All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS! 

Dandavat Pranam Guru Maharaj. PAOHO

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

We are still in a state of extended bliss..post Yaoshang Sankirtan!! We have missed you so much dear Guru Maharaj. The Yaoshang kirtan was explosive!! We celebrate for 5 days...non stop kirtan . We stormed Govindaji's temple.....sang, danced, and of course received the colours of pure ecstatic love....there was no stopping any one of us...no not even  the police......and we had nothing on our minds except Gauranga!! Oh!! What a crowd.....sending some old links https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkYgrOJAtCE    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxJT0zs8kdc. 

We are sending some photos which we had taken this time. The Chief Secretary of the State Shree RR Rashmi also happens to be a devotee of ISKCON, Patna. We were invited at his bangalow for the kirtan. HH BVT Swami Maharaj and HH BAHG Maharaj led our kirtan ...and needless to say we had a blast of a kirtan there too. Daily, just after Guru Puja we start our kirtan party from the temple and we finish by 8pm or a little later sometimes. Thats for 5 days...and still longing for more! This time our Chief minister suggested that we celebrate Yaoshang for just 2 days...the e-response was shockingly trivializing. One post went like....Dear Chief Minister Sir, kindly cut your 5 year term to 2 years!! The Chief minister has kept quiet since then!!!!

We dressed  RadhaKrishnachandra differently on the 2nd day ,called Pichkaari day....where there is a huge sankirtan at Govindajee temple. Nobody minds the colours thrown on them. The dress was supposed to be ordained on Guru Maharaja's 70th Vyas puja but somehow we could not finish stitching on time. Hope you like them dear Guru Maharaj, we are sending the photo.

Yesterday ,we went inside the main market area for Sunday nagarkirtan. Blissful ...as always . Thank you dear Guru Maharaj. Started attending Mangal Arti at the temple daily nowadays with your endless mercy. Thank you so much.

Will try all we can to make the exchange program work if Krishna so desires. We have 2 very good dance teachers here who are closely associated with the temple. They train and make all the necessary arrangement. Will collect the motifs and do some homework on the tribal patterns and traditional designs, some of them are worn only by the royal blood. How may we help each other? We don't have sketches and other drawings based on SB and BG. We will keep praying that the movement gets bigger and stronger. Please help us Guru Maharaj ...we are so insignificant.....

Your servant always,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

Your servant always,

HpS - Wonderful!!!!    The devotees from Mexico are trying to contact you. Do you have Whatsapp?  Please send you telephone number and email to [email protected]

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

       All glories to our dearest Guru Maharaj HpS!!

                All glories to all Vaisnavas!! 

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our humble obeisances . Koti koti dandavat pranams....we are so fallen....we seek your forgiveness. Please forgive our offences committed in ignorance...we feel responsible for the health challenges Guru Maharaj faced recently. We had been seeking mercy from Nrshimha Bhagavan for Guru Maharaj's speedy recovery.....we need Your guidance and instructions so desperately. We pray that GM's health is better now.

HpS - AGTSP paoho.   We want to write more often but once we start these tours we are in contact with pople constantly, so there is only time for URGENT letters.  Maybe we can expand into two people.
We don't remember having any bad health issues. Just normal Dwindling Donkey.

Last Sunday , we went to Gaura-Nagar, around 15 kms from the Temple, at the foothills of Baruni . Here in Manipur, people climb the Baruni and pay their obeisances to Lord Shiva about a week after Yaosang (the local name for Holi). And at the foothills of Baruni is located  a temple of Gauranga. The place is named GauraNagar. Very peaceful.....why does the Lord always choose to be close to the hills?

ASA - Because they remind Him of Govardhana?

