Hare Krsna Gurudev.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!

Con respecto a su pregunta: ¿Qué está haciendo Jagannatha Das? Mis respetos.

Primero, muchas gracias por siempre preguntar por Jagannatha Caran. Él ha estado trabajando mucho este año. Uno de sus compañeros se fue a trabajar y vivir a Atlanta, y no han contratado a nadie más. Deben cubrir esas horas.

Ha estado junto a sus hermanos espirituales, organizando la visita de SS Bhakti Sundar Goswami a Santiago para enero 2026. Jagannatha compró ayer el ticket.

HpS - ¿Qué opinas de los grupos de WhatsApp? Muchos dicen que son mejores que Twitter.

Personalmente, twitter era entretenido😊

Para mi era fácil traducir y leer. Para mi es difícil el idioma, pero WhatsApp parece más personal, más cercano.

De todas maneras cualquier propuesta significa mucho para nosotros en términos de Su gran bondad por mantenernos en servicio. Muchas gracias Gurudev.

Participamos de mangal arati y clase de Srimad Bhagavatam para la visita de SS Dhanvantari Swami yen el templo, y de un almuerzo junto a más devotos. Maharaja tuvo que partir antes a Brasil por la muerte de Su madre.

Para Govardhana Puja, participamos del festival en casa de Maha Anandini, y preparamos 30 simplemente maravillosas.

Por último quiero contarle que estuvimos ayudando en una actividad del colegio (curso de Indira), donde teníamos que representar a "India". Cocinamos kachoris y chutney de frutilla, laddus y lassi. El prasadam fue muy apreciado por todos. Se hizo una presentación artística, donde ayudé en varias cosas. Quedamos bastantes cansados, pero ya estamos recuperados 😊. Todo esto fue para Tiro-bhava Mahotsava de Srila Prabhupada, así que por la tarde celebramos en casa de Maha Anandini, junto a más devotos, con abhisek, Guru puja, Damodara, lectura y prasadam (no saqué fotos de esta celebración😔)

Adjunto algunas fotos.

Estas son las noticias por ahora.

Hare Krishna, Gurudev.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories be to Srila Prabhupada!

Regarding your question: What is Jagannatha Das doing? My respects.

First, thank you so much for always asking about Jagannatha Caran. He has been working very hard this year. One of his colleagues moved to Atlanta to work and live, and they haven't hired anyone else. They have to cover those hours.

He has been with his spiritual brothers, organizing the visit of His Holiness Bhakti Sundar Goswami to Santiago in January 2026. Jagannatha bought the ticket yesterday.

HpS - What do you think of WhatsApp groups? Many say they are better than Twitter.

Personally, Twitter was entertaining 😊 For me, it was easy to translate and read. The language is difficult for me, but WhatsApp seems more personal, more intimate.

In any case, any suggestion means a great deal to us in terms of His great kindness in keeping us in service. Thank you very much, Gurudev.

We participated in mangal arati and a Srimad Bhagavatam class for His Holiness Dhanvantari Swami's visit to the temple, and had lunch with other devotees. Maharaja had to leave early for Brazil due to the death of his mother.

HpS - Hare Krsna!!

For Govardhana Puja, we participated in the festival at Maha Anandini's house and prepared 30 simply wonderful dishes.

Finally, I want to tell you that we helped with a school activity (Indira's class), where we had to represent "India." We cooked kachoris and strawberry chutney, laddus, and lassi. The prasadam was very much appreciated by everyone. There was an artistic presentation, where I helped with several things. We were quite tired, but we've already recovered 😊. All of this was for Srila Prabhupada's Tiro-bhava Mahotsava, so in the afternoon we celebrated at Maha Anandini's house, along with other devotees, with abhisek, Guru puja, damodara, reading, and prasadam (I didn't take any pictures of this celebration 😔).

I've attached some photos.

That's all the news for now.

Your aspiring servant,

Priyasakhi Devi Dasi

HpS - It's an ocean of news. Think, how many simple devotees like you are me are being used by Srila Prabhupada. Even a smile from a devotee can save so many lives. Gauranga!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Guru Maharaj .

Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet. We miss darshan of those sweet, sweet, lotus feet.

HpS - In our spiritual forms we all have lotus feet (or lotus hooves etc), no?

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaj,

Thank you for the Japa Joe sessions, they are so enlightening, inspiring and spiritually healing.

Badly sprained the right hand, but fortunate enough to at least chant painfully. Went to Nabadwip in the beginning of Kartik.

HpS - In IN I N credible. Did you see the terror of the Bhattacharys Nimai Pandit and His gang challenging everyone right and left??

On exam duty at Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh, one of the oldest military hospital built by the British in India. After exam duty , we had wonderful, ecstatic kirtan daily . Dibrugarh congregation lead by HG Jadupati Shyam Prabhu is transcendental. In one of the programmes, we were asked to speak on NOI, verse 2 for 10mins. It was indeed Guru Maharaj's mercy that came all the way to my heart. Thank you Guru Maharaj.

HpS - Things and people to avoid!

Back home, we go for house programmes almost daily after our hospital duty. We cover around 4 or 5 houses, kirtan, deepdaan and prasadam. It is a very , very sweet experience....and funny enough, Sri Damodara plays a lot of leela with us...we find His leela soooo sweet.

