[2/20, 11:55 AM] Balimardana Das: Maharaj - would you join as a guest speaker for Bhakti Vaibhav second batch on March 3rd Sunday 6:30 am pst ? 30 mins is good enough and this batch just finished canto 1 into chapters 6 —- thank you maharaj.

[2/20, 3:47 PM] HP Swami - Prof HHR: Always, agtSP, nice to get your association! 

😎

Can we make it Bilingual?

We have a very substantial weekly SB workshop at the same time.

They could, would like to, join the same time.

[2/20, 3:51 PM] HP Swami - Prof HHR: Even more important, our physical condition is becoming more erratic day by day.

So, could we have an alternative speaker ready if HpSwami has a mechanical failure at the time of the Class? 

🤔

[2/20, 3:51 PM] HP Swami - Prof HHR: Hare Krsna. Hare Rama 🙂

Dandvat pranam Maharaj [HpSwami]). All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada.

By your blessings I sure will look forward for your guidance and association in our next birth on Nabadvipa dham.

You are just like light house in vast material ocean. A lighthouse guides ships in ocean, you are guiding me for safe and quick journey back to Krishna lok.

I was just talking to my sister Uttama-gopi devi dasi. She moved back to Bombay to look after my parents. She told me about HH Radhanath Maharaj and his conversation with great South Indian astrologer.

So far all of his predictions come true.

So Maharaj ask him to make prediction about Maharaj.

To that he responded nobody can predict about ISKCON's devotees. They are under direct care of Bhagavan Krishna.

For devotees Krishna decides. 

I thought I should share with you.

HpS-ASA 😐🐒🐒🦍 . 🐷

It certainly matches with my individual experience with devotees.

'diksa kale...' at time of Diksa, Durga passes the strings of our Karma to Radha.

So, our destiny in Guna-karma goes on in many ways just the same eg. You have same gender before and after the Svaha... but now Radha uses it in the Sankirtan Movement and to guide us to more advanced service!

OK 👍

agtSP.

TB

& BW here.

Brother Ass is a disaster!

Sore throat. Still some blood leaking from surgery.

Right eye blurred from blocked drainage duct.

Barely any mobility.

Etc. etc.

5.06PM.

One festival after another!

V-puja H. G. Radha-krsna Das today.

Whole Houston community turned out.

We spoke first and then had to run away.

Upendra Das visited.

Sit in our half sofa and read and answer letters.

So, nice.

Now

We go to

hell

for a while

and chant

Hare Krsna.

ISKCON Hell is

better than

the

Brahma jyoti!

Thank you!!'

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.

hps/asa - lettuce feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. [!]

All glories to you Guru Maharaja. 

Guru Maharaja, I have opened my X account and followed you and I am now seeing your every post on X, it’s all by your mercy upon this fallen servant of yours.

I am also regularly reading Kapi Dhvaja facebook group updates and attending your classes too on GoToMeeting and ASA Carnaval (either by live or after the live session). 

HpS - Please help us become pure devotees!

Guru Maharaja, I have requested many disciples of yours from Tripura, Manipur and Assam to regularly read your monkeywarrior blog posts. They were really unaware about submitting the annual disciples’ reports. They have submitted the reports very lately by somehow or other. I was also unaware about submitting the report because of my negligence of reading the blogposts regularly before.

HpS - We try to communicate it clearly before initiation. 💪🐵

Please kindly forgive me for that.

My mother Padamashri Devi Dasi doesn’t know English and she also doesn’t have any idea about using Email, Blogs, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc.

Because of that her annual disciple report was submitted from my sister Ratnavali Devi Dasi’s account in the last week of January.

My mother Padamashri Devi Dasi, my sisters Kalpalatika Devi Dasi, Ratnavali Devi Dasi, Sachimata Devi Dasi, my cousin sister Rupamanjari Devi Dasi, my neighbor grihastha devotee Indravahan Das and myself, Manjuali Devi Dasi, we all are your disciples.

HpS - Even if we fall down, like Maharaja Bharata et al. Please do not desist to be a disciple of Srila Prabhupada who is associate of Gauranga, no?!

Indravahan prabhu’s annual disciple report was submitted very lately from my account because he also doesn’t know English and doesn’t have any idea about using Email, Blogs, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc. I am humbly requesting you Guru Maharaja to kindly include all of us in your disciple’s list. 

