Personal Sadhana and Mandir report of THOUBAL

All Glories to Sri A.C. Prabhupada Maharaja, Sri Sripada Maharaja, Sri HpS Maharaja. Ki Jay!

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay and Gourabhakta Vrnda Ki Jay!

 ASA - Yanumesvara, Balarama Ji, Ki Jai!  All Yamunesvara Das, Ki Jai!

Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja!

Please accept my umble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja’s padmacaran that tomorrow I read out the Bhagavatam 8.22.32-36. It is a new experience for me.

HpS - So nice!  No?    Bali-maharaja received a very nice benediction. He had a peaceful situation where he could serve Krsna!!  Like Radha Govinda coming to Manipura?

Now I am reading the book “The Glories of Sri Navadvipa-dham : Sri Navadvipa dhama Mahatmya By Srila Sac-cid-ananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura presented by Bhanu Swami and Pundarika Vidyanidhi Dasa.

In the chapter – 5 : Shri Mayapur and Antardvipa; it is clearly mentioned that Vansivadana is none other than Krsna’s dear flute, by whose mercy the living entities become attracted to Krsna. They then develop great thirst, to attain the rasa dance.

HpS - Dance with Krsna and others!

Sri Jiva Gosvami asked Nityananda the meaning of Antardvipa. Nityainanda replied at the end of Dvapra yuga Brahma undertook austerities here with a desire to achieve Gouranga’s mercy. The present Navadvipa is the Vrndavan of Dvapara. Thinking this Brahma began meditation and performing austerities in Antardvipa.

Another point [from Brahma to Gaura?] having given up the illusion, that I want to take birth in Your association and sing Your glories. “ Hearing Brahma’s prayer, Lord Gauranga benedicted him saying, “So be it. When My pastimes become visible on earth, you will take birth in a yavana’s house. Your name will be Haridasa Thakura, and you will be famous for your humility and completely free from all pride. You will chant three hundred thousand names a day, and when you pass from this world you will be seeing Me. And at the end of the second one hundred tillion years of your life, you will attain Navadvipa and be absorlbed in eternal rasa”. I am continuing …..

HpS - ASA - Thank you so much!!! We have very nice picture, deities of Nitai and Nimai, from one devotee young lady in Mexico. She is a very, very great book distributor. She has gone out to distribute books even though she has been coughing up blood. Your letter lets us see them even better. We are in Mayapura here because they are here!

A team of 10-12 initiated bhaktas and matagis of our Mandir are planning to take part the full Navadvipa Parikrama (20 days before Gaura Purnima) next year. The programme will be Imphal to Kolkatta to and fro by flight and stay at Mayapur until the end of the parikrama. Guruji! Have You participated such parikrama in the past?

HpS - We went on the second one, many, many years ago with Lokanatha Swami. Mahavisnu Swami and others. Only about 175 devotees.

If not, we want to participate the parikrama with You next year instead of coming directly in Imphal because we have no time to serve Guruji and hear Guruji’s Amtavani (Advice). It is our simple suggestion please doesn’t take otherwise. We are waiting Guruji’s opinion.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Our humble obeisances to all Manipuri Bhaktas. We are trying to plan our Calendar now. They want us to come to India for Kartika, passing through Hawaii and Australia. Right now we can't see any clear plan beyond end of July. We listen very carefully to these suggestions and ideas and then try to see what plan we can make for best service to Krsna.

We will leave this body soon. It is old.

Urgent: Topic tu one of the public conferences

7 years, 11 months ago by jagad.guru.das in Calendar Development

Dear Guru Maharaj,
HpS-ASA - AGTSP! Paoho.

We have the whole itinerary <s>planning</s> [planned] day by day but we should [need to] confirm as [soon as] possible <s>as we can </s>the date[s] <s>to</s> [of] the two public conferences in the strategic places.


One of them is the "Biblioteca Nacional" and there, Rodrigo Hernández sugiere que presentar "Two Princess: Hamlet & Arjuna" instead something linked to Carl Jung due will be the first time of the theme in a place like this.

ASA - We contemplate how to realize his suggestion.

Due my experience in Peru I realize that we should invite to teachers and from universities and authorities and leaders to this kind of events to make new friends and alliances in the future.

ASA - Nobody is too big. We have such nice contribution even though our presentation of it may not be completely perfect.

So, our urgent question to check this place or other instead,  is to define the main topic, so I would to like what do you think about this proposal about Hamlet & Arjuna or if your prefer something about "Art and the Sacred". We would like to know.

