HpS - She is amazing! Very flat plane edges, no? Was that done on a lathe?

AgtSP

BW.

We have 75-10/12 years old body. We have been expecting, planning, to leave this material, possible spiritualized, body at 76-years old. That time has come.

So, we are consolidating our Sankirtan, personal, legal, social, institutional relations, day by day. What consolidating we have done, agtSP, so far, is pretty substantial, but we should try to do more. This is Srila Prabhupada's example, no?

Our editing and publishing on our Blog of past and recent letters direct to us is part of that eg. trying to make public all of our administrative involvement in the Peru Yatra. That is what an old man should do, no?

Of course, we have made mistakes even due to increasing dementia, so we sincerely apologize. Several devotees have misunderstood our situation and we have posted some things that may have been too confidential for our Blog, but in some respect we can say that we feel it is a fault of the current Krsna consciousness movement that this knowledge of Sannyasa, and how to relate to it, is not common to even to leaders who are institutionally and socially responsible for so many others.

So, we certainly want to correct any mistakes we have inadvertently made, but anything that is sent in private letters that you feel is too confidential for arenas like our ASA Blog, should be noted as such BEFORE speaking, writing it, especially anything dealing with women [politics (money)].

🐒🐒🐒🦍 As far as we are concerned whatever we have posted has been about 70- 80% correct and should be on the Blog.

The Blog is for ASA Friends and Members. If others read here then it is at their own risk, whether they are envious hogs and dogs [https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/25/283/] 😂 or members of fanatical Kanistha Adhikari guru cults. [Which includes some so called Scientists].

After rereading this and editing it and praying at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada, it seems a little strong, but otherwise people complain that we are not clear about the confidentility of our communications.

Thank you.

Please respond here, in the 🐸 ASA Blog with any questions, comments, complaints or donations.

Hare Krishna, Dear Maharaj,

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

Maharaj, we are sincerely praying to Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra for your good health and long life. 

Hope to get your divine darshan again soon in Manipur.

HpS - As soon, agtSP, as I read this, tears come to my eyes. So, sad, but... it is like https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/1/11/, our separation is only temporary. We are eternally related.

Krsna goes to Hastinapura for some time but then He returns to Dvaraka!

Last night, in my dream, Maharaj [H. H. B. S Damodara Swami? or us?] was present in the Brahmachari Ashram of ISKCON Manipur, and Maharaj was trying to send some messages to your Blog from my computer and you were indicating me to send it. Thinking that this is an indication to write something to you, I am writing this letter to you Maharaj. Long time I have been out of touch with you. Kindly forgive me for that.

HpS - 😿

We hear that there is a terrible internet block, but fortunately we get some news from Sarad bhihari and Yamunesvara et al.

Recently, few days ago, we had an online meeting with the concerned ISKCON leaders of the Eastern India for the approval of the Guruship of H. H. Bhakti Ananda Haridasa Goswami Maharaj. No positive result from the meeting. We have to again wait for another 6-7 months.

I have been regularly attending our Eastern India’s Divisional Council meetings. What I experience from those meetings is that – most of the leaders are very aggressive, not afraid of criticizing/offending exalted pure devotees, and are not respectful of the devotees.

Whenever, I am in such kind of meetings, I am very much afraid of myself whether I am in the midst of critics/offenders of the devotees. Please guide me on this matter Maharaj.

HpS - Not just, agtSP, you, myself, other Sannyasis and even many GBC Secretaries that we know express their distress with GBC meetings.

That is one point that these are meetings in the mode of passion, administration, men, money, family relations.

Srila Prabhupada says that fighting is a necessary part of family life, so no one should be to disturbed by it.

... but the Sannyasa, Brahminical culture should govern the administrative culture. The strong, pure character of ISKCON Brahmanas, Sannyasis, who do not get too much involved with the details of men and money, should give the perspective to these "dirty and lusty" activities. 🙂

Did you pass stool and urine today?

Of course, I did.

We all do.

It is necessary, but it should be regulated in social, polite perspective by higher Chakras.

Is O.K.?

Participate from Ksatriya-Brahmana perspective as is proper for your character and Ashrama but beyond that don't be involved.

Be sure that your criticisms and requirements as Brahmana are properly expressed and then depend upon Brahminical work like this Blog and Krsna and Balarama's Vrndavana Demon killing activities to take care of the rest.

In Vrndavana (ISKCON?) only Krsna and Balarama kill demons. Of course, they may enter our bodies and minds to do it, but then it is obvious that They have taken control.

Everyone else calls: Hare Krsna! Hare Rama! Hare Krsna! Hare Rama!

We learn love of Srila Prabhupada from our Guru Maharaj. We get strength to serve Srila Prabhupada more and more from our Guru Maharaj. But our Guru Maharaj is no more physically present amongst us. Because of my stupidity, impureness ……, I am unable to feel his physical presence now and then. We are facing a lot problem in his physical absence. And always thinking – how his desires on ISKCON Manipur would be fulfilled in the midst of insurgency problems, communal riots, strong anti-hindu feelings among the Manipuri youths, etc., etc., … and in midst of very narrow minded, envious, non-cooperating management heads of our division? Please guide me in proper direction Maharaj.

