Dandavat Pranam Guruji Maharaja!
I have downloaded Gurujis amritabani reply of my previous letters. I am so happly to get Guruji’s reply and I thing I am just siting with Guruji’s and discussing about different topics.
We 13 members participated Dr. Sarada’s first aniversity of her initiation at Toubul the birth place of Dr. T.D. Singh (Sripada Maharaja). It was a nice function with bhajans, prabachan on Guruji’s qualities and bhaktas in Manipur, prasadam of above 70 members’ matajis and prabhujis. Radhacharan Das, President of Imphal ISKCON Centre. He introduced some members of Imphal Bazar Traders Communities and discussed to form a committee for registration of Cow Protection “Go Raksak Samiti” to look after the cows in Toubul Radha Madhava Mandir which were donated by local bhaktas. Shortly they will form a committee and start collection of fund for the construction of cow selter, maintenance etc.
I have started distribution of monthly journal “Bhagavat Paojel” among the public of Thoubal. The number will be increased gradually. Initially I took 30 journals only.
On next Sunday the Ganesh Pujah I will narrate the Bhagavatam 9:15:1 to some slokas. When I studied sloka 2-3 in the part of the translation “the son of Hotraka was Jahnu, who drank all the water of the Ganges in one sip”. What is the underlying story of Jahnu and Ganges? Guruji! Please highlight the story to us, so as to enable me to elaborate to the audience. And is it related to the seventh dvipa (Jahnu Dvipa) of Nabadvipa parikrama?
HpS - Jaya!!! Your local Sankirtan will always have universal effects. By doing good in one little place we are doing good to the entire universe ...

yathā taror mūla-niṣecanena
tṛpyanti tat-skandha-bhujopaśākhāḥ
prāṇopahārāc ca yathendriyāṇāṁ
tathaiva sarvārhaṇam acyutejyā
Translation: As pouring water on the root of a tree energizes the trunk, branches, twigs and everything else, and as supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs of the body, simply worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead through devotional service automatically satisfies the demigods, who are parts of that Supreme Personality.
We searched and found this reference: https://www.vedabase.com/en/rkd/appendix-1-story-of-tiver-ganges. I think it gives good answer to your question. Let us look at some other letters also. Go ahead, Go ahead.
Yours fallen servant,
Yamunesvara Das
