Letters to the editor

Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

Thank you for your response. We can definitely work with our audiences for an Odissi Manipuri collaboration from Sundara Kanda. However, my primary desire is to find a part in this fortunate opportunity to serve in your mission: promote your cherished project, this film. If I need to learn western theatre techniques to do this, I am very happy to do so too and use whatever training I have 🙏.

your aspiring servant,

SMDD

HpS - Thank you! So nice traveling with you and Dhruva Das in the Northeast.

Actually, DTC - The Ultimate Trip, is not a cherished project. 😎

A lot of it is "Duty" Rasa, though it definitely is very important to us to make the effort to consolidate a record of our Sankirtan for everyone.

I don't know if the Alvin Ailey Dance Troupe is still active, but see if they have some videos on line to look at. I think they might give nice idea of Western dance drama, and of course Peter Brook Mahabharata seems to be nice way to put Indian stuff in American format.

Thank you.

Hare Krishna!

Guru Maharaja,

Please except my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you!

We are looking forward to your trip in Feb. to Texas. Can't wait to see you Guru Maharaja!

I'd like to (as humbly as possible) ask for 2nd initiation. I have been more and more requested and encouraged by devotees to take 2nd initiation to increase my service to Srila Prabhupada and Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha-Kalachandji.

Nityananda Prabhu - approves and agrees I should take 2nd

Manjuali Mataji (TP's wife) - asked that I cook for Sri Sri Radha-Kalachandji which requires 2nd initiation

Chandravali Mataji (Head pujari) - asked I take 2nd to do deity worship for Their Lordships

Arjuna Krishna Prabhu (Tamala Krishna Goswami disciple and long time resident of Radha-Kalachandji Dham) - encourages me to take 2nd initiation

Srinatha Krsna Prabhu (Also your disciple here in RK Dham) - agrees and approves my taking 2nd initiation

Jaya Guaranga Prabhu (15 year bramachari in the LA Temple now living here in RK dham with his family and is a pujuari of RK) - also encouraged me to ask/take 2nd imitation

In addition to others in our community encouraging to take 2nd.

We really just want to be good Sankirtan men. We recently have been engaged in a new service here as Director of Krishna House in Dallas. Along with this we will be in the temple office as a congregation/community services head. Also, maintaining our service directing our western preaching outreach program (previously called Darshan Room). This is a full time service and the temple management has agreed to help us monetarily in a degree that my wife feels comfortable in her and the families security. Aditi and I discussed it using our intelligence, thinking about our childrens security including college, what if it doesn't work out what will be our back up plan ect. Also with the intelligence that it is in line with our nature and a service that makes since for us. Kalakanatha Prabhu is confident that we can do great things in this service with Krishna House. We hope that it pleases you Guru Maharaja and Srila Prabhupada.

We want to add quite a bit more but will save it for further blogs or when we see you here in Texas.

Haribol!

Your disciple,

Nanda-braja das

ASA/TB - AgtSP!! Paoho... Yeah! Sounds great, becoming a second initiate!

Do you have to dress like a Ku Klux Klan guy and wear funny robes?

Guess not. Don't see Pujaris doing that!

Sounds great.

We asked HpS, and he said, got a Bh. Sastri diploma? Required in Kala chandji Dhama?

Should be a fun, practical affair.

Think your kids are going to be Super People.

AgtSP!

Now we write our DTC.

Please stay in touch.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

  Humble request you to add HG Jiva Goswami's name in disciple list on http://www.jayarama.us/

  Also, we have created his own ID on https://monkeywarrior.com/ as 'jivagoswami'. So that he can communicate whenever he likes.

Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - Thank you. As always your association gives us energy and intelligence.

Last 24-hours in Radha-kunda.

Maybe we will die of a heart attack.

🤔

As we posted in response to Vyasapuja offerings, we will look at any late posted Reports and work on new Disciple List about Gaura Purnima.

It is fun(ny) being a bureaucrat for Krsna.

Hare krishna Maharaja toda las glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada, acepte mis humildes reverencias. Escribo para responder de manera más abreviada a sus preguntas.

En cuanto a mis guías en el Templo a quisiera mencionar a Madre Guru Govinda, Madre Priya Sakhi, Madre Sruti priya, Madre Maha Alandini y la Madre Gita Govinda todas ellas me han ayudado a avanzar en conciencia de Krishna y a mantener mi entusiasmo.

