All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!  

Please accept my humble obeisances! 

I go to a public school Maharaj and I study the following subjects: English, Maths B, Legal Studies, Philosophy, Chinese and Diploma of Business.

HpS - ASA -- Incredible.  What are you plans?   It seems like you might go into the diplomatic corp or go into international business and ecology programs.

At the moment, I'm not entirely sure what I want to pursue in the future but I do know that a Business degree is a very broad option that may lead to several different careers that I may use in Krsna's service.

HpS - My question is answered but we addes a couple of ideas.

I know my father always had a desire to open a restaurant or go into the food business, so I do wish to fulfil that at some point. But my mother says it will be like a hobby, secondary to my primary job (steady income). So I still need to study something and perhaps once I'm established, then I can think about prasadam distribution (either in a food van/stall or a restaurant called "Krishna's Kitchen").

Otherwise, I hope this year will reveal to me what I deeply have interest in so that I may be prepared for University. 

As for drama teachers, there weren't enough students who displayed interest to take the subject, so in our grade, we don't have drama.

Maharaj, may you bless me with your knowledge and expertise to guide me to a path in which I may enjoy and use it as my service to Lord Krsna. 

Hope your health is in good, healthy condition always! 

Hare Krsna!! 

Yours servant,

Lakshmi Devi Dasi

HpS - The real thing is coming out of our addiction to the material world. In philosophy did you study Plato's allegory of the cave?  We gave the allegory of the cell phone. These bodies are proectors - shadows or smart phone, the movie making machinery behind the thin covering reveals that. We are not these kindeys.

So real life means waking up.

We can play in the drama to help others wake up, preaching, we can play in the drama to stimulate our desire to return to the real world.
For that there is Varna-ashrama-dharma and with psycho-social position as a woman then the natural ashramas are brahmacarini, grhasta and vanaprasta. Always Krsna is our first love, so he sends a nice partner and we both realize that this ashrama is for purification. Natural dharma for women in Vedic culture is to thank Krsna for arranging a nice partner, with a nice family and then use that nice situation to do her part to send them all back home, back to godhead, and let the gopis sort them out.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS. PAOHO.

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Getting so excited for the Second initiation. Praying for all the mercy from Guru Maharaj for bestowing enough strength  so that this ignorant servant gets some service . Yes Guru Maharaj, we are getting Bhakti Shastri classes from HH Haridas Maharaj. Sincerely wish to join the full 4 months course conducted at Mayapur but Institute won't allow leave of absence for that period of time. Thinking about online course.

Guru Maharaj, praying for mercy for my japa. Feel satisfied only after chanting 30 or more rounds....if 16 rounds are not completed in the morning , I feel sort of irritated for no reason. On Ekadashi it feels so good.

Just working on a plan to open a congregation centre near our hospital. Looking for a place on rent.Our students are relatively free after their classes end at 4pm. Planning to start daily evening kirtan by 4.30pm followed by Prasadam distribution. As we have holidays every second saturday of the month, we plan to have Gita classes on this day. Almost every year we lose students to suicide. MBBS is a tough course with so much pressure and we wish to help them in some way.Seeking advice from Guru Maharaj. Kindly help us.

HpS - We don't have much to say. The effort seems perfect!    Krsna will do the magic.   His decisions are always magic, whether they are what we want or not.

We had wonderful kirtan last Sunday....as we started from the local Radha Gopinath and Radha Madhav temples, we were literally dragged in from one house to another.....we had kirtan in all the houses we were invited ...so much so that we did not have time for nagar kirtan...felt so sad. Prabhu Banamali suggested we go for Nagar kirtan at the same place next Sunday.

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Our local Tennessee devotees want to visit Manipur in the middle of October?   Is that a good time?  Is it too cold???   Of course, they want to see the Vaisnava culture.

