Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept our obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

We are just in our way back to Mexico from almost two months in India and Holy places, with and exhausted body, but lots of beautiful moments in our hearts.

We had a very positive result with the more than 30 people who came with us in tour to Rishikesh, Jaipur and Vrindavan (and surroundings). They enthusiastically engaged in chanting Hare Krishna and were very eager to learn about the pastimes of the Lord specially in Vrindavan. One of the girls in the group just had an amazing realization. While driving she got into an accident where a big truck hook her car over 100meters and the only thing she could think of was the mantra we chanted every day on the bus, HK mahamantra! 

We are just trying to follow your constant instruction of chanting enthusiastically, but seen so many demonstrations of love for Radha & Krishna I can say I don’t have real love for the Names. On Srila Raghunatha Das Goswami disappearance day we visit Radha kunda, and while offering pranams to Syamakunda we observed an old man, cleaning the kund, fighting agains the difficulties of his body but happily doing his service. We just try to appreciate/Thank his service telling him ‘Radhe Radhe’ as is common in Vraja, He responded ‘Radhe Radhe’ with chocking voice and started to cry. How much love this devotees have for their beloveds Names, that just by pronouncing tears start to flow. I don’t have Love for the names.

My mother and sister also have the opportunity to come this karthik to India. We Travel to visit Madan Mohan en Karouli, Govindadevaji & Gopinath in Jaipur were all the devotees melodious bhajans glorifying the Lord doesn’t requiere musical instruments, just once voice. My little 16 years old sister got Iniciation Vraja Mandala Parikrama camp by Lokanat Maharaj. Maharaja was very kind to us and inquiere when we will do Vrajamandala Parikrama. Also happily remember when you used to do parikrama with them.

Gurumaharaja, this time my visit to Vrindavan was very hard, I tried to have as much association as possible, and try to stop the mind from crazy thoughts but I feel like I failed. I feel like I don’t have a service in Srila Prabhupada’s army while im coming here to enjoy the devotional ambience. Our only service was to assist Asita Maharaja in Bhaktivedanta Ashram ISKCON Govardhan for the abhiseka and prasadam distribution on Govardhan Puja.  In general I had many troubles with the pollution and the crowded that turns during festivals.

Next year I will not be able to visit Vraja because im starting post graduate studies. As you suggested I will do something practical (Graduate certification on Pharma regulation), enough to have a ok job.

Gurudeva, please forgive my dullness and inertia to contribute to Srila Prabhupada movement and flickering on my services 

I attached some pictures

PD> I also attached the link of Giriraj retreats Booklet that I should have share in this forum before.

Do you have any plans to go any time to China? we distribute one book to one nice lady who couldnt read but felt very atracted by the pictures. we were talking to Kelly (from Houston) about that possibility.

Thanks for you mercy

(seems like we always differed in Houston for few days)

Govinda Pramodini Dasi  [ & Ranchor Krishna Das]

HpS - AGTSP paoho.  Such nice news.  If know you don't have any attraction to the Holy Names then you must KNOW what attraction is.  You didn't think the old Vrjavasi as a psychotic. You have some realization.   So, just go on taking the medicine and you will see results. Maybe you will see that when you chant with mechanical effort in the morning then all day you feel physically healthy.

Our respects to your esteemed husband, Ranchorji. Yes, we hope to see you in Ciudad Mexico en just about 8-weeks.

Anyone who helps other reach the Holy Dhams is guarnteed a place there themselves, no?

Oh, and your wonderful brother is here!!!

SUPER fotos.

HpS-ASA - AGTSP Paoho. Www have been thinking about your good self and dad because there had been no news. ☹

 Good to hear from you

 The way youth describe it it seemed like you should consider taking the job but we don't know the  details. What does Mrs. Harsh think? 40% increase seems fine but seems with your intelligence and Srila Prabhupada association increases should be coming in many ways.

 Take five year contract? Three year?

 Write books. Travel and lecture?

Todas las Glorias a sus señorías Sri Sri Nitay Gauracandra

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a su sankirtana eterno

Hare krsna Gurudeva, Pamho, estamos aquí en Huancayo - Perú, las lluvias empezaron y con ello la primavera esta llegando, sembramos algunas plantas.

Nuestro sadhana 5:00 am., 16 rondas, 4 principios, 3 gayatris, atendiendo a las deidades de casa y bañando a las silas los días que me toca, una vez a la semana le hago turbantes con las flores que sembramos el año pasado.

En el día cocino en el Restaurante y le ofrecemos a las silas y a JBS pequeñas, nos reunimos 3 veces a la semana con 5 devotos para leer el Bagavad Gita.

Prabhu Jagad Bandhu Das estuvo por unos 3 días, hubo clase de bagavatam y bagavad gita. Hablamos sobre el proyecto "Club Gauranga", tenemos el deseo de hacer una base de sankirtana en la casa y hacer retiros espirituales esperemos a largo plazo se vaya dando, nos gustaría que ya empiece el proyecto pero tenemos que tener paciencia...

