[FMP-PC] Ceremonia de iniciación

Querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

!Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!


Bhakta Marco está en contacto con nosotros sobre el tema de su iniciación.

Respecto a la ceremonia de fuego, hablando con las autoridades del Templo parece que el Viernes 14 de Enero, día de la aparición de Sri Jagadhisa Pandita podría ser una buena fecha, 12:30 PM hora de Bolivia, 10:30 AM para México. Si existe algún inconveniente con la fecha por favor podría darnos otra sugerencia y haremos los arreglos pertinentes con el brahmana y la conexión por zoom.

Muchas gracias por su misericordiosa atención.


Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Dear Gurumaharaja

Please accept our respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Bhakta Marco is in contact with us on the subject of his initiation.


Regarding the fire ceremony, speaking with the Temple authorities it seems that Friday January 14, the day of the appearance of Sri Jagadhisa Pandita, could be a good date, 12:30 PM Bolivian time, 10:30 AM for Mexico. If there is any problem with the date, please could you give us another suggestion and we will make the pertinent arrangements with the brahmana and the zoom connection.


Thank you very much for your merciful attention.

Your eternal would-be servant

Asta Sakhi dd


HpS - Can you confirm this with Mathuresa Das and devotees in La Paz? I don't think you know the contacts there but we are surprised at how resourceful are the devotees. We will also try. It seems fine to us.

Wonderful news Maharaj! I will go buy a big lock for my house right now (but I will give you the key)

I will keep in touch to plan for your visit.

Is someone else coming with you?

Yellow brick road report

Haré Krsna Gurudev!


Please accept our humble obeisances. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada, 


The witch is lingering, but we still see her feet smashed under your red brick ashram. If we don’t visit our fairy Godmother Radha everyday the Oz/Goloka remnants that still linger from your blessed presence in New Biharvan may vanish very soon. 


We saw Jordan and Loo (the new couple who came with the two small children to the NOI seminar). They said that they have missed your association. They stumbled upon an Uttama Adhikari. How can anyone go back to their bungalow/trailer/and just watch tv??? Nothing will ever be the same….


HpS/ASA - AgtSP! He is living in His books! Jaya!


Jordan said he looked at you and understood you are free and it reminded him of seeing a happy boy (a cowherd boy?) I told them to check out your blog. They also want to see one of your Kapi Dvaja. Preaching with picture books Common folk like us “will connect with spiritual art books”, then the inner child could lean over to the Paratmatma and say, “I’m tired mom/dad, please take me home...”


(Switching to sleepy town news reports)

Gurudev, our priority is MA in some form. FMP association then we go to ISKCON Houston’s Syamasundar’s Chanting program, your classes, daily SB clases or devotee care course recordings. We were recently advised be the local pujari that we look really tired. We said we are blissed out. They said with kids you should rest more. We tried to do this for a week or two but our rounds felt less attentive during the day and we felt enveloped by our senses/mind. Now it scares us which is a good sign I guess.


HpS/ASA - Better to die with Chan Ting and Dan Sing.


We started a new LOB study group with new Bhaktins from the seminar. Prasadam cooking is still in place. All of us then move along to the BG class. We feel like the Mormons with a 4 hour community program (it can create a family atmosphere though, so much time spent together)!


Homeschooling with Murari the España Muestro. We started a 3-5 year old Gopal Fun School zoom group with 3 other families from Austin, San Diego, and Silicon with 2-4 year olds. We must meet with a UK and Australian family. I am teaching devotional songs and literature based on Chowpatti kids books. Sunday school is maintained and the SB activity Canto 3 books continue to be incredibly entertaining.


HpS/ASA - Super Girl!


We are continuing services for the temple and continue our cleaning service of the kitchen (we may send new pics soon!) We don’t like laundry but are trying to trick our mind into always making cleaning priority. We will always  remember seeing our Gurudev cleaning dishes very diligently.


We are still remaking Indra’s “pillars of rain clouds” for our Govardhan puppet show. We will try putting cotton on Chinese lanterns and sticking blue fairy lights inside of them. The kids made multi colored clay offerings and new puppets because Aja’s anti tech vegetarian Waldorf school visited a week ago. They are studying ancient India. The bus driver ate two plates after the Govardhan puppet show! Many students danced/chanted along while following their song sheet. Flying ribbons on sticks swayed in the Audience while re-enactment of Krsnas pastimes as described in the song “King of sweet” was sung by Aja’s esteemed parents. Aja’s teacher lives at the corner apartments on Martha street. He likes cursive, old typewriters, feathered top hats and we suspect that he misses the transcendentalist 18th century time period. Maybe he was at Walden’s Pond skipping rocks with Thoreau. He invited Balabhadra and I to teach  a “ how to write/speak in Sanskrit” You got an extra pumpkin cookie if you could write the whole maha mantra in Sanskrit.


