All Glories to Sri Guru Paramparah, A.C.Praphupada ki Jay!

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

H. H. HpS Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s Padama Charan that I am so happy to get Guruji Maharaja's reply so soon, and it is the same address written not to write in this blog.


HpS - AGTSP!!! Thank you. I don't understand "it is the same address written not to write in this blog". Is the answer going to a bad address? The whole world wants to hear about Manipur.


In my last letter I attached the Murties I worship daily, please comment. Please prefix 91 in the mobile no. 8787511206 to use watch up [whatsapp].


HpS - We just sent you a message from our fallen planet!


I am reading Bhagavatam 11.21.6.

“ The words nama-rupani-visamani refer to the system of varnasrama dharma, in which members of human society are designated according to four social occupational divisions. Those dedicated to intellectual or religious perfection are called brahmanas, those dedicated to political perfection are called Ksatriya, those dedicated to financial perfection are called vaisyas and those dedicated to eating, sleeping, sex and honest work is called sudras.”


Because the sun is the sources of heat within this world, (we use the sun is the sources of all energies) an object that approaches the sun becomes hotter and hotter until it merges into fire. In the same manner, as we approached the transcendental nature of the Personality of Godhead, we automatically become surcharge with absolute goodness.

11.21.10.

“The word samskarana also indicates that the purity or impurity of a particular object is ascertained according to the regulations of ritualistic performs. For example, a flower to be offered to the Daity must be purified with waterBut we heard and practice to purify the flower to be offered to the Daity by mantra “ Om puspe, puspe ……….. hung fut svaha [aum phat svaha?]” Please explain this example.


HpS - Just seems like two kinds of purification: One by gross elements, wash the flower with clean wather, and two purify it by words that touch the heart of Krsna?


Sometimes please ask spiritual related questions, so as to remember, whatever we discussed or read in previous or in future.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamuneswara Das


HpS - Who is Krsna speaking to in this chapter? For how many verses, chapters, does Krsna speak to him? What has Krsna discussed to far with him?

If we are like fire, a single match, then there is no limit to how big a fire we can ignite by our own simple efforts.

El año de las voces de las madres

4 years, 9 months ago by YugalaKD in Personal Sadhana Reports

Querido Gurudeva, me alegra saber que piensa venir el próximo año, ojala fuera a Chosica. La vez pasada le preguntaba acerca de cómo son los pasos de la danza rasa, pensaba que los bailarines de Manipur se asemejan, me gustaría aprender.

Continuamos en el servicio de pujari, podemos seguir si seguimos siendo estrictos en la dieta, recuperando salud, esperando que todo se normalice para incorporarme a otras actividades. estoy enseñando a vestir a las deidades.

También me quede muy impresionada con las voces de las madres, muchas cartas, todo sea para mejorar, me parece que para el movimiento es el año de las madres, me alegra conocer a muchas hermanas y devotas, le agradezco por su esfuerzo por inspirar a las madres a predicar.

Este año ha sido de muchas revelaciones, quienes son veraces, quienes no lo son, tengo nuevas amistades, personas que buscan progresar espiritualmente y son amantes del servicio.

En Perú ya se puede ir a lglesias, el templo se está rezagando a falta de trámites. El pánico paraliza, los países vecinos abren, la soledad puede volverse lo habitual, es mejor interactuar unas horas con gente nueva, diferente y luego regresar al claustro. Me siento muy a gusto en mi estado célibe, por el momento seguiré con mi humor femenino, si ser monja es vestir sin gracia, entonces solo soy célibe, un peregrino, un misionero, más adelante podemos ser mas renunciados, por el momento mejor ser natural.

Se inició la maratón de Diciembre, para mi será maratón de lectura, deseo darle ahora tiempo especial a la lectura y por supuesto dejare unos días para realizar ese hermoso servicio, unas horas, por Prabhupada. Aun no se mis actividades del próximo año, espero mejoren las cosas para continuar con mis planes antes de pandemia.

Hubieron muchos programas on line, le mando algunos darsan de las deidades,

Sus bendiciones para cantar mas atentamente, por enfermedad, tuve dificultades para cantar, concentrarme, ya estoy mejor graciasa la lectura.

