HpS - Pero, ¿qué estás leyendo?  Un resumen aqui!  Cosas interesantes.

Obtener un amigo y leer con ellos. Comente lo que lee cuando se reúne. Hará que todas sus colecciones, todo sea fácil, fácil y fácil. ¿Por qué sufrir?

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

Please accept my humble obeisances. 

This is Lakshmi, daughter of Raktak Das. I would like to thank you for your very nice message to our family, especially our mother. We all appreciate your support. 

I would like to ask you one question. Do you think that my father is in Goloka Dham with Lord Krishna?

HpS - Hare Krsna!    I don't know, but I do know that if he even taking birth in Sydney, Australia, in ISKCON, Krsna is there with him.

Sriman Raktaka Swami was such a fun person, so personal, how could Krsna and His associates not want to be with him and include him in Their play?
 

Isn't that more important, to go where is proper for us to go, but to be such fun people that Krsna and all His associates always want to join us and play with us?

Considering everything, he may take birth in Gokula in this world, and go on with all his work. When Bhakti Svarupa Damodara left his body, he was my Sannyasa Guru, and very close friend, I was very, very strongly feeling that, "Yes, it is very painful feeling separation from him, but that is only temporary, and as long as we are dedicated to whatever we learned from him about serving Krsna and we carry on his work then there is practically no separation. We really feel our Guru, father, older Godbrother with us taking a very, very practical interest in how the work is going".

How old are your sister and Bhimasena?

I hope we can all receive further spiritual guidance from you. Many thanks. Hare Krishna. 

Yours servant, 

Lakshmi Devi Dasi

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Dear Gurudeva
Please accept my obeisances
Thank you so much for your beautiful reply, it made our week, my parents and brothers send their respects to you. 

One of the reasons of this letter is that I couldn't see your Vyasa Puja date in the Vaisnava Calendar for this month, not for the beginning of January next year. I wrote to the coordinator and asked about it, this was his reply: 

Dear Dhanesvari dd.
PAMHO AGTSP
To add VP for your guru we need to known date, time and city where he born. If you have or can get this info we will add his VP asap. He is a very exalted SP disciple.

Can you please provide us with the details? We know you were Born: January 12, 1948 in Guam but not the time. 

HpS - My mother says that she got back to the hospital room after the delivery and heard the cars leaving from the Base Cinema, which happened about 10PM. So it must have been a little after 9PM. You can check to see if there were any earthquakes of meteor showers, or any other inauspicious events at that time. That would give you the exact time.

Also we have bought our tickets to India, we'll land in Kolkata January 18th at 11pm. We are thrilled with the idea of traveling with you, thank you so much for your kind invitation. Would be nice to know more details so we can arrange our internal tickets and if there is any extra visa requirements we need arrange beforehand.

HpS - Look at the Calendar in the Kapi-dhvava. It is pretty accurate. From the 18th we do this rapid travel in the Northeast: Assam, Tripura, Manipur. That would probably be too intense for anyone except Dhruva. Then you see we go to Delhi/Vraja. That would be nice to be there together. Then Pune, Navi-mumbai, Kolkata, Mayapur. Those dates need a little adjusting, but the rough idea is there. We will update those in the next ten days.

I was invited to dress Sri Sri Radha Govardhanadari. Nrisimha Kavaca Prabhu taught me the process of bathing the small deities himself, needless to say I was extremely happy to be back in the pujari after almost 3.5 years (last time I dressed their Lordships I was 6 months pregnant), from now on, I'll be dressing small Radha Govardhandari every Sunday.

ASA - Boro mandir pujari, Ki Jai!

HH Devamrita Swami (Dhruvananda' Gurudeva) was visiting the area, we were lucky to have his association and cook for him. We are really looking forward to having your association too and get to serve you in whatever way way we can. 
Thank you so much for caring for us and for your time.  
Trying to be helpful

HpS - How old is your father?   Sannyasa? <img alt="wink" height="23" src="http://hps.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.png" title="wink" width="23" />

Hare Krishna ! 

Por Favor Acepte mis reverencias y que todas las Glorias Sean  a Srila Prabhupada !!

Todas las Glorias Sean Para ud Guru Maharaj

HpS - ASA -- 7% de las glorias a nosotros! (?)

