Feliz Guru Purnima Guru Deva!!!!

Jaya Sanatana Goswami!!!!

Jay Bhakti Charu Swami!!!

Jay Sri Sri Radha Syamasundara!!!!

I hope He is laughing right now with his Guru Deva, Srila Prabhupada.

ASA - Or maybe crying in relief to meet again.

I hope that You find yourself the best, Guru deva, in all aspects.

HpS - Only death is good. Then real life can start, unless we use the things in this world to preach ie. lead people to die.

I have been very saddened by the departure of Bhakti Charu Swami, I had his indirect association on a few occasions in Spain and India, and much for his classes. It has been one of my references to advance within Krsna consciousness. There are people with a sweetness in their personality that surprise me a lot, a little like milk is surprised by oil.

I have no doubt that he is with Krsna, Prabhupada and all the rock. I am almost certain that in a little while he will return to care for the devotees, and preach.

I would like to tell you about an experience that I have had in relation to the departure of Maharaja, I am sure it is because I know that he was very critical for days, but even so I really liked the experience.

Perhaps, by singing a few rounds for Him, and the austerity of a full fast in ekadasi honored for His pleasure, perhaps, my subconscious was very sensitive to His person.

The day he left, like an hour or two before I knew anything about his death, I think I was singing a few rounds, I think the mid-day rounds, I could see him in my heart and in my mind, in the rounds, and I greeting and said goodbye to him. Tears came out of my eyes remembering with him good moments in Malaga and Mayapur, he was also very excited and surprised, I imagine that because of the affection I felt for him. I guess he didn't expect it ... When we said goodbye, I gave him dandavats and pranamas, and when I touched his feet and put dust on my head from the path of his feet, I started to jump like a monkey and I ran in the opposite direction, chanting Hare Krsna. I think he was very surprised to see a devotee go into mental ecstasy thinking about the dust on his lotus feet.

A few hours later I saw that he had passed away, and I wondered if he was saying hello to everyone on his farewell journey.

HpS - When the sun rises it smiles on everyone!

I hope he is very happy in his future service. It makes me a little envious, good, to think how he is enjoying the fruits of his intense devotional service to his Gurudeva, Prabhupada, and Radha Krsna.

He is a person who makes my heart softer and softer.

I hope you have a very good day, especially this auspicious day of the Guru.

My humblest obeisances Guru deva.

Accept my humblest respects and surrender.

I hope you have a very intense day with your Guru deva, Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna.

HpS - More in the foreground we can try to learn more and more of his practical projects as they relate to us and how we can push them with our personal abilities. Of course, this is development of eternal relationships in the Traveling Road Show. AGTSP! Paoho.

Hare Krishna. Gurudeva.

Please accept my humble obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

With a lot of happiness, I write you after a long time. I hope you are in good health and with the protection of Lord Nrisimhadeva.

After the return of Mataji Rukmini dd from USA, we had stayed together in quarantine. That was a great opportunity to share realizations and experiences of life. Also, we had the opportunity to make a bio-garden at home. Mataji Rukmini grew texan zucchinis, tomatoes, red peppers, lentils, beans and potatoes.

With mataji Gauri and Devahuti's help, we're taking care the bio-garden and chanting Hare Krishna to the plants. We're learning about the natural cares for the plants, without insecticides, pesticides neither chemical agents.

We hope this could be an incentive to other people to make a bio-garden.

After the harvest, all will be offer to the Owner of everything in our altar Nimay Caitanya Candra (You named our deities).

Dear Gurudeva, we're trying to connect daily to FMP program and have your merciful association. We like so much to listen your classes and sometimes, when I have a doubt, I ask to my elder god-brothers. We have the desire to continue learning and take Krishna Consciousness with maturity and knowledge, under your guidance and through your instructions and realizations.

Now, I work and do service from home. During the week, by phone callings I'm talking with relatives, friends and friends of my friends about the cares of the physical, mental and spiritual health.

I'm applying some ayurveda knowledges that Rupanuga Prabhu taught me. I usually talk with him and I share him the classes, commentaries and realizations that you transmit us.

Guru Maharaja, all over this time that I know Krishna Conciousness (that is more than 20 years), I'm recently understanding the importance of being in constantly purification (each moment) through the Sadhana Bhakti, rounds and progressive study. In addition, I'm trying to have an appropriate life style with enthusiasm and with a deep desire to raise Krishna Consciousness in ourselves and the others. I'm trying each day (it's a constant battle) to serve with love, sincerity, humility, balance, detachment and in general, surrender to Krishna. Also, I'm trying that my thoughts, words and actions head towards goodness, and by the mercy of Guru Krishna to the transcendence.

Dear Gurudeva, thanks a lot, thank you infinitely for all your mercy that you give us in each moment, for all your constant effort and dedication... all of this is admirable!!! I wish to be always at your service with love and without conditions.

Please, take care a lot. May Nrishmadeva always protects you.

