ASA - This is beyond human imagination. Contrasts with the links that Pratijalpa Devi Dasi sent us.

We have been doing lots of work with the Calendar for next Quarter: January - March.

Got Vyasapuja in Nashville, Christmas to Madrid, and now working with Yadu Swami for one month in India.

We hope to do Govardhana Eco Village, Kolkatta, Mayapura, MANIPUR, Radha Kunda.

then .... maybe Santiago, Chile!!

We depend on others for practical details.

Yadu Swami and devotees from Spain are working on this.

Please accept my humble obeisances to your beautiful lotus feet: Pushpanjali to them!!!💐🌹🪷🌻🪷🌹🌼🌺🪷💐🌼🌹🌺🌻🪷💐🌹🌺🌼🌹🌻🪷All Glories To Srila Prabhupada!!! All Glories To You my Spiritual Master!!!

HpS/ASA - AgtSP. Paoho. We scanned your respected letter and followed one of the links to the Krsna drama but couldn't focus on it very well.

Local programs are absorbing us right now!!!

Hare Krsna.

Thank you for all your wonderful responses! You always go out of your way to respond and help us as best you can. It's perfect for me; your answers are comprehensive, wonderful, and thought-provoking. I hope to reciprocate your kind treatment forever.

Here I am sending You a photo of my small but sweet Radhastami celebration. That day I had no connection and could not join your class... I still wish to find it, as well as the one for Janmastami and the one of Sri Prabhupada's appearance celebration.

I am sending You these links. One is from the Radha Krsna series, where the mantra: Gange ca Yamune caiva.. is chanted loudly🩷... then from the same series, a part of the rasa lila, and the other is how Sri Mahadeva enters the rasa lila! and how his deity Gopesvara is there... I would so love to visit these places!!!

Balarama always takes care of Krsna. I hope it makes him laugh a lot. There's a part where they're searching for Radha and Krsna in the forest, and Balarama warns Krsna in a very funny way that they're close :

Gange ca Yamune caiva : very wonderful!

A part of the rasa lila :

Sri Mahadeva enters the rasa lila! 😃:

https://youtu.be/c5ygxpvy2fs?si=xWlPvBrM1JV99-80

In this Radha and Krishna series, as far as I can understand, Jatila and Lalita or Vishaka are playing the villains. It's funny to see this. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada, I can understand things as they are. But I like to see the details of things here, the humor, etc.

🎵🌹🌼🌺💐🎵🌹🌼🌺💐🎵

I'm also sharing some drawings of Bheem, the idea is that he's BalaRama and he's so strong! It's very funny and today I showed them to Ladhu Gopal so he could see. They don't speak, but they're very easy to understand, they're wonderful! I hope he likes them:

Please forgive me for any offense I may have unintentionally caused in this letter. Get well soon! May you be happier and happier! Jaya Gurumaharaja! Jaya Srila Prabhupada!

Always trying to please You:

Japa Prati Jalpa Radha Devi dasi

P.D

I wanted to tell you that I remembered that on Janmastami and Srila Prabhupada's appearance day I was connected to your morning and afternoon classes, but since there was no translation, I thought I hadn't heard it, even though we recorded it!!! . On the day of radhastami, unfortunately for me, I didn't have a connection that day and I couldn't listen to your wonderful class! .. I'm very sorry because that day the devotees couldn't transmit it, so I couldn't download it.

If anyone recorded the Rashastami class, I would appreciate it if you shared it with me, and I would share my recording on Janmastami and Srila Prabhupada's Appearance Day. Thank you so much🙏🌹🌺💐🎵❤️

Hare Krsna.

Body little ill, but nothing stops us dancing up The Hill.

We hear that death is most desired because then our spiritual body is fully free and reinspired.

Answered a lot if Annual Reports.

But still a shoreless ocean left.

I think they are merged with 2023 reports.

🤪 .. 🤪

.. . .🤪🤪

🤪

Last few moments in Middle Tennessee.

Packing like mad on TV.

Outside the trees are still green, the sky still blue, and the big white clouds on the wind are flew.

Will text ngd now to see if we walk.

