Hare Krishna Maharaja 

I left Murari farm 3 weeks ago on OK terms. I didn't tell them the real reasons I was leaving because I didn't want conflict. I could tolerate the differences in opinion to an extent but the criticisms went too far and they were making heavy offenses toward you and Iskcon. Alyssa stayed there and is taking shelter of them hoping for initiation. I am living on my parents land with them and have been feeding them prasadam. I'm about to plant a big orchard and gardens. I am pretty busy with this project, working outside and reading up on sustainable methods, permaculture etc. Adjusting to living here  has been a little hard, slipped up on 4 regs and sadhana went down. Now I'm getting more serious and doing better, chanting has gotten easier I have been doing 16 rounds the past 3 days my vow is at least 10. I'm following the 4 regs, reading NOD plus calling advanced devotees for an hour everyday to read CC together, and hearing lectures all day long. This will be my permanent residence from now on. I'm hoping to get this farm going and make a small living selling produce at farmers markets plus distribute Prabhupada's books from our stand. Hoping to go out and distribute books at local colleges or in saint Louis at least once a week as well. And also planning to attend Stl temple every week, it's an hour away. I've been missing your association a lot. Hopefully I can visit you when you come back to Murfreesboro. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and the assembled devotees!

Your aspiring disciple,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's padmacharan that I had never read such talks with Prabhupada or someone what ever I have read. Prabhu Haridasa also reng  and advice me not to ask such confidential matters through letters or in the blog but it should be dicussed personally. Exuse me for such un etiquate behavious as a kaniska adhikari. Sometimes, I want to site together with Guruji for such personal matters but no time (chance ) as senior brahmacharis surrounded for Guruji's service even I could not touch Guruji's padmacharan. We have so many lapses for training of such personal matters for spiritual advancement, but as Guruji know, who will guide us?

We have another plan and in the middle Dr. Nandalal arranged cultural programme (Goura-Lila) and take many valuable times. During such time if get a chance to sing Harinama Sankritan with Guruji sing and we follow. How  will we satisfy and enjoy to participate Hariname Sankrtana? God nows.

On the other hand, Sanaton one person unknown to me arranged to demonstrate the art exibition on the same programme with Nabadwipchandra Das and colided with our programme. They want to narrate with Guruji about the painted posters by taking some time with Guruji, that also inclompleted.

All these are happen due to non-co-operation by those initiated two/ three bhaktas who are running Mandir in their own way. When we call for dicussion about our Gurujis programme they never turnup and respond positively but at the middle they insurted their wishes. Most members did not turn up for Gurupujah and daksina. It is quite wanderfull. In one sense it might be our weakness.

After hearing about Silchar programme through Haridas, I am so happy that the bhaktas gather their and daksinas donated (dan) to Guruji. That is beyond our capacity. I had given my little daksina  with pure tear from heart.

Lastly excuse me again, Dandavat pranam.

Dear Hanumatpresāka Swami, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am now back in the USA working very hard to buy a new sankirtana van for book distribution and have better sadhana and relationships with devotees.

I am writing to beg you and the Vaisnavas’ blessings and well wishes in this regard.

Thank you for your encouragement and inspiration. 

Hare Krishna.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you!

please accept my obeisances, i hope you are fine.

16 rounds, 4 principles done! 

some proofs in this last time....... now i am living only with my father and my son, my husband is gone for a while, since a few months, because of some troubles, but in this distance we are trying to fix the differences, think more deeply abaut it .....we are still "toghether" anyway.

about my service, good news....we recover permission in Paseo Ahumada. Last one programa was an offering in Nityananda Trayodasi.

my father is ok, the other day said me: " i know that i am in maya, but i am still your father, so, i forbid you walk away from Krishna consciousness, ever" and i felt at that time  that I will never forget those words...

when my husband gone, stop to worshiping my deities, but i clung to my japa....
Now I have returned to worship..... 

now i am not reading.....but i hope that in my next report that 
I hope that in my next report that improves

thanks again for accept me like your disciple, i remember that promise every day.

sorry for my bad english...
eternally grateful to you

Sripada Maharaja Ki Jay Prabhupada Maharaja Ki Jay

Radha Krsnaki Jay and Goura bhakta ki jay

Please accept my humble obeisanses unto Sri Guruji's padmacharan that may I know Guruji's Sakhi and Manjuri?

According to our Manipuri Goudiya Beisnava, at the time of taking initiation under a parampara Brahmana, first give the Das nama, then Sakhi then Manjuri. The first stage of taking Das nama is upto Nabadwip personally (sadhya), then Sakhi upto Vrndabana as Gopis by atma but could not served Smt. Radharani and Sri Krsna  directly then Manjuri     served Smt. Radharani and Sri Krsna directly to fulfill the desires of Sri Krsna.

When we practice such spiritual advancement we should follow the path of Guruji through Guruji's Sakhi and Manjuri. That is why we need Guruji's Das Nama, Sakhi and Manjiri. 

If Guruji thinks me suitable for giving   the names of Guruji's Sakhi and Manjuri, please let me know so as I could follow the foodpath of Guruji.

I had started such practice of going Nabadwip then Vrndabana and back (Gamana Gaman) daily in the morning and evening before sleeping.
