All Glories to Sri Sri Goura Nitay!!!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!!!

All Glories to You!!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances, this is Danistha devi dasi, from Santiago, Chile. Thank You so much, for Your answer, it's like a ray of sun for me. We are passing throug some difficulties, and Your words, give me peace and strenght. I'm chanting my rounds, they connect me with the Source and the goal of life, also reading Srimad Bhagavatam. Some demonic influences want to arrive, but I mantain them far away, always remebering Your nice association.

Thank You

Your servant,

Danistha devi dasi.

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. "Keeping the demons far away", we remember one French poet who was severely criticized by some opponents and he responded that he "washed them all away" from a great height.

ISKCON France, Ki Jai!

Dhanistha Dasi, ki jai!

Please send some colorful news of your Sankirtan! Nation.

All Glory to Srila Prabhupad and all glory to the followers of him, involved on this sankirtan movement!

Pleace acept my respectfull obeisances.

Dear Guru Dev, Fortunately I have continued with the Japa and the principles, I have continued studying the books of Srila Prabhupada, every day I am witness to the progress of the degraded era, and simultaneously of the magnificent power of Krsna,

I am always very grateful to his person, who gives us a tireless example of looking for and following Krsna,

unfortunately I am very bad in the social formalities. So I've stayed on the sidelines but simple in ISKCON, I'm still sharing as far as I can learn from you and Srila Prabhupada. Again I present some questions:

HpS/ASA - By nature, agtSP, the Jiva is 'marginal potency', no? so sannyasi, goswami, is naturally 'marginal' to the institutional aspects of society. arjuna was a ksatriya in active years, so KRSNA, urged him to do his duty, but internally detached/acting for KRSNA, while vyasadeva he told to stay in the forest, write, travel and preach.

so, your position has seemed very essential to our institution and proper! Continue.

By adding all the verses of the Srimad Bhagavtam (of BBT) there are only 14094, 3906 are missing for the 18000s Are they somewhere or to what is this?

HpS/ASA - This is a broad, continuous, old discussion, investigation in ISKCON, by simple devotees like us and Oxford graduate devotees in Theology.

Maybe a different way of counting verses, maybe different version is being used. That is 78% accurate. 🙂

In Kali-yuga, which is not the age of Jnana, that seems very good. Like I get fed 78% of the time!

Also, the statement that there are 16-words in the Maha-mantra is an accurate count, no?

Now we have to chant It, Mahamantra, no?

Now we have to read and test it and apply It, SB, no?

Many times they invite me to meetings with devotees from other Sangas, I never go, to avoid having to fall into controversy, however, when they ask me for support and advice, what is the most correct answer you should give?

HpS/// Tell them, chant Hare Krsna, Hare Rama, and expect Krsna and Rama to kill any demons in ISKCON, and to preach to the innocent, and if they want you to do more, then They will unmistakably empower you.

Beyond, and following that, we can read Srila Prabhupada's books to people.

Same controversies in Goloka, but there all the fights are FUN!!! 💥 💥

Krsna & Narada Muni say that the Brahmacari must dress with deer skin and should not polish their teeth, however in the NOD it says that daily you have to clean them. Similarly, Sri Caitanya says that at this time sannyasa is not taken, and Srila Prabhupada says that it's now an emergency, however each Sanjasi as a spiritual leader, have their own priorities in the details of preach, and this causes confusion among which we're neophytes, what can we do to help unity in diversity, practically?

HpS - That is why we have Parampara. Each student learns the contemporary process and details and the general principles. Then s(he)it communicates the general truths and uses the general principles of how to adjust for current time, place and circumstance, to adjust to time, place and circumstance. In Mexico you preach in Spanish, not Swahili.

Srila Prabhpada explains the kind of Sannyasa we do in the verse purports describing Narada's sannyasa, and he shows it by his personal example!

And if there are not Tulasi, Rudraksa can be used to count the japa?

Thanks a lot for your mercy, I'm always very pleased and admired to know about your activities, they're a great example for me. Hare Krsna, your crew member AniruddhaKrishna Das.

HpS - Just a few more moments and we will be with Nimai in Nabadvipa. Srila Prabhupada will take us there.

Todas las gloria a Goura Nitay

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada

Querido Gurudev, En estas semanas he estado muy contenta, mis rondas han mejorado en todo los aspecto donde puedo ver que mi esfuerzo, determinación paciencia y entusiasmo son muy importantes como usted me dijo alguna vez cada día es una nueva oportunidad para mejorar, siempre estoy pensando en que mejorar hay aspectos más arraigados que otros donde requieren más estrategias para cambiarlo pero en eso estoy.

