Hare Krsna Maharaj,

AGTSP

PAMHO

I have a question from Krsna book, chapter title - 'The story of the Syamantaka Jewel'.

In the 16th paragraph,it is mentioned that - "Jamabavan continued:"My dear Lord, the time factor which combines all the physical elements is also Your representative.""

What does the statement -'time factor which combines all the physical elements' mean? how does time combine physical elements? Generally from what i have heard in modern science, time is a fourth dimension taken along with the 3 dimensions of space but have not heard anything relating to this statement.

Hare Krsna!

HpS - ASA - AgtSP    Very nice question but it will take some time to answer. Vedic view of nature is much more mature than Western science. Even Nobel Laureates like Charles Townes appreciate it.

Start with read through of Lord Brahma's explantion. Available at the following link. Then get back to us if you so please by your mercy.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and your service unto him.

HpS - Paoho... and your service to Him, Lord Sri Krsna, parampara!

Reading your Kapi-dhvaja, I realized how much materialism I am stuck in. I also realized how transcendentally elevated you are that you are able to sustain yourself with such simple prasadam.

Brown and White - Popsicles are not everything there is in life, but afar as offerings to Lord Nrsmha Devi, we consider them far ahead of whatever is in second place.

Your austerity makes me realize how much attachment I have to tasty Prasad.

B/W - Cherry, Orange, Grape, Peach, Root-beer!

I also realized how hard you are working and that sannyasa does not mean just doing nothing but it means to render the greatest work for the Lord.

ASA - Hey, we are working, but loafing a lot too!

You are the perfect example of Bhagavad-Gita,

ASA - https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/16/11-12/

. . . the perfect renunciation where you are not wasting your time but you are using your time most efficiently in the service of the Lord.

I also realized that sincere Devotees like you have no worries about financial issues and rely completely upon the Lord who does provide and facilitates all your needs.

It is the duty of householders like us to serve the Sadhus like yourself both by financial and other services.

I also realized how merciful you are upon me and my wife and family. I am blessed to have your association through the Kapi-dhvaja. I just realized how important it is to associate with the spiritual master. I really look forward to your next visit to Houston so that we can again obtain your holy association.

I’m starting to realize how important it is to follow the instructions of the spiritual master and how simple the life of spiritual process is - simply follow the instructions of the spiritual master. The test of our spiritual progress is how well we are able to chant the holy names of the Lord and this is the test for how much we are detached from our material entanglements.

Thank you for providing the escape from this material misery through your holy association and literature.

Your aspiring Servant,

Aja Govinda Das

HpS/ASA - We are 77% pure bunk, and the rest is doubtful, but Srila Prabhupada is very, very, determined, so he can make a silk purse out of a sows beard!

What the Dickens are you teaching there? Molecular biology? Nanobots? How many Nanobots can dance on the point of a pen?

What does Mataji do???

Hare Krishna Maharaja

Please, first all, forgive me for all offenses I have been committed to you...

I'm writing to you to ask for your mercy, please Gurudeva... and because I've got an idea to resolve Wikipedia problem... the fact is that we need to publish another text (the wikipedia police just accept original writings exclusive to be published in that portal). So, my idea is that we can create that text. I can start writing questions about Professor Samaresh, like an interview, questions based on his biography in NIOS website. And, after, I can send that questions to you to be checked and maybe the same Professor or someone close to him could write the answers to that questions about life and legacy of Dr. Samaresh... and using this material we can create the new writing. I think this is the better choice we have to publish as soon as is possible. Please, give me another chance...

Your aspiring servant,

The Dumb Fallen One

HpS - Yes, just rewrite the text from the NIOS website and then we can add some things from his incredible retirement volume, Pracya-prajna-pradip. Thank you!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to HH . Hanumat Presaka Swami Guru Maharaj! Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet sweet sweet Lotus feet!

ASA - I guess if Srila Prabhupada mercifully gives His Lotus Feet to someone, then that person can be said to have sweet lotus feet. AGTSP!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

We discharged the last Corona positive patient just a couple of days back. Just 2 positive cases but had to put all the people under lockdown. As of now, Manipur becomes the first state in India to be COVID-19 free. Thank you Guru Maharaj. We are glorifying the Karuna virus...teaches us to revive our Vaishnava roots!

We had been conducting social awareness programme on the importance of using face mask, how to put it correctly, how to dispose, sanitisation....how to make sanitizer at home and social distancing. We distributed face masks and then prasadam....going house to house ...requesting them to stay home....chant...pray for all. In the lockdown and curfew...we are given curfew pass for doctors....so we get to attend mangal arti. We are attending SB classes...just 4 0r 5 of. We are in SB 3.20.8

Those on heavy duty....like the police...get to honour prasadam. They feel happy.

Today just after mangal arti we are going to distribute prasadam to whoever we find on the highway....the few we will find will be on emergency or essential services. We strictly follow the regulations of lockdown. HH Jaibhima Das Prabhuji and HH Ramanuja Das Prabhuji accompany us....we have a restriction that not more than 3 persons can travel in the car.

Encouraging our new aspirant Nilanda Ningthoujam to write to you dear Guru Maharaj....she was so happy to receive your reply last time.

Sending some photos .

We remember you all the time dear Guru Maharaj

Your insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Thank you for this news!! We drew a smile and monkey nose on our face mask! What are the first three biggest causes of death in USA every year?
