All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS. PAOHO.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Getting so excited for the Second initiation. Praying for all the mercy from Guru Maharaj for bestowing enough strength  so that this ignorant servant gets some service . Yes Guru Maharaj, we are getting Bhakti Shastri classes from HH Haridas Maharaj. Sincerely wish to join the full 4 months course conducted at Mayapur but Institute won't allow leave of absence for that period of time. Thinking about online course.

Guru Maharaj, praying for mercy for my japa. Feel satisfied only after chanting 30 or more rounds....if 16 rounds are not completed in the morning , I feel sort of irritated for no reason. On Ekadashi it feels so good.

Just working on a plan to open a congregation centre near our hospital. Looking for a place on rent.Our students are relatively free after their classes end at 4pm. Planning to start daily evening kirtan by 4.30pm followed by Prasadam distribution. As we have holidays every second saturday of the month, we plan to have Gita classes on this day. Almost every year we lose students to suicide. MBBS is a tough course with so much pressure and we wish to help them in some way.Seeking advice from Guru Maharaj. Kindly help us.

HpS - We don't have much to say. The effort seems perfect!    Krsna will do the magic.   His decisions are always magic, whether they are what we want or not.

We had wonderful kirtan last Sunday....as we started from the local Radha Gopinath and Radha Madhav temples, we were literally dragged in from one house to another.....we had kirtan in all the houses we were invited ...so much so that we did not have time for nagar kirtan...felt so sad. Prabhu Banamali suggested we go for Nagar kirtan at the same place next Sunday.

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Our local Tennessee devotees want to visit Manipur in the middle of October?   Is that a good time?  Is it too cold???   Of course, they want to see the Vaisnava culture.

Hare Krishna Maharaja, reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Quiero agradecer por su clara instrucción sobre el proyecto musical que realizaré este año.

Tengo una pregunta filosófica, nuestro cuerpo sutil, compuesto por la mente, la inteligencia y el ego falso, son el medio por el cual pensamos, deseamos y decidimos, la pregunta es ¿cómo funcionan estas cosas en el mundo espiritual? ¿Nuestro cuerpo espiritual también tiene mente, inteligencia y ego?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hare Krishna Maharaja, bows, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I want to thank you for your clear instruction on the musical project that I will realize this year.

I have a philosophical question, our subtle body, composed of mind, intelligence and false ego, are the means by which we think, desire and decide, the question is how do these things work in the spiritual world? Does our spiritual body also have mind, intelligence and ego?

HpS - AGTSP!!    From my understanding only the mind thinks about things, feels attraction or repulsion and then wills the senses to enagage. The false ego and the intelligence have other functions.  In the spirititual world, we are our our body we are our ego. We decide and we act. We are sat-cit-ananda, we exist, we know, and love. Different components of the same person but not coverings, us.

It is a good question and beyond what I have said above I don't have much more realization. As we read these things become more and more clear.

Hare Krsna!

AGTSP!

Paoho.  Lord Nrsmha Deva had oranges and steamed carrots with fennel seed, little salt and olive oil for breakfast. The the same for lunch but no oranges.

Now some milk with lots of water, and sugar would be good.

Give you Deities a healthy diet!!

It is 5.23 PM. Sun sets at 5PM. Have Gaura arati on line at 5.30pm many times, but today is Friday.

Program at NGD house this evening. We answered as many letters as we could. We have 35-disciple reports left to answer, Thank you.

Now let's chant Gayatri and call Srivasa Pandita Das.

<var>Reciba por favor mis humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto....</var>

<var>Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!</var>

<var>Maharaja estoy en chosica,viviendo en casa de prabhu Kanupandit, asisto al programa, solicite servicio a madre Nitya Kinkari, me dio servicio haciendo guirnaldas y entrando al Pujari como ayudante....tambien me ofrecio vivir en el ashrama.</var>

<var>Mis rondas Maharaja siento han mejorado,pues me doy cuenta sonrio mucho cuando canto y me gusta cada vez mas cantar.....16 rondas 4 principios cumplidos cada dia con gusto,sabe maharaja los principios ya no se sienten como una obligacion,es algo mas normal parte del dia a dia....trato de conectarme siempre a startmetting cuando no lo hago es porque sigo en el templo.</var>

Lectura esta algo floja ,porque recien termine de desempacar,se que no es excusa ,para proximo reporte habre retomado.

