HpSwami - So, very, very, very nice to hear from you. It really causes us pain at heart that we cannot stay in touch with family of our first disciple, Raktaka Das!


We think about trying to contact you all also, but we have such limited resources. Even answering letters on Whatsapp is limited. We can only do a few letters weekly.


If you can write to this Blog then it is more practical.


There are at least 40-devotees, friends and admirers of Swami Raktaka, who are probably very happy to read this.


🌴 We are now in our Base Camp: 902 Hillcrest Dr., Nashville, Tennessee 37129, USA.

Our body is 75-years old. We really suspect we have about a year and a half more before it is finished. We are very happy! We are consolidating all the preaching we have done with Raktaka Das et al in the Universities etc. around the world.


What has happened with Pavan Kumar, Srimati Silky et al.

Thank you.

HpSwami

Lost a Job!

Whatsapp:

Hare Krishna, Maharaj ji !

Right now I am in problem, my company fired me, I am jobless now, this time is very difficult, I have wife and one small daughter in my family, I am trying to solve this problem.

If possible kindly pray for us.


Your Servant

ASA - Krsna is kind. He is never cruel to anyone. If He sends Tapasya it is something practical that they can handle. It is only for purification and elevation.

If He needs a new Svayambhuva Manu and Satarupa in heaven, He may starve an advanced devotee couple so that they can leave their bodies in peace and happiness in the Holy Dhama chanting Holy Names and go to Svarga. This is rare, but possible.


Putin may start a nuclear war and we may all starve to death. It IS possible.


Chanakhya Pt. says that poverty cannot stay where there is constant endeavor, ignorance cannot stay where there is constant recitation of the Vedas (SB) and sinful reaction cannot stay where there is constant chanting of Hari-nama.


Get to work!

Look for a job for Krsna's service.

Hare Krishna 🙌🏼

AGTSP! AGTHPS! All Glories to devotees!


Thank you for your guide Maharaja 🙏🏼


HpS - So, Don Guimo, for how long now following 16-rounds, 4-principles? Regularly getting up for Mangala arati, Kirtan, SB?


16 Rounds close to 6 months (in 2 weeks’ time). Before that 2 years but not steady.


3 principles for years, 1 principle more than I could imagine it was even possible.


Getting up for Deity wordship, definitely not before sunrise but as soon as I can.


Just started attending daily to the 3:30 am Vanara Voices Call last week, but yesterday I missed the Call (I was having dreams, one of them a wonderful dream about Montemorelos New Govardhan, Chanting Hare Krishna and devotees, so I think it is a reasonable excuse 😬).


Kirtan on Sundays for around 2.5 years.


Started studying Srimad Bhagavatam on 20th October 2020 for some 340 days 40 minutes daily average. I dont keep track after that, but I still read almost every day. Sharing and asking questions to devotees.


Trying to do little service here and there.


Servant of your servants, Guimo 🙏🏼🥭


HpS - Super. Super. Super. Initiation is like matriculating in a university. You can investigate classes informally before at different schools, but then you decide that you want to formally matriculate and get your transcendental, eternal, all-powerful passport!


You go to the University Registrar and they say that all you need is to become fixed in Mangala arati, FMS.

Please, please matriculate. Srila Prabhupada can use you!


URGENT : Not returning to India

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,

  Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

  All glories to Guru parampara.


  Gurudev, am writing this letter with heavy heart. It is very sad 

  that you are not returning to India / Sri Radha-Kunda now.


  for last 3 days am thinking continuously about this. Many thoughts

  coming to my mind.....


Your dependent,

Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

Hare Krsna.

We have been planning to start a Whatsapp Group for our circle of friends in Radha-kunda, Vrndavana. We just did it and included yourself.

Of course, this Blog is first place to communicate.

We are not these bodies.

We live in sound.


We visited India, Vraja, first time 1978, then 1984, then 1990, then usually every year after.

1990 - 2022 = 32 times visit India.

32+3 = 35 visits. Time for you to visit us in USA.

KRSNA can arrange everything.

🙂

Hare Krishna querido Guru Maharaj estamos al tanto de sus noticias en su campamento base en Tennessee, tomé tiempo para reportarme de nuevo al blog después de su visita de marzo en abril tuve visitas de mis suegros por una semana ahora por fin el hogar vuelve a tener calma y orden, el sadhana está bien algunos días mi bebé me despierta a las 2 am otros días puedo descansar y levantarme temprano soy honesta me cuesta pero el deseo de continuar está muy presente en mi, gracias por sus palabras e instrucciones.

Por aquí mis hijos mayores comenzaron a asistir al colegio entonces ahora hacemos tareas y preparamos a Jay y Gopal para sus clases así que estoy adaptándome a la nueva dinámica familiar.

