NitayGouraPremanande¡¡¡ querido y siempre recordado Gurudev,

Todas las Glorias a PatitaPavana Srila Prabhupada¡¡¡

Siguiendolo atravez de los ojos, de las noticias que envian constantemente mis hermanos espirituales.....peroooo,       ya lo extraño mucho!!!!.........

ASA - AGTSP!  Paoho.   En nuestra altar es Sr. Nrsmha deva de Max Meirs. Hanuman de no se quien. Prahlada Maharaja de Jagat-bandhu Das de Mexico      -y-     Monkey and Piggy de Jambavati Devi Dasi. Altar/photos de Gaura-Nitai, Giriraja y Vrnda-devi de Jambavati Devi Dasi....  Cada manyana poco Tulasi arati para Ella.

...el Servicio en Vani es muy elevado para mi, pues, mis ojos necesitan verlo y recibir su sagrado Darshan!!!............aqui en México nos sentimos desamparados en Separación de ud......perdone nuestras ofensas y torpezas que cometemos, por lo que no reunimos la cualificación suficiente para tener el privilegio de su visita......aun asi, me agarro fuerte del Sankirtan,.....unos dias de Sankirtan es el oxigeno para todo el mes, continuo en el desarrollo de una carrera empresarial que alivie en el futuro el cuerpo viejo¡¡¡.....mi enfoque es tener una casa de retiro en Vrindavan¡¡

ASA - Ya esta! Solamente el tiempo separa la de Vd.

....talvez lo logre o talvez quede a medio camino.......pensar en Vrindavan hace que me llene de fuerzas para desempeñar las actividades materiales necesarias.....el tiempo pasa y mi Padre esta mas debil y enfermo.....mi sueño era llevarlo a Vrindavan, pero, talvez no lo pueda hacer......Recuerdo cuando ud. me dijo; "aprende a encontrar Vrindavan en los pies de Loto de Srila Prabhupada" ....entonces pienso que el Sankirtan me lleva a Vrindavan y por consecuencia a mi anciano padre tambien, él canta todos los dias los Santos nombres que aprendió de un libro de Prabhupada, apesar de que no tiene una Japa el siempre canta los Santos Nombres y lee el Bhagavad Gita,......y por su infinita misericordia querido Gurudev, mi Padre ha desarrollado un apego por ud. siempre lo recuerda y me pregunta cómo está y en donde está...... me siento muy afortunada de ver la mano compasiva de Krishna al ser mi Padre favorecido de recibir unos instantes de su santa Asociación.......Brahmande Brahmite kona Bhagavan  jiva Guru Krishna prasade...... ..eternamente agradecida a sus divinos pies de Loto..

su inútil y torpe sirvienta

m. jambavati d.d.

HpS - ASA --- Padre, Madre, Gato y Dog... We will chant dance in the dust of Vraja even if we must become hogs. [Vamos a cantar y bailar en el polvo de Vraja, aunque debemos ser cerdos.]

Vamos a SU Peru 15 Junio. Poco mas de 2-semanas de hoy dia. Y regresamos por Mejico el 13 Julio. Unas horas en transito con Vds.

Como esta El Aravinda y La Banda Cueramara?
Va Houston para el seminario de educacion con nosotros 13 Julio?

Piensa claro en lo que quiere!    SB 4.9.31 !       Organizar sus austeridades como penetrar mas y mas profundo en el servicio de Radha y Krsna. No important si tiene cuerpo como Super-Pero, Padre anciano o no. Cual es su servicio eterno manifestado en esta mundo material????

Hare Krsna Dear Gurudev,
    Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

HpS - ASA -   Ehhh!   Lotus?   No.           Rose???   No.             Daisy?   Maybe??!!

    All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
    All glories to Guru parampara.
ASA - Jaya!!!!

    Gurudev, Hope you are good in health.
ASA - We are. We work Brother Ass so hard for service and physical sense gratification. His vision is failing. Requires a lot more maintenance, but he appears to be getting a little bit more intelligent. He is becoming a real smart-ass. 

Hope your's is good too!

    Doing backup service in deity department then later they will slowly move for deity worship.

    continuing with BG now a days. without Krsna life is very tough.

    My mind always drag towards Vrndavana.

your fallen servant,
Girivaradhari-Gopal Das

HpS --  Thank you for your news!   So some day soon you may be able to touch Krsna and Radha's lotus feet?   Some progress there.   Better to die in Vrndavana, but if we don't come out to preach, who will know about Braja!!!   As long as we have a little Krsna consciousness.  The Steering Committee headed by Lalita, Visakha, Tunga-vidya et al can keep us connected to Vraja wherever our work is.

Do you have to keep working to maintain you aged parents?

Lord Caitanya told (?) Gopal bhatta Goswami to stay with his parents until they left there bodys, they were Vaisnavas, then leave home, never marry and join Him?

Hare Krsna.

We are you servants!

Dear Gurudeva:

Please, accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhudada!

Thank you for your last visit and thank you for helping me so much with your words. My Japa is still a little bit disorganized but I am trying to improve the quality as much as I can or as much as much as I know. Lately, I am feeling very busy and, sometimes, very tired, but I don't know how to stop or even if I have to do it. So, here I am!  The kids, in my class, have already learnt the Maha mantra and the Govinda song. They really like it. It is very funny hearing them singing it while they are playing at the playground. The school year is almost finished and I can say that these children have enjoyed a lot hearing the Maha mantra, waking up the Deities and all kind of activities relates to Krishna we have made. More than previous years, I think.

