I failed to mention before

Hare Krishna Maharaj, just a few more things that I failed to mention before.

I will read the Guru-tattva tonight.

I will attempt to read from SB everyday. 

Thank you so much Maharaj!

Hare krishna,

-Nick 

HpS - Thank you. For the rigid practitioner, success is guaranteed. We will be playing music for Radha Krsna in Srila Prabhupada's band. Last letter.

Urgent

Hare Krishna,
PAMHO AGTSP!
I am still doing music but not traveling so much. Been focusing on piano mainly. I am finally starting to see how the bar atmosphere is not conducive to spiritual life. So I try and get in and out of there as fast as I can. 
I failed to mention in my update that I have been attending Mangal Aarti at the boise temple twice a week. And every morning on the way to work at 6am, I (and Aja every other week) listen to the Mangal Aarti prays sung by HG Swarupa Damodar Das and Prabupadas version as well. I am trying to commit the prayers to memory and also understand the meaning of the words.
Lately I’ve been very inspired by Prabhupada’s Lilamrta.
I’ve started a new job at Micron as an industrial carpenter. It’s the first steady job that I’ve had in a long time and I am learning to appreciate the strict schedule. The consistency is proving to be helpful in many ways but it all depends on how early I get up and if I chant at least eight rounds before I go to work. What helps tremendously is if I take simple and light prasadam early in the evening. This makes all the difference. You told me this once and I’ve known it to be true but now I am really putting it to the test. 
I recently purchased a copy of the Srimad Bagavatam First canto. A friend has been sending verses and purports and we have been discussing via text. But this is not frequent enough so I need to read more on my own. 
Thank you Maharaj for your responses. I will keep you updated more frequently.
Hare Krishna, Hari Bol!
-Nick 
HpS - O.K. We'll look at the other letters.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaj HpS! Please accept our humble obeisences at Your lotus feet.

Hare Krishna Guru Maha

We hope Guru Maharaj is fine there. Hope this letter find You in the best of Spiritual health. We miss You so much Guru Maharaj. Thank You so much for Your boundless mercy. We had prepared  2 videos and as requested by Asta akhi [sakhi] mataji we have sent some high resolution photos too. Gadadhar Prabhu and JaiBhim Das did most of the compilation. We had sent to Dolores Mataji [She is Lalita gopi Devi Dasi. She is senior professor at Monterey Tech. Second biggest university in Mexico!!] as the files are big and we had to use Google drive. We are sending the links of the videos https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ruNRiHmCh-m3Reu7B7VWNrufGM-qnD2s/view    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PyNhv8x55ug02Z6WkSs30U_Xh8wQiViC/view . Kindly let us know what we can do to serve you better. The duration is slightly longer than what we had planned .  We are leaving everything to Guru Maharaj for the necessary corrections.

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Hare Krsna. After two months of hard travel with no health problems we finally got some fever and influenza. We have fought it with yoga nad are winning. Thank you so much and the other devotees, Bhima, Gadadhara, for the effort. We hope this will be the start of a very effective cultural exchange between Manipur and Latin America. We will let you know the results.

Checking in

Hare Krishna Maharaja, AGTSP PAMHO

First off, I would like to thank you for your response to my last post and tell you that I am still following strictly and chanting 16 rounds everyday. I am still doing service at the Boise temple and now I am attending Ananta Rupa’s BG class every Friday. I am also starting the disciples course on The Bhaktivedanta College(Radhadesh) website.

HpS - AGTSP!   Paoho. My God!   You are an example for 100-million Americans! Still doing music?

I have not had a computer for the last few months so it has been a challenge to stay connected to the blog here but now with a new phone I should be able to check in more frequently.

HpS - Super!   Pretty essential. You can even beg access from somebody once a month.

I have been watching your classes on YouTube every week and I look forward to your visit this year. Please let me know what further steps I should take to become your disciple. 

Hare Krishna 

-Nick

HpS - Did you read the Guru-tattva at our web page? The link is in the "News" letter each issue?  We are just struggling to serve Srila Prabhupada, so it looks like you are doing the practical work of cleaning your heart and getting back to Goloka!  Are you getting up early, 1-1/2 hours before sunrise, for Brahma muhurta, Mangala arati, doing study of SB daily? These are requirements. Without the regular morning program we can't really chant enthusiastic rounds.

Personal Sadhana and Mandir report of THOUBAL

All Glories to Sri A.C. Prabhupada Maharaja, Sri Sripada Maharaja, Sri HpS Maharaja Ki Jay!

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay and Gourabhakta Vrnda Ki Jay!

Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja’s padmacaran  that I  could not get any reply of three letter written after returning from Navadwip Prikrama. I am so eager to hear Gurujis amritabani like a fish without water.

HpS - AGTSP!!  Paoho.  We feel the same way, but this USA/South America Tour is so intense. We are doing even four programs in one day. In in six days we were in six different cities and six different airplanes. Very good result but no chance to do mail!!

Ambarisa das and Madhavendra puri Das and their families who came to Manipur with us a few years ago and stayed in the Nature Cure Ashrama have pictures of Manipur on there walls at home and send their best wishes to everyone. 

As Guruji is so busy all the time, it may be the reason but for the last 2 to 3 weeks I could not hear any good news. I regularly watching the blog and see other's reply. Is there any commit mistake from my side. If so, please excuse  and guide us all the time. May Radha & Krsna bless Guruji.

Yours fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Of course there is no mistake on your side!   We just answer letters marked "Urgent" and then pick some here and there by random.  There two pages of letters we have not answered yet!

We think Gaurangi is in communication with the devotees in Mexico for World Dance Day and maybe it will be the start of some cultural exchanges, even of university students. You are the good news. Manipuri Sanskriti is the good news!

What is Yatra news!

I know you are giving classes!!
