Letters to the editor

                   HARE KRSNA DEAR GURUDEVA,

                   PAOHO,AGTSP!!

                  THANK YOU FOR TRYING, IT IS SO NICE TO KNOW THAT YOU WISH TO COME

                  EVEN IF IS NOT POSSIBLE!!

                  IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO ORGANIZE A CONFERENCE IN SUCH

                  A SHORT TIME ANYWAY, AND IN SPAIN THOSE DATES UNIVERSITIES ARE CLOSED

                  AND PEOPLE ARE "CELEBRATING" CHRISTMAS, AND VERY EXHAUSTING FOR

                  YOU TO COME ONLY FOUR DAYS!!!!.

                  THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR SPIRITUAL MASTER

                  YOUR ETERNAL SERVANTS BHADRA VD AND SANANDA DD

                 HpS - Hare Krsna!   Everything in the material world is an austerity. The only question is which austerity and for what result!

Hare Krsna Dear SS Hanumat Presaka Swami, 

PAMHO. AGTSP

I hope your health is much better.

Here a brief report:

1.-Disciples of SSJPS say ,"That probability that Maharaja will  come is 15 to 20 December". Maharaja woul be here for 7 days.

HpS - AGTSP!   We have heard that he will attend Bhadra rupa Das' Award Ceremony that time also.

2.-This sunday,  I talked to Omkara d, about Education. He gave his opinions, mainly for him is very important the attitude and behavior of the educator and with respect to this he has observations for some members (NIMSAR).

In Chosica temple  autohorities need teacher like coaches, for devotees care and training (same in Wilson). 

In this moment Authorities need a staff to take care of devotees, and they think that teachers have the ability to do this function (teacher-coaches).

3.-In this moment, we  still continuos  with Bhakti Yoga Introducction in Chosica. And there are probabilities to give seminars and courses in Wilson (Devotees authorities of Wilson accept to recive our propossal, soon we send this).

4.-For mercy of Krsna in December some members will  giving class of Bhagavad gita ( Wilson Temple) : Abhinanda d and Gandharva d (4th sunday of each month),  Tarangaksi dd (2do tuesday), Isvari dd ( 1 st tuesday and 2do wednesday). In Febraury Nitya kisori will also give classes.

In support of wilson Temple, Tarangaksi dd,Indira dd , Isvari dd , we will do 2 friday a month Mangalarati  here .

5.-  Abhinanda d will be sending a economic report with more details on YOUTUBE.

HpS-ASA - The Google.docs and Youtube are not practical for us. We need 1. Where every penny came from where every penney went to for year 2016, and 2. Starting an closing balances in different accounts. Not a Spread Sheet, a simple report posted here.  O.K?

6.-Most of us know each other and know who we can work with. we need to be people  that want to be will well-wisher all devotees. SS Prahladananda Swami said me: "It is not enough to read or study to teach, there must be a great desire to cleanse the heart".

We are understanding that our mission is broad and deep, for it, this year we will try to be more introspective, improve sadhana, improve relationship, to be dasanudas and so we will improve service.

7.- My Spiritual Master is well, (he had a dieta, sight problems, high pressure, sometimes forget things) but he said: "everybody all go through  this, to you will also reach that".

He is now at El Salvador, in December he will be at Colombia and Chile, India in March.

The last thing my GM said me : "In Perú there are no leaders, all are very immature". When I speak to him about Education, he say nothing.

(I think he is testing my sincerity).

The past year, he said me: " I dislike mediocre, I want not seat philosophers." I write to him each 3 months.

Thank you very much for your effort to become conscious of Krsna.

Nrsimhadeva protect you.

with affection

ys and spiritual niece

HpS - So please send us the Financial Report as soon as possible. I hope you saw the letter from the National Council that Karuna Ji sent and our answer. We hope to talk with Karuna and Abhirama tommorrow by telephone. We hope that we can clarify many things with that conversation.

We also think it would help a lot if Mathuresa Das was Regional GBC Secretary for Peru like Jagajivana Das was doing, but we need to hear what others have to say about this.

