Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP PAMHO

I saw the celebration of your Sri Vyasa Puja it was great I wish I were there.

HpS - It was great and I was glad to be there and I also wish I wasn't there. We are not substitutes for Srila Prabhupada but we are also not unrelated to him. We do represent him! We should push, push, push our representative ability!!!!!!

Gurudeva on Christmas I received terrible news My University is going to be closed.

HpS - That is great!!!! Now we can just sit down and chant Hare Krsna and live on whatever little Prasadam Srila Prabhupada sends us. He took Tamal krsna Goswami to another body, because he needed him!

The SUNEDU, that is an University audit body, determined that my University, Alas Peruanas, must closed. They have standards that we do not passed. Anyway I was been working there since 2003. I feel devastated. More than 60 000 students need to go to other University.

UAP had a very bad administration, there were a lot of corruption involved. I am looking for a job. Or maybe start my own business. This year I lost many important things for me. I do not what my father do in this situation.

I do not know what Krsna's plan is.

HpS - Get up early and listen to everyone sing about how great He is!!! Have you faced the fact that you will die, with no strength or resources. It will happen. So let us accept it, then see what association Krsna sends us.

I have always wanted to move to Nova Gokula and live there. That place attracts me more than India.

I really miss the feeling of relief and joyful that I had when I traveled with you

Well it is all that I have to inform you.

See U at FMP

I have insomnia

Trying to be your disciple

Chandramukhi dd

HpS - Lord Caitanya had insomnia! He would grind His face against the wall and chant Hare Krsna! This is a movie. It is not real life. You cannot starve to death in a movie. Hare Krsna!!!! Let us see what amazing things will happen next!!

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudev !!

 Please accept my humble obeisances,

 All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 In the torrent of mercy of the previous Acaryas, you function as a dam, graduating it and releasing it to the right extent for the benefit of all of us, your disciples. The glory of the Guru param para is a living reality in my existence thanks to your infinite patience and mercy upon me.

 Your life is a source of inspiration, the constant flame that illuminates our path to Krishna. You build a bridge between Iskcon and secular society for the benefit of all, just as Lord Ramacandra laid a bridge to Lanka to rescue Sita. You are the Bhagavata devotee. I surrender to your lotus feet, the perfection that satisfies all desires. Because those lotus feet take me to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada, the safest shelter on the way to Krishna. Your instruction is very clear, the force that helps overcome all obstacles in the spiritual life. It inevitably leads us to stick to devotional service.

 All Glories to the Sankirtan of His Holiness Hanumatpresaka Swami !!

 Trying to serve you,

 Your fallen disciple,

 Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna!!!!! Krsna Krsna!!!! Hare Hare!! 

We can only hope that your Sankirtan is super!!!!! See the world behind this world.

Hare Krishna Estimado Gurudev!!

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

En el torrente de misericordia de los Acaryas previos, usted funciona como un dique, graduando la misma y soltándola en la medida justa para el beneficio de todos nosotros, sus discípulos. La gloria del Guruparampara es una realidad viva en mi existencia gracias a su infinita paciencia y misericordia para conmigo.

Su vida es una fuente de inspiración, la llama constante que ilumina mi camino hacia Krishna. Usted tiende un puente entre Iskcon y la sociedad secular para beneficio de todos, así como el Señor Ramacandra tendió un puente hacia Lanka para rescatar a Sita. Usted es el devoto Bhagavata. Yo me rindo a sus pies de loto, la perfección que satisface todos los deseos. Porque esos pies de loto, me llevan a los pies de loto de Srila Prabhupada, el refugio más seguro camino hacia Krishna. Su instrucción es muy clara, la fuerza que ayuda a superar todos los obstáculos en la vida espíritual. Nos lleva indefectiblemente a apegarnos al servicio devocional.

Todas las Glorias al Sankirtan de Su Santidad Hanumatpresaka Swami!!

Intentando servirlo,

Su caído discípulo,

Nikunja Bihari das.

Hare Krsna Dear Guru Maharaj,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

  we know who you are for us...for me. We have boundless respect for you, 

  for Srila Prabhupada, for devotees, for ISKCON, we don't require this 

  justification (https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/10681/). Of course, this

  is good for those who don't understand our Guru parampara.

  i personally feeling sad to see this letter (https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/10681/)

  we have very less time so it will be better to ignore none spiritual questions.

  and focused on spiritual questions and practices. More interested to

know about Krsna and his related things from you. You have huge collections of

confidences / comprehensions about Krsna.

  We not required proving ourselves in-front of those none-spiritual questions.

  and if someone make me small by winning those questions..am fine with that.

  If you really like those none spiritual questions then i have no words.

  May be my comments are too harsh, please pardon me. i just wanted to know

  about Radha-Krsna. Like :

HpS-ASA -- Thank you for your comments. This dialog with this good Panjabi (?) devotee and then Basu gosh Das from Baroda about Guru in ISKCON is a little difficult for us, but on the other hand it may be useful to so many innocent people attacked by crazy ideas. We have to put our ideas out for criticism.

Also, https://vedabase.io/en/library/iso/11/, we have to look at the bad things about material life as well as the good things about spiritual life. If we only look at good things of spiritual life we will become Sahajiyas and if we only look at the bad aspects of material life we will become Mayavadis We are Sahajavadis! We look at both and get attraction and repulsion both to return to Krsna.

