Dear Guru Maharaha, PAMHO, TLGTSP!!!

A few days ago I sent my annual report here in the blog “Reports”. However, I want to tell you about some activities from last year and some plans for 2025.

2024:

HpS/ASA - Thank you for doing both! As we commented in the Post by Dhannista Devi Dasi we are still trying to digest all the letters we received during Guru Puja etc. 🙂

- Main festivals (as as Janmastami, Gaura Purnima): I celebrated at home because I have been living far away for temple. I made garlands for my deities with flowers from my garden.

ASA - SUPER

We thin you have bought Krsna and Radha forever by that one act!

- Home preaching programs: with Nityananda Prana das organize a program for people interested in knowing about Krishna, and occasionally we organize programs with devotees.

- Bhakti Sastri Course: I started the course with P. Radhika Nagara das from Mayapur Institute, but I had to stop it. To return in march.

ASA - Did you return??? Is it fun?

- NIOS Chile: I wrote a review for Solaris and it was accepted. I also participated in Radhika Raman's visit to Santiago. I had the opportunity to do a Little service with my godbrothers: Arjuna das, Jagad Guru das, Priya Sakhi dd, Manjuali dd, Lalita Madhava das. Great souls.

ASA - Academics remember and contemplate these experiences forever.

- I traveled to Colombia to visit my family and Nityananda Prana das really liked the city. We were at a sankirtan on one of the main Street of the city.

ASA - One famous (infamous) devotee from Colombia told us that Columbia has the best fruit, the best coffee and the best cocaine (!! 😯) in the world.

He said that the last one made all the problems.

U. G./T. B. - Why doesn't the USA just legalize cocaine, like cigaretts, and then evaporate all the cartels?

If you are going to kill your self (it says so on tobacco). Then do it in a civilized fashion?

Maybe a stupid idea.

2025: I hope to continue participating in NIOS, reading and grow in my spiritual life, being useful in service. Nityananda Prana has really been a great partner for me. Always, I read your messages on X (twitter), blog and follow the post in ASA and others.

HpS - How have you found WhatsApp, anveSaka, Community, Group?

Infinitely grateful to you Gurudeva for being your disciple. Thank you for all!

 Your servant,

Damni dd

HpS - We feel very honored, undeservably honored, that anyone finds our discipline useful.

AgtSP....

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. I have a question, reading Upadesamrita, I have a doubt, on what depends, the rasa we have with Krishna?, Santa, Vatsalya, Madhurya... it, depends of us or from Krishna, or from both?, thank you very much,

Your servant

Danistha devi dasi.

HpS/ASA - As far, AgtSP! paoho... as we understand we already have a relationship with Krsna. https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/4/#bb5903

We are made that way by Krsna, but He we are like Him because we have free will and we discover newer and newer types of service we can offer to him

The flute is in Shanta rasa in Braja, no? Yet, that is Shanta Rasa in BRAJA!!!

So, we can always improve our Rasa.

Maybe we are in Dasya rasa in Vaikuntha. No one is going to give up any spiritual gift they have, but .... if they join Sita, Rama, Laksmana, Hanuman in an incarnationin the material world, they may follow Hanuman and then add some Sakhya Rasa to their Dasya Rasa and have connection, residence, in Ayodhya?

Does it help?

Sorry slow to answer Blog posts around Gurupuja time. There were so many. Taking us five months to really begin to digest them and also read the Reports to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you.

Great question.

Ask more.

Nanda braja Das from New Kalachandji Dhama asks:

Hare Krishna! Pamho AGTSP! Guru Maharaja, I see that you are going to go for Ratha Yatra in Boise. Any updates thoughts about me joining you in Houston and traveling to Boise?

HpS/ASA - Thank you for the question.

We are old and our donkey is lame, so we only exist in practice by the impetus of others.

First, let us please comment on titles in ISKCON.

We feel that it may be impertinent for us to be addressed as "Guru Maharaja" in ISKCON. It maybe insulting to Srila Prabhupada's position, and then how to deal with this academic "Bhaktivedanta" title.

Ooof! Too much for one small monkey to handle. 🐵

First, we remember a letter from Srila Prabhupada where one disciple asked if he could address someone such as his authority Bhagavan Das or Hansadutta Das as 'Guru', and Srila Prabhupada answered, "Yes", but that we should not forget himself as his real Guru.

Hmmm. Interesting.

We feel that maybe we can be addressed as guru maharaja very much in the perspective of ISKCON Diksa guru, and sannyasi and Shiksa, Sankirtan leader, guru in the perspective that we are 🐖

🐖 🐖 pigs become people, PRABHUS [???], by the great personal sacrifice of His Divine Grace, Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder/Acharya of ISKCON and author of book KRSNA - SPOG.