HpS - Vasanta gi purnima. ooo ooo ooo ... ! Now is Kartika Purnima!!

We try our best to be of some service to our senior devotees. HG Devarshi Prabhu has been kind enough in encouraging me to take up TTC , starting on 15th Nov. We got ourself registered online. Prabhu is also teaching IDC to the congregation members, around 20 of us. Thank you Guru Maharaj for all Your mercy.

Matajis are practicing Vasant raas heart and soul...for Guru Maharaj's offering . Kindly give us Your blessings to serve Guru and Gauranga. We also keep Peru in our heart whenever we think of Vasant raas and Guru Maharaj.

HpS - Be so nice if there can be academic, accredited, regular cultural exchange between Manipur and Peru.

We are reading SB canto 2 in the morning. We continue our evening classes SB canto 4. and followed by Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta .

HpS - Which Chapters, pastimes??

We eagerly wait with our prayers ,for Guru Maharaj's arrival in India....

Sharing some pics ....

Your insignificant servant,

Sarad Gaurangi D D

HpS - Only the very fortunate take birth in Manipur.

We hope we see H. H. B. S. Damodara soon.

HARE KRISHNA MAHARAJA!! Mis reverencias a sus pies de Loto. Me gustaría tomar iniciación con usted. Estoy en conciencia de Krishna desde el año 2008. Sería un honor gigante servirlo eternamente. Mi nombre es Sofía Ariztizabal, de la ciudad de Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Haribol 🙏

HpS - All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

Very great honor to meet you.

Patagonia.

Everyting below the equator is Patala loka???



Because we are old and our donkey is lame, we are not doing Diksa, initiation, anymore. We can't handle the Karma from the rituals.

Yet, we are happy to be a Siksa guru for you as we can.

Of course, Srila Prabhupada has never died, he is living in his books and you can have as personal connection with him as anyone ever has had through that media and your sincere efforts to become a servant of Radha Krsna again.

Waking up!

Yadunandana Swami is nice devotee. Diksa guru.

So many.

O.K.???

Do you have good morning program?

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

HK Maharaj! How are you!! I’m so glad to hear that you are well, well hope to see you whenever you come to South America. Do you have any specific dates?

thank you for the verses you always send me, they are of very good help!!

Well here I’m in Buenos Aires, here in Argentina we kinda kidding say that Krishna is everywhere but he has his headquarters in Buenos Aires hahahahahahha because well it’s the financial and political capital city.

I’ve never been so thankful for living here, I have plenty of friends and sportive activities to do, temple, and well over all you breath a sense of friendliness.

You know I’ve been journaling for quite a while, what I do write is my praise to Krishna, I just talk to him, worship him by words, express my own feelings, and many times I feel much more thrilled in that devotional activity, more than with the japa, so that’s why I was asking about spontaneous prayers while chanting japa, sometimes I feel inclined to pray in the “Christian” way whilst chanting the holy name.

Please give us your blessings Maharaj so we can become pure devotees in this very lifetime.

please accepts my obeisances, hope you are always well.

HK!

Federico

HpS - Jaya!!!! Thank you. Watch for the exact dates of the Tour here in the Calendar section of this Blog.

Querido Gurumaharaja:

Hemos leído su carta en el block, en donde menciona que están trabajando en el calendario del próximo trimestre de enero a marzo del año 2026 para sus programas internacionales.

Menciona que posiblemente aterrice en Chile para el mes de marzo, y que le gustaría visitar Lima y luego Argentina.

Por favor Gurumaharaja, nos podría confirmar si en el mes de marzo visitaría Lima-Peru;

Ya que aquí en Lima quien le escribe y varios de nuestros hermanos espirituales están muy entusiasmados por si confirma su llegada a Lima.

Nos estamos reuniendo y organizándonos, por si se confirma una vez más su visita a Lima con antelación. Atentamente

Su eterno sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja:

We read your letter on the blog, where you mention that you are working on the schedule for the next quarter, January to March 2026, for your international programs.

You mention that you might land in Chile in March, and that you would like to visit Lima and then Argentina.

Please, Gurumaharaja, could you confirm if you will be visiting Lima, Peru in March?

Because here in Lima, I and several of our spiritual brothers and sisters are very excited if you confirm your arrival in Lima.

We are meeting and organizing in case your visit to Lima is confirmed in advance. Sincerely,

Your eternal servant,

Govinda Caran das

HpS - Hare Krsna.

So, nice to hear from you!!!

We are trying to confirm things with Jagad guru Das and the Third ISKCON Latin American Congress on Education and meetings for cooperation with the Chilean Ministry of Education et al.

We would come with Yadunandana Swami from Spain. He would go back home, back to La Mancha through BsAs. We would only go North to Peru.

We published the current proposals in the WhatsApp, anvaSeka groups community. Do you belong to that?

Abhirama Das Thakur can put you in touch.

Just watch for the postings here of the Calendar when it is fixed.

In general, physical body basically was finished by 30-35 years old and then our mind last December. Now we are like Hanuman in Kali yuga. Dreaming of the material world and and hopefully traveling to the spiritual world.

Let us all take birth in Nadiya with Nimai, no???

Your servants 🐵 🐷 🔬

SB workshop Sunday morning class will start 7:30 am (Houston time, CST). In US there is time adjustment, clocks are moved back by 1 hour. Thank you. Hare Krishna. YS Upendra dasa
