Letters to the editor

Hare Krishna Maharaj, PAMHO, AGTSP.

We have heard that you have stayed under trees, in intial days of Sannyas, where you just took off, Kutica stage (staying outside temple).

ASA - Parivracacharya. Next stage. Giving up family cottage to wander from door to door.

It would be helpful if you can elaborate of your Sannyas stages (kutica, bahudak, etc ) along with physical/environmental changes.

Like when you were living under trees, how was the FMP, how was Prasad, preaching, what did Hanumanji/Nrsingh dev ate etc.

We are asking these questions, as we think eventually Horse will also like to live under trees some day , realize paramatma (may be), then may realize Hari Naam Prabhu in beads (may be next life time)

I know its difficult to understand sincere people like you. But ISKCON somehow means you , your world view etc for us, hence trying to know your past (SB 1.5/1.4)

HpS - Aaaacha!! We have described this in lectures man times. Hmmm. Maybe we can do it a lecture: DTC-UT All Aboard!

We need to make a list.



Hare Krishna Gurudeva, please accept my respectful obeisances

TLGASP !! TLGAHpS !!

Gurudeva, last week I invited Bhakti Sundara Goswami Maharaja to present, on Friday, September 3, at the Srimad Bhagavatam Workshop, from ASA, a summary of Chapter 18 of the First Canto.

Maharaja accepted, but since he is in Arizona, 7:30 a.m. in Tennessee, for him it is 5:30 a.m.

So, he would be in the middle of the morning program, so he suggested 2 possibilities: 1) that the class, that day, be at 9 a.m. (for him it would be 7 a.m.) or 2) he can teach the class the following Friday (September 10) as he returns to Mexico on the 6, and the time of Mexico and Tennessee coincide, in that case they do not there is a schedule problem.

If we do the 2nd option we would advance the English class for this Friday the 3rd, in that case Maharaja would present chapter 19 of the 1st Canto that day,

another, 3rd, option that Maharaja has just communicated to me is that on Friday the 3rd, of the class another devotee in Spanish and that he could teach the class when he be in Spanish (every 3 classes in Spanish, later, 1 is in English) please instruct me what would be the arrangement to communicate with Maharaja, Thank you very much.

Hare Krishna Gurudeva, his insignificant servant, Abhirama Thakura das.

ASA - We can't understand option 3, but either 1 or 2 are fine. Just let us know so we can all adjust our schedules.

Let's go!

Respected Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Reading your replies shows such maturity in you, I am spellbound.

By your mercy and prayers, my sadhana is little better now. One wrong trap for me is I am wasting quite a time on social media... I know I need to reduce that.

Mostly I am staying in Darbhanga. I conduct a small program at my room on Sunday. 2-3 families are slowly taking to the process of Krishna Consciousness, while 1 new online batch has been started- your blessings are required so that it grows into a group of devotees. As informed earlier, a ISKCON center has come up here in Darbhanga being managed by some devotees. Now I am trying to look for some other place for developing preaching. Sometimes I feel a little weak due to lack of association. If things work out nicely then in 3-4 months I can expect to serve Lord in a small temple near Sitamarhi. Sitamarhi is said to be the place where Mother Sita was found from within the Earth by Maharaj Janak. There a few devotees are also expected to join us. Not getting much/ any practical support from my authorities sometimes disheartens me and causes fear- how long I would be able to flap before maya captures me?

Please keep me under your blessing and let me know if I could do any little service for you.

Your servant,

Purushottam Keshav Das

HpS - AgtSP. As soon as I saw your name on this Blog post I was thinking about you and wanted to answer. I hope our other posts and our Kapi Dhvaja communicate our spiritual and material situation.

Hare Krsna!

Even now it is 5.07PM and we have one hour to wash clothes, cut nails, shave face and head as per every two week standard and then we have Juhlana Yatra and second night of a Symposium on Nectar of Instruction given be Krsna through our mind (We hope).

Here is what I was thinking

Why not move into the Bhakti Vedanta Research Center (BRC) Ashrama in Kolkatta and work with them. Get a diploma in history etc. be representative for our NIOS there, coordinate with Dr. Samaresh.

NIOS can make donations to BRC to help with any expenses.

What do you think?

I think it is a terrible plan,

but I also think it might be good.

Anything in this world is terrible unless Krsna wants it.

You are carrying on in all difficulty, like so many other followers of Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON devotees.

We will win.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva:

AGTSP, PAMHO

As you requested me on WhatssAPP I am sending the photos of RMB in Their typical peruvian costumes)

These photos were taken in 2012. I guess that I shared them in one Japa Joe of that year. But I did not share them on this blog, so now the whole world can take darshan.

Today is our independence anniversary. Bicentennial

I hope you like this pictures. Your very goodself taught me to appreciate more my country.

In service

CMDD

Thank you so much! We hope that we can see wonderful service for RMB!!!!!!

ASA/Buck White - Please forgive our low born nature. We are beasts and we can barely handle the Information Managment System that Uncle Gismo has established through the ASA webpage.

Guess the www.JayaRama.us/archives/asa-e.docx is the best place to start. It has all the entries in one list.

It has alphabetic categories and subheadings, but those need to be reformatted so that the Headings Level One and more distinct from those of Heading Level Two etc.

The Google docs will not work for us except in a crisis and Brother Ass is too old for crisis unless we want to send him to an early cremation (before 2024).

O.K.

I can understand that working with us might be impractical for such a race horse as your good self. So, if we need to adjust or minimize of suspend the project temporarily or even permanently that is O.K. First we are friends, then these institutional things fit in place.

Again, Buck White / ASA Secretary and Culinary Critic.