Muchas gracias por su paciencia y sus bendicones mucha ayuda, siento cada dia la presencia de Krsna, en mi vida, sus bendiciones para cultivar buenas cualidades, y asi mejorar mi servicio.

Su hija que lo adora:

Yugala Kishora Dasi.

Dear Gurudeva, I am glad to know that you plan to come next year, I wish it were Chosica. Last time I asked you about what the steps in the rasa dance are like, you thought that Manipur dancers are like them, I would like to learn.


HpS - Maybe have to take birth in Manipur. Krsna can arrange many things!


We continue in the pujari service, we can continue if we continue to be strict in our diet, recovering health, waiting for everything to normalize to join other activities. I am teaching how to dress the deities.


I was also very impressed with the voices of the mothers, many letters, everything is to improve, it seems to me that for the movement it is the year of mothers, I am happy to meet many sisters and devotees, I thank you for your effort to inspire mothers to preach.


HpS - Visnupriya was just as great a Sannyasi as Lord Caitanya, no? She had to express it differently.


This year has been one of many revelations, who is true, who is not, I have new friends, people who seek to progress spiritually and are lovers of service.


In Peru you can already go to churches, the temple is lagging behind for lack of paperwork. Panic paralyzes, neighboring countries open, loneliness can become the norm, it is better to interact for a few hours with new and different people and then return to the cloister. I feel very comfortable in my celibate state, for the moment I will continue with my feminine humor, if being a nun is dressing without grace, then I am only celibate, a pilgrim, a missionary, later on we can be more renounced, for the moment better to be natural.


HpS - When you die you can have a tomb with your statue in marble with nice robes: The little lady of our Great Lady of Cosica. 😎


The December marathon began, for me it will be a reading marathon, I want to give special time to reading now and of course I will leave a few days to perform that beautiful service, a few hours, for Prabhupada. I still do not know my activities for next year, I hope things improve to continue with my plans before the pandemic.


HpS - Let us plan to chant Hare Krsna, this breath! ! ! !


There were many online programs, I sent you some Darsan of the deities.


HpS - Thank you!!


Your blessings to sing more attentively, due to illness, I had difficulty singing, concentrating, I am already better thanks to reading.


Thank you very much for your patience and your blessings, a lot of help, every day I feel the presence of Krsna, in my life, Her blessings to cultivate good qualities, and thus improve my service.


His daughter who adores him:

Yugala Kishora Dasi.


HpS - ASA -- Some one told me recently, Yugala-kishora Dasi is very special lady. She is always smiling! Always! [Of course, some ladies can be very, very evil when they smile. Ha!! Ha! Ha! (Be careful of them!)]. Thank you so much for your service. Improve.

Los tropiezos en la vida del devoto

4 years, 9 months ago by Asta Sakhi Devi Dasi in Personal Sadhana Reports


Hare Krsna querido Gurumaharaja

Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada! 


A menudo el Señor Supremo me mantiene ocupada y no puedo expresar algunas cosas personales, es un arreglo del Señor ya que es mejor ser empática con otros y no profundizar en mi ego, sin embargo conozco una situación que me da una profunda tristeza, esto hace que vea mi sentir en esa experiencia. 


Él es alguien muy cualificado, Krsna le bendijo con una memoria privilegiada al servicio de los demás, siempre nos dijo que esto era porque Usted le dió esa bendición, pero ¿quién puede ser perfecto? Tampoco él lo era, así que detalles de carácter causaron que muchos se olvidarán de su rendición y servicio prestado, un día le pidieron que se vaya con amenazas de golpearlo sino lo hacía, él estuvo buscando ayuda pero no la encontró, estaba en ansiedad y triste, al poco tiempo se fue y su ausencia nos entristece. De esta historia real me surgen muchas preguntas. 


¿Nos corresponde tomar el destino de otros en nuestras manos pensando que tenemos el don de saber la verdad que hay en su corazón? 

Escuché que Srila Bhaktisiddhanta dijo: no trates de descubrir la verdad a través del ejercicio de tu imaginación... muchas veces la imaginación es demasiado grande. 


