ALL GLORIES TO SRI SRI GURU AND GAURANGA!

PAMHO AGTSP!

Hare Krishna Maharaj! How r u?

HpS/ASA - We, agtSP, are eternal, but our body is struggling with strong allergy. 😃

I’ve been a kind of busy and couldn’t do the X (Twitter) sign up in order to follow u. So I’m going to catch up with your news.

ASA - Very nice!

So I stopped smoking like a month or so, and been following again the 4 principles. I prayed to Krishna and took shelter in Srimad Bhagavatam, and my sorrows were gone. So that harsh trip left me with some new add-ons to my sadhana, now, whenever I feel kind of down, I read the Bhagavatam, or play some devotional music (that last one in particular has been my shelter lately) and always feel that my energies are renewed.

ASA - 💪💪💪🐒

So I keep doing Kirtan every morning, and chanting the 16 rounds, trying to chant boldly, like to suggested me. My life has been better overall.

I’m feeling more confident regarding my child’s custody trial, I have an audience with the judge, my child and her mother this coming week, so I would like to please ask for your mercy and blessings so I can be Krishna’s instrument in court.

Yesterday I visited ISKCON Buenos Aires and was missing your classes in that temple, do you have any plans to visit us?

I’ll try to attend some of your online classes again, the other day I watch one of them in which you were showing your drawings, which I really liked!

Well hope Maharaj you are always well!!!

thanks again for encouraging me in this path!

Please accept my obeisances!

HK!

sep 11 - dec 3.

expect to be in spain, 'nvm', at least until the start of kartika, 17 october. then, if KRSNA, or the Yamaduttas, personally drag us to radha kunda, we will have the extreme honor of the visit.

for any accommodations, service to RADHA GOVINDA-CHANDRA, contact Their servants, Yadu Swami et al!

Thank you!

I’m searching for three scriptural 📜

references, specifically the verse(s) itself, not the commentary.

• That the living entity is always a person, i.e. in any possible situation never loses the individual identity
• A constrain to this search is to be apart from BG slokas 2.12 and 18.61 and Upaniṣadic nityo nityanas cetanas cetananam, 

HpS - What about, "nitya siddha krsna prema sadhya kabu naya..". Cited in NoI.

• That jiva was in paravyoma with Krsna and left it, the spiritual world and Krsna's association there, by his/her/its own volition,

HpS - I cannot think of any specific verses, although the same verse above says that, no? I think we collected some citations on the topic of "Origin of the Jiva" and posted them in our ASA Encyclopedia: https://www.jayarama.us/archives/asa-e.docx

• And a verse that says that when saying something, that statement should be backed by sastra.

HpS - We can remember many purports where Srila Prabhupada notes this idea. What about the verses in SB 1.2?

I am aware of purports by Srila Prabhupada stating that(those) point(s). But, as I said, I am looking for a verse(s).

Not at all to minimise what Srila Prabhupada is saying, just would be nice to have a direct sastric reference. Because BG 17.15 purport "The process of speaking in spiritual circles is to say something upheld by the scriptures. One should at once quote from scriptural authority to back up what he is saying."

HpS - I was thinking of the same thing. Also, maybe in the conversation of Lord Caitanya with Sarva bhauma and Praksananda Sarasvati.

One reason why I search for these is that I can remember or find references for, according to myself, principal activities and topics for and about practicing Krsna bhakti. For example, the power of a holy name, the significance of proper association (and proper dissociation), diet, sastra, etc. 

However, for the mentioned three topics I am not sure where they can be located.

It, the solid truth of religious principles, could be found in the heart of a mahājanas/big persons/self-realized predecessors. Yet, my understanding is, these mahājanas give statements supported by sastra. And, whatever someone says should be substantiated by sastra. As shown above BG 17.15 purport "One should at once quote from scriptural authority to back up what he is saying."

I hope the inquiry is clear.

Please, if it is OK with you, and you think I can understand, share about this matter(s).

Thank you very much.

Your servant Namacarya Das

HpS - Please report and results!
