Mi querido Guru Maharaja:

Dandavats pranamas. Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada. Todas las glorias a ud. y su servicio a Srila Prabhupada. Todas las glorias al día auspicioso de su Vyasa-puja.

Dentro de las muchas cualidades que ud. posee, deseo empezar resaltando su lealtad, lealtad íntegra, honesta y completa a Srila Prabhupada. Lealtad para practicar sadhana diariamente, seguir sus votos espirituales, las reglas y regulaciones, las enseñanzas e instrucciones de Srila Prabhupada, todo el estándar devocional de vida espiritual que nos ha dejado nuestro Fundador-Acarya. Cada año trato de comprender más y mejor cómo ud. está siguiendo a Srila Prabhupada de esa manera, con esa lealtad que es un motor para el servicio.

Ud. está sirviendo a Srila Prabhupada incansablemente, entregando su cuerpo, su mente y sus palabras sin condiciones, viajando extensamente para predicar y otorgar este conocimiento de Conciencia de Krsna a todas las almas necesitadas de iluminación. Ud. nos entrega una muestra excelente de lealtad a Srila Prabhupada al seguir el ejemplo de prédica de su maestro espiritual. Y en ese espíritu de prédica, es una misericordia el cuidado que brinda a los vaisnavas, la nobleza en sus tratos sinceros y amorosos.

Esa lealtad a Srila Prabhupada es su joya y distinción como un caballero. Ud. es el guía, señor y amo para dirigirnos a Srila Prabhupada y conducirnos a Sri Krsna. Muchas gracias por darnos su asociación, su ejemplo y sus enseñanzas.

Por favor perdone mis limitaciones, errores y ofensas.

¡Jaya Srila Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja!

¡Jaya Srila Prabhupada!

Jaya Sri Vyasa-puja!

Su sirviente eterno,

Jiva-Sakti dasa.

HpS - Thank you.   We read Spanish poetry like a donkey, but we understand 90% of your letter. Just follow the basic standard strictly for the next ten years and you will be a Guru. You can help Srila Prabhupada so much then.

AgtSP!

AgtGuru and Gauranga!

Hare Krsna!

I am Budanath Das from the little mountain.

Happy Happy birthday, Vyasa Puja.

Forgive me not write before, this last weekend has been like hell, my fault.

I think I must be more serious, I think I'm starting to be very polluted with worldly mentality.

My gift for You is, be very serious with 4/16, not like now. I know that it is the best for me, but is the only important thing I can give to You. I will sent to You more news about be serious.

Hare Krsna!

hps - asa -   AGTSP   paoho.    Is almost 250 degrees farenheit, here in Cordoba, but we try to see these letters.   Must get up early to do the 16/4.

Todas las Gloria  Srila Prabhupada!

Jay Nimai Jay Nitai! 

Querido Guru Maharaja:

Por favor acepte mis reverencias, como vara me postro. En este día de Vyasa puja usualmente nos pide un reporte de actividades del año y aunque son pocas las flores que puedo ofrecer como ofrenda a sus pies de loto así lo hago.  Estoy sentado en un rio escuchado como canta Sita Ram Sita Ram, y medito en como ud siempre ve a todos los seres como asociados del Sr. Por su misericordia hemos continuado en servicio al Sr Jagannatha en el comite Ratha Yatra Cd. de  México por misericordia de Krsna pudimos presentar la historia del Rey Indrayumna, con una buena producción consideramos, tal vez un 65% de nuestro deseo de profesionalismo. Pudimos servir en Ratha Yatra de GDL como maestro de ceremonias al igual que en Mty. Donde pudimos tener la misericordia de acompañarle en una balsa con Srimati Subadra. Realizamos un exitoso concierto de Kirtan con P  Tejas Svit en una escuela de yoga, acompañado de una Puja a Ganesha (donde este burro fue el sacerdote) la gente canto entusiasmada y explicamos que los Devas son devotos del Sr, la importancia de la devoción en la práctica del yoga y el kirtan como el yoga más sublime y elevado. 17 Libros Pequeños, 5 medianos y dos Bhagavad Gitas. Seguimos asistiendo eventualmente a la mezquita llevamos halava o arroz basmati para sus fiestas sagradas, 80 personas aprox unas 5 u 8 veces al año. Continuamos con el programa de dar caranmrita a nuestros amigos y maha prasadam una de ellas canta activamente ya el santo nombre. Participamos en la organización feria vegana donde también fuimos maestro de ceremonias, el BBT distribuyo libros en un stand. Al final de este año 2015 retomamos la distribución de libros en las calles para ello pedimos humildemente sus bendiciones, queremos hacer sankirtan algunos días de la semana como un servicio para Srila Prabhupada y darle unos buenos zapatazos a la mente, por favor acepte esta intención. Oro fervientemente a Srila Prabhupada le bendiga con una larga vida y salud, para beneficio de la humanidad, Guru Maharaja agradezco infinitamente la misericordia que tiene con este mendigo de los Vaisnavas, usted en verdad me ha dado una misericordia tan especial con su cercana compañía, y sus amorosas bendiciones, ruego al compasivo Brihaspati me otorgue la dirección y guía para rendirme a usted como un verdadero discípulo. 

Los arboles alaban a Ram moviendo sus ramas 

Las aves cantan Sita Ram  -Sita Ram con sus trinos 

Las olas del mar Ragupati claman 

Hanuman a Sita adora con perlas de río

Sugriva tiene su placer en la batalla

Jambavan Jambavati Angada

Observan desde  la playa

Las aves del mar 

Las ardillas los pericos  

...

Celebra una Familia de monos ... Leen el Srimad Bhagavatam.