¿Es necesario usar la violencia a tal grado para hacer correcciones?

La violencia a veces es física pero también hay violencia psicológica y moral como resultado de las críticas y difusión esmerada por empañar la moral de otra persona ante los demás, generando vergüenza y deseos de alejarse. 


Nos gusta hacer leña del árbol caído sin imaginar que "ese árbol" también tiene sentimientos y no sabemos a dónde le puede llevar su tristeza, pero si alguien se mantiene en su devoción se puede decir que es caído ?

Incluso si es caída accidental en el SB . 11.20.36 dice que el Señor disculpa rápidamente una caída accidental y no premeditada, y todos los miembros de la sociedad deben compartir los propios sentimientos del Señor excusando a un devoto sincero. 

También en el BG se dice que no debemos ridiculizar ni burlarnos de estos tropiezos ya que estás manchas son tan insignificantes como la huella de un conejo que no obstaculiza la luz que irradia la gran luna, los devotos son como la luna. 


Por favor bendiganos con su iluminación que es más refrescante que millones de lunas juntas. 

Usted es el capitán del barco de nuestra vida, nos hacemos viejos, el tiempo va pasando y no aprendimos a navegar de otra forma. 

Disculpe por favor nuestras estupideces. 


Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

Asta Sakhi dd.

Hare Krsna, dear Gurumaharaja


Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!


Often the Supreme Lord keeps me busy and I cannot express some personal things, it is an arrangement of the Lord since it is better to be empathetic with others and not deepen my ego, however I know a situation that gives me deep sadness, this makes me see my feelings in that experience.


He is someone very qualified, Krsna blessed him with a privileged memory in the service of others, He always told us that this was because You gave him that blessing, but who can be perfect? Neither was he, so details of character caused many to forget his surrender and service rendered, one day they asked him to leave with threats to beat him if he did not, he was looking for help but could not find it, he was in anxiety and sad, soon he left and his absence saddens us. Many questions arise from this true story.


Is it up to us to take the destiny of others in our hands, thinking that we have the gift of knowing the truth that is in their hearts?


I heard that Srila Bhaktisiddhanta said: don't try to discover the truth through the exercise of your imagination ... many times the imagination is too big.


Is it necessary to use violence to such a degree to make corrections?


The violence is sometimes physical but there is also psychological and moral violence as a result of criticism and careful dissemination to tarnish the morale of another person before others, generating shame and desire to get away.


We like to make firewood from the fallen tree without imagining that "that tree" also has feelings and we do not know where his sadness can lead him, but if someone remains in his devotion, can he say that he is fallen?


Even if it is accidental fall in the SB. 11.20.36 says that the Lord quickly excuses an accidental and unintended fall, and all members of society should share the Lord's own feelings by excusing a sincere devotee.


Also in the BG it is said that we should not ridicule or make fun of these stumbles since these spots are as insignificant as the mark of a rabbit that does not obstruct the light that radiates from the great moon, the devotees are like the moon.


Please bless us with your enlightenment that is more refreshing than millions of moons put together.


You are the captain of the ship of our life, we get old, time goes by and we did not learn to navigate in any other way.


Please excuse our stupidity.


Your eternal would-be servant

HpS - ASA -- Thank you for your letter. If we first look for an answer in Srila Prabhupada's book, where he is living at this very moment, it seems that there are many that might match this story as you describe it. For a doctor to give specific treatment he has to know specific details of the situation and then adjust the cure as the patient reacts.


For example, if we look at one of the first stories in the Bhagavatam that might match your situation, then we come to the story of Asvatthama.

How does that match the situation you are describing?


Asvatthama was a very, very respectable person, qualified son of a great Acharya. Then he made a mistake, but there was also great justification for what he did.

Some wanted corporeal punishment, some didn't. Srila Prabhupada gives explanations. He talks about the natural feminine tendency when judging such things.


Does this story help?


Is your criminal/victim like Asvatthama?

Thank you!

URGENT!!!!!....Pandaveya Spain.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva!

Agt SP!

Agt Guru and Gauranga!!!

How are you doing? I hope very well.


