Hare Krishna.

Dandavat Pranam Guru Maharaj 🙏

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, all glories to Sri Sri Gour Nityai.

Hare Krishna, wishing you a happy Mohini Ekadasi and an early happy Narasimha Chaturdasi. I apologize for the delay in my communication. Please forgive me. The Sunday GoToMeeting (Bhagavat Katha) made me feel closer to you, which is wonderful.

HpS - ASA - AgtSP! Ditto! So nice to hear from you.

Guru Maharaj, I am now 26 weeks pregnant with another baby. We hope to have another good Vrajabasi devotee. This is only possible with your mercy, "Mukam karoti vachalam pangum langhayate girim yat kripa tam aham vande sri guru dinatarine." Only through Guru's grace. I beg for your mercy.

HpS - We are just dancing frogs 🐸 at the feet of Srila Prabhupada!

We are trying a little bit, but should try more! 💪🐵.

By His Divine Grace and Sampradaya may we understand what Krsna's wants us to do as mother, father, daughter and son. Just like the Pandava's and get His work done!

I listen to the Bhagavat Katha by H. H. Bhakti Anand Haridasa Maharaj every morning and evening on Zoom. Following your instructions, my younger sister Manjuwali Mataji and I read the Krishna book together. I along with husband and daughter also visit the Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Temple in Vrindavan for darshan on regular basis.

HpS/ASA - Wow! So nice. We would like to be your children!

Looking forward to have your Darshan.

Sincerely,

Kalpalatika dd

HpS - Hare Krsna. Hare Rama.

Hare Krishna Guru ji.

Dandavat Pranams.

Guruji, I am learning myself by attending Bhagavatam classes twice a week with Subala Sakha prabhu ji I go to the temple every Saturday and every ekadasi for darshan (Radha Madan Mohanji) and try to help in the temple. Now in the new temple, I work in the gift shop 2-3 days and festivals and work as volunteer whenever I can guruji.

I get a chance to sing 12:30 aarti on Saturday mostly. I feel very beginner to spiritual life guruji so I try to focus on learning by attending classes and volunteer whenever for whatever they may need me. Sugopi led a manra meditation workshop at her yoga studio and I was there and spoke briefly on chanting and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

In May, there is Capital Kirtan for 3 days in DC and so we’ll be there to help there. Sugopi is one of the organizers. Guruji I work full time too. So I try to maintain my life as much as I can.

Your aspiring servant,

The notice of you going to Spain make me feel very happy, because now I will se you again, now I'm making some plans to be able to work there (in europe) and I think that is goig to be nice for me, I hope for your blessing in that matter, also I want to say sorry for not sending a letter in such a long time, this months for me have being really hard, but for now I feel very better, I'm chanting and dancing, also now my sankirtan is not as good as at it was a few months ago, but now I'm foccus on make every person that I make true sankirtan a devotee or close the way for that, I'm also reeding al most every dat the Srimad Bhagavatam (and sometimes the Bible) and I'm really enjoying that, is crazy how everythig that you put along with Krsna makes you feel more plesure or a strange gratification for do in it, now my target is that, make everything conected with Krsna in some way, I think also the bad time that I was having was for that, for forget that every action that one have to do have to be for and with Krsna, otherwise is just a lost of time, sorry for not being able to conect to your morning program, this fool can't go to bed before 11 pm, now we are workig to change that but for the moment is a problem that my family don't help much to solve.

Also I will start the Spiritual Warrior of his holliness Bhakti Tirtha Swami my dad give to me in one night along with some pizza and a few Popcorn made with Ghee, a very strange desition of making it but ended up tasting very nice hahaha.

A last thing to add, I still think about the pictures that I promise to you of the travel of Argentina, but I don't know way in this app is super complicated to send, once I almost loose the letter that I was trying to send, so If we meet in Spain and if I have the oportunity I think will be a best time to show you that.

Now with little to few to add, I say good bye and Hare Krsna :D

ASA/tb - agtsp!!!!! thank you for news... ours is about the same.

is this a good documentary?

from ww 2 we see how hard it was to win even one little fight on this planet, what to speak of conquering durga devi!!!

maybe we should expect many battles!!!!!

but see lasting progress each time!!!

Hare Krsna Srila Gurudev

Srila Prabhupada ki jai !!

Dandavat pranam at your lotus feet Srila gurudev

I am so glad and relieved to see that your holiness plans to visit Vraj dham this year. Consequently I, have currently dropped my plans for spain. Although, I am thinking of atleast making my passport.

I had a very very wonderful Darshan at jagannath puri. Tried visiting the places where sri caitanya mahaprabhu used to go. I got lot of mercy in the form of darshan and prasad at alarnath dham. The stone that had melted under Caitanya mahaprabhu is still there.

