Hare Krsna!

AgtSP

paoho and bw.

we are trying to answer the annual reports, but the file organization system is not perfect and we think that we are now answering reports from 2023, not 2024.

it is insane. 🙄

we have asked some devotees to report to us if the answer they are receiving to their report is for the one they submitted for 2024 or 2023.

in any case it is certainly a good thing to communicate with everyone at least once a year.

we take our work as diksa guru as a personal service, not just some bureaucratic service.

in general... it, the position of the sun 😎, is at 3.45pm, central standard time.

we are having a pretty good day of being engaged 100% in Krsna's service, but of course, have a lot of room for improvement.

from the viewpoint of raghunath das goswami, vaidhi bhakti, sadhana bhakti through rules and regulation is a cheating process.

we have not yet given our heart into the matter.

our heart is some where else, eg. seeking material benefits, subtle or gross by incorrect focus of our efforts.

it may be from offensive behavior, or just lack of purification.

we feel very tired and weak a lot.

maybe it is just old age.

results of sinful abuse of our body from earliest american ambience.

all this is true for some of you also?

we feel unhappy that we cannot be preaching more, better.

we feel happy that we may be making some progress in our part in the sankirtan movement, and maybe be more awake in our next life.

we need regular, daily, spiritual vitamins.

by krsna's, gopi's, mercy and by our own endeavor.

because we don't have lots of sankirtan in our life, we feel bored also.

we aren't experiencing Krsna lila? Krsna's real, honest desires!

yet, srila prabhupada expresses that he was experiencing the same thing when he first came to the USA: Loitering here and there with no particular engagement.

HpS/ASA - Tried to follow this but, Hare Krsna, went a totally bizarre link!

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

PAMHO AGTSP

What should we devotees do when attending programs of other Vaishnava schools and a class is being taught?

Thank you

Obeisances

HpS - What did Lord Chaitanya do when Sarvabhauma was giving class?

Is it in CC what he did when he heard Advaita acharya was giving Mayavadi interpretation of SB?

What NoI say about Karmi schools, Mayavadi, Socrates, Shakespeare, Mormon, schools?

Please, beloved Gurudeva, accept my respectful obeisances at your kind lotus feet 🙏🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🙇‍♂️🙏🙇‍♂️💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

When I read Your letter about my Janmastami song to Krsna, I thought... oh then I don’t have to sing all my songs... this isn’t that important! And I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, I felt more relieved😊. Actually, I would really like for You to read or listen to my silly songs, but I have to make them public! .. and that embarrasses me a little... and I think that maybe, they won’t fully understand the meaning I give them... they can also sound very silly, but for me each one has a very special meaning. I think it’s not good to share them all. So I feel very reassured by your response, Gurudev. It’s not that I need to record myself singing... I’m not interested at all. But if You wish, I can record the idea that You gave me: Queen Kunti’s prayers.

I could put pictures of Queen Kunti, while I describe the sentences in Spanish. I don't have anyone to sing with yet, as you suggest, maybe later! For now, if it seems okay to you and I've thought about it for my gopi song❤️, I can put pictures of them!! , while my song is playing.

Thank you GuruMaharaja! Please pray for me for my awakening very soon.

HpS/ASA - Tom Brown, agtSP, aspires to produce nice illustrated poetry and articles illuminating Krsna's Dvaraka, Vrndavana!!

He remembers what the great writer Jack London said, "before you write even one word worth publishing, you have to write 10,000 words of trash, so start writing trash!".

Then we can learn how share it for inspiring our teachers, fellow students.

Dear Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Sri Radha-Krishna.

Happy Radhastami🎊

I hope this message finds you in good health and blissful Krishna consciousness.

Thank you so much for your guidance and considerate responses.

I am writing to seek your guidance regarding the prenatal samskaras (Garbhadhana, Pumsavana, and Simantonnayana) as I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and residing in Peru. I have only received Harinam Diksha and am not married. I am eager to perform these samskaras to spiritually bless my child and seek Krishna’s protection, but I am unsure how to proceed given my circumstances.

Is there a way you could conduct or guide these samskaras remotely, or should I approach a local ISKCON temple for assistance? Additionally, does ISKCON offer specific procedures for these samskaras, especially for someone in my situation?

I am deeply grateful for your wisdom and guidance on this matter. Please let me know how I can proceed to ensure the spiritual well-being of my child and myself.

Your humble servant,

A

HpS - AgtSP!! We are not expert in these things! Local devotees with some Brahminical training should be able to help, but the essence of any ceremony in Kali-yuga is Hari kirtan.

Eat nicely for your baby. Read and Chant for your Baby individually or in groups, Sankirtan.

That really is very, very good.

Send us more news as things develop.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, please accept my humble obeisances

Dear Guru Maharaj,

HpS - One letter, one devotee asks Srila Prabhupada if he call his local GBC, Sankirtan leader, as his guru, and Srila Prabhupada says, "Yes, but do not forget you is your real (or ultimate) Guru", So, we only feel comfortable with this title, Guru Maharaja, rather then Maharaja, for a Sannyasi, if everyone who uses it have accepted Srila Prabhupada as an uttama adhikari guru. NoI 5, last paragraph.

I think you have a very healthy understanding of this!!

When we saw you last year in September we told you we were expecting a baby, we were blessed by a little boy. He was born in Laredo Hospital, April 25th, his name is Karuna Avatar Nitai.

We’ve been pretty busy with visits from family and friends who came to meet the new addition to the family, while working on our new house in Riaño, currently building the rooms and the electric installation. 

HpS/ASA - 👍

Recently we were in Janmastami in New Vrajamanda. They had a gorgeous festival, never seen anything like that there, nicely organised by Yugala Kisor Dasi with lots of kirtan and activities. We saw the whole community coming together, working towards the festival and creating a nice atmosphere.

HpS/ASA - Is ISKCON in the third phase? 1st they will laugh at you. 2nd they will attack you. 3rd they will start asking you for serious guidance? Challenges at every phase.

We hope to be able to move into our new house soon, just before winter arrives, Krishna willing, and work on our winter farm vegetables and spring water.

I hope these few words meet you well and that my little one’s schedule will improve so I can join Japa Joe and the full morning program.

your servant

Sukanya Sita devi dasi

HpS - Jaya!!!!!

We always remember SP's comment that these are not ordinary children. Krsna does, not send ordinary children to be children of devotees, so the parents must protect them very carefully so that they can grow up well and do wonderful things for Krsna!!!

Family affection is very natural. Kapila recommended it to Devahuta, but He also recommended that she always temper it with a little bit of Sankya, remembering that your, my, baby, husband's, all bodies are just biological robots that have nothing more to do with us than your cellphone.

Thank you all so, so much.

All success like Kardama and Devahuti!
