Hare Krishna Maharaja

PAMHO. AGTSP.

Maharaja, I am Balaram Kripa from India, I have a question for you.

A devoted friend recommended that I go to a ghost exorciser.

I once heard you say that it wasn't good to do that.

Do you think it would be wise for me to go and have the ghosts exorcised?

Thank you.

HpS/ASA - maya tatam idam sarvam .... under the direction of the spiritual master we can use everything for Krsna.

As far as I know there is actual potency and benefit in the work of some brahmanas in exorcizing ghosts, but you have to find one who is honest, competent and above all else a devotee!

Usually our regular Bhakti yoga is enough to deal with these things, but sometimes we need to eat special things (offered to Krsna) under the special diet of a special doctor.

Hari Bolo!!!

Please include us in you Sankirtan.

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. Thank you very much for your association in Houston; your presence always increases our enthusiasm in Krishna consciousness and gives us strength to continue serving.

For now, we continue working and serving here at the temple for the pleasure of Sri Sri Radha Vrindavan Candra. We would be honored to invite you, at some point, to visit the temple so we may receive your association directly.

HpS/ASA - We, agtSP, got a few moments of your association and Mataji. Thank you for the fruit.

I hope that any lectures, Kirtans etc that we individually gave were usefully for you.

I hope that the Houston Yatra was useful for you.

We try to be a part of the project here and so offer some service to you in that aspect.

I don't know if we will get to New Vrndavana but we are scheduled to go to Richmond, for Nrsmha Caturdasi for 9-days. At least we will be in the same time zone.

What is your service???

What is the Sankirtan of the Temple???

Thank you.

dandavat Pranam

all glories to Srila Prabhupad

all glories to your glorious service to Srila Prabhupad and inspiring devotees.

I am touched by your humility and simplicity , you are a living example , to setup a example of

how one should be humble than a blade a grass , without expecting any respect from others.

when I see you , I remember what Prabhupad said “ Simple living and high Thinking “

thabk you maharaj for your kindness

and being a exemplary for everyone.

HpS-ASA -- A simpleton when pretensions of high thinking.

Welcome, 🐒, to our ASA blog.

How can we serve your Sankirtan?

Who are you?

Paoho/bw.

One intense hour with Atul Krsna Das and Laksmana agraja Das and the Board of Examinations (BOEX) this morning.

Then another with the Iskcon Houston Director of Education, Radha Krsna Das et al.

Getting 25-rounds done many days.

Getting strong Sankirtan done many days, but the biggest room in the world is the room for self improvment.

1-hour of work, posting our quarterly calendar to our Red Book. Hope to publish it online next.

Looking at the Blog posts.

So, inspiring.

Listening to daily SB classes here in Texas.

Hari Bolo!

Please accept my humble obeisances eternally to your adorables lotus feet

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

And all Glories to You my adored Guru Deva!!

When this time comes, we always remember our beginning, our entry into the consciousness of Govinda

We will never forget that, before meeting you, we met Prabhu Kanupandit, who, while we were still unsure if this path was genuine, gave a class about Jesus! How wonderful! There we knew that this was the truest path we had been waiting to take, and we were able to release all the wonderful feelings evoked by being in such a marvelous association: the deities, serving them, the Vaishnavas, and the atmosphere created by all of this wonderfulness!

So, when we met you, we were extremely happy.

We especially remember a wonderful occasion during His visit to Peru

Once, when you were going to stay near the red house, the guesthouse of Mother Graciela, Girbhana Radha, she kindly invited us to clean and decorate the room where you were going to stay. I remember very clearly that while we were cleaning and decorating, we heard you arrive suddenly, and somehow there was a picture of Jesus in that room. Then I remember you touching the feet of the picture of Jesus with your danda and exclaiming, "Guru!" And then I saw you prostrate yourself with your full dandavats on the floor. I don't remember who I was with cleaning that small apartment for you that day, but, by the mercy of Krishna, when you arrived suddenly, we were still inside the room, and I could see your image prostrate before the picture of Jesus, and that was imprinted on my mind and on my understanding of the sublimity of Krishna consciousness.

As I have always loved Jesus and his parables and his teachings about the fleeting nature of life on this physical plane, and as I have always loved his teachings and loved living as simply as he taught us, I wanted to know the relationship between the Krishna consciousness movement and Jesus. That is why everything I am telling you has been magnificent to me. I had nothing more to look for! Jaya Gurudeva Jaya Srila Prabhupada!!!

Thank You, Gurudeva, for giving Christmas true meaning in my heart. Thank you for being who You are, a true Guru. May our kind, beautiful, and merciful Krishna always, always, always protect you. May this Christmas have been and continue to be wonderful for You.

I apologize for any unintentional offenses made in this letter, thank you for taking the time to read it, and I hope to serve you better each day, yesterday, today, and always ♾️ 💐 ♾️🪷

HpS/ASA - I, agtSP, had a similar experience with Srila Prabhupada.

Prabhupada's experience with Bh. Siddhanta was different, no?

Prabhupada was in the same cultural line as Bh. Siddhanta, followers of Lord Caitanya.

Interesting contrast between us and them.

Whole differenet vista.

Thank you.