HpS - AGTSP!!! paoho.... Hey, that is not an urgent question!! 🙂


Today I am writing to you ahead of time because today I am very clear about what I have to talk to you about. It is a controversial topic, and very very rare. Dangerous maybe too.


ASA - 😮


Yesterday, after months of doing a medical health follow-up, some former colleagues from the hospital where I studied have confirmed that someone in my house is poisoning me. I am not surprised, since once I had to leave my parents' house because I suspected the same thing, but this time, the health workers have told me that I have two options, poisoning or a miracle, proven.


After three times I entered a series of diseases or symptoms that did not disappear with anything, but if I started to cook myself, or just drink milk from a freshly opened bottle and never leave it until I drank it all, then, suddenly, all my symptoms disappeared. In less than a day even, or in 1 or 2 days.


They have found toxic traces in my blood, which can only be from poisoning, so this is my current situation. Incredible but true.


HpS-ASA - 😟 What could be the motive???


I have spoken with some old police friends and they have told me that I only have two options: I solve it my way and that nobody knows, or I have to let myself be poisoned again, and run to do a quick analysis to be able to file criminal charges against my parents and brother, because all three are involved.

I've caught my mother throwing things into my food, and my father too. I have not been able to catch my brother yet, but he makes jokes about the matter, so he knows and is a sure participant.


My police friends have told me that these things are almost impossible to catch in time with evidence, unless I get poisoned again, for the 4th time this time, but the truth is that I have already been through this many times, so now I am drinking only milk for days to nullify the poison and feed myself, and at most a couple of potatoes cooked at night, because I have been told that if I only drink that freshly opened milk, and only eat freshly cooked whole potatoes, it is almost there is no way they can put poison in my food. Now, after 3 days, I'm like I'm 20 years younger.


I tell you all this, because I think that it can help a lot to other people, who are being manipulated to make them look crazy, when in reality, it is very easy for them to be involved in a conspiracy against them, especially if they are not from the satanic energy vampire groups who are trying to create a new world order based on the exploitation of people and the brain death of children to be possessed and controlled by demons.


I have been fighting these people since I was 20 years old, and for 22 years I have been fighting without stopping, and on many many occasions, literally fighting for my life.


Many years ago I promised myself that I would either die at the hands of these people, or I would destroy them all. Thanks to Lord Nrsimhadeva, I have been fighting these demons for 22 years, and I have not yet fallen.


ASA - Have your formed partnership with others in this endeavor?? ? That seems very important, otherwise the very forces we are trying to fight can make their purposes seem like our own. For example, if we consider Osama Ben Laden killed so many unarmed men, women and children in the name of Allah, then we might consider that the Satanic forces had tricked him into doing their work, thinking that it was Allah's work.

So, important to keep Sadhu sanga in these things. Sadhu sanga, scriptural basis and the example of the great Acharys.


My ex-wife uses these satanic energy vampire techniques, and my son, because of my ex, I think he's already lost too.


My parents and brothers also belong to this group of satanic energy vampires, but since I am not, and also they cannot with me ... they have tried everything, black masses, possessions, poison, madness, etc. But my promise to Nrsimhadeva, for some reason, was fulfilled, and I am still in the gap, like a good soldier of God that I am.


There is a subtle, yogic technique that appears to be very effective against these people and their subtle entities. When I use it, they can hardly alter my energies at all, and apparently they hate it.


The technique is... (ASA - Edited because this is a public audience and the technique involves things related to the lower, though within the bounds of the 4-principles, Chakras.)


I use this simple technique when I want not to allows the demons to bother me.

Perhaps, in other people it does not work the same, since I have been doing yoga for years, and maybe my conscious body is in another kind of body, and it is posible that dont work the same ... but I doubt it, really.


People don't believe in these things, but then they are all day doing satanic energy movement techniques, which leads to their ruin, as it is satan's trick for people to turn into two-legged animals. Action Reaction.


It is true that people who defend themselves use similar techniques, and they are not as bad, but they have to be seriously corrected so that they do not lose their future, since the fact of entering that kind of fight is already a victory for the Devil, because those techniques destroy the soul. For this reason, I do not respect anyone who uses these techniques, whether they help me or not, because it is like badly educating them.


