HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Have we met before? We don't have any recollection of your good self.

Yes Maharaj, first time in Peru 2008, then in Monterrey, Mexico 2012, I was in charge of the program together with Gadadhara Gosai. After in 2023 in Monterrey. Also in 2014 in Houston.

Have you done book distribution like this before?

We started doing sankirtan in 2004 and in some way or other have been connected with this service since then. From 2010 we started to go more frequently to the universities and by Guru and Krishna's mercy we started this project and now we're asking blessings from all Vaishnavas to follow we this service.

Thank you Maharaj!!!

Your servant,

Jaya Gauranga dasa.

HpS - Is that you in the checkered shirt in the attached picture?

We still can't catch any memory of you!

Ooof! Yet, it is a great honor to be corresponding with you.

Please send us news and mercy from time to time.

B. S. Damodar Swami told us that Srila Prabhupada told him, and we have seen Purports with same formula, that in the secular university environment you fist talk about what is matter. They have their perspective and we can purify it with our perspective.

Then you can talk about non-material aspect to the self eg. it has free will, it is conscious, it has to make moral choices. ATMA.

Then you can talk about Jiva atma and Param atma.

...but you don't go to Bhagavan, mono theism, in the public setting, but if you establish a personal relation with them, then you can talk about God as a person, and even if you don't, if you can bring them to Param atma, then they can also find a personal relation in their own religious tradition!!!



Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja!

Por favor acepte mis más respetuosas reverencias.

Todas las glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada!

Hoy nos levantamos con mucho entusiasmo para poder hacer un servicio para Su Vyasa Puja.

Cantamos 12 rondas y continuamos en la cocina, para hacer una ofrenda antes de abrir nuestro negocio.

Luego con Indira hicimos una guirnalda para Usted.

Terminamos nuestras rondas, y en nuestra casa suena el maha mantra y otras canciones Vaisnavas.

Estamos logrando, por la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada, que las personas compren prasadam, libros y que escuchen el maha mantra.

En este día intentamos glorificarlo a Usted y al Parampara... pero, disculpe si no tengo las palabras adecuadas para glorificarlo... solo puedo agradecer cuando usted me saludó un 26 de junio de 2003 después de la clase del Bhagavad-gita en el templo de Santiago de Chile, y al día siguiente me respondió una pregunta de manera tan simple. Gracias por "hacerme sufrir" cuando quería tomar refugio formal (porque yo no sabía bien lo que significaba). Gracias por castigar a mi ego, porque de otra manera una inteligencia de cuarta clase no entiende. Gracias por las instrucciones: ¡Levántate temprano y canta tus rondas!. Gracias por ser fiel a Srila Prabhupada porque eso nos inspira y nos levanta.

Que Srila Prabhupada y el Parampara estén plenamente complacidos con Su incansable servicio y le otorguen un ticket a la morada trascendental...

Hare Krsna, Guru Maharaja!

Please accept my most respectful

obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Today we woke up with

great enthusiasm

to perform

a service

for Your Vyasa Puja.

We chanted 12 rounds and continued in the kitchen to make an offering before opening our business. Then Indira and I made a garland for You.

We finished our rounds, and in our house we sang the maha mantra and other Vaishnava songs.

By Srila Prabhupada's mercy, we are getting people to buy prasadam, books, and listen to the maha mantra.

HpS - We hope they become eternal friends and eternal members of srila prabhupada's iskcon.

On this day, we try to glorify You and the Parampara...

but, excuse me if I don't have the right words to glorify You...

I can only express my gratitude when you greeted me on June 26, 2003, after the Bhagavad-gita class at the temple in Santiago, Chile, and the

next

day an-swered my

question

so simply.

Thank you for "making me suffer" when I wanted to take formal refuge (because I didn't quite know what it meant). Thank you for punishing my ego, because otherwise, a fourth-class intelligence doesn't understand. Thank you for the instructions: Get up early and chant your rounds! Thank you for being faithful to Srila Prabhupada because that inspires and uplifts us.

May Srila Prabhupada and the Parampara be fully pleased with Your tireless service and grant You a ticket to the transcendental abode...

ASA - 🚙

THANK YOU!!!

can you paint a horizontal line on your wall about the height of the girls? make it artistic. then think about what you can paint bellow and above in KRSNA consciousness.

Dear Hanumat Presak Maharaj and all devotees.

Danvats pranams!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We humbly share with you that, together with Jala-dharaka Prabhu, we are founding a civil association called ALAS - Asociación Latinoamericana de Sankirtan (Latin American Sankirtan Association).

