any item to be added.

Yours fallen sarvent,

Yamunesvara Das.

HpS - Thank you for the news! AGTSP. So nice to hear of the devotees in Manipura. First, we are only supporting a HpS Vyasa Puja if it is viewed as our effort to glorify, illuminate the entire parampara: Krsna, Vyasa, Lord Caitanya, Narottama Das, Srila Prabhupada, Us, You et al.

What is our place?

We offer our obeisances to everyone.

Sing the Bhajan by Bh. Siddhanta Sarasvati, no? http://kksongs.org/songs/k/krsnahoitecatur.html

Here is our Vyasapuja Offering to Srila Prabhupada this year.

"We offer our humble obeisances to His Divine Grace Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, author of the book, KRSNA: The Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krsna Consciousness.

Srila Prabhupada, we suspect that our attempts to illuminate your glories on your Vyasapuja day are like a candle trying to illuminate the sun. The flame just becomes invisible. On the other hand if we are allowed to consider the task like a fire-fly trying to illuminate some of the features of your lotus feet then we might be able to make a small contribution to today's activities.

When your divine grace was in Berkeley. California in 1975 we heard from your lips that anyone who chants the Pancha-tattva Maha-mantra and follows it with the Hare Krsna Maha-mantra has achieved the perfection of life, but if they wanted to preach they should probably read your books.

Then, when asked by a reporter what would happen to your movement when your divine grace died, you answered firmly that you would never die, you would live forever in your books.

These two statements are our life and soul.

Thank you.

We try to always be chanting Maha-mantra internally and externally under the shelter of your divine grace's lotus feet and over and above that read and preach from your books.

Now we read Caitanya-caritamrta daily before Mangala-arati, and it is 90% a novel experience for us. We understand it with so much more depth than before. We see that your divine grace's book is deep beyond our abilities to plumb.

Then after Mangala-arati we read and discuss a little with the devotees in Spanish. Before we were doing Nectar of Devotion, but now we are read a verse a day from the Light of the Bhagavata. We find the purports as direct truth, illumination, on such topics at Veganism, administration in ISKCON etc.

We keep a daily Srimad Bhagavatam class. Sometimes it is with an online group, sometimes local temples. We are integrating our study with the development of questions for the Bhakti-vaibhava diploma with your ISKCON Board of Examinations.

We cite your books from Vedabase.io and the concepts we have learned therein in our humble attempts to preach in the university, Jungian, world classical literature and interfaith communities.

They are the guide for devotees advancing from adau sraddha, sadhu sanga... to prema.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada. We feel we have always been a heavy load that you have had to drag forward in our purification, but we are experiencing practical advancement.

We hope that we can be a little, pleasing, grain of sand under your lotus feet, in the sandy path that is your ISKCON, helping your Sankirtan expand and expand and expand.

Thank you.

Your very fallen servant, Hanumatpresaka Swami

At you service.

pamho AGTSP

I wanna ask u finally what to do whit our deitie of Radha Giridhari, whit out your blessing we can't obtain the Supreme Lord service. Only 4 points.

👉

1)Before the wedding, we prayed that Krsna would come to our family in the form of a Deity (in any way the Overlord chooses) Because we can not create a good family if there is no Krsna in the center and worship Him in the form of a Deity. And Krsna came to us in this form.

HpS - Great! AGTSP!

2) I have already started worshipping Him and I have become attached to him and I cannot just give up serving him, but at the same time, I am not qualified and especially without your blessings I have 0 qualifications, because in reality you are serving the Deity of Krishna, not me, I am only serving as your instrument and helper in your worship.

3) we also told our sitation about this Guru of my wife, we told him your opinion on this matter and he said taking into account your words that if he gave his blessings for the worship of Giriraj, he would recommend that before worshipping Giriraj, prepare for it and at least a year , every day, regularly offer prayers in order to invite Giriraj to the family and worship him. 

(Before Giriraj came)

4) but the one thought that's sitting in my head is that I can't do anything for Him without your blessings, because I don't do worship, you do worship, and I just help in your service, and if you don't do it, how can I help you, then I can't do it.

On my part, I can follow the instructions of Niranjana Swami and my wife and I will offer prayers to Giriraj every day for a year. But maybe you could give me some other recommendations and instructions on how I could become a qualified brahmana to be your instrument in the worship of Giriraj. Could you give your blessings to this plan, or will you give us other introductions?

HpS - My only knowledge, AGTSP, is that unless you are living like a Brahmana, 4-principle strictly and 16-nice rounds/per day, then there can be very bad reactions from worshipping Govardhana and Saligrama sila, deaths in the family etc.

If you can do this for one year (with prayers) before starting Giriraja worship then, O.K., but must also continue after you start. It is like having a baby. You can't just put him aside because you are tired of him.

Attachment is Okay. https://vedabase.io/es/library/sb/1/6/19/ and following verses are illuminating, no?