HpS - ASA -- That is what I was saying! If we are careful to offer unopened packages, containers, and uncut vegetables to Krsna then automatically it precludes the possibility of poison. Of course, Prahlada is very good example in of people in the house trying to kill, him, but of course we are not Prahlada and so we must adopt means according to our nature.


I don´t understand why people not fight fisically this people, is very easy. Try to control your energíes, in karma laws, is the same that cut you with a knife. Is not bad think kill this people. God see that good. Karma also, it is only auto-defense.


HpS - We can consider that in Vrndavana only Krsna and Balarama kill demons. The devotees chant Hare Krsna! Hare Rama! and take shelter of Rama-Krsna. Of course, Krsna empowered Arjuna to do His work for Him, but that was ONLY after Arjuna understand BG perfectly and Krsna was directly present as his chariot driver. I am now remembering that Srila Prabhupada said just that, that we can kill demons for Krsna if Krsna is personally driving our chariot and telling us who to fight with and who to forgive.


I do not usually give importance to the . . . .. [ASA - Have to jump ahead because this is not directly applicable to our fighting style...😇] . . .



Forgive me from the heart Gurudeva for all this stuff, but I think that many people will be able to benefit from these things, or at least know, that there are others in the same situation, and that there are people like me, who even physically fight against these people, so don't worry, it's only a matter of time before they're sent to hell, and Hades told me in person on a trip I took to hell so I could see exactly what it was like.


It was incredible ... I tell you in another letter.


Finally, I want to say, that I am almost sure, that the Covid is a tool that these Satanists use just as Satanists do with their elders, relatives, etc. So that they die or become their slaves for fear of being killed. Satanists are trying to kill humans, because they are not, they are unhappy and unfortunate creatures that the only thing they know how to do is hate. Do not trust yourselves, since it can be a brother, father, neighbor, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc. Be alert and on guard. They know they have little time left here, and they want to take away as many souls as possible.


At Your feet. Your disciple.

Hare Krsna Maharaja.


P.D: The Dakinis I see are like that, I don´t know exactly why, is possible for the Tamo-Guna. So much beauty, power and aggressiveness together that they give fear and pride. They are not of this world...sure...hahaha


HpS - Thank you for this letter. There is no way on earth that I can make too much of a comment on these topics. Like you say this is not the process for everyone. Real demons attacked Krsna and the Vraja vasis. In general devotees, are protected from these people, but I do hear of others who describe things like you. So have to fight in the newspapers. Some in the higher planets, some.... but read SB 1.8, Bhisma's instructions to Yuddhisthira about Y's use of force to serve Krsna. What justification does Bhisma give?

Hare Krsna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you Guru dev


Here we are, still alive. Now more than ever it is a relief to know that Krsna says that any progress one makes on the path of bhakti is not lost.


I am a bit shocked at how the world has changed in a short time due to the pandemic (the social situation). I realize that for me the Kali Yuga advance existed as an idea. I also realized that I still have "faith" in the material world as a refuge ... I see things differently now, although sometimes it is a bit depressing.

HpS - Only depressing if you don't accept that you and Radharani (Hara! Hare!) are not going to let Krsna's birth day party stop. O.K. Radha, I have an idea for the menu. Is it good?


Reading prayers of Queen Kunti attentively helped me a lot. Thank you and the devotees who invite me to give a lectures about this topic.


HpS - Thank you!


Hari Vamsi is very well. As you mentioned in the previous letter: Yes, helping him teaches me to understand my mind. For me, the experience of motherhood is an opportunity to improve my character, develop humility and patience very fast… Although many times I feel that lack of tools to help him.

He is going to a Montessori kinder garden, he is happy and now he asks us to teach letters because he wants to read and write. His curiosity is intense, and so is his energy.

He likes Kirtan, he is enthusiastic about offering a wick to Damodar (maybe 50% attraction to fire- 50% bhakti). He likes to listen Krsna's pastimes and he has quite a few questions about demons and details. He is also have atraction for the Monster Trucks, dinosaurs, speed and power.


HpS - He can fly on Garuda some times.


