Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Pabhupada !!!

Hare krishna Dear Guru Maharaja.

I hope you are well, ... I'm reading regularly monkey warrior.

Gunagrahi Maharaj sent me this:

Best wishes, Prabhu. AGTSP

Thank you very much for sending me the message of his guru maharaja. I'm very

grateful for his words. I'll write soon.

Doing a review, every day, about topics difrentes and watching my habits that I want to leave ... bad words, criticize others, meddle, talk about politics, eating exes, talk about the opposite sex, on the other hand assistance to mangalartik, japa, class of Srimad Bhagavatam, Deity worship, study, reading. yoga, extra services

I have seen different cycles, and as I have refrained from bad habits and I have tried to keep the good habits, really I perceive something of kindness. Also patterns change for different tracks and I'm looking where I am choosing, still a lot of passion and ignorance, while I can see changes, in my mind, and this brings me confidence in You and Krishna, I have a cycle of 20 days, programs spiritual never leave, but the quality of my abosorcion moves.

And I try to abstain in bad time to talk about dastardly things, I have clearer habits of mind and I'm trying to stick more to Krishna, I realize that one is an obstacle in the service, while I'm not negative with myself, I am taking responsibility

I watched some videos of Carl G. Jung, identify me and I liked the topic of how to work the shadow, I did not see it in detail, but captures some observations

Continue with university studies., In the last exam, the professor of logic put me 10, I know this is mercy.

This morning we were invited to a class of journalism at the Catholic University, to present our religion, Buddhists also came, and we could see better how to present Krishna consciousness

Here in Buenos Aires there are 8 brahmacaris, everyone is doing book distribution in the streets, only I, the brahmacaris, I am serving Sri Sri Gaura Nitai.

Elllos They traveled all year, Rosario, Paraguay, Cordoba, Mendoza, after Govardan they travel to Bahia Blanca, and make marton December in Chile.

Thank Guru Maharaja for His mercy

to serve

Hare Krsna HpS - Thank you news. If Prabhupada personally came to you and asked you to lead his moment what would you do, think?

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada y a Su Sankirtana Eterno!!!

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj reciba mis respetuosas reverencias, aqui en Huancayo tenemos la visita trascendental de Maharaj Maha Vishnu y los Harinan Ruci, estaran tres dias acá en Huancayo, mucho nectar para purificarnos.

Guru Maharaj aqui le respondo a la pregunta que me hace:

HpS - Claro, mejorar su mismo! Peru achintya bheda abheda, para mejorar nuestra mismos, tenemos que associar con otrs: Krsna, Gopis, Gopas, Narottama Das Thakura, ISKCON pujaris, Sankirtaneros... Desarrolla su caracter pero en el mismo tiempo desarrollar su Iglesia, no?

Bueno Guru Maharaj, en lo personal quizás no pueda desarrollar un templo ó iglesia ó centro cultural, pienso que mejor es desarrollar el sankirtana "La distribución de libros de Srila Prabhupada"..asosiación con Sankirtaneros, pienso es mejor. Atender las Deidades que tenemos en un aspecto personal, pero más atender el Sankirtana....libros.

Por otro lado hace 2 meses perdimos comunicación con Prabhu Jagad Bandhu...

Bueno Guru Maharaj me despido, que Nrisimha lo proteja.

Hare Krsna!!

Gadai Gauranga

HpS ... Hare Krsna. Muy bien. Nityananda en Sankirtan directed, Gadadhata en aksetra sanyasa, Ramananda Rai en nirjana bhakan etc. ComoKrsna ocupa vd. En Su movimiento de sankiryana es perfect!

Hare Krsna, Mates!

AGTSP ... paoho....-[;o]/\___

8.01PM...  Just putt'n the work to rest. Long day.  Our neighbor Robbie Robinson, saw the grass getting knee high here before M. Matsya had their gardener, Wayne Robinson, come and cut it. Robbie put a note on the door that he could cut it, so we called him and worked it out for $35 a visit. We were leaving for someplace and gave $35 for that day and total $108 for two more days.

He never came again and then Wayne cut it and worked out a regular deal for us.

I called Robbie's number twice and it said, "This subscriber is temporarily disconnected" or so.

Then, a week ago, after two months, he called and asked if we had any work.  I chided him that he owed us two jobs on the lawn. He apologized and asked if his sister hadn't told us he was in Rehab.

He kept calling, so  I said to come by Monday morning and we could talk about fixing garage. The paint was coming off and it was getting rotted. We talked about it Monday and he said that he had been a profession painter for 10-years and we worked out what was a reasonable price to me.

Then we went to Ferrar Brothers Hardware. They have Hardware, Equipment Rental, Repair; an old Murfreesboro family. Half the people working there knew him, his cousin was married to so-n-so's cousin who used to play Blue Grass with ol' Jeff, who went to High School with . . .

