PAMHO AGTSP!!

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!!


HK Maharaj!! How are you??


HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Dead and Alive!


Well I know you asked me to write to you in some weeks,

so this is a really brief letter.


Well we’ve been speaking for several year now like 4 or 5, and we met like 20 years ago, I follow your advice regularly, been following the regulative principles now again for some time, and been chanting my rounds regularly really early in the morning, so I would like to ask you for spiritual shelter.


HpS - That is the "dead" part as ISKCON diksa guru. We had to give up initiating people because of our old age, yet we recommend people like H. G. Radha-krsna Das here in Houston to do the job and H. H. Yadu nandana Swami in Spain.

Certainly other reasonable competent people to handle the formality and the personal work with practical perspective!

As Siksa guru, I guess we can continue forever if we get off the bodily platform. I mean the Gopis took Uddhava as their Guru, so I guess we can all accept other people as our Disciples as a service, no?

Do you know Yadunandana Swami?

Very wonderful, really humble person.


The other thing I would like to please ask you is the following: I’ve been trying to make some new friends, specially abroad (maybe in the US) so would you kindly recommend me some devotees to start a relationship?

thank you very much in advance and my very best regards!

Federico


HpS/ASA - What kind of 'friendship' do you want? What kind of service do you want to discuss?

Maybe some readers of us writers will right away want to write to you, right?

Let us go to the next two recent posts?

Thank you!!!!

News from Santiago de Chile

Dear Guru Maharaha, PAMHO, TLGTSP!!!

A few days ago I sent my annual report here in the blog “Reports”. However, I want to tell you about some activities from last year and some plans for 2025.

2024:


HpS/ASA - Thank you for doing both! As we commented in the Post by Dhannista Devi Dasi we are still trying to digest all the letters we received during Guru Puja etc. 🙂


- Main festivals (as as Janmastami, Gaura Purnima): I celebrated at home because I have been living far away for temple. I made garlands for my deities with flowers from my garden.


ASA - SUPER

We thin you have bought Krsna and Radha forever by that one act!


- Home preaching programs: with Nityananda Prana das organize a program for people interested in knowing about Krishna, and occasionally we organize programs with devotees.

- Bhakti Sastri Course: I started the course with P. Radhika Nagara das from Mayapur Institute, but I had to stop it. To return in march.


ASA - Did you return??? Is it fun?


- NIOS Chile: I wrote a review for Solaris and it was accepted. I also participated in Radhika Raman's visit to Santiago. I had the opportunity to do a Little service with my godbrothers: Arjuna das, Jagad Guru das, Priya Sakhi dd, Manjuali dd, Lalita Madhava das. Great souls.


ASA - Academics remember and contemplate these experiences forever.


- I traveled to Colombia to visit my family and Nityananda Prana das really liked the city. We were at a sankirtan on one of the main Street of the city.


ASA - One famous (infamous) devotee from Colombia told us that Columbia has the best fruit, the best coffee and the best cocaine (!! 😯) in the world.

He said that the last one made all the problems.


U. G./T. B. - Why doesn't the USA just legalize cocaine, like cigaretts, and then evaporate all the cartels?

If you are going to kill your self (it says so on tobacco). Then do it in a civilized fashion?

Maybe a stupid idea.


2025: I hope to continue participating in NIOS, reading and grow in my spiritual life, being useful in service. Nityananda Prana has really been a great partner for me. Always, I read your messages on X (twitter), blog and follow the post in ASA and others.


HpS - How have you found WhatsApp, anveSaka, Community, Group?



Infinitely grateful to you Gurudeva for being your disciple. Thank you for all!

 Your servant,

Damni dd


HpS - We feel very honored, undeservably honored, that anyone finds our discipline useful.

AgtSP....

Las Tres Verdades son Una

Om ajnana- timirandhasya jnanañjana-salakaya

caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah


Hare Krishna, Gurudeva, TLGASP,

Everything is going well here in Monterrey. The family is getting used to the region and the climate.

There are many turquoise rivers not far away.

Laksmi's earnings have also improved.

The challenges in the family never end.

Kunti is already learning to hold a pencil and is undergoing weaning; Mani Kundali is teaching her to offer and chant.

All my daughters are fine, I'm trying to distribute the Bhagavad Gita with a little sankirtan practice.

In the last 2 months, 20 Bhagavad Gita have been distributed and they are my greatest solace in the midst of the hurricane of the three modalities.

In relation to my sankirtan service, a couple of anecdotes: on Mother's Day a man said: "I already have a gift for my wife, but this Bhagavad Gita will be the extra, she likes yoga and everything from India."

On another occasion, I was talking in a pharmacy for 10 minutes with a saleswoman who in the end didn't take the book.

Then, when I was about to leave, a woman appeared and said: "I'm going to want the book." I was listening to everything you said, I like all those topics about the soul, I was on the other side of the aisle and I threw all the talk away.

Well, something is something.

The next test is Mani Kundali surgery on the morning of May 22nd.

We pray for your blessings for all to be well, and we deeply trust in obtaining Krishna's favor.

Thank you always, Gurudeva.

Your eternal servant, Sacinandan Das


HpS/ASA - How is your Mama???

If you can just go out on book distribution every day, few days a week, that is great.

Hope she has good consciousness in the surgery and leans more about Krsna's external energy and can preach to the hospital people by her words and actions.

Do you live near Gadai?

Hare Krisna, Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP y sus seguidores fieles.

Espero que se encuentre bien de animo cuando reciba este mensaje.