En nueva Govardhan esta semana nos a visitado Bhakta Ramón hicimos programa en la mañana y en la tarde también Ramón ayudó a colocar cerca en el terreno de frente y ahora Nandita tiene su amplio hogar para moverse libre.

Llegaron 2 Tulasis más a nuestro hogar por la misericordia de Tulasi Maharani están creciendo fuertes y con muchos manjaris en el jardín de lavanda y romero, Krishna Balaram reciben flores frescas cada día le comparto algunas fotos.

Desde el fin de su visita estamos en contacto vía WhatsApp con Dhruva & Dhanesvari tenemos el plan de que vuelvan a visitarnos próximamente, conseguimos buena amistad y aprecio con ellos deseamos colaborar juntos. También estamos platicando constantemente con Karuna Shakti y familia de Sacinandana. Como dice a Gadadhar el 50% está echo ahora el resto 50% podemos desarrollar maravillas nos conocimos un poco más entre hermanos espirituales diferentes perspectivas, carácter ohh dramas🤔

? jeje en mi experiencia personal convivir con mis hermanas espirituales mayores como Dhanesvari, Gopi Radha, Chandra Mukhi, Asta Sakhi, Yugala, Karuna, Mani Kundali cada una fue un rayito de luz en mi corazón verlas y tener su magnífica asociación, definitivamente guardo en mi 💞

tan bonita convivencia trascendental y aprovecho para agradecer a cada uno de los visitantes por su servicio y participación en el campamento ASA. El programa de predica en Monterrey continua Bhakta Guillermo dirige cada domingo la lectura bueno parece buena respuesta de audiencia y Gadadhar asiste después de cocinar en el restaurante.


De mi parte su sirviente Gadadhar y Ananda-maya le agradecemos su tiempo en Nueva Govardhan queremos hacerle saber que siempre tendrá una invitación a volver si usted lo desea y Krishna lo permita🙏

.

No deseo quitarle más su valioso tiempo Gurudev deseo que se encuentre bien :)

Hare Krishna, dear Guru Maharaj

we are aware of your news in your base camp in Tennessee,


I took time to report back to the blog after your visit in March in April.


I had visits from my in-laws for a week now finally home has again calm and order,


the sadhana is fine some days

my baby wakes me up at 2 am,

other days I can rest and get up early

I am honest it is hard for me but the desire to continue is very present in me, thank you for your words and instructions.


Around here my older children started school so now we do homework and prepare Jay and Gopal for their classes, so I am adjusting to the new family dynamic.


In Nueva Govardhan this week Bhakta Ramón visited us, we did a program in the morning and in the afternoon. Ramón also helped to set up a fence in the front field and now Nandita has her spacious home to move freely.


ASA - 🐒 🐒 🐵 🐮 🐄


2 more Tulasis arrived at our home.


by the mercy of Tulasi Maharani they are growing strong and with many manjaris in the lavender and rosemary garden,


Krishna Balaram receive fresh flowers every day, I share some photos with you.


Since the end of his visit, we are in contact via WhatsApp with Dhruva & Dhanesvari,

we have the plan that they will visit us again soon,

we get good friendship and appreciation with them,

we want to collaborate together.


We are also constantly talking with Karuna Shakti and Sacinandana's family.

As he says to Gadadhar 50% is done, now the rest 50% we can develop.


wonders we got to know each other a little more between godbrothers different perspectives, character

Ohh dramas🤔?


he he, in my personal experience living with my older godsisters like Dhanesvari, Gopi Radha, Chandra Mukhi, Asta Sakhi, Yugala, Karuna, Mani Kundali,

each one was a ray of light in my heart to see them and have their magnificent association,


I definitely keep it in my 💞


 such a beautiful transcendental coexistence and I take this opportunity to thank each of the visitors for their service and participation in the ASA camp.

The preaching program in Monterrey continues, Bhakta Guillermo directs the reading every Sunday. It seems like a good response from the audience and Gadadhar attends after cooking in the restaurant.


HpS - He sent a post for the Blog. Let us look at it next.


From me, his servant Gadadhar and Ananda-maya, thank you for your time in Nueva Govardhan, we want to let you know that you will always have an invitation to return if you wish and Krishna allows it 🙏


HpS - 😞 We have so many nice memories. It was such a practical visit. Go ahead developing preaching. What is the closer town than Monterrey? Santo Moreles? Meet people. Give them BG, SB, and let them preach.

New Govardhana will go to the spiritual world no?

Hope your children are super!

Give us all your mercy.


