Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

{Last night, in my dream, Maharaj [H. H. B. S Damodara Swami? or us?] was present in the Brahmachari Ashram of ISKCON Manipur, and Maharaj was trying to send some messages to your Blog from my computer and you were indicating me to send it.}

Maharaj, it’s you I was seeing in the dream.

HpS - AgtSP~ Amazing. Being able to visit the B'cari ashrama in Manipur is a great honor in any way.

KRSNA book is full of Krsna and His soldiers fighting with demons like Jarasandha, and not a single soldier of Krsna's getting killed. Of course, dying for Krsna, might be even more desireable.

Thank you very much for the wonderful and very valuable guidance you have given me in your response to my last letter. I was reading it again and again with my devotee friends. Please bless me Maharaj so that I may continue serving Srila Prabhupada more and more enthusiastically.

H. H. Haridasa Maharaj and myself, we are going to Bali on 26^th of this month. We may be coming back to India in the last week of January 2024.

HpS - One month.

We remember that Srila Prabhupada said, that first they will laugh at our preaching, then they will try to destroy us, and finally they want to listen to us.

It seems that ISKCON is starting to move into the 3rd phase.

In the first phase we have to tolerate humiliation.

In the second getting killed.

In the 3rd, we really have to know our culture, SB, and be able to give professional advice on that basis!

The speeches of Maharaja Prthu for political science, and Lord Kapila's Sankhya for physical science etc. 👍

Maharaj, thank you once again for your love and concern for this lowly servant of yours. Hope to see you soon again in Manipur.

Your servant

Sadhubhusan Das

Manipur

HpS - I know of no place else like Manipura except Vraja itself. Both are worth dying for, no?

Hare Krsna! Querido Guru Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

¡Todas las Glorias sean Srila Prabhupada!

 Hace tiempo que estoy pensando en escribir, pero la verdad es que la vida nos está haciendo movernos mucho y pensar poco , de mayo a diciembre habremos estado en cuatro diferentes sitios. Espero que la casa al pie de la montaña y con cinco pies de nieve me ayude a calmar la mente.

Por lo demás, cuando tenemos un momento libre, después de terminar las rondas, estamos estudiando astrología y continuando con aprendizaje de mantras para sacrificios de fuego

La finalidad es, la prédica en un principio la la próxima primavera puede ser un buen momento para empezar a dar pequeños seminarios acerca de estas otras ramas de la filosofía Vedica para poder atraer a gente interesada y llevarlos al canto de los Santos Nombres

Me gustan los seminarios que hacen unos devotos de Perú Ramanuja y Devarshi Naradha Prabhu que podría replicar aquí en inglés hay mucho trabajo ya hecho es cuestión de adaptarlo y poniéndolo a trabajar y ver si funciona si no también están las opciones de internet

No tenemos pensado parar en esta vida

 de una otra manera, siempre bajo su inspiración

Y como meta el que usted se sienta orgulloso de nuestro servicio 

Además, estamos haciendo Homeschool para Jahnavi completo y  para Sita es escuela , kindergarten,sin quitarle un ojo a nuestro pequeño Guerrero Arjuna

Así es como

Hare Krsna! Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.

All Glories be Srila Prabhupada!

 I have been thinking about writing for a long time, but the truth is that life is making us move a lot and think little, from May to December we will have been in four different places. I hope that the house at the foot of the mountain and with five feet of snow will help calm my mind.

HpS/ASA - Five, agtSP, feet!

For the rest, when we have a free moment, after finishing the rounds, we are studying astrology and continuing with learning mantras for fire sacrifices.

The purpose is, preaching, initially next spring may be a good time to start giving small seminars about these other branches of Vedic philosophy in order to attract interested people and lead them to the chanting of the Holy Names.

HpS/ASA - From what I understand H. H. Bhanu Swami does the same.

I like the seminars given by some devotees from Peru, Ramanuja and Devarshi Naradha Prabhu, which I could replicate here in English. There is a lot of work already done. It is a matter of adapting it and putting it to work and seeing if it works. If not, there are also internet options.

We do not plan to stop in this life.

In another way, always under your inspiration.

And as a goal, we hope that you feel proud of our service.

HpS/ASA - 😐

We always hope that, by His Divine Grace, we can contribute something unique to Radha and Krsna's pastimes.

In addition, we are doing Homeschool for Jahnavi completely, and for Sita it is school, kindergarten, without taking an eye off our Little Warrior, Arjuna.

HpS - Just imagine what potential you would have had if you had advantage of this philosophy as you grew up! Second generation!

Whatever happened to your two daughters in Spain???

❓

This is how, thanks to your blessings, we are going through this period of life in the most honorable way possible.

HpS - AgtSP!. When we drop a little rock in the still water it sends ripples out. We may be small but Radharani, Lord Nityananda, are expert at using every little screw in the BIG MACHINE, no?

His servant Murari Das,

HpS - No fotos!! Please send some fotos as you can.