Lately we are feeling that we are very offensive, awkward persons. I remember when Maha Bhagavat told me that she realized that the devotees are so merciful because they are merely just tolerating her.


HpS - She wrote to us after so many years. Bossy's Kitchen. Think it is in the Blog!


We feel the same. Thank you for tolerating our ego, our mind, and our soul that is somehow in the midst of this show. We pray for more and more sincere hearing and more sincere chanting🙏. Time is running out. Please give us direct instruction for artistic endeavors Gurudev. We’ve always done better with direct instruction (the sudra in us).


Thankyou Gurudev for asking us to write.


Your Servant,


Kamagayatri devi dasi 



HpS - AGTSP. It is 10.24PM. We are working in Over Time. Finished the hand written Kapi Dhvaja, posted the online calendar and now catching Blog mail. TB/BW have been catching the Priority Coded letters. (Code in each KDh). They are good guys. They try their best.


We got your letter. Yes.... God willing.... we want to visit New Biharvan from Nashville between Mar 7th and Jul 15th. What might be good dates for you all?


Your report is great. Use you life for Radha Banki bihari, but in an efficient way. Continue to make a large part of your service to them educating your kids for Them.


Our respects to Jayanta (Jayananda Das?) and Mataji, Bala b. Das and Mataji..... everyone!!!! When Radhika R. Das comes we can get some online programs set up.

Maya javanikacanam: PROGRAM OF SRI VYASA PUJA Urgent

3 years, 6 months ago by candra108_mukhi in Calendar Development

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, AGTU, PAMHO


Thank you so much for joining yesterday in our meeting for the Sri Vyasa puja. In [It] meant a lot for all of us. When you left we started to coordinate with the Godbrothers and sisters that were present. It was really encouraging.


I still have some doubts about the program that is [erase] I am posting here so that you can approve it or not.


One general comment here. Since the very begining Palika and I were just trying to do some kind of organization due to we see that there was not any, at least proactive. It has been very challenging trying to please everyone or at least that everyone feels supported and included. I can speak to myself and on behalf of Palika dd that we want that all can take part of this momentus occasion. We are in the middle of a pandemic state and due to the Sri Vyasa puja is going to be in the Boy Scouts Club in Chosica we do not know if the internet connection may fail. We were requesting that devotees from different countries record on video sending greetings, something cultural, etc


HpS/ASA - Yes!!


Jambavan has been a great support and also he provides very great ideas. Madhumanjari dd is contributing with some souvenirs. (we can not tell is a surprise)


In the meeting you said that the Sri Vyasa puja may last more than one day. So I was wondering which days? and the time? You said also that all the information will be on the blog. That is why I am writing these queries here


HpS - Vyasapuja is 3rd January, so we could do programs on the 1st and 2nd. Maybe some meetings at Sta Eulalia. Some programs for special groups on line at different times in the day.


Here you have the program:


Vyasa-puja de Su Santidad Srila Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja Gurudeva

lunes 3 enero 2022 (Aparición de Locana dasa Thakura)


Programa



11:00 am Ofrenda de bhoga

ASA - This should go on the same time as the other events but behind a curtain.


11:15 am Bienvenida - Pushpanjali

ASA - Pushpanjali should be at the end, just before Guru-puja. Welcome should be from 11AM to 11.15AM.


11:45 am Guru-puja / kirtana

ASA - This is too long. Should be right after Pushpanjali. 20-minutes. Hari, Hari, Bolo!!!


12:30 pm Significado VP


12:40 pm Biografía SS HpS


12:50 pm Ofrenda SS HpS a Srila Prabhupada


1:00 pm Palabras de las autoridades


1:10 pm Ofrendas verbales de los discípulos (presenciales y videos) 

HpS - Seems to short. Will be 10 people??? We suggested that these be mixed with cultural programs eg. Biography of Narottama Das by Yadu Swami, recorded cultural programs from Mexico etc. Few words from Virabahu Das??


1:30 pm Prasada y maha prasada


2:00 pm Agradecimiento y despedida

This should be after the Guru puja and then some music in the background so that devotees can associate as the want and honor the prasadam packages as they want.

O.K??


There is a shadow theater that lasts 5 minutes and today Divya dristi dd ask if she can present a puppet show and a play (The hunter and the sage) (20 minutes). So I do not know if she can present her offering on January 3rd or on the other three days that you suggested.


HpS - Other day, because it is too long for that day.


I hope that this letter will help to clarify the whole situation about the Sri Vyasa Puja


HpS/ASA - Yes, it does a lot to clarify the whole situation. 🙂 Should be music playing when devotees enter!


  • Kirtan
  • Reception
  • Addresses by disciples, authorities - mixed with cultural programs
  • Puspanjali, Guru-puja, Thanks, Prasadam and informal mixing.


Please I humbly request that you give us your blessings in order to be useful


HpS - I can't give you that!

Thank you very much Gurudeva
