Hare Krsna,
Sigue la respuesta de Mathuresa Das acerca de su situacion:
Estimado Maharaja:
Pamho, agtSP
Esta pareja ha tenido varias oportunidades para servir en Iskcon. Parece que sus problemas son muy graves y en esta situación no son aptos para servir en nuestra comunidad por el momento. Podríamos darles más posibilidades, pero creo que va a hacer más daño (a ellos ya Iskcon) que bien.
En este punto, si son bienvenidos en el programa de Vrinda, les diría que encontrar alguna asociación allí hasta que consiguen sus mentes y vidas personales juntos y tratar de nuevo con nosotros. Por supuesto, yo sugeriría que se mantienen en contacto con usted para los informes y asesoramiento espiritual.
Esa es mi humilde opinión.
Ys

O.K. Una reportaje despues de una semana:
1. Cuantos rondas cada dia?
2. Cuatro principios?
3. Vrnda?
4. Buscando asociacion de unas buenas personas.
Krsna es su amigo ultimo. Nunca va a dejar Vd. si tratar tomar refugio de el.
Hare Krisna maharaja
PAMHO AGTSP
Am I suffering ?
Or may be I am surfing
May be I am surfering
in the material world.
Right now in Alicante
Our plan was to perform some Sankirtana (Book distribution) Jagya but as usuall Krisna had some other plans.
Got involved in Yasodanandana prabhu Krisna cusine Lila.
Yadu Swami, Nitiananda prabhu and my good self try to help in the mediation.
Finally we got a win win solution by krisna´s merci.
We are trying to help Yasodanandana prabhu´s family to stablish in Radadesh.
He has a sister in brussels and she would like to support and we belife is a nice place for the children to grow.
Yasodanandana prabhu is allready there. Lets see wich are the plans of the teenager and his flute.
Marta and my self keep surfing in the material world dressing the mess with some bhakti stuff.
Basic shadana 16/4 reg
Dealing with some cyatic nerve pain and geting recover from the 3 years service in Madrid slowly but surely.
Some book distribution
Taking care of the veg garden (we are now 70 % food self suffency, got potatos, and pumquins for the whole winter and plenty of salad and beets, carrots, Kale, cabagge, chard , etc) we eat simply but healthy
Also developing some euro funding projects:
Took some 15 second generation devotees to the slovenian padayatra for 15 days it was a crazy, nice trip. All of the boys and girls restablish their identities as young vaisnavas, many of them cried on the begining because did not want to come and then cried at the end because they did not want to go back home.
These Euro funding and the sankirtan is helping us to get out of debts and hopefully we will get rid of on the beguining of 2017.
Also helping yadunandana swami´s institute and other ISKCON friendly projects to get acces to the funding.
We also got a nice second hand 9 seats van and we are using it in the service of the sankirtan and the devotees.
So Basicaly we have our base at north Spain, taking care of my lovely vrindavan son.
He will go to university in 2 and 1/2 years then we will see.
Doing some sankirtan and some devotee care.
Taking care of the garden and working with second generation and euro funding.
From the administrative point of view I am under the authoritie of Yadunandana Swami and GBC Hrdaya Caitanya but basicaly running my own organitation www.asociacion-nandagram.org
One devotee asked me if I worship my own deities and then I thought that the devotees are my deities I am not patient enough to worshes but I love to help devotees to fulfill their dreams and to solve their obstucles so for now on I will acept devotees as my deities.
Miss you a lot
Hope to see you soon

