HpS - Jaya!   AGTSP.  Thank you very much. This is so complicated, but I guess for the Pandava's thikngs were even more complicated!
 

Please accept my humblle obaissances

All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you loved Gurudeva

I sent Vyasapuja letter and it seems that was one of the two erased. Interesting! All what happens is Krishna's will.

We are working a lot in my job, there is a lot of preassure. I think this is the time in my life whre most pressure I had. So it was hard with rounds and sankirtan.

Now it seems that starts to be a little better. We have been praying and sometimes crying for the help of the Lord to do what we came to do in Colombia.  It seems that it works to ask help to the Lord for a "spiritual desire".

So after 3 years of trying to do something in the countryside, and do almost nothing of preaching. We have come to the city.

Now we ask for your blessings, we need it. We can´t do anything without your blessings, and all kind of wonderfull things will be possible with your blessings. All kind of miracles can happen.

We ask for your blessings because we are going to start this project of preaching in a city where we are almost pioneers, there is few devotees, I think just a couple of them chanting rounds, and the preaching work will be a big challenge.

Srila Gurudeva, all we your disciples are very fortunate because you are a very extraordinary soul in this world.

Somehow or other we are getting some taste by your association, and sometimes, for a short time, rounds are nice, kirtan, appreciation for other devotees service, everything is becoming deeper, sweeter, heart seems to change...

Our focus now is to improve sadhana, wake up earlier in the morning and chant good rounds. And searching a place to start Sunday programs in the core center of Medellín city. And some sankirtan.

We pray to Srila Prabhupada and and Lords Gauranga and Nityananda to empower us to serve them properly  in their mission, to please them, and to please you.

Thanks for all your big mercy. More and more we are apreciating that your mercy is coming to us.

Your humble servant. Jambavan das

HpS - AGTSP. All we can do is chant Hare Krsna, our rounds, mangala arati, SB, and preach peacefully. Then Krsna will do the magic as He likes.

We just answered all the letters but a couple got erased. Traveling we can't do everything. It is almost 125 degrees Farenheit here in Cordoba, Argentina. It is dark and hot. All the windows are closed. Lot of stress on our eyes with this computer. We did FMP with Ekacakra gram Gaura-Nitai Das, Vrsabhanu nandidni Devi Dasi's father this morning. everyone else was d-e-a-d from the BIG SACRIFICE to organize the Jung x Bhagavata Program last night.

Then we worked on the Godfather Diploma, SB 2-3, file. It is very, very difficult. Trying to sumarize the Bhagavatam in a question format.

Maybe we should do some other Sankirtan, but the best way to do that is to continue with what we are doing.  Sankirtan is the best way to improve our Sankirtan, no?

Then some soup with Ambarisa, Eka, Vbnndd (her baby) and Champaka-lata Devi Dasi.

Life is tough then...      you die.

Then napped a little. Read a little from Gutenberg.org, Britannica about History of China (literature) and    BLOG >>>=====>     Answered ALL the Mail.

Saturday is the Kapi Dhvaja.

The PDP class will be at 8AM Nashville hour for both Spanish and English.

Ambarisa Das just came in (How is Hari Lila Das?), and opened the windows. Got some light now. Heat is decreasing. Not as bad as was Kolkatta. Now we write few more letters: NA Education Conference, (Skype chat with RGD. He is going to Houston), upload some files, bath, go to evening program, read five annual reports.

All Glory to Srila Prabhupad

All Glorory to Movement of SANKIRTAN by Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Lord Ntiananda Prabhu And the follower of them

All Glory to the Vaisnava's Merciful

I pray to any day we can be useful to you and Srila Prabhupada.

your simple crew member Aniruddha Krsna Das

Thank you AKD.   You have sacrificed big position in the material world to be a begger in Krsna conscousness.  Maybe you will get a prize for your love for Krsna that is so big and so eternal that you can never imagine what is coming for you.

But then you will just put it aside and go back to begging for Krsna.

Dear Gurudeva.

Por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias.

Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!

śikṣā-guruke ta’ jāni kṛṣṇera svarūpa

antaryāmī, bhakta-śreṣṭha,—ei dui rūpa

Hay que saber que el maestro espiritual instructor es la Personalidad de Kṛṣṇa. El Señor Kṛṣṇa Se manifiesta como la Superalma y como el devoto más grande del Señor.(c.c.adi lila 1.47)

ācāryaṁ māṁ vijānīyān nāvamanyeta karhicit

na martya-buddhyāsūyeta sarva-deva-mayo guruḥ

«Hay que saber que el ācārya soy Yo mismo, y que no se le debe faltar al respeto de ninguna manera. No hay que envidiarle, creyéndole un hombre común, porque es el representante de todos los semidioses.» (CC Ādi 1.46)

Dear Gurudeva, accept my humble obeisances All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I started this my humble offering, with these two verses of Caitanya Caritamrta, to glorify properly. This task will be a great purification for me. I've been looking for God since childhood, thanks to the books of Srila Prabhupada, I could find it in its original form.

