All Glories to Sri Guru Parampara,

Radha Krsna Ki Jay, Gouranga Mahaprabhu Ki Jay, Goura Bhakta Vrinda Ki Jay

H. H. HpS Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam!

H. H. B. S. Damodar Swami, Ki Jai!

Srila Prabhupada, Ki Jai!

Please accept my humble obeisance unto Guruji's Padmacharan that in my previous letter I had mentioned collecting flowers and making garlands. This is not simply general garland. It means, pujah (worship) of deity (Murti). I have read some books, listen to something for senior bhaktas, and learn different mantrans and gaitries but it needs a systematic process. Not only that, it is a must to get permission from the initiated Guru. Guruji reminds me "Basic Sadhana is 16-enthusiastic rounds, 4-principles strictly, up for Brahma muhurt and doing Mangala arati and Kirtan, reading Srimad Bhagavatam, then doing our regular work eg. fighting battle of Kuruksetra of Manipur University, for Krsna.

Doing all these?


Yes, I am continuing all these, and in the Mangala Aarati I don't know the process of pujah in the proper way. The prayer Jaya Om Visnu Padaya .... Sangasara Dhava is it sufficient? To whom I will approach first and which Mantra and Gaitry? It makes me trouble. Please guide me from the darkness. Again there are some differences between Manipuri Gouriya system and ISKCON.


Your fallen servant,

Yamunesvara Das


HpS - AgtSP!!! Yes, for Grhastha the diety worship is essential. Make it opulent in terms of your opulence.

Ask Banamali Das and other Mani Mandir Pujaris for instructions, no?

I think they can also give suggestions how the process can be applied in the specific circumstances in your Ashrama.

Hare Krsna.

Hare Rama.