Is O.K., no?

We can't even begin to to take a so called Ritvik Guru philosophy seriously because we do not find it discussed in even one Bhaktivedanta Purport, what to speak of detailed and repeated discussion in several Purports.

Wow! 🚓

O.K. Next - 💪

💪

🐵

Prabhupada directly instructed in a letter that he wanted his disciples to become ISKCON, Vedic, scholars and earn this title Bhaktivedanta as a hereditary title.

Also, Lord Caitanya says: amar anjay guru haya, on my order, you become guru.

Vaisesika Das, ISKCON Minister of Sankirtan, said we should earn these titles and use them. Show the world our quality of education.

We feel His Holiness H. P. Bhaktivedanta Swami is quite pretentious, for us. Maybe some other devotees in ISKCON merit it?

We feel like we can survive, do practical service, with H. H. Hanumat presaka Swami [Bh. Ved].

What do you think?

[Bh. Ved]

ASA - AgtSP...... Paoho. We posted a Poll, first one, in the Whats App, anveSaka Community, and it came back about 20 "yes, go", and 19 "no, don't go".

More ladies chose, "don't go", and more gentlemen chose "go".

Yet, as at 5-years old, our neighbor, Suzanna, informed us, girls are smarter than boys, so we should expect that we will probably die if we go, so we are planning to go.

Less intelligent.

We noted that Sriman Ananta rupa Das, bought the ticket on SWA for us, HOU to DAL, on the 1st of July.

That gives us one night in New Kala chandji Dhama. O.K.?

Then the Second we go with him to Boise from DFW on American to BOI.

We suggested that we stay for a week, and he suggested three months, then one month, and then we settled for ten days, AA Boise to Houston on Friday the 11th.

Seems O.K.?

If there is any calamity he could probably still get a refund within 24-hours of booking the ticket.

He suggested the Niti-sar Das come back with us and stay through the weekend.

???

My Siksa guru, Aunt Sally, told me that everyone is crazy but me and thee and sometimes I have my doubts about thee.

So, that is the plan.

by crazies.

for crazies

Any suggestions? Your association is great in any case, any place.

Hare Krsna.

Hare Krsna.

Eyes are burning.

🙂

Little chest pain and unsettled digestion.

How much do the five allopathic pills improve our health?

Is there side effects in terms of digestion etc.

🙂

If we are chanting Hare Krsna at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet, externally and internally, then everything we have done is perfect.

No reason to lament.

Only work is to continue chanting. To improve the chanting.

The chanting will attract thoughts, plans.

Perspectives on the current world.

The Holy Names will attract people. Associates.

The Holy Names may take you from this world by fasting or some disease.

We are headed to the Temple now, 6.39PM.

Krsna can put you in the mode of pure goodness at any moment. ONly one requirement, no selfish desires.

Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna.... Krsna Krsna Hare Hare....... Hare Rama, hare rama.... rama rama hare hare....

makes us smile!!!

we are with you.

we are the life of iskcon.

we can help all the members of iskcon purify their karma.

see you soon.

come with us to the Temple.

Om ajnana- timirandhasya jnanañjana-salakaya

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva, TLGASP,

Everything is going well here in Monterrey. The family is getting used to the region and the climate.

There are many turquoise rivers not far away.

Laksmi's earnings have also improved.

The challenges in the family never end.

Kunti is already learning to hold a pencil and is undergoing weaning; Mani Kundali is teaching her to offer and chant.

All my daughters are fine, I'm trying to distribute the Bhagavad Gita with a little sankirtan practice.

In the last 2 months, 20 Bhagavad Gita have been distributed and they are my greatest solace in the midst of the hurricane of the three modalities.

In relation to my sankirtan service, a couple of anecdotes: on Mother's Day a man said: "I already have a gift for my wife, but this Bhagavad Gita will be the extra, she likes yoga and everything from India."

On another occasion, I was talking in a pharmacy for 10 minutes with a saleswoman who in the end didn't take the book.

Then, when I was about to leave, a woman appeared and said: "I'm going to want the book." I was listening to everything you said, I like all those topics about the soul, I was on the other side of the aisle and I threw all the talk away.

Well, something is something.

The next test is Mani Kundali surgery on the morning of May 22nd.

We pray for your blessings for all to be well, and we deeply trust in obtaining Krishna's favor.

Thank you always, Gurudeva.

Your eternal servant, Sacinandan Das

HpS/ASA - How is your Mama???

If you can just go out on book distribution every day, few days a week, that is great.

Hope she has good consciousness in the surgery and leans more about Krsna's external energy and can preach to the hospital people by her words and actions.

Do you live near Gadai?