Hay Un Pastel... Celebran a un Santo.

Donde quiera que mi Atma nazca, en cualquier condición de existencia, su eterno sirviente Akinchana Krsna das. 

HPS - Jaya!!!!!!!!!!!!     Nos vemos pronto.  Adelante!!     Mas Rapido!!!!!!!!   Mas!!    Una carta. 10-Febrero por favor.

Dearest Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our most humble obeisances Guru Maharaj and All Glories to your divine service and all glories His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.

During moments of each day your words and instructions are always there.  You’ve asked during your classes: Do you speak, think, act from the heart? Do you even know if you have a heart?  Honestly Guru Maharaj, to understand how to truly give from the heart we have an amazing example that follows in the footsteps of Srila Prabhupada to such a great length.  A monk as you have called yourself, by the name of Hanumat Presak Swami has been an exemplary example since I was 18 of a servant of Krsna that truly knows how to give from the heart.  Somehow this amazing monk even chose to see a small spiritual spark, a rough microscopic diamond in the rough when encouraging an aspiring prasadam cookie solicitor to keep engaging in Krsna’s service :o). 

I remember during the first few sessions of  the Wednesday Bhakti Sastri class this fall after being on a heitous I could do nothing more than burry my head under my shawl.  Of course no one can see me at my house but this is how I feel in just hearing your words: completely humbled in the presence of a great soul that truly relishes and lives the scriptures, and that there is only one true shelter in this world when I am able to hear the realizations and guidance from you, Srila Prabhupada and shastras.  This has always been my favorite time of the week Guru Maharaj, and without your weekly classes and your merciful association I think so many of us would be eaten by Maya the witch.  Your educational programs and how you conduct them yourself, single handedly, have given us a true direction in our Krsna consciousness.  And really there is no other direction: it leads us to be inspired in our services and association and chanting.  It’s a wonderful spiral as you say, where we perform these activities and revisit these scriptures again and again and find new relishment.  Its ingenious and important.  I hope we can offer to you this year a humble Sunday school curriculum we are starting up this New Year, and in the future with your mercy so much more.

Early January before your last Vyasa Puja, your talk about what a real marriage means.  Without your advice coming directly from Krsna and scriptures, no blessing or auspiciousness would have been there Guru Maharaj.  We did not even know how to go about obtaining such blessings.  You told us with marriage a whole village is involved.  And in this way you connected us to getting the blessings of the Vaisnavas and other significant others.  Being so merciful to see that yes, your spiritual children are, well, still children and need to hear the advice of their father is a true blessing.  You could have decided  we are too fallen or a lost cause or that you have other important matters to deal with.  Instead you tolerated us and guided us during our attempts to dovetail our karma and desires and in this way through your mercy we can swim through these incessant waves by helping us understand how to serve and dovetail everything to Krsna while in this ashram.  If we didn’t have this, I can see by so many examples around me that married life can be truly unsuccessful materially and spiritually in Kali Yuga. We hope to someday please you as your spiritual daughter and son by our service not to our own desires but to you, Srila Prabhupada, and Radha Bunkabihari eternally.

Guru Maharaj, the lowest point of this last year in March I was truly stunned by your mercy.  There I was, with Aja who had horrible asthmatic pneumonia and was completely beside myself trying to single handedly pack and move out of the preschool we were staying at to get further care from my family in Idaho.  The first time you ever directly called was at this time to get a teacher’s contact number. During this low point  you were genuinely concerned about Aja but reassured us that Krsna has plans for us in Boise.  Your compassion to us when I was so mentally weak  helped me through such a tough time letting us know Krsna’s hand is behind everything.  In the Isopanisad it says “He who sees everything in relation to the Supreme Lord, who sees all entities as His parts and parcels, and who sees the Supreme Lord within everything never hates anything, nor any being.”

Thank you Guru Maharaj on this auspicious Vyasa Puja Day. 

Your aspiring servants,

Kamagayatri and Aja

HpS - Thank you.  Just chant Hare Krsna and be happy, Mataji.   Krsna and Radha love you more than you can imagine.  They are planning Aja's life more than you!  They love you all very much. Any time, just chant Hare Krsna and be happy.

Plans, plans, they come from God,

When we chant His Names, He gives His nod.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our most humble obeisances from your aspring servants from the Boise Temple.

All glories to you Guru Maharaj and Srila Prabhupada.

On behalf of the Boise devotees we wanted to offer you a very Happy Vyasa Puja.  We had a very nice gathering in your honor with the small, but joyous Boise crew!  Ananta Rupa, Mark, Ingard and Juniper, Prema Lila, Sri Hari's Bhakti Sastri Anjana Suta study group Mother Sakshi, Aja, and more! Ohe Vaisnava Thakur was sung, offerings from Sri Radhika glorifying your service reminisce of Sri Hanuman and Lord Rama, samosas, apple chutney, vegetable soup with chickpeas, rolls, split pea kitchari, and peanut butter burfi was a grand feast for not 14 but maybe a 144! Pushpanjali and Birthday Cards from the devotees and kids are below, they offered with love to what you have given us dear Guru Maharaj now and forever, access to Srila Prabhupada's instructions and teachings in such a way to captures our attentions and leaves our hair standing on end.  Thank you on this auspicous day for your continued seeds of bhakti you sow, now time to go to bed and look forward to Japa Joe!

Your servants,

The Boise Bhakti Crew

Thank you. We are in Cordoba, Argentina. We have a material body, but we hope to make it dance for Krsna until it diassappears.  Then another one or a spiritual body. All the same we try to do our best for Krsna, by   SRILA PRABHUPADA'S MERCY and don't abuse that mercy!!!!