Todas las Glorias a nuestro Maestro Eterno Srila Prabhupada 🙏

Por favor Gurumaharaja acepte mis sinceras y afectuosas reverencias 🙏

Debo confesar que nunca había pensado que de alguna manera inconciente yo podía tener una cuenta favorita en mi Japa 😮

Mi Japa tiene cuentas muy pequeñas (cada una mide 1 centímetro aproximadamente) pero siempre que la veo recuerdo el día que usted cantó mi Japa antes de mi iniciación en el templo de Wilson 🙏🙇🏻‍♀️ vi como usted cantaba cada cuenta con mucho cuidado de no dejar ninguna sin cantar porque son muy pequeñas...ese momento quedó grabado para siempre en mi mente y mi corazón 🧡🙏

Mi cuenta favorita es la primera porque es totalmente diferente a las demás: es más grande y por ello me indica por donde empezar a cantar la Japa, además me parece que tiene una forma peculiar como de un OJO 👁️... usted que opina Gurumaharaja?

Que el Señor Nrsimha lo proteja siempre

Intentando ser útil

Yasoda Devi Dasi 🙏

All Glories to our Eternal Master Srila Prabhupada 🙏

Please Gurumaharaja accept my sincere and affectionate obeisances 🙏

I must confess that I had never thought that in some unconscious way I could have a favorite bead on my Japa beads 😮

My Japa has very small beads (each one measures approximately 1 centimeter) but every time I see it I remember the day you chanted my Japa before my initiation at the Wilson temple 🙏🙇🏻‍♀️ I saw how you chanted each bead very carefully of not leaving any without singing because they are very small... that moment was forever recorded in my mind and my heart 🧡🙏

My favorite bead is the first because it is totally different from the others: it is larger and that is why it tells me where to start chanting the Japa, and it also seems to me that it has a peculiar shape like an EYE 👁️... what do you think Gurumaharaja ?

May Lord Nrsimha protect you always

Trying to be useful

Yasoda Devi Dasi 🙏

HpS - AgtSP! Paoho... we can't see the details, but sometimes the "eye" is where a twig was passing through the branch.

It is mentioned in the Krsna book about chanting on beads and calling cows or remembering Gopis.

We were able to go in Braja, many years ago, where the man was making Japa beads.

He was sitting on the ground in a porch of his house and he had a simple village lathe that was made of piece of metal lie a nail, some rubber from an old inner tube, and was turned by his knee. He had pieces of Tulasi branch that was cut into about three bead sizes, and he would put them on the lathe between the 'head stock' at one end then the cutting end would start drilling into the bead as he chanted and cut in from the side with a shard knife-chisel.

The art was to cut from the side and the hole so that they reached each other at the same time. Then he would knock the bead off and start cutting the next.

Seemed he could chant one Mahamantra for each bead as he cut it.

If he did that for two hours a day he would have enough income to pay for his bodily expenses, no?

Village life.

NVM village life.

Wake up in Braja one day.

Por favor acepte mis reverencias Mahārāja, hoy por fin ví su clase de Śrīmat Bhāgavatam, estuve sin teléfono tres semanas más o menos, sentí gran alegría de escucharlo nuevamente, había estado tomando la clase del curso para iniciación con Prabhu Vanamali pero sin teléfono he faltado a dos clases, espero poder retomarlo si se me permite, no me he podido poner en contacto con Yadunandana Svāmī Mahārāja pero veo sus clases en YouTube y creo entender porque me envía a sus pies de Loto Gurvdeva, tengo un trabajo que no me ha permitido ir a Rādhā-Mādhana-Gopāla Mandira pero hago mi Mangala ārātika en casa.

Llevo 10 días tratando de no deber rondas, un día canté 34 rondas, ahora sólo debo 14 rondas y estaré al corriente con mis 16 diarias, en Ratha-yatra colecte y cocine para 500 platos de Jalaba, arroz y vegetales con néctar, Akincana Kṛṣṇa Dāsa me dió el Seva junto a Haribhakti Prabhu y el devoto Cerón, fué hermoso el festival, solo faltó usted. Anirudha Prabhu se ha quedado en mi bajan kutira algunas veces y me predica, él tiene apego por Yadunandana Svāmī Mahārāja lo que es genial porque somos doblemente hermanos, también lleve a Akinkana Kṛṣṇa a su pueblo y fueron 6 horas de Kṛṣṇa katha muy extático, su bendición llega y Kṛṣṇa me permite acercarme a él, gracias Mahārāja, Todas las Glorias !!!

Tengo Doti morado y kurtas de colores, pienso hacer un personaje de Clown predicador, pronto le enviaré fotos.

Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda!!

Please accept my obeisances Mahārāja, today I finally saw your Śrīmat Bhāgavatam class, I was without a phone for three weeks or so, I felt great joy to hear you again,

I had been taking the initiation course class with Prabhu Vanamali but without a phone I have been missing to two classes, I hope to be able to resume it if I am allowed, I have not been able to contact Yadunandana Svāmī Mahārāja but I watch his classes on YouTube and I think I understand why you sends me to his Lotus feet Gurvdeva,

I have a job that has not allowed me go to Rādhā-Mādhana-Gopāla Mandira but I do my Mangala ārātika at home.

