Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

Gurudeva, even if I work in two universities and now teachers are overloaded with more work. I can say that I am doing quite well.

For instance, the university asked me to be a full time professor but I refuse. It is important to make a balance in life. So that, I can have time to other activities like cooking for Krsna and then with my sister we take prasadam. She is a vegetarian by force jajaja she does not how to cook so, she almost never eats meat. She has to buy it, and mostly she eats chicken not meat.

HpS - Tell her that I warned her that if she pays for people to kill chickens then in her next life she will be born as Colonel Sanders!

My deities at home are so gorgeoous it is very nice to take care of Them.

ASA - Designer clothes?

As I told you I was asked to give a speech about Anxiety. I did it. It was 70% successful. It is very sad to see how people in general think that you are crazy if you asked them to meditate to comtemplate,and when you tell them YOU ARE NOT YOUR JOB, breath, take a pause. SOme receive my message others just continue the way they are. Stressed, and their lives are job centered.

ASA - Donkeys smoking cigarettes.

My gem therapies are ok, I have a full set of gems of top -notch quality. I gave some therapies by distance with mantras and meditation and others in person.

I also go to therapy to my right knee. I have chondromalacia.

ASA - You must be very proud to have a disease with such a big, Latin name!

Nevertheless, I do not feel discouraged. I accept it and move on.

Regarding FMP leading kirtan SUNDAY is covered: Rohini kumar das, Parasurama das and Priyasakhi dd (from chile also) So we have two gentleman and 2 ladies. Let's see how it works. I have already explain how to do it as you requested me.

Ulyses is getting old but he is the strongest at home, he gets along pretty well with my cat "Peregrino"

Thanks Gurudeva

See you in FMP

Trying to be your disciple

CMDD

Asa - Thank you. Tom Brown devi donkey. Are there girls kung fu clubs near you?

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gournga Mahaprabhu

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Ki Jay

Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisanses unto Guruji's padmacharan that I could not write letters to Guruji Maharaja because all the time in the reply the wrote "[ This email address is used only for sending notification from HPS Blog, please don't send replies to this email address.] again they write " Please (!) send letters following the protocol at www.JayaRama.US/kd/lte.htm " in this address also I could not write due to technical reasons. Please send us the address for communication.

Recently I went and met Nanda Gopal Das in his house, he is willing to write something so I handed over the same address mentioned above but whether he could write or not I could not communicate. Later I will go and meet him again.

In the same Bolg, Dr. Sarda Devi also wrote Guruji some letters and same reply as myself.

Guruji Maharaja, once I heard that Guruji Maharaja is looking the International Cultural Exchange Programme (Ranganiketan). Are you working the same? In this regard one of my friend suggested to show the Gouralila in the shortest form in Manipuri by the Manipur child artist taught by Mrs. Sila Devi, Asst. Prof. of Dance in the Manipur University of Culture. I want to discuss with Dr. Sarda, she is also interested in such cultural activities.

I frequently met Prabhu Partha Sarthi Das in connection with the publication of the translated Bhagavat Gita As It Is in Manipuri (both Bangali and Manipuri) script. We have completed third time correction. In the mean time Prabhu Partha Sarthi Das is trying to compose a selected words, sentences of A.C. Prabhupada, the deep underlying meanings in the form of Guide Book. So as we can understand the central ideas of Prabhupada in the Gita. I will quote some of the contains in the next letter, because I am not in a position to remember those words and sentences exactly.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamuneswara Das

HpS-ASA - All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thank you for letter and news from Manipur.

We too are slow responding and have technical problems for head to floor.

Yet, we are all connected if we the mornings to chant not snore.

Our respects to Gita scholar,

Nanda gopal all.

Today is Kartika starting,

Now is red and yellow Fall.

Chant more rounds better.

We don't have any cultural exchange programa now, but we will keep you as a correspondent if we hear of such.

Come out of Manipur and preach.

Still reading SB??..?

Dear Gurudeva,

Pamho, AgtsSP!!!

Hope you are fine and in good health, I m [I'm] really greatfull [grateful] and in debt with [to] you, for allways [always] inspiring and accompany the fallen ones like me. I appreciate so much all the efforts that you do, the fmp, and your lectures, that sadly many times I can't get all of them, with 50% of attention and monkey jumping over me.

HpS - We feel inspired by you! Using so much creative intelligence for Sankirtan and to maintain your Ashrama. Courage, strength, determination. Hmmm? Maybe we are all getting mercy of Parampara in the biggest part?

Many times I fell like in the middle way in my spiritual path, with a feeling of apathy towards the world, a little mixed with melancholy and sadness, and at the same time searching for a real flavor in the Bhakti practice.

HpS - In NOD Rupa Goswami says this is normal.

The Vaidhi Sadhana is much mechanical,

HpS - People pay a LOT of money for machines in this world, no?

