This is rough, I really do hate child abusers, they destroy all in our lifes, this new document: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvlRAyM3p4Q

HpS - We started to look at the video. About 16-minutes. It is very long and again ISKCON is so big. In Berkeley during this period we started to have a Gurukula but saw we couldn't handle it so it was discontinued. Each center is Incorporated independently. We are trying in so many ways to deal with this problem, the problem of stealing of money form ISKCON construction projects going to people's private homes, wife abuse, husband abuse, brahma'cari abuse.
We read the whole Child Protection Manual, about 35 pages and made suggestions. They weren't followed. 

Maharaja; maybe the TOVP as a craft is better idea, and if ISKCON is so corrupted as the documentary shows clearly, made by bhaktas: can we then use ISKCON anymore. Wouldn't that be aparadha to Srila Prabhupada?

HpS - We feel that there are many aspects of ISKCON.  It is like saying that I should not call myself and American because of all the stuff that goes on in America, but still I use a USA passport. If asked, "Are you from America?" we would respond, "We are from California".  We could deal with that kind of identification better. Even in the first few minutes we saw a few things that we would disagree with.
On the other hand there have certainly been real abuse of power, big, little, punctuated and extended. How can we help?  Where is best place for us to attack?    Right now I see the GBC is no less perfect than I am in trying to deal with these problems, so we support them as we understand who they really are.
We are certainly not 100% correct. Need simple more direct information.

 Hail Monkey Swami!!!!

seeing your tide up schedule we refrained from writing to you.  our mind thinks  its good time to communicate with you.

at this moment of writing letter to you we are little disturbed as we just read news of that in Iceland is promoting pre natal abortion/murder of down syndrome children..... all we can remember that you said people killed like this are not innocent.  and people in higher planets becoming remorse by looking at pain of others.
i dont know what can be done immediatley to relieve suffering people,  but one think is sure " take more responsibility of spiritual life".

ASA - Aaacha!   Very good. How can we see the seeds of this murder in our own habits and change it.


ii.  Once your grace told blog 

" <style type="text/css"> </style> O.K. We have to learn how to get strength from local devotees. We don't think that the traffic lights in the street are great devotees, but we take so much instruction from them. We risk our lives following their instructions: Go, Stop! So learn to understand the good and bad qualties of devotees and then use that to help you obtain the ultimate aim of life described by Lord Caitanya". 
You also said that as madhyam adhikari we avoid the demon part in devotees..

can you please elabore this more, how can one avoid faults of devotee  especially when they are in authority?

,, ASA,,, - ONce upon a time there was a Temple President named Daksa. He was a great Sankirtan man, Visnu Yajna, but he believed you could do any bad thing to devotees as long as you were doing Sankirtana and that Visnu would ignore it.
He had his hard-drive extracted by Lord Siva and had to use a USB drive after that.
How did people deal with Daksa, Vena, Indra when he was proud. The Bhagavatam is full of stories abou this.  What is your authorities good nature (3 things), what are his bad qualities (1-thing), and how is this God's arrangement?

iii. Our son was asking how can he know "thoughts in his head are, during thinking or dreaming" can you give any answer ?

ASA - Can you please clarify the question?

iv. we want to get intitated, but our integration with local temple is little fuzzy, as we will be moving to delhi in some time. However we have nice bonding one of disciples of H H Radhanath Maharaj, started temple in Kolhapur. 
our rounds are more steady. fourth rule is much better. morning program is also improving.

regarding disciple course, i dont know how much time we can devote. But as you have ordered we will do it surely even if lately.
ASA - Apparently it is available on line and a simple good course.

v. we have started teaching in university near rohini temple in delhi and we are in mumbai on non teaching days. We teach psychology (management perspective) to under grads. we can see that we can shape their thoughts.

ASA - Any video clips for them on the YouTube? Give your rat a cookie, give your rat a clam, and he will be a good employee and never steal you jam, Skinner.

remembering you and following your vani

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja,

Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Prabhupada

All Grories to Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay

Radha Krsna Ki Jay,

Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja,

HpS - ASA Dandavat Pranam to you also!!!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's Padamacharan that I had talked with Harida Svami about Guruji's Nort East India Tour recebtly. He is comming Imphal on the 28th August and a final tentative programme will be finalized. According his suggestion, for Manipur we need five full days including one day for Imphal. The Silchar programme suggested by Krsnamurti Das of Silchar could not be final because there in Silchar only several places needed Guruji's presence.

As Guruji suggested, this time we want to organize  a programme of some selected degree students specially youths and a discussion about NOI, the four principles of ISKCON etc. and a grand Nagar Kirtan, Prasadam distribution etc. Bonomali Prabhu also wants to visit some new places projected for ISKCON such as Kakching, Serou, Moirang, Moreh etc. 

ASA - Of course, we have fixed the dates: Arrive Imphal, the Great, August 1st, leave for Kolkata the Smaller, August 4th.  If you can give the Sarad-gaurangi Devi Dasi help you can probably organize some very fun and revolutionary things.

Now I am reading the Bhakti Rasamrita Singhu regularly but slowly. 

ASA - What part?   Is very intense book.    Do you have Srila Prabhupada's Nectar of Devotion?

Please convey to Haridasa Svami also about Guruji's suggestions.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das.

