Dear Maharaj,

PAMHO AGTSP!

Maharaj, I noticed how you really appreciate the academic credits of your disciples. This makes me wonder if I should put more effort into developing academic credentials, scholarly affiliation, degrees, awards/honors, etc too. Please advise 🙏.

Also you said once that second generation should make movies. I feel very inspired in this connection. I keep thinking about plots and networking. What might be a good starting point in your esteeemed understanding? I have so much time and energy and enthusiasm. Trying to figure out where I fit in the bigger picture of service. But there are a lot of questions still. Due to your mercy and instruction to choreograph Jay Radha Madhava, I experienced so many deep feelings just contemplating how Radha and Madhava might have looked walking along the backs of the Yamuna 🤯!

Please guide 🙏

Your servant,

Subhadra Mayi DD

HpS/ASA -- AgtSP!! Paoho... Thank you for your letter and association.

A. The diplomas are mostly like Lord Caitanya taking Sannyasa in a Mayavadi Sampradaya.

We need titles, dress, language appropriate to the audience we are trying to reach.

If it is appropriate you might later work on a doctorate in dance, but some awards from academic sources might be enough.

I think the movie making is very good.

There, some introduction to film making from good teacher might be nice.

Take a course with a friend and communicate our Bhava to the teacher.

Do you have a title from your ten years of Odisi Dance study?

B. Sorry we had such exhausting head ache yesterday. Would liked to have talked more with the A. G. Das.

C. We are starting to work on the travel. Talked with Ranchoor K. D. Looks fine. He says arrive 2-1/2 hours before departure.

Thank you.

Hare Krsna master,

Please accept my obeisances.

In the movement we hear about practical devotional service.

Can you kindly elaborate on the word "practical", because somehow I just like hearing (Children Krsna book), and preach to people who meet me by own accord.

Is this practical or convenience ?

yours

Hayagriva

ASA - 🐷 What is practical for Vyasadeva is not practical for Arjuna.

Therefore, The God, KRSNA, recommends Arjuna to engage in his natural Karma, both physical and psychological.

Ksatriya has natural inclination to protect damsels in distress (eg. Draupadi raped in the game of dice).

NI to smash his fists!

So, do it for Krsna.

P'pada said, Krsna never suggests anything impractical.

So, first He suggests, "Chant Hari nama". That is practical for the Kali yuga, and anyone who recomends making Hari kirtan secondary is a:

Ding Dong!!

Of course, there is advice for DDs in Guru Maharaja's books.

Cook, clean, broom, while you listen to Donnie Yen on Zoom.

Remind us to Hari kirtan make.

Hare Krsna master,

Obeisances,

In dec-2022, we were Dhanurdara Swami's book, Morning Musing/Diary.

where there is mention that - a group was asked to describe one quality of devotee.

most of people were saying - gentle/ soft/ accomodating.

one person said- sense controlled.. Dhanurdara swami wrote this person is stuck at jnana level, because there is no relationship here.

we are also something like this..

our temple president said, that they (ISK) can teach how to love Krsna, but not how to Love.

and I dont think we know civilised/pleasant of love.

even we are hearing Krsna book stories for children https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I_8icSwMsA&list=PLvRIsRHyTI9l7gKgOQlnucVWDnv1j-KmL&index=11

mother yasoda's reaction when she heard that Kaliya is trying to strangle Krsna, her reaction are nice to hear... but we have no such emotion for any one.

i think we have encountered this in us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_masculinity

watching and admiring Heroes fighting war, with bravery/ Achilles of Troy/ Leonaidis of Sparta/ Rambo etc etc.... such are our artefacts / icons...that we dont know what to do.

any opinions?

sorry for asking questions. better d o mistake of asking questions rather than mistake of not asking

positive news:

In our daily student interaction we talk of sankhya/ mind/ love as motivation / invisible hand of god/ search for truth/ quest to pleasure/ live farm based life, etc....

i think it might please parampara .

obeisances

Hayagriva Avatar Das

ASA - The Sun knows that the fruit takes time to grow. He continues to give his light and heat, photons, cosmic rays, at first to the damp earth within which is the seeeeed.

Then to the sprout, then seedling, sapling, flowering tree, budding blossom... until the ripened fruit is there.

In the beginning stages there is no hint of a fruit. There is not hint of feelings towards others.

This is natural.

