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 Pran, Guruji Maharaja! Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that I am regularly practicing namajapa of 16 rounds or more and regular reading of Gita, Bhagavatam, and mainly BRS.

HpS - Jaya!!!   We just looked at www.jayarama.us, News, and in the Calendar section it gives the link to our current Calendar. There we have the suggested dates for India travel and Australia. Please give us any suggestions.

Last Sunday, 25th June, the auspicious Rathajatra day of Lord Jaganath-Balabhadra-Subhadra I took the responsible of narrating Bhagavatam 9.4.50-64. The Sudarsan Cakra of Bhagavan Sri Krsna, attacked Durbasa Muni for giving punishment of Maharaja Ambarisa. In the minds of the narration, from time to time, mentioned the necessity of a qualified Spiritual Master. The differences of Gita and Bhagavatam, Brahamanas and Vaisnaba. Durbasa Muni is a Brahamanas but not a Vaisnaba because he tries to attack a Vaisnaba.

HpS - Did you narrate alone or with others. Sounds like wonderful experience.

Guruji Maharaja! I know you are on the tour of different countries and very busy for interecting among the bhaktas but in such a tide [tight] programme you try to answer the bhaktas of N.E. India specially Sarada Gourangi D.D. and Rituraj Krsna Das. Sarada Devi is sending different pictures of different Radha-Krsna murties of different mandirs in Manipur and Rituraj Krsna Das invited Guruji in Shillong during Guruj’s India visit. Guruji Maharaja! I also want to know Guruj’s India programme, so please think of N.E. India and the desires of the bhaktas of Manipur. Yours fallen servant Yamunesvara Das

HpS - We are also your fallen servant. We just noted the link above for India. Does the North East fit in somewhere? Should we change the program?

It is so nice tO GET YOU ASSOCIATION,. WE WILL PUT NEWS IN A DTC NOW WITH SPECIAL INTERST FOR YOU.

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 Pran, Guruji Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja’s padamacharan that from today  I have started reading the book  "Bhakti-Rasamrta-Sindhu by Srila Rupa Gosvamami with commentary of Srila Jiva Gosvami & Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura translated into English by Bhanu Svami. Is this book Guruji mentioned some times back? 

It gives me a new test and the system is also a different model. The book is divided four parts (Eastern , Southern, Western and Northern ) Sections and  again the Sections are divided (First, Second, Third .... ) Waves. There are enough explanations but  the word meaning of the Sangskrt sloka is not. 

Guruji Maharaja, please help in reading this book whenever I have confusion and doubts.

The giver of Chandan Ladu in the mangalarati during Guruji Maharaja's tour programm  in Thoubal  Mandir. Nowadays, he is not in our team. His family members did not like to mix with us. Tow three times I went to meet him, but his family memberd did not permit him to meet me. I am very sorry, from that day I never go to  his house. His name is Jugalakishore Das.

Guruji Maharaja, please let us know Guruji's tentative India visit programme after getting information from Astralia and Dr. Samaras of Kolkata. As mataji Sarada Gourangi invited Guruji in Imphal we also wanted Guruji's service.

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - Hare Krsna. Sorry we are a little slow in answering.  One month!!!   SInce June 1st we are traveling on a tornado. If you can read the DTCs, Diarys of a Traveling Creature, you will see our program: Boise, San Jose, Seattle, Mexico Peru.... Good results.

I think I published our proposed India-Australia schedule in the last Kapi Dhvaja. I will look at it and then answer your next letter.

The BRS translated by Bhanu Swami is very nice, but also very strong reading for many. Don't be surprised if it goes slow. Of course, Srila Prabhupada's Nectar of Devotion. is a summary study in English and then Dhanurdhara Swami, Srila Prabhupada's disciples did a very, very useful commentary on Srila prabupadas book.

We would be very honored to answer some questions.

We are very sad that Jugala Kishora Das is a little away for some time. He should come back. Maybe he has to escape from his family like Raghuantha Das Goswami.

O.K.

We look at Kapi Dhvaja and your second letter.

hare krsna Maharaj,

PAMHO. AGTSP.

MY name is Vaishnavi dasi.  I want to know what i should do to be your student to learn Bhagavatam?

ys

vaishnavi dasi.

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada. We have many different courses for different Mahatmas. Who are your associates? Divine Masters?

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a su eterno sankirtana!!!

Hare krsna querido gurudeva pamho.

Fué un gran placer haberlo visto en lima y chosica, ahora estamos en Huancayo aquí con los programas del templo los miércoles y sábados, volver a la cosecha de maíz, abrir el restaurante, y seguir con la construcción para tener una base de sankirtana y tratar de hacer maratones con nuestro amigo B. Percy y la guía de p. Jagat Bandhu.

