All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All Glories to H. H. Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaj! Please accept my humble obeisances at Your sweet sweet sweet Lotus feet....
HpS - I guess we have sweet lotus feet, but they are covered by matter now!!
Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,
Seems like a long ..long....long..time ago.....
Hope this letter finds you in the best of Krishna Prema!! We long for Guru Maharaj's association each moment of our lives....without Your mercy ....my life is insignificant and wasted...
HpS - AgtSP!!!! We realize how nice Srila Prabhupada has been to us sometimes! .... What would we have without him... 😕
Continuing to read SB in the morning. SB3.25.8 Reminds me how ignorant I am . And how important and essential it is to be connected to a bona fide spiritual master.
HpS - !!
Guru Maharaj , would you please explain to us the process of entering into the kingdom of God tri-pada-bhuti-gati ....a little in detail?
HpS - Wow! Of course this is described in the SB again and again eg. Canto One, The Pandavas Retire Timely, but one very nice description starts at:
https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/madhya/19/151/ . Is O.K? LC gives excellent description of all the stages.
Father has a name given by our grandfather who was an astrologer, gave the name Shyamacharan to father. We have started the Srimad Bhagavatam now after the BG. Father finds reading SB very liberating. Yesterday, with deep apprehension he asked whether he shall be able to complete the whole SB !! We are in SB 1.3.24. Thank you Guru Maharaj for your priceless mercy. We remain indebted to you forever.
HpS - Can you read the KRSNA book with him!!!? That is the essence of the SB, all the Vedic literature!
Some senior Vaisnavis ,disciples of Sripad Damodara Maharaja formed a fb group BSDS Vaisnavi Sanga and they mercifully kept me in the sanga. Yesterday we had our first video conference hosted by HG Vridapriya Mataji at zoom. We discussed in detail the song Ohe Vaisnava thakura.....we went on and on...for 2 hours ..and yet wanting still more..! Senior Mataji announced me to read the last verse..Krishna se tomara......immediately , dear Guru Maharaj , you came to my mind....and I felt like running ...pache...pache....after you...as always. I wish we could form a group of our godsisters too....with Your guidance ,Guru Maharaj.
HpS - Tuesday, our ASA, SB class is organized by ASA ladies!
Yesterday on Ekadasi, we celebrated a festival , 'Heikru Hidongba'. Heikru ,in Manipuri language is Gooseberry/Amla. Only after offering the season's gooseberry first to Shree Shree Radha Govinda on this day can gooseberry be taken. Before this, we are not allowed to eat gooseberry. So we tasted this year's gooseberry yesterday. Traditionally, there is also a boat race in the lake adjoining the temple complex. And the winner is gifted with garland of heikru by the King. We still follow the tradition till today. We are sending some photos .
ASA - Yes! We know about this. We saw the canal!! Such feelings of separation from Manipur.
Thank you Guru Maharaj for this life. Thank you for protecting our bhakti.
All glories to Bhakti vinoda Thakur.
Dhai tava pache pache,
Your most insignificant servant,
Sarada Gaurangi DD
HpS - Hare Krsna! Hare Krsna!!!!!!! May you share your consciousness with so many people!! Thank you!!! Broadcast the news of Manipur to the whole world!
