All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gouranga Mahaprabhu

Radha Krishna Ki Jai and Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

Dandavat Pranam,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji’s padmacharan that I am so happy to get the reply of my questions of previous letter. It will help me directly in my personal Recently I met local Manipuri Goudiya Veisnaba as Sadhu Sangha. There are some differences of worship patterns Local Manipuri Goudiya Veisnaba and ours. They got the names of Sakhi and Manjari directly when they took initiation, not only that the names of the guides of personal sakhi   and manjari, the duties of the sakhi and manjari, the direction of the eight sides of Vrindavan, age etc. That is why, to get Dasname is up to Nabadwip not for Vrndavan. If we want to participate or enjoy Vrndavan the service of Radharani and Sri Krisna personal sakhi and manjari is complulsory. That also under the guidance of the Spiritual Master’s personal sakhi and manjari. Common belief is that in Nabadwip no women can enter and no men can enter in Vrndavan.

                Most important thing is that after going and back (Gamana and Gaman) from Vrindavan where we will stay?

                I had discussed several times NOI, but Text No. 8 is not directly related of my question. But I will see it again. 

HpS - Hare Krsna. Thank you for your letter. Text Eight describes the different levels of spiritual development as given by Rupa Goswami in the Bhakti rasa amrta sindhu. Adau sraddha... We are following him. He is Rupa manjari following Lalita sakhi. Do you see that? What level are you on? BG 4.10 purport has the verse in Sanskrit.

                Yestarday, Sunday, the 19^th June, Bonomali Prabhu and some bhaktas came to Thoubal mandir and we initiated five members also participated the Sunday programme but Dr. Nandalal did not turn up though he call Banamala Prabhu from Imphal. So that, we could not settled our problem but decided to start name sankritan every Saturday, in a new mandir until they accepted the system of ISKCON.  In the evening a team of around 50 bhaktas from Imphal ISKCON came for Nagar Sankritan at Thoubal and we seven members also participated.

Yours fallen servant

HpS - Very nice. Going on Sankirtan even if there are problems in the Temple. Krsna will give us all intelligence how to solve other problems.

¡Hare Krishna!

Espero que se encuentre muy bien, esta vez le escribo para comentarle que seguimos distribuyendo los libros de Srila Prabhupada, algunas personas que hemos invitado se han acercado al templo a conocer y les ha gustado mucho. Para intentar mejorar este servicio, nos estan ayudando algunos devotos y devotas mayores para continuar con la predica y para que puedan sentirse comodos y atraídos. Garga Acarya Das y su esposa siempre nos estan ayudando y motivando aún más para que esto siga adelante, además de guiarnos con su ejemplo.

Quería comentarle una breve historia que nos sucedió exactamente distribuyendo libros... hace aproximadamente 2 meses conocimos a una mujer que se llevó "en el camino a krishna", estuvimos predicando durante 30 minutos ya que estaba muy interesada, le pedimos sus datos y mantuvimos el contacto por mail. después de algunos días se acercó al templo y asistió a las clases, le presentamos algunas devotas para que hiciera amistad, y con el paso de los días nos comentó algo que recordó.. cuando ella era pequeña, como a la edad de 12 años, le habían regalado el libro "la vida proviene de la vida" de Srila Prabhupada, lo había leído y había entendído un poco pero no sabía como pronunciar el nombre del autor del libro. esto se le manifestó en un sueño, y después de eso emprendió el proceso muy entusiastamente. actualmente ha leído un par de libros pequeños, la ciencia de la autorrealización, el upadesamrta y el bhagavad gita. además esta ayudando un día en la cocina lavando las parafernalias. todo esto nos tiene muy contentos y motivados para salir a distribuir libros e intentar encontrar mas devotos y devotas, aunque como siempre habran dificultades, sabemos que este servicio nos esta limpiando de lo que nos aleja de Sri Krishna.

Por otra parte, hace 2 días llegamos de un sankirtana viajero de 3 días por rancagua, un poco al sur de chile, estuvo muy lindo, bastante austero y dificil pero siempre krishna nos hace apegarnos a él de alguna manera...

Además quería pedirle que por favor me comente algo que pueda hacer desde mi condición neófita para intentar complacerlo, y así motivarme un poco más en este eterno proceso...

