Please accept my obeisances

All Glories Srila Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Sankirtan movement.

We are grateful to the Supreme Personality of Godhead Govinda for allowing us his association and being able to aspire to become Vaisnavas. After being absent for some time I was thinking and reflecting on how to be a better servant, and I understood that work and external effort only generate anxiety and disturbance of the mind. Addicted to coffee my intelligence was confused but by causeless mercy we are restored to stable service through the study of Srimad Bhagavatam and 16 Rounds. Now we are starting Bhaktivaibhava third canto with Radhika Nagar Prabhu and our intelligence is getting purified. Seeing Oka Humility of Vidura, your classes are good reference to study and have a good understanding.

We were able to form a Civil Association, New Govardhana Montemorelos, before the Mexican government thanks to the help of members dedicated to obtaining results (Guna Vira Prabhu and Bhakta Diego). We are the president, secretary and treasurer. There are lifelong members who contribute monthly financially. Next October, Prabhu Hari Cakra, a disciple of Prabhupada, will be arriving. He is in Malaga, Spain, but he feels a responsibility to PREACH in Latin America and wants us to distribute books and join forces to establish a strong program in Montemorelos.

Our agricultural system is working with little effort and a lot of results. The restaurant and the hostel are getting better and better. We are importing Chef Narayan Para Prabhu from Argentina. Our spiritual brother is interested in vending. He will come to Monterrey to work in the restaurant.

Gurudeva, I miss you very much and at any moment I will look for you at Radha Kunda and listen to your kirtan. Please forgive my offenses. I am maturing and understanding the great treasure of Bhakti.

I am reporting my activities to the GBC and I thank you for appreciating my enthusiasm and emphasizing that action is better than inaction. Or passion than ignorance. The holy name provides the nutrients to cultivate goodness and serve better.

Family life is like a fortress that protects me and helps me stay safe. With the constant occupation and supervision of my wife I can be morally exemplary. Without a doubt, I appreciate the Grihasta ashram more than ever. I have many memories and advice that I keep in my heart and I am eternally grateful to you for OPENING MY EYES WITH SO MUCH LOVE AND WISDOM.

Let's continue. Making plans and arrangements to conquer and continue the fight in Sankirtan, we understand that ISKCON is a young institution with ancient knowledge and we are understanding our position, I am slow to understand but I do not give up in my process, I just need time to think and have a better perspective.

We are grateful and we are here to serve you.

Your aspiring servant, the fallen Gadadhara Gosai Das of Mexico

HpS,ASA. - your, agtSP, words are like a plate full of sweet fruit for us dying men.

Hope you can avoid the coffee the rest of your life, or maybe you will become an Arab, and drag us all with you.

You asked us

The word puruṣānumatena indicates that the Lord sets the stage for such material futility so that the conditioned souls will eventually come back home, back to Godhead. sb 11.24.5

HpS-ASA... Is this the basis of Govardhana Puja?

answer: this is from SB, Canto 11: General History CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR The Philosophy of Sāṅkhya

following might be useful

While the sages glorify the sun-god with the hymns of the Sāma, Ṛg and Yajur Vedas, which reveal his identity,,,,,,,,,

All glorues To Srila Prabhupada!!!

All glories To Radha Govinda!!

Dear and Remembered Gurudev, please, could you tell me which style of dance our GOVINDA likes the most? I think He would like a dance done with love and devotion, but since He is a person and has His own tastes, I would very much like to know which style of dance He likes the most.

Many many many many thanks!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💖

Please forgive any offense in this letter.

Japa Prati Jalpa Radha Devi Dasi

HpS - !!!! I have never heard from Prabhupada about a specific dance style that Krsna likes, from Prabhupada!!

Maybe others know.

He always says that best dance is by pure devotees.

Engage others in dancing for Krsna!!

All night!

Dear Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you!!

Respected Gurudeva, for your causless mercy, at the beginning of October I dreamed of you, you were contemplating a very special lake because it was a lake not of water but of golden light, or in any case of golden water. When I woke up I felt in a hurry to write to you, therefore I will start.

A few days before Janmastami, we spoke on the phone and I expressed my desire to see you and serve you in Spain and India. Your response was “You can also come to the United States and stay with us for a year” and “now you have to realize me in your heart”. Gurudeva, you know how to touch people’s hearts because Srila Prabhupada touched yours and taught you by his example. Therefore, far from saddening me, your response filled me with enthusiasm. I understood that my service should not be based on my desires, but on how and where you want me to serve you (go to the USA and be useful in your Sankirtan especially in NIOS). This is the theme of the Bhagavad Gita (4.34).

