Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for your response to my letter. It has inspired a lot of discussion. Planning to talk more with Radhika Ramana Prabhu and Anantarupa Prabhu about ISKCON of Boise and The Hare Krsna Temple corporation in a few days when Radhika Ramana Prabhu is here in Boise. Anadi (TP) has many questions and thoughts on the matter. I’m just a simpleton when it comes to this stuff.

The cultural conquest in Boise Idaho is on its way though. Fixing our selves with the morning program and simply just refusing to give up and always putting:

 "Vaisnava relationships above managerial relationships." This is our challenge.

We also have a strong selfish desire just to have more like minded association, more locals, more life at our temple. I have had visions of devotees practicing mrdanga off in the distance, devotees working on art projects outside, gardeners and lively, radical morning and evening programs.

“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.” -Carl Jung

We had a very cool young bramachari visit recently named Brhat-Mrdanga Prabhu. He’s a disciple of Kalakantha Prabhu and he is one of the leading members in establishing Krishna Houses through out North America. I got alot of his association and we had a very nice meeting with him and Anatarupa Prabhu about having a Krishna House program here in Boise. We have a long way to go but the relationship with him has really developed and he will be visiting Boise regularly and is a great resource, well wisher and friend.

For now I am just working on getting trained to take over Kamalananda Prabhu’s maintenance position at the temple in January. Big big shoes to fill.

Thank you for telling me that Prabhupada considered Saint Francis to be a Bhakta. So amazing. We are so inspired by reading about his life and watching “Brother Sun Sister Moon” movie. Do you think he is more of an avadhuta?

HpS - Thank you. Other devotees also commenting about Boise. One very powerful comment was along the lines of what they taught us in the first year of Engineering curriculum, "If is works, don't fix it". 😃

Of course, enthusiasm is more important than patience, but without patience it all becomes passion! 👻

Seems St. Francis was more on Lord Nityananda's side than Advaita's.

Now is 5PM.

One more letter and go for a walk to Nila-Madhava Temple?

your aspiring servant,

Nitisara das

P.S. I would love to work with Jaga-guru Prabhu and help serve his vision in any way if it makes sense. I think there is great potential for the DTC films to be played in independent theaters and small film festivals here. From my own experience in the music world..I may have some zeros that could be utilized.

Thank you Gurudeva!

ASA - We will forward a link to this post to him.

AGTSP.

Thank you!!

Such nice fotos!

Such nice beads...

What is the foto of the "King and Queen"?

We love NVM so much.

All glories to H.H. Hanumat Presaka Swami

All glories to all devotees 🦚 

I bow after you dear Guru Maharaja, following your online mercyful Programs with enthusiasm!

By Your mercy, this aspirant is currently co-offering the traditional Sunday Program and sweet devotees like Gadadhar Gosai Prabhu, are co-offering the new Wednesday Program at the recently renewed Centro de Prédica Krishna Balaram; a Holy Land for the atmic seekers, as mostly new devotees are showing up by the day to serve the Lord! 

For that service, we do have the blessing of having guidance of veteran devotees, like the venerable Adoksaya Das Prabhu.

Also H.H. Guru Prasad Maharaja visited us and suggested an auspicious weekly day for the new Program (the above mentioned Wednesday), which is running smoothly.

In other subject, we know your travel schedule... but we also believe that everything is possible, so you might consider the possibility to come to Montemorelos once more, to be served by Monterrey México Yatra!🐵🙏🏼

ASA/TB-BW et al -

🐶

Haya Chihuahua! Caramba!

We want so much to visit. Was so magical being there for all the programs, transcendental Dhama, but... but... but... we cannot see how it is possible for our body to make such a trip. Even the 2-hour domestic travel from Tennesse to Texas was exhausting. Amazing, yet good, makes us wake up our transcendental life. Our hear tis always with you!

If that happens, we would be extremely glad to focus firstly on an efficient trip from the nearby Houston to Nueva Govardhan and then, to your next destination, and managing everything in respect of a nice Vyasa Puja, devotee accomodation and broad formalities.

Anyway, servants being servants, we just paid attention to follow your nectarean instructions 🥭

Feeling graceful for your holy association, servants of your servants!

