All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gourangaba Mahaprobhu

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay

Dandavat Pranam

Thank You so much for Guruji's reply and advice from time to time.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji’s padamacharan that I am sending the submitting the report of the Thoubal Mandir. The weather of Manipur specially in Thoubal is dry. The farmers eagerly waiting the rain for cultivation. Now it is the time of rain but last month excess rain destroy vegetable and fish in the firms.

The five members who participated the sankirtan in the last Saturday are

i) Myself, Rajen Singh, Jatra Singh, Manithoi and Suraj Singh.

Rajen Singh has taken initiated from Tirth Swami Maharaja in the last Holy.

Jatra Singh and Suruj Singh are the members who are running the Mandir

And Manithoi is local professional narrator of Mahabharata, Gita  and

Bhagavatam.

This time some more bhaktas and matajis also will participate the sankirtana.

Recently, I had read the 8^th sloka of NOI. It highlights something but not clear all. Last time I asked under which direction ( the eight doors) and under whose guidance (Sakhi & Manjari - among the eight) I will enter the Vrndabana Mandir. Another one is where I will stay after returning from Vrndabana  by sidhi (Gamana-Gaman).

The common believe is that “in Nabadwip no women and in Vrndabana no men” can entered. Please explain.

Yours fallen servant

HpS - All glories to Srila Prabhupad. Hare Krsna. So, so ....... ssoooo nice to have regular communication here in this Blog Sanga. Manipur, Thoubal, so important for ISKCON's development.    Thank you for the Mandir Sankirtan news. Please offer our obeisances to all the Kirtaniyas.

Text Seven did you see... Prabhupada paraphasing, summarizing, the verse, "Adau sraddha...". It starts with the paragraph labeled "The conclusion is...".   This is one of our MOST important verses. To adance to Vaikuntha, then Ayodhya, then Mathura, then ... Goloka, we must understand and apply this verse.

It is from Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.4.15–16).  You can find the complete Sanskrit and another translation by Srila Prabhupad in BG 4.10 Purport.   The questions about which Sakhi we follow etc occur at the level of Ruci in this development as I understand.
Waiting to hear the results of your investigation.

Nitay-Goura=Premanande!! querido y siempre recordado Gurudev,

por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias,

TODAS LAS GLORIAS A SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!

                                                                            Muchas gracias por tener presente a Monkey y a Piggie en su altar, igual que mis tesoros en fotos, por su gran misericordia me mantengo en Sankirtan apesar de que ha cambiado un poco la modalidad para obtener los libros en el Templo, el pago es por adelantado y tambien han subido los precios por el cambio del dolar, en medio de los cuidados para sobrevivir con un riñon que casi no funciona, distribuyo inciensos Hare Krishna de la producción de m. Lavanga, estan muy bonitos pues llevan la imagen de Krishna en la parte frontal y en la parte posterior un verso del BG 7.9  donde se explica el origen de los Aromas que emana del Señor Krishna!!!  .....gracias al entusiasmo de m. Lalita Hirdaya , tenemos una hermosa Tulasi en la casa donde vivo, y justo la ventana donde ella está para recibir los rayos del sol queda frente a mi ventana y la puedo contemplar temprano en la mañana mientras canto mis rondas, ......es bastante dificil salir de la meditación espiritual, para hacer los que haceres materiales pero, el tiempo nos gana y hay que trabajar para cubrir los gastos de Salud, ....le pido mucho a Krishna pueda tener la oportunidad de ir a ver a mi padre, pues, el tiempo se pasa y todavia no logro reunir el Laxmi  necesario para el pasaje aereo......

Prabhu Aravinda extatico organizando Marathones con el grupo de jovenes Sankirtaneros, la ultima vez estuvieron en su bus tour por el Norte del pais, la colecta es para la construcción de un templo en Cueramaro, y tambien se esta gestando una finca con cultivos de vegetales para el mantenimiento de la comunidad Vaisnava.....

                                                                        que felicidad volver a verlo querido Gurudev, aunque sea un pequeño momento en su viaje, ......eternamente agradecida por todo lo que nos está dando, por su ejemplo personal, por su caballerosidad, por su conocimiento, por su humildad, por su sonrisa, ...y muchas cosas mas, que hacen que mi vida se mantenga a flote en este oscuro oceano material!!!

su inútil y torpe sirvienta

I am wirting you to ask for your blessings in visiting our new Bhakti House Center during your next visit to Guayaquil Yatra. We are now in a bigger house and have now more active outreach programs like yoga, cooking courses, kirtan, and Gita reading every week. By Krsna's grace the program is slowly growing and now we are having a small group of friends who are regularly chanting Hare Krishna. We have now opened a prasadam space , serving 4 nights a week, with a group of devotees who now reside here too. 

Maharaja also please let me know if we can again do another conference at the Casa Grande University or at Universidad Catolica de Guayaquil. During your last conference many friends were very happy to come and hear your presentations. Please again guide me on who to connect to in order to arrange the program here in Gye, if you think it will be ok. 

We are very happy to hear that you will be visiting, many of us need your inspiration and association. Please let us serve you in anyway you find it fitting,

HpS - AgtSP! Thank you for this news from ISKCON Guayaquil. Laksman agra ja Das is suggesting we visit Guayaquil during our next visit to South America. That would be end of December and start of January. You should watch for Calender Development and Category B posts here. From that you can get a copy of our Journal, "Solaris", which gives our humble preaching work.

What kind of Gita classes are you doing??!

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay

Dandavat Pranam

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji’s padamacharan that I am sending the report of the Thoubal Mandir.

HpS-ASA -- This is the best news. Better than the New York Times.

Last Saturday the 25th June, 2016 Bonomali Prabhu and Sadhubhusan Das along with 16 other bhaktas of Imphal ISKCON cam to Thoubal and started Nama Sankirtana at Mandir with 5 members from Thoubal. So every Saturday we will continue such type of bhajans and discussion about spiritual matters relating to Sri Krsnas past time lilas. Yours fallen servant Yamunesvara Das.

HpS-ASA -- The Witch, Maya, has no power where pure devotees chant. How is the weather in Thoubal?  Who were the five members from Thoubal who were able to participate????

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

Yamunesvara Das

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.