P.d: madre Guru Govinda Devi Dasi me pidió que le comentara sobre unas cartas del bhagavad gita que usted le bendijo, por lo que pidió si es que usted puede darle un nombre a ese servicio, ya que lo hemos estado haciendo con varios devotos y devotas jovenes, y nos sirve para trabajar en torno a 1 verso por semana. y me dijo que le dijera esto: "queremos convertirnos en devotos puros"...

HpS ..-.. No entiendo esta???

Su aspirante a sirviente, bhakta martin

HpS - Yo estoy feliz recibir cartas de esta tipo. Solamente estamos intentando compartir con la gente lo que necesitan.

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - Potatoe feet.
   

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Gurudev, Hope you are good in health.
HpS - ASA  ---  Brother Ass is O.K. except for normal failing due to almost 70-years of usage and this Poison Ivy infection. It is not so bad and we are not going to try Steriods again for a few days to see if the body will eliminate it. It is caused a lot by our Pita nature.

    i have sold (Rs. 1500, INR) your one book (Bharatiya Sanskriti), which you had
    given to me for advertising, would hand over the amount, once you are in India.

    i followed up months a devotee for the same book on WhatsApp  but did not received
    positive response. Then i had no other option to sell the book, as i had committed
    to give that to a devotee.

    Continuing the path with your instructions in mind....

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS - You tried to contact Rama-giridhari Das? He has the books.  Try to call him at +91 93 226 91019. How is your Donkey?

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisances
All Glories to Sri Guru & Gauranga
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Thank you for your fast response, and excuse me for my slow response from the last letter, this 3 weeks where intense... At least, we did Gandharva Yajña with Aravinda Prabhu and some of the Grihasthas of the comunity who knows our persons, the documentation of Sri Radha for civil Wedding hasn't showed up yet... About your Questions, we were doing Mangala-aratik at 5:30  5 days/week and 2 preaching programs in Queretaro (we are co-authorities with Vanamali Prabhu (ex-president for Mx. Temple)). Not going so well with rounds but getting them done so far... we are reading a nice book about Garbhadhana Samskara from CTE it includes SB stories with SP purpports.

After the Gandharva wedding we started a sankirtan mini-marathon, for the last 3 weeks.... i missed a lot of rounds, i took note of each of them and right now i am paying the debt; we took the desition to come to Uruapan Mich. for two months with Murli Manohara Dasa (director of a preaching center with gorgeous deities called Sri Sri Nitai Gaura-Candra) , a great great friend of mine, who is also a psichologist so Sri Radha can take a 8 weeks course and i could prepare a project which i want to develop as a service for ISKCON devotees and  also as my income activity.

Please Gurudeva, i want to know if my project is permitted inside of ISKCON before i start to spend next two months doing the plans, i hope you can tell me... The main idea is to create an iskcondesireetree.net---kind of web, for audio and maybe video classes from Gurus/Senior devotees all in spanish for all the latin-american devotees who doesnt speak english. The "job" will be to collect recorded classes from their disciples or local devotees -i have already kind of half a Terabyte of Spanish classes- and also translate more from different ISKCON Gurus from english and edit the audios (as if they where recorded in the temple with instant translation) and also to administrate the web. For that Quest i will be searching for REGULAR donnors and Sponsors who want to promote their services or products on the web. So, is it a possible whithin ISKCON, or is it just pie in the sky?

Thank you SO-VERY-MUCH! for all your effort trying to serve your own spiritual master.

Your aspirant to service
Krsna-kirtana Dasa

HpS - ASA - Of course, you should co-ordinate with GBC authority. Then it is in ISKCON administration. As a project I would say that you need some partners. If it is O.K. with GBC and some partners you can start the project and see what is the result. Work on it for some time, like three months, and see the result. See if there are other similar projects and join with them so that you don't duplicate the work.

Of course, ANYTHING we do will be improved in the very best manner as we improve our 16-rounds. We are damaging any project that we do by minimizing our Japa.

Nice photos!    Best wishes for everything. You seem to be doing very well!!   Just do better.

Hare Krishna beloved and esteemed Gurudev,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

Thank you so much for your inspiration gurudev,

Your fallen servant,

HPS ASA -- Thank you for the list of devotees. Big team. You can change the world. We opened asked reviewed the Link. It is very informative as a record. What I saw. To go from live show to a video is definite work, no?

You have to edit and even better, take some time and directly film the scenes as you are going to show them. E.g. close-ups, cutting from face to face. It can be worth the time. Maybe you have a five minute summary and the whole recording as an archive. If you have two cameras for the live recording that is super. Then you can do very simple editing between the two and her six times the effect.
