Respected Maharaj,

Please accept our humble and respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!
 
Hope you've comfortably reached your next destination, to preach the message of Krishna consciousness in service of Srila Prabhupada!
 
We are writing to express our sincerest gratitude, for very kindly coming to our Yatra and giving us your purifying association. Thank you very much for your inspirational talks on variety of Krishna conscious topics and your personal association. In just 6 days you attended 6 programs at different places, personally met many of the congregation devotees, everyday conducted full morning program etc. all for our benefit. During this time we've received many instructions/guidance from your holiness. We pray at your lotus feet to empower us to follow them as it is, especially the one where you mentioned how we should handle praise and criticism without getting disturbed, when we are in a servant leadership position and how to keep up the enthusiasm - by keeping the intelligence fixed on two things - 1. What is the goal and 2. how to get to it. Thank you, Maharaj!!
 
We are in separation, and we hope and pray that you will return soon. Please forgive us for our mistakes in your service.
 
With our sincere prayers at your lotus feet to bless us for chanting the Holy Names offenselessly, we beg to remain.

your servant
Divyanam Das

Gauranaga. Humbles and Glories.
I just read the Kapi Dvaja. In New panihatti Dhama I was personally introduced to Srila Prabhupada by Tamal Krishna Goswami, that weekend in February 1975. He brought me in and had me set a flower on Srila Prabhupada's desk and said "This is Bhakata Michael , he joined our party at a young age." Prabhupada looked at me and said "Very good."
 
Then Srila Prabhupada said "You are all Vaikuntha men," (we were immaculately shaved up and adorned with tilak and dhotis.) "I am very grateful that you are assisting us in distributing our literature. I am always thinking of you boys in the vans." and " Stay brahmacharya if you can. My guru maharaj went directly from brahmacharya to Sannyas, You will save yourselves a lot of trouble if you are able to do that."  He added that "You have a good leader with Tamal Krishna Goswami, you follow him and I will be pleased." 
 
Yesterday the wife and I went to El Rancho for sankirtan. 5 people bought Srila Prabhupada's books from us. The last one to a man that had repeatedly gone to Kalachandji's restaurant. Everyone got a maha flower garland from Sri sri Radha Kalachandji. 
 
We are months away from being able to get to Mayapur. In the mean time, I have a lot of work to do and there is the sankirtan mission of Lord Chaitanya to worry about. 
Yours, Mishra Bhagavan Dasa
 
HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna!!!   AgtSP.    Seems to me that you and Arron can live together peacefully and help each other.  It comes from realizing that I have to decide to be happy and not depend on others, using their association to become happy and not sad.
Of course, always heading for more renunciation.
 
We posted your letter as it is in our Blog.
We are in Houston lecturing and on "Lord Caitanya, the Ideal Preacher of Srimad Bhagavatam" in preparation for Gaura-purnima and we have distributed 15=TLCs so far!
Thank you.

to talk with. We talked with your about Beverley and she can't record and interview but said she would write for 'Solaris'.

Endote, 2 - When we get to Peru let us discuss the Journal, magazine.

Endote, 3 - Who will be joining the Dialogs? Are there questions we are going to discuss? Can everyone give a sumarry of their answers to the questions before we meet?

para hablar Hablamos con usted sobre Beverley y ella no puede grabar y entrevistar, pero dijo que escribiría para 'Solaris'.

Nota al pie, 3 - ¿Quién se unirá a los Diálogos? ¿Hay preguntas que vamos a discutir? ¿Pueden todos dar una suma de sus respuestas a las preguntas antes de que nos encontremos?

Initiations urgent

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

AGTSP,PAMHO

B Miguel Angel asked me for some help and clarifications

Ganga mataji showed him an email from U where U wrote that You did not know him.. He was surprised because you called him arcángel and also he told me that U know that he has a rock band etc. He took the test for initiation last week and took formal shelter in your last visit.

HpS - Yes, we were confused by seeing his full, big name. Yes, we know him and we wrote to th everyone and him that it seems very proper for him to take intitiation.

On the other hand B Wilfredo Martínez who has already taken the exam for formal shelter I am kind of sure that You did not know him.. Jiva shakti d, lad,me etc do not have good references from him, but miguel angel is fixed in his.service we feel that we need more communication with the authorities.

HpS - This Refugee stage is for getting to know people, no?  That is why we ask all Refugees to write to the Blog so we, you, me, he can all get to know each other.

I am attaching some.pictures from B Miguel Angel he is in blue jacket and he has long hair near the Vyasasana

He asked me this as a favor

So sorry to bother U with these things

See U soon

Your useless servant

Candramukhi dd

HpS - Your useless bishop.

Adoracion! Viaje a India.

Todas las glorias a srila Prabhupada

Todas las glorias a guru y gauranga

Su sirviente

Parama Karuna Das

Hps - ASA ---    Very nice!!!   Yes, we hope the program becomes and international tour!!!    Thank you so much for the news, respects to Maharaja.

Report is back!!!

Dear Maharaja Accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet !!

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

All glories to Sri Vijay Gauranga Nityananda Ram!

   I hope you are doing great dear Maharaja!

got great news! a Brahmachari came to the temple, his name is Daniel, and we are very happy to have him here, his presence has changed a lot how things were going in the temple, he is a very disciplined person but also kind and wellhearted devote, We are working in new programmes, like chanting japa on Sunday mornings in groups, also I'm making a program for the kids at the temple on Sundays, so that way their parents can pay full attention to the class and also the little kids can do something they can enjoy and learn about Krishna's past times as Gopal so they can identify with our dear Lord.

 I'm the only Mataji attending to Bhagavad Gita Classes after sadhya aarti and trying to attend to mangal aarti and Bhagavatam classes but lately, since i started to work i haven't been able this week to attend. another matajis go to do service at the temple but they don't stay.

Responding what you asked me, there are 4 people living in the temple, Prabhu Acyutananda das, his son janardana, Prabhu Brahmachari Daniel, and my ex-boyfriend who is the pujari Barshana Gram Das, beside them some devotes come from time to time or to Sunday festival, i live nearby so i go almost every day to do some service.  past days was visiting Brahmachari Prabhu Jay Jay Das,  besides them, no one lives in the temple.

My principals are going good, which they were better but I'm trying to improve myself in many ways. it's hard to pick up the piece and reassemble ourselves together, but i know it's not impossible.  thank you for answering me and taking time to read and write back.

Hare Krishna! 

HpS - We remember that Rama told Laksmana that there is no mistake you can make that you can't correct.   Also, the Bhagavatam is full of falldowns and then get-ups and then back to Godheads!
