Hare Krsna dear Guru Maharaja

AgtSP

PAMHO

I`m very happy, I fell that this year that is coming to an end was more than beneficial fro my spiritual life and my material life, at the start in January I was quite exciting for my new life in Germany, I got a work in a honey company called "Madhu" and I lived with a devotee called "Ananda Vardhana" which is very funny once you realize that both my dad and the company of my dad have the same name.

But that emotion went away fast and very quickly, one of the first things that I discovered was that for me is very important to have family or people "like" family around me, otherwise I fall in a a sort of depression, and those three months working under that company and living (by that time I was renting another place just living with non-devotees) alone was hard, German winter is not famous for being kind to human beings, In April my happiness came back with Sun and the cold winter was over.

After that I also started to realize more deeply what is my Varna, that realization came when I discovered that I can`t work or put myself under someone that I don`t respect or appreciate,

and the owner of that company was neither of those and therefore working there was exceptionally hard for me.

I keep that job till legal end that I was allowed to work (six months) and right after that I went to a Ratha Yatra in Berlin, was amazing I love Lord Jagannatha, he always is with me and he always take care of me, he is my best friend and the most dear person in my life, after that I traveled to Portugal with an Erasmus program funded by the European Union. (Basically that Union pays to young people to travel free to many places that the program covers.)

The wife of Ananda (her name is Kanu Priya) is directing and organizing some of those projects and she kindly invited me to travel there. There I meet Lalita and all the drama after wards.

And after everything naturally ended I went to live in a temple in the south of Germany, close to the border with France Goloka Dhama, they have a wonderful place there, with beautiful deities and excellent devotees. I`m still in love with that holy place but now the separation is stronger. that happened in the month of September. I made a lot of devotee friends there and my devotion was renewed after having some devotees of my age around. That experience made me wonder why there is so few devotees of my age in general. During that time also I discovered more about my Varna while i was having a conversation with a Brahmacari, to not make it too long basically I was telling the problems in certain aspects of ISKCON and how to solve them, I asked him "you never thought how to solve this and that?" thing that he asked "Never usually I think on them and I just pray" for what I remember and well also other realizations but they can wait in another letter, but in a short resume I discovered that most likely I have some strong Ksatrya nature.

After it I went to live in a temple in France, New Mayapur, also a very nice place but organize by French people, so as you can imagine every thing is open to debate. The deities are wonderful, the people and the place also, is actually a Castle and use to be a medieval one till the family of knights that lived there made some heavy remodulations and after was sold to the devotees. I stayed there till the first or so of November.

Then Spain and Back to Chie were I'm staying at the moment with my family, I'm doing Sankirtan to maintaining myself and giving some of the most needed literature in this planet and this time.

I`m quite happy now seeing in which aspects I improved from last year and having more clear which ones I can improve now, also de idea and opportunity is for taking second, and I'm also seeing the chance of being a online teacher of languages.

I discovered an attraction that I have for photography and writing, I hope you could read what I have done till now. I will try to attach some pictures.

I'm very happy to be able to see you soon.

Hoping that your body is in good shape I hope to see you soon Narottama Dvija Das.

HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Is long but nice.

Srila Prabhupada is making us heros.

Hare Krsna.

Very interesting to hear your news.

Is 12.45am here in Tennessee. Must start 16 rounds before Mangala arati.

Every day is battle to serve Krsna, no?

Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja

PAMHO AGTSP

Thank you, Gurudeva, for not letting go of my hand.

This past time has been very difficult for me. My doctor changed my medication, and that caused a health crisis.

This time it was as if I were fighting the devil himself in my head, with many doubts, confusion, and a struggle to maintain my sadhana.

But here I am, as the song "The Patient" by Tool says, "But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith."

I can see my limitations, and I am discovering what my service will be from now until I leave this body.

My obeisances, Gurumaharaja.

Piyari Mohan das.

In your head or in the room?

We experience the same weather as others in our town.

If it is sunny and clear.

Raining and Grey.

If you are fighting devils, it benefits others in the same mental world, no?

Helps Gaura Nitai.

Thank you.

Hope you get good association.

Devotees read this and contact you appropriately.

Hare krsna Gurudeva Dandavats 🙏

I would like to share this song composed by Locana Das Thakur and sung by Srila Prabhupada

Lochan Das Thakur has written this song “Vrajendra Nandana Bhaje Jei Jana”. In this song, Lochan Das Thakur describes the significance of the one who worships Lord Krsna.

(1)

vrajendra-nandana, bhaje jei jana, saphala jivana ta’ra,

tahara upama, vede nahi sima, tri-bhuvane nahi ara

(2)

emana madhava, na bhaje manava, kakhana mariya jabe,

sei se adhama, prahariya yama, raurave krmite khabe

(3)

ta’ra-para ara, papi nahi chara, samsara jagat-majhe,

kona kale ta’ra, gati nahi ara, michai bhramiche kaje

(4)

sri locana dasa, bhakatira asa, hari-guna kahi likhi,

hena rasa-sara, mati nahi ja’ra, ta’ra mukha nahi dekhi

1) That person who worships Vrajendra-nandana makes his life successful. In the three worlds there is none equal to Him. The Vedas cannot completely describe His glories.

