All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sripada, and Guru Parampara,                         Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay, Radha Krsna Ki Jay.

Guruji Maharaja, Dandavat Pranam!

In the BRS 2:1:146 – Jiva Gosvami’s commentary : This is a verse sung by a bard. Sasi-Kala can mean “who are decorated with the tips of the fingernails or marks of the fingernails, whih are like many moon”. Or in reference to the wife of Siva (Gauri), it can mean “who possesses only one digit of the moonb, which is situated on Siva’s forhead”.  ……… whereas she (Gauri Siva’s wife) is decorated with the reflection of only one moon on Siva’s forehead.

Why half Chandra possesses on the head of Siva? What is the underlying story of Siva  and Chandra?

It is not mentioned in the  NOD.

HpS - We have also wondered about this. We have heard one story that after drinking the ocean of poison Lord Shiva felt hot so he put the moon on his head to cool himself.

Another story is that the moon was being chased by someone and took shelter of Lord Shiva to get saved.  I have never heard that Srila Prabhupada gave us any explanation.

The number I had mentioned in my previous letter is in BRS – 2:1:143

(37) Saranagata-palakah –

Palayan saranapannan saranagt-palakah

This (37) is in NOD-Part two; Chapter tweny one : Qualities of Sri Krsna. 37 protector of Surrendered Souls.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - We have Mangala-arati, reading from NOD and 30-minutes Japa together on-line every day at 4.30AM our time at www.startmeeting.com (ref. 992 055 489). We read the NOD is Spanish from Vedabase.com. We are on Southern Side now in Sattvika bhava. Very nice.  We have very nice religion.

Toda gloria a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor, acepte mis humildes y respetuosas reverencias!

Hare Krishna Maharaja!

Ayer fue una noche inolvidable en el programa de Bhakti Vriksha realizado en el Callao. Es una estrategia de predica donde puede involucrar a toda la familia y a los hogares de nuestros vecinos. Es una dinamica cientifica de una hora y media de duración aproximadamente para lograr bhakti yoga en sadhu sanga para estar fuerte durante toda la semana. 
Espero que se encuentre bien

Hare Krsna, Gurudev Maharaja!
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

Guruji Maharaja, Dandavat Pranam!

Happy New Year’s Day. May Guruji Maharaja Prospurus in the spiritual life and able to spread more and more Krsna’s Name Prachar.

I am so much happy to get Gurujis amrtavani answers of my previous letter. I had never heard such secreat story of Ramayana. So it is very interesting to know the story and the kindness of Rama. In the BRS 2:1: 27 the slokas and its translation there is a number (…) in the translation. At first I can’t understand the number then when I took NOD for reference, in the book there are nos. in the NOD. The number mentioned in the translation of BRS is the same nos. mentioned in the NOD. So now, I can graps the idea in a better way. As Guruji instruct me to read and take reference of NOD in reading BRS I always read NOD first and then BRS. Actually, BRS is the textual with Sangskrit sloka and translation but NOD is more elaboration of different words, slokas and meanings.

Last Sunday the 31^st Dec. 2017 I had naratted Bhagavatam 9:14:1-10 slokas. Here also I took so many quotations and references from BRS. It is so helpful for me for giving references in relation to Bhakti but it is my first round reading, after 2^nd or more rounds I can graps to real meaning could explain in better way.

On the 14^th Jan. 2018 we ten bhaktas and matajis will go Toubul the birth place of Sripada Maharaja (Dr. T.D.Singh) and join the celebration of Dr. Sarda D.D’s 1^st initiation Day. If time is available, we want to sing a group Guru Bandana and some selected Nama sangkirtana.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Jaya!!!!      Srila Rupa Goswami Prabhupada will certainly be pleased with anyone who tries to hear his Bh. Rasamrta Sindhu.   Change the world, change the world, change the world!!!!!

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva, please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

In fact it is strange to write again, it seems that from my thoughts to my actions there are many years of Brahma in between.

This is very difficult for me, I'm confused, I feel lonely, dirty. The decision by majority was to leave the temple. To tell you the truth, I thought that everything would be simpler. "It's not a good time for you to be here" - they told me. "Follow your dreams, I'm glad you're flying".  Is it recommended to look for a job? To study? Go to another ksetra to intensify my sadhana? Or go back to the temple? My spiritual desires are mixed with my reality and conditioning.

So many fantasies, memories, and ideas pass through my head. I really put myself at your feet, my vision is very short, my senses very impertinent.

I know I must go little by little so I don't fall. My main objective is only to fulfill my promise. A year has passed since that very lucky moment for me, I did not deserve it. But I thank you infinitely for carrying me. I feel so weak without your closeness.

Mom agrees with everything I do, she wants to visit the Cueramaro farm with the devotees. Mother Gauravani insists that she spends some time there. Dad quit smoking. I warned him about the risks of doing it... Other family members have tried some prasada that I have prepared for them. I missed so much spending time with them.

I want to continue painting. I have read more about God in Prabhupada's books. Purification from Sankirtan, distributing books, is truly refreshing, a relief, a respite for the soul. I was going on buses, person to person, on Harinama... Different modalities until finding myself. The temple president, didn't let me out, I think sooner or later he was going to, unfortunately, after some talk, I thanked him and apologized.

So I've been living outside the temple for a month, still adapting and taking care of some aspects of my karma. I understand that I still need to purify myself. For the time being I remain waiting intensely for you, or until I can visit you.

I say goodbye to you Gurumaharaj, but not before presenting my Gaura-Nitai... Can I have them? and / or worship them? They came to me during the year, I inherit Them from a Srila Prabhupada's disciple after having helped her a couple of days when she stayed at the ashrama. This is her story, They were careless and obscure, but now They are shining. Deva Dharshan prabhu is helping me take care of them since now I have build a place for Them at home. Is this okay? What name should They have?

Your aspiring disciple Dadhisara Devi Dasi 

HpS - Hare Krsna.    ....   Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai is fine. Yes, keep Them. 1. Love Them, 2. Keep Them clean, 3. Offer punctual service, 4. Increase the rules and regulations as time and place permite.

Offer Incense, Lamp, Flower, Fragrant Oil, Food.  Have Mangala arati for them and in the Evening. Bhajana and Kirtan. Hope your new Ashrama situation is fun!!!
