your aspirant to servant .

             HpS - ASA - AGTSP!  So, so, so, so nice to hear from you. We WISH we were in Chiclayo! Maybe Krsna will take us there. He does the most amazing things. Don't think the biggest miracles are not possible. Yes, Ajatasatru Das should please write to us, the Blog!   We all want to know his adventure as guest of the USA government. Very, very good with the Intro. Bh.Yoga program. Are you keeping the principles, Mangala-arati? What are you growing in the Cakra. How is the Payonidhi Das. Who else is there regularly???

Hare Krishna Maharaja, please kindly accept my most humble obeisances; All glories to his divine grace, Srila Prabhupada; All glories to your devotional service.   I trust that all is well with you in your own devotional service to Srila Prabhupada.  Often I think of  you, wishing that I could be in your association.  Yesterday, Friday, I was able to attend the Srimad Bhagavatam class from Hawaii for the first time in over a month, and you were giving class.  I chose to just listen quietly, rather than annoy you with some blatant interruption just to say hello.  

Since the beginning of this year I have been visiting the prison where Chandra prabhu works, giving Bhagavad gita classes every other f week.  Because many inmates choose to leave at some point during the class, the prison authorities have chosen to exclude them from attending, as mandated in the prison protocol for all visiting religious programs.  The result has been a small handful of inmates who are seriously wanting to study Bhagavad gita in a systematic order.  To this end I have decided to teach the Bhagavad gita using the study guide from Bhakti Shastri.  

I was hoping that you would approve of my actions, even though I myself have not accomplished the study guide and received a degree in Bhakti Shastra.  If you feel that it is inappropriate for me to take this action, then I am at a loss as to how to procede, because these inmates are very eager to begin their study, and for me to obtain a degree in Bhakti Shastri would take time.  So do you think it appropriate for me to begin teaching Bhagavad gita using the Bhakti Shastri manual, even if only in some unofficial manner?

             ASA -Yes! Sure!!

After all, I would think that more important than the certification of education is the education itself and the spreading of transcendental knowledge whenever and wherever possible, regardless of formalities.

I don't wish to sound arrogant or independently rebellious in light of Iskcon's protocol for Bhakti Shastri, but I just want to make sure that I have some shelter if I begin this service in some informal manner.  Anticipating your reply: Hare Krishna.

Yls, Bbd

     HpS - Its nice to hear from you. We will be in Boise in just a few weeks. Our www.jayarama.us/kd/cal.htm is always updated.

The only thing about formalities is if the inmates want a ISKCON certificate. Of course the real examination is the time of death.

All glories toSrila Prabhupada. Dear Gurudev, please accept our respectful obeisances. After your last visit to Mexico, there was a need to improve the Sunday program ASA Kids México. For that reason we were thinking that with the help of the temple authorities, we can acquire   the “Hare Krishna Sunday School Program”, which was created by Mother Tapasvini dasi and Sangita devi dasi. The program is divided amongst 3 age groups: Madhava (6-8) years old,  Damodar (9-11) years old and Madan Mohan (12 – 14 years old). Here is the link if you want to check it out. http://harekrishnasundayschool.com/  We trust this program will help us give better tools for the good Krishna Consciousness development of our children community. As part of this project we will translate the program so future generations can have the benefit it offers. We would like to know your opinion about this plan, so we can continue working under your divine guidance. Thank you very much for you precious time, we pray so we can have your blessings so we can continue serving Srila Prabhupada through our children community. Your servants, Gopi Radha and Anuradha DD. ASA Kids México

HpS - AGTSP!  paoho -- As I know the program it is very good and has been used successfully in many Temples. Maybe somebody else on the Blog can make a comment. It may already be translated! Such nice work you are doing. Maybe Krsna will be a student in your class in your next life.

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances,

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Thanks for your answer. I see. Yes, You are right, $10 + postage/each is too much.

Maybe it would be better to scan the pages and upload it to jayarama.us or send it via e-mail.