This project aims to distribute 60,000 books a year, as well as offer talks focused on mental health and suicide prevention,

teaching students to practice meditation with the Hare Krishna Mahamantra as a tool for inner transformation.

We have currently launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to legalize the association, acquire a vehicle, and purchase books.

Once we obtain international donor status, we will be able to receive financial support from companies in different countries. Our dream is to travel from Mexico to Brazil, carrying Srila Prabhupada's books and chanting the Holy Name. In the second half of this year, we plan to begin our first trip through Central America, and next year we will continue through South America. With great faith and hope, we ask for your blessings for this project, which we hope will be a sincere offering to Srila Prabhupada in service to the sankirtan movement.

We also share our social media accounts so you can see more details about the project: https://www.facebook.com/share/12GxPVUuj5i/ https://www.instagram.com/asociacion.alas?igsh=bXNudmNodW41YTNn

Feliz Vyasapuja!

Todas las Glorias a Sri Nityananada que es misericordioso con regalarnos la conexión con el movimiento de sankirtana aún sin merecerlo!

Quiero ofrecer mis respetos a ud, que alumbra con su luz al mundo en este día de su auspiciosa aparición en este plano de la existencia!

Rezo a Sri Nrisimha lo proteja mucho como a Pralada maharaja, y nos de valentía para caminar con las enseñanzas que los Acaryas le han revelado y comparte con todos.

Estuvimos en ferias de Libros y ayudamos a los discípulos de maharaja Praladhananda Swami a distribuir su libro de salud, publicado, en su visita a Perú.

Maya me atrapa y juega conmigo, más no borrará, (ruego a Sri Nityananada) mi gratitud a ud y Srila Prabhupada! Mis seres amados. No entiendo los misterios de la vida, pero siempre hay libros de SP que puedo compartir, todo gracias a ud, y soy feliz!

Mi corazón a sus pies!

Happy Vyasapuja!

All glories to Sri Nityananada, who is merciful in giving us the connection to the sankirtana movement, even though we don't deserve it!

I want to offer my respects to you, who illuminates the world with your light on this day of your auspicious appearance on this plane of existence!

HpS - AgtSP!!! Paoho.

I pray that Sri Nrisimha protects you as he did Pralada Maharaja, and gives us the courage to walk with the teachings that the Acaryas have revealed to you and that you share with everyone.

We were at book fairs and helped Maharaja Praladhananda Swami's disciples distribute his published health book during his visit to Peru.

ASA - So nice!

Maya catches me and plays with me, but she will not erase (I pray to Sri Nityananada) my gratitude to you and Srila Prabhupada! My loved ones. I don't understand life's mysteries, but there are always SP books I can share, all thanks to you, and I'm happy!

My heart at your feet!

Gaura KS dd

HpS - Sorry so slow to answer these Vyasapuja letters, but our energy is low. Still it is so nice to hear from devotees!!!

Please send more news from Goloka as you receive it!

All respects to your friends and relations.

Dear Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja,

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

HpS/ASA --- AgtSP!!!! paoho & bw.

It's been a while since i wrote you. Our previous letters and our lost relationship often come to mind. It's not the reason i write you now.

I wish to write to you about current developments of my (devotional) life. For about three years now i have invested wholeheartedly in developing my professional life. Around 45 years down the road Krishna had given me a career and i was happy to accept it. Solid work was much needed in my life, and i applied myself to it. Right now i'm established in my work, i have earned my standing as an environmental inspector for the government and i'm getting some practical results. I feel that i'm able to fulfill that role according to a decent standard. There's satisfaction coming from work, while at the same time weeks are passing by fast and i also note the boredom of life without devotional service. My wife and children are doing well. Our eldest daughter (12) is going to atheneum (scientific preparatory education) this summer and we're very proud of her.

After taking this detour, i feel i need Krishna back in my life. I have to conclude in my stage of spiritual life, i wasn't able to be steady and do two things at the same time. Or three even. Being a devotee and build a new career in life while also being a father. I have gone through some soul searching and some crises of faith, partially related to our society also, but i feel that its time to get back my spiritual life now. I therefore come to ask your blessings.

HpS / ASA - I do not know exactly who you are. 🙂 I am speculating of several cool dudes, who have not communicated. Belgium??

Blessings?

💥Hare Krsna 💥

Whatever work, nehabikramo.. we have done on spiritual path is eternal! Keeps building up. Even for slow learners like me! (and you?)

