Hare Krsna Respected Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to Guru parampara.
Hope you are in good health & writing a nice book for us.
After a long time, am writing to you. While we check the blog, every day.
First, want to share about KG:
1. Wake-up between 3:00 - 3:15 AM
2. Chanting 17 rounds
3. Lecture and Study - BG
4. Lecture - SB
5. Puja
6. Cooking
7. Offering
8. Office
9. Study - BG
We have changed our schedule a bit. More focused on BG Study. Has set target date to complete by December 31, 2014.
Then, will start SB.
Schedule has been changed as per instruciton of Shiksa Guru (H G Gopendra Prabhu, Vrndavana). And the same has been informed to local Shiksa Guru (H G Balram Hari Prabhu, Pune).
Office work as usual.
Gurudev, Do you have any schedule for India for "Kartik" in Vrndavan?
HpS - We are so so happy to hear from you. We saw your letters and wanted to read them sooner but they were not marked 'Urgent' so we are just coming to them in order of receiving them. It is so nice to hear from you.
Are you using some Study Guide for the BG study???
We go where Krsna takes us but now looks like we will get to India like October 2015. It is a long way to travel and our Donkey is rather old.
Gurudev, Please advise on 2nd Initiation. If you permit, would like to go for 2nd initiation.
HpS - ASA -- Your Sadhana seems like a Brahmana. Your association seems the same. I think you just have to get the Bh.Sastri certificate and then of course approval by President. We would like to visit Pune. In three days is the Kapi Dhvaja. We will try to write more about our "Book Writing".
Gurudev, Question : How you chant in your mind, how you meditate on Prasadam!!
HpS - We remember that Prabhupada says that in Kali yuga best is Maha-mantra with lips and voice and three Gayatri sandyas silently.
Prasadam we meditate on many ways but one of the best, most fun is meditating on what we will offer to Lord Nrsmhadeva. We want a nutritious diet for Him. O.K. You??
Thank you, Guru Dev.
your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das
HpS - What kind of preaching are you able to do at work?
