All Glories to Sripada and Prabhupada

Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Brnda Ki Jay

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji's padmacharan that I had never read such talks with Prabhupada or someone what ever I have read. Prabhu Haridasa also reng  and advice me not to ask such confidential matters through letters or in the blog but it should be dicussed personally. Exuse me for such un etiquate behavious as a kaniska adhikari. Sometimes, I want to site together with Guruji for such personal matters but no time (chance ) as senior brahmacharis surrounded for Guruji's service even I could not touch Guruji's padmacharan. We have so many lapses for training of such personal matters for spiritual advancement, but as Guruji know, who will guide us?

We have another plan and in the middle Dr. Nandalal arranged cultural programme (Goura-Lila) and take many valuable times. During such time if get a chance to sing Harinama Sankritan with Guruji sing and we follow. How  will we satisfy and enjoy to participate Hariname Sankrtana? God nows.

On the other hand, Sanaton one person unknown to me arranged to demonstrate the art exibition on the same programme with Nabadwipchandra Das and colided with our programme. They want to narrate with Guruji about the painted posters by taking some time with Guruji, that also inclompleted.

All these are happen due to non-co-operation by those initiated two/ three bhaktas who are running Mandir in their own way. When we call for dicussion about our Gurujis programme they never turnup and respond positively but at the middle they insurted their wishes. Most members did not turn up for Gurupujah and daksina. It is quite wanderfull. In one sense it might be our weakness.

After hearing about Silchar programme through Haridas, I am so happy that the bhaktas gather their and daksinas donated (dan) to Guruji. That is beyond our capacity. I had given my little daksina  with pure tear from heart.

Lastly excuse me again, Dandavat pranam.

Yours fallen servant

HpS - We are eternal and our relationships are eternal. We can always discuss things in the future. I think Krsna arranged a practical program. Bana Mali Das told me he would start coming every Sunday to Thoubal. That will improve things. Exchanging letters here will improve things. Look at BG purports to verses 10.10 & 11 and tell is what you think.

Dear Hanumatpresāka Swami, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am now back in the USA working very hard to buy a new sankirtana van for book distribution and have better sadhana and relationships with devotees.

I am writing to beg you and the Vaisnavas’ blessings and well wishes in this regard.

Thank you for your encouragement and inspiration. 

Hare Krishna.

Your servants,
Prahlāda-Nrsiṁha das and Chandrānanā devi dasi

HpS-ASA - Hare Krsna! It is very nice to hear from you all. We are still in India. Maybe Krsna will send you a used ice cream trick with super mileage and a loud speaker. SANKIRTAN

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja.

Pamho, AGTSP!

I hope you're OK . I wish I had the strenght you have. I'm lazy and self indulgent, but I'm doing something for Srila Prabhupada and you.

After Chile we had 2 courses with Aravinda Prabhu: FacilitationI and Management and Lidership. 10 intense days. After that we went to Huancayo (central sierra) for a weekend. Gave 2 seminars along with Abhinanda das. One about Srila Prabhupada as founder-acharya of ISKCON and the other one about Filosophy of Education based on your papers and conferences. Right after that we went to Arequipa for a week to give disciples course. 10 new graduates. 

Now, We've just started a new semestre. 10 estudents for bhakta course, Introducción al Bhakti-yoga, presencial and on-line. People from Chosica, Cuzco and Arequipa.

Lots of opportunities on Education. M. Govindanandini in Bolivia is now a NIMSAR member giving the bhakta course. We are helping her and P. Karunya Nitay from Ecuador to get the qualification to teach disciples course in their own area. We are going soon to Ecuador and Bolivia to help them. Then Cuzco and Tarapoto. Maybe Chiclayo.

NIMSAR is progressing. We are very excited. We are trying to get a proyector, etc. Always politics bothering...but we are doing our job.

We are trying to work on BVB as well. M. Candra mukhi and I. She's researching about application and I just started revising all the study guides. 

The idea is presenting BVB by modules. First Pada padma, etc. Our goal is to start all over again by August, with your blessing and actual help.

Please, again, we need your blessings to advance. I thing NIMSAR and I are working with sincerity and comittement for the sake of ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada and you.

your servant,

LAD

HpS - But what about your and protect in Chile? Baladeva had great meetings with Rama giridhari Das in Mayapura

