PAMHO

AGTSP

I'm Divya Dristi dd from Cusco Perú I was using the name Manjary but now I prefer to write you directly 🙏.

I'm staying in Cusco now,My plan is to live here,I ve rented un appartment,with two rooms, I have the proyect to invite women devotees to leave with me,to give clases of puppetts,theater and kirtan,to children and teenagers ,in the same appartment in the leaving rooms.

The idea is to ask a cover money for the lessons so this money could be used to pay the rent and other expenses like services and bhoga,and much more, to be it susteinable.

The appartment has all services, wifi,kitchen,one toilet with hot water,located in a good location central city, actually in this building there are a liders institute for children and teenagers in the first floor,so its a good location.the last week Prabhu Dinabhandhu from vrindavan and his servant came to Cusco to preach CK and they stayed in this appartment they liked it and Prabhu Dinabhandhu gave me his blessiings for this proyect.

QUESTIONS:

1._Which advises could you give me to make this plan work?

hps - the same always give. have you learned that yet? we smile as we ask.

2._Could you please help me to find two women devotees who would like to teach in Cusco and leave here? If they have experience teaching they can stay from one week to much more time.I could hellooo them.

HpS - Think laksmana or abhirama et al would 600 times better at that than us:

hope KRSNA sends people!!!

Thank you very much for your aswers.

Your servant

Divya Dristi dd.

Hare krsna my remenbered and beloved Gurumaharaja🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🏵🌷🌼🌻

Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🏵🌷🌼🌻🌹🌷✈️

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!!!

All glories to You!!!

I hope this finds you well and happy in your wonderful Govinda consciousness.

Please forgive me, the last time I entered Your wonderful FMP, I had to leave in a hurry because Franco warned me that it was time to break ekadasi and he took my phone, then (as always) I no longer had a signal and then my few days of connection ran out😊

I sent a letter to Him asking what He would like me to do for His Vyasa Puja. I am still waiting for His reply. I can celebrate His Vyasa Puja and birthdays all year round 😀🌹🏵🌷🌼🌻🙏

For now I tell you that I was able to know that the 1st day of the year was His sacred Vyasa Puja! So I made a simple puspanjali with many photos of Him and our beloved Srila Prabhupada! We offered flowers, incense and prayers (I don't have photos) but I repeated before His picture the same words that came from my heart and that I wrote in my annual report. I'm still worried. Were you able to read it? I didn't get a response from Him in my 2023 or 2024 annual report either and I wonder if you read them? I would be happy to know if that was the case, even if I don't have His merciful response🙏

Until I know what you would like me to offer you, I made a video singing Je Ringo Prema Dhana from Sri Narotama das Thakur. And another video explaining the meaning of this sublime song.

They are here:

I hope to always please You, Srila Prabhupada, and the Vaisnavas.

I'm still trying to figure out what it means: 🐎🚗✈️ ... should we travel ..? or should I move faster? ... please I would like to know. Excuse my lack of understanding.

I hope you had a beautiful Vyasa Puja celebration. I still long to cook and for You to eat. I'm not satisfied with just Your Photo. Even so, we only offered a Cake and some cookies to Your photo. But I still hope to have the opportunity to celebrate it better although I will never do it as You deserve.

Trying to please him forever:

hps - asa --- we read the annual reports, though slowly.

same, you can see by this letter that we try to answer all the blog posts!

big priority for us.

with the progressing glaucoma is more and more strain to look at the screen.

we just like sankirtan news,



PAMHO AGTSP! All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!!

HK Maharaj how are you!?

hps - asa - apparently, more blind and deaf each week.

heart is o. k.

dementia is not too bad.

self realization is going nicely. more and more chance to directly purify our self, atma, by japa, vaidhi bhakti.

