"Hare Krsna Maharaj Dandavat Pranams. Srila Prabhupada ki jai.  

I called you to talk to you about your visit to Boise. After talking to Radhika the most optimal dates will be say from Sep 19 to after Radhastami. We have some alternate dates also but the above seems to be best. I will fly over and accompany you. Southwest has a 40% off sale. I need to buy tickets by this Thursday so please call me. 

I am sorry I could not reply to your message earlier. Thanks.

YS Anantarupa das.


ASA Babbles:

Thank you!

16th Saturday is our Nashville festival. If you or anyone could come in time for that, that would be great. We could leave the day after, 17th Sunday, very early, and maybe be in time for the Sunday Festival.

🛫


How long we stay?


Maybe someone from here would like to take us and stay. If that is the case, we save one round trip ticket.


Seems best to buy now, though, no?

SWA tickets are not lost. Can use the credit for one year, no?

I'll post this and call.


How long to stay in Boise?

Sraddha foe Gauri Devi Dasi

"Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Pamho🙏AGTSP!! It's Rukmini dd. On behalf of my family, thank you very much for your response to my letter and your prayers to my grandmother. She indeed had an auspicious departure. We have one last question, we'd appreciate your reply. When would you recommend us to perform the sradha ceremony? She left her body on June 10th.", Rukmini Devi Dasi


HpS- ASA --- We don't know how many days after the departure? Maybe a reader knows and can write. We recommend keep the departed on our thoughts, Bhuvar Mandala, because that creates an auspicius atmosphere for them.

Seems like having their picture and giving them Mahaprasadam at the Sunday feast is the best Sraddha ceremony. Describe the departed's qualities and chant HK//HR for them.

Thank you!

Initiation in Richmond

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja


Please accept my humble Obeisance's and kindly forgive my offenses.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you.


Dayal Nitai Gaura Chandra ki Jai!!


I'm Krishna from Richmond.


I Spoke with Divyanam Das Prabhuji about initiation. He will share the recommendation letter directly with you Guru Maharaja.


Can we have in-person initiation ceremony in Richmond Dayal Nitai caitanya candra's home.? Please give us permission Guru Maharaja.


Always serving your lotus feet.


Thank you Gurumaharaja. Haribol!


HpS - Thank you! Srila Prabhupada is pleased when we formally sign-up for membership in his army, no? So, much work to do. So, much.

Our gross body is not traveling so much now.


Minimum is that someone pick us up at the door and deliver us back to our door.

Allegiante Air has direct flights between Nashville and Richmond on Thursday and Sunday.

Maybe someone could come for our festival on the Satruday the 15th of July and we could go back together on Sunday and then come back the following weekend????


Hmmm?

Murari Sevaka Farm Temple

Hare Krsna Maharaj 🙏 please accept my humble obeisances. Jai Prabhupad! 🙏


Yes Maharaj I can take you with me to go to Murari Sevaka sometime soon and Pravine Prabhu can come with us.


HpS - "Soon", I don't know! It may be months before we stick our head out from under 902 Hillcrest Dr. Hmmm! We are all hoping for the Yamaduttas who took Dhruva Maha-raja, no?


Every Saturday at 3:45pm they have Bhagavad-Gita Program so maybe that could be a good time. not sure if murfreesboro group devotees can come on a Saturday but I can ask.


HpS - How long is the drive from M'boro to/from Murari?

Is there just BG? No Kirtan or Deity worship?


Yes please let me know if a Saturday soon can work for you Maharaj, I would be more than happy to drive you and Jaya Hari Prabhu.

Hare Krsna Maharaj 🙏😊


HpS - Now we have just started spending Saturdays with guests here at 902 Hillcrest Dr. July 15th Saturday in the park.

Murari is in our calculations.

Forest beauty!

Hare Krishna!

Please accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to you!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Thanks so much for sharing about the state parks. I'm here at Finger Lakes State park, it's a beautiful place to chant and read.

I was going to go on a Japa walk, but then my camping neighbor saw me and asked if I was Buddhist. We got to talking and he said that he read Bhagavad Gita As it is!

I gave him a copy of "If attacked I'll chant Hare Krishna", and a temple song book. we read from Srimad Bhagavatam and Light of the Bhagavata!


It was really beautiful to show the pictures from the LOB in the middle of a forest with all the birds chirping.


ASA - "Chir Ping" 🐦 . . 🐦


I thought of you when the page turned to the picture of the renounced monk. And then I also remembered the LOB seminar in Boise.


HpS - Wonder Filled Book!! 😆


I guess I just wanted to say thanks for everything. I appreciate you so much and it's really beautiful out here!!

Hare Krishna!!


Part Two

I'm here at the RVC [Rupa-anuga Vedic College] and I had a conversation about the training program.

They are sleeping from 9p-3am. (So this is kinda late for the "get up early and get your rounds done" program...) (what do you think??)


ASA - No, that is fine. Get your rounds done early can be before Mangala arati, before breakfast, before 10AM, 13-before breakfast . . .


Then a full morning program and other programs during the day.

The focus here is teamwork and chanting during the brahma murhurta, and they have an amazing program of reading, book distribution, and Harinam every day!


HpS/ASA - Super!


This program is so blissed out!! It's the spiritual world!!!!


ASA - Discussed enrolling?


Your servant,

Jaya Hari Das


ASA - More!
