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.

Hare Krishna Mathaji,
pamho!
AGTSP & Followers!
I thank you dearly for your very kind words especially at a time when needed the most as I got back from Mayapur Dham around 3 weeks ago & am really beginning to miss all the wonderful association of devotees that I experienced in my 5 months stay there, anyway I am not getting much association now hence why your message means a lot to me so thanks again & I pray that all the wonderful things you wished for me come true for you also..... please read on below regarding the importance of Bhakta association...
Srila Vrndavana das Thakura has written in his Caitanya bhagavata (M 21/21):
bhagavat, tulasi, gangaya, bhaktjane
caturdha vigraha krsna ei cari sane
The book bhagavat, pure devotees, Tulasi plant and the River Ganga-these four are related to the Lord as part of His manifestations or 'tadiya'-His own spiritual paraphernalia. Especially, only after the installation of the Deity with proper rites can one engage in worshipping the Deity. But these four are naturally worshipable for they do not have to be infused with consciousness as in the usual procedures of installation for they are all transcendental objects in themselves and not like the ordinary material paraphernalia. The service to these paraphernalia of Sri Krishna is one of the sixty-four limbs of devotion. The five main limbs are stated as follows:
•Residence in the land of Mathura
• Association with the devotees
• Chanting of the Holy Names
• Hearing the holy book Bhagavat
• Service to the Deity with faith
Even a little practice in any of these five limbs can invoke devotion to Sri Krishna. The service to the 'tadiya' of the Lord has an unbroken relation with these five limbs as well as the other limbs. Without the association of pure devotees and their service, no limb of devotional service can in any way be followed at all
