All Glories to Sri Sri Gour Nitay!
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All Glories to you! 

HARE KRISHNA MAHARAJ! how are you? How is your health? 

I'm Camila R., I haven't written you in a long, long, long...loooooong time... sorry about that. I'm originally from Chile, now living in Buenos Aires Argentina, maybe you don't remember me. 22 years old :) 

I couldn't be able to be in your visit in Chile, and also I couldn't be able to be in your visit in Argentina...but FORTUNATELY by the mercy of Lord Krsna I had the opportunity to see you, one day before the congress of education started. I felt so blessed to have the oportunity to see you, just for a few moment,That was enough to feel immensely happy...

My life, and my spiritual life is ALWAYS going up and down, ALWAYS fighting with my mind, that usually wins <img alt="sad" height="23" src="http://hps-d6.monkeywarrior.com/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/sad_smile.png" title="sad" width="23" />...I've recently had a "down" time ... and I want to apologize, because I feel a very strong compromise with you, even if you don't know that, i guess..
I wanted to tell you, that your visit in Chile, make a GIANT  impression in my heart (again). I thought that I wouldn't see your holiness, and I was thinking like: "ok, maybe next year", so stoic. But then I saw you Maharaj ..and I thanked lord krsna for give me the opportunity to remind me what is important in life, and the compromise that I have in my heart with you Maharaj... I've told once you that I feel strongly that you;HH is my guide in this path to help Srila Prabhupada's mission...and finally return home. 
Please please please help me, and guide me home. Please accept me. 


Now, i'm returning to be more strong and stable in my spiritual life...I ask for your blessing in this time, I ask for your blessing in this fight with my mind... 
With nothing more to say, thank you very much Maharaj...I hope you are fine when reading this letter . :) 

Hare Krishna!
Sincerely, this foolish attempt servant.

RADHE!


 

hare krsna gurudeva

mis mas humildes reverencias a sus pies de loto,todas las glorias a srila prabhupada y a usted.

como esta gurudeva? espero que se encuentre de todo bien,todos los dias le pido a krsna que lo cuide y proteja. el motivo por el que le escribo es respondiendo a el reporte anual referente a la segunda iniciacion. 

si le hablo con el corazon solo con pensar en poder atender a las deidades en algun momento me hace la mujer mas feliz del mundo,esa es mi meta desde que soy pequeña, aunque no hice bhakti sastri,hable con mi querida hermana candra mukhi y ahora empiezo con ella a estudiarlo aunque me dijo que es un proceso largooooo.

si a usted le parece, yo si estoy preparada, si se que debo aprender mucho todavia pero con constancia todo se puede conseguir verdad!!! asi que lo que usted me diga yo le obedezco :-)

un saludo de su burra sirvienta mani-sati sita dd

The sun has set and it is depressing. It is 6.07PM in the Sannyasi ashrama in Houston. Seems this is the first chance we have had to write in a while!

As we said we finished off the Tour with the "Second Education Congress" in the jungles of Chile, and then for the next six nights we woke up in five differenent beds [and one airplane seat].

Here in Houston the pace was just a thick: Goloka Foundation, Goloka Education, Bhakti-vaibhava.

Finally Brother Ass revolted and we had the second worse headache we have had in our entire life. Last time Doctor said we were one inch from a brain stroke, so we rested the brain.

Even now we are beginning to get one again.... Hari lila Das just came in. NGD just called. We are fat!

Jupiter!

A lot of our work at this age is purifiying the tool.

We have about 6-letters. None marked Urgent.

We called about five people today about travel plans. Our rounds are a little behind. We are working on the Peru conference and answered one nice Blog letter and a the Yahoo mail.

O.K. A quick bath.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Dev!

PAMHO. All glories to Srila Prabhupad!

Progressing nicely here in DC getting back into the swing of things after being shut down for a week due to a blizzard. I can’t help but wonder, is there ever snow in Goloka?

HpS - AGTSP!!!!   As far as we know there is but it is not cold!

It seems like an obvious answer but I find snow extremely beautiful and peaceful and if we get that here on the hellish planet, then there must be a full, more exquisite version of it on the heavenly planets right? (besides Shiva's planet)...