In a few more years we will be dead.
There may be a global plague  or nuclear war.
In any case, we should do things from an immediate and long-range perspective.
Today we have Bh Sastri Workshop at 7PM on Start Meeting!

HpS - AGTSP paoho ... It took us ten minutes to pass all of this through google.translate.com. We had to do it in pieces. It was very interesting. It seems that you are moving forward, but all that I can suggest for moving faster is to write here with shorter letters more often!   Attended your letter immediately because we thought it might be urgent. We hadn't heard from you for such a long time!

Mis respetos a Srila Prabhupada por Todo Lo Que Hizo Por Nosotros. 

Buenas tardes mi muy querido y siempre recordado maestro espiritual Hanumatpresaka Swami. 

Cómo está? (((Recuerdo Que Una Vez le hice this PREGUNTA y Usted se dio Cuenta Que yo no leia el Kapi Dhvaya))) Disculpe Por Que favor no le Haya los antes escrito. Pero estuve muuuuy Ocupada Con Los Estudios en la Universidad y el Trabajo en el colegio. También recuerdo Que Una Vez Usted Me Dijo Que Si no podia escribirle, le mande Mensajes A través del Corazón, Que Paramatma se los iba Hacer v llegar. Así Que Estoy segura SEGURA Que Usted SABE Que Estoy viva y bien. 

Uuuuy tengo tantas cosas Que contarle (yo, como siempre) Y Lo recuerdo Mirando su reloj CUANDO le digo eso, jajajaja. BUENO empezare: 

* Mi Trabajo en el colegio. Este Año Acepte Trabajar de profesora de Historia del Perú y Geografía párrafo Nivel Secundaria (adolescentes de 12 Hasta los 17 años) Muchos hijo Mas Grandes Que yo y AUNQUE La directora y los Profesores pensaron Que los Alumnos no me iban Hacer Caso por mi Tamaño y Voz (jajajaja) el resultado m FUE TODO lo contrario! Trabajo con el tema de Ellos de identidad y cultura nacional, algo Que Nos Falta de Como peruanos. Esto Es Una problematica social de los peruanos Que Venimos Arrastrando from La Época colonial, Cuando Llegaron los españoles. No Se Si El Otro Año Trabaje Ahí, quiero Nuevos Retos. 

* La Universidad. Bueno me trasladé al régimen regular (to go Los días de semana Normales) en la Universidad La Cantuta. Así Que intercalo Mis Dias de Trabajo con los de clases en la Universidad o saliendo del colegio corro para viajar 3 horas Hasta la Universidad y salir a las 7de la noche. (Llego a mi casa a las 9 o 10 noche) Con una RESPECTO La Otra Universidad (la carrera de Relaciones Públicas) pues coordiné en Hacer ONU Diplomado DESPUÉS. Por Ahora llevo cursos de Especialización. 

* Mi vida espiritual. Siempre Presente this Dios en mi vida y mi corazón. Sin Asisto una Institución Ninguna Hare Krishna. Despues De Haber Vivido y Asistido Más De 12 años y trabajado con baño Iskcon Vivido y Ser amiga de los Devotos de ISEV por Más de 5 años Debo Decir Que Ya No Quiero ASISTIR, no gracias. Mi Ultima Experiencia Fue En El Templo de Wilson CUANDO llevé a mi familia una esquina empanaditas LUEGO de A que me acompañaron a comprar Las Flores Para La deidad y Una Madre mí "hablo" como Suelen Hablar algunos adj Devotos: sin amor ni Compasión, muy Al Estilo castigador pedagógico nada. Tipos de la Santa Inquisición. Y mi familia Personas Normales Como se Dieron Cuenta y los antes de arriesgar mi vida espiritual en mi casa decidi llevármelos y sin volver al templo. Ojalá Algún Día Cambien y se den Cuenta Que El Proceso de prédica Es Una teaching Que No Solo consiste del baño "personas Traer Nuevas", la ONU Análisis FODA no les caería mal creo yo.