  1. How you see Radha-Krsna every day?

ASA - Many, many ways. You also? We "see" Them when we are chanting Japa for Them. We see Them during Mangala arati. Here we see Radha Nila-madhava, in Houston. They are over two meters tall!!

  2. How you used to see Radha-Krsna during arti in your pujari tenure?

ASA - We are still Pujari, but now in Sannyasa ashrama. We bath "our" Deities every day. On the altar in San Francisco, we bathed Radha Gokulananda some times. Their brass bodies are not fully covered so if one is in a male body it is shocking to bath Radha rani and I guess it is the same if one is in a female body to bath, Krsna. so.... we have to be able to make some kind of mental adjustment like I am a Gopi assistant of Mother Yasoda helping her bathe Radharani, for at least some time.

  3. Which reciprocation with Radha-Krsna made you more close to them?

ASA - In general, Blog ambience, we just see Them and chant for Their satisfaction and feel Their presence in in Their murti form.

  4. Which form of Radha-Krsna you like the most?

ASA - Like many. Probably a material taste in many ways. Of course, our first Darshana was Radha Gokulananda in San Francisco, so They are very intense. In general, almost any Temple we go to we become attached to Radha-Krsna in that form and then feel separation when we leave.

  5. Which season and time makes you more closer to Radha-Krsna's passtime ?

ASA - None in particular. You??

  6. Which Krsna you like the most - Vrndavan Krsna, Dwarika Krsna, Goloka Krsna ?

ASA - Same as 4, no???

  7. How you see the offerings before and after?

ASA - For vision usually the same, but intellectually with more respects, but one time I saw how Srila Prabhupada was beyond the modes of nature when I was wondering how Prasadam is transcendental.

  8. Which reciprocation makes you think about Krsna?

ASA - Many, many.

  9. How you see the full moon in the night?

ASA - As very big. Inspiring. Do you think we might be Were-wolves????

  10. What comes in your mind when you see full moon?

ASA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9fWjzYiRUE A song about Radha and Krsna.

  Ignore me if my questions are annoyed. 

  You are always as per NOI.

your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

Hare Krsna Dear Guru Maharaj,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - 70% Lotus feet. What about yours?

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

HpS - Jaya!

  Thank you so much Gurudev for your comments and divine photos of lord

  on https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/10669/

  Temple services are as usual, was doing Rajbhoj seva on Saturday

  and Sunday. Dasa-Anudas seva going to start from Thursday in the 

  evening ( 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM ).

  BG study as usual now. It was irregular for few days earlier.

  New job is bit demanding, don't get much time. Going to get new assignment

  soon so getting some time for myself.

  HG Jibesh Das is doing excellent Book Distribution in west

HpS - AGTSP. We are in a roaring river now back in the USA. Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. Kapi Dhvaja like tomorrow!!!!!! Preach to your work mates.

Hare Krsna Dear Guru Maharaj,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.

  Gurudev, Your 70+ Years old body has huge enthusiasm like a 16 year body. 

  You are always as per NOI.

  Blog is full of none spiritual material stuff. All complains about material nature, 

  very less talks about Krsna. You patently read all those stuffs and reply!!

  You have huge collections of secrets / realizations about Krsan, which you can

  easily share with us but as all write about their complain so you stop your

  self to write or express yourself. While, all those who are practicing seriously, 

  need those secrets for spiritual progress.

  All are highly intelligent and know that spiritual master is for spiritual queries only. 

  but they lost their intelligence when they write to you.

HpS-ASA - AGTSP!!! Paoho. It seems we are all mixed devotees and so we sometimes, often, usually think of our body and mind as our selves and relate to Krsna and Guru by those media.

One esteemed disciple in Argentina told us that it had taken him seven years to understand that we were his spiritual master and not his psychologist. It impressed us and gives us impetous to purify our relationship with Srila Prabhupada.

If I ask you how your new job is, it is not material, no? I want to know what is your situation for your Yoga. Arjuna! was engaged in maybe the most material occupation, civil war but Prabhupada says it was a very difficult "Bhajan" but he did it very well!

Of course, we, like you, do like questions that stimulate our thoughts about Krsna.

Ultimately we are like many devotees, you (?), we have decided that Harinama anukirtam in the dust of the lotus feet of Prabhupada is the best service for which we can aspire.

How is your new job? Is a Sankirtan strategy developing for telling them about Krsna?

your fallen servant,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

All Glories to Sri Sri Gour Nitay

All Glories to You

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, pelase accept my humble obeissances, this is Dhanistha devi dasi, from Santiago, Chile, It’s very sad to not have your visit, I was expecting to take your darshan, the situation here, it’s very caothic, today we went with some devotees to chant the Holy Names, and people were felling a comforting sensation in their hearts, hopping seing you soon,

your servant,

Dhanistha devi dasi

HpS - AGTSP. Paoho. Again, we are sorry from spiritual weakness and pressure of travel we are not able to answer letters so quickly. Now we are using this Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code so that people have to read the Kapi Dhvaja before writing. All the general news is there and so the letters become more relevant.

Of course, by Krsna's arrangement we did go to Chile and had an incredible Sankirtan experience. We were made humble by your persistence in participating in all the programs, and your very excellent questions.

We hope we can become a part of the full success of Krsna consciousness in Chile. How is your Sankirtan? We are starting to exchange a few letters with the Temple administration of our suggestions to expand the Sankirtan and hope to push our own personal efforts also.

What is happening with your Sankirtan?

Who are your partners?

What is your global vision as if the whole movement depended on you?

HpS - ASA