Where are you? how’s your health doing? I’m sorry to ask this, I haven’t been reading any news about you lately.

hps - are posting here on the blog, twitter, gotomeeting.com, youtube.com [iskcon-houston].

maybe asa-carnaval?

i think you may be the third biggest fool in the universe, no? 😆😆😆😆😆

Here I’ve been experiencing certain difficulties in my spiritual life,

hps/asa - same here. same for radharani. 👍

having trouble with the 4 principles, and well my health hasn’t been going all that well, I’m getting this feeling of like pre nausea regularly. It’s more of an emotional thing caused by this situation with my daughter I’m dealing with. My ex partner blocked all communications with my family so we couldn’t talked to my daughter in months, and now it’s going to be 4 months since I don’t see her. I’m so sad some times.

hps - try nicely, not dog hard, then take it as KRSNA's arrangement and be assured that He is a better friend and criminal court judge than us.

I’m kind of tired of feeling this way. At least I’ve kept my rounds almost alive, couldn’t continue chanting the 16 because of my health condition, but at least I chant a minimum of 6.

I trying to do my best in other areas of my life, such as in playing sports or workout, I kept doing Hatha Yoga almost every day and started freestyle roller skating, which is helping me on losing weight.

I’m now in Buenos Aires, here I began attending to an English conversation club, where I can talk to English native speakers regularly and locals as well, and I’ve done some friends there, which I find to be a great thing.

I would really love to get my life back to normal, or better than normal.

Could you please give me any advice on this?

hps//asa - above... smile...

we put the japa as priority. KRSNA never punishes us for the time it takes for 16 sincere rounds.

Well thank you Maharaj for being there for me!

HK!

Federico

hps - send some pictures [of your self]



Todas las glorias para Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte nuestras humildes reverencias

Querido Guru Maharaj este año no escribí mi reporte anual pero todo está muy bien en mi sadhana👍. prabhu Hari Cakra está viviendo en Monterrey y el domingo pasado nos visitó prabhu Deena Bandhu la sala de predica del Restaurante contó historias muy lindas sobre Vrndavan, buena audiencia y convivencia. También ese día mi hijo mayor Jay salió muy entusiasta a sankirtan con Gadadhar fue un buen resultado.

Quería preguntarle si es apto para los principios (no intoxicación) el consumo de CBD cannabidiol pure oil (cannabis sativa) en casos de tratamiento médico como en mi caso la epilepsia estoy buscando opciones naturales de tratar mi caso neurológico.

Nueva Govardhan se encuentra bien Nandita se encuentra muy bien cuidada🐄

, también recibimos a una devota mayor para vivir a una casa de nuestro hogar entonces tenemos vecinos devotos jeje todos los días la madre Krishna tattva lee Krishna book con mi hijo mayor Jay Govinda, es una buena vida en el campo en conciencia de Krishna.

No deseo quitarle mas su valioso tiempo así que me despido su sirviente Anandamaya Devi dasi

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept our humble obeisances

Dear Guru Maharaj, this year I did not write my annual report, but everything is going very well in my sadhana👍. Prabhu Hari Cakra is living in Monterrey and last Sunday Prabhu Deena Bandhu visited us in the preaching room of the Restaurant and told very nice stories about Vrndavan, good audience and conviviality. Also that day my eldest son Jay went out very enthusiastically to sankirtan with Gadadhar, it was a good result.

I wanted to ask you if it is suitable for the principles (not intoxication) to consume CBD cannabidiol pure oil (cannabis sativa) in cases of medical treatment such as epilepsy in my case. I am looking for natural options to treat my neurological case.

HpS - I don't know. will ask raman reti devi dasi if she has any information about this.

your sankirtan sounds great. material happiness and distress is flicker and superficial. sankirtan is the reawakening of the particular abilities of the individual soul. eg i am a cow... mooo.

New Govardhan is doing well Nandita is very well taken care of🐄, we also received an older devotee to live one house away from our home so we have devotee neighbors hehe every day mother Krishna tattva reads Krishna book with my eldest son Jay Govinda, it is a good life in the countryside in Krishna consciousness.

