Hare Krsna querido Gurudeva 

Pamho Agtsp

Disculpe tardarme tanto en escribir, en estos 8 meses hicimos maratones de Sankirtan en colombian, Panamá  y México, tambien trabajamos mucho en Bhakti Vrksa. Todo se lo debo a su infinita misericordia muchas gracias.

Ud me había pedido que lo llamara por teléfono y me daba 2da iniciasion en Gaura Purnima pero fue muy dificil, el presidente del templo de Mexico df P Maharsi d y la madre Asta Sakhi dd me dijeron q estaban desacuerdo con q tome 2da y quería preguntarle si Ud esta de acuerdo en q lo llame en alguna de estas fechas especiales para tomar 2da para mi seria un honor ser aceptado por ud.

También me pidieron preguntarle si ud esta deacuedo con que viaje a la india en Kartika o en Gaura Purnima cuando Ud considere mejor si ud considera bueno q valla, pues el año pasado cuando ud me pidió viajar a india el templo no tenia muchos recursos y no me dejaron colectar pero ahora me dieron la oportunidad de colectar mis tiketes .

Gracias por su inspiración contante, soy un perro a sus pies. Espero su respuesta.

Hare Krsna dear Gurudeva

Pamho Agtsp

Sorry for taking so long to write, in these 8 months we did Sankirtan marathons in Colombia, Panama and Mexico, we also worked a lot in Bhakti Vrksa. I owe it all to his infinite mercy, thank you very much.

HpS - Our mercy is not "infinite", but Srila Prabhupada's and Krsna's sure seems very, very deep to us!   All glories to your mercy also! We feel very humble to see your Sankirtan.

You asked me to call him on the phone and he gave me a second initiation in Gaura Purnima but it was very difficult, the president of the temple of Mexico, P Maharsi d and the mother Asta Sakhi dd, they told me that they disagreed with q that I took 2nd and wanted to ask him if You agree that I call you on any of these special dates to take 2nd for my it would be an honor to be accepted by you.

HpS - I don't remember that we discussed Second Initiation after all this time but it seems like we certainly might have discussed it then.

It is not clear. Maharsi Das and M. Asta sakhi DD did not think that it was a good idea for you to take Second Initiation last Gaura-purnima, but now they think it is good idea?

I was also asked to ask if you are willing [for us] to travel to India in Kartika or Gaura Purnima when you consider it better if you consider it good q fence, because last year when you asked me to travel to India the temple did not have many resources and not They let me collect but now they gave me the opportunity to collect my tiketes.

HpS - Hare Krsna. We can tell you that distributing books and keeping the association of devotees like Aravinda Das et al in general is very good, but we cannot give you detailed advice that it is good for you to take Second Initiation in just a few days or go to India without more detailed knowledge of your life.

We just had very nice talk on the phone with the help of Govinda-pramodini DD and we were also surprised to hear that you are associating with a lady with perspective of getting married. As I remember when we last talked you were trying to remain an enthusiastic Brahmacari.

Second Initiation means that now we are Ladies and Gentlmen for Krsna. So, these things, like marriage, going to India for pilgrimage, Second Initiation, should be part of our exemplary social relations. Of course, you can keep contact with us through the Blog and we do make the effort to be in Mexico for even personal contact, but even if there is not so much of that then we can be in touch with the leaders of your cultured community such as Temple President and others with whom we have relationships and then give good advice on these details.

So, (1) Asta Sakhi and Maharsi were not agreeable for you to take Second Initiation last Gaura purnima, but now they think you have made the proper progress to take this nice step forward?  (2) What is the name of your financee? Is she a member of our glorious ISKCON community? Tell us about her.

Waiting for for your delightful answers with great enthusiasm, like Lord Balarama!

Thank you for your constant inspiration, I am a dog at your feet. I am looking forward to your response.

Dear Hanuman Presaka Swami Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

Jay Srila Prabhupada!

I am in Bali since 3 weeks ago and dont have the chance to connect with your blog due to i am constantly traveling and i dont have my computer: i apologize not to write you in your Blog.

I would like to shear that my Ph D dissertation defense in sciences of education at Geneva university was very successful, specially when the president of five juries said " you are from now a doctor unanimously ".

By mercy of Srila Prabhuoada I got a very high mark/grade. 

I attached two pictures with the jury commission during and after the defense.

Please, could you give me your blessings to use the knowledge of this degree FULLY for SANKIRTAN?

Thank you

Your servant,

Bhadra Rupa das

Dear Doctor De La Calle,

Congratulations! I think you never had much other interest in doing this other than helping Srila Prabhupada. Please, please, please write to the Blog as often as you can. There we can get you into the Education Network.

If you look at our last Kapi-Dhvaja you will see the draft of the current ISKCON Education Journal which is just starting.

Congratulations. Take a little rest, light work, then get some perspective on where you go from here.

We will send a copy of this letter to Maha-buddhi Das, our mutual friend, and post it on the Blog.