As we started from the Temple, we were in split minds, some of us suggesting Nagar Kirtan first then darshan at GauraNagar later.  Mataji suggested Gauranga darshan first and then Nagar kirtan. So finally we agreed to Gauranga Darshan first and then Nagarkirtan. By Nityananda's mercy the Sunday Nagarkirtan group is getting bigger! Thank you Guru Maharaj. So...there .....was it because of the indecisiveness that Gauranga took us for a long ride.....we took the wrong route...realised it only after we have covered a good few kms.....never reaching ...never reaching...driving...driving!! Then we turned back and got our way ...this time , the right tract!! We had kirtan and had a wonderful time. Then on our way back , we went for Nagarkirtan ....reached the temple ...late for the Rajbhog arti by 15mins.Would you please explain to us the meaning of 'mahatattva'?

HpS - Total material energy as far as we know. It them divides into the eight separated energies described at or near to BG 7.4 >>>>>>>

We are sending You some photos. In one foto there is a group of pagan who claim themselves to be a little like the native Red Indians of America...they watch a lot of Red Indian movies!!    Ohhh...they have rich folk dances ....vibrant weavers ...with natural motifs!! But in the middle of the foto is a Mataji who is a Vaisnava devotee  and she has brought members of her tribe to the temple.....we were so happy....we invited them to visit our temple more often.....its rare to find tribals of Manipur coming to the temple.

In one of the fotos, we have a group of little kids holding prasadam, that was a week back! Every Nagarkirtan is a different experience....unique everytime....but always blissful. We thank you so much Guru Maharaj.

We are getting greared for Yaosang.....the Sankirtan is mindblowing!! 

I remain your most fallen, ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - This news is sure to be so enlivening to our readers. Do you have little pamphets, cartoon drawings, based on BG and SB for distribution?

We are looking to organize a Manipuri dance program in the Temple in Mexico City on the 29th of April. That is the International Day of Dance. Can you help them? Can we make international exchange program? Students and teachers from Mexico and Manipuri, sen movie links, photos, samples of textiles, recipes....

Can you all help them?

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada, mis reverencia respetuosas al Movimiento Internacional para la Conciencia de Krishna

Su santidad, mi nombre es Mauricio Rojas Espinoza soy un Bhakta que estuve haciendo servicio en la finca de Nueva Mayapur en Ecuador durante 6 meses y me sienti muy entusiasmado leyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada , he leído todo el Bhagavad Gita ( y lo sigo releyendo), ahora estoy leyendo el Srimad Bhagavatan (me encuentro en el décimo canto Cap. 3 "Nacimiento del Señor Krishna" , verso 20) estoy muy inspirado con todos los libros de Srila Prabhupada y he comprendido que necesito avanzar espiritualmente, aceptar y rendirle servicio a un maestro espiritual y escuchar adecuadamente sus instrucciones. He escuchado algunas clases suyas las cuales me inspiran mucho más para adentrarme cada vez más en el camino para la conciencia de Krishna.
Ahora estoy viviendo en Lima -Perú dese hace dos semanas ya que por cuestiones económicas y laborales tuve que venir aquí donde tengo unos amigos que me ofrecieron una oportunidad laboral.
En la finca hable con varios devotos como Prabhu Sudama , madre Divya Priya y madre Laksmana con los cuales tengo una relación con ellos de mucho servicio y me están ayudando a comprender y aconsejar para poder avanzar en este camino . 
He escuchado algunas clases suyas su Santidad y me han inspirado mucho y me gustaría entablar una relación con usted y aceptar sus divinas instrucciones e incluso refugio para ser iniciado. Estoy cantando el Maha Mantra Hare Krishna  desde hace muchos años pero desde hace 1 año y un mese he estado cantando entre 16 y 20 rondas rondas diarias y mantengo un sadhana de levantarme muy temprano a cantar mis japas (3:30 am) y así poder cada vez más purificar mi alma y prestar el servicio en óptimas condiciones espiritual.
Quisiera preguntarle muy humildemente  ¿ Qué podría hacer para poder ser iniciado por usted?
Mis más sinceros agradecimientos por recibir esta carta, su sirviente Bhakta Mauricio Rojas Espinoza .

HpS - We are traveling so we only have moments for letters. Of course, it seems fine to do service in the Manor. I don't know the details. The most important thing is with whom you will work and not the project.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

HpS- What is your relationship with your father?   Do you have brothers?