It's cost-effective and fast.

What do you think about it?

Otherwise if you need to type your hand written stuffs in the future (and i can read it :) just let me know  i'm happy to assist you.

Maharaja, i would like to start my BhVai study. Will be a beginner group nowadays what i can join?

Thank you very much.

All the best.

Your servant, Sri Radhe dd

HpS - AGTSP - $10 is not too much. We are finally ready to mail some Tpp-cbs, and one will go to  38 Clarendon Road.

Piggy's plan has been to make photo copys of 1-5 and then send out an original copy as a sample to interested people like your good self. Then after Number Five we will use 8-1/2 x 11 paper and make quality photocopies.

Do you have the Bh. Sastri Diploma???

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudeva

Please acept my humble obisances

All glories to Srla Prabhupada.

sankirtan is necessary to live so we went out on Saturday to nearby villages .

nectar is studying the books , we are doing a campaign to promote the study of books , I would like to know what you think about Dear GM bhakti Shastri .

             HpS - Jaya. AGTSP. Is very nice. We have our Study Guides. Really is nice just to read the books in association with other devotees. Then automatically your system of study will develop.

GM I want to serve you well but these senses are very attached to material enjoyment constantly biting me and keeps me in a fluctuating state with my rounds and my service, in this unfortunate situasion not to be a pure devotee but also be by maya full . please explain to me how  should i do to get spiritually advance  ?

HpS - Just what you are doing. There is not special trick. Ask devotees who live with you, see you often what you should do. Of course, Krsna's in your heart (BG 10.10-11) so He will also give you advice.

Your eternal servant
Vrajendra kumara Das

              Are you planting trees?

Hare krsna AGTSP, PAMHO 

Dear Gurumaharaja!!!
20 bcaris and we hope more by the end of the summer. The chicago temple is in the best moment ever. This is historical. Therfore my sadhana on such steady atmosfere it could not be better. 16 rounds, jumping in mangalarati every day.
This summer is going to be very busy. Here is a summary of my preaching activities to the latin people.
Book Distribution regularly 4 days of the week. 1 new person every weekend. Hoping increase faster the number of member in latin group. 50 members before i leave chicago?
Bhakti club at Truman Collage. Succesful program. Attached picture.
Food for life. I'm involved on organization and our latin group is engaged in this recently.
Bhakti Vrksa where we cultivate through seminars new people. Spiritual Scientist course.
and diferent services in the temple.

I dont have questions about visnu tattva for you. I know that krsna is the Controler and I m his servant and that is enough for me. It is wrong not to have these tipe of questions?

              ASA - Hmmm. If you are reading then you should be getting practical, exciting questions, no? He is my Controler, but what does He want from me today, for example? Mother Yasoda had to make decision about what service to offer!
Im reading regularly and I already finished 2 canto of BV with Param Padam, but is only an acceptance. I dont feel this like a problem. Can you give me guidance gurudeva?

             ASA - We don't understand. What does, "Only an acceptance" mean? Very interesting.

Finally, the temple president, Nityananda Prana is asking me about  you all the time and he really wants to invite you. These last to weeks Radhanath S, Romapada S, BB Govinda S, Danavir Gos visited us and waiting for Gunagrahi S and others. This temple has a lot of oportunities in preaching field to offer Gurudeva. And the congregation really want your transcendental asociation.

Shold I give to Nityananda Prana the email for disciples to be in contact with you? Or may be another one?

I know that you are extremly busy and your health is not always good, and i can visit you wherever you are, but they are asking me.

              HpS - Ooof. Health is O.K. It is just a result of "energy". At 66-years old we have that kind of energy, so we have to "act our age". I think we can visit, but have to get our preaching programs a little more defined first!

Well thats all for now. I'm gonna work hard to finish my mision here.

HpS - ASA - How much longer will you be there??? What is you plan. Our respects to Nityananda Prana Das.

Srila Prabhupada ki Jay!!!!!!!!
