Dear Guru Maharaja/ Dear Hanumat Preshak Maharaja
Please accept our humble obeisances
All glories to His Divine Grace!
On this auspicious day of appearance day of Lord Nrisimha we again can reflect how many blessings we received in this wonderful movement.
It takes a village to rise a child.
It takes innumerable incarnations and devotees kindness to keep us alive with their constant remembrance via occasions such as Nrisimha caturdashi.
We hope He will keep on glancing on us all and give us qualities to move forward.
In scriptures we find that
Sudarshan appeared as Varahas tusks,
Parasuram axe and Nrisimha nails.
Lord is everywhere!
Traps of His mercy are everywhere!
While writing this we are in the train back to our new "permanent" place that somehow appeared recently and took our time/attention past two months.
Due to the modes of nature and other ingredients I had to leave China and put all the deities to sleep.
Quite uncomfortable experience.
Today coincidentally happen that we are taking last 3 sets of Nrisimha deities to their home on 2000 km train journey.
The others are in Vrindavan.
China was basically paralysed due to covid 3 years and that move couldn't happen before.
My Guru Maharaja refused me 4 times in regards to green light for puja.
Took me 13 years to get the green light.
It was a nice time, time of growing desire for arcana seva.
His reasons are more and more proving right.
We tend to desire at the moment without being aware of circumstances that life brings and interfere with our regularity about seva.
Although I received a green light, it happened that still I had to go through lessons about deity worship and its importance.
Original altar was spread in 3 places and that made my mind 3 times more distracted.
Thanks to Lord Nrisimha and Prabhupadas mercy that we survived after giving the Lord this inconvenience.
Our "permanent" place is southern most part of China, just next to the border of Laos.
Its 2000m above see level and only place where there are some sort of hippy community.
It's ancient architecture towns with big lake in the middle.
Setting up a book table here is allowed (not in any other place in china).
In fact people standing on the street corners and doing some performance is encouraged and that is what makes this place famous in China.
A free zone!
People here wear traditional clothes and all do some sort of puja.
We collect water from the source as it is practice of people.
Tree of a picture-attached is one of 600 Peepal trees in the town.
Locals worship it for good fortune.
When we come to fetch water we do arati, poor water and circumabulate the tree.
Every village around the lake have people/families with particular skills.
Some are into cloth production, some have cows, tea, fish, stone or wood designing, etc....Hills are full of Buddhist temples and one can get some idea of their mood while being in those deep mountain forest doing their sadhana.
They are having large agricultural land and producing their own food.
Very well organised.
They have restaurants all around and if food is not free, then the fee is just very little.
Tibet is close by so strictness in their practice is higher than other parts of China. Proximity to Laos and construction of high speed railway that will open soon from the town to Vientiane, capital of Laos, is raising ideas of Krsna conscious expansion.
Young people speak English there and religious freedom reigns. It's a heaven that somehow has not yet been blessed by Srila Prabhupada and his troops.
We hope Nrisimha enlightens and guides us what is to be done and when. We may venture there in the future.
Anjana Ma has received nectar "from the sky". Your Anjana, whatever cooks is nectar. I am gaining some weight because of that, but I don't complain.
Maharaja, it's nice to have your association/presence in our life. We hope we can please you and imbibe your good qualities so that we can continue the legacy of His Divine Grace.
Yours in service of Hari ,Guru and Vaishnava
Vanara-rani Anjana and Narayan pandit das