Mi sadhana muy bien, lectura diaria Con Lad y las devotas qué han aumentado. siempre con entusiasmo tratando que se sientan acogidas y resolviendo sus dudas, lectura especial en fiestas y recordando los Ekadasi. distribuyendo bolitas una vez la semana. Mi servicio con la deidades es muy especial siempre pensando como decorar diferente en casa fiesta, sus joyas como mejorar o hacer alguna creacion nueva, pensar junto a LAD qué hacer de prepararacion para que ellos coman,es un hermoso servicio.Estamos haciendo algunos arreglos en el templo de casa para que estén felices en su hogar, la última fiesta fue muy hermosa el señor Nrsimhadeva y Sita devi muy contentos.

Estuvimos en Cusco junto a los devotos y ese hermoso paisaje que krishna creó.

Estoy bien de salud, nadando dos veces a la semana, saludando a mis padres, hermanos cada día y video llamada una vez por semana, por último trabajando cuatro veces a la semana haciendo fisioterapia, y clases de natación.

Sin la inspiración de Srila Prabhupada y la suya esto no sería posible. Muchas gracias querido Gurudev. Se despide su humilde sirviente Raman Reti Devi Dasi

All glories to Guru Nitay.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Gurudev, I've been very happy these past few weeks. My rounds have improved in every way. I can see that my effort, determination, patience, and enthusiasm are very important.

As you once told me, every day is a new opportunity to improve. I'm always thinking about improving some aspects that are more deeply rooted than others, which require more strategies to change, but I'm working on it.

ASA - 🏅

Marvelous! This is an example of the life of a General!

My sadhana is going very well. I'm reading daily with Lad and the devotees, which has increased. I'm always enthusiastically trying to make them feel welcome and answering their questions.

I'm reading especially during festivals and remembering the Ekadasi events.

I'm distributing little sweet balls once a week.

My service to the deities is very special. I'm always thinking about how to decorate each celebration differently, how to improve their jewelry or make a new creation, and how to think with LAD about what to prepare for them to eat. It's a beautiful service.

We're making some arrangements at the temple at home so they're happy in their homes. The last celebration was very beautiful, and Lord Nrsimhadeva and Sita Devi were very happy.

We were in Cusco with the devotees and that beautiful landscape that Krishna created.

I'm in good health, swimming twice a week, greeting my parents and siblings every day, and video calling once a week. Finally, I'm working four times a week doing physical therapy and swimming classes.

Without Srila Prabhupada's inspiration and yours, this wouldn't be possible. Thank you very much, dear Gurudev. Your humble servant, Raman Reti Devi Dasi, says goodbye.

ASA - 😢

Krsna has been so kind to you! SP says that as we become more advanced we begin to live in this world as a replica of Vaikuntha.

Of course, one of the perfections of this world is that it is always imperfect so that we can never be perfectly satisfied here and always want to go back to help Radha and Krsna in Vrndavana.

How is the Catholic church in Chosika?

Where do you distribute Prasadam?

How is LaD's mother sister and her children et al?

What is happening in the first photo? Men stacking rocks?

Gaura and Nitai get half of the Bhoga Offering plate each? Seems nice. 🙂

🌹🙇🏻‍♀️🌷🎶 Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva. Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you remembered Gurumaharaja🙏🌷🌻🌹.

I wanted to tell you that I am really missing listening to you online, your classes, FMP. At the moment I am disconnected from cyberspace. Reflecting on many things. Please pray for me. Gopalito turned 13 on May 15th. Please I ask for your blessings for him.

ASA - Gopal's pictures are great!!!!! Best wishes for him finding his service in Sri Gauranga's traveling Sankirtan party.! .

I am extremely grateful to you for one of your last kapi Dvaja.. I felt completely inside of Him. I felt like he was speaking to me. I needed to hear those words so much. I never knew that holy names attract people.. etc. Thank you for always being with us. You are truly our life Gurudev. Please allow me to become more and more attached to Govinda. I have that laulyam lalasamayi... which is in the nectar of devotion... I have this very intense longing to regain my royal position... although I'm not there yet, and I intensely pray to the dust of your feet to fully recover my spiritual health.

Thank you for tolerating being my guru and letting us know that you are the representative of our best friend.

Regarding what you asked for in Anvesaka: I'm also not stable in my prasadam hours. I make an offering in the morning and at dusk. I would like to be stable, but apparently my body is very emotional, and that also affects it... sometimes, even though it's time, I don't want to eat anything, and sometimes I do. It also happens to me that sometimes I get home late, around 3 or 4 pm, and I always remember you: Don't eat grains after 4 pm... sometimes I have no choice. Always wanting to follow Your instructions to the letter,

I want to ask Your permission to start reading Srimad Bhagavatam from canto 3 to 10. For all these years I have read only canto 1 and 2. Also under Your protection I have started reading Caitanya Caritamrita before Mangalartik.