HPS - Hare Krsna. AgtSP. Thank you for your letter. First principle is that we can die at any moment. A driver can lose control on the highway and smash your body into mutilated corpse or... first we accept this principle and give our life to Krsna. Then the witch cannot touch us.
Then understand your service to Krsna and Prabhupada. Talk with them.
Then develop your team, friends. Then look at the institution. It may be good it may be bad. Accept it as it is and work to help it.
That was Prahlada attitude toward his father, institution.
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet !!!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada !!!!
Thank you very much for your reply to my previous letter...I am trying to understand what you told me...I am reading your answer time and time again..
The last paragraph you wrote :
"Seems to me the only thing we can really do is to pray to Krsna at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada very sincerely. If that doesn't work we seem to be lost." I find this statement very meaningful..!!!
May I apply this statement for my daily chanting japa? is this right ?
"Pray to Krishna at the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada very sincerely"....this also refers at the time to chanting japa ?
I am thinking to take this thought as a very important instruction for all my life.....for the rest of my life...is this right ?
I have always been wondering how should I chant my rounds ?, what is the intention that I should have to chant, how my consciousness should be ?....because I am always wanting to "enjoy" my japa..." feel good "...and this conclusion that you gave me I think is very good for me...because I released all longing for the "result"......it makes me free to chant my rounds in a fruitive way...with attachment to the result.....but rather becomes a prayer...a prayer with humility....recognizing that I do not control "Krishna's mercy" and I am not the "enjoyer" of my japa.....do you understand me, Gurudeva?
Just pray to Krishna sincerely and humbly begging for His causeless mercy , and try to understand that I am not the cause of the result.....Now, I am trying to meditate in this statement that you gave me when I am chanting my rounds.....it is right ?
HpS - Seems right, but you can sincerely pray for many things in your service of Japa. You can chant in the mood of. "ayi Nanda tanuja kinkaram..."
SB is full of prayer moods!H
With regard to my service....the book distribution, since a time ago I am going every Sunday to Chosica Mandir and I am setting a small table with Srila Prabhupada books.
I am also trying to reception to new people who come to visit the temple, welcome to the visitors, I think this service is quite fit my nature because I like dealing with people and talk with them.
For some years I have a chronic problem in the joint of my leg and this prevents me from walking for a long time, I can not do sankirtan on buses as before, a lot of walking causes me pain, that is why I am trying to distribute some books on Sundays in Chosica Temple and as you say : if we are following the process right then Krishna sends sincere people to give them some books and talk a little bit about Krishna Consciousness !
Gurudeva, for the time being I say goodbye to you..
Please give me your blessings to perform my service and also to understand that I am just a fool and I just depend on your mercy to do something right.
Please forgive all my offenses !!!
Thank you very much for all your mercy !!!!!
Trying to be your disciple !!!

HpS - Great. So many people come and never have someone who becomes their friend not stays in contact with them. Your Chosica Sankirtan sounds nice. Find ways to do Sankirtan during the week. Join others.
yes gurudeva
I'm singing 16 rounds daily minimum and most of the time singing in the morning, thanks for your reply.

Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
I hope this letter finds you very well and happy. I want to thank you for all the effort and sacrifice you make to free these souls of the fire of ignorance in which we are trapped. We are eternally indebted to you.
Please excuse me for not writing so often, I remember you always and try to have your transcendental association following your instructions, but I feel ashamed because I can not always comply 100%. Please forgive this flawed soul.
Despite the very confused and sad days, more than ever we stick to the process, for me have been very difficult because, other problems appears (family) but, still, we are trying hard to control the senses, the mind, struggling with tama-guna.
As Gandharva dasa said, we are studying the Srimad Bhagavatam I'm also reading at night Venu-gita, I'm delighted, it's so sweet and funny. I'm learning to sing and feel "He Gopinatha" of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. These are saving my life. Also, we are studying the TTC1 in Vaishnava School (Param Padam dasa) that has revived us a lot.
I want to ask your merciful instruction regarding the following situation: We had made many plans to stay in Chosica because, the air here it is more clean than Lima (you said we use poetry...) But lately the air is polluted. I would like to understand the current situation in the jatra of Lima and Chosica..Perú, philosophically speaking. It is known that Krishna's plan is perfect, but I do not understand, I try to have a spiritual perspective of everything that is going on, but I do not know, we are neophytes, it hurts to see how things are so different from what Srila Prabhupada wrote.
I do not understand what attitude to take in this environment of devotional service, where it is so easy to be censured and criticized, just for doing service. We have seen very good devotees, with more than 20 years in ISKCON, very sadhaners, preachers have been removed and censored. So, please Gurudeva, I beg you blessed me with enough intelligence to see mercy, because in this situation, where exist an absurd paranoia, make service in a favorable way is very difficult and even dangerous.
Thank you very much for your time dear Gurudeva.
May Lord Nrisimha always protect you.
Trying to improve my sadhana, trying to serve
