Hare Krishna!
Guru Maharaja
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Things are going as well as can be expected here Guru Maharaja.
HpS/ASA - Goloka with the daily demons snuffed? Kuruksetra???
I am engaged in service, chanting 16 rounds and following 4 regs.
HpS - Jaya, Gurudeva!
The Krishna House project is going well. I am learning quite a bit about who I am and how to perform my services.
One thing I am learning is how attracted I am to systems and organization.
It has a tendence to lead me to not appreciating people as much as I believe I should for my service.
The saying people over projects sometimes doesn't compute for me.
However, I am making adjustments and learning to be a better person so I can show up better for people and be a better people person. This has been helping me in my service.
HpS - I was surprised how personally attached some people are to impersonal, but geometrically elegant, systems. Then some people feel so, so, happy to be part of such a system.
Followers of Advaita were Smartas.
Followers of niTyananda we Avadhutas.
Nimai got big, big, kick out of both!
I have been asked to attend GBC college. I got this invite the same day I decided that I could use some time to better myself professionally.
I think it maybe Krishna's arrangement after inquiring from a few devotees about what in entails. It seems like a good program. What do you think Guru Maharaja? Do you think this is something I should do? If you think so, if you would be so kind to give me your blessing it would be very encouraging to me.
HpS - I don't know. In some ways it was too Smarta for me, but it was really nice personally associating with the organizers etc.
The rules of Sanskrita Grammar are eternal like.... the Holy Names Themselves!!
See the letter we just wrote to Manjari!!
Try it out and then make your next step.
Guru Maharaja, you told me some 12-14 years ago that I am a coach, that this is my nature. I am working on being the best transcendental coach I can be. I genuinely ask that you please let me know if there is anything I can do that would be pleasing to you. Please
HpS/ASA - Well, anything that you can do to make Srila Prabhupada's heart glow with happiness, is all that I, or any devotee aspires for.
Yet there is one thing that maybe, maybe you might be able to do in this lifetime if it is possible.
Can you sell just one more Weed Whipper?

Thank you so much,
Your servant

HpS - Really hope to see you soon. Thank you.
So many respects to all the Towers of Light in ISKCON Dallas.
Hare Krishna, Maharaja and devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Guru and Gauranga.
This is a Blog Post for next Sunday morning ~ Srimad Bhagavatam workshop on weekly reading on Sri Caitanya Caritamrta . On coming Sunday (April 7, 2024), we will start reading CHAPTER SEVEN: The Lord Begins His Tour of South India. Thank you.
It is the mercy of Maharaja, to engage everyone in reading books of Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Guru Maharaj ji
Please accept our humble obeisances, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
We pray that our dear Guru Maharaj soon recovers his physical health fully.
ASA - There is no physical health, no? Body is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, is born, grows, diminishes and dies, no?
Only good body is a dead [forever body} no???

...his children still need their Guru to support them to stand , run, and eventually fly on their own.gh
HpS - 🙂 - How long you been initiated???? At 24-years you should become Goswami. 💪
We've had a very adventurous February.
Almost a whole month Tirtha yatra in South India,....
Kolkata to Trichurapally to Madhurai, to Srirangam to Rameshwaram to Chennai to Kurnool to Ahobilam to Tirupati.
ASA - ❗
My wife in Ahobilam climbed the Narsimha Stambha in her flipflops.
Whereas I with bandaged feet managed to climb half way to base camp.
In Karnool we joined a group of 10 devotee friends , and performed Kirtan for the 2 day grand wedding celebrations of the daughter of a senior minister of Andhra Pradesh.
I think there were about 5000 guests.
HpS - 💥 Maya does not like that!
Whilst relieved to be back in
Sridham Mayapur,
I had to dive straight back into my seva...
As the chairman of the board for the joint masterplan for Mayapur Institute,
Mayapur Academy and the
Kirtan Academy....whilst tempted to resign...almost every day 😊, I have
not yet succeeded...letters of Srila Prabhupada to his disciples, very patiently teaching the very basics of almost everything , shows me what it really means to be comitted to serving ones own Guru,
...so I think with your blessings, I will continue...for now.
ASA 🐶 Dog bless you! Remember that unless you have your own First Aid clear you can't do much for anyone else, no?
My wife also resumed her regular seva at
Srila Prabhupadas Bhajan Kutir and At
Radha Madhavas deity department, along with
daily distribution of Narsimha Devs maha Kheer Prasad.
By your mercy
I received my Bhakti Vaibhava on 9th March, and
will now attempt a 4 years, Bhakti Vedanta course.
I also hope to
complete Teachers training in May and then
Start to teach at the Mayapur Institute.
With all the celebrations over ...atleast.for now...
There is now possibility of attending Mangal Arti in a normal manner.
Summertime for many is the time to escape the heat....
but for us it offers an opportunity to try and perform our sadhana more deeply.
Dear Guru Maharaj, we pray for your good health.
Forever indebted for your causeless mercy and affection.
Your servants

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna. Hare Rama!! Hare Krsna. Hare Rama!!!!
This news is worth 1-million dollars to all of us.
"tava kathamrtam..."
TB/ASA - What's the news since you passed through Europe? Reached South India O.K.?
[3/29] Traveling Contractor - Hare Krishna, Maharaja and Prabhus! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you all.
My family and friends decided to throw a party to celebrate my 90th birthday over my objection.
I was able to get hold of a jeweler to make the ornaments for Lord Narasimha Deva for our Houston Temple. On Tuesday we were able to get the metal cantilevered frame for both the small altars and yesterday purchased the teak wood needed for the work.
The workers won't start work until Monday because of the holidays culminating on the Easter day.
With the heat index, every day temperature is around 108 degrees or more. So, getting out of the house is almost impossible
ASA/TB - 🐒👍👍👍
Meeting anyone curious about what is life?
🤔
Hare Krishna Maharaj
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
