Oink! Oink!

Whoop! WHoop! ! BW/TB, here. Hare Krsna! The world is spinning out in to madness, but the Holy Names stay in the center!

G-3 Chanted very fast. Too fast. We are feeling a lot of agitation. Hard to sit still.

Great day.

Ony die 147 times. Usual it is five times that much.

Picked up the dried leaves and branches we cut this week. Put them in the can for the man.

Tried to change the tire on the Mercedes but the trunk would not open so we can't get the jack out...

There are no obstacles, just situations created by Krsna for His fun.

Class this morning was The Bhaktivedanta Library. We cleaned up our old Power Point show and added some final stuff. Now it is time to consolidate and leave things for the devotees that follow us.

Same happens too all of us. We may come back and use things we built, good or bad, in the next life time.

Show was very satisfying to us.

Recorded to nice audience and tried to send the link to Ambarisa Das and V.bhanu.n. Devi Dasi so they could post it.

SB is too big for one planet!

In the midst of all this, chanted 17-rounds today but still more to catch up.

Body is O.K.

Seems like every three days there is another novelty, screaming here or there. We like screaming. Part of the symphony.

See you in heaven!

That is in Sankirtan!!

AgtSP

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to HH Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj! Please accept our humble obeisances at Your glorious, sweet lotus feet!!

HpS - Still aspiring for lettuce feet. AgtSP!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Very very sorry for this late, late reply!

Last time we wrote about a certain mataji...Surjalata mataji who is so full of energy that we get immediately charged when she is with us! She also wrote to you Guru Maharaj. Maharaj has asked her where is her physical body located. Then on....with Your sweet mercy....things happened so fast ..that its so hard for the feelings to sink in!! Let me start the details....

One fine late evening....Mataji Surjalata called....crying...."help me"...."help me"....."you said you love me....then why is it that you don't pray to Krishna enough for me ..that I can't come out of my house to get darshan of Shri RadhaKrishnachandra? My entire family is all up against my going to the temple.....I want to get initiated"....then ...more tears!!

In despair..in happiness ..You are my only refuge dear Guru Maharaj...so You came to my mind....and You helped me always....so told Mataji Surjalata....lets us offer our obeisances to HH Bhakti Vyasa Teertha Maharaj. So next day we offered our obeisances to Maharaj....and miracles came flying....Maharaj gave initiation on that very day....in the first encounter....Maharaj gave the beads and gave her the name Sushila Sakhi Devi Dasi. The Yagya will be in Gaura purnima. Thank you Guru Maharaj.....Guru Maharaj once wrote to us that we will have many nice neighbours.....we can feel the magic.....

ASA - Very interesting!! AgtSP!!!!

With our biological father....we are in BG Chapter 5. Father says he has a fascinating impression on Karma Yoga. Says its so practical that he can relate to his life experiences. Father is running 90 years....today he said....we should continue this satsanga till the day he leaves his physical body....thank you Guru Maharaj for this amazing mercy.....

We continue attending mangalarati. We are in SB 3.22.36

ASA - More father and daughter.

Last time Guru Maharaj asked...how does Manipura smell?....Smells of lotus and fresh earth just after the rains....as of now...lots of fragrant tube roses.....magnolias

HpS - Here we also have lots of Magnolia. Very tall. Whole forest for Krsna!

...honeysuckles.....pagoda trees.....mogra....

It is liberating to make garlands for Krishna's bansuri everyday...Mataji Kunti DD gives me this service...and Radharani's floral hair band....too..

HpS - Wow! Just like Braja.

Every Sunday we visit few houses with Prasadam and NOI (manipuri) .

We wait for Guru Maharaj's sweet reply eagerly

Your insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Thank you for nice letter. I am sure all of our readers want to hear more and more about the Manipuri Vaisnava culture. What kind of Prasadam do you deliver? Here people are afraid of home cooked food, especially from an Oriental monk.

So, we get boxes of 100 1-ounce packages of Planter's Peanuts and offer them to our Lord. He seems like He might like them!

Their mascot is Mr. Peanut. He is maybe 100 years old in American culture. He has a graceful threefold bending posture, a third eye, and a danda!

