Thank you! Were all talking about your Sankirtan in some detail yesterday and hoping for this report.
HpS/ASA
Hare Krishna Maharaja, please accept my humble and respectful obeisances. All glories to Prabhupada!
First, I would like to apologize for not writing here sooner. I’m starting to understand that it is just a service that I need to do consistently. I have written so many things to you actually but never sent because I got too caught up in perfecting something or trying to impress you. A big realization I had when you were here in Boise is that there is a difference between trying to impress the spiritual master and trying to serve the spiritual master.
HpS - Thank you for that! I will try to apply it!
So I want to serve you and please you by doing my duty with integrity.
HpS - We are really like a carrier pigeon in terms of being a servant of Srila Prabhupada.
I have a long way to go but I see a small light at the end of a tunnel that leads to another and then to another tunnel..there is no end or final destination but the path is laid out and you are my connection to the path of Bhakti. Your example and your mood continues to inspire me and give hope and fresh new meanings to the most elevated topics.
I have felt some deep separation from your physical presence but hearing your online classes, watching your movie! and reading your poetry has provided some solace.
Aja and I are singing the Nrsinga Dev prayers for you every morning on the way to school and I am praying for your protection.
I had a pretty successful tour through California recently and got to sing some Hare Krishna to some decent hearted people every night.
Got to visit many temples in California as well and had some really nice association. It gave me strength to go on stage and face the crowds each night.
I still always question if Krishna wants me to do this or not.
HpS - Mother Yasoda is trying to figure our if she should continue to give her milk to Krsna or save His cow's milk from boiling over.
Nice purport!
SP gives answer to your question.
I'm really trying to put my rounds first before any artistic or creative endeavors. The result is always better but this is very difficult at times.
HpS - For me too, but learning.
This was one of your first instructions you gave me actually. I’ve made some progress.
So things in Boise have been going well despite our dire need for a pujari (more on that later). There is a nice group of devotees that are coming to the morning program pretty regularly. Krishna Lounge continues to bring new people in. And the ones who show a lot of enthusiasm we are trying to inspire them and engage them further so that they don’t just become life long loungers lol. We are talking about starting a Krishna House on the board level.
Kalakantha Prabhu is willing to help and possibly send us a full time ashram leader. I’m praying for a “home grown tomato” that might be able to help on the altar some day.
I’ve been giving class more and more at KL but also on Sundays and I’m starting to enjoy doing it for the first time. I thought I would never give class so Krishna is surprising me by giving me these opportunities.
It’s very humbling actually and what I like most of all is the intense pressure and push it gives me to read and internalize things and before I give class I also tend to be more serious and determined to chant my rounds well. I have a long long way to go. I feel like a baby learning how to walk or something.
HpS - Then it is internalized for external presentation.
So our head pujari is getting a job so he will no longer be doing his services starting next week so I have offered to do some pujari services only if I get your permission and blessings first. What do you think?
HpS - Answered in post from Anandi radha Devi Dasi.
To be honest it is not something I feel especially inclined towards but it seems like it’s the right thing to do because Anadi might get very burnt out on it and we really really don’t want to lower our deity standards. There are also rumors that
Anantarupa Prabhu might take the deities away if They are not worshiped properly so this gives us much anxiety. You said once that we should experiment with different services because we don’t really know what we will get into until we try it. So I have thought about this in regards to me trying the pujari service out. I think that I get really stuck on my particular archetype or persona of being a Sudra/musician/ carpenter person but I see that with your mercy coming down through the Parampara…anything is possible. What ever Krishna wants we can do if we are willing and if we make our selves available to receive the mercy. I see how following the four regulations strictly is a big part of this. I’ve known that you have to follow strictly of course for a long time but recently the subtle elements have become more apparent. Like I heard recently that speculation is subtle form of gambling. So I am trying to speculate less but it is difficult.
So much more to say but I will leave it at that…
I hope your travels are going well. I wish I could see you in India. Please come back to Boise.
Your aspiring servant,
Nitisara Dasa
P.S. We were very enlivened by watching your documentary. Particularly the scenes by the ocean and the sound track. Looking forward to the next segment:) Hare Krishna! Oh and I planted a garden at the temple inspired by your talks on the industrial revolution ending and it is giving us lots of squashes, rosemary, zucchini’s for Radha Bankibihari and soon we will have pumpkins…🌱🕊🐣🪷🎶💐🌀💎🦁
HpS-ASA - Very nice letter, report ... (little long) ... but very nice!
