All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to HH Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj! Please accept our humble obeisances at Your glorious, sweet lotus feet!!
HpS - Still aspiring for lettuce feet. AgtSP!!
Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,
Very very sorry for this late, late reply!
Last time we wrote about a certain mataji...Surjalata mataji who is so full of energy that we get immediately charged when she is with us! She also wrote to you Guru Maharaj. Maharaj has asked her where is her physical body located. Then on....with Your sweet mercy....things happened so fast ..that its so hard for the feelings to sink in!! Let me start the details....
One fine late evening....Mataji Surjalata called....crying...."help me"...."help me"....."you said you love me....then why is it that you don't pray to Krishna enough for me ..that I can't come out of my house to get darshan of Shri RadhaKrishnachandra? My entire family is all up against my going to the temple.....I want to get initiated"....then ...more tears!!
In despair..in happiness ..You are my only refuge dear Guru Maharaj...so You came to my mind....and You helped me always....so told Mataji Surjalata....lets us offer our obeisances to HH Bhakti Vyasa Teertha Maharaj. So next day we offered our obeisances to Maharaj....and miracles came flying....Maharaj gave initiation on that very day....in the first encounter....Maharaj gave the beads and gave her the name Sushila Sakhi Devi Dasi. The Yagya will be in Gaura purnima. Thank you Guru Maharaj.....Guru Maharaj once wrote to us that we will have many nice neighbours.....we can feel the magic.....
ASA - Very interesting!! AgtSP!!!!
With our biological father....we are in BG Chapter 5. Father says he has a fascinating impression on Karma Yoga. Says its so practical that he can relate to his life experiences. Father is running 90 years....today he said....we should continue this satsanga till the day he leaves his physical body....thank you Guru Maharaj for this amazing mercy.....
We continue attending mangalarati. We are in SB 3.22.36
ASA - More father and daughter.
Last time Guru Maharaj asked...how does Manipura smell?....Smells of lotus and fresh earth just after the rains....as of now...lots of fragrant tube roses.....magnolias
HpS - Here we also have lots of Magnolia. Very tall. Whole forest for Krsna!
...honeysuckles.....pagoda trees.....mogra....
It is liberating to make garlands for Krishna's bansuri everyday...Mataji Kunti DD gives me this service...and Radharani's floral hair band....too..
HpS - Wow! Just like Braja.
Every Sunday we visit few houses with Prasadam and NOI (manipuri) .
We wait for Guru Maharaj's sweet reply eagerly
Your insignificant servant,
Sarada Gaurangi DD
HpS - Thank you for nice letter. I am sure all of our readers want to hear more and more about the Manipuri Vaisnava culture. What kind of Prasadam do you deliver? Here people are afraid of home cooked food, especially from an Oriental monk.
So, we get boxes of 100 1-ounce packages of Planter's Peanuts and offer them to our Lord. He seems like He might like them!
Their mascot is Mr. Peanut. He is maybe 100 years old in American culture. He has a graceful threefold bending posture, a third eye, and a danda!
We can leave a few package in the mail box for the mail man with a letter, a few packs to our bank...
Prasadam!!!!