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las glorias a nuestro Jagat Guru Srila Prabhupada                                       

Todas las glorias a S.S. Hanumat Presaka Swami

Todas las glorias a todos los devotos 🦚

¡Me inclino ante ti, querido Guru Maharaja, siguiendo con entusiasmo tus misericordiosos Programas en línea!

Por Tu misericordia, este aspirante actualmente co-ofrece el tradicional Programa Dominical y dulces devotos como Gadadhar Gosai Prabhu, están co-ofreciendo el nuevo Programa de los Miércoles en el recientemente renovado Centro de Prédica Krishna Balaram; ¡una Tierra Santa para los buscadores átmicos, ya que en su mayoría nuevos devotos aparecen cada día para servir al Señor!

Para ese servicio, tenemos la bendición de contar con la guía de devotos veteranos, como el venerable Adoksaya Das Prabhu.

También S.S. Guru Prasad Maharaja nos visitó y sugirió un día semanal auspicioso para el nuevo Programa (el miércoles mencionado anteriormente), que se está ejecutando sin problemas.

En otro tema, conocemos tu agenda de viaje... pero también creemos que todo es posible, por lo que podrías considerar la posibilidad de venir a Montemorelos una vez más, ¡para ser atendido por Monterrey México Yatra! 🐵🙏🏼 Si eso sucede, estaremos encantados de centrarnos primero en un viaje eficiente desde la cercana Houston a Nueva Govardhan y luego a su próximo destino, y gestionar todo con respecto a un agradable Vyasa Puja, alojamiento para los devotos y amplias formalidades.

De todos modos, siendo siervos, solo prestamos atención para seguir tus nectáreas instrucciones 🥭

¡Sintiéndome agraciado por vuestra santa asociación, servidores de vuestros servidores!

Ahora que llegó el invierno asisten a mangalartik unos 15 a 20 devotos fines de semana más. Pero en verano el templo estuvo lleno cada día.

Por la micericordia de Krsna manifestada a través de sus enseñanzas hago mi mejor esfuerzo para realizar mi servicio con la mejor conciencia posible.

HpS 👍

Gurudeva dónde se va realizar su vyasapuja? Así los devotos que iremos desde new vrindaban podriamos comprar nuestros pasajes .

Su sirviente Rohini Kumar das

HpS/ASA - As far as we can understand the future we will be in Houston, Nila-madhava Dhama at that time. The date is 11th January, Thursday, and certainly we can have events then and Friday and Saturday. Some are suggesting the formal event on ISKCON property, which can only happen once a year, should be on Saturday.

O.K.?

Your opinions?

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaja. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

Thank you again for letting us camp out with you in Murfreesboro. That was a wonderful time that we are holding on to. Thank you again for tolerating me and engaging me:) 

HpS/ASA - Thank you for your association. We need more and more.

Seems to be some confusion about ISKCON of Boise and The Hare Krsna Temple corporation.

What if we ask our GBC Secretary to make an official Branch of ISKCON Los Angeles as ISKCON Boise, that has a formal agreement with Hare Krsna Center about use of buildings etc?

Too much?

It is like getting married. It is a formality but not a meaningless formality.

ISKCON Boise needs to make a cultural conquest!

We will look at the photos and hope to hear more about our Temple in Boise and everyone.

Hope the Kapi Dhvaja and these Blog posts are adequate.

Feel really energized to see you in the FMS!

H.G. Kalakantha Prabhu was very happy to receive your letter and copy of Tava Pache Pache. I was able to help him with some things around his farm and talk to his cows. Also, had the great fortune to live like a Krishna House student for a couple of days and do some service. These little glimpses and experiences of brahmachari life seem to be very helpful for our grihasta life. We hope to be a full fledged brahmachari  grihastha someday. Not sure if that’s a bonafide term. Maybe what I mean to say is just a matured grihastha. 

We are happy to hear that the fourth DTC movie is complete. Looking forward to seeing this one that is set in Spain. These movies are very inspiring to us on many levels. I have always been around artists, writers, eccentric intellectuals..through out our little life for some reason. We see a great opportunity for these types of people in our circle/village to be inspired by these movies. These people can go deeper and become truly mad. Mad for Krishna! This is a desire I am trying to cultivate. The bridge is there? I just need to say “hey, you got to see this and check out what this guy has to say..”? 