Very nice work.
ISKCON lives or dies on the service in the Boise Temple.
Respects to Anantarupa Das!!
More News soon.
Hare Krsna Maharaja.
Por favor acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!
Maharaja, espero se encuentre bien.
Respondiendo a Sus preguntas de última carta.
Con respecto a Su película/documental:
HpS - Pienso es 75% bueno. Otros también. No es mal 75% por primero esfuerza, no? Era 75% perfecto en su trabajo del Presidente? Mas?
Para nosotros la película/documental es un 100% buena.
Nuestro trabajo de presidente tal vez 50% o menos.
Sobre aspirantes a Refugio Formal:
HpS - Bien bien!! No puedo 'recognize' Iksvaku. We saved the names with birth day and email and then erased it from the Blog.
Enviamos una foto de Iksvaku, en el día de aparición de Srila Prabhupada (2022)
HpS - Super! Cual es su trabajo professional de Grhastha???? Va a ser Presidente de Chile? San Martin?
Mi trabajo es de Ingeniero de Soporte y Energía en "Data Center" (Servidores de información de diferentes empresas). Vemos suministro eléctrico.
Somos como Gandhi, un político entre santos y un casi santo entre políticos.
Esperamos no morir igual.

Dear Hanumatpresaka Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances, Jaya Srila Prabhupada!
Many preaching activities are going well here in Boise. However, our head pujari has taken a job and we have only 2 pujaris that are willing to do services, 1 of which is unable to do many services for various reasons. This leaves me to pick up the majority of the services which I am unable to do along side my temple president responsibilities.
We would like to get your approval for Nitisara Prabhu to serve Sri Sri Radha Bankebihari on the altar in this emergency situation. A few of us at this temple, me included, have served on the altar before brahman initiation due to similar circumstances with the permission of our guru. Both Ananta Rupa Prabhu and Rsabhadeva Prabhu (former head pujari) have expressed approval with this proposal.
Nitisara Prabhu is willing to help until we find a qualified pujari who is able to live and serve here for as long as they can. Do you know of anyone, Maharaj? We are willing to file an R1 visa, give them nice stipend and room and board.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our temple and we look forward to your next visit.
Please pray for us.
Your servant,
Anadi Radha dasi
HpS - Hare Krsna. please excuse any delay. if you follow us on twitter etc. you will see that were in heaven/hell with this movie filming tour!
Who can serve in the altar should just be according to the Ministry of Deity Worship standard and local standard under their broad authority as far as I know.
Adjust details of rituals, how much paraphernalia to keep the primary elements of:
Love
Cleanliness
Punctuality
going well, no?
Maybe some devotees from South America might like to come. I will put a notice in your Title so that they might see this etc.
The Dietys do not want to hurt anybody! They want you to serve Them according to your capacity.
Haribol también está usted por misericordia de Krisna que da brillo a todo lo que se hace en el servicio devocional a Sr Sr Radha y Krisna.