HpS - "Hamlet and Arjuna" seems to be fine! Of course, it relates to archetypes.
We should aim to distribute BBT books, engage people in studying them with us and then they distributing books also. Happy life!

Thank you very much for this opportunity to serve you and to the Sankirtana Movement.

Hare Krsna Gurudev

HpS - Please send the itenarary as you have it now, no?  We can look at it. Raoul Zurit, others? Nice to have a cycle of lectures and discussions. Stay with the same themes for several days so people can join us for all of them. Some at our Temple, some in Universities...   We want to help your Sankirtan.

Querido Gurumaharaja:

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias!

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 

Leimos el Kapi Dhvaja pero no supimos leer bien el calendario.

Ya encontré los datos

June 21st – July 26th – Mexico, Peru, Chile, Bolivia,

21[We] – IAH – MEX (6.00AM – 8.30AM), MEX – LIM [5.00PM – 10.45PM] In Mexico City for at least six hours.

Muchisimas gracias por la corrección!!

En días pasados platicamos con los hermanos espirituales, si Usted esta de acuerdo podemos ir a la casa de Saranagati.

ASA - Por que no, casa del Presidente?   Enrique Peña Nieto?    Cual es el humor de la gente en esta estacion?   Todas han ido a la playa??    Programas culturales, artisticos?  Professores, alumnos, politicos, abogados disponible para un almuerzo Miercoles?

Alguna instrucción para nosotros?

HpS - Glorifica Srila Prabhupada mejor! 

Algún vaisnava que requiera ver en particular ese día?

HpS - Todos que podemos, no?

Japitas para Perú?

HpS - Ya hay suficiente. Esperamos pasar por migraciones, aduana rapido. Solamente equipaje de mono.

Disculpe nuestras ofensas por favor.

HpS - ASA -- No es posible. Tiene que pagar una gran multa de tamales para Sr. Nrsmhadeva!

Vuestra eterna servidora 

Asta Sakhi dd. 

HpS - ASA --- Reverencias a todos!    Esperamos sus respuestas!

URGENTE INTERVIEWS

7 years, 12 months ago by Sananda in Hot Topics, Calendar Development

HARE KRSNA, GURUDEVA,

PAOHO, AGTSP!

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT UNFORTUNATELY GRACIANO CANCELLED THE INTERVIEW THAT WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN ON FRIDAY.

ALMENDRO WILL ALSO NOT MAKE IT FOR THIS WEDNESDAY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL A CHANCE TO MEET  YOU NEXT WEEK (HE WILL LET ME KNOW IF HE CAN...).

WE HAVE THE USA-SPAIN ADAPTER, WE WILL BRING IT TO THE UNIVERSITY ON THURSDAY.

HpS - ASA --- Jaya.    AGTSP.  Now they are 3.30PM.  We are sitting at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet in the Temple Room in New Vraja Mandala.   Antonio, the cowherd, got us an adapter at the Brihuega Chinese store, then another devotee said that Jayanta had sent two types. Well, I guess we can keep them for use by visiting USA devotees that Krsna seems to be arranging to send!

Editorial Siruela??  Podemo visitar?

So, sad that we cannot meet anybody for these interviews!   Such a great loss for them that they cannot apprecate, enter,  the KRSNA book!!    We continue to try to meet new people, no?

ASPIRING TO SERVE YOU [even more]

Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, AGTSP, All glories to your service.

HpS - AGTSP, Mate!!!    Paoho....    Thank you so much for the letter.  We have been looking for tickets. Seems best flight to Hawaii is from San Francisco and from Hawaii to Sidney via Jetstar.  Is it and O.K?  airlines?

Jetstar is fine. Quality budget airline. Please give us your desired flight details so we can arrange ticket for you.

HpS - Preaching programs will depend on our contacts there also. Like last time Dr. Samaresh arranged a strong program with Dr. Mabbett.

Great! I remember visiting Dr Mabbett at Monash University last time you came. Krishna willing, mercy will be distributed. 

While recollecting your recollection of Raktak prabhu I was walking down the street and caught myself as one of the young flag raisers.

HpS - Jaya!   We are in the airport in Atlanta. They are starting to load Delta Flight 108!!   Guess this is an authorized trip.   We are moving ahead with the Sankirtan army!!!  India, Peru, Murfressboro, Hawaii, Kolkatta!!!!         Looking at the calendar again and again. We get back from Peru 26th July. Then we would be traveling again about one month or even three weeks later!    Ooof!        Food for thought!
We hope to refine more and more our Sankirtan focus so we can take a really effective place in this Orchestra. What is your position?  Position of your friends and family?