So, Monday and today I've been haggling over details of the work, making advances for buy used ladders, cigarettes, Mountain Dew and Snickers. He called his son, Mathew and he joined the work.

When I even get close to the cigarette smoke I can feel the poison in the nicotine, but eventually we talked about God, and like so many people here, he believes in God. He's had some right up-and-front experiences with Him, but it was a LOT of energy, but in the end the garage is scraped, rot-dug out and rebuilt, painted, and looks like a new building for $550 for supplys and labor for two painters for two days.

Also, talked with Dr. Samaresh while we were out today. The main thing is that we seem to be getting to a stable level of team work. He had very thoughtful comments about "Solaris".

We did Nirjala Ekadasi until noon, then offered Lord Nrsmhadeva Boiled Potato with salt and butter, Almond Butter and raw Walnuts, steamed apple and figs, fresh juice from two apples, and two bananas.

O.K.

Good night!

3-gayatris, 16-rounds, banking for HpS/NIOS, answered URGENT mail, rest up to 5-days ago.

Tomorrow we go to Chicago at noon.

Hare Krsna!

Hare Krsna Beloved Gurudeva

I have a problem I am a little embarrased .. I was asking for help to Govinda pramonandini for accomodations.. but she does not asure me for proper accomodations.. Do U know who may help me???? Guest house is $50per day $700 just in accomodations is too much. Sorry GM for being so insolent in asking U for some help.

Your useless servant

HpS - ASA -- Very interesting. AGTSP.  I guess we will be there during the 50th Anniversary and Gita jayanti.  Yes, calendar says 8-12th Dec there for us. Of course, Govinda p. Dasi is principal person to help. Jiva Goswami Das lives some distance from Temple and has his wife and daughter to accomodate.

Hari-lila Das lives about 20-minutes from Temple and we can't check with him because he is in India until the 7th.

In any case you should get in touch with Caitanya-caritamrta Das and his esteemed wife Subhra Devi Dasi. He is our disciple for long time, contractor, working with Temple projects. She is Principal for the Goswami Academy, Disciple of H. H. Bh. Caru Swami and very excellent, professionally certified and lots of word in public schools as a Teacher and then school Principal. She is very cheerful and intelligent person and because of you PhD in education, everything you should be in touch with her.

Maybe got visa but no place to stay!    Yet, good chance to show interest.
I will send a copy of this letter to them with copy to you.

...   Sent ... 

Super-girl goes to Houston! (For Krsna).

             Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja!

             Todas las Glorias a S:D:G Srila Prabhupada!!

              Por favor acepte nuestras Humildes reverencias a sus divinos pies de loto!! (ASA - Loco)

              Guru Maharaja, Hemos estados 2 year en este maravilloso proyecto de Krsna Cuisine y todo va viento en popa, cada dia mas personas se acercan a tomar Prasadam, a los programas de Bhagavad Gita los miercoles, Fiestas de Bhakti-Yoga los domingos, festival  vegan fest en Alicante y festivales  de yoga, todo ello Gracias al apoyo de Nityananda Prabhu, antiguo presidante del templo de Lisboa portugal!!   

                Kesava Bharati Prabhu esta cultivando y creando un solido equipo de devotos rus@s que estan trabajando en el proyecto y felices de poder practicar conciencia de krsna y a su vez ganar su vida. 

                Debido a la intensidad del trabajo y a nuestras diferencias Spico-fisicas y culturales se han creado tensiones entre nosotros, despues de varios dias de analisis y busqueda de soluciones en un equipo formado por Yadunandana Swami, Jaramara Haridas prabhu; Nityananda Prabhu, hemos  llegado a un acuerdo, en el que se pondran todos los medios necesarios para cambiarnos a Radhadesh y es algo que nos hace muy felices porque nunca hemos vivido en una comunidad con devotos y porque pensamos es un buen momento para los kids tener mas asociacion con devotos de su edad, vivir y estudiar en un entorno mas devocional. Yo seguiria preparando prasadam en la cocina del restorant de Radhadesha y apoyar a mi hermana con su teatro de sombras en Brussels si fuese posible.

                Vemos y sentimos la mano de Srimati Radharani en todo este arreglo y vivimos en la  ilimitada compasion y misericordia sin causa de H;D;G Srila Prabhupada, Que nos desciende a traves de usted, solo un alma tan compasiva y llena de conciencia de krsna como usted

HpS - ASA  -  Es misericordia de Srila Prabhupada que podemos actuar de cualquiere modo sano!

...puede tolerar tantos inconvenientes causados por un tonto y arrogante como yo, Por favor Guru Maharaja, sea compasivo y perdone nuestras ofensas a sus pies de loto!!

                 Su inutil Sirvientes Yasodanandana Das y Ekadrsti D.d

                  TODA GLORIA A H,D,G SRILA PRABHUPADA!!     HARE KRSNA!!             