Y bueno, en afán de no apagar mi fuego espiritual del fui a la Iglesia Católica. Recorde Que Una Vez Usted Me Dijo Que Ahí is also Dios Que puedo cantar mis rondas ahi si no podia ir al templo. Así que fui y empezo un despertar en mi ESE sentimiento de amor por Dios, de ninguna Verme Como una sirvienta de Dios ni La Más Caída Que No vale nada. El padre o cura de la capilla del hablo de mí y Me Dijo Que Soy Hija De Dios Que Me saque AES ideas. Que Dios Nunca va permitir ni le agrada Que au hija del tenga ESE sentimiento de inferioridad (Tiene Razón Pense. Que padre Quiere Que su hija del tenga Problemas de inferioridad y baja autoestima) Pero Pero Pero la soja La Más Caída Le Dije. Y Por Eso Murió Jesús por ti por mi (Tiene SENTIDO Pense. Un padre siempre da la vida Por Sus Hijos) me regalo rosario de la ONU, me hablo de San Francisco, Santa Clara, el Padre Pío y El papa Juan Pablo. Me emocioné Tanto Que decidi volver a la capilla, Hasta Ahora rezo el rosario, el Padre Pío DIJO Que es inútil prepcuparse por algo Que Dios va Solucionar. Mmmm però Me es inevitable Sentirme Como una hija adoptiva en el Cristianismo. Pero Poco a Poco me voy acostumbrando. 

* Mi familia. Todos busque. Trabajando. Mis tíos Cada Vez Más viejos sobreviviendo. Mi papa esta en ESA Etapa de la vejez Que Quiere Que Todos Se preocupen por El. Bueno sin EDUCO A Mis Hermanos con mucho amor. Así Que Siempre le digo no pidas Frutos Que No sembraste. Mi Relación con Henry (El Devoto Que le escribio para pedirle Permiso para asociarse conmigo, Recuerda?) Pues bien Seguimos juntos. Creando vínculos Familiares. Trabaja también en el Colegio Donde yo enseño. Aprendí Que Antes que Todo y de Todos Esta Mi Bienestar, Mi Salud y Mis Estudios. Henry es un buen hombre muy Determinado En Lo Que Hace. Nos ESTAMOS Ayudando a empujar el carro de la Vida. 

Siempre le Escribo una dd Candramukhi. Es mi amiga mi hermana y Aunque No Compartimos Muchas Cosas siempre nos escribimos. La Quiero nn Queremos con Nuestros Defectos y Virtudes. 

Querido maestro espiritual espero ir un Verlo CUANDO Venga a Lima la gris. Con respeto y afecto su hija

                  Hare Krsna again dear Gurudeva,

                  paoho,AGTSP!

                  It would be great if you finally come to Spain!!, we will think about where could you teach.

                  Bhadra is working on getting clear about his mission, I hope it does drag me in.

                  Yasodananda and family are in Belgium, they are staying in the

                  preaching centre in brussels, just for now, they are

                  searching for a house, Jara Mara and Marta

                  drove Ekadrsti and the children from Alicante to Brussels.

                 Jara Mara was also dealing with the devotee that runs Krsna Cuisine,

                 and got a redundancy payment for Yasodananda...

                (yeeeee!!).

                  There is plenty of work for Yasodananda, he is doing

                 catering prasadam service at the preaching centre there,

                 Sita and Prema are doing that also there, there is enough Laksmi

                 for everybody...

                Thank you for your inspiring letter.

                your servants BVD and SDD

HpS - ASA --  After talking with Radhika it seems that making a stop over in Europe at New Years Eve is going to be impossible!!  So, we will probably cancel the Tirupati tickets after hearing that the symposium is canceld there and stay a few more days in Delhi for BIG NIOS programs.  See this DTC about Solaris.

Thank you!   For news of Yasodanandana Das                

Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my obeisances, all the glories to Srila Prabhupada!
It's been so long since I wrote to you, but I'm still so happy I got to see you in Lima and Mayapur early this year, but as you requested a while ago, here goes a short report. 

As I told you before and by your suggestion I'm at university studying a Bachelor of Commerce and will be majoring in Accounting, I'm almost half way through doing it part time.

HpS - Ooof, ever since there has been money and bags of grain there has been need of accountants.

We were living in Brisbane, but have recently bought a house in Murwilumbah, it is the town where most devotees live and it's only 10 minutes drive to New Govardhan Farm and Gurukula. We decided to buy our house here because we would like Suryani to spend time with other kids her age that will attend Gurukula with her. She will start attending pre-kindy (2 days a week) next year. We have many friends here too, friends Dhruvananda grew up with, and hope our kids grow up together as well.

The community is just amazing! The new generation of Kulis are just too sweet, no dramas, no worries! Just a big group of friends that get together to do kirtan, eat prasadam and be there for each other when need to.

I just love it here!. I'm hoping that once settled into our new place, I can get some service at the temple, already been invited to do service for the deities...

By Krsna's mercy my father-in-law Atul Krsna Prabhu has given us a flat in Sri Mayapur Dham, and lovingly has furnished it for us. We hope to visit every year for 3 months and are very grateful you gave us your blessings to do so. Suryani is growing too fast, she is 3 years old already, very sweet little girl that brighten our lives and learns very quickly whatever is taught.

She mentions you often and ever time she sees your picture in our altar she remembers you and sweetly says: this is Tickle tickle Maharaja, (she remembers that you tickled her).

We are hoping to visit India in mid January and stay until early march. We are really looking forward to seeing you as it is one of the main reasons of our trip.

HpS - Hare Krsna. Yes, we are fixing our Calendar now, but won't be in Mayapura except for a few days. Maybe you will travel to Delhi or something.

I've noticed in your calendar, that you will only be in Mayapur for 3 days! Do you think we could join you for any of your other trips around India? We will try our best not to be a burden and to be helpful where we can.

HpS - Ha!!!  Great minds think the same way. Where we will be going might be of special interest to you all also. Maybe even visiting the North East. It is like visiting Narottama Das Thakura in the 16th century.

I suppose this is all for now, hoping I didn't took much of your precious time.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Trying to be helpful 
Dhanesvari Devi Dasi

HpS - Of course, your letter was written before Raktak Das departed for Gokula... Thank you for your communication in that perspective. Please write more often as practical. Dhruva's preaching activities are wonderful and we con go on expanding our co-operation eternally in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan movement, no?!!  Respects to your Father and Mother, Brothers.

All Glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to His Holiness Hanumatpresak Swami

Hare Krsna dear Maharaja, please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances.

How is your health condition today?

HpS/ASA - We follow four principles, so it is relatively good. Of course, we have a terminal condition. We will get old, get diseased and die. Eyes ache a little, respiration is shallow, little kneck and back ache, little stomach ache. Cooking breakfast (lunch and dinner) for Lord Nrsmha deva. 7.18AM

The main reason for this letter is I want to request your permission to sing the pranam mantra with your name every day, I would sometimes sing it reciting but I would like to have your consent.

HpS - In ISKCON the fomal arrangment is that first we chant Srila Prabhupada's Pranama Mantras, then when someone is a formal Refugee, after six months of following and letter of recomendation from Temple President, then they can chant a Pranam Mantra to their ISKCON diksa guru.  You have not been recommened as a Refugee yet, no?

I also want to thank for all the mercy that pours on me, to always rescue me from my own thoughts every time I want to leave the temple and desert the mission, for being my friend and for the opportunity that is giving me to be his servant.

HpS - All the 'mercy' we are giving is a fraction of what Srila Prabhupada is giving to us. We are a slow, selfish media hoping we can pass something along, if only an appreciation for Srila Prabhupada's personal presence in his books.

Maharaja I have a doubt I am confused. Can I go to Ratha Yatra of Guadalajara on November 24 and 25 or would it be preferable for me to stay in the temple to fulfill the service inside the temple?

HpS - I guess it would be O.K., no?  Many devotees from DF will go, no?

I do not feel good because I feel like I acted as a girl. How can I improve my attitude in service and not act capriciously?

HpS - Become a very chaste daughter of Srila Prabhupada!

Pd: I am happy because my parents came to a kirtan and take maha prasad continuously.

Bhaktin Diana Thank you.
 

HpS - What do your parents do?  Any other family members?   Thank you for your news and your strong service. Guess we see you in less than four weeks.
