HH Hanumat Presaka Maharaj ki jaya!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj.

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I was very pleased to see on video that your Vyāsa Puja celibrations in Vrindavan went smoothly and that you appeared to enjoy your 75th appearance year.

Presently, I am back at the brahmachary āshrama in Simhachalam Temple, Germany due to maintenance issues in Vienna (I do not have enough funds to remain there). The good news is that I am very happy here in Bavaria and things are going nicely, without extra financial demands.

I will be assisting the temple in a marketing programme for life members (so to speak) online with the help of the Google Ad Grant Programme, that we shall be rolling out this year. The programme provides 10,000 USD in Google Advertising for free each month, to all non-profit organisations such as the temple here. I also have some business experience with this programme.

An issue I have is renouncing / suspending my legal career, but I think the Google Ad Grant programme support seva will be better for ISKCON and my long term Krishna consciousness as the legal industry is not very compatible therewith.

The second issue is my desire to receive second initiation sometime later this year in order to expand my service capabilities (viz. cooking and puja for Lord Nrisimhadeva). Please instruct how I can fulfil the relevant requirements to proceed on my side.

Kindly provide your blessings / instructions on these issues at your earliest convenience.

Your servant,

Janārdan-hari Dās.

HpS - ASA -- AgtSP! paoho. Sorry little slow in responding to this nice report.

Hope our Twitter, Blog, Kapi Dhvaja are keeping you informed of our travel and engagement.

You need a letter of recommendation from you Temple President.

How many days/week are you up for Mangala arati and completing the full morning service?

Have you done your Bhakti-sastri studies with a good teacher?

🙂🙂🙂

Hare Krsna Guru-Dev

I was trying to understand meaning of words

śrī-guru-charaṇa-padma  kevala-bhakati-sadma vando̐ muñi sāvadhāna-mate

it is translated as

I carefully offer obeisance unto the lotus feet of Śrī Guru, which are the abode of pure bhakti

sāvadhāna - means careful.

will it be possible to know why Srila Narottama Thakur used word sāvadhāna?

and what could be non-careful obeisance?

HpS - I don't know. Have not heard, but seems appropriate. We offer respects so many times as a careless formality.

Sincerely looking at Srila Prabhupada, Murti, during Puja to see his thought.

Hare Krishna Gurudev

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a tí.

Espero que te encuentres muy bien y feliz.

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudev. Pamho, AGTSP!

I think 2022 was a good year, but next year has to be better.

Srila Prabhupada, somewhere in the Bhagavatam, talks about the progressive devotee. The idea that there is always room for improvement encourages me a lot.

1.-First resolution: My sister, after several years involved in politics, was able to join a winner. She will have some influence in the Chosica mayor's office. Therefore, next year, I have to strive to achieve some preaching program with the municipality. You always gave me suggestions and I hope I can apply them.

2.- Second resolution: You and other people, my older brother, P. Omkara who has just graduated in psychology, have made me think about taking up my thesis and everything I need to get my degree. I immediately contacted some old college mates and found out that I just have only the year 2023 to complete my work before everything expires. So beg, borrow or steal, I'll do my best to fill in what's missing.

I will focus on those two points. My sadhana and my teacher service are going quite well. Tomorrow I will talk with P. Karuna Krishna, my authority, to see how I can help in that area. Due to the fact that for now I cannot work as an official teacher of Bhakti Vaibhava due to numerous administrative obstacles, I am going to propose teaching Pada Padma following the guidelines of ASA. I will, of course, continue with the Bhakti sastri and the course of disciples, etc.

Blessings on me, dear gurudev, to be able to achieve these goals which could greatly help Srila Prabhupada's dear ISKCON.

Thanks a lot,

your servant,

Laksmana-agraja das

(I hope my annual report and Raman reti devi dasi have reached you)

HpS-ASA - Yes, we responded to the Reports. You got them?

The social development of Sankirtan is the leading edge, no?

Yet, also seeing progress in your internal development?

Ie. adau sraddha.