Hare EkaDase

Dear Guru Maharaja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to you!

We had one of the biggest Radhastami festivals in Kalachandji Dham. The deities were showered with petals from about 18000 roses as is the annual tradition. About 1300-1500 people attended the festival. It was wonderful.

Srirama and I have been trying to create a framework for a website that will act as the archive for all ASA content which comprises of audio/video classes, ASA Encyclopedia, DTCs, poems, books, movies, etc., of H. H. Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja, Tom Brown, Buck White and Uncle Gizmo . As you always say, before we start anything, we have to answer these 4 questions

Who am I,

Who are we,

What is the Plan,

What Resources do we need

Who am I? - I feel the content from ASA is very valuable and needs to be preserved for posterity. This is because ASA acts as a transparent via medium that serves to illuminate the teachings of HDG A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. It has helped me understand Srila Prabhupada's teachings better. The perspectives of ASA are also unique in many ways that might not be available elsewhere.

From this perspective, I am interested in collecting and archiving the content. We can then later create libraries from the archives on topics we want to highlight. With this as the starting point, Srirama has created a basic website that can act as the ASA archive.

HpS//ASA - AgtSP! Paoho & bw!! Thank you for your letter. Little sorry that it has taken one week to respond, but I guess we are all about the same level of involvement in the Sankirtan of the present season.

Thank you!

Srirama visited us with Mataji and Dasaratha-baby. Was very very intense, ecstatic and productive. I think they also had very nice visit and met so many devotees like Sri Hari, Subhadra, NgD et al!

We had perfect time to sit and go over this project and others.

We were able to discuss some of the fundamental aspects of the idea and some of the practical details. We were of course on the phone with you some of that time.

I think our fundamental perspective is that it the ASA archive, not the HpSwami archive. the Head of ASA has been HpSwami, but we really consider that as a mostly administrative servant role. ASA definitely is open to anyone and everyone within its Sankirtan participation in Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON.

We also discussed that the webpage and periodicals would not archive everything but would in part be resource for links to other things. Eg. we have done a lot of lectures at Nila-madhva Dhama, ISKCON Houston, and they seem to have some value in illuminating Srila Prabhupada and his great followers. So, the webpage would not archive those, but give links of maybe some intelligence.

We also discussed that the webpage might serve as an ASA Archive, like an aggregate, roughly cataloged collection of stuff, and then from that specific Libraries could be generated. Eg. all the stuff on NoI even including links to Hari Pari ara Das' lectures.

Your comments above are some nice. Seem so clear.

We do not feel it is a priority ISKCON project. Distribute Srila Prabhupada's books! Of course, that requires a lot of people behind each soldier in the field.

Personally we don't feel that we need to leave much of anything behind in writing except the advice to chant the Maha-mantras under the shelter of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet from the core of your heart.

This is a big task and needs a lot of help. I am writing this letter to see if the members in the Blog would be interested in such an endeavor. Once we have a few members who have answered the Who am I and Who are we questions, we can move to answering the planning and resources questions.

I am always grateful for your association and guidance Guru Maharaja.

Your servant

Srinatha Krsna dasa

HpS - AgtSP! Again, we don't see it as a priority project anywhere as near important as what Jambavati Devi Dasi and Asta sakhi Devi Dasi and so, so, many other ASA friends, members and intelligent enemies have and are doing.

Only because Srila Prabhupada is so, so, kind do we feel that it is one small line that directly connects to Srila Prabhupada's march along the path back to Godhead.

Thank you!

Hare Krishna, my dear and always remembered Gurumaharaja 🙏🏻

Please accept my sincere obeisances 🙏🏻

All glories to our savior Srila Prabhupada 🙏🏻

HpS/ASA - AgtSP!!!

Dear Gurumaharaja, I hope you are in good health. I always see you well. Although I know you are always smiling for us, your students in the spiritual life.

Gurumaharaja, I apologize for not being able to join the GoTo program these past few weeks, but since the last time I spoke to you, my life has been like a whirlwind, and for now I'm happy about it. I have a few things to tell you; I'll try to summarize:

ASA - 🐵 🐵 🐵

By Radharani's arrangement, we got a larger space to spend the summer season. We are in a village very close to NVM. We'll probably return to NVM in the winter because the owner of the house doesn't want us to install a fireplace (God's arrangements?).