HpS  -  El libro KRSNA!

Me causo mucha emoción ver a la madre Nitya Kinkari despues de tanto tiempo y a otras madres y tener su asociacion nuevamente,Las cosas han mejorado muchisimo para mi,en todo sentido,no tengo mayores necesidades,tengo todo y más....y hare todo para que asi continue.

Muchas gracias maharaja por eatar siempre pendiente,por reaponder las cartas,sus sabias palabras y consejos o recomendaciones....disculpa si al escribir no uso palabras más bonitas o elaboradas,solo escribo lo que pienso y siento en ese momento.

Perdona por favor mis ofensas,mis metidas de pata,mis caidas,mi mala cabeza,mi falta de control,soy alguien que algun dia espera poder servirte y serte util en este moviento de Sankirtana...espero con ansias verlo pronto.

Bhaktin Amparo

HpS - Jaya!!   En otro nivel!!!     Esperamos mucho entusiasmo por el templo en Chosica.

All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Krsna

I offer my obeisances to "my" Gurupadapadma

Patita pavana Hanumatpresaka Swami.

Srila Gurudeva, just to inffor You that I am doing well with principles and chanting 16 round  of the maha mantra that You gave me. Thanks for that gift. Now I am reading Caitanya Bhagavata, Antya Lila chapter five, when I finish reading the book I will startwith the Sri Caitanya Caritamrta a second time according to Your instructions. I am happy knowing that You are going to stay in South America from 2019.

Srila Prabhupada mentions many books  at the end of Sri Caitanya Caritamrta,  will not reach time in this life, I wish to advance longe before my next  demise.

HpS - Krsna keeps writing, doing, more and more books. We have to look at them in general and then chose some in particular, talk with others about their books, no?

I hope to be useful, servant of  Your servant, amalakaruna das.

HpS - It is so good to be getting regular news from you.  I know Mathuresa Das is trying to work out your relation with the temple is Cusco.  We can reach the whole world just by preaching in Cusco,no!  Do that!

A gbc homo(status)puppet, ass full of this friendly little stuff: little little,, hope not so little, that they will eat you, haha:

 Those who are mad after capturing and enjoying the imitation peacock, as well as those who have a pessimistic view of the imitation peacock but lack any positive information of the real peacock—both are illusioned by the modes of material nature.
Mukunda-mala-stotra mantra 3, Purport:

The material nature is not at all beautiful, for it is an "imitation peacock." The real peacock is a different thing, and one must have the sense to understand this. Those who are mad after capturing and enjoying the imitation peacock, as well as those who have a pessimistic view of the imitation peacock but lack any positive information of the real peacock—both are illusioned by the modes of material nature. Those who are after the imitation peacock are the fruitive workers, and those who simply condemn the imitation peacock but are ignorant of the real peacock are the empiric philosophers. Disgusted with the mirage of happiness in the material desert, they seek to merge into voidness.

One should be very much pessimistic of this material world.
His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada's Disappearance Day, Lecture -- Los Angeles, December 9, 1968:

There is nothing good within this material world; everything is bad. So we have manufactured something good and something bad. Here... Because in the Bhagavad-gītā we understand this place is duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam (BG 8.15). This place is for misery. So how you can say, in miserable condition, how you can say that "This is good" or "This is bad." Everything is bad. So those persons who do not know—the material, conditional life—they manufacture something, "This is good, this is bad," because they do not know everything here is bad, nothing good. One should be very much pessimistic of this material world. Then he can make advance in spiritual life. Duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam (BG 8.15). This place is full of miseries, and if you study analytically, you'll find simply miserable condition. Therefore the whole problem is that we should give up our material conditional life, and in Kṛṣṇa consciousness we should try to elevate ourself to the spiritual platform and thereby be promoted to the kingdom of Godhead, yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāmaṁ paramaṁ mama (BG 15.6), where going, nobody comes back to this miserable world. And that is the supreme abode of the Lord."

HpS - Thank you. In the Hitopadesa the King of the Deer tells the King of the Turtles (or the other way around )as we remember) that this material world is a tree and all the fruits are bitter or poisonous, except for two
