HpS - Muchas gracias, Senyor Patraka Das y Hermana de Patraka Das et al. Your quick accion on this is changing the world. SB 10.47.63. We are going now to print a hard copy so that we can meditate on it.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj

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

Guru Maharaj thank you so much for replying to my letter and annual report. I feel very lucky and blessed to get your association through letters. Eagerly Waiting for day when I will get an opportunity to see you in person. Awaiting for the day when you will be coming to our house and give us an opportunity to serve you.

Guru Maharaj I am chanting sixteen rounds daily and following four regulative principles. I have started reading Bhagavatham and I have finished reading 7th Chapter of the 1st Canto. We are reading Bhagavatham Canto 3 and Nectar of Devotion together and completed 8 Chapters. Due to Pandemic situation Temple Activities are minimised...still i get an opportunity to see Sri Radha Kalachandji on Wednesdays as I have Tulasi Seva.

Guru Maharaj by your mercy I have started doing Bhakti Shastri with HG Arudha Mataji...and also finished studying Nectar of Instruction and gave the exam on the same. Now we are doing Isopanishad. I remember you giving instruction to me "Get ready for second initiation". Hopefully I complete Bhakti Shastri and get ready for 2nd Initiation. Eagerly waiting to dress the deities in the temple and cook for them.

Guru Maharaj you told me read Japa Joe. I have read the same. It is so wonderful that you have summarised the important of chanting in the just 18 pages. Its an amazing book Guru Maharaj. One thing which got nailed in my mind is the example which you mentioned, which states KRISHNA will appear the same way as you chant. If you chant attentively hearing every syllable Krishna will appear in a beautiful way. But if you are not properly saying the syllables Krishna will appear ugly. Guru Maharaj you wanted me to help in the book. I have never done book editing but by your causeless mercy i will be able to do it. Please guide me as to how i can be of any help. I will be very fortunate to be at your service...

Yours Humble Servant

ASA - O.K. See if you think it needs editing. I was thinking maybe a few more: Return of the Joe, Japa Joes Goes to Harvard; Japa Joe's Last Bead; Son of the Joe.....

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP PAMHO

Gurudeva, during this Quarantine period I could realize how everything has become so distorted.

I work in 2 universities. But the pressure that one has over us. It is just insane. Sadly, education has become a business. The universities do not want to educate anymore. They are just thinking in the profit they can gain.

HpS - ASA --- Yes! Bhakta-das Das, my first temple president told Srila Prabhupada, "Sankirtan is the best business!" and Srila Prabhupada said, "Yes, but don't make it a business".

So, I was wondering if you can recommend me one devotee who can help me in thinking about what business can I perform which can help to spread KC. My house is pretty big. I can take advantage of it.

Please tell me who can I approach. The other day I was working from 7:15 am to 5pm that was totally insane. We have fill 💯 forms with lots of different formats. People are losing the real perspective. I do not want that for my soul. I hanker activities that nourish my soul.

I love to teach but nowadays I am very stressed and unhappy.

In Spanish we have a phrase. Somos SERES humanos no HACERES humanos.

I would love to live by the sea.

Thanks in advance Gurudeva

Trying to be your disciple

HpS - By the arrangment of the Great God Gopal who lives in the Sky that is the topic of our NOI class tonight! See you there, Pujari ji.

Hare Krisna Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP and its faithful followers.

I hope this letter finds you very enthusiastic. Here we continue well with some variations due to the virus. I turned sixty and now because I am from a "risk group" I don't have to go to work until the "Alarm State" ends.

I think that I will not go back to work anymore, since on May 6 I start the holidays until May 31, which is retirement day. I am reading more and singing the rounds with a little more quality (it is still insufficient).

We continue to do Sat Sanga on Fridays by Skipe and on Tuesday afternoons we also meet to read available Sat Sanga members. I had to lend my computer to Nimai (my son) since both he and Sarasvati are following the online school classes. So everyone is with a computer.

They (the children) are in Madrid with my in-laws until the confinement ends and Purnamasi, who works online, and I am at home.

I have heard some kind of Saturdays with the Purnamasi connection. I hope I can adjust my time to hear the May number possible. Well, I think it is the longest letter I have written, so I leave other topics for another time.

May your sankirtan be a source of ecstasy for you and that many people can benefit from it.

Your inept servant

Jayanta das

P.S. I just changed the title of the letter adding Gismo 11 so as not to write a new one.

HpS - Thank you for the news!!! And all your help! Thank you.... We can't let anything impede our Sankirtan. HOld on to the lotus feet of Krsna very tightly and we will never experience an obstacle to the forward progress of our minds, nor will our senses be degraded by contact with matter. More letters to read. Let us go!

Dear Guru Maharaja

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

We just completed our move in to our new house and celebrated our first festival here. Divya Sri dressed Nitai Navadwipcandra beautifully and made a nice feast for Nrsimhadeva.

By your mercy, we are ready to start the Bhakti Sastri course in Dallas. We opened registrations on Sunday at 10 a.m and within 15 mins, our capacity of 20 seats were filled. There is lots of interest in the yatra here. We want to start small and then expand in a scalable manner.

We are starting with NoI and are starting the first class on 17-May-2020, Sunday, between 3pm-5pm. Till congregation is allowed in the temple, we are going to have it online.

Please bless us so that we can please Srila Prabhupada and Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji and Their devotees with this endeavor.

I got a message from Sucarya Mataji, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada who lives in Dallas, that she wanted me to pass on to you. Below is the message she sent me to pass it on to you after listening to your class on Sita Navami.

Hare Krishna. Listened to a conference today where you G M was speaking.He made very good points from a scientific standpoint.

Ladies always need protection and I feel the men are very respectful and very encouraging in our devotional services .

Thank you. Just say that I really appreciated his words. they were brilliant. And very Krishna conscious thank you.

Your servant

HPS - Thank you. ! We experience that a LOT of devotees join, but then there is a pretty good atrition rate. Try to help them but don't be discouraged if not everyone is first class!!