We can leave a few package in the mail box for the mail man with a letter, a few packs to our bank...

Prasadam!!!!

More news of ISKCON Manipur. Manipuri Vaisnavism.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, reciba nuestras humildes y respetuosas reverencias.

Guru Maharaja, tuvimos unas conversaciones con Maharaja Yadunandana Swami y le pedimos que sea nuestro Siksa Guru, a lo cual Maharaja muy amablemente acepto.

Estamos alegres que Maharaja haya aceptado, pero Maharaja Yadunanda Swami nos pidió que le informemos a usted para obtener su autorización y bendiciones, ya que es muy importante tener su permiso.

Esperamos su respuesta Guru Maharaja..

Bueno Guru Maharaja, muchas Gracias, discúlpenos cualquier ofensa que hayamos cometido, que Nrsimha lo proteja mucho.

Hare Krsna!!!

ANJANA SUTA ACADEMY’S

O A T M E A L  R A I S I N  W A L N U T  C O O K I E S

Makes 400 small or 200 medium

                  2 ½ Quarts Rolled Oats                              2 ½ cups Water

                   9 cups of unbleached flour                      6 Tablespoons Ener-G Egg Replacer

                   7 ½ cups of cane sugar crystals               6 teaspoons of Cinnamon

                   7 cups of Raisins                                        6 tsp. Trader Joes non-Alcoholic Vanilla

                    3 cups of chopped Walnuts                      6 teaspoons of Baking soda

                    3 pounds of Butter                                     3 ½ teaspoons of Molasses

Place 3 pounds of diced, cubed butter in a 3 gallon mixing bowl and let soften.

Once soft, add 8 cups of sugar crystals and 3 ½ teaspoons of Molasses, mix thoroughly. (Best wear nitrile gloves and literally mix by hand)

Next, in a 1 quart measuring cup, add 2 ½ cups water, 6 1/8 teaspoons of liquid non-alcoholic Vanilla (Trader Joe’s has it) and 6 tablespoons of ENER-G egg replacer. Stir into a froth with mixer.

When mixed, pour froth into bowl of sugar & butter, then mix.

Next, in a 3 quart bowl, dry mix 9 cups of unbleached flour with 6 teaspoons of baking soda and 5 to 6 teaspoons of Cinnamon (depends on freshness). Then stir this mix into your mix of butter and sugar.

Now you have your batter done, now add 7 cups of raisins & 3 cups of Walnuts in. Once stirred in , slowly mix in the 18 cups (2 ½ quarts) of rolled oats.

After all is mixed in, let the dough settle for a few minutes, while this is going on you can dust your cookie baking trays with flour and rub butter on the (#24 1½ oz. or #70 ½ oz.) scoop servers.

Place each scoop about 2½ inches (for # 24) or 1½ (for #70) apart, then gently press down on to your baking trays. Place trays in a 350 degree preheated oven for 20 minutes (just a the raisins start to puff-up), then pull tray out, once cooled use spatula to remove cookies.

Once complete, offer the cookies with Love and serve all you can.

ASA (TB) - AgtSP paoho. That is a LOT of cookies! Only God could eat that many cookies! (UG) Basically the Formula is 10-parts oats, 10-wheat, 7.5-sugar, 6-butter, 2.5-water ...

We feel little better. Stomach feels... Hare Hare!

Feels like when we had ptomaine poisoning in Russia.

Ja! Ja! Ja! We went to Russia.

Our connection with material mind and intelligence is becoming more and more tentative.

Yet

We

Have to get friends in Goloka before we can give up Patala.

🙂

Hari bolo!

Couldn't do much mail or writing today. Some pretty amazing dreams though.

Such amazing people in this movement

And

The most amazing is the Founder!

El Aguila - Avíseme, hay preocupación por su salud entre los discípulos, Muchas gracias por todo GURUDEVA, HARIBOL!!

HpS - TlgaSP. Pfanrh. Somos bien. TlgaSP, pero Hermano Burro es muy bajo de energía. Garganta, estómago.

Y hay tendencia del Alma des asociar con el cuerpo y inteligencia. 🚀🚀🚀

En ISKCON, ASA, posible otras están en situación similar.

Hare Krsna. 🙂🦍🙂