<var>Hare Krsna Maharaja!!!</var>

<var>Reciba por favor mis humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto....</var>

<var>Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!</var>

<var>Maharaja estoy en chosica,viviendo en casa de prabhu Kanupandit, asisto al programa, solicite servicio a madre Nitya Kinkari, me dio servicio haciendo guirnaldas y entrando al Pujari como ayudante....tambien me ofrecio vivir en el ashrama.</var>

<var>Mis rondas Maharaja siento han mejorado,pues me doy cuenta sonrio mucho cuando canto y me gusta cada vez mas cantar.....16 rondas 4 principios cumplidos cada dia con gusto,sabe maharaja los principios ya no se sienten como una obligacion,es algo mas normal parte del dia a dia....trato de conectarme siempre a startmetting cuando no lo hago es porque sigo en el templo.</var>

Lectura esta algo floja ,porque recien termine de desempacar,se que no es excusa ,para proximo reporte habre retomado.

HpS  -  El libro KRSNA!

Me causo mucha emoción ver a la madre Nitya Kinkari despues de tanto tiempo y a otras madres y tener su asociacion nuevamente,Las cosas han mejorado muchisimo para mi,en todo sentido,no tengo mayores necesidades,tengo todo y más....y hare todo para que asi continue.

Muchas gracias maharaja por eatar siempre pendiente,por reaponder las cartas,sus sabias palabras y consejos o recomendaciones....disculpa si al escribir no uso palabras más bonitas o elaboradas,solo escribo lo que pienso y siento en ese momento.

Perdona por favor mis ofensas,mis metidas de pata,mis caidas,mi mala cabeza,mi falta de control,soy alguien que algun dia espera poder servirte y serte util en este moviento de Sankirtana...espero con ansias verlo pronto.

Bhaktin Amparo

HpS - Jaya!!   En otro nivel!!!     Esperamos mucho entusiasmo por el templo en Chosica.

All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Krsna

I offer my obeisances to "my" Gurupadapadma

Patita pavana Hanumatpresaka Swami.

Srila Gurudeva, just to inffor You that I am doing well with principles and chanting 16 round  of the maha mantra that You gave me. Thanks for that gift. Now I am reading Caitanya Bhagavata, Antya Lila chapter five, when I finish reading the book I will startwith the Sri Caitanya Caritamrta a second time according to Your instructions. I am happy knowing that You are going to stay in South America from 2019.

Srila Prabhupada mentions many books  at the end of Sri Caitanya Caritamrta,  will not reach time in this life, I wish to advance longe before my next  demise.

HpS - Krsna keeps writing, doing, more and more books. We have to look at them in general and then chose some in particular, talk with others about their books, no?

I hope to be useful, servant of  Your servant, amalakaruna das.

HpS - It is so good to be getting regular news from you.  I know Mathuresa Das is trying to work out your relation with the temple is Cusco.  We can reach the whole world just by preaching in Cusco,no!  Do that!

A gbc homo(status)puppet, ass full of this friendly little stuff: little little,, hope not so little, that they will eat you, haha:

 Those who are mad after capturing and enjoying the imitation peacock, as well as those who have a pessimistic view of the imitation peacock but lack any positive information of the real peacock—both are illusioned by the modes of material nature.
Mukunda-mala-stotra mantra 3, Purport:

The material nature is not at all beautiful, for it is an "imitation peacock." The real peacock is a different thing, and one must have the sense to understand this. Those who are mad after capturing and enjoying the imitation peacock, as well as those who have a pessimistic view of the imitation peacock but lack any positive information of the real peacock—both are illusioned by the modes of material nature. Those who are after the imitation peacock are the fruitive workers, and those who simply condemn the imitation peacock but are ignorant of the real peacock are the empiric philosophers. Disgusted with the mirage of happiness in the material desert, they seek to merge into voidness.