In the beginning we have to balance (Bh. vinode Thakura). 2am to 10am spiritual life. 10am to 6pm work. 6pm to 2am play.

Goodness, Passion, Ignorance.

Yet.... as we advance.... and you/we are... we begin to see that it is all spiritual. get up early and get your rounds done.... then the 'business' is for Krsna. then the 'play' is for KRSNA. go to the Big Luxury shops to look for exquisite paraphernalia for our altar with our family.

This weekend we've concluded our fourth Amsterdam

HpS - Ah! Now I remember! Eg. Your helping us change planes in Amsterdam!! Thank you. So many memories. The apartment of the professional musician. Professional driving.

Kirtan Mela. We've had 400 visitors, 11 hours of kirtan, and a holy name retreat the day after with 70 attendants. It was such a grand festival, so blissful and fun! Our guest of honor was his holiness Sacinandana Swami, who is very pleased with our efforts. So much so, that he has decided to give the event a permanent place in his agenda.

Our team of four are very happy with how it turned out.

HpS/ASA - I bet Gauranga and His Sanga are also pleased!!!!

There are uncut livestreams on Youtube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nl_kNe9b6EY

HpS/ASA - Really funny!! In what we peeked, nobody is smiling!!! 😆

All very serious Kirtan 😞

😞

😞

God!

Hari bolo!

Krsna is a rascal.

😆 He has dogs!

I don't really know where to go from here, except for picking up my beadbag again and turning to Krishna and His holy names.

HpS - Yep!!! You are a spiritual genius!!!! You got it!

Don't hesitate. Become Guru for your environment.

Set a fixed number of rounds, eg. one a day, and fixed duration eg. one round a day for the next three days, one week.

and then DO IT. Hare Krsna Hare Krsna!!!! (Rupa Goswami and Prabhupada, Nectar of Devotion)

👍

Looking at myself with the honesty that i have, deep down i'm scared to give up my false ego, my "Richard" persona, and his worldly pro's and con's.

ASA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard#People_named_Richard

Most of them are dead or you never heard of them, no?

Well, what do you want your daughter to say:

My daddy was a famous clothing designer, or my daddy was an initiated disciple of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, and my daddy played The Big Mrdanga.

I hope you are doing well, Maharaja. I don't know what's going on in your life and what projects you're working on, but i have full faith in your dedication to Srila Prabhupada. I did hear from my friend Janmastami prabhu how he relished your presence in Spain last fall. I hope you're health is supporting your devotional life.

With kind regards,

Your aspiring servant,

Raghava Pandita dasa

PS. After adding photo's and reconsidering this post and it's title; it's actually unnecessary. Just a cry for attention and approval. The power of observation always comes later than the foolishness. Hare Krishna. Jaya Srila Prabhupada.

HpS - Radhava Pandita. You are a good person.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naoya_Inoue

This guy seems like a half way reasonable person.

He is one of the greatest boxing champions in the world.

Small guy.

In his last fight for world championship he tasted the canvas.

He got knocked down.

Boom!

But he got back up!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Hare Krishna Dear Gurudeva, please accept my obeisances to your lotus feet🙏🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹🎵

All glories To Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories To You my beloved Gurudeva!🙏🎵🌹🌺🌻🌼

Happy Rama Navami!!!

Record this dance that you asked me for a long time ago! :

https://youtu.be/1h_EUUfKyQc?si=kXelClHZ4Ejr5H6y

P.D

Today I was meditating on your request for my commentaries on song 3, Kardama Muni and Devahuti. I remember not finding anyone with whom to discuss this beautiful subject, and I felt frustrated for not being able to please you as you asked. Added to this, I was beginning to know what it means to be a wife and a mother! So, I was very stunned, but I remember that you asked me to save my comments (which I still have) somewhere on this blog, which I never did! Today, Tuesday, May 6, 2025, I realize that my service to you was not in the past, in Chosica, nor when I was physically with you. My service to you is always fresh, it is eternal, and I want to improve it every time. It will never be something that was left in the past because it is what gives me life today and always, and it will be eternally. Please ask me for a service, and I sincerely hope to please you. Forgive me for my shortcomings. His words: I'm always listening to them in my heart, and they're always new; they're not in the past. They're here now, and they're eternal.

Please forgive my unintentional offenses🙏

HpS - We are most enlivened when our "disciples" have dreams, realizations, of Prabhupada, his books, his instructions... 👍
