Hare Krsna Gurudev

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.

    Thank you so much, Gurudev. You are always in Vrndavana, you have a nice little house in a tree, with a little garden in the forest and serving Krsna and the cowherd boys. You are serving with everything - nice beautiful flowers, garland, fruits, with beautiful nice cloths, peacock feather, your heart, you don't keep anything with you, you are giving everything to Krsna.

HpS - Are you sure!???   I was thinking I was still mostly a gorrilla in the material world, but it would be nice to aspire for your description of service life for Lala and Lali.

    Gurudev, i am chasing for Radha Krsna but always fail because my efforts are imperfect and now i feel,
    hopes are very less in this life, dying every moment. You are the only hope for me, you can save me,
    otherwise i don't have any hope.

ASA - Wow!  We are both in a lot of problems. AGTSP!!!!!!    Nehabikramo... every effort to improve our service only guarantees us better opportunity tomorrow, next day, next life...

    As the year is going to end, so do we need to submit the report now?

ASA - We were just thinking the same thing!   Guess one month before Vyasa-puja, January 11th, is a good day, no? Today is 13th, so we will post a notice here in the Blog and then also in the next Kapi Dhvaja!

    i will wait for your Initiation schedule in India, and then will book tickets, accordingly.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

ASA - Yes, the India dates are getting close. We have no response from Pranava Das inspite of our letters. So, it almost that we must just make our decisions, and let people adjust to our schedule as they like.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!

Hare Krishna Gurudev, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Disculpe no escribir antes, mi computador se hecho a perder.

16 rondas y 4 principios OK!!!

Estamos con algunas dificultades para continuar con nuestro servicio del festival de sankirtan en  paseo ahumada, nos estan negando el permiso. Pero se esta saliendo igual con el formato clasico de harinama o bhajans al aire libre.

Gracias a la misericordia de Srila Prabhupada en esta maraton estoy saliendo a distribuir libros algunas horas al dia, tratando de conciliar con la maternidad porsupuesto. 

Por favor ruego por sus bendiciones para poder continuar con nuestro servicio de sankirtan y para llegar a hacerlo con una buena conciencia!!

Esperando con ansias su asociacion!

Su sirvienta eterna

Bhaktin Fernanda Leiva

HpS - Jaya!!!!     Unas noticias de personas innocentes quien Krsna envia a Vd!     Adelante!    Afuera con libros en bolsa y mire Krsna haz la magia, no?

ABOUT YOUR HEALTH

           HARE KRSNA DEAR GURUDEVA

           PAOHO, AGTSP

          WE ARE SAD TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR STOMAGE ACKE AND THAT IT MAY BE

          CANCER.

           WE PRAY THAT IS ONLY A MISTAKE AND THAT THE PAIN GOES AWAY.

           YOUR ASPIRANT SERVANTS

           SANANDA DD AND BHADRA VD

HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!   paoho....  A devotee should be pessimistic about material life and optimistic about spiritual life, no?
If it is stomache cancer then we get lots of sympathy!   If it is an ulcer we get some sympathy. Nitai-gaurasundara's suggestion is that it is probably just gastrititis. [No sympathy].    Ho!  Hum!       Our donkey gets no distinction and adoration.

He suggested eating enough so that the stomach doesn't walls don't close in on each other and start digesting themselves, which is probably the cause of the pain.

We had already noticed this and we tried it strictly today and the pain is gone.

In general we see we have good insight into body maintenance, and then when we consult with devotee doctors, friends, like NGD, Rupanuga, Kunja-bijhari et al, they confirm the intuitive ideas and give a more complete picture. In some ways devotee doctors don't always know what's going on, but they accept that. Karmi doctors act like they know everything and aren't open to experiment.

Cut it out.

"Old age is a good friend for a devotee", Prabhupada Said, Volume 25, Page 423. It pushes us onto purification.

Hare Krsna, Misra,
AGTSP
We will post your letter and it pushed us to read the Wikpedia site about ISIS.
We try to be sane in our own heart and then expand that to the world we meet!
How is your Japa???  Principles???
Radha-Madhava, Ki Jai. 

========================================

Gauranga. Humbles and Glories. Please
 forgive me asking you to post this essay because I am not
 computer literate enough to find the blog.
 At a book stand here in Mayapura I
 bought a little book of quotes from Srila Prabhupada on
 Islam and Krishna Consciousness. Prabhupada said that Islam
 is Vaisnavism in as much as Mohammed taught that we should
 love God. When I came into this internet cafe the owner was
 looking at news of the Islamic State declaring war on India
 because of the Hindus killing Muslims who eat beef. This was
 horrible news to hear how the Islamic State will be doing
 their terrorist attacks here in Bengal.
 
 Mohammedan  extremists interpret
 cow protection to be a war against muslims. The Hindu groups
 that beat cow slaughterers are not wanting to be violent,
 they are just trying to save the cows who are being killed
 in mass quantities by the Mohammedans. This kali yuga is
 such a mess. We have a lot of work to do as Krishna's
 devotees to try and deescalate the tension by bringing the
 muslim villages prasadam and showing that we are all just
 trying to love God in peace with one another. I am going on
 a boat excursion tomorrow to do that.   
Today at lunch prasadam we were
 talking about Mayapura being the garden of Srimati
 Radharani. In the Ananta Samhita  Lord Shiva
 told Parvati that in kali yuga Radha and Krishna will
 combine to become Lord Gauranga, and to help the suffering
 living entities in this age They will descend and spread the
 sankirtan movement of Hare Krishna chanting, and bring
 Radharanis garden so that people will have a place from the
 spiritual world to take shelter.
Srimati Radharani had gathered her
sakhis together between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers. She
created there a beautiful place, decorated with creepers and
 trees and filled with male and female bumble bees. Deer and
 buck were happily enjoying as they wandered about, and the
 whole area was filled with the fragrance of jasmine,
 mallika, and malati flowers. 
 That
 transcendental abode was adorned with tulasi forests and
 decorated with various groves. On Radha's order, the
 Ganges and Yamuna with their pleasant water and banks, acted
 as a moat to protect the garden. Cupid himself along with
 springtime, eternally reside here, and the birds constantly
 sing the auspicious name of Krishna. Radha dressed in a
 colorful cloth, then began to play a beautiful melody on a
 flute in order to attract Krishna. 
 Attracted
 by that melody, Krishna appeared in this enchanting place.
 Radha the attractor of Krishna's mind, seeing that
 Krishna had come, held his hand and experienced ecstatic
 delight. Then Krishna understanding Radha's mood, spoke
 in a voice choked with love, "Oh lovely faced Radha,
 You are my very life. There is no one more dear to me than
 you. Therefore I will never leave You. Just for me You have
 created this wonderful place. The wise will call it
 Mayapura. By My order, all the holy places will reside here.
 Because You have created this place for My pleasure, I will
 live here eternally." 
 I hope this meets you well.

Your Servant, Mishra Bhagavan