          P.D :    Yo tengo a una hermana  mayor; Lira Mercedes Campoamor, Que vive desde hace 8 year en Brusselas , 2 hijos estudiantes en la universidad de parlamento brussels y tiene una pequenia compania de teatro de sombras chinescas que funciona muy bien en Brussels, es una Devota de Krsna pero nesecita asociacion.

                    PD: Que piensa usted de todo esto Guru Maharaja?? es correcto lo que hacemos?

HpS - ASA - Of what we can understand of the situation from Nashville, Tennessee it seems very nice, on a very good path to the little town in the big forest, Vrndavana.

Radha desa is a little isolated. Are there children there?

I used to travel a lot with my friends Lokanatha Das. We had marrionets and shadow puppets. One show was, "The Sparrow Who Lost Her Eggs to the Ocean". It's in a purport in the BG!

More news as it happens!

Expect big adventures! 

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Since we last met, I spent some time visiting friends in Atlanta & family in South Carolina. I spent some time working on a few pieces commissioned by relatives and then I just arrived in Charleston a few days ago. It took longer than expected to get here, and I have less time than I hoped for but where there's a will there's a way. It's all very exciting.

Blake & I met right away to set a schedule for everything we need to do, and it's a long list, but I asked advice from a curator in Sumter and I was relieved to find that it all seems a little easier than I was expecting.

The other day we met the gallery owner who will be hosting our show. She was very amicable and willing to help us with promotion. The venue is small but well placed. It is a storefront at a psychiatric office that hosts art exhibits in their lobby. It is in a "hip" part of town with restaurants and bars where a lot of young people hang out. There's even a yoga studio right next door. I was thinking maybe in the future we could even arrange for you to speak at an exhibition there. I'm sure both the clinic and the yoga studio would be thrilled to have you.

I've been trying to develop some imagery to visually represent different concepts like the body mind and soul and their interactions, so Blake and I were discussing at length about our theme. It's amazing how sometimes a simple conversation can have a profound effect of enabling people to witness their own ideas which may otherwise have remained embryonic in their minds forever. I really felt like a "philosophical midwife" in this instance and I could practically see her coming to significant realizations about how the soul is different from the brain, about how only love of God can truly satisfy the self.

Although we are currently utilizing her flat as a studio space, the roommates and visitors  are constantly coming and going. She has pictures of Krishna and Mahaprabhu all over the house (even a Jagannath sticker on her car dashboard) and I usually put out a photo of you also while I'm working so I never feel like I'm ever alone with just her. Even though the situation is not ideal, it's not the worst either. It looks like she also likes to hear your lectures, so I try to play them as often as possible while working.

We just had our first meeting with our other contributors and they all seem as fired up as we are about it. Our goals for this week are to complete as much art as possible (including a commission I got some time ago) so we can put together a press packet by the weekend. We want to include an image & short statement from each contributor. After that we will try to get my videographer friend Chap to compile some "work in progress" footage from the studio that we can circulate as a kind of trailer.

As far as my personal sadhana goes, everything is streamlined, and sometimes a little scattered, but a full program seems to get done somehow or other and I'm chanting a good16 rounds early in the morning and getting some reading in. Throughout the day I try to engage everyone around me in hearing and chanting as much as possible, especially since it's kartik.

I'll be staying at my friend Chap's house for the duration of my stay here and trying to instill in him some good habits while I'm around. He is struggling on his own out here and he is very grateful to have some association.

The situation is a bit chaotic, because I have to deal with my friends' lifestyles and their mundane daily struggles like loss and rejection etc, but it seems they really appreciate a Krishna Conscious perspective on things. I've been cooking prasad for everyone practically every day and even though I have to deal with using other peoples cooking supplies and occasionally people tasting bhoga and other inconveniences, the atmosphere is all very nice. I'm trying to imbibe the mood that Srila Prabhupada had early on when engaging hippies and not not focus on things that people couldn't or wouldn't do, but rather focus on what people can and would do. The way I see it is that this kind of independent preaching is like being in a speedboat rather than a giant tanker. At the temple, you don't feel so much the crashing of the waves of the modes of material nature, but this program enables me to be more flexible and maneuverable in terms of getting things done. Although it's kind of a bumpy ride I feel safe knowing that if I stay focused on serving you and Krishna I will always be protected no matter what the situation.

Your shudra servant, 

Ekashma Das

HpS-ASA - Super!  AGTSP!!   paoho...   you serving prasad at the event??

I forgot about the painting of Prabhupada that you gave us and then I saw it on our book case and now end up contemplating it as the King of our living room whenever we are there. That's all it really takes, no?  How would Prabhupada look at this situation...

Keep yourself a little grounded as a leader so that you can teach other people to do your current job and then everything can expand.

When is the event?

Send a link to the Trailer.

Please send photo of the Blake and others!