Went to bhajan kutir of H.D.G. Srila Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati thakur Srila Prabhupada. My appreciation has increased so much for him. I always felt special connection with H.D.G. Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati goswami Prabhupada. I am currently planning to read Bhakti Siddhant Vaibhav by H.H. Srila Bhakti Vikas maharaj. Found a online free copy, not sure if that's the complete version or not.

My sadhana has also improved a lot. 4 regulation principles intact and chanting my 16 rounds regularly but quality has to improve.

My Nitai and Nimai deities are back with me so I am very happy to serve them again. Looking at them gives me lot of happiness.

Srila Gurudev one question : how do senior devotees associate with each other. When Sanyasis and senior devotees meet each other how do they associate, what do they talk about.

Eagerly waiting for you to come to vraj.

Your trying to be student

Rturaj Krsna Das

hps/asa -super, super, agtsp, good news. t h a n k you!!! thank you. you are making solid eternal progress.

omly 23% chance of visiting in dia from spain.

next letter!! join us.

Hare Krishna!

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you.

Gurudeva, I wanted to say thank you.

I am making some advancement and I owe you very much for this.

I know I could not pay you back but I do desire to try. I am trying my best by waking up everyday at 3:45am, chanting 16 superbly attentive rounds,

following 4 regs

and dancing at Mangala aarti.

My rounds are done before 9am. Our morning program is pretty much like clock work, and I am working on going deeper.

I am very determined to spread KC in Dallas here to westerns. We have programs specifically targeted for this demographic and we are finding some success. Even more targeted is I am working to spread KC with youth. I have signed up for one of the NA leadership initiatives and Youth is my initiative I have chosen to be part of.

I figure this works very in line with my current preaching endeavours at Krishna House Dallas. We have a nice group with Manoram Prabhu, Malati Prabhu, Kalakantha Prabhu and Sangara Thaukur Prabhu. I think this is a great opportunity for me to work with and see some nice devotees in action.

Gurudeva, I really don't want to leave anything on the battlefield when I leave this body. Besides FMP and my service, I have read 9 books in the last month on communication, leadership, sales and wealth.

We will read Art of War soon.

I don't plan on slowing down with this.

I was told recently, a little over a month ago, that I have so much more potential than what I am giving. That stung but at the same time it started a fire within me, challenge accepted.

Since then, I have felt more alive in my KC than ever. I see more clearly my service, an amazing increase in my ability for it and my better character. I am a coach, a teacher, like you said 15+ years ago.

I don't want to do anything less than giving my everything for Srila Prabhupada and you. However, Gurudeva, I want to be transparent in my endeavor with you. If you have any concerns or adjustments, you would like from me please tell me. If you would be so kind please bless me that I can be the best leader, communicator and most importantly servant that I can be for Srila Prabhupada.

I am looking forward very much to seeing you in Houston, if Krishna allows me to live that long.

Haribol,

Your servant on the battlefield, boots on the ground,

Nanda-braja das.

HpS - AgtSP!!

You are such and example to us!

😃

Thank God, even us dogs, bears, can take part and dance in ecstacy.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva

Please accept my obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

We continue fighting, this mind I have is very demonic, but without a doubt the process of Krishna consciousness helps to control it through spiritual intelligence [3.43]

HpS//ASA - Wonderful!!

I have interacted with devotees from other Vaishnava schools, it has been nice to be able to appreciate their service. I don't share some things with them, philosophical topics and I think that if at some point they invited me to listen to a class at their school, I would avoid doing it, but if I share Kirtan, it is what unites us, and well, prasadam too (but making sure which does not have garlic or onion.)

Since February I have been making a contribution to the ISKCON Chile temple, and also to NIOS Chile, for whatever purposes they deem appropriate.

I took a Vedic counseling course, they teach the basis of the most important Vedic sciences: jyotish, ayurveda, yoga and vastu. It's in English, so it helps me put a little more effort into learning the language.

My musical and preaching project on social media is having good results. I am adapting the maha mantra to popular songs and it is attractive to people, also devotees.

Thank you Gurudeva for accepting me in your program again.

My obeisances

Your servant

Piyari Mohan das

ps: I share a photograph of today's program (April 30, 2024), we are going to complete almost 2 months with weekly meetings. In the image Álvaro and his son Maximiliano. They are steady and enthusiastic.

HpS - Thank you!! THANK YOU! . . .

Pray, HK///HR, that Krsna puts a Brahminical column in your preaching efforts!!!

Hare Krsna!!

Best wishes bringing all your disciples back to Goloka!
