Hari Bol, Maharaj, Pamho, AgtSP.

we dont prefer to write to blog as our written english is little weak. anyways writing is the austerity which can help us and many blog readers. so lets do it.

ASA - SB 1.5.11 (Purport), "...Our presenting this matter in adequate language, especially a foreign language, will certainly fail, and there will be so many literary discrepancies despite our honest attempt to present it in the proper way. But we are sure that with all our faults in this connection the seriousness of the subject matter will be taken into consideration, and the leaders of society will still accept this due to its being an honest attempt to glorify the almighty God....". 
 

...we have struck deal with krsna. we will enter in to stock market daily, if we get profit (more than 100rs)  then next day we will goto chowpatty temple for morning prog ( it costs 100rs).  the rest of profit is after tax is 75% for krsna and 25% for me. this way have attended 4 morning program in temple.

HpS - Hare Krsna!   Is that gambling?  Of course, Prabhupada engaged Atreya Rsi Das in setting up stock market investments to keep source of eternal income for Mayapura and Vrndavana, no?  So, business means calculated risk taking not gambling?

...we move from home at 4am, 410-5 am in train (we read sb ), 5-550 am temple morning prog, 550-650 chant, 650- back.. now this schedule helps us to regulate our life, and gives a daily motivation to attend morning prog.
HpS - And gives your wife and Pariksit more floor space a lot of time.

...at morning prog we jump a lot, so our excericse is done.

HpS - Monkey wrote many years ago, "Mangala arati is my gym, by jumping and yelling, I stay fit and trim!"

...now krsna is striking more deals, he says  leave online chess, i will give u more profit daily..

anways thats all, morning prog ki jai
horse..
 

HpS - ASA --- Incredible. You will become more rich than Mansa Mosa. You will be able to go to Mecca with 70,000-servants and associates.
In any case it is so, so wonderful that you can get to Chapati (Ha! Ha! Hare!) Temple. The main thing is regularity, no?  Even if it is not so often! How is your good wife? Do you have graduate student friends?

All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Radha  Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisanses unto Sri Guruji's padamacharan that after getting Gurujis reply of my previous letter is so satisfy and clear all my darkness. I will try to follow the rules and regulations first then whenever necessary, I will enquire to Guruji Maharaja and other senior devotees of ISKCON.

HpS - ASA --  All glories to Srila Prabhupada, of whom we are very unqualified dogs running in the dust of his lotus feet.  Also, BG 6.7, 10.10-11, Introduction to NOI, all tell us that as we are in the mode of goodness, we will also feel very tangible inspiration from the Paramatma, "Now Krsna will send a Sadhu who can enlighten me on my transcendental eternal form".

We are planning to celebrate Krsnajanmasthami Utsav of our Group. After sandhya arati, the programme will start and will continue upto 12.00 midnight. The simple programme will be as such i) Nama sangkirtana of our group ii) Krsna Katha and  3) Nama Japa (loudly in group).

HpS-ASA -- We are trying to catch up on mail, so that we can answer in less than one week, but here we are after your Janmastami and ours. We have very small but nice community where our Ashrama is now.  We heard from Bhadravardana Das, Brahmacari, that Srila Prabhupada mentioned that on these long fast and festival days we can do 20-minutes Kirtan, 20-minutes Reading and 20-minutes Japa. We did that here in our group and the hours passed very nicely. By Japa we mean that each one chants on his own beads at his own pace. Chanting in group on the beads was never done to my knowledge while Prabhupada was here.

I came to know from a bhakta of Silchar  that Guruji is coming from 1st Jan.  to 15th Feb. 2017. Guruji please let me know the tentative programme from 1st Jan  to 15 Feb. 2017. So that we can arrange Guruji's Air Tickets, fixed sides and programme.

HpS - We are trying to fix things now. We only learned yesterday that we are confirmed in invitation to a an ISKCON-Christian Dialog in Tirupati January 2, and then a Bhagavata mela with Bhaktas from many different Sampradayas in Madras January 7.
We started looking for tickets and the price is in great variety depending on the travel dates, so we will post news here in the Blog.

Yours fallen servant

Indian Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi has congratulated ISKCON on its 50th anniversary, praising its accomplishments in a way that shows a strong understanding of ISKCON's  core message and efforts. We hope its Founder-Acarya Srila Prabhupada, who always tried to reach the leaders of society, is pleased.