2) Whoever fails to worship that Sri Madhava is taken to Yamaraja after death and put in the hell called Raurava-loka (where he is eaten alive by worms and insects). There is no one as sinful as him.

3) Since there is no greater sinner than he throughout the universe, he cannot be delivered at any time but continues to wander, performing temporary materialistic activities that result in suffering.

4) Sri Locana dasa states, "Only by my desire to obtain bhakti am I able to describe Sri Hari’s qualities. I never wish to see the face of that person whose intelligence is not fixed on Vrajendra-nandana, the very essence and embodiment of all rasa.

Rapid, eternal progress going back home, back to Godhead.

Hare Krsna,dear gurudeva ,please accept my humble Obeisances and All glories to Srila Prabhupada 

Guru Maharaja,i am so eager to share my experiences in Vrindavan with you.

I have stayed in Vrindavan for 2 months. Such a great blessing for me to be there . India is really total different world for me .And Sri dham Vrindavan is above it. It's a very different and new world.With my prabhuji 's help and arrangements,I settled down in there. Going to temple to attend mangala arati,guru puja,having Srimad Bhagavatam'classes,attending Kirtana afternoon ,joining yatras…24hour is not enough in Vrindavan. More than that,Prabhuji is extatic doing parikrama in the early morning. We do Vrindavan parikrama as long as we are available. He also does Govardhana Parikrama.We did my first time Govardhana Parikrama together. It took 5 hours from 2am to 7am .it's a little struggling for me.I hope to get more mercy to do it more next time visiting Vrindavan. It's a blissful association with the disciples of Srila prabhupada. I met some of them i have been listening to their classes like DaiviShakti mataji,Urmila mataji,Sruta Kirti prabhuji,Radhanath Swami etc. During the time staying,i had been sick seriously for half month,heavy cough. I could not sleep and eat.No treatments and herbal medicines could help.Somehow i took 2 heavy Western pills ,normally half is enough for one adult.I was better next day.I thought I couldn't get through it .

Vrindavan is a real fun place.I really love the mother cows and feeding them.The squirrels and pigeons are fed so fatly by the neighbours. And the dogs will listen to you pricking theirs ears.Just the monkeys are naughty,I couldn't wear my glasses when I am out.But living there is still not easy thing to excute.I hope i could get your blessings to be there.

It's very difficult to get India tourist visa.There is no tourist e-visa for Chinese. We were planning to go back India January. And your Holiness also will travel to India.But it's still difficult to get visa.We have to give up it.

Guru Maharaja,please give me more instructions to serve you and Lord Caitanya's mission

HpSwami ASA - Hare Krsna.

Are you all able to read the Vrndana Dhama Mahimamrta that we cite in the anveSaka group.

It is listed as "vdm" in our archives at our website, www.jayarama.us.

Your husband seems to be good Guru for all of us. See how he does Gaura kirtan and think how you can help with your nature and abilities.

As long as we are chanting Hare Krsna we are advancing Lord Caitanya's movement.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja

Hare Rama

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept our sincere obeisances

Pride in the carpenter's mutilations… has rendered the furniture's features useless.

The emphasis on authorship has hijacked the genuine surrender of the poet and his poetry.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

El orgullo por las mutilaciones del carpintero… ha vuelto inútil las prestaciones del mueble.

La importancia por la autoría, ha secuestrado la rendición genuina del poeta y su poesía.

Gracias¡¡ Gracias¡¡ Gracias ¡

ASA/TB-BW 🐵 🐖 It is difficult for us to evaluate the Opera without knowing the language, but taking little samples, it seems to be nice.

Without getting the mercy of Gaura-Nitai, difficult to enter Rasa lila.

Thank you for all your wonderful answers. They are my treasure.

We have just finished reading the last verses of the gita to complete my recitation of Gita Jayanti, and we just read about the meaning of Vyasa Puja. Please bless us so that we may offer You a fitting and pleasing offering to Your lotus heart🙏👣🪷🎵💖

You just told us that the body doesn't get sick. The body is a disease. Whenever I hear this, I like to know that I have nothing to do with this body. But I want to tell you that for us, Your body is also our refuge, and it is spiritual. We can see how wonderful You are and how You inspire us with every gesture. Thank you for all the great mercy of Your programs. Sometimes when I read something very powerful on Anvesaka, we feel like responding... Is it okay to sometimes respond there? Or do You prefer this medium? All we want is to please Your heart.

HpS/ASA - All respects to you and your esteemed husband, son, neighbors and community!

anveSaka would be good for short, short responses, occasionally.

Here is good for longer comments!

All in proportion of Sankirtan!!

always hoping to please him:

JPJR Devi Dasi🙏👣🪷🎵💖