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva 

AGTSP
PAMHO

I hope You are Ok ¡¡¡

HpS - ASA --- '@'pnp~~

Thank U all so much for this visit ¡¡ We have learned a lot about the appropiate relationship between Guru - disciple

I have a general question ¡¡ I was at the altar yesterday and one devotee was reading about Nectar of SP. Then He says that SP always was very enthusiastic to preach even if He was tired or not too healthy and this immediately remind me Your very goodself, I have the feeling that some of us are too pushy ¡¡¡ and wanted that U support our programs, we want that you be there to present something etc and we do not think very much about your energy, health, etc., I do not know how do you feel about that ¡¡ sometimes we are pretty intense . Please kindly forgive my offenses ¡¡¡ May U give us some comments about this.. The aim is that we have to serve U not the other way around.

HpS - Some people are very much Karma yoga, I want to do, my Guru, devotees, to do what is fun service for me.  Others are more thinking about engaging everyone in Krsna's service for KRSNA.   Like you suggest, we have to go from Karma Yoga to Bhakti-yoga.

I continue with Pujari in Wilson once a week, give Bg class once a week, and I am planning to go to Chosica once a month ¡¡¡ Adhoksaja prabhu has requested our help in pujari. But actually RMV is helping and saving us ¡¡¡

Trying to chant 16 enthusiastic and sincere rounds 
Making more friendship with devotees 
 

Yoga classes, cardio -....we are reducing the pasta in our diet ¡¡ 

but we keep in our heart what U said when we were having breakfast 

CUANDO HAY QUE COMER SE COME haha but I had gain weight :( but it was with prasadam so I guess is ok je 

I attend a Seminar about Gem Theraphy I had studied this before, but I did not have a certification and that is a must always. it was very expensive but now I can pay, I have recovered in many aspects including my income. My Guruji of gems is an argentinian Agustina Lozada she is well known and recognized she is like my grandma. So I continue helping people in that area, for some devotees has been kind of shocking but since a little girl I was very interested in these kind of things. 

I went with Yasoda to buy some gems for my patients and then we looked a church I asked her can we enter?? she was kind of surprise she felt supported and we find a little Lord Jesus that looks like Gopalito their worshipers even puts chocolates and toys near Him it was so cute, and makes me think that catholics one day may appreciate our deities and do not think that are idols

We treasure in our heart all the precious moments that we shared with You, specially with Jambavati's father .. we just saw the letter from her... We will invite him to our place ¡¡¡ He wanted a copy of the picture of the two of U, which is kind of interesting the photo of my father is included in the picture  ¡¡¡  he reminds me my father :( I feel unprotected sometimes so I have to be the iron cmdd haha but anyway we are very enthusiastic and enlightened  with your last visit

We had sadhusanga with rohini kumar, maria ¡¡¡ 

Ulyses is missing you already as we are ¡¡¡ Thanks for comming to our home 

The phrase of yours that most touched me was this "The definition of our yatra must be our study of the Srimad Bhagavatam" I like SB very much ¡¡¡ SO it is my desire if You give us your blessings to start a PDP course.. Actually we are starting a group with Priyasakhi dd (chile) study of the first two cantos I have the need to revise them again and again even if we are starting the Bhaktivedanta course ¡¡¡¡ I can not believe it ¡¡¡ 

I teach in the Faculty of Psychology so we are going to share your presentation about Jung.. the director asked all the teachers to focus on Psychology in our classes ¡

Well that's it my report in Ekadasi 

Please any advice, instruction, complaint about ourselves. we will appreciate it very much. Tell me in which way I can serve U. I feel i am not doing anything
 

Thank you for always being there for us
 

trying to be useful

HpS - Hare Krsna.   I think your letter represents a lot of people. You are doing quite well. Unless we shock our Godbrothers and Godsisters a little bit with our unique preaching activities (Gem Therapy) then I think we are not really giving our full selves to the preaching. We surprise them, the surprise us, Candravali surprises Radha!

My peal really helped by allergy.

More results with more people sucked into your world. When is your Mom going to take first initiation, Haw!   Haw!   Haw!

Very nice fotos.

DTC 6(Su)

7 years, 9 months ago by hps in DTC

Hare Krsna!     AGTSP     paoho & bw.
We answered a lot of letters.   We put our DTC in the one to Ambarisa, "NIOS Movie".

It is 6.04PM.  There are sudden raging thunder storms. The wall of our mobile home moves back and forth about three inches!.  Lightening crashes.  Rain

F

L
LSSSSSSSSSSS!! ! ! !          Scarey!     We are getting headache from computer.   We want to stop writing.  We want to go on writing.  We want to go to NGD house and do Kirtan for Radha-Natabara.  We want to ear ice cream until it comes out of our nose and ears.

Want, Want, Want!

What does Krsna want?

He wants that the lotus feet of His pure devotee, Srila Prabhupada are comfortable.  Some big guys can take care of higher aspects of Srila Prabhupada's body.  We are lucky if we can be good blades of grass in the carpet.

Let's look at CMDD's letter. In English.

Indra's last letter and the MOE Journal Letters.