The Prime Minister's letter, released on August 8th, reads in full:

"I am delighted to learn that the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

"Over the last five decades, the journey of ISKCON has been one of selfless service to society.

"The ISKCON family has emerged at the forefront of the quest to create a more peaceful, harmonious and compassionate society. ISKCON's journey has been a manifestation of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.' Integration has been at the core of your philosophy.

"ISKCON's story has been the story of the determination and devotion of lakhs of devotees spread across the world. Inspired by the teachings of Lord Krishna, they spread His message far and wide. The efforts of the ISKCON family in sectors like education, publishing and disaster-relief are commendable.

"On this occasion, I convey my best wishes to the ISKCON family and hope they continue to serve humanity with the same enthusiasm and diligence as they have been doing for the last five decades. May this family of devotees be agents of change in creating a better tomorrow.

"Jai Shri Krishna!

"Signed, Narendra Modi

Hare Krsna BELOVED Gurudeva

AGTSP

PAMHO

Here we are finishing our rounds...thank U for your last letter. Yes I remember that I have to chant Hk HR no matter what happens

We are not going to India... my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I have to pay for the treatments etc. Jambavan is going.... I am too ofensive to go to the dhama.... and also my spiritual life is not as good as before. But it will be I am recovering little by little

Thank U for all iur support and mercy

Please I beg 2 things for all the devotees who read this... do not tell anything to my mom, and a prayer for her soul. People who met her know that she is too sweet. She has her dharma really clear...

I feel so blessed of being her daughter

I just trust 2 people in this world You and her, the two persons who never ever failed me and always supported me.

Today is the 6th anniversary that my father went back to Krsna

Lots of samskaras... we feel that all are leaving..But then we feel Krsna and Radhika with ourselves all the time

Jaya Radhe

We felt so muchhhhh happy back to the altar again

We are trying to follow iur footsteps in heaven or hell we will always remember our dear  Gurudeva

Yes GM we have a garden.. I am doing gardening it is eally relaxing and we feel more connected with nature.... 

Thank U

Your useless daughter

HpS - Wow!!!  What super news.  If you are in a female body you are usually really very attached to your breasts (envy and greed if you are a materialistic witch). Krsna can let your Mother die a "happy death". Very comfortable, then hellish detachment, then take birth on Indra loka and have a really good time with her family ... then be kiddnaped by Bali Maharaja's soldiers then......   bacteria ....  god.....   

Now she knows her body will burn up.  Cancer makes your body become compost so that it can be recycled into a new body.  Try your best to elevate her to Goloka consciousness, and then you will be in Goloka more than anyone else. Maybe Krsna will have her leave her body in glorious consciousness and then send you to put her divine ashes in the Yamuna along with your sister.

First service, Japa, "Radhe, Radhe", "Hare, Hare".

Todas las glorias a Srila prabhupada y a su Sankirtana eterno!!!

Hare Krsna querido gurudeva porfavor acepte mis más sinceras y respetuosas reverencias y perdone mis ofensas porfavor.

HpS - Nos es igual.

¿Cómo está Ud.?  - ASA - Luchando servir a Krsna constantamente. Nosotros bien de salud, estámos astrológicamente en Rahu por dos años y me está siendo muy difícil pasar este período, luchando con la pereza y la mente mi mayor enemiga, pero gracias a la misericordia de Krsna, Srila prabhupada y de su presencia, estámos fijos en nuestras 25 rondas, voto que hice porque el mantra hare krsna es mi mayor refugio, 4 principios bien, programa de la mañana aveces entusiasmada y nos levantamos 4 am. y aveces 5 am. y atendiendo a nuestras silas y deidades, y también ahora tulasi llegó, estamos felices en conciencia de Krsna.

HpS - ASA -- En Vastu Rahu y Ketu son peros guardianos quien quedan en frent de la casa. Compartir Prasadam con ellos cada dia y ellos protegen muy bien de ladrones.  O.K?   Puede buscar comprehension para utilizar Rahu para protejer Vd. todo su vida de ladrones (que roban la conciencia de Krsna)?

La asociación de p. Gadai gauranga es muy valiosa en mi vida, cumplimos 7 años estando juntos en el día de Balaram, y 5 años de iniciación y de matrimonio, nunca olvido ese dia tan especial cuando ud. estuvo en bolivia, gracias gurudeva. Hoy en Balaram recordé cuando ud. nos dijo en la ceremonia de fuego muchas pruebas y aprendo mucho cada diá gurudeva, todos los días son enseñanzas pero entiendo que es misericordia de Krsna para pulir mis anarthas.