. . . but the necessary medicine I need for craziness…hankering for the real flavor, I fell [feel] like licking the bottle on the outside… how to take the step in purifying the felling, in starting to have a real flavor in spiritual life, in which personal relationship settles steadily, not from disappointment in the world but from a positive position in which there is a personal and loving relationship with Radha Krishna?

HpS - By trying to do the Vaidhi Bhakta more expertly, no? Same time looking for the causeless mercy that Krsna sends and grabbing it.

Even a small percentage of sincerity (me) on this path has lasting results! After so many stupid, lazy, selfish years, by the unlimited patience of Srila Prabhupada, I am advancing in detachment from this material world and attachment to the spiritual world (or else I am becoming senile and prone to sentimental hallucinations).

Gurudeva, many changes this times, a strange year, but nice in the inner place… We are at this time taking a big decision in moving to live in the mountains, very nice place, quite far away, there some devotees, friends, inviting us, a project in progress, much ideas, big chance...

HpS - 1. Who are you? What is your position, nature in the situation 2. Who are we? Family, invitees. Their nature, motives. 3. Plan based upon the kind of person I am, we are... 4. Parafernalia eg. land house horse hose hat heat. O.K.?

In all these times change my work more to the online and is good, slowly developing these, by courses, consultations with Ayurveda counseling and therapy, and also starting reading charts with vedic astrology, Maxi Peralta invited me for next month to talk about vedic astrology in a online meeting of symbolic languages, with the Jungian people…

HpS - Super. We are waiting for the final version of the next Solaris and then we can all send it to Maxi, Sonu Shyamdasani, Bernardo!!! We are looking for a Jungian who knows their side of the river and wants to build a bridge to Rupa Goswami's side.

 Your insignificant servant,

 Madhavendra Puri Das

HpS - Thank you? How is your family?

Nice fotos! Big beets! Scary little girl devil...... Here is link to Co-vis mask with smile!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to HH Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj!! Please accept our humble obeisances at Your lotus feet.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

We pray that this letter finds you in the most blissful state.

HpS - I also pray the same for me and you!

We have installed Sri Hanumanji outside the temple complex of Sri Radha Damodara Mandir, Toubul. Resting coolly under the shades of the banyan tree, our Hanuman gives us a glorious darshan. The local devotees tell us that under this banyan tree HH Bhakti Svarup Damodara Swami used to sit and rest. We will be celebrating Tirubhav on 26th....

HpS - That is Tin goswami Samadhi, no? Now it is char goswami samadhi. I was there in Radha kunda when the celebration happened. Very happy, very sad. Even now, today is 26th.

Last tuesday on Parama Ekadashi our uncle left his physical body. HG Ramanuja Prabhuji and HG Jai Bhima Prabhuji chanted Gopala sahasranama, Gajendra Moksha and BG chapter 8 day before Ekadasi. He was still conscious that time. Aunt chanted Harinaam till the last few moments before he left. On the day he left ,we kept on his lips charan tulsi offered at the lotus feet of Sri Govindaji, read BG chapter 8 and Sri Gopala sahasranama. He made a loud sound before he left. My aunt is bewildered by the sound coming from his mouth. She wants to know what that meant.

HpS - Good question. Maybe just the sound of the prana leaving the body through the lips. Is very exalted way to leave!

We have been selected to be a member of the Sri Govindajee Temple board. Guru Maharaj can we serve Sri Govindajee by being a member of the board? We were taken by surprise by the turn of these events.

HpS - As far as we know it is fine. Just be happy. Lao Tzu gives us advice that can be taken as: The Emperor should control the function of the empire the same way a beggar would cook his one chapati.

Continuing to read Krsna book with father. He enjoys the pastimes so much. We usually read after the SB. Father keeps referring to Krsna as Butter thief.....keeps telling....lets read that Butter Thief's leela....

HH Bhakti Vyasa Tirtha Swami Maharaj is not in the best of physical health. All of 94 years, chanting ardently all the time. We will miss Maharaj a lot ...last time when we went for getting darshan of Maharaj, HH laughed at us and said...' Mataji..be like Chitrangada.....'

Guru Maharaj...merciful dear Gurudev...we seek your mercy to chant our rounds blissfully ....more and more. Thank you so much for changing our lives.

Your insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Thank you for all the wonderful news. We hope the Samadhi ceremony is more and more glorious. We will have one in our community also.

Maharaj, you asked me to summarize my marriage for the benefit of those who may be going through similar situations. My heart and prayers go out to them.

[Edited by ASA Board of Editors]

Here are points I'm grateful for in my husband:

1) He orders good quality stuff for the house, cheap and best

2) He is an adventurous and mostly jolly person otherwise

3) He likes new things and places

4) He doesn't use me for his physical needs

5) He loves to eat good food and I like to cook

6) He likes to experience happy new moments

7) He likes the best of everything and tries to arrange for it

8) At least he follows 4 principles, and chants 16rnds and somewhat follows a siksha guru. Difficult to find even this standard these days.

