Jaya Guru Maharaja!

Hare Krishna

Danvadat Pranam

please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Gurudev thank you for inviting me to New Biharvan! Wonderful meeting Godbrothers and Godsisters and their associates. Thank you blessing me with your association and counsel. Thank you for your mercy on me then now and always. Please bless me to pay forward some tiny portion of this mercy. Please bless me to be a strong finisher in this and any future lives.

HpS - ASA --- Forgive us for taking three weeks to answer this post. Forgive us for not being a better example of pure devotional service in New Biharvan. AgtSP!! Who gives us this fine standard in hihs books and his transcendental residence in our hearts. We pray you get direct experiences of his mercy, instructions... What's in the rest of this letter?

Recently sponsored a Bhagavatam set for my Mom on your behalf. We are going to alternate days reading together Bhagavatam and books she selects from her tradition- first one is ‘theology for beginners’ by Frank Sheed.

ASA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sheed Super guy! Born one year after Srila Prabhupada. Could even read Your Ever Well Wisher with her.

I've been wearing Nectar of Instruction in my headphones for a little while now and looking forward to reading Tava Pache Pache.

ASA - Did you get it from Amazon? It is nice. Study guide, need a study partner.

Hope to be able to understand and follow strictly. I fast on ekadasi except temple prasadam, do not eat from restaurants, working on avoiding any garlic, onion. Will you be in California any time soon? Chaitanya Charitamrita Das is flying from Alachua second weekend in august to serve Ratha Yatra. Grateful for your mercy! Hope the Lord blesses you in all ways. Hare Krishna

HpS - Our calendar is in each Kapi Dhvaja (Except the last). Spain, India, Spain, Houston (22 Feb) ??? Mexico, Nashville... India??? Goloka???

your servant,

Loka Bandhu Rama Dasa

HpS - Please read the Kapi Dhvaja and send your reactions!!! Cynthia???



Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Le comento que desde hace 4 años realizo un servicio fijo en el Templo. Hacer las guirnaldas es un lindo servicio, el cual puedo desarrollar con mucho amor y devoción. Participo del servicio todos los jueves y por supuesto para los festivales, decorando el altar con hermosas flores y cintas de colores.

Muchas gracias Maharaja por permitirme compartirle algunas fotografías de mi servicio.

Su sirviente,

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

I tell him that for 4 years I have been doing a permanent service in the Temple. Making the garlands is a beautiful service, which I can develop with a lot of love and devotion. I participate in the service every Thursday and of course for the festivals, decorating the altar with beautiful flowers and colored ribbons.

Thank you very much Maharaja for allowing me to share some pictures of my service with you.

his servant,

HpS - ASA - AGTSP!!! In San Francisco the floral shops sold garlands from Hawaii. I think now they might be like $70 each!

Offering Krsna nice garlands and flowers is not a small thing.

I hope the systematic nature of your service extends to organize your life, other service, and add color to it.

Why not do the same job with the Gopis in Goloka?

There the flowers are people.

Very nice, informative photos. After our Lion on a Bicycle we offered some flowers.



Send some photos of your good self with some friends?

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP PAMHO

I have seen your photos and videos in spain it's really wonderful. The band that was live when arrived it was so refreshing, sometimes the kirtan is so loud that the mahamantra is covered.

I came to Jacksonville in order to meet my little niece, Gabriele. I met a devotee at the airport in Miami. I was waiting my connection flight in one gate and then it change it to NASHVILLE. Some day I will go to know the city.

My cousin ordered Tava Pache Pache on Amazon prime!!!! I got it. I Will start reading it tonight. Reading it is like listening to You talking to us directly.

Superb Job. Lord Nrismhadeva is traveling with me. I made cookies for the family today.

Thanks for all your effort in spreading Krsna consciousnes.

I will see You soon

Trying to be Your disciple

HpS/ASA - Very nice news. AgtSP! He guides our travel. All over the planet are nice devotees like us. People expect us to preach. Do it in an appropriate way, but remind ourselves and inform others of the principles of BG, SB, LOB, NoI, TLC!!!!

Happy life.

Por favor acepte mis reverencias

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Deseo se encuentre bien de salud al recibo de esta carta, lo tengo presente en mi corazón, pero me doy cuenta de lo mediocre que soy espiritualmente y de la misericordia que necesito de su parte para seguir avanzando.