All Glories to GouraNitay

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

All Glories to you Maharaj

Please accept my humble reverence and forgive me for my affront because of my ignorance.

HpS - ASA -- You got affront, but I assure that our affront is so much worse!      '@'jmj~

I am Dandakaranya Das, thank you for initiating me, I'm really happy.

ASA - We are Monkey/Piggy. We are wiry and fat. Thanks for being initiated.

My life changed and my service too. Now I'm doing service on the kitchen. I'm cooking for Deities at midday on Sundays. My sadhana is getting up at 6 am everyday and chanting at least 8 rounds then I get ready for work. However I still have a kind of pain in my heart that bothers me. I thought that the fire ceremony would finish it. What should I do to finish or control these torments from my heart?

ASA - Have more fire sacrfices: 2nd initiation, 3rd initiation, ...  125th iniation.   The Gopis have pain in Their hearts still, but is better pain: "The land, the cows, the buffalos and the trees, are all unlimited nectarean seas, of the most intense mellows of spiritual pain, something which only the most fortunate ever obtain."

Happy Balaram Purnima and Happy Janmastami. 

Thank for letting me to serve on your lottus feet and the Parampara.

Haré Krishna

HpS - ASA --- Lettuce feet AND  P A R A M P A R A !    What do you cook for Crnsa on Sunday.   Gaura Nitai don't eat it. They give it to Krsna!

All the Glories to Srila Prabhupada!! Truly the biggest teacher. Adn ofcourse his disciples are even better.

Govarhana makes the emerald dreams !! I was thinking the 8 guardian elephants and maybe Airavata, even, I am thinking the center of the Kunda and some form is coming out of it. And it shows the 8 guardian elephants gold plated with simple electro gold plating system. yes. Jaya the emerald dreams. I wish they never ended. Even though saphire may be closer still to Krishna. But I am so sure that emerald fits this Hill the best. Isn't transcendence known of it's coolness? Felt like it. Didn't Krishna say that from material elements He is the electricity? And from elephants: "Of horses, know Me to be the nectar-born Uchchaihshravas; of lordly elephants, Airavata and of men, the monarch." HK

ASA - Dink!   Ring-Eee Plunk!!!  All my brains into Indra's Emeral Visnu pool have sunk!    How will I find my way home again.  Well many of my friends are already dead, so I won't miss seeing them then.

Please accep my obeisances to your feets of lotus!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

AL Glories to Radha Madhana bihari!

Thank you for putting that title Gurudeva !!

It made me laugh a lot!

Once I heard of lotus lips that if one gets up one day late .. two days .. mm but three or more the witch is controlling us or something. So I will continue to fight with extreme firmness today I was getting difficult to fast .. lately I am tired but it will pass. And read your answer I took away the hunger todi !!

Jay gurudeva !!

I want to tell you some dreams ... some were long ago .. I was embarrassed to tell them .. today encourage me .. like three times dream with chosica:

-first dream that srimari radharani was coming down from the altar to dance to Madhana Bihari !! It was so exciting to see that !! Again I saw that srimati radharani was a teenager dancing in the center of the devotees !!!

-In another time I saw a rathayatra where you were and many devotees! Then I saw myself in a temple in India. I was in the group of devotees and I saw you in the group of devotees and you radha japa can sing or dance I do not remember and I thought of the dream .. how do I dance in this place so sacred yo ?? And above so many good vailarinas here .. but the mercy of Gurudeva is so great I thought and I will receive it! So I did!

-As a week ago I dream of mother astasakhi, I was going to see a ratha yatra in the beach and you were there, I advise that sri color is good for a festival ratha yatra and m astasakhi helped me.

-I also remember having dreamed of You in India. I was going to dance and you went into the dressing room where there were many dancers and an older mother helps me to change. You gave me your blessings for the dance and went with the audience. I went dancing and I saw it in the audience and I thought how lucky I am to have a Guru like you who inspires so much in my service !!!

-And today at the dawn of janmastami he dreamed that he was in the pujari de chosica and offered five mechitas of guee to sri sri RMV was so happy to be there. I was with my friend gopi priya (PS) we were happy to be there. She is a friend with whom we escaped in the middle of the night to go to Chosica .. sometimes the mothers ashram was closed and we slept on the bench near to Garden of the ashram under the starry sky of chosica. All we wanted was to be there with SSRMV and with the devotees. they saved my life.

-Only today I wish to thank you for allowing me to celebrate in my heart this special date of the day of the advent of sri krsna. I will try more inspired the avatar avatar stotra in manipuri dance style (style that I fall in love with more and more) and read with my family the hobby.

I will cook an offering and dance for my lord of lotus-eyes. I only ask you to pray for me so that He always looks at me, so that I can always remember loving him more than anyone (not confusing me more) and serving him lovingly. All this can be possible by His grace GM you can turn melechas like me into whatever you want. [AGTSP!]

That is its power. your aspirante to servent:

Japa prati jalpa Radha dd

HpS - ASA --- Thank you!     "You know I've heard of Their romance, but I've never actually seen Them dance", Mangala ananda Das' song.   We just litle donkeys like you in the long line of little donkeys carry pnuts back to Goloka, but Srila Prabhupada is the caravan manager. Follow the donkey in front of you.