Mi sadhana aveces bueno y aveces mal, estos meses me he estado enfocando mucho en la colecta para la construcción de club gauranga krsna nos de inteligencia para que ésta casa sea exclusivamente para conciencia de krsna. Mi yapa ha bajado ahora solo estoy tratando de cantar 16 rondas pero tengo que mejorar, los 4 principios estrictos estamos dejando la comida envasada y tomando sólo prasadam de las silas, empezamos una dieta de sustituir el arroz blanco por menestras y ensaladas, comer mas frutas, jugos, jerminados y nada de frituras. Quisiera hacer Caturmasya gurudev que tan recomendable es???

HPS__NO SE ALGO ESPECIAL PARA CATURMASYA PARO NUESTROS DE ISKCON< PERO OTROS PUEDEN ENTENDER ALGO ESPECIAL DE SRILA PRABHUPADA>

Envío fotos de B. Lindsay ella distribuyó 200 libros en su universidad en 3 días ella quiere viajar con nosotros para hacer sankirtana porque tambien sale de vacaciones.

y tambien una foto de B. Yimi a él lo conocí en la calle dando libros, y él canta 16,rondas y aveces hace la puya y también cocina para las deidades

Gracias por la inspiración no sabemos aún si nos vamos de vacaciones por 2 meses de sankirtana y ver si en cochas bamba nos volvemos a encontrar, restaurante es agotador y como Ud. dice vacaciones en conciencia de krsna es cambiar de servicio

Hare krsna siempre.con ansias de volverlo a ver

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi

HPS _ ES SUPER SU REPORTAJE>.  PERO TODO MEJORAR CON BUENAS RONDAS Y TODO DISMINUA CON MAL RONDAS!!

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

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

 All glories to Gauranga.....we had a wonderful time last Sunday. We were about 90 of us and we really had a good time. By Guru Maharaj's mercy ,the  weather was so pleasant. Sending Guru Maharaj some pictures taken on that day.  

And you said, "But does that mean that the sacred hymns and chants are not really sacred? Are they just the chants to get things in this world, go to the realms of the Devatas? Is there something more?

And he said, "________________" Well,well just follow these instructions and I shall show you the tip of the iceberg".

              So there ,I was, with a whole lot of people waiting eagerly for his instructions.His first instruction was to listen to the sounds that would soon follow...

            The monk was seated in a raised platform and we were separated from the platform by a good 70 feet or so.

            And this Spirit  with all his outer coverings of flesh and blood did something magical. He started the invocations...." Yoga yoga Yogeshwara.....Bhoota Bhoota Bhooteshwara.....Kaala Kaala Kaaleshwara....Shiva Shiva Sarveshwara....Sambho Sambho Mahadeva.....". Again.....and again......and many, many more times....

The invocation was invigorating, as if a trillion cells suddenly woke up from deep slumber! Very soon, I saw Him as nothing but white, sparkling white light...just a ball of white light....and His chants continued...

His second instruction..." Everybody please close your eyes". We did as instructed.So slowly , I closed my eyes....and Lo!! my auditory perception became astoundingly clear...the greatest Vaishnava's vibration was all too clear...nothing short of the sounds of the distant waves in the ocean as we wait for the sun to rise! I lost my sense of time as the sounds of the roaring waves reached its cresendo ....and I was no longer aware of my material body and its surrounds. I did not know how long the bliss lasted. The monk disappeared after giving His third instruction..." keep calling out Sambho's name...till dawn".

      Blissful though the chants were,there was still an unimaginable longing for yet something forlorn....something primeval.......

      And as I slept off, I saw this indescribably beautiful lady with long hair, eyes looking towards East, so very beautiful..... Surprisingly the whole body was yellow and I said," Oh!! Mother!! You are so beautiful. How come you are so beautiful?" . There was absolutely no response...just a mesmerising smile....

   I woke up to the sounds of ...Isvarah paramah Krsnah

                                                        sac cid ananda vigrahah

                                                        anaadir aadir Govindah

                                                        sarva kaarana kaaranam....

I remain ,

your most fallen servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

 HpS - ASA -- I hope the DTC are sufficient to explain our situation. We are in continual travel from June 1st with heavy involvment at every step.

Hope Krsna can make use of us.

Thank you for your news.

Did you worship Siva, in your family, before you encountered ISKCON?

Have you read the description of his meeting with the Pracetas in the end of the Fourth Canto???    

Haré krsna Gurudev acepte mis humildes reverencias  Por favor.

Además Gurudev los devotos me han dado el servicio de coordinador del templo , yo espero tener sus bendiciones para pode servir a los e devotos adecuadamente . Hay muchas ideas con relación a l predica.