About Gurukula, I have divided the group in two. On Thursdays, I have one session with the little ones (1 to 3 y.o.), and on Fridays, the other group (5 to 15). I should divide the last one, as Urmila devi  dasi told me, and I hope I can do it soon. I am just thinking  and asking advice on how to do it.

This last weekend, we went to NVM for the Sri Nrisimhadeva festival. It was very nice. I made some activities with the kids there. They are very nice.

But I am trying to focus a little bit on my rounds. Let's see if I am able to improve them, at least, a little bit.

Thank you so much for reading my letter and hoping you are fine.

Your humble servant,

Purnamasi devi  dasi

HpS - ASA -  AGTSP!!!   paoho.  Thank you for your nice letter.      Happy Birthday, 1976 June 4.

So you will now no longer be a young lady. Now you are 40-years old. In ten more years the energy in your body will be finished. Maybe you can push it to 55. This is all very nice. Krsna is pushing us along to get ready for death. Death in a chance, if not before, to leave this material body, world, and go back to Goloka!

So much is happening there!

We are needed so much.

On the other hand, this world can also be Goloka if we are associating with devotees, preaching to the innocent...

How many rounds do you have done before Mangala-arati? Before breakfast? By 10AM?

That's one nice test to see how you are getting better rounds done.

You work in a Public School, no?   You are teaching those little kids to chant, "Hare Krsna"???

You have a ton of work to do. You have to save yourself, your husband, your kids, your parents, your Church, your Nation. .  .
Mother Yasoda was giving milk to Krsna and then the pot boiled over.  Ooof!  Choices!  Which service to do: Give milk to Krsna or save His pot of milk on the stove.    It is not a choice between Maya and Krsna. It is a choice between this Krsna and that Krsna!!!     Hmmm!
In the Purport Prabhupada says that devotee is always being confronted with these choices in devotional service, but if he is sincere, then Krsna within his heart will give him intelligence which service to do.

The more we chant better 16-rounds, the more intelligence we have.
Waiting to hear the results of your work!

Our respect to Nimai and Jayantai!

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

PAMHO. AGTSP!

I am not sure how much information you got from my email via Mathuradish Prabhu.

I am presently in New Govardhana Farm in Murwillumbah, Australia. I am understand you have been here?

I have been chanting for many years (on and off since 1995), but have just recently moved onto the farm here and have been very serious over the past year or so. I recently finished the disciple course.

I have sought advise from Mathuradish (who I have I great deal of faith in) about who I should take shelter of. He has known me since I joined the farm here three months ago. 

I shared my mind to him about doubts I had about other gurus and so he emphatically recommended you to me. I guess he believed you were an excellent example of a sannyasi and spiritual leader. He has always given me great advise.

I am very pleased to have made contact with you and look forward to hearing again from you soon.

Your servant,

Janardan Das.

HpS - ASA -- Hare Krsna! If you go to our webpage at - www.jayarama.us, and then go to the Archives, you should a file labeled "guru-tattva.docx". It describes our basic idea of Guru.

Ooops!  We made a mistake. It is www.jayarama.us/kd/guru-tattva.txt

What do you think of it?

Say, "Hello, Hare Krsna", to Mathuresa Das for us. I think he could do any ISKCON Guru job that I am doing as well as me.

Waiting for your thoughts!

Yes, we been to New Govardhan. Wonderful place except for the snakes, ei, Mate! 'ow's Dhanesvari & Dhruva and their Ma and Pa ?

Hare Krsna!

Hare Rama!    AGTSP!!!     Paoho & Bw.      We just finished our Saturday Night Live with Spanish language devotees. Was so nice. We read from the Lila-smaranam of Uddhava at the beginning of Canto Three.     First we have to get in Goodness, then we can appreciate the transcendental Form and Pastimes of the Lord as: A giant Hog, A giant Fish, Maha-visnu or whatever He wish!

We have letters from five days, but we are t i r e d!

(Rat One: No you are lazy and greedy! You are a cheater! Taking bananas and baked potatoes and giving nothing in return.).

ASA: Maybe so, but better to just chant Hare Krsna and look for Krsna's lotus feet and join the festival. It is going on. This is the greatest place in the universe, 902 Hillcrest Dr; Murfreesboro, TN; USA.

All the city can come and join the fun we are having.

Of course, it depends toe tally on Krsna. He is fun. He is having a good time with Laxmi as Naryana. It is like a picnic sponsored by the school where everyone is 16-years old more or less, and one student is the greatest adn He has His regular Girlfriend and everyone is just experiencing all the different oportunities of the Spiritual Disneyland, Vaikuntha.

But we have to participate with our contribution: The Catsup!

Today we had two Classes!  Hosted Musa and Tandavika Das. TD had driven for two hours to South of here to Cokeville to pick up Musa. He had been for one week at the Students State Week. The American Legion sponsors about 150-high school kids who divide into 2-parties and get elected to different jobs in the State Government. Musa ran for Governor and got the nomination from his party but lost to the kid from the other party.

He was amazed at how rustic was the consciousness of the Kids. His opponent was serious that they should build a wall and keep people from coming from Kentucky, the State south of Tennessee, and taking jobs from people here. He also said that women are messing up the work force. They should not be allowed to work. Amazing. The real Governor, Head of the State Militia, two Senators and others were there. He was a amzazed at how uninformed they were about history, actual State and Federal administration etc.

Hmmmmm.   Kali-yuga.    It happened in Germany, madness took over.   Only solution is to get your own umbrella and pass them out to others. If it gets bad people will have motivation to hear about Vaikuntha!

Hare Krsna!
See you in Sankirtan-space!!!
