All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Dandavat Pranam Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances


Dear Gurudev

I hope you are in better health, we are praying for it every day.


hps//asa - the material body does not get diseases, the material body is a disease. 🙂

by his divine grace👍 our material diseases are good friend in purifying our soul 🎵 of it's material attachment. we welcome them!


Here we are, continuing with the distribution of prasadam with Manjuali, some days with successful distribution and other days a little slower.


I resumed my studies just this year, I am in the fourth year of Safety Engineering, a great process of organization and knowledge refreshment, praying to the Lord to keep my practices constant.


Manjuali has also decided to continue her studies, now she is studying social work, she has successfully passed her first year.


We are fixed with daily worship at home and some days in the temple, being represented by Manjuali for now.


The relationship with the temple authorities is good and I collaborate when I have the chance.


I hope to continue seeking the perfection of serving your lotus feet dear guruji, I need your help and instructions very much to follow the mission of this life.

At your service

Lalita Madhava Das (Chile)

PS: The name of our service is "VRAJA", we were thinking of modifying it so that people receive blessings when they read and pronounce it. Do you have any suggestions?


ASA -vraja is nice, no?


a variation of 'gaur-anga' might be better?


thank you all!!!!! thank you. make many friends from K. C. perspective in school, no?

Recibimos regalos

¡Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

Querido Gurumaharaja 

Por favor acepte nuestras respetuosas reverencias.

Muchas gracias por su sagrada asociación que diariamente nos da, que el Señor Nrisimhadeva lo proteja, nos alegra saber que hay devotos y doctores cualificados junto a usted, muchas gracias a ellos, todo médico o enfermero ansia servir a un soldado del Señor Caitanya que a veces necesita curar algunas heridas de batalla para continuar, ellos son muy afortunados. 

Houston parece ser una buena base para su sankirtana.


Nosotros podemos estar causando inconvenientes a usted cuando no somos serios en la vida espiritual, por favor perdone la carga que representamos, por su misericordia estamos esforzándonos en ser fieles a nuestros votos que prometimos en la ceremonia de iniciación para que UD pueda servir el contrato de Śrīla Prabhupāda con Krsna. 


Llegó Govardhana shila al altar del templo, con un mensajero de honor Su Gracia Deena bhandu prabhu, Gurumaharaja recordamos su instrucción y cuidados de adoración con nuestros votos al igual que a Sus Señorias Radha y Krsna, bendiganos con amor y devocion por favor.


Gurumaharaja queremos informar que hemos recibido algunos regalitos que envió con Kartika Vilasa dd desde España, son muy valiosos para nosotros. Ya empezamos a distribuir: Govinda Pramodini dd llevó a los devotos de Monterrey, se hizo el envío a Guadalajara, enviamos a León Guanajuato y el 12 de Enero hemos entregado en CDMX, muchas gracias!


Vuestra eterna aspirante a sirviente

HpS//ASA - Paoho!!! AgtSP


Thank you very much for your sacred association that you give us daily, may Lord Nrisimhadeva protect you, we are glad to know that there are qualified devotees and doctors with you, many thanks to them, every doctor or nurse is eager to serve a soldier of Lord Caitanya who sometimes needs to heal some battle wounds to continue, they are very fortunate.


Houston seems to be a good base for your sankirtana.


We may be causing inconvenience to you when we are not serious in spiritual life, please forgive the burden we represent, by your mercy we are striving to be faithful to our vows that we promised in the initiation ceremony so that you can serve Srila Prabhupada's contract with Krishna.


Govardhana shila arrived at the temple altar, with an honor messenger His Grace Deena bhandu prabhu, Gurumaharaja we remember your instruction and care of worship with our vows as well as Your Lordships Radha and Krsna, please bless us with love and devotion.


Gurumaharaja we want to inform you that we have received some gifts that you sent with Kartika Vilasa dd from Spain, they are very valuable to us. We have already started to distribute: Govinda Pramodini dd took them to the devotees of Monterrey, the shipment was made to Guadalajara, we sent them to Leon Guanajuato and on January 12 we delivered them in CDMX, thank you very much!

Your eternal aspiring servant

Asta Sakhi dd


HpS - Thank you. We hope that there is some value in what little we could send!!!

Devotees in Nabadvipa would send packages to Puri etc, no?


Join us in one more letter! !!!!!

Thank you!!

Hare Krsna, Gurudeva, agtSP, pamho.


In the Ramayana book from vedabase.io is written:


Jatayu then broke Rāvaṇa’s large jewel-encrusted bow, which fell glittering from the sky. Rāvaṇa swiftly strung another bow and shot thousands of arrows at Jatayu, entirely covering his body. The king of birds looked as if he had found shelter in a nest.



We thought: it's worth imagining scene, painting this scene, I then used copilot ai to paint same.


Image attached


HpS - WeWillLook! 👀


AI won't paint negative emotions like --


A) With his white breast reddened with blood, he resembled a large cloud tinged by the setting sun.


B) Rāvaṇa found Sītā bathed in tears and fallen to the floor amid the Rākṣasīs. She resembled a female deer beset by a number of hounds.


HpS / ASA - Isopanisad, Srila Prabhupada, instruct to learn the negative aspects of material life with the positive aspects of spiritual life, no?

If only focus on the spiritual aspects become sahajiy.

If only.. become Mayavadi.

We emphasize positive Spiritual. We are Sahaja-vadis? We contemplate bad things in material life to get motivation to preach!!!

In letter "https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15346/", you wrote

Q1 --HpS - We don't, agtSP, understand the question? ❓

Q2--Should men accept being conquered by men in the Kali yuga?

Q3--we have to take shelter of Rama, Prabhupada, Hanuman. O.K.?

the question was should a married man try to satisfy his guru Or his wife, many times there is contradiction.


How does married man understand, he is inappropriately or too much attached to his wife?



HpS - Basis of everything is Sastra. When Kasyapa is glorifying Diti in 'Pregnancy of Diti in the Evening', Prabhupada says that such exagerated glorification of a wife is either sign of joking or overly attached, no?

Many comments in SB etc about how much husband and wife should be attached to each other, how.


If we have service attitude, then we can work on making a balance in satisfying material responsibilities, and spiritual, but as we progress we see that everything is spiritual. All that Guru and Krsna suggest is the best for our wife materially.


SP: A 'husband' who engages his wife in illicit sex is a torturer of women.

ASA: Because he is conditioning her to a bodily concept of life, bodily pleasure, when she gets the skin ripped open on her leg in a auto, travel accident, she will not be able to withdraw her mind from it.

By stimulating her in excessive pleasure he is guaranteeing her to be tortured!

Wow!
