Hare Krishna

Please accept my humble obeisances dear Gurumahara.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Reporting after very long time.

Happy Radhastami!

We are living with devotees right to New Ekacakra (Slovakia). Built house (like 86% finished, already living inside). But still many things to do.

This year I had service to organize Janmastami and Srila Prabhupada appearance day. Was very nice experience. And seems next year will have same service if Krishna will want.

Interesting thing happened. Today is Radhastami here and after mangala arati Mahasankarshan Prabhu who is pujari and temple president came to me with idea that I would organize Rathayatra in Kosice (second largest city in Slovakia) - it will be first Rathayatra ever in Slovakia.

I am honored and happy to take the service especially when it came on Radhastami day.

Please give me your blessing so I am able to do this service properly.

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das

Hare Krsna beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP,pamho

Gurudeva I was searching at jayarama.us (archives). I did not find material about VAD.

May you be so kind and copy here the link. If you have any material. I am sure you do have.

Thanks in advance

CMDD

HpS - I cannot think of anything specific. Of course, the instructions of Bhisma to Yuddhishtira in Canto One, Chapter Nine and the Narad Muni's (?) instructions to Yuddhisthira Maharaja (?) in Canto Seven.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

My obeisances at your feet

Dear gurudeva, I am sending you pictures Sri Krishna Janmastami's festival in Mexico Mandir.

Vidagdha, Jayadeva Gosvami, Mukunda, Muni and I helped with some services in the kitchen and altar. The most beautiful thing about festivals is to see the love that devotees have for Krishna. Each devotee has a special relationship with Krishna and serves Him in different ways.

While I was executing the midnight puja, I felt accompanied by you. I saw your photo and you were staring into my eyes reminding me that you are present there. I only help you in your service to Krishna and Srila Prabhupada. Thank you very much gurudeva.

Your servant Gopi Radha DD.

Pamho agtsp

Hare Krishna, dandavats, pranaam, guru maharaja.

Recently they expanded the number of planes arriving from Argentina.

Sankirtan is getting very good here in Mexico and people are enthusiastically receiving the books in response to the pandemic.

For which we will stay almost until the end of the year before returning to Buenos Aires.

Bhadrasena das

HpS - We hope the books you distribute enter into the dark hearts of the people who get them like the rays of sunshine penetrating the dark forest, and the flowers bloom and birds sing!



Hare Krishna, dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope you are in good health and happy in everything.

HpS - It is like asking Queen Kunti or Yuddhisthira if they are happy, no? 🙂

I want to let you know about the celebration of Balarama Purnima in ISKCON San Borja on Sunday 22. By the mercy of Sri Balarama devotees offered 210 preparations to their Lordships. There were present like 40 devotees and guests. We had a great Kirtana lead by Anandamaya dasa. Kavi Caitanya dasa lead the Abhisheka, with Phanideva dasa and me.

Adi Lila Devi dasi offered the Sandhya Arati to their Lordships. In the kitchen were Govinda Rupa Narasimha Prabhu (JpS), Medini Devi dasi (JpS), Ganga Mayi Devi dasi, Rupa Manjari Devi dasi, Vamsi Dhari.

HpS - 👸

I had the fortune to dress Sri Sri Jagannatha, Baladeva, Subhadra, to help in the Abhisheka and to gave the lecture about the glories of Sri Balarama.

Thank you very much Gurudeva to let me be part in the Harinama Sankirtana movement of Srila Prabhupada, Sri Caitanya and Sri Krishna.

I send you some pictures.

Your eternal servant,

Jiva-Sakti dasa.

HpS - We are just an instrument in the hands of Srila Prabhupada, who can make generals out of mud! Vidya vadu jivanam... by serving Krsna like this one gets intelligence about how to build an empire of Sankirtan activies!!!



pamho, AGtSP!

Have returned from San Francisco's Ratha Yatra seva...some for the better, some for improvement.

Was a Saturday program, a bit smaller than the Sunday events, still ecstatic as ever. We had a good crew of younger devotee's from NJP, about 4 to assist and our semi-regular grhastra's.

The difficulty was in short notice, 2 weeks prior, Berkeley had a Mini-Ratha Yatra on Telegraph, so some people chose not to come to S.F.

Regardless, the latter enthusiasm pervaded the actual day of the carts rolling and we felt the bliss of the Maha-Mantra jubilantly filling our ears. As usual, last-minute quirks brought volunteers to fine-tune or adjust paraphernalia and equipment, though nothing like have a wheel fall off or anything. In San Francisco anything can happen at Ratha Yatra... this time it was mostly mercy to the volunteers.

Missed your association, and the other Sannyasi's, only had the Brahmacari's from San Diego who were dancing all the whole parade with Vaisesika Prabhu, and all welcomed that. The festivities continued at Robin William's Meadow (former "Sharon" meadows) and Jagannatha Swami with Titikseva Kurunika rocked out the final afternoon show. The cooler evening air concluded the event. Break down was one of the best and returned to NJP fulfilled with the knowledge that we did another event for Their Lordships.

HpS - ASA --- I have personal experience of how one person came to the Festival and then Krsna arranged her life that from that experience she became a full time devotee and collected more funds than the Rathayatra cost and distributed hundreds and even thousands of big books!

Flew back to Houston Monday and caught up on the rounds and some rest, a bit exhausting for these old bones, yet all was fulfilled and only minor damage in the use of this temporary vehicle. Let's see how next year goes...

All Glories to the Vaisnava's!

HpS - Next stop, that universe where Lord Chaitanya is actually present in Jagannatha Puri???