I was accepted for a temporary job (6 months) at the town hall, cleaning in the villages near Brihuega. I am very grateful to Radha Govinda Chandra for the opportunity to collect.

HpS - Super!

I left my service caring for the 92-year-old devotee. We took care of him for two years. It's time to step back and allow others to collect (I feel incredible peace not being responsible for someone else's life).

I still maintain my service at the inn (I really enjoy working with Jambula; he always reminds me of you. Jambula is organized, not a Hare Krishna fanatic; he's protective; he's one of the few best godbrothers I have). I also keep the mini-room so I can rest (I think a woman should always keep her room in her family's home, for safety. Even though I'm married, etc., I'm a single woman in a foreign country and continent).

WHAT AM I?

ASA - WHO.... are you! 😃

Gurumaharaja, I've been analyzing my life in this material world, the various jobs/services I've performed, and I'm still not clear on exactly WHAT AM I? I remember the first time I spoke to you, you asked me, "WHO ARE YOU?" and when I told you my name, you told me YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL SOUL, WE ARE SERVANT DOGS OF SRILA PRABHUPADA (and you showed me the kanti saying that it was our leash) I was very shocked. Every so often that I meditate on the subject I ask you, another day you told me YOU ARE BRAHMANA (my father and brothers are lawyers) VAYSHA (my mother and her family are business merchants) AND SUDRA (we all are) I asked the same question to several devotees and some said "I am a brahmana, I am future vanaprastha (oh no!), I am a leader, I am a grihastra, etc etc" I am not very clear at what stage or what I really am, BUT I know that now I HAVE TO COLLECT.

I've worked as a teacher (15 years), ASA - Brahmani

a waitress in a bar, ASA - Sudra (survive each day!)

my dad's secretary, managed my mom's family business, I'm a wife, I was a pujari for over 10 years, etc., and now a cleaning laborer, ... and I feel tired of EVERYTHING... Once you told me "you're an old soul, you've lived through almost everything before."

In Vrindavan they told me "you're a Westerner, contaminated, you only chant HARE KRISHNA and take prasadam." I feel that THAT ANSWER is the essence of my existence. And one day you told me, "You are my third-class disciple." That's the answer that makes me feel completely happy (whenever I remember you, I AM HAPPY).

HpS - Third class?????? I don't know what that means. You seems to be doing pretty good as an affectionate mother to whomever you meet. Nice person. Someone easy for everyone to love.

Current world is a mess!!!!! Have your noticed! Relatively speaking ISKCON is pretty good. In some respects it is good in that it does not deceive people too much into thinking that it is great.

So, your life is materially chaotic and it is going to get more so. At 77 years plus, mine gets more more chaotic daily. I have control over smaller and smaller world but.... that is GREAT! Sages and Sagginis pray for Kali yuga. No way to get attached to anything more than 27% and just pause and chant:

Hare Krsna

.. in the presence of your Bead Bag. [Keep it nearby, tied up all day] and you are a liberated soul and you are going more and MORE and M O R E back to Goloka.

1. So, keep chanting more and more.
2. Look more and more for Sankirtan Partners in whatever institutional relationship.
3. Be ready to grab the mercy when it passes.

INDIA

VRINDAVAN, EXTERNALLY, IS VERY SIMILAR TO PERU... BUT IT IS A SPIRITUAL PERU... Vrindavan is a place I would like to return to... RADHARANI❤️ I think I saw my Gopal in the form of a child in some places in Vrindavan (am I going crazy?).

HpS - Yes.

I had many beautiful experiences and experiential teachings in my short time in India. I felt like I had lived there before. I dressed as a man, and when I went out on the streets, I felt so natural... Wow! Thanks to the monkeys and motorcycle horns, I was able to realize I was in the material world... RADHE RADHE❤️ Without her, nothing happens! RADHE is the queen of everything and everyone!

