Gurudeva I hope you are in good health and can come to feel the seasonal heat in Lima.

I wanted to tell you that you are cordially invited to the yada de chosica, you are our guest of honor, followed by our invited brothers who come from abroad. We propose the yada pada on Sunday, April 18. Is it a good date? To send the poster.

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna, AGTSP paoho... Pienso su sugerienda es 18 Marzo, no Abril, no?   Eso es Domingo mientras estamos en Chosica.

Tengo dudas y animas: Eso es fin de semana cuando esperamos retirar con Jesuitas, Professores, muchos. No hay mucho tiempo y hace mucho tiempo para recojer (collect) todas para participar en el evento. Tambien no hay mucho publico (pero hay publico) en Chosica, entonces posible inversion de bastante tiempo no con mucho resultado.
Pero Sankirtan es muy integral con nuestra cultura. Importante mostrar ISKCON en Chosica.
El Templo, administracion, va a apoyar?
Hmmm???

Posible mejor despues de regresar de BsAs., 21-22 de Abril.

Hmmm?

Perspectivo de otros???

Hanuman landed in Lanka (Atlanta)

After jumping high in the sky. Some problems were actually solutions and some were tests of how good he could fly.

His head was aching, but early, he went to the Temple room floor and chanted and danced with Bhima Das, the Pujari and one lady devotee more.

Japa, Class, India on the phone to Tapana misra and few hours with Dasa Veda sar.

Got computer.

Got big screen.

Got laundry soap.

Got. . .   basic calendar and work standard.    Hare Krsna!!!

See you at Mangala-arati.

JAYA SRI RAMA!

Hare Krsna, Gurudev Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - Please accept our obeisances at YOUR lotus feet... !

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Sripada, and

Guru Parampara,

Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay,

Radha Krsna Ki Jay.

Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja!

ASA - Jaya!!   Very nice to hear from you.

I have downloaded Gurujis amritabani reply of my previous letters. I am so happly to get Guruji’s reply and I thing I am just siting with Guruji’s and discussing about different topics.   For information I want to know Guruji is accompanying with them or not? Are they initiated Prabhujis and Matajis, the approximate numbers and their professions. Dr. Sarda informs me that the team will be doctors, is it correct? Then the programme will be selected and the venue will be better at RIMS as previous lecture progrrame. This time if Guruji spare some days for N.E. Reason specially Silchar, the prabhujis and matajis of Silchar will be happy. They have requested me to arrange some days for Silchar and other bhaktas also may get the opportunity for darsan and serving Guruji personally. Bhaktas from Tripura and Manipur also can participate jointly. It will help us to self introduction and mutual understanding among the bhaktas under Gurujis guidance.

HpS - It seems that the conflict with the programs here in the USA will prevent them from coming to Manipur at the time planned. We should have some more news in a few days. We have been trying to contact one Professor at the university here to fix dates and places for some programs but it seems she has been traveling.

In Bhakti Rasamitra Sindhu 2:1;203 Translation : An example, from Gita-govinda :  I offer my respects to Krsna, who takes ten forms who rescues the Vedas as Matsya, ...... pulls His plough as Balaram. What is the significants? When and how He use his weapon plough?

HpS - This is one specific time: https://www.vedabase.com/en/kb/79, when He fought with Balvala, but also He threatened Yamuna in the story of Dvidvida, and He pulled Hastinapur into the Yamuna in the story or Samba kidnapping some princess of the Kurus.                                         

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - We are experiencing a lot of panic because we start our traveling today!  We have to arrange everything for 10-weeks of hard travel in foreign countries, with many intense programs, and then the first bus was cancelled without proper notice and now we have to sit with only tank water for 8-hours and struggle to get plane ticket at the last minute and go to the bank . . .        Just like you!

Thank you so much for you letters and chance to hear what you are reading.

More news of visit to Manipur soon.

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for adding the link to the soundcloud account in the Kapi Dhvaja. I have now completed upload of all the lectures from IDT and e-sanga to the Soundcloud account. Dhruva prabhu and Mandara Sakha prabhu shared the lectures they recorded in Australia and Chile. Those have been uploaded as well. I thank them for sending the files.

I request all the devotees to send the lectures they have to [email protected]. I also request the devotees to record the lectures in the upcoming travel schedule and send them as well.

We now have 432 audio files. On an average there are 35 plays a week. This weekend, I think devotees from Russia have gotten to know about the account. I am seeing a massive increase in the number of plays. In the last 5 days alone there have been 345 plays!

HpS -  Hare Krsna!   We make mistakes. We learn and then correct them in later lectures. We can help to illuminate a path to Srila Prabhupada, but he is the Guru for everyone in ISKCON. You must have a personal relationship with him to really be in ISKCON.

There is a letter from TCSD thanking you for the lectures and asking for ability to download. He is one of the first devotees we initiated. Tulasi-carana-sevita Das. He grew up in California. His mothe is like 1/8th native American Indian as I remember. Graduate in Cultural Anthropology from UC. Went to Thailand. Married a nice Thai girl. Taught public school in the USA. Moved to Thailand and has taught there since then.

Sadhana wise, I have been chanting 16 rounds and following the principles strictly. I wake up between 5:30-6:00, complete at least 10 rounds, do a small arthi and read Srimad Bhagavatam before leaving to work. I completed Canto 1 Chapter 3 today. I hope to complete a first pass of the first 2 cantos this year and then use the PDP guides for a deep study. I also read The Six Goswamis of Vrindavan on the recommendation of Radhika Ramana prabhu. I wanted to know more about the Goswamis after visiting Vrindavan and it was a wonderful book. I couldn't put it down.

I have decided to move to Dallas. It was a very difficult decision to make because of my attachment to the devotees here. But I feel it is the right thing to do. I love the work I do (I published a paper and filed 2 patens last year) and don't have too much pressure at work. I have a good balance at work that gives me time for sadhana and service. I'll be moving to Dallas sometime in the end of June.

HpS - Also, very nice Temple there. Your Sadhana sounds wonderful. Are you up and chanting Hare Krsna during the Brahma muhurta?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhurta

https://www.vedabase.com/en/kb/70  (FIND: "muhurta") It says "three hours" but I think it is 1-1/2 hours.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

Can I send a message to Hps please? I'm from Brazil and I speak Portuguese. Forgive my bad english.

HpS - Sim. Basta escrever aqui. Você pode usar www.translate.google.com como estamos usando agora. Apenas mantenha a mensagem tão simples que um robô pode compreendê-la.
Bem vinda

PAMHO AGTSP Hare krsna dear Gurudev I am Trivikrama das, from chile, I hope your health is good, I continue in my service of the deities kitchen, as we talked about in your previous visit, I continue with my firm desire to be able to take second initiation, wait for the time that the authority local consider relevant and follow your instruction to develop or at least try, this awareness, through the worship of Sri Sri Gaura Nitay, are the deities of my house, I have a simple standard, but I keep it daily, I awake them I offer incense and I sleep them, that's basically every day. As for now you will not visit our yatra in Chile, I thought about being able to see us in Argentina in April, what do you think about seeing us there? and there to take second initiation? I await your comments your eternal servant Trivikrama das

HpS - AGTSP paoho. So long since we hear from you!!! If you are following a Brahminical standard in your devotional service then seems very proper to take second initiation. Regularly up for chanting and Puja during Mangala arati, SB?? Regular standard of cleanliness? How is your situation in Varna-ashrama-dharma? You got married????????? Of course, we have to have consideration and formal communication with the Temple administration. I think Bhakti sastri is required for Second initiation now. Is that true?