HpS-ASA - Sorry slow in answering. We had 2000 guests for Vyasapuja. You seem to have Super-Guides!

En cuanto a mi trabajo no estoy realizando terapias me encuentro coordinando un Programa Social el cual entrega habitabilidad y dirigiendo intervenciones psicosociales dentro del equipo.

Por otra parte quisiera comentar que en Chile pudimos vivir un hermoso Ratha Yatra.

Espero que krishna siempre lo cuide mucho.🌺

Reverencias Haribool !!!

HpS - Very nice. Where does Lord Jagannatha stay when He is not joining Rathayatra?

HpS - AgtSP. Please accept our humble obeisances.

Thank you for this annual report, birthday greeting.

Yet, the Annual Report is a simple form to be filled in here at the Blog.

To open it touch the Word 'Report' above.

It is mentioned in our original Guru-tattva document and must be filed by our Vyasapuja day.

Disciples can file later and we will look those Reports on Gaura-purnima.

For more general Vyasa-puja, birthday greetings we must ask people send them again later, after a few weeks or a month or so because we cannot look at them all immediately and we must clear them from our Blog folder so that we can see other timely news.

Thank you.

Look for you news soon.

So much to learn but it is eternal knowledge.



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

On this very wonderful appearance day I reflect on you and your ever expanding qualities. Your honesty and realness is always so refreshing to us. Your humor and playfulness keeps us excited and allows us to swallow some bitter pills so easily. You make it all so palatable. 

Without my connection to you and my relationship with you, I would surely be very lost. Sixteen rounds everyday and strictly following the four principles is not easy but with your enthusiasm infecting us and with you connecting us to Prabhupada and the Parampara it seems possible. It’s such a long and windy road full of so many obstacles and pit falls but for the first time in my life I can feel that I am going in the right direction at least. Just by following you to the small degree that I am. 

We had a very nice ceremony for you at the temple today with so many illuminations of your character. Powerful and instructive stories about you were spoken, the kirtan was spirited and the prasadam was spiritually potent. Split pea soup, yellow rice, banana muffins, orange zest pudding with a small amount of black pepper;) and fried potatoes. 

The reoccurring theme of our discussions was your comment to my last blog entry: “ISKCON lives or dies on the service in the Boise temple” and the memories of how supportive you have been to us here was very emotional. 

The black witch (Maya/ depression) is always trying to tell me that this temple will fail and that we don’t have enough devotees to help. So many unhopeful speculations creep in but only by your mercy I can fight them off. With the sword of knowledge and sadana! And your powerful association through the internet air waves~

So much more to say but I will leave it at that. Thank you Maharaja for lifting us up and giving us hope for a real human life full of wonder and discovery. This Krsna consciousness movement is moving because of great souls like you. I am eternally indebted to you. 

Your aspiring servant, 

Nitisara das

P.S. Here is a picture that Aja and Braja made for you:

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja.

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a los seis Goswamis.

Todas las glorias sean para Guru Parampara.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

Todas las glorias a Ud.

"Nací en las más oscura ignorancia, y mi maestro espiritual me abrió los ojos con la antorcha del conocimiento. A él le ofrezco mis respetuosas reverencias".

Desde el primer contacto que tuve con usted, se dio ésta situación, en donde alguien con plena ignorancia fue iluminada con Sus palabras y con Su presencia.

El Guru no solo nos enseña a través de la palabra, sino también a través de Su ejemplo, y esto es lo que destaco en Su persona.

Usted año tras año me ha enseñado con Su ejemplo, con Su disciplina al momento de seguir el perfecto proceso que nos entregó Srila Prabhupada.

Destaco también Su determinación y Su gran corazón... Su amor por Srila Prabhupada y Su esfuerzo sin paralelo por ser un digno discípulo y sirviente de Él.

Gracias por todos estos años de guía, y de refugio.

Srila Prabhupada debe estar muy complacido con Su servicio y entrega, digno de ser un habitante de la morada trascendental.

¡Todas las glorias a Usted!

Su aspirante a discípula y sirviente

Priya Sakhi Devi Dasi