Mostly I visit my father twice a month. He is dedicated to his sales business of natural and organic products. Whenever I visit him, we talk about different topics such as health, education, how to earn money-investments, national reality and family. He likes to read. He has bought many books for most of his life, so, through him, we knew Krsna consciousness. He was looking for Yoga-Asanas books and finally found Bhakti Yoga. He was regularly participating in the programs with the devotees. He sang 16 rounds for about 2 years. Then, great trials came into his life and he decided to depart from Krishna consciousness. He says: "Krishna Consciousness made me weak and I could not resist temptations", but we know that it is not true. He says: "The man himself is the one who chooses, decides and builds his own destiny." However, once he was very ill, he called me and asked me to be with him. He listened to the maha mantra for hours and drank maha water from Tulasi. We also did massages with Ghee to release energies. He doesn't want to accept that his Krishna consciousness is still there. We hope, in any moment, he would return to the devotees association and the process.

About my brothers. Henry is my older brother. He is very noble and likes to help others. He is supportive and always takes care of his family. He studied, for a while, psychology, sociology and electronic engineering, but he didn't finish any of the careers. Finally, he decided to have his own business of cell phones, tablets, laptops... He also likes music a lot. Since he was 12 years old, he plays different instruments: guitar, flute, quena, zampoña and electric organ. He likes prasadam very much. He listen to vedic philosophy and agrees on several aspects, but he doesn't want to be involved yet.

Guido is the second brother. He is very charismatic, charitable and generous. He is always looking for information about issues related to the unconscious-the mind, the conscience, the karma, the power of attraction ... He is on the search of finding a meaning to life. We always talk him about philosophy but he doesn't accept it easily. He prefers to be informed by several sources and try to apply what he believes convenient. He is also dedicated to his own technology business. He is very curious about electronic inventions.

They are both married and have children. They love prasadam. They are always taking care to m. Gauri.

Thank you very much, dear Guru Maharaja. Thank you very much for your holy association.

Trying to follow your instructions,

Tarangaksi Devi Dasi (t'aksi)

HpS - Super, super, super!!!   Thank you.  So nice to see you all.

pamho adorado gurudeva AG TO YOU AGTSP AGT SRI SRI RADHA MADHANA VIHARI

 I hope you are very happy in your wonderful and transcendental Krishna consciousness. With regard to my sadhana, I realized that I'm still the same, just half a mile and the other half not, because I'm in the little house. It's so small that I do not want to bother Frank. but now franco is very busy in making the mud house with trunks and bottles and is finishing, s small and lnda for a half rustic taste like mine. I also make an oven and cook wood, and when I distribute prasadam I think that he does sankirtan also in his hands. I will improve my sadhana now that I am recovering from the strong work of January, February.

on January 12, just the day of his birthday, pass a pretty strong test, which implied that he delayed me with my reports to you. Please, excuse me. Whenever hard situations happen to me, I can not speak, I'm speechless, my throat gets clogged with an extreme feeling of sadness. but ... now I see it as the hand of my sr. Krishna acting so that I wake up and always remember that this world is a prison. I try to feel the last verse of the sri sksastaka: you will be my lord even if you mistreat me with your abrazo or you destroy my heart, you will be my only love object. ... and remember it calms me and even gives me some happiness.

also remember the text 22 chap 1 of song 1 of the SB, where it says, that in this era the good feelings of the human being will be destroyed, but we have chosen His divine grace as captain of the ship to cross the dangerous ocean of kali. ..jay gurudev! Srila Prabhupada! thank you very much

increase the number of rounds after this test and I ask krsna intelligence to act in this world where you must be distrustful, measure everything you say and lie to take care of yourself. It costs me and it tires me to have all this. I only ask you, dear Gurudeba, to pray for us please, to have a good association and I thank you very much for this. I apologize if I committed any offense in this letter. Thank you for being in this world and taking care of us. I hope and always wish with all my heart, to be able to give back. The day of His appearance is the most important day of my life. All glories to January 12! please aveptereverencias defranco, gopalito and his attempt to disciple:

HpS - Hare Krsna. Thank you for your news, but now you are going to move to another city?
