Hare Krishna..!! 🙏

Dandavat pranam gurumaharaj.. 🙏Gurumaharaj please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Praphupada..!! 🙏

Gurumaharaj, I'm your servant Nabadwipa Ishwara Das from Imphal, Manipur.

Gurumaharaj, I would like to share a bit about my spiritual journey.

On my early days I was so fortunate that I met Sharad Guarangi mataji. She used to guide me and one day she gave me a wonderful opportunity to associate with the serious deevotees. And she even added me to watsaap group for devotees name "Hare krishna". Here in this group daily we use to share our devotional activities ,photos, videos ,sastras , Srila Prabhupad's spiritual quotes etc. And Daily through this group sharad gaurangi mataji give classes for bhagavad gita at evening 7-8 pm and bhagvatam at 6:30-7 am.

One fine day, I shared about my desire to be your disciple at Sharad gaurangi mataji. So, on my birthday mataji gave me your framed photo as a priceless gift. From that day I started praying at your lotus feet. And with krishna's mercy I was blessed to take part in your diksha program here in Imphal,Manipur.

Gurumaharaj, I'm following the 4 regulative principles strictly and chanting 16 rounds daily. Moreover, I'm attending mangal aarti daily and on sunday I go along with sharad mataji to attend mangal aarti. And after attending mangal aarti at Iskcon mandir, me and sharad mataji go for Govindaji temple dharshan.

Gurumaharaj ,I have a strong desire to serve you. I'm bowing down my head at your lotus feet, Please allow me to serve you🙏. I've also booked my ticket and I'm arriving on 8th of December at Radhakunda. And I'll be staying there till your vyasa puja.🙏

Your Servant

Nabadwipa Ishwara Das

HpS - Thank you for your letter.

What do you know of Srila Prabhupada?

Hare Krsna gurudev, por favor acepte mis reverencias a sus pies y sean todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!

Espero que usted esté muy bien, caminando dichoso por El Radha Kunda, en muy buena compañia.

Hace mucho que no le escribo. No encontré el código en el KD. Me había acostumbrado a reunirme con usted en gotomeeting, ahora lo extraño mucho.

Seguimos aquí en Córdoba con Deva Vrata y en compañia de varios devotos. Nos reunimos en el mandir Radha Krsna Candra los miércoles para mangalarati y programa completo los domingos, donde nos turnamos para atender a las Deidades. Sigo con el servicio de tesorería, doy una clase por mes en Clases en vivo IsKcon buenos aires, y también cada tanto en el mandir. Nos reunimos cada 15 días a compartir un capítulo del S Bhagavatam, estamos finalizando el canto 5.

Estamos soñando con ir a India a verlo en el 2024, ojalá Krsna cumpla nuestro deseo.

Estoy cantando las 16 rondas diariamente, levantándome alrededor de 5 am.

Quería preguntarle, si tiene tiempo, su opinión de una entrevista que le hizo prabhu Param Padam a su santidad Hrdayananda swami, en su canal de YT. Están desestimando los comentarios de Srla Prabhupada del Bhagavad Gita? Desde el minuto 14.18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv_HZ_fE96U

Tiene alguna instrucción para mi gurudev?

Muchísimas gracias por todo!!!. Es mi deseo que su salud mejore cada día!!!

Su discípula que lo quiere mucho, Campaka lata dd.

Hare Krsna gurumaharaja!!!

Hare Krsna gurudev, please accept my obeisances at your feet and all glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

I hope that you are very well, walking happily through El Radha Kunda, in very good company.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Paoho. In Kapi Dhvaja we gave a sample of our health and situation.

We are learning to live here and adjust to the social situation in Kartika.

I haven't written to you in a long time. I didn't find the code in the KD. I had used to meet you on gotomeeting, now I miss you so much.

ASA - We still have the Saturday programs with Upendra Das. We will try to organize some programs in Spanish!

Watch for us at Twitter.

We continue here in Córdoba with Deva Vrata and in the company of several devotees. We gather at the Radha Krsna Candra mandir on Wednesdays for mangalarati and full program on Sundays where we take turns attending the Deities. I continue with the treasury service, I teach a class per month in IsK Live Classes with Buenos Aires, and also from time to time in the mandir. We meet every 15 days to share a chapter of the S Bhagavatam, we are finishing song 5.

ASA - Forest of Material Enjoyment?

We are dreaming of going to India to see him in 2024, hopefully Krsna fulfills our wish.

I am chanting the 16 rounds daily, getting up around 5 am.

I wanted to ask you, if you have time, your opinion of an interview that prabhu Param Padam did with His Holiness Hrdayananda Swami, on his YT channel. Is he minimizing Srila Prabhupada's comments on the Bhagavad Gita? From minute 14.18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv_HZ_fE96U

ASA - We looked at it and it is a little hard for us to follow the Spanish, especially the subtle aspect of looking at Srila Prabhupada's translations and purports or looking at the dictionary understanding of the words and Maharaja's own comprehension of Sanskrit from his various readings and teachers including Srila Prabhupada and other Acharyas.

I think researching the broader Sanskrita perspective can give us deeper comprehension of our Guru's work, but understanding BG from perspective of SB and CC is more important.

From perspective of applying our Guru's translation.

For Maharaja and the kind of preaching he is doing, knowing the common Sanskrita translations might be very appropriate. I can't tell more that from the interview.