HpS - ASA --- Que decir!?   Otro vez estamos pensando que austeridades, matrimonio, Viuda Civil, todo son pasos en continuacion del vida pasado. Levantamos! Regresamos todos a Goloka!!!

...aqui estamos en el negocio del prasadam, dos semanas buenas y dos semanas mas o menos, estoy tratando de enseñarle lo poco que he aprendido de conciencia de krsna a Bhaktin lourdes, no es fácil, y digo en mí; "Prabhupada cuanto amor, tolerancia y paciencia nos tuvo", porque en sus libros él está presente  cada párrafo que leo es cómo si él estuviera ahí a mi lado y lo recuerdo  y me admiro muchísimo.

Estoy tratando de ser más flexibe con las personas que me rodean, quiero aprender a enseñar con amor y con el ejemplo.

ojalá lo pueda verlo muy pronto querido gurudeva prometo esta vez ir.

Espero esté muy bien, reverencias una y otra vez.

Hare krsna

Nadiya Nivasi Dasi

HpS - Hare Krsna. Hare Krsna. Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare!!!   Senyor Caitanya estaba pasando en Hari-nama Sankirtan muy suavamente con Senor Nityananda, Mukunda, todos, en Nabadvipa. Haz la misma en su pueblo, se convierta a Nadia (con Nimai)!!!      Esperamos para la proxima carta!   Capitulo en la tele-novela!  Saludos a la Bh. Lourdes y todo el mundo.

Hare krsna Gurudev acepte mis reverencias por favor..

Seguimos en Cusco, tuvimos un hermoso festival de Balaram Purnima mas de 50 personas.

ASA - Colosal! Y va a incrementar mas!

Actualmente estoy ayudando en la organizacion del festival que tendremos en Septiembre del 21 al 24, tendremos 6 horas kirtan, Ratha Yatra en honor a los 50-años de ISKCON .

Tambien estoy viajando el 6 setiembre con un grupo de devotos acompañand al Tour que realizara Madhava Prabhu en colombia y Ecuador .

Sus vendiciones Gurudev para nunca dejar de cantar el Sant Nombre .

Su eterno sirviente Rohini Kumar  Das

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna!   TlgaSP... !   .  Pidiendo un bendicion de esta tipo, es casi cierto que Vd. era un monje en su vida previo, no?    Muchas gracias noticias del ISKCON Cusco el Gran, pero.... unos fotos suPer arTistko del festival!!!!
Nitai-gaurasundar Das recordando mucho sus esfuerzas como cocinero en Peru. Pensando en como robar Vd. para cocinar aqui.   _-[;o)/\___

Hare Krishna Gurudev, 

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

We are super exhausted because all these responsibilities. Sometimes we want to run away with SB to a cave ( jajaja Arjuna...).

Today is Balaram purnima, so we beg for Bala!! Bhakti yoga rules!!

We meditate in BG 18.8 and have great realization, do not abandon things only cause they are difficult.

How to balance material life with spiritual life?

HpS - ASA --- Of course, there are pages of answers to this in the SB etc. Krsna's whole life in Dvaraka is a demonstration of this, but one simple formula that we think we heard from Bh'vinode Th. is that Morning is for your Spiritual Life. Don't look at you cell phone while you chant your rounds. Day time is for MAKING MONEY (with both hands), and evening is for Enjoying (go to the Super market with your family-friends and look for toys for your altar, watch KC DVDs).

How do we know what is essential, what is athyahara, prayasas?
ASA - On the basis of scripture, from the opinion of good men, from the Lord in the heart (bead-bag [Kirtan]).

We feel more and more that rural vaisnava community and cow-grazing is the way to go!!

ASA - Let's go! We planted and apple tree and rose bush on Janmastami and herd the neighbor's cats, but as we go lets take the cats and as many people as we can with us, no?

Mode of goodness seems so far away!!
ASA - Rome wasn't built in a day, and by the right means it's all play.

Thank you Gurudeva for all your inspiration. We really feel we are doing nothing for you!!

Please forgive us, we are super stupid and always busy,

Struggling to follow your footsteps,

Nikunja Bihari das.

HpS - So much of our service to each other is the example we set in our local life. We are inspired to hear of Los Platanos. How is Maha-jana's child?
