All glories to Sri Guru and Gouranga!

Pranam Guru Maharaj,

We two sisters are Nandi Mukhi DD and Nischinta Nitai DD from ISKCON Manipur.

Maharaj, as usual we are regularly attending morning SB class and online Bg class at 7PM everyday.

We always remember your instruction - "All we need is to get and give good association. Institution will follow from that" and we always try to speak something about Krishna to the innocent people as per your advice.

Maharaj we are very happy to learn from your book " Tava Pāche Pāche" that "Bharata Maharaj's fall down was because of vanity. He wanted to assume Krsna position as the well-wisher of living entities (BG5.29). "Why should Krsna be everyone's best friend? I am this deer's best friend"(page 87 " Tava Pāche Pāche". In the same way...

The above few lines open our eyes and enlightened us so much.

Thank you Guru Maharaj. We are eagerly waiting to see you in India soon.

Lastly may Lord Krishna be listened to our silent prayer for your long, happy and healthy life so as to enable you to fulfill Srila Prabhupada's mission more and more .

Hare Krishna.

Begging to remain your

servant birth after birth.

HpS - Thank, agtSP, you! You are making incomparable contribution to Lord Caitanya's movement, which is changing the world!

Do you follow us on Twitter (no "X") as 'huber_robinson', which is our civil name, name of our 'donkey'?

Please send some more news from time to time.

Everyone one wants to hear about Radha Madhava and Their pastimes, Holy Dhama.

Do you have any Sankirtan partners in Mayapura?

All Glory to Srila Prabhupad, All Glory to Sankirtan Movement by Sri Gaura Nitay.

Please accept my humbles obeisances.

Dear Gurudeva: Thanks for your tireless exemplary life.

HpS/ASA 🐵 🐖 🐖 - Haw! Haw! Haw Ray!!!! Are mostly tired. Struggling with what little energy we have to honor Prasdam better, more honestly; reduce our material sense gratification; sleep less!

AgtSP!!!!!!

I keep trying to learn from the devotees, I started reading the Srimad Bhagavatam again, and I continue trying to make good rounds, I have followed your lectures at facebook and youtube. Your instructions are very valuable.

HpS - Super thanks to ASA Carnival for their publication work. AgtSP for 99.999999% of anything useful we say.

I have some doubts:

What is the proper Ekadasi etiquette. If you didn't know what day was Ekadasi and you ate grains before you knew it, It is appropriate to fast from that moment or not. What should be done in such a situation?

HpS - AS far as I know should definitely not eat anymore grains. It is like accidentally stabbing your self in the foot. You don't want go on shooting yourselfe but now intentionally.

And What do you do if the day changes while traveling? For example if Ekadasi is tomorrow at the source site, but at the destination site is today when you arrives ekadasi it's over, or in another situation when at origin place is Ekadasi but at destination place is Ekadasi tomorrow, is ekadasi for two days?

HpS - I don't know the details. Hope others might send us a note here, but would suggest that you follow the timings from where you start.

If you eat grains on Ekadasi, then you should do and Ekadasi fasting on Trayodasi, not Dvadasi, to compensate.

Thanks a lot your crew member

HpS - Always so nice to hear from you.

Reading CC, KRSNA book, TLC, regularly is also reading the Bhagavatam. Get little habits eg. Little TLC every day before Mangala arati. Little Krsna book every night before going to sleep. etc. etc. You will become addicted. Feel practical, eternal, purification of your intoxication!

Come on!

Time to become Goswami!

Guru!



Hare Krishna dear Gurudev !💪

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !🙌

How are you? I hope you are in very good health and also your Sankirtan being excelent.

Nowadays we are visiting Mayapur-Dham, we came here to attend the Goura Purnima festival, i came with my wife Narayani Gourapremi dd. And It has been very special to come to this sacred place, meet with so nice devotees, taking darshan of Maha Panca-tattva in Mangalartik has been extremely special and I think of great benefit for our spiritual advancement. Now we are on our way to Vrindavan Safari🎉

🎉

🎉

. I hope I can get your blessings to attend this safari properly. Then we will return to Mayapur for a few more days and then we will go back to Paraguay-South America🛫

Your servant

Vijaya Govinda das.😁

HpS/ASA - Super, super, super! Thank you!!!

The picture of Srila Prabhupada's Ambassador car in Mayapura is great.

Please write a journal of as many things as you can. Even if they seem ordinary now. In the next few years they will be incredible to read.

Hope you make good connections with many devotees and become a Sankirtan man on the level of Narada muni!

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet [lettuce]. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you Guru Maharaja. 

Guru Maharaja, I am reading Srila Prabhupada Lilamrita, just finished reading the pastimes of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada’s final moments on this earth (Part 4 – How Shall I Serve You). Soon after Srila Prabhupada received a reply letter in December 1936, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada passed away from this mortal world –

Quote from Srila Prabhupada Lilamrita – ending part of Part 4 – How Shall I Serve You 

Srila Prabhupada writes,

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. You have got many disciples, and I am one of them, but they are doing direct service to you. Some of them are brahmacharis, some of them are sannyasis, but I am a householder. I cannot. Sometimes I give monetary help, while I cannot give you direct service. Is there any particular service I can do? 

Two weeks later, Abhay received a reply.

