Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - Jaya!!! AgtSP.... Paoho..... Thank you so, so, so, so much for this letter. Thank you!

I’m still here chanting 16 rounds, following the four principles of freedom and rising early for morning program. We are maintaining and keeping things going at the temple. I really appreciate what you said in your response to my last letter: Temples never fail. They are part of the Sat-Cit-Anaanda reality. Such a wonderful perspective. I’m holding on to it. I am seeing all of my zeros and I am trying to put that One in front of them every morning. It’s hit and miss. Only by your grace and inspiration am I able to attempt.

HpS - Srila Prabhupada makes his Generals out of mud!!

Lord Nityananda on the altar subtly winked at me the other morning to say “you are doing okay, you can do better”. I heard from Gopal Hari Prabhu in class recently that spiritual life is actually never stagnant. You are either going up or you are going down. This is very profound to me because I find myself just wanting peace and comfort but actually taking risks for Krishna and being bold is where the real life/fun is I’m starting to see.

Many experiments to conduct here and you have helped me see how Srila Prabhupada has given us everything. Now we must find new ways to “let Krishna out of the box” like you are saying. Please pray for us, Maharaja.

We’ve been very much enjoying seeing you in Mexico and chanting with you through the internet and hearing your talks. Such a wonderful thing to see you with Bhakti Sundar Goswami Maharaja as well.

On the appearance day of Lord Rama we presented the cane that you gave Anantarupa Prabhu to Srila Prabhupada. Thank you so much for this. Prabhupada looks very happy to have it. Very beautiful handle!

HpS - Do you see the SB verse engraved in the handle!!

Maharaja, will you be able to visit us this Summer or Fall at any point?

Also, I was wondering if I could come see you in Tennessee for a day or two and do some service. What do you think?

Your aspiring servant,

Nitisara das

HpS - We have been On the Road for nine months. We are close to dead as an ape can get.

Hanuman returns to Kishkinda with the news for Rama.

Kishkinda, Nashville, NgD other Princes and Kings of the Monkey army.

After a few days resting there and getting our feet on the ground I hope we will have the proper perspective for the next plan of work of Krsna, and our possibility of joining it.

Maybe we visit Boise again in this lifetime.

Need a travel partner.

Yet, also very nice if you all can visit us for a symposium and personal association in Nashville. You can channel Bhaktivinode Thakura through guitar and music! 😄

If we travel in USA it will be to only three places: Houston, Richmond and Boise, but now please join us getting our feet on the ground in our Base Camp.

Make movies.

Do Kid's dramas.

Interview local community leaders and scholars.

Local devotees headed by Ananta rupa Das.

Now 10.22PM. As you can see from the letter to Anandamaya Devi Dasi we are ripped up from today's war, so we will rest our body now.

See you soon. Very much respect to all of the Mothers. Husbands. Brahmacaris....

Hare Krishna Dear GuruMaharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to you!

All glorious glories to Srila Prabhupada!

So I just wanted to write you a quick note to say that I have started reciting the translation to Gurvastaka daily. I don't have it memorized yet, but I'm reading it a lot!

Today was my last official day for Tulasi service, so I was able to share all I know with the new people how we serve Her in the greenhouse.

They were very patient with me, I think a lot of them already knew how to do the service, one person has a Manjari tattooed on her arm.

So I think with quality people like this, who are already possibly more experienced, that Srimati Tulasi Devi will be taken care of very nicely.

When we got back to the pujari room, Mother Chandravali was engaging some of the devotees in Krishna House to polish Radha Kalachandji's paraphernalia. So we got to see Their pure silver Ekadasi crowns!!!

Plus the copy I ordered of Kamala Subramanium's Mahabharata came in the mail, and I'm very excited to read it! I heard it is so detailed and gripping! Then I can figure out how to use that book, plus NOI, LOB, and TLC to preach.

Oh plus I'm excited to see the new DTC-UT!

And after Houston, I was wondering if I could stop by the Boro to see you?

See you in Houston!

Thank you for everything!

Your aspiring servant,

Jaya Hari Das

HpS - All great news. Of course, we are meeting already in Houston, but this letter gives us such great perspective on who we are seeing through our gross conception of life. See you in Gauranga Hall in a few minutes.

Respected Maharaj,

Please accept our humble and respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! 

