"Nacimiento tras nacimiento uno recibe una madre y un padre, pero si uno recibe la bendición del guru y de Krishna, entonces conquista la energía material y regresa a Dios por medio de la adoración del Señor." 

¡¡¡¡Todas las Glorias a Sri Sri Goura Nitay !!!!
¡¡¡¡Todas las Glorias a Srila Prabhupada!!!!
¡¡¡¡Todas las Glorias y mis más sinceras y respetuosas reverencias a usted querido Gurudeva en el auspicioso día de su aparición!!!!

The year that happened was a very complex and intense physical, mental and emotional demands on all year.
Everything made me think I was running behind diamonds when all I found broken glass and stones were worthless ...
But behind all this there was something else, perhaps Krishna wanted desapegara me even more than the idea of ​​wanting to be foolishly happy, thinking that if I have this, that if I am in a different situation all better, eventually it is also an illusion to trap even this material world, and feeling almost on the precipice you Gurudeva appeared again and again, through dreams, messages that make you reopen your eyes and heart, that one stops and wonder I'm doing Krishna, where I want to run my life ... maybe want to always be on the edge of the precipice or prefer to be in a more stable and secure site serving Gurudeva Srila Prabhupada and to you.

In my heart of stone
I know there's a spark of sincere love for you
you melt even the hardest hearts
you transform even the stones in beautiful flowers
you care for each of us
if only we are useless disciples like me
they can not do much
they advance to a crawl
and that they have the qualities to serve as you deserve

A few weeks ago I had a beautiful dream ...
I walked the streets looking for my house, asking people if they knew how he could get there, but no one could give me an answer, went to a bank where they were all shouting and banging, I myself was beaten and was to defend myself, but I told myself that I do here wasting time and kept walking ... I went looking for my home and in the street I find four little monsters that cross my path and will not let me move, I do not know where I get a sword and short in half, go my way in the distance I see several devotees entered a house and run to where they are, they are preparing a big cake and decorate with garlands and flowers, were waiting for their arrival, they told me to take decorate these cookies, all were doing service cooperation, when we heard that you came to see me .... pulled down to give my obeisances while Jay Gurudev said !!! Alankrti you said to get up !!! and he gestured with his hand as if you were writing and tell me Escribeme ... being so awkward is that Gurudeva told him I had to study so much, I had so much to do ... and you looked at me like this world is Thus, the material world can be very hard and difficult, but was returning to say Escribeme ... (that was clearly his instruction) ... you were very happy to see us all and we were so happy to see him, one of the Gurudev said devotees want to know about the accomplishments he has had, eschucharlo want to share with you, having your partnership, we've missed you so much, she spoke of feeling we all had in our hearts that moment, all eyes filled with tears excitement and love, you also said that we want to sit down, sing and share so that sat and began to sing the Holy Names ...

If I want to be somewhere in the world it is here with you,
with devotees
with Srila Prabhupada
that's where you are my true home,
that is the refuge that have been searching life after life
It's right here where I wanna be.

"Oh Vaishnava Thakur, ocean of mercy! Have mercy on this your servant. Purifíqueme the shadow of his lotus feet. I humbly take their feet."
"Krishna is yours You are able to give it to me, because that is his power I am unfortunate and simply run after you screaming.. Krishna Krishna!".

I'm very lucky to have you as my spiritual master, I hope appreciate that every day, I thank Krishna for having put in my way Srila Prabhupada, thanks to him I met you dear Gurudeva, thanks to you my life has meaning and an address.
My obeisances again and again
Your aspiring servant Alankrti Devi Dasi

HpS - AGTSP.  Please write simple sentences and then put them into translate.google.com. You have so much to say. We want to hear it. Do you think that an ordinary person becomes a devotee? You are continuing this from a previous life. You were a monk (or maybe a monkey) in India and now you are here. Get to work. Don't be so confused by your environment. Girls need fathers, husbands and grown up sons. Ask Krsna to arrange that.

