Your servant Namacarya das
HpS - ASA - Jaya! AGTSP paoho. O.K. Lets start a Reading Group with anyone else who has a copy of the book with the next Kapi Dhvaja.
Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.
Hope you are in good health & writing a nice book for us.
After a long time, am writing to you. While we check the blog, every day.
First, want to share about KG:
1. Wake-up between 3:00 - 3:15 AM
2. Chanting 17 rounds
3. Lecture and Study - BG
4. Lecture - SB
5. Puja
6. Cooking
7. Offering
8. Office
9. Study - BG
We have changed our schedule a bit. More focused on BG Study. Has set target date to complete by December 31, 2014.
Then, will start SB.
Schedule has been changed as per instruciton of Shiksa Guru (H G Gopendra Prabhu, Vrndavana). And the same has been informed to local Shiksa Guru (H G Balram Hari Prabhu, Pune).
Office work as usual.
Gurudev, Do you have any schedule for India for "Kartik" in Vrndavan?
HpS - We are so so happy to hear from you. We saw your letters and wanted to read them sooner but they were not marked 'Urgent' so we are just coming to them in order of receiving them. It is so nice to hear from you.
Are you using some Study Guide for the BG study???
We go where Krsna takes us but now looks like we will get to India like October 2015. It is a long way to travel and our Donkey is rather old.
Gurudev, Please advise on 2nd Initiation. If you permit, would like to go for 2nd initiation.
HpS - ASA -- Your Sadhana seems like a Brahmana. Your association seems the same. I think you just have to get the Bh.Sastri certificate and then of course approval by President. We would like to visit Pune. In three days is the Kapi Dhvaja. We will try to write more about our "Book Writing".
Gurudev, Question : How you chant in your mind, how you meditate on Prasadam!!
HpS - We remember that Prabhupada says that in Kali yuga best is Maha-mantra with lips and voice and three Gayatri sandyas silently.
Prasadam we meditate on many ways but one of the best, most fun is meditating on what we will offer to Lord Nrsmhadeva. We want a nutritious diet for Him. O.K. You??
Thank you, Guru Dev.
your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das
HpS - What kind of preaching are you able to do at work?
Dear Swamiji,
PAMHO. AGTSP. I don’t know if you remember me, this is Bhakta Ken from Bezerkeley. After years of exile I’ve surfaced in Bali, Indonesia. I’m trying to get the nectar of the association of the devotees here. I would like to invite you to visit us here and give us the mercy.
your servant,
Bhakta Ken
HpS - Jaya! AGTSP. I don't remember you specifically. Any pastimes we shared? What years were you there? Who else was there? Bali, Bali, Bali.... if God wants we will be there in a flash. Other wise it would not be in the near future!!! But hearing from you about the Sankirtana there is wonderful.
Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I just read in your latest Kapidvaja that you are considering Denver at the end of July or beginning of August. Please do. The invitation is there. We are working on developing a Bhakti Sastri course.
Your servant, Jayasacisuta dasa
HpS - ASA --- Jaya! Jaya! Jaya! Srila Prabhupada! Paoho. What is your phone number. We have tried to call you. It would be like 1st or third week in August. Is O.K???
Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!
Todas las Glorias a Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu!!!
Todas las Glorias a Usted!!!
Querido Gurudeva por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias a sus pies una y otra vez, estamos cantando 16 rondas, cuatro principios y asistiendo a Mangala artic lo mas constante pocible (aun es un problema para mi el Mangala artic), tubimos mucha micericordia al poder tener su asociacion para Goura Purnima, tambien Prabhupada me dio la miscericordia de poder cocinar para, SG Mahatma Das y poder servirle por 15 dias se que no soy la mas cualificada pero pude tomar ese servicio gracias a las bendiciones de los devotos.
Ahora con nuevas noticias Gurudeva, estoy planeando un viaje a Houston por 4 semanas, todo se dio muy rapido por la micericordia de Krishna, mi visa Americana fue aprovada en solo 3 dias, y un viaje gratis hasta Houston se ha manifestado, solo que ahun no se que dias Usted estara en Houston me quedare si Krishna quiere hasta despues de la Inaguracion, estableci contacto con Madre Unmada Devi Dasi para ver si podia ospedarme con ella, ella es dicipula de SS Guru Prasad Swami ella es de Peru, pero solo podre estar en su casa dos semanas por que ella alojara a mas devotos para el festival, ella me sugirio que le escribiera y le comentara esto, para pedir su orientacion de como podria encontrar un lugar para ospedarme las dos semanas restantes ya que no conosco como es la politica del Templo, tengo una carta de recomendacion del templo para mi, pero no se si eso sea suficiente para quedarme bajo el refugio del templo en Houston o con alguna familia de devotos que vivan cerca, por favor Gurudeva pido su orientacion e instruccion, estare llegando a Houston el 15 de Abril si Krishna quiere y regresare a Mexico el 20 de Mayo, espero poder verle y poder servirle si Krishna y Usted me lo permite.
Su aspirante a sirviente Saranagati Dasi
HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho. We have ticket to be in Houston from 14th-21st. Innauguration in 16-18th. Viernes a Domingo. If you don't speak English it will be difficult for you unless you have a devotee friend who speaks English to help you.
All the contacts I have would have to communicate with you in English. The Teacher Training program will be the third week in July.
O.K?
Dear Gurumaharaja.
Hare Krsna AGTSP, PAMHO
Dear Gurumaharaja!
Sadhana is very strong in the Chicago temple, 15 bcaris, a lot of preach increasing in spring and summer times. I’m the new halwai of kishor kishori, making diferent sweets for them. A lot of services in the temple and a lot of preaching. It is so difficult to be balanced, the days turn very short. I opened a bhakti club in Truman Collage where I’m studying and I’m taking care of one bhakti club in Loyola University, the students are very enthusiastic. I’m preaching profusely in order to expand Latin preaching through harinama, book distribution, advertisement. Rick Warren’s book about how to lead a church is very helpful to me now a days.
I started 2 Canto Bhakti Vaibhava, and giving complete sections in SB classes about 6 canto in the temple. It’s hard to digest all that knowlege.
HpS - ASA -- AGTSP paoho. Who is leading the Bh. Vai. programs?
The only reason why I’m doing this is because I have this sense of gratitude with You, Srila Prabhupada and Iskcon, other wise, I can not handle with this. However is very extatic also, and everyday i'm traying to increase my conection with the dieties and japa.
The temple president of Chicago temple wants to invite You. So he ask me about your email, but i dont know which e mail I can give to him to be in touch with you.
I'm thinking that we can organize in northwestern or loyola university a program or even the community here the never hear about Ligth Of Bhagavata or how to present the book. Or a festival with the latin community which is big in Chicago. That's all for now Gurudeva
I hope you recive this letter good of health.
ys Etasa-krsna das
HpS - Yes, Sadhana bhakta means to understand what are the priorities. It is a great art. You can see our calendar on the Kapi-dhvaja. Maybe we can come to Chicago, but now we are just getting our foundation set here in Tennessee. Without that we cannot develop anything very substantial, always running the car in first gear.
Let us see how things go after a few more weeks. Already there is so much improvement. Regular diet. Regular writing. Regular eye strain. (Ha! Ha!).
Priorities, how soon will we have to leave this body....
