All Glories to Sri Guruji Maharaja and Gourangaba Mahaprobhu
Radha Krsna Ki Jay and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay
Dandavat Pranam
Thank You so much for Guruji's reply and advice from time to time.
Please accept my humble obeisances unto Sri Guruji’s padamacharan that I am sending the submitting the report of the Thoubal Mandir. The weather of Manipur specially in Thoubal is dry. The farmers eagerly waiting the rain for cultivation. Now it is the time of rain but last month excess rain destroy vegetable and fish in the firms.
The five members who participated the sankirtan in the last Saturday are
i) Myself, Rajen Singh, Jatra Singh, Manithoi and Suraj Singh.
Rajen Singh has taken initiated from Tirth Swami Maharaja in the last Holy.
Jatra Singh and Suruj Singh are the members who are running the Mandir
And Manithoi is local professional narrator of Mahabharata, Gita and
Bhagavatam.
This time some more bhaktas and matajis also will participate the sankirtana.
Recently, I had read the 8th sloka of NOI. It highlights something but not clear all. Last time I asked under which direction ( the eight doors) and under whose guidance (Sakhi & Manjari - among the eight) I will enter the Vrndabana Mandir. Another one is where I will stay after returning from Vrndabana by sidhi (Gamana-Gaman).
The common believe is that “in Nabadwip no women and in Vrndabana no men” can entered. Please explain.
Yours fallen servant

HpS - All glories to Srila Prabhupad. Hare Krsna. So, so ....... ssoooo nice to have regular communication here in this Blog Sanga. Manipur, Thoubal, so important for ISKCON's development. Thank you for the Mandir Sankirtan news. Please offer our obeisances to all the Kirtaniyas.
Text Seven did you see... Prabhupada paraphasing, summarizing, the verse, "Adau sraddha...". It starts with the paragraph labeled "The conclusion is...". This is one of our MOST important verses. To adance to Vaikuntha, then Ayodhya, then Mathura, then ... Goloka, we must understand and apply this verse.
It is from Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (1.4.15–16). You can find the complete Sanskrit and another translation by Srila Prabhupad in BG 4.10 Purport. The questions about which Sakhi we follow etc occur at the level of Ruci in this development as I understand.
Waiting to hear the results of your investigation.
