Rice Feeding Ceremony for Dhaasharathi in Houston in December

1 month ago by sriram in Personal Sadhana Reports

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,


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


I am following the 4 regulative principles and chanting 16 rounds.


We are doing the FMP daily with Dhaasharathi in the mornings, depending on when he wakes up. Most of the time, we do it in the room itself while feeding him. We are also doing Damodar arti daily in the evening with him along with some kirtan. We try to read SB to him daily. We are now in the 22nd chapter of 10th Canto.


We had the great fortune of serving Anantarupa Prabhu when he stayed in our home during his layover to Peru. We took blessing from his Shaligram Shilas and had his association.


I saw Your tweet today Guru Maharaj about your travel plans to Houston. Luckily, our astrologer in India has given us 18th December as the date for the Anna Prashana ceremony for Dhaasharathi and Srinath's daughter Chandranana.


I wanted to ask if it would be ok to do it in Your presence in the Houston temple? The timing for the ceremony is 9.30am to 10am. I wanted to confirm with you if it would be feasible before booking tickets to Houston, Guru Maharaj. It would be a great blessing for both children to have their first rice feeding ceremony in Your presence at Nila Madhava Dham.


If we can do the ceremony in Houston on the 18th of December, then we'll start making the arrangements.


Your humble servant

Sri Rama Krishna Das

Seems fine with us.

We should arrive on the 17th, no?


You seem to be keeping your self a pure devotee, so Krsna should be sending innocent people to hear and see your Sankirtan!

Super!
