Hare Krishna Maharaja PAMHO AGTSP

Here we are still alive (Will be 50 years old in 10 months)

HpS - If we live that long, we will be 74-years old in 11-months. Have you lived a good life so far? Seems like it.

Still based in my parents property (They are getting older over 75 now)

We got 5 hectares land and planning to develop Rural community

Planing to get a 50+ capacity youth hostel near the spot. (Would be a Asrama to host gests and students).

Keep developing projects, getting funds from European Union for developing nice projects for the youth, and supporting ISKCON organizations all around Europe. (Collecting and distributing over 1.000.000 € every year)

Now the good news:

We had a motor bike accident, Clavicle, hand and 3 rips broken.

Surgery, some titanium and glue and ready for service again.

ASA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Six_Million_Dollar_Man. Hope it was very, very useful for your eternal realization!! Big asset.

I was asking my self why Krishna and Balaram let this happen

I didn't need such a big signal just to learn to drive safely.

So It happened that after surgery I had to stay in bed for like 3 weeks.

So I didn't know what to do with all my natural passion.

Finally i decided to focus in trying to understand how to distribute Srila Prabhupada books through internet.

So after many youtube tutorials I Got to a plan

And decided to give it a try.

So I started with the system 23 November

Till Today 10 February we have distributed:

702 Bhagavad Gitas

Over 100 Small books

over 16.000 Euros collected and this is only in 2 months in Spain

Best of all I didn't have to move from my home

I just have to go to the post office once a day

HpS - ! Upadesamrtas? Light of the Bhagavatas? Making your customers in to salesmen??

And over all we got 800 contacts with Address, email and phone number

So we can keep helping this souls to get closer to Krishna, get more books, invite them to festivals, seminars, digital meetings, etc.

HpS - Super! That is the system, no? Distribute a few books and then train those people how to distribute.

We really think this is gonna be a revolution in the Sankirtan movement

The system is just on its first steps so it can be much more productive.

We are now looking for Sankirtan partners so we can expand the system every where:

Already set it up In:

Italy, México and Estonia.

We will start the E-Sankirtan this week in:

Argentina, Colombia, Germany, Sweden, Denmark.

We are setting up to start next week in:

UK, Australia, France, Croatia, Poland, Bielorrusia

Already seting up also for:

France, Portugal, Chile, Bengala, Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg....

We keep in the process of expansion and hopefully we will have cover 30 countries by the end of this year. (Including USA, Canada, India,Russia, etc)

So I believe this will make Prabhupada very happy on his 125 anniversary.

All this has been possible thanks to your constant inspiration.

ASA - AgtSP!

So I kindly ask you for your benediction to be able to serve at the best of my possibilities to your dear guru maharaja (Srila Prabhupada) and Lord´s gauranga Sankirtana movement and your good self.

HpS - Is there some way people who want to join you can contact you?

I am also really trying to set up an ideal rural community as I believe this exemplary communities will also very much make SP happy.

HpS - So are we now. We like the name, New Ashokavan, named after Hanuman's lila of giving the ring to Sita!

In 10 months I will be 50 so I hope I would be able to delegate more in the younger Sankirtan partners like Prema Rasarnava, and Mantri Ram so I can start focusing in more reading and profound chanting.

HpS - Hmmm. Yes, but continue with your Sankirtan, now as a General rather than a Lieutenant.

Marta is being and amazing support, our relationship is getting more mature so less fights and more complicity in the service of Krishna Balarama.

She is very good packaging the books we sell.

HpS - Our respects to her!!! We only hope we can serve her. She is a very great person.

My son Vrindavan is in his first year university studying chemical engineering.

Marta´s father left his body so she is occupied solving all the administrative stuff.

Our garden keeps providing big percentage of our daily meal.

ASA - Also Meals for Moles?

We also have two bee hives and got some 5 Kg of honey for Krishna and Balarama.

Well Thats all for now

Please, Let me know if I can serve you in any way

Your fallen servant

HpS - We only want to find a little place in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan. Maybe you can introduce ideas like BG Chapter 10 to your students. Specific energetic incarnations. Among beasts I am the lion... vibutimat sattva.

Thank you.

Thanks to the happy smile professional.

My dear Maharaja,

Namaste! Jai SriRam!

I am struggling to convince my kids about creating regular meditation habit. So these days I have been contemplating a lot on “why one should meditate?”. 

As soon as we are born, it is guaranteed that we will die. But we don’t prepare ourselves on how to die. At the time of death, there won’t be any person or object outside with the person who is dying. Death is totally inner experience. Death means that body and senses have shut down i.e. no outside experience. 

One needs to be comfortable with one's own being at the time of death. For criminals, solitary confinement is the worst punishment. It is because most people are not at peace within their own being. We don't know for how long but we are sure to be without outside world at the time of death. For some, senses and body may weaken for months or weeks or for some it may be hours or minutes. But we will have to rest in one's our being in the end.

Meditation is method by which one rests in one's inner being. Meditation is being comfortable with our own being. It is preparation for death. 

After I was coming with this answer, I was reminded of the purpose of Bhagavatam and the questions of Parikshit. Parikshit asked the same question to Sukadeva about how one should die. Bhagavatam is answer to that question of how to die in right way.

Srimad Bhagavatam chapter 12/5 is the final conclusion of Parishit's question about how to die.

Regards,

Gaurav Mittal

HpS - ASA - Thank you. AGTSP! I read the chapter summary on vedabase.io. Was very nice, but Sukadeva Goswami's first answer is also very nice: https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/2/1/11/

The verses before it highlight the comment.

"Hare Krsna". Hope the Kapi Dhvaja and our Blog posts can help you in this endeavor!!!

The K Dh is up at: http://www.jayarama.us/news.htm

No one has suggested a new Distribution List now that Yahoo groups have gone, so we will just post it here, Twitter and Radha Natabara Whatsapp group.

Thank you.