HpS/ASA - I think Krsna has already done it, and we will try to do it also!

Very nice community. Seems Krsna may glorify you in front of the whole world.

I am continuing Srila Prabhupada’s book distribution (2-3 times a week) regularly, Guru Maharaja. Recently, I have distributed Bhagavad-gita Bengali (3 copies), NOI Manipuri (8 copies) and other 3 small books. 

HpS - Boom! Boom! Boom! 😁

Guru Maharaja, because of my stupidity and laziness, I was not giving time for reading Srila Prabhupada’s books before. However, after keeping in touch with you regularly through the Blog posts and classes, I am now regularly reading Krishna book, Srimad Bhagavatam and Prabhupada Lilamrita with some other devotees through conference call over mobile phones.

I am reading Prabhupada Lilamrita on a devotee’s insistence. That devotee said if we read Lilamrita, our love for Srila Prabhupada would be increased a lot. Is it ok to read Srila Prabhupada Lilamrita Guru Maharaja?

HpS - It is super. It is different than Srila Prabhupada's direct books. You have to just understand that and then it is perfect window on to Srila Prabhupada.

Actually you are living Lila-amrta.

Guru Maharaja, my greatest weakness is my mode of ignorance. This is affecting my sadhana a lot, daily routine and seva of Gaura Nitai. How to overcome this, Guru Maharaja? Please kindly guide me on this matter. 

HpS - Bhisma say, "By prowess! Rising up!". Just open your mouth and say, "Krsna, Krsna, Hare Hare"!

Then go on!

Gradually, Sattva guna becomes our habit.

Even though I am unfit for your Vapu and Vani seva, still I have strong desire and love for rendering my humble services at your lotus feet.

Whenever and wherever, Guru Maharaja is in India, please kindly allow me to render some Vapu seva of yours.

Please bless me Guru Maharaja so that I am able to follow your Vani very rigidly.

I am a teacher by profession.

I get very minimum holidays in a year.

Despite that, I will make myself available for serving your Vapu whenever and wherever Guru Maharaja is in India. This is my humble desire. 

Thank you Guru Maharaja. Please give me Krishna prema in this lifetime. Hare Krishna. 

Your humble servant

Manjuali Devi Dasi

Kaptanpur, Sichar, Assam, India

HpS - Krsna, Subhadra Devi, will make all the wonderful arrangements for our physical circumstances, meetings etc in Krsna Consciousness.

We just appreciate them as they happen.

Join us!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

You are always happy, because you always remain in the service of Prabhupada.

HpS - 🐵

😆

... We have sutures hanging out of our mouth. Too much fat hanging on our belly. Uncomfortable seat but we have a little bubble of relief by doing some mixed service that Srila Prabhupada may make useful and then we can get POWER IN OUR SOUL!

💪

🎉

I have been able to maintain the sadhana of Mangala Arati by the mercy of Krishna.

HpS - Super guy! AgtSP. For 48-minutes, each day, B. Muhurta, the door to cleaning and activating our heart opens up. Get to work!

I continue preaching through WhatsApp, it has been very effective, it is something that I would like to replicate in the congregation when possible.

From time to time I set up a table with books in the Plaza de Cabildo, I do a kind of bhajan with my kartalas, but now I'm going to try doing it with music from a speaker and see how people react. I also do sankirtan person to person when I go out of Cabildo.

There are several persons in Cabildo who are interested, they are reading Prabhupada's books and chanting the Maha Mantra, but I am detached from whether they become devotees or not, since the final decision is always the person's.

HpS - We like when they read TLC or CC!!

For my part, I am a devotee who introduces people to Krishna consciousness and helps them in their first steps. For a deeper understanding, we have a program every Thursday via Zoom to study the Bhagavad Gita by Bhakta René, a Very capable and erudite devotee, he is a good teacher.

HpS/ASA - 🐷

👍

👍

👍

I remain a friend to the people I meet in sankirtan and always strive to encourage people to chant the Maha Mantra.

On the other hand, I will soon begin to publish on my social networks and there I will begin to publish my music, I hope it will be a successful preaching program and that it will be maintained over time.

Thank you Gurudeva, from the bottom of my heart.

Your servant

Piyari Mohan Das

HpS/ASA - How is your Devil Mind 👺

who sometimes creeps out and runs amok???

Thank you so, so much for not giving up and setting an example for all of us in going forward, NOI 3.
