Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP PAMHO 🙏☺️💕🐒

More than words ... Pictures

Happy Father's day.

Yesterday I installed a frame of your Hanuman deity in my altar. It is said that if you worship Lord Hanuman you develop humility. I need to work on that a lot.

Thanks for the inspiration

See you in class

Your servant

HpS - By your pious activities you father and mother are becoming liberated from bad reactions and proceeding in their happy life. Maybe you will see them in your community as young children!

Dear Guru Maharaj, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.

HpS - ASA -- Agt The Assembled Devotees. So nice to hear from you after such a long time. AYou still a Dhama-vasi! Is that the result of all your years of austerity?

Greetings from Sridham Mayapur. I hope you and everyone are in good health.

Guru Maharaj, As conveyed by Laxmana-agra-ja Prabhu to you, The auspicious date for Yajna for my marriage to Vira Gopal Prabhu has been confirmed by the astrologer for 22nd of August 2021.

Your humble servant

HpS - Jaya! Yes, of course. We are very happy to talk with Prabhuji by What'sapp. Laksmana. a. Das has our contact number.

Of course, he will have to shoot the eye of the fish suspended from the ceiling to win such a valuable daughter in marriage, no?

Tom Brown, Buck White and Uncle Gismo,

We get asked to give advice about marriage relations, and like any ordinary people, we automatically think we are qualified to give it. Why? Because we are being asked to do so.

Then our association with Srila Prabhupada and Krsna gives us perspective and we actually come to a more accurate perception.

• By nature and situation we are in the Sannyasa order. Our first advice is almost always renounce. If there are problems in your relationship renounce them. That is the natural fault of a Sannyasi, false renunciation. We, by nature and situation, are not qualified to give specific advice on Grhasta relations.
• We are uniquely situation to give good advice because we are not closely involved in the situation viz. No one knows who discovered water, but it probably wasn't a fish.

We are thinking of one particular situation directly in front of our attention right now that will hopefully allow us to give some useful advice.

Our first advice is, along with Krsna and Srila Prabhupada's books, get Ashrama gurus eg. Parents or other family members who are battle tested. They've been through it and have come out successful.

You will need them in the beginning, middle and end.

ASHRAMA GURUS

Divorce is no more realistic than pulling our your teeth, because you are having trouble eating. Some cultures who are recently following the American lead will think that cell phones, nuclear weapons, birth control pills and divorce are good.

We Americans come from a culture that is now 3rd world in marriage relations, and having been involved with divorce since birth I can say that it does not work.

The Vedas say that it does not exist.

If a boy and girl have reasonable consultation before marriage (by people who have two hands, two legs, and can hold down government jobs) and then say, "I do", before a priest and succeed in living together for 3-5 years with out killing each other, then divorce won't work.

Your too much connected.

You've grown your second set of teeth. Your babyhood is over.

There is no divorce.

Vedic description of psycho-physical nature of girls is that they can only give themselves once.

You can only grow your adult teeth once.

Well, you may ask, what about your HpSwami who is divorced, and it is a good example?

Yes, paste the devil on the wall.

1. He did not apply for divorce, his wife did.
2. He entered into Sannyasa life and never returned (which justifies his wife getting remarried after six years [good woman <bet a good second husband also>].
3. His mind returns to his son, wife every day and tries to create a happy family life. He looks like he went through marriage in a sincere, Krsna conscious, fashion so he will be able to extract the deep attachments while in Sannyasa ashrama, but if he had been able to go through the complete cycle it may have been more natural.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

From the Dude's, point of view, if he follows the advice given by the Sannyasa and Ashrama gurus in conversation with all involved, and it is not working out, then seems he might take a second wife. This can be legally adjusted in terms of the current legal system but in Vedic perspective, he has to continue to love, protect, his first wife eg. Offer a good Ashrama situation like seeing that here father and brother are looking after her. She is getting descent income from her service. All the world knows that he/she are still fulfilling the obligations accepted in the Marriage Vows and she is not a

👹! DIVORCEE 👹 !

VEDIC FUNCTIONS LIKE DIVORCE

Second-wife will be like a set of false teeth, but in some rare cases this is better than the real ones.

There is no Romeo, there is no Juliet. The best we can do is Kardama and Devahuti, and they both had great qualities, and the conclusion was that they both realized that marriage is a therapeutic relation only for mentally ill people and as soon as we can help each other go through it and get back to our real family life in Goloka as nicely curved blades of grass we should do it.

You may have noticed that this letter does not cover a million different things, but that is that nature of Grhasta ashrama, it may take 25-years to perfect it.

That's all for today.

Hare Krishna

Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your Lotus feet

hps - so nice to hear from you. we work to keep our feet clean, and at 72-years old, by srila pravhupada's extreme mercy, they still work well, but not lotus yet.

All Glory to Sri Caitanya and Nityananda

All Glory to Sankirtan Movement

All Glory to AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

ASA - !

I hope you're in good health, Thanks for all your Bhakti, it's my main inspiration.

I'm talkin about Krishna, with all I can. So there are many difficult sittuations among devotees, I pray to we can undestand the real love and successfully pass the Maya test.

Many people have left, among family, Friends and devotees, at the same time new ones are arriving and growing.

HpS - Yes, try to save them, but also remember what srila prabhupada said that once they come to KRSNA they can never get away.

I keep studying the Prabhupada books, Srimad Bhagavatam, Upadesamrta, Bhagavad Gita, Caitanya Caritamrita, and others Prabhupada lectures and your lectures and another devotees. I've been worshiping Tulasi, and Chanting japa everyday. I pray That one day I can do it with full purity.

Your fool crew member : AniruddhaKrsna Dasa.

HpS - If you are a fool and doing what you describe, then a lot of the rest of us on the boat are not even animals. (photo attached).

Hare Krsna Gurudev

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Todas las glorias a sus fieles discípulos como Usted!

-According to what we talked about Asa audiovisual in the last meeting, reviewing the list of videos and the DTC-UT powerpoints that we already have, I find that it is not necessary for you to send the Gotomeeting files. We can do it with the Asa Carnaval + Power point audios and achieve the same quality.

-We changed the covers to English of Inter-religious Dialogue.

-We cut the beginning of all the videos and only leave the first recitation of the verse.

Today we have:

1-DTC-UT- ID: 4 sessions available on Youtube

2-DTC-UT-BVL: 3 sessions available on youtube

3-DTC-UT-C & V: 3 sessions. Edited 40%

4-DTC-UT- LM: 2 sessions. ready to Editing

5-DTC-UT- FA: 1 session: ready to editing

Questions

-We are not sure what to do with the Upendra classes, we think it would be good to cut it out of the DTC-UT and make a compilation of his readings separately. What do you think?

HpS - Yes!! 😐

-About the special session on World Literature-Ramayana that you gave by Zoom for Iskcon Huston. Do you think it would be good to include it?

HpS - At this time, no.

Madavendra Puri has a much better internet connection and he is helping us to upload the videos.

ASA - He is great benefactor of poor, weak people like us.

Please let us know what we can improve.

ASA - Nothing now. The channel is 100% better. We are sending university graduates there already.

Thank you very much for engage us in this beautiful service and please excuse our limitations.

Preguntas

-No estamos seguros que hacer con las clases de Upendra, creemos que seria bueno quitarlo del DTC-UT y hacer una compilación de sus lecturas por separado. Que piensa usted?

-Acerca de la sesion especial de Literatura Mundial-Ramayana que usted dio por Zoom para Iskcon Huston. Piensa que seria bueno incluirla?

Madavendra Puri tiene mucho mejor conexión a internet y esta colaborando con la subida de los videos.