Hare Krishna querido Gurudeva
pamhoo AgtSP
muchas veces haciendo mi servicio y viendo que las personas que vienen al templo van disminuyendo me pregunto porqué .Si hay motivos externos pero ahora ya las actividades vuelven a l normalidad pero no para el templo y
mi pregunta es si no estamos predicando correctamente
escucho la clase dentro del altar y oigo
porque Ditarastra es ciego pero no solo ciego materialmente sino espiritual también.salgo y una señora ciega con el bastón es ayudada a levantarse e irse
que la degradación de la sociedad lleva a la homosexualidad etc el grupo que venía de estudiantes no volvió etc etc
he encontrado este antiguo manual de la primera etapa es del año 70 y creo que hace mucha falta actualizar la prédica y antes de que los discípulos de Srila Prabhupada se vayan para no perder la esencia se revise se explique quien es Radha Lord Caitanya etc
recierdo en la nueva Vrajamandala un devoto explicando quien eran las deidades que Radha tenia quince años y estaba casada y se escapaba por las noches ha escuchar la maravillosa flauta de Krishna y la confusión en la cara de los invitados
la situación es que si estamos en la situación de enseñar tenemos primero saber que nivel tienen las personas que escucha el mensaje y que nivel de información podemos dar
es mi deseo que un día se haga un protocolo de predica antes de que los devotos antiguos se vayan
veo un vídeo en YouTube sobre las glorias del el Ekadasi y dice
no solo tenemos que ayunar de granos sino incrementar el ayuno el servicio las rondas y reducir el dormir .perfecto
y famoso brahmacary muy entusiasta
pero cuando uno broadcast esto que yo sepa va a tres tipos de audiencia
devotos que viven en el templo minoría y ya lo saben , devotos que viven fuera del templo mayoría que como le explica a un devoto que trabaja en la construcción que haga así el Ekadasi se siente mal por no llegar ha ese estándar
y el tercero es alguien que quiera conocer la filosofía y … sorpresa todos los puntos que los gobiernos avisan que es una secta or cult
oro por la misericordia de Gurudeva nos ilumina para continuar con el legado que nos dejan pero necesitamos que se arreglen estas debilidades y que ahora que hay facilidades para mítines se aborden la necesidad de revisar el manual
no suelo escribir querido Gurudeva y hermanos pero cuando empieza a salir la planta de Tulasi aveces le ponemos mucho entusiasmo y mucha agua y muere con la prédica también

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva
pamhoo AgtSP
many times doing my service and seeing that the people who come to the temple are decreasing I wonder why. If there are external reasons but now the activities are back to normal but not for the temple and my question is if we are not preaching correctly
I listen to the class inside the altar and I hear because Ditarastra is blind but not only blind materially but spiritually as well. I go out and a blind lady with the cane is helped to get up and go that the degradation of society leads to homosexuality etc the group that came from students did not return etc etc
I have found this old manual of the first stage, it is from the year 70 and I think there is a great need to update the preaching and before the disciples of Srila Prabhupada leave, so as not to lose the essence, it is reviewed, it is explained who Radha, Lord Caitanya is, etc.
I remember in the new Vrajamandala, a devotee explaining who the deities were that Radha was fifteen years old and married and would sneak out at night to listen to the wonderful flute of Krishna and the confusion on the faces of the guests.
The situation is that if we are in the situation of teaching, we must first know what level the people who listen to the message have and what level of information we can give.
HpS-ASA - That is very interesting. We look at the Preface to Srimad Bhagavatam by Srila Prabhupada. It is like a Preface to his whole life and mission. How does he start it?
https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/preface/#bb13377
With example the same focus you are describing.
it is my wish that one day a protocol of preaching will be done before the old devotees leave
I see a video on YouTube about the glories of Ekadasi and it says
We not only have to fast from grains but increase the fast, the service, the rounds and reduce the sleep.
Perfect and famous very enthusiastic brahmacary but when you broadcast this, as far as I know, it goes to three types of audience devotees who live in the minority temple and already know it, devotees who live outside the majority temple who, as he explains to a devotee who works in construction who does this on Ekadasi, feel bad for not reaching that standard and the third is someone who wants to know the philosophy and … surprise all the points that the governments warn that it is a sect or cult
I pray for the mercy of Gurudeva enlighten us to continue with the legacy that they leave us but we need these weaknesses to be fixed and that now that there are facilities for rallies the need to revise the manual is addressed
I don't usually write dear Gurudeva and brothers but when the Tulasi plant starts to come out sometimes we put a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of water and he dies with the preaching too
your servant
Dying Murari Das
HpS - ASA = Thank you Murari Das. We have to use www.translate.google. com. We have some spider bites and I think that our body is fighting some virus-poison that they have put in our blood. This is the common situation in the material world, no? You are preaching with a damaged body. All of our readers have same situation.
Wars are not won by perfectly healthy soldiers, but by wounded soldiers who go on fighting.
I think your observations are correct in principle. How to apply them to detailed situations? How to evaluate the effectiveness of the preaching? These are things that we understand require local knowledge as well as broad theory.
Build your Sankirtan partners in your Yatra.
It is not just a mental adjustment. It is by the nature of the internal potency that your Yatra is the leader of the Sankirtan in ISKCON and you are its leader.
Give the best leadership you know. Do the best service you can for your Deities. Listen to the Sankirtan of your other Yatra members and chant to inspire them to higher potencial.
So much more in the SB!
I have never heard of this Manual before. Where is it from? Who?
Thank you, Hare Krsna.
More!