Thanks to Srila Prabhupada know that Balarama is adi guru, and is manifested internally and externally. It manifests externally as the spiritual master, who is not an ordinary person. It is a fact that in this world and in this age of Kali especially that there are many impostors posing as Gurus and Guru are in various stages of enlightenment. All these concepts can generate discussions among the devotees, and it is for this reason that many take different directions.

In my particular case, I consider it a great fortune to have come to formalize my bow in the family of Srila Prabhupada. I am completely convinced that Srila Prabhupada is that great personality sent by the Lord Caitanya, who hoped the previous Acharyas to enable prediction of Lord Gauranga to spread the holy name all over the world, and that makes me very proud. I relate to Srila Prabhupada not only through reading his books, or in the worship of the murti, if not, I consider my strongest tie, which I have with him through his sincere disciple you. "No one comes to the Father except through the Son" and in the case of Srila Prabhupada through his representative, and my great fortune is that I have only a Guru who is a direct disciple of Srila Prabhupada.

My good fortune is that I have to you, as my beloved spiritual master. Now I have almost 15 years, as a formal disciple, and although I struggled a lot with my practices and votes, I can still stay close. It's not just sentimentality. You are a sincere and very dedicated to the mission of Srila Prabhupada disciple. His determination to execute sadhana for many years makes it one of today acharyas for vaidhi sadhakas. His impeccable character and detached from selfishness and vanity, shows the standard, we must purify our hearts catch up with the process. Its educational and academic spirit are becoming a true revolutionary in our society Iskcon.

Your child's soul, when it gets sensitive, or share time with other children, or simply when swinging on the swing. His charisma and power in conferences, always enlightening devotees, expert way to answer questions, and getting stronger instruction of Srila Prabhupada's books. His intense love for his disciples, always trying to be near them, to guide, to correct, to excite them. His indifference to worldly things or those that have nothing to do with Krsna.

Its so expertly similar treatment to all, well-wishers and opponents, and many divine qualities could write pages, and does not want to pass myself off as someone who knows too much, because no one can fully know the pure devotee. I have only mentioned some of their qualities, but of all those, a quality is very prominent, "humility" In the scriptures it is mentioned that "The more humble, more advanced" and You are living proof of that.

Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, no doubt. Srila Prabhupada is a bona fide representative of Krsna, he is our Acharya, no doubt. You wanted Gurudeva is a genuine disciple of Srila Prabhupada, no doubt and we have a connection with you, it behooves us to be genuine, not to lose that connection. Once I gave him a hut flower in the temple, and you dance very beautifully before Radha Madan Vihari, with flower in her danda. Although it is difficult to explain, my materialistic heart was conquered by his devotion. Please accept my obeisances again and accept me in the shelter of your your beautiful lotus feet.

HpS - ........    ........     .................         By the mercy of the Spiritual Master even a dog can swim across the ocean. . . .    See you in  a few days. .... We have fought so many battles together...  Bigger ones to come.

Dear Guru Maharaja, please, if you wish accept my prostrated to the dust of His Lotus Feet bows.
You are like the sun, traveling tirelessly, bringing His light, a light of hope that illuminates the fallen souls of this world, transmitting to his knowledge and accomplishments in Krishna consciousness, explaining such a complex and complete science in a simple and easy to understand, knowing how limited are.
You tolerate long and endless trips surrounding himself with sinful, envious, lustful people who have the good fortune to understand that they have the wonderful opportunity to interact with a Vaishnava, a pure devotee, a saint, who only think every time how to get us This materialistic entanglement plunging us more in this illusory energy; Supporting schedule changes that disrupt both good rest, changes in climate, different food in each country and many other problems that can not even imagine and all, for our benefit, regardless of how uncomfortable as you continue to travel continues to tolerate !!!!
You educate us, with love, despite our stupidity, faults, and other offenses anartas corrects us with fatherly love that only wants the best for their children no matter how many inconvenience this will cause you taught us to be happy in Krishna consciousness with joy that every moment is manifested in his wonderful smile.
So, you are a role model, teaching not only with his words, also with their acts and every moment of his glorious life, shows us how to be a gentleman, a Vaishnava eternal servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna, a perfect Disciple, delivered faithfully to follow the order of his spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada.
Maharaja, thanks for letting me be part of your family, for my part, I honestly do not find a way to thank you for everything you do for us, I pray to You and Krishna to someday be able to be useful, in the way you choose.
Life after life, trying to serve his servant aspiring to disabled