Back on track, I am getting up early, doing morning program, figuring out the right beat of japa. Still a novice at best.

HpS - We are a bumbling bear, but we are trying to also do good MP and Japa!

My mom and I are going to India next month (March 2-22), to the holy dham of Vrndavan! I am extremely excited for that. I’ve been losing myself reading the histories and stories of ancient temples and can feel my spirit already in Braj. You will be there at that time too, correct? Is there any way we can arrange to hear and see your programs? (If appropriate, serve you in anyway?) Being in vraj and serving guru is thousandfold a blessing.

HpS - Our Calendar is in the Kapi-Dhvaja. We 2-22 we will be in Mayapura, Manipur and maybe Kolkatta!!!!  Have a very nice trip!

Besides shoveling the temple, there hasn’t been much activity. At work however, a nice (new) Indian lady asked if I was observing ekadasi one day and I said yes. Since then, we’ve been “ekadasi partners” and are always engaging in talks about the Bhagavad Gita and SB and sharing prasadam. So there has been some preaching activity on the workside! Everyone inquires about vegetarianism in the office and are baffled at how I do it.  It seems like the most difficult subject to convey or convince them of. Sharing prasadam usually sways the crowd. I’m hoping sooner or later, it will affect their consciousness to opt for a better, sattvic diet, but I must focus on being the instrument and not on the results. Need to learn to better respond in a more didactic manner.

HpS - Yes, didactic: Stories, Prasadam(!), but also example of your own activities. Have you read Diet for a New America?  It is still a great book?

I’m more than halfway done with the Disciple course and have learned a significant amount. I have a better understanding of Guru...

HPS - ASA - It is unlimited, but we want enough to work today, no?

I am continuing BG classes led by HG Subala Sakha Prabhu.  I may have mentioned this before, but I feel like I don’t have a purpose anymore in Sri Chaitanya’s mission. In school, preaching was on my mind all day every day for four years. It was targeted towards a specific audience so that helped. Would you instruct me a specific service that I can channel my energies towards ?

HpS - Can't do it without specific knowledge of your situation. Krsna sent the Ekadasi partner.  Keep looking. Krsna will send more.

Sorry for taking up your time maharaj with my petty problems. I hope your health is better than good, and the travels are not taking a toll on your body. I look forward to hearing of you and from you! Harinam Sankirtan ki jai!

Your fallen servant,

Sarita

HpS - I'm sorry our letters are slow.  We will send a DTC right now!  Thank you so much!  More.

Jaya Sri Krsna!

Esteemed Professor et al,
We hope this meets you in the best of spirits and engaged in your humanitarian works meant to save the world. We are in Houston, Texas at our enormous Nila-madhava Dhama complex. We are short of breath and our eyes are failing, so we are having to make very serious decisions about our priorities in life.
The tour of South America was very, very intense and very, very productive. The NIOS projects of 'Psychology and the Sacred' with the National Library of Peru is progressing very systematically. The journal, 'Solaris', will be published March 30th. We have many Abstracts from such internationally acclaimed philosophers such as Claudio Naranjo who is Nobel Candidate for Peace, Beverly Zambieskii, who is co-founder of the Jungian Society of New York, the Philemon Foundation and author of 60-books and your Kalyanakumar. Many of these are also dedicated to joining the Conference in June.

Also we initiate new disciples for Prabhupada and do a lot of individual counseling.
The work with the ISKCON Ministry of Education is very consuming. Similarly, Goloka Education with Rama-giridhari Das.

In short, we are very low on physically energy but doing well with spiritual perspective on how to use it, by Guru-krpa.

How are you!?

We have no news. We tried to call like five times in three days while we were in Chile but could never get through and other times thwarted by the time differences.

Back in the USA for three days thikngs are just as demanding, but we are learning to put severe brakes on things and focus.

We will try, try, try to contact you this morning with Rama-giri-dhari Das at about 9.00AM IST.

We have our tickets to Delhi, Kolkatta and Manipur. After that we are at your disposal.

We will try to call but also look for your mails.
Thank you so much for your kind association....

Hanumatpresaka Swami