Hare Krishna, Gurudev acepte mis reverencias eternamente , puse urgente en el titulo ya que no quiero estar ocupado en adorar las Silas sin su aprobacion y en respuesta a sus preguntas es que si, estoy ocupado como jefe de pujari aqui en Chile hace 7 meses (fijo todos los dias de lunes a lunes todos los turnos ) viviendo en el templo y mi esposa  Nitya Siddha tambien ,y antes de eso osea de enero que me dio Diksa a junio estuve ocupado todos los findes de semana completo . y ahora estoy ocupado todos los dias todos los turnos , aun no hemos podido lograr que los devotos se inspiren en querer mantener un servicio de adoracion directo a la deidad .. asique me estoy levantando todos los dias a mangalarati sin importar a que hora me acueste desp de tantos servicios , en particular esta semana que paso fue todo un desafio ya que empezo maraton  y llegaron muchos devotos de otras partes a participar y aun estava haciendo informes del bbt esperando a que la autoridad acepte devuelta el serivicio de bbt y busque alguien quien continue con eso para poder estar ocupado completamente en la adoracion y que cuando este adorando no golpeen la puerta del pujari por libros ... etc ....asique todos estos dias pasados me estuve acostando realmente muy tarde ya que terminaba el turno en la tarde y me sentava en la oficina de bbt a atender y resolver los pedidos hasta las 00:00hs ,  01:00hs  y aun asi por misericordia de los devotos, seguimos levantandonos a mangalarati sin importar situacion alguna asiq nos mantenemos ocupado en adorar las Saligram Silas , Giri Govardhana , Nrsmha Prahlad .y las principales Paramakaruna Sri Sri Gaura Nitay , Gracias a ud que me permitio nacer por segunda vez ,Las fotos que le mande es de algunos de los  dias que adoro . mis rondas no son antes de mangalarati pero terminando para poder mantenernos en servicio . y asi poder continuar ocupados en adorar a Sri Sri Guru y Gauranga !

Por otro lado cuando entre como unico pujari fue por que al anterior el GbC ( Srla Virabahu ) pidio que deberia salir inmediatamente por algunas situaciones que surgieron , y no habiendo nadie con mi esposa decidimos tomar el servicio y desafio hasta enero desde junio que empezamos (completo) junto con la peticion de expulsion del pujari se pidio comunicar a Su Santidad Jaya Pataka Maharaj para que quiten las Silas del Altar . ya que la adoracion inapropiada podria ser "la causa" por la cual los pujaris no se mantenian en el tiempo .,,,, eso fue en julio y recien hace unas semanas  el GBC pidio Fotos de las Silas ,... Las cual mande   . y su respuesta fue  que se les complicaba tomar una decision viendolas  tan bien atendidas.. Nuestra intencion es poder estar correctamente ocupados en ese servicio entendiendo que sin su aprobacion para poder continuar con ese serivcio en el hogar,,   no vale de nada estar haciendolo ,  solo por su misericordia y aprobacion nosotros podremos ejecutar servicio apropíadamente.

Agradecido por tanta misericordia para con esta alma

HpS - Hare Krsna,
Es un poco difícil para nosotros entender cosas en español. También, a menudo, la gente no escribe cosas con puntuación adecuada, por lo que las ideas no siempre son claras.
Como entendemos la última cabeza pujari fue eliminado y usted y su buena esposa se hizo cargo.
Tienes el trabajo de BBT también.
Por supuesto, queremos trabajar con el GBC y la administración de ISKCON.
Usted está preguntando acerca de comenzar a adorar a su propio Saligrama-silas, no sólo a los Silas en el altar del Templo.
Mi intuición es que es un poco temprano para que empieces a adorar a tu propio Silas, pero puedes tomarlos, incluirlos con la adoración del Templo de Silas y si no hay ningún problema, entonces dentro del próximo año podrías tomarlos Como su familia Silas. Si no, entonces usted podría estar buscando un buen hogar para ellos. Es una responsabilidad tan grande como tener hijos.
Creo que es bueno seguir adelante de esa manera y luego después de un año hacer el compromiso de toda la vida.

O.K.?

HARE KRSNA!  

HARE RAMA!!

Long, very busy, very productive day.

We Texted Yuddhiasthira Govinda Das in Delhi and he CALLED us right back. We talked very practically about organizing the NIOS visit to Delhi, 31st-4th of January.  NIOS has such opportunities to develop now. Will you help?  Push the June Symposium in Peru, magazine.

Organizing the visit to Houston. Candra mukhi DD arrives in a few hours.

So, many things.

Now is 9-minutes to sundown. Cloudy all day. 40-degree F.

Quick bath and go visit Radha Natabara and NGD and Matajis with Bh. Daniel.

oH!  Tommorrow is Odana sasti. Vyasapuja of B. S. Damodara Swami, anniversary of HpS Sannyasa, and Tirobhava Festival for Sriman Raktaka Das. Maybe we do online program tommorrow night. Watch for Tweet, and here.

All Glory to Srila Prabhupada!!!

All Glory to Sankirtan movement!!!!

Dear Guru Maharaja

I hope you are in very good health, so it's very complicated to deal with material's circumstances I keep on striving for reach Prabhupada's mercy.

HpS - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. "The kingdom of God is for none except the completely dead", Bible.

Prabhu Iksvaku from León, asked to me that he is very anxious, and beg him to you for a visitar on his preach's center at your next visit.

HpS - Ooof. That ia 24th -30th December. Maybe we will have to go later.

We celebrated the 40'th annual Ratha Yatra's festival, and we are so shocked because  many good devotees passed away like your spiritual brother Vrajavasi Prabhu from Celaya.

HpS - Are you surprised?   Ha!  Ha!   What did the Yaksa ask Yuddhisthira?  He asked, "What is the most amazing thing?". What did Yuddhistira answer!?

I pray that I may be a good servant of you. sincerely,

Your crew member Aniruddha Krsna Das

HpS - Are you going to take Sannyasa? Go to India??   Will we see you in DF??