Eternally grateful
Om ajnana-jana-salakaya timirandhasya jñana
Caksur one yena military tasmai sri-gurave namah

I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge, to him I offer my respectful obeisances.
Om Nama Krishna-Vishnu-padaya presthaya bhu-tale
Srimate Hanumatpresaka-iti suamin namine

I offer my respectful obeisances to His Holiness Swami Hanumatpresaka who is very dear to Lord Krishna because they took refuge in His lotus feet.
Dear and Respected Gurudeva, on this glorious day of your Vyasa puja and glorification to Parampara humbly bow down to you and I offer my respectful obeisances.
The first verse of our daily invocations, 90 minutes before sunrise says "The spiritual master receives the blessing of the ocean of mercy. Just as a cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish, the spiritual master delivers the afflicted extinguishing material world the blazing fire of material existence. I offer my respectful obeisances to the lotus feet of the spiritual master, who is an ocean of auspicious qualities. "
You are evident in many auspicious qualities, so let me at this day of Glorious Appearing mention some of them.
Determined and detached: the first time I attended one of his lectures went with several devotees had some musical instruments, and some other mothers prasadam books, everything was fine except that no one came to the auditorium. I remember that after several minutes appeared Dr. Bazan and brought a guest, the architect Walter Leon. But you gave a lecture as if the audience was filled Ricardo Palma, that surprised me and showed me clearly that you are fully determined and detached in service to Srila Prabhupada because he can attend one or many people like you with enthusiasm and so expert submits the message of Lord Caitanya.
Humble Intelligent and Honest: in recent conversations with Dr. Ramón Mujica (National Director of the National Library of Peru) asked who appreciates more in you and he told me "He understands what he wants, has its clear concept maps and knows transmitting them with humor, that makes it an attractive person, but it has not done or proud or arrogant, when one is easy to realize that it is very insightful and genuinely humble. At another point, Dr. Eduardo Gastelumendi (president of the Peruvian Society of Psychoanalysis) mentioned "these days to find people who are intelligent and honest, while it is difficult but finding a scholar and academic completely honest as Hanuman Swami is very difficult, I wish there were more like him, I think thanks to providence know him. "

Dear Gurudeva and Hanumatpresaka is "Hanuman was sent by the Lord Ramachandra to give his ring to Sita Devi", similarly You are: an envoy of Srila Prabhupada to expand and develop their sankirtana mercy and please Lord Nityananda and Lord Caitanya.

Guru Maharaja, you are indispensable in our lives, the perfect example inspires us and helps enthusiastically practicing spiritual life, so, let me offer my eternal gratitude, thank you for waking up and encourage us to develop our relationship with Krishna (sambandha) and and act according to that relationship (abhidheya), to finally reach the ultimate goal (prayojana).

Gurudeva with utmost sincerity that I have I ask pardon and forgiveness for all my sins. I am a clumsy disguise of good intentions, but I have faith in the chanting of the holy names so I try to keep in mind the most precious instructions: Get up early and sing 16 good rounds.
S. S. Hanumatpresaka Swami Maharaja ki Jaya !!
Srila Prabhupada ki Jaya !!
Gaura Nitai premanande. Haribol !!

Thank you ARTD. Your work is so, so, very wonderful. You could do so many other things, but you have dedicated so much to Srila Prabhupada's service without proper compensation. We are in Cordoba. Almost dying from the heat, but we keep our little ife going. We are trying to give people the nectar of Srila Prabhupada's consciousness, Radha Krsna, happiness.
We hope we can do it together forever. We hope we can be with you in Mayapura very, very soon.

All glories to Sri Sri Gaura Nitai
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
All glories to his Holiness Swami Hanumatpresaka

Dear Gurudeva

Please accept my humble obeisances
On this day of your Vyasa Puja, it really is very difficult to express what my heart feels, have been very fortunate to receive the mercy of Krsna to be able to have your company on this important date, because you have been a mainstay in my little progress in Krishna consciousness and to see life from another perspective.

