Report from Radhakunda + Vraja Calendar

PAMHO

AGTSP

My dear guruji:

This year has been full of service to Radha Kunda, specially during Kartika that we had a lot of vaisnava seva at home, serving a lot of groups of devotees that came home to see how we try to live, as Srila Prabhupada said, simple life with high thinking.

Personalities like Guru Prasad Swami, Sacinanda Maharaja and Bhurijan prabhu, among others, were at home sharing with us our deities' prasadam and doing a lot of kirtan, damodarastakam and katha. it was very nice for us.

Also, I was doing seva at the kunda, cleaning the banks of Radha Kunda every day, hoping that this vrata could help me to be more humble, but in the middle of the month I got sick and could not do it for some days, that was because instead of becoming more humble, I became very proud of doing this seva and Radharani kicked me off until I could realize that this seva is meant for satisfying her instead of satisfying my very big ego, finally she accepted me again and I could finish my vrata.

I also could chant more rounds and sing more prayers trying to satisfy Radhe Syam and doing parikramas to Govardhan and Radhakunda.

At the end of kartika, my dear Radha Carana from Vrindavan was here in RadhaKunda painting a very beautiful picture of Radharani at the banks of Radhakunda, I was helping her to chase the monkeys away so she could paint more peacefully. The prabhu who asked her to make this picture, told me that he was very impressed by her devotion and seriousness.

In relation to Radha Carana, she has been more and more engaged with the painting of deities not only personal deities but also some temples have asked her to paint their deities, I would like to humbly suggest, if you deem it convenient, to give her second initiation so that she be able to do it without anxiety, because when she is asked to paint temple deities, she is very concerned about not having brahmana initiation.

I think she has improved her sadhana, chants her rounds without problems, do Vrindavan parikrama every day, when I go to Vrndavan we do it together and comes to Radha Kunda very often.

Finally, I want to report you that last thursday we had a very beautiful vyasa puja for you here in Radha Kunda, Radha Carana, Lalita Gopi and myself were hosting this little event and did parikrama-harinama with your picture all around Radha Kunda, after we had the offerings, kirtan and a very nice prasadam.

This is my report, I hope it can satisfy you and Radha Krsna a little bit.

Your (trying to be humble) servant
