Your presence here have a deep impact in the devotees here.

HpS - ASA - The presence of the devotees here has a deep impact on us.  AGTSP!!!  Who is pure representative of The Great Impacter!!

Thank you for all your work.

So much opportunidad for preaching.  See you tomorrow.

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept our obeisances and respect, All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope you are well and happy.

We have been with a lot of things, preparing our next year trip to India with people (in feb. we took 7 people), organizing our Yoga teacher training & Ayurveda counsultant Courses, studying, etc. We are so happy to know you´re coming to Chile soon. 

We are honoured again to host a class from you here in our school, and we will like to know which subjects/topics you would like to address. 

We are working a lot with,obviously, Yoga and Ayurveda, but also with Bhakti Yoga, vedic psychology, health in all it´s aspects, Bhagavad Gita, etc.

You have something in mind regarding this?

Your aspiring servant

Vishvanath CT dasa

HpS - Tried, AGTSP... paoho..., to respond to this two days ago but it kept bouncing.  Try again.   Also responded through Carlos.   Basically you know the audience and our talents well enough to suggest some topics.   We can only suggest that you Shoot for the Rhinocerous.  Think about the most wonderful result of the program would be e.g. the President of Peru comes to the program with the Minister of Education, and design the program that way.

All Glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

All Glories to you

We are adjusting a couple of specific dates because the confirmed Maha Visnu Swami's visit (6 to 12th November), and also taking on consideration your feedback. So, now here are the updates and the only urgent question is in bold (is urgent because is connected with the November 3^rd Saturday program).

We proposed your two titles to the temple president and he is happy not just with them also with your consideration of his proposals.

We added the Upadesamrita 10 to the subtitle to the 31st November program about Radha Kunda.

Regarding the community retreat, we are thinking that could be too much if we have a workshop and if we spend the night there. Actually, Is in red in the visual calendar because is not completely confirmed. We are thinking with Arjuna and Priyasakhi how to do it. Maybe somewhere close to the temple, and even more simple.

Now, the first important change is the November 3rd, Saturday program. Now, the project of the “new Temple” in Maipú would be this day. The reason is an invitation to you for the next Saturday, which is below.

We also changed the spiritual family breakfast to this Sunday, 4th November because of you noticing us about the fasting of the next Sunday.

Maha Visnu Swami

Now, we received the confirmation of the visit of the Maha-Visnu Swami with the Harinama Ruci Group. So, we offer him to give the class of the Prabhupada's Night, November Friday 9th, and his disciples took it happily.

Now, this is the question. The Chilean harinam team are managing a Maha-Harinama with Maha Visnu Swami in Viña del Mar (very close to Valparaíso) and they are dreaming with the possibility that you could join them there. They know already about the flags. Do you think that is possible for you to participate in this Harinama? They rent a bus for 45 devotees already. To take more advantage of this trip we could manage a little program for the devotees who are living in this city, to encourage them more, maybe a lunch or something similar. This final, is just my idea, Maybe is not the best.

HpS - ASA -- Seems we could go and chant. We come and go in one day?  Lot of work. Must have time for resting as well as working.    Conflict is: EVERY SATURDAY we have a SB workshop online. It is from 8.30-9.30AM Nashville (Houston) hour, which is 10.30-11.30AM Santiago hour, as far as I understand. We can do this workshop?

And finally, Maharaja is agrees with to have a double class with you to the Srila Prabhupada Disappearance Festival. What do you think?

HpS - Sure!   Very nice.

-

Your lecture: “BG 2.7. Now I am confused about my duty” the second one proposed by Amara Prabhu, finally would be on November 16th, Friday.

-

Now, I think that we are reaching the final edition of this calendar. Last year we had this “almost final edition” too much early, excuse me for that. 

Probably, I travel to “Lo Arte y Lo Sagrado – Lima”, but I think that is better to finish this before the great event. Let me know if we can talk for telephone this Monday.

Thank you very much for let us serve you.

Hare Krsna.

Jagad Guru Das

HpS - Jaya!    AgtSP!      Paoho.      Hope your family is well!!!       The final Calendar seems pretty good.  Seems to be time for meeting with devotees personally and our regular international work.<img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> I will try to call you now.

We tried three times to respond to your last letter. I would not go. Other letters went. Letter frm Vsvantha also jammed.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru Maharaj Hanumat Presaka Swami .

Hare Krishna Maharaj, PAOHO at Your lotus feet...

HpS - ASA -- Lettuce Feet.  AGTSP!!   PAOHHO!

We have been so sad.....not getting to hear almost anything from Guru Maharaj. We are continuing with our Bhakti sastri classes with HH Bhakti Ananda Haridas Goswami Maharaj.

HpS - We are trying to post DTCs?!!    Are they coming?    And answer some letters here with news for everyone.    Is. O.K.?

We had a wonderful World Harinama Sankirtan week last month. We had miraculous protection from Nrshimha Dev on 4th of September, the day of Srila Prabhupada's Vyas puja...we met with a car accident...we don't know how we escaped unhurt that fateful day. Thank you Guru Maharaj for giving me yet another chance to serve the Lord's devotees.

HpS - ASA - !!!!

