Guru Maharaja' s India journey next year

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja,


Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you Guru Maharaja.


Guru Maharaja, we, the devotees in Silchar, Assam are very happy in hearing of your coming to India next year. Please give us strength that we may be able to serve you in your full satisfaction. We are fools, please guide us in proper direction. Our humble request is that Guru Maharaja please stay in India for a longer time during this visit so that we may render vapu seva for a longer time. I heard that Manipuri devotees are also prepared for receiving you there. We are very much eager to see you soon in India. Thank you, Guru Maharaja.


In July this year, during summer vacation, I went to Mayapur for 10-15 days. During my stay in Mayapur, I got the opportunity to serve many senior Vaisnavas. I presented some gifts to HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaja through his assistants and I was blessed to hear some live classes of Maharaja. And, by the blessings of Sri Sri Radha Madhava, I also got the opportunity to render some humble services to HG Jananivasa Prabhuji in 3-4 instances. In the first meeting with Prabhuji, I offered him some Daksina. I prepared a small letter for the next meeting. When I meet him again, I took permission to read out the letter stating “Please bless me Prabhuji so that I may serve my Guru Maharaja and Srila Prabhupada until my last breath”. I read out, presented some gifts and paid obeisances. Prabhuji was so merciful that he put his hands on my head for a long time in such a way that I felt like some spiritual energy was transferring to me. I was so happy that day, Guru Maharaja. Guru Maharaja, visiting Mayapur is always full of transcendental mellows. 


Guru Maharaja, while purchasing your hearing aid, we did collection of 55,000/- INR and transferred it to HG Devandra Krishna Prabhuji’s Indian account. Thank you, Guru Maharaja, for giving us such kind of personal seva even if you are far away from us. 


I am chanting my rounds regularly. I have been completing 16 rounds daily before 8.00 am. I have been doing book distribution seva also. I visit Silchar Temple regularly even if the temple is far from my place. Guru Maharaja, please give some important instructions of my life. I am an unmarried woman with weak physique. Frequently, loneliness disturbs me very much and affected my sadhana and sevas. Please help me Guru Maharaja.


HpS - AgtSP. Thank you for letter. Chanakhya Pandita says that victory comes from good advice and good advice comes from many counselors.

So, pray to Krsna to get many people to give you advice about these practical things about gender, strength etc.

Of course, Kunti, Gandhari, Draupadi, Radha, yasoda, devaki, no one was happy in material life, but that is good. because material happiness is like try to eat a picture of a mango.

live in the little bubble of time and space created by following the lotus feet of his divine grace, srila prabhupada.

make many people happy with your big, big smile; nice comportment and nice kirtan, sankirtan.

expect Krsna to make arrangements for you to be well situated in his personal sankirtan party.


We just published the fixed entry and exit dates for India, and the proposed dates for travel within india.


We are really only comfortable with thinking that at 77 years old we may leave our body at any moment and so we do not plan much for staying long any one place.


Thank you all, for all your help!!!


Your most fallen servant,


Manjuali Devi dasi

BODY, MIND, SPIRIT

  • Body expected to be steady with hearing-aid, heart medication and maybe cataract surgery for three to five years. After that expecting some more adjustments, new body. Maybe die at any moment! 🤔
  • Mind has less local awareness but Intellect developing.
  • Hari-kirtan/Japa, Spiritual development advancing as Srila Prabhupada promises. Mostly like Hanuman in Kali yuga - Sitting on Arjuna's flagstaff. Roaring from time to time. Dreaming of all kinds of possible Sankirtan. Responding to questions, invitations, sleep-walking.


Involved In

  • ISKCON Houston, Cinema Resources and Production Department, development with Dean Pablo, Master Abhaya Joshi and Temple Administration.

  • NIOS with Dr. Samaresh, Abhirama Thakura Das, Srinivasa Das, Abhisheka Das et al.

Querido Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Es una gran noticia saber que finalmente ha decidido venir a España y darnos su asociación. Estamos muy contentos por ello. Si Dios quiere estaremos en el aeropuerto esperando su llegada el dia 25. Si Papa Noel viene en el mismo vuelo y no tiene vehiculo tambien podemos llevarlo a Nueva Vrajamandala.

En cuanto a hacer algún programa en la Universidad Complutense, parece difícil en esas fechas. En Navidad la Universidad está cerrada y los profesores, tradicionalmente, suelen estar con sus familias. Quizás a la vuelta de India podríamos mirar algo. De los contactos de profesores que tengo en Antropologia ( Borja, Alex y Mónica), creo que solo Mónica sigue en la Universidad Complutense (no se si tiene alumnos o esta en algún cargo administrativo). La última vez que contacté con Borja estaba en Alemania y Alex en Málaga -los dos trabajaban con Mónica en la UCM pero ya han volado del nido. Le preguntaré a Mónica si se puede hacer algún programa en la Universidad o nos puede presentar a algún compañero que pueda tener interés.