Trying to serve,

Tarangaksi Devi Dasi

HpS - Hmmm? Zucinni and potatoes? What is your source of edible oil? Will you fry anything? I think Lord Nrsmhadeva likes fried potatoes, zucinni etc. Hare Krsna... Hare Rama. Your potential is unlimited!

Subal is from Mathura. Very nice person. His esteemed wife is from Mexico and disciple of H. H. B. S. Damodara Swami. Their kids are cool!!!

What is he doing now? His Sankirtan?

Here is his altar!!!!

Everyone needs and altar, shrine, in his heart(?).

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Oramos diariamente para que Lord Nrishimha te proteja siempre. En Perú hemos hecho una especie de equipo de contingencia con Yogesvara prabhu, para asistir con Dióxido de Cloro, a los devotos que se contagian del Corona Virus. Ya hay varios que se han recuperado en cinco días de tratamiento incluido mi hermano, su esposa e hijos. Le envio un video con información:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l1eR0PyHhY

Por otro lado, le envié a su correo, el PPT de “Bhisma” dedicado a Héctor Béjar, con una pequeña reseña del autor (Como Usted me lo sugirió) al final de la presentación. También le he añadido una hoja final con referencias (links - enlaces) para que Héctor pueda encontrar alguna información complementaria. Ahora que tengo que hacer? Enviárselo a Héctor? A Abhirama T.?

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva,

Su aspirante a sirviente, AmD

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!

We pray daily that Lord Nrishimha will protect you always. In Peru we have made a kind of contingency team with Yogesvara prabhu, to assist devotees who get the Corona Virus with Chlorine Dioxide. There are already several who have recovered in five days of treatment including my brother, his wife and children. I send you a video with information:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l1eR0PyHhY

On the other hand, I sent the PPT of “Bhisma” dedicated to Héctor Béjar to his email, with a short review of the author (as you suggested) at the end of the presentation. I have also added a final sheet with references (links - links) so that Héctor can find some additional information. Now, What do have I do? Send it to Hector? To Abhirama T.?

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva,

Your would-be servant, AmD

HpS - Thank you for both pieces of new. We started to watch the video and it seems nice but we haven't got the time or WiFi data to watch it now. We also looked on the internet and saw that the US Government and a big medical page were warning people that it does not cure Karuna virus and is potentially dangerous!!?

The PPTX is great. With the help of the Abhirama Thakura Das send it to Hector.

Next letter!

Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances and all glories to Srila Prabhupad!

Dear Maharaj, thank you for being that pillar in our life that gives stability, security, ability to breathe, sleep and even live in the most turbulent times, when no one or nothing else can.

HpS - Again we would be nothing without contact and pulllllling of Srila Prabhupada.

Such is your grace, saints like you selflessly live for others. You keep yourself pure so others can find some solace and relief from material miseries. Thank you for your kind and most valuable association which we do not deserve.

It is Krsna's causeless mercy, for probably the sins we have performed, we may not deserve anything good. Yet He is so merciful, He has given so much love and affection through His dear devotees. Relationships with whom, I realize is the most important possession without which one is unfortunate, and very poor.

Hence having spiritual relationships like with you is the actual wealth of the soul. Nothing of this world can equal or surpass this sustainence, without which material nature will factually render us insane. I'm going through a difficult time, but I pray that when this phase ends, I never ever forget this one thing I have in my life from the spiritual world.

My sadhana: able to chant 16 rounds, some hearing, working on improving reading and morning program (really a struggle when living with my husband). I need your relationship the most ever in my life now as I realized marriage is where Im supposed to only give, but only when I myself am full can I give.

My batteries feeling depleted often, I wonder how to keep recharged. How to make this spiritual transformation in my being and interaction with others from needing (myself in center) to serving (the other in center). It's really difficult for me to do any more sadhana than the above due to insomnia that I've developed dealing with the issues in my marriage.

Is this small amount that I'm able to do enough to find my heart shelter? To recharge me and fill me so I can serve as required? I am desperately looking for ways to become equipped to continue my service? How do I recharge?

Your aspiring servant,

YajnaseniDD

HpS - AGTSP... Paoho.... I experience the same thing. I want to fall into material sense gratification, read a story about Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, or something, materially gratifying OR painful.

But then I apply the years and years of personal efforts to apply, prioritize the lessons I have received from Jayananda, Srila Prabhupada et al, et al. Rick Warren et al, and I am able to go ahead a little more.

So, there is no magic bullet.

Chant 16-rounds, reading a honest amount daily. These are so potent that NOTHING can stop you from becoming a Paramhamsa. It just takes time, but if step back and stop pushing forward to save your husband from becoming a character in a computer game in his next like, then you will see that you have actually made a little ETERNAL progress.

Then back to the battle.

Lean more.

Becoming a world class Guru is not easy, but it is something that you carry forward life after lie.

Good luck on understanding how to grow you war machine!

Share your experiences of your visctories.
