Simple and cheerful home maker from India. I have three children. Two of them are married. I have two grandchildren. I like cooking. I do not like frivolous talk. I rather like deep and meaningful conversation. I do not postpone what I have to do. I take one day at a time and live it as if it is my last day. My Daily Sadhana are chanting, prayers and recitation of holy verses:- 1. CHANTING 16 ROUNDS HARE KRISHNA MANTRA. 2. THREE PRAYERS TO SHRIMATI RADHARANI. 3. ELEVEN OM PRAYERS FROM SHRIMAD BHAGAVATAM. 4. TWELVE NAMES OF LORD CHAITANYA. 5. TWELVE NAMES OF NITYANANDA PRABHU. 6. EIGHT PRAYERS TO GURUDEVA-THE GURVASTAKAM PRAYERS. 7. FIVE PRAYERS TO LORD JAGANNATHA. 8. TWO PRAYERS FROM SHRI VRINDAVANA MAHIMAMRTA. 9. TWO PRAYERS FROM MUKUNDA MALA STOTRA. 10. THREE PRAYERS FROM SHRI CHAITANYA CHARITAMRTA. 11. SIX PRAYERS FROM SHRI BRAHMA SAMHITA. 12. 30 VERSES FROM SHRI RADHA SAHASRA NAMA STOTRA. 13. THE EIGHT YUGALASHTAKAM PRAYERS. 14. 1OO PLUS VERSES FROM BHAGAVAD GITA. 15. 60 VERSES FROM SHRIMAD BHAGAVATAM. 16. 10 PRAYERS OF QUEEN KUNTI. 17. 5 PRAYERS FROM BHAGAVAD-GITA. 18. Krishna Katha- Morning Prayers. 19. Krishna Katha- Evening Prayers. My favourite book at this time of life is Sri Radha Sahasra Nama Stotra. As for cooking, I have accumulated 5 very good cook books over the years. 1. Vegetarian Cooking by Kurma Dasa. 2. The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking by Yamuna devi. 3. Great Vegetarian Dishes by kurma Dasa. 4. The Hare Krishna Book of Vegetarian Cooking by Adiraja Dasa. 5. Vegetarian World Food by Kurma Dasa. MESSAGE: If you wish, you can print out the prayers that I have added on Iskcon Desire Tree Network.Then cut them out nicely with their translations and attach them to a note book. You can also add pictures to them. So then you have all of them in one book, your prayer book, and read them in the Brahma muhurta hour, or any time during the day if you cannot read them early morning.
What are your expectations from this community?
I respect all devotess and their spiritual masters.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
Obeisances and Prayers.

nityanando ´vadhutendur, vasudha-prana-vallabhah
jahnavi-jivita-patih, krishna-prema-pradah prabhu
Shri Nityananda Prabhu is the embodiment of eternal bliss. He is the moon of all avadhutas, and the beloved of the life-breath of Vasudha (his wife). Lord Nityananda is the husband enthusing Jahnavi with life. Nityananda Rama bestows ecstatic love for Krishna, and He is the Lord and Master of the devotees.
Padmavati-sutah shriman, shaci-nandana-purvajah
Bhavonmatto jagat-trata, rakta-gaura-kalevarah
Shri Nityananda is the dear son of Padmavati, and He is full of splendrous transcendental majesty. Nitai is the older brother of Shacimata´s son Nimai. Nityananda Avadhuta is maddened in overwhelming ecstatic emotions. Shri Nityananda Prabhu is the saviour of the universe. His complexion is golden tinged with red.
by Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya:
Twelve principal names of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu are:
(1) caitanyah krsna-caitanyo gaurango dvija-nayakah
yatinam dandinam caiva nyasinam ca siromanih
(2) raktambara-dharah sriman navadvipa-sudhakarah
prema-bhakti-pradas caiva sri-saci-nandanas tatha.
Chaitanya -- The living force
Krsna-Chaitanya -- The all-attractive Supreme living force
Gauranga -- He of fair bodily complexion
Dvija-Nayaka -- The hero amongst the twice-born brahmanas
Yatinam Siromani -- The crest jewel of sannyasis (who wander freely)
Dandinam Siromani - The crest jewel of sannyasis (who carry staffs)
Nyasinam Siromani -- The crest jewel of sannyasis (who renounce everything).
Raktambara-Dhara -- He Who wears red cloth
Sriman -- The supreme opulent one
Navadvipa-Sudhakara -- The source of nectar in Navadvipa
Prema-Bhakti-Prada -- The bestower of ecstatic loving devotion
Sri-Sachi-Nandana -- The delightful son of mother Sachi.
"That person who recites these twelve holy names of the Lord three times a
day (at dawn, noon and dusk) will achieve the perfection of all their best
desires, and will attain pure devotion unto the divine lotus feet of Lord
Chaitanya."