Although I am not a qualified soul, I offer my prayers, my good wishes to you on this day, that Krsna always take care of your health, keep your heart filled with much happiness.

I would also like to thank his cute loving gesture always be available to educate through their answers to my questions, to guide me in the best way in this path of Krishna consciousness, to be an example to me every day, just with power  or listen to you, I have been taught to be more tolerant, to learn more qualified persons, to accept my mistakes, to accept that we can´t flee start from the duties in this life, thanks for helping soul to see all souls as equal, no one is more than another, that we have to be love between us, we must accept ourselves with our virtues and our defects and achieve great triumphs together as devotees. Thanks for helping me to always keep my feet on the ground, and I never forget my position as my duty, thanks for always encouraging me to everything that can happen has a solution and see which is great merciful arrangement of Krishna.
In short, and I sincerely believe that I could never stop thanking every selfless gesture on your part, this makes me feel a great debt to you that one day I hope to give back in some way.

Apologizing for any offense and my little english, and I wishing, you have always wonderful achievements in the company of Krsna, I pray to lordships, for someday to please him with my services, and to be a better disciple for you.

Happy Vyasa-Puja

Your aspiring servant

HpS - Jaya.  Put in more paragraph breaks in your letters. They are perfect. Write more. Write more. Write more!!!   Become a poet like a network of lightning in the beautiful monsoon sky.

Hare krsna pamho
Todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada 
Todas las glorias a usted Guru Dev
nama om visnu-padaya krsna-presthaya bhu-tale srimate Hanumatpresaka Swami iti namine
Se que no soy capaz de glorificar a una persona tan generosa y hermosa como lo es usted, sin embargo mi gratitud hacia usted me invita a poder agradecerle utilizando como vehiculos estas palabras, pero por sobretodo aferrarme a el servicio devocional que usted a inspirado y sembrado en mi corazon. Muchas gracias por su tolerencia,  atencion y por ocupar en servicio a la mision de Srila Prabhupada a una persona como yo.

Soy testigo de como su presencia, humildad, profunda sinceridad, compromiso en lo que vive y comparte afecta, inspira y genera el deseo de acercarse a Krsna y sus enseñanzas no solo en devotos practicantes si no tambien en todo tipo de almas que habitan en este mundo.
Quienes han tenido un contacto con usted guardan esa experiencia como un tesoro en sus vidas. 
Gracias por enseñarnos a generar puentes entre las personos, sus culturas y sus diferentes visiones de la realidad como un concepto maduro de acercarnos a Krsna y la realizacion de Dios en sus diferentes aspectos ( brahman [panteismo], paramatma[misticismo] y bhagavan [monoteismo] ) y no como una cuestion de imponer nuestro ego religioso. Su vida y dedicacion demuestran lo aferrado a las instrucciones y pies de su divina gracia Srila Prabhupada, oramos por su exito en su mision de sankirtan (conquistar el mundo) y que podamos estar prendidos a sus pies e instrucciones como usted lo ha logrado con su amado guru dev.
Gracias por su infinita compasion, dedicacion y  ejemplo 
Su eterno sirviente Ambarisa Maharaja Das

HpS - AGTSP.   Hare Krsna. Sure is warm here [Cordoba]. but now, 5.46PM, seems to be start to cool off. We will see you in a few minutes in the car to evening program. Body will rot with old age. Impossible to control the crash. Just chant Hare Krsna in the core of your heart and Krsna will use us to acheive His plans.

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Gurumaharaja on this auspicious day I would like to thank you for inspiration to the devotional life.

Due to my bad working habbits I had serious difficulties with morning program in last years. Result of this and my harsh mentality is that I am in deep darkness. You are light, always reminding how important is good morning program and good rounds.

Only your excellent example of humbleness, unstoppable preaching and kindness is giving me hope that I could become better person by following your instructions and example.