I have improved the rounds, but I still cannot go back to the standard of 16. Many times I feel helpless in the face of laziness, poor time management and lack of focus ...


HpS - Srila Prabhupada says in one letter, that that is O.K. but don't stop trying, and, yes, eventually you will succeed. Then .... next challenge!


About my work, I am working as a freelance for clients in the USA, retouching and cleaning their photographs.


Also in our house and in the garden. Some days ago four cows and two calves came to our garden and ate some things, but most of them survived (They left some compost in return). Hari helps me and already recognizes the plants, insects and removes the leaves that have fungi.


HpS - Wow! Should have collected some of their milk as a tax also.


You also asked me about my father, Ekachacra Nitai Candra das. He is very well, he attends the FMP every day and he is happy with it. He and two of my brothers live in the north of Argentina. I hope we can meet this summer.


HpS - Ahhhh! That is Ek Ch. Nitai! I was thinking it was maybe our disciple from Peru!! Big administrative progress today.


About ASA Audivisual. We download almost all the Twitter links that you posted, some are lost because our internet service is sometimes suspended and the links are only available for a few days. But we can recover those recordings from the recordings that devotees broadcast on Facebook.


I'm really happy with the service, but unhappy with me because I perform the service with interruptions. I really hope I can improve and be of useful to your Sankirtan. 


HpS - See! This is exactly what we heard from conversation with Prabhupada. As our 16/4 is steady, then our other services are just as steady. So, put effort into the better rounds because (also telling myself this) then being:

  1. Mother
  2. Wife
  3. Citizen
  4. Cook
  5. Gardener
  6. Photo artist
  7. Channel Manager
  8. Sankirtan Devotee

will all improve in the fastest and most efficient way.



I think of the channel (asa audiovisual) as a library of your classes, to keep them in an orderly manner and to be able to share with whoever is interested. We have invited more devotees to the work in a team, to translate, upload or edit more classes. Still no one joined, probably due to our faults.


HpS - Hector et al say. Ask six times and then you will get practical results.


We are working on the missing classes and the illustrated FMP. Time management is the challenge.

Please let me know what we can improve and how to be really useful.


Thank you very much Gurudev for your inspiration and constant care. Your effort in maintaining the FMP, classes, and programs. Your loving way of always finding a way to engage us in service.


your aspirant to servant

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja

4 years, 9 months ago by sugopiradha in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 


I wanted to write to you about my Sadhana.

I have been able to follow the goals I set in the last letter (waking up at 4 AM 6 days a week, joining FMP, finishing my rounds thereafter, attending SB class,

listening to a lecture in the evening,

reading at least a few sentences of Srila Prabhupada's books,

and making one quote to share on Whatsapp every day) about 75% of the time.


As far as listening to two lectures a day, reading Srila Prabhupada's books, and making quotes, I have been quite consistent and missed very few days. However, some weeks, I woke up at 4 AM only for 4 or 5 days. I also bathe my Gaura Nitai and dress them every day unless I am extremely busy with school and do not have time in the morning (my mother dresses them on those days). 


HpS - Jaya! How many different dressed do they have?


I see positive transformations in my life after attempting to improve my Sadhana. I feel more peaceful and focused than I used to before. Likewise, on the days I do not try sincerely, I have experienced lax Sadhana's consequences. I pray for your mercy Gurudeva, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for tolerating my dull-headedness and allowing me to stay around in ASA despite my innumerable faults.


I beg for your blessings that I improve in my Sadhana, and that by the next time I report, I can document a higher percentage in my letter. I regularly read your writings about crawling to Mangala Arati and resisting sleep for Japa in hopes that I can implement them.


With immense gratitude and appreciation for your causeless mercy and austerity,

your insignificant servant,

Sugopi Radha devi dasi


HpS/ASA - We are like a bunch of pieces of wood in the fire place the more we burn the more we inspire those arounds us. Personally I am very inspired by your efforts. We are also making progress. Sometimes we want to engage in eating "pizza and pasta" at 10.30 at night, but it is not available. We have put it out of reach and now the desire is less so we can restrain ourselves. At first it is an effort then it becomes just our habitual nature.