I have been trying for 10 days not to owe rounds, one day I chanted 34 rounds, now I only owe 14 rounds and I will be up to date with my daily 16,

HpS - Super!

In Ratha-yatra I collect and cook for 500 dishes of Jalaba, rice and vegetables with nectar, Akincana Kṛṣṇa Dāsa gave me the Seva together with Haribhakti Prabhu and the devotee Cerón, the festival was beautiful, the only thing missing was you.

Anirudha Prabhu has stayed in my Bajan kutira sometimes and preaches to me, he is attached to Yadunandana Svāmī Mahārāja which is great because we are doubly brothers,

I also took Akinkana Kṛṣṇa to his village and it was 6 hours of very ecstatic Kṛṣṇa katha, his blessing comes and Kṛṣṇa allows me to approach him, thank you Mahārāja, All Glories!!!

I have purple Doti and colorful kurtas, I plan to make a preacher Clown character, I will send you photos soon.

Jaya Srila Prabhupada!!

HpS - Very interesting!!! We wait for the pictures!!!! Very informative news for all of us here.

You have nice relation with the Temple authorities?

Please accept my obeisances at Your lotus feet dear Gurudeva🙏🏼

 This song was born to me a while ago when Srila Prabhupada appeared.

 And today I share it with you as an offering for his departure.

 He told us that in the spiritual world there is no separation...that in reality separation is just another aspect of the encounter...

Me nació esta canción hace un tiempo cuando fue la aparición de Srila Prabhupada.

Y hoy se la comparto como una ofrenda por Su partida.

El nos dijo que en el mundo espiritual no hay separacion..que en realidad la separación es solo otro aspecto del encuentro..

HpS - ASA - Jaya!!!

4.30PM here in ISKCON Houston. Temple is four stories tall inside! Over 25-buildings, homes, school, restaurant all Hare Krsna.

Now we press our clothes, prepare some bananas for storage and prepare for Romapada Swami's seminar.

Dear Guru Maharaj, 

Please accept our obeisances,

All glories to His Divine Grace !

On this very auspicious day of Srila Prabhupada tirobhava, it's unavoidable to remember your grace on us as well. For us , Prabhupada never disappeared. He only appeared and keeps being present proportionately with our service/contribution to his movement. As long as intensity is there, Srila Prabhupada is present. As soon as there is a day off, Prabhupada is less visible. Prabhupada made a giant step to come out of Vrindavan and expand his tree/mercy. And your Holiness is the fruit of that tree that is gracing us and bringing us closer to Srila Prabhupada. Seems like Guru Tattva is like a banyan tree. Roots and branches are all dependable on each other. We want to become a solid branch on that tree, and your appearance in our life is hope that is cherished and dealt with care and attention. Our services are at best imperfect, but we seek your mercy, and we ask to please accept our services until one day they become perfect and worth glory. We want to glorify His Divine Grace, but we face so many obstacles. Remembering your dedication is a source of strength. Please accept our struggles and bless us to have dedication as you have. Although we are limping behind you and other exalted Vaishnavas, we still feel bliss. How must it be blissful when one is properly situated? It's something that we want to and are eager to experience and share. We made many mistakes, and it was all forgiven. Please bless us that we forgive others' mistakes. We want to see only good in others and fan that. We want to see potential and expand on that. Kindly bless us with that ability. We noticed that prayers are so satisfying , even if the desired result/goal/intention is not manifested. We pray to your Holiness to pray for us so that we can be instruments in this glorious movement that will make something that Srila Prabhupada will be pleased with. Praying for that, we are totally immersed in devotion, and we feel sheltered. We wander who is giving us more mercy, your Holiness, or Srila Prabhupada. As much we count your grace, that much we find Prabhupada grace. It's inconceivable! Whatever it may be, we are happy with this transcendental confusion. This paragraph can expand on a page, to a chapter, and ultimately to a book. But I will keep it short and give space for others to take a bit of your valuable time that you are offering us as a service to His Divine Grace that we are remembering today more than other days. 

We hope to please you and perhaps get your prayers to His Divine Grace. Your recommendation letter to our Lord and a Master, Srila Prabhupada.

We thank you sincerely

Narayan pandit das and Vanara-rani Anjana Devi Dasi

HpS - AgtSP!!! Paoho. It is just so amazing. I feel like everything that I feel about Srila Prabhupada is being expressed in the same words by these Tiri-bhava offerings.

Thanks to all.

"Devotional service is not a matter of imaginative ecstasy or sentimental speculation, rather it is practical activity in the foreground of spiritual life", NoI.

Thank you!!

More news you can send of your Sankirtan and Yatra is very nice.

Thank you.