HpS/ASA - We get, agtSP, nice perspective from https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/28/ starting with Verse 48. For example, Srila Prabhupada says: "...when he disappears, things once again become disordered. The perfect disciples of the ācārya try to relieve the situation by sincerely following the instructions of the spiritual master."

We try our best then Krsna and Balarama act.

Sometimes Krsna wants Duryodhana, Hiranyakaspur to have external success. So we have have to let there be external defeats.

Maybe ISKCON will just be you, me and Prabhupada 😅

😅 😅. We can try. There will always be results if we try.

Draupadi was complaining often about Yuddhisthira's not taking arms to claim his rights instead of living in the forest, no?

She complained to Krsna, no?

Yet she never lost faith that Krsna was ultimately in complete control and things would work out for the best.

Since Guru Maharaj’s disappearance, you are the only person who comes to Manipur regularly, giving your valuable time and energy for delivering the fallen souls of Manipur. Thank you very much Maharaj for your love of ISKCON Manipur and Sripada Maharaj. Offences we have committed to your goodself during your Manipur visits, kindly forgive us considering that we are fools.

We hope that Maharaj visits to Manipur again and again. Kindly forgive me if I have committed any offence at your lotus feet knowingly or unknowingly.

Your servant

ISKCON Manipur

 HpS - 😅

you are damn rascal Sadhubusan Das!

Damn Rascal! 😅 😅 😅 We love Manipur. We love Manimandir. We can only make very small contribution. Your comments make us feel like we should be visiting right now, but we know that Krsna Candra is in charge!

If he needs you, me, he will take us there, no?

Did Krsna abandon the Braja-basis and go to Mathura?

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva 🙏🏻

Please, accept my humble obeisances!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

ASA/HpS, TB - Thank you! Your reports from Bharata bhumi are wonderful!!! Again take as many notes as you can about anything, even very ordinary. As time goes by they will become more and more valuable.

Try to make many spiritual contacts.

Hare Krishna, Dear Guru maharaja!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and All glories to you.

Please accept our humble obeisances. (PAOHO)

As of every two weeks:

* Bulletin is now upload on Facebook (English & Spanish), it is also in Google Groups (English & Spanish) as listed at: http://www.jayarama.us/hello.htm

Hare Krishna!!! I read all your post on Twitter and Blog. I really hope You are doing ok.

Forgive for not writing before and answer your last request. This topic (death) is very hard for me. It took me a few days to recover from this shock.

My aunt left her body on my birthday and as soon as I heard about it, my only thought was : I didn't finish all my rounds!!! That made me realize a lot of things such as I am not serious about my Sadhana, death is near us all the time and only Krsna knows when, where and how, I am not ready to past this difficult test (death). I am too attached to this body.

Then I read about Parasurama Prabhu and his father's departure and made me remembered a lot about my father's death. Many times I have talked with some friends and tried to explain and help them to endure their situation but I still cannot overcome mine.

Do you have any advice?? It will help us a lot

HpS - It seems pretty simple, no? We are afraid of water, then we learn how to swim. We are afraid of not having a cigarette then we let the addiction leave our body (and mind) then we are not afraid. We are happy.

The report from so many people such as Buddha, Jesus, Socrates, Prabhupada, is that we are in an unnatural attraction. When people see something frightening in the cinema they rise up three inches out of shock. I saw it in the theater when I was in college. The movie was, "Wait Until Dark".

So, we go on with our education. Trying different experiments directed by our teacher, Professor Prabhupada, and we see that we don't need this body. That we can look away from the TV screen and there is a real world around us of even better things.

We not only can see ripe mangos, but we can actually offer one to Krsna and take His Prasad.

Some people can not even let the thought enter there mind. So much fear and ignorance.

You can listen and consider.

You are not conditioned to your body by sex, drugs and rock and roll.

More work.

More advancement in Yoga!!

🙂

Thank you so much.

this is the link where we can ask questions and it will answer questions based on text fed by Bhagavad Gita.

hayagriva avatar das

HpS / ASA - So, so, agtSP, sorry that we could not answer this earlier, yet even now our eyes are straining to follow the little letters that dance onto the page. 🙂

We asked, "What happens when we die?" and it answered, "When we die, our soul leaves our body and goes to the next world."

Nice answer.

Keanu Reeves was asked in an interview, "What happens when we die?"

He thought for a moment and then answered, "The people that love us will miss us".

Super nice answer, no?

Makes us think, "I have to act so that at least a few people... will love me!"

More nice tools?

Will call about "Solaris" to PDSB!

Hope to have Critics and Universal Gala Release of of DTC(UT) Spain and India within next few days.

Then we will get reaction from BRC, ASA India Bureau, and see how to proceed, no?

Thank you.

You have been in the top five of all of the longest and most steady of all NIOS Members

Thank you!!!!

It was fortunate day when we met you and Mataji in Gaziabad.
