Dandavat Pranam, Guruji Swami Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Shree Guruji Maharaja’s padmacharan that I had read Guruji's letter with asirbad and informed to all bhaktas and matagis of our Thoubal Mandir. Now, I have completed the reading of the book "Maya : The Divine energy of the Supreme" written by Bhakti Purusattam Swami. I have collected the book “Bhakti Rashamrta Sindhu of Srila Rupa Gosvami : Comentary by Srila Jiva Gosvami and Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura translated by Bhanu Svami in English, Volume- I & II”.

HpS - It is very, very profound book. Srila Prabhupada's Nectar of Devotion is an English translation and summary study. Then Srila Prabhupada's disciple, Dhanurdara Swami, wrote a book, Waves of Devotion, that goes through chapter by chapter explaining so many details. We are reading Chapter 12 of Nectar of Devotion this week. Join us. It is available at www.vedabase.doc also.

I have daily mangal arati in my home but in the chitrabot of Radha-Krsna Jugala Murti, Jaganatha-Baladeva-Subhadra, Panchatattva, A.C.Prabhupada-Sripada-HpS Maharaja. Now I have no proper mandir so I managed on the table. My house is under construction, so after completion of the constlruction a better place of worship will be accommodated. In the evening sandhya arati also without kirtan.

HpS - So, very, very nice!   What are you cooking for Krsna each day???

Guruji Maharaja! In some of the replies of different questions in the blog Guruji mentioned that complete 16 rounds should be completed in the morning. In this reply I want to know that in the Nisanta:2 a.m. or so if I want to chant will I start after bathing or without bathing?

HpS - You can complete them any time each day, but in the morning is best. Before Mangala arati is the best. You can get up at 2am if that is practical and then wash your hands, face, mouth, feet and chant. Then take full bath later.

From the last Sunday, out initiated team started Nama Sankirtan in front of the daities of our Thoubal Mandir before starting normal Sunday Programme.

HpS - Who was chanting?

Yours fallen servant

Yamunesvara Das

HpS - We are making plans now to come to India during Kartika.  Now we write the DTC.  We also put the picture here of our first ISKCON deities. Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda in San Francisco temple.
