On the way to GauraNagar.....we got carried away!!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

       All glories to our dearest Guru Maharaj HpS!!

                All glories to all Vaisnavas!! 

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our humble obeisances . Koti koti dandavat pranams....we are so fallen....we seek your forgiveness. Please forgive our offences committed in ignorance...we feel responsible for the health challenges Guru Maharaj faced recently. We had been seeking mercy from Nrshimha Bhagavan for Guru Maharaj's speedy recovery.....we need Your guidance and instructions so desperately. We pray that GM's health is better now.

HpS - AGTSP paoho.   We want to write more often but once we start these tours we are in contact with pople constantly, so there is only time for URGENT letters.  Maybe we can expand into two people.
We don't remember having any bad health issues. Just normal Dwindling Donkey.

Last Sunday , we went to Gaura-Nagar, around 15 kms from the Temple, at the foothills of Baruni . Here in Manipur, people climb the Baruni and pay their obeisances to Lord Shiva about a week after Yaosang (the local name for Holi). And at the foothills of Baruni is located  a temple of Gauranga. The place is named GauraNagar. Very peaceful.....why does the Lord always choose to be close to the hills?

ASA - Because they remind Him of Govardhana?

As we started from the Temple, we were in split minds, some of us suggesting Nagar Kirtan first then darshan at GauraNagar later.  Mataji suggested Gauranga darshan first and then Nagar kirtan. So finally we agreed to Gauranga Darshan first and then Nagarkirtan. By Nityananda's mercy the Sunday Nagarkirtan group is getting bigger! Thank you Guru Maharaj. So...there .....was it because of the indecisiveness that Gauranga took us for a long ride.....we took the wrong route...realised it only after we have covered a good few kms.....never reaching ...never reaching...driving...driving!! Then we turned back and got our way ...this time , the right tract!! We had kirtan and had a wonderful time. Then on our way back , we went for Nagarkirtan ....reached the temple ...late for the Rajbhog arti by 15mins.Would you please explain to us the meaning of 'mahatattva'?

HpS - Total material energy as far as we know. It them divides into the eight separated energies described at or near to BG 7.4 >>>>>>>

We are sending You some photos. In one foto there is a group of pagan who claim themselves to be a little like the native Red Indians of America...they watch a lot of Red Indian movies!!    Ohhh...they have rich folk dances ....vibrant weavers ...with natural motifs!! But in the middle of the foto is a Mataji who is a Vaisnava devotee  and she has brought members of her tribe to the temple.....we were so happy....we invited them to visit our temple more often.....its rare to find tribals of Manipur coming to the temple.

In one of the fotos, we have a group of little kids holding prasadam, that was a week back! Every Nagarkirtan is a different experience....unique everytime....but always blissful. We thank you so much Guru Maharaj.

We are getting greared for Yaosang.....the Sankirtan is mindblowing!! 

I remain your most fallen, ignorant servant,

Sarada Gaurangi DD

HpS - This news is sure to be so enlivening to our readers. Do you have little pamphets, cartoon drawings, based on BG and SB for distribution?

We are looking to organize a Manipuri dance program in the Temple in Mexico City on the 29th of April. That is the International Day of Dance. Can you help them? Can we make international exchange program? Students and teachers from Mexico and Manipuri, sen movie links, photos, samples of textiles, recipes....

Can you all help them?
