After so long without writing to the blog, a summary of my life news .
hps/asa - jaya!!! agtsp. hare KRSNA.
The family is doing well with the daily challenges of living together and lovingly managing the relationship between our souls and our egos.
In recent years, I've had more severe problems in my body affecting my metabolism: fatty liver, inflammation, weight gain, etc.
ASA - Krsna keep you very conscious that this is not your home.
At the beginning of this year, after going to three hospitals that gave the wrong diagnosis, I underwent surgery for peritonitis, and they removed my appendix and part of my intestine, as it had suffered necrosis (dead tissue). I felt it was a warning that led me to reflect on many things. We are now recovering.
We regularly connect with your classes and follow the AnveSaka WhatsApp news group.
HpS/ASA - Thank you for letting us know.
Srinivasa Das, Micron, did, does, a lot of the work to set it up. we might have done it a little different, but we are learning that we can only perfect a very small area in life.
so much thanks to him.
pradhlada nrsmah Das. so many others!!
As for my sadhana, we follow the four principles and are in the process of improving my chanting of the 16 rounds.
I'm neither satisfied nor happy with this problem in my fluctuating chanting of the 16 rounds.
Without making excuses, I feel that several things have affected my sadhana.
I'm also experiencing moments of great loneliness, and it's not due to my actitudes of social isolation or closing myself to other people; it's something that happens, and I'm trying to understand the reasons.
HpS - We have something similar. In some respects we see that it is because we have not had lunch 🐵 😆 😆 😆
Our stomach or body is in distress and then that influences our mind.
Going for Mangala arati is great chance to work on this.
Other thing is ontological and we feel it happens because all of us only have one husband, friend, lover... KRSNA!
... and we will always feel lonely unless we are with Him.
What do you think?
I also feel that I'm not sharing projects that connect me with others on a daily basis.
HpS - We feel the same. Yet, then we have the morning sadhana. Now getting fixed in 16-rounds BEFORE mangala arati. and we can see that we are trying and accomplishing such projects to some reasonable degree.
For us, one project is our art. Sketching and publishing.
thank you Guru Dev for your example and for engage us in service, What ever we can help or do for Sankirtanesvara Please let us know.
We continue living in the tower under construction with Hari Vamsi and Vrsabhanu Nandini and also teaching photography and film classes at the school Hari Vamsi attends
Hari Vamsi, now he have nine years old, continues attending Waldorf school.
His interest in photography is awakening. He wants to send you some photos he took especially for you. I'm attaching them here.
HpS - Jaya! We feel that we do not need to sophisticate camera, no? Rather a camera that we can use easily. carry easily and then share the results easily. then there are a lot of things in our world, everyone's world, goloka world, that need... need... to be shared if we are going to create naba dvipa in this world.
Hare Krishna, Gurudeva. Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

Jayanta – €92

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva. Por favor, acepte mis respetuosas reverencias.
¡Todas las glorias a Śrīla Prabhupāda!

HpS/ASA - We, agtSP, are very embarrassed that anyone invested in our stupid life, but maybe Srila Prabhupada will put us to good use like a fountain pen in his hand!!
Obeisances to everyone.
Hope Blog problem clears up!!
Mbdp, agtSP, asked how to include photos from the phone in this Blog.
We took a picture of our non-lotus feet, tri-danda, and Krsna harassing the Gopis.
Then tapped the add photo button in this Blog Save sequence. Then we looked in DCMI or Pictures and posted it.
With some effort and maybe help from the 'young folks it should work.
Then we can go to Mayapura with Mister Bhagavan!
Hare Krishna, Respected Gurudeva. Please accept my humble obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and to You!!
Let me ask you a question regarding the recent message that appeared on the "AnveSaka" WhatsApp community.
Today, some devotees from Latin America—especially from Peru—have asked me to confirm this request. As I understand it, the person who wrote the message was not HpS, but Buck White, an alter ego, who serves as treasurer at ASA.
HpSwami - We could certainly say that Buck White is an Alter-ego for Hanumaptresaka Swami.
At least in these financial dealings he is certainly under the Super Vision of HpS.
For our part, we are all very happy to be able to reciprocate, to the best of our ability, by purchasing the hearing aids. We think it's an excellent initiative, knowing that this will help you continue developing your sankīrtana for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna Himself.
An important point: I just confirmed with my bank that Zelle doesn't allow international transfers; it's a service exclusive to the United States, as it only works with American bank accounts and phone numbers. So, to make these transfers more feasible, I've spoken with some devotees who have previously served well as treasurers, and they've agreed to collaborate. The proposal is to make a single transfer per country before July 3rd (the deadline for transfers). This would reduce the costs of individual transfers and ensure that more Lakshmi arrive in the United States. The coordinators will then send you a brief report on the blog about who donated and how much so that everything is organized and transparent. The suggestion is as follows:
• For Argentina: Nikunja Bihari Dasa
• For Chile: Havihsara Devi Dasi
• For España: Jayanta Dasa
• For Peru: Palika Devi Dasi
Perhaps the same can be done in Mexico, India...
Please, we apologize for any clumsiness or limited ability to correctly interpret the messages in AnveSaka. Any matter related to you is of utmost importance to us, so we always want to act with clarity and sincerity.
One more point: Manuel is finishing his report and will send it to the blog this week.
Hare Krishna, Gurudeva. Your insignificant servant, Abhiram Thakur dasa
HpS - The above $$$ suggestion sounds fine. We can just have Devendra-krsna Das, organize the money whether it is coming to his Zelle account or otherwise.
We wonder if it is worth it, if we, HpS et al, are contributing enough.
It is about $100/month amortized over six years.
😈
We look forward to hearing from Miguel soon. He has a much better perspective than others on some of the Sankirtan on ISKCON Avenida Pogo!!!