I do not wish to take up any more of your valuable time so I say goodbye your servant Anandamaya Devi dasi

hps - thank you. you make our heart happy.

Hare Krishna, Dear Siksha Guru Maharaja,

please kindly accept my most humble obeisances;

all glories to his divine grace, Srila Prabhupada;

all glories to your good self, for your selfless devotion to Srila Prabhupada;

hps - we have selfish desires.

all glories to all the devotees of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

There is so much I would like to share; so many realizations that have come into my mind which I haven't always been able to write down, as they come to me particularly during my japa period. Sometimes I reflect on my life: the names of the places and faces I once knew so long ago. What was the meaning of it all? What have I done with my life that was so meaningful? What will be my fate? My life is lived, and now all that remains is preparing myself for the next and final chapter of my life. Thoughts like these constantly come and go in my mind, instead of my attentively crying out to Krishna to mercifully engage me in His devotional service: such nonsense japa I have.

I have been reading "VASIHNAVA KE?" by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati. It is very powerful poetry, which I confess scares the hell out me, because it forces me to look very deeply into my own character and behavior. My false ego really takes a beating by reading this book. My mind tries to defend itself with excuses of why I choose to distance myself from the local community of devotees. I want to be honest with myself, and yet this book only seems to show me where I am failing. I just want to be peaceful in my daily practice of devotional service.

asa = mukti?

I needed to share these things, and there is no one close enough for me to share them with.

In the interest of brevity I am obliged to end here. Please kindly forgive me for disturbing you with my foolishness. I wish I could be a better example of a Vaishnava. I want with all my heart to be a better example, but there is so much sinful karma in my life that obstructs me from being exemplary. The last verse of the Sri Isopanishad tells the story of my plight in struggling to be a sincere devotee.

My japa is steady, and it is my greatest saving grace through all of my challenges and calamities. My reading is helpful in spite of my failing brain. My wife is incredibly supportive, in spite of my failures. No books are going out at present until I can resume with my other worldly affairs. And with this much having been said, I will close here, hoping for your special kindness and causeless mercy. If I am at all fortunate, I may yet come to a place where I can surrender in a way that is proper and fitting.

Your lowly, servant,

Balabhadra dasa

HpS - how, hare krsna, is your surgery recovering??

Remenbered Gurudeva:

Please accep my obeisances to your lotus feet eternally🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹🌹🙏

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories To You my dear Gurumaharaja!🙏🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹🌹

hps/as -agtsp... 🙂

For Sri Nityananda's appearance day, I was very inspired and did a dance to a very nice bhajan that was sung when the Pancha Tatwa deities were installed at ISKCON Mayapur: Nadiya Godrume.

The day I recorded was a hot day of more than 40 degrees !!! And it was Varaha Dvadasi. The next day was the appearance of Sri Nitya - Ananda!

Please I hope to please you with this offering to Sri Nityananda🙏, and it is also an offering to You who is the manifestation of Sri Nityananda's mercy.

I hope you had a wonderful festival, as You say, "every year the festivals are more intense!" I think it is because we understand our Guru's mercy better.

Please forgive any offense and give me Your blessing to understand His mercy🙏🙏🙏

Please forgive any mistakes in my dance, in editing, in the camera. Although I am not a professional in doing any of this, I am just trying to do some service to give my bit to this wonderful sankirtan movement. And just by giving this bit, I feel extremely happy!!!!

Jay Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!!! Eternally grateful for accepting me in this adorable sankirtan movement 🙏❤ Trying to be eternally busy at the feet of You Gurumaharaja, of all of You:

J.P.Radha DD ,

Please accept obeisances from Franco ( who helped me with some words and ideas for better editing) and Gopal (12 years old)

P.D.

It's a prasadam video😀 because before uploading it to youtube, I showed it to my deity Lord Nitya Ananda! (which Franco carved) I hope my Lord Nityananda can be pleased❤🙏

hps/as - 🐵 how many hours a month do you get out for public chanting?

thank you?