DIARY OF A TRAVELING CREATURE January – March 2016 By Tom Brown (Monkey) and Buck White (Piggy) ANJANA SUTA ACADEMY www.JayaRama.us Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Here we are, Tom Brown and Buck White (more graphically know as Monkey and Piggy), with Hanumatpresaka Swami at the ISKCON Kolkata, Albert Road Temple. It is about 83⁰ F here at 5AM and by 5.30AM the sky is just becoming light, the mosquitos begin to gently search for blood and the jungle flowers secrete intoxicating perfumes. During January we trans-versed South America and then reloaded in the USA for this Asia trek. This involved 36-hours from: Murfreesboro, Tennessee to, Nashville, Tennessee to, Newark, New Jersey (where we were in transit for 6-hours and met a retired Sea Captain of the big international oil tankers) to, Brussels (where we met a Catholic Priest) to, Delhi where we rested for 2.25 very nights and did 5-lecture/cultural programs with 200-600 people each. Our driver one evening was a very nice gentleman with a very nice car with nice A/C whom Uncle Gismo harassed until he explained the difference between cellular 3G and 4G connections. He managed about 500 Erickson Engineers who developed the towers and all else for about one third of the world. Back in the aluminum Wiener. One night in Dr. Samaresh’s house in Kolkatta and the next day sharing a taxi from Kolkata airport to Mayapura with two ladies, sisters, from Peru, living in Australia, HpSwami’s disciples. Mayapura is the birthplace of Sri Krsna Caitanya about 1486 AD. Many Bengali organizations have Temples and Cultural Complexes there and the ISKCON one stands like a Tyrannosaurus amongst smaller dinosaurs. It is jungle, farms along the banks of the Ganga, four hours from Kolkata. Oink! Oink! Whoop! Whoop! We really hope The Rooster of Peru is appreciating all the purposeful, though possibly mad, austerity. For ten daze we were in Mayapura ISKCON. There was a mass conflict between different administrative divisions a week before and one of HpSwami’s students was pummeled unconscious. We were there for the ILS meeting (ISKCON Leadership Sanga). About 1,200 ISKCON second level leaders from around the world were there. The last three days we got sick - cold and fever. Our room-mate was our old friend Sukadeva Swami, formerly a doctor, from South India. We were representing the ISKCON Ministry of Education. HpS gave one presentation during three different slots on “Harvard, Oxford and the Bhagavat in Dialog”. It was sold-out every time. The MOE did nine more presentations in the over 240-other slots. Lot of work. We also had to organize and attend MOE administrative meetings, Spanish language lectures and meetings, feed the elephants, visit Srila Prabhupada’s Samadhi Mandir, check-in with people left and right, coming and going, that we haven’t seen for months, days, years, decades. HpSwami is a fanatic: Up by 2AM, chanting rosary, reading esoteric classics, writing, bath, barefoot to the Samadhi arati at 4.30AM. The Security Guards and street dogs stand sleepily to salute him and Rtu-raja as they passed by. A loving mother and father, a dutiful king, they can protect you, but the Holy Dhama, She never sleeps. (I guess you get the idea about our life for the past ten weeks. (Reading this, we start to get the idea.)) After Mayapur: Four hours with Hari Das Das back to the Kolkata airport. Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Kolkata to Imphal and Thoubal, Manipur. Now we are in the North East. This makes the jungles of Mayaura look like a Beverly Hills Country Club. Simple villages in the foothills of the Himalayas. Have to shoo the cows off the runway to land. Soldiers with machine guns every quarter mile in the tougher areas. Feelings of love and communal wisdom that bring you to your knees, and remind you of Jung’s words to the scientific elite during the Tavistock lectures: You think that these ancient Indian and Chinese cultures were fools. They aren’t the fools. We are the fools. They have a realization of introspective life that is simply marvelous. In terms introspective psychology Europe is just a peninsula of Asia. HpSwami has been trying to help there for 10-years, after his Sannyasa Guru, B. S. Damodara Swami died as a result of a bomb blast. HpS is obviously a stupid white-man but the people were traveling by bus, car, buffalo for even three days to join the festivals and in the end they donated 100,000 Rupees, even 10 at a time, for the progress of this Peru-Manipur dialog, and pledged there intellects and talents to the effort. All this has been in a foreground of our background of Professor Samaresh and Dr. Kalyankumar. During the 36-hours in Delhi, when we first landed, we were able to meet with Dr. Kalyan. He was in charge of the administration of all the primary schools in Uttar Pradesh, about 800,000 children, National Education Development Institute and National Fine Art’s Academy. His view has been so parallel to ours, Hector Behar and Ramon’s et al in Peru and the drift that we profoundly feel in Prof. C. G. Jung’s perspective, that unless we nurture, serve, these traditional cultures, then we have a funeral waiting for our souls and the existence of human life on the planet. So here, we let our borrowed ASUS Net book take rest. It is 3.15 PM. We spent one hour with one of the Temple Brahmacaris tranfering Light of the Bhagavata files and our old but happy eyes are about to collapse. Enough work for one day. We will send this report and in the next week we hope to have substantial progress on our written contribution to the Symposium in Peru in June, Miguel’s magazine and our other ASA and NIOS efforts. We are still planning to leave this body (through the mouth?) November 2024. Please write to us. We cannot live without your mercy.
