AGTSP.
Paoho.
We have had, very, very low energy for the last two days. Just taking Ekadasi type Prasad.
We have to just do very light work, no complicated thinking.
Maybe more energetic tomorrow. Get to the messages.
Yet, happy, learning new things about Krsna-kirtan.
Hare Krishna Beloved Gurudeva:
AGTSP PAMHO 📿

paoho...
We were able to do a fantastic 30-minute interview with Vaisesika Das on Book Distrribution and the Ministry of Education, but we need it transcribed.
Can anyone help? Immediately?
We can divide it into 5-minute blocks e.g. 1-5 minute, 5-10 minutes...
If you can transcribe 1, 2, ... 6 blocks quickly please let us know. It does not have to be perfect quality.

HpS, TB. UG, BW..
Yesterday, Sunday, we were suffering from over eating, bread and butter, and it forced us to take extra rest! Still we were enlivened to write a letter to H. H. Satsvarupa Das Goswami in honor of his Vyasa-puja. We attach pictures of the humble letter.
Then today, Monday we got up at 1.15AM and were chanting, but a little tired by 7AM so took a nap but didn't wake up until 8.15AM ... and class was over .... 😲
so we panicked and looked looked for the link in www.GoToMeeting.com. It was only a 32-minute class.
We called Srinivasa-acharya Das to apologize to Mataji for our slovenly behavior.
Then listened to the class.
It was very nice.
Guru-govinda Devi Dasi was the Chief-Guest. (She needs to learn the Sanskrit for the invocation prayers (she is a lawyer!)). 😇
The class was very smooth. Very complete. A summary of the history of Kardama and Devahuti. We clarified one misconception about the story, but one question comes up.
It says that there should be compatibility between the character etc of the boy and girl, and M. Sundara Radhika Devi Dasi, said that there should not be too much difference in age between the boy and girl.
This brings up and interesting question.
In the current, Amer-European system the boy's and girl's ages are almost the same.
We have heard that it is VERY, VERY, difficult if the girl is older than the boy, and we have seen that this is so true. Almost always results in divorce of Western couples. (We have used our mystic powers to make one of our disciples three years younger, so she is not older than here husband.)
Yet, Devahut must have been about 11 or 12 years old and Kardama was at least 25.
SB 1.17.38 suggests girls by 16 and boys by 25 years get married, no?
History of Cyvana Muni and Sukanya, SB 9.3 relates story of Old Man marrying maybe 12-year old girl, and Srila Prabhupada commented that usually this is not normal, but he cites from his personal experience of a girl like 19-years old marrying an older man in the village with no family and he says that in the end they were both very happy, because they were Vaisnava.
Hmmm?
It would seem, that in the current world heavily influenced by AmerEuro culture girls of 17-years old marrying boys of 25-years might be very practical, but as much as possible returning to the girls being 'betrothed' by their wish and parents consent at 12-years old, and then living with husband by 16-years old, would be ideal.
It is interesting, in most, all(?), USA states, girls can marry by 18-years old without parental consent and by 16-with parental consent.
What do you think?
VAD for Divine Goals!
Then. we did a lot of mail!! Talked with ARTD on the phone for 15-minutes, cooked Kitri for Lord N and we hope to work on the FEP for tonight, before we go for a walk.
It is 4-degrees Celsius here at 3PM.
Our health is much improved with Buck White cooking.
All Glories to Sri Guru Paramparah, A.C.Praphupada ki Jay!
Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay
H. H. HpS Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam!
Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s Padama Charan that I am so happy to get Guruji Maharaja's reply so soon, and it is the same address written not to write in this blog.
HpS - AGTSP!!! Thank you. I don't understand "it is the same address written not to write in this blog". Is the answer going to a bad address? The whole world wants to hear about Manipur.
In my last letter I attached the Murties I worship daily, please comment. Please prefix 91 in the mobile no. 8787511206 to use watch up [whatsapp].
HpS - We just sent you a message from our fallen planet!
I am reading Bhagavatam 11.21.6.
“ The words nama-rupani-visamani refer to the system of varnasrama dharma, in which members of human society are designated according to four social occupational divisions. Those dedicated to intellectual or religious perfection are called brahmanas, those dedicated to political perfection are called Ksatriya, those dedicated to financial perfection are called vaisyas and those dedicated to eating, sleeping, sex and honest work is called sudras.”
Because the sun is the sources of heat within this world, (we use the sun is the sources of all energies) an object that approaches the sun becomes hotter and hotter until it merges into fire. In the same manner, as we approached the transcendental nature of the Personality of Godhead, we automatically become surcharge with absolute goodness.
11.21.10.
“The word samskarana also indicates that the purity or impurity of a particular object is ascertained according to the regulations of ritualistic performs. For example, a flower to be offered to the Daity must be purified with water. But we heard and practice to purify the flower to be offered to the Daity by mantra “ Om puspe, puspe ……….. hung fut svaha [aum phat svaha?]” Please explain this example.
HpS - Just seems like two kinds of purification: One by gross elements, wash the flower with clean wather, and two purify it by words that touch the heart of Krsna?
Sometimes please ask spiritual related questions, so as to remember, whatever we discussed or read in previous or in future.
Yours fallen servant,
Yamuneswara Das
HpS - Who is Krsna speaking to in this chapter? For how many verses, chapters, does Krsna speak to him? What has Krsna discussed to far with him?
If we are like fire, a single match, then there is no limit to how big a fire we can ignite by our own simple efforts.