Por otra parte que debo de hacer con mi padre que es una persona muy autoritaria, el vive en ansiedad por sus propios deseos que tiene con sus dos hijos,  pero Gurudev deseo saber ¿cual es el deber de una hija para con su padre?

HpS - Para Kali-yuga, ser una amiga, y trata compartir la conciencia de Krsna con el acuerdo de la situacion.

Estoy viendo la película el Mahabaratha, me encanta mucho, estoy en el cap. 41 cuando aryuna rapta a subadra y Draupadi se encuentra con Subadra.

P. Gadai tiene una pregunta del Bagavad Gita; Arjuna fue puesto en ignorancia, ¿porque energía fué tocado, por yoga maya o maha maya ( energía interna o energía externa)?

HpS - Claro, Yoga maya. La energia interior, como Krsna puede predicar la BG para nosotros almas  condicionados.

Gracias por todo querido Gurudev, hacemos lo que podemos pero siento que falta algo en mi proceso, tratando de mejorar...

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi

HpS - Gracias su carta!    We are running very fast with the Sankirtan here in Chile and hope to write a report soon.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada. 

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias Gurudeva, por ahora llevamos bien nuestro sadhana (16 rondas 4 principios), hoy 26 de Octubre se presentó por parte del Festival Internacional de Santa Lucía "danza clásica de Manipur" y con mi familia presenciamos diferentes danzas y mi esposo recordó cuando viajó con usted a Manipur, al final conocimos al elenco y mi esposo habló un poco en manipuri con un músico del grupo de danza fue muy interesante, no tengo las palabras sobre mi experiencia pero fue increíble la oportunidad de apreciar en vivo la danza rasa de Manipur.

Mi esposo se encuentra muy bien de salud, él tiene diferentes proyectos de negocios y mantenemos el restaurante.

Mis pequeños hijos continúan creciendo y mi maternidad por ahora está muy bien con mis actividades de sadhana y trabajo diseño gráfico en mis tiempos libres en casa, continuo la lectura en las mañanas y cuidar y atender mi hogar.

Le agradezco su tiempo y cada dia en mis oraciones pedimos por su salud y bienestar, le anexo fotografías que tomé en el Festival...

hPs - ASA   - Increible.   TlgaSP.   Quien llevo las bailarines?????   Reverencias a todos.  Esta en ruta a Goloka.

All Gloris to Sri Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Prabhupada

Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Radha Krsna Ki Jay,

Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

Guruji Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that I had already informed to H H Haridasa Swami Maharaja and Sarda Gourangi D D about Gurujis tour programme in India. A final date will be suggested from their side and they will directly inform or write unto You or to me. In their openion the programme may be at Mayapur, it will be convenient of Guruji and all initiated bhaktas and matajis of N.E. States (Manipur, Silchar and Guwahati, Agartala) during Guruji’s stay at Mayapur.  Please suggest the convenient dates. We are eagerly waiting Gurujis Amritabani.

HpS - !!!!   <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /> <img alt="smiley" height="23" src="https://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />      I think we will arrive in Maypura about  February 24th and then be working with Ministry of Education and GBC until March 6th. After that we can stay in Mayapura and associate with devotees, but Gaura-purnima is 21st March. So devotees will be coming before that and it will be difficult to get accomodations and other facilities. Maybe good to travel to some place in the Northeast. March 27th we have to be in Bombay!!

Last Sunday, the 14^th Oct. 2018 a book “Madanamohan” was released with a grand function with K. Shyam Singh, Cabinet Minister of Manipur State as Chief Guest, Prof. H. Tombi Singh, former V.C. of Manipur University and present V.C. of UBC as Guest of Honour and Principal of Jawaharlal Nehru Dance Academy preside the function. 

On 19^th Oct. the Tirobhava of Dr. T. D. Singh, Sripada Maharaja will be organized at ISKCON Imphal, Radha Krishnachandra Mandir. Some bhaktas and matajis from Thoubal will participate including me.

My personal sadhana is reading Bhagavatam regularly with reference to Gita and on Sunday or Holidays I read C.C.; BRS, NOI, NOD etc. following the four principles and 16 rounds of chanting.

HpS - !!!!  !   ! !!.

My family members are all fine. My wife is also practicing her sadhana regularly. My daughter who is working at Bangalore is coming home on the 2^nd Nov.  Her engagement will be during Nov. and probably the marriage ceremony will be in the month of Feb. or March next year. My son is living as it is without earning from any side. Please advice him through this block.

HpS - Canakhya Pandita says that poverty cannot stay where there is constant effort, ignorance cannot stay where there is constant recitation of the Vedas (SB) and sinful reaction cannot stay where there is constant chanting of the Holy Names.    So.....   your son should keep endeavoring for some productive position. If he sees that he needs more qualification, more education, more preliminary qualifications, then he should adquire them.   He should work to get work.

O.K.?       Of course, the Pandavas were un-engaged for 14-years in the forest. Krsna has His plans about our work.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - What is the content of the Madan-mohan book?    What are you reading in CC??
