ASA - No Text???? Need explanation of pictures!

Respected Maharaj,

Please accept our humble and respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! 

We are writing to inform you that Krishna Prabhu from ISKCON Richmond Yatra, who we introduced to your holiness in your last visit to Richmond, as your aspiring disciple, is continuing on the path very nicely. Sincerely

• participating in Morning japa call of temple,
• nicely serving in multiple areas,
• following Vaishnava Sadachar and
• having good relations with other devotees.

At this point, we would like to request your holiness if he has permission to start chanting your pranam mantra?

Soon, we will be conducting ISKCON Disciple Course and a Vaishnava Sadachar Course here in Richmond. That will prepare him further for the initiation and shelter of your lotus feet.

Thank you very much, maharaj. We beg for your mercy to develop taste in chanting the Holy Names and Serving Vaishnavas.

your servant

HpS/ASA - AgtSP! Esteemed Divyanama Das paoho. Thank you for your letter. Everything seems fine. Yes, according to our ISKCON rituals, it seems that he can chant the standard Pranam mantra to me as prospective Diksa guru, on behalf of Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON, parampara, but also please ask him to write to our Blog - www.MonkeyWarrior.Com.

We just landed USA Wednesday night and getting our lettuce feet on the ground.

Hope we can have more work in your Sankirtan.

Hare Krishna!!!

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

Narotam Armijo from Chile

I hope the good health is whit you and the cold winter dont hit so hard.

This is my first sadhana report of the year, I'm now in vacations in the beach whit my family, is kinda crasy but I use this time in the best activitie posible: Sankirtan, in this days I give 127 books, unfortunaly no Bhagabad-Gita but still be a good number for just 4 days in sankirtan.

And a last thing you have some advice for sankirtan? Like a place were you think that is necesary to go or will make good results.

Please accept my humble obeisences.

Hari bol Guru maharaja, have a nice day.

HpS-ASA. - Hare Krsna. Thank you for great letter.

Only one small Sankirtan suggestion comes to us. Try to distribute five books rather than one book.

If they think that they must act in Jana yoga, learn something it is wrong for Kali-yuga, but if they think as Sankirtan men, give the books to others, friends, encounters in life, then that is natural, Yuga-dharma.

Thank you.

Todas las glorias a srila Prabhupada

Querido Gurudev comienzo este reporte con mi sadhana diario es bueno pero siempre se puede mejorar mas en la atención de nuestras hermosas deidades, japa lectura y servicios en casa. cada día me propongo servir y agradecer a krishna por lo que tengo, sin su misericordia no habría nada. Sigo con la lectura diaria a las devotas de Chile cada vez más afiatadas respondiendo sus dudas y entregando contension en lo que necesiten.

Estoy distribuyendo prasada dulce( bolitas, halaba o galletas) los días lunes, un hermoso servicio donde las personas que lo reciben son muy felices, lo esperan cada semana, es tanto su cariño que regalan bhoga para krishna.

Aprobé B sastri aunque siempre debo estar repasando versos para ser más experta, además estoy de oyente en las clases que da LAD cada día y en uno de esos días soy estudiante de Pada Patma,siempre trato de explicar a las devotas de Chile algo de lo que escucho de alguna clase de Bhagavatam o lectura qué tenemos con Lad a diario ( B. Gita, Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta, néctar de la devoción..) para que no se olvide, tratando de buscar nuevos métodos de estudios para que se queden en mi memoria y poder aplicarlo en la prédica

La fiesta de Nityananda Trayodasi estuvo muy hermosa, buen prasada, pusimos unas hermosas luces qué realzan la belleza de nuestro altar, tengo material para hacer nuevos collares y ropa de cama para las deidades de casa. espero estar haciendo un buen servicio con sus bendiciones.

