All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Pamho !!!

Hare Krishna gurudeva, sharing a little of the experience we had these past weeks at Radha Nila-madhava Dham, has been very exciting every day full of inspiration and service.

On the first day of our arrival on December 22, Prabhu Prana-hari Das invited us to do sankirtan in a Latino community near the temple in Houston, so we were able to perform approximately an hour and a half of sankirtan, the result was very good we invited The Latino community to attend the Christmas party in the temple, but I couldn´t take pictures of this, this day we were with preparations and previous purchases for the vyasa puja.

On December 23 we were able to meet the new facilities of Goswami Academy, Jahnavi my daughter was amazed, this place has always inspired us a lot.

Day 25, day before the vyasa puja we were cooking most of the day, we made approximately 350 tamales and 18 liters of sauce for Vyasa Puja

Day 26 THE BIG DAY!!!

By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and from you I took Diksha initiation as Lalita-radha davi dasi, I am curious to know if my name refers to: servant of the Lalita sakhis group servant of Radharani?

HpS - AGTSP. It certainly can. Or Radha herself.

 After lunch at Goswami Academy we began with decoration at Gauranga Hall and last details for Vyasa Puja, we had a really good association with our god brothers and with the devotees of Houston, great devotees beautiful souls, the whole event was recorded live and Although we could no longer present the vyasa puja written offer, I hope you enjoyed the puppet show.

The next day of vyasa puja we were given the opportunity to do Raja-Bhoga for Radha Nila-madhava, of course we made Mexican food and we were also able to meet the pujaris room, we also visit the little cows and the facilities of the bhakti urban farm, that same day we traveled to Dallas to Kirtan 50 where we were 5 days.

We were also able to cook Raja-Bhoga for Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji and we had the opportunity to cook tamales on December 31 for: H.H. Giriraj Swami, H.H. B.B. Govinda Swami, H.H. Rtadhava Swami and H.H. Guru Prasad Swami who told us that especially H.H. B.B. Govinda Swami enjoyed tamales a lot because he ate about 6 tamales that day.

We had the opportunity to take darshan with H.H. Giriraj Swami, we sang some rounds with he and we were in his classes.

On January 1 there was Pushpa Abhisheka for Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji, the temple was at its maximum capacity, definitely it was an unforgettable experience. 

I would not like to make this letter longer, I don't have enough words to describe all the incredible moments of these weeks, I can only say you thank you for inspiring us every day more and more, my heart is eager to serve you, we want to get closer to the Houston Yatra where we have found a lot of inspiration from Radha Nila -madhava and his devotees, we are seeing the opportunity to go on vacation for two weeks in April, if possible we will go before for more mercy.

your eternal servant

Lalita-radha devi dasi

HpS - AGTSP paoho. We scanned this wonderful letter. We are struggling to keep all of our correspondences!!! Please write. Your description gives readers a WONDERFUL visit to the Temple!!!!

"HARE KRSNA" Redes Sociales.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, por favor reciba mis respetuosas reverencias.

Seguimos aquí en casa, con la cuarentena, no podemos salir a ningún lado, esperemos pase pronto para salir a las calles a dar los libros de Srila Prabhupada.

Por lo pronto nuestro sankirtan es compartir información, enseñanzas de Srila Prabhupada y de algunos Gurus de ISKCON a través de grupos de predica que ya existen en las redes sociales como el Facebook, algunas pocas personas me han preguntado sobre el Maha Mantra Hare Krsna, les he dado información básica y que lean los libros de Srila Prabhupada a través del Veda base que es accesible en facebook y Google.

Nadie puede detener este movimiento de Sankirtan, Ni mucho menos un Virus!!!

Estamos leyendo el Canto 3, segunda parte, capitulo 25, texto 28, "Las glorias del servicio devocional" Devahuti preguntando: ¿Qué clase de servicio devocional puedo cultivar y practicar que me ayude a alcanzar fácil y rápidamente el servicio a Tus pies de loto?

Leyendo y tratando de entender las respuestas del Señor Kapila y el significado de Srila Prabhupada. En mi lectura personal estoy leyendo el Nityananda Caritamrta Antya Lila, capítulo 2 "El Señor Nityananda rompe la Danda de Sannyasi de Mahaprabhu".

Nuestras 16 rondas, 4 principios marchan bien, Mangal artik 4:45 am (necesitamos corregir esto).

