On Whatsapp, HpS to N. A. Das in Houston after NAD posted the dates of Romapada Swami presening LoB seminar in Houston in November, Thanksgiving:

Super (not supper). Thank you so much. 23 November (of 2023) is Thanksgiving Day.

We have had little dialog with Maharaja about LoB and would like to work more with him. Very seriously hoping we can come to Texas those days. Any service for us?

NAD: Hare Krsna Hanumat Presak Swami, 

I have forwarded your message to Saranga Thakur Prabhu (Temple President). He told me that he will follow up with you. 

Thanks. 

Copy to Saranga Thakur Prabhu

HpS - Thank you! I had much longer talk with Maharaja and still would like to come. Was thinking of texting President Saranga Das, but is nicer that you have done it.

Now we are in Richmond for a week.

First trip out after returning to Nashville few months ago.

We have only been able to do it because Subal Das came to get us and will take us back.

🙂

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🏻

Please, accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

This is the current schedule of devotees for leading kirtan on Full Morning Service:

● MONDAY: H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami.

● TUESDAY: Govardhana das, Mitravinda devi dasi.

● WEDNESDAY: Yugala Kishora dasi, Jagad Guru das.

● THURSDAY: Tarangaksi devi dasi, Caturatma das.

● FRIDAY: Abhinanda das, Deva Vrata das.

Gurudeva, I sent the devotees the requirements for kirtan leaders that you wrote in response to the previous schedule.

HpS - Super! Especially: "We are already accustomed to chant these two mantras — śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu-nityānanda śrī-advaita gadādhara śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda and Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Now, after these, the other two lines — namely haraye namaḥ, kṛṣṇa yādavāya namaḥ/ gopāla govinda rāma śrī-madhusūdana — should be added". . .".

Hare Krishna Maharaja and Devotees;

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

On Saturday, July 8, 2023, Maharaja is going to be busy in doing home programs in Richmond, Virginia, so it won't be possible to have our regular Saturday Morning workshop on July 8, 2023.

This coming Saturday and Sunday, we will have two consecutive classes for our regular SB workshop.

The Sunday class will be held to cover for class we are going to miss on Saturday July 8, 2023. On this Saturday we will be reading from CC Adi lila, chapter 14, verses 70 onwards.

Thank you to everyone for valuable association.

Hare Krishna, guru maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Maharaja, we are very excited to hear that you will be visiting us in September. Anantarupa prabhu has bought my ticket to fly with you back to Tennessee and I was hoping to stay for a few days. So can I be there from Wednesday the 27th to the evening of Saturday the 30th of September. Is that okay with you?

HpS - Seems fine with us. Your mercy! Whole week of festivals. We can develop a lot of Sankirtan.

I like to sleep on the floor and I can cook, clean and do any other menial services.

HpS - How about Brahminical services!? 😄

We want to thank you again for giving Yamuna her middle name. ~Tarangita~ It very much suits her so far. Waves of the Yamuna river. Fresh. Not stagnant. Anantarupa Prabhu says that she will bring waves of bhakti to the Boise temple and the astrologer says she will start preaching very successfully at age 15.

HpS/ASA - Jaya!

Also, I wanted to let you know that we have a wonderful new pujari from Nepal named Madhava prabhu. It was a long process getting him here but thanks to Radhika Raman Prabhu and Anadi’s strong and diligent effort he is now taking very good care of Radha Bankebihari. I also really like him. His association has been a very good thing.

HpS - So, nice!!!

I hope this finds you very well.

Your aspiring servant,

Nitisara das

HpS - Look for the internal intelligence that Bankibihari gives you to find the internal thread to reach your neighbors in Boise for the Sankirtan of Lord Caitanya!

Hope our Kapi Dhvaja and this Blog and Twitter are useful!!!

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva.

Please accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

HpS - Thank you so much.

Best Kirtan on the planet!

👍

😾

1. Are all the Leaders chanting 16-nice rounds a day and following four principles strictly?
2. Are they keeping FMS at home or in the GoToMeeting?
3. Do they know the word-by-word meaning of the Gurvastaka?
4. Have they read:

?

🐐

What stupid questions? How should she know?!!

HpS - Maybe can encourage Leaders to follow some standard. We go forward to cultural conquest!

Thank you so much!

Please give our best wishes to Christina if you are in contact with her. Ask her to send some news to the Blog.

ArD WhatsApp:

BNA to Boi Sept 18 [Mon] SW flight leaves at 8:20 AM arrives at 4:45 PM. $161 per person; 

Boi to BNA on 27 [Wed] SW flight leaves at 5:45 Am arrive BNA at 1:20 PM $161.

I will come on Sept 15 on Delta flight that will get in 6:20 PM.

Nitisaar prabhu wants to escort you back to Nashville from Boi on 27th.

Please look it over, I will call you in 30 minutes if that is okay.

These are all reduced fares. Nitisaar prabhu would like to serve you for a day more (until you leave for Richmond) if that is okay with you.

HpS/ASA:

Thank you for the call et al. As we discussed, this seems like nice arrangement.

We have three months now to work out details of a nice program.

We don't have any proposal from RichMond.

I was thinking about the Rathayatra, and it seems it could absorb too much time? The visit is short and if there is too much kitchen, cart construction, festival site setup, then we won't have time to sit together individually and collectively.

We'll post this all in the Blog to see what is the opinion of the other frogs

Thank you.

IMHO, The chariot is already sitting in the shed. Your presence will bring excitement, fervor and unity, and extra devotees to have a nice festival.

You will be here for eight days.

If we spend 2 days for Ratha Yatra there are still 6 days for individual and group ishagoshtis.