SPAIN

Gurumaharaja would like to ask you to pray. Please have the mercy to visit us soon in New Vrajamandala (NVM). Gurumaharaja, without you, I feel like I don't want to be in this place anymore... I feel so alone without you... When I clean the NVM staircase, I remember your feet stepping on each step and I get so emotional!!! I remember you staying at NVM and the service I receive seems so beautiful... I beg you, please have the mercy to visit us again... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 We will organize everything better than the last time you visited us. We will welcome the godbrothers with more devotion. Please 🙏🏻 We are an HpS team at NVM Yugala, Tarangakshi and I (it's only because of you that I'm still at NVM)

Missing and remembering you every day

In vain, trying to be your third-class disciple

Yasoda Devi Dasi

May Lord Nrisimha continue to protect you 🙏🏻

HpS - We only plan to chant HK. Dream a lot of Sankirtan. Act as a sleep walker in the sensual world.

Seems that we will be Camped in Nila-madhava Dhama, Houston, ISKCON, until December, with another visit to ISKCON Nashville in November. Maybe another in January on the way to Spain. Stay for some time with my heart meds, then go with Yadu Swami to India/Radha Kunda.

Of course, Putin may start a nuclear war, but seems likely because that would stop the internet, and FOX Communications Corporation would not like that!!!

[9/2/2025 10:09 AM] HP Swami:

Sri Krsna Sankirtan.

Sanatana Gosvami says that every cowherd boy thinks that he is the most intimate friend of Krsna. This surprises him. They all think that so many, maybe every other boy is better friend to Krsna than they are, but SG says that by the nature of the internal potency it is a fact. Not just a material adjustment, a fact. So what is the most important ISKCON community in the world!?

[9/2/2025 12:55 PM] Mitravinda Devi Dasi: The most important ISKCON Community in the world is the nearest one to each of our homes. Whichever official ISKCON Temple is geographically nearest us is the most important in the World. And if That ISKCON Temple is protecting Cows, than 2x as important. If that Temple has more than enough funds coming in, then one must support the nearest ISKCON Temple which is in serious need of serious donations. Established by Srila Prabhupada Himself? Most Important!!! ISKCON Murari Sevaka Temple/Farm, established by Srila Prabhupada in 1975. The ISKCON Temple for Tennessee, Upper Alabama, Middle and Southern Kentucky. And much further as far as Cow Protection is concerned.  Mayapur TOVP must always be supported as well as our Home location.🙏🏼🌸🐄

HpS/ASA - Thank you, Mataji! We were

• President,
• Treasurer,
• Head pujari,
• Pot and Bathroom Washer,
• Cow Milker,

For Radha Gokulananda in San Francisco (Berkeley) for ten years before we took Sannyasa. Then for some time after that we were Kuticaka, and Bahudaka Sannyasis, living in a little Bhajan kutir in New Jagannatha Puri, San Francisco, then moving around the NJP community in North California from house to house, Temple to Temple.

Then we took off and traveled all over the world.

ISKCON Temples, Rural Communities, Gurukulas etc are all a part of the magnificent, transcendental institution that Srila Prabhupada is maintaining, no?

We've have ben trying to work toward integrated work in Middle Tennessee, and Murari has been foremost in that in the theme of Simple Living and High Thinking.

ISKCON country living Sankirtan is natural basis for Varna ashrama development, no?!!

From Sanatana Goswami's quote we have especially taken the very personal view, that I have complete personal responsibility for Srila Prabhupaada's ISKCON. So many times I am alone or with just a few devotees for Mangala arati, Kirtan, Class, and maybe the participants are neophyte in spiritual development or don't play the Kartals with good rhythm, and our tendency is to just hunker down and "get through it", but then this citation, reminds me, "There is no one else, no other Temple than the one I am in, at 902 Hillcrest, Murfreesboro or the big Temple in Houston et al, that is going to enliven ISKCON. It all depends on me. ISKCON will have a good day globally or not depending on what kind of Kirtan I am able to help build in the Sanga of devotees with whom I am that morning".

Achinty bheda abheda Tattva?

100% individual responsibility to Krsna and Guru and 100% surrender to social structure. They are mystically integral.