Adoración a Salagrama Silas, Govardhan Sila, Deidades, un servicio muy bonito, (el Arca Vigraha), espero en un momento aprender y dedicarme más a este bonito servicio de pujari.

He dedicado parte de mi vida en el servicio de distribución de libros de Srila Prabhupada por 13 años, de los cuales con mi esposa Nadiya Nivasi Dasi hicimos sankirtan viajero durante 7 años y estuvimos haciendo servicio en la cocina de Radha Madhan Vihari (chosica) el 2012 medio año y el 2014 todo el año. Todo servicio devocional nos ayuda a avanzar espiritualmente, ese es el proceso.

HpS - ASA !!!!!!

En este ultimo Kapi Dhvaja usted dijo:

Este Mundo es "Dukhalayam asasvatam" Un lugar donde nos vemos obligados a hacer austeridades y el futuro es impredecible.

Y es verdad, nuestra única llave de salvación es Srila Prabhupada!!!

Srila Vrndavana Dasa Thakura dice en el Nityananda Caritamrta, Antya Lila, capitulo 1

avartinau sa-karunyau paricchinau sad isvarau

Sri Krsna caitanya nityanandau dvau bhratarau bhaje

"Yo adoro a los dos hermanos, Sri Krsna Caitanya y Sri Nityananda, que descendieron a este mundo en Su calidad de Controladores Supremos. Advinieron en formas veladas, como encarnaciones de la misericordia".

Bueno, me despido Guru Maharaja, que Nrisimha lo proteja, esperemos termine todo esto para volver a las calles y al sankirtan viajero con los libros de Srila Prabhupada. Hare Krsna.

Gadai Gauranga Dasa.

HpS - ASA ---- Hare Krsna.. Hare Krsna!!!! Tenemos que descansar tambien y realizar que Krsna es el "Urukrama", el quien hace grandes tareas. Vamos a otros cartas. Su noticias son muy animador par todo nosotros demas monos en la guerra.

Answer To Guru Maharaja Letter’s

All Glories To Sri Sri Goura Nitay!!!

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!!!

All Glories To You!!!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeissances, hoy are You?, I Want to wish You a nice Vyasa Puja, answering to Your questions, my Sankirtana it’s fundamentally with my family (taking care of my son, house, I’m living with my husband and my son...), I also like going to Harinama, but I leave far from the Temple, I don’t have Many partners really, I’m recovering myself from a falldown, in certain way, but with Your association, I feel strong, the Last time that I went on Sankirtana, I went alone, and was an Amazing Experience, My vision I think that is very contaminate, but by Your mercy, and Srila Prabhupada’s, I can say that personal and living relation can help us, expanding the Movement and help The Movement to last. I will send You a picture of my son Abhay Hari, helping packing the Prasadam cookies, for Harinama.

Thank You for Your Mercy

Your servant,

Danistha devi dasi

HpS - Jaya!!!! Better late than never!!! Please use the KDPC from the Letters section of the Kapi Dhvaja!!!!!! Super Sankirtan from any position is your birthrite.

KDPC "15 Días"

5 years, 3 months ago by Gadai in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja reciba mis respetuosas reverencias.

Estamos aquí aislados en Huancayo, en casa, por este virus karuna, nadie puede salir durante 15 días, las policias y militares estan en las calles. Bueno esperemos que después de estos 15 días baje la fuerza de esté virus y volvamos al sankirtan.

HpS - Podemos leer para 15-dias y salir con una purificacion del corazon eterno!

Aún tengo un plan de Sankirtan con Prabhu Advaita Thakur (siempre algo pasa que no podemos realizarlo).

Guru Maharaja disculpeme, parece que hubo un problema con el robot (sobre la clave).

Nuestro Sadhana reajustando para que sea mejor cada día, 4 y 45 am, nuestras 16 rondas de japa y algo más, lectura del Srimad-Bhagavatam, canto 3, segunda parte. Siguiendo los 4 principos regulativos, ahora por esto del Karuna Virus estamos aprovechando el tiempo en sembrar y arreglar la chacra (sembrar algo de habas, hierbas aromáticas y flores para las Deidades). En mi lectura personal estoy leyendo el Nityananda Caritamrta.

