Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Maharaja, how are you, how is your health? We hope everything is alright by the blessings of Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra, Sri Sri Jagannatha Baladeva Subhadra, Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and Sri Sri Prahlada Narasimhadeva.

We are in a terrible situation in Manipur now because of the ongoing Coronavirus. Complete lockdown and curfew has been imposed for 10 days. And we feel this curfew is going to be extended more.

His Grace Radhacharan Das, our then Temple President, His Grace Narottama Das and His Grace Indradeva Das, our main temple pujaris left their bodies few weeks ago due to the covid – 19. We are facing a lot of problems due to the shortage of pujaries in this crucial period.

Maharaja, we would like to request your good self to kindly give brahamana diksha to three of your disciples staying here in Manipur. If they are brahmana initiated they can become full time pujaris. This will be a great blessing and help for us in this situation. Their names are as follows

1.      His Grace Pitambara Das (Manipuri, Harinama Diksha in 2008)

2.      His Grace Harivamsa Das (Tripuri, Harinama Diksha in 2019)

3.      His Grace Tarksya Suta Das (Tripuri, Harinama Diksha in 2019)

If Mahamaraja can give them second initiation online or by some other means, we will be really blessed.

Hope to see you soon in Manipur Maharaja.

Hare Krishna.

Your servants

HpS - AGTSP! Paoho. This Blog is how to communicate with us. We only get to Yahoo mail like once a week at best.

Thank you for the news.

When a Vaisnava leaves their body it is fine, no? There service continues.

We are always glad to receive news of the Yatra and participate as we can.

As far as Second initiation goes, we are not independent. We act according to our personal relationship with the devotees and the GBC standard: Brahmana and Ksatriya side.

We have almost no personal contact with the three devotees mentioned and we do not have communication with Temple President about their formal status. You are now the President?

🙂

Of course, the Deity's standard can be adjusted according to social conflicts, attacks from Arabs, or plague. Then They are happy with simple service that in emergency even 1st initiated devotees can offer.