Le pregunté en una carta anterior si usted me podía enviar un listado de canciones vaisnavas que yo pudiera adaptarlas al español, y usted me pidió que le enviara las que ya he compuesto hasta el momento, así que aquí se las dejo. En la descripción del video está la letra en español.

Bueno Gurudeva, dependiendo de lo que usted opine, me gustaría tener una listado de muchas canciones vaisnavas para trabajar en ellas y cumplir con su instrucción.

Gracias Gurudeva

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I hope you are in good health upon receipt of this letter, I have it in my heart, but I realize how mediocre I am spiritually and the mercy I need from you to continue advancing.

I asked you in a previous letter if you could send me a list of Vaisnava songs that I could adapt to Spanish, and you asked me to send you the ones that I have already composed so far, so here I leave them. In the description of the video is the lyrics in Spanish.

Well Gurudeva, depending on what you think, I would like to have a list of many Vaisnava songs to work on and fulfill your instruction.

Thank you Gurudeva

Your servant

HpS - We listened to clips of the songs and read some of the lyrics. Of course, we are 90% incompetent to judge them since we are not poetically fluent in Spanish.

You need someone else to review them.

What about Visvanatha Chakravarti Das or others?

Yourself, you can criticize them after you finish them and the sit for a few weeks, and then you will see room for improvement.

Your path is correct. Continue.

Composition, performance, criticism.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Please accept our humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

I hope you are in very good health. Unfortunately I couldn't follow you on the morning program but I read the Blog relatively frequently.

Hps/ASA - I hope that it is useful, that NIOS/ASA are one resource amongst others in your connection with Srila Prabhupada.

'he radhe vraja devike! he nanda suno kutah'?

At the moment, Indira Sakti and I are in Lima attending to some family emergencies. We hope to return to the mountains in 10 days, but with the commitment to return to the city more often because we are needed here.

Murari gupta would heal his patients spiritual ills along with their material ills.

The service in the MoE flows calmly. The regional representatives are now complete, having incorporated Aravinda das and Paramatma das.

On the other hand, we are organizing an educational community-program, initially for teachers only, with a view to incorporating other devotees in the future.

We have begun to meet fortnightly to discuss topics of common interest, organize training courses and possible publications, databases, seminars, etc.

The response has been relatively good, although I think more enthusiasm is needed (enthusiasm seems like the desirable jewel in these gray days).

We are also advancing in the organization of the Bhakti Vaibhava course for the Guayaquil temple, in charge of Karuna-nitay Prabhu and Mitravinda devi dasi.

Also, I'm giving Bhagavad-gita classes for the ISKCON Buenos Aires temple.

Indira Sakti and I are fine,

consolidated in a good marriage in which the presence of the Lord is never missed for long. My work as a teacher and researcher in visual and cultural issues has found new opportunities. It is interesting to observe the cultural theory as a distorted reflection of the sastra, sometimes related, sometimes contrary, but as a fragment of an archeology to be reconstructed from the sastric perspective.

In the next post I will send you two article proposals for the Kapi Dhvaja as you requested earlier.

HpS - The work you describe is excellent. It needs to be distributed. Of course, Abhirama Th. Das', NIOS's, Solaris is one good avenue. Do you know others?

Gurumaharaja, do you allow me to learn and perform Homa yajna? A need has arisen and I want to know if you agree with it. Basically it is to deal with domestic situations. My sadhana standard is fine.

If you are a Brahmana, of course, you can do it. You need to learn from an expert how to do it. How are you connected to GBC, Temple President et al?

Always praying for your health and well-being

your little servant

Gandharva das

HpS - Hare Krsna. Hare Rama. Let us look at another letter. It is 10.55PM here in Brihuega, Spain, but only now is the weather cooling so that we can work. During the day it is hot and a siesta is natural.

Thank you.

We hope your next article include nice art!

Hare Krsna

Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that I got the news of Guruji's Imphal (Manipur) visit during 22-25 Sept. 2022 from Dr. Sarda Devi. It is our golden chance to seed You and serve. I will try to participate in the four days in Imphal. Due to my health, I could not read and write on this blog. Excuse me thousands of times.

Your fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Thank you. Your news is wonderful. Your Kirtan and Japa reach us as communication when other media fail. We will plan the visit to Manipur with our guests to be very pleasant and useful. See you then and in Goloka!! Respects to your family and all the devotees.
