Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaj,

We had a wonderful Nagarkirtan today at Singjamei, about 6kms from our Radha-Krishnachandra temple. After our SB class,as we were about to proceed for our Nagarkirtan, Mataji Nandimukhi DD, our godsister, expressed her inability to join the Nagarkirtan ,as she had to join a religious event in her neighbourhood. She was upset...I was equally upset,though I did not outrightly express my disappointment...nevertheless was quite unhappy at the thought that Krishna will be missing one of His devotees....

Then as we started the Nagarkirtan,we saw Mataji trying to catch an autorickshaw, we thought....for one last time,she would change her mind and join us. Well, she passed by,noticed us and went her way. And lo!! just in a matter of few mins, she took a U turn and joined the Nagarkirtan with us! We laughed like little mischeivous kids!! Jaya Gauranga!! Jaya Nityananda!!

Kirtan is so powerful...so purifying. We go crazy. Thank you dear Guru Maharaj.

We are in SB 3.14.38. Glorifying the Shiva by Diti.

HpS - ...but it says that she was glorifying him with hope of "bribing" him to ignore her transgressions? Is just an exciting story. It is full subtle details. She did not want relations with her husband because of gross lust. She was filled with social lust, to have HER sons. It is quite natural but, even these natural urges can create havoc unless we engage them in Krsna's service. More stories, more stories!!!

Chanting has improved by Your mercy dear Guru Maharaj.

In the last Kapidhwaja... Guru Maharaj wrote about improper honouring of prasadam. Would you please elaborate on this ? We are trying our best to strictly follow the standards laid down by Srila Prabhupada. Please help us never to compromise on Srila Prabhupada's instructions in whatever difficult situations we may be put into.

HpS - Is in many ways just the common situation of us lusty, USA, dogs. We become frustrated by different things. We feel pain on our body and then try to use Prasadam to gratify our senses rather than taking it for Krsna's service. Subtle contamination, but...NOI 1 talks a lot about this with citations from CC etc. We don't want to be an Indra in our necxt life.

Your ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - Do you have flags and literature, brochures, for distribution on your Nagara Sankirtana!!!?