We are practicing the Rasa dance for next year's kartik purnima. Would Guru Maharaj give us permission to offer the dance for Radha Krishnachandra next year?

HpS - Of course!   You are so fortunate.

We are waiting patiently for Holi sankirtan with Guru Maharaj here at Manipur. We plan to attend the Educational programme at Mayapur . We had been intimidated (? involved?) by Devarshi Prabhuji of Mayapur about the programme. Once we joined Devarshi Prabhuji's seminar on ' Scientific basis of Krishna Consciousness' through Skype and it unlocked some dormant areas of my sleepy frontal lobe.

Tomorrow we are planning an interactive programme with some of our medical students with HH Haridas Maharaj at the ISKCON, Manimandir temple.  Banamali Prabhuji and some devotees have left for RadhaKund today for Tirubhav of HH Swarup Damodara which falls on 19th Oct.

We are almost at the end of Canto 2 SB....we are in the 10th chapter...amazes me ,how every part of our body is controlled by different deities.....what we studied in Medicine ended with just arteries,veins and nerves....those were the controlling 'deities' we studied!!

We hope to hear from you soon Guru Maharaj.

Your insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - ASA ---  Thank you so much for the news. Tommorrow a letter from Yamunesvara Das.   Our Calendar is adjusting.  Seems we will be in Mayapura from the 24th February to the 7th March. After that we were thinking of going to the North East. We leave India from Bombay on the 22 March. We would maybe need a day to rest in BBY before we travel. Where do you think we should go? Silchar, Thoubal, Imphal??  We can travel but not too much. Better making nice plan in advance so people can come to see us a accesible places, no?

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA - Paoho and agtylf.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

ASA - !!!
    All glories to Guru parampara.

ASA - ! !      !*

    Hope you are good in health.

HpS - We are immortal but Brother Ass, the Donkey that we ride through this world, IS a disease. Our eyes are failing, two teeth gone, half deaf, short term memory diminished, knees getting weak, respiration shallow, but even though it is an old car it is well maintained. AGTSP, ISKCON, and we look forward to good service until the final collapse (2024).

Personally, we are surprised that we are making spiritual advancement, AGTSP, ISKCON, we are really trying to get ready for life after death and waking up, and developing our eternal service and its application in this world.  Jaya, Sri Hanumatpresaka, Sri Ramacandra Bhagavan.

    Wanted to be good in Kirtan so thinking to start practice from tomorrow.

    So if you can advise anything which can help to pick it fast, would be good for me.
    i would focus on those points while practicing.

    While, i have finalized topics for preaching in Chhattisgarh. Planning to go in
    December first week for 15 days.

    Continuing with 32 rounds, hope to increase 40 rounds after a certain time.

    Hope to keep upgrading spiritually as you expect from me.

    Thank you so much Gurudev for everything.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - We admire your determination. Please write to us when you leave for Chhattisgarh. Then we shall see you at the end of January. Now looks like land 23 January and then head to Govardhana Eco Village GEV. Let's all go. Education symposium. Then back to Pune (BBY) for the same in ISKCON and outside universities.     Then Delhi/Vraja.      Then 15 Feb - 15 Mar (?)   Kolkatta Mayapura.        Then two, three weeks in the North East.

By "Kirtan" do you mean singing and dancing in the Temple and Public, or do you mean direct distribution of books?     In either case, listen. When you chant, lead a Kirtan, listen to the response that the others make. When you approach people to show books, listen to their response. Then from your K.C. nature it will be natural to respond.   1) We must be pure (eg. FMP),  2) Krsna will send innocent people,    3) They must be patient to understand the situation of this material world.

Thank you.   Respects to everyone!

All Gloris to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Prabhupada

Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Radha Krsna Ki Jay,

Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

Guruji Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that I got and very happy to get Gurujis reply so soon and downloaded for my personal.   Now I am direct contacted with Guruji and discussing different topics on Spiritual development. Yes I know, I am not qualified to serve Sri Krsna in this stage but can learn the process and the steps just like a class X standard student know the process of a Ph. D. Degree if they are interested.

HpS -- Yes, the same for me.  We can see the city in the distance and we can see that the road leads there.

On the other hand, in Manipur Gouriya Beisnavas system of initiation at the time of giving Das Nama; Sakhi – Manjari  Nama also given in the same padhati (system) of six Gosvamis.

I have gone through the sloka after Guruji’s advice. It is so interesting. I am continuing reading Bhagavatam regularly but on Sunday or Holidas I read C.C.; Bhakti Rasamitra Sindhu with Nectar of Devotion; or other books as reference. Actually I had gone through C.C. in Manipuri translation long before taking initiation, now the English version of Prabhupada. The narration is so spiritual advance with suitable references.

I went Imphal ISKCON Mandir yestarday and meeting H.H. Haridas Swami Maharaja and  Sarada Gaurangi DD and  discuss in detail Guruji's programme in Mnipur. Sarda and Haridas Swami will decide a tentative then I will forward it as soon as I got the information or she may send directly.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Yes, is good to start working on the Calendar now, October, though we will be coming in March, because many people can come from distant places and be accomodated then. We can organize programs that will have good results by Krsna's mercy.

Some news of your family and our friends in Manipura please!!!