………………..............................…………

Abhay at once recognised this to be the same instruction he had received at their first meeting, in 1922. He took it as a confirmation. There was now no doubt as to the purpose of his life. What his spiritual master said in 1922 had not that been a chance meeting. The instruction was the same: “Turn yourself into a very good English preacher. This will do much good to yourself as well as your audience”. 

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta passed away from this mortal world on January 1, 1937. He had been spending his last days reading Caitanya-caritamrita and chanting on his beads.………….................…….

While reading this portion of Srila Prabhupada Lilamrita, I am strongly remembering you Guru Maharaja with a lot of anxiety thinking about the separation we have to feel later after you pass away from this mortal world.

Guru Maharaja, I feel very sad in seeing your health troubles. I don’t know what can I do for your good health. We, a team of devotees, are chanting extra rounds everyday, and we are sincerely praying to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and Sri Sri Radha Govindaji, for your long life and good health.

We are very immature. We need more of your association. Please live with us little more years Guru Maharaja, this is our humble request. 

In the past many years, because of my foolishness, I was neglecting the chances of having more of your associations in many ways. In the recent past of about 1 year, I have been regularly associating with you through vapu, mails, blog posts, classes, lectures, etc. and from the association, I am finding in myself a lot of positive changes. The sayings of yours for your winding up of the earthly pastimes makes me very upset. It is the saddest news I ever heard in my life. I am still longing for your vapu association for many more years. 

Guru Maharaja, please let me know which seva will make you most happy from this stupid servant of yours. What kind of seva is most satisfying and pleasing to you from a disciple? What are your projects, what is your mission – how can I take part in those sevas. How can I keep myself engaged in the service of you Guru Maharaj and Krishnachandra with full dedication, full enthusiasm and always nonstop. Please let me know and guide me on these confidential topics. And, please bless me so that I shall keep myself engaged in those sevas till my last breath. 

Guru Maharaja, I have started reading Tava Pache Pache. It’s very wonderful. I am continuing my book distribution seva also. 

Guru Maharaja, whatever offences I have committed to you, please kindly forgive and please guide me so that I become pure in this life time. 

Begging for your association as a disciple birth after birth,

Your humble disciple

HpS - Yes, the separation from our gurus, godbrothers, all vaisnava friends can make us very sad.

That will never, NEVER, N E V E R stop!

You think Radha doesn't feel separation from KRSNA?

🙂

Yet, it is not separation for Her.

It is like black pepper in the Kitri.

It is very nice. It must be in proportion.

We must act in this life so that when we meet again in our next life with Nimai in Nadia we will feel like we know each other.

We have met your family, no?

What other Vaisnavas do we know in Silchar community?

When did we visit there?

Hari Das Swami???

What you are doing now is best service to us. Don't change it. Grow it.

Hare Krishna Maharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I am pranjal (brahmchari) from ISKCON NEWTOWN, Kolkata. I serve in ISKCON YOUTH FORUM at Bhaktivedanta Research Center and conduct sessions for youth in JADAVPUR UNIVERSTIY.

In weekends I am conducting Ramayana Course for children.

HpS/ASA - Making statues of Ravana and having them beat it with sticks!!! ???

I got your darshan when you visited here . Since then I am periodically following the blog and kapi dhwaj. I am deeply inspired by the content.

I intend to become regular reader Nectar of Instruction with help of TPP book. As advised in the book I aspire to complete the study each fortnight and in this way go through it around 25 times from this gaur purnima to next. I seek your blessings for fulfiling this aspiration.

HpS - It was so nice staying in BRC. Thank you. Send photo!!!

All glories to Sri Sri Guru And Gauranga!

PAMHO AGTSP!

Hare Krishna Maharaj:

How r u? I’ve been trying to recover my lost Twitter account in order to follow you there, but I wasn’t lucky so I will create a new one and check regularly your posts.

hps/asa 🐵

Although I’m watching your classes regularly. Usually I’m busy when you give live classes, so I search upon YouTube and check some old ones.

First of all I would like to thank you, it’s been 2 days since I don’t smoke. I’m still eating during night time so I’ll try to fix that in a near future, trying to make gradual changes.

My sadhana, luckily, in some ways is better than before, I’m performing a morning program with a short Kirtan, offering a fruit, water, flower petals and an incense to my deities, and chanting 10 rounds.

HpS/ASA - 👍

Also I’m taking more care of the house cleaning and order, and walking almost every day to complete the rounds during the late afternoon.

I’m about to restart English classes, so I’m quite happy about that and I keep attending to an English conversation club where I have some friends and acquaintances.

I’d been praying to Krishna for help to quit smoking, and now that I’ve been better I feel so grateful. Some lyrics of Christian songs came to my mind, in which the author said that He is faithful.

HpS - Prabhupada said the intoxication, like tobacco, marjuana, goes away as we learn to honor Prasadam properly.

Make progress.

I’ve been going through some other difficulties with the mother of my child, and we’re dealing the issue with lawyers. I don’t think might be useful to tell you the details, but summarizing she’s neglecting my daughter’s health and wellbeing, so I please request if you just could pray for a happy ending, that would be of so much help for me.

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna. Krsna Krsna. Hare Hare. /// Hare Rama. Hare Rama. Rama Rama. Hare Hare.

Thank you infinitely once again Maharaj!

HK! Dandavats!

Federico

HpS - Thank you!!!
