Hare Krsna!   We just arrived in Mexico. Packing and adjusting all the business in Murfreesboro, flying to Houston and 10-hours of intense programs in transit, then stress of travel, arrived here. Staying is Vidagdha Das apartment. He, Mataji and the two boys move out for us!!

Can walk to the Temple in 13-minutes. 108-devotees out on Sankirtan. A little rest then at 6PM we go for Arati and Class and Christmas Festival.

¡HARE KRISNA!

Por favor acepte mis mas humildes reverencias. TLGSP

     Tal como hablamos, le envío una foto de mis Deidades y otra de las Deidades de mi hija. Ahora en invierno les ponemos un abrigo; aquí en la sierra de Madrid hace frío. 

     Me gustaría que me explicara lo que me dijo en su última carta acerca de Jaghanatta [Jagannatha]. Yo pensaba que tenía esa forma porque cuando volvió a Vrindavan y vió a Radharani entró en éxtasis y Balaram y Subadra después de verlo, también entraron en éxtasis.

ASA - No tengo historia directa de Prabhupada, pero Krsna has visto Radharani antes de volver a Vrndavana, en Kuruksetra, no para la batalla, pero despues en otro evento.

Jayananda dijo que Prabhupada dijo es Krsna con la opulencia de Kurukstra, Dvaraka. No se mas ahoradecir mas.

     Ayer en Madrid, estuvimos haciendo  Sankirtan con los niños Gurukula. Fué una idea de Purnamasi y salió fenomenal. En una hora pudimos distribuir alrededor de 50 libros por misericordia de S. Caitanya Mahaprabhú. También distribuímos galletas de mantequilla y bolitas de coco. Los niños estaban muy contentos y nosotros también. 

ASA - Jaya! Sankirtaneritos!   Va a ser seres humanos increibles, no?

Hablé con Janardan y me dijo que ya le envió la carta. ¿La ha recibido?

ASA - Nada recien y no 'record' de algo bien pasado!? Esperamos.

     Le envío un afectuoso saludo quedando siempre a su servicio.

HpS - We just arrived in Mexico after just a few hours here in June. Very nice.

Goswami Academy Updates

   Hare Krishna Dear Maharaj,
   Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
 December is already at our doors and the 2016 is almost over. 
 The children recently went on a field-trip to the Match Theater on Main Street to watch a Musical. They had a blast. In addition, we were very    fortunate to have His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami visit the school and children last Monday. They were eager and enthusiastic to tell Maharaj what they were learning as well as answer His questions with confidence. Grades 3 and 5 students are working hard preparing for the ISKCON 50 Gita Jayanti Contest.
Finally, as an outreach and marketing tool we have registered our school as a center for the Kangaroo Math Nation- wide contest. Children in grades 1-5 from within and outside our school can take the test at our school facility in March.
Almost forgot... Trimester 1 parent conferences went well!:)
HpS - Hare Krsna. Thank you for this news!   Can people move into the Houston community? Are there houses available. How much is tuition for the kids?  Is the school accredited?

Presentation - Report n ° 1

All Glories be to your lordships Sri Sri Goura Nitay
All glories be to Srila Prabhupada
Please Maharaj, accept my most respectful obeisances

My name is María de los Ángeles, I am 27 years old, I am from Santiago de Chile and I am a cook.
I met the devotees on the Harinama sankirtan program on Saturday in April of last year, the devotees distributed me some books, and very lovingly invited me to attend the temple. Immediately the next day I went to the Sunday party and I liked it a lot; The truth I felt at home since long ago I had the feeling of searching for the spiritual and from there I did not let go, I began to sing rounds a little and to follow the regulative principles, I was participating in the programs and in May of this year the Very loving devotees integrated me to the service of garlands for your Lordships and since that time is my fixed service. I tell her I'm happy, I feel very blessed.
I must also add that I am working in the restorant of the temple from Monday to Friday and every day I can practice what I like to cook for the Lord, serve the devotees and of course distribute prasadam.

Maharaja, for you I feel great inspiration: for your preaching, your humility, and your various qualities.

When you came to Santiago de Chile in January of this year I fell down at your feet, I managed to see Prabhupada through you and I felt a lot of emotion.

I just wish I could have your blessings to get more dedication and attachment to the chanting of the holy name, to continue serving the devotees and to be a contribution to the Hare Krishna movement.

My most humble obeisances.

Bhaktina Maria de los Ángeles

HpS - Hare Krsna. It is very nice to meet you! Try reading the Teachings of Lord Caitanya.   We will be in Santiago en June-July.

Travel: Bazil (????), Lima fixed.

Hare Krsna,

We are leaving for Houston, Mexico, India within 45-minutes. Writing last minute urgent letters, packing, dangerous headache, but the Sankirtan is going ahead.

Yesterday we tried to finalize these tickets for South America. Lima was pretty easy. Not really easy, but we did it. We have a ticket to and from Lima: 21 June - 26 July. We were thinking some time in Peru and Bolivia and some time in Santiago.

Then we tried for TWO HARD hours to work out the Brazil ticket and nothing works. A direct flight is $1,500. There is one cheap ticket on Jet Blue - Azul through Florida, but that takes 24-hours and will go through four airports each direction. Then... the Visa is a lot of work and costs $160 for each entry. If we go on to Argentina and come back for our flight through Rio then that will be $320 for the Visa ...   so... at this point it seems like this Brazil, Argentina trip is not happening! .... .

We are trying our best but is lot of work to get reasonable tickets, and then the travel is very hard.

We are open to professional suggestions!

Educational Question

8 years, 7 months ago by Isvari devi dasi in Special Category B

Hare Krsna Dear Maharaja,

PAMHO, All  Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

This month i have meditated in the different steps of devotees development. How we deal with different situations

For mercy of Krsna this year has been a hard battle to keep the enthusiasm and to help others in the same.

Maya is very expert warrior, she knows how camouflage himself very well, I am very amazed of her, and  I must recognize that she to do a good service.

Thanks to her I am understand that I do not have any options more that surrender to Krsna.

I read in SBG  1.15.27, Arjuna mentions that instructions of Krsna alleviate burning heart in all circumstances, kala and space (place). Then SP mentions that Krsna left BG for people who do not have time to review others books.

Then I think about the mission of books distribution, it is achieved they have the books But now it must be ensured they understand the message and this is part of educational job and this mission is so large and deep as to distribute books, in order to provide people that help others to understand this study is necessary more educational offers, at least there should be 3 educational groups.

What do you think?

Very thankfull for your advice.

Your spiritual niece

HpS - ASA --- Thank you very much for your efforts. Unless we go on like you have be doing, it is going to get very dark and cold and Kali yuga will conquer everywhere.

We should have Bh S, Bh Vai etc. Srila Prabhupada designed these, and they should be practical training for Sankirtan, but... there are so many ways to do Sankirtan. Even a dog can take part in this movement and dance in ecstacy, no?  So we need dancing schools for dogs!

Cats!

Rats!

Bats!

We can teach Sankirtan the way we know it and can relate to it from our perspective. Develop YOUR Sankirtan then look for people who can take part of it for their benefit! !