Here are the problems I see in character of my husband:

1) After three years, no kids. Too much "virtual romantic-reality games".

2) Difficult for him to stick with one women, job or place. He feels he is missing out on happiness, adrenaline rush, available in other places. Feels burdened by marriage, requesting divorce, feeling like can no longer cope with the marriage or act in a way to inspire respect from spouse.

3) He has issues talking about anything deep, or dealing with negative emotions or communicating about them. Immediately wants to leave. So, not much of substance can be sorted and as it builds up inside him it comes out through intense scary physical violence

4) Can't follow schedule or rules because he needs complete freedom. Wakes up around 10/11am, goes to sleep very late in the night wanting to be alone to do gaming and romantic website. My marriage to him was arranged by all of my superiors and KC mentors to give me spiritual partnership.

5) He doesn't like to include me in any decisions he wants to make, where we will live, children, his life goal: To give his parents a currently unaffordable house in a very high, class posh locality because that is their dream.

7) He tells me every other female is better than me: My cousins, my friends, his female co-workers, sister, mother are all better than me.

Maharaj, I was seeking your guidance on what to do now at this point. Not for my sake, but for the sake of SP.

I am ready to do anything I can to save this marriage despite all the problems. Your mercy is our sustainence. Thank you so much. As you requested for this summary, I am from my heart sharing it here. If reading my life story can benefit anyone struggling in their own life, i am grateful for the opportunity to serve. I request blessings from all the Vaishnavas 🙏.

Your aspiring servant,

Yajnaseni DD

HpS - ASA ---- Too many points to address in one letter. First thing is quote from Chanakya Pandita: Victory comes from good advice, and good advice comes from many counselors.

You say that all of your superiors and KC mentors arranges the marriage. Well..... we didn't arrange it.... no sir! 😳 If we had arranged it we would have suggested second initiation for both parties first, I, all the superiors and KC mentors, discuss the situation together before coming to a recommendation.

So. . . Emergency First Aide: Chant Hare Krsna and be happy. Draupadi tried to save herself by so many methods, appealing to all of her superiors and KC mentors, but they just turned away. She tried to use her personal strength.... Then in the most fortunate situation in the world, completely helpless she said,

He, Govinda !

and Govinda helper her (Like new saris)!

It takes a lot to make a grown man cry, but sometimes the emotional, social, pain, harassment in ISKCON in situations arranged by all of my superiors and KC mentors has been so bad (and others agreed it was) that we have just literally thrown our hands in the air and surrendered to Krsna.

He, Govinda !

What did Govinda do? He put us on our feet, took us out the door, walked us around the corner, down the street and sat us down on the steps leading up to someone's house. Was in the city, and we just kept on Chantng.... Chanting... Chanting.... and little by little, maybe 15-20 minutes, our mind and intelligence worked through the situation, and we came to a very clear understanding of what was wrong with the situation, and how to deal with it.

Krsna did not give Arjuna a super weapon. He gave him clear intelligence. We already have more power than all the Indras in all the material universes combines. Is that enough for you?!

It is just being covered by our own stupid conditioning.

The Japa got us on our feet again, took us back around the corner through the Saturday traffic and right into the office to confront "The evil one". There were arguments from some of my superiors and KC mentors, and even The Evil One Himself, but our intelligence was clear and we faced all of them. We had to leave on congenial terms, that project.

We were surprised that TEO submitted more easily than we expected, but we later learned that the Temple PResident who had be present during our crucifiction, commented when we went out with tears welling in our eyes to TEO, "If you don't stop harrassing Hanuman Swami like this I'm going to shove you through the window!" Was a second story window!.

So, I am suggesting.... Take shelter constantly of the Holy Name from sastric evidence, Guru vakya, and many personal experiences.

I have always really loved TEO, and its is learning these adjustments that have made that more and more possible.

Did Suniti take Uttanapada back to Godhead?

Now... let us see if even more formal and improvised focus on the Holy Names solves 75% of the problems.

Then as there are remaining issues, let us deal with them one at a time, rather than as great carton of  Lernaean Hydra.

Sankirtan!

Hare Krhna dear Gurudev

Please accept my respectful reverences at your beautiful and lovely feet, like lotus feet!

HpS - Right foot had arthritis, but gone now. Toes kind of mishapened. AGTSP. Paoho.

I am sending here some photos as requested by you. The first four are made by Gopalito using playdough.

HpS/TB-BW/UG - Super!

You can see a farm made by him as well as a small pot also from playdough where he on his own planted a mint plant and offered it to the altar saying that it is tulasi. The last photo shows Franco who says that his art is to work in the house on which he is fully engaged.

Radha japa prati jalpa devi dasi

Kindly accept also reverences from Franco and Gopalito.

ASA - !!!!! It is wood house near the public park?