I don't want to take any more of your valuable time Gurudev I wish you are well :)

Urgente Letter from Yugala Kishor

Hk pamho querido Guru Maharaja

Ayer fue un día muy bonito, empecé adorar a Jaganatha medianito, tengo mi JBS en minitura Ud. las conoce, ahora crecieron creo que Subadra estaba muy contenta. Así que mi vida sigue como pujarina como en nueva Govardhan, solo adoración en las mañanas, noche acostarlas, las cambio a las deidades grandes una vez por semana son prestadas, y a mis Gaura Nitai siempre. Por el momento estoy distribuyendo libros, estudiando el SB sistemáticamente para sacar el título BV, me da mucha felicidad hacer ensayos, escribir es lo mío. Y estoy avanzando los planes de lo que conversamos en Mexico. Espero en un futuro servir con mi intelecto, pido sus bendiciones para tener éxito en ese propósito.

Fue muy buena la venida de Prabhu Navina Nirada, nos dio muchas ideas, el grupo de harinama, junto con Prabhu Kolaveca, Caturatma y otros, decidimos incursionar en predica universitaria, empezaremos en San Marcos, donde Ud. abrió las puertas y hay varios contactos. Tenemos un plan, vemos que Krsna está facilitando todo, por ello, una vez que el proyecto esté por escrito, deseamos tener una reunión virtual con Ud. para que nos dé más luces e ideas. Ello puede ser la próxima semana con el grupo, espero le sea posible, una reunión grupal por zoom o gotomeeting pienso que una hora es más que suficiente.

Mientras no trabaje estaré haciendo viajes cortos. Estuve en Chile unas semanas, moría por asociación y servicio, aprendí mucho, vi a Srinat en su bhakti vrksa, Krsna me bendijo mucho, hizo su magia, me cumplió muchos deseos que abrigaba en mi corazón, me encanta la nueva generación liderada por miembros de ASA, con su frescura, educación, actitud de servicio y entusiasmo lideran el templo de Carrera. Siempre traerán invitados Gurus, líderes para motivar a los devotos que por lo general tienen un público juvenil.

Me quedo a la espera de su respuesta, para informar al grupo de Harinama, que se llama Bhakti yoga. Después del ayuno seco estoy algo cansada pero muy purificada. A veces falla mi señal de internet, estoy ideando un plan para organizar mejor mi tiempo, que sea más productivo para mi crecimiento personal. Es muy divertido ser brahmacarini, a veces en el templo, otras fuera, siempre sirviendo, siempre agradecida y libre para predicar.

HK, pamho dear Guru Maharaja


Yesterday was a very beautiful day, I started to adore Jaganatha at a medium age, I have my JBS in miniature, you know them, now they have grown up, I think Subadra was very happy. So my life continues as pujarina as in New Govardhan, only worship in the morning, bed at night, I change Them to the great deities once a week, they are borrowed, and to my Gaura Nitai always.


At the moment I am distributing books, studying the SB systematically to obtain the BV title, it gives me great happiness to do essays, writing is my thing.


And I am advancing the plans of what we talked about in Mexico. I hope in the future to serve with my intellect, I ask for your blessings to succeed in that purpose.


The visit of Prabhu Navina Nirada was very good, he gave us many ideas, the Harinama group;


Together with Prabhu Kolaveca, Caturatma and others, we decided to venture into university preaching,

we will start in San Marcos,

where you opened the doors and there are several contacts .


We have a plan, we see that Krsna is facilitating everything, therefore, once the project is written, we want to have a virtual meeting with you so that you can give us more insights and ideas.


This could be next week with the group, I hope it is possible, a group meeting by zoom or gotomeeting, I think that one hour is more than enough.


HpS - You can see that our donkey moves rather slowly now, but with great perspective. I also hope we can meet soon.


While I'm not working I'll be making short trips.

I was in Chile for a few weeks, I was dying for association and service, I learned a lot.


I saw Srinat in his Bhakti vrksa.


Krsna blessed me a lot, He worked his magic, He fulfilled many wishes that I had in my heart.


I love the new generation led by members de ASA, with their freshness, education, attitude of service and enthusiasm, lead the temple of Carrera.


They will always bring Gurus guests, leaders to motivate the devotees who usually have a youthful audience.


I am waiting for your response, to inform the Harinama group, which is called Bhakti yoga.


After the dry fast I am somewhat tired but very purified.


Sometimes my internet signal fails, I am devising a plan to better organize my time, to be more productive for my personal growth.


It is so much fun to be a Brahmacarini, sometimes in the temple, sometimes outside, always serving, always grateful and free to preach.

HpS/ASA - Very nice. Soon you will have no material body. Even if it appears in the physical world.

Soon we will play with Krsna.