Mis padres y hermanos están muy bien, hablo cada día con ellos igual que con mis amigos por último llevo más de 7 meses nadando cada día y por vacaciones de los niños retomo en marzo este hermoso deporte donde soy muy feliz

Se despide su humilde sirviente Raman Reti Devi Dasi

Dear Gurudev, I start this report with my daily sadhana, it is good but there is always room for better attention to our beautiful deities, japa reading and services at home. Every day I propose to serve and thank Krishna for what I have, without his mercy there would be nothing. I continue with the daily reading to the devotees of Chile, more and more established, answering their doubts and providing contention in whatever they need.

I am distributing sweet prasada (balls, halaba or cookies) on Mondays, a beautiful service where the people who receive it are very happy, they wait for it every week, their love is so great that they give away bhoga for Krishna.

I passed B sastri although I always have to be reviewing verses to be more expert, I am also a listener in the classes that LAD gives every day and on one of those days I am a student of Pada Patma, I always try to explain to the devotees of Chile something of what that I listen to some kind of Bhagavatam or reading what we have with Lad daily (B. Gita, Srila Prabhupada Lilamrta, nectar of devotion...) so that it is not forgotten, trying to find new study methods so that they stay with me memory and be able to apply it in preaching

Nityananda Trayodasi's party was very beautiful, good prasada, we put some beautiful lights that enhance the beauty of our altar, I have material to make new necklaces and bedding for the home deities. I hope to be doing a good service with your blessings.

My parents and siblings are very well, I talk to them every day the same as with my friends. Finally, I have been swimming every day for more than 7 months and for the children's holidays I return to this beautiful sport in March where I am very happy

Says goodbye to his humble servant Raman Reti Devi Dasi

HpS - AgtSP paoho Thank you for this stimulating news.

We hope, LAD and you are occupied very soon as counselor for some social leaders.

Sankirtan.

Respects to all.

See you in Mexico.

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Please accept my most humble obeisances.

HK Maharaj how r u? Well in reply to your questions, yes I’ve read the first two Bhagavatam’s cantos and now I’m reading 3rd canto, so would you like me to re read first canto as you told me or is there any other reading you would recommend me? I have a portrait of Radharani in the kitchen because I’ve heard that’s appropriate, still you would like me to have a picture of the deities? I have an altar with Gaura Nitai’s murtis, I daily offer them incense, water and wake them and put them into bed at night, also chant my rounds during Mangala arati in front of them.

For one year more or less, I’ve keeping the service of designing graphically the Sunday feast’s flyer and helping advertising it on social media, everything for the local Yatra, is there any other service you would recommend me?

I’m following you on YouTube :) I’ve watched all the classes that you gave in Spain I think them were, they were very nice and enriching.

I’m trying to chant with faith Maharaj, with sentiment as Bhakti Sundar Maharaj recommends, would you please give us any recommendation on how to chant more deeply?

thanks in advance Maharaj!

wish you are good!

your servant,

Federico

HpS - You seem to be well fixed.

Ready to become an initiated devotee. 16-R, 4-RP?

Hare Krishna,

Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada!

Dear Guru Maharaja,

I heard and read that Nanda Braja Prabhu, Davendra Krishna Prabhu and Sumitra Radha Mataji are getting 2nd initiation on Sunday! I am so excited for everybody and I will definitely be there!

I was sharing the news and Minakshi Prabhu said he would like to recommend me for 2nd as well! I saw Nityananda Prabhu in the pujari room and told him it was Minakshi Prabhu's idea. He said, "No, it was Radha Kalachandji's idea".

That would be so estatic to be able to serve Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji on the altar and help Gopal Prabhu prepare the offerings for Their Lordships!

Here is the letter of recommendation from Nityananda Prabhu:

Dear Hanumatpresaka Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Your Divine Grace and Srila Prabhupada. 

I pray this meets you safe and well.

I am very happy to recommend your dear disciple and a very sincere devotee in our Dallas Yatra, His Grace Jaya Hari Prabhu, for second initiation. Truly, dear Maharaja, your disciples are the best.
