Hare Krsna Srila Gurudev

Srila Prabhupada ki jai !!

Dandavat pranam at your lotus feet Srila gurudev

I am so glad and relieved to see that your holiness plans to visit Vraj dham this year. Consequently I, have currently dropped my plans for spain. Although, I am thinking of atleast making my passport.

I had a very very wonderful Darshan at jagannath puri. Tried visiting the places where sri caitanya mahaprabhu used to go. I got lot of mercy in the form of darshan and prasad at alarnath dham. The stone that had melted under Caitanya mahaprabhu is still there.

Went to bhajan kutir of H.D.G. Srila Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati thakur Srila Prabhupada. My appreciation has increased so much for him. I always felt special connection with H.D.G. Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati goswami Prabhupada. I am currently planning to read Bhakti Siddhant Vaibhav by H.H. Srila Bhakti Vikas maharaj. Found a online free copy, not sure if that's the complete version or not.

My sadhana has also improved a lot. 4 regulation principles intact and chanting my 16 rounds regularly but quality has to improve.

My Nitai and Nimai deities are back with me so I am very happy to serve them again. Looking at them gives me lot of happiness.

Srila Gurudev one question : how do senior devotees associate with each other. When Sanyasis and senior devotees meet each other how do they associate, what do they talk about.

Eagerly waiting for you to come to vraj.

Your trying to be student

Hare Krishna!

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you.

Gurudeva, I wanted to say thank you.

I am making some advancement and I owe you very much for this.

I know I could not pay you back but I do desire to try. I am trying my best by waking up everyday at 3:45am, chanting 16 superbly attentive rounds,

following 4 regs

and dancing at Mangala aarti.

My rounds are done before 9am. Our morning program is pretty much like clock work, and I am working on going deeper.

I am very determined to spread KC in Dallas here to westerns. We have programs specifically targeted for this demographic and we are finding some success. Even more targeted is I am working to spread KC with youth. I have signed up for one of the NA leadership initiatives and Youth is my initiative I have chosen to be part of.

I figure this works very in line with my current preaching endeavours at Krishna House Dallas. We have a nice group with Manoram Prabhu, Malati Prabhu, Kalakantha Prabhu and Sangara Thaukur Prabhu. I think this is a great opportunity for me to work with and see some nice devotees in action.

Gurudeva, I really don't want to leave anything on the battlefield when I leave this body. Besides FMP and my service, I have read 9 books in the last month on communication, leadership, sales and wealth.

We will read Art of War soon.

I don't plan on slowing down with this.

I was told recently, a little over a month ago, that I have so much more potential than what I am giving. That stung but at the same time it started a fire within me, challenge accepted.

Since then, I have felt more alive in my KC than ever. I see more clearly my service, an amazing increase in my ability for it and my better character. I am a coach, a teacher, like you said 15+ years ago.

I don't want to do anything less than giving my everything for Srila Prabhupada and you. However, Gurudeva, I want to be transparent in my endeavor with you. If you have any concerns or adjustments, you would like from me please tell me. If you would be so kind please bless me that I can be the best leader, communicator and most importantly servant that I can be for Srila Prabhupada.

I am looking forward very much to seeing you in Houston, if Krishna allows me to live that long.

Haribol,

Your servant on the battlefield, boots on the ground,

Nanda-braja das.

You are such and example to us!

Thank God, even us dogs, bears, can take part and dance in ecstacy.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

We continue fighting, this mind I have is very demonic, but without a doubt the process of Krishna consciousness helps to control it through spiritual intelligence [3.43]

HpS//ASA - Wonderful!!

I have interacted with devotees from other Vaishnava schools, it has been nice to be able to appreciate their service. I don't share some things with them, philosophical topics and I think that if at some point they invited me to listen to a class at their school, I would avoid doing it, but if I share Kirtan, it is what unites us, and well, prasadam too (but making sure which does not have garlic or onion.)

Since February I have been making a contribution to the ISKCON Chile temple, and also to NIOS Chile, for whatever purposes they deem appropriate.

I took a Vedic counseling course, they teach the basis of the most important Vedic sciences: jyotish, ayurveda, yoga and vastu. It's in English, so it helps me put a little more effort into learning the language.

My musical and preaching project on social media is having good results. I am adapting the maha mantra to popular songs and it is attractive to people, also devotees.

Thank you Gurudeva for accepting me in your program again.

My obeisances

Your servant

ps: I share a photograph of today's program (April 30, 2024), we are going to complete almost 2 months with weekly meetings. In the image Álvaro and his son Maximiliano. They are steady and enthusiastic.

HpS - Thank you!! THANK YOU! . . .

Pray, HK///HR, that Krsna puts a Brahminical column in your preaching efforts!!!

Hare Krsna!!

Best wishes bringing all your disciples back to Goloka!
