Dear Guru Maharaj  !!  I salute you with a deep respect, all the glories to you, all my obeisances to you, to Srila Prabhupada and, also, to all devotees of our Lord, Sri Krsna. 

Some days ago I talked with Ananda Vardhana Das about the last letter I sent to you ("the dream of Srila Prabhupada"). He helped me to understand  that my letter was very extensive and he told me you dislike that.  I'm so sorry, please forgive me and give me another chance.

HpS - Hare Krsna!    It is not that we "dislike" long letters. It is that we don't have the resources to appreciate them, especially in this media. Jaya!

Everyday I read Srila Prabhupada's books. Every week, 4 or 5 days, I go out into the street to distribute His books. I chant 16 rounds everyday, with great effort, some days more and some days least.

I drag a lot of anxiety in my mind because of legal problems with my ex-wife, and my Bhakti it ain't pure because of that, but I try to do my best. I burned my legs in an accident with gas (only thanks to Krsna it was not serious) and then I suffered some colds, for first time in many years. The accident was before the last letter I sent to you, I wrote it during my convalescence, and also this one (I have a cold). I'm so sorry for giving you bad news about me.

HpS - We cannot suffer in this world unless we enjoy. This is a world of dualities. We suffer cold because we had heat. With Krsna there is no duality, only happiness. The suffering and happiness are both happiness. So see things that happen you life from a Krsna conscious perspective. Be a well-wisher of your wife. Think how you can help her. If she is full of fear and greedy because of that then help her.

Everyday I think of Krsna and Srila Prabhupada. And everyday I think about your person, Guru Maharaj.

All blessings to you, your disciples and any people around you...

Your aspiring disciple and servant, 
Carlos Rold.

HpS - Hare Krsna, Carlos!    Your name sounds like King Roland of Germany of the Holy Roman Empire of the Catholic church.
Gon chanting. It seems this is not your first lifetime being a devotee. Make progress: 1. Get free from distress, 2. Get everything in harmony and balance.,  3. Get transcendental relationship, service, with Krsna!
Get to work... Improve your craft.

BHAKTIN AMPARO

HpS - Hare Krsna. No somos presentandonos como Acharya como Srila Prabhupada. El tiene pies do loto. Mejor pensar que tenemos pies de margarita.   O pesunyos de puerco. Esperamos que todas sus relaciones materiales, family, iglesia, pais, clarifican. Si continua con rondas y principios, va a pasar. Va a clarificar todas estas cosas. Si estamos rodeado por seis lobos con hambre, solo, en el noche, es casi cierto vamos a morir.

Si tenemos una pistola con seis balas, entonces hay posibilidad vivir.

Pero si estamos relacionando con Krsna todo va ser bueno, morir o vivir. Aparece que esta llegando a esta comprehension. Siempre sea un bienquierente de todos, Amala-k Das, todos! Vd. tiene suficiente poder, ser reina de Peru y salvar a todos. Lo utiliza.

O.K.   Esperamos encontar en primero de Julio!

Iniciacion, aparece que Vd esta lista, pero falta Curso de Discipulos, no???

Paoho.

Today is Ekadasi. We focus on the question: Who am I?    Tomorrow lettuce (let us) focus on the question: Who are we?    If we know who we are, to some extent, then we can relate to others.

Third Day, Trayodasi: What is the plan?  Then we can develop our Calendar (based upon self knowledge and knowledge of others (a solid floor)).

Caturdasi: What things do we need to accomplish the Plan. Of course, that shall be the final Kapi-Dhvaja itself.

The unfortunate conclusion of the first days work is that we are Pleasure Seeking. Well P'pada says the same from the Vedanta Sutra: Anandamaya 'bhyasat. The Jiva is basically pleasure seeking. [Vis. Jayananda's first visit to P'pada.]

Seeking pleasure we want to associate with Krsna and the cowherd boys. They are having the most fun. We are not egoistic pleasure seekers. We can find pleasure once we have an honest relation with Krsna. Krsna does not claim to be perfect. He is trying to do His job, be God of the Universes, to the best of His ability, then He gets back to Braja as soon as possible and tries to deal with all the problems and puzzles that come up there along with everyone else.

To see it, we have  to join it, but if we have grevious misconceptions about Krsna in Vraja, P'pada in ISKCON (?) then we will be looking TOTALLY the wrong way when He tries to reveal it to us.  Good conceptions are goo background for direct experience.

When you try to understand who you are, you must be ready to eliminate everyone who is not related to your real self.