Mi salud esta por momentos bien y por momentos mal, algunos problemas de resfrios raros y extraños. No quiero pisar un hospital. Estoy haciendo un tratamiento ayurvedico y veo que estoy mejorando de a pocos con plantas medicinales (Jenjibre, hinojo, llanten, naranjas, miel de abejas, cucurma, tara, eucalipto, etc). Hay muchas hierbas y raíces que pueden ayudarnos a mejorar la salud sin necesidad de pisar un hospital. Bueno todos vamos a morir tarde o temprano (tratamos de cuidar el cuerpo para el servicio devocional).

En un momento pense y me entusiame en ir a Italia con el tiempo, hice algunos tramites y paso todo esto del Karuna Virus. (Quizá no hay un destino para nosotros por allá). Solo Krsna sabe.

Bueno Guru Maharaja, me despido, que Nrsimha lo proteja siempre. Hare Krsna!!!

HpS - Sankirtan en Nabadvipa con Gaura y Sr. Nityananda!

Gaura, Gaura, Gaura, Gaura, Gaura-Gaura, Gaura-Gaura, Gaura-hari.

! Gracias!!!

Esperamos oir mas de su biographia transcendental en al futuro cercano.

KDPC Gauranga...Gauranga!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to HH . Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj. Please accept our humble obeisances at Your sweet Lotus feet dear Guru Maharaj.

HpS - AGTSP!!

Thank you Guru Maharaj for the subtle mercy that we keep receiving. Thank you so much. Still celebrating the appearance of Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu amidst the material duties.

HH Bhakti Ananda Haridasa Gosvami Maharaj is with us and as usual we are continuing the Holi celebrations.

We have some young aspirants....all of 19 years , a young aspiring devotee with ambition to be a doctor but parents are worried that she is too involved in Srila Prabhupada books and Krishna . The mother is really worried. Can she write in the Blog here? She asks a lot of intelligent questions.

HpS - Certainly!

There is also another boy who is attending SB classes regularly....aspiring for initiation. Very soon they will be writing to you dear Guru Maharaj ....if only you allow us to do so.

HpS - We seem to be able to handle a survival level of mail here. Please have them read the Kapi Dhvaja and then include the KDPC from the current issue in the Title field.

Continuing with our Bhakti Sastri online

Your insignificant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Wonderful. We are in ISKCON Boisie, Idaho. Very much we are all adjusting to the Global Pandemic. It is amazing what a resource SB is in this effort.

In general, our instrument is getting older. Our eyes cannot handle as much computer time as before.

Traveling is always a GREAT challenge with change of diet from cook to cook. Srila Prabhupada would travel with a cook.

It is so nice to hear from you and other such devotees how they are taking the potent content of all the stories in SB and letting them enter their actual lives and societies.

The War of the Witches

Radha and Her followeres vs. Kali and Her followers!

KDPC - "Respuesta"

5 years, 3 months ago by Gadai in Sankirtana / Temple Activity Reports

HpS - ASA - Hare Krsna. TlgaSP!!! Hey you did not put the current Kapi Dhvaja Priority Code in the Title Field. You just put KDPC. Ja! Ja! Ja! Entonces vamos a ver la primera de su carta y ver otros!

Somos los demonios de ASA, Tom Brown and Buck Whtie.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaja, reciba mis humildes reverencias.

En la carta anterior usted me hace esta pregunta:

HpS - Hare Krsna. Siempre muchas gracias por su asociation. Cuales libros esta Vd distribuyendo????

y aquí esta mi respuesta:

Bueno Guru Maharaja, estoy distribuyendo algunos libros de la BBT (El Sendero de la Iluminación, Meditación y Superconciencia).

Ahora también queria informarle que acá en Perú Prabhu Rupa Gosai esta imprimiendo dos libros de dos discipulos de Srila Prabhupada (Hridayananda Dasa Goswami y Bir Krishna Das Goswami) Prabhu Rupa Gosai tiene autorización de estos Maestros Espirituales.

Los libros se llaman (Tu no eres el cuerpo y Iluminación por el camino natural).

Yo también estoy distribuyendo estos 2 titulos, junto con los otros 2 de la BBT.

Lo hago para ayudarme pues el Prabhu Rupa Gosai los da a un precio bien cómodo, pues la economía en Perú no es buena y la BBT da muy caros los precios de los libros.

Bueno Guru Maharaja me despido, que Nrsimha lo proteja. Hare Krsna.

HpS - Carta corta y bueno. Si, tenemos que hacer lo que tenemos que hacer para distribuir los libros de Prabhupada.