Nosotros bien gracias a Dios. La verdad es que, en general, no hay muchos cambios. Seguimos peleando por mejorar el canto, la escucha, la asociación, etc. y maya sigue proponiendo cosas estupidas para que no tengamos exito en nuestro objetivo.

Bueno, el otro dia vi una foto del Sat Sanga nuestro de hace mas de once años. Asi que ya llevamos doce años con el programa. Le informo de que nos hemos comprado una vivienda en Brihuega (pueblo). En coche, de madrugada, se tardan ocho minutos en llegar a la sala del templo. La verdad es que ya llevo cinco años jubilado y estoy proyectando la ultima etapa de la vida donde la vejez se manifiesta en toda su expresión, aumentando las enfermedades y minimizando la actividad de los sentidos. Esta vivienda nos permitirá visitar a las Deidades y devotos con mas frecuencia. A partir de este verano pasaré mas tiempo en Brihuega para acudir al programa de la mañana y tener mas asociación con devotos que se han tomado seriamente el proceso. En verano será mi residencia principal y en invierno también quiero, en la medida de lo posible, pasar mas tiempo cerca de las Deidades y devotos.

Quiero decirle que leo regularmente el blog y me siento feliz leyéndolo y meditando en las conversaciones que se publican. No siento mucha necesidad de participar hablando. Estoy tratando de mejorar la calidad de la "escucha". También, todos los domingos que puedo me uno a la clase de CC de Upendra y SB de usted. Es una forma de reunión internacional sistemática e interesante. Aprecio mucho los dos programas (blog y clase) y me siento agradecido por ello.

No me extenderé mas de lo necesario y espero, si Dios quiere, que nos volvamos a ver con estos cuerpos o con otros.

Hare Krishna, Gurudev: Pamho. TgSP and his faithful followers.

I hope you are in good spirits when you receive this message.


HpS/ASA - 🐵

..... 🐖

🐖

... Our spirit is moderately strong. 🙂


We are doing well, thank God.

The truth is, in general, there haven't been many changes.

We continue to strive to improve our chanting, listening, association, etc., and Maya keeps proposing stupid things to prevent us from achieving our goal.



Well, the other day I saw a photo of our Sat Sanga from over eleven years ago.

So we've been with the program for twelve years now.

I want to inform you that we have bought a house in Brihuega (a village).

By car, in the early morning, it takes eight minutes to get to the temple hall.

The truth is, I've been retired for five years now and I'm planning the final stage of life where old age manifests itself in all its expression, increasing illnesses and minimizing the activity of the senses.

This house will allow us to visit the Deities [Radha Govinda-candra!] and devotees more frequently.

Starting this summer, I will be spending more time in Brihuega to attend the morning program and associate more with devotees who have taken the process seriously.


ASA - We who are beasts salute you!!! 🐶

In the summer, it will be my primary residence, and in the winter, I also want to spend more time with the Deities and devotees as much as possible.


I want to tell you that I read the blog regularly and feel happy reading it and meditating on the conversations posted. I don't feel much need to participate by speaking. I'm trying to improve the quality of my listening. Also, every Sunday I can, I join Upendra and SB's CC class. It is a systematic and interesting form of international gathering. I greatly appreciate both programs (blog and class) and am grateful for it.


I won't go on any longer than necessary, and I hope, God willing, that we will meet again with these bodies or with others.

Your servant


Jayanta das


HpS - You are like Clint Eastwood: You don't talk much, but when you talk, your pistol speaks for you!

How are Nimai and Sarasvati growing?

Is The Purnamasi Devi Dasi going to retire from teaching soon?

She could teach in Brihuega, no?


For me, and I think many more people, your association and perspective are essential. Thank you.

Any more writing on The Lives of the Saints?

Vyasa Puja Offerings

Hare Krishna, Srila Gurudeva

Please accept our sincere and humble obeisances 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙇‍♂️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and


All glories to you Gurudeva!!


Dhanya’s(My daughter 11 yrs) offerings on the most auspicious day of your Vyasa puja celebration in Richmond.



🙌👏🏻Hare Krishna Dear Maharaj…👏🏻🙌

Please accept my humble obeisances.🙏🙇🏻‍♀️

Ever since I first listened to your classes, I really wanted to get initiated. Maharaj, you have so much talent. Anyone that listens to at least one of your lectures will always learn something new about themselves and about Krishna consciousness. You have a phenomenal sense of humor.


hps//asa - we just, agtsp, talk about what we see... !.


Every time you are in Richmond, our iskcon community always blossoms in some way.


Another way you are

very memorable to me was when you gave me my very first chanting bag and a tiny Japa mala with 27 beads when I was 5 years old.

Also when I came to the iskcon of Houston temple, you gave me a peanut butter cookie and it was very very delicious,

but the only reason it was very amazing was probably because you yourself gave it to me.

I had many other memories with your association,

like when you came to my house.

I also remember every time there is Mangal aarti,

I am always the closest person sitting near you while chanting.

Thank you so much for being so merciful and compassionate to me and thank u for everything else.


🙏🙏Your servant and grandchild 🙏🙏


Dhanya 😊🙏🙇🏻‍♀️


Your insignificant Servant,


Rama Krishnananda Das

Richmond.


hps /// asa ----- thank, agtsp, you danya et al.

sorry it has taken so long to answer, but we are living in a suburb on the island of dvaraka in the forest and it takes a long time for the duck to deliver the mail here.


we get stuff and it is very nice.

any mail that arrives here is not ordinary.

dvaraka makes all the mail super real.

seeing krsna

seeing god

he gives us even a little nod

and
