Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I came back from India yesterday.
ASA - Over a week ago. Sorry for the delay.
It was a really nice trip. I visited Mayapur, Ekachakra and Vraj. Also vistited ISKCON Chennai and Parthasarathy temple in Triplicane.
ASA - Jaya! Ekacakra!!!
Radhika Ramana prabhu and I observed a nice and simple Vyasa puja celebration in Mayapur. Unexpectedly many devotees came and started glorifying you. Durgam prabhu was fondly remembering being with you on Vrajamandal parikrama. It was sweet. I will resend my offering in a separate post.
ASA - AGTSP!!!
I really loved Ekachakra. The people there had such spontaneous love for Nityananda Prabhu. They were raising their arms in the air and saying 'Jai Nitai!' when we were waking on the streets. It was the same in Vraja too. The Vraja vasis were so sweet. Every place we visited, they were telling the pastimes of Krishna and it was from the heart. I especially remember the Vrajavasis from Kusum Sarovar, Unchagaon and Sankeet on how eager and lovingly they were telling us about the pastimes that happened there. I realized how hard my heart was after seeing their love and spontaneity in welcoming us and sharing with us the pastimes.
The mangala arti in Krishna Balaram temple was the best. I wanted it to go on forever. I want to carry that mood back here and develop a steady FMP. It was very inspiring. I followed your instruction and attended all the mangala arti. It set the tone for the day. I was able to chant at least 32 rounds on most of the days. I did book distribution in Chennai on Vaikunta Ekadashi and New Year day along with the devotees there.
Throughout the trip, I was constantly thinking about you and your mercy, for me to have these experiences. I struggled so hard to travel to the few places I went and got very sick in Vrindavan. I was thinking about how you take very strenuous trips, travel to so many places, and preach. Thank you so much Guru Maharaja for all that you do for us.
I saw a post from Yamunesvara Prabhu asking for links to online lectures. They can be accessed from here - https://soundcloud.com/user-938973912.
Is it possible to add this link in Kapi Dhvaja so that it is easy for everyone to know about it?
HpS - We just posted it into the KDh and will distribute it. Maybe our lectures will give an example of evil for those who want to do good.
Your servant
Srinatha Krsna dasa
HpS - Let's hope that all our journeys are part of a longer journey that will take us to a place where we can be eternally situated at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada!

Dear and esteemed Gurudev,
please accept muy humble obeisances,
all glories to Srila Prabhupada,
Another year in the ISKCON family. Yes!!
Thank you for all the austerities you make to set the example. Preaching, sadhana,travelling so much,etc.
Thank you for pushing ISKCON into another level. Your generation, made it very good, although the bad times, you kept the institution afloat. No matter all the troubles you had.
You gave us a huge legacy, expanding, translating, Srila Prabhupada's and previous Acharyas instructions to the most fallen souls like myself.
What is the main purpose of our generation? What should we do with ISKCON? Which should be the focus? Education, administration, devotee care?
What will happen when your generation is gone? All the glorious Srila Prabhupada disciples. Are we ready for the task? I have fear!! I feel myself more a burden than a helpful tool.
The only thing I can do is keep trying. And i will, until I succeed. Don't know when.
You showed me by your living example that everything in Srila Prabhupada's books is true.
I always remember what you said once. Fifty percent of the people in ISKCON are insane. But outside ISKCON eighty percent of the people are insane. So where do you want to stay?
So despite all the things we have to improve, ISKCON is a great place to be.
In SB 6.7.23 Brahma tells Indra:
O Indra, your enemies, the demons, were extremely weak because of their disrespect toward Śukrācārya, but since they have now worshiped Śukrācārya with great devotion, they have again become powerful. By their devotion to Śukrācārya, they have increased their strength so much that now they are even able to easily seize my abode from me.
By your mercy Gurudev everything is possible.
mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ
paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande
śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
(Madhya 17.80)
By the mercy of the guru, even a dumb man can become the greatest orator, and even a lame man can cross mountains.
Wherever you are, I want to be,
One of your worse disciples,
Nikunja bihari das.
HpS - Thank you. We are full of selfish motives, but Srila Prabhupada is using us. We say that you only have to be 50% sane, madhyama, to live in ISKCON, not that 50% of the devotees are insane, but it is a fact that in the hospital you expect to find people in various degrees of illness. Go ahead. Smile a lot!!!!!
Hare Krishna Maharaja, Prahalada Nrsimha Prabhu et.al,
PAMHO. AGTSP
Today vedabase.com has become popular among those who study gita, bhagavatam regularly and even in some general online forums. For instance see this link for reference to vedabase.com in many of the forum posts: https://hinduism.stackexchange.com/search?q=vedabase.com Thank you Prahlada Prabhu and Maharaja for your efforts on this site!
However there is one thing that is lacking and I noticed several times but never bothered to pass on the feedback. The presence of vedabase.com in google search results for gita and bhagavatam verses is pretty week [weak]. Most of the times non BBT affiliated sites are at the top and I rarely see vedabase.com. For instance check these links that search for 'bhagavatam' and 'bhagavad gita' key words:
I did see that Vedabase.com is accessible to google crawler but may not be built optimally. Here are a few pages from google that will help in improving vedabase.com presence on google:

HpS - Thank you. We will see if Swami Prahlada catches this. If not then we can try Yahoo. We have to fight Maya in the world of Media.