We stand in an empty space at the feet of Srila Prabhupada. We don't remember what anyone else has said about him. We just want to know him, from this perspective, directly. We will live or die with that relationship.

Then we add the forest, the ocean, the town, the boys, the families. That's enough.

[[[The Gopis scare us]]]

Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada! Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada! Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada! Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada!    Nitai-Nimai!!   Hare Krsna / Hare Rama!  Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada! Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada! Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada! Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada, Prabhupada! 

Hare Krishna Maharaj Ji, please help --1

Respected Maharaj ji,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you so much for your association in Pune Iskcon temple, Sri Sri Radha Kunjabihari.

Sorry I could not write you for long time because i was sick

Maharaj ji, did you get the  malaga devottee available online - on the phone, please let me know, thank you very much.

HpS - Hare Krsna. We tried but could not. No one I could contact knew his where abouts well enough to readily contact him. Then, we were drowning with other work so we could not put more effort into! Seems you must take shelter of someone stronger than this poor dog.

I'll be grateful for the same, thanks

Your servant,

narayandas

Estimado Gurudeva si esta carta ya le llego? no estoy segura por eso la mando una vez más, espero se encuentre bien de salud y en su predica, estamos algo locos, comienzo a entender que soy obsesiva como Ud. eñaló en algún momento, y eso me trae muchos problemas, estamos tratando de seguir nadando en medio de este océano, a veces estuvimos muy mal, priorizando cosas temporales, calentura casi a punto de perdernos, pero gracias a Ud. sabemos que es una locura, lo real son los santos nombres nuestra medicina.

Este mes nos visitan muchos Gurus esperamos recuperarnos por completo, volveremos a distribuir libros en otras modalidades no solo buses, y continuaremos solo en la mañana enseñando en colegio, agradezco a Fray Luis de León, a Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, e incluso al hablar del universo pude hablar de la invocación del ISO, tal vez no sea la mejor maestra pero mis alumnos van a cuestionarse mucho, fue un respiro poder  hablar de vida contemplativa, de ideales elevados, etc.

Creo que para mi protección y felicidad puedo trabajar en varias cosas, pero aun así, no puedo vivir sin distribuir libros, llego a esa conclusión, siempre que pueda distribuir un libro es como sentir la sonrisa de Prabhupada, en fin creo que solo los distribuidores de libros pueden entenderme.

Respecto del nombre de la escuela, como estamos en el país de los Incas, quisiera una fusión quechua y sanscrito, porque Little bears school,  suena muy americano. Algo como “Yachaywasi jambavanitos”, “Yachaywasi Lava”, yachaywasi es la escuela del saber en tiempos del Inca es quechua. Ya sabe el orgullo peruano

¿Suena bien o nada que ver?

Por favor sus bendiciones, por el momento tendremos pocos alumnos, el 12 iniciamos y lo invitamos a participar un domingo, nuestra asesoras a pesar de la insistencia no se pronuncian, esperamos pronto saber de ellas.

Lo estamos esperando.

HpS - ASA -   AGTSP. Paoho.  Impossible for us to read the whole letter. We are wooden headed Donkeys in Spanish. So we put it in www.translate.google.com.  Honestly I think we are in the same situation. I guess many people are. We do not have a good relgious community, but that is VAD and is for another age. We can only expect society in Sankirtan parnters and even that is second class. First class is to connect to Krsna through many paramparas as our only, secret lover.

Yes, Little Bears, was just a stimulous. Maybe Little Cuyis, or Little Llamas????    Whoever can learn to fight for Rama.   Send photos of your students.

Hare Krsna!

AGTSP!!!    Paoho & Bw.    We have felt rather exhausted to day. Maybe is because we stayed up late last night and didn't get up so early for chanting before Mangala arati.
We did some more grass cutting and introduced ourselves to our new neighbor. His name is Paul. He was with the military in Alaska. We had a nice discussion about cosmology, immortality of the soul, why we are both in Tennessee.

He is a very nice person.

Now we have a ton of rounds to do. It is 5.00PM, but that is O.K.  It was too hot to chant during the day. We are pretty alone here. Everyone has gone to the Sadhu-sanga. We will get Abhirama Das association tomorrow.

We have so many dutys, and we are so stupid, insincere, we hope Krsna can give us some perspective how to be useful to everyone.

Hare Krsna!
 

Kirtan, Kirtan, Kirtan.
 

We will call NGD and everyone. They should be driving back from Sadhu Sanga Festival now!
 

   The Light of Lord Caitanya
          Will change the Kali yuga!