Maya means superficial reactions. Maybe very shallow

Eg. I know that you love me, but what have you done for me lately!

Or below the skin to the bone and muscle eg. Spartans at the pass of (?)Thermopalae.

Yet, go on Chan Ting and our dance becomes slow and steady. We start to contemplate the present, the people, and we begin to see them:

1. They are completely asleep and any motion in their body is a reaction of the three modes of weather.
2. They are a little awake and can hear if we accompany it with Ding-dong and Hot-dang.
3. They want to work on developing the world of Hari Kirtan.

Even just developing a world where there are proper relations between these three Names is wonderful.

Why does the M. M'ntra have the structure it does? Is it Greek grammar?

Hare Krsna master,

your grace wrote --"

1.

Marriage, family, civil, institutional relations are important but Hari Kirtan is the basis of those in Kali yuga."

can you kindly elaborate on word "basis " ? we can fathom this ..

1. "hari kirtan" means what here, I think our conception is flawed

our conception of Krsna consciousness changed in your association..

earlier I used to think Krishna means only the deity. But after talking with you, we realised even if somebody is able to appreciate sunshine, we are trying to increase his Krishna consciousness.

so what does "hari kirtan" means in progression ?

3. In general I would say that you should try to have pleasant, civilized contact with your family --

the word "pleasant" is very struggling for self.....

4. "Take the Bhakti sastri course with some one! Ask Temple President for recommended source."

I am not against your recommendation, but just to control our strong/stubborn mind by feeble intelligence, we might need little more help

we are finding solace in krsna book narration for children [the fifth regulative principle] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOBQQLG_DKI&list=PLvRIsRHyTI9l7gKgOQlnucVWDnv1j-KmL&index=5. somehow we are telling ourself, we are fool or at best intellectual fools[coder],

so hence on Hari nama and Direct Krsna past times.

We were consciously avoiding classes like Isopanishad, Bhagvad gita, SB, primarily because we are not able to apply all this, seems to us at this moment impractical, especially

when we don't know what is that we should "eat" or what should we do in "work", in day to day life.

secondly, we have always overlooked "sadachar" and over emphasized on "sadhana", then "svadhya", not find us to be useful for "most of sangas" and hence not able to do "seva" to any specific. {5s model of GEV}

This was highlighted by our temple president also on 26 feb 2023, and it hurt us the most when words [ not verbatim ] " is this what you have been taught by your Guru". i knew it was my fault only , and your appreciation.

but we are just trying to find to serve and be worthy of called your disciple in anyway

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna, Hayagriva Avatara Das.

Krishna speaks through the mouth of a horse for some reason. We can't remember why?

Also, he incarnates as H'g'va twice, no?

Your questions cover a large range of topics.

We have come to: Harer nama anukirtanam.

If you don't know what to do, you are not chanting "Hare Krsna".

First regulative principle is to chant HK/HR loud enough to hear it.

Then, if you are not inspired to do anything else, even after a few mantras, then their is nothing else you should be doing, eating, teaching.

May be that any moment Krsna wants us to leave this world, and get to work in another, so we just chant and "die".

=-=-=-=

If family does not want to share your world nor wants you to share theirs, then subject is finished, yet we are always open if they change their mind, mound, mend, mund, mand.

=-=-=-= === Srnvatam sva katha Krsna... SB 1.2 If we chant we become 'punyatma' pious people. Then high class activities eg. Detiy worship, fire sacrifice, meditation (con tem pla tion) are accessible to us one after another.

-0v0-

So nice to chant.

No better service you can offer Krsna.

At the feet of Prabhupada.

"Swami Ji, are there problems in your temples"

P'pada - "This is the material world. There are problems EVERYWHERE!"

Hare Krsna, master, in the service of real Master.

Careful Dandvats, All glories to representative of Krpa Shakti of Lord. The closest lense of transcendental telescope.

Thank you for being transparent.

This poor man has heard from audio vibrations generated from your lips that -- "Sannyas like SB 1.5 of Narada Muni is not practical in today's age.

We always had this conjecture that - " what is practical householder life in today's age" or more importantly what is not practical? we somehow try to imitate the scriptural standards mentioned for householders.

We are asking this again somehow our mind somehow trust you only, I know its great burden on you. So many times we try to stay away from you and be close to your vani,

but that's make us less functional in this world.