You are always very mercifull to send some of Your disciples who are visiting Sridham Mayapur to meet. It is enlightening to speak with them and see how everybody resemble you in a different way. Longer time ago there was older devotee (forgot his name), but I remember he is carpenter (from Boise?). When we were speaking I felt you are just sitting next to me.

I am very thankful that you are always helping me from the darkness of ignorance and hopefully I will be able to cause you happiness one day.

This month I took leave from my TOVP service, so I can completely focus on finishing new version of vedabase.com. I am looking forward to present it to you when you come to Mayapur and hope you will love it.

Thank you for everything!

Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha Das (Czech, Mayapur)

HpS - I love you very much Prahlad nrsmha Das. You are a very nice person and I think you just have to make one simple rule in you life, like: "Get 16 rounds done before breakfast", or "Always go to Mangala arati"... Then everything else will get in line naturally from your good nature.

Aren't you going to have any kids?   What's the hang-up?   How long it take you to buy Audi!!

Hare Krisna, querido Gurudeva.

Por favor, acepte mis humildes reverencias, dandavats. Todas las Glorias sean para Srila Prabhupada.

Espero que se encuentre bien en todos los aspectos.

Hace un año, en su vyasapuja, celebrábamos la iniciación de Mantri Rama Das y Jambula Das prabhus en el templo de Madrid. Fue un gran regalo para usted y un gran regalo para todos nosotros.

Hace unos minutos que he estado viendo una clase suya en Mexico del mes de Octubre de 2015 acerca del canto tercero del Srimad Bhagavatam. Eso ha formado parte de la celebración privada que hemos tenido en casa. Quiero agraderle su generosidad y fidelidad a Srila Prabhupada, su entrega a los devotos y no devotos, y su Tolerancia y Misericordia con discípulos como yo. No soy calificado y mi karma no me permite comprender demasiado. Soy bastante desafortunado, por un lado, porque sigo bastante enrredado en esa realidad temporal de la que hablaba en su clase. Por otro lado, soy afortunado porque sigo aspirando a servir, aunque mi servicio es muy muy muy deficiente y en muchas ocasiones ofensivo. Pero estamos y seguimos luchando, auque sólo sea como una hormiga en el carro de Arjuna.

Este año 2015 ha sido muy difícil para mi, para mi servicio, para mi sadhana. Ha sido muy muy duro, pero no lo miro con rencor, sino con aceptación y con ganas de superación. Ha sido un curso express de aprendizaje del que he salido muy magullado. Pero en el que en ningún momento he perdido la fe en Krisna ni en Prabhupada, aunque a veces si en los devotos, en algunos devotos, o quizá la fe en mi mismo. Quiza algún día pueda comprender y servirles mejor.

Este año 2016 vendrá nuestro hijo, sobre el 20 de Abril. Hemos pensado llamarle Manu, por Svayambhuba Manu. Esperamos Carcika y yo que nos de sus bendiciones. Seremos padres y estaremos al cargo de un devotito, si Krisna quiere.

Mi ofrenda para este 2016 por su Vyasapuja es mi paternidad y el compromiso de intentar en todo lo posible criar a nuestro hijo en Conciencia de Krisna, con tolerancia y comprensión. Ser más cuidadoso en el canto de mis rondas y rigor en mis principios. Se que yo sólo, por mi mismo no puedo. Por eso imploro su Misericordia para que el Señor Nityananda logre que Krisna mire a esta familia con compasión. Y que Krisna me permita trabajar para Él y ocuparme en Él.

Gracias Gurudeva por estar siempre ahí y por llevarnos de la mano de regreso a Casa, de vuelta a Dios, Krisna en Goloka.

Sus humildes sirvientes.

Dandava Das y Carcika Devi Dasi.

HpS - Gracias.... Manu es un nombre muy bueno.   Mas hijos???    Sujetos de su reino?