Do you have any instructions for me Gurudev?

HpS - Talk with Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you very much for everything!!!. It is my wish that your health improves every day!!!

His disciple who loves him very much, Campaka can dd.

Hare Krsna, gurumaharaja!!!

Hare Krishna, dear gurudev and devotees!

For your mercy we were able to celebrate this two festival.

ASA - AgtSP! Yet, your effort is also a cause for your celebration.

Many readings, sravanam, kritanam, smaranam...

Pada sevanam as well.

Cooked for our Lordships at home. Very nice and artistic Govardhana hill. Wanderful Srila Prabhupada's altar. Delicious preparations.

Then, shared with my family and we saved some for our friend at the temple where we are going to celebrate both festivals on sunday.

We feel very satisfied with our home service, always getting better and increasing. All thanks to Srila prabhupada's and your mercy.

We miss you and hope Krishna give us resourses and strenght to visit you as soon as we can.

This is for now.

Please send us your benedictions to be a better devotees and better persons.

Thank you.

Your servant,

LAD

HpS - Are you finishing your MA, PhD? In your hearing and chanting, are you keeping notes for teaching, publishing?

Maybe you can visit Mexico in March for several reasons?

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj

Please accept my obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Now I find myself traveling to many places in Trujillo, I plan to return to Lima at the end of this year. I keep chanting my 16 rounds (99% of the time) and following the 4 regulative principles.

After many changes I was able to continue with my “Stories of the Universe” project, and I hope to finish all 32 episodes in January 2023. This is the video of Episode 20: THE PERFECT DEVOTEE – The story of King Prahlad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRd6toOQvco&list=PL5xVXVPJVrr7QgKNmOEoTUT2O7wk4ZooG&index=20

The project requires a lot of dedication in editing each video and I try to stay focused all the time. I hope to finish the project so I can continue my studies in data science and artificial intelligence

Thank you very much for giving us inspiration.

Hare Krishna

Jagat Pavitram das

(Perú)

HpS-ASA - AgSP. I hope that you can see from the Kapi-Dhvaja, posts here and Twitter, that we were very occupied for one year, Damodara to Damodara, with filming the movie, Diary of a Traveling Creature: The Ultimate Trip.

We have a little time and strength to handle the mail now.

Would like to stay more in touch.

You Sankirtan seems very useful.

Promote it.

Can people buy the books from contact with your Histories?

All Glories TO Sri SRI Radha Syamadundara,

All Glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj,

I came here just to tell you that Carolina is now Krishanghi Gopi Devi Dasi, Guru Maharaj 🙏🏼.

HpS/ASA - Is KrsAngri DD? Krsna = Attractive and angri = Sense. Hanuman is Bajra-angri = Thunderbolt Arms.

Such a nice name. Now she is very dignified lady. Now she must set an example for us.

We came to New York City as a family to the Carolina's initiation. Radhanath Swami gave the name Krishanghi Gopi Devi Dasi to her.

She is very happy and very grateful with you particularly because she remembered very well that you gave your blessing in our stay together in Peru. You desire that her initation happens as soon as possible, and actually, it happens in the very same year.

HpS - !!! So many nice memories.

Rasarani have know different parks, she's asking why the animals are locked in the zoo, and Madhavi make kirtan by herself with 1 year and half, she pronunce the Krishna's Holy Name as good as she can, but the mood and emotion definitely is there.

HpS - Here all the new houses are covered with strong metal wire to keep the monkeys out, but to them it is like all the humans are in cages like animals in a zoo, to not hurt them?

Jaya. Krsanghri gopi Devi Dasi.

Thank you dear Guru Maharaj.

AgtSP.

Loka bandhu rama Das, paoho,

How are you?

No news?

We are 9-minutes from Radha Kunda in Vrndavana.

We hope to base here until 9 January.

We received a very nice text message from Lokanatha Das. That is free, but if we respond we must pay $10 for text message access for the day.

Can you text our response to him and include this explanation that we can receive messages but to respond it is more convenient to do it through someone who has Whatsapp.

Maybe he can get Whatsapp, but its nice to be in touch with you also.

He texted:

please accept my humble obeisa nces all glory to Srila Prabhupada more maintenance on the eye coming up this one i get sedated and stay conscious while being cut i adjusted to it by thinking it wont be any worse than some of the dentists ive had working on my teeth i made two shadow shows that still havent been performed and i stàrted looking at the story of Durvasa Muni cursing Àmbarisa

HpS  -   Hare Krsna, Prabhu. AGTSP. Paoho. We think about you frequently and how to contact you. I hope LBRD has forwarded the Whataspp message we sent to him and our communication situation is clear.

Your news is like a day full of sunhine for us.

We hope you can keep your body, machine, maintenance in the mode of pure goodness so that it can be a perfect instrument for your and Krsna's service in this world.

We also hope that you don't become discouraged and work to animate the 'Purnima Puppet Theater' so that your shadow shows can be broadcast.

If Krsna sends us some facility we would like to paticipate more with that work.

We will post this text to our Blog and maybe ist will generate from PPT action.

Can you access the internet?

We still publish our bulletin, 'Kapi Dhvaja', every two weeks at www.JayaRama.US, News.

If you can't get it, maybe Loka bandhu rama Das can forward it to you.

Hoping for more news.

Take a book for your occulist?
