Hare Krishna dear Gurudev!

Pamho

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I hope u are good in everything.

Q:

Does exist any specific prescription in the scriptures, any directive from our acaryas, any instruction from Srila Prabhupada or at least any GBC resolution about that a Vaisnava cannot chant the Holy Names in another temple or vaishnava line outside his own? 

I ask this because I have always seen, and have participated in many Kirtan events in various Yoga centers and all kinds of spaces, freely as Srila Prabhupada wished, trying to bring the holy name to more people.

But it happens that when I have been invited to chant HK in spaces of other Vaisnava lines, that has generated a "disturbance" in the minds of few people in the local temple.

Then they try to generate an idea in the community that it is "forbidden" to chant the holy name in other Vaisnava spaces.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Please let me know if there is any philosophical, sastrical or at least administrative basis that supports this type of thinking.

I appreciate your time and guidance.

Your servant,

Ananda Shyam das

P.S: now we opened a small yoga room where also Bhakti and Kirtan is shared. We humbly hope this satisfy S. Prabhupada and Krishna. :)

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Nice to hear from you after so long!

Here is one citation:

https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/adi/7/157/

and we remember SP saying that LC would visit temples of different demigods and show the people how to worship them properly by His actions, and that we as His disciples should do the same.

Hare Krsna.

The Sun is at 1.14AM.

Rounds = 0.

Looking at the mail a little before we start chanting on beads.

How are you all?

Our Camp and Corpse are fine, as best as can be expected in the material world.

Because of the intense travel and weather we have not been able to answer letters in the Blog very timely.

Now we will start a Sunday Blog-mail Marathon (SBM).

Lettuce go to the first letter.

Ahhh. Now I remember. In your article would like to have seen that the title "Mataji" can be just as big as the title "Swamiji" but because of more formal austerity the Sannyasis is given more formal respect, and even if Jiva has female dress, informally it can be most prominent Siksa disciple of Srila Prabhupada and advise students how to relate to the formal personalities of Sannyasis, husband, father, Diksa guru, and Founder Acharya.

Okay?

Somehow I missed sending you this:

https://akincana.net/2023/01/23/basu-ghosh-das-responds-to-garuda-das/

[1/26, 10:10 AM] Basu Ghosh Das: Let me know what you think, in due course.

[1/28, 2:40 AM] HPSwami - ProfHHR: Very complete. Have little doubts here and there on few points. 

A big point is that we should engage in confidential talks on these matters with devotees according to NOI 4-6, no?

Are the dialogers Madhyama adhikari s?

Are these friendly disputes?

Just returned to West after many months deep in Iskcon India.

1. Seems to us some administration GBC, TP et al b'cari, Sannyasi wear the saffron dress but have never advanced beyond attachment to Vanaprastha or Kuticaka.

Iskcon Sannyasis need more bravery, humility, education to lead ISKCON. If have not got it, tell world where we are at and effort to advance.

2. Iskcon India is numerically big, but is that a big bureaucracy with a lot of feminine, vanaprastha, influence? 

We aren't sure. We have cheating propensity. 

3.

1. They will laugh at you.

2. They will attack you.

3. They will ask questions and listen to you.

Seems to me we have come to stage 3.

Now we have to know and show

Hope we can fit into your Sankirtan party!

🦍🦍🙂

[]Ambariśa Das: Haré krsna. Hope your visit and activities in Spain will be very nice.

[] HPSwami - ProfHHR: 🌴👺🌴🌴🐒🐒🦍🦆🦆

Hope to finish DTC-UT (Spain) while we are here.

💪💪🦍

Rsi Jambavan: Seen your message after talking to you. Whem are you reaching Spain?

HpS: Got here yesterday, 27th.

24-hours hard, hard travel.

Accommodations without proper heating. Minus three degrees at night! 🥶

Devotee hosts working hard to adjust but body went into some convulsions and robust diarrhea reaction to compensate.

Soul situated well enough for our Sankirtan.

Expect better ubication tomorrow!

Nila Kamal Committee? 

Diarrhea?

😇