HpS - AgtSP. Yes, go ahead, but look for a reading partner(s) if you can!!

Here I'm sending you some photos that Gopal took when he was 4 years old after we returned from Peru... it's like he drew what he perceived from his trip❤

Always trying to please You: a girl who dreamed of being a mother..?! 😅 or a tree that wished to be a duck?!! 😅😂 Your eternal well-wisher:

J.P.Radha dd🎶💃❤💙❤

HpS/ASA - Thank you esteemed duck. hope our answers to other letters helps and hope you can read Texts here and in anVesaka.

We listen to Srila Prabhupada's dictation of KRSNA book at www.prabhupadavani.org.

Let us look at another Post!

Travel with us.

All glories to Sri Sri Gurú and Gauranga!

PAMHO AGTSP!

HK Maharaj How are you?? How’s been your health?

Well in reply to your last email, I think you forgot to recommend me some ISKCON friends to discuss topics related to digital marketing, entrepreneurship, and social media content creation. May you please help me out?

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. I don't really know anyone who could help except maybe his grace jagad guru das in chile.

he might have time for some personal comments and then direct you to more resources.

if you send me your whatsapp number i will not publish it but will send you his contact information by whatsa app. hare krsna...... hare krsna!!!

So I was asking that question related to communism because I have a devotee friend who proclaims himself to follow that doctrine.

So he says that considering that many devotees don’t follow some devotional principles or everything Prabhupada says, he has some right to follow the communist doctrine, even he theoretically understands Prabhupada is against it.

He states that material communism is the most similar thing to spiritual communism.

ASA - Just like iron is the most similar thing to gold??? or would it be more accurate to say that fresh supply of cows milk is the more similar to gold.

I’m trying to give him some piece of advice regarding this, what do you think might be a good one to give??

hps/asa - we can't know him well enough to give details, but noi 2 is nice. it links to isopanisad which is also nice!!! professors of economics like it.

thank you very much :),

hope you are always well,

Federico Molnár

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva

My respected Gurudeva, please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Jaya Gurudeva, thank you very much for FMP AGTSP!

HpS - AgtSP. NoI. ISKCON Bhakta vrnda.

Rounds, principles, they are simple but sometimes difficult. They require great effort, but there we go. Doing them, I feel greater enjoyment, conscious, in these latter times.

I am still here, in the material world; now I am a curious old woman.

hps - it is easy or difficult depending on KRSNA, no? it is not just physical challenge like the gymnasium, but moral and spiritual. very personal dialog with KRSNA through Srila Prabhupada.

Gurudeva, perhaps reaching a higher level of consciousness, has to do with a "quantum leap."

HpS - quantum leap means it cannot go in infintesimal, continous steps. it was a debate about the orbital states of electrons, no?

yet, our progress can be one syllable at a time... haw ... ray ... krs ... na! its eternal.

Krsna is unlimited and magnanimous; He is the Supreme.

Does this great number of expansions or cows have to do with the idea of quantum physics of the "possibilities of existence that a thing has"?

hps - I studied quantum physics at U. C. Berkeley with good scores, and our professor commented that many times people use the example of billard balls to explain the action of atoms and molecules, but personally he had never seen a billard ball and his own knowledge of billard balls was from his knowledge of atoms and molecules!

So, I don't know too much of the philosophical ideas imbedded in quantum physics, but I have seen that some of them are very deep ideas about ontology. Wave or Particle is very much like achintya bheda a bheda tattva.

Does spiritual power allow one to see all possibilities?

HpS - Well, we do not become Paramatma, but we have all the power we need to understand things for our service.

Purity gives us access to the Absolute Truth, things as they are. The key to the Absolute Truth today is the Maha Mantra, right?

HpS - At the current moment chanting the Names of God is the best yajna. Maybe the only one.

Allah.

Jehovah.

God.

Krsna.

Narayana.

!

Perhaps a comic could be made with this; and "enjoying life."

Thank you very much for your attention Gurudeva, your time and mercy.

Your disciple

Rohini dd

HpS - What do you mean about "enjoying life"?

Sometimes Krsna shows marvelous things to the Brijavasis. Mother Yasoda saw all the universe, pastpresentfuture, when She looked into Krsna's little mouth. She thought she was having a psychotic break down.

Many big physicists had very philosophical questions, realizations.

Go ahead!

Next life you may be a powerful Brahmana in Nabadvipa!!??