Hare Krishna, Respetado Gurudeva. Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias.
¡Todas las Glorias a Śrila Prabhupada y a Usted!!
Permítame hacerle una consulta en relación con el reciente comunicado que apareció en la comunidad “AnveSaka” de WhatsApp.
Hoy, algunos devotos de Latinoamérica —especialmente de Perú— me han pedido que confirme dicha solicitud. Según entiendo, quien escribió el mensaje no fue HpS sino Buck White, su álter ego, que se desempeña como tesorero en ASA.
Por nuestra parte, todos estamos muy contentos de poder reciprocar, en la medida de nuestras posibilidades, con la compra de los audífonos. Nos parece una excelente iniciativa, sabiendo que esto es útil para que usted pueda continuar desarrollando su saṅkīrtana para el placer de Śrila Prabhupada y de Krishna mismo.
Un punto importante: Acabo de confirmar con mi banco que Zelle no permite transferencias internacionales; es un servicio exclusivo para los Estados Unidos, ya que solo funciona con cuentas bancarias y números telefónicos estadounidenses. Entonces, para viabilizar los envíos, he conversado con algunos devotos que en algún momento han prestado un buen servicio como tesoreros, y han aceptado colaborar. La propuesta es que se haga una única transferencia por país antes del 3 de julio (fecha límite para los envíos). Esto permitiría reducir los costos por transferencias individuales y lograr que llegue más Lakṣmī a los Estados Unidos. Luego los coordinadores te enviaran al blog un breve informe sobre quienes donaron y cuanto para que todo sea ordenado y trasparente. La sugerencia es la siguiente:
• Para Argentina: Nikunja Bihari Dasa
• Para Chile: Havihsara Devi Dasi
• Para España: Jayanta Dasa
• Para Perú: Palika Devi Dasi
Tal vez, lo mismo se puede hacer en México, India....
Por favor, le pedimos disculpas por cualquier torpeza o limitada capacidad para interpretar correctamente los mensajes en AnveSaka. Cualquier asunto relacionado con usted es de suma importancia para nosotros por eso deseamos actuar siempre con claridad y sinceridad.
Un punto más: Manuel está terminando su informe y lo enviará esta semana al blog.

Dear Guru Maharaja, Hare Krishna!
Please accept my obeisances.
All glories to AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada!
Regarding what you wrote here https://monkeywarrior.com/detail/15627 — “I don’t know why Krsna has kept us in the ISKCON Boise community” — I would be very grateful if you could share more about how you personally understand and experience that Krsna kept you there.
Was it through the invitations you received, or did you feel a deeper inspiration or sense of purpose that Krsna was keeping you there? Was there something happening in the community that you felt Krsna was using to hold you in Boise, or perhaps a sense that He wanted you to continue serving there?
Did you ever sense a mystical or inner prompting from Krsna, or a feeling that He was personally guiding and keeping you in Boise?
I ask because, as a sannyasi, you have the freedom to travel and share Krishna consciousness wherever you feel inspired, and I’m genuinely interested in how you experience Krsna’s guidance and the feeling of being kept in this way.
If you feel it’s something I could understand, I would be very grateful if you could share it with me. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts — I deeply appreciate your perspective.
Your servant Namacarya Das
HpS - AgtSP.... paoho..... 3.44pm here. we are living by sipping a little water, breathing air and chan ting hk hr.
you?
being connected to boise temple is in perspective of balabhadra das' post about his connection with the community.
we responded that KRSNA seems to put us into different communities.
we meet someone.
they lead us to a certain temple and...
.... we stay involved.
in the beginning of our traveling sannyasa days we received many invitations to visit different temples, but it was more than we could do, so we decided that we would visit temples that invited us three times.
it seemed then that they really must feel they had a use for us.
on another hand, we decided that we would make Boise and Nashville part of our regular travels and camps since they seemed to be less visited like los angeles, san francisco, houston, new york.
from that we developed a lot personal relationships with boise and realizations of how it could be practically be used in our little sankirtan effort. E.g. we used to vist, san diego, los angeles, san francisco, portland, seattle, vancover on the west coast, but by camping in boise we realized that devotees could come and visit us.
also, because of our academic nature we developed academic relations with the academic devotees there like radhika ramana das, gopal, sri hari das and family etc.
then very nice 'village' relations.
i think many of us have relations with small communities and larger regional centers such as we also have with Nashville and Houston, or Krsna has with Braja and Mathura.
It seems that you might be trying to figure out why you are situated with ISKCON Pulah in your own case.
Some devotees seem to be destined for Larger Things and work with crowds of people. I know devotees like that.
Just because we are preaching, teaching, joining the chorus, in a village does not mean that it is small preaching.
Stanslavskii said, that in the drama, play, there are no small parts, just small actors.
In the end everyone of us is Krsna's most important friend. Every morning it hits my mind that Mangala arati needs better rhythm, melody, comprehension of the meaning of what we are singing, and my mind says, well, this is just the way it is. just tolerate the faults and get it over with, but, no, then my intelligence, training by our Guru, ISKCON Guru, Srila Prabhupada et al, says that this is where ISKCON global gets a spiritual basis for the day or not.
so, houston, [nashville [richmond va, boise id]] are our camps, and it is getting harder and harder to get out to the peripheral camps as our body becomes more and more like an old bucket with a broken handle, but these are the big and small centers where we work, and we want to hear about your work as the leader of ISKCON Pulah, Crow Ace See Ya!