There are a couple film festivals in the area(North West) that I’ve played shows at that I think would be very interested in one or all of the DTC movies. Is it okay if I propose to them/submit? I have good contacts for both. They happen annually. 

Then eventually I want to muster up the strength to get the first movie into the Egyptian theater downtown. They play all kinds of stuff and quite a lot of independent films and documentaries. So why not Diary of a Traveling Creature: The Ultimate Trip on the marquee !? 

The GoTo meeting morning program has been very good for us. Very helpful in setting the right perspective for the day with your association and the devotees. Propels us into our local program!

So much struggle with the false ego though and our ignorance and remaining enthusiastic. Making baby steps and falling down a lot but always lifted up by your mercy.

This quote often comes to mind when trying to get through the work day and when cultivating my monkey mind to get my rounds done early(: “Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible” 

-Saint Fransis 

ASA - 😮 Amazing! Just amazing. Prabhupada said that St. Francis was a BHAKTA!

We have sent film number four to our Board of Director's for their comments and then we will do a larger Critic's Review, we hope with a copy for you, then Gala Release. We hope Jaga-guru Das in Chile can lead this.

Maybe you can work with him.

Invite devotees from Chile to Boise!

Thank you Maharaja !! 

Your aspiring servant, 

Nitisara das 

P.S. here are some pictures from the RY festival: 

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj Please accept my respectful obeisances All Glories to Srila Prabhupada All Glories to your Service and immense Sankirtan. I pray that the Lord always grants you improvement in your health I begin my report by thanking you for always inspiring us with your example.

My sadhana is good (although it could be better), four regulative principles, 16 rounds and gayatri mantra (maybe sometimes not at the corresponding times) ok.

Worship at home with Lalita Madhava, distribution of prasadam and music.

I am pursuing BS in its final stage (studying Upadesamrta), Bhagavad gita, Sri Isopanisad and Nectar of devotion ok, my teacher Priya Sakhi.

Guru Maharaja please instruct me on how to face certain adversities with respect to service, many times I see how far away it is to be able to have an advance in my spiritual life because every day I must fight with my ego and work on my character (it is difficult for me not to react to unfair situations of negligence) but I know that Krishna always controls, but many times this attitude works against me, how should I act?

I have asked devout brahmanis for advice. I know that the attitude is to be submissive, but should I always be submissive, even if the situation is unfair? CC Ādi-līlā 7.50, I think pure devotees like you can only have this attitude, how can we kaniṣṭa-adhikārī devotees achieve this attitude?

If madhyama-adhikārī is too big for us sometimes.

Currently I am still doing worship service (until two weeks ago) and in charge of the Initiation Committee, it has been hard, we were mainly 4 members and now only 2.

Guru Maharaj this service has been unpleasant for me at times because it demands what our GBC gives us, the devotees think that it is personal, my attitude is to provide service in a favorable way and with the intention of being a contribution, but I think that perhaps I have completed my cycle in this service, you in the previous letter recommended that I try, it will be that I have already completed my cycle?

Currently there is a significant decline in devotees who are not going to the temple due to unresolved internal problems, for work or because they have simply stepped aside due to unresolved issues, that makes me sad.

What is the attitude I should take in this situation? Waiting for your instruction Your would-be servant Manjuali Devi Dasi November 5, Santiago de Chile.

HpS - Hare Krsna! Thinking about you so often and now we hear from you, thank you.

Your question is like 99% like the question that Sadhubhusana from Manipura just asked.

Did Sriman Lalita madhava Das go with us to Manipura one time?

Please read, translate.google.com {?}, https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/14443/.

Is O.K.?

There are some details in your questions that are not in this letter to S Bh Das, but most.

Others we have already discussed, no?

How long have you been on the Diksa community? Did you make an arrangement with GBC et al for how long you would do it?

So many times we have suggested that that is essential aspect of administrative service.

Please, give us your comments on letter to S.Bh. Das.

Any news from, dreams of your father?
