Dear Maharaj, PAMHO! AGTSP!

Hare Krishna from Sacramento.

Please watch: https://youtu.be/Bw-MhN90bVk

From your primary siksa guru, Hansdutta Prabhu have you met him recently?

HpS - Been in transit! Hansadutta Das is one of our primary Siksa gurus. 🙂 I watched the video. Its nice but I think we have discussed all these points before.

I had a conversation with him and recorded it for your you above, Hansdutta says nobody in Iskcon is guru, that means HPS is only a formalities guru not the diksa guru. Srila Prabhupada only appointed ritviks, and confirmed by Puri Maharaj.

HpS - 😀 again I think we have discussed Alok this before.

And finally this:

ISKCON GBC ritviks discussion - will most likely be approved IN 2020!

Whats HPS view on this you accept or need further discussion?

Please note to HPS disciples: I hope you boys and gals aren’t offended by my questions to HPS. My intention is to establish Srila Prabhupada and strengthening people’s connection with Srila Prabhupada this is seriously lacking because the gurus don’t educate disciples to accept Srila Prabhupada as diksa and siksa guru both. I see my questions has raised some doubts or questions among HPS disciples that is HPS really a diksa GURU or only siksa GURU. My opinion is he is only officiating and siksa guru after the ceremony HPS becomes your god brother essentially.

Now comes the part of tṛṇād api sunīcena!

HpS - Jaya! Again. Again. Again. These are all things we have discussed here before. I hope our opinion is clear. We go on discussing it but for us you are not presenting anything new, so we are happy to talk in person some time but we seem to have exhausted this forum sad much as possible in terms of mutual understanding.

AgtaSP! Sixteen good rounds, four principles strictly.

Dear Maharaj,

Hare Krishna

PAMHO AGTSP AGTY

Thank you so much for the reply Maharaj.

For the Festival next year I will look into how to incorporate the four regulative principles and 16 rounds. Also Japa. These are of course a top priority in Srila Prabhupada's process and we should find away to include them in the festival. Thank you for this Maharaj.

Yes, Maharaj. The mercy from Krsna and Srila Prabhupada by following the process is very kind. I can see I am making some progress. I thank you for the encouragement to do so. I thank you and Srila Prabhupada for this mercy. Please bless me that I may chant my rounds with more attention in hopes to please Krishna.

Maharaj, As far as initiation. I am a little perplexed. I have been given some different advice and would like to know from you what you would like me to do. Anatarupa Prabhu and few others have suggested going to Huston as I shouldn't hesitate for such an auspicious occasion. However, I have also been encouraged to wait until your visit to Boise in January / February. Thus my family can attend including my mother. Also my friends here in Boise could attend. Please advise me on what you think is best and what I should do. I will do that.

HpS - Boise!

Maharaj, Would it be appropriate now to address you as Guru? Also should I be using your Pranama mantra? Please advise me.

HpS - Pranav mantra is fine now. If you see me as representative of Srila Prabhupada as our Guru then I think gurudeva is tasteful.

All glories to the Sankirtan movement!

Haribol!

Bhakta Nathen

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

HpS - Lettuce feet at best. AgtSP! Paoho.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Just got enrolled for the Bhakti Shastri online course starting tomorrow. We did a preliminary with HH Haridas Goswami Maharaj last year. This online course will take a little over a year to complete. Two classes a week. Thank you Guru Maharaj for the wonderful arrangement!

HpS - Who is organizing it?

We still read Ganong like we say..bread and butter of Physiology. Guyton, Best and Taylor , Ganong are our standard books besides others!!

We distributed 50 copies of BG with lots of love and inspiration. Thank you Guru Maharaj for giving the wonderful taste of book distribution.

We read the BG together with Brighumuni Das Prabhuji and a young aspirant Satyajit on the occasion of Gita Jayanti.

We still continue with the pastimes of Lord Varaha every morning...we are so fallen...in the dirtiest of abominable places..we keep praying for Your mercy dearest Guru Maharaj. You are our Lord Varaha....

What special item should we offer to our Deities on the 73rd Vyasa puja of our spiritual master. Kindly enlighten us Guru Maharaj.

HpS - For us best offering is something we can offer to Srila Prabhupada to offer to the Parampara. Pray to Krsna to know what He wants!

We entered this stage on January 12, 1948, so this is our 72nd birthday anniversary.

Your ever ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

Dear Guru Maharaja:

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

To inform you that we organize a proposal among several spiritual brothers, which would be the basis for a meeting.

Happy arrival to Mexico. All glories to Srila Prabupada!

HpS - AgtSP. Paoho. Yes we got it. We also had the nice meeting yesterday with the Psychologist! When can we meet? We were thinking during the retreat in Cuernavaca and also before the Sunday festival. One basic principle is separating the functions of Diksa guru from our Sankirtan work.

Estimado maestro espiritual, acepte mis rendidas reverencias. Estoy muy contento por su próxima visita. Con relación a la carta anterior siento mucho no haberla escrito de manera adecuada. Creo que lo más prudente es tener una propuesta concisa basada en las necesidades que como hermanos espirituales hemos podido expresar, que responda a nuestras inquietudes por mejorar la organización; a través de comités y equipos de trabajo que nos permitan no limitar el potencial y el entusiasmo de servicio. En general estamos motivados por lograr esta propuestas, a la que se suma Prabhu Jagad Bandhu. Así que hoy tendremos una reunión en la que se hará a un lado la crítica.

               En lo que se refiere a mí, he tenido que retirarme del servicio en el templo desde el mes de septiembre, esto debido a que en el trabajo se me han incrementado las responsabilidades. Este año ha sido así. Por otra parte, he estado dibujando y tengo una propuesta al respecto para el servicio a Krishna. Espero que se dé la ocasión de comentársela y que sea algo con lo que usted pueda estar complacido.

               Me despido.

               ¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabupada!

               ¡Jay Gurú y Gouranga!

Dear spiritual master, accept my rendered obeisances. I am very happy for your next visit. In relation to the previous letter, I am very sorry that I did not write it properly. I think that the most prudent thing is to have a concise proposal based on the needs that as spiritual brothers we have been able to express, that responds to our concerns to improve the organization; through committees and work teams that allow us not to limit the potential and enthusiasm of service. We are all motivated to achieve this proposals, to which Prabhu Jagad Bandhu joins. So today we will have a meeting in which criticism will be set aside.

As far as I am concerned, I have had to retire from service in the temple since September, this is because my job responsibilities have increased. This year has been like this. On the other hand, I have been drawing and I have a proposal in this regard for the service to Krishna. I hope you have the opportunity to discuss it and be something that you can be pleased with.

I leave.

¡All glories to Srila Prabupada!

¡Jay Gurú y Gouranga!

HpS - Let us discuss this when we are in Mexico starting tomorrow. 🙂