En lo personal, ya llevo casi cuatro meses viviendo en Brihuega y la experiencia es bastante positiva. Programa matinal completo de lunes a viernes y la asociación de devotos que se han tomado en serio la vida espiritual. Además de los devotos españoles, tenemos visitas de otros devot@s itinerantes como Purushatraya Swami, Arcita Prabhu, Murti devi dasi (Brasil), etc. que nos inspiran con su ejemplo para seguir con entusiasmo el proceso.

Quedamos a la espera de sus noticias y necesidades para poder atenderlo lo mejor que podamos.

Esperando se encuentre bien de salud (al menos mental) se despide

su sirviente

Jayanta das


HpS/ASA - TlgaSP!!! pfanrh.... gracias su car ta ta.... si, entendo de las fechas. idea es que posible podemos reuna con unos professores o otros, devotos academicos, payasos, cual quiere, para realizar programas despuese de volver de india.

esta contruido su caban en nvm???????


Naru's letter about Sadhana and more

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!!!

AgtSP

PAMHO


Forgive me for the long time with no news,


HpS - AgtSP!! I think that is something we both have to apologize for, no? Of course, to some degree we just have other priorities that we need to do.


... after stopping my relationship with that young lady I was a bit lost, I stopped chanting all of my rounds and I didn't got any plans after that, was very hard for me because I think I was very attached to her but always Krsna does the right thing.


HpS - I think it was right thing, not to think about going into Grhastha ashrama with her as your partner. As we have heard and seen, for the wife to be older than the husband is very, very, big challenge. Srila Prabhupada's comment is that it is lot of work for wife to have natural respect and deference for husband who is younger than her. Maybe requires God Himself to intervene.

Yet, it does not mean that you cannot look at someone like her as a big sister.


So after that experience I moved out to a temple in Germany called Goloka Dhama, they were amazing and the deities took my heart, I was there from the 27th of August till the 29th of September.


HpS - Long time!


Now I'm living in New Mayapur in France and probably I will go back to Germany for a few weeks to get some money and be able to travel to see you in Spain.


Anyways Krsna is always has a plan and now that I'm here I something really nice just happened, I meet a not so old mataji (maybe 40 years old) that wants to open a Gurukula in New Mayapur, for some reason I was speaking to her and I told her that I'm the oldest from 8 siblings and that I can speak 4 lenguages (Spanish, Portuguese, English and German with intentions to learn at least 3 more) and she invite me to form part of the teacher group in the Gurukula, of first she told me to ask for your blessing and also start so do some online studies so I be a teacher with certifications.


Also since a few time I was thinking to be a teacher but the "modern" way of giving classes is totally unattractive for me so I think is a good chance to be a teacher in a safe devotee enviroment.


That Gurukula if Krsna allows it will start in September of the next year.


Also how are you?


HpS - As you describe it, the situation seems nice. What age students would you be teaching? I think it might be good for you and the school to make a commitment for a specific time, eg. one year. two years.

To start even for a few months.

Then do it even if there is some difficulty, and everyone reevaluate after the time is finished.

Not to join with an open ended commitment.


I always ask for you health but also how do you feel?


HpS - Our health is very good for a 77-year old American Donkey. AgtSP!


I'm now chanting all of my rounds going to morning program every day and doing Cow seva in the Goshala, also I'm taking care of the seva of 2 kids, they kind of remember me to some of my siblings.


HpS - Big Brother! 👹


Please accept my most humble obeisanses.

Hope that health is good at this time.

Haribol :D


ASA - =[;0]/\___ Send some news about the Yatra next month.

Interest..! Traveling with ASA

Hare Krishna, Gurudev dandavat pranama...

Pamho agtSp...;


HpS - So nice, agtSP, to get your association.


I saw in your WhatsApp channel that you need actors and director I have interest to know whats your plan for that and what is all about. Maybe we can help with this artistic project...

I hope you're in good health and that we can see each other soon

Your servant

Parama Karuna das



HpS - Thank you. We were referring to travel companions et al, for this tour: Nashville, Dallas, Madrid (NVM), Chile, Lima, USA.

Because of our general abilities at 77-years old, we should probably be traveling with a companion.

Of course, if we have attendant to and from the airplane door, then we should expect good care by the airlines.

NIOS has funds to contribute to travel costs of people.

Of course, the overwhelming nature of anything realistic in Kali-yuga is Sankirtan, so, while traveling, we are looking for partners in Sankirtan, movie making, improvisational theater.

Right now. I think we will travel alone mostly to Spain, as the tickets on our flight to Madrid have probably gone through the roof by now.

Then, India, Santiago... probably with Yadu Swami.

Yet, if someone wants to go along with their ideas of Sankirtan. Filming whatever ASA TSKP does that is fine with us.

We publish our itenararies.

Thank you.!
