Muchas gracias.

HpS - ASA --- Gracias.  1-21 Junio es fijado: Boise, San Jose, Seattle, Houston...   21 Junio hasta 30 Lima.. 30 Junio hasta 14 Julio Santiago.  Es casi fijado.

14 Julio - 26 Julio - Lima, Bolivia, Lima.
Krsna consciousness is the best consciousness in all circumstances. If the students are preparing for tests the best thing they can do is spend some time with devotees etc!  You have to think how to put the vitamins in the proper package!!!
We will make everyone happy in all respects!  Like the Six Goswamis!

All Glories to Sri HpS Guruji Maharaja, Sripada Maharaja and A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Radha Krsna, Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brnda Ki Jay Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja,

Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's Padmacharan that after Guruji's leaving Manipur, my mind could not get peace and always thinking how we will continue Temple Programme regularly. Yestarday, the Sunday we went and participated the Sunday Program and try to convince the systems of ISKCON and start Nama Japa (Loudly) by distribution Mala and Mala Begs to all members present. It is simple but it is very difficult for the new practitioners. Gradually they also will be familier in future. In Manipur specially Gourida Beisnava Sampradaya, Mala Japing is a serious step even the seniors. From the next Sunday we will try to inform the four rules of ISKCON and to follow one by one the steps. Almost all members are seniors so it will take time to give up the old habits. I think, it will be successful if Guru Deva's aasirbad is with us there is no work to be incomplete.

HpS - Thank you so, so,    so,    SO,     S O, much for your association in this trip to Manipur, Assam, Tripura.  It was very nice.  We are trying to join your Sankirtan. Your idea of preaching in Thoubal is also very nice. It will surely have nice result. If Manipuri people can join with ISKCON then there can be benefit for the entire world!!

It is personally my weakness that I could not experss my openion when Guruji is with us but fill emty when Guruji Maharaja left here.

Yours unuse servant

Yamunesvara Das

HK / HR . . .    We have your more recent letter and have already answered it. This one took longer becasue we could not answer any mail while traveling!    Always send us more news of Manipur!

Estimado maharaj Hanuman presaka Swami,

Mis reverencias a ud.

Jay Srila Prabhupada!

Queria preguntarle qud lué opina Ud de hacer  los cursos de filsoofia vaishnava en las universidades de Peru con el Florida Vedic College(FVC)?

Con el BC  de Radhadesh, no es posible y con el BC de Budapest todo es en Hungaro. Como ya tenemos un contrato entre la fundacion y el FVC desde hace 1 año, seria mas practico hacer estos cursos de filosofia cin el FVC en Peru.

Feliz Goura Purnima MaharaJ¨

Gracias y estaré al tanto de su opinion.

Su sirviente,

Bhadra Rupa das

HpS - Gracias. No puedo presentar opiniones exactos, oficial. We have been having very nice conversations with Maha-buddhi Das for several months now. He has started working with Rama-giri-dhari Das with the Goloka Foundation. I would say that you check with the National Council in Peru. I thin Catur-atma Das can put you in contact with them or other Temple Authorities.

What you are doing is a private program as far as I know, like the Oxford Center for Hindu Studies, so you are not claiming to represent official policy of ISKCON. We contacted Sesa Das and he said that he had no specific judgement on the subject.

Also, you can do things for a set period of time and then adjust as needed.

Hare Krsna.

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I am sorry to inform you that we will not be able to come to Spain. Time constraint and financial situation does not afford for us going to Spain.

It is very kind of you to go visit devotees in Spain. And it is unfortunate for us to not attend the sangas there.

We go through everyday life in hope that our character changes to better. That unwanted things in the heart get cleansed. Ceto darpana marjanam … param vijayate sri krsna sankirtanam <img alt="heart" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png" title="heart" width="23" /><img alt="smiley" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" />

I am happy to inform you that there are weekly regular sangas with local devotees in home programs. Usually these programs are nice, simple, and sometimes not so nice regarding the conversation flow and topics. That is my personal view, it may be that for someone else what I consider inadequate is pleasurable. Those meetings happened to be organized in natural way, sprouting from the desire of devotees to do kirtan together. I mean to say, it was not a planned sequence. Now, it looks, we like it.

I you like to hear and see, I am attaching links to few video clips that were made during kirtan at those meetings.

Whenever you like, you can send the data from initiations.

Your servant Namacarya das

HpS - ASA ---  Ohhh!  We shall lament to the ends of our days!    But don't give up hope. Krsna can and does do miracles. Maybe we shall see you in Europe yet!!   We will look at the links.  We will also answer the TLC letters in next couple days!

Become a great devotee. Do great things (if only in Krsna's eyes) for Krsna!!!

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

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

Following is the summary of 1.2.1 and 1.2.5 as discussed on Sunday.

Verse summaries:

V1:

Revising 6 questions:

1. What is the absolute, ultimate good for everyone?
2. What is the essence of all scriptures?
3. Why did Lord Krishna appear?
4. Please describe the pastimes of Lord Krishna.
5. Please tell us the purpose of the incarnations.
6. Where has religion taken shelter now that Krishna has left this world?

V2:

 Being a Vaishnava includes being a Brahmana.

V3:

Vedanta Sutra is the cream of Vedas and Srimad Bhagavatam is the cream of Vedanta sutra.

V4:

Puranas are divided according to three modes.

V5:

There are many questions and answers but only by asking questions about Krishna and getting answers for them will satisfy the soul. 

Next weekend is Gaura Purnima so it was decided that we can review the verses for both weeks (1.2.6-1.2.15) on the Sunday after Gaura Purnima.

Thank you,

Your servant,

Sundari Radhika dd.

HpS - ASA -- Of course, there is a wonderful biography of Lord Caitanya in the Intro to SB! What will happen to the 11.15-11.45AM half-hour during Gaura-purnima????
