Hare Krishna Gurumaharaja

AgtSP

PAOHO

I hope you are well. I understand that you are currently in Spain and will be traveling to South America in February. It will be a pleasure to see you after so many years.

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. AgtSP.! Thank you for your letter. It means a lot to us.

We are currently in Radha Kunda, in a wonderful unheated cement ashrama. Built and maintained for the Anjana Suta Acadamy by H. G.Krsna-svarupa Das.

It is 5-degrees Celcius sometimes here!

AQI usually over 150.

Lot of distress.

Meeting many kinds of people.

Also LOT of benefits!!

Now it is 12.40AM

Trying to squeeze is some Blog mail during this packed. packed schedule.

Yes!!! So nice to touch our feet in Peru again and see everyone.

Indira Sakti dd and I are on vacation after a very demanding academic year, and we will be traveling to the Northern Andes tomorrow to document a place that is part of a research project I am working on. During your Vyasapuja, I read a verbal offering that I will refrain from publishing here, considering that it is truly the privilege of your oldest and/or closest disciples. My wife and I remember you often, especially during that day in the company of our spiritual brothers and sisters and your well-wishers.

For now, I would like to ask you a question about something I recall hearing you mention: theoretically and practically, how is it possible to guide knowledge to meditation (from jñana to dhyana)? Or, how can we cleanse the "mirror of the mind" so that jñana is naturally reflected as dhyana?

I understand that it is not merely a process of cognitive deepening, but rather an intermediate stage between dry knowledge and theorizing, and the awakening of elevated emotions through and for Krishna. Am I correct, or am I simply reducing it to a linear scheme (jnana-dhyana-bhakti)?

I look forward to your response and thank you in advance. We hope to see you soon, Gurudeva.

Your servant

Gandharva das

HpS - NoI 7 explains following the process to liberation. Brahmana.

Eight explains how it goes to Raganuga Bhakti.

I hope to look at Text 8 today and make more comment.

Basically it is nothing more than chanting .... as prescribe by Gur. SPsays get up early and chant. Chant in Sankirtan, Japa, during Mangala arati, Read SB, in front of our dieties etc.

That process matures gradually.

Let us rea 8 and talk later!!!

Time to start our daily Japa Joe 16-rounds before Mangala arati online effort!!!

Thank you again and again. Good luck with your docmentry.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj. All glories to H. H. Yadunandan Maharaj. All glories to the super devotees accompanying Guru Maharaj. Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet lotus feet.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj,

Thank you for the tears... precious tears [with our Rasa lila performance] ...yours ...everybody's....and ours...tears of sheer ecstatic love....thank you for making us experience a piece of transcendence....we remain forever indebted to you always....for eternity....thank you beyond words...we love you so much Guru Maharaj...and your precious associates accompanying....we have nothing to offer beyond our love and tears...

The matajis were still crying in the regular SB class at 6.30pm....we shared our realizations....Indeed...Srila Prabhupada has been invited by our Guru Maharaj to be with us...We wish to serve our Spanish devotees in Spain ...then at Peru...as Guru Maharaj has always wanted...kindly give us the mercy to serve you better and better...Srimad Bhagavatam has brought all of us together....

It was Guru Maharaj who gave us the inspiration to read the SB daily....and today Guru Maharaj has inspired the members of the reading group of Manipur beyond boundaries...thank you Guru Maharaj...the Matajis love for you has surpassed mine...they practiced, they meditated, they chanted, they fasted for the entire offering, broke fast after the offering, served the Vaishnavas by sponsoring the prasadam after the cultural programme, they absorbed the SB...we are now in SB canto 5 for morning session...and Canto 3 in evening session....we are enthusiastic to serve the devotees all over the world...with your mercy Guru Maharaj.

Kindly forgive any inconveniences on our part...please accept our humble offering . Thank you once again dearest Guru Maharaj.

HpSwami ASA - Now it is very enlivening to see you here in Radha-kunda.

Thank you.

Were there any comments about your performance from directors or members of JHL Dance Academy?

It was so nice.

We need a video with a narration of what is happening and being spoken in the dance in vernacular language, no?

HpSwami - Hare Krsna

Thank you for your letter. You seem very fortunate and very sincere.

We are not initiating any more, too old.

Any other Diksa gurus near you?

Do you know Nikunja bihari Das in Mar de Plata?

Thank you!

AGTSP,all glories to dear Guru Maharaj,my humble obeisances to your lotus feet🙏 I regrate to inform you that due to an unavoidable circumstance , I will not be able to get your devine darshan at Imphal.I feel unworthy and full of sin .I am honored that you are undertaking a long spiritual journey.unfortunately, because of my health and recent check up has stopped me again. I humbly ask for your blessings🙏. Your servant of the servant Nicinta Nityai DD🙏

HpSwami - Thank you. Hare Krsna.

I think devotees directly explained this to me.

We are always together if we are chanting Hare Krsna.

We try to post news here and in the anveSaka WhatsApp group.

Hari Bolo.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to our Guru Maharaj, H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Guru Maharaj. All glories to the 15-super devotees accompanying Guru Maharaj.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our humble obeisances to your sweet, sweet, sweet Lotus feet. Finally we will be able to get Darshan of those merciful lotus feet.

HpSwami ASA 🐒 - I only see we are in desperate need of a pair of toe nail clippers.

Few hours from now.....finally Guru Maharaj will be purifying all of us.

The AQI is fortunately not as bad as in other parts of the country. Moderate single digit. All glories to Sri Radha Krishnachandra!!

Little cold in mornings and nights, pleasant daytime with lots of sunshine. Manipur is desperately waiting for Your sweet dust of lotus feet. May happier times come forth in all her glories.

Your insignificant servant,
