Advancing in honoring Prasadam eg. saving Radha Nila-madhava's Maha prasadam from the sewer pipes 😧

... but still a lot to learn.

It is a great science.


What do you eat daily?

Prasadam.


Whose?

Nila-madhava's. Our Ista devata, Lord Nrsmha deva's. Guru//Krsna Prasad.


What do you offer Daily?

Hot milk and Ayuvedic tea after everything eg. 7.50PM.

Fruit for breakfast.

Whatever we can collect from Maha-prasada distribution in the Temple in the morning, and cook and offer by ourselves by noon.


Can others cook for you?

It is hard because our individual cooking for the day is set to supplement whatever we have garnered from Temple. So, we don't know what needs to be cooked until about 9AM.

Brother Ass feels bad now.

Oooof. Stomach nausea, Eye aches. Vision weaker. Knee pains starting... but this is very nice if it is from Krsna and not our lust.

We should actively cultivate dying as disintegration of the elements in this old auto, year 2000 Mercedes S 320, so that they can all be used in our, or other's, new material bodies, for the service of Krsna.


As the gross body disintegrates, we are forced to do independent Kirtan from the spiritual platform, within our heart. Our hands won't be able to clap forever.


Can we focus on Nila-madhava and Radha at all times during the dying and see Them become more and more uncovered until we can see Their transcendental forms?


Thank you.

Looked at the Blog Mail and did what we could. 🙂

See you in FMS!

Asking advise

Hare Krishna Gurumajaraja

PAMHO

AGTSP


I have a question please:

As I told you Gurumajaraja I already have a plan for preaching, but I have a question:

1._ If I do this program of education in my apartment do I'm obligated to help organizing other preaching programs with the devotees? Or is it enought to Focus in doing this preaching program? Because its so stressfull for me to work with devotees.

Thank you very much for your answer.

Your servant.

Divya Dristi dd

🙏🙏🙏🙏


HpS // ASA - AgtSP! Thank you for this wonderful enquiry about your Sankirtan, personal Sadhana. As we understand we are not required to preach. We can just sit down peacefully and chant the Maha-mantras, but the result of chanting will probably be seeing Krsna as the father of all living beings and therefore, to relieve our Father's anxiety we will want to preach.


Also, preaching, Sankirtan and not just Kirtan, is the most purifying activity in Kali-yuga, no?

So, for our own bathing, we also adopt Sankirtan.


We learn NoI 4-6 and thus we can engage in preaching, Sankirtan, with healthy distance and proximity to devotees in terms of their purification.


Apply this and develop your own individual style of preaching.

Preach alone with the Super Alma or with variety of devotees.

Please eternally accept my obeisances to your wonderful little lotus feet that I miss seeing dance🙏🌹🌷🌻🌺🙏🙏🌻🌷🌹💐


Regarding the links to Krsna videos 😊 it is true that we saw a little more in the little time I have (just today a week-long vacation from work begins) and it is true! Many things are not in accordance with the books of our beloved Acarya. At the beginning I took it as Srila Prabhupada saying: "if you follow the process and continue chanting, you will see pastimes that are not in my books" and I also thought that, since Krsna is unlimited, there must be many ways in which His pastimes are performed on different planets, places, etc. I took it that way. Who am I to limit Him? But I really enjoyed reading His words, dear Gurudeva, do you know that Franco tells me the same thing! That Srila Prabhupada gives us such a clear vision of things! I am glad that Franco says phrases similar to yours and it always makes me remember Him more!


I would really like to see more of Krsna's pastimes and I searched for them. That's why these Greengold links appeared. I like them because the reactions of the Vrajavasis in these videos are very natural, the gestures!! I like that a lot! 😊


But don't worry Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada's books are always in my heart and when I actually watch any video I always remember His teachings. Yes, it is amazing how He gives us Goloka on this earth! I adore Him with all my heart and I feel extremely grateful. Now if You do not find it convenient for me to see these pastimes of Krsna in Green Gold then I will stop watching them. Your word and instruction are always the most important thing for me. I can have the nectar of what I saw in my heart and all confusion will disappear. As You told me in a dream: just keep chanting and all the bad things will go away.


I recently had a dream where I asked you: Would you like me to help you preach? And you looked at me very seriously, as if angry with me, and said: No!


HpS - !!!! Was the devil, not me! Terrible dream. 👹


In these last few days, I thought that I had bothered you with my last letter. I always want to know more and more! Details of what to do on such days, etc. Thank you for telling us about the katyayani vrata. This last one was very nice. I love reciting those verses that you gave us. I am embarrassed to send the photo of "my katyayani" from this year, here. I am not good at sculpting with clay, etc.. 😊


I know that I am very dumb to preach with words, so I prefer to simply repeat exactly what Prabhupada said. We gave prasadam and many vedabase.com to many interested people!!!