For the pleasure of your Holiness, we would like to share some of the updates from Richmond Yatra:

 - After some hurdles, our Temple Project is moving forward. Initially, our site plan application was rejected by the county. After months of re-work and in addition to a lightning plan for the parking lot we are ready to re-submit the modified application to the county.

 - Upon approval, which usually takes about two weeks, we will initiate the construction of, driveway, Parking lot and other areas on the temple site. Which will take about a month.

 - Upon completion, we will apply for the inspection and occupancy permit. The whole process should take about 2-3 months.

HpS-ASA -- 😐 Super. AgtSP.

 - Apart from the temple project . . . regular, nourishing Krishna conscious activities are going on including - Multiple weekly Sangas like Bhakti Vrikshas, Bhakti Shastri, Saturday Feast, Festival celebrations, Kids Sunday School etc.

 - Srila Prabhupada is sending many new sincere families to assist and serve in the Temple Project and services.

HpS/ASA - 🙃 Su, Su, Super!!!

With above being said - We sincerely, on behalf of the whole yatra, would like to humbly request your holiness to visit us, and we very much desire to have another grand celebration - City Harinaam, Public inauguration of the temple with a cultural program etc., in presence of your Holiness.

Maharaj, we are made up of your mercy and we would like to be in your shelter and remain as your

your servant

Divyanam Das

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! We are just a peanut in the belly of an elephant compared to the mercy that Srila Prabhhpada is giving us. Now we are in Mexico. Riding the waves of the Spanish solar winds. Rama navami in The Capitol, then 3rd-11th April in Houston.

All this is in the Kapi Dhvaja (www.JayaRama.US/new.htm).

Such and excellent periodical.

Then we will return to our Base Camp in Murfree's Boro, Tennessee, and try to take a look at future travel etc from a basic platform.

Actually it is becoming impossible for us to travel with out an attendant, and with some extra facility. Even then it is a lot of work, yet that is what we want, no? To be constantly sacrificing for Krsna rather than Lord Banana.

So, let us stay in touch.

More Temple Yatra News.

Then we can develop programs!!

We need the help of the Rich Mound Yatra like anything.

Still remember you all in your gumshaws at Radha Kunda. 🙃

HpS - AgtSP. Very nice to see you, but "be in the ceremony". What does that mean? To be initiated?

Have you been a Candidate for six months? We forget. We are getting too old to initiate.

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Bienvenido de regreso a esta parte del mundo. Que el Señor Nrisimhadeva lo bendiga.

Estamos felices de saber que muy pronto tendremos su santa asociación.

El lunes 28 de Febrero viajaré a Monterrey con prabhu Arya-Srestha y una hermana de Perú. Por favor concedanos sus bendiciones para poder tomar su vapuh apropiadamente y poder servirle en su misión de Sankirtana. 

Respecto al calendario de Ciudad de México que presentamos por este medio, tenemos algunos detalles que nos gustaría hablarlo en persona ya que tendremos la oportunidad de verlo. 

VISITANTES 

Prabhu Hari Lila, su esposa y prabhu Kuvera ya hicieron la reserva de hospedaje a unos pocos pasos del templo.

HOST: Akinchana Krsna prabhu.

Algunos devotos de Chile se quedarán en el templo y otros con sus amigos devotos. 

Tratamos de hacer arreglos con los devotos que nos contactan. 

INICIACIONES 

Ramanavami 30 de Marzo 

SS. Bhaktisundara Goswami tiene 4 aspirantes que desean unirse a la ceremonia, Maharaja estará presente y desea conocer el horario. 

El templo considera que puede realizarse al medio día, le parece bien Gurumaharaja? Me dicen que si Usted prefiere más temprano también está bien.

HpS - Hare Krsna. AgtSP! In your next life you will be in Goloka? Hope Krsna sends nice people to meet in your trip from Mexico to Monterrey. Take some books to give them!

If possible seems best to have the initiations as early as possible, right after SB class, and then all breakfast together. It is Thursday. Best to do Brahminical activities early.

Yet, it is Rama navami and we are fasting until noon, so we could have Rama-lila kirtan until the Deities go for lunch and then have fire sacrifice and join the Raja bhoga kirtan.

Whatever Bhakti sundara Swami wants. He comes from very cultured Arabic heritage.

😃

Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa atención.

Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd
