HpS - ASA -- Super, super, super...  Continuando con la misma, pero, no hay nadia con quien puede relacionar, compartir prasadam, regalos, hablar confidentialmente en su Yatra?  Tiene que incluyir esta en su vida.

Dear Gurudeva

Por Favor Acepte mis Humildes reverencias.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada !!!

Muchas gracias por responder.

Ahora nosotros intentaremos responder las preguntas que Usted nos hizo en nuestro reporte:

HpS - Who are you keeping for associates?

HpS - Sita abandoned her program with the university in Cuzco?

- Estamos los cuatro en Chosica (AKSA), con Sri Sri Lakshmi Nrishimhadev, Ananta Sesa y Krsna Balaram, en mi cuarto que ya estaba rentado para este mes, ahora estamos buscando algo más grande, por unos meses, porque hay muchas posibilidades para que en febrero podamos estar viajando a India… Esa es la razón por la cual Sita dejo sus estudios este ciclo, para aprovechar esta oportunidad de viaje, ella seguro le enviara su propio reporte…

HpS - Lo tengo!!

HpS - Que plan bueno. Claro, primero es pensar en su perspectivo especifico: Quien soy? Y despues, Quien somos? Estableciendo relaciones con otros quien tiene un poco claro quien son ellos.  Un equipo. Tercero: Cual es la Plan, basado en buen auto-comprehension, buen relaciones de caracter y vision, y Cuarto: Que necesitamos basado en esta plan. Poco más de, "Quien es Ananda-maya Das"!

- No sé realmente quién soy? No sé si realmente es mi autoestima baja o una humildad fingida, pero por ahora tengo una sensación de ser muy insignificante, especialmente cuando veo a devotos alrededor con tantas cualidades, que a veces me avergüenzo de ser tan simple. Y eso hace que dé un paso al costado cuando se presentan servicios con responsabilidades, porque pienso que otros podrían realizarlo mejor. Por ahora estamos investigando que es lo que nos gusta hacer, nuestras cualidades de trabajo, y nuestras reacciones naturales ante los diferentes estímulos, y cuanto puedo tolerar y cuanto no en trabajo o servicio con diferentes perfiles de conducta de otras personas. Por ahora estoy convencido de que las buenas relaciones con todos van venir, de mucho contacto con devotos más avanzados, con los amigos quienes me pueden tolerar, y muy poca asociación con aquellos con los que no tolero ni me toleran.

HpS - Krsna es nuestra amigo, amigo de todos, principal!   Como ocupar otros en su relacion con Krsna!? 

HpS - Un poco más de su visión de su propio misión.

- Debido a mi baja autoestima, la visión que tengo de mi misión es tan bien muy simple, por muchos años, he tenido que trabajar duro y debido a eso tenía poco tiempo para leer y cantar. Si me he mantenido cerca a los devotos, ha sido por pura misericordia de ellos y especialmente de Usted. Ahora lo que más deseo, es poder cantar mis rondas sin ansiedad, y poder leer los libros de Srila Prabhupada especialmente el Srimad Bhagavatam. Si Mayapur y Vrindavan dham son como Chosica, sería muy feliz poder sentarme cerca a los devotos y cantar con ellos en cualquier de estos sitios. Esto espero que llegue para después del 2020. Igual Krsna tiene su plan al que tendremos que ajustarnos, incluso el dejar este cuerpo. “El Hombre propone y Dios dispone”.

Si puedo seguir ese plan, podría ocuparme en cualquier otro servicio, nos gusta adorar a la Deidad, hablar y cantar. Tratando de ser lo suficientemente honesto, no sé si me guste predicar, y la administración y el liderazgo no es agradable para mi mente egoísta.

HpS - Maharaja, Jayapataka, me dijo que bueno es comunicar, coordinar con Atmarama Das y Madre Divya priya Devi Dasi. Entonces es bueno hablar, presentar sus ideas a ellos, antes de pasar ellos con ellos al Maharaja.

- En cuanto a nuestra propuesta para asumir un servicio apoyando al GBC de Perú, no es algo que realmente desee, incluso si hubiera una encuesta en Perú, pienso que la mayoría no querría hacer ese servicio. Como le mencione antes, Usted nos pidió eso en el 2006, además de eso, tuve unos sueños con JpS Maharaj, lo que dice mi carta astral, y la propuesta de algunos devotos me motivo llegar a este momento. Pero lo más importante para mí es lo que piensa Usted en el presente. De este tema he conversado con M. Divya y Atmananda Prabhu, ambos saben que estoy tentando mandar esta carta con la propuesta a JpS Maharaj… Gurudeva Usted cree que yo esté haciendo bien al hacerle esta propuesta a Maharaj?

- Por ultimo también considero que en la Junta de Chosica tenemos a buenas personas, y Karuna Prabhu, es muy serio, su presencia es importante, no solo para Chosica si no para el Yatra en general. De todos modos considero que hay temas de fondo, como la falta de un supervisor de GBC, definir mejor quien es el CO-GBC, una estructura adecuada, y supervisión en diferentes niveles. Va a ser una gran tarea establecer eso en Iskcon Perú.

                                          Por favor perdone mis faltas, su tonto discípulo AmD.

Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!

Thank you very much for answering.

Now we try to answer the questions you made us in our report:

HpS - Who are you keeping for associates?

HpS - Sita abandoned her program With the university in Cuzco?

- We four are in Chosica (AKSA), with Sri Sri Lakshmi Nrishimhadev, Ananta Sesa and Krsna Balaram in my room that was already rented for this month, we are now looking for something bigger, for a few months, because there are many possibilities in February  for us to travel to India ... that is why Sita left her studies this cycle to take this opportunity to travel, she will send You her own report for sure ...

HpS - Good plan. Of course, you first think about your specific perspective: Who am I? And then, Who are we? Establishing relationships with others who have a little clear who they are. A team. Third: Which is the Plan, based on good self-comprehension, good relations, character and vision, and Fourth: what do we need based on this plan. Just over, "Who is Ananda-maya Das"!

- I dont really know who I am? I do not know if it really is my low self-esteem or feigned humility, but now I have a feeling of being very insignificant, especially when I see devotees around with so many qualities, sometimes I am ashamed to be so simple. And that makes me take a step back when services appear with responsibilities, because I think others could do it better. For now we are investigating what we like to do, our working qualities and our natural reactions to different stimulus, and how much we can tolerate or not in work or service with different profiles of behavior of other people. For now I am convinced that good relations with everyone will come, much contact with more advanced devotees, with friends who can tolerate me, and very little association with those I dont tolerate or they dont tolerate me.

HpS - A little more of your vision of your own mission.

- Because of my low self-esteem, the vision I have of my mission is very simple as well, for many years, I have had to work hard and that why I had little time to read and sing. If I have kept close to the devotees, it has been pure mercy from them and especially from You. Now what I want most is to sing my rounds without anxiety, and to read the books of Srila Prabhupada especially the Srimad Bhagavatam. If Mayapur and Vrindavan Dham are like Chosica, I would be very happy to sit next to the devotees and sing with them at any of these sites. I hope this goes on after 2020. Even Krsna has His plan to wich we will have to adjust, even leave this body. "The man proposes and God disposes".

If I can follow that plan, I could deal with any other service, we like worshipping the Deity, talking and singing. Trying to be honest enough I dont know if I like preaching, management and leadership is not pleasant for my selfish mind.

HpS - Maharaja, Jayapataka, told me that good is to communicate, coordinate with Atmarama Das and Divya priya Devi Dasi. So it's good to talk, present your ideas to them before passing them to Maharaja.

- Regarding our proposal to assume a service supporting Peru GBC, is not something I really want, even if there was a poll in Peru, I think most would not want to do that service. As I mentioned before, you asked us that in 2006, besides that, I had some dreams with JPS Maharaj, what my astral chart says, and the proposal of some devotees made me arrive at this moment. But the most important to me is what You think in the present. I talked about this topic with Divya M. and Atmananda Prabhu, both know I'm tempted to send this letter with the proposal to JPS Maharaja. Gurudeva... You think I'm doing well to give this proposal to Maharaj?

- Finally I also believe that in the junta of Chosica we have good people, and Karuna Prabhu is very serious, his presence is important not only for Chosica, is also for the Yatra in general. Anyway I think there are deeper issues, such as lack of a supervisor of GBC, define better who is the CO-GBC, an appropriate structure and supervision at different levels. It will be a big task to establish that in Iskcon Peru.

                                          Please forgive my sins, Your silly disciple Amd .

Hare Krishna! Dear Gurumaharaj, Pamho, AGTSP!

As I said before, NIMSAR is rethinking some aspects of procedures because communications haven't been very well and that is affecting our relationships within NIMSAR.

I'm been trying to set a meeting, but it seems that we are not quite ready to talk openly about our concerns. We are focus in "doing" things and I don't think is healthy. We are taking desicions sepparatly without consulting each other. 

So I'm presenting here some ideas. Its a rough document, very imperfect. But its just to start with something to talk about. Its actually a reactive document. A lawyer, friend of mine, told me not to worry cause usually laws come as a reaction of certain situation that needs to be address o resolve.

Please, we need a prompt answer. I'm really concerned about NIMSAR communications. We need your good advise to go on. I felt that we are like obstructed. 

Thank you very much.

LAD 

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna.  Thank you very much for your letter. Yes, a dialog. First thing: Are you obstructed?  Misra-bhagavan Das told me that he heard Prabhupada say that in any situation we may be able to change the actions, plans and perspectives of others or maybe we can't, but we can ALWAYS change our attitude etc toward the situation. Are you happy and clear about how to relate to NIMSAR? This may even mean that there are certain things that you are SURE are UNSURE. In brief, what is your attitude, plans and acts with NIMSAR?

The following is too complicated for us. Maybe start with just one or two of the dicta below and then we can discuss it.

Braja-bihari Das told us that Jaga-jivana Das has left his body and gone to Goloka or at least en route to Goloka.  It twists our heart to hear this and the more it sinks in the more we feel tortured. We were alone in our trip to India in 1978. Alone in traveling to Jaipur to try and arrange transport of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai from Kalakendra Murti Walla to Berkeley.

Fever, everything.

Then we saw an ISKCON devotee, Sannyasi passing on the road in a rickshaw. We hailed each other in the traffic and then talked and spent time together during the next few days. That was our first encounter with Prabhuji.

Later we began to know him during our work in South America. It seemed that he had left his Ashrama as Sannyasa, and also been removed, and moved out of GBC positions, but was still the Temple President in the little country of Uraguay. We heard that he had some problems with controling anger and had been involved in a few marriage relations, but had strong character in his preaching and administration of his Yatra.

He was an advocate for his national and other ideas on a global level with the GBC. We visited Uraguay and were with him in the programs there. We had a friendly, funny relation.

Later, Prabhuji becamed involved in Peru, and Regional Secretary for Peru and so forth, Member of the Latin American GBC Regional Council etc.

He was always a strong self-reliant person. He married a very nice, Russian devotee and visited the Peru yatra at great personal sacrifice and expense, working on the business and political level, and personal level. His good wife appeared to us to be a greatly stabalizing factor is life and service.

It also seems to us that he was able to re-establish his reputability at the GBC level by this hard and practical work and then was honored to develop a program for educating devotees world-wide in how ISKCON Law works.

Then this heart problem became very bad. He hospitalized and has now left his body.

He was a good man. We are honored that we knew him and hope that this is just one more step in his journey forward for himself and his friends.

Hare Krsna Gurudeva,

Please accept my respecful obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada !

Well[,] I finished studing e[E]nglish last year and I have forgotten even more[many] things so I hope I wont [won't] make many mistakes. There is [was] always a continue [continuous] strive [strife [struggle]] to finish our good rounds at [on] time and [but] now that I came back to Chosica there is more time to chant better without homeworks [singular, no 's'] to present for the following day, everyday. As You know I left Cusco and it was like four weeks ago, before leaving I tried to leave my documents ready if I wanted to come back to Cusco and continue studing in the second semester  because I ap[p]roved [passed] all the courses of the first semester when I went to Cusco when You Gurudeva where already here in Chosica, however, everything happened so fast that I couldnt do everything, so all of this makes me think that if I come back to Cusco I could start since the begining, of course, if Krsna wants me back. The reason I came is because we are doing Harinama everyday with some devotees and then we can probably go to the Holy Dham next year ! s[S] o far, is kinda difficult to believe this is going to happen, however, we wont [won't] stop and we will give our best because Maya is very, very strong and we can clearly see that she works trying different ways and we feel so weak because we have ups and downs all the time. We hope all this three hours daily of Harinama during six months will purifies [purify] us enough to get to the Holy Dham, we know Harinama is as strong as Krsna Himself because there is no difference between Them, however, if it is not the moment  we will keep preparing ourselves to be ready when the moment comes.  Finally, we are nothing without Your and devotees blessings[,] so we are going to strive to be worthy to receive them.  Que el Señor Nrsimha Deva lo siga protegiendo.

Su aspirante a sirvienta,

Sita Lalita Devi Dasi.

HpS - ASA - Thank you for the news. As you can see your English is quite good, just some practice to correct some details.
Yes, chant Hare Krsna as much as possible and pray to Krsna to help you to advance very practically in devotional service. It should be fun and exciting, lots of progress everyday!
Send more news.

Who goes on Hari-nama?  Where do you go?  What type of people do you meet? ..