Thank you.

We're just getting started.

We have centuries more work to do!

ISKCON Chosica hurray!

💪💪🦍🦍🦍💪💪

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.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias Gurudev, le ofrezco este reporte anual de mi sadhana.

Me e mantenido bien por ahora mi vida está en vivir al 100% en la finca, no asisto al centro de prédica de Monterrey pero trato de mantener mi conciencia adorando a mis deidades, leyendo, cuidando mi hogar, esposo e hijos.

Mis rondas fueron una montaña rusa en concentración pero mantengo mi esfuerzo en cumplir mis votos de iniciación y compromiso con mis principios.

Este año el estrés me enseñó que debo trabajar mis grados de ansiedad y trabajar en más con calma definitivamente la modalidad de la pasión me causa ansiedad al grado que desarrollé una crisis de epilepsia fue un viaje entre estar en hospitalización, estudios complejos resonancias, medicamentos y sin respuesta concreta los neurólogos me aconsejaron bajar el estrés de mi vida entonces buscamos cuidar nuestro vehículo para continuar nuestro servicio a krishna.

Este año fue especial para mi por que te conocí personalmente en Monterrey el año 2012 fue hace 10 años o: recuerdo que tuve una caminata con mi esposo Gadadhar Gosai y contigo en el parque, me aconsejaste que descubriera cual es mi naturaleza: brahmana, vaysia, ksatrya o Sudra. bueno 10 años es un buen tiempo para descubrirlo no? e analizado mis virtudes y debilidades o que puedo mejorar en mi carácter definitivamente e afrontado situaciones con personas en las que pude reaccionar con ira o responder de misma modalidad pero krishna nos a enseñado a mantener nuestros ideales también con buena asociación de devotas que nos dan consejo y guía. También analizo mi deseo de un futuro tomar 2 iniciación mi esposo me a dado orientación en este tema, como verlo de una perspectiva más madura y responsable.

Como te escribí en cartas anteriores laboralmente e aprendido a realizar trabajo de diseño gráfico como publicidad, marketing, fotografía gastronómica, actualmente tengo la oportunidad de comenzar una carrera en pedagogía infantil, puede ser el comienzo de otra etapa de mi vida que puede desarrollar un apoyo a más familias que educan en conciencia de krishna en México en mi experiencia personal e buscado material en inglés de otros países para aplicar juegos, cuentos, actividades en tema de krishna y sus pasatiempos, podría ser una ventaja aportar en lengua español.

Pedimos con nuestro humilde corazón sus bendiciones y más para mi esposo que está preparando la finca para su llegada en marzo, Gadadhar está realizando la maratón de sankirtan le envía reverencias y feliz Sri Vyasa Puja !

Nuestro reporte no se envió cuando lo escribimos pero lo compartimos de todas maneras😅

Dearest Gurudev AGTSSGN, AGTSP, PAMHO!!

I hope You had a nice Vyasa Puja!!

As in my previous letter, I continue to cook for the deities, twice a month. This time I was able to be there for your Vyasa Puja and at the invitation of my older brothers I gave the Srimad Bhagavatam class (changed the kitchen for the Vyasa-asana).

We had a very nice program, the decoration, garlands and all the arrangements looked very good, realize the celebration for the morning made everything going well.

I’m very grateful to Krishna, for how everything turned out. I think we all feel very comfortable and connected with you and Srila Prabhupada. I'm thinking of going to see you in Madrid, I still don't have the letter of recommendation (I’m waiting for the evaluation of the test), but I would like to visit you there anyway, what do you think?

Well, I have one more news, Krishna enlightened me to do something that I hope you like, the Ratha Yatra festival was held a while ago, I couldn't attend, but I looked for a way to help, I leave you a link so you can see how the festival was there, I think it is good material that will help us get sponsors and places for other festivals, I remembered to Prabhupada and Jayananda a lot.

So here my contribution. I hope the texts are good for You.

Felipe Cárcamo is who made the video. He’s a good friend.