Regarding your words “you have to realize me in your heart”, after several days of reflecting on them and by the mercy of SADAI NIMAI NITAI, I was able to understand the following: To advance in spiritual life the disciple must establish an internal, deep and spiritual connection with his Spiritual Master. “Realizing the Guru in your heart” means that, beyond his physical presence, which is undoubtedly auspicious, we must internalize his teachings and feel his constant guidance in the heart. This is possible through sincerity and constant devotional practice. Then, on the same day of Janmastami, in Chosica, thinking of you in front of the altar of Sita, Rama, Laksman, Hanuman I could remember you dancing and singing for His pleasure, at that moment I better understood your main teaching that guides our service: 1) Who am I? 2) Who are we? 3) A plan to develop Sankirtan together and 4) The resources and paraphernalia we have to do it. Your fundamental teaching to properly do this is clear: Get up early and chant 16 good rounds.

Srila Prabhupada addressed this topic in a letter to his disciple Jadurani Dasi on September 4, 1972: “I am always with you through your faithful following of my instructions. Physically we may not be present, but that does not matter. If you follow me strictly, then I am with you always, at all times."

So, my humble conclusion of realizing you in my heart is that I must always be aware that the Guru-disciple relationship is not limited by time and space, the Guru-disciple relationship is eternal. The physical presence of the Guru is not the most important thing, but the obedience and sincerity in following his teachings, this is the essence of what it means to "realize the Guru in your heart." Is that right?

Thank you very much Gurudeva for giving me a useful and practical perspective on my humble service to you, after all, putting your spiritual desire and guidance above my individualistic desires is the best way to make spiritual advancement.

Manuel has sent you a report of the academic Sankirtan we will perform with Radhika Raman d, Lalita-gopi Dd, Govinda Pramodini Dd, Jagad-Guru, Gunavira and other devotees in October. Please give us your blessings to be instruments of your mercy and to be useful to you and the Sankirtana and mission of Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna GURUDEVA, your insignificant servant,

Abhiram Thakur das

HpS - ASA - Thank, agtSP, you!

Your realization seems the same as ours and there is an exact citation in NIO (6?) like this.

When you say, understanding Sankirtan of spiritual master, we think of all of us understanding the internal service of Srila Prabhupada!

Eyes dying.

Hope other letters also useful to you.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am following the 4 regulative principles and chanting 16 rounds.

We are doing the FMP daily with Dhaasharathi in the mornings, depending on when he wakes up. Most of the time, we do it in the room itself while feeding him. We are also doing Damodar arti daily in the evening with him along with some kirtan. We try to read SB to him daily. We are now in the 22nd chapter of 10th Canto.

We had the great fortune of serving Anantarupa Prabhu when he stayed in our home during his layover to Peru. We took blessing from his Shaligram Shilas and had his association.

I saw Your tweet today Guru Maharaj about your travel plans to Houston. Luckily, our astrologer in India has given us 18th December as the date for the Anna Prashana ceremony for Dhaasharathi and Srinath's daughter Chandranana.

I wanted to ask if it would be ok to do it in Your presence in the Houston temple? The timing for the ceremony is 9.30am to 10am. I wanted to confirm with you if it would be feasible before booking tickets to Houston, Guru Maharaj. It would be a great blessing for both children to have their first rice feeding ceremony in Your presence at Nila Madhava Dham.

If we can do the ceremony in Houston on the 18th of December, then we'll start making the arrangements.

Your humble servant

Sri Rama Krishna Das

HpS - AGTSP.

Seems fine with us.

We should arrive on the 17th, no?

You seem to be keeping your self a pure devotee, so Krsna should be sending innocent people to hear and see your Sankirtan!

Super!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva!

Please accept my respectfull obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope you are well and in good health. I have followed your stay in Radha Kunda, Vrindavan Dham, and your return to Spain on social media. It's very exciting and inspiring to see you so active in your preaching and sankirtan!

I'm writing to tell you that I will be able to visit you in Nueva Vrajamandala. I already have the flight tickets. I will arrive in Madrid on November 6th and I have a return flight to Santiago on December 3rd. After buying the tickets, I checked the Vaishnava calendar and realized that the day I will take the flight from Santiago, November 5th, commemorates the day that Srila Prabhupada left his body. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I've been in communication with your disciples in charge of the service related to your visit in Nueva Vrajamanadala, my friend Yugala Kishor DD and especially with Yasoda DD who is supporting me and guiding me with all the procedures for my stay in Nueva Vrajamandala.

It will be very interesting to meet the devotees there and especially H.H. Yadunandana Swami and H.G. Mahajana Das. I've seen online classes and talks and they are great scholars, with a lot of sensitivity.

I'm very happy with this opportunity to see you and try to serve you directly and personally once again and perform service for Nueva Vrajamandala during my stay. I would very much like to have some conversations with you, with those dialogues I want to write and publish a book. I think that if we don't have enough time, maybe we can start in Spain and continue later online, God willing. Everything depending on your mood, health and disponibility of your time.

Thank you very much for everything, Gurudeva, please accept my respectful obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Hare Krishna!

Your aspiring servant,

Carlos from Iskcon Chile

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. TB and BW et all welcome you to the circus!

Hope we can get some good Sankirtan from your visit.