Gaura - Nityananda! Gaura-Nityananda! 😁

Hk pamho Querido Guru maharaja, aquí la Surabi azul vuelve al rebaño, hoy regrese de casa de una amiga, hubo un intercambio amoroso prasadham a cambio de una confidencia. El año pasado y creo que sobre todo este año mi servicio de entregar prasadham de Radha Madama Bihari a los que por distintas razones no pueden tomarlo y lo desean me a traído felicidad. Cada visita es como una revelación Krsna manda un mensaje, estoy haciendo mi plan en esta persona, veo que hace milagros, concede deseos desde tiempo inmemorial. Me alegra ver que Krsna cambia la vida a las personas, reciprocara según la entrega. Espero que mis deseos valgan la pena. Krsna últimamente me muestra que todo tiene un precio, a veces ese precio es muy alto. Quisiera por ello ser honesta y que mis pedidos no sean vidrios rotos. Estoy pensando sumar a mis actividades aparte de Pujari y distribución de alimentos alguna más como un servicio a la comunidad. Aunque sea un día a la semana. Así es mi lucha contra la monotonía. Me siento feliz cuando el día termina lleno de servicio y me acuesto cansada pero contenta porque fue un buen día, digno. Estamos buscando salir caminar, cantar rondas fuera un grupo antes de pujari y el resto en lugar neutral fuera de casa y templo, en tranquilidad, caminar es mi único ejercicio, extraño bailar, una amiga llego a Vrndavana, es muy determinada, me cuenta que muy pocos usan tapa boca, cerrando fronteras se solucionó el contagio y los índices muestra que la pandemia esta de bajada. Así me parece genial, eso es vida, lejos de un mundo de paranoia, visitando un lugar sagrado lleno de sabios. Extraño a esos encuentros de sabios en presencial, quisiera estar siempre en asociación de grandes sabios, para no dejarme influenciar por mediocridad. Pienso que este periodo para la salud de los maestros es bueno, todo tiene su precio, viajar siempre deteriora la salud, pero que bonito es, verdad. Bueno deseaba compartir eso con Ud. estamos más optimistas y abiertas a cambios siempre que mejoren las condiciones, los astrólogos hablan de malos periodos, que importancia tienen realmente si actuamos como vivos, almas nada podrá afectarnos, confiamos y hemos constatado que donde están tus pensamientos es lo determina el estado de conciencia. Por favor sus bendiciones para que este año me permita lograr una meta, volver pronto al Dham. Tener la asociación de santos.

Hk pamho Dear Guru Maharaja, here the blue Surabi returns to the flock,

today I returned from a friend's house, there was a loving exchange prasadham in exchange for a confidence.

End of the year and I believe that especially this year my service of giving Radha Madama Bihari's prasadham to those who for various reasons cannot take it and want it has brought me happiness.

Each visit is like a revelation.

Krsna sends a message, I am making my plan with this Person, I see that He performs miracles, He grants wishes from time immemorial.

I am glad to see that Krsna changes people's lives, reciprocating according to surrender. I hope my wishes are worth it. Krsna lately shows me that everything has a price, sometimes that price is very high.

ASA - Srila Prabhupada says that he is selling diamonds. Not as many customers as for cut glass.

I would therefore like to be honest and that my requests are not broken glass. I am thinking of adding to my activities apart from Pujari and food distribution some more as a service to the community. Even if it's one day a week.

ASA - Super!

This is my fight against monotony.

ASA - Mono Tone. Would be Nirvisesa! Yes, we fight against Nirvisesa and Sunyavadi! Wonder Girl to the Rescue.

I feel happy when the day ends full of service and I go to bed tired but happy because it was a good day, worthy. We are looking to go out for a walk, sing rounds outside a group before pujari and the rest in a neutral place outside the house and temple, in tranquility, walking is my only exercise, I miss dancing,

HpS - In Goloka, every step, walk, is a dance. Practice!

... a friend came to Vrndavana, she is very determined, she tells me that Very few use a cover, closing borders the contagion was solved and the indexes show that the pandemic is on the decline. So it seems great to me, that is life, away from a world of paranoia, visiting a sacred place full of wise men. I miss those meetings of wise men in person, I would always like to be in association with great wise men, so as not to be influenced by mediocrity. I think that this period for the health of the teachers is good, everything has its price, traveling always deteriorates health, but how beautiful it is, right. Well, I wanted to share that with you. We are more optimistic and open to changes whenever conditions improve, astrologers speak of bad periods, how important it really is if we act as alive, souls nothing can affect us, we trust and we have verified that where are your thoughts It is what the state of consciousness determines. Please your blessings so that this year allows me to achieve a goal, to return soon to the Dham. Have the association of saints.

HpS - ASA - We should all take lessons from Walter Leon, how to organize our life/Vastu veda, so that we can live alone and in the Big House at the same time. Many b'cariinis, Grhasthas in the same complex so that they don't have to wear masks.