¡¡¡¡May Srila Prabhupada's books spread throughout the universe and continue saving many lives as they saved me!!!



Please forgive any offense unintentionally committed in this letter.


trying to please His adorable butter and honey heart:

J.P.Radha dd


HpS//ASA. Thank you.

Go ahead with full force.

I don't remember what the Green Gold videos were but I think you have enough sense, good advisors, to distinguish the gold from the mud!

Go ahead!!

Expect a local wonderful Yatra.

My beloved and much remembered Gurudeva please accept my respectful obeisances to your merciful lotus feet🙏🙏🙏🌻🌼🌷🌹🌺💐🌷🌹🌷🌹🌻🌷🌹


All glories to Srila Prabhupada my dear savior with His wonderful books, when I read them it is as if I were drinking nectar and I want nothing else!

All glories to Him! We are reading the story of His life and coming to America again, it is so so so so inspiring! It feeds me, it gives me new strength! (I am mostly "alone" 😊 half of the day in the morning when I go to work. I am traveling almost daily by train and I like it because I can read a lot and sing rounds)


All Glories to You! My beloved Gurudeva! Thank you for taking such a foolish person like me as a disciple.


I hope you are well and happy in your wonderful state of Krsna consciousness!


Please, Please, PLEASE🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏, I would really, really like to know what you would like me to give you for your VYASA PUJA? Although I am mentally and physically disabled (lately I am exhausted), I know that Krsna always gives me new strength and like an ant that wants to do a service, I would like to know what I can offer you that would be to your liking.


I wish to know this with all my heart! Thank you very much for your reply🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌷🌻💐🌺🌼🌹🌷🌻💐🌺🌼

We are looking for the exact date of Your Vyasa Puja now. We don't find the month of January in the Vaisnava calendar🙄 nothing yet for 2025😑. We hope to know the exact date soon. Jay Gurumaharaja! (after a month of almost not touching my phone because I was very tired, today I can read Your answers. Thank you very much)


HpS//ASA - Thank you!!! Expect special mercy from Krsna!!! Miracles.

Can you record one minute of your regular Japa and send it for all of us Monkey Warriors??

Hare Krsna Gurudeva,

PAmho, agtSP


The more we try not to talk to you, more we slacken .

the more try to be serious in Sadhana, the more we realise the need to talk to you.


You can answer our letter any time, since you have given us a lot.

Sb 10.87.2


You say that Brahman is indescribable by words. But if the Supreme Lord had not created the intelligence, mind and senses, then sound and the other objects of perception would all be just as indescribable as your Brahman. You would have been blind and deaf since birth, and would know nothing about physical forms and sounds, what to speak of the Absolute. So, just as the merciful Lord has given us all faculties of perception for experiencing and describing to others the sensations of sight, sound and so forth, in the same way He may give someone the receptive capacity to realize Brahman. He may, if He chooses, create some extraordinary way for words to function — apart from their ordinary references to material substances, qualities, categories and actions — that will enable them to express the Supreme Truth. He is, after all, the almighty Lord (prabhu), and He can easily make the indescribable describable.



We realised that, just like deity is made of woods, but my mercy of lord it's God.

Similarly holy name might sound mundane? But by the mercy of lord he can be sound incarnation. So only by his mercy name is transcendental ? Otherwise it's like the material Radhu kunda is just a sign board to spiritual Radha kunda?


HpS//ASA - That sounds pretty good! It always has special potency but depending on us etc. we get namabhasa, prema nama etc.


We manier [many?] times think. we are upanashidic/impersonal/tamasic and unfit for ISKCON personal form worship.

HpS - Us too. We probably have thoughts from our American/Hippy background that would make your hair stand on end, the blood run cold in your veins and your eyeballs bulge from their sockets... but we also have nice thoughts due to Srila Prabhupada and his ISKCON!!!


But applying SB 1.7.10 akam-sarva kama, we are getting pulled by Prabhupada books.

His books have no meaning for us without you.


HpS//ASA - 👶 🐵 🐷 🔬 We hope that we can give some meaning to them, but aren't there other devotees, in ISKCON who also give some meaning? Don't you get some just from your intellectual grace. Eg. Just read five pages from SB Canto One and see some result??


Next life time you might be Nimai's puppy, you may want us there, our consciousness needs to be elevated by the mercy of Guru-Gauranga, to be with you.


HpS - We have been together in Gaziabad, Graduate Students apartment in Mumbai, sleeping in library in ISKCON Kolkata, Delhi programs.... Think we are stuck with each other. Some maybe relevant fotos attached.

Thank you.