One should be very much pessimistic of this material world.
His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada's Disappearance Day, Lecture -- Los Angeles, December 9, 1968:

There is nothing good within this material world; everything is bad. So we have manufactured something good and something bad. Here... Because in the Bhagavad-gītā we understand this place is duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam (BG 8.15). This place is for misery. So how you can say, in miserable condition, how you can say that "This is good" or "This is bad." Everything is bad. So those persons who do not know—the material, conditional life—they manufacture something, "This is good, this is bad," because they do not know everything here is bad, nothing good. One should be very much pessimistic of this material world. Then he can make advance in spiritual life. Duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam (BG 8.15). This place is full of miseries, and if you study analytically, you'll find simply miserable condition. Therefore the whole problem is that we should give up our material conditional life, and in Kṛṣṇa consciousness we should try to elevate ourself to the spiritual platform and thereby be promoted to the kingdom of Godhead, yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāmaṁ paramaṁ mama (BG 15.6), where going, nobody comes back to this miserable world. And that is the supreme abode of the Lord."

HpS - Thank you. In the Hitopadesa the King of the Deer tells the King of the Turtles (or the other way around )as we remember) that this material world is a tree and all the fruits are bitter or poisonous, except for two

Happy Birthday to Huber Hutchin Robinson

HpS - He is a unique ass.

Thanks for you nice reply to   my annual report.  It was very touching when I read Krsna misses U… I will focus more on my 16 enthusiastic rounds, and the rest will follow.

HpS - He does. Don't [too] shy.

I have some issues about keeping good association, some of the authorities in general do not inspire me at all, generally I do not go to the temple, just for me service and festivals no more.  I am going to go to the temple this Monday to take prasadam with one Bhaktin who is living there and my friend Krsna sevini dd (JPS) I guess that I have to do something about this issue, if I want to have changes.

HpS - I was in that mood at one moment and Sesa Das said, "They are people!".   <img alt="cheeky" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/tongue_smile.png" title="cheeky" width="23" />  Oops.   I smiled and shook my head. They are not supposed to be what I think they should be. Most likely I have as many faults as other people and as many good qualites, just in a different position. So, try to help those who need it, take help from those who can do it, and be friends for Krsna with my peers, pears, bears...

My service is the same: Once a month pujari in Wilson, once a month in Chosica, and helping for the festivals in pujari and as advertisement as well.

HpS - That is good.    Are you on an endless journey or work with the universities, or can you see how you can adjust to a sane level of work (and do sankirtan there)?

 Bhakt Sastri tutor (Spain, Cochabamba and Mexico)

I have good news ¡¡¡¡¡ After 15 years as regular teacher in Alas Peruanas University , this year I am going to be hired as a full time professor , I will teach mathematics, English as well, and also help with administrative work, etc. In addition, in Jaime Bausate y meza University today in your Birthday I am starting a summer course Basic English II. With that I can give more support to my mom and sister. I guess that I have too much male energy  jaja. On the other hand I hope to be with U as much as I can, in March my schedule will be full, but when one wants to have your saint association Krsna makes the arrangements.

HpS - "My little girl is a Professor!"   Your Papa must be happy with you!

Talking with ARTD, LAD at all about calendar development... That helps our utsahan ¡¡¡ hope to be useful.

HpS - There is a letter from the Isvari Devi Dasi with some proposals and details.  More!

I also continue training and helping people with holistic therapy I attend seminars to be more and more professional and now I make soap as well.

HpS - Monkey and Piggy use soap, hand soap and dish soap.

On February 14^th I am going to travel to Trujillo the Birth place of my dad, I did not know it, so I will go to a resort next to the beach for some tourism and relax, the city is so stressing, pollution, bad smells, noise.. too much, then I may be energized for this semester. I will join FMP that is not negotiable. We will carry SP Books for our trip.

HpS - If you go swimming you will have to have to wear a disguise or your fotos will be published all over the internet. <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />  <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />  <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />  <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" />  <img alt="laugh" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/teeth_smile.png" title="laugh" width="23" /> 

Taking Ulysses?    No...      Bring him a present.   A nice smelling stick from the beach. Does he ever run on the beach?

This year I want to travel to new places maybe next year to India January and February hope to find a good group or partner.

HpS - Don't go to India.... go to Vrndavana!   Mayapura!!!

PS: Is there some aroma that Nrismhadeva or U like??

HpS - We like manly smell life catsup and black pepper.

Thank U for your support and blessings

See U pretty soon

Your useless servant
