Hare Krsna Srila Gurudev
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
Dandavat Pranam at your lotus feet.
HpS/ASA - Lettuce Feet! AgtSP! So nice to chat with you also, today. Sorry one week and not three days to respond.
Went out to Murari farm, 1-12/ hours from here with five devotees. No cellular connection etc.
So nice to chat with you, Dr. Frog.
Since the letter where I was fixed, my sadhana again was having ups and downs. Now again back to better rounds and regulations.

Last 2 months I traveled to Badrinath, Vrindavan, Mayapur and Sri Rangam.
Just yesterday I was in Sri Rangam. I was very much remembering you all the time.
ASA - Su, SU, SUUUPER! https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/adi/9/41/
1) Today I heard a lecture by you that was spoken in Iskcon Houston, 2 years back. You said that we must develop Internal qualities rather than external of Vaishnava. What does it really mean?
HpS - Boy! I don't know the context etc. Two years ago we were different people, just like you, no?
Bahir nrsmha, hrdaya nrsmha, Prahlada sees Krsna inside and outside. We must develop both internal and external. Of course, we realize that there is a temporary aspect to the external qualities.
The Ambassador of India develops his Embassy in Washington D. C. but knows it has certain non-India qualities. Maybe a war will start with USA and he will have to close it and jump, but he will grab some stuff, people to take with him to India, Goloka.
2) You said there are deviations in Iskcon. Can you kindly point the subtle deviations that you noticed, which are harmful for your disciples under Srila Prabhupada.
HpS - I heard from Srila Prabhupada's lips when he was in Berkeley, San Francisco, in 1975 in answer to a question by a reporter if there were problems in his temples, and Sri Prabhupada responded that this was the material world, there are problems everywhere.
We, you and me, and our readers, can see, from the Krsna book, even on TV, that even when KRSNA was present in VRNDAVANA there were demons coming whose roar was so terrifying that it cause the girls to have miscarriages!
Wow!
😨
What to speak of 2023 Iskcon Chowpartti with an actual devotee for Temple president!
We will start a series of Blog posts under Category B called "ISKCON WW-9 (Iskcon Warp World Nine)" for Tom Brown's ASA Encyclopedia if... if... if... you agree to collect them that include problems to correct in ISKCON with solutions.
O.K. Health Care Provider?
3) A point was made on being in touch the Paramaatma.
HpS - The answer is in the SB and related SP books, no?
One nice answer is: https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/6/6/
How to do that. And when do we really know that now I am in touch with Paramaatma.
HpS/ASA - It can be confirmed by guru/SASTRA/sadhu.
Yet, Time is the external manifestation of the Paramatma, so a Goswami, Paramatma vadi, should have a good sense of timing.
Gopal Girivaradhari prabhu said that you will not be visiting India again in the near future. There is a lot of sadness . I wish I could have been a better strict disciple and you could physically see me following the rules. I will keep trying. I pray to Krsna that you come to Vrindavan/mayapur again during your manifest lila.
I will keep trying to be your disciple.

HpS - We have nice association here!
Krsna can arrange all kinds of nice physical meetings as He desires.
Waiting for your answers.
Time to go for a walk.
